Delong

Cao Shancheng died, and Qinghe was settled.

But at this time, there is still Liaocheng still in front of the mouth, there are still heavy troops gathered in Tangyi, and Wuyang County needs to make a statement, and this march still needs a resounding ending.

The time has come to the last day of March, which is also the last day of this spring. With the large-scale advance of the three-way army and horses of the Dragon Army, which far exceeded everyone's expectations, the heavy troops of Tangyi's army, who had already realized the situation on the battlefield, decisively abandoned After leaving Tangyi, he went south and approached Liaocheng.

This move is not only an attempt to break the siege of Liaocheng and save the two officials who were caught in it, but also to rely on the soldiers and horses who had stayed along the river for defense to ensure the retreat. After all, the imperial army who came in response to the situation in Qinghe this time Although there are many, the core force is still the more than 1 Dongdu elite headed by Qu Tuda, and this army originally came along the river.

Of course, there is also the realistic consideration that Tangyi and the elite of Wandongdu will be surrounded by heavy troops of the rapidly advancing Dragon Gang if they don't leave.

And this action also made the Dragon Army no longer obsessed with the distinction between Tangyi and Liaocheng because of the rapid progress, but immediately sent orders to all cities to gather heavy troops and rush towards Liaocheng.

In the morning, the sentry cavalry of the Delong Army, who paid special attention to the direction of Tangyi in the north, noticed the change. Before noon, countless scout teams including Guo Jingke himself witnessed the court officers and soldiers in the direction of Tangyi desperately going to Liaocheng. Approached, and immediately passed the exact news to the cavalry army of the Dragon Gang who had set up a camp in the west three miles of Liaocheng City and had a little rest at this time.

"3000, 1000 are the elite of the Eastern Capital, and there are more than [-] cavalry. The cavalry should have iron armor, because no leather armor is seen except scouts. Less than [-] people have vests and silk. They should be Most of the luggage was burned, only some dry food and drinking water were taken, and then carried by livestock, the speed was very fast, and it is already twenty miles away, and it should have been increasing since thirty miles away. " Guo Jingke's complexion turned pale, but his tone was steady. "That's not counting. There is also a change in the direction of Wushui. It should be that the thousands of defenders who were placed there before have been summoned. Guanshi, Guantao, and Guixiang really don't have time to look at it. I'm not sure if there are other arrangements."

"Add [-] to [-], and then add [-]. That's [-]. If the soldiers from Xiangguo and Wu'an counties come here, it will be [-]? Another fight?" Cheng Zhili asked in amazement. "Where did Qu Tuda get the guts?!"

"It's just a bluff!" Zhou Xingfan breathed heavily and blurted out, almost yelling. Several cavalry leaders went to watch together.

But Zhou Xingfan was not afraid at all, and boldly said:

"Think about it, if he really dared to fight, why didn't he continue to fight after Ma Lianhe? Instead, he came now? It's just that the two masters in Liaocheng are too important, and there are five thousand soldiers. In the area of ​​Yang County, we had to try to save them, so we concentrated all our troops and put on a desperate attitude, hoping to defeat our newly formed cavalry in a short while, it is best to scare us away! Now, as long as we survive this wave of shock, Qu Tuda will run away with his tail between his legs three times when the reinforcements from the brigade arrive!"

"Well said!" Liu Heimei, who had the most junior qualifications, couldn't help following, but he was almost shouting. "That makes sense." Cheng Zhili also nodded immediately.

But Fan Bao hesitated for a moment, and said seriously: "It is reasonable to say so, but the opponent is aggressive. We only have [-] cavalry and a battalion of scouts. We have scattered hundreds of cavalry on the road and did not gather. The opponent is three times stronger." As for me, I still have enough riding and walking, I still have a city in my hands, and there is no shortage of elites. So, the question is, how do we survive this confrontation?"

"Indeed!" Cheng Zhili, who was originally quite passionate, thought about it, and suddenly became a little uneasy. "Besides, if we guard Dazhai, even if we hold out for a while, wouldn't the people in the city be taken out directly, and then there will be no explanation?"

"How can the cavalry guard the stronghold?" Liu Heimei blushed, disregarding that the other party was a senior leader.

"It's so aggressive that even the infantry can't defend the stronghold." Zhou Xingfan was also not polite. "Leader Cheng, don't forget what happened to the second brother Xue. At this time, guarding the stronghold means retreating, and the cavalry guarding the stronghold is even more retreating. Once retreating, one will rise and the other will rise. Qu Tuda is not a bad general.

The other ministries are also old bases who stayed behind in the Eastern Capital. What should I do if I get a chance to spy on them? "

Zhou Xingfan is not some empty-headed leader. As soon as this remark came out, Liu Heimei immediately got excited and followed up on the spot: "At that time, we, the cavalry battalion who invited us to fight, will become the joke of the whole Hebei!"

"It doesn't matter if it's a joke." Fan Bao let out a long breath. "The loss of the Fifth Battalion is a real injury. The whole situation in Hebei will be greatly reduced."

"That's what I mean." Cheng Zhili immediately spoke seriously, with an air no less than that of Zhou and Liu. "No matter what, whether it's walking, fighting, guarding the stronghold, public or private, we must keep the foundation of the five battalions of cavalry, and then we can say that we are all leaders and should know everything else. How precious are these seven thousand rides!
Besides, Chief Cheng looks majestic, but he is actually uneasy inside.

But this uneasiness is not simply uneasy about possible situations, but multi-faceted - he is a delicate person, and has a clear judgment on many things, whether he thinks too much or speaks thoughtfully , In short, I have some thoughts about myself and my surroundings.

First of all, he didn't know if other people would read the "Six Secret Teachings" that was handed out. Anyway, he read it, so now he is very clear in his heart that the three people, Guo Jingke, Zhou Xingfan, and Liu Heimei, are actually "Six Secret Teachings". The kind of dead soldiers mentioned in the article "Selecting Soldiers" in "Tao" are at least half dead soldiers.

For example, Guo Jingke, half a typical death fighter, the so-called person who once stumbled and wanted to make meritorious deeds to regain his position, may not be desperate on the battlefield, but he will definitely be determined; Zhou Xingfan is a typical death and anger person. , Desperately wanting revenge, as long as he can fight the soldiers of the court, he is happy; and Liu Heimei is half a man who is mortal and half a man who is dull. The so-called poverty and anger are used to being poor and downcast. , and nothing to lose, finally got the opportunity, must have a good time, regardless of life and death. Even if he has a future, he is eager to use meritorious service to cover up his abject and ridiculous first half of his life.

These three dead men must insist on fighting, no one can persuade them, and it is not something that a big leader can stop.

Fan Bao, on the other hand, has obviously left this stage. As a descendant, he has a family business, but he is stable, and he is a fellow villager, so he can rely on him.

At the same time, Cheng Zhili himself was a little tangled.

He knew very well in his heart that he had an excessive fear of the annihilation of the entire army and the loss of military power. Once he was bitten by a snake for ten years, he was afraid of well ropes. After the eight hundred cavalrymen with the same foundation as his family died, he was particularly sensitive to such matters.

But the lesson of that incident is not only the loss of family foundation, but also the frustration of not being able to see the situation clearly, not being able to recognize the real hero, and not knowing the severity of oneself.

So at this time, he was afraid that he would lose his money if the cavalry was exhausted again, and he was also afraid that he would lose Liaocheng because of his conservativeness, or that his radicalism would wipe out the entire army, which would cause him to be devastated.

Turning his mind around, he looked at Shan Tonghai, the righteous general in this attack and one of the three oldest leaders of the Dragon Clan, and his heart sank.

Of course this one has something to say.

"What's there to say? Don't fight because you're afraid of losing the battle?" Shan Tonghai patiently listened to the five leaders in front of him, and immediately raised his eyebrows. "Besides, we have five battalions, seven thousand riders and three condensed pills. Where can we go?! Since he comes to fight, let's fight with him!"

The few people around were speechless.

But Shan Tonghai saw that there was no one to refute, and immediately issued a specific military order: "Xiao Guo, you go and arrange your scout camp, and the information from all parties must be transmitted in time! Let the leader Lu on the river pay attention to the situation, if the officers and soldiers dare to attack He can also abandon the boat and make a move. That’s what I want him to come! The rest of the army will follow me, and then abandon the camp and go out. Three thousand armored cavalry are in the middle, and four thousand light cavalry are divided into two wings to meet them face to face! As long as our cavalry Still going outside, those two elders in the city dare not move at all!"

really!

Cheng Zhili screamed in his heart, but didn't say anything more. In the whole small group, his objection was meaningless.

In the afternoon, the sunshine on the last day of late spring was already very dazzling. In the slight southerly wind, among the green fields all over the ground, countless troops were struggling to move forward.

As imagined, both the imperial court and the army of the Dragon Gang were mainly of peasant origin. They instinctively avoided the croplands and marched from the official roads and the fields.But it has to be admitted that with the development of the war, the focus is gradually focused on time, and the need for marching is becoming more and more urgent. This kind of instinctive maintenance of military discipline is gradually released.

In fact, when the officers and soldiers marched about [-] miles away from Liaocheng, the scouts from both sides had already chased and killed each other recklessly in the field just to the knees of the horses' legs.And when they were fifteen miles away from Liaocheng, as the troops were dressed up, the formation of the forward three thousand cavalry also took advantage of the trend, and they lined up in the field without any scruples.

Among them, about [-] to [-] cavalry in black armor with horse hoods and silk hoods, even took the lead, faintly unstoppable.

The cavalry of the Dethrone Dragon Army also did not hesitate at all. After finishing their formation on the official road between the camp and the city, they headed north and gradually formed a formation several miles wide. Like a giant bird.

"Yuanfu Lord, do you think you can win?"

On the head of the tall Liaocheng City, Lu Daobin, the ambassador of the Yecheng palace, who was dressed in commoner clothes and looked like an ordinary official, held the hand of Yuan Baocun, the prefect of Wuyang beside him, and asked profusely.

"I don't know." Yuan Baocun smiled wryly. "It stands to reason that General Qu Tu's entire army came, so there is no reason not to win, but the reinforcements from the Chulong Gang arrived as soon as they said it, and even if they won for a while, they didn't win. Moreover, judging by the cavalry posture of the Chulong Army, can I even win for a while?" I don’t know if I won.”

Lu Daobin let go, feeling more and more at a loss.

And at this time, a man suddenly went up to the tower and shouted from a distance: "Duke Lu, Duke Yuan, please send troops with me, let me organize the army immediately, and attack the bandit barracks immediately, so that he can't look at each other from head to tail."

The two turned their heads and saw that it was Li Qingchen, the deputy envoy of Yecheng Palace who had already dressed properly. They were not surprised, because the night before yesterday, when the cavalry of the Dragon Army had just arrived, Li Qingchen took the initiative to invite a thousand soldiers to harass them at night, but they were defeated. And Gui San Ningdan even turned around and killed the top of the city, causing the city to almost collapse on the spot, and scared the two of them so much that they hid in the houses.

For this reason, Li Qingchen challenged to fight again yesterday, but the two joined forces and rejected it.

As a result, at night, this guy took hundreds of people out to burn the camp without authorization. Although no more troubles were caused, it was just a small fight, and half of the camp was not burned.

But now, it would be strange if he didn't come to ask for a fight.

However, this time Lu Daobin suppressed his uneasiness and did not deny it directly, but responded seriously: "Vice Envoy Li, how many soldiers do you want this time?"

"Three thousand." Li Qingchen blurted out.

Lu Daobin was helpless: "The combined forces of the two families here in Liaocheng only had [-] weak troops. The small camp outside the city was caught off guard and lost a game, and you lost another game or two. It is estimated that there are only [-] soldiers in the city, and you need [-] more." , how to defend the city?"

"That two thousand." Li Twelve seemed to have no bottom line. "Two thousand is fine." Lu Daobin remained silent, only turning his head to look at Yuan Baocun.

"Li Twelve Lang, you have lost several games in a row, but you still want to fight, what do you say?" Yuan Baocun also asked seriously. "Look, almost all the cavalry of the Dethroned Dragon Army have been sent out, and there is only one empty stronghold. What's the use of taking it or not?"

"There is an explanation." Li Qingchen approached and replied seriously. "According to the Art of War, the best way to deal with the cavalry coming from afar is to keep harassing and exhausting the Yuanfu Lord. Think about it, do these cavalry of the Dethroned Dragon Army really have no weaknesses? They came from afar, the biggest problem It’s just tiring, it may not be obvious at first, but if you can seize every opportunity to keep harassing them, they will expose this problem sooner or later, so you must keep harassing. I’m going down now and taking their camp, even if they are Turning around and holding on to another big defeat, and then going back to collide with General Qu Tu, is it possible to make them exhausted earlier? Will it work by then? Not to mention, it may be able to shake them directly !"

Lu Daobin was silent for a moment, then he had to look at Yuan Baocun.

Yuan Bao Cun Tong
Twirling his beard, he thought for a moment and then asked, "Li Twelve Lang, where did you learn the art of war?"

"Six Secret Teachings." Li Qingchen paused for a moment, speaking frankly. "The basic art of war compiled by Zhang Xing and a few people in the Dragon Clan is very practical. There are those who choose generals, soldiers, fight and march, and the ranks of leaders, but some people don't read it at all and throw it at home. Some people were illiterate, so they only asked someone to read it to him, and I bribed someone to copy it to the leader who didn’t read it, and I also bribed the person who taught the book, and compared it to make a copy.”

Below the city, the cavalry of the Dethrone Dragon Army had already rumbled northward, while above the city, there was a moment of silence.

Yuan Baocun hesitated for a moment, a little moved.

Don't look at him and the Dragon Gang who have flirted with each other for a long time, but in troubled times, a senior political figure who has been in charge of a large county for several years is a natural princely seedling, so he thinks more.

To put it bluntly, seeing Qu Tuda deploying defenses around Liyangcang, he knew that Wuyang County was going to fend for itself, so at this time, it would be no problem to follow the current situation and choose to surrender to the current strong and powerful Dragon Gang.But, didn't you vote for the Dethrone Dragon Gang?I don't expect to really win the Dethrone Dragon Gang, but try to weaken the opponent, have more right to speak, and look less at people's faces, so what?
Do you really think that you are willing to lower your eyebrows and be pleasing to one of your retainers back then?

Therefore, let Li Qingchen try it, it really worked, and let Qu Tuda win, there are enough benefits.

However, it is also necessary to consider the possibility that stealing chickens will not result in loss of rice, and that this move will anger the rest of the coming Longjun who are still in Liaocheng.

Seven thousand cavalry were out, and they dared not leave at all.

"Why don't I make a divination?" Lu Daobin said suddenly.

Yuan Baocun didn't say a word. Although Li Qingchen frowned, he didn't stop him. He had made up his mind anyway. As for these two, he would show their hesitation. Wouldn't it be better to put it in a good way?

Lu Daobin saw that there was no objection, so he took out a few shiny wooden sticks from his pocket, and said seriously: "This is when I was young, I went to Dongyi to play, and I met in front of Dongyi Qingdi Zongguan, and I was accepted." It was given by the former divination priest, and it has been effective for decades. Li Shierang, come here, face the south, look at the sun, and just throw it on the ground."

Li Twelve Lang will go forward.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Baocun, who had doubts in his heart, suddenly stepped forward: "Let me come! This place belongs to Wuyang, I am the Lord of Wuyang County, and I am also the nominal coach of this time. I will throw it!"

Both Li Qingzhou and Lu Daobin were speechless.

Yuan Baocun didn't hesitate either, and according to the instructions, he turned his body to face the south, turned his head to look at the sun which was already obviously to the west, and threw a few wooden sticks in his hand directly on the bricks of the city wall under his feet.

Immediately, Lu Daobin went forward to look at it, and then turned back to look at the sun, and said on the spot: "The hexagram is clear, and the fifth time, it is suitable for adults to pull the car into the deep valley."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Baocun asked in surprise.

"Pull the car into the deep valley, and you have enough strength." Lu Daobin bent down and picked up a few wooden sticks, explaining earnestly. "This shows that this battle is about strength, not cunning, and then the strong wins, the big wins, the fast wins, the energetic wins, the crowd wins, the virtuous wins, and the high-ranking wins! There is no surprise! Can say!"

Yuan Baocun nodded, and then suddenly sneered: "Ambassador Lu, I believe your hexagrams, and they have some meaning, but with all due respect, your hexagrams are as they are."

Lu Daobin shook his head: "It's okay, I'll feel relieved anyway. The rest depends on the result!"

Yuan Baocun nodded again, and then looked at Li Qingchen who was obviously impatient: "Li Twelve Lang, I will give you 500 people and wait for the bandit cavalry to go a little further before going down!"

Li Qingchen was slightly surprised, but there was no reason not to bow his hands and say yes: "Okay! If you want me to say, this battle is because our army is strong, and Yuan Gong is the most respected."

Succeeding in the battle, he even had the mood to compliment the opponent.Yuan Baocun just nodded indiscriminately.

In this way, half an hour later, the forwards of the two sides were about seven or eight miles north of Liaocheng to meet them.

Seeing each other face to face, they who had already received the military order had no extra words or actions, but each speeded up, and went straight to the field to charge and fight in groups.

As long as there is no true qi formation, the armored cavalry charge is still the most tyrannical means of military expression at this time, and it is not uncommon for a poor true qi formation to be overwhelmed by a skilled armored cavalry formation.

Moreover, unlike the Zhen Qi army formation that needs to consume the stock of Zhen Qi, a simple armored cavalry charge can often use the speed of the horse, the length of the weapon, the stability and accuracy of the horsemanship to instantly determine the victory or defeat and life or death.It is also often the case for the masters of strange scriptures who can release their true energy means, and their deaths are often more rapid and tragic.

The so-called heroes and fierce generals singled out dozens of rounds to get a result are more of what happened between the masters above the condensed core.

Therefore, in this round of collision, dozens of riders fell off their horses on the spot, and soon, more casualties also appeared, because the two armies began to contact on a large scale, and the back and forth fighting began.

It can be said that in just a moment, the so-called victory and defeat situation on the field can be clearly distinguished-it is actually a temporary tie.

The equipment, rigor of formation, and equestrian skills of the officers and soldiers from the Eastern Capital are all obviously superior. If there are no other factors, then under a rush, the newly formed army will undoubtedly be defeated, and it should be defeated in an instant .However, there are two cavalry masters in the armored cavalry of the Dragon Army, and Fan Bao on the left flank also quickly joined the battle. The three generals who made alchemy formed three local battlefield advantages in an instant, far from having only one black armored cavalry The leader's official army is comparable.

The cavalry general of the officer army who was riding a strange spotted horse without a hood and holding a Qin flag quickly observed the situation, and then immediately realized the problem, but without hesitation, he rushed to the side that was slightly closer to him." Cheng" flag.

As the two sides approached, Cheng Zhili naturally knew what he was going to say, so he asked on the spot: "Is this Qin Bao, a native of Benzhou? Why is he still working for the court? In the current situation, why don't you come early and be an arm with your third brother Zhang?"

Qin Bao didn't say a word, he used Dinglei's true energy to fight face to face, Cheng Zhili didn't say much when he saw this, and Duanjiang's true energy was used to fight the opponent personally.

Both sides are Ningdan, each has excellent equestrian skills, and is an old friend of Dengzhou, so logically speaking, there should be a lot of back and forth.

But in fact, Cheng Zhili's arms felt numb for no reason, and he gradually lost the wind, and then immediately realized that the opponent's true energy was small, so it might be useful, and his own martial arts strength was indeed not as good.However, he was not afraid, because the war horse under his crotch was a majestic dragon found when he broke Zhang Jincheng that day, donated to Zhang Xing, and was sent back. According to what he meant, why not feign defeat and lure the opponent out of the center of the chaotic cavalry battle, and go to the edge to make a statement outside with the horse under his crotch?

However, as soon as Cheng Zhili feigned defeat and urged the dragon horse under his crotch to go east, the strange horse under Qin Bao's crotch also neighed, speeding up and galloping like flying, and actually passed him and stopped his leader Cheng. In the array.

Cheng Zhili knew that the opponent's mount was better, so he was terrified, so he hurriedly responded with extreme caution, and at the same time made preparations for jumping and fleeing.

But Qin Bao was relentless when he gained power, and he waved the big iron spear in his hand like a wheel, Ding Lei's true energy caused lightning to overflow, quickly suppressed the opponent, and did not give the opponent a chance to jump and flee, the outcome will soon be decided .

At this time, even the old Taoist Ru Cheng Zhili couldn't help panicking at this time, he just felt that today he would not repeat the same mistakes, but his life would be in danger.

However, at this moment, Yiqi suddenly came from a distance, and after dozens of steps, the flying horse shouted: "Qin Er! You have the face to fight?!"

As soon as the words fell, he was also full of energy and joined the battle group.

Qin Bao could see clearly that the person who came was his old friend Zhou Xingfan. He knew that there was trouble in Zhou Xingfan's family, and that the other party was young. He always thought that the other party was a little brother. Just look for an opportunity to take care of the opponent's mount, and then deal with Cheng Zhili.

But after Zhou Xingfan arrived, he somewhat shared Cheng Zhili's pressure, and the latter regained his energy, but tried his best to fight again.

That's not to mention, seeing three flags rolled together in the distance, alarmed the other generals in the formation early on, and after a while, Yiqi also rushed out from the slanting stab, impressively

Single access to the sea.

On the officer's side, although Qin Bao was the only one of the cavalry in the front, there were two of them in the rear, but they did not come to help in time.

Since Shan Tonghai came to fight one of the two Congealing Pills, his momentum reversed immediately, but Qin Bao was still unafraid, he swung his iron spear horizontally, as calmly as if he was waving some wooden pole, and his defense was tight.

Shan Tonghai fought vigorously, with close moves, and fought hard, but Cheng Zhili was careful, found an opportunity in the battle, and yelled at Zhou Xingfan: "If the leader of Zhou wants to win, don't get involved! Go and call General Fan to help, You and Liu Heimei took the opportunity to charge and kill his soldiers!"

Zhou Xingfan Xingwu applauded the horse and left.

Sure enough, after a while, Fan Bao, who got the news, leaped over, picked up a war horse at random, and picked up a long spear, but it was three congealing pills, three long spears, and three Duanjiang Zhenqi who attacked Qin Bao alone. .

At this time, the four horses gathered together, and the three horses around the periphery were fighting like a turning light. Qin Baoju couldn't move at all in the middle, he could only support it with all his strength, and was gradually overwhelmed, but he finally realized why Xiong Bonan To say that I have underestimated these realms of practice.

The three Congealing Pills teamed up are comparable to Cheng Dan, but he still can't do it.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly swung the iron gun with one hand, swung it around, and touched the neck of the spotted leopard beast under his crotch with the other hand. After receiving the signal, he received his zhenqi, neighed, stepped on the zhenqi on the ground, leaped two or three feet, and flew out of the circle surrounded by three people.The three of them were shocked at the same time, knowing that the opponent's mount was a top-notch dragon colt, and they had vaguely understood the method of jumping with zhenqi, but they immediately became furious and rushed to catch up again.

The surrounding guards also gathered into a group and followed behind to fight the battle.

Qin Bao was really defeated, so he could only flee quickly with his horsepower, he couldn't care less about the cavalry front, and actually watched the opponent take the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

But at this time, the chief general of the army, Qu Tuda, a master of alchemy, is still in the central army, and the other two masters of alchemy are only supervising the advance in the rear, and it seems that they don't know the situation here at all. .

And at this moment, when the armored cavalry of the official army obviously retreated because the center was broken through and the two wings were wrapped by Qingqi, suddenly, there was obviously a fire on the west side of Liaocheng in the south.

The wind blows from the south, and the smell of smoke can be heard several miles away. Everyone turned their heads in surprise, knowing that the camp was attacked, and each was uneasy.

"Leave him alone!" Shan Tonghai yelled angrily on the horse. "Reinforcements will arrive tonight, but we are still cavalry, so why do we care about camps?"Just fight recklessly! "

However, among all the armies, there are those who hear this statement, some who do not hear it, some who agree, some who are instinctively uneasy, some who want to continue advancing with red eyes, and some who are afraid of severe casualties in a short period of time, but Reactions were mixed.

In just a quarter of an hour or so, the cavalry of the Dethroned Dragon Army was obviously out of touch, and the cavalry of the official army actually regained the upper hand.That's not to mention, as time went by, at this time, the infantry of the army and the army finally gradually arrived from the rear, and the cavalry was mixed to enrich the army formation. Although the cavalry on one's side lost part of their mobility, they were extremely stable. up the front.

In addition to being able to maintain a breakthrough at the three condensed core leaders, the dethroned dragon army cavalry was pushed back almost across the board. One of the two condensed core generals in the official army also began to appear on the front line from time to time.In this regard, the three leaders could only keep turning their heads to clean up the situation in order to ensure that their army would not be besieged.

But Qin Bao also learned how to be clever, and from time to time he cooperated with the alchemy expert to turn around and fight out. He was also a powerful one, forcing the three of them to bend down again to suppress them.

Repeatedly like this, the front line began to approach the south across the board.

In the afternoon, the sun was much more westward. At the north gate of Liaocheng, Yuan Baocun and Lu Daobin climbed up to watch. Although they couldn't see the specific situation, they were all people with cultivation base. , or no problem.

I can't help but be overjoyed.

"The hexagram is accurate." Lu Daobin couldn't wait to speak. "The hexagram is accurate, there are no accidents, the strong wins, the big wins, the fast wins, the virtuous wins, the high-ranking wins, the energetic wins, and the crowd wins!"

Yuan Baocun also let out a long breath
Furious, he nodded again and again.

At this moment, a subordinate suddenly galloped to the foot of the city, and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty Yuan, Ambassador Lu, Deputy Envoy Li have something to say, this is a good opportunity, go out of the city quickly, go out from the south, and then go to the city. Go west, leaving only a thousand men to defend the city."

After finishing speaking, he galloped away again.

Yuan and Lu looked at each other, each hesitating.

After a while, Lu Daobin still shook his head nonchalantly: "The battle line is pushed so fast, it is enough to push to the city before sunset, and then calmly leave the city to gather and leave, why bother at this time?"

"That's right, if you startle the bandit army and gather the cavalry to surround them, wouldn't you be throwing yourself into a trap?" Yuan Baocun also expressed his agreement.

The two ignored it.

However, as the two of them guessed, facing the advance of the main force of the official army, although the cavalry of the Dethrone Dragon Army who had lost their vigor could still maintain their formation and group, they could not stop the opponent's advance at all.Just stay as late as possible.

And about an hour and a half after the battle, the most helpless thing finally happened. Because of Qin Bao's strong bite, the cavalry of the dethroning dragon army were still unable to retake the camp. Time, finally can no longer retreat.

At this time, Li Qingchen did not hesitate to lead the crowd out from the camp, which aroused the echo of the opposing army. Qin Bao jumped out and led the army to launch an assault on cavalry wearing silk armor. Not blocked.

As the commander-in-chief, Qu Tuda led dozens of guards, Yan Qi hid behind Qin Bao, and suddenly rushed out. For a while, Shan Tonghai was caught off guard and stabbed to the shoulder, and was killed by Qin Bao's mount at the same time. , fell out on the spot in embarrassment.

Fortunately, the other two generals abandoned their horses to save the others, leaped away, and the personal guards tried their best to stop them, so they escaped.

So far, the cavalry just formed by the Dragon Army was killed by the army before the city, and lost the camp that controlled the west road of Liaocheng.

Our army was also divided, with the main force in the east and Liu Heijuji in the west.From a tactical point of view, it was a complete blocking failure.

However, this seems to be something that was "expected" from the beginning.

How do you say that, as long as you survive this wave of shocks, you can wait for reinforcements.

"Let you two get out of the city quickly!" Qu Tuda rushed to the captured camp, smelling that the two people in the city hadn't come out yet, his seven orifices were filled with smoke. "Don't worry about the cavalry of the Dragon Army who are still wandering outside. The scouts in the east have had problems since just now. If they don't come out, they might not be able to come out again. Qin Bao, you and Li Twelve Lang will lead the armored cavalry to pick them up! After that, let's tidy up in this stronghold for a while, and then withdraw all the troops!"

Qin Bao and Li Qingchen were also helpless when they had lost their words, but they got on their horses again and led the elite cavalry to the city to search for them.

When he came to the west of the city, he couldn't find anyone, so he was so angry that he could only go to the north of the city. After all, it was the best place to observe the battlefield.

As a result, when they came to the north of the city, they learned from the city that the two officials had gone east.

The two of them screamed in their hearts that it was not good, and they went east again. From a distance, they saw a group of people standing on a tower in the northeast corner of the city, and in the northeast of the city, the cavalry of the Dethroned Dragon Army were trying to regroup in the field. He took a long breath, thinking that the two of them came to see for this reason.

As a result, as soon as they came under the turret, the view of the east of the city suddenly opened up, and the two of them stood there dumbfounded.

It turned out that there was a lot of smoke and dust on the main official roads in the east of Chunliao City, and there were obviously large troops flooding them, while the surrounding Tianlong was densely packed, like a thread, and they were all troops holding various flags.

There is no doubt that these are all reinforcements from the Dragon Gang.

And it is conceivable that to the northeast, the view should also be blocked by the cavalry of the Deposed Dragon Army, and it can't be seen for a while.

"Lu Gong! Yuan Gong! Don't look at it, let's go!" Li Qingchen came to his senses and shouted towards the turret above the city. "This is the last chance!"

It was only a hundred steps away, and Li Twelve, who was actually not weak, could even see Yuan Baocun and Lu Daobin glance at him, and then turned his head away as if his lips trembled or something.Li Twelve was stunned.

The next moment, beside Yuan Baocun and Lu Daobin, suddenly there was a
A man in a white short cloak sneered as he stepped on the wall, and the sound shook the whole field: "Xu Shiren, the leader of the Dragon Clan, is here. Zhang Longtou has an order, but when he sees Qin Bao, a bandit soldier riding a spotted horse, Take an arrow with him first! To show that the enemy is not at odds with us!"

Before he finished speaking, an arrow like an iron spear, wrapped in Duanjiang's true energy, flew down from the city and came straight towards Qin Bao.

Qin Bao turned pale with shock, and quickly used his true energy to jump back. The spotted leopard beast under his crotch also neighed. Normally, several riders around exploded on the spot, including Li Qingchen, all of them couldn't control their mounts and fell in all directions.

Knowing that this person's cultivation level is by no means invincible to him, Qin Bao didn't dare to stay any longer, but stepped forward and dragged Li Qingchen out, turned on the spotted leopard beast that turned around, and with enough energy, he led the crowd to swing from side to side and head west escape.

Behind him, on the upper floor in the northeast corner of the city, Lu Daobin, the ambassador of the Yecheng Palace, couldn't help but shook his head: "The hexagram is still accurate, there is no accident, the strong wins, the big wins, the fastest wins, and the crowd wins!"

Yuan Baocun held his hands and said nothing, but looked at the countless reinforcements from the Dragon Army to the west under the already-sunset light. They were walking in the late spring and the setting sun, just reflected on the fields, looking radiant.
