Cao Hua's army came violently, and Xu Jiye did not panic in the slightest, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the other party www.biquge.info not do his best, he would not dare to use the Chinese army easily. At this time, looking at the main force of the enemy army on the opposite side and the number of Cao Hua's ambush troops, I thought that the other party had already dispatched the whole army, and it was clear that he wanted to make a move and divide the victory and defeat with himself as soon as possible. The old man has been on the battlefield for many years, how can he be afraid of war?

He looked left and right, and immediately ordered the left army to stand by and resist Cao Hua, and the right army moved closer to the left to be responsible for support, while he personally led the Chinese army forward. Marching to fight, although the ambush is wonderful, it pays attention to a surprise. This place is wide, Cao Hua can not arrive instantly to make the left army vigilant, coupled with Tao Huailiang with artillery warning, Cao Hua has lost the opportunity, this ambush of tens of thousands of people not only can not achieve miraculous results, but is separated from the main force, so that Xu Jiye has the opportunity to break through one by one.

At this time, he just wanted to gather strength, defeat Ji Mingxuan first, and then clean up Cao Hua again.

Both armies moved in earnest, and they really bumped into it, and the sand and dust rolled, shouting to kill and shake the sky. Xu Jiye couldn't help but be full of confidence when he saw Cao Hua make a stupid move, but he seemed to have forgotten a very important thing. The current situation is already 108,000 miles away from his original intention.

He didn't want to fight! I just want to drag the Shu army as much as possible, so that the imperial army can clean them up, so that I can reap the benefits of the fisherman. But I don't know when he started, he inexplicably used all the strength in his hands, not only to fight, but also to fight desperately. Although the generals under his command feel that it is inappropriate, they are ready to shoot at this moment, if they rashly open their mouths to dissuade, Xu Jiye will just listen, if they don't listen, they may end up with a crime of "shaking the hearts of the army".

Seeing that the 50,000 troops in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies had joined the battlefield, Cao Hua, who was sitting on the horse, finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The teacher is cautious in his use of troops, and he does not easily wade into danger, and it is not difficult to defeat him, but it is not easy to win. The elite of Hanzhong led by Sun Lin is under increasing pressure outside the pass, and he must lead the army north to support as soon as possible.

As for Xu Jiye, he is afraid that he will use the golden cicada to get out of his shell? Cao Hua never fought this idea at all. The trick can not be repeated, the two kings have been defeated with this trick before, and if they come again, how can the other party be unprepared? Besides, even if he wanted to repeat his old tricks, the King of Shu would never agree. Chongqing is too close to Chengdu, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes, once Cao Hua leads the army to leave, then Xu Jiye will try his best to attack if he goes crazy, and the fall of Chongqing Mansion will only be in the morning and night, and then Cao Hua will not be able to turn around for a while, and Chengdu will not fall? The base camp is gone, what kind of world do you want?

After all, the old country's ability to observe people's hearts is a little worse, he can see through the hearts of his ministers, but he can't understand the hearts of the kings, and he has been led by the other party unconsciously.

After a head-to-head confrontation, Xu Jiye, who was full of confidence, gradually began to feel that something was wrong. The combat power of the Shu Heavenly Army is far beyond his imagination, and he has never heard that the feudal army can have such combat power, and the elite soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are on par, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the winner after a long battle. Not only that, but he didn't even see the slightest decline from the opponent's soldiers.

The battlefield has always been a giant meat grinder, and after the test is over and the two armies face each other, battle losses begin to appear immediately. At first, it was just a few hundred people, and when Xu Jiye came back to his senses after a fight, he looked at it, and the battle losses on both sides were probably close to four or five thousand people.

Distressed! The reason why the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is called the elite of a hundred battles is mainly because its recruitment requirements are extremely strict, and the elite people naturally become elite soldiers after a hundred battles. At this time, Xu Jiye suddenly woke up. Broken! Caught the other party's way, how could a good person fight hard.

"Mingjin retreats!" People are like this, if the king of Shu has been destroyed, he will fight a decisive battle with the imperial court, even if he has suffered heavy losses in the first battle, Xu Jiye will never feel distressed, in order to achieve the goal, sacrifice is inevitable. But in the face of the Shu army, he didn't really plan to die for Ji Qiyun, and if he continued to fight like this, the loss was definitely not something he could afford. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but retreat in his heart, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

At this moment, a flying horse came from a distance, and the herald jumped off the horse, and said with an anxious face: "Xu Shuai, the big thing is not good!" The Yang family in Banzhou rebelled, and sent 100,000 troops to raid from the rear of our army and seize our army camp. The rear army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, General Yu Tao led the army to counterattack, but the gap between the two sides was too big to stop, and it was already routed by the enemy. General Yu Tao ordered the villain Pegasus to report and asked Xu Shuai to prepare as soon as possible, and the Banzhou rebels were afraid that they would be killed soon. ”

Rao is Xu Jiye has always been calm, and his face couldn't help but change greatly when he heard this at this moment.

"Banzhou consolation envoy Yang Hanwen? How dare he openly rebel? Xu Jiye shouted in a deep voice, but as soon as he finished saying this, he himself had faintly understood. These toasts in Guizhou are already untrustworthy, and they are not convinced by the name of the imperial court. Since Ji Qiyun was able to lure Guizhou Tusi to jointly send troops to attack Chongqing Mansion with heavy profits, Ji Mingxuan could naturally use profits to make the other party fight back. It's just that I don't know what conditions he gave, but he let the Yang family spend such a bloody capital, an army of 100,000, and this force can catch up with the king of a town.

Now he finally understands why Cao Hua divided his troops to ambush him, it is a good thing to be able to achieve miraculous results, even if he can't do anything, it can also hinder Xu Jiye's westward journey. In addition, there is the main force of the Shu army in the north, and the Banzhou rebels in the east, almost forming a situation of encirclement, which is to make dumplings for Xu Jiye.

The situation is very bad, and if you are not careful, the hundreds of thousands of troops may be explained here, Xu Jiye does not dare to be careless, but after thinking about it, it is inevitable that he will not be able to fight if he continues to fight, he can only retreat, but there is only one way to retreat in front of him. There was no choice, Xu Jiye immediately ordered: "Withdraw the troops, the army retreats south, and return to the Xuzhou capital first." ”

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies were well-trained, and although they were stunned when they heard the sound of Mingjin, they did not hesitate at all, and immediately put aside their opponents and slowly retreated in an orderly manner.

Seeing that the other party was about to withdraw, how did Ji Mingxuan not know what was going on? Such an opportunity could not be missed, and he immediately ordered the whole army to pursue him. As for Cao Hua, all this is his handiwork. When he was studying, Xu Jiye once taught him that the matter of the military formation is not only about bravery, but also about strategy.

Buying off the Yang family and sending troops to besiege Xu Jiye was exactly what he had been planning for a long time. Now that there is an effect, the next thing is to find ways to maximize the effect, Cao Hua was very determined, and he was busy swinging his army to kill it, not letting Xu Jiye leave safely. In this battle, he didn't seek to destroy the 180,000 army, Cao Hua didn't have such a big appetite, all he wanted was to completely disperse the morale of the other party. As a result, it will be difficult for the Governors of the Five Armies to form an effective offensive for at least two months.

Out of this mentality, the Shu army's offensive was like beating the water dogs, without the slightest politeness, and tightly clinging to the army of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. Xu Jiye was anxious, but he was helpless. The retreat must be orderly, so that there is no speed to speak of, and if it cannot be fast, it can easily turn into a rout. Therefore, he had to fight and retreat, but after a while, the rear army that had fled finally arrived at the battlefield, and the first thing after entering the battle was still to flee, and behind them there were 100,000 rebels in Banzhou, who had already come forward with great momentum.

When the interruption continues, it will be chaotic, and it cannot wait any longer, once the encirclement is formed, I am afraid that the army will all be explained here. The situation had reached the worst end, and Xu Jiye was not allowed to think about it, so he had to break his wrist and order the whole army to withdraw at full speed. This is at best to say, but in the final analysis, it is actually just one word - run! Run as fast as you can!

The battle formation was already a chaotic scene, and the rout and escape together added to the chaos. Xu Jiye was anxious, galloping on his horse, he didn't want to feel a sudden pain in his heart, he was hit by a cold arrow shot from nowhere, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off the horse, but fortunately, the guards beside him quickly helped him.

The sharp-eyed boss was injured, and Cao Zhong, who was not far from Xu Jiye's side, couldn't help but be furious, he turned his horse's head and shouted: "Guo Lan, Feng Haiping, you two protect Xu Shuai and go first, and the rest of the brothers in the Xuanwu camp will come with me!" ”

The soldiers of the Xuanwu Battalion were trained by Xu Huanting, and they were the elite of the elite, and their orders were still unified even in the noisy and chaotic battlefield. Hearing Cao Zhong's order, thousands of troops quickly assembled and roared back with him to kill the pursuing enemy.

Although the soldiers of the first battalion are brave, they can play a limited role in the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are holding each other. Xu Jiye was defeated in Chongqing and was seriously wounded. When the army fled back to Xuzhou Mansion, after some counting, the 180,000 army when it came, after this battle, there were only 1230,000 left. This kind of battle situation can no longer be described as a major defeat, but a complete defeat.

After the people got food and the horses got the food, the military doctor immediately pulled out the arrow on Xu Jiye's back, wrapped it with medicine, and asked him to recuperate. Xu Jiye was seriously injured, and this arrow was extremely dangerous, and the arrow was only more than an inch away from his heart. The absence of a danger to his life is a great blessing in misfortune.

With an injury to his back and unable to lie on his back, Xu Jiye lay on the bed, and after listening to the statistics of war damage, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed, unspeakably lonely. "I'm old, and I can't really accept old age. This battle is all the fault of the old man, and it is really too light on the enemy. ”

"Xu Shuai... Cao Zhong stood beside the couch and said with an angry face: "It's all because the other party is too insidious to buy that Guizhou toast, otherwise it is unknown who will die in this battle." ”

Cao Zhong can still stand, but his injuries are not much better than Xu Jiye, and his white stripes are like a mummy, but he is not too old, and his physical fitness is good and he is quite durable. Xu Jiye glanced at him, shook his head, and said weakly: "The soldiers are not tired of deceit, but the old man has not thought it through. Thinking that those toasts have always been untrustworthy and unrighteous, not gullible, and the old man was negligent, which led to a fire in the backyard, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the lives of many soldiers were lost in vain. ”

After a pause, he added, "What's the situation outside now?" ”

Cao Zhong let out a "uh", but he didn't dare to hide it, and said silently: "The coalition army is attacking the pass, but our army has enough food and grass, and there will be no loss in defending with all our might." ”

"Cao Hua wants to expand the results of the battle." Xu Jiye frowned and said: "Although this move is suspected of gaining an inch, it is indeed the best way at the moment." Our army is newly defeated, and the army has no fighting spirit. And Banzhou has been reversed, and the way back has been lost. The siege of the army here is indeed a golden opportunity to encircle and annihilate. ”

"Xu Shuai, then let's...

"Let's spend it." Xu Jiye muttered: "We are under a lot of pressure, and the rebels in Hanzhong are not much better, it depends on who can consume whom, Cao Hua will never stay here for too long, the old man estimates, at most, in less than two months, the Shu army will retreat." ”

"Xu Shuai... Cao Zhong's face turned red suddenly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

Xu Jiye didn't know what he was thinking, so he couldn't help but sigh and waved his hand effortlessly. "Write a military newspaper and tie it to the eagle sent by the heir. Tell the girl that if she still wants to see her father for the last time, she will give the old man to come quickly. ”

Cao Zhong couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, he was afraid that Xu Jiye would not be able to pull his face, and he would have to find the field by himself. That Cao Hua is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after this defeat, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies really can't withstand any accidents and blows. Thinking that Xu Huanting would come soon, Cao Zhong was relieved, swept away the haze of today's fiasco, his face was full of red light, and he ran out excitedly.

After everyone in the room retreated one after another, Xu Jiye sighed again, shook his neck invisibly, and muttered softly. "Old, really old."

-------------------------

When Xu Jiye was ordered to go on the expedition that day, Meng Luo knew that this matter was very important, and specially sent the golden-eyed peregrine falcon that Ling Bing left to her to Xu Jiye before Xu Chengsi left, and he didn't say much, only said a word. "With this carving, you can find your sister for the first time."

Cao Zhong got Xu Jiye's approval, and immediately wrote a letter and tied it to the stout right leg of the golden-eyed peregrine falcon. After the release, the bird of prey did not go to Jinling, and flew straight to Yizhou according to instinct.

After a few days, the news of Xu Jiye's defeat in Chongqing finally reached Xu Huanting, and after reading the letter, she didn't stop, and went directly to the heart house.

"Sister Xun'er, my father was defeated in Chongqing, and now he has retreated to Xuzhou, and nearly 300,000 troops are attacking day and night, and the military situation is very urgent. lest she lose, the little sister should immediately go to help in the war," she said bluntly, and suddenly hesitated: "The matter of the princess will bother the sisters to worry." ”

Lu Xun was also very helpless about this, everything was not going well, and it seemed that all the troubles came to the door at the same time. First of all, Jiang Yun fell to Mobei, and has not yet discussed rescue countermeasures, and suddenly heard that the army of the eastern country was assembled, intending to take advantage of the civil strife in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the opportunity to mediate to rekindle the war and recapture the Ryukyus. Now Xu Jiye's side has been defeated and retreated, it is really...

When it comes to the meat in his mouth, Lu Xun will not spit it out. Not to mention that she has already transferred a large number of Yizhou people to the Ryukyu Islands, and the unique strategic position of the Ryukyus alone must not be easily abandoned. If you come out of the east to make a crime, this battle must be fought, and you have to fight it with all your might! Fight to the death! Originally, in the Battle of the Ryukyus, she wanted Xu Huanting to take command of the battle, but who knew that there were branches, which was really annoying.

But since the matter has already come out, what can be done except to let her go as soon as possible? Now Yizhou and Jiangnan are grasshoppers on a rope, and if there is a problem with the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it will not benefit anyone, and this matter is the most important thing, and it is more than the Ryukyu problem. Lu Xun is worthy of being a masterpiece in the world, and he immediately measured it clearly, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Sister, it's okay to go, but before leaving, you still need to ask Ling Bing for another golden-eyed peregrine falcon." If the battle ahead is not going well, you can write to me, and my sister will personally bring the army to the rescue. ”

"Okay." Xu Huanting also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so after a little thanks, she hurriedly turned around and walked out to prepare.
