From the hopeful dream of taking control of the Central Plains and unifying the world, to now he has lost two cities in a row, losing nearly one-third of his territory, and the enemy's sword is pointing directly at his capital, Xianyang City.

After this set of great joy and sorrow, Emperor Liang, who was already in a bad mental state, fell ill without any surprise.

On this day, new information was sent to the palace...

"Centaur cavalry? Why are there centaur cavalry on the opposite side?!"

In his excitement, Emperor Liang felt dizzy and frightened the maids around him into panic again.

Taking a deep breath, Emperor Liang calmed down for a while, then forced himself to calm down, and then ordered in a deep voice...

"Send someone to contact the Generalissimo as quickly as possible, go!"

"yes!"

Time continues to pass, and with the arrival of midsummer, the climate is getting hotter day by day.

Coach Liang Jun obviously did not expect that during the period when he was leading a large army on the expedition, his hometown would be captured by the enemy.

Coach Liang Jun, who confirmed the news, was shocked on the spot. When he saw the centaur cavalry mentioned in the news, his expression became even more uncertain.

In fact, the centaur mercenaries have never come back since they went out to perform their missions.

At first, coach Liang Jun didn’t think there was any problem.

After all, going deep behind enemy lines and intercepting supplies is a dangerous and time-consuming task in itself.

They need enough time to hibernate and find the troops escorting supplies on the opposite side before they can take action.

Considering the time aspect, this itself is an uncertain matter.

But as the Centaur mercenaries' departure time continued to extend, Coach Liang Jun's uneasiness became more and more intense! Especially after receiving this news!

Of course, his reason was saying that there could not be only such a group of centaurs in the world. The group of centaur cavalry mentioned in the news that broke through the western border of their Liang Kingdom were likely to come from another force.

But no matter what the situation was, he had to retreat.

Unlike their side, which was still in a stalemate, according to the news, the enemy forces from the other side who launched an offensive from the western border of Liang Kingdom had captured two of their cities in succession! The entire offensive is overwhelming!

At this time, the enemy's position was able to directly threaten Daliang City, the capital of Liang State.

Their Majesties have now given an order for him to immediately lead his army back to the country to rescue him.

"Pass the commander's order to withdraw the troops immediately!"

With this order, the lieutenant next to him was immediately startled.

"Marshal, once our army withdraws, what will happen to those Centaur mercenaries who are deep behind enemy lines?"

Hearing this, coach Liang Jun frowned.

"The situation is extremely urgent now. They have lost news for so long. We can't control them anymore. We need to withdraw first!"

At this time, coach Liang Jun had no choice, not only because the situation in the rear was critical, but also because if there was a problem in the rear, their logistics supplies would not be guaranteed.

Rather than taking the risk and continuing to waste time on the front line, it is better to retreat altogether.

When the time comes to protect His Majesty, it will be regarded as a meritorious service.

Basically, as soon as Liang Jun outside the city made a move, Shi Lei inside the city received the report immediately.

"Lieutenant Colonel, Liang Jun has lifted the siege outside the city and retreated! Do we want to go out of the city to pursue?!"

Putting down the military affairs at hand, Shi Lei looked up at the excited adjutant and then shook his head.

"Don't worry. If we go out of the city to attack at this time, if the enemy gives up retreat and turns around to fight us, our casualties will not be small based on that troop strength."

Speaking of this, Shi Lei paused.

"Send my order to have the troops in the city prepare for the expedition. Once the logistics materials arrive, they will officially set off."

As soon as he saw that the Liang Army retreated, Shi Lei knew that it was Zhuo Ge and the others who had succeeded.

In this war, their Anling City seemed to be the main battlefield, but in fact it was just a bait to attract the enemy's troops. That's why Shi Lei guarded Anling City motionless, not afraid of spending time with the other side.

Because from the beginning, his mission was not to defeat the enemy, but to hold him back.

Now that Zhuo Ge has succeeded and Liang Jun's large forces are forced to retreat, it is natural for them to get active after resting for so long.

As luck would have it, the logistics supplies that had been delayed for a long time were delivered that night.

Along with them were three hundred Zhou cavalry led by Jie Liancheng.

After completing the work of hunting down the centaurs and escorting the logistics supplies, Xie Liancheng had no intention of just returning home. Next, he would directly follow the troops headed by Shi Lei on the expedition.

The arrival of Jie Liancheng was naturally an added advantage for Shi Lei, making him more confident in the next battle.

The large army had not yet moved, but the cavalry unit headed by Xie Liancheng had already taken the lead and was chasing the Liang Army's large army that had retreated yesterday.

It took less than a day to travel, and according to the moving speed of the Zhou cavalry, they quickly succeeded in catching up.

As the cavalry hurried on, the noise could not be lessened. From a long distance away, the rumble of the large number of horses stamping on the ground could already be heard.

Looking back, looking at the dust rising all over the sky, coach Liang Jun's expression suddenly changed.

[Is the enemy's cavalry unit catching up? Or is it that the centaur mercenaries are back? 】

Coach Liang Jun certainly hopes that it will be the latter, but he must prepare for the worst.

"Zhao Hu, take the cavalry troops over and take a look."

After receiving the order, Zhao Hu pulled the reins and summoned the five hundred cavalry in their army to rush to intercept. They must not let the other party get close to their large army easily.

As the distance continued to shorten, the figures of both sides quickly broke into each other's field of vision.

Zhao Hu recognized at a glance that they were not centaur mercenaries, but enemies who came to chase their large army!

Coming to this conclusion, Zhao Hu quickly tensed up his nerves and began to look around secretly.

Zhao Hu was relieved when he saw that the leading general was not Li Tie, and that the cavalry force on the opposite side was obviously smaller than them in size.

When they fought outside Anling City, Li Tie had a big ax and was really brave. If they fight again, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that he could win the opponent reliably.

Putting aside unnecessary emotions, Zhao Hu adjusted his breathing and focused his attention on the approaching enemy cavalry unit in front of him.

When their own forces are completely superior, cavalry versus cavalry, why do they have the need to retreat?

With a mentality of never causing further trouble, Zhao Hu led the cavalry troops to charge forward in one breath, targeting directly the enemy general at the front.

"The enemy will die!!"

Amidst the roar, Zhao Hu slashed at the opponent with a sharp sword in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the three-pointed two-edged sword in Xie Liancheng's hand would arrive first and be faster!

A cold light flashed, and the two riders staggered. A big head immediately splattered blood and flew up!

On the dark face, a pair of eyes were wide open, and it was obvious that he didn't understand what happened until his death.

"There are so many shadows of the Bagua Dao, but it's a pity that you are too weak!"
