"Report!" A horse galloped and returned to the Great Commander.

Yuan Tianmu sounded like a Hong Zhong: "Speak!" ”

"King Qiqi! There were only a few empty camps of the Southern Army ahead, and one of the camps was burned. ”

"Empty camp?"

"Yes! A few of his subordinates dared to touch in, and there was no one in the camp. ”

Yuan Tianmu frowned: "How can this be?" Could it be ... Yang Yuanzhi has already defeated the Yuanhao thief army? He came from Qidi, and the news he got all the way was such as the southern army repeatedly attacking Xingyang, and Yang Yu was as stable as Mount Tai, even at this moment, he never had the idea that half of Xingyang had been lost.

"Probably so." Someone on the side laughed: "Otherwise, how could there be a camp in the thief camp for people to burn?" If this is said to be a plan for the thieves to ambush the soldiers, haha, this blue sky and white day, the four fields are open, where is the thief army hiding? ”

The ape arm bee waist who spoke, with a rebellious face, was none other than the general of the chariot cavalry, Er Zhuzhao. He was originally in Jinyang City, but before Er Zhurong was worried about the battle situation in Qingzhou, and because he was incompetent, he thought that Er Zhu Tu Wan'er had the courage of ten thousand people, and ordered him to lead a thousand elite horsemen and rush to serve in the Yuan Tianmu army. After Henan was in an emergency, Er Zhuzhao hurriedly went south with Yuan Tianmu and arrived here.

Er Zhuzhao consciously analyzed the reason, and was proud, but he didn't know that the burned camp was really just a masterpiece of Chen Qingzhi's "Burning the Camp".

Yuan Tianmu was puzzled, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Erzhu Tuwan'er, but his face sank, and he shouted at the sentry: "Stupid! Since there is no one in the camp, and Xingyang is close at hand, how can you not simply go to the city to find out? ”

The sentinel only promised, and even called it a capital crime. Yuan Tianmu waved his hand, and the sentry was like an amnesty, and hurriedly retreated. Yuan Tianmu looked at the direction of Xingyang City from afar, and said to himself: "The situation is unknown, so you should order the army to slow down... ”

Er Zhu Zhao has always been used to being domineering, and when he saw that Yuan Tianmu didn't care about him, he felt angry, and deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "The king of Shangdang said that the soldiers were fast and fast, and he was going to rush forward, and he ran out forty miles in one go, making the big guy tired and half dead. Now that Xingyang City is in front of you, why has it changed again? ”

Yuan Tianmu was full of thoughts, all the southern army was blocked under the city of Xingyang, so he did not hesitate to rush all the way forward, and the idea of a surprise attack from behind was a surprise, and at this moment he suddenly saw that the situation was not right, and he should have been cautious and slow, but he was sarcastically ridiculed by Er Zhuzhao, and couldn't help but retort: "The army is impermanent, how can it be generalized, when it changes, it changes." Be careful, there's nothing wrong with that. ”

Er Zhuzhao sneered: "What is a southern thief?" That is, in this Henan territory, he can play tricks, and in front of me and the iron horse, he is just a chicken and a dog. If he has been defeated, then it will be enough, if he is still on the ground of Xingyang, there is no need to say, my army has arrived, and he will be leveled in a moment. If the king of Shangdang is still worried, it's a big deal to divide half of my soldiers and horses, and I will go to Xingyang City for a walk! ”

Most of the generals around him are chieftains of Merge and Qihu, compared to Yuan Tianmu, they are more intimate with Er Zhuzhao in private, and because of the invincible war in the south and the north, when will they put the southern army in their eyes? Hearing this, they all laughed: "Tu Wan'er is arrogant!" I don't have to say, where my army came, I put down the southern thieves in a moment! ”

When Yuan Tianmu heard it, he was angry, and he was about to go crazy, and thought again: Two days ago, I heard that Xingyang was solid, it was impossible to be so coincidental. Thinking about it this way, most of the thief army has already retreated, so even if it advances quickly, it should be no big problem...

The chief general of Yuan Tianmu's first army was really unwilling to lose face in front of Erzhu Tu Wan'er, a junior, so he turned pale and said coldly: "Don't work hard to Tu Wan'er." The three armies are hurrying forward, and they all come with me! He took the lead and ran out.

Soon to the city of Xingyang, you can see countless flags on the city in the distance. They are all the black water banners with the word "Wei", waving in the wind, how to distinguish the southern army and the northern army?

When I looked at it again, the city was empty, the city gate was closed, and it looked like it was being strictly guarded. It stands to reason that if Yang Yu was in the city, he heard that Yuan Tianmu was coming, and Siye did not see any trace of the thief army, so he should have opened the city to greet him.

Yuan Tianmu was shocked, and unconsciously slowed down his horse's speed. Although Er Zhuzhao said that he was domineering, he was also a veteran of a hundred battles in the end, and when he saw Xingyang City in such a strange state, he didn't dare to say anything more.

Soon they were approaching the city wall, and suddenly they heard a drum sound, and a longing figure appeared on the city.

There is a nine-fold canopy bluff, there are axes and banners, and Yuan Hao's golden armor and golden helmet, standing tall in the center, laughing loudly: "Yuan Tianmu!" Why is it too late? ”

Yuan Tianmu was shocked: "Oh no! Xingyang has been lost! "I didn't dare to go forward, and my heart was full of thoughts: How could this be? How could it be such a coincidence, Xingyang City did not lose sooner or later, and I came and fell into the hands of the enemy... I was restless for a while, and my courage fell.

At the head of the city, Chen Qingzhi raised his right hand slightly, and countless southern troops on the city wall drew bows and arrows, pointing to the city below.

The sound of noses and horses' hooves was endless, and the northern army invariably pulled their horses back. Yuan Tianmu retreated more than ten zhang, and was expected to be outside the range of the city, but the horse stopped, but he heard the horse's hooves in his ears, and he galloped past his side, but it turned out to be Erzhu Zhao.

Yuan Tianmu couldn't help but sneer: "Where is Tu Wan'er going?" "Don't make a joke.

When Er Zhu Zhao heard this, he hurriedly reined in his horse, and when he turned around, he was already red-faced, and he was embarrassed for a while, and he couldn't help but point to the head of Xingyang City and scold: "The southern thief is rampant!" provoked you and me, and went to the city with a drum, and peeled off all your skin and bones! ”

Although Er Zhuzhao said this, in fact, his heart was weak--- one of them, suddenly saw the fall of Xingyang, and all the strategies he had made before were in the soup, and the morale of the army was inevitably low; The two, only 20,000 horses, the number of people suffered first, although it is an elite cavalry, the field battle is not conducive to the siege of the city; Three, their own army rushed forty miles to this point, long because of the lack of people and horses, if it is just a sneak attack from behind, it is called easy, if you want to attack the fortified city, the chance of victory is not great.

There is no need to ridicule each other on the head of the city, Yuan Tianmu first said to himself: "What kind of advantage is there to fight for in this mouth? Tu Wan'er is like this, and he laughs in vain. For today's plan, I had to retreat and go back first, rest and recuperate, join the rear army of the Chinese army, and then try to Xingyang. ”

When Er Zhu Zhao heard this, he became more and more embarrassed, just because he lost the opportunity, and it was not good to argue with Yuan Tianmu again, so he had to spread his anger to the head of Xingyang City: "Southern thief! Are you as timid as a mouse, and you only dare to defend the city, so that you are rampant? If you have the ability to go out of the city to fight, you will be convinced! ”

As soon as the words fell, the squeak and crunch wheel shaft turned, the east gate of Xingyang City was opened, and a team and a column of armored soldiers continued to drive out, and the crowd seemed to be endless.

After a while, when the southern army stood in formation, I saw that the left and right armies were all wearing black armor, deep and determined; The first army of China stood tall in front of them, all wearing white robes, bright and eye-catching. The seven armies came out together, as vast as a cloud, and all of them were distinctly arrayed, and the momentum was amazing!

What the? The Southern Army really came out of Kaicheng?

This... Is this going to be a field battle with our army? How dare the Southern Army be so bold? Don't you know the prestige of my and the Iron Rider?

The cluster of white-robed soldiers at the head of the Southern Army should be what kind of white-robed army? I heard that he and others only had 7,000 people, invincible all the way, invincible, and successively defeated more than 100,000 troops of our Great Wei, and even took Suiyang, Kaocheng, Daliang, and now Xingyang... At this moment, it seems that the array is indeed like a strong army...

The Southern Army is so fearless, most of them have a backhand, and it is not advisable to stay here for a long time!

The Northern Army was trembling, everyone was shocked, each had their own concerns, and no one knew what to do.

Er Zhu Zhao was dumbfounded: This... This, this... Is this really me shouting out loud?

Today's events are full of weirdness, Yuan Tianmu was already restless, and at this time, he felt that there seemed to be a providence in the dark: Is it destined to be unsmooth this time?
