Chu Yangguan has a certain reason to think like this.

For Thunderbolt, Tongcheng has some natural geographical advantages.

Not to mention the surrounding dense forests, Qianlong County also produces stones, which are the most critical materials for thunderbolts.

If it is an important town, the stone of Qianlong County is very unfavorable to the defense of the city, and it must be dealt with in a way.

But it is a Tongcheng that can be broken by more than 10,000 people, but it doesn't matter.

Originally, it was not a difficult matter, who called Chu Yangguan just to seek speed, and did not want to alarm the Southern Chu court, so he only brought four thousand people over.

At present, although Qianlong County is far away from Tongcheng, the rest of the grain and grass can still hold on to it once and again.

So Chu Yangguan simply redid the arrangement. The army camped in the same place, and the two teams of men and horses rushed back to Dingyi in two ways, and then mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses to support. At the same time, another battalion of 500 men and horses was sent to the direction of Qianlong County to allocate stones, and the rest of the people took turns to cooperate with the craftsman battalion to cut wood on the spot.

So he waited until the evening of the same day, but the battalion that went to Qianlong County only came back with more than 30 people, and brought two pieces of news to Chuyangguan.

Good news and bad news.

The good news was that, unlike what he had seen, only a few dozen of the 500 men in this battalion had been killed in battle, and the people were still alive, but they were just rushing back.

The bad news is that, like the previous two teams, in addition to the dozens of people killed in the battle and more than 30 of them, the men and horses of this battalion have lost all their blades, armor, horses, and dry food, and the ones behind them are wearing dirty clothes.

When they went to Qianlong County, they went headlong into the camp of the mountain bandits.

He didn't even enter the county, and fell into an ambush less than five miles from Qianlong County, and he didn't even know whether there were fortifications in it, or how many people, horses, and grain and grass there were.

The halberd was almost killed in a rage here.

However, in the second half of the night, before the return of this group of profane soldiers, the two teams sent to Dingyi to deliver the letter came back first.

Chu Yangguan didn't even need to look at it, he knew that there were two teams of profane soldiers again.

The news was not sent, and everything that should have been lost was lost.

Of course, there are more than these that have been lost, as well as the face that Dingyijun has accumulated over the years.

The adjutant general was afraid that he would be in bad health, so he arranged for the medical officer to hurry to take care of him, and after tossing for a while, he finally ordered someone to cook a bowl of soothing soup for him.

A bowl of soup went down, but Chu Yangguan didn't fall asleep.

Liang Zhoujun was also famous back then, why is this so.

What did Wen Zong think, he trained such a group of soldiers who acted more than mountain bandits.

Then I felt that the Liangzhou army was probably also lost to Liangzhou, and had to fall into such a situation as a last resort. Then I thought about my current situation and my future situation, and I felt more things hurt me out of thin air.

When the sun rose and the more than 400 obscene soldiers finally returned, Chu Yangguan, who had not slept all night, had a new idea.

Judging from the behavior of this group of Liangzhou mountain bandits, they probably also want to attack the city, and they harass again and again, presumably because they are worried that Tongcheng will have more reinforcements, and it will be difficult for them to succeed.

At the same time, they must have lacked soldiers and food, and even more so no money and armor, so they did this.

It's just that they misjudged the situation of the Dingyi army.

It is difficult for this group of Liangzhou mountain bandits to be seen in Southern Chu, and it is difficult for the Dingyi Army to be seen in Southern Chu in the future. Instead of consuming each other, it is better to do things together.

He is now in a hurry, and if he comes again, if the Liangzhou mountain bandits capture Tongcheng, it will probably be much more difficult to talk to them at that time than it is now. That's more consumption.

The face is small, but the life is big. If the other party agrees, yesterday's series of small disputes can be laughed off.

In order to show his sincerity, Chuyang Guan specially ordered a commander, took a few people to Qianlong County, and asked him to report his name and have a good talk with the Liangzhou army entrenched here.

Chu Yangguan felt that this method was feasible, after all, there were still 80,000 Dingyi troops behind him, and if they refused him at this time, they would definitely suffer their own revenge in the future.

They are just trying to survive, and they don't have to kill themselves.

Sure enough, this time was different.

The few who went there, including the Commander, never returned.

Chu Yangguan was completely furious, if this fire didn't leak out, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to wait for Hui Dingyi to vomit blood and die.

He also no longer sent people to investigate, and the remaining more than 3,000 Dingyi troops went directly to Qianlong County.

Let's kill this group of Liangzhou mountain bandits who don't know the height of the sky.

In fact, if the defenders of Tongcheng were really elite soldiers, he might have turned back a long time ago. But this city is obviously not difficult to attack, and the soldiers are not in his eyes. A city where whoever comes gets it, he is unwilling and afraid that others will take the lead, so he delayed it in this life.

Even at this time, he felt that Tongcheng was weak, and he didn't pay attention to the Liangzhou army.

If they really had the ability, they should have attacked Tongcheng a long time ago.

Repeatedly using the same tricks to deal with him, it is nothing more than afraid that he will suffer a big loss in a head-on battle, and now that he has discovered the other party's location, it is what they are afraid of, and what they are going to come.

When Chuyangguan really arrived in Qianlong County, he realized that he had thought wrong.

Much stronger than the battalion that had come first, he had come only a mile away from the county.

But he was greeted by the corpse of the commander who had been sent not long ago, the archers who had already been ambushed in the mountains on either side, and the thunderbolt that he wanted to build but did not build.

There were even seven or eight of them.

Because the number of profane soldiers was too large, it was no longer possible to ask them to protect themselves, and they could not be allowed to be idle somewhere, so they could only go with the army, and the Dingyi army, which was already small, was divided into 200 people to protect them.

However, in the end, only this group survived unscathed because they fell behind the group. However, they were rushed from Tongcheng and captured by the Liangzhou army, which had been ambushed in the rear in advance.

In this group, the profane soldiers had long known that even if they went back to Dingyi County, they would become a laughing stock from now on, and they all fell down at that time. Most of the 200 guards resisted, but in the end, it was difficult to change the overall situation.

Chuyangguan led the Dingyi army to fight hard outside Qianlong County for an hour, and when they finally broke through the encirclement that the Liangzhou army had already arranged, there was almost nothing left.

The 4,000 men and horses brought by the mighty army returned with less than 300 men, which can be described as a fiasco.

I am afraid that the Dingyi Halberd will also lose its prestige again because of this war.

And just when Chuyangguan left Tongcheng and headed towards Qianlong County, Wen Gu left Qiaolou and returned to live without losing his home.

"It's too cold in the city, go get some soup cakes to warm up, so that you can sleep peacefully." Knowing that there was no suspense in the battle, the mood was quite smooth, and before he returned to the room, he went to prepare the meal first.

Unlike the rest of the city, it has not been affected by the outside of the city, and it still has a sense of tranquility like a paradise at this time.

Waiting for Wen to go straight back to the room, he pushed the door and entered, but first heard a girl's voice.

"After a long wait, you're finally back."
