"The last general is ordered, but after I leave, is it enough for you to deal with Yan Chixing, General?" Lin Peiyuan couldn't help but be a little worried.

The Qin State has been peaceful for too long, and now there are fewer and fewer generals in the country who can lead troops to fight. The last time Li Peifu and Shi Luosheng fought, not only was he defeated and died, but even several outstanding young generals such as Wan Hailong, Feng Fenglong, and Guo Le also died together.

Bai Mengqi was noncommittal: "You don't have to worry about my side, I will have a decisive battle with Yan Chixing tomorrow, and if I win Liaocheng, I don't need manpower." ”

"And what if you lose?" Lin Peiyuan asked in a low voice.

Bai Mengqi didn't answer, and he didn't know what to do if he lost. When the Tianluo Sect attacked Cangzhou alone, everyone felt that Gao Kegong was just a clown who jumped off the beam and couldn't set off any big waves. Unexpectedly, it was this negligence that made the Tianluo Sect army quickly sweep through the entire Jizhou, and even enter Bazhou to threaten Sucheng.

But then again, even if Bai Mengqi went to Cangzhou to defend against Gao Kegong, wouldn't Yan Chixing sweep the entire Yanzhou and threaten Sucheng again? In the final analysis, it was the lack of excellent generals in the Qin State.

"General, we have chased out thirty miles, and we haven't seen the ambush of the Song army, after this hillside, there is an open space in front, didn't Yan Chixing set up an ambush?" The next day, Bai Mengqi took Bai Si and Jia Yunkui, the commander of the Liaocheng City Defense Army, to carefully pursue the Song army, but they did not see any ambush all the way.

Bai Mengqi was also puzzled in his heart: "Yan Chixing's use of troops is not under Deng Yuanjue, so we should be careful." ”

As he spoke, Qin Bing had already chased out of the hillside for five miles, and he could see the figure of the Song army not far away.

"General, I'll take someone to rush up to see what the hell Yan Chixing is doing, and if there are ambushes around, you can answer me." Seeing that the enemy army was in front of him, Bai Si decided to go forward and find out.

"Okay, you have to be more careful yourself, find something wrong, and withdraw as soon as possible." Bai Mengqi admonished.

Bai Si took the lead and led an army of 20,000 and rushed directly. Yan Chixing had already prepared, and when he heard movement behind him, he hurriedly asked the troops to stop, and the rear army was in front, and the three rows of crossbowmen took turns to release arrows at the Qin army.

Bai Si was not afraid at all, and still rushed towards the Song army after raising his gun and shooting down a few long arrows. Rushing to the front, the Song army's crossbowmen retreated, and the pikemen stood in front and fought with the Qin army.

Bai Mengqi, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that the Song army was acting in a uniform manner and training in an orderly manner, and he couldn't help but secretly admire Yan Chixing's ability to govern the army.

When the two armies fought for a stick of incense, Bai Mengqi suddenly realized that something was wrong, Yan Chixing obviously had an army of 80,000, but the Song army in front of him was only 30,000.

Bai Mengqi looked up at Yan Chixing in the distance, only to see that he was sneering at him. At this time, Bai Mengqi felt even more bad: "Commander Jia, how many people are still stationed in Liaocheng?" ”

"General Yu, we originally had an army of 100,000, yesterday you gave Lin Qianfeng 30,000, and now you have brought 50,000 people to chase the Song army, and there are only 20,000 people left in the city to defend the city." Jia Yunkui felt strange that the deployment of this force was not personally arranged by the general himself.

"It's not good, we have been tricked, Yan Chixing didn't set up an ambush to attack us, but went directly to attack Liaocheng, otherwise how to explain that the Song army obviously has 80,000 people, and there are only 30,000 here? Let's get back. Bai Mengqi shouted.

Jia Yunkui didn't believe it in his heart, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he had to suggest: "Even if Song Bing really sneaks up on Liaocheng, it won't be too late for us to withdraw, otherwise we will take Yan Chixing directly while there are more soldiers now." ”

Bai Mengqi said angrily: "Didn't you see that Yan Chixing had already prepared? Don't say we can't hold him, even if we do, what's the use? If Liaocheng is lost, can we still withdraw to Daqin? ”

Bai Mengqi ordered Bai Si Hall to block Yan Chixing's counter-pursuit, and he took Jia Yunkui to retreat to Liaocheng first.

Yan Chixing looked at the retreating Qin army from a distance, and the smile on his face was even more strange.

The Qin army galloped away, but within fifteen miles, he heard the shouts in front of him, and as far as the eye could see, a fire broke out, and then the reeds on both sides of the hillside were all lit. In an instant, there was fire in all directions. As soon as the wind blew, the fire became more intense. The Qin army was in chaos for a while, trampling on each other, and countless people died.

Ji Yun suddenly led 10,000 people to kill from the front, Jia Yunkui hurriedly stepped forward and shouted at Bai Mengqi: "General, you lead the army to withdraw to Liaocheng first, and there will be a general here to deal with it." ”

Bai Mengqi did not shirk, and led some of the remnants of the army to climb the hillside and go straight to the path.

Seeing that Bai Mengqi had escaped, Ji Yun was furious in his heart, drew his long sword, and stabbed at Jia Yunkui with a brush. This Ji Yun is not an ordinary general, he has studied art in the Eagle Castle since he was a child, and he is still Xiao Che's senior brother, where will this Jia Yunkui be his opponent.

The two fought for less than ten rounds, and Ji Yun picked off the spear in his hand with a sword and stabbed Jia Yunkui under the horse.

After Bai Mengqi got rid of the pursuers, he detoured from the path and went straight to Liaocheng. When he was less than ten miles away from Liaocheng, he suddenly heard another army chasing after him. Bai Mengqi was shocked in his heart, and was just about to give the order to face the battle, when he looked back, he saw that the incoming army was actually Bai Si.

It turned out that after Bai Mengqi withdrew, Yan Chixing personally led the army to rush over and kill him. Bai Si still wanted to take the opportunity to kill Yan Chixing, but as soon as he fought, he realized that the old man in front of him was not only the great Sima of the Song Kingdom, but also the owner of the Divine Eagle Castle.

In less than three rounds of fighting, Bai Si was severely injured by Yan Chixing, if it weren't for the Qin army around him, Bai Si would have died on the spot.

Finally picked up a life-saving Bai Si, I wanted to take two thousand remnants of soldiers to take another road to lead Yan Chixing, but I didn't expect Yan Chixing to pursue him at all, so in desperation, I had to lead the army to withdraw to Liaocheng, but I didn't expect to meet Bai Mengqi who was delayed because of an ambush on the road.

The two joined forces and continued to retreat towards Liaocheng. When approaching the city, I heard another shouting and killing sound in front of me, it turned out that Wu Changchen was attacking the city with an army of 40,000.

Bai Si couldn't care about the injuries on his body, so he had to lead the troops to the rescue. Bai Mengqi grabbed him: "Don't go, let's quickly withdraw to Handan." ”

Bai Si was puzzled: "Why? Liaocheng has not been lost yet, and we will definitely be able to kill Wu Changchen if we rush over now. ”

Bai Mengqi explained: "What if we retreat, there are still 40,000 troops of Yan Chixing and Ji Yun behind, and we can't hold it either." At that time, once the city was surrounded by the Song army, we had to be annihilated. Now that we are withdrawing to Handan, we still have a chance to get it back. ”

Bai Si gritted his teeth, so he had to ruthlessly leave Liaocheng and leave with Bai Mengqi.

Not long after the Qin army left, Yan Chixing and Ji Yun also led the army to kill. Under the joint siege of the three of them, Liaocheng was breached in a short time.

"Da Sima, Bai Mengqi and Bai Si have fled to Handan." After counting the battlefield, Wu Changchen reported to Yan Chixing.

"How many people are stationed in Handan now?" Yan Chixing asked.

"Counting the 20,000 remnants of the army taken away by Bai Mengqi, the defenders of Handan now are at most 30,000." Wu Changchen replied.

Yan Chixing sneered: "This time I also learn from Deng Yuanjue, our troops are divided into three routes, I will lead an army of 40,000 to Handan to surround Bai Mengqi, and the two of you will each bring 30,000 troops to take the entire Yanzhou for me." At the beginning, Deng Yuanjue also used this trick to trap Gao Yi and Gao Kegong's uncle and nephew, and then divided his troops to take the entire Jizhou County.

"Then who will stay in Liaocheng? There are still many people in our army who are His Majesty's people. Ji Yun reminded that he knew that Yan Chixing was also planning to divide one side like Deng Yuanjue, so naturally he couldn't let Xiao Yan's people take over Liaocheng.

Yan Chixing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, Taishou will use Xiao Yan's people, so that he can relax his vigilance against us." But military power must be in our own hands. "All the masters of the Condor Castle and the generals on the battlefield are not their expertise in government affairs, so they have to use Xiao Yan's people.

"Your Majesty, there is good news from Da Sima, they have already inflicted heavy losses on Bai Mengqi, and now the troops are divided into three routes, ready to take the entire Yanzhou. However, Deng Wenying also took the opportunity to send troops to Tanzhongcheng. In Jianye's palace, Xiao Yan was listening to the battle report in front of him.

"I think that the Luo Sect was just a small gang that day, and they swept the entire Jizhou with only 30,000 troops, and our Da Sima led an army of 80,000, and it took more than half a year to build a Liaocheng, which really damaged the face of my Great Song Dynasty." Xiao Yan was not happy when he heard the good news, but he was still a little ashamed.

Yuan Chengce persuaded with a smiling face: "The account can't be calculated like this, Da Sima's opponent is Bai Mengqi, and Gao Kegong has encountered some shrimp soldiers and crab generals." ”

When Xiao Yan heard Gao Kegong, he turned his head to Gao Yi and said, "Didn't this Gao Kegong surrender to my Great Song Dynasty with the Taiwei?" Why did you go to the Tianluo Sect again? "Gao Kegong was a prisoner in Jianye for a period of time, and Xiao Yan also looked down on him at that time, so he never asked Gao Yi about his nephew after ascending the throne.

And Gao Yi has always wanted to avoid mentioning the Tianluo Sect, and when he saw Xiao Yan personally asking, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell Gao Kegong about being played by Deng Yuanjue, and being framed by Deng Wenhao and killing Xiong Huan by mistake. But the real reason why he didn't come to Jianye didn't say, only that he didn't want to involve the entire Gao family to bear the charge of killing the king, so he was willing to leave the Gao family and live in the rivers and lakes, as for how he would join the Tianluo Sect later, I don't know anything.

Xiao Yan felt a pity after hearing this, although Gao Kegong was not a famous general, he hated Deng Yuanjue to the core, if he was willing to submit to the Great Song Dynasty, he might also be a sharp weapon against Deng Yuanjue in the future.

"Tai Lieutenant, would you like to repair a letter and persuade General Kegong to come to my Great Song Dynasty? I am willing to make him the general of the Great Song Dynasty. Xiao Yan thought to himself that if he could recruit Gao Kegong, he would not only be able to get a general, but also Jizhou County, which he had defeated for the Tianluo Sect.
