Liu Ziheng, who hurriedly returned to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, his face was pale, his body trembled, and his eyes were empty.

Liu Ziheng never imagined that the Iron Blood Army would move so quickly, and what was even more incredible was that a few thousand Iron Blood Army sergeants were able to defend the South Gate and Yongdao for more than half an hour, resisting countless attacks, and you must know that the number of soldiers of the Xiangyang Ya Army who launched the attack reached more than 20,000 people.

When the drums outside Xiangyang City appeared, Liu Ziheng already felt that a catastrophe was coming, and when the soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army were charging towards the south gate, he quickly left the south gate and returned to the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy under the support of his own soldiers.

The next thing is how to quickly escape from Xiangyang City, hoping that the Tooth Army can defeat the attack of the Iron Army, it is impossible, and Liu Ziheng can conclude that the Tooth Army will not resist for more than half an hour, and under the impact of the powerful Iron Army, it will soon collapse.

Liu Ziheng was unwilling, after becoming the envoy of Shannan Dongdao, he tried every means to control the Xiangyang Tooth Army, and enhanced the strength of the Tooth Army by integrating the Tooth Outside Army and the Outer Town Army, but unfortunately after such a long period of hard work, all of them came to naught overnight, if he completely lost the Tooth Army and lost his strength, he Liu Ziheng was nothing, even if he fled from Xiangyang, there was nowhere to hide, since Li Rupei was able to suddenly attack Xiangyang, he would definitely want to capture him Liu Ziheng alive.

The festival has caused chaos in the yamen.

The officials who came and went were like headless flies, and some officials didn't know what was going on at all, and they had to know the relevant deployments made by Liu Ziheng, that is, some generals of the Tooth Army knew that the real large-scale deployment had not been carried out at all.

The large-scale fighting at the South Gate attracted the attention of most of the people in Xiangyang City, but the people who really dared to go to the South Gate to watch were pitiful. The vast majority of the people are closed, so the entire Xiangyang City is still immersed in darkness.

Only a quarter of an hour later, Liu Ziheng had to think about escaping.

It is best to escape from the north gate, but unfortunately it is the middle of the night, the ships outside the north gate cannot sail, the ships of the Yangtze River have never had the habit of sailing at night, and there is no way to escape from the south gate, Liu Ziheng's eyes can only notice the east gate and the west gate.

In any case, the first thing to do is to escape from Xiangyang City. After saving his life, he went to the capital to find Tian Lingzi to cry, maybe he could have a slightly better ending, if he stayed in Xiangyang City, he would definitely be a dead end.

After cleaning up briefly, Liu Ziheng decided to escape, he didn't even think of escaping with his family, the target would be too big, and he was afraid that it would attract the attention of others.

When he left the yamen from the backyard. Liu Ziheng looked at this magnificent mansion with nostalgia, he had not been the owner of this mansion for a long time.

The officials in the yamen are still running around, and many people inquire about what happened, but no one knows that Liu Ziheng has fled from the yamen. A few officials wanted to enter the backyard and ask to see Liu Ziheng, but they were stopped by the guards' personal soldiers, and they couldn't see the Jiedu envoy at all.

When the south gate was stormed. Gao Chibang has already arranged for the iron-blooded soldiers of the three roads to quickly occupy the east, west and north gates to prevent Liu Ziheng from escaping. However, he didn't know if Liu Ziheng had fled in advance.

Huang Biao personally led the special forces soldiers and rushed in the direction of the Jiedu envoy Yamen.

The special forces officers and soldiers had long been familiar with the terrain in Xiangyang City, and they rushed to the Jiedu Envoy Yamen as quickly as possible.

When the special forces rushed into the backyard, Liu Ziheng had already disappeared.

Huang Biao's face changed, he knew very well that Liu Ziheng might have fled from Xiangyang City, the strength of the iron-blooded army was limited, and he didn't know what the situation was like when he attacked the south gate, so it was impossible for the army to surround Xiangyang City, and the defenses outside the city were naturally worse, once Liu Ziheng escaped from Xiangyang City, it would take a lot of effort to pursue him.

The special forces did not linger in the city, passed through the south gate, which was still fighting sporadically, and quickly came to the outside of the city.

Li Rupei was already waiting outside the south gate.

After hearing the report, Li Rupei quickly made a judgment.

"Liu Ziheng is afraid that he has left Xiangyang City, is fleeing in the direction of the capital, Xiangyang Tooth Army has been exterminated, Liu Ziheng has no support, there is no other place to go, at this time Liu Ziheng can not go to the Yellow Nest, he can't put down that shelf, the south gate has been fighting, the north gate is close to the Yangtze River, Liu Ziheng can only leave from the east gate and the west gate, outside the east gate is a large woodland, it is not convenient to walk at night, there is a large open space outside the west gate, a certain estimate, Liu Ziheng must have left Xiangyang City from the West Gate, marching at night, the speed must be limited, Liu Ziheng's speed cannot be fast, and it is impossible to bring too many personal soldiers with him, and their hearts are full of fear. ”

"Huang Biao, you lead the special forces, search from the direction of the north gate, search in the direction of the capital, don't let go of any details, be sure to capture Liu Ziheng alive, if Liu Ziheng escapes, this battle cannot be regarded as a complete victory."

Huang Biao would not waste time, and quickly headed towards the north gate with five hundred special forces soldiers.

The ability of special forces is not ordinary, such as this kind of pursuit operation, is a project they often train on weekdays, as long as Liu Ziheng leaves clues, they can find it, can make accurate judgments in the shortest possible time, track the escapees, and capture the escapees as soon as possible.

On the official road at the north gate, the special forces soon found the horseshoe prints, which were a little dense and headed in one direction.

Huang Biao and the others quickly launched a pursuit.

The special forces chased to a fork in the road and found that the horseshoe prints were going in two directions, and a special soldier reported to Huang Biao that there were two roads, one was an official road and the other was a small road, and the path was closer, and it could also go in the direction of the capital.

Huang Biao was a little confused, he didn't know what direction Liu Ziheng was going, and a special soldier made a suggestion, thinking that Liu Ziheng was more likely to take the path, after all, Liu Ziheng was familiar with the terrain here, and also considering that the Iron Blood Army was likely to pursue it, Liu Ziheng must have thought that the Iron Blood Army was not familiar with the path and would follow the official road to pursue.

Huang Biao nodded, and immediately gave an order, he led four hundred special forces to pursue the path, and the other hundred special forces followed the official road to pursue, no matter what happened, even if it was to follow to Henan Mansion, Liu Ziheng would be captured alive.

Liu Ziheng has more than 30 people around him, these people are his personal soldiers, and everyone is the best in the tooth army.

Leaving Xiangyang City in a hurry, Liu Ziheng didn't have time to make too many preparations, his departure from Xiangyang City was a top-secret operation, and he couldn't let the officials of the Yamen know about it, otherwise after the news got out, the iron-blooded army would also be able to know that if people followed the official road to pursue, more than 30 people under his command would not be able to resist at all.

After all, it is a soldier, and he is also familiar with the surrounding paths, and everyone's actions are still very fast, after leaving Xiangyang City from the north gate, he rushed in the direction of the capital, and after coming to the fork in the road, Liu Ziheng thought about it a little, and ordered ten personal soldiers to continue to go in the direction of the capital along the official road, and the rest of the personal soldiers followed him along the path, and the two people met in a village at the beginning of sixty miles away from Xiangyang City, and I believe that by that time, everyone was out of danger.

Liu Ziheng didn't dare to slow down, but unfortunately the road surface was not very good, and the war horse under his crotch couldn't run quickly.

After walking for a while, Liu Ziheng, who was highly nervous, felt a little tired, until this time, he thought that he was dreaming, everything happened so fast that people couldn't believe it at all, and they didn't want to believe it.

Liu Ziheng didn't know where Li Rupei got the courage to lead the iron-blooded army to attack Xiangyang, when the iron-blooded army occupied Quanzhou, it caused a lot of shocks in the imperial court, and this direct attack on Xiangyang was not to make a fuss.

Liu Ziheng, who stopped slowly, looked at the soldiers who followed him, and thought of the family members who were abandoned in the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, the sorrow in his heart instantly erupted, and two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks, he finally knew what regret was, at the beginning, according to Tian Lingzi's request, he chased and killed Li Tong, the king of Wei, but he had thought that today's ending was also a hasty escape, and he couldn't even take care of his family, and the retribution came so quickly, which made Liu Ziheng extremely painful.

The surrounding soldiers were very interested, and quietly dispersed, it was the first time they saw Liu Ziheng crying, presumably because of the extreme depression in their hearts.

One of his own soldiers dismounted and fell to the ground, his ears pressed to the ground.

Soon the soldier's face changed, and he walked quickly in front of Liu Ziheng, reporting that he heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the other party was already very close to here.

Liu Ziheng wiped the tears off his face, his face became hideous, at this time, he only had fear of Li Rupei and the Iron Army, how could the Iron Blood Army know that he fled from the north gate, how did he know that he was going from the path to the direction of the capital, if it was according to this expectation, it would be impossible for him to escape at all, it was better to stay in Xiangyang City and fight face to face with the Iron Army, so it was much better to die in battle than to escape.

When the surrounding soldiers urged Liu Ziheng to leave immediately, Liu Ziheng shook his head.

"Brothers, you have been following a certain side for many years, some of them have even followed a certain side since the beginning of the Shence Army, today a certain does not want to escape, the courage of the Iron Blood Army, a certain is a real understanding, Li Rupei has such an army, nothing can be done, even if you want to ascend the throne, it is not a difficult thing, so that a certain can escape to somewhere, yesterday a certain only got a report, the Iron Blood Army attacked Xiangyang, it is not yet dawn, Xiangyang City has been captured, you brothers and a certain left Xiangyang City from the north gate, The iron-blooded army was able to chase down here directly, forget it, I don't want to escape, and I am also a festival envoy appointed by the imperial court, just see how Li Rupei will treat him, and see if he takes the imperial court in his eyes......"
