Thousands of cautions, but they were still calculated by Li Guanqi, and they lost 4,000 people at once, and the morale of the Jiannan Army suffered a heavy blow again, and even the generals showed timid expressions.

Seeing this, Li Moran suddenly perked up and said loudly: "Soldiers, don't be discouraged!" In this battle, although we lost a lot of soldiers, Li Guanqi also exposed his true intentions, he did not have any ambush troops, he still continued to use his so-called guerrilla tactics, trying to take advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, step by step to eat away at us.

Now that he is under siege from us, he is just around the corner! He expected that our army would not dare to pursue the new defeat, and at this time he must not be strictly prepared, and this time I will also come to attack in accordance with the art of war! Pass me on the order! The whole army immediately pursued with all its might! ”

After Li Guanqi's continuous tactics, Li Moran and the 50,000 Chinese army led by him have gradually distanced themselves from other counterforces, as long as they are led into Zhu Yi's ambush circle, the possibility of capturing Li Moran in a battle is quite high, even if Li Moran cannot be captured, it will not be a problem to take advantage of the victory to defeat the main force of the Jiannan Army.

The victory is in his hands, but Li Guanqi is not happy in his heart, since he stepped on the mountain road in front of him, he has always had an ominous premonition, and he always feels that something is going to happen.

The temperature is getting colder and colder, the sky is iron-gray, and the cold north wind blows the yellow dragon flag on a white background fiercely. Li Guanqi was at the front of the group, and the muddy water on the ground had begun to form ice ballast, causing his army, which consisted entirely of cavalry, to stagger as well. He frowned and stared ahead, but couldn't see anything.

A terrible eagle's cry sounded in the sky, Li Guanqi's eyelids jumped involuntarily, and a dangerous smell came from the cold wind, he reined in his war horse and ordered in a deep voice: "Send scouts." Go ten miles to see if it's safe along the way, and look for a place where you can be stationed, and keep the whole army in place! ”

After about a cup of tea, the scout in front of him galloped back, and before he could reach him. Then he shouted: "The enemy has been found ahead!" ”

"How many are there?" Li Guanqi asked anxiously.

"About 20,000!" The scout gasped.

"Map!" Li Guanqi shouted in a deep voice, and immediately a sergeant took off the map made of cowhide from his back and walked in front of Li Guanqi, and the two of them pulled one side and unfolded the map.

Looking at the map, Li Guanqi's expression became more and more serious. On the map, there are mountain peaks on the left, a river on the right, and a big road stretches forward, and there is no other road to go for ten miles before and after!

"Our army is surrounded?!" Xie Chen glanced at it a few times. I couldn't help but ask a surprised question.

Li Guanqi glared at him, swiped his fingers on the map a few more times, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "The whole army is rushing to the left and building a defense line at the foot of the mountain!" "There are enemy brigades in front and behind, and it is not a good choice to break through, he can only seize the advantageous terrain first, and then establish a defensive line before doing what he thinks.

The army had barely moved long before a scout came back to report. "Not far ahead, I found an abandoned town!"

"There is a city?" Li Guanqi was immediately overjoyed. Hurriedly brought a few generals to rush forward, only to find that at the foot of the mountain there was indeed a small city built on the mountain, I think it was used by the garrison in the past, but it has long been abandoned, and the city wall is not made of stone and brick, but adobe. It's already in tatters!

"Your Majesty! This city...... I'm afraid it's hard to play a defensive role! Wei Bijiang smacked his lips and said.

Li Guanqi took a breath and said, "This is already an unexpected joy, and the most worrying thing about Yishan is the water source problem. Since the city is a city, I think there is a well in it! ”

After a short time, the sergeants who went into the city to inquire reported that four wells had been found in the city, and that there was still water in them, and that they had tried it with horses, and that the water was non-poisonous and drinkable. Li Guanqi then ordered the whole army to enter the city immediately.

After entering the city, Li Guanqi ordered Xie Chen to take people to cut down trees in the woods on the side of the mountain, and the whole army immediately strengthened the city defense!

It was getting dark, and Li Guanqi was inspecting the reinforcement of the city defense in various parts of the city, when suddenly a scout shouted on the city wall, "Discover the enemy!" ”

Li Guanqi immediately led people to the earthen city, and found that the torches in the distance were as dense as the Milky Way, and the pursuers led by Li Moran had already discovered this earthen city, and were joining forces with the army besieging in front of them, ready to start besieging this earthen city.

Li Guanqi looked around, and found that some of the sergeants' faces even began to show fear, this is something that has never happened since he commanded the army, but this is also a grievance sergeant, before he led everyone to win a hundred battles, but in front of him is a dead end, facing several times the enemy army, how difficult is it to break through?

Li Guanqi realized that if he could not boost his morale, the enemy would only need to attack with a single attack, and this small earthen city that was not in danger at all would be lost, and more than 10,000 people here would either be killed or captured.

"Xie Chen!" Li Guanqi shouted in a deep voice.

"The minister is here!" Xie Chen immediately agreed loudly.

"Pick up a thousand men!" Li Guanqi's eyes erupted and he said, "Open the city gate!" Follow me to take the head of the leading enemy general! ”

"Yes!" Xie Chen agreed loudly and turned around to gather the people. He Ziming and Nameless glanced at each other helplessly, they were now used to Li Guanqi going to the battlefield in person, and they all knew that when Li Guanqi issued a military order, others couldn't change his mind at all, all the two of them could do was to try to ensure Li Guanqi's safety.

It was already completely dark, and Tucheng was squatting there quietly like a monster that seemed to devour people, because Li Guanqi issued a military order to control the lights, and the Jiannan Army did not know the situation in the city, so they did not choose to attack the city immediately, and wanted to wait until after dawn before launching an attack, anyway, Li Guanqi was already surrounded by groups, so why rush at this time?

The Xiao cavalry guard itself is the equipment of black clothes and black armor, and in the middle of the night, the night has become the best cover, so when the Jiannan army found the thousand-man team led by Li Guanqi himself, the distance between the two sides was less than a stone's throw away.

"Kill!" The sword in Li Guanqi's hand swung forward and shouted loudly.

"Kill!" The thousand horsemen who followed shouted in unison, forming a tsunami-like sound of a landslide. The fighting spirit of the forward of the Southern Army of the Sword Southern Army, who did not understand the situation at all in the dark, had collapsed the moment the momentum of the two sides came into contact, and hundreds of people turned around and fled, these days, they had become accustomed to being defeated by the young God of War Emperor.
