However, the mountain road was rugged, so hurry up and hurry, and it was already dusk when we arrived.

Seeing Cao Xiaoda restraining his war horse outside the door, Cui Hongdu showed a relaxed look on his face. Cao Xiaoda is known for his steadiness and prudence no matter what he says, so when he saw Cao Xiaoda, Cui Hongdu's heart was also relieved.

"Where's General Helou?" Cao Xiaoda walked over quickly, only to see Cui Hongdu coming out alone to greet him, and immediately understood, "Has he not led the army to retreat?" ”

Cui Hongdu smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't greet Cao Xiaoda politely at this juncture: "Before, General He Lou reported that he had arrived in Liushugou, and then there was no news at all, and it has been three or four hours now, how can it not make people anxious!" ”

Cao Xiaoda gasped, the situation was obviously more difficult than he imagined. Before he came, he had also seen the map, and he had a rare impression of the place of Liushugou, and I have to say that He Louzigan chose a very correct entry point, but the more such an entry point, the easier it is to provide opportunities for Li Xinchen to set a trap.

It seems that He Louzigan is attacking and Li Xinchen is defending, but He Louzigan's offensive position is determined, and Li Xinchen's possible defensive position is uncertain, so this battle is definitely not as simple as a simple attack.

What's more, from Liushugou to this side, it is at most a two-hour journey, and He Louzigan has not sent back news for so long, indicating that there is a chance that something has happened.

Cao Xiaoda walked quickly into the meeting hall: "How many soldiers and horses are there here?" ”

Cui Hongdu hurriedly replied: "There are still 3,000 people left to guard the checkpoints, but these soldiers and horses are guarding the critical places, and they are ······."

Cui Hongdu didn't continue, and Cao Xiaoda had roughly understood that it was obvious that the generals guarding the checkpoints everywhere were also He Louzigan's cronies, and Cui Hongdu couldn't command at all, let alone let them obey Cao Xiaoda, an outsider, and it was an outsider that everyone didn't like very much.

Cao Xiaoda frowned slightly, obviously the current situation had exceeded his expectations, and it was obvious that there was no way to mobilize these soldiers and horses, if Cao Xiaoda wanted to support He Louzigan, he could only draw troops and horses from his own command.

You must know that compared with He Louzigan, Cao Xiaoda has fewer soldiers and horses, and once dispatched, it is a matter of transferring from the south to the north, and I don't know how many lawsuits have to be fought during this period, and now Cao Xiaoda has no such leisure at all.

Of course, if Cao Xiaoda resolutely asked for the transfer of troops, these generals of He Louzi would not really stop him.

"Willow Ditch ······" Cao Xiaoda muttered and repeated.

Faintly, he felt that he had understood why Li Xinchen had concentrated on He Louzigan's defense area first.

There is such a natural ambush place north of Liushugou, and it is a short-tempered person like He Louzigan sitting in the town, which is the best choice for Li Xinchen to lure the snake out of the hole after beating the grass and startling the snake.

Compared with He Louzigan, Cao Xiaoda prides himself on being steady, and he also knows that if he encounters such a situation, the more likely choice is to send a large number of scouts to explore the way, and at the same time shrink the defense and strengthen the connection between the remaining levels, rather than taking the initiative to attack in order to be able to catch Li Xinchen in this vast mountain.

Even Cao Xiaoda suspects that Li Xinchen not only calculated He Louzigan, but even himself is in his trap, for example, now Cao Xiaoda has to think about a question, that is, whether he should rescue He Louzigan.

If it can be saved, nine times out of ten it will fall into Li Xinchen's serial trap, if it is not saved, wouldn't it be a let He Louzi's cadres fend for themselves, and when the time comes, the whole army will really be wiped out, and Cao Xiaoda has no way to explain to Wei Chi Hui and Wei Xiaokuan.

"Without further ado, now gather all the generals who can be summoned, and we must tell them about this situation." Cao Xiaoda said in a deep voice.

Cui Hongdu hurriedly responded, and Cao Xiaoda immediately turned around and instructed his personal guards: "Quickly inform the two generals of Panlong County City of the situation here, and inform all departments that the whole army is ready to fight!" ”

Hearing Cao Xiaoda's command, Cui Hongdu's footsteps paused slightly, but he could only sigh secretly in his heart. He knew that no matter what Wei Chi Yuan thought, at least Wei Xiaokuan would never allow He Louzi to send troops if he was here.

Therefore, He Louzi's previous idea was to cut first and then play, and take the loot and capture it back, even if Wei Xiaokuan was dissatisfied, he would not blame his favorite general. But if He Louzi is defeated, then Wei Xiaokuan, even if he is reluctant, he has to express himself in order to give an explanation to the court and the generals below.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, especially Wei Xiaokuan, who is the last to know. However, Cui Hongdu also knows that the matter has come to this point, and it is just a fool's dream to stop Cao Xiaoda, and the top priority is to rescue He Louzigan.

There is no life, and it makes no sense to talk about it

——————————————————-

Li Xinchen took three steps and made two steps to rush onto a stone, and under the big stone on the side of the road, He Louzigan was fighting and retreating with his personal guards.

I have to say that this forest is a battlefield tailored for the Ba people, the Ba people calmly wander back and forth between the woods, any lone enemy will soon be noticed, and then immediately two Ba people from the left and right sides surrounded, easily blocking the support of the Northern Zhou companions behind, and another Ba people quickly killed, the knife and gun in their hands pierced the chest of the prey at the same time, and before the prey completely swallowed, these Ba people once again scattered in all directions.

At this time, the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who rushed to support could get nothing but a still warm corpse.

Obviously, the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty from He Louzigan to the army were aware of the hidden dangers brought about by the scattered formation, but the big trees and the rugged terrain in front of them undoubtedly broke this attempt. The Ba people were constantly interspersed, harassed, and driven away, and the Northern Zhou army could only retreat from the more rugged and messy terrain.

"Go up!" Seeing that there were more and more Ba people in front of him, He Louzigan shouted, urging the guards around him and the soldiers who gradually gathered over.

Li Xinchen squinted slightly, He Louzigan was trying to regain control of the situation on the entire battlefield, and it was obvious that he had also realized the root of the problem.

The rhythm of the entire battlefield is now in Li Xinchen's hands.

"It's up to you to see if you have what it takes." Li Xinchen sneered, shook the cloud gun in his hand, jumped straight down from the roadside boulder, and pulled up a spear, directly piercing the chest of a Northern Zhou soldier not far away.

And Li Ping's personal guards did not hesitate, and they all rushed to catch up with Li Xinchen, although there were only a dozen of them, but all of them were veterans who had followed Li Xinchen all the way since Zhangshan, and they could really be said to have experienced a thousand tempers.

Therefore, although there were many soldiers and horses in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, they suddenly faced these killing gods, and soon spread out to both sides like a tidal wave.
