Zhang Ju didn't know that this was true, but he didn't want to admit the news in his heart. After all, everyone knows what the loss of Gulang Gorge means to themselves and others. "Well, you go down first! This is important to keep it secret in advance, if there is a leak, only you ask! After a moment of silence, Zhang Ju waved his hand and said to the messenger.

"General Xie doesn't kill the grace, the little one must not dare to divulge half a sentence!" The messenger hurried out.

"Let's talk about it! When things come to this point, say whatever you want! Zhang Ju seemed to be very tired, and his voice was a little low.

Generals, look at me, I look at you, no one knows what to say!

After being silent for a moment, Niu Ba stood up and said, "General, now it seems that those Huashan troops should have been planned a long time ago. Their purpose is to completely encircle our tens of thousands of troops, and then gather together and annihilate them. Otherwise, when the reinforcements rushed to Yuanwei County, why did the other party keep it a secret! ”

Niu Ba's words can be regarded as speaking the hearts of most people. Many things that I didn't understand before have been answered now.

"What do we do in your opinion?" Zhang Ju glanced at him and said lightly.

"In the opinion of the general, we only have two paths now! Either way, it is to continue to attack the county seat, as long as the county seat is taken, the encirclement will naturally be lifted. Or, let's immediately return to the division and rush to the outside of Gulangxia Pass, and recapture Gulangxia Pass with the envoys. In this way, we can also return to Wuwei! Niu Ba arched his hand and replied.

His two ideas were indeed good, especially the last proposal, which made everyone nod.

"Yes, although the Huashan Army occupies the Gulang Gorge Pass, we still have more than 20,000 troops, as long as we attack the Gulang Gorge Pass with the envoy from the north to the south, we will definitely be able to recapture the pass!" When Zhang Ju heard this, the whole person seemed to have regained his vitality, clapped his hands and smiled.

"General, if we return to the division, I'm afraid that the Huashan Army will immediately cover up. Judging from the current situation, the Huashan Army has gathered tens of thousands of troops around us. If we can't quickly recapture Gulangxia Pass by then, I'm afraid that we will be wiped out by the Huashan Army in Guannan first! The method is good, but there are some more sober generals, but at this time they are questioning.

The big battles in the past few days have already given everyone a full understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Huashan Army. With more than 20,000 troops, excluding the part of the people who attacked Gulangxia Pass, the number of people left is not much different from that of the Huashan army.

In this case, the two armies will not have any advantage in the battle, and it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out of the pass before it is recaptured.

Their worries are not unreasonable, even Zhang Ju himself thinks so. Thinking that he was now in a cage and couldn't even find an exit, everyone couldn't help but panic.

"Either way, staying here won't help the situation at all! We should go back to our teacher! Only in this way can we get through the main road faster and get in touch with Guzang! After thinking for a while, Zhang Ju clapped his hands and said.

When Zhang Ju got the news, the messenger from Gulangxia Pass had already rushed to Yuanwei County the day before and reported this excellent news to Zhou Tong!

"Great! The most critical link is finally buckled! Now, it's time for us to act! The soldiers and horses from all over Guanzhong will be able to arrive in a day or two! We can take advantage of this time to spread the news and let Zhang Ju's army chaos without a fight! Knowing that Gulangxia Pass was successfully won, Zhou Tong was very happy at that time.

"I have ordered the cavalry to be on guard, and must not allow the enemy to turn over from that side! However, for the time being, Zhang Ju should not take this step! After all, under the current situation, going to Gulangxia Pass is still the best choice, and the only difference is to take the pass back! Peng Lin said from the side.

"If I were Zhang Ju and I had 20,000 troops in my hands, I would also think about taking back Gulangxia Pass as soon as possible. Especially in the case that the north also has its own soldiers and horses attacking the pass, most people will think that it is easier to take the pass by attacking from the north and south. This is also what we are most worried about, we must not let them succeed, we have to trap Zhang Ju and others here before Sun Tie and them can't support it! Zhou Tong thought for a moment and said to him.

"It's easy to do! The soldiers and horses from Qinzhou and other places have already arrived in Haokang County and Jincheng County one after another, allowing Hu Tian to lead people over the mountains of South China and cut off Zhang Ju's road to the west. In this way, we and Hu Tianyi are east and west, sandwiching Zhang Ju's army, and there are two mountains in the north and south to block it, and they can't fly out! Peng Lin nodded, and immediately proposed.

"Well, I'll send someone to inform Hu Tian!" Zhou Tong agreed with this very much, and even if he made an official document, he sent someone to send it to Hu Tian quickly.

Sending a letter to Hu Tian was the first day Zhang Ju got the news, and after making preparations, Zhou Tong and Peng Lin paid close attention to the every move of the army outside the city. Therefore, as soon as Zhang Ju and the others made the decision to return to the division the next day, Zhou Tong and the others had already found something abnormal.

"You see, the enemy seems to be pulling out camp and preparing to withdraw!" Standing on the city tower, Peng Lin said to Zhou Tong.

Although it is far away, it does not mean that you cannot see the situation over there. Especially with such a big action as pulling out the camp and starting the village, it's no wonder you can't see it!

"It's kind of weird! If you were an enemy, would you make such a big move to withdraw your troops in such a situation? Zhou Tong looked at it for a while, then frowned and asked.

"Of course not, unless we have already negotiated! Otherwise, I wish you didn't know. Penlin replied immediately.

"That's it! It seems that Zhang Ju has a trick! He must have wanted us to see this, and then he led people out of the city to attack them. And they themselves have secretly ambushed the men and horses, and when we arrive, they will come out! In this way, if we are really defeated by them, I am afraid that they will be able to retreat calmly after that! Zhou Tong pondered for a while and said suddenly.

"Yes, you have a point! I can't see it, this Zhang Ju really has some thoughts! If so, what should we do? To chase or not to chase? Peng Lin listened, and understood, and couldn't help asking.

"In fact, it doesn't matter if you chase or not, after all, as long as Hu Tian and the others go to the mountain pass first and stop them, it will be impossible for the enemy to pass. Anyway, they're already surrounded, so it doesn't matter if we don't chase them. But! It may take some time for Hu Tian to occupy the mountain pass, so we have to help him and drag Zhang Ju's army for a while! Zhou Tong thought for a while and said slowly.

"Then how about we make a plan?" Peng Lin nodded, and then proposed.

"Yes, it's time to do it! Since they have already set up a feast, wouldn't it be too rude for us not to attend? Let's go down and take a good look at how to go to this feast! Hearing this, Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing and said jokingly.

Outside the city, Zhang Ju's camp has been almost demolished! The sky was getting darker and darker, and the biting cold wind was howling, making people's faces hurt.

"General, everything is ready, if those Huashan troops really dare to chase them out, let them have no return!" In the Chinese military tent, Yi Tui came to report to Zhang Juyu.

"Okay, give the order, and the army will march slowly to the west, without ostentation, lest the enemy see the flaws! In addition, send an order to the soldiers and horses guarding the mountain pass, telling them to guard the mountain pass and not let the Huashan army in the south come. When Zhang Ju heard this, he was immediately quite satisfied, and after nodding, he ordered.

"Yes, the last general will arrange it!" Yi Tui answered, and then turned around and left.

"I don't believe it, your Huashan army will not be defeated by me once!" After seeing Yi Di leave, Zhang Ju's eyes became cold, looked in the direction of the county seat, and said coldly.

Defeated twice in a row at the hands of Huashan Army, the interval was not long ago, how could Zhang Ju be willing to let him retreat like this! This should be his last effort, and if that didn't work, he might really be dead and bent on retreating.

The Liang army began to retreat in the afternoon, but the actual retreat was almost as late as it was already dark. Originally, the lights were bright in the camp inside and outside every day, and it was very conspicuous when viewed from the city.

But today, it was pitch black outside, and the noise of the past was gone, and all that was left was the sound of the howling wind. There are flakes of snow in the sky, and it looks like there is going to be a snow tonight.

Zhou Tong and Peng Lin ordered a thousand soldiers and horses, and went out of the city to the enemy camp. Although the enemy army retreated, the battalion was not completely dismantled, and a lot of tents and messes were left all over the ground.

"Everybody be careful, look around and see if there's anything left behind? Bring back the useful ones, burn them on the spot if they don't work! Others, go ahead with me! After entering the camp, Zhou Tong ordered.

Soon, these people were divided into two parts, one part stayed to look around, and the other followed Zhou Tong to the west. It didn't take long for the centaurs to disperse.

The enemy's battalion was originally five miles away from the city, and the battalion that was originally built with a scale of 30,000 people was not small! The distance from the rear camp to the front camp is five or six miles long. Therefore, it took them a lot of time just to search the entire camp.
