Returning to the Dingcheng camp, washing away the dust of the rush, Liu Yuan summoned the generals to the Dingcheng Hall to discuss the army.

"Today, Lone personally went to the enemy camp to investigate, Duan Xuan wanted to set up a fortress to defend according to the danger, even if our army was elite, several times the enemy, it could not be rushed down. Duan Xuan, according to today's conversation, his will to resist is resolute, and he has both the ability to defend, if he defends it, our army wants to advance eastward, I am afraid it will be difficult! Liu Yuan knelt down on the desk and said carefully.

Hearing Liu Yuan say this, the relaxed atmosphere calmed down, Liu Yuan looked around, and there was not much solemnity on his face: "However, watching the enemy in isolation, although it is dangerous, it has not been completed, and it is not as narrow as Jingcheng and Hangu, and it needs to be garrisoned by a large army." Duan Xuan set up a village, but its troops were weak, and he was determined to approach the enemy camp tomorrow, and sent troops to test it, saying that the enemy guarded two catties! By the way, force Duan Xuan, Li, Guo and others, it's too slow! The lone soldiers are coming to the city, and they haven't arrived yet! ”

"No!"

……

"General Xia's army has withdrawn!" The subordinate colonel had the feeling of "the rest of his life after the catastrophe", looked at the slowly retreating beggar army, and said to Duan Xuan. There were some sword scratches on the armor on his body, stained with blood.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Yuan decisively led the army to the southwest and was located in Xiazhai five miles away from the enemy camp. Then he led the army to attack and forced the Duan battalion.

Storming the camp, such a matter of consuming soldiers to attack, naturally fell on the beggar army. To be included in this army, this is their fate. More than 5,000 barbarians were newly added, only equipped with military weapons, and they had not been trained much.

The beggar sergeants who had survived the bloody battle before were promoted after this expansion, and most of them served as the captains of the grassroots teams. However, he still hasn't survived, he still has to continue to fight, continue to fight for his own life with the enemy's head, earn military merits, and not until he becomes a middle- and upper-level officer, so that he can get out of the most cruel and dangerous front-line fight.

This time, the beggar army has the foundation of previous veterans, and it is much stronger than when it first became an army. At least, in terms of command, although it is still impossible to order and prohibit, it is enough for Bald Rose.

The Duan army camp, according to the mountain pass, stretched for more than a mile, and the depth was sufficient, but with the small number of Duan soldiers, they had resisted the impact of the begging army before, and they also felt quite pressure.

The sturdy fence wall, which looked a little dilapidated at this time, was hit by the rushing car of the Xia army, although it was carried by it, it also left some gaps, and there were soldiers repairing it.

On the front line of the barracks, there are many corpses of Xia Jun, and they are in a miserable state. Looking at it, Duan Xuan sighed a little: "These Xia troops are too crazy, and the battle is disorderly, but they are so desperate, it's terrifying!" ”

"Pass the order! Treat the wounded soldiers, rest and be on standby, and the soldiers who have not participated in the battle will strengthen the damaged wall of the general, and send people to patrol closely, without a moment's break! Duan Xuan looked at the beggar who had withdrawn from afar, and ordered in a cold voice.

The Xia army is not very far away, and you can see the outline of the huge military camp from afar, stretching for several miles. It is already clear that there are tens of thousands of enemy troops, and they are all fierce men. In the depths of Duan Xuan's eyes, it was a little dark, today's attack by the Xia army was obviously just a temptation, and he did not go all out.

If you only rely on his men and horses, relying on this pass that has not yet been built, it will be difficult to resist the Xia army! At this point, Duan Xuan knew in his heart that for the first time, Li Dao and Guo Yan, who had always looked down on him, were full of expectations in his heart, how could they be born so slowly!

Duan Xuan sat still, and the reinforcements that he thought about day and night had already entered the territory of Huayin at this time. Of course, Li Dao and Guo Yan knew that the soldiers were fast, but because the reaction was not fast before, the Xia army had already crossed south, so they decided to move. It took some time to force the Son of Heaven to go on the expedition, and it took some time to pull the skin, and then gather the soldiers who gathered and scattered Chang'an and Jingzhaoyin, prepared grain and grass, and everything came to the aid properly, as far as a few people were concerned, it was fast enough.

The two joined forces and rode a total of 40,000 pace. Hearing Li Guozhi's coming, Duan Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief, ordered his subordinates to take charge of defense, and personally led his guards to the west to welcome the army of two.

The marching dragon of tens of thousands of steps crossed Huayin and met Duan Xuan's party who rushed over. Looking ahead, the Son of Heaven's car was tightly "protected" in the center, and on the side were the cars of some ministers accompanying him. Duan Xuan sighed slightly in his heart, this son of the Han family has really become the plaything of Li Guo and the others, and he has been wrapped up in personal recruitment.

Although it was a puppet, when the Son of Heaven came, Duan Xuan still took the lead in coming forward to pay respects, kneeling three times and knocking nine times: "Minister, Marquis of Huayin, General Zuo Duan Xuan, see Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie lifted the curtain and poked his head out, his face was not very good-looking after the bumps along the way, but when he saw Duan Xuan, who was kneeling on the ground "respectfully", he still said softly: "General, no courtesy!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"That's it! Your Majesty is tired of carriages and horses, and urgently needs to rest, come, send the Son of Heaven to continue to move forward, and rest in Dazhai! After Li Dao rode his horse, he urged the halted army to continue marching, very domineering, and turned his head to look at Duan Xuan: "General Duan, what are you still kneeling for, the Son of Heaven is exempt from your salute!" ”

When Liu Xie, who was on the royal car, heard this, his face turned cold, his fists were clenched, and he met Li Dao's vicious gaze, but he didn't dare to speak. Tear down the bead curtain hard, this is the only "counterattack" he can make.

"Two generals, it's coming! If it drags on for a while, I'm afraid that the Xia army has already entered Kouweinan! Duan Xuan said with a serious expression, he didn't need to be "respectful" to Li Dao and Guo Yan, he was not just for himself.

"Zhongming guarded the fortress and resisted the Xia army, hard work! What's going on today? The three of them walked side by side, a little dissatisfied with Duan Xuan's attitude, but still asked patiently.

"The Xia army rode tens of thousands of steps to knock on the pass, and my troops were weak, so I had to defend it according to the danger, even so, I felt great pressure. The combat power of the Xia army, the two of them should know it in their hearts, not to mention that this time it was Liu Yuan, the king of Xia, who came in person, and he should be the most elite soldier of the Xia country. Fortunately, the two of them finally arrived, and it was not too late! However, even with the help of the two, our army still has to be on the defensive, and it is not the opponent of the Xia army, I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the Xia army! ”

Hearing Duan Xuan say this, Li Dao and Guo Yan's mood sank, and they seemed to remember the scene when they were under Niu Fu, with 30,000 soldiers, and they were still dominated by Xubu Chiyi in Hedong. Now that Liu Yuan is close to him, it is difficult to deal with, and the two of them also expected it in their hearts.

"No matter what, now that we are waiting for the combined army, the strength is not weaker than the Xia army, and it is no problem to defend according to the pass and hold the attack of the Xia army! What's more, Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang have already led an army to help, and we will gather another 100,000 troops, for fear that his Xia army will do something, or it may be defeated, it is not impossible! Li Dao seemed to be comforting himself.

"We are all old generals, and at this time of crisis, we still need to help each other and fight the enemy. Hu Xia wants to get his hands on our territory, and he must be beaten back! Duan Xuan replied.

"Loyalty's words are reasonable!"

Li Guo's army came to help, which immediately made up for Duan Xuan's lack of troops, joined the defensive battalion, and took over the guarding stronghold. Xia Guotanma has been monitoring Duan Ying, and the movements of the enemy army quickly spread to Liu Yuan's side, and without making a detailed report, Liu Yuan knew that Li Guo's reinforcements had arrived.

"King! Li Guo did come to the aid as you thought, but now that he has arrived, if he wants to solve the previous obstacles, I am afraid that it will be more difficult, and he has to find a way to break the enemy! In the king's tent, Li Ru said to Liu Yuan.

When Liu Yuan heard this, his fingers drew circles on the case, and he didn't care about it: "Don't worry, put some pressure on them." The beggar army has not yet been trained, and the rest of the Guanzhong generals have not yet gathered, wait, there is lonely patience! ”
