Zhuo's uncharacteristically posed to fight with Xiao Yu in Qingyuan Mountain, Xiao Yu stood on the tower of Luling City and looked at the Zhuo's soldiers and horses in Qingyuan Mountain, his face was as gray as the bottom of the pot, from the first batch of news, less than three days of kung fu lost two cities, the battle of Xingli was already a joke, less than 30,000 soldiers and horses came back from 60,000 troops, and the soldiers and horses along the way in Lizhou were almost lost, and the only thing that saved face was the 20,000 horses that Gan Ming withdrew.

The generals of the Qilin Army on the city tower are all like ashes, there are only 50,000 people in Luling City now, and it will take time for the rest of the soldiers and horses to be transferred, and the Zhuo clan does not seem to plan to give the Qilin Army a chance to react.

"Yu Qingwu, Teng Han, this king has prepared 10,000 people for each of you, and wrap them up for me along the left and right flanks of Qingyuan Mountain!" Xiao Yu restrained himself from giving orders to keep himself sober, Xiao Cong and Wang Zongqing had been abolished, at least they could not play a role in this battle of Xingli.

"The last general commands!" The two are not ambiguous, this is not the time to be hypocritical, of course, it is also the time to prove themselves.

"Xiao Ze and Xiao Zhan follow me out of the city, I want to see what kind of character is on the other side!" Xiao Yu was arrogant.

"The prince can't!" Zhang Jin and Duanmu Yang stepped forward almost at the same time to dissuade them.

"Everyone, now the morale is low, only I, Xiao Yu, can save the morale by going out in person, you don't need to say it, it is your business to guard Luling City!" After saying that, he was about to go downstairs, when Xiao Yu suddenly stopped and said softly: "General Gan still has the strength to fight!" ”

The man in white filial piety clothes who had been staying in the corner stood up and said in a calm voice: "Thanks to the prince's refusal to give up, Gan Ming is willing to fight, avenge his father, and avenge the unicorn!" Gan Ming's voice gradually rose, and it sounded like a tragic aura.

Xiao Yu's army gathered on the white heron beach on the west bank of the gorge and looked at the Zhuo army camped in the middle of the Qingyuan Mountain.

"Lord Wang, it is not good for us to cross the river and camp, and the last general thinks that Bailutan is more suitable for us to camp." Gan Ming said cautiously.

Xiao Yu shook his head and refused: "No! Bailutan is too far away from Luling City, if the Zhuo clan rushes to kill Luling, we will not be able to take care of it. ”

"Lord Wang, there is no danger to defend on the other side, if our army is attacked by a sneak attack, there will be chaos in Bailutan, there is a natural danger in the gorge River, you can attack and retreat, please think twice!" Gan Ming insisted on his suggestion without any fear.

Xiao Yu turned his head and stared at Gan Ming, Gan Ming didn't have any dodge and evasion, straightened his body without any fear.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu's sharp eyes softened, and said, "I'll give you 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison in Bailutan, and the main force of the army will be horns for each other." ”

"Lord Wang!" Gan Ming also wanted to advise.

Xiao Yu raised his hand to stop it, and said calmly: "I know General Gan's kindness, but Luling is the root of my Qilin, and it will take at least two days for the soldiers and horses of Xianghu to arrive, and we will have a chance to counterattack as long as we protect Luling in these two days." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yu insisted so insistently, Gan Ming didn't say much, so he had to take the order and leave, thinking in his heart how to remedy it if something happened.

Xiao Yu didn't know the danger of camping on the east bank, but if he gave up the east bank, it would be tantamount to exposing Luling to the Zhuo army.

In the Zhuo camp on the mountainside, Zhuo Dingfeng looked at the breath hidden in the chest of the busy Xiao Yu army under the mountain, and the Zhuo family has been at a disadvantage since the loss of Xianghu Lake, and the head of the family had to compromise with the imperial court to offer Yanhai, the only state by the sea, to compromise for help, reluctant to let the child can't trap the wolf, the imperial court is still trustworthy, Fan Lihu, the head of the state march, personally laid out, and finally surrounded Luling before this year.

"Mr. Zhuo, don't worry, since it's already surrounded, you can't let them run, news is coming from Luling City, Xiao Yu himself has led the army out, this is to send us his life." Fan Zhenshi burped and picked his teeth and walked to Zhuo Dingfeng's side.

A sour breath almost didn't smoke Zhuo Dingfeng, and he held his breath and tried to say with a smile: "The general is mighty, but the old man thinks that he can take Luling as soon as possible, otherwise he will not be powerless!" ”

"Mr. Zhuo, Xiao Yu is already in the bag, I want to wait for him to eat about 20,000 people and slowly force him to death." Fan Zhenshi looked disdainful.

Zhuo Dingfeng knew that the relationship between him and Fan Zhenshi was that of Xiucai and Bing, and now he had to rely on him, so he had to go against his will: "What happened before the army, but according to the general's orders, the old man Meng Lang is also anxious, and please ask the general not to blame." ”

A slap slapped on Zhuo Dingfeng's dry and thin body, shocking Zhuo Dingfeng directly backwards a few steps, Fan Zhenshi was a little embarrassed when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuo is a great talent, this kind of rude thing in front of the army is still left to us to do, the second brother is stationed in Yanhai, and it will be there tomorrow, and then let you see the scene of me capturing Xiao Yu alive, isn't it good?" ”

Capturing Xiao Yu alive is of course very happy, but Xiao Yu is not a caged bird, if you don't solve it quickly, I'm afraid there will be variables, and I have already sent out a rock sea and can't take down Luling, the millennium Zhuo clan is going to be ruined, some time ago, the Gu clan sent people to negotiate the alliance, and it had already been negotiated, who knew that when it came to the contract, Yuan Changli crossed a bar and reached an agreement with the Gu clan in advance, and the Zhuo clan regretted it, and there was no way to compromise with the court for help.

"Then wait for the chief steward to come and capture Xiao Yu and dedicate it to His Majesty to deter the rebels." Zhuo Dingfeng helplessly accompanied the smiling face.

The two sides were deadlocked for a day, the harassment on both sides of the Qilin army had already played a role, the two sides of the Zhuo army had increased their defenses, forming a confrontation, Xiao Yu's heart was relieved, it seems that Yu Qingwu and Teng Han are available, now all the places where the battle may occur are only here, Xiao Yu thinks that even if the battle starts now, it will be no problem until the reinforcements from Xianghu come over.

"Xiao Ze, did Nan Ya come with a letter?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked, he had been staring at the other side for the past two days, but he had forgotten about the situation on Wen Jun's side.

"Nan Ya has just sent news from the other side, and it is said that Commander Wen has lost a lot of information that he has only exchanged for good hands." A sunny young man said, this is the person of the Xiao family in the five states of Nanning, named Xiao Ze, the family is not treated by Chongqi, the family moved to Chencheng, Xiao Huli selected Xiao Ze and Xiao Zhan to enrich the Qilin army.

"What did you say? Where did Xiao Zhan go? This is where the battlefield is not child's play. Xiao Yu mentioned that Xiao Zhan had a lot of complaints, the child is a smart child, but he doesn't like to talk, he is introverted, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"Xiao Zhan went to the forward camp early in the morning, and he said that if something happens, the forward camp is the key," Xiao Ze said while glancing at Xiao Yu, seeing that Xiao Yu showed no signs of anger, he continued: "Nan Ya has found out that the Zhuo clan has exchanged Yanhaizhou for the support of Fan Lihu in Chuzhou, and now the commander of the Zhuo clan is Fan Lihu's eldest brother Fan Zhenshi. ”

"Iwakai? Fan Zhenshi? Zhuo's family also made a lot of money, and Yanhai is the only state capital connected to the sea on the right side of the river; Fan Lihu is also willing, this Fan Zhenshi is the best at light cavalry and is Fan Lihu's most important general. Xiao Yu seemed to have figured out something, and then said: "Xiao Ze, you go to Bailutan to find General Gan and tell him that the flanks on both sides have been contained, and it is Fan Zhenshi who commands the troops, so don't prevent his sneak attack." ”

In the evening, the reflection of the remnant sun in the Xiajiang River seemed to be covered with a layer of blood, Xiao Yu was in no mood to eat, his heart was constantly jumping, a bad premonition lingered, this Xu Yu was also standing beside Xiao Yu with a sad face, with many years of assassin career, he was also very uneasy, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, the sound of bangzi came from the mountain, this is the horn of the attack, Xiao Yu's heart tightened, Fan Zhenshi was about to start a raid, fortunately he was prepared, and was about to arrange to meet the enemy, when the arrows were overwhelming from the upstream direction, suddenly the camp was on fire, the sound of wailing was all over the army, the people in the camp turned on their backs, fled in all directions, Xiao Yu was stunned, where did this person come from, the left and right wings were restrained, how could there be anyone on the water? Xu Yu reacted first, pulled Xiao Yu up, casually led two horses to push Xiao Yu up first, looked at Xiao Yu was still stunned, and shouted loudly: "Retreat!" If you don't withdraw, it's all over! "Xu Yu doesn't want the person who just defected to throw his life here.

Xiao Yu came to his senses, grabbed the reins, and said, "Xu Yu! Forward battalion! ”

"Everyone has called, what kind of forward battalion does it matter, withdraw to the west bank first, there are still 5,000 soldiers and horses there!" Xu Yu is decisive at this time, it is the most important thing for both sides to fight together to escape, and the soldiers from the upper reaches of the Jiang River can't run away, there are still 5,000 people on the west bank, who can resist for a while, as long as Xiao Yu is sent back to Luling City, there will be a chance to turn the tables.

Xu Yu and the Qilin Guards escorted Xiao Yu all the way to the shore, only to hear an earth-shattering shout from behind: "The one in the purple robe is Xiao Yu!" Catch Xiao Yu's bounty of a thousand taels! ”

This shout made all the people who were fighting look for Xiao Yu's figure, and after recognizing it clearly, everyone rushed to Xiao Yu, Xu Yu quickly took off Xiao Yu's robe without saying a word, threw it elsewhere, and continued to flee to the shore.

As soon as he reached the shore, the damn voice sounded again, "Xiao Yu is getting on the boat!" Don't let him run! ”

Good guy, the direction in which Xiao Yu was preparing to board the ship was like a rain of arrows, almost no one was spared, Xiao Yu was hit by an arrow in his left arm, fortunately Xu Yu protected well, and Xu Yu was not much better, the whole back was tattooed like a hedgehog, and he was wearing heavy armor, which was only a flesh injury.

The boat couldn't get on, Xu Yu covered Xiao Yu's movement to the right flank, thinking that it would be good to go to Teng Han to join up, and then it would be good to escape back to Xianghu.

At this time, Xiao Ze and Xiao Zhan didn't know where they came out, but seeing that the two of them had arrows stuck in their bodies and their faces were covered with blood, they must have escaped with great difficulty.

Everyone fled all the way to Phoenix Beach and was embarrassed, there were less than 300 people around him, Xu Yu sat down on the war horse after all, after all, he fell due to physical exhaustion and excessive injury, Xiao Yu's heart was like ashes at the moment, what kind of battle is this, 15,000 men and horses, say no, it's gone, now the chasing soldiers behind are biting to death, and the people around him are injured, miserable, it seems that God wants to accept him, so his heart is horizontal, pick up the sword and want to kill himself, Xiao Ze stepped forward to stop him, crying: "Lord! No! It's not at the end of the day! There are still soldiers and horses in Luling City, and the left and right wings are still there, we must fight hard to keep you safe! ”

Xiao Zhan didn't speak, silently wrapped his belt handle with the hilt of the sword, this is a battle to the death, and the Qilin guards around him also learned from Xiao Zhan's practice, Xu Yu gritted his teeth and took off his heavy armor with difficulty, the blood behind his back was already soaked in his clothes, and he said with a cloak: "King of the county, we still have big things to do, you can't die!" ”

The roar of the war horse behind him was getting closer and closer, and everyone stopped talking, Xiao Yu looked desperately at the direction where the voice came from, fighting to the death, and the horse leather shroud was also a destination.

"Lord Wang! Gan Ming is here! A delightful voice came from the river.
