Choose three out of ten at the beginning, summon ten gods to dominate the other world

Taking advantage of the night, Liang Hong led the army to retreat.

Liang Hong knew the strength of the Zhenbei Army very well. He took all the troops with him and did not leave anyone to die.

Along the way, Liang Hong kept setting traps, especially for the cavalry, and did not dare to save at all.

But strangely, the Zhenbei Army did not appear, as if they did not know that the Liang Army had retreated.

Liang Hong's heart was slightly relaxed until he saw Dingyuan City from a distance.

"There is no time to lose. Order the army to attack the city immediately and recapture Dingyuan City as soon as possible."

The situation in Dingyuan City has been basically mastered. There are 200,000 Zhenbei Army in the city. This force is very strong. It is necessary to pay a great price to recapture Dingyuan City.

However, the location of Dingyuan City and future plans must be recaptured even if the sacrifice is great.

"Come on, don't stop exploring behind us for a moment. If there is anything unusual, you must find out as soon as possible."

Liang Hong was very worried about what was behind him. It would be troublesome if he was surrounded.

Half a day passed, and the imagined cavalry did not appear, but the Liang army's siege was obviously not going well. Even though the generals knew a few cities well, they were still helpless because of the defensive strength of the Zhenbei Army.

Even some of the advance layouts were useless at this moment, and they could only attack fiercely.

The Zhenbei Army was powerful and well-defended. The Liang army had no choice but to send some generals to try to destroy the gate of Dingyuan City.

Li Cunxiao stood on the gate, looking at the Liang army generals approaching, reached out to take a longbow, and replaced it with arrows made of black iron.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

After several arrows were shot in succession, several generals of the Liang army fell down and could not get close to the gate at all.

Although Li Cunxiao was not the best at bows and arrows, he had no problem dealing with some grandmaster generals with his strong strength.

Looking at the battlefield, Liang Hong was anxious. Nearly one million troops were trapped under the city. If the Zhenbei Army in the rear launched an attack, it would be a great disaster for the Liang army.

What you fear will come. Just when Liang Hong was anxious, dust flew in the rear, and it was obvious that a large number of cavalry were attacking.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible for us to break through Dingyuan City in a short time. Now the enemy cavalry is coming. We can't take care of each other. The situation is very unfavorable. I suggest that we temporarily abandon Dingyuan City and retreat from Liucheng."

Liucheng is also a border city of Liang State, equivalent to Shiguan City of Xia State. It is not a military town, but it can be passed.

"Your Majesty, you can't hesitate. Once the cavalry and hundreds of thousands of Zhenbei Army behind us arrive, we will not be able to retreat unscathed."

"There are still dozens of miles to Liucheng. If we don't act quickly, we are afraid that we will be hit by the Zhenbei Army along the way."

The situation is precarious. If we delay any further, it will be bad.

Liang Hong was unwilling to give up. Not only did he fail to achieve success in this trip, but it would also seriously affect the subsequent actions of Liang State. If Dingyuan City was not taken back, it would be a great obstacle to the invasion of Xia State.

"Forget it, retreat."

Liang Hong knew that the most important thing at this moment was to preserve strength and regroup. It was no longer suitable to continue fighting under the current situation.

It was not so easy for a million-strong army to evacuate, and dispatch was a big problem.

At this point in time, the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the White Robe Army all arrived.

180,000 cavalrymen against these infantrymen in the melee was a one-sided massacre.

Fortunately, Liang Hong gave the order in time, and most of the troops left the battlefield, otherwise the whole army would be in a melee and they would not be able to leave even if they wanted to.

However, Liang Hong had not been grateful for long, and a large army rushed out from the front and directly attacked the chaotic Liang army.

"Ma Chao of the Zhenbei Army is here, and the thieves are not going to surrender."

Ma Chao led tens of thousands of troops and directly stopped part of the Liang army.

It turned out that Long Tian had already judged that the Liang army would retreat through Liucheng, and arranged in advance for the Five Tiger Generals to lead troops to intercept and kill them.

Liang Hong knew that this was not the time to fight, so he gave up part of his army to fight the Zhenbei Army, and the main army continued to retreat towards Liucheng.

In front, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and others led tens of thousands of troops to block and constantly divide the Liang army.

Under the threat of the Zhenbei Army cavalry, Liang Hong did not dare to lead his army to fight with them. He just wanted to retreat to Liucheng and make plans. He could not care about the losses along the way.

After fighting and stopping, Liang Hong finally ran to Liucheng.

"Quick, gather the army, count the losses, and strictly guard Liucheng."

As soon as he arrived in Liucheng, Liang Hong made arrangements immediately.

Soon after, the war losses were counted.

This time, Liang Hong led a total of one million troops. After the previous battle with Baijiang City and this siege, the Liang army still had 600,000 troops, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

The army arrivesArriving at Liucheng, it was temporarily out of danger. Liang Hong immediately ordered strict defense and reported the news to the emperor, hoping to get support.

On the other side, Long Tian also received the news.

"Your Majesty, the enemy has withdrawn to Liucheng. In this battle, we have wiped out 200,000 people and captured 200,000 people."

"Now that we have occupied Dingyuan City, if Liang wants to invade Xia, it must first take Dingyuan City and open the passage, so that we have enough time to prepare."

The purpose of taking Dingyuan City is this.

"Order people to escort 200,000 captives back to Zhenbei City to practice our skills, and at the same time arrange for the captives to prepare winter firewood and other supplies."

These Liang people cannot be kept in vain. The effect of practicing skills remains to be seen, and at the same time they can contribute to the winter in the northern border this year.

There is no coal in this world, which is also what Long Tian is about to explore. It is obviously not enough to rely on farmers' firewood to survive the winter, especially in the city.

"Li Cunxiao, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, and Yu Jin will be stationed in Dingyuan City, Huo Qubing will be in charge of the northern border, and the others will perform their duties."

"In addition, order Wei Qing to lead the barbarian cavalry to invade the southern courtyard of Liang State, so that they do not have enough troops and energy to invade Xia State. After this winter, we will slowly clean up Liang State."

Long Tian decided to fight the war against Liang State to this extent. Winter is coming, and it will snow heavily, which is not conducive to a major war.

On the other hand, the barbarians, with the food supported by Long Tian, ​​do not have to worry about survival this winter, but can play a certain role.

"Jia Xu, you and Zhao Yun and others, follow me back to Zhenbei City."

Long Tian was eager to return to Zhenbei City because he received two pieces of news.

One is that the sect forces in the northern border, Zongzhou, and even Qingzhou, Jeju and other places united to hold a so-called martial arts conference to denounce Long Tian's harm to the sect forces, and Long Tian needed to deal with it.

There was another piece of news that surprised Long Tian very much. There had been no news about this before. It was related to the origin of the Long family. Long Tian was anxious to find Manager Long to learn all the details.
