"General, it's on fire!" As soon as Shan Xiongxin retreated to the last camp, he heard an exclamation.

Shan Xiongxin looked back, only to see the second camp burst into flames and billowing smoke, the fire spread rapidly, the raging flames were swept to the east by the wind, and a red flame that resisted the military tent flew up, forming a sea of fire several miles long, and the entire camp seemed to be engulfed in flames. Some Wei soldiers who received the order late and withdrew relatively slowly cried for their fathers and mothers in the fire, trampled on each other in the raging flames, and rushed to flee for their lives. The west wind fueled the fire, sweeping the smoke towards the third camp.

"Damn Yang Dong!" Shan Xiongxin smashed the baffle in front of him with a heavy fist, only gritting his teeth with hatred, if the other party burned the first camp with fire, they would have enough time to prevent the fire and isolate the fire from the second and third camps, and then with the raging fire, when the Sui army could not attack, they hurried to build a new camp, but now they could only watch the fire spread, and under the strong wind, they rushed to this side.

"Withdraw, abandon the camp!"

Shan Xiongxin didn't need Fang Xuanzao's reminder this time, so he gave the order to evacuate like thunder. If they don't retreat, the soldiers will be completely engulfed in this fire, and how can they resist the invading enemy when they are gone?

Fang Xuanzao let out a long sigh, and began to retreat under the escort of the soldiers, as for the heavy weapons such as catapults, they couldn't be taken away, and even the hoarded food could not be saved, and if they were delayed for a while, they had to be suffocated to death by the smoke.

Shan Xiongxin was unwilling, but he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and quickly withdrew from the barracks with the army, watching the camp covered by fire and smoke, his heart was cold, and he said astringently: "Sir, we have lost this camp, there is no longer a barrier, the Sui army is not only outnumbered, but also tens of thousands of elite horsemen, I am afraid that we alone will not be able to stop the Sui army." ”

Fang Xuanzao nodded silently.

As early as the day before yesterday, the most elite 5,000 Inner Army had been cut to nothing by the heavy armor Mo Sword Army of the Sui Dynasty; The Great Sui Iron Cavalry and the demon-like Mo Sword Army were simply a nightmare for the Wei army. Now that it has lost its geographical advantage, it is impossible for the frightened Wei army to stop the Sui army.

Fang Xuanzao pondered for a moment and said, "The rest will be talked about later, the top priority is to protect our army." ”

"Huh?" Shan Xiongxin was surprised: "Are we dangerous? ”

Fang Xuanzao nodded, looked back at the campsite filled with fire, and frowned: "This fire will only delay the Sui army for an hour at most, and then it will be able to catch up." And our army is all foot soldiers, I am afraid that we will be caught up by the Sui army's iron cavalry before Qingliu County. ”

"How's that okay?" Shan Xiongxin only heard that his heart was cold.

"The morale of our army is low now, and once the Sui army attacks, our army will surely collapse without a fight. Therefore, we must block it and bring this army back to Qingliu City in its entirety, I have a plan, or we can delay the enemy army. ”

"Please sir!" Shan Xiongxin hurriedly bowed and said.

Fang Xuanzao said: "The baggage troops are unstable troops, so they can retreat to Qingliu County along the road, while the general will divide the elite division into pieces and split them into small forces of 1,000 or 500 people. The purpose was not to confront the Sui army head-on, but to attack and kill the scouts, destroy the roads, and try all means to delay the cavalry. ”

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin couldn't help frowning, this method is indeed useful, but the premise is that the lieutenant general needs to have absolute loyalty to the Wei State, otherwise, the divided army may surrender directly, or disperse as deserters.

Now that the Sui army is pressing the border, the situation in Great Wei is also quite bad, after losing their own moderation, how many of these soldiers are willing to fight against the surging Sui army?

"Although the combat strength and will of the baggage soldiers are not strong, they are numerous, and they have experienced countless battles, they are much stronger than the recruits, and with a little training, they can become elite soldiers, and it is a pity to give up like this. But if they are cut off now, they will definitely disperse in a hurry, which is why I suggest that the general let the elite army take on this task! ”

Fang Xuanzao understood Shan Xiongxin's worries, and sighed: "This strategy is really not easy to perform, but if the army is gathered in one place, it is easy to fall into the encirclement of the Sui army, and the large number of heavy troops who have no will to fight will inevitably collapse first, and then affect the morale of the elite army, and at that time, there will be more soldiers lost." As for how to choose, it is up to the general to decide. ”

After Shan Xiongxin pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "I personally led a thousand people to fight, and the rest of the soldiers, with 500 people as a team, are mainly composed of generals at all levels, and attack separately, as for how many soldiers and horses are willing to continue to obey the orders of the generals, there is really no guarantee." Inevitably, there will be an accident, please bring a thousand elites with heavy soldiers to return first, if I don't die, I will return to Qingliu to meet Mr."

Fang Xuanzao nodded, and said: "The task of the general is to destroy the road, and don't be tempted to fight a decisive battle with the enemy." ””

"The last general understands!"

At the moment, Shan Xiongxin recruited all the generals in the army, including partial generals, Lang generals, captains, brigade commanders, and team leaders, and after telling the plan, Shan Xiongxin said: "I only need three days, and after three days, the generals are willing to return to Qingliu City, His Royal Highness the King of Wei and I Shan Xiongxin are very welcome, if you are not willing to fight again, I will not force you." ”

"Don't worry, general, we will not fail in our mission!"

The generals immediately replied that the Wei army's almost military attache system was a credible person selected by Li Mi after being eliminated and eliminated in the past few years, and many of the generals were promoted from the 'Pushan Public Camp' and the 'Internal Army', and they were extremely loyal to Li Mi, and their families were all in Jiangdu City.

Shan Xiongxin hugged his fists at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Today's farewell, you cherish!" ”

"The general cherishes!" All the generals bowed their hands at the same time and said loudly to Shan Xiongxin.

Shan Xiongxin didn't say anything, he simply assigned the task, and the people dispersed, Shan Xiongxin personally selected a thousand elites, and Xu Shiren escorted Fang Xuanzao to Qingliu City.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

As soon as the Wei army's camp was broken, the Sui army would no longer have any obstacles, and could drive straight into Jiangdu. The camp fire lasted for more than an hour, and when the fire weakened, the soldiers of the Sui army braved the heat and quickly cleared out a piece to save the military rations left behind by the Wei army's hasty withdrawal.

"Holy! The whole Wei army was a foot soldier, and it was still too late to pursue at this time, and the last general was willing to lead a fine cavalry to pursue Shan Xiongxin. Mai Mengcai asked.

"General Mai's ambition to annihilate the thieves is very comforting." Yang Tong looked at Mai Mengcai and said, "But do you know where Shan Xiongxin is retreating now?" Although the Wei army withdrew, his soldiers and horses were not damaged, how many troops did the general think would be able to win the battle against Shan Xiongxin? The key is, if you strayed into the enemy's formation, how would you get out of trouble? ”

"This ......" Mai Mengcai was dumbfounded, the Wei army was like a lost dog, even if Shan Xiongxin had more troops, he was not afraid, but the strange formation in Guli was really heartbreaking.

"Our army has a wide range of generals, high morale, and can be pushed to Jiangdu step by step, so why take this risk? When our army rested, they will advance with a dignified and upright division. If you rashly pursue at this time, and fall into the calculation, not only will you not be able to make meritorious contributions, but you will make others laugh. ”

"Holy!" Du Fuwei arched his hand and said: "Since the defeat of Xiang'an City, the Wei army has run here to build a military camp, and this camp is regarded as a roadblock, and there will definitely be no formation ahead. Now that Shan Xiongxin has fled, people are panicking, I'm afraid that if he wants to set up a formation, no one will listen! Moreover, the formation is not built in a moment and a half. In order to annihilate the enemy's vitality, the last general feels that he can pursue it, and if he encounters a camp, it is a big deal to retreat! It is better to divide the troops and burn the war to Jiangdu as soon as possible, and contain Li Mi's main force in the Qingliu area, so as not to have more time for him to move. ”

"General Du's words are quite reasonable!" Yang Tong thought for a while and said, "In this case, General Mai, General Xue, and General Wang each led a cavalry to pursue Shan Xiongxin, and General Du and I led the Chinese army to rush to Qingliu City!" Remember, don't get in. ”

"The last general commands!" Mai Mengcai, Xue Wanbei, and Wang Xiongdan hurriedly came out and bowed down to answer the order.

Kan Ling opened his mouth, and in the end he could only sigh for a long time, this should have been his share, but he was injured, and it was not good to hold on to the battle, so he could only watch others go to make meritorious contributions, and he could only follow the saint and his father-in-law steadily, and it felt a little bad.

The road was quickly cleared, and the cavalry of the three-way Sui army began to advance towards Jiangdu County, but the speed of the three-way march did not lead to the imaginary victory.

Shan Xiongxin personally led a thousand soldiers and horses, according to the danger, Mai Mengcai was delayed, and Xue Wanbei and Wang Xiongdan, the two soldiers and horses, in two hours, were attacked no less than ten times, although each time the enemy killed only a few hundred, but the means were quite bad, although Shan Xiongxin was the most powerful, but he was at least a normal attack and disturbance, and the generals who were put sheep by Shan Xiongxin were not so particular. Most of these generals, captains, and brigade commanders are people who have been bandits, and they have quite a set of guerrilla and sabotage, and if you ask them about the art of war, maybe no one can answer, but when it comes to playing yin, these people are all experts, and there are various ways of playing such as broken roads and traps, which are all kinds of headaches.

Of course, there are also people who saw that the Sui army was powerful and chose to become deserters, and Mai Mengcai and others certainly knew Shan Xiongxin's plans.

However! Even if you know, what can you do? They don't fight you head-on at all, and the destruction of the road alone makes it impossible for the cavalry to advance victoriously. Shan Xiongxin is the only main force, but he also has no fixed place, he does not communicate with his subordinates at all, and puts on a posture of leaving him to fend for himself, even if he wants to find it, I am afraid that he will not be able to find any team.

For two days in a row, everyone was tossed by this group of people who seemed to be flies, and as for the main force under the command of Fang Xuanzao, the shadow could not be seen, and in desperation, he had to report to Yang Tong, who led the main force to march slowly, and asked Yang Dong to give an idea.

"It's not that hard." Yang Tong couldn't help laughing and said: "Since these armies have been out of Shan Xiongxin's control, it shouldn't be difficult to rebel and surrender." Tell these people that as long as they lay down their arms and surrender, I will not only be guilty of the past, but also rewarded. ”

"This is a very good way." Duvowe also nodded.

Yang Tong was about to give an order, but when he saw a Shura guard running outside the camp, he bowed down and said, "Your Excellency, the three generals have sent news, and they all say that the rogues who attacked the army are all gone!" In addition, the main force of the Wei army had retreated into Qingliu City, and they not only strengthened the city defenses and dug a moat, but also dug a trap pit three miles wide around the city, and the whole city actively prepared for war to wait for our army. ”

Yang Tong: "......"

Du Fuwei and Kan Leng: "......"

"Order Mai Mengcai, Xue Wanbei, and Wang Xiongdan to converge with the main force, be careful, don't fall for the enemy's night attack." Yang Tong ordered with tears and laughter.

"Whoa!" Shurawei quickly retreated.

Yang Tong looked at Du Fuwei and said with a smile: "The end of the year is approaching, there will be dozens of kings going to Beijing to worship, some of them have already arrived in Luoyang, I have already returned to the court, as for the war in Jiangdu, please ask General Du." ”

"The last general commands!" Duvowe responded generously.

"I will leave behind an intelligence organization to collect and release flying eagles, if you encounter a strange formation, you must map the formation as soon as possible and send it to the imperial capital. If you have any trouble, you can also ask for instructions as soon as possible. ”

"Whoa!" Du Fuwei was now afraid of this formation that he couldn't start, and when he heard Yang Tong arrange a flying eagle team for him, he was instantly overjoyed.
