At the foot of the mountain, the drums urge people, the flag hunts, the sound of horses' hooves is like thunder, the birds and beasts are frightened away, and people and animals do not stop.

This time, Li Tai did not enter the battle formation and gallop to kill the enemy, but sat in the Wanshan Temple, which had just been captured from the hands of Liu Zhongli's troops, and ordered his elite cavalry troops to divide and outflank Liu Zhongli's troops who had fled in the mountains on the battlefield.

Knowing that Lord Lang had returned to the army, He Ruodun happily rushed to greet him, and talked about Liu Zhongli's rush into the city not long ago, but he was killed and withdrawn by himself.

When Li Tai heard that Liu Zhongli had already led his troops into the city, he was also terrified. If Xiangyang City changed hands, it would have a great impact on his entire Jianghan plan.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sure enough, there is no vanity under the fame, and he still has to be cautious when playing against a long-established veteran like Liu Zhongli, otherwise a negligence may reverse the good situation.

He did have the intention of making a big deal and creating the illusion that a large army was heading west, so as to induce Liu Zhongli to leave his Anlu lair and come north to invade Xiangyang. At that time, he could lead the people of Hanzhong to return to the division, plus Yang Zhong, who had stayed in northern China and watched Handong, and the defenders of Xiangyang City, and the three parties returned to attack Liu Zhongli together, and the battle was leveled.

When he went to Hanzhong, Li Tai naturally played at a super level, did not waste any time, and returned to the army as soon as Da Xiwu arrived in Nanzhengcheng, but he still did not return to the division before Liu Zhongli invaded Xiangyang, which shows that Liu Zhongli grasped the opportunity quickly.

Of course, the most surprising thing for Li Tai was that Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, was sitting in such a majestic city, and he let Liu Zhonglikou enter the city so easily, almost ruining his own big thing. No matter who these Nanliang clans cooperate with, it is to play the role of pig teammates to the fullest!

If it weren't for Li Tai's arrangement of He Ruodun in Xiangyang and turning the tide at a critical moment, then now after Li Tai returns, he will no longer face Liu Zhongli, who has lost his ground after taking the bait, but Xiangyang Xiongcheng, which is controlled by Liu Zhongli!

"After this battle, the prestige of He Ruodun will definitely be able to deter Jiang Han! Liu Zhongli is a lost man, and he will help you become famous with his body! ”

Although He Ruodun's frequent poisonous tongue and cheap mouth are very unpleasant, I have to say that his talent strength is definitely among the best under his own door, especially this time to protect Xiangyang, which surprised Li Tai.

When He Ruodun heard Li Tai's praise, he immediately became overjoyed, and waved his hand again and again and said modestly: "The servant who watched Xiangyang defend the city was inferior in civil and military affairs, and he knew in his heart that Lord Lang made me here, in order to save the situation at such a critical moment, so I didn't dare to relax!"

Although I am brave and strong, but I am a thief, but when it comes to the fundamentals, Liu Zhongli still loses in Lord Lang's clever arrangement! The former let go of his people in the battle, please allow the servant to capture this disciple for the lord of Lang again! ”

Li Tai also smiled when he heard this, raised his hand and asked his soldiers to send a dragon pattern lance, and he personally gave it to He Ruodun, and said with a smile: "Hold this sharp blade and continue to make meritorious contributions!" ”

As soon as this horse lance was first started, He Ruodun suddenly felt good, and he was overjoyed in his heart, and when he bowed his hand and said: "Please wait here for a while, and the servant will return when he enters the battle to pick and kill the thief!" ”

At this time, the scope of the pursuit battlefield had spread and expanded, and all the powerful men under Liu Zhongli's command fled into the wilderness, and only a few cronies were still guarding him, escorting Liu Zhongli to the south in the hope of getting rid of the pursuers and fleeing the battlefield.

At this time, there were nearly 100 soldiers in the rear, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer, but a canal with a width of more than ten zhang suddenly appeared in front. Liu Zhongli and his soldiers rushed across the pontoon bridge, and then slashed and damaged the pontoon bridge from the opposite bank.

"Liunu Hugh is gone!"

At this time, He Ruodun had already led his troops to kill here, and seeing that Liu Zhongli was already on the other side, he couldn't help but shout for an invitation.

But the roar frightened Liu Zhongli even more, and even if he turned on his horse again, he and the remnants of his men continued to flee south. However, just after his men had run a few feet, one of the pursuers who had been blocked in the north of the canal dismounted and took up his strong bow and shot an arrow at the opposite side.

This powerful arrow shot directly through the river, straight to the south bank of Liu Zhongli's back shoulder blade, after the arrow Liu Zhongli fell directly off the horse, fortunately in the left and right cronies to support, pull it on the horse's back again, continue to run away.

"Good archery! What's the name of the kid? ”

Although He Ruodun failed to stop Liu Zhongli, after seeing this scene, he couldn't help but exclaim, and pointed to the soldier who shot Liu Zhongli and asked.

The soldier hurriedly put away his bow, saluted to He Ruodun, and said: "Tell the general, the humble name is Pi Jinghe, and now the lord Li Dadu is the master of the tent." ”

He Ruodun knew that there was a small but good cavalry guard under the command of Lord Lang, and each of the archers who had to be selected was the elite of the army, and when he heard that the young sergeant in front of him was also among them, he smiled and said: "You are really good at shooting hands, although you have escaped the head of the thief today, but under the command of the lord, there will be a day of fame!" ”

Speaking of this, he remembered that Lord Lang had just commented that he was about to become famous, and he couldn't help but laugh proudly again.

On the battlefield, all the people returned one after another, and at this time, Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, hurriedly came here from the city, with a palpitating expression on his face, and opened his mouth to scold Liu Zhongli, who did not talk about martial arts and deceived and deceived to attack Xiangyang.

After learning that Liu Zhongli's men and horses had been defeated, King Yueyang breathed a long sigh of relief, and thanked Li Tai, who came back in time, and He Ruodun, who turned the tide in the city: "The willow thief is treacherous and cunning, luring me to the east, if it weren't for General He Ruo guarding the mansion, leading the crowd to attack, and killing the thieves, Xiangyang City would have almost not been defended!" Fortunately, Boshan, you came back in time to help and defeated the thief division in the wilderness, but it only delayed your plan to enter Hanzhong, which is really ......"

Speaking of this, King Yueyang put on a shy expression again, and Li Tai waved his hand and said with a smile after hearing this: "The king doesn't have to apologize for this, Hanzhong has already made up his mind, and I happen to be here in triumph, taking advantage of this victory to break another enemy." ”

"What? Hanzhong has ......"

When King Yueyang heard this, his eyes widened immediately, and he looked at Li Tai in disbelief, Li Tai went north by the way from Xiangyang, King Yueyang naturally knew the exact date of his trip, and he never imagined that the other party would take such a short time to get the huge Hanzhong.

After recognizing the essence of King Yueyang's pig teammates, Li Tai didn't bother to show off his exploits in front of him, but proposed to station a boat division not far from the west side of Xiangyang to deal with Xiangyang in response to the nearest Xiangyang on the matter of Liu Zhongli's attack on Xiangyang.

The king of Yueyang had not yet recovered from the fright of Xiangyang being taken away, and he was shocked to hear the news that Hanzhong had also been taken away, and when he heard Li Tai's request again, he nodded yes half fearfully and half flatteringly.

Although there are still tens of thousands of horses in Xiangyang City today, after this incident, King Yueyang is no longer inseparable from Li Tai's military assistance, and he does not dare to refuse at all.

Li Tai first stopped in Xiangyang for a short time, and then went to Caiyang City on the other side of the Han River to inform Xiangyang of the battle situation, and informed Yang Zhong of the garrison Xinye that he did not need to join here, and immediately launched a strategy against Handong.

Because Liu Zhongli ordered Ma Bofu to settle in Xiashu, which directly threatened the heart of Jingzhou, Yang Zhong moved to the other side to besiege Xiashu. It was not the first time he had attacked Xiashu, the gateway to the Suizao Pass, and Ma Bofu, the defender, did not have any outstanding defensive skills, and after Yang Zhong's siege for several days, he gradually lost his strength and surrendered the city.

After capturing Xiashu and subduing Ma Bofu, Yang Zhong knew that Liu Zhongli had launched an attack on Xiangyang from the southern route, and after informing the army of this news, Yang Zhong quickly led his headquarters with 3,000 cavalry to Caiyang City, which was not far from Xiangyang.

Originally, Yang Zhong also speculated that Liu Zhongli might have to march north along the Han River and attack Xiangyang by land and water, so he stayed in Caiyang City, intending to give a head-on attack when Liu Zhongli's army entered here.

When the battle situation in Xiangyang was sent to Caiyang, Yang Zhong knew the trajectory of Liu Zhongli's march, and after Li Tai was authorized to launch an attack on the Handong region independently, Yang Zhong suddenly became like a fierce tiger, and led his men and horses directly south along the Han River under the leadership of Ma Bofu, a tyrant with Lu, and successively captured Qixing, Changzhou and other cities, and encountered the rest of Liu Zhongli's men and horses in Shicheng.

Liu Zhongli led 3,000 elite cavalry to attack Xiangyang, but he was defeated and returned, and there were few of the 3,000 elite cavalry who were able to return. However, he still has nearly 8,000 troops in Stone City, and his power is still not to be underestimated.

Yang Zhong attacked so far, there are still only more than 3,000 people in the headquarters, seeing that the enemy is outnumbered, the troops have advised Yang Zhong to stop here for a while, wait for the arrival of the rear passers-by before attacking Liu Zhongli.

"If the army loses its sharpness, it will definitely be defeated! Although Liu Zhongli's division brigade is numerous, it has no fighting spirit, and once it is defeated, why fake the rear division! ”

After Yang Zhong took a look at the enemy's formation, when he made a decision, he first set up a formation several miles away from Hanshui, and he personally led five hundred elite cavalry to charge Liu Zhongli's army.

In fact, as Yang Zhong expected, although Liu Zhongli still had many troops, he was timid and slow to respond, and when he saw the elite cavalry rushing to kill, he subconsciously shrank backwards and retreated, and the formation suddenly deteriorated.

Yang Zhong led his troops to rush through this crowded but scattered military formation, and the soldiers began to flee towards Siye, and Liu Zhongli's Chinese army tent was exposed.

Originally, Liu Zhongli's troops were still waiting to support him and flee elsewhere, but Liu Zhongli was already slow to move when he was wounded by an arrow, and Yang Zhong himself was one of the bravest generals in Beizhen, how could he allow Liu Zhongli to flee elsewhere, feeling where he was, even if he led his troops to fight in a conflict, he directly captured Liu Zhongli in the town.

After capturing Liu Zhongli, Yang Zhong reported to the rear while taking advantage of this victory to break the defenders of Jingling, and then turned to Liu Zhongli's old nest Anlu.

However, at this time, Li Tai had no time to cheer for Yang Zhong, he stayed in Xiangyang for two days, and just arranged for Zhu Meng to lead the sailors from Xingzhou to return to the west of Xiangyang City, and then got the Jingzhou base camp to report the news that the Sanyadao barbarians were disturbing, and it seemed that Murong Shaozong of the Eastern Wei Dynasty drove the people to attack, so he returned to the town without stopping.
