Liu Xiu reacted immediately, ordering the few sailors to approach Linxiang City and prevent Sun Jian from crossing Liushui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoLinxiang City is located in Liushui into Xiangkou, the north of the city is Liushui, the west of the city is Xiangshui, only the southeast is flat, Liu Xiu's camp is stationed here. If Sun Jian is allowed to reach the north bank of Liushui, and then cross Liushui to chase after him when he finds out, it will be difficult to cross the main force across Liushui in a hurry, and Sun Jian may break through with his superiority in strength.

Sun Jian was overjoyed when he saw Liu Xiu's reaction, pretended not to see it, and continued to drive for a few days. Ten days later, everything was ready, and he was finally ready to break through. He ordered all the soldiers to bring only three days' dry rations except for their own weapons, and all other baggage was thrown away, including the baggage carts that the soldiers had intended to use to resist the cavalry impact, and everyone traveled lightly, slept during the day, and began to go out of the city after dark, striving to jump out of the encirclement within one night, at least to distance themselves from Liu Xiu's main force, so that Liu Xiu could not escape even if he found them.

Hearing that they were going to break through, the soldiers of the Yuan army, who were surrounded and restless, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went to prepare. When everyone left, Sun Jian said to Huan Jie: "I'm tired of you this time." I'm a little ashamed to have brought so much trouble to Linxiang City. If I am lucky enough to return to Linxiang, I will definitely compensate you in the future to show my gratitude. ”

Huan Jie smiled helplessly, he basically had no hope that Sun Jian could return to Linxiang. Yuan Shu is not Liu Xiu's opponent, this is already a clear thing. The Yuan family has been circling in the Kanto region for several years, but they have not been able to break through Luoyang and master Gyeonggi, and the opportunity for victory has slipped away from them.

"General, be careful." Huan Jie bowed deeply to Sun Jian.

"So are you." Sun Jian patted Huan Jie's shoulder and sighed.

At night, the north gate of Linxiang City suddenly burst into flames, shining as bright as day, and then the city gate was opened, and countless soldiers rushed out. They carried torches and tied wooden rafts. Push the raft into the water. Pieces of wood were erected on underwater wooden stakes, stabilized steadily, and quickly built a pontoon bridge. At the opening of the city gate, countless soldiers were arrayed. Just wait for the pontoon bridge to be completed, rush out of the city gate, cross the water, and sail away.

At this moment, the north bank of Liushui suddenly shook the sky, and a team of elite horsemen rushed from afar, and the rumbling horses' hooves were like thunder and thunder in the sky, getting closer and closer. Quickly approached a place five hundred steps away from Liushui. Armed with torches, spears and crossbows, they formed a fiery dragon on the opposite bank, illuminating the north shore of Liushui. The expression on the knight's face could not be seen from a distance, and the sound of the war horse could not be heard, but the strict formation made people feel the silent murderous aura.

The soldiers who were building the pontoon bridge did not stop, they picked up their speed and pushed the rafts into the water. The pontoon bridge stretched forward at an astonishing speed.

The pontoon bridge was completed, and two thousand soldiers rushed out of the city gate and ran across the pontoon bridge. They set up a formation on the shore, holding shields in their left hands and spears in their right hands, and set up a spear array. Behind them, the crossbowmen spread their crossbows and prepared them to shoot.

At the city gate, the firelight swayed, and almost half of Linxiang City was illuminated.

The cavalry began to beat their drums and prepared to charge, and torches were lit in Liu Xiu's camp to the southeast. Upstream of the river, the warship that had been hidden in the darkness also revealed its hideous face. As the war drums sounded, more torches lit up on the north bank, and more and more cavalry rushed over, and they lined up in the distance, slowly pressing the nerves of Yuan's army.

Just when the battle in the north of the city was about to break out. The south gate of Linxiang City quietly opened, Huang Gai led a team of fierce soldiers to rush out of the city gate, they did not light torches, they quickly crossed the moat by the moonlight, and began to run towards Liu Xiu's camp.

Sun Jian rode on his horse, waved goodbye to the Huan steps at the head of the city, and then plunged into the darkness with the guard battalion.

Compared with the bustle in the north of the city, these people in the south of the city were silent and fast, they were like beasts in the night, smelling the smell of blood and going straight to Liu Xiu's camp, until they rushed to the front of the camp, the soldiers on the watchtower found them and immediately rang the gong to call the police.

"Dangdang ......" The rapid alarm suddenly sounded and quickly spread throughout the camp. One torch after another sounded in the camp, and the soldiers on guard outside the camp quickly launched an attack on Sun Jian.

Their reaction was not unpleasant, but in the face of the more than 13,000 troops led by Sun Jian, the vigilance of only a few hundred people was not worth mentioning, and they were quickly overwhelmed by Yuan's army.

"Kill!" Sun Jian raised his sword high and roared.

In the dark night, Liu Xiu couldn't figure out whether Sun Jian was a feint attack or a forcible attack, he closed the camp and couldn't come out, but ordered the soldiers to rely on the camp to defend themselves. Sun Jian knew that Liu Xiu now had a large part of his troops on the north bank of Liushui to prevent him from retreating from the north bank of Liushui. This is exactly what Huan Jie's suggestion is, that is, to attract Liu Xiu's attention to the north gate, and then transfer the main force to the north of Liushui, so that he can take advantage of the dark night to sneak attack Liu Xiu's camp.

The sneak attack on the camp was just a false shot, Sun Jian was not confident enough that he could break through Liu Xiu's camp with his soldiers who did not carry any large equipment, what he had to do was to make Liu Xiu feel nervous, he couldn't figure out his details, so he could only trap the camp, and then he could take advantage of the situation and escape.

All available factors have been utilized, and everything has gone smoothly, as of yesterday, according to reports from scouts for several days, at least 20,000 main forces of Liu's army have crossed Liushui in the past few days, including 10,000 cavalry. In other words, there are only 10,000 people left in Liu Xiu's camp at most, and they are mainly foot soldiers.

Sun Jian believed that Liu Xiu would not dare to go out of the camp, if he dared to go out of the camp, Sun Jian would dare to fight with Liu Xiu in one breath, even if he did not get out of the siege, he would severely damage or even kill Liu Xiu. His main forces were all north of Liushui, and he couldn't rush over to support him in a hurry.

Everything was as Sun Jian expected, Liu Xiu did not leave the camp. Sun Jian made a feint for a short time, ordered a retreat, and led the army to disappear into the dark night in the southeast. He personally led the personal guards after the camp was broken. Looking at the frightened Liu Xiu's camp, Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief and was a little disdainful at the same time, it turned out that Liu Xiu was not invincible, he had no last resort, didn't Huanjie's plan still catch him off guard?

It's just a pity that Huan Jie's talent.

Huan Jie said to Sun Jian that Liu Xiu's use of troops seems to be risky, but in fact he is very stable, and when possible, he likes to attack his opponent with superior forces, in order to exchange the minimum price for the greatest benefit. We have more than 10,000 men, and he will attack with at least 15,000 or even 20,000 troops, plus the powerful attack power of the cavalry, once this battle starts, he can win in the shortest possible time.

At the north gate, he made the appearance of forcibly crossing Liushui and escaping, which was to transfer Liu Xiu's main force to the north bank of Liushui, so that the strength of the large battalion in the southeast direction was very limited, and Liu Xiu might not be willing to fight a head-on battle. In addition, it is night, Liu Xiu can't figure out your true movements, he will definitely wait until daytime to act, and use the speed of cavalry to chase you, which is much safer than rashly fighting you at night.

This night is the time for you to flee for your life. If it goes well, you can reach the mountains with a one-night rapid march, and even if there is a difference, you can also open up the distance, so that Liu Xiu can't catch up with you.

Now, everything was as Huan Jie expected, Liu Xiu was trapped in the camp and did not dare to come out to pursue at all. Sun Jian seized the opportunity and began to order a rapid march.

Sergeant Yuan, who had rested for a whole day, was like a big fish that had escaped from the hook, running wildly and throwing himself into the darkness as fast as he could. This is their only chance, if they want to go back alive, they must be at least sixty to eighty miles tonight, and it is best to be able to run to Dawei Mountain in one go, as long as they enter the mountain, even if the cavalry catches up with them, they can only watch them and sigh.

Huan Jie stood on the city wall, looked at the brightly lit Liu Xiu camp, and then looked at Sun Jian, who had disappeared into the darkness, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sun Jian is gone, the crisis in Linxiang is solved, there will be no more tragedy of changing children and eating, and there will be no more possibility of breaking bones and cooking. If you want to say that he is unlucky, he should be the only one, at most his Huan family.

This is also something that cannot be helped, and there is always a certain price to be paid for sticking to loyalty.

Liu Xiu and Mrs. Lu sat opposite each other, tapping on the chessboard, he held a chess piece in both hands, rubbed it lightly in the center of his eyebrows, and complained: "National Teacher, you have been so murderous recently, this is not conducive to cultivation. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled: "Spring flowers and autumn fruits, summer and winter killing, killing is the same as life, it is the natural principle of heaven, don't do it, don't do it." ”

"Who said this crookedly?" Liu Xiuqu pointed his finger, flicked the chess piece in his hand into the chess box, and said angrily: "Those who cultivate the Tao should have the virtue of a good life, and the Taoist should be humble and beautiful, you should let me do a little." Every time you kill you so badly, who would dare to fight you? ”

"If you don't know how to die, how can you live?" Mrs. Lu smiled, put her hands on her knees, and looked at the chessboard for a moment: "General, you are a little absent-minded today, you lost three more than yesterday, and you broke the record again." ”

Liu Xiu rubbed his hands: "Yes, in order to catch this Jiangdong tiger, I have been a little troubled recently. Please tell me a divination, but you say no. I had to figure it out on my own. He smiled, glanced at the military planners who were nervously deducing in the back tent, and smiled proudly: "However, I have a helper now, and I am not fighting alone." ”

Guo Jia hurriedly walked in from outside, and said a few words in Liu Xiu's ear, Liu Xiu nodded: "It's so good, we don't have to wait here, Linxiang City is already ours anyway, you can take it whenever you want." Inform the camps that they should get up tomorrow and set off at the end of the day. ”

"Whoa!" Guo Jia saluted, turned around and went out.

"There's something to do tomorrow, so I won't be abused by you." Liu Xiu stood up and stretched: "I'm going up the mountain to fight tigers, you're not interested?" ”

"The general is going to fight on the battlefield, and as a national teacher, I naturally want to accompany him." Mrs. Lu stood up and clapped her hands: "However, I still have to do what I can now to help the general eliminate fatigue, let the general sleep well, and have the energy to fight the tiger tomorrow." ”

Liu Xiu laughed: "It's so good, then there will be Lao Guoshi." "Rub,
