Chapter 41: Death Battle

Jiang Liangzhe walked quickly on the mountain trail, and the earlier he returned to the barracks, the earlier he could let General Ping know the situation.

The attack on the grain transportation team also made Jiang Liangzhe have doubts in his heart.

Six grain transport teams, is the scout ability of the Xuanzhou Army so good? I robbed this real grain and grass.

I'm afraid there are some fine works in this Nanwei army.

Jiang Liangzhe's water quality is not good, but this time he chose to take the waterway in order to hurry back to the camp.

He crossed the nameless mountain on the border, spent an hour at the foot of the mountain, cut a few bamboos with a broken knife to make a simple bamboo raft, went upstream, and finally landed in the east of the Nanwei military camp in the middle of the night.

Ping Yuanzhong met Jiang Liangzhe in the early morning of the next day.

The originally handsome man was embarrassed at this time, the sleeves of his coat were gone, revealing his underwear, and the hem of his clothes was torn to tatters.

In order to fix the bamboo raft, Jiang Liangzhe had no choice but to tear off the clothes on his body.

"General, the military rations have been robbed, the grain team has been wiped out, and the last general is guilty."

Jiang Liangzhe knelt in front of Ping Yuanzhong and bowed his head very low.

Ping Yuanzhong didn't speak, he was thinking about the court documents he received today.

On the surface, he was encouraging him, but in fact he was suspected of his ineffective supervision of the battle and delayed the fighter.

After all, this victorious general, since the sneak attack, except for taking the city of Xuanzhou, there has been no progress in this battle, and many ministers in the court are already dissatisfied with him.

Now that there is no food and grass supply, Ping Yuanzhong stood in the big tent of the Chinese army and frowned.

"Get up, the matter of military rations will be discussed later, and you will go down and heal first."

"General, the last general has something to report, and the last general suspects that our army has done something detailed about the military rations."

Hearing the sound, Ping Yuanzhong, whose thoughts were far away, was pulled back.

It's not that he didn't suspect that there were fine works in the army, but judging from the looting of grain, this fine work level may not be low.

"You go down and rest first." Jiang Liangzhe retreated.

Ping Yuanzhong looked at the sand table in front of him and fell into deep thought.

If you can take Mengxi County within three days, the Nanwei army still has a glimmer of life, if not, the retreat of the large army is the best choice at present.

After much hesitation, he still decided to withdraw the 80,000 troops to Nanhao, and the remaining 10,000 to stick to the city of Xuanzhou, and he was willing to live and die with these 10,000 soldiers.

Only by surviving can people have a chance to get more, and the 80,000 good sons and daughters who have returned to China will be able to fight back one day.

-------------------------------------

The news of the annihilation of Xiao Xuanyu and his party was transmitted back to the barracks two days later.

There was more than one survivor of that fire. Two soldiers who were guarding the rations at the cliff cave survived.

The military rations of the Nanwei army were successfully robbed, and the people who robbed the grain were all wiped out, and Qian Tianhe didn't know whether he should be happy or worried.

He has been waiting for the fire of the Nanluo military camp, and the firelight together means that the grain and grass robbery has been successful.

He would then take 4,000 light cavalry and 6,000 soldiers to attack the Nanwei military camp from the other side.

Liu Xiao will also lead the main force to attack the city of Xuanzhou.

But the current situation is what Qian Tianhe never expected.

He couldn't help but think of the first time he and Xiao Xuanyu met.

At that time, he had just turned nine years old and went to Jingwang's Mansion as a guest.

It was a wedding feast, and King Jing married his cousin as a continuation.

After eating, the adults were still chatting, and the children of various families gathered in the garden of Jingwang's Mansion to play and play.

Xiao Xuanyu was a thin little boy at that time, with a bit of timidity, and he didn't look as tall as Jiang Ziyue.

He held a juju in his hand and stepped forward to invite Qian Tianhe to play together.

Qian Tianhe still remembers that the Keju was red, there was not much decoration on it, the interface of the leather was a little rough, and the stitches were a little crooked.

Later, he learned that the juju was made by Xiao Xuanyu's mother who died early.

The truth about King Jing's death, before I could tell him, why did he die.

Qian Tianhe looked at the topographic map in front of him, and the city of Xuanzhou was still in the hands of the Nanwei army.

He wanted to replant the big red Kundong military flag on the city wall of Xuanzhou.

-------------------------------------

The loss of more than 1,000 people has brought back the current situation, and from the perspective of time, the military rations of the Nanwei army can no longer last for two days.

Ye Chengping was determined to take advantage of this rare opportunity to drive the southern army out of Kundong in one fell swoop.

There were 70,000 troops in the city and 10,000 outside the city.

If it is a direct attack on the city of Xuanzhou, the 10,000 troops outside the city will besiege the Xuanzhou army from the east side.

If it is only against the troops stationed outside the city, the Nanwei army on the city wall may attack with hidden arrows.

Ye Chengping decided to attack from both sides at the same time, and the first task was to annihilate the Nanwei army outside the city in one fell swoop. As for the city, there is not enough food and grass, and the siege waits for them, and they will not starve to death.

10,000 soldiers skilled in archery lay in ambush on the south bank of the water.

20,000 attacked the city of Xuanzhou, the remaining 60,000, 10,000 defended the city, and 50,000 rushed to the Nanwei army outside the city.

The smoke rising from the cooking smoke of the Nanwei army every day does not seem to have decreased, but most of the people have been moved.

When Qian Tianhe approached the Nanwei military camp with an army of 50,000, there were only more than 1,000 people here.

Ping Yuanzhong has been transferred to the city of Xuanzhou, and the general after the Nanwei military camp is broken is Jiang Liangzhe, who escaped death.

Small catapults, throwing canisters of oil one after another, ambushed the archers on the south bank of the water, creating a rain of arrows on the north side of the barracks.

Qian Tianhe sat on the jujube red horse and looked at the high tongue of fire.

In the distance behind him was Liu Hua and his party, who were attacking Xuanzhou City.

The shouts of killing are soaring to the sky, this is a battlefield, and it is also a purgatory on earth.

Jiang Liangzhe, as a general after the break, was determined to die, he only hated this overwhelming fire, and he couldn't let him fight with the enemy in a dignified manner before he died.

Qian Tianhe rode Dongwu, looking at the people who were churning in the sea of fire, but what kept flashing in front of him was Xiao Xuanyu's face.

50,000 soldiers against 1,000, no suspense slaughter, rushed out of the sea of fire, none of them could escape the mending knife of the Xuanzhou army.

Ping Yuanzhong stood on the north wall of the city of Xuanzhou, and the only thing they could throw into the city was the hard stones and large and small logs.

There were not many arrows left, and Ping Yuanzhong distributed the arrows to the first-class archery soldiers, who stood on the city wall with only one goal, to shoot the enemy generals.

Liu Xiao, who led the troops this time, was a thousand households of the Xuanzhou Army, and last time he surrendered, he led more than 10,000 people to successfully annihilate the thousands of elites led by Ping Yuanzhong at the north gate of Mengxi County.

Liu Xiao is brave and strategic, and his calmness is not inferior to Qian Tianhe, but he has an Achilles' heel, he is lustful, and he can't walk when he sees a beauty.

Therefore, Ye Chengping was willing to reuse him, but he did not intend to cultivate him as an heir.

A feather arrow was aimed at Liu Xiao in the center of the queue, and Ping Yuanzhong and a group of soldiers were killing on the city wall.

The stones are gone, the logs are used up, and the Xuanzhou army continues to climb the city wall with rope ladders, and Ping Yuanzhong, who knows that the general trend has gone, is desperately killing the enemy.

Blood fascinated Ping Yuanzhong's eyes, but the Xuanzhou army on the city wall couldn't finish killing.
