Liu Chenghao was taken aback, and the generals were also talking about it, you must know that Liu Jinnan's cultivation is a high-level in the Yuanlong Realm, and there is a rare rival in the Great Jin Dynasty, and he is known as the first master of the Great Jin Dynasty.

But come to think of it, although the person who came only made two moves, he was able to not be defeated under the hands of the Yuanlong Realm, and he retreated in the midst of thousands of troops, so he was also a top master.

Shangguan Tianmin knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, and after resigning from Liu Jinnan, he led the convoy back to the city. Before leaving, Liu Jinnan specially called Xiang Wuji, a capable general, to lead a team of people to escort him.

The poison in Liu Jinnan is extremely peculiar, although his own martial arts are extremely high, and he has military doctors to extend the treatment, there is no danger to his life, but there is no way to completely get rid of it, so he has to slowly eliminate the poison through true qi. Encountering such an incident just after setting off cast a shadow on the whole expedition.

Half a month later, the Great Jin army arrived at the foot of Qinyang City.

At this time, the rebels had occupied Xiliang, Yunxi and most of Ruixing, it can be said that the western part of the Great Jin Dynasty was basically under the control of the rebels, and the southern part of Ruixing was temporarily safe because of the garrison of the Confucian general Hu Deliang's million soldiers and horses.

Due to the danger of Qinyang City, the guard general Meng Shaoqiang was loyal to his duties, and finally did not let the rebels advance eastward.

After the Great Jin army arrived at the city, they quickly got in touch with the defenders, and the troops were stationed in the city. As soon as he entered the city, Liu Jinnan summoned the chief soldier Meng Shaoqiang to discuss the situation. After Meng Shao forcibly saluted, Liu Jinnan gave him a seat.

Liu Jinnan said: "General Meng has been fighting hard for days, I don't know what you think of the current situation and the enemy's situation?"

Meng Shaoqiang said: "Thank you Taiwei for your trust, at present, in the four western provinces, Geshu Wuji has accounted for three, and most of Ruixing has also fallen into his hands, it can be said that the only hope at present is to get in touch with Hu Deliang as soon as possible, and the two sides have a chance of winning." It's just that the west of Qinyang City has been surrounded, and it is only difficult to send a message to the south of Ruixing. ”

Liu Jinnan nodded slightly, noncommittal, and then asked: "I don't know why Geshu Wuji has such a strong army, according to reason, there are more than 500,000 troops stationed in Xiliang and Yunxi provinces, why are they so vulnerable?"

Meng Shaoqiang said: "Taiwei doesn't know, before Geshu Wuji entered Xijiang Province, there were 800,000 troops with him, plus the imperial court gave all the government, finance, and military power of Xijiang Province, and Xijiang has been rich since ancient times, and it is very easy to garrison troops, so Wuji recruited 50,000 longbow soldiers. ”

"The people of Western Xinjiang are fierce, close to Xirong, and there are countless township brave regiments. In order to fight against Xirong, the local regiments in Western Xinjiang trained more longbow soldiers. ”

"This longbow is three feet long, extremely difficult to pull, and once pulled, it has three times the range of an ordinary bow. Although the longbowmen are militiamen, most of them are beginner masters of the Hidden Dragon Realm, and they have practiced archery since childhood, and their strength is extremely strong. ”

"Our ordinary archers, pikemen and cavalry are no match at all. With these 50,000 longbow soldiers, Geshu Buji can be said to be invincible and invincible. ”

After Liu Jinnan listened, he fell into deep thought, and then Meng Shaoqiang withdrew. Liu Jinnan took out the small two-inch brand, which looked like gold and not gold, and rubbed it for a long time.

Then he took out a pen and paper and wrote something, took the seal from his side and stamped it, and finally called Liu Chenghao and Xiang Wuji over.

Liu Jinnan said: "You use this spy shadow card to notify the spy shadow gate in Ruixing Province, quickly get in touch with Hu Deliang, send him my handwritten letter, and discuss the joint march together, remember not to let him know about the existence of the spy shadow gate!"

The spy shadow gate is a Jianghu organization operated by Liu Jinnan for many years, and the peddlers and pawns are all-encompassing, and the institutions are all over the country of the Great Jin Dynasty, and the tentacles even extend to Xirong, Nanban and other places. Liu Jinnan can be invincible and has a great connection with this organization.

Seeing that they took away the spy card, Liu Jinnan couldn't help but carefully observe the previous injury, the wound had healed significantly, and the black gas was much smaller, but it still hadn't subsided.

On the outskirts of Ruixing's southern capital, Hu Deliang was studying in the military tent. He has been in the army for more than 20 years, no matter whether it is cold or hot, no matter whether the military situation is urgent or not, but he has always retained the habit of reading.

At this time, there was a noisy sound outside the tent, and Hu Deliang couldn't help but walk out of the military tent. I saw a young soldier escorted to his tent. Hu Deliang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The soldier who escorted him said: "This person said that he wanted to see you, and I saw that he was only afraid that he was a spy, but he took out this letter, and his subordinates did not dare to claim it without authorization, so they tied him up and brought him over." ”

Hu Deliang said: "Bring the letter!"

After opening the letter, he carefully examined the seal, returned to the tent, took out his own seal and compared it, and when he confirmed that it was correct, he said, "Bring him to my tent, I have something to ask." ”

After entering the account, Hu Deliang carefully read the letter twice, and when he had an idea in his heart, he asked the young soldier: "I don't know how many people are in Qinyang City at the moment?"

The soldier said, "The Taiwei army has 500,000 troops, and the General Meng Army Department has about 300,000. If you can encircle with the general, the force is far above that of Goshu Bukit. ”

Hu Deliang smiled and said, "Okay, please go down first, I have my own plans." ”

After about two hours, Hu Delian passed the soldier over again, gave him a letter, and told him to send him out of the barracks overnight.

It was already early in the morning, and Liu Jinnan was standing at the head of Xicheng, looking anxiously into the distance. Ten days ago, Hu Deliang agreed to attack the Geshu army at this time, and the two sides planned to use a small force to lead the Geshu army to the Qiling Cliff twenty miles west of the city, where Hu Deliang's army set up an ambush, and then with the imperial army in a three-sided situation, in one fell swoop, encircled and annihilated the headquarters of Geshu Wuji.

Today's Qinyang happened to be foggy, and there was fog everywhere, and the situation under the city was not very clear.

But soon, the Geshu army in front of the city began to stir, and slowly the troops approaching the city became fewer and fewer, Liu Jinnan held back the joy in his heart and walked down the city wall.

The soldiers and horses under the city wall had already finished marching, and after about an hour, the city gate slowly opened, and there were no more soldiers of the Geshu army in the west of Qinyang City.

Liu Jinnan left 300,000 troops under the command of Liu Chenghao and Xiang Wuji to assist Meng Shaoqiang in defending the city. He personally commanded 500,000 elites to urgently march to Qiling Cliff in the west of the city.

But two miles away from the city, Liu Jinnan seemed to have noticed something wrong, and ordered the troops to be stationed, yes, everything seemed to be too smooth, according to Liu Jinnan's keen intuition for many years of fighting, he felt something was wrong.

At this time, a fast horse galloped not far away, and the person who came was wearing a battle robe, but it was Hu Deliang's deputy Lin Yueran, who had served in the Taiwei Mansion back then, so everyone was familiar with it.

Liu Jinnan hurriedly invited him over. It turned out that after the Geshu army marched to Qiling Cliff, it did not directly enter the ambush circle, but was stationed at the cliff pass, so there was no major battle.

No wonder it was so quiet, hearing this, Liu Jinnan frowned, but his heart was in order. Although the current progress of the situation is not satisfactory, Hu Deliang's million-strong army, plus his own 500,000 elites, against the 1.3 million Geshu army, in terms of strength, can still fight, and he has commanded countless battles, and the troops in his hands are the elite of the Great Jin army.

Thinking of this, he commanded the troops to immediately march towards the Qiling Cliff with all their might, ready to fight at any time.

The fog became thicker, Liu Jinnan came to the Qiling Cliff, but heard a shout of killing in the cliff, could it be that Ge Shujun had already entered the pocket?

Liu Jinnan stepped up his efforts to urge the troops to enter the Qiling Cliff, but the surroundings were empty, and no battle took place. He secretly shouted that it was not good, and quickly ordered the front army to evacuate here immediately as the rear army.

But it was too late, and when I looked for Lin Yueran again, there was no trace of him. Several siege engines stopped at the mouth of the cliff, which was lit on fire, and countless soldiers stood behind them.

At this time, arrows began to be released on the cliff, and the arrows were very special, the arrows were thick and long, and the arrows were particularly sharp, sometimes they could even penetrate the bodies of two people, and the arrows were smeared with fire oil.

"This must be the arrow released by the longbowmen. Liu Jinnan muttered.

As the bows and arrows continued to fall, countless soldiers fell to the ground.

At this time, Liu Jinnan shouted: "Everyone hurry up and rush to the cliff mouth, otherwise no one will survive!" At this time, the soldiers reacted and rushed towards the cliff mouth with all their might.

But the enemy soldiers at the cliff pass were all hiding behind the siege engines, and they were in front with spears, and everyone could not cross the defensive line at all.

After a few minutes of this, the enemy forces blocking the cliff began to disintegrate from the rear. It turned out that Liu Jinnan had left 100,000 elite soldiers as a backhand in advance, and they were outside the cliff as a response, and at this time, this army came from the rear of the enemy army, and finally temporarily alleviated the crisis.

The troops inside the cliff began to slowly withdraw in the rain of arrows. But in just ten minutes, more than half of the troops have been lost, these are all elite soldiers trained for many years, Liu Jinnan's heart is like a knife. Surrounded by troops, he began to evacuate to Qinyang City.

When the troops passed through Luo Feipo, ten miles west of Qinyang City, the military drums suddenly sounded on all sides, and it turned out that Hu Deliang had ambushed 200,000 troops between Qinyang City and Qiling Cliff. The troops were intercepted again, and the cavalry of the Geshu army behind them also quickly killed. The remaining 200,000 tired soldiers were flanked on three sides here!

Liu Jinnan took the lead, holding a long sword and rushing to the front. At this time, a familiar black shadow appeared again, it was the soldier who had assassinated the emperor with a short blade last time.

He rose high in the ranks, and after only a few ups and downs, he came to Liu Jinnan. At this time, Liu Jinnan saw his face clearly for the first time. It was a white, expressionless face, apparently masked.

must strike first, Liu Jinnan's muscles all over his body mobilized, and he stabbed him with all his might.

The soldier dodged slightly to one side, and Liu Jinnan was shocked, this person's martial arts were only higher than previously estimated.

He couldn't help asking: "What is the identity of friends, and why do they repeatedly struggle with each other." Looking at your skills, I guess Brother Shu Wuji may not be able to move you!"

The soldier laughed: "Anyway, you are about to die without a place to be buried, let you be a ghost, you should have heard of Mei Tianfeng, the old monster of Changshan!"

Liu Jinnan calculated in his heart that Mei Tianfeng, the old monster of Changshan, is a peerless master who has risen in recent years, with a unique body and good at using poison. Thinking of this, Liu Jinnan looked solemn.

At this time, a sword stabbed diagonally from the side and back, and Liu Jinnan jumped backwards, which was able to dodge this fatal move. Looking back, it was not who Goshu Buji was.

Geshu Wuji is good at making swords, although he is a Hu person, but the Chinese language is excellent, once won the martial champion, and even won the appreciation of the son of heaven Liu Chengshi, as a confidant. Seeing the two masters attacking him together, Liu Jinnan knew that he was afraid that he would not be good today.

Liu Jinnan made a preemptive strike and stabbed a sword at Mei Tianfeng. Mei Tianfeng flashed sideways, and slashed at him with a palm, and at this time, Geshu Wuji also stabbed Liu Jinnan in the back.

Liu Jinnan jumped backwards and retreated, and was slashed by the sword stabbed by Geshu Wuji in his back. As he jumped, he slapped his palm diagonally. I saw a skillful combination of the strength of the two people, Mei Tianfeng's palm wind rushed directly towards Geshu Wuji, and Geshu Wuji's sword also stabbed at Mei Tianfeng. The two hurriedly withdrew their hands, secretly surprised in their hearts.

At this time, Liu Jinnan turned around and waved his sword, and the sword qi completely enveloped the two of them. The two hurriedly transported their weapons to block.

Who knows, Liu Jinnan didn't wait for the move to get old, the long sword swung out sword flowers, and drilled into the gap between the two weapons, Mei Tianfeng was hit by a sword in his waist, and Geshu Wuji's hand was also cut.

The two of them were shocked, and only then did they realize that if they didn't deal with it with all their might, they might not be able to please today.

Mei Tianfeng suddenly sent out a dart and shot at Liu Jinnan's face, Liu Jinnan turned his head to dodge, and at this time, the Goshu Wuji long sword split into three sword flowers, attacking his head, chest and abdomen respectively.

Liu Jinnan swept backwards again and dodged this move.

The two followed like shadows, and followed Liu Jinnan to the rear. But I didn't know that I had entered the army.

The Great Jin army did not mess up at all when it encountered a strong enemy, and in groups of three, they stabbed at Geshu Wuji with guns. Goshu Buji had to block it.

At this time, Liu Jinnan's sword was already in the sheath, his left hand was palmed, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and he blasted towards Mei Tianfeng, who was more than ten steps away from him. Mei Tianfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and swept backwards, and a few rounds were already a few hundred meters away, without a trace.

This sword is the sword move "Floating Shadow" that Liu Jinnan has gathered all his life's painstaking efforts.

After this move was used, Liu Jinnan's true qi was almost exhausted, but he stabbed at Geshu Wuji again with his sword. Geshu Wuji calculated in his heart that he might not be able to accept this move, and besides, the Great Jin Army was already a battle of trapped beasts, so there was no need to risk his own life.

He plundered a few times and left the battlefield. At this time, Liu Jinnan couldn't support it anymore and fell to the ground, but fortunately, several lieutenants helped him up in time.

Without Goshu Buji, the cavalry in the rear did not dare to get too close. The Great Jin army was all elite, and they felt the weakening of the pressure, and they all tried their best to rush forward, while Hu Deliang's army was weak, and was rushed by the troops, and couldn't help but retreat a little.

Between advancing and retreating, the contrast of strength is even more obvious, and the Great Jin Army, led by several deputy generals, surrounded Liu Jinnan and pressed towards Qinyang City step by step.

After about a quarter of an hour, the longbowmen of the Geshu army, although weaker on their feet, were getting closer and closer, and if they caught up, I was afraid that these hundreds of thousands of people would die on the battlefield.

The remnants of the Great Jin Army realized the severity of the situation, shook their spirits, fought and retreated, and advanced the battle line to a place where there was only five miles left from Qinyang City. At this time, the Great Jin Army of Qinyang City got the report and hurriedly came out to answer and took the remnants back to the city.
