Besides, the people and horses of Xue Dingshan arrived in Xiangyang City on this day. The scouts under his command came to report and said: "General Qiyu, there is Xiangyang City in front, but I only saw the flag fluttering at the pass, and there were no soldiers guarding it, the city gate was opened, and the drawbridge was not pulled, I don't know what tricks there are, so I came to report to the general." ”

Qin Qiong said: "Everyone, let's not despise Yuangai Suwen, this person can integrate Jingzhou in a short period of time without any background, train elite soldiers, and unify the south, it must not be underestimated, we must be careful to enter the customs." ”

Shan Xiongxin said unconvinced next to him: "General Qin, you are too fussful, General Xue Xiao is the vanguard, he has won several cities in Jingzhou in a row, and he has won all the way, and the people of Jingzhou have no power to fight back, it must be this Yuan Gai Suwen who heard about the prestige of our General Xue Xiao, and had to retreat before leading the troops to retreat." In my opinion, you are too careful! ”

Xue Dingshan said at this time: "General Shan, don't underestimate the enemy, when I arrived here, I don't know why, I actually had a feeling of fear, I was afraid that there was a trick of that Yuan Gai Suwen here, I still had to move forward carefully, don't fall into this Yuan Gai Suwen's ambush." ”

Although Shan Xiongxin was not convinced, he felt that Qin Qiong and Xue Dingshan were too careful, but he had to obey Xue Dingshan's orders and move forward carefully. Everyone pushed all the way to the foot of Xiangyang City, but there was still no trace of the Jingzhou army. Shan Xiongxin shouted that he wanted the army to be stationed in Xiangyang City, but Xue Dingshan said that there must be demons when things go wrong, and he didn't want all the troops to be stationed in Xiangyang City. However, it was already nearly dusk, and it was about to fall into the night. In the end, he asked Shan Xiongxin to enter Xiangyang City with some soldiers and horses, and he and Qin Qiong led a large army to be stationed outside Xiangyang City.

At night, suddenly a soldier came forward to report: "General, general, something is wrong, there is a fire in the back of our battalion." There were two Jingzhou soldiers on the south, all of whom were fired by rockets, and the tents of the three armies were burned. “

Xue Dingshan suddenly had cold sweat oozing out of his back, and shouted, "Oh, it's not good!" I have fallen for the trick of this old thief of Gai Suwen! After speaking, Xue Dingshan picked up his halberd and mounted his horse and rushed out of the camp gate. When I went out to take a look, I saw that the south of the camp was full of Jingzhou soldiers and horses, countless, and it was attacked at night, and the military camp was suddenly in chaos, and there was no way to resist at night. Although Shan Xiongxin has the heart to help in Xiangyang City, after all, there are too few soldiers and horses entering the city, in case Yuan Gai Suwen has a back hand, I am afraid that Xiangyang City will not be able to defend it, and it is also powerless to want to help.

At this time, Qin Qiong saw that Xue Dingshan also rushed out, so he asked, "General Xue, how is this good?" ”

Xue Dingshan sighed loudly and said: "This defeat is irretrievable, and the army is ordered to enter Xiangyang City from the four gates and abandon the baggage. Qin Qiong also had a lot of indecisive people, and he went down to convey the order after receiving the order. After the army entered the city, the four gates were closed, the drawbridge was pulled, and the Xue family's army, which had defeated the army, rested like this and prepared to fight tomorrow.

On the second day, Xue Dingshan liquidated the loss, just last night, Yuan Gai Suwen was in a fire, General Xue's Erlang lost thousands of men and horses, as well as countless grains and grasses, although Shan Xiongxin brought in some grain and grass yesterday, but because the time is effective, I am afraid that it can only support more than ten days. However, Xue Dingshan had no choice. I had to go to the top of the city with Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin to see the formation of the Jingzhou army.

Although it was hostile, Xue Dingshan couldn't help but praise and said, "It's really a good camp." But I saw:

The east is pressed by the blue and green flag, the west is pressed by the white silk flag, the south has the big red flag, and the north has the soap sable flag. The black fog rises layer by layer, the red desert is deserted, and thousands of murderous qi lock the sky, a fishy * fascination of the universe. There are strange guns and knives in front of the camp, and strange swords and halberds are inserted behind the wall, all of which are sorghum and big-nosed children, how can there be a strong man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes. The patrol camp eats raw meat and drinks blood, like a sheep hound; The small members of the management team play with the skeletons, like yaksha spirits.

There is an unkempt head, like a felt piece, like a steel needle, a race iron wire, yellow hair wrapped in three chain pendants, bloody stained cinnabar cakes; There is a strange cheek, brass bell eyes, open like a lamp, two eyes with two rays of light, and a foul mouth over the ears; There is a sea beard, * beard, bamboo root beard, shrimp beard, three locks of beard, 10,000 steel needles on the mouth, a ball of thatch long lips; There is a purple gold hoop, double pheasant tails; There was a fox tail with a red tasseled hat; There were three eyes together, facing the olecranon nose; There is a bent face, born with gilded teeth; One of them slept in the saddle with a child in their arms; There is a group of people who hugged Fan Po and fell asleep immediately; There is a two-handed pull, pulling hairy chicken; There is a beef and mutton that gnaws and chews together. The red sun has no light and grows suddenly, and the flag and the halberd penetrate the cold light; It seems that there is no door lock in the city, and the evil ghosts of Fanbang are reincarnated. Phew! It's a desperate camp.

Suddenly, the Jingzhou soldiers under the city shouted in unison; "The Generalissimo has arrived!"

Yuangai Suwen was draped all over his body, sat on a horse and carried the soldiers, and came to the West Gate City, and the deputy generals on both sides followed by thousands of people, and the flags were displayed, thinking about attacking the city.

Suddenly, I looked up at the top and bottom of Xiangyang City, shouting: "Bah! What kind of pioneer of Qi State's expedition to the south is that in the city, Xue Rengui's kid? Skynet is magnificent, negligent but not leaky. Today has won my plan, you don't want to live again, quickly go out of the city and surrender, and still leave the whole corpse! This shout startled the soldiers in the city in a cold sweat, and all the deputy generals were taken aback, and looked down, but it turned out to be Yuangai Suwen. Although Xue Dingshan didn't recognize it, seeing how he dressed up, it turned out to be:

Wearing a bronze phoenix wing helmet, the red tassel bucket is big to the sky, wearing bronze armor, attracting a piece of tape ring, lined with green embroidered robes, embroidered dragon and embroidered phoenix, there is a treasure carving bow on the left arm, a few wolf tooth arrows are inserted in the left, sit down and mix the sea horse, the four hooves run like thunder, the hand is a red copper knife, the left hand holds the knife and the right hand pushes, it is really a good general!

Xue Dingshan took a look, the Jingzhou military camp outside the city is in danger everywhere, if it is forcibly broken through, I am afraid that if the whole army is not wiped out, it will be difficult to have many people left, and Xue Rengui in the back knows that Xue Dingshan is brave, so he will be in the back of the mountains and rivers, I am afraid that he will not be able to get here for a while, and no one will report to him, the food and grass in Xiangyang City are not enough, I am afraid that it is difficult to persevere.

Xue Dingshan, Qin Qiong and Shan Xiongxin retreated to the mansion of Gai Suwen in the middle of Xiangyang City, and arrogantly entered Xiangyang City, which was already the temporary military conference hall for Xue Dingshan and others. Although there is also Liu Qi's palace, after all, Liu Qi is also the emperor with the support of Yuangai Suwen, if Xue Dingshan enters now, I am afraid that he will leave gossip.

Everyone was discussing in Yuangai Suwen's mansion, Xue Dingshan said: "General Qin, General Shan, this time I didn't watch out for the enemy's tricks, I fell for their schemes, and when I got to my father, I should take all the sins, but now how is it good, I and the three of us have to discuss a charter!" ”
