Li Xiao rushed up with a sword, Lan Kebang was already holding the heart of death, swinging an axe to slash at Li Xiao, "whoosh", the trapped fairy stick flew over, and hit Lan Kebang's arm, "Bang", the big axe fell to the ground.

Li Xiao turned around and stabbed, and the black gold Tanyun sword pierced into Lan Kebang's lower abdomen, only to hear the sound of "ah", but Lan Keban did not fall, he grabbed Li Xiao's wrist holding the hilt with one hand, and lifted Li Xiao up with force, and the sword in Li Xiao's hand was also pulled out.

At this moment, Boss Ke arrived, jumped up, raised the big ring knife with both hands, and slashed at Lan Kebang's arm, Lan Kebang screamed again, his arm and Li Xiao fell to the ground at the same time, "Huh" another sword, Wanfang's sword stabbed into Lan Kebang's chest, Lan Kebang's other hand grabbed Wanfang's sword hilt and didn't let him pull out the sword.

King Kong swept Ranke's head down with a whirlwind leg, and Soul Breaker cut off Rank's head with a sword, ending his life. A bitter battle is over.

Li Xiao stood up and picked up his sword when a group of soldiers rushed over. Li Xiao said to Lan Kebang's corpse, "You shouldn't have come. After speaking, he said to the soldiers: "Soldiers, bury him." After speaking, he said to several senior brothers: "Let's go into the city." A few people nodded.

At this time, the rain fell even more, and the rain piled up together and merged into a river, washing the corpses of the warriors to a low place, wrapped in the blood of the battlefield, and all the brains flowed into the moat.

When everyone came to the city gate, a voice came from the city wall, "Why did you come here, I have been waiting for you for a long time." There are only a few shrimp soldiers and crabs left to fight for a long time. The voice was made by Guo Rengui, because the rain was too loud, many people didn't hear it clearly, but several of Li Xiao's senior brothers heard it clearly.

Li Xiao's senior brothers, looking at Guo Rengui on the city, ignored him, Li Xiao looked at Guo Rengui on the city wall, holding an umbrella alone, sitting on the wall, holding a wine gourd and drinking.

Li Xiao said: "The wine gourd was thrown down, and I drank two sips. After saying that, he felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he waved his hand, and the group entered the county town.

A fire burned the county town beyond recognition, if it weren't for this heavy rain, the county town would no longer exist, the group came to the palace, the soldiers cleaned up the room that had not been burned, and left it for Li Xiao and his party to live, Runfeng arranged for the soldiers to camp, the granary of the county town was burned without a trace, everyone was very hungry, and the soldiers began to search for grain and grass throughout the city.

It rained for more than five days, full of mud, people and horses could not come out, war pigeons could not fly, and Dongning could not be reported. The rain finally stopped, and Li Xiao, Guo Rengui, Broken Soul, Changzhi, King Kong, Wan Fang, Ke Boss, and Runfeng discussed together.

Changzhi said: "Xiao Er, Shicai and Senior Brother have sent war pigeons, Senior Brother is safe and sound, I have told Senior Brother about the food interruption, Senior Brother will send someone to send grain and grass, what are we going to do next?"

Li Xiao said: "I don't know whether to solve Chen's urgency first or seize the other five mansions first, brothers, what is the best strategy?"

Guo Rengui said: "In my opinion, it is better to withdraw the army to Dongning first, and in the long run, what is the point of defending such an empty city?"

Runfeng said: "Shu County has been a grain road since ancient times, Dongning is the hub, these two cities can not be empty, even if it is an empty city, it also needs to be heavily guarded, these two places are the place where soldiers must fight, the last general thinks that five thousand troops can be divided to garrison Dongning, the rest of the army guards the county town, to wait for work, the north can resist the Zixuanguan troops, and the south can prevent Chen Yu Dazhai from retreating. cut off the grain route of the Three Spirits Army, and within half a year, the Three Spirits Army broke without a fight. ”

Changzhi nodded and said: "Little General Runfeng, what you said is reasonable, but the combined troops of Dongning and Shujun are less than 30,000, defending two cities, and the grain and grass cannot be supplied, I am afraid that our army may not be able to hold out for half a year." ”

Li Xiao said: "Third Senior Brother, what do you think?"

Changzhi said: "With the current strength of our army, we can attack Rongze first, if Rongze is taken down, our army can settle in Rongze, and Chen Youguan's Nanjuan General will form a horn, and bring 50,000 elite soldiers from the south to support the enemy, and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop." ”

Li Xiao nodded, and at this time, a soldier appeared at the door of the big tent, and Li Xiao saw that he was the one who was sent by himself to Chen You to inquire about the news. Li Xiao waved to his brothers: "Lose your company" and walked out of the big tent.

"General Hui, I inquired clearly, Miss Ying'er was indeed in Chen Youguan, in He Fengzai's camp, when Zi Xuanguan was broken, most of the defenders and the people went to retreat into Chen Youguan, and General Nan Juan ruled the people, and the guards of each prefecture camped to govern. The soldier said.

Li Xiao asked again: "How many defenders does Chen You have, and is it safe?

The soldier said: "Chen You originally defended 100,000 troops, General Nan Juan brought 200,000, the defeated army of the Seven Prefectures in the Northeast retreated more than 100,000, and Chen You managed no less than 400,000. The people in the customs are living normally, and they are very peaceful. ”

Li Xiao was very satisfied, and felt that this soldier was very clever, so he said to the soldier, "What's your name?"

The soldier replied: "General Hui, the villain's name is Liu Yi"

Li Xiao smiled: "Good name, be a spy for me in the future, follow me." ”

Liu Yi knelt down on one leg and said: "General Xie is raised, the small one must live up to the general's good intentions." ”

Li Xiao waved his hand to the attention, signaling him to leave, thinking about it and thinking that Chen You's 400,000 army was enough to fight with the Sanling Army, he returned to the big tent and said to everyone: "The right talent to explore the army to report, Chen Yu has an army of 400,000, and our army can join forces with General Nanjuan to take the Sanling Dazhai in one fell swoop and drive them back to their hometown." ”

Changzhi said: "No, the Sanling Army is not a native chicken, in case of defeat, the entire northern country will suffer, and our army does not know how to deploy the Sanling Dazhai, and the rash march is not the way to use soldiers, or it needs to be considered in the long run." ”

Runfeng said: "What Master Changzhi said is extremely true, Chen Yu is no different, our army can rest assured, as Master Changzhi said, our army can attack Rongze first, and borrow troops from General Xiangnan Juan to garrison the county town, so as to wait for work." ”

Li Xiao looked at Guo Rengui, Guo Rengui said: "Look at me useless, I don't know the art of war, where do you say to fight, I'll just follow." I'll make a little more mechanism for your use. ”

Broken Soul said: "Let's think about it in the long run, wait for the grain and grass of the senior brother to arrive, it's not too late to make plans, there is no food in the army, and you can't move the troops." Everyone said yes.

Everyone withdrew from the big tent, and Li Xiao stopped Guo Rengui and said, "Brother Rengui, how about I invite you to drink tonight?"

Guo Rengui smiled: "Drinking is fake, there is no alcohol in the army at all, let's say, let me do something?"

Li Xiao whispered to Guo Rengui: "Tonight, the third is like this. ”
