While Schle was arranging the withdrawal of troops, rumors suddenly spread in the barracks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Some people say that Qianhu went north because he fell into Liaodong's plan to lure the enemy; Some people also say that the great Sima Weishuo has led the main force of the Liaodong Army to surround the Qianhu regiments, and will soon launch an attack on the Qianhu; It is also said that the Liaodong army had broken through Xiangguo and slaughtered all the Hulu in the city when it was heading north.

In short, all kinds of news that was unfavorable to the Kahu spread throughout the camp in an instant, and for a time the people of the Kahu generals were panicked, and even affected Shile's withdrawal plan.

In desperation, Shi Le had to bring Zhang Bin, Xu Guang and other staff members to discuss countermeasures.

"Meng Sun, right now, the generals and soldiers of our army are panicked and have no intention of doing things. I am worried that if this goes on without the Liaodong Army to attack, the army will collapse on its own, I don't know if Meng Sun has a countermeasure in his heart? ”

"The lord is not in a hurry, the reason why the soldiers are restless is just because the war is not going well, and the lord suddenly issued an order to withdraw the army, plus there is Liaodong Xiaozuo to provoke it. If you want to solve the current dilemma, you only need to find a reason for the withdrawal that is acceptable to all the generals, and the rumors will be self-defeating. ”

"The reason for the withdrawal? Lack of food and grass? Xiangguo is in crisis? None of this seems appropriate? Xu Guang smiled bitterly.

"What Ji Wu said is very reasonable, if the army is withdrawn because of the lack of food and grass, I am afraid that it will not be able to calm the people's hearts, but may add fuel to the fire. The minister thought that he might as well arrange the withdrawal of the army on the grounds that Lord Cheng was seriously ill and urgently needed the lord to return to Xiangguo! ”

……

While Shi Le was anxious to evacuate, Wei Shuo led an army of 200,000 troops and had just arrived at Fangcheng, which was located in the southeast of Zhuo County. Before he could catch his breath, he saw Huangfu really hurrying to his side.

"Lord, the scout has reported urgently, Qianhu has stopped the siege of Zhuoxian. It is said that Shile is not a person who gives up easily, is there something wrong in the middle? ”

"It's not good, Shile wants to escape!" Wei Shuo glanced at the emergency report and looked in the direction of Zhuoxian.

Huangfu really thought about it carefully, it was really like that.

Shi Le himself is very shrewd, and coupled with Zhang Bin, who has a plan around him, it is impossible for Qianhu not to notice it in the slightest after such a long time.

"Chu Ji, let everyone speed up and rush to Zhuo County as soon as possible, be sure to surround the other party before the retreat of Qianhu, and never let a Hulu escape. In addition, send more scouts to inquire about the news and report the movements of the Hu at any time. ”

After speaking, Wei Shuo raised his horsewhip and whipped the horse's back, and quickly ran towards Zhuoxian,

……

In Zhuoxian County, Xue Tao, who was resting because of the cessation of the attack by the Qianghu, naturally discovered the abnormality of the Qianghu army outside the city.

"My lord, it seems that the Qianghu is about to withdraw his troops, have they found something?" Joining the army worried.

Xue Tao observed with a solemn face for a while, and suddenly said: "No matter what, you can't let Qianhu escape, otherwise Liaodong's plan to gather and annihilate Hulu will fall short." ”

"But now that the main army has not yet arrived, how can the remnants of the army in the city be able to stop the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city?"

"If you can't stop it, you have to stop it! Pass my command: Open the city gate, immediately attack Hulu, and try to hold Hulu as much as possible! ”

"No!" The soldiers received the order with a bang.

After the defenders of Zhuoxian County made some preparations, 15,000 soldiers immediately rushed out of the south gate and launched an attack on Hulu.

Seeing this scene, many Qianhu people quickly confirmed their guesses, and at the same time had an intuitive understanding of the situation of the army.

Shi Le, who was riding on a horse, looked at the Liaodong Army that was desperately trying to break through the Qianhu blockade, and was not very worried. He had already arranged the blocking force in advance, and it was impossible to threaten the safety of the army with less than 20,000 horses in the city, and what really worried Shi Le was the main force of the Liaodong Army, which was still missing.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, an arrow flew over Shile's head and landed not far behind him, injuring one of his guards. Shi Le was nothing, but he frightened the other people's faces to change greatly.

"Lord, it's too dangerous here, why don't you move back!" Xu Guang saw that Shi Le was almost lost, so frightened that his heart jumped, and he hurriedly persuaded loudly.

Shi Le shook his head, rejected Xu Guang's kindness, pointed to the battlefield that was being fought hotly, and said: "The brothers are fighting bloodily for the withdrawal of the army, and as the lord, I didn't personally go into battle to kill the enemy, so how can I still hide behind?" I'm going to stand here and boost my morale. ”

Seeing that Shi Le was unmoved, and what the other party said was very reasonable, Xu Guang didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and arranged for several guards to hold shields around Shile.

The offensive of the Liaodong Army became more and more fierce, and it did not care about its own casualties at all. And the resistance of the Kahu is equally resolute, and neither of us nor the enemy can help the other for the time being.

Although Xue Tao's attack caused some confusion to Qianhu, it did not affect Qianhu's retreat plan. Seeing that the main force of Qianhu was still arranging the evacuation in an orderly manner, Xue Tao was inevitably a little anxious in his heart, and constantly commanded his subordinates to launch a continuous offensive against Qianhu.

It's a pity that the defenders have long been exhausted after the tragic battle to defend the city, and now they can't break through the opponent's defense line for a while in the face of the desperate resistance of the Kahu.

Several successive offensives were effective, and Xue Tao realized that the Qianhu in front of him had not collapsed due to the encirclement, and the army was still as stable as Mount Tai under Shi Le's control. The remnants of the Zhuoxian garrison alone could not hold back the main force of Qianhu at all, and at the moment they could only hope that the main force of the army would appear as soon as possible.

……

"Report! Lord, Liaodong reinforcements have arrived, less than ten miles to the east of our army. ”

Shi Le's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "How many people are there?" ”

"There are tens of thousands of cavalry alone, and there are countless infantry behind."

Xu Guang's face changed dramatically, and he hurriedly looked at Shi Le and said, "Lord, this must be the main force of the Liaodong Army, I didn't expect it to come so soon." ”

"Hmph, it seems that Liaodong is determined to win this time!"

"The lord doesn't have to worry, the Liaodong army is coming from afar, and our army may not have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

"Hmmm! It makes sense. ”

Shi Le's face turned pale, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, you have all seen the situation in front of you, the main force of the Liaodong Army has been surrounded, and we have no way to retreat!" If you want to return to Xiangguo alive to reunite with your relatives, you can only fight hard and defeat the current enemy, otherwise everyone will die without a place to be buried. ”

"The last general will wait far away to kill the enemy!"

"Good! The generals listened to the order, and all the troops discarded all the materials, with Kong Chang as the vanguard, Shi Hu and Zhiqu Liu as the left and right wings, and the whole army immediately set off to the east to prepare for the battle! ”

The generals of the Qianhu took the order one after another, turned around and went to gather the men and horses, among which the 10,000 cavalry under Kong Chang first rushed towards the Liaodong army. Less than a mile after the army went out, Kong Chang encountered Chen An, the forward general of the Liaodong Army.

"General, Liaodong cavalry has been found ahead!"

Kong Chang didn't talk nonsense after he got the report, and directly ordered loudly: "Brothers, rush up with me to kill the Guangjin people, kill!" ”

Looking at the Qianhu cavalry that was gradually rushing up, Chen An showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth and said, "Hmph! Don't measure yourself, the whole army attacked, and killed all the caravan! ”

The two cavalry of the enemy and us were like two rolling torrents, colliding in an instant, and stirring up infinite waves. The enemy and our cavalry were close to each other and quickly became entangled. At first, the two sides won and lost, and soon Hu Lu gradually became a little overwhelmed. Obviously, Hu Qi's combat power is still affected by some factors, and if you look closely, you will find that many Hu Qi seem absent-minded when fighting.

However, because Kong Chang was still fighting with Chen An, with the help of Kong Chang's bravery, the Hulu could still hold on, and they would not be immediately defeated by the Liaodong Army.

……

After receiving the news of the striker's engagement, Wei Shuo's spirit was shocked, and he immediately ordered to speed up and race against the clock to kill Zhuoxian.

In order to completely eliminate Hulu, Wei Shuo decided to attack Hulu from three directions with 200,000 troops in his hands, in three parts, and launch a full-scale siege on Hulu.

"Lord, the army is assembled and ready to attack at any time."

Wei Shuo looked at the soldiers around him and shouted: "Soldiers, it has been more than ten years since Hu Lu rebelled in the Central Plains during the Yongjia period, and during this period, countless Li people died in the hands of Qianhu. Today is the time to avenge the hatred of our compatriots, please all the soldiers must move forward bravely and do not let go of a Hulu! Pass on my command: Anyone who is born in Hulu will be killed! ”

"Kill Hu! Kill Hu! ”

Suddenly, only the Liaodong Army was left in the whole world with the fanatical shouting of killing, and after being heard by Hu Lu in the distance, his face suddenly changed, and he suddenly thought of the famous name of the Liaodong Army. (To be continued.) )
