Liu Yuan made a dojo in the snail shell, tossed back and forth in the enemy's encirclement, and with 3,000 people, he wiped out nearly 10,000 Hunan troops who surrounded and suppressed him, including a cavalry corps of 3,000 people, which made the entire hunting ground between Zhuzhou and Xiangtan undergo great changes. forced Ding Hao to adjust his strategy.

The most important of them was the elite of the five thousand Hunan cavalry led by Lu Yuan, who were completely attracted to it and began to pursue the Northern Tang army that was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace.

Originally, the attention of Ding Hao and the others all fell on Ren Xiaonian, and the first thing they did was to isolate the mutual echo between the three forces of the Northern Tang Dynasty, although they still maintain such a situation, there is no doubt that Liu Yuan's side can theoretically directly enter Xiangtan City after breaking through the two teams of Wei Dongsheng and Zhou Can.

Lu Yuan's departure immediately gave Ren Xiaonian's department more room for activity.

Standing in front of the map, Ren Xiaonian was silent for a long time, and below, all the generals were waiting for him to give orders.

The people present are all veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they know what the point of Liu Yuan doing this is.

Liu Yuan was using his entire team at the cost of winning the opportunity to join forces with Qin Kuan and enhance their strength.

In just one month, from the high spirits when he sent out the army to the current haggard, Ren Xiaonian seems to be more than ten years old.

Needless to say, being under siege, what is even more terrifying is that because of his action, it may cause the entire Right Qianniu Wei to be at risk. It is very likely that the other generals do not know the joints, but Ren Xiaonian is very clear.

Why did things turn out the way they did?

Ren Xiaonian couldn't think of it even if he wanted to break his head.

Why did Hunan, Jiangxi, and Lingnan abandon all their previous prejudices and reach an intimate cooperation in a short period of time? Why was Jiangxi able to adjust so quickly after the infighting? Where did Hunan come from with such great courage that it was willing to exchange the strategic situation of Yiyang's front line, which was likely to collapse as a whole, for the interests of Eyue?

He couldn't figure it out.

So now he's in danger.

He turned abruptly, his eyes red, and looked at the generals under his command.

There is no need to think about this anymore. All he had to think about now was how to do his best to keep this team alive. Liu Yuan used his excellent tactical ability to create a good opportunity for them.

Now, a considerable part of the Hunan army that encircled and suppressed and cut off Ren Xiaonian and Qin Kuan has turned to Liu Yuan's direction, and at this time, it is his best opportunity.

He didn't want to think about what Liu Yuan would encounter next, and as Lu Yuan's thousands of elite cavalry turned to Liu Yuan's direction, Liu Yuan's final outcome was already self-evident.

He must let Liu Yuan's efforts get the highest return.

"Ordered all the soldiers and horses to immediately move closer to Qin Kuan's headquarters. Liu Yuan has already set an example for us, no matter how many enemies there are, they are just chickens and dogs, as long as we do not lose confidence ourselves, then we can defeat the enemy. Ren Xiaonian said sharply.

"Kill!" Under the tent, all the generals shouted in unison.

I have to say that Liu Yuan's series of brilliant victories made everyone here a little desperate, but also burst out of infinite hope, if they can also be like Liu Yuan, a few back and forth, to destroy tens of thousands of enemy troops, then, crushing the enemy's encirclement this time, is not hopeless.

After a series of military orders were issued, when almost all the generals walked out of the Chinese army's tent and rushed to their respective troops, Ren Xiaonian let out a long sigh.

Liu Yuan won him a breath, but it was not clear how long this breath would last.

Liu Yuan may not know that in the direction of Zhuzhou, the 30,000 Lingnan and Jiangxi mixed troops led by the Lingnan general Ji Zhijiang have already entered the army, and Liu Xinda's troops may be thrown into the battle to encircle and suppress them at any time.

Although Liu Yuan annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, this could not change the overall situation.

The military order given to Qin Kuan was that he must occupy Tiaoziling within three days and capture a military fortress of the Hunan army there, so that they could be stationed after joining Qin Kuan. Then, with the geographical advantage of Tiaoziling, he was able to guard for a longer time, and waited for assistance from the rear.

He now pins all his hopes on the direction of Yiyang.

Lu Yuan's departure made the Hunan defense line in the direction of Yiyang show a big flaw, if Shi Zhuang can break through from the mouth of the Shuangjiang River, send a strong cavalry team, and go straight to the heart of Hunan, or can relieve the pressure on him here, so as to win time.

The only good news now is that in order to maintain the secrecy of the march, between Xiangtan and Zhuzhou, the Hunan army did not implement the strategy of clearing the wilderness, and the local people, who did not know this area at all, had become the focus of the wrestling between the two sides, which made the current Ren Xiaonian still able to raise some military rations.

All the fundraising is naturally just a euphemism, in fact, this time the Tang army took away everything they could find and eat. In the self-deprecating words of some Tang soldiers, they didn't even let go of the rat hole.

Tiaoziling, a Tang soldier crawls on the ground with difficulty. In his arms, he clutched a bag of explosives. Behind him, more than a dozen Tang soldiers who were covering him had already fallen in a pool of blood at this time.

Some of them were killed by stone projectiles from stone cannons, and some were killed by locust-like arrows.

Now, he is left alone.

Standing in front of him was a stone fort, guarding the only way to attack the Tiaoziling military fortress, and when this stone fort was breached, the terrain suddenly opened up. But it was this stone fort that had cost them hundreds of lives, and they still hadn't taken it.

Crawling forward step by step, blood oozed from his body and flowed to the ground, dragging a long trail of blood on the ground.

Behind him, his comrades were staring at him.

In front of him, the enemy in the fort was trying to kill this stubborn enemy.

From time to time, there was a clanging sound on the shield covered on his back, the sound of feathered arrows shooting on it.

A feathered arrow flew with a screeching sound.

There was a sharp pain in the soldier's bare calf, and the feathered arrow was nailed to his calf, piercing through the muscles and pinning him to the ground.

He screamed in pain and stopped crawling.

The enemies on the fort cheered.

The next moment, however, their laughter came to an abrupt end.

Because under their eyelids, the Tang soldier actually crawled forward again until he pulled the feather arrow out of the ground, and in this way, with the feather arrow, he approached the gate of the stone castle step by step.

"Shoot him!" The officer at the fort yelled, not knowing whether it was anger or fear.

"Attack, attack!" Qin Kuan snatched the military horn from the hands of the soldiers around him, mustered up all his strength, and blew it.

Some of the soldiers at the front roared out of their hiding places and launched another attack on the stone fort.

On top of the stone fort, all the feathered arrows and stone artillery carts had to turn the direction of their shooting.

The creeping soldier suddenly lifted off his shield, and out of nowhere, he jumped up, limped on one leg, and jumped three times and two times, and crawled to the gate of the stone fort.

The gate was thick, and within the thick planks was a thick stone slab. There was no place for him to put down the explosives bag, and if he had placed it at the bottom of the door, he would not have been able to destroy the almost wall-to-wall gate.

The soldier's face showed a look of determination. He pressed his body against the explosive bag, then reached into his arms, took out the fire fold, and in a flash, the flame ignited, and without the slightest hesitation, he lit the fuse. Then he half-turned, and while holding the explosive bag on his shoulder, he yelled at his comrades who were charging.

"Kill the enemy!"

There was a loud bang, smoke, and fire, and the figure of the Tang army disappeared into it, and the gate, after being exploded like this, finally collapsed in pieces.

Qin Kuan jumped up, "Kill in and kill all the enemies." ”

Tang Jun, whose eyes were red from the excitement of the scene just now, roared and rushed towards this stone fort with stone bullets and feather arrows that were raining down.

After a pillar of incense, the stone fort fell into the hands of the Tang army, and none of the enemies in the stone fort survived.

An hour later, the entire Tiaoziling was captured by Qin Kuan, and the enemy troops in the military village were slaughtered by Qin Kuan.

The Tang Army, who were in a desperate situation, showed their extremely violent side.

Two days later, Ren Xiaonian broke several ways to intercept his Hunan army, rushed to Tiaoziling, and joined Qin Kuan, at this time, all the people of the two divisions were less than 5,000 people together.

The first hero of the two divisions was undoubtedly Liu Yuan, who was still fighting independently at this time. He attracted Lu Yuan's 5,000 elite cavalry, bought the most precious time for Ren Xiaonian, and before Ji Zhijiang's tens of thousands of horses had time to arrive at the battlefield, they captured Tiaoziling and obtained a temporary shelter.

But at this moment, Liu Yuan has reached the most dangerous moment.

Lu Yuan's war experience was far from being comparable to Zhou Can. However, in a few days, he had already made Liu Yuan in danger several times, although he was lucky to get rid of it many times, but the god of luck would not favor Liu Yuan forever.

Because Ji Zhijiang has also arrived. Two huge cavalry teams began to squeeze Liu Yuan's living space from different directions. When he was sure that his front and back had been blocked by the enemy, Liu Yuan gave up all illusions.

That's pretty much it.

He's done everything he can.

In the end, all that was left was a desperate fight.

Killing one is enough, killing two earns one.

Liu Bu left more than 1,500 people and retreated to Guzhai Town.
