"Bang" A pro-soldier pushed open the door in a panic and ran in.

"What's the matter! Panicked! Li Siyuan frowned, put down the paperwork that had just been sent from Hedong in his hand, glared at the pro-soldier, and said in a low voice.

"Dongcheng Pass...... Dongcheng Pass is lost! The soldier was covered in cold sweat and panted.

"What!" Li Siyuan stumbled in his steps, and opened his mouth in surprise involuntarily and rudely, he didn't know it.

"Five thousand! Four days! This...... Could it be that Cunzhang surrendered? Without waiting for the soldiers to answer, Li Siyuan had already shook his head and denied his guess just now. No! It is impossible for Cunzhang to surrender! He is a man of love and righteousness, and his father is very good to him, there is no possibility that he will defect! That...... Could it be that Li Cunhuan's military might is really so powerful? ”

"General Li Cunzhang...... Die...... Dongcheng Pass, but less than 800 people escaped back! The soldier lowered his head, his face was sad, and said in a deep voice.

"What! Eighth brother, he actually ......" Li Siyuan's expression darkened, his body tensed for a moment, and then he relaxed and sat on the wooden chair. The wooden chair made a dull sound, leaned back, and almost fell to the ground.

"General!" The pro-soldiers hurriedly rushed towards Li Siyuan with an arrow step.

Li Siyuan was also taken aback, but it was this fright, but it made people sober up a little, letting Li Siyuan know that he shouldn't be so depressed now, Dongcheng Pass has fallen, and the Yanmen of Daizhou (note, not Yanmen Pass. The last barrier has been lost.

And now, I also need to make good decisions, what should I do? But thinking of this, Li Siyuan's face couldn't help but darken again. Yanmen City is not Yanmen Pass, because there is Yanmen Pass in the north, Dongcheng Pass in the east, Tanglin in the south, and Tianwei Sentence Note Mountain in the west. Therefore, as a wild goose gate that is protected from many dangers, it is very safe. In addition, in the final analysis, it is only a state administration, and the funds are limited, so the history of the state assassins in the past dynasties did not pay much attention to the defense and construction of Yanmen City, and devoted themselves to the development of others.

And now the few soldiers and horses in Daizhou are divided into three parts. There are 1,000 people in Yanmen Pass, 500 in Tanglin, 1,500 in Laoxian, and although Yanmen City has the most soldiers and horses, it is only 12,000. However, it can be seen from the news transmitted by Li Cunzhang some time ago that Li Cunhuan has 50,000 soldiers and horses, and even if there are losses due to the attack on Dongcheng Pass, it will only be seven or eight thousand at most. It still has an advantage in terms of troops. Li Cunhuan didn't need to do anything, he just needed to surround Yanmen and wait for the follow-up soldiers and horses to arrive.

The 12,000-strong army of Daizhou will add a sum to Li Cunhuan's achievements in the near future, and become an inconspicuous existence among many achievements. And now there is only one way to retreat, but the problem is that the distance between Dongcheng Pass and Yanmen Pass is only twenty miles, and from the time I got the news to the present, plus Li Cunhuan sorted out the army. It's about the same time as it takes to receive the message yourself. So that means that Li Cunhuan is twenty miles away from him.

"Drum now!" Li Siyuan stood up without a grim face.

"General! It's better to make all the troops retreat immediately! A quarter of an hour was wasted by beating the drums, and another quarter of an hour was given to give orders. Half an hour passed! I'm afraid that the cavalry of the Lu Long Army has already arrived in the city! The soldier asked in surprise.

"Can't! Li Cunhuan has the most cavalry, how can he retreat under his nose! Moreover, each department retreated separately, and in such a chaotic situation, there would definitely not be more than 5,000 people who could escape! Li Siyuan vetoed it without hesitation.

Seeing that Li Siyuan had made up his mind, the soldiers had no choice, so they gave up their hands to Li Siyuan and quickly withdrew.

............ "Your Highness! Yanmen flying pigeon biography! Feng Baodu rode his horse and galloped to Li Cunhuan's side, handing over a bamboo tube with a white feather sticking to it.

Li Cunhuan ignored it, took the bamboo tube and quickly opened the mud seal at one end of the bamboo tube. Pulling out the straw paper inside, the straw paper is not encrypted, and it is obvious that the information is either extremely important but easy to miss, or the information is very ordinary. But it was obviously the former, Li Cunhuan frowned after reading it.

"Your Highness! What's wrong? Feng Baodu asked in a low voice.

"There was a sound of drums in Li Siyuan's Thorn Mansion, and it must have been Li Siyuan's drumming gathering. This...... Could it be that we are discussing a retreat!? Then Li Siyuan will definitely arrange someone to break off! No! Li Siyuan should be cut off in person! Baodu, you go in person, and be sure to let Yuan Xingqin not rashly launch an attack! Just hold the other person back! After speaking, Li Cunhuan's face couldn't help but change slightly, and his voice couldn't help but become impatient.

"Drive!" Feng Baodu saw that Li Cunhuan's face was anxious, and his voice spit out quickly, obviously something very important. It's too late to salute Li Cunhuan, and he has a war horse's belly. The war horse was like an arrow off the string, galloping out quickly.

"I hope that Yuan Xingqin can stabilize you and don't be calculated by Li Siyuan!" Li Cunhuan frowned, very worried. Yuan Xingqin is more than brave and less witty. However, what Li Cunhuan had to admit was that Yuan Xingqin's loyalty to himself was almost comparable to that of Sha Yuke. This is also Li Cunhuanming's shortcomings knowing Yuan Xingqin, but this time, under Yuan Xingqin's hard begging, he couldn't bear to hurt his loyalty, so he agreed to his request to lead the troops to set off.

"No! Zhu Jilong, you go and inform Ge Gong and let people send troops to support Yuan Xingqin! I'll take the troops myself! Li Cunhuan said anxiously.

"Your Highness! You are a man of gold, how can you be in danger? And there are only 300 Iron Eagle soldiers around you now, so how can I rest assured! Please think twice, Your Highness! When Zhu Jilong heard this, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly grabbed Li Cunhuan's horse reins with one hand, and hurriedly admonished.

"Please think twice, Your Highness!" When the remaining Iron Eagle soldiers heard this, they also turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and persuaded bitterly.

Li Cunhuan hesitated, let out a long sigh, and said, "That's it!" Zhu Jilong, you go quickly! ”

When Zhu Jilong heard this, he was also a little relieved, and in front of Li Cunhuan's face, he explained to several heads and said: "If Your Highness wants to take risks, you must stop it!" Even if it is death, it will not allow His Highness to take risks! You know? ”

"The last general will stop His Highness even if he dies!" Although those heads were replying to Zhu Jilong's words, they were watching Li Cunhuan speak, and who knew what he was talking about, it was clear at a glance. Li Cunhuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: Could it be that his character is so unbearable?

But even so, Zhu Jilong glanced at Li Cunhuan quite worriedly, and then set off. It's all because of Zhu Jilong, but he knows that Li Cunhuan is impulsive, and he can ignore anything. For example, the wind and snow ran wildly, which was born in the wind and snow from Qizhou to Youzhou. Everyone was seriously ill, and almost went to the king of Yama, and the king of Yama Kan Dashan, asked Zhu Jilong how not to worry about Li Cunhuan to do things with his surname.

………… The coast of Daishui is really a wonder of Daizhou, and its terrain is unique, sometimes it is a wide and fertile plain, sometimes it is a narrow flat land, sometimes it is densely jungled, and the terrain is very complex. Yuan Xingqin galloped with three thousand light cavalry for a full ten miles, which took an hour, usually an hour to hurry, an hour at least twenty miles, but there is a reason for such a slow speed. Because he had to pass through a jungle on the way, Yuan Xingqin was not good at letting his horse run wild. It is very easy to break the front hooves of the war horse, and the damage to the horse's hooves is also very serious.

"General! In front is Wuli Mountain, and after here, you can see Yanmen City! The guide whipped the end of the road and spoke.

"Hmmm! Let the brothers speed up their way! We're already slowing down, we can't let that guy Li Siyuan run away! Yuan Xingqin shouted.

"What the general said is very true!" The lieutenant general beside Yuan Xingqin also chimed in. The three thousand cavalry took a short rest and set off quickly. Twelve thousand horses' hooves trampled the earth fiercely, making a thunderous sound of horses' hooves.

Suddenly, just as the army was about to cross the Wuli Mountain, a war drum sounded. Yuan Xingqin reined in his war horse in disbelief, only to see countless crossbowmen suddenly gushing out of the bushes on the hillside.

Everyone yelled: "Release!" ”

I don't know how many arrows there are, but it feels like a rain of arrows is falling from the sky.

"Retreat!" Yuan Xingqin couldn't help but be shocked, hurriedly picked up a shield to protect his head, and shouted. As he spoke, he did not forget to hold the reins, turned the horse's head, and hurriedly retreated, a few points faster than when he came.

Out of Wuli Mountain, Yuan Xingqin breathed a sigh of relief. Counting the number of people, it was found that there were about a hundred cavalry missing. Before he could confront the enemy, he broke more than 100 horses, which made Yuan Xingqin angry.

Yuan Xingqin roared angrily: "Come and dismount two thousand people, pick up the shield, and follow me!" Lao Tzu hacked these rats alive! ”

The adjutant general hurriedly grabbed Yuan Xingqin's arm and said, "General, be careful!" We waited for the cavalry, went up the mountain, and ten percent of the combat strength, so we went to three percent, in case it was the enemy's plan to lure the enemy. That's a big loss! ”

When Yuan Xingqin heard this, he also hesitated. But after a moment of silence, Yuan Xingqin Huoran shook his head firmly and said, "Impossible!" Li Siyuan couldn't have sent too many men! And although the rain of arrows just now was heavy, I estimate that it was only one or two thousand. Besides, if you get rid of Li Siyuan's tens of thousands of troops, where will the general have the face to see His Highness? Ben Jiang patted his chest and said that he would take Li Siyuan's army of at least 10,000 people, and His Royal Highness let Ben come. ”

When the deputy general heard this, he felt that what Yuan Xingqin said was not wrong, and the most important thing was that. Yuan Xingqin's later words, if he was stopped here by these thousands of crossbowmen, I am afraid that he would not have the face to see Li Cunhuan. He no longer hindered Yuan Xingqin.

However, what made people angry was that after Yuan Xingqin worked hard to lie up the mountain, he found that there were only hundreds of scarecrows wearing Hedong army armor. But this came and went, and nearly half an hour of travel had been wasted. The infantry marched five miles.
