"I think that's the same." Li Sui said, "The Ming army wants to transport military rations, and it is too difficult for the military to go to Dongdong. ”

"General Li, the last general asked to be the vanguard and lead the army to chase and kill Hua Yunlong's main force." Wang Shi said, "The last general must capture Hua Yunlong alive in this battle and dedicate it to the general." ”

"No!" However, Li Chenggui was still like an old fox, unwilling to pursue rashly, "Do you think Hua Yunlong will be so unbearable?" Without even bringing enough grain and grass, you dare to attack the east on a large scale? ”

"And the Ming army has been withdrawn for two hours, and if we want to catch up, we must march long and urgently."

"At that time, the Ming army will just wait for work, and it is possible to set up an ambush and ambush us."

"General Li is really cautious with his soldiers!" Li Sui sighed.

……

"General Li, a defeated army has arrived in Xianzhou, and the two sons have sent people to ask for help." At this time, a soldier stepped forward to report.

The Ming army is attacking Xianzhou? Li Chenggui's expression froze when he heard this, isn't his main force here, how can he have the energy to divide his troops to attack Xianzhou? Moreover, Xianzhou has 10,000 defenders holding on to the fortified city, why was it defeated?

However, at this point, he was no longer allowed to think about it.

Hurriedly said: "Call him over quickly?" ”

Soon, a soldier covered in blood came to Li Chenggui. In fact, when he 'fought his way out of the encirclement', he was not subjected to too fierce resistance at all, but in order to show that the military situation was urgent, and to show that he himself had fought bloodily to get more rewards, the soldier made himself covered in blood and broke one of his arms before seeing Li Chenggui.

"General Li." After the soldier saw Li Chenggui, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said excitedly, "Xianzhou City was attacked by the main force led by Hua Yunlong himself, and the two sons fought bloodily, so they barely kept Xianzhou City. ”

"Nonsense!" Li Chenggui scolded, "Hua Yunlong's main force is here, why did he suddenly arrive in Xianzhou." ”

"It's true!" The soldier said, "My subordinates and the two sons have seen Hua Yunlong's general flag with their own eyes. Hua Yunlong's team brought a fire gun, an infantry army, and a cavalry, and the number of them was no less than 100,000 people! Even in such an unfavorable situation, the two sons fought bloodily, held the city, and repelled Hua Yunlong's strong attacks many times. In this battle, the two sons fought extremely bravely. ”

"Hua Yunlong has 100,000 people attacking Xianzhou? Sling the bull! Li Chenggui said angrily, "He only brought a total of 100,000 people, and he doesn't need auxiliaries to transport military rations?" Auxiliaries are not needed to transport the wounded? ”

"And there are 20,000 combat soldiers here, and the 100,000 people in Xianzhou fell from the sky?"

"General Li, that's the case, and his subordinates don't know where his 100,000 people came from." The soldier said, "The two sons of the general are hard to defend the city, and they eat and live on the city tower. Moreover, the grain roads in the city were cut off, and the soldiers and civilians even caught the rats in the city and ate them. I also hope that General Li will return to the army as soon as possible to help, if there is any delay, I am afraid that the lives of the two sons will not be guaranteed. ”

"General Ben knows, you go down." Li Chenggui said, seeing that he was covered in blood, he couldn't bear it, and said to Wang Shi, "Take him down to bandage his wounds, and reward him with a hundred taels of silver if he eats and drinks." ”

"Then go back and tell the two sons that Ben will return to the army immediately to help."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the soldier who reported had gone down, Li Chenggui frowned. He still knows something about his two sons. Knowing what they say, half can't take it seriously.

After all, it is father and son, and there is subconscious favoritism in the relationship.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Fangyu and Li Fangguo are completely dumbfounded.

"Although I don't know where Xianzhou Huayunlong's troops came from, although the words of the two sons may be exaggerated, but it is certain that Xianzhou's side has indeed been attacked." Li Sui said, "And the attack of the Ming army is quite fierce, after all, the two sons have 10,000 troops to defend the fortified city. General Li, should we go back to the army immediately? ”

Li Chenggui didn't answer when he heard this, it was his two sons who were trapped, and of course he had to save them.

"The rescue must be rescued, Xianzhou is an important town in my Goryeo, and there is no room for failure." Li Chenggui said, "But you have to think twice before you rescue, Xianzhou is likely to have set up a pocket array, just waiting for us to take the bait." ”

"You mean, they're sending reinforcements at the encirclement?" Li Sui said.

"It's very likely!" Li Chenggui said.

"Will you lead the whole army to rescue or part of the army?" Li Sui asked.

"Let Wang Shi lead 30,000 troops to the rescue." Li Chenggui said, "You and I lead 30,000 troops to defend here to prevent Hua Yunlong's main force from counterattacking." If he dares to come again, I will make him come back. ”

"Is 30,000 troops enough?" Li Sui asked.

"Totally sufficient!" Li Chenggui said, "Hua Yunlong's main force is here, so the military strength of Xianzhou will never be as many as 100,000 as they say." According to my estimates, the Ming army in Xianzhou was at most 10,000, and it was led by Hua Yunlong's generals. The two evil obstacles can't even hold the 10,000 Ming army, which really infuriates me. Tell Wang Shi that when he returns to help, he must cooperate with the defenders of Xianzhou. ”

"Honorable Order!" Li Sui said.

……

Li Chenggui led the army to hold on to the east for a day, and there was no sign of the Ming army's counterattack in the middle, and he was lonely.

The Ming army seems to have disappeared since the last retreat.

It was the same night.

There are soldiers who escaped in return: Wang Shi was ambushed by the Ming army, was surrounded in the pocket array, and suffered heavy losses, Wang Shi stuck to wait for help!

Sure enough, it's a reinforcement from the surrounding point! Li Chenggui's heart trembled.

It's just that he can't figure out where the Ming army got so many troops to set up an ambush to attack the king. He led 30,000 troops to reinforce, and wanted to set up an ambush to attack 30,000 troops and surround him in a pocket formation, and the Ming army was at least no less than 50,000! There are fewer troops, and even if an ambush is set up in advance, it will not be able to surround it.

"How is this possible!" Li Chenggui's expression froze.

After a long time, he said: "Wang Shi is likely to have been deceived by the Ming army here, the Ming army here is not the main force of Hua Yunlong, but the Ming army in Xianzhou is." However, the battle here is so tragic that it does not look like fighting against the sheep attack troops. ”

"I have no choice but to return to help." Li Sui sighed and said, "The two sons want to be saved, and Wang Shi must also be saved." If you rescue Wang Shi and join forces with him in time, you may be able to save the defeat. ”

"That's all it can be." Li Chenggui sighed.

"But what if we're gone?" Li Sui said.

"Leave 10,000 troops to hold on." Li Chenggui said helplessly, "The general who sticks to the east can't go out of the city to fight the Ming army no matter what, this is the general's strict order to kill those who violate the order!" ”

After speaking, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses, and went back with Wang Shi and 20,000 troops to rescue Wang Shi.

20,000 troops set out in a majestic manner, carrying dry rations for three days with the army.
