After repelling Lu Yun's vanguard troops, on the vast prairie, Shen Haobin's soldiers and horses and Xue Ping's soldiers and horses met, everyone was surrounded by green grass, and from a distance, these soldiers were neatly arranged and fused with the grassland.

"Major General, we have won, we have really almost annihilated the enemy's vanguard. Xue Ping couldn't help the excitement in his heart and said happily.

Shen Haobin didn't have any joy on his face.

"Although we won a small victory in this war, within a day, Phantom Ren will gather all six troops and launch a general attack. ”

"What should I do then? Or do you use this method to stop the enemy from attacking?" Xue Ping asked.

Shen Haobin shook his head.

"The reason why we were able to win easily without casualties was that all kinds of signs confused the enemy, plus the illusion of using soldiers and gods, they were all lightly armed, and we had to take advantage of the victory to pursue and fight again. ”

"How to fight?" The excitement on Xue Ping's face continued unabated, and he felt admiration for this young general.

"Lu Yun has now taken the remnants of the defeated army, and has joined forces with the second enemy army, the leader of the second army of the enemy army, Wang Han, he is cautious and will not attack immediately, so we will attack him. ”

"Okay, why don't you let General Dong send more manpower. Xue Ping asked.

Shen Haobin smiled.

"No, clean up the battlefield immediately, retrieve all the bows and arrows, and prepare to fight again. ”

In a garden of the mansion of Xuncheng Dongcheng Mansion, Liu Zhengyu and Cao Guowei sat in the courtyard, and Cao Guowei said: "How about it, Shen Haobin defeated the vanguard of the Phantom Ren army. ”

Liu Zhengyu let out a long breath.

"This kid has the demeanor of Shen Feitian back then, but Phantom Ren's cultivation is high now, I'm afraid it will anger him, and he can break through this Xun City with only one strength. ”

Cao Guowei sighed, knowing what Liu Zhengyu meant, what he said was true, now Huanren's cultivation can be described as invincible in the Holy Warring States, even if tens of thousands of people surround him alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, in terms of the situation, the Holy Warring States is now just doing another dying struggle, and it is just around the corner for Huanren to obtain the whole world, but for the sake of the foundation of 10,000 years, for the sake of the people's livelihood, the military soul of the Liu family army is still there.

"Everything is not so absolute, and the two of us, half-old men, can only watch the juniors turn the tide. ”

Liu Zhengyu took a deep breath, he hated his slow breakthrough in cultivation, he hated that the Holy Warring States was facing such a crisis, but he had nothing to do, he looked up at the sky.

"It looks like there's going to be another bloody storm here. ”

On the way to the march of Phantom Ren, the herald came to report.

"The Phantom King, General Lu Yun's department, was ambushed in the prairie and almost wiped out the entire army. ”

"Where is General Lu Yun now?" asked Phantom Ren sharply.

"Now take the remnants and turn with General Wang Han's troops. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Huanren's mouth, he couldn't imagine that the declining Holy Warring States would really dare to fight a decisive battle with his army in the prairie in front of Xuncheng, it would undoubtedly be a suicide for him, but what he didn't understand was how the enemy could win, as long as Lu Yun could hold on to the endless grassland for an hour, reinforcements would arrive.

"How did he lose so badly. ”

"It is reported that the enemy is hiding in the deep grass and shooting our soldiers from a long distance with bows and arrows. ”

"The young man knows that he is hiding in the shadows, and he orders Wang Han's troops to stay put, and all the troops will speed up their march, and they will meet before dawn tomorrow, and I will wash the entire Xuncheng with blood. ”

"Yes. ”

However, all this was expected by Shen Haobin, at this time, he had already taken three thousand sergeants, bypassed Sheng Hongling's Wang Han Division, set up an ambush in Hukouya, opened the tiger's mouth, and waited for the third force of Huanren to enter Hukouya.

The tiger's mouth is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with cliffs on all sides, and the front opens its mouth like a tiger, but the more you go to the back, the narrower it becomes, and the narrowest place can only accommodate three people walking side by side at the same time.

Anyone who leads the troops to fight will be cautious when encountering such a natural danger, but because Lu Yun and Wang Han's troops in front have passed safely, coupled with the order of the Phantom King's rapid march, the third force entered the tiger's mouth at all when it was dark.

Tonight the stars are brilliant, the sky is full of stars, a breeze blows across Shen Haobin's cheeks, and the summer night makes people feel a little cool.

Shen Haobin looked up at the starlight and took a deep breath, knowing that after this battle, even if he won a small victory again, Xuncheng would be hit by a big impact, and maybe the entire Beicheng District would be captured, but he was self-aware, and strength in many things was king.

In the first battle of Hukouya, Shen Haobin relied on natural danger, and only used 3,000 people to shoot and kill 7,000 people on the enemy's side, but Huanren's army was not a coward, plus Wang Han led the army back to defense, Qi Yao's fourth army arrived, wounded 800 enemies and lost 1,000, Shen Haobin was seriously injured, quickly retreated, and went back with only a few dozen sergeants left.

This battle once again reflected the courage and skill of the Liu family's army, and the unswerving military spirit did not flinch in front of the powerful enemy.

Shen Haobin turned back to Shenghongling with the support of the soldiers, all of this was as he expected, Wang Han was sure to lead the army back to defense, at this time, Xue Ping once again led people to set up an ambush in Shenghongling.

"Young General, how are your injuries?" Seeing Shen Haobin coming, Xue Ping hurriedly stepped forward.

Shen Haobin looked up and smiled, looking at the shining starlight.

"Can't die. ”

"How's it going?"

"We won, but we also lost, we lost, and we lost, but we also won. ”

Xue Ping scratched his head, didn't understand what the young general meant, and then said: "Young General, you are injured, leave it to me here, you go back to Fire City to recuperate first." ”

Shen Haobin nodded.

"Although we can win a small victory, but the strength is not as good as the other party, you set up an ambush here, the purpose is to destroy the enemy's living force to the greatest extent, block the pace of the enemy's attack, and buy time for me to lay out in Huocheng and Xuncheng. ”

After Shen Haobin returned to Huocheng, although he was injured, he did not rest at all, wrote a letter to Cao Guowei, and left 20,000 troops in Xuncheng, and asked General Dong Yu to rush to Huocheng with 10,000 troops, and asked the soldiers to cut down the grass on the grassland overnight.

Everything went in an orderly manner, and in the dark of night, Cao Guowei knocked on Liu Zhengyu's door.

"Brother Cao, coming here so late, is there a reversal in the war?" Liu Zhengyu was stunned for a moment, and then motioned for Cao Guowei to enter his room.

"At the beginning, including 6 Zhiqiu, they all thought that Shen Haobin was going to set up an ambush in Hukouya and Shenghongling to drag the enemy to the greatest extent, but Shen Haobin did not do so, but even we didn't expect that he would take 3,000 people, bypass the defense line and set up an ambush at Hukouya, and once again defeated the enemy. ”

"Illness is also a trick, but the truth is fiction and fiction is real, Shen Haobin did it. Liu Zhengyu nodded.

However, Shen Haobin said in his book that the great cause of the country could not care about the gains and losses of the city, because of avoiding its edge, in the case of successive battles, winning more with less, and fighting stronger with weak, he suggested giving up the entire Beicheng District. ”

Liu Zhengyu let out a long breath, agreeing with Shen Haobin's opinion in his heart, but knowing that the other party must have other backs, he asked in a deep voice: "Reason?"

"He said that after these battles, he will definitely anger Phantom Ren, and Phantom Ren will give it a go, if I defend the city with all my might, my living force will be exhausted, so it is better to evacuate all. ”

"How to withdraw?"

"Hu Aolin escorted the people to the 20,000 soldiers and horses in Dongcheng District, don't pay a return visit, and fortify the border between Beicheng District and Dongcheng District with Xingxiao, Beicheng District can be lost, but Dongcheng District can't, there are tens of millions of our people there. ”

Liu Zhengyu nodded, and Cao Guowei continued: "The 40,000 soldiers and horses I gave him at the beginning, now he only takes 20,000, and the rest of the men and horses and all the soldiers and horses in the Beicheng District, including Fuping City, around Xuncheng, have all withdrawn to Heping Mountain, and joined forces with 6 Zhiqiu to preserve their vitality." ”

"What do you think?" asked Liu Zhengyu.

"Now that the battle situation is in a mess, I don't know whether to fight to the death with Phantom Ren in Xuncheng, or follow Shen Haobin's advice. ”

Liu Zhengyu took a deep breath.

"Then what is Shen Haobin going to do?"

"I didn't say it, I just said that I would lead the troops to save Liu Yuchen. ”

"Save Liu Yuchen?" Liu Zhengyu was stunned, he couldn't think of how Shen Haobin would lay it out, he pondered for a moment.

"Brother Cao, according to Shen Haobin's meaning, immediately ordered the men and horses of all cities in Beicheng District to retreat to Heping Mountain. ”

Shen Haobin stood on top of the Huocheng Tower, looking at the Xuncheng from afar, rows of torches moved towards Heping Mountain overnight, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which proved that Prime Minister Cao Cheng took his suggestion and gave up Beicheng District.

However, at this time, the war on Shenghongling was fought again, and the three armies of Wang Han and Qi Yao were combined into one, but they did not expect to encounter Xue Ping's ambush when they turned back to Shenghongling.

The war was tragic, and the Liu army did not retreat, although it occupied a favorable position, but after all, the enemy was numerous, and when all the Huanren army arrived, Xue Ping only had more than 100 soldiers left, and he still did not choose to retreat, and started the last round of attacks.

The result was a tragic end to the annihilation of the entire army, but Xue Ping successfully blocked the enemy's march and killed 5,000 enemy soldiers.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Huanren held nine swords in his hand, stepped on the corpse of the Liu family, and walked to the front of the three armies, 60,000 people, after fighting with Shen Haobin several times, they lost nearly 20,000 people, how could this not make him angry.

"Phantom King, what to do now. Qi Yao stepped forward and asked.

Phantom Ren sneered.

"These young people are still dying, and if they want to destroy my power, I will make them pay a terrible price, immediately send orders to the three armies, prepare the chariots, and I will personally lead the troops to conquer, give me a passage through the prairie, and wash the Beicheng Mansion in blood. ”

"Yes. The whole army replied in unison.

An army of more than 40,000 people, under the leadership of Huanren's first soldiers, marched through the vast prairie with heavy weapons, but on the way, they were not ambushed.
