The soldier in charge of delivering the military information swallowed.

It wasn't until a long time later that the ghost army commander figured it out.

As far as the ghost army is concerned, the current battle situation, Xiezi Mountain has been lost, and the Xuan army has begun to continuously transport troops, landing from there, spreading to the depth and left and right, and will attack the main force, aiming at Bailiba, in an attempt to open the second landing point.

After learning this, the ghost general couldn't help but be angry, and asked loudly: "Why is it delayed for such a military situation!?" ”

"It's all because...... Because our army's Bailiba fortress, and the stronghold of Xiezishan, the waterways were all blocked by the enemy, and they could only take the mountain road to transmit news, so ......" The soldier stammered.

"Enough!" The ghost will interrupt it with a loud voice.

At this time, his lieutenant general couldn't help but come over: "General, general, now that the Xuan army has landed, and then support Bailiba, I'm afraid it's too late, and the gap has been opened, the enemy's strength is endless, and when its advantages expand, it will definitely be surrounded in the direction of the Linhe crossing." ”

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that our army abandoned the crossing of the Lin River? The ghost general asked in a condensed voice.

"This ......" The adjutant general was a little afraid to answer, and after a pause, he said cautiously: "If you don't retreat, I'm afraid that the whole army will be in danger, and I hope the general will think twice." ”

The Ghost Army Leader took another deep breath and began to quickly weigh the pros and cons.

Linhe ferry, different Baili Dam and Xiezi Mountain, this is the place where the official road is connected, the real road.

Let the ghost army give up like this, and I am still somewhat unwilling in my heart.

But he knew in his heart that what the adjutant general said was right, when the Xuanjun troops crossed more and more rivers, and his main force wanted to retreat, I was afraid it would be too late.

Thinking of this, he also looked at the lieutenant general, and said reluctantly: "Order to retreat!" Inform the Bailiba side that the Linhe defense line has been lost, and there is no need to defend it anymore, all the troops, return to Gannan first! ”

"Yes!" The lieutenant general took the order and left.

In a military war, in the case of a defeat in the battle and a total collapse, you can only withdraw your troops, otherwise, it is a dead end.

There is no way for the ghost army to do this, but these have obviously been deployed by Yan Qi in advance.

With the order of the commander-in-chief, the main force of the ghost army was the first to retreat, and then the news spread to Bailiba, the ghost army broke up and began to flee one after another, and the Xuan army then took the second landing point.

And this battle of crossing the river also lasted all night, and the battle line spread to many places, and it was not until dawn the next day that the battle completely stopped.

At this point, the total strength of the Xuan army to cross the river was about 20,000 or 30,000, and after the battle, it also assembled at the Lin River ferry as soon as possible.

Right now, the main force of the ghost army on the other side has already run away, the ferry has been occupied by his own side, and Yan Qi is standing on the shore, talking to several village chiefs.

"I heard that the general's troops need these barrels to cross the river, and we have mobilized the people nearby in the past two days to send these things, hoping to help."

"Okay, okay, thank you folks, fathers and elders, with these, our army can also cross the river more quickly." Yan Qi couldn't help nodding.

The surface of the great river is full of boats, rafts, and barrels.

This crossing of the river was the real main force, not the small groups of troops during the rush, and the scene can be imagined.

Some boats, carrying war horses, some boats, full of soldiers, that is how many can be loaded, many boats have a very deep draft, the river is almost the edge of the boat, but these are nothing to the Xuanjun soldiers, because of the geographical reasons of Xuanguo, the Xuanjun has always had a battle to cross the river, and the soldiers often take the boat, and most of them know the water.

At the same time as the large army crossed the river, Yan Qi also ordered the general Tan Zhen, leading 30,000 troops, to rush to the direction of Gannan one step ahead of the army, in order to cooperate with Xie Hongling's troops, and carry out front and rear flanking attacks on the fleeing ghost army.

In the morning of the same day, Gannan City.

The Linhe defense line was lost, and the ghost army fled all the way, gathering the remnants, and it was not until this time that they reached the city.

The formation of the ghost army can be described as messy, and the defeat of the battle and the hasty retreat have made the morale of the upper and lower levels low and tired.

There are even many people who are limp and look listless.

The commander of the ghost army rode at the front of the team, and after coming to the city, the deputy general next to him immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Don't hurry up and open the city!" ”

At the head of the city, what answered him was the sound of a continuous piece of armor rubbing, and the soldiers of Xuan stood up instantly, and they all bent their bows and arrows, pointing directly at the city.

Xie Hongling was dressed in armor, draped in a cloak, smashed the ground with a spear in his hand, and shouted coquettishly:

"This is the land of the Central Plains! Thieves are bold! Don't get off your horse yet! ”

Her voice is a very beautiful female voice, but in the ears of the ghost general, it is like a muffled hammer!

In addition, the bow and crossbow on the city pointed together, and the war horse under the crotch neighed, and the deputy general was shocked, pulling the reins tightly, and then looked at the main general, and said in a trembling voice: "General, this, this!" ”

"When did they get to Gannam!" The main general of the ghost army also had a gloomy and terrifying face.

As soon as he finished speaking, arrows were already being shot from the city.

"General, let's go!"

"Retreat! Rewind—"

With shouts, the lieutenant began to swing his scimitar desperately, blocking the arrows.

The sound of clanging came from time to time, and in such a situation, where did the ghost general dare to stay longer, and under the protection of many people, he hurriedly turned the horse's head.

The other ghost soldiers were also a little panicked, and began to retreat from the city one after another, and after retreating to a certain safe distance, the deputy general asked anxiously: "General, now that Gannan is occupied by the Xuan army, how can it be!" ”

"What else can I do!" The ghost general glared at him, and said angrily: "Only by storming this place!" If we don't break Gannan, we won't be able to go back! ”

"But, but general, our army doesn't have a ladder." The battle reached this point, and the lieutenant general was about to cry.

"What are you panicking about!? If there is no ladder, we will step up the cutting and production! Gannan's Xuan army must be the troops who rushed to cross the river last night, the number of people will not be too many, go quickly! ”

"Yes, yes......"

The ghost army now has no second way to go, the Linhe defense line behind him is lost, and the way back in front is blocked by Xie Hongling, so the only way to break through Gannan City is to break through Gannan City.

Under the orders of its commander, a large number of ghost troops began to run to the nearby mountains and forests, preparing to cut down trees to make ladders.

But on the side of the main force of the Xuan Army, how could he give him this time and opportunity.

It didn't take long at all, when the ghost army was logging in many places, Tan Zhen led 30,000 troops and pursued it here.

This is equivalent to chasing and killing, and after arriving, there is no nonsense at all, and the army directly pounces on it.

The war broke out suddenly, and the ghost army was somewhat caught off guard, and it was a big chaos, which can also be said to be hard-headed and forced to fight.

Seeing this, the young general of the Xuanjun army in the city couldn't help but say excitedly: "General Xie, the main force of our department is here!" ”

"Kaesong!" Xie Hongling didn't say a word, and directly mentioned the spear.
