The three scouts stepped on their swords, jumped on their horses, and ran towards the army fifteen miles behind them, while the scout leader led the remaining seven or eight men to gallop away in the direction of the overflow.

The field of vision gradually became clearer, black smoke billowed on the overflowing river, and countless charred warship wrecks slowly floated down the current, and there were many corpses on the wreckage, dotted all over the place, like ghost boats, so that it did not seep into people.

There were also bulges floating in the tumbling river, like a handful of beans spilled into the river, and when you looked closely, you found that they were swollen corpses, which were mixed with fragmented banners of the Wei army.

The moment they saw the wreckage of the warship, the scouts knew that it was most likely the Wei Navy Division from Liancheng Port, but they still had the only chance of hoping that it was a warship of the Southern Dynasty.

It wasn't until I saw the flags and corpses floating in the clear water that I was sure that it was indeed the Wei Army's sailors.

There is only one possibility that there will be so many warship wrecks here, and that is that the sailors stationed in Liancheng Port have been wiped out!

"It's over...... It's all over ......."

The scouts ran to the bank of the river, and saw that the scene before them was all like thunder, and their faces were blank.

The army didn't care about it, didn't leave a back road, and galloped all the way towards Liancheng Port, that is, to use the sailors of Liancheng Port to cross the overflow and return north to Great Wei.

Now that the Lianchenggang Naval Division has been defeated, it is equivalent to cutting off the last way of life for Beiwuwei, and all the previous sacrifices and efforts have come to naught.

What's more, Beiwuwei is now not only alone in the depths, but also plunged headlong into the encirclement set up by the enemy, and there are also Black Flag troops behind him who are chasing and killing non-stop, which is simply embattled and cut off from life.

Despair, suffocating despair!

Scout Leader sat down on the ground, looking at the overflowing river with a blank face, his heart like ashes.

"Zuo Ling, the corpse over there seems to have moved, it really moved, it's a living person!"

The young scout suddenly pointed to the river bank and shouted, and the scout leader looked fixedly, and a person was washed up by the waves, facing the sky motionless, only his abdomen slightly swollen, and he seemed to be breathing.

Scout Zuo Ling was shocked, and shouted: "Quick, fish him up and take him to the Chinese army!" ”

Dozens of miles away, Zhong Qingyuan galloped all the way with 3,000 black flags and 10,000 rhino horn army cavalry.

The deputy general clamped the horse's belly, ran a few steps quickly, and came to Zhong Qingyuan's side and said, "General, I just received a report from the garrison along the overflow coast, and I haven't found any trace of Beiwuwei in the past few days. ”

Zhong Qingyuan's eyes froze: "They must have seen through our army's attack plan and found another way." ”

The adjutant general was shocked: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Zhong Qingyuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay, no matter which way they go, they will eventually rush to Liancheng Port, as long as we kill there, we can block them on the river!" ”

"Report !!"

At this moment, a herald whipped his horse, galloped to Zhong Qingyuan's side, and said loudly: "General Qiyu, the Chinese army is here to report that the prince lured the Wei army's sailors into Xingcheng Port last night, annihilated them with infantry troops, beheaded more than 4,000 people, and burned more than 100 enemy ships.

At present, the army has left a group to encircle and annihilate the remnants of Lianchenggang, and the main force has returned to the north to suppress the main force of the Wei army in the encirclement! ”

"Good!"

Zhong Qingyuan stroked his palms and laughed: "As soon as the Wei Army's sailor is broken, the Northern Wuwei will have the last hope and become a turtle in the urn, just wait for our army to arrive, we can wipe it all out!" ”

"Has the army accelerated its advance and broken the enemy in one fell swoop?"

The adjutant asked.

Zhong Qingyuan glanced at the dusty soldiers, shook his head and asked, "How far is our army from Liancheng Port?" ”

The adjutant general said: "At the current rate, there are still three hours. ”

Zhong Qingyuan thought for a moment and said: "The enemy has now become a shipwreck, and our army is rushing overnight, people are sleepy and horses are lacking, this battle is not easy to fight, not to mention that it is already dark after three hours, and the night battle is not conducive to our army."

Now that you have the chance to win, you don't have to take any chances! Pass my general's order, the army rests on the spot for half a day, raise enough horsepower, we set off at the right time, and arrive at Liancheng Port early tomorrow morning to fight to the death with Beiwuwei, this battle I want the Wei army to be wiped out! ”

"Yes!"

In Tianluo Town, the main force of the Northern Armed Forces surrounded the town, and the soldiers were busy taking local materials and building simple fortifications, and the huge town was silent, no one spoke, and the depressed emotions were like thick dark clouds, shrouding everyone's hearts.

In the center of the town, Wang Man led the guard camp to guard the ancestral hall, his cold eyes glanced at the ancestral hall from time to time, and a slight sneer flashed on his face.

In the ancestral hall, Liu Yi put on a helmet and armor, looked at the wounded soldier on the bed expressionlessly, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" ”

That person was the survivor who was rescued by the scouts from the river beach, and after some treatment by Mr. Changpo, the Holy Hand of the Medical Dao, he was now barely awake, and when he heard Liu Yi's question, he immediately struggled to get up.

Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, there are not so many rules in extraordinary times, just lie down and answer." ”

The man's face was pale, his lips were purple, and his body was very weak, he glanced at Liu Yi gratefully, and said: "The humble position is the governor of the eighth rank of the right guard, named Li Kun, who has seen the general. ”

"Right guard?"

Liu Yi was stunned: "Didn't the right guard follow the Marquis of Changping to attack the cities in the west of Jingyang, how could he run to the southeast of Jingyang?" ”

Li Kun smiled bitterly: "The general doesn't know, my right guard was indeed in the northwest of Jingyang, and the battle was very smooth, but just when our army was about to destroy the defenders of the Southern Dynasty in one go, it suddenly encountered the main force of the Southern Dynasty......"

At this, a look of fear appeared in his eyes, and his body trembled slightly.

"It is the main force of the King of Bingsheng Wuling, not to mention that there are one or two hundred thousand people, our army was caught off guard, defeated in a battle, and the 70,000 army was almost wiped out, only the three thousand guards of the Hou Ye struggled to break through and killed.

I was lucky to follow my marquis all the way to the west, wanting to join the main force of Qi Guogong, but on the way, I heard that Qi Guogong and several other people also encountered the main force of the Southern Dynasty, and they had been divided and surrounded, and they were holding on to help.

My marquis expected that after King Wuling annihilated the main force of our army, he would pay attention to several other armies, so he continued to flee westward, wanting to cross the entire Jingyang Province and return to Great Wei north with the sailors of Liancheng Port. ”

Hearing this, Liu Yi glanced at Yang Weiyuan, Cao Gonggong and Xu Rui.

Xu Rui sighed in his heart, he didn't expect that this Changping Hou's idea coincided with his own, but he was really too stupid, Beiwuwei was able to go to Lianchenggang because the distance was very close, and the army was on the southern line, too deep, there was no other way out.

And this Changping Marquis is in the northwest of Jingyang, over a few mountains is the border of the Great Wei State, if he did not move closer to the main force of Qi Guogong, but returned directly to the north, maybe now he has drilled a loophole and returned to the territory of Wei safely.

But after thinking about it, Xu Rui was relieved again.

First, it is a big crime to return to the dynasty in a fiasco, and if you can find other main forces, you may be able to turn the tables. Second, when the main force of the Southern Dynasties was beaten dizzy, the generals often instinctively looked for several other armies to rely on, thus missing the only chance to escape.

King Wuling grasped the psychology of these commanders, so he gathered them together like a sheep, surrounded and annihilated them, I have to say that this soldier saint is indeed worthy of the name.

"Since you appeared among the wreckage of the sailor, it means that you have successfully escaped to Liancheng Port, why don't you return north immediately, but you will be defeated by the Southern Dynasty in one fell swoop?"

Just thinking about it, I heard Liu Yi ask again.

At the mention of this, Li Kun shook his head, his face full of remorse.

"No, we didn't arrive at Liancheng Port."

"What?!"

Several people were shocked.

Li Kun smiled bitterly: "The army is very tired all the way, and it is difficult to go back after arriving at Xingcheng Port, which is more than sixty miles north of Liancheng Port, but fortunately, Hou Ye has already sent scouts to contact the sailor and agree to board the ship at Xingcheng Port and return north."

But the day before the sailor was dispatched, the main force of the Southern Dynasty suddenly came, and the king of Wuling personally commanded it, and the three major pro-armies took turns to fight, and it only took half an hour to slaughter my 3,000 remnants.

After the city was broken, the main force of the Southern Dynasty did not leave, but lay an ambush nearby, and waited until last night when the sailor sailed into the port to rescue according to the agreement, and then killed it in one fell swoop, breaking the sailor.

Captured by the army of the Southern Dynasties, he escaped in the chaos during the Great War and struggled to swim to a warship, but by then the tide had gone, and the sailors were blocked in the harbor by the Southern Dynasties, and they were cooked with a blazing fire, and hundreds of warships were all burned......"

Speaking of sadness, Li Kun was already in tears.

Several people in the room seemed to have been poured down by a basin of cold water, and they were cold from their heads to their feet.

The naval division was indeed wiped out, and the last bit of luck was ruthlessly shattered, Beiwuwei was embattled, with neither foreign aid nor a way out, and Xu Rui's Dunkirk retreat plan was completely bankrupt.

Gonggong Cao fell on the chair with his buttocks, Liu Yi clenched his fists, Yang Weiyuan closed his eyes and was silent, and even Xu Rui stopped speaking with a black face, and the atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing.

I didn't expect that the first battle I came to this world ended in a fiasco, and now it's time to think about how to save my life......

A strong sense of frustration and shame made Xu Rui uncomfortable.

In fact, after a few days of research, he already has a certain understanding of this world, especially the hundreds of miles of maps of Jingyang, if he is separated from Beiwuwei now, he is at least fifty percent sure that he will save his life.

But the strongest feeling in the world is comradeship, after this period of fighting side by side, unconsciously, he has indescribable feelings for this Northern Martial Guard.

And he could feel that Yang Weiyuan, Liu Yi and Gonggong Cao were all really caring for him, and the feeling of someone sheltering himself from the wind and rain was too wonderful and too precious, how could he leave them behind?

What's more, he has always been a person who does not admit defeat, and he is never willing to fail like this.

No, it's not time to give up, as long as the war is not over, there is still a chance to turn the tables!

Xu Rui gritted his teeth, his brain was running rapidly, and he began to sort out the information he had just gotten.

There was silence in the ancestral hall for a while, and several people wanted to speak, but they still didn't say anything when they moved their mouths.

Xu Rui was immersed in his own world, thinking seriously, and suddenly frowned and jumped up from the chair.

"Wait, you just said that it was not the Southern Dynasty Sailor who broke my Great Wei Navy, but the main force of the infantry army led by King Wuling himself?"

Xu Rui suddenly stepped to the side of the bed and asked loudly, and all eyes immediately focused on him.
