"Found a dead end?"

Lu Bu's lieutenant was a little puzzled and asked, "General, what do you mean by this?"

"Zhao Mao is now here with Chen soldiers, and if he doesn't attack for a long time, it is nothing more than to make a move when his army arrives here, and the troops on Shangguan Mountain are empty, attracting His Majesty to lead troops to attack. When the time comes, with the army of Tan Wenbo in Mingxi City, the front and rear attacks will be enough to make His Majesty's army pay a heavy price!"

Lu Bu sneered and said, "His idea is good, it happens to hinder Guo Jia's plan partly, but unfortunately, if Tan Wenbo has an army of 1.5 million in Mingxi City, it will indeed be able to make His Majesty's side feel the crisis." ”

"Now Tan Wenbo divides hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy other cities in Chi County, and there are less than a million troops in Mingxi City, if he doesn't leave Mingxi City, maybe there will be some chance, as long as he leaves Mingxi City, Ran Min and Huo Quai's 150,000 iron cavalry will be able to make them pay a heavy price. ”

"Then general, what should we do now?" The adjutant general's face was a little worried, and he said: "We only have more than 20,000 iron cavalry left under our hands now, and if the enemy army attacks the city, it will be difficult to defend it." ”

"Don't worry, the enemy army will obediently withdraw on its own!" Lu Bu chuckled.

"This ......"

The adjutant general looked at Lu Bu incomprehensibly, knowing exactly what Lu Bu meant by this.

Lu Bu just smiled faintly and didn't answer.

......

In Zhao Mao's military camp, he was sitting in the military tent with his generals at this time, talking and laughing.

"General, as long as Lu Feng dares to send troops at Hukou Pass, he will die, and when the overall situation is decided, we will be able to take Hukou Pass and march to other places in the Thirteen Counties of Ziyang. One of the generals laughed.

"That's right, the enemy army would definitely not have imagined that the general would arrange it like this, and they will definitely march at the first time! ”

"Well said!"

Zhao Mao was also full of smiles, he was very satisfied with his plan this time, and said with a smile: "We just need to wait here, as long as Lu Feng's army on the side of Shangguan Mountain starts to attack Shangguan Mountain, we must attack Linghong City in the first time, and there must be no more hesitation!"

"The last general obeys!" said his generals in unison.

"Good!"

Nodding, Zhao Mao said: "This matter, it depends on the monarchs, as long as we take the thirteen counties of Ziyang, we will be the great heroes of the kingdom and the great heroes of the sect, and I will personally ...... for you when the time comes."

"Newspaper, General, urgent letter from Seuiseong. ”

Before Zhao Mao's words were finished, a soldier outside the door hurriedly ran in.

"Seiyi City?"

Zhao Mao frowned slightly, and said, "Xiyi City is in the rear, what can I do?" ”

The soldier hurriedly handed the letter to Zhao Mao.

When Zhao Mao saw the contents of the letter, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "How is this possible!"

"General, what's wrong?"

All the generals in the military tent looked at Zhao Mao suspiciously, wondering why the general who was talking and laughing just now looked panicked.

"West...... Xiyi City has been captured by the enemy!" Zhao Mao muttered dumbfounded.

In his words, he couldn't believe it, and he was stunned.

Xiyi City, the heavy grain and grass in the rear of the army, was captured by the enemy?

The intelligence system of the Jinshui Kingdom is good, but the 100,000 troops outside Xiyi City are the army of the Bailan Kingdom, and the transmission of news is more than a little slower than that of Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei's news yesterday, they only delivered it to Zhao Mao today.

"What? Seiyi Castle has been captured?"

"How is this possible!"

"Xiyi City is the rear of our army, except for Guhe City and Chihe City, there is no road from Chijun to Xiyi City, how can there be an enemy army that has captured our rear?"

"That's right, it's absolutely impossible!"

"Even if the enemy army walks from the Soul Path, and the Bailan Kingdom arranges a hundred thousand troops there to guard it, and the enemy army can't fly over even if it has wings, how can Xiyi City be captured?"

The generals under Zhao Mao said one by one.

Their words are different, but one thing is the same.

They all started panicking, restlessness, worry, and even fear.

Xiyi City is not only the rear of their army, but also the only way for their army to withdraw to the Bailan Kingdom.

Other than that, there is no road from Chijun to the Bailan Kingdom.

The loss of Xiyi City means that they have no way back.

Zhao Mao was also very panicked in his heart, as the general of the Jinshui Kingdom in this battle, his ability to perceive the overall situation was not weak, and he understood very well what the loss of Xiyi City meant to their army.

Moreover......

Zhao Mao also thought of a very terrifying possibility in his heart.

Xiyi City is in the rear of the battlefield, and Lu Feng arranged for people to go there, the purpose is definitely not just to want a city, but also to block the only way for his army to retreat.

The biggest possibility is that Lu Feng wants to block all the more than one million Jinshui Kingdom army and Bailan Kingdom army under his command in Chi County, or even die completely in battle.

Because Xiyi City was occupied, he had no way back, no food and grass behind, and he couldn't retreat at all.

Once it is really as he thinks, then this consequence, Zhao Mao shuddered when he thought about it.

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Mao said in a deep voice: "This letter is the handwriting of the main general of the Bailan Kingdom outside Xiyi City, there will be no mistake, Xiyi City is lost." ”

"This ......"

"How is this possible!"

A general looked at Zhao Mao and said, "General, from Chi County, no, even the entire Thirteen Counties of Ziyang, the only place bordering the Bailan Kingdom is Guhe City and Xiyi City, now that the road has been completely blocked by us, how can the enemy army be able to occupy Xiyi City?"

"How did their army of soldiers get through? It's simply not possible!"

"That's right, General, can't there really be anything wrong with this news?"

"This ......"

Hearing the words of the general under his command, Zhao Mao's expression was also a little hesitant.

Like the thoughts of these generals, Zhao Mao also knew very well that this possibility was really too small.

Chi County is now occupied by them on all fronts, the roads are blocked, and there are also 100,000 troops stationed at the exit of the Soul Path, how can anyone be able to run to Xiyi City and occupy Xiyi City.

Moreover, the 100,000 troops of the Bailan Kingdom outside the washing city did not dare to snatch it back, and they also sent troops to ask for help, and the soldiers who occupied Xiyi City were at least more than 50,000.

"Newspaper, General, the intelligence officers of the kingdom are in a hurry. ”

At this moment, another soldier ran in.

Zhao Mao had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly went over to get the letter, and when he saw the content on it, he immediately smiled bitterly, and said: "That's right, our intelligence officers have also got the exact news, Xiyi City is lost!"

"This ......"

The generals under Zhao Mao's command, you look at me, I look at you, and his expression is no longer a little frightened before, but has become a complete fear.
