The fire in Fangcheng County was full of smoke, and the black smoke that rose into the sky could be seen dozens of miles away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The entire Fangcheng County was burned by the fire, and Fengyu also rushed to Nanyang after carrying out Li Chu's order.

Nanyang, Fangcheng County's fire can see a little symptom in Nanyang, and soon the news was passed to Nanyang General Liu Min. The spies came to report that the thick smoke over there should be caused by the burning in Fangcheng County.

"Burned? It's okay to burn it. ”

Liu Min was thinking about something, he didn't think so, he didn't think so, now he was having a headache about this in the county, the weather was gradually warming, the situation in Fangcheng County would definitely cause a big epidemic, as the main general of the party, he was not stupid, and now the cavalry of the Qilin Army went out of Fangcheng Mountain and drove away the people in the county.

The cavalry of the Qilin Army appeared here, Liu Min is not surprised, since the last attack on Yexian failed, when the 40,000 army was empty, he has been waiting for the Qilin Army's retaliation, but the Qilin Army's retaliation did not arrive, but the news that the imperial court sent 200,000 troops to conquer the Qilin Army, and now the 200,000 troops are near Chen Yingchang's mansion, and they are fighting with the Qilin Army, but in the past few days, I don't know why the two armies have suddenly stopped moving.

The 200,000 army conscripted the Qilin Army, Liu Min was also worried, once the Qilin Army was destroyed, the next action of the court would definitely be to come in the west to fight Wang Qing, his Nanyang, as the gateway of the King of Chu in the east, was the place that must be rushed, and after the Qilin Army was defeated, he would naturally have to fight him Nanyang, otherwise the court would send 200,000 troops to eat dry rice this time?

One is prosperous, one is lost, Liu Min even had an idea in his heart whether to help the Qilin Army, because the Qilin Army is in front of Nanyang, if the Qilin Army can be saved, there will be the Qilin Army as a buffer on the eastern portal in the future.

"It seems that the Qilin Army should be defeated, but there are so many cavalry from this Qilin Army? Are you sure you can see clearly, there are really more than 3,000 riders? ”

Liu Min didn't dare to ask uncertainly, now that the Qilin Army is at war with the imperial court, but it appears here at this moment, it can only mean one thing, that is, the Qilin Army has been defeated, and it is still a big defeat, and it is so defeated that it has to flee to this side, otherwise there is no reason to come to Nanyang at this time.

And the news of the horse exploration also said that after this group of cavalry drove away the soldiers of Fangcheng County, they went south directly, and did not come to Nanyang City, which deepened Liu Min's judgment, but now the news of the horse exploration in Rufen Town has not returned, otherwise it will be clear how the Qilin army was defeated.

Zheng Jie said: "General, should we intercept them?" ”

Liu Min shook his head with a wry smile, intercept?

What to intercept?

What is the situation in Nanyang today, you and I are not clear as the masters? The Qilin Army can defeat 40,000 people here with less than 10,000 foot soldiers, and now there are only more than 3,000 people, if it is a foot soldier, it is okay, there is still hope for a forced attack, but the cavalry, why do you go to stop it.

There is a serious shortage of war horses on the Nanyang side, and the only war horses have been pulled away by Wang Qing, and the rest of the Nanyang side is only ten more than riding, not to mention that everyone has already gone away, you go to intercept it now, don't make a bad counterattack when the time comes, you will be wiped out.

What made Liu Min even more uneasy was that the Qilin Army was defeated, the westward advance of the imperial court army was inevitable, Nanyang was about to become the first place to rush, and it was too late to defend at such an important juncture, where was there still time and energy to intercept the fleeing Qilin Army? Now Nanyang's great enemy is the imperial army, not the Qilin army.

Liu Min shook his head and said: "Let them go, out of Nanyang, this Qilin Army is none of our business, let Xiangyang have a headache, now we are focusing on the side of Rufen Town, it is estimated that it will not be long before the imperial court will come to levy us after the collection of those places." ”

"The Imperial Court?" Zheng Jie was puzzled.

Liu Min sighed and said, "Otherwise, why do you think the Qilin Army is coming here?" This is to avoid the soldiers of the imperial court. ”

Zheng Jie was dumbfounded.

Liu Min shook his head in his heart, the news of such an important matter still came too late, if he received the news earlier, he would send someone to intercept the Qilin Army at that time, saying that he could not take this opportunity to persuade the Qilin Army to join Nanyang's side.

After all, this time is not as good as in the past, the Qilin Army in the past was quite beautiful, but now it has been defeated by the imperial army, and it has fled like a lost dog, and if it is smart, it will definitely choose to surrender here to settle down.

"General, what now?" Zheng Jie asked hurriedly.

What else can I do?

Liu Min smiled bitterly, the situation has changed too quickly, and today's Nanyang is no longer the Nanyang that defeated the enemy all the way back then.

While Liu Min was thinking about a solution, a small soldier from outside came to report, saying that he had found a large number of Qilin troops coming to Nanyang.

A large number of unicorn troops?

Liu Min got up instantly, and was stunned by the large number of words of this little soldier, and hurriedly asked, "How many Qilin troops are here?" ”

Xiao Bing said: "There are a lot, there are a lot, it looks like there should be thirty or forty thousand." ”

Thirty or forty thousand?

Liu Min was stunned, how could it be! He couldn't tell what the herald soldier looked like, so he immediately said to the left and right: "Come with me to the city tower to have a look." ”

When Liu Min took Zheng Jie to the North Gate Tower, when he looked outside, he was instantly stunned again.

There is a white river next to Wancheng, the white river flows from north to south to the Han water that flows into Xiangyang, the south of the Wancheng city wall is the white river, and the east city gate is also the white river eight miles away, it is cut off by the white river from north to south, the Qilin army is the white river that crosses the white river from the Pushan mountain pass, and then goes south to Wancheng from the north.

Now, outside the eastern, northern, and western gates of Wancheng are the Qilin Army.

Although the armor clothes they wore were not the red unicorn suits they were familiar with before, nor were they blue unicorn suits, Liu Min was very impressed by the unicorn banner of the unicorn army.

Outside the eastern, northern, and western gates, each gate has at least 10,000 Qilin troops gathered outside the city, of which the north gate has the most, and there are more than 20,000 soldiers at the north gate alone.

Dong Ping rode out alone with two spears, came to the gate of Wancheng a hundred steps away, pointed the spear in his hand at the tower of Wancheng, and shouted loudly:

"Where is the thief king Qing, don't hurry up and surrender the city."

"Who the hell are you?"

Liu Min was suspicious, how many people there are in the Qilin Army, and he is very clear on his side, at most there are less than 20,000 at most, but now that so many soldiers suddenly appeared, this is definitely not the Qilin Army.

"Hmph, I'm Dong Ping, the commander of the Qilin Water Margin Army, when will you not go out of the city to be surrendered?"

Liu Min snorted lightly and instructed the archers at the head of the city: "Shoot him, shoot this guy off my horse." ”

Arrows rained down on the city immediately, and Dong Ping blocked a few with two guns and pushed back a little.

Liu Min said: "Hmph, what kind of person are you waiting for, isn't the person who hides his head and shows his face a hero." ”

"You guy, I said it all, I am the commander of the Qilin Water Margin Army, believe it or not, now that my army is here, Wang Qing, you don't want to go out of the city quickly and surrender."
