Chapter 342

After resting in the middle of the night, the physical strength and morale of Xuzhou soldiers and horses have reached the best. Yesterday, they wiped out nearly [-] Liaodong elites and [-] cavalry.

In the big camp, Zhou Cang was dispatching troops and generals: "Guan Hai listens to the order, ordering you to be the front and open the way for the army."

"Pei Yuanshao listened to the order, ordering you to lead the Pioneer Battalion and the Pozhu Battalion to follow Guan Hai, and arrive at the south gate of Xiangping before nightfall to set up a big camp. I will lead the Cracking Earth Battalion and arrive soon."

"Cao Xing listened to the order and told you to take the heavy troops back to Lushunkou, gather food and supplies and go north to meet me." The army only had two days of food and grass, and it was necessary to urgently collect from Lushun.

"Bocai listened to the order to lead you to break through the bamboo battalion to reorganize and surrender the army on the spot. After Cao Xing returns, we will go to Xiangping together. If there are escapers or rebels, they will be killed!" Zhou Cang didn't mind being cruel to those who disobeyed, Only ruthless means can make the people of Liaodong surrender.

"Yes!"

All the generals led the army to disperse.Bo Cai has completely restored his original name to Bo Cai, and the shogi has also been replaced with the word "Bo". Bo Cai and Guan Hai have long been known but have never met. So the two are closer than the other.

Yang Yi was counting the loot in the city at this time. So much grain, vehicles, flags, tents, and cooking utensils were very fruitful for the poor Liaodong. Gongsun Du also sent his two sons: Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Yuan to join in the inventory Team, two people are smiling.

If Zhou Cang saw the appearance of the two of them, he would definitely think: I have never seen the world, I really think I am a milkman~ Yang Yi is most interested in the catapult. He called dozens of craftsmen to study and find a way to restore it. .In addition, he has not forgotten to send scouts to inquire about Liu Yi's news.

In the early morning, Tan Ma returned to the city with the first group of defeated soldiers, namely Xu Qian's cavalry. "What? An ambush?!"

"General Xu Qian led us to outflank Xuzhou's retreating army. When we met the opponent's interception, General Xu Qian died in battle."

Yang Yi was taken aback, how could this happen?It shouldn't be at all.Hearing what the Liaodong cavalryman said, Guan Hai's menacing appearance appeared in Yang Yi's mind again, and he couldn't help but gasp. "What about General Liu Yi?"

"We don't know about this. General Liu Yi sent me to send troops to reinforce it as soon as possible."

reinforce?Yang Yi smiled bitterly that there were only 5000 people in the city, where would the reinforcements come from, and who would send reinforcements to defend the city.Liaodong has a total of 5000 soldiers and horses, including 8000 sailors, 5000 troops in Xuantu and Lelang counties each, and 7000 troops in Xiangping, including [-] cavalry.Liu Yi took [-] infantry and [-] cavalry to pursue them, and now he needs to send reinforcements to the city?

"You guys go down and rest. Go a few more roads to explore the horses, and make sure to find out the news."

Another hour passed, and the second group of deserters came back, these were the first retreated infantry.

"We were ambushed by the Xuzhou army. They ambushed a large number of archers. Our army suffered heavy losses. Liu Yi ordered us to retreat first, and he led the army to cut off the rear."

Yang Yi's head buzzed, something serious happened.Immediately ordered that all soldiers immediately go to the city to guard.I personally went to see Gongsun Du to report.

Gongsun Du's eagle eyes flickered coldly, "Where are the reinforcements from Xuantu and Le Lang?"

"My lord, our navy was defeated by the Xuzhou navy, and my brother committed suicide and refused to surrender! Le Lang has been intercepted, and Xuantu's reinforcements will arrive in two days."

"Hey, Yang Li sacrificed his life. His aspirations are commendable, and he will be rewarded with a thousand taels. After the war, there will be a sacrifice for him. General Yang Yi should follow his brother's heroism and fight Xuzhou to the end!"

"Yes!"

"It's not difficult to break out of the encirclement with General Liu Yi's ability. You immediately send people to inquire about the news, hold on to the city and don't go out to fight until Xuantu's reinforcements arrive. Liaodong City has high walls and thick walls, and it will not be easy for Zhou Cang to attack the city!" Gongsun Du said to himself. Said, "Without the catapult, Zhou Cang cut off a claw. In order to lure our army out of the city, Zhou Cang discarded the grain and grass, and cut off his own claw. I want to see how Zhou Cang, who only has teeth left, can gnaw Move me, Xiangping!"

Gongsun Du patted Yang Yi on the shoulder, "As long as you defend Xiangping, Zhou Cang will retreat, and you can avenge your brother!"

Tears welled up in Yang Yi's eyes: "My lord, don't worry, the Lord will keep Xiangping in the end!"

Yang Yi bid farewell to Gongsun Du and returned to the city, and immediately ordered to organize the young and strong in the city to help defend the city.

Another hour passed, and Liu Qing returned to Xiangping.On the way, Liu Qing also restrained hundreds of stragglers, and two soldiers made a simple stretcher out of branches to carry Liu Yi's body.

"Ah, General Liu Yi is dead." Yang Yi's expression changed drastically. As one of the leading figures in Liaodong, the death of Liu Yi would have a huge impact on the morale of the city.

Liu Qing's eyes were full of anger at this time: "General Yang, Zhou Cang is not dead, we are surrounded by the enemy, General Liu Yi was shot and killed."

"Zhou Cang is still alive?" Yang Yi's expression changed again.

"Exactly, I saw it with my own eyes, and there is no injury in my body!"

Yang Yi covered her face with her hands, "It's my fault!"

Yang Hu interjected and asked Liu Qing, "Liu Qing, General Liu Yi died in battle, why are you unscathed? How did you snatch the corpse from the siege? How did you see Zhou Cang?"

Liu Qing was furious, and Yang Hu questioned and doubted himself. "You swore that Zhou Cang was dead and Xuzhou's army was in disarray. It wasn't you who lied about the military situation. How could our army be defeated and lose thousands of people? Poor General Liu Yi will not die with peace!" Liu Qing burst into tears after speaking.

"Hugh has to quibble, you answer my question first."

Yang Yi stepped forward and saw Liu Yi being shot through by an arrow from the back of his neck, and couldn't help sighing. "General Liu rest in peace. Don't quarrel, General Liu unfortunately died in battle, it's better to go to the ground first."

But Liu Qing didn't listen to Yang Yi's words, she hugged Liu Yi's body and kept crying, calling out the injustice of death, all the soldiers on both sides looked sideways.

Yang Yi persuaded: "Liu Qing, General Liu is dead, it is better to find a way to avenge him, you know who shot General Liu, I will definitely kill him."

"In the midst of a chaotic battle, how do you know who shot it!" Liu Qing cursed secretly, the culprit is you, if not you, how could we be surrounded.

Yang Hu came over to pull Liu Qing, Liu Qing didn't dare to argue with Yang Yi, and cast all his anger on Yang Hu, "You villain, if it wasn't for you, my general would have died in vain!"

Yang Hu retorted: "In a confrontation between two armies, victory or defeat is inevitable. It is so rare for a general to die in battle. My general Yang Li also died in battle. I don't think you understand why, it must be an undercover agent sent by Zhou Cang! Tell me, have you already taken refuge in Zhou Cang?"

The two quarreled and twisted together.Liu Qing never expected that all Zhou Cang did was to win Liu Qing's favor, pointing the contradiction at Yang Yi, making Liu Qing disrupt the situation, and Zhou Cang influenced her mind subtly.
