Xiao An crossed the river and reined in his mount. Wait for the men behind to continue coming. Xiao An commanded an army of 30,000. The army is mighty. Seeing most of the past. The scout horse sent to hear the news suddenly galloped to report it. There are countless camps outside the city of Qixian. It is the banner of Tang characters. Look far away. But there are faint lights at the head of Qi County. There was not a single sound of fighting.

Xiao An was suspicious. The general of Qi County, who had called the news, asked, "Xu Jing. When you came to see General Ben. What is the situation in the city?"

Xu Jing hugged his fists and said, "Return to the general. At that time, the Don army was besieging the city. The killing was fierce. Boiling and reversing."

Xiao An thought for a moment. Then he asked the scout he had sent out, "What is the situation as you see it?"

The probe said, "General. There were sentinel patrols outside the camp of Innatang. Therefore, the lowly did not dare to get too close. Humblely dismounted. Sneak closer. I only faintly heard the sound of laughter in the camp. And I saw piles of bonfires burning in front of some tents. Looks like you're cooking and eating. So I hurried back to report it."

Xiao An listened. Horses in place. Tap the saddle with a whip. Lost in thought.

Qi County Chengzhong. Luo Shifeng turned off the lights. Protected by two large shields. Leaning on the disc wall, he quietly watched the movement under the city. Somewhat inexplicable: "The gate of the North City is still in the hands of the Tang Army. It's all about the sharp arrows of the urn city, and don't want to splash it out like money. only to block his offensive forcefully. Why did the Tang army suddenly stop attacking. He encamped outside the city. Make a fire to cook rice. Here's what it's about."

I heard that the war was going on for a while. Worried to rush to the head of the city to visit Yang Cheng, Chinese Wu looked at the movement outside the city, and it was also a little inexplicable. A few people got together and muttered for a long time. Only then did he say to Luo Shifeng: "General. Siege is not easy. The city is not troubled. Could it be that the Tang Army wants to trap our Qi County to death."

Luo Shifeng smiled dumbly: "How is it possible. The Southern and Northern Expeditionary armies penetrated deep into our Khitan country. There are no reinforcements, no food or grass; He wants to take my Qi County. Only the battle is decided. Set up camp here in a besieged city. How unreasonable. My Khitan reinforcements are coming soon. Duan Mingyu is stupid. Are all his generals stupid? A madman wouldn't make such a choice."

Several civil and military officers looked at each other. I can't say why. I had to nervously say, "So. The Tang people must have some insidious poisonous plan. Generals must be careful."

Luo Shifeng frowned. And gently stretched. Said: "Tang people's manners. Contrary to common sense. General Ben also felt . There must be deception in it. Merely...... Hum. Ignore him. This general responds to all changes with the same. Wait for reinforcements to arrive. The Tang people are full of wisdom. How can a grasshopper shake a tree? Summons the order to go down. Heavily guarded. Waiting for reinforcements."

"General Xiao. My general Luo has thousands of instructions. It is said that the Tang army concentrated 50,000 troops to storm Qi County. There were less than 10,000 people in the city. I'm afraid it won't last a long time. How can the general stand still and support the army. Saving soldiers is like fighting fire. General."

Because Xiao An didn't move forward. Xu Jing knelt on one knee in front of Pan Zhong. Painful words. A worried coach and anxious. Xiao An's eyes were blazing. He said in a deep voice: "Qi County doesn't have to be saved. Look at the situation. Qi County must have fallen into the hands of Duan Mingyu. Tang Jun Xinsheng. Morale is like a rainbow. And the soldiers are all over the generals. The plan of the day. The only way to return to Youzhou is to return to Youzhou first. Make up your mind again."

Xu Jing was "shocked" and hurriedly said: "General. Then what about my General Luo."

Xiao An looked back in the direction of Xiong County. Said lightly: "If General Luo hadn't broken through and escaped. I'm afraid I'm already martyred at this moment. Let's go."

"The general can't go, wow."

Xu Jing jumped up and grabbed the reins of his horse. He pleaded bitterly, "General. Taking advantage of the fact that the Tang army was not firmly established. The moment of sudden killing will be over. Maybe you can catch him off guard. Rescue my general."

"Fart."

Xiao An pointed at Xu Jing with a horsewhip. He shouted, "They have even set up camps. The rice is cooked. You also say that you are not on a stable footing."

The adjutant general also said, "Lord Xiao. Qi County has been lost. Our army is inferior to the enemy. Let's go back to Baoyouzhou. Otherwise, the root will be lost. I am afraid that your lord will also be punished by General Jerod."

Xiao An said: "What the general said is very true. Herald. Return to Youzhou."

The order was handed down. The rear team of Xiao An's army became the front team. The front team becomes the back team. Began to return to Youzhou. Although this army is well trained. But they made a hurried march all the way here. All of a sudden, it's going back again. Troop Transfers. Forward and backward conversion. I can't help but feel a bit of confusion. Especially the soldiers heard that Xiongxian had been lost. The general returned without a fight. Morale is inevitably low.

It's making a mess. Listen to a trumpet. When I came, there were countless people and horses suddenly killed in the forest on the hillside not far from the shore. Straight to the edge of the bridge. Xiao An was shocked: "It's not good. There are ambushes. River. Hurry up and cross the river."

Duan Mingyu is not easy to match. When he was determined to attack Qi County. It has been understood that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Qixian are horns of each other. Support each other and take care of each other. The defenses made are watertight. At that time, he had already decided to send Ge Cong Zhou. Shang let the two henchmen go all the way. One route is Xu Jing as the pioneer. Fight first. Then Xu Jing pretended to be a Khitan Han army to ask for help. In the end, Shang Rang blocked Xiao An's men and horses. And at this time, it attacked Qi County. No matter what the cost. This first battle. Must win.

This one. Shang Rang's army was still lying in ambush on the side of the Fuding Bridge as originally planned. His serial scheme. This is just the first ring.

Xiao An Zhongfu. It's just as the army is turning its head. Prepare for the critical moment of retreat to Youzhou. Morale is low and the formation is chaotic. was led by Shang Rang to lead the army to rush. Immediately killed a surprise. The three armies are in turmoil. Suddenly, another group of soldiers appeared. The banner is Luo Shifeng. Xiao An was afraid. Could it be that Luo Shifeng also surrendered to the Tang army. Xiao An was even more unintentional under the horror. Immediately break through in the direction of Youzhou. The coach fled. For a time, the army was defeated. The entire army of Xiao An rushed to Youzhou like a stream. Running, riding, riding. It's just a matter of who's running fastest. The sword and the gun were abandoned.

At this time. Under the city of Qixian County. It's already a killing voice. In the end, Luo Shifeng's soldiers were defeated and awarded the head.

Yelufeng was shocked to hear that Xiao An was defeated. And Luo Shifeng also surrendered to the Tang army. Immediately put the whole city on alert. Qi County is lost. Youzhou City is helpless on all sides. Even His Majesty's reinforcements had to fight through the blockade to support Youzhou. Duan Mingyu really came. The Great Army of the Don Army was stationed outside the city. The three armies looked far away. Endless. Stationed all the way to the banks of the Sorghum River. The Tang army is coming. Don't dare to slack off. Patrol the city. To think something through. Under the careful construction of this Khitan general. The already invulnerable city was replenished with 20,000 soldiers and horses. Eighty thousand.

Outside the city, the Tang army was nearly 200,000 troops. Ten Mile Company Camp. Mighty. Such as iron walls and copper walls.
