After Liu Chengzhi vomited blood, he did not appear in the camp for several days. The soldiers below talked a lot, and they all said that the young marshal was only afraid of bad luck this time.

Sure enough, after a few days, the morale of the Chengzhi army fluctuated, and soldiers began to flee. After a few more days, the Chengzhi army, escorted by the army in front, began to pack up and prepare to evacuate.

Liu Shiingshen was skeptical of this information, and his years of experience in leading troops gave the veteran a fox-like sense of smell.

At this time, Mr. Mei happened to come over, and he asked, "Mr. Mei, this Liu Chengzhi's martial arts are world-famous, it shouldn't be so soon, right?"

Mr. Mei didn't speak, squinted at him, and as he was leaving, a dart flew out and grazed the war horse beside Lau. With a stick of incense, the war horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground, and Liu Shiing's body was thoughtful.

At this time, Mr. Mei was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he knew that Liu Chengzhi could not die so soon, but on the other hand, he hoped that Liu Chengzhi could die in his own hands, instead of falling under Liu Xingshen's sword. He hesitated for a moment, but walked away.

A day later, the Chengzhi army was fully mobilized and retreated. Liu Shiingshen was quite jealous of Cheng Zhijun, and knew that this was the biggest stumbling block for Li Longxun to compete for the world, so he must get rid of it quickly.

Liu Shiingshen abandoned the city of Mianzhou and began to pursue the Chengzhi army with all his might. At this time, the Chengzhi army was about to collapse at the touch of a button and ran to Luofeng City in the south of Mianzhou City.

After a while, Liu Shiingshen chased him to the Wutong Slope outside Luofeng City, where weeds were overgrown.

Liu Shiingshen felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly stopped, but he heard a "bang", and countless archers appeared on both sides of the slope, and the arrows in their hands were coated with fire oil.

Liu Xingshen secretly screamed badly, and ordered the soldiers to retreat, but it was too late.

The arrows fell on the soldiers, as well as on the weeds next to them, and half of the soldiers had already been caught in the fire due to the dry air and the wind of the fire that summer.

Liu Shiingshen shouted: "Attention! The front team has become the rear team, everyone retreats, and if you can't retreat, you will die!"

Liu's troops were all strictly trained, quickly changed formation, and retreated to Mianzhou City.

However, the way back has been blocked by the Cheng Zhi army, Liu Shiingshen commanded the troops and Cheng Zhijun to conduct a comprehensive duel, because there was no way back in the rear, Liu Shiingshen was quite a bit of a broken boat, the first charge, led the troops and finally rushed back.

However, Cheng Zhijun followed Liu Shiingshen all the way north, but still returned to Mianzhou City, and compressed Liu's troops in a narrow triangle at the mouth of Wolongpo.

Due to the impact of the fire attack and the all-out retreat, Liu Shiingshen's troops were less than 100,000 at this time.

Since then, Liu Shiingshen no longer has the strength to fight against the Chengzhi army.

Liu Chengzhi only said that Liu Shiingshen was already at the end of the crossbow, so he launched a general attack for several days in a row, but it was always ineffective, Liu Shiingshen's troops not only attacked sharply, but also defended with one as ten.

Liu Chengzhi had no choice for a while, so he ordered people to step up the rebuilding of Mianzhou City, because Mianzhou City only broke the city wall in the east, the project was also simple, and the construction was completed after half a month.

That day, Liu Chengzhi was sitting in the camp tent and was bored, but he saw Liu Xiaoqi bring in a person dressed as a woodcutter.

Liu Chengzhi said: "General Liu, who is this gentleman?"

Liu Xiaoqi said: "This fellow is our method of victory this time!"

Liu Chengzhi knew that Liu Xiaoqi had always been calm, and what he said must be true, his eyes lit up, and he said: "This is very good, this gentleman, please take a seat!"

The woodcutter's man was a little restrained, insisted on not sitting, and said: "Second son, since you governed Mianzhou City, we have lived and worked in peace and contentment, we have food and clothing, and the taxes collected are small, which is a hundred times stronger than that Feng Guoyong, and our people are grateful for your kindness!"

Liu Chengzhi said with a smile: "Chengzhi has been educated by the saint for many years, and now although he leads the army, he still understands the truth that the people can carry the boat and also overturn the boat, and Mr. does not have to be restrained in front of me." ”

Liu Xiaoqi said with a smile: "This fellow just gave me a trick. ”

When Liu Chengzhi heard this, he became interested and asked, "What kind of conspiracy?"

The woodcutter said: "How do you know what to fight, what a trick, I only know that there is a trail in this back mountain, which leads directly to Wolongpo, I just told General Liu the route!"

Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed and said, "General Liu, you must reward this gentleman well." ”

After sending off the fellow countrymen, Liu Xiaoqi came to Liu Chengzhi and said, "Young master, we can use this road to attack Liu Xingshen from the rear!"

Liu Chengzhi smiled: "I have a better way than a pinch!"

At present, the Chengzhi Army still has more than 600,000 elite troops, including 100,000 cavalry. In the past few days, Liu Chengzhi has transferred 300,000 infantry and 100,000 cavalry from the rear to Mianzhou.

That night, Liu Chengzhi ordered Liu Xiaoqi to lead 100,000 infantry through the trail and march towards Wolongpo.

Liu Xiaoqi ordered everyone not to make a sound, walked for about two hours, and entered the path between Qinglong Mountain and Baihu Mountain.

I walked along this path for two more hours, and when I arrived at the town of Guang'an, it was already dark. Liu Xiaoqi ordered everyone to line up, slow down, and slowly march towards the Guang'an granary.

The Guang'an granary was garrisoned by Feng Guihua, Li Longxun's favorite retainer, and his daily task was to send some grain to Liu's troops.

He and Liu Shiingshen are old partners, because Liu Shiingshen can fight well, after the previous expedition, even if the enemy wants to cut off the grain road, Liu Shiingshen will handle it very well, and there has never been a problem in the rear, so he feels that his job is the so-called "fat difference", eating all day long, drinking and having fun.

The night before, Feng Guihua was having a banquet with a group of old friends, who would have thought that an enemy army could fight here, and early morning was the time when he slept most soundly.

Liu Xiaoqi sent several masters to solve the guards, and then surrounded the Guang'an granary and began to shoot with rockets.

After a while, the entire Guang'an granary fell into a sea of fire, and the defenders came out of the granary, and one was wiped out by the Chengzhi army, so the Chengzhi army did not sacrifice a single person, and all the 50,000 defenders of Guang'an were annihilated and the Guang'an granary was burned.

Then Liu Xiaoqi began to build a camp, and used part of the grain snatched from the Guang'an granary as rations to defend it at the Wolong slope.

It had been the fifth day that no food had been delivered, and Liu Shiingshen secretly screamed that it was not good, and sent out three spies, but none of them came back.

He knew in his heart that he was afraid that the grain channel would be cut off. The morale of the army has been sluggish since the last defeat, and with the lack of food this time, it is difficult to say whether the troops can be saved.

At this time, the Chengzhi army only besieged but did not attack, slowly consuming the morale and physical strength of Liu's troops.

Liu Shiingshen only felt like a child who was about to drown, and he wanted to exert himself but couldn't use it, so he could only wait for the air to leave him little by little.

Liu thought about it and finally made up his mind. He came to Mr. May's tent and knocked softly on the door.

Mr. May coughed, and he respectfully opened the door and walked into the tent.
