Xue Cheng was no longer able to resist Chu Dingde's army, and was about to abandon the city and run to Tiancheng. And Anyang, the Dingyang rebel army is marching with all its might, eager to be able to arrive before Xue Cheng is defeated. If Xue Cheng perishes, then the entire righteous army will be worthy of public opinion.

Although it was a small road, the huge number of people and the large amount of grain and grass still slowed down the itinerary of the Anyang and Dingyang armies.

A crowd rode on their horses, worried. Although the trail seems to be coming to an end, there is still a long way to go, and it is unknown whether it will be able to reach it, and it is not clear what lies ahead.

Along the way, Huang Xiu and Feng Jin were fighting with each other, but they were having fun on the way to the march. Zhuge Liang shook the pu fan unchanged, and as for the others, they didn't make any sound, and they hurried by themselves, which showed that they were in a bad mood.

It will only take three days at most to get out of the path, and the army will reach Xuecheng. Everyone was unprecedentedly dignified, Xue Cheng's safety was too important, and he couldn't help but worry, and then accelerated the speed of the march.

It was a full march, but it was stopped by Guo Jia, who asked to slow down the march. The reason is very simple, maybe Xue Cheng has been broken at this moment. If Xue Cheng has been breached, the army will go to Xue Cheng, the people will be sleepy and the horses will be tired, and Chu Dingde will wait for their tired army in Xue City, and the consequences will be equally unimaginable.

The spies who went to investigate the disappearance have not returned, everything is unknown, and everyone is in a dilemma. Speeding up may save Xue Cheng from danger, or it may lead to himself falling into the net, so he has to move forward slowly, waiting for the spies who went to Xue Cheng to bring back the news.

The spies who went to Xue Cheng did not come back, but came with even more devastating news. Anyang, the soldiers defending the city in Dingyang, quickly came to report, Anyang County, Dingyang County, was occupied by an unknown force, these people disguised themselves as ordinary people, mixed into the city, and took Anyang County and Dingyang County in one fell swoop.

Everyone was completely stunned, an unknown force, it was not Chu Dingde's backhand, and now even the base camps of Anyang and Dingyang have been lost.

Fortunately, the spies said that there were not many men and horses in this force.

Now I really fell into a problem, I went to Xue Cheng, Xue Cheng didn't know if he could be saved, and returned to Anyang and Dingyang, then Xue Cheng would definitely be defeated.

The problem is so thorny, even the people who occupied Anyang and Dingyang are not clear, and the victory or defeat on the way forward is unknown.

After some discussion, Liu Bang finally made up his mind to return to Anyang and Dingyang. Xue Cheng is lost, the righteous army may still be able to fight, if it is Anyang, Dingyang can't get it back, then the two armies don't even have a place to live in peace, can they become bandits. After many times of analysis and thinking, everyone decided to return to Anyang and Dingyang. Xue Cheng, just ask for more blessings.

The rear base camp was occupied, and this was repaid. Feng Jin ran back and forth angrily, his face was full of anxiety and anger, and he walked in front of Liu Bang and said, "** Lord, give me a group of horses, I will immediately lead the troops back to the division to rescue, I want to see which rabbit cub does not open his eyes and dares to occupy my Anyang." ”

Anyang, Dingyang, the situation is still unknown, although everyone is anxious, there is no way, now the army is all out of the army, and the remaining soldiers are only some soldiers guarding the city, Liu Bang immediately ordered, so that Feng Jin led 3,000 men and horses back to the division to rescue Dingyang. What is Dingyang, not Anyang, is very simple, Dingyang is the closest.

Judging from the intelligence, the way of occupation of these two groups of men and horses is the same, and it is almost certain that these two groups of men and horses should have been committed by one person. Zhuge Liang also sent 2,000 men and horses for Feng Jin to dispatch, and ordered Feng Jin to rush back overnight as the advance army, first, to find out the situation, and second, to recapture the city as much as possible, and the army followed closely.

Xue Cheng is in danger, and even Anyang and Dingyang are occupied silently. This rebel army seems to have reached a point of no return.

Chu Dingde's army attacked the city again, and Lu Bu and the others resisted desperately. The two sides held onto each other, and Lu Bu, Li Cunxiao, Dian Wei and others personally stood on the city wall to resist the enemy army.

The killing was dark, and the bravery of the three people inspired the soldiers, but they repelled wave after wave of enemy troops. Li Cunxiao repelled a wave of enemy troops and slowly moved to Lu Bu's side. Said "Lu Bu, it's almost over, you and Dian Wei have withdrawn some of the soldiers, I will resist here for the time being, they will not be able to break through the city gate for a while, although you take the soldiers away, I will follow you." ”

This was discussed yesterday, and the city gate was strengthened at night to delay the enemy's breakthrough time, and the enemy army gradually withdrew when the city was attacked. As for why they didn't wait for the night to evacuate, it was because their military supplies were already insufficient, and they couldn't wait for the night before Chu Dingde's army could break through the city gate.

At present, it is true that it will not be long before it will be occupied by the enemy, Lu Bu immediately retreated, and together with Dian Wei, gradually withdrew the soldiers and went straight to the south gate.

Lu Bu and Dian Wei led the soldiers at the south gate to wait for Li Cunxiao's arrival. Li Cunxiao was very powerful, with his personal bravery, together with the soldiers, he temporarily repelled a wave of enemy troops, and led the soldiers to quickly join Lu Bu and Dian Wei.

The three of them said no more, opened the city gate directly, and the army rushed out. This south gate, the peripheral environment is sinister, it is simply a waste gate, usually only a small number of soldiers are sent to guard, if Chu Dingde's army wants to attack from the south gate, it will be difficult to climb to the sky, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. Not to mention his 70,000 army, even 7 million can't attack it, because it is impossible to accommodate so many people outside at the same time.

Everyone looked back at Xue Cheng, reluctant to abandon Xue Cheng like this, there are their memories here, and there are many soldiers who are natives of Xue Cheng, and now they are forced to leave their hometowns, which is really helpless. Seeing this scene, Lu Bu shouted, I will bring you back! It will come back, it will come back one day, the generals are convinced.

Xue Cheng's army was defeated and retreated, and Xue Cheng discarded. Outside the south gate, it is surrounded by mountains on one side and water on the other, and the road is rugged. This provided a very good condition for the evacuation of Xue Cheng's soldiers.

The south gate was sealed, and the soldiers and horses of Xue Cheng embarked on the road of leaving their hometown, and they didn't know when they would be able to return to their hometown again, and everyone's mood was very solemn. The army was evacuating in an orderly manner, presumably at this time, Chu Dingde's army had already entered Xue City, knowing that they had evacuated from the south gate.

On the way to evacuate, everyone did not speak, they no longer knew what to say, but they heard the footsteps of the soldiers, and the sighs from time to time.

Although the morale of the soldiers is not high, they are not depressed, because they are convinced that they will come back, this is their faith, and they believe that one day they will win, even if it is at the cost of their lives.

The soldiers accepted today's escape, but the spies in front of them returned with suffocating news, there was an ambush not far away, and there were many of them!

Xue Cheng couldn't go back, and there were ambushes ahead. Could it be that the soldiers of Xue Cheng are doomed? There are different voices in everyone's hearts, and everyone can't see the way forward clearly.

I don't know if it's God's mercy or God's grief for Xue Cheng, but it's raining heavily! Huge raindrops fell on the soldiers' faces, and the soldiers braved the heavy rain to attack, there was no way back, only to fight hard, let this heavy rain fall more violently. Only this heavy rain can wash away all the blood, even if it is death, it will also be a clean death!
