"Your Majesty! What do we do next? Xie Chen's eyes also began to be confused!

Li Guanqi looked at the dense Shannan army under the city, sighed and said: "Zhu Yi and the main force of our army are looking for a fighter to annihilate Chen Guangxi, and he will not notice the news that we are surrounded in a short time. If I continue to defend it, the odds are not great, and even if I can hold it, I am reluctant to spend so much. As for abandoning the city and fleeing, the loss will be even greater, and what I will directly lose is the hearts of the people. Therefore, for the sake of today, the only way to make the enemy take the initiative to retreat is to find a way! ”

Li Guanqi was worried about the loss, in fact, the Shannan Army, as the besieging party, was even more uncomfortable. The siege of the city at any cost for a day in a row has caused the Shannan army to suffer extremely serious losses, Chen Yinjie is now at a loss to think of, and he himself knows in his heart that after Li Guanqi pacified Jiannan, his troops are actually not much less than their Chen family, and their combat power is stronger. If the situation continues like now, it won't be long before Shannan Road has to return to the territory of Daqian. It's just that now it's ready to be fired, so I have to take one step at a time. But there is really no need for the Yongchuan City in front of him to continue to fight like this.

Early the next morning, as soon as Chen Yinjie got up, a scout came to report: "There are many more figures and flags on the head of Yongchuan City than the day before yesterday, it seems that reinforcements have come to the city!" ”

"!" Chen Yinjie scolded, "We have surrounded Yongchuan City, even if they have reinforcements, it is impossible to enter the city!" ”

The scout scratched his head and said, "If the young master doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself!" ”

Chen Yinjie personally came to the outside of the camp tent. Sure enough, I saw that there were many more flags at the head of the city, flying in the wind, and the figures under the flags. It's also significantly more than yesterday.

"Fake, right?" Chen Yinjie hesitated and said, "He's suspicious, right?" ”

"Young Master!" An adjutant general said, "Don't be careless! The man in the city is like a god with soldiers, and he shouldn't use such a low-end strategy as the Sobu Suspicious Array! ”

"Could it be that reinforcements really came to his city?" Chen Yinjie couldn't believe it. After a while, he came to his senses and said, "Tell the whole army to be on guard, they are now outnumbered, and they may open the city gates to attack us!" ”

Chen Yinjie thought that his approach was safe. But he happened to fall for Li Guanqi's strategy, in fact, the flags and figures that suddenly appeared in the city were Li Guanqi's suspicious array. Li Guanqi found many civilians to pretend to be Xiao cavalry guards to wave flags and shout on the city to confuse the enemy army. The purpose is to let Chen Yinjie put all the centers of defense in front.

People are sometimes driven by habitual thinking. Many common-sense issues are overlooked, such as looking ahead and forgetting to look backwards. Therefore, when night fell again, all the Shannan troops were on guard in the city. Rushed into the battalion from the rear by a group of troops. After a scuffle in the dark night, when the Shannan army realized that the attack was coming from behind, and began to turn around, the horsemen in the city also opened the city gate in time and rushed into the Shannan military camp for a while. When the Shannan army gradually calmed down, the army that attacked them withdrew safely, leaving behind the corpses of the Shannan army soldiers in the camp that was engulfed in flames.

Early the next morning. Counting the number of soldiers, Chen Yinjie's eyes widened again. Last night he lost nearly a thousand more soldiers. If he continues to toss at this rate, it is estimated that in a few days, he will have to change the commander of the light pole.

"Retreat!" After careful consideration, Chen Yinjie gave the order to withdraw the troops.

In fact, it was not Li Guanqi's reinforcements who attacked behind the Shannan Army the night before, but the Xiao cavalry guards that Li Guanqi secretly put down at night, and it took most of the night to barely put down almost 500 people, but these 500 people were enough to make the Shannan Army camp chaotic, so that he could take the opportunity to lead his troops to counterattack.

In the battle of Yongchuan City, the Shannan army lost nearly 20,000 people, including their most elite cavalry and personal guard regiments, and even Chen Guangxi's son Chen Yinti was killed in this battle. Therefore, after this battle, Chen Guangxi's vitality was seriously injured, so he had to change to passive defense. But Li Guanqi attacked everywhere, encroaching on the Chen family's city and vitality little by little.

Chen Guangxi saw that the general trend was about to go, so he began to shrink into Xiangyang City.

"Report!" A scout hurried in.

"What's so flustered?" Chen Guangxi put down his wine glass, frowned and said, "Could it be that Li Guanqi has attacked?" ”

The scout said, "Back to my lord! It is the cadres who are coming, and it is less than half a day's journey from Xiangyang! ”

"What? So fast? Chen Guangxi hurriedly stood up, and even because he accidentally knocked something on the table, he didn't bother to care, and asked himself, "Who is leading the troops?" ”

The scout bowed his head and said, "They are playing the Yellow Dragon Banner on a white background......"

"He's here in person?" Chen Guangxi couldn't help but feel a little chill down his spine, since the outbreak of the war, Li Guanqi's military talent not only made his eyes shine, but also made him shudder!

Seeing that the scout was still kneeling on the ground, Chen Guangxi roared angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and give the order, and get ready to attack! ”

…………………………………………………………………………

"What do you think we should do now?" Chen Guangxi asked the generals in the tent.

"No matter how scheming Li Guanqi is, as long as we don't go out of Xiangyang City, with more than 10,000 troops from him, there is nothing to fear, on the contrary, if our army goes out of the city to meet the attack, Li Guanqi will definitely come to attack Xiangyang City, this tactic he is best at. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come with only cavalry this time. Guo Meng, the guard of Xiangyang City, said with a sneer.

"I also agree with General Guo's opinion, no matter what strategy Li Guanqi uses, as long as we respond to all changes with the same and cannot defend it, Li Guanqi is a guest army, and after the grain and grass are used up, he will inevitably retreat!" Guo Meng's lieutenant Gan Tianming also spoke.

Chen Guangxi looked at the others on the left and right, and saw that no one stood up to object, so he said, "Okay! According to General Guo's words, go down and prepare to go! ”

Although he decided to fight a battle to defend the city, Chen Guangxi's heart was still uneasy: as Guo Meng said, with more than 10,000 cavalry, it was almost impossible to break through Xiangyang City, which was guarded by 100,000 people, without siege equipment. But with such an obvious truth, there is no reason why Li Guanqi should not understand it? So why did he have to come with cavalry to attack the city? Could it be that he naively thought that he would open the city to fight him in the field? (To be continued......)
