From Fei County to Xintai County to the north is about 100 miles away from Xintai County, almost a day's journey, because Pei Xingyan has led a thousand troops to the north to rescue Dong'an County, Zhang Xuan slightly settled, he led 4,000 troops to Xintai County to the north.

At the same time, Pei Renji's army had reached Hancheng Town, about fifty miles from Xintai County, which was an almost abandoned town, and the originally prosperous town of more than 200 families was now in ruins, leaving only a few old people waiting for their old homes.

Bae In-ki didn't want to garrison troops in Hancheng, which made him feel unlucky, but he got news from Xintai County at this time, so he had to stop in Hancheng for a while.

The Sui army scouts found three Sui soldiers who escaped from Xintai County, and they brought Pei Renji the truth about the fall of Xintai County, and it was Pei Renji's most trusted Luo Zhenyu who deceived the city gate and entered Xintai County, and the arrow he gave Luo Zhenyu became the key to deceiving Jia Runfu's trust.

Pei Renji was deeply shocked, he seemed to be much older in a short period of time, Luo Zhenyu turned out to be a fraud, he didn't see it at all, he still believed in this person so much, why didn't he see it?

Pei Renji walked alone to a small hill, looking at the dense pine forest on the mountain, he closed his eyes in pain, it was his blind cronies who led to the fiasco of the Sui army in Xintai County, and also led to the reversal of the bandits in Langya County. He has an inescapable responsibility.

At this time, Qin Qiong came behind Pei Renji, and after a long time, he said in a low voice: "Dashuai, the matter has come to this, don't blame yourself anymore, fight the battle behind us well, and we can recapture Xintai County again." ”

"I know, but not now!"

Pei Renji turned around, sighed and said to Qin Qiong: "The food in our hands does not allow us to confront the thief army any longer. Our top priority is to withdraw to Qi County, and Langya County will suppress bandits in the long run, I plan to go directly to Lu County, and you will send someone to inform Zhang Xuan and let him withdraw from Gaomi County, and I will talk to him in detail in the future. ”

Qin Qiong knew that Pei Renji was a little ashamed of Zhang Xuan. Only then did he let himself contact Zhang Xuan, and he nodded silently, "Send someone to deliver the letter." ”

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted in the distance, "Dashuai! Urgent information. ”

Pei Renji hurriedly walked up and asked in a loud voice, "What happened?" ”

A soldier rushed forward, "Commander, the scouts have found the main force of the thief army thirty miles to the south, about 20,000 people. It's coming after us! ”

Pei Renji was secretly surprised, did Wang Bo's army come so quickly? He immediately asked Liang Xun to come and asked him, "How much food do we have now?" ”

"Coach Qiqi, it will last about two days."

Pei Renji quickly made a judgment in his heart, even if they entered Lu County now, they would enter the boundless mountainous area, and they would not be able to get supplies for at least three or four days, and now the nearest county seat to them was Dong'an County. It only takes a day and a half to arrive.

What's worse is that they only have two days' worth of food, and Wang Bo obviously knows this. Won't fight him head-on, it will only continue to consume his time.

At this time, Pei Renji didn't want to fight anymore, he knew what he should choose, ended his rest, and marched to Dong'an County. Withdraw from Langya County first.

The 15,000 Sui troops got up one after another, quickly assembled, and turned around and rushed towards Dong'an County in the north.

Just as the Sui army had just left Hancheng Town, several thief army spies walked out of the black pine forest outside the town, and they looked at the Sui army brigade in the distance. Immediately turn the horse's head and run south.

．．．．．．

Less than 100 miles from Xintai County to Dong'an County, most of the way is hilly and mountainous, sparsely populated, covered by large forests, the Sui army marched all the way, about twenty miles, he walked into a gentle hilly area, the flat official road has disappeared, they need to march on the undulating slopes.

Due to the narrowness of the road, it was impossible to march in groups, and the ranks of the Sui army became longer and longer, extending from less than two li to seven or eight li, and this was not a short time to end, it seemed that this marching form had to be maintained all the way to Dong'an County.

Qin Qiong looked at the terrain on both sides, the pine forests on both sides could not be seen at a glance, the wind blew through the pine forests and made a roaring sound, he couldn't help frowning, this kind of terrain made the team too long, and it was easy to be ambushed.

Qin Qiong hurriedly caught up with Pei Renji and shouted, "Big Shuai, let the scouts patrol the surroundings!" It feels a little bad to be humiliated. ”

As soon as Qin Qiong's words fell, he heard a burst of bangzi sound suddenly, and dense arrows shot towards the Sui army from all directions, thousands of former troops were caught off guard, and they were suddenly shot down, screaming everywhere, Qin Qiong wielded an iron shovel and slashed several arrows in a row, and finally he couldn't dodge, and a wolf's tooth arrow was shooting at his thigh.

The sudden attack caused a great chaos in the Sui army, and dozens of personal soldiers raised their shields to protect Pei Renji, who was so anxious that he shouted: "Quickly retreat!" ”

They have no place to defend on the mountain road, they can only be the live target of the thief army, and they can only withdraw from the mountain road first, although Pei Renji also realized that the enemy ambushed the front army, just to let himself retreat, but the situation is critical, he can't care about the pursuers behind.

"Stand back now, quick!"

The arrows were dense like rain, and the Sui soldiers ran desperately backwards, but more and more soldiers were knocked down by the arrows, and the casualties gradually increased.

Thousands of soldiers led by Luo Zhenyu were ambushed in the pine forests on both sides, and they used the bows and crossbows of the Sui army captured from Xintai County, which were extremely lethal, causing heavy casualties to the Sui army on the mountain road.

Luo Zhenyu smiled a little proudly, he knew very well the food situation of the Sui army, it was impossible for the Sui army to go to Lu County, and if they wanted to get supplies, they could only go to Dong'an County.

Luo Zhenyu saw that the Sui army had gradually rushed out of the killing range of the bow and crossbow, so he ordered: "The whole army attack!" ”

"Woo-" The low sound of the horn echoed in the pine forest, and a shout of killing sounded in the pine forest, and I saw thousands of thieves coming out of the woods on both sides and pursuing the Sui army that had retreated south.

At this moment, the southern drums sounded loudly, and I saw a black army coming from the south official road, which was 20,000 elite troops led by Wang Bo from the south.

Wang Bo was most afraid of the five hundred heavy armored infantry of the Flying Eagle Army, but Luo Zhenyu had confirmed for him that the five hundred heavy armored infantry stayed in Licheng County and did not go south with the army, which gave him great confidence.

At this time, the ranks of the Sui army were stretched to seven miles, the commander Pei Renji was in the front, and the rear army was only more than 3,000 people, making it difficult to organize effective resistance.

Wang Bo commanded the thief army, surrounded the rear army of the Sui army from three sides, and launched a fierce attack, and the Sui army was attacked by the enemy from the beginning to the end, falling into unprecedented panic and chaos

Zhang Xuan led more than 4,000 Sui troops all the way to the north, and he received a notice from Qin Qiong on the way, and learned that Pei Renji had led the main force to Dong'an County, so Zhang Xuan rushed to Dong'an County by trail with the help of a medicine collector.

An army of 4,500 men was marching rapidly along a narrow path, when there was a slight commotion ahead, and some soldiers shouted: "General, come!" ”

Zhang Xuan urged his horse to run over, only to see dozens of Sui soldiers coming out of the bushes on the side hillside, throwing away their armor and weapons, looking extremely embarrassed.

Zhang Xuan frowned, "Who are you?" ”

The soldiers of the Sui army recognized Zhang Xuan and hurriedly ran forward and cried: "General Zhang, we are Pei Shuai's army, we have been ambushed by the enemy, the brothers have fled, we have just fled here. ”

"What?"

Jang Hyun was taken aback and asked sharply, "Where was it attacked?" ”

"It's on the official road ahead, about twenty miles from here."

Zhang Xuan didn't have time to ask more, and immediately shouted: "Speed up and rush to the rescue!" ”

More than 4,000 Sui troops immediately increased their speed and rushed towards the official road ahead.

The path that Zhang Xuan took led to the official road that Pei Renji walked, and they ran for more than ten miles, when they heard the shouts of killing in front of them, the sound of war drums like thunder, and the soldiers' eyes were red, and they drew their war swords, brandished their spears, and ran towards the fierce battle in the distance.

The two armies have been fighting for nearly an hour, and the battle is extremely fierce, the Flying Eagle Army relies on training and skill to support the front and rear attacks of the thief army, but it still suffers heavy casualties, more than half of the dead and wounded and escaped, and only seven or eight thousand soldiers are left fighting fiercely with more than 20,000 thieves.

On a flat boulder, Qin Yong gave up his war horse, and was fighting fiercely with Luo Zhenyu, who was wielding a big knife, Luo Zhenyu rode on the war horse, and the big knife in his hand slashed towards Qin Yong like snowflakes.

He was very strong in martial arts, and extremely cunning, and found Qin Yong, who was injured on his horse and only had a sledgehammer left, he knew that killing Qin Yong would be a great blow to the morale of the Sui army.

Qin Yong was gradually unable to support it, and the danger was everywhere, Luo Zhenyu roared, and slashed at Qin Yong several times in a row.

At this critical moment, there was a great chaos behind Luo Zhenyu, and the horn sounded, only to see a Sui army coming out of the pine forest, led by a general in silver helmet and iron armor, holding a two-wheeled purple yang halberd, it was Zhang Xuan, followed by thousands of murderous Sui soldiers.

Luo Zhenyu was taken aback, the big knife in his hand was loosened, and Qin Yong seized the opportunity, a small hammer flew out of his wrist and hit Luo Zhenyu's face, Luo Zhenyu screamed, turned over and fell off the horse, Qin Yong jumped up, and beat Luo Zhenyu's face to shreds with a hammer, Luo Zhenyu died on the spot.
