After listening to Qin Sheng's words, Zhang Shumo immediately sent Lu Li to keep an eye on the situation in the next city.

At this time, Chen Lin suggested to Zhang Shumo: "Zhang Gongzi, although the infantry of the Wuxiu Army suffered heavy losses this time, the cavalry was relatively intact. General Pang is brave and good at fighting, and he also served in the Northern Route Army before, so he is very familiar with the terrain of Dieling Pass. It is better for Gongzi to send General Pang to leave with the cavalry first, in case the battle situation at Dieling Pass is anxious, General Pang can also support in time. ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Chen Lin and then at Pang Yuan. Chen Lin's suggestion Zhang Shumo didn't think about it, but now that the battle situation of Dieling Pass is unknown, the Mahua troops will definitely support Dieling Pass after stabilizing their position in the next city, and sending Pang Yuan alone at this time will undoubtedly put Pang Yuan in danger.

If Ji Wen hadn't captured Dieling Pass, then Pang Yuan could have helped Leng Yu share the pressure in the past, but if he was not careful, Pang Yuan would be able to be surrounded by Ma Hua and Ji Wen. If Ji Wen had already captured Dieling Pass, then Pang Yuan was actually exploring the way for the large army in the past, and any dangers and ambushes on the road might make Pang Yuan have no way back.

Whatever happens, it will put Pang Yuan in a dangerous situation, but from the perspective of the big picture, doing so will undoubtedly help the entire battle situation a lot!

Everyone present is experienced in the battlefield, and naturally understands the truth, Chen Lin is asking Zhang Shumo to sacrifice the small self to achieve the big self! So everyone looked at Zhang Shumo, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Chen Lin also silently made up his mind in his heart: if Zhang Shumo chooses to take into account the overall situation this time and sacrifice the interests of Wu Xiujun, it means that he is a broad-minded master, and he will help him achieve great things with all his heart!

Zhang Shumo actually wanted to take care of the overall situation in his heart, but Pan Feng's death gave him a big blow. Is it right that these people are born and die for themselves, and they themselves push them to the brink?

Pang Yuan looked at Zhang Shumo's eyes and understood his inner thoughts. So he took the initiative to say: "Zhang Gongzi, the last general is willing to lead the troops to Dieling Pass, please give an order!" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Pang Yuan, his eyes flickered, and he nodded heavily: "Okay!" There is General Laupang! ”

Pang Yuan received the order and immediately left with the cavalry.

On the other side, Ma Hua rushed to the next city with his troops. Although defeated, Ma Hua was not confused. The current battle situation of Dieling Pass is not clear, in case Ji Wen has not captured Dieling Pass, then the next city will become the only foothold of Jingguo's army, so Ma Hua must ensure that the next city is foolproof.

But Ma Hua also understood that after he retreated, the Huaiguo Coalition Army would definitely go to support Dieling Pass as soon as possible, so he had to inform Ji Wen as soon as possible to prevent him from being attacked on his back.

So, when the army was about to arrive at the next city, Ma Hua ordered the deputy general to return to the next city with more than 10,000 infantry, and told the deputy general to hold out. Then he took the cavalry to Dieling Pass to explain the situation to Ji Wen.

In the Dieling Pass, Leng Yu and his men were blocked at the gate of the city, he couldn't remember how many enemy attacks he had repelled, he only knew that his legs had begun to tremble, and it was estimated that it would not take long to lose his strength.

But Leng Yu didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, because he knew that there was no way back behind him. Unlike other cities, Dieling Pass is a military fortress, so there are no streets and alleys, only a few barracks for soldiers to rest and a huge school field. Therefore, as long as the enemy is allowed in, the few inferior Western Route Army will definitely be wiped out!

Hao Yang was also panting outside the Dieling Pass, at this time the sky was slightly dark, and the Jingguo soldiers had only rested for two hours from last night to now, and they were already exhausted and had no intention of attacking the city at all. But Hao Yang didn't dare to ask Ji Wen to withdraw his troops, so he could only let the soldiers rest for a while, and then continue to attack the city!

At this moment, Hao Yang heard a buzzing sound behind him, and he knew that it was the sound of a large group of cavalry galloping when he heard it. Hao Yang was shocked, worried that it was the enemy's cavalry, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to withdraw to protect Ji Wen.

Ji Wen was originally scolding and scolding his subordinates for attacking the city, but when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, he was also startled, and immediately ordered someone to recall Hao Yang.

Yang Xue was also anxious, it was his own idea to attack Dieling Pass, he never thought that Ji Wen had led people to fight for so long, and he didn't fight it down. If enemy support arrives in the rear, there is really no way to escape now!

Hao Yang withdrew to Ji Wen's side in time and ordered his men to set up a formation to prevent the enemy from attacking. Ji Wen asked inappropriately: "Hao Yang, why didn't you beat the Dieling Pass after fighting for so long!" ”

"Back to the prince, our soldiers haven't rested much since last night, and even their iron bodies can't bear it. Some soldiers can't even hold their weapons, how can they fight the enemy? ”

Ji Wen couldn't speak when he heard it, so he had to scold Yang Xue: "It's all your bad idea, you have to storm Dieling Pass, now you can end up in a dilemma, if the enemy kills, Lao Tzu will be the first to kill you!" ”

Yang Xue hurriedly knelt on one knee: "It's all the concubines who are reckless, it's not a pity for the concubines to die, it's just that the concubines don't want to affect the prince." If the enemy army is attacked, the concubine will drag the enemy army with a group of men and horses, and let Hao Yang escort the prince to retreat! ”

After a while, the cavalry behind him was already approaching Ji Wen's troops, and Hao Yang recognized the leader Ma Hua at a glance, and shouted happily: "Lord Wang, it's General Ma Hua, not the enemy army!" ”

Ma Hua hurriedly came to Ji Wen, and before he had time to salute, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, let's go, the enemy's army is coming!" His subordinates and Shao Qin failed to stop the enemy army, and Shao Qin had already died in battle! After the subordinates led the troops to withdraw to the next city, they brought the cavalry to report to the prince, and on the way the subordinates met the cavalry of the Wu Xiu Army, which was less than ten miles away from here, and it was estimated that their army was nearby! ”

It turned out that Ma Hua was on the way to Dieling Pass with his cavalry, and he happened to meet Pang Yuan's troops. Pang Yuan saw that many of the Mahua people did not dare to fight hard, so he asked a team of cavalry to run behind him, and at the same time he stepped forward to provoke Mahua.

When Ma Hua saw it, he felt that Pang Yuan was tired, thinking that the cavalry that had just left was going to move the rescuers, so Pang Yuan deliberately provoked himself and wanted to be fooled. So Ma Hua took it for granted that the Huaiguo Coalition Army was nearby, and hurriedly urged his subordinates to rush to Dieling Pass to report to Ji Wen.

When Ji Wen heard this, he panicked and shouted to his subordinates: "Quick! Mingjin withdraws his troops and withdraws to the next city! ”

Yang Xue narrowed her eyes, and then knelt down to Ji Wen: "The prince must not return to the next city!" Now that the enemy has bumped into Mahua, they will definitely guess that we are going to withdraw our troops. If they set up an ambush on their way back to the next city, we'll be wiped out! Now that Ma Hua is coming with cavalry, why don't we no longer attack the Dieling Pass, only by laying down the Dieling Pass, can the prince sit back and relax! ”
