Deng Qiang lit the wolf smoke, which is likely to be a signal to cooperate with the breakthrough.

The reinforcements of the Han army can only come from the northeast, and Deng Qiang has only this way to go.

However, the wolf smoke rose on the southwest hill of Tsukasa Ling Mountain, could it be that Deng Qiang wanted to break through from the southwest?!

No way!

The southwest is the direction of the blue sky. Over there, it is the control area of the Xiliang Army. Lantian Valley is well defended, and it is impossible to break through easily in Chang Yuchun, how to rush to support?

However, why did Deng Qiang send a signal to the southwest?!

Duan Shaohu was puzzled.

The Han army has another trick? Or is Deng Qiang playing tricks?

Duan Shao was in a dilemma.

Continue the siege and wait and see what happens, lest you fall into the trap of the enemy. The troops withdrew and retreated to Lantian, unwilling, and unable to explain to Yang Guang.

"Someone, is there a letter from the direction of Lantian?"

"General, not yet, the scouts from Lantian City and Lantian Valley arrive every day in the evening."

"Hmm...... Pass the order, the whole army is equipped with a bundle of equipment, ready to stand by at any time! ”

Lantian has no worries for the time being, and it is really unwilling to retreat and defend. Duan Shao decided to wait one more night and make a decision depending on the situation in Lantian.

Lantian is more important than the trapped Deng Qiang. If there is an abnormality in Lantian, it must be quickly retreated. If Lantian is stable, launch a strong attack and capture Deng Qiang!

……

In the evening, the Lantian scouts arrived as scheduled.

Everything was normal in Lantian, which made Duan Shao feel a little at ease. The order goes down, all departments are on strict alert tonight, use up dinner, rest immediately, recuperate, and launch a strong attack on Tsukasa Ling Mountain in the early morning of tomorrow, regardless of the cost!

……

It's silent.

Tonight's Tsukasa Ling Mountain, the mountains are exceptionally quiet. Not only the soldiers on both sides, but even the insects who were usually noisy seemed to feel that the bloody battle was about to begin, and they became very well-behaved and unusually quiet......

Duan Shao tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

After tossing and turning for a long time, he finally felt sleepy, and just after closing his heavy eyes, Duan Shao suddenly woke up!

In the barracks, there were bursts of exclamations!

It's not loud, but in the silence of the night, it's exceptionally clear and terrifying!

Duan Shao jumped up and rushed out of the big tent, his face was pale and terrifying.

"Who exclaimed?! Daring! ”

The barracks are a place of slaughter, and no one is allowed to make noise, let alone shout. Especially in the middle of the night, a scream can cause panic in the whole army, and even cause an uncontrollable battalion roar (commonly known as the bombing of the battalion).

In any unit, screaming in the middle of the night is a capital offense.

Duan Shao was furious and drew his sword.

"Fire! Fire! Lantian is lost! ”

A pawn on duty at night, staggered and ran, panicked, shouting as he ran.

Looking in the direction of the pawn's finger, I saw the direction of Lantian City in the southwest, which was faintly red!

Yes!

Duan Shao was shocked!

Lantian on fire?! Lantian City lost?!

The beads of sweat the size of the bean fell in an instant, and Duan Shao felt a palpitation and almost fainted.

No way!

Last night, a letter from Lantian City also said that everything in the surrounding area was normal, and there was no sign of enemy activity. And Ma Shumou, the defender of Lantian Valley, also reported that although the enemy Chang Yuchun still continued to attack, the camp of Lantian Valley was impregnable.

When pigs fly!

The Han army is not a heavenly soldier and a general, and there is no possibility that within one day, it will first break through Lantian Valley and then capture Lantian City.

"Lantian City is lost, it's over! It's over! ”

The pawn was terrified and screamed.

"Bastard!"

Duan Shao was annoyed and ashamed, the long sword swung violently, and with a "click", the pawn's head fell to the ground!

"General!"

Several battalions rushed over when they heard the sound, all dressed neatly, carrying weapons, and looking nervous.

"General......" Battalion Zuo asked in a low voice in an inquiring tone.

"Herald!" Duan Shao's face was horrible white, and the corners of his mouth were twisted vigorously, which made people shudder.

"No!"

"Those who dare to speak falsely and disturb the morale of the army will be killed!" Duan Shao handed down the order word by word.

"No!"

"Herald! All units and battalions, assembled their troops, and returned to Lantian. ”

"No!"

The lieutenant of the battalion dispersed, and beside Duan Shao, a cronie junior colonel quietly pointed to the mound and led the mountain, and asked in a low voice: "General, the Deng thief has not been destroyed, if the top asks questions, what should I do?" ”

This statement hits the nail on the head.

Duan Shao couldn't sleep and eat, and this was exactly what happened. has already boasted of Haikou, captured and killed Deng Qiang, and returned in vain, how to explain? !

The lord Yang Guang is moody, so the resignation and loss of official affairs are small, and if you don't do it well, your head will be difficult to protect!

In a dilemma, the only thing Duan Shao can do is to choose the lesser of two evils. Comparatively speaking, it is even more important to keep Lantian City.

At this moment, the overall situation and strategic deployment are secondary, and saving one's life is the wisest choice.

Duan Shao, who was born in a family, has understood a truth since he was a child, power is more important than life. For the general who commands the army, the territory of soldiers and horses is power and bargaining chips, and lives can be lost, and power cannot be lost!

If you lose your territory, you are like a lost dog, even if you are a pawn of a peddler, you can also be bullied.

"Go back to Lantian!" Duan Shao was resolute and added. "Remind the ministries again, don't make noise! Don't panic! But those who violate it will be killed! ”

In the direction of Lantian, the fire reflects the sky. The main general ordered the withdrawal of troops, and the soldiers of Xiliang were panicked. It's just that the military order is strict, and no one dares to make a noise......

……

This night, Duan Shao had no sleep.

The war is imminent, and Deng Qiang on the mountain has no sleep.

"Deng Shuai! Fire! The fire is burning! ”

Deng Qiang kept staring in the direction of Lantian and waved his fists excitedly. "Hey! Attaboy! ”

"Deng Shuai, rush it! It's time to clean up the Xiliang dog under the mountain! "Being besieged by the Xiliang Army for too long, the soldiers of the Han Army held back their anger, and they couldn't bear it anymore.

"Don't shout!"

Deng Qiang snorted, and all the soldiers stopped.

The enemy is strong and we are weak, and only by waiting for the best time can we launch an attack.

Deng Qiang jumped onto the high mountain rock, staring at the Xiliang military camp with a pair of eyes.

Although there was a strict order, no one in the Xiliang Army dared to speak loudly, but the messy and shaking torches represented the enemy's uneasy mind, how could they escape Deng Qiang's eyes.

"Hehe, surnamed Duan, want to run? Dream! ”

Deng Qiang jumped off the rock. "Unarmoured by the whole army, assemble! Silence! ”

The soldiers of the Han army quickly took off their armor and assembled. Long and heavy weapons, don't give up, the soldiers of the Han army, all short shirts and short blades, each holding a branch in their hands.

"Don't snort when you fall down the mountain!"

Deng Qiang said, took the lead in biting the branch in his mouth, and the soldiers of the Han army, learning from the appearance of the commander, held the title in his mouth.

Deng Qiang waved his short knife, and his subordinates quietly rushed down the mountain according to the route they had already chosen......

……

After being busy for more than half an hour, the Xiliang army finally assembled and began to retreat in the direction of Lantian City.

Duan Shao's eyes were always staring at the southwest.

The sky in the direction of Lantian City was already fiery red. Although he repeatedly reminded himself that it was impossible for the Han army to break through Lantian so quickly, Duan Shao still couldn't suppress the panic in his heart.

"Inform the front army, speed up!"

Suddenly!

Behind the Xiliang Army, the shouts suddenly rose!

"Rush! Kill! Capture Duan Shao alive! Capture Yang Guang alive! Kill......"

"Uh......h Whining...... Woowoo woo ......"

The horn of the Han army's counterattack, with a rush sound, was like a sharp blade cutting through the darkness before dawn, hanging high above the head of the Xiliang army!
