Chapter 550 Under the Reversal of the Situation

Nanxiang County.

The bloody smell on the city wall is still spreading. The corpses are carried down one by one, and the bewitching blood begins to be washed, but all the places that appear are dimples and pits. During the war, the city wall was hit by a trebuchet. It is already a thousand warehouses and a hundred holes.

"All Nanyang soldiers and horses have withdrawn to Shunyang City?"

In the lobby of Minghou Mansion, Hu Zhao and others gathered together. They were too late to be happy about this sudden change. They were more concerned with discussing the enemy's intentions. Hu Zhao stared at Zhou Cang: "Can the scout be sure?"

"It's been confirmed!"

Zhou Cang cupped his hands, and reported in a deep voice: "I released several groups of scouts, and witnessed that the Nanyang Army retreated to Shunyang without leaving any trace on the battlefield. It seems that they intend to withdraw their troops and leave!"

"The Nanyang army has finally pushed us to this point. Almost the whole city is in danger. Lei Bo, the captain of Nanyang, is quite famous in battle. He can't just give up such an opportunity like this!"

Liu Jin said firmly: "There must be something wrong with this matter!"

"My lord, Zhu Chou, envoy of Nanyang Banner of Jingwu Division, please see me!"

"pass!"

"Yes!" A guard led away, and soon Jing Wusi's Nanyang banner envoy walked in with them.

"The last general, Zhu Chou, pay homage to all the lords!"

"Get up and talk!"

"promise!"

"Chongyi, do you know about the withdrawal of the Nanyang Army?"

"The last general came here to report this matter!"

Zhu Chou cupped his hands and said: "Report to Master Changshi that the Nanyang Army's withdrawal is true. The reason is that Captain Lei Hu of the Pioneer Battalion of the Violent Bear Army led the army out of the mountain and attacked the champion by surprise a few days ago. City, take back the champion county and cut off their food supply!"

"I see!"

When everyone heard the words, they suddenly realized.

"I said that kid Lei Hu would never die so easily, he really gave me an accident!" Zhou Cang laughed loudly.

The Violent Bear Army lost more than half of its strength in the first battle in Guanzhong, and there were countless casualties. Only the generals above the school lieutenant survived. Only Zhou Cang, Lei Hu, Li Yan, and Li Yan were seconded. Zhou Cang Leihu.

Zhou Cang was very worried when Lei Hu fell into the deep mountains and wild forests, but he couldn't allocate any troops to respond, so he could only resign himself to fate. Now that he heard the news, he was overjoyed.

"That boy Leihu fought well. If their troops were trapped in the main battlefield, they might not be able to play a role. But if they won the championship and cut off their food supply, it would be different. This is forcing them to retreat!"

Hu Zhao's eyes lit up all of a sudden, but he soon had some intentions: "But he won the championship, which is equivalent to intercepting the Nanyang Army's retreat. When the Nanyang Army returns to the division, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist!"

"Hu Changshi, there is another piece of news!"

Zhu Chou said suddenly: "General Huang Zhong has led the Baibo army back to Nanyang!"

"Huang Zhong is back?"

"Huang Hansheng led the army back in person?"

"Great!"

"This battle is worry-free!"

This sentence made everyone completely calm down their uneasy mood.

"You didn't tell me this news earlier!" Liu Jin gave him a sideways glance and said coldly.

"The subordinate knows it's wrong!"

Zhu Chou accepted the crime helplessly.

During this battle, Jing Wusi had neglected a lot of duties. At this time, he did not dare to offend these bosses. These people could make Jing Wusi shake by stomping their feet.

"Where is the Baibo army now?" Hu Zhao asked.

"Jingwu Division has passed the news to them that Leihu has attacked the champion. General Huang Zhong has decided to divide the troops into two groups, and the troops are going south along the waterway. They are now collecting ships along the waterway and preparing to block all the waterways around Shunyang. !"

"The other army, led by General Huang Zhong himself, rushed to Li County!"

Zhu Chou said carefully.

Jing Wusi still has a good hand in conveying news, but before Nanxiang was the main battlefield, there were scenes of scouts strangling all around, and their news could not be gathered together, but now the news is gathered and conveyed quickly.

"Shuidao, Li County?"

Hu Zhao suddenly took out the topographic map of the surrounding terrain and began to look at it: "Huang Hansheng is going to cut off their way back east!"

"what?"

"Break their way back east?"

"Do you want to surround and kill them!"

Everyone's eyes were vivid, and they had suffered a lot of grievances during this period. At this moment, they all wanted to vent, so they were ready to move.

"I made a rough count. During this battle, the Nanyang Army lost more than [-] soldiers on our Nanxiang battlefield, but in terms of their strength, they still have nearly [-] soldiers!" Liu Jin said: "If only the Baibo Army , not enough to siege them, if they are in a hurry, they will definitely go shopping, and it is not difficult to break through the championship, even if Lei Hu tries his best to stop them, he may not be able to stop them!"

He considered it for a while, and then said quietly: "Will General Huang Zhong be too confident?"

"No!"

Hu Zhao shook his head, clenched his fists, and said, "I think this is very good!"

"Very good?"

Liu Jin was puzzled.

"Trapping them doesn't necessarily mean besieging them!"

Hu Zhao said in a deep voice: "Now, the handover between us has been reversed, and the situation is not as good as before. Therefore, it is time for peace talks!"

"Peace talks?" Liu Jin is also a smart person, his eyes widened, and he looked at Hu Zhao: "You want to use them as bargaining chips?"

"Correct!"

Hu Zhao took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Cang!"

"exist!"

"How are the soldiers recovering?"

"The soldiers have gone through hard battles, and now they are all exhausted. It is okay to defend the city, but it may be difficult to attack, but as long as Lord Chang Shi orders, the Violent Bear Army will be able to fight again!" Zhou Cang said.

"I don't need you to attack forcefully, but you must attack. You immediately gather the soldiers who can be integrated, gather the Baibo army on the waterway, and approach Shunyang!"

Hu Zhao said: "Suppress them firmly!"

"understand!"

Zhou Cang took the order and left.

…………

……

Shunyang City.

"How can we leave the battlefield in the west of Nanyang smoothly?" Lei Bo stared at the topographic map of the march, with a pensive expression. There are not many roads in the west of Nanyang, and the mountain roads are rugged. They pulled out and the roads weren't really many.

The best way is naturally to turn back the same way.

From Wancheng to Nanxiang, taking the champion is the official road. This road was opened up in the Spring and Autumn Period and expanded in the Qin Dynasty. It has been the main road connecting the east and west of Nanyang for hundreds of years.

But now that the champion county is occupied by the Mujun, it means that the throat has been pinched.

If it goes through smoothly, then of course there is no problem.

but……

Once an accident occurs and they cannot get through the champion county, they will be stuck in the middle of the road. At that time, it will be difficult to advance and retreat. Coupled with the siege of chasing troops behind them, tens of thousands of their soldiers may fall into a desperate situation.

In addition to the championship-oriented drive, there are two other roads that can leave the west of Nanyang.

The first one is to go to Li County in the northeast direction. Li County was also stationed at the beginning to support soldiers and horses. After the support, it is not difficult to leave the west of Nanyang.

Another is the waterway.

Nanyang waterways are criss-crossed, connecting Hanzhong River, Guanzhong Waterway, and Yuzhou Waterway, leading directly to Jingzhou, which is much more convenient than going by land, extending in all directions.

"Master Captain, I think we have to get through the champion no matter what. We turned back the same way. With the strength of the current army, it is not difficult to break through the checks and balances of the champion county. Once we meet the food team from Wancheng, You can also counterattack the pursuers!"

Chen Lan suggested.

"Lieutenant Lei, a certain person thinks that safety is the top priority, we can go north, go to Li County, and leave the west of Nanyang!"

Ji Yu retorted.

At this time, he had no intention of fighting any more, and what he thought year after year was how to leave Nanyang. After all, tens of thousands of reinforcements lost a third, and how to explain to his cousin Ji Ling would be a problem. If the lord Yuan Shu Blaming it down is even more inevitable.

Therefore, the current him only wants to preserve enough strength to protect himself before he is judged guilty in the future.

Lei Bo pondered for a while, and considered the plan proposed by the two in his mind. He is not afraid of winning the championship. There are definitely not many champion defenders, but he needs to consider the reinforcements behind. It is the enemy.

He didn't want to lose any more troops in this battle, so he thought about it and gave up.

"Let's go north to Li County!"

Lei Bo ordered, saying: "Ji Yu, you are the vanguard in this battle. You lead your troops first and go north to open the way. After we break the rear, quickly follow up!"

"promise!"

Ji Yu is shrewd. He took the task directly. There should be no interception in the north. After passing through Li County, that is the eastern part of Nanyang. The main force of the Mu army is the champion of Nanxiang. It is not dangerous to come, so it is better to open the way than to stop. a little.
