The inn booked by Pegasus Ranch is only one street away from Jiaxianglou, and Shang Xiuxun went back to his room on the third floor after returning to the inn.

Long Tao followed her and pushed the door in.

Shang Xiuxun sat at the table, glanced at him again, turned his head to look to the side, and asked, "Why didn't you leave without saying a word?" Why, do you dare to come to see me again now? ”

Long Tao sat down opposite her, looked at her beautiful face that had returned to her original appearance, and said with a smile: "Isn't Xiuxun angry with me?" ”

"If I was angry with you, I would have kicked you out a long time ago." Shang Xiuxun glared at him fiercely, and then his face turned red again, obviously remembering the reason why he was "angry with him".

Seeing that Long Tao was looking at her with a wicked smile, Shang Xiuxun puffed out his mouth and said, "What are you laughing at!" Anyway, you are not allowed to mention that incident in the future! ”

Long Tao hurriedly put away his smile and kept nodding.

Shang Xiuxun saw that he looked honest, and sneered again: "Tell me, where have you been these days?" How did it suddenly appear here? ”

Long Tao said in a deep voice: "I came to Xiangyang from Jingling, here is to wait for Xiuxun, the siege of Jingling is a conspiracy against the ranch, if Xiuxun is willing to listen to my arrangement, I will not only break Du Fuwei's tricks, but also let the ranch no longer have to worry about the threat of the Jianghuai Army in a few years!" ”

Shang Xiuxun was immediately moved.

Pegasus Ranch itself is an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack military fortress, its influence spreads to several nearby towns, and it is rich in war horses, in the eyes of several major hegemonic forces, it is a big piece of fat, otherwise Li Mi would not have come to install traitors to deal with the ranch across thousands of mountains and rivers.

But the most direct threat to the ranch is the Jianghuai army of the Four Great Kou and Du Fuwei, and the rest of the forces are too far away to reach even if they are red-eyed.

Now that the Four Great Kou have been destroyed, the biggest threat to the ranch is Du Fuwei.

After Shang Xiuxun and Long Tao discussed for a full hour, he decisively led his men back to the ranch.

When Kou Xu and the others heard that they were going to deal with Du Fuwei, they remembered that Lao Du had let them go in Danyang that day, so they decided not to participate, but continued to go north to Luoyang.

Long Tao took the opportunity to tell Kou Zhong about Li Mi's plan to attack Luoyang and how to deal with Wang Shichong, and explained to the two that he had eavesdropped on Qian Duguan, but in fact of course this was not the case, he was just retelling Li Mi's plan in the original plot.

Because he injured Bai Fenghan after all, and in the original plot, Kou Xu and Bai Fenghan overheard Li Mi's plan in Xiangyang, which was likely to be affected, just in case, Long Tao had to leak it to them in advance, lest Kou Zhong, the kid, would not deal with Li Mi after arriving in Luoyang.

Because of Su Su, Zhai Jiao, "Pushan Public Order", etc., the two and Li Mi have become mortal enemies, and now that they know that there is a chance for him to lose the battle, the two are naturally very happy and go north happily.

After sending the two away, Long Tao immediately rushed back to Pegasus Ranch.

At dusk that day, Long Tao led a thousand Divine Sword Janissaries and eight thousand high-grade war horses to leave the pasture and head east.

On the surface, they seemed to be preparing to send the war horse back to Jiangyin, but in fact, they secretly came to a hidden mountain forest in the west of Anlu.

The Eight Thousand Divine Sword Army led by Zhao Xingshu had already arrived there on the Giant Kun Gang warship, and as soon as the war horse came, it immediately turned into eight thousand light horsemen.

The two sides had a total of 9,000 cavalry, and Long Tao personally commanded them, and cautiously dived back to the west.

In the early morning of the next day, Shang Xiuxun led an army of 20,000 ranches to Jingling.

In order to wait for Long Tao's 9,000 cavalry, the army deliberately marched slowly, and the soldiers all looked tired, which was naturally done for Du Fuwei to see, making him think that the ranch army had lost its strength because of dealing with the four great Kou, and had become a tired army at this moment.

Two days later, the ranch army rested at the foot of a mountain, and at night, the Jianghuai army really came to attack.

Du Fuwei thought that Long Tao's divine sword army had withdrawn, and his eyes were all focused on Shang Xiuxun's ranch army, unaware that another 9,000-strong strange army was eyeing him, and Long Tao's spiritual sense that could easily envelop a radius of 100 miles could be said to be well aware of the movements of the Jianghuai army.

All this determined the fate of Du Fuwei, when he personally led 20,000 Jianghuai elites to kill, waiting for them were all kinds of secret traps, as well as 20,000 ranch soldiers who were recuperating and waiting for them.

Long Tao's nine thousand elite horsemen also came from behind at the right time.

The Jianghuai army was attacked by the enemy on the back of the abdomen, and soon collapsed, and the ranch soldiers and the Shendao army chased and killed the rout all the way, killing more than 15,000 enemies.

Du Fuwei led 70,000 troops to besiege Jingling this time, and all 20,000 of them were brought to ambush the army of Pegasus Ranch, and the 20,000 elites were almost wiped out, which can be described as a heavy loss!

Long Tao ordered Zhao Xingshu to take 9,000 light cavalry and Shang Xiuxun to join forces and rush to Jingling, while he felt the Han River, rendezvous with Bu Tianzhi, and led 30 flywheel warships to Jingling from the waterway.

After the failure of Du Fuwei's ambush, he immediately ordered the army surrounding Jingling to attack the city, hoping to take Jingling before the reinforcements from the pasture arrived, and resist the city.

This is the most correct choice in terms of strategy, but the troops besieging the city are not the elite of the Jianghuai army, and the interior of the tomb is not completely chaotic because of Xuan Xingzhi and Feng Ge, and the defenders on the city wall can still resist the waves of Jianghuai army's attacks in an organized manner.

When Long Tao arrived from the waterway, the offensive and defensive battles were in full swing.

The flywheel warships broke through the waterway blockade of the Jianghuai Army with great momentum, and fired rockets all the way, sinking more than 20 enemy ships and reaching the wharf outside the west gate of Jingling.

Du Fuwei set up some defenses on both sides of the dock, and Long Tao led the masters of the Giant Kun Gang to fly off the ship and kill them.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the dock was finally controlled, and the soldiers landed ashore, lined up in formation, and attacked the siege troops of the Jianghuai Army from the side.

The Jianghuai army sent a team of 3,000 people forward to intercept it, and the offensive outside the west gate suddenly slowed down.

The defenders of the city knew that reinforcements were coming, and they shouted loudly, and their morale was greatly boosted.

At this moment, a graceful white figure appeared at the head of the city, and the ghost generally shuttled quickly among the defenders, and everywhere they went, people turned on their horses, and a guard was killed with every shot.

Long Tao knew that Wan Wan wanted to kill the defender generals, hoping to cause chaos and give the Jianghuai army a chance to enter the city.

He was afraid that the others would make a mistake, so he immediately ordered Bu Tianzhi to lead the army to continue to advance, and then took off into the air, swept on a nest car of the Jianghuai army to attack the city, and then swept across the air to the city, laughed, and rushed straight to Wan Wan.

Seeing that he was menacing, Wan Wan knew that she had encountered a strong enemy, so she rose up, and the two sleeves of the Heavenly Demon Belt floated out, drawing a trajectory that could not change in any way, and she swam towards Long Tao like a dragon.

Long Tao waved his broadsword, and the pitch-black blade and the white streamer struck in the air, overflowing with energy.

"Haha...... The beauty really lives up to its reputation! ”

The sound of earth-shattering hooves sounded outside the west gate, and the army of Shang Xiuxun and Zhao Xingshu finally arrived.
