On December 8, 173 A.D., the sky in the northern part of Carroll was still overcast, and the snow was falling one after another, and the northern city of Suger began to regain its former bustle in the past few days. Although the shadow of war loomed over everyone's hearts, because of the "Battle of Gorrell Plains", many people believed that with Li Yuxuan's presence, the Atbury Army would not attack Sugal.

Li Yuxuan, who has locked himself in Xiao Su in Su Mansion these days, has always refused to meet anyone, and even Li Fang and other generals have not been able to enter Xiao Su. Although most of the soldiers and civilians were convinced that one qiē and one qiē were still the same, the most core generals, such as Li Fang and Su Mi, began to realize that something was wrong.

In the morning, Li Fang and other generals were inspecting the city defense, but suddenly received an order from Li Yuxuan to convene a military meeting again, and the generals did not know what was going on, and hurried to the Su Mansion. On Xiao Su, everyone saw Li Qiu, who had not been seen for a long time.

The generals sat down around the long table at Li Yuxuan's signal, and he also sat down with the most hands.

But to the surprise of the generals, the map of the southern part of the continent on the table was missing, replaced by a topographic map depicting the terrain and mountains around the town of Wright.

Li Qiu didn't know where to conjure a wooden stick about one foot and five feet, and pointed to the topographic map in front of everyone:

"This is the topographic map of Leyte Town that we have spent nearly half a month drawing at the behest of the city lord, and I don't think even the commander of the Atterbury Army, Galiland, who is now stationed in the town, has such a detailed map in his hands. ”

Everyone craned their necks to scrutinize the topographical map of Wright Town in front of them, marveling at its intricacies but bewildered, wondering what their commander had worked so hard to get this map for.

Li Qiu glanced at Li Yuxuan, and continued his explanation with his nod.

"The town of Wright has a total of four million catties of military rations, enough to supply the Atbury army for this winter. But contrary to our expectations, the rations were not stored in or around the town of Zài, but in a ravine about ten miles from the town. ”

Li Qiu pointed the wooden stick in his hand at a point on the map, where a bag of grain was marked, which was obviously the place where the grain was stored.

After carefully observing the map along the wooden stick, all the generals were shocked. Originally, the valley where the grain was located was a long and narrow canyon surrounded by mountains, and there was only one exit. It seems that it took considerable effort for the Carol army to choose this place as a place to store grain.

Even if you enter the valley, once the enemy blocks the way out of the valley, it will definitely put the army in a situation where it cannot advance and has no way to retreat.

Then judging from the current situation, the feasibility of Li Yuxuan's original raid plan is very low.

"Are you sure there is no second way out around the canyon?"

Tang Xu asked a little unwillingly.

"No, there is absolutely no second road in the entire valley to the outside of the valley!"

Li Qiu's words were categorical, and there was no room for turnaround.

"Are there any other discoveries then?" Li Fang didn't seem to be reconciled to this result.

"On the side of the valley at the mouth of the canyon there is a small waterfall formed by the pouring of a mountain spring, and below the waterfall there is a pool of water with a radius of nearly a quarter of a mile. ”

At this moment, all the generals, you look at me, and I look at you, obviously I have no idea.

Looking at the helpless expressions of the generals under his command, Li Yuxuan could only sigh secretly.

"Okay, since you can't think of any way for the time being, let's do this first, you go back and think about it carefully, is there any other way. ”

After everyone retreated, Li Yuxuan left Li Qiu behind.

"One, pay careful attention to the movements of the Atbury army in Deno Town, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation. Second, collect as much food as possible in the city. Third, prepare a large number of ships by the Luoshui water, and as a last resort, we have to withdraw to Bahrain along the Luoshui first. By the way, the purchased grain must be secretly transported to the ship, ready to be shipped at any time. ”

After being sure that he hadn't forgotten anything, Li Yuxuan also dismissed Li Qiu, and stayed upstairs alone, staring at the topographic map in front of him, and didn't move a single inch for a long time.

It seems that this time I really have to retreat. Evacuate to Bahrain first, and join the Bai clan for a long time, and in a good case, maybe you can unite with it. And after capturing Fallen Leaf City, Fengxiang's army and the Heavenly Dragon Cavalry will cross Luoshui. The Atterbury Army, which had lost its cavalry troops, was certainly not Fengxiang's opponent and would eventually retreat to Bollinger Pass. Then before capturing Bollinger Pass, Feng Xiang's army may not have time to look west, so he still has at least a little time to look for fighters. Although this is not the best policy, it is the only way I can take in this crisis.

Suger, North Gate.

Xu Zhixin looked at the city in front of him, in just one month, he was here for the second time.

Looking back at the two hundred brothers who had been born and died with him behind him, Xu Zhixin felt that nothing longer frightened and frightened him.

But this time, Xu Zhixin obviously did not come "alone", and there was a young man riding a horse by his side, which obviously would not be the defenders of Bollinger Pass before, because there was no trace of the military temperament that a battlefield man should have on his face.

The young man was now gazing at the wall of Sugal in front of him with a look of amazement, conquered by its grandeur.

This young man is none other than Xu Ruoyu, the grandson of Xu Shouyi, who was the original guard of Bolin Pass.

This time, Xu Zhixin left Xu's manor and went out of the mountain again, most of the reason was because of the instigation of this kid.

Since returning to Xu's Manor, Xu Zhixin has always been entangled in deep self-blame, always thinking that it was his own fault, so that the old general finally died on the battlefield. After hearing that Li Yuxuan defeated the 20,000 cavalry of Atbury in the Gorrell Plains with 6,000 people, and Xu Ruoyu, a kid who was instigated all day long, Xu Zhixin decided to go out of the mountain to help Li Yuxuan retreat from the enemy, hoping to avenge the old general Xu who died on the battlefield and those brothers who died at the hands of the enemy. And Xu Ruoyu was under the banner of "avenging grandpa", pestering Xu Zhixin like a fly. With the consent of Mrs. Xu, Xu Ruoyu, who was only sixteen years old, followed Xu Zhixin to Sugel City.

The current Xu Ruoyu does not yet show a childish childlike atmosphere on his face, and he is dressed in a white shirt, and he is still a child in the eyes of others. Because he has never practiced martial arts, he is sixteen years old, his body is not fully developed, and he is obviously a head shorter than Xu Zhixin next to him. But his delicate face undoubtedly tells others that when he grows up, he will definitely be a "heartthrob" beautiful man. But now, he can only be regarded as a cute half-grown boy at best. But Shui never thought that it was this sixteen-year-old "boy" who, with his extraordinary wisdom, helped Li Yuxuan defeat the Atbury army and occupy the entire Luo Ping Plain.

Just when Xu Zhixin was thinking back to the scene half a month ago, his more than 200 cavalry troops of "unknown origin" had arrived at the north gate of Suger. Only a sound of neat footsteps was heard, and an infantry brigade of about five hundred people poured out of the city, quickly surrounding Xu Zhixin and his two hundred cavalry.
