Yang Gong picked up his tea cup, sipped the hot tea and said slowly:

"it's not difficult to solve the problem of the flying beast army. Let Zhang Shen cooperate with the experts in the army and break it one by one."

There is no way for ordinary soldiers and low-grade soldiers to take the flying beast army, but it is not difficult for the four grade masters who can resist the wind to deal with the flying beast army.

Li mubai glanced at his friend and reminded him: "there are also experts in the flying beast army. Besides, we can think of such a simple strategy, but the rebels can't think of it? Maybe it's another trick to invite the emperor into the urn. "

It's too dangerous for the four grade master to leave the base camp and kill the enemy in the air alone. He'll never come back.

"If only we had an army of flying beasts."

Some staff members said with emotion...

"Perhaps, we can ask the demon man for help and ask the feather spider of the Department of gold and wood to go south to help."

The speaker didn't want to listen, and the listener wanted to. A staff member on the left felt a move, but this idea was quickly denied:

"what's the difference between your idea and asking the court to recruit red tailed fierce eagle. Moreover, the northern border is 100000 li away from Qingzhou. How can we get there? "

"How about asking sun Xuanji to help? He's a third class Warlock. If he can be responsible for" carrying ", it may not be impossible."

"If sun Xuanji is gone, who will restrain Ji Xuan? Alas, I didn't expect that there was a young sanpinwufu among the rebels in Yunzhou. "

"However, it's really feasible to ask for help from demon man. It's just that according to the process, you have to write to the imperial court first, and then the imperial court will send envoys to the north. Even if demon man agrees, it will be after the spring when the flying beast army of the Department of gold and wood goes south to fight."

"Far away, not near thirsty."

"You are too short-sighted. When you dismissed the flying beast army, it was because there was no use of military force in the peaceful and prosperous times. But after the battle of Jingshan City, the princes should be on guard. "

"If Duke Wei was still there, he would have started to cultivate the flying beast army."

"If only we had an army of flying beasts."

Li mubai knocked on the table, interrupted the helpless topic, and said in a deep voice:

"the Dongling mausoleum has been broken. Under the leadership of sun Xuanji, the Garrison has turned into a field battle with the rebels, and the north and the south face off. Wan county is besieged. The rebels plan to use the detection power of the flying beast army to encircle and help. This is a war of attrition. There will be no change in the short term.

"But if we ignore it for a long time, Wan county will run out of ammunition and food sooner or later."

He stopped for a moment, looked around the frowning staff, and said:

"if we can't find a way to solve the plight of Wan County, we must find a way to keep Songshan county."

The staff around him was stunned at first, then reacted and looked at Yang Gong:

"master, if I remember correctly, so far, there has been no successful report or letter for help from Songshan county."

Yang Gong nodded:

"compared with Dongling county and Wanjun County, Songshan county is more important. The rebels in Yunzhou must have attacked the first two places. "

Li mubai said: "well,

" Songshan County occupies a lot of land. It has plenty of food and grass, and Zhujun and Erlang are sitting in the town. I think they can keep it. However, according to the current situation, Dongling is broken and WAN county is surrounded.

"The next step for the rebels in Yunzhou is Songshan county."

Just then, an official came in in a hurry, holding a secret letter in his hand, and said in a high voice:

"chief envoy, urgent report from Songshan county."

Yang Gong said hastily, "present it."

The clerk handed over the secret letter.

Yang Gong unfolded and his face sank.

When Li mubai and others saw this, they were awe inspiring: "what does the letter say?"

Yang Gong said every word:

"the flying beast army raided Songshan County, and Erlang asked for help."

After a pause, his face suddenly turned ugly:

"this is the letter three days ago."

From Songshan county to Qingzhou City, it will take three days to speed up.

......

Songshan county.

The sun was high, but it didn't bring the slightest heat. Xu Erlang stood at the head of the city and grabbed a handful of gravel mixed with the blood and smoke of the defenders.

He did not look around, the city is full of craters, showing broken and mottled, almost no intact.

The soldiers wrapped in linen and fine cloth were scattered in twos and threes, and no one in good condition could be seen.

The one who stayed at the head of the city was the one with the least injuries among the garrison in Songshan county.

Songshan County, the original two thousand garrison, now only 500, others died in the brutal offensive and defensive war.

Three days have passed since the flying beast army raided.

The attack method of the flying beast army is very simple. It is to drop shells and fire oil cans into the city. The flying beast army will deal with the garrison as they deal with the enemy attacking the city.

Simple is simple, but deadly.

On the first day, the garrison directly sacrificed nearly a thousand people. The city was bombed by thousands of shells, and the bricks and stones were burned all over.

At dusk, the enemy retreated.

After such a despairing day, the morale of the defenders broke up and they thought that the city would be broken tomorrow.Xu Erlang sent people to collect bronze mirrors from door to door in the city all night, and called on craftsmen to improve the bed crossbow, which was launched from the air.

On the second day, the flying beast army attacked again, and the copper mirrors all over the city reflected the sunlight, nearly blinding the cavalry and flying beast.

The garrison took the opportunity to shoot down 12 flying beasts and beat back the flying beasts. The result was gratifying and the Garrison's morale was greatly boosted.

After dusk, Xu Erlang can only play a role.

So, after the enemy retreated, he let the garrison taunt Zhuo Haoran at the head of the city, especially insulting the other party's family members. After an hour of taunting, he urged Zhuo Haoran to attack the city, and both sides were defeated again.

Zhuo Haoran was defeated. At dusk, because of the heavy losses of the enemy soldiers, the flying beast army withdrew after a hasty bombing.

At night, Xu Erlang forced the militia, gathered more than 1000 people, ordered Zhu Jun and Miao Youfang to lead the troops to rush to the camp, and finally only escaped back to more than 300 people.

So far, the elite of both sides have almost been lost.

"I have sent people to Qingzhou City for help. Next, it depends on whose reinforcements arrive first."

Xu Erlang whispered.

Miao Youfang didn't smile for three days. With a bow and a low "um", he immediately thought it was wrong, and frowned: "although Zhuo Haoran's army is completely destroyed, there are only a few hundred people left, but the flying beast army is in good condition. If we attack every night, we will still be beaten. I'm afraid it won't last for the arrival of reinforcements... "

he suddenly opened his eyes and seemed to understand something.

Xu Erlang said with a smile: "if our reinforcements come first, then even if Zhuo Haoran conquers Songshan County, he will be forced to leave because of the shortage of manpower. Songshan county is still ours. "

But the garrison here and the people in the city became abandoned children...... "Miao Youfang's lips moved," when it comes to that step, I'll take you out first. "

Xu Erlang said in a low voice:

"what a shame, big brother alone guards Yuyang pass. I can only run with my tail between my legs. "

Miao Youfang frowned and said, "I can't help you. If you don't go, I'll knock you out.".

Then Xu Erlang said with a bitter smile:

"I'm just sighing. I won't make mistakes. Winning or losing is a matter of military affairs. Emperor Gaozu had many battles and many defeats in those years.

"If it's really wrong, there won't be Dafeng now. A man can bend and stretch.

"But I can also understand the heroes in the history books who would rather die than give up, and the soldiers who worked with me stayed here, so I have no face to live."

Just then, a large group of birds appeared in the distant sky.

The birds were fast approaching, followed by the roar of chenxiong, loud and loud.

Miao Youfang and Xu Erlang's face changed greatly. The injured people sitting at the head of the city also noticed the movement of the sky and stood up in horror.

One by one, they looked at the black flying herd, with desperate eyes and pale faces.

"Again, again..."

"there are so many, how can we defend?"

Despair spread among the defenders.

"Mr. Xu, there's another group of flying beasts. Songshan county can't keep it. Let's withdraw."

A centurion came in a hurry.

When he said these words, his eyes were fixed on Xu Erlang. The emotion in his eyes was complex, including begging, despair and hope for survival.

Xu Erlang's eyes were black and his headache was splitting.

Yes, in terms of reinforcements, what kind of arms can move faster than the flying beasts?

Thanks to him, he still wants to compare speed with Yunzhou army. How can he compare speed?

"Bang!"

Xu Erlang smashed his fist against the wall and gritted his teeth:

"if we don't get rid of the flying beast army, Qingzhou will not be able to defend."

He realized that these fast flying beasts were one of the key factors influencing the victory and defeat of the Qingzhou campaign.

Miao Youfang took off the bow on his back, bent the bow and pulled the arrow. He aimed at the flying beast army and said: "take Lord Xu to go first. I'll shoot a few animals first and earn enough money."

Just at this time, the flying beast army has entered his range.

Miao Youfang's pupils contracted and his eyesight enlarged to the extreme, aiming at the flying beast.

He was in a daze, because this group of flying beast army was different from the flying beast army attacked before.

The flying beast of the Yunzhou rebels is a huge red bird covered with clusters of flaming plumes.

The monsters sitting down in the army of flying beasts are covered with black scales, long necked, slender and lizard like. What they fan is not wings, but membranous wings.

In addition, the riders of flying beasts are not soldiers in armour, but a group of people in strange clothes, or even animal skins.

On the back of the first flying beast, there was a man in blue and blue clothes, with dark complexion and curly hair. He was smiling and waving his arms to the people at the end of the city, as if to say hello warmly.Miao Youfang let go of the bowstring.

"What's the matter?"

Xu Erlang's eyesight is not as good as Wu Fu's. seeing this, he frowns and asks.

Miao Youfang replied with confusion:

"these people are a little strange."
