Chapter Eighty-Four: Return to the Grove

Seeing Lin Peiyuan withdraw, Shi Luosheng did not chase after him, and after cleaning up the remnants, he returned to Cangwu City with Xiao Yu, Tian Yulong and others, who had not yet recovered their senses. On the way back, he met Liu Zixuan, who had just escaped Feng Fenglong's pursuit, and the two armies joined forces.

Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong originally wanted to thank Shi Luosheng for saving his life, but they remembered that they had listened to Shi Luosheng's strategy to fall into such a field, and a resentment rose in their hearts.

Shi Luosheng also roughly guessed what the two of them were thinking, and said disapprerovitically: "Your Highness, Lord Taiwei, let's stop and rest for a while." If I'm not mistaken, there may be a tough battle to be fought later, and if this battle is won, we won't lose this raid. ”

This time he came to Cangwu, Xiao Daocheng gave Tian Yulong a total of 50,000 people, and this time he brought 30,000 people out to rob the camp, and lost nearly 20,000 people in the first battle. Tian Yulong was worried about how to write a recital to Xiao Daocheng to explain this matter after he went back, and now when he heard Shi Luosheng say that there would be a tough battle to fight later, he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart, and he couldn't care about the embarrassment just now, and hurriedly asked: "Taifu, you said that there will be a battle to fight later?" Could it be that there is a change in Cangwu City? ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said: "Yes, Lin Peiyuan sent Li Zhao and Guo Le to rob me and Zixuan's camp, they disappeared after repelling us, and I didn't see them in the Qin army camp just now." I guess they must have gone to attack Cangwu City, they still have 10,000 people in their hands. ”

Tian Yulong was shocked: "Then what are we waiting for? If you don't hurry back, if Cangwu is also lost, let's wait to lose our heads. ”

Shi Luosheng comforted: "Lord Taiwei don't worry, Cangwu City has strong walls, and there are 20,000 people from Dai Tuo, Li Zhao and Guo Le can't attack it with only 10,000 people, what we need most now is rest." Just now, all the soldiers fought with the last strength to kill, and now everyone is sleepy, and let them enter the battle, but I am afraid that they will fall on their own before the battle starts. We will rest later, and when Li Zhao and Guo Le come back, we will wait for work and eat their troops. ”

Tian Yulong looked back at the soldiers behind him, and sure enough, everyone was hungry and the horses were tired. Tian Yulong had no choice but to agree to Shi Luosheng's suggestion and ordered the troops to rest in place. Shi Luosheng also took out some people from his headquarters to find water and food for everyone to eat.

Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong didn't say a word, leaning against a big tree with their backs, their eyes looking at the sky, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts. Shi Luosheng didn't bother them, and found Wang Lun and Liu Zixuan to discuss how to defeat the Qin army later.

Besides, after Li Zhao and Guo Le took the two camps of Shi Luosheng and Liu Zixuan, they sent people back to the camp to investigate the situation according to what Lin Peiyuan said in advance. The spies reported that Tian Yulong really led 30,000 troops to rob the camp, and he had been trapped by Lin Peiyuan. After the two learned of the situation, they directly led the army to Cangwu City.

It is also thanks to Tian Yulong's prudence that he left 20,000 people for Dai Tuo, otherwise it is really difficult to say whether Cangwu can hold it.

Li Zhao and Guo Le knew that their troops were insufficient, and they could only rely on sneak attacks if they wanted to take Cangwu, and they also found some clothes for the Song army, wanting to pretend to be Tian Yulong's defeated army to win the city gate. As a result, the city gate was opened, but Dai Tuo found that something was wrong as soon as he looked at the people, and with the advantage of troops, he beat the two out again. The two organized several more sieges, all of which ended in failure, and finally had to return in disgrace.

Although they did not take Cangwu City, the two of them also broke through the two camps near the big camp, and successfully restrained Dai Tuo, so that he didn't have the energy to care about the situation on Tian Yulong's side, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

Just when the two of them were thinking about how Lin Peiyuan would reward themselves after they went back, suddenly there was a shout of killing all around, Shi Luosheng, Liu Zixuan, Xiao Che, and Xu Wenzhe each came out with 3,000 people from all sides, and Song Jun, who had just regained his strength, also regarded the Qin soldiers in front of him as the object of anger. Li Zhao and Guo Le were defenseless, and they never thought that they would encounter the Song army on the road, and the Qin army was in chaos for a while.

Just when Li Zhao and the others guessed the origin of this Song army, they found that most of their faces were blackened by smoke and fire, and the clothes they were wearing also had obvious traces of being burned by the fire. The two of them wondered in their hearts, could this be the Song army trapped in the camp by General Lin?

The two looked up again, and saw that the general led by them was indeed Xiao Yu, the second prince of the Song Kingdom, and the two of them were shocked, could it be that General Lin was defeated, and this army killed itself?

Thinking of this, the two of them had no intention of fighting, and rushed out desperately with the soldiers, hoping to break out. Xiao Yu in front saw that the two of them were also angry, and intercepted Li Zhao who rushed to the front with a sword, brushed and brushed, and stabbed several swords in a row, Li Zhao hurriedly barely avoided them all.

The situation behind him was also stopped by Liu Zixuan, Liu Zixuan has been improving by leaps and bounds since he came back from Changxing Island, and he is also the only person who has cultivated the three martial arts of the Tianluo Sect at the same time after Shi Luosheng. Now in the face of Kuangle, just one shot at the face and cut Kuangle in two. After glancing at Xiao Yu's side, Li Zhao was in danger of being killed by Xiao Yu, and it seemed that he wouldn't last long.

Liu Zixuan turned around and Shi Luosheng together, and once again entered the Qin army, like chopping vegetables and cutting melons, under the impact of the two, the Qin army's formation had already been in chaos, and in less than half an hour, this Qin army of 10,000 people, except for two or three thousand people who fled, all the others were killed on the spot. After Li Zhao was hit by Xiao Yu's two swords, he was desperately rescued by the soldiers behind him, jumped on his war horse, and fled in the direction of Yulin City.

At the end of the battle, the battlefield was counted, and on the whole, Tian Yulong's loss of the camp was only slightly more than that of the Qin army, and it was not too ugly to lose, after all, his side also killed a captain of the Qin army.

Back in Cangwu City, Tian Yulong immediately sent someone out to inquire about Lin Peiyuan's movements, and then learned that Lin Peiyuan had also withdrawn to Yulin City, Tian Yulong was overjoyed and immediately wrote to Xiao Daocheng, saying that he had won the first battle, not only repelled Li Zhao and Kuangle who came to attack Cangwu, but also burned Li Peifu's Qin army camp outside Cangwu City, and beheaded the Qin general Kuangle, and now all the Qin troops are cowering in Yulin City and dare not fight. For his own losses, he said that there were small casualties.

After reading Tian Yulong's book, the second prince Xiao Yu had a trace of admiration in addition to embarrassment, and he was able to say that a completely disadvantaged battle was a complete victory, and he couldn't find a flaw in the description of the text, and Shi Luosheng and the three of them had a deeper contempt for Tian Yulong in their hearts after reading it.

Besides, although Lin Peiyuan hit the Song army hard, he was also sullen about Xiao Yu and Tian Yulong's final escape, and in order to lure Tian Yulong into being fooled, Lin Peiyuan burned down his camp, and now he has nowhere to go, so he has to retreat to Yulin City first to see what Li Peifu's next plan is.

Just as Lin Peiyuan was about to return to Yulin City, Li Zhao led the defeated army and fled back. After Lin Peiyuan understood the situation, he did not blame Li Zhao, after all, it was because he did not take Tian Yulong that Li Zhao was ambushed by the Song army, and Guo Le was killed because of it.
