"Your Majesty, victorious... Win! ”

It was only half a moment after the retreat of the Yan army that the news entered the imperial city, and Emperor Xia Wu shouted with joy when he heard this.

"Well... Good... Good... I am very relieved, this Zhongdu army is mighty and brave in the world, how can it be the enemy of Jianghuai Yan thieves! ”

But the joy was not half the way, and the next words of the Imperial Gate Order turned to make Emperor Xia Wu feel cold, and then froze for an instant.

"Your Majesty, beyond that... And one more thing... That's... It's just..."

The words of the imperial order suddenly dragged on, and the courtiers were puzzled, and they all looked at it, as for Emperor Xia Wu's complexion, he had already realized from the tone of the imperial order that there were other situations mixed in, so after Emperor Xia Wu relented, he said: "What is it?" ”

"The victory in this battle is not the power of the Nine Gates Forbidden Military Camp, but the Li army that rushed to the aid of the raid, it was the Li army that cut into the battlefield around the city, advanced from the west city, first broke the small formation of Yan thieves, and then cut its battlefield, forcibly coerced, and forced the Yan army to retreat!"

For a while, there were boos in the court, and Emperor Xia Wu was even more breathless, and when he looked closely, Emperor Xia Wu's dragon eyes were bulging, and the essence of light was coming, and the courtiers hurriedly bowed their heads to avoid being punished.

"Li Jun... It turned out to be Li Jun..."

Emperor Xia Wu whispered to himself, Huang An, who was close to him, was also shocked when he heard this, although he wanted to remind Emperor Xia Wu not to be troubled by the chaos in front of him, but as an official of the inner court, the rule that cholera should not disturb the government is a rule set by the ancestors, and it must not be broken.

So, Huang An could only hope that Emperor Xia Wu would keep his sanity in his anxiety, but it backfired, because Nangong Qingyu's previous actions were picked out by Prince Yong Huangfu Song, and the war was not smooth one after another, at this time the Li army was a sudden victory, and in the courtiers instigated and disturbed, Emperor Xia Wu really took the wrong path.

"Li Jun... Even such a local army in northern Xinjiang can kill the Yan thieves and win in the weak, why is the Zhongdu army, which I am proud of, even defeated and retreated, because the military salary is insufficient? Or is it armor without a blade? ”

Long Wei was angry, no one dared to respond, Emperor Xia Wu looked around, and finally set his eyes on Huangfu Song.

"Prince Yong, now that the Yan thief is temporarily retreating, what is your strategy? You can take advantage of the victory to chase and destroy those rebels in one fell swoop! ”

"Your Majesty, the Yan thief fights strongly, nothing more than a quick victory, now the Zhongdu army is weak, delayed, it will only change, it is better to do the opposite, with an absolute superiority of troops, and the Yan thief to fight to the death, the old minister thinks, surprise a hundred battles, will be able to find victory in the victory, and then get a big victory, even if the Yan army still has the strength to come out, but we also have the Li army 8,000 elite horsemen on the flank to help, to ensure that it is not lost, it should be more than enough!"

When Huangfu Song said this, he immediately knelt on the ground and asked for battle: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, and he is willing to hold the blade for His Majesty and kill the Yan thief bravely!"

When the Yan army withdrew in the general trend, Nangong Qingyu immediately took the opportunity to fight back, regain control of the outer city, and let the four doors be closed, and after he counted the battle damage, Nangong Qingyu was sad, since the beginning of the war to this moment, Nangong Qingyu lost several generals, 100 generals and battalion captains, and less than 30,000 soldiers of the 50,000 Nine Gate Forbidden Army remained, of which thousands were wounded, and there were more than 20,000 soldiers who could fight, so to speak, this battle almost exhausted all the efforts of Nangong Qingyu.

"Qingshuai, drink saliva and slow down!"

After Jiang Xiu finished reorganizing the army, he hurried over, looking at Nangong Qingyu's desolate and sad appearance, Jiang Xiu didn't dare to say much, so he could only wait aside, and after a while, Nangong Qingyu took the kettle, poured a few sips, and said, "Where is Li Jun now?" ”

"The Li army has withdrawn from Xicheng!"

"Huh?" Nangong Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then got up: "Who gave the order?" ”

"No one gave an order, after they retreated from the Yan thief's rear guard, they went out of the city from the West Gate, and are now stationed in the forest five miles from the West City Gate, and the Imperial Gate Order and Flag Summoner in the Imperial City came to inquire about writing the battle report half a moment ago, but they were all blocked by Xie Jing!"

Looking at Nangong Qingyu's calm and anxious appearance, Jiang Xiu was unclear: "Qingshuai, what's wrong?" ”

Rao is Nangong Qingyu couldn't understand clearly, at this time, Wei Donglin and Qing Ge Tai came over, although the two of them had a gap conflict with Nangong Qingyu's outer city in their positions, but after a bloody battle, Jiang Xiu and Xie Jing made Wei Donglin and the two of them recognize from the bottom of their hearts, so the two of them have changed their mentality and respect Nangong Qingyu quite much.

Wei Donglin and Qing Getai glanced at each other, and let Hou Chong Nangong Qingyu say: "Qing Shuai, hard work!" ”

Hearing these words that were neither black nor white, Nangong Qingyu frowned: "How about your second injury?" Can you fight again? ”

"Don't worry about Lao Qingshuai, I'll be fine!" Wei Donglin wanted to stop talking, but Qing Getai was anxious, he pushed Wei Donglin away, and approached Nangong Qingyu: "Qing Shuai, it's not good, the news from the palace has come out of the imperial order, and it seems that Prince Yong Huangfu Song will take the throne with you!" ”

"What?"

Nangong Qingyu was stunned when he heard this, but after a blink of an eye, he understood everything, as for Xie Jing, Jiang Xiu and others, they rose up for a while: "What kind of bullshit order is this?" I waited for the sea of blood to fight, but in the end, I was punished for a crime! Such a chore... I can't wait..."

"Shut up!"

Nangong Qingyu was angry in mourning, suppressed Jiang Xiu, Xie Jing and others, and finally said to Qing Geldai and Wei Donglin: "The two are kind, old man... I got it..."

Outside the West City, Zhang Qi led his troops to rest here temporarily, and after scouts went down to investigate and report that the headquarters of King Yan was raided by the Bei'an Army, in order to ensure safety, after He Qi and Lu Yan retreated halfway, King Yan actually ordered the whole battalion to retreat for thirty miles, which made Zhang Qi's heart very happy.

"Brother Jing Yun, do you see it? This is the power of our Li army! ”

Li Tian stood on his horse, hearing the laughter, he looked south, and did not react, as for the bottom of his heart, he slowly silently recited: "Zhong Yi, your single army to deal with the Yan King's main formation, it seems that the opportunity is in hand, but in fact, it is full of dangers, then Lu Yan and He Qi are both good generals, even if they retreat and retreat, they are on the edge of the blade, you must be careful!" ”

"Kill...."

Thirty miles away from the east city of the central capital, the chaotic battlefield, roaring and killing the sky, looking around, under the smoke and dust, the Bei'an army and the Yan army were mixed together, except for the bright light of the blade and the blood sprinkled all over the sky, it was not clear where it was!

In front of the Yan army's main formation, when He Qi and Lu Yan's retreat horn came, King Yan's heart was stable, and the soldiers of the department were even more energetic in the drum horn, although Lin Xiu's Bei'an army had been killed, and its front army was killed by Li Hu's five thousand horsemen, first breaking his own defense formation, followed by Lin Xiuzhong's army front, only slightly disrupting the Yan army's attack, but Yan Wang quickly settled down, even if his own rear formation was out again, it was forcibly resisted by the Yan army.

With the surprise attack, the rear Cheng Da, Chen Guan, and Wan Qiliang were like moving gables, resisting the counterattack of King Yan's rear formation, but King Yan temporarily avoided the front and retreated for thirty miles, so that the rear of the Bei'an Army could no longer move forward, and there was even a situation of counterpressure in the stalemate.
