Liaodong Iron Cavalry from Shandong to Xuzhou, looking at the south of the Yangtze River, this line of soldiers and horses can be described as eyeing the tiger.

When the troops approached Xuzhou, Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu set up the camp, and then sent scouts to the south, closely watching the movements in Jiangnan.

This Jiangnan crisis, Huainan Province and Lingnan Province attacked Jiangnan at the same time, Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu both thought that this was an excellent opportunity, and it was too important for the Liaodong Army to seize this opportunity, if the Liaodong Army took Shandong, it could continue to go south to swallow Jiangnan into its belly, and then attack Huainan again, then half of the east would fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army, and the pattern of dominating the world would also be initially laid.

Long Lingxiu, Tan Lei and the generals of the Liaodong Army were discussing in the tent, Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zheng, this child, this time I am afraid that this time it is enough for him to drink a pot, Huainan Sun Chongwen and Lingnan Bai respect, both of them are people who have accumulated half a lifetime of family wealth."

The two of them attacked Jiangnan from the north and south, and the lives of Jiangnan were probably going to be destroyed! Even if Lu Zheng has three heads and six arms, I am afraid that he will have to flee north to the capital in the end, will he take refuge in Song Laosan again? Long Lingxiu said, her face full of smiles, as if she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Tan Lei said: "It's hard to say, what I'm thinking about now is that the Nanfu Army has 50,000 horses in Yuzhou, how can these 50,000 horses go back?" Could it be that they are going to attack Huainan through Shandong, or will they go south from the capital to the south through the canal? ”

Long Lingxiu laughed and said, "Borrowing Shandong, is General Tan willing to borrow it?" I'm afraid Lu Zheng will have to say hello to you and me first! ”

Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei laughed together, both of them were extremely relaxed, Jiangnan was in trouble, they marched into Xuzhou, watching from a distance, as long as Jiangnan changed, Liaodong Iron Cavalry could enter Jiangnan within a day, and even if they wanted to take millet from the fire, they could calmly advance and retreat.

The two bosses were in a happy mood, and the generals under them were also very relaxed, although the Liaodong Army from the southeast of the mountain this time was only more than 20,000 people, but there were 10,000 elite cavalry among the more than 20,000 people, and such cavalry could be ten on the Jiangnan Plain.

Therefore, whether it is Long Lingxiu or Tan Lei, they have absolute confidence that as long as Jiangnan changes, they will definitely be able to reap huge benefits.

"The only thing I'm worried about now is that Jiangnan will collapse too quickly, if the Sun family and the Bai family are allowed to take Jinling too easily, and the two of them will divide Jiangnan up in the future, there will be nothing to do with us!" The dragon spirit shows a quiet way.

As soon as Long Lingxiu's words fell, an urgent report came from outside, and several scouts rushed into the camp tent, and the camp tent was busy.

The scout was invited to the tent, and a scout knelt on the ground and said: "Return to the general, return to Her Royal Highness the princess, there are urgent changes in the battle situation in Jiangnan, Sun Chongwen led 100,000 troops to commit Chenzhou, and Lu Zheng of the Nanfu army personally led the army to meet the enemy, and defeated Sun Chongwen's army outside Chenzhou City, Sun Chongwen's army has returned to the Sky Cliff and camped, and more than half of the 100,000 army has been lost!" ”

"How is that possible?" Tan Lei was shocked, he opened his eyes wide and said, "This ...... This is just nonsense, how is this possible? Does Lu Zheng have three heads and six arms? With the tens of thousands of horses of his Nanfu army, can he defeat Sun Chongwen in Chenzhou? ”

Long Lingxiu was also stunned, she subconsciously stood up and said, "How many casualties did Lu Zheng's Nanfu army have?" ”

The scout said: "According to our intelligence, Lu Zheng broke the water of the Huai River, drowned Sun Chongwen twice, and cut the Huainan army into several sections, and then swept with cavalry. Sun Chongwen was defeated, and the losses of the Nanfu army were polar, if it was calculated according to the number of people, I am afraid that the number of men and horses of the Nanfu army would increase instead of decreasing. I'm afraid that the prisoners of the Huainan army must be as many as thousands! ”

Long Lingxiu was speechless in a daze, and after a while, she laughed and said, "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng!" You're still so unpredictable. Okay, this palace never convinces people, just obey your surname Lu!

Beautiful! Sun Chongwen's 100,000 army went south, thinking that he was going to capture Jinling, but it was defeated before it reached Chenzhou, it was really humiliating, too humiliating, such a straw bag dared to be the king, and dared to covet the world? ”

Long Lingxiu paused and continued: "The current situation is really getting more and more interesting, just now I was worried that Jiangnan is vulnerable, now it's okay, Lu Zheng has this battle, and then we can prepare to pick peaches with peace of mind!" ”

Long Lingxiu laughed, smiling extremely proudly, Tan Lei said: "If Lu Zheng is really so smooth, will he take into account our existence?" If the Bai family is also so vulnerable, do we still want to cross the Yellow River? ”

Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zhengni Bodhisattva crossed the river, it is difficult to protect himself, will he still keep an eye on us Shandong all the time?" Don't worry, we will wait in Xuzhou, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight! ”

Long Lingxiu made a decision immediately, and the other soldiers in the tent were in an extremely relaxed mood, however, at the moment when everyone in the tent was discussing the matter, a melodious horn suddenly sounded in the distance.

The horn sounded, the horse's hooves sounded, Tan Lei's face changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Quick, go back to the tent, go to the city tower immediately, and see who is coming!" ”

After all, Tan Lei is a veteran of Liaodong and a first-class figure, and he knew that the crisis was coming in an instant, so he quickly climbed the tower.

Looking forward from the castle tower, the sky in the distance kicked up a cloud of dust, and then I saw the cavalry in the distance rushing towards it like a storm and clouds.

The cavalry came, the flag was flying, the flag was the banner of the Dakang Army, and the word "willow" was written on the banner, Tan Lei blurted out: "It's Liu Song, the general of the Nanfu Army!" This is Lu Zheng's military horse, and it is the Yuzhou army! ”

Liu Song led the military horses to suddenly come to the city of Xuzhou, which was really shocking, Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu looked at each other, and couldn't believe their eyes.

How is this possible? Under such circumstances, in this situation, Lu Zheng actually asked Liu Song to attack the Liaodong Army? Is this what Lu Zheng means or is Liu Song making his own opinion?

At this moment, they have no way to verify this matter, the enemy is currently encountered, and the two sides are encountered, and they can only accept this battle. However, this place in Xuzhou is just a small city, and the city defense is very unbearable. What's more, Tan Lei didn't expect to fight in Xuzhou at all, so he didn't have adequate defensive equipment.

And the most important point, that is, since Tan Lei, the generals in the army are not psychologically prepared for battle, everyone is in a hurry to go into battle, the enemy is a deliberate surprise attack, and the Liaodong Army is in a hurry to catch the ducks on the shelf. The result of this collision between the two sides can be imagined......

Liu Song had nearly 60,000 horses, and the cavalry in front of him came to kill him, and after the soldiers came to the city, they continued to throw arrows at the city wall, and then the infantry behind pushed the ladder siege carts and catapults. From the very beginning of this battle, the Nanfu army played a momentum like a tiger, so it occupied the absolute upper hand as soon as the war began.

At the time of the crisis, Tan Lei personally stood on the city wall to defend it, and the Liaodong army fought to the death and did not retreat, fighting to the death, fighting for several hours, until the sky darkened, the two sides were killed and injured each other, and Liu Songming Jin retreated.

The Liaodong Army gathered in the tent overnight, this time, everyone in the whole army was not as relaxed and comfortable as before, Long Lingxiu's face was very ugly, she said: "Is Lu Zheng crazy?" He must be crazy, he is smashing our Liaodong Army at this time, he ...... He...... How unreasonable he is! ”

The duke, who had not spoken, said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the matter has come to this, we have to think about it calmly, Lu Zheng's Jiangnan is in trouble, Liu Song wants to return to help, in this case, it is the most effective strategy to take Huainan through Shandong, and encircle Wei to save Zhao."

He knew that His Highness refused to borrow the way, and begged His Highness in tone, it was better to speak directly with the soldiers, we were too hasty in this battle, it was really not good! ”

Tan Lei slapped the table fiercely and said, "It's all my fault for being careless!" To deal with a cunning person like Lu Zheng, any carelessness requires a huge price! Today's price is a bit too great! For today's plan, we can only retreat from the north gate overnight, and after being broken off by an army, we will retreat to 200 miles away overnight and return to Shandong, so that we can be safe! ”

"Retreat?" Long Lingxiu raised his eyebrows and said: "As soon as he retreats at this time, Liu Song's morale is even stronger, he takes the opportunity to press up, and he can quickly go directly to Huainan on the official road of Shandong, and our Liaodong Army is afraid that it will be laughed at by the world!" ”

Long Lingxiu paused, and said: "We have 10,000 elite horsemen, why don't we attack the enemy's tent tonight, take advance as retreat, first fight with the Nanfu army with real swords and guns, let them be frustrated, and then we retreat calmly, and at the same time repair the book and transfer the troops, the two sides will be in the Xuzhou area, and Liu Song will be contained in Xuzhou, I want to see how long Lu Zheng can hold on!" ”

Tan Lei sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness, your idea is indeed good, but since Lu Zheng let Liu Song attack us, he doesn't necessarily need Liu Song to save him!"

I think that in Lu Zheng's eyes, I am afraid that Sun Chongwen and Bai Jingzhong have not been put in his eyes, what he has been staring at is our Liaodong Army, hey, I should have thought of this a long time ago, one mistake fell into passivity, and it was really difficult to reverse the situation! ”

Tan Lei stomped his feet fiercely, he was really in a dilemma at this time, if he retreated, the morale of the Liaodong Army would fall, and he would not be able to get any benefits. But if he wants to fight, in today's contact, he found that Liu Song of the Nanfu Army is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He now only has 20,000 horses in his hands, and his family is 50,000 or 60,000 horses, how can he fight? Tan Lei is a famous general in Liaodong, and he is extremely nervous at this time, he is really in a dilemma!

In the end, Tan Lei could only accept Long Lingxiu's suggestion, attack the enemy camp at night first, and then retreat, if not, directly retreat and the other party pressed up to fight, it is very likely that he will not be able to retreat!

"Fu Liang, you order five hundred elite soldiers to escort the princess back north!" Tan Lei issued his first military order, Fu Liang received the order, and then quickly organized five hundred elites to escort Long Lingxiu out of the city through the north gate, and at the same time, Tan Lei also mobilized his henchmen and led his 10,000 elite soldiers to pounce on Liu Song.

In the Liusong army, the lights are dim at night, look at the camp tent, neatly and neatly, Tan Lei asked his subordinates to wrap the grass on the horses' hooves, and rushed all the way over, and then scattered the queue, the horn sounded suddenly, and the cavalry quickly charged and swept towards the camp tent in front.

Tan Lei's attack, the momentum is very fierce, the bravery of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry can be said to be vividly reflected, Tan Lei himself is the first soldier, rushing to the front, charging all the way to the enemy camp, Tan Lei used a spear to pick open the camp tent, but found that there were no ghosts in the camp tent, and there was no one.

His heart sank instantly, it was really cold, and he quickly shouted: "It's not good, the whole army is retreating, and it's a trick!" ”

At this time, only a few cannons were heard on the hill in front of him, and then he saw a round of feather arrows in the sky shooting down, and Tan Lei's cavalry suffered many casualties.

Because it is night, the chaos in the army can no longer be regularized, the horn sounded, but it was a signal to march, obviously, the enemy has mastered the horn tune in Tan Lei's army, which made the cavalry lose ground, Tan Lei was really angry that a Buddha was born, and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.

At this moment, he could only use the torches of the cavalry as a banner to reluctantly bring out part of the cavalry. Until the sky gradually brightened, he was about to lead his troops to Xuzhou, and saw that the banner of the word "willow" had been planted at the head of Xuzhou City.

Besides, Long Lingxiu was escorted north by five hundred elite soldiers, and he was also very cautious along the way, only taking the official road, and there was nothing to do at night, and he walked about fifty or sixty miles, and the sky gradually brightened.

The sky was dark, a group of men and horses continued to walk forward, before they had gone ten miles away, they rushed down a group of cavalry on the hillside in front of the road, and the cavalry came suddenly, directly surrounded the five hundred men and horses, and the leader was a bearded general, only to see him laugh, and said:

"Wait for the Liaodong Army to listen, we are the Great Kangnan Mansion Army, and we are waiting for you here today, just to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to come with us!"

Fu Liang, the general of the Liaodong Army, changed his face drastically, and he wanted to fight back, but Long Lingxiu stepped down from the car and stopped him and said, "General Fu, since they have already laid an ambush, I'm afraid General Tan is also in a crisis situation at this time!" Liu Songqi had never heard of his name before, but the use of soldiers was indeed not to be underestimated!

This battle was defeated, Long Lingxiu was willing to go with the Nanfu army to meet their General Liu for a while, and then quickly retreated, trying to save General Tan! ”

After Long Lingxiu finished speaking, he said to the enemy general: "I am Long Lingxiu, I am willing to follow you!" ”

Long Lingxiu abandoned the chariot, found a horse to sit on, and followed the cavalry of the Nanfu Army to the south. When she arrived in Xuzhou, she knew that the city had changed owners, no need to ask, Tan Lei fell into the trap of the other party in the first battle last night, maybe it was already more auspicious.

Long Lingxiu couldn't help but sigh and muttered: "General Tan's defeat lies in the obsession of this palace!" If it weren't for the palace's insistence on a night attack, why would there be such a defeat? ”

At this moment, Long Lingxiu's intestines were as uncomfortable as ashes, she went down from the southeast of Shandong, thinking of going down to the south of the Yangtze River to reap benefits, and robbing while the fire was burning, she was still in Xuzhou, so she was calculated by Lu Zheng, such a failure is really unforgivable!!
