Has the enemy army, which has not been seen for many days, finally appeared?

Is it to besiege Liangshan, attack Liangshan, or to retreat?

If they come to re-encircle or attack Liangshan, the Xuanwei army will lose the opportunity to retreat, and if the enemy retreats, the Xuanwei army will still be preserved.

I wanted to get news of the enemy before, but now that they have appeared, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

Yang Congyi returned to the city anxiously, raised his eyes, and saw a large group of enemy troops appearing at the mouth of the northern valley, coming in the direction of Liangshan City, and there was no end of the team, and the number could not be estimated.

Looking at the enemy army in the north, the Xuanwei army on duty in the city was inexplicably excited, can they fight another battle?

As more and more enemy troops appeared, all the troops immediately issued orders, and all soldiers immediately went to the city to prepare for battle.

Archers with bows and arrows clinging to the battlements, keeping an eye on the north, and rows of soldiers crouching on the ground with bows behind them, the whole army ready to stop the enemy again.

After a few quarters of an hour of intense guarding, it was discovered that the enemy army was heading straight west of the city.

After a few moments, the vanguard of the enemy army went straight to the ferry and set up a defense in the direction of Liangshan City, and then a small group of enemy troops quickly crossed the river, and the two sides worked together to quickly build an improvised bridge with the materials they carried.

The enemy army is going to retreat!

Yang Congyi's heart was beating wildly and excited!

Sure enough, in about half an hour, a bridge was built, and then a group of enemy troops cautiously tried to cross the river.

In a few moments, they reached the south bank.

There was no problem with the bridge, and the enemy troops, who had already gathered at the crossing, immediately began to cross the river, and the groups crossed the bridge.

After crossing the river, they did not stop, and strode south away, without the slightest nostalgia, without the slightest stop.

After disappearing for a few days, the enemy reappeared in the field of vision of the Xuanwei army, but it was a silent withdrawal, which surprised the ordinary soldiers, but in the eyes of Yang Congyi and the generals, it was expected.

The soldiers of the city watched silently as the enemy army withdrew, and no one shouted to rush out and fight, for the ranks were so large that they came out of the northern valley in a steady stream, crossed the river, and then disappeared into the south.

In the evening, as it grew dark, several bonfires were lit at the ferry, and the enemy retreated.

After standing on the city for a day, Yang Congyi and the generals were also a little tired, but they didn't dare to go back carelessly to rest, Li Yue's army was outside the city, if they suddenly turned around and attacked the city, it would inevitably cause huge trouble to the defenders of Liangshan.

Seeing that the enemy army began to withdraw, Yang Congyi and the generals were very happy, but then questions and worries came to their minds.

Li Yue's army is short of food, that is because they have hundreds of thousands of mouths, if they only leave 20,000 elite soldiers in Yulin and Danan Pass, then as long as the grain route from Li Yue Kingdom to Yulin is unblocked, there should be no pressure on 20,000 people to hold Da Nanguan and Yulin City. If this is the case, it is definitely a dead end for the Xuanwei army to stay in Liangshan City.

The west of Yongzhou was completely destroyed by the Li Yue people, and the grain and grass are estimated to have been collected long ago, even if the Li Yue people occupied Yulin with a small number of troops, Yongzhou was unable to send a large army to expel them in a short time, so at present, the Li Yue people had no reason to give up Da Nan Pass and Yu Lin City, and all the hundreds of thousands of troops were withdrawn to the south of Daliang Mountain.

And the withdrawn army can once again support Yulin after a short rest, and then there will be a protracted confrontation or war. Li Yueren, who had been preparing for this battle for many years, would find it difficult to enter Yulin once they withdrew from Da Nan Pass, and they would never give up this hard-won opportunity.

Thinking about it this way, even if the enemy's retreat is huge, they are doing it as a strategy of retreating, and in order to continue to capture Quang Nam, they will inevitably deploy elite troops at Da Nan Pass and Yulin.

Since there is no reason for Li Yue to withdraw all the troops from Yulin and Dananguan, there will definitely be enough elite troops to stay in Liangshan City, which fell into the hands of the Xuanwei army, and then easily recover, completely penetrate the grain route, and then attack Yongzhou again.

Liangshan City was surrounded by tens of thousands of corpses at this time, as long as Li Yue sent an army to keep an eye on Liangshan for ten days and did not let the Xuanwei army clean up the corpses, then there was only one way in front of them, where to go back and forth, and nothing could be taken away, and even some Xuanwei troops would be left permanently.

In this way, when to evacuate Liangshan has become a problem that the Xuanwei army must consider.

Soon, this problem became a problem for Yang Congyi, Yao Chang, Su Zhong, Yuan Hua and others.

When they saw the retreat of the enemy's large army, they thought that the battle was finally won, capturing Liangshan, and forcing back Li Yue's 100,000 army, what a great feat, the title of official was close at hand, but in the blink of an eye, they had to consider when to flee from Liangshan.

Escaping from Liangshan means that they will have nothing to gain in this battle, and anxiety and loss suddenly swelled in their hearts.

The crowd gathered under the city, relatively silent.

Thinking of the blood and sweat that had been shed all the way, suffered so much, and suffered so much tiredness, all in vain, Yuan Hua couldn't help but cry in his eyes.

Others were depressed and sighed.

Li Yueren was defeated and retreated to Yulin, the Xuanwei army worked hard and did useless work, and the Youyi army also ran in vain, and the only one who won this war was the Yongzhou defenders!

After being silent for a long time, Yang Congyi exhaled a breath of turbidity, and forced a smile on his face: "Don't be discouraged, look like you've lost a battle." You should be glad that you can push back hundreds of thousands of troops and escape with your life from them. Although this battle did not achieve the expected results, but it is not unacceptable, we have not lost the battle in Liangshan, these more than 3,000 Xuanwei army is really tempered by the war, after this battle, it is compared with the forbidden army in front of the palace, our combat power is not much different from them, as long as the combat power is strong, we will win the battle, and there will be opportunities to make contributions in the future. The experience and experience of winning the battle in Liangshan this time is the most valuable wealth we have come here, this is only the first battle we fought, and the Xuanwei army will continue to fight in the future, do you want to make a great contribution at one time, be awarded an official title, and return to your hometown to retire? ”

After listening to the prison guard's words, everyone's mood changed slightly.

Seeing this, Yang Congyi smiled again: "Cheer up, the enemy army is stationed in Yulin, if the war is not over, the Xuanwei army will have a lot of opportunities to make meritorious contributions in Qinzhou, don't grab it when the time comes." ”

Su Zhong continued: "Don't rob me, if there is a big battle, I will decide the first merit first, and the rest of you will line up behind." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly said: "Second Su, why are you first, I killed no fewer people than you in the Chengxi Pass." ”

"Why, just because I went deep into Li Yue's hinterland and took Jingzhou City, is it enough?" When it came to Jingzhou, Su Zhong was suddenly angry.

"Okay, good, you are amazing, you take the first merit, I take the second merit." Liu Shi knew that he couldn't compare with him, so he could only give in.

Hearing this, Yuan Hua was unhappy and immediately choked: "You second? So how many do I want? ”

"Okay, good, you're all amazing, I'll take the third merit." Liu Shi was helpless, so he had to take another step back.

Yang Congyi saw that the atmosphere was a little lively, so he said: "Okay, let's talk about the war later, when to evacuate and how to evacuate, it is the top priority, think about it, within three days, we must have results." Before retreating, don't reveal the news, and don't let the city defense slacken. ”

The congregation should be.

Then they were disbanded, and they returned to the city gate with the questions given by the overseers.

Under the light of the fire on the west side of the city, the enemy troops flowed endlessly, and the groups walked over the ferry bridge, entered the dim south bank and disappeared, the bonfire burned all night, and the enemy retreat lasted all night, and they watched the city all night.

Until dawn the next day, there were still groups of enemy troops at the ferry, and there were still people in the northern valley mouth popping up, and this retreat did not know how long it would last.

After squatting all night in the city, the people were tired.

When it was dawn, the enemy's movements could be seen clearly, so half of them went down to the city to rest, and half continued to monitor the enemy troops on the city.

On this day, the Li Yue people were still retreating, without stopping for a moment, without a sound, they came out of the valley, silently walked to the ferry, quietly crossed the bridge, and quietly disappeared in the south.

The bonfire was lit again, illuminating the non-stop retreat at the ferry.

No one in the city knew how long this retreat would last, but the soldiers knew that the enemy army had been defeated by them, and that this great victory belonged to them, and that the more the enemy withdrew, the better, and the longer the enemy withdrew, although it was very sleepy and tiring to stand on duty in the city, but they were willing to see more of the enemy's defeated figure, and for the victors, this little bit of happiness was nothing.

For ordinary soldiers, in fact, whether they win or lose the battle has little impact on them, maybe they only care about life and death, if the battle is won, the chance of survival is greater, and if the battle is lost, it is very likely that they will die, not so much that they like to win, it is more appropriate to say that they like to live.

Having tasted victory in the city, they did not know that they would soon have to retreat, and they were even more hasty and hasty than the enemy, who could only watch as they retreated, and when they retreated, the enemy was likely to catch up.

They are lucky, they don't have to bear what they think is a big victory, but it turns out to be a loss and suffering in vain, even if they retreat, they only need to march according to the military order.

The enemy retreat continued, continuing into the second half of the night.

"Why is there no one by the river?"

In a trance, a soldier suddenly noticed the abnormality and let out an exclamation, waking up the people outside the spiritual objects in the city.

Under the lonely campfire, there was no one, and there was still the slightest trace of the enemy.

"All troops on alert!"

Shocked, the archers raised their bows and arrows and aimed them outside the city, and if they found any trouble, their arrows would come out of their hands.

The slightest movement outside the city could not be heard, and the firelight on the city could only illuminate the outside of the city for more than a dozen feet at most, and the rest of the area was all hidden in the darkness, which was unsettling.

"Rocket Shot!"

The guards gave the order, and the archers quickly lit the rockets nearby, and opened their bows to shoot into the darkness.

The rocket streaked across the night sky, piercing into the ground dozens of feet away, or between the corpses, and the not-so-bright firelight lit up the area outside the city dozens of kilometers.

The crowd could see clearly that there was nothing on the ground but corpses and ashes.
