With the pursuit of this wave of cavalry, Fan Changsheng's figure was soon found about fifty miles away from Yichang City.

They protected Li Xiong's retreat, one by one embarrassed like a broken Buddha in an ancient temple, and everyone just ran away with their heads bored. Where is there still a little fighting spirit.

Seeing this group of people, Wang Xuance, who was injured in his back and humming and chirping all the way and constantly diverted his attention, suddenly came to the fighting spirit.

With a sigh, he held his hook and sickle aloft, and rushed towards Fan Changsheng's headquarters.

While rushing, Wang Xuance also shouted loudly: "Traitor! Run there! ”

Fan Changsheng was startled when he heard the movement, and when he turned around, he saw that Wang Xuance's dog skin plaster also seemed to be sticky, and he was immediately anxious.

He just wanted to arrange someone to clean up Wang Xuance, but in the next second, when he saw Yongji and the four thousand cavalry behind Wang Xuance, he was so frightened that his heart was broken, and without saying a word, he hurriedly ordered everyone to retreat.

However, it was too late to retreat at this time, and under the order of Yongji, the cavalry moved quickly, crossing the mountain road like the wind, and surrounded Fan Changsheng's troops.

Seeing this, the general was terrified, and couldn't help but ask Fan Changsheng: "Cheng, Prime Minister, what should we do now?" ”

Seeing this mortal situation now, Fan Changsheng's face is not good-looking, it stands to reason that he shouldn't be, he has calculated Li Xiong's fate, and his life is definitely not so short.

Could it be that there was another variable, or did you make a mistake from the beginning?

Realizing this, Fan Changsheng couldn't help but start to doubt himself.

But soon, he strengthened his consciousness.

No, you can't go wrong, how can you miscalculate.

Li Xiong will definitely continue to live, and he will not die.

Thinking of this, Fan Changsheng clenched his fists and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is a desperate situation. Everyone has to work hard. Rest assured, reinforcements will arrive. ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions were questioning.

Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements, 200,000 Eastern Expeditionary Army, 70,000 main forces, only the 1,000 people on their own side and the more than 15,000 people of Taibao Li Shi, who is still 50 miles away and still does not know the defeat situation.

Yes, there are many logistics staff.

But they are all common people and farmers, and they can't fight.

But Fan Changsheng has always had prestige in Yizhou, and what he said was very effective, no matter how incredible it was, it came true in the end.

It is precisely because of this that although everyone doubts, they have to choose to believe.

Immediately, under the command of Fan Changsheng, the remaining more than 1,000 sergeants regained their fighting spirit and protected Li Xiong to fight while retreating.

Wang Xuance made meritorious contributions, and a hook and sickle broke into the enemy formation, rushing left and right, so not majestic.

Seeing that his own army formation was about to be disrupted by Wang Xuance alone. Fan Changsheng was also anxious, but he didn't have the idea to stop him.

As a last resort, Fan Changsheng led dozens of cavalry under his command to protect Li Xiong, leaving the brigade to retreat.

When he withdrew, he did not forget to deceive people: "Your Majesty raised you for today." Fight to the death, and in half an hour, I will bring reinforcements! ”

At this moment, these Li Xiong's henchmen from the Di clan can't do anything even if they are dissatisfied. They can only stay to fight to the death.

Because for them, Li Xiong is not only the son of heaven, but also their chief.

As a result, the remaining infantry soldiers desperately resisted Yongji and Wang Xuance, and let Fan Changsheng escape.

Seeing this, Wang Xuance was anxious as if he had been cut by a knife.

He said hello to Yongji, and directly led more than 20 elite horsemen to kill Fan Changsheng's department.

Wang Xuance's speed was so fast, but in just ten minutes, he caught up with Fan Changsheng on the mountain road.

He ignited his fighting spirit again, regardless of the blood on his back: "Brothers, kill me and pick Li Xiong's dog head, and be promoted to marquis, just today!" ”

Under Wang Xuance's instigation, the more than 20 elite horsemen who traveled with him were high-spirited. He screamed and rushed forward.

Fan Changsheng's department was already tired and sleepy, and in addition, the cavalry of Fan Changsheng's department used short Sichuan horses, which were not as good as the Xianbei war horses used by Wang Xuance's troops, and the strength of the horses on both sides was not of the same level.

No, as soon as they came into contact, Fan Changsheng's department was defeated, so much so that the desperate Fan Changsheng couldn't help but cry out sadly: "Cangtian, is it possible that I, Fan Changsheng, am going to die here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the shouts of killing all around moved the sky, and then, on both sides of the road, about 10,000 people came out.

Faced with this situation, both Fan Changsheng and Wang Xuance were taken aback.

What's the situation, the other side's reinforcements are coming?

For Fan Changsheng, it was difficult for him to survive under Wang Xuance's pursuit, but he never expected that he would have reinforcements.

However, Fan Changsheng's shock and terror did not last for a few seconds before it stopped.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that this wave of reinforcements was not Wang Xuance's people, but his own people.

When watching the Chinese army under the banner of Cheng Taibao Li, Fan Changsheng was overjoyed.

It is Li Shi, the banner of Li Xiong's brother Li Shi.

Although Fan Changsheng didn't know how Li Shi knew about his defeat, and how he supported at this critical moment.

However, as soon as Li Shi appeared, his own way of life was also opened.

Realizing this, Fan Changsheng raised his arms and shouted: "The sky has eyes, I am alive again, I, Fan Changsheng, am alive again." ”

For a time, the fighting spirit was high, and they were defeated soldiers, but they were on a par with Wang Xuance's subordinates.

This made Wang Xuance difficult, seeing that Fan Changsheng was getting braver and braver, and that Li Shi's department was already close in front of him, Wang Xuance knew it. If these stalemates continue, when Li Shi surrounds him, he will die.

Although he is greedy for merit, he will not do the business of sending him to death.

Immediately, Wang Xuance hooked the sickle in the air, without saying a word, led his troops, and quickly left the battlefield.

Li Shi saw Fan Changsheng and Li Xiong in a coma in the midst of the chaos.

Immediately, he hurriedly ran forward: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Prime Minister, what's wrong, aren't you chasing Yao Yu? ”

Fan Changsheng sighed, and at this moment, he even felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

No, Fan Changsheng wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "Don't mention Lord Taibao, Your Majesty and I fell into a trick by mistake." fell for Yao Yu, if it weren't for your sudden appearance, I'm afraid we would all suffer today. ”

When Li Shi heard this, his face was very ugly.

Fan Changsheng continued: "However, although our army was defeated, Wang Xuance must not spare him. This bastard has been chasing us all the way, Lord Taibao, send someone to catch up with him and slaughter him!" ”

When Li Shi heard this, his expression was strange and abnormal.

Seeing this, Fan Changsheng still didn't understand and asked Li Shi what was going on.

"Prime Minister, don't hide it, I, I was also defeated and wanted to go to Your Majesty."

"Huh?"

For a moment, Fan Changsheng was stunned.

No, it's not, why are you still defeated?

Didn't you let you stay outside Yichang City to surround Yao Xin, and there was no threat of traps around you, how did you do it?
