Xiahou Yuan was quite upset about Shi Ziling's bearing, and when he introduced his own people to Shi Ziling one by one, Shi Ziling also made a brief introduction to his subordinate generals.

Li Xiaoyao turned a blind eye to everyone's strange gazes, he stood silently aside, indifferent to everything around him.

Shi Ziling hurriedly pulled Xiahou father and son aside and explained that the people of the Xiahou family were all great experts in martial arts, and when they heard that Li Xiaoyao had lost his mind when he was hit by the soul **, he was relieved, and he was even more in awe and admiration for Shi Ziling.

Since the Xiahou family only had three or four thousand troops left, and they were all exhausted, they could only hand over the responsibility of defending Black Dragon City to Shiziling's special attack division. Shi Ziling saw that the Xiahou family was indeed powerless, and did not shirk, so he immediately assigned Wei Hu and Yin Qi to lead people to the city tower to take over the defense.

Xiahou Yuan's father and son, Bai Wuya and others welcomed Shiziling into Xiahou's mansion, and several of their leaders closed the door to discuss the next countermeasures in detail.

Xiahou Feiyang asked, "I wonder how many people Brother Shi brought this time?"

Shi Ziling said: "I took a total of 50,000 elite soldiers of the Songhu Army to the northwest this time, and after successfully taking Mijing City and Yanzhao Pass, I collected another 10,000 troops, and currently has a total of about 60,000 troops. ”

"However, in order to rush to Black Dragon City as soon as possible, I only brought a special attack division of more than 15,000 people to rush directly to the camp, fortunately, this time the camp was extremely smooth, and Li Yuan was caught off guard, but we also lost hundreds of people. ”

Everyone was amazed when they heard this, and Xiahou Feiyang said: "Brother Shi led a team of more than 15,000 people to rush out of Li Yuan's camp, and also successively defeated Li Zhun and Xue Zhengyang's elite soldiers, killing and wounding about 20,000 enemies in total, while he only lost a few hundred people, which is ...... This is really incredible! People say that Brother Shi is an unborn martial arts genius, and in my opinion, Brother Shi is also a handsome talent who is not born in the world!"

Shi Ziling was a little embarrassed to be praised, and said with a smile: "It's actually quite a fluke that it can go so smoothly today, and Li Xiaoyao has played a decisive role." If he hadn't tricked Li Zhun into withdrawing the ambush on the road that was set up in the rear camp, I wouldn't even have had a chance to storm the camp, let alone arrive in time. ”

"Li Xiaoyao's smooth camp after that is also indispensable, he is the young leader of the Tongtian Sect, almost all the generals and soldiers in Li Yuan's army know him, if he does not lead the army to disturb the other party's military morale, we will never be so smooth this time. That's why I say that this victory is more about luck. ”

Xiahou and his son couldn't help but admire even more when they saw that Shi Ziling had no pride after the victory, and Xiahou Feiyang asked with concern: "I don't know what Brother Shi thinks should deal with Li Yuan next?"

Shi Ziling said without hesitation: "Since everything has gone well so far, then according to our original plan, of course, we must defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop." ”

Xiahou father and son, Bai Wuya and the others were all very excited when they heard this, but Xiahou Yuan still had some doubts in his heart, and he asked: "Li Yuan still has nearly 100,000 troops in hand, and although General Shi's special attack division is brave, it is inevitable that he will be outnumbered after all. And our Xiahou family's strength is almost exhausted, even if General Shi's follow-up troops arrive later, it seems that there is still a little insufficient in terms of total strength, right?"

Shi Ziling thought for a while and said: "After I took Yanzhao Pass, I asked Li Xiaoyao carefully, according to him, Li Yuan still had about 180,000 horses at that time, minus the 50,000 horses guarding Yanzhao Pass, there should be 130,000 troops on the front line of Black Dragon City. I don't know how much military strength they have lost in so many days?"

Xiahou Feiyang said: "When Li Yuan's army first chased to Black Dragon City, there were still more than 50,000 people left in our Xiahou family, after these days of bloody battles, although we suffered all the casualties and only a few thousand people remained, but Li Yuan's army also suffered heavy losses, and it is estimated that at least more than 30,000 people were lost. In addition, they were defeated by Brother Shi's special attack division today, and they lost about 20,000 horses, so that Li Yuan's army should still have about 80,000 people left. ”

Shi Ziling nodded and said, "I brought a total of 50,000 horses from Yanzhao Pass this time, in addition to the more than 15,000 people I rushed into the city today, there are 35,000 follow-up people who are about to arrive at the periphery of Black Dragon City." In addition, Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion also has tens of thousands of people, and we are not at a loss in terms of total strength. ”

Everyone was quite excited when they heard this, and Xiahou Feiyang said: "It's good now! Li Yuan is now under attack on his back, and he no longer has much advantage in terms of total strength, just wait for Brother Shi's follow-up men and horses and Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion to arrive, and we can counterattack in a big way!"

Shi Ziling calculated that the brigade of Wei Song and Duanmu brothers should arrive soon, but I don't know when the Narcissus Legion of Nangong Xia will arrive, if these people have arrived, then as long as everyone works together to attack, Li Yuan's army will not be able to escape the fate of defeat.

Shi Ziling smiled: "Now I am most worried about whether the follow-up troops will be ambushed when they reach the passage that must be passed ten miles from Li Yuan's rear camp, although I have reserved manpower there to inform them, but I am worried that if they rush to come to the rescue of us, they will fall into Li Yuan's trap." ”

Xiahou Feiyang said: "I know the road of Lu Road, that road is called Longma Road, it is the most direct passage to Black Dragon City, but the small slopes on both sides of the road are easy to ambush. We also set up an ambush there when we retreated from Yanzhao Pass to Black Dragon City, but unfortunately Li Yuan's pursuers were not fooled, but took a detour to avoid it, and I had no choice but to order the ambush to be withdrawn. ”

Shi Ziling said: "If what I expected is right, Li Yuan will definitely set up an ambush in Longma Road again, and it doesn't matter if my follow-up army and Nangong Xia's Narcissus Army can follow the advice of the people I left behind, if they are in a hurry, I am afraid that they will be hit hard." ”

"I've personally checked that road, and once the ambush is in place, even my special attack division may not be able to break through, I'm really a little uneasy. ”

Yu Wei hurriedly said: "What should I do then? Li Zhun was deceived and withdrawn by Li Xiaoyao in this ambush, and he will never be fooled again! If Wei Song and Duanmu brothers in the back are too anxious to listen to advice, they will definitely suffer heavy losses once they fall into the ambush." We finally saw the hope of defeating Li Yuan's army, but we must not waste our efforts!"

Shi Ziling said: "That's why I said I'm a little worried." Although Wei Song was calm, he still lacked some prestige in the army, and if the Duanmu brothers had a difference of opinion with him, he might not be able to control the overall situation. Alas, it would be nice if the team behind was led by Ma Yu. ”

Due to the internal military affairs of the Songhu Legion, although it was closely related to the current situation, Bai Wuya, Xiahou Yuan, father and son and others were still inconvenient to intervene, and everyone looked at Shi Ziling to see how he would decide.

Shi Ziling couldn't help frowning, before he led the special attack division to charge the camp this time, in order to inform Wei Song, the Duanmu brothers and Nangong Xia's men and horses to be careful, he deliberately left Leng Hu and others in Longma Road.

But now that I think about it, if the men and horses behind are too worried about the safety of their special attack division and rush to come to their rescue, they may still be ambushed. Even if they made a detour, it would be difficult to grasp whether they could launch an offensive at the same time as the special attack division of Black Dragon City, making it difficult for Li Yuan's army to take care of it.

Shi Ziling couldn't help but regret that he was still in a hurry this time, and didn't take all the arrangements into account. After thinking about it for a while, he asked Xiahou Feiyang and said, "Brother Xiahou, you are familiar with the terrain near Longma Road, in your opinion, if our follow-up troops make a detour, when will they be able to reach the back of Li Yuan's army smoothly?"

Xiahou Feiyang said: "Longma Road is the most direct passage to Black Dragon City here, if you have to take a detour, whether you go from the left road or from the right road, you have to go over the mountains and mountains, but I am afraid that you will not be able to walk down for two days." But as long as the detour is successful, there will be no more worries about the ambush in the back. ”

"Two days?"

Shi Ziling nodded and said, "I understand, that's okay, we will launch a general attack on Li Yuan's army in five days, what do you think?"

Xiahou Feiyang asked, "Why is it five days later? Brother Shi, how can your follow-up men and the Nangong Xia Narcissus Legion know that we have set the time for the general attack to be five days later?"

Shi Ziling said: "I have calculated, the follow-up men and horses of my Songhu Legion should be able to reach the vicinity of Longma Road tomorrow, and Nangong Xia's Narcissus Legion may arrive one or two days later, plus the two days it will take to bypass Longma Road, it should be reasonable for me to set the time for launching a general attack after five days." ”

Xiahou Yuan asked, "But how can we ensure that those follow-up centaurs will attack at the same time as our Black Dragon City in five days?"

Shi Ziling said: "It is not reliable to use flying pigeons to pass on such an important matter, I think I still have to send someone to inform them." First, they are afraid that Wei Song and Duanmu Xuan will be ambushed, and secondly, they must discuss with Nangong Xia and them the time and details of launching a general attack, so it is more reliable to have someone notify them, otherwise I will always be not at ease. ”

"Now that Li Yuan is in a dilemma with the enemy on his back, we finally got such an opportunity to defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop, and we must not miss the slightest. ”

Xiahou Feiyang said: "Of course, it would be good if someone could notify the follow-up reinforcements, but Li Yuan will inevitably defend strictly after being attacked by you this time, and it will be too difficult to easily break through Li Yuan's camp." ”

Shi Ziling smiled and said, "Brother Xiahou is right, so I think it's better for me to go and go by myself." ”

"You're going?"
