In October, the six masters of the main force of the empire gathered, with Xiyan Mansion and Jiuchuan Mansion as the rear, and stormed the Holy Sect army occupying Songling Mansion, but in the blink of an eye, in November, it was a sudden change in the situation, and the private army of the Guiqi tribe, which was dominated by the two divisions of Jialin Mansion, obliquely inserted into the heart of the Jiuchuan Mansion Empire, thus making a big reversal in the battle situation.

The autumn rain was a lot, with a little cold, and the wine was in this once quiet and rich land, the main force of the empire, the six master regiments, but now only three severely injured divisions were besieged in the area of Cuiqiu, with less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, although they still occupied several cities and defended each other's horns, but the Holy Sect army besieged on the left and right had closed all their retreats. [, was hit by his own people in the back, and then besieged for more than half a month, seeing that outside the city, more and more Holy Sect soldiers and horses besieged him, and even the communication between the three cities has been problematic, although there is no shortage of food and grass, but no one is optimistic about this situation.

Ga, a crisp birdsong sounded under the moon, a bird and beast full of black feathers flapped its wings and landed on the town wall of Nanlong Town, Wen Chou jumped off the back of the black vulture, came to a battlement, and said to Xiahou Yuan who was standing on the wall:

"The situation is not optimistic, among the three cities, morale is no longer available, and rumors are endless, and there are even soldiers and horses in tandem in private, I am afraid that in a stalemate for a few days, the emperor may not be attacked!"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the camps outside the town that were burning with large stacks of bonfires, even at this night, Shi Fang was still constantly digging trenches, and then advancing layer by layer, the other party's soldiers and horses may not be as elite as here, and they may even be a group of farmers who have just picked up weapons, but in the face of this layer of siege, the dense rejection of horses is gradually isolating this place.

sighed and said: "The Vermilion Bird Legion, the Python Legion is too old, although they are all worthy of the elite, but they are like a ball of stagnant water, the generals do not know the soldiers, do not know how to motivate the rustic, only use military regulations to suppress, there is no connection between the upper and lower levels, and the Holy Sect Army is not eager to attack, but step by step, the other party knows the disadvantages of their own side very well, so they only besiege and do not attack!"

"And constantly use the heart attack, every day put a large number of persuasion documents, promise to re-promise, this heart is uneven, up and down, and there is the force of outsiders, plus this step by step of the pressure, sooner or later someone will surrender, and once someone stands up, the imitator is heavy!"

"Now there is only a way to break through, if you gather all the strength of the three divisions, there are tens of thousands of people in the emperor's **, and there are many strong people in the army, forcibly break through, you should be able to kill out!"

Wen Chou said.

"It seems a little late to say these now, the shortcomings in the Emperor ** have been violently exposed in this battle, the large-scale rebellion of the Rock Legion, and the defection of the Guiqi clan, this is not accidental, the self-interest is too heavy, this army has long been drained of the bone marrow, and now it is just the original form of being beaten by others!"

"Look at it, if you continue to hold on, you may be able to support it for two more days, but if you break through, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold it for a day!"

Chen Nan in Cuiqiu City finally made up his mind, it was impossible to continue to defend, the reinforcements he had been looking forward to were no longer possible, in this battle, most of the elite of Chuzhou was lost, and the Huang family, as well as the newly rising Leng family, had no intention of coming to help, of course, even if they wanted to, there was nowhere to mobilize the troops and horses.

A few months ago, Xiangyang was reorganized into 34 divisions and regiments, including 15 main divisions, but now, the fifteen main divisions and regiments formed by the three major regiments of Vermilion Bird, Panshi and Python, the Panshi Five Masters Regiment no longer exist, either by the Guiqi clan, or by the Holy Sect Army, and then there is self-contained, but it is not in the Zun Empire.

The Vermilion Bird Legion came to three, and now only one of the divisions that was injured in his hands was stabbed, and the remaining two, when they were attacked by the rear, they were scattered, and the remnants of the army did not know how much they could retract, and the three divisions of the Python Legion were intact, but they were frightened and dared not act rashly, and the remaining two were also seriously injured, guarding Nanlong and Weiyang, while the remaining few divisions were stationed in Chuzhou, the Northern Mansions, and they had to guard against Li Tang in the north, and they could not be mobilized.

The remaining nineteen local divisions, half of them are the private army of the Guizhou tribe, and there are two divisions of Jialin who rebel, who would dare to use the soldiers and horses of the Guizhou tribe, as for other local divisions, what virtue he can not know, there is simply a group of rabble, rely on them to rescue, not to mention that the time is not in time, even if it is in time, can it be relied on!

"Break through!" Chen Nan finally made this decision and ordered a breakthrough.

Xishui County, Leng Zhuo sat in the county office, listening to Xiahou Yuan's narration, the Cuiqiu breakthrough finally inevitably became a tragic song, Chen Nan still didn't know the soldiers and horses under his command, when he arranged the breakthrough plan, an irreparable loophole was doomed to the result of this breakthrough.

"Have you been saved?"

"Back to the young master, General Wen personally escorted Marquis Chen back to the Vermilion Bird City!"

"Well, I know, Chen Nan was defeated, and he lost half of Chuzhou, he will not have a good time in the future, let him attract everyone's attention first, and then it will be time for us to perform on stage, defend the front line of Xiangshui, we are the heroes of the empire!"

Leng Zhuo said, but he turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, who arrived a day ago, and said, "Military Division, I heard that the rout of the Vermilion Bird Legion has gathered three or four thousand people?"

"Well, they were all scattered before, some of them were thrown into the Python Division in the north, and some of them crossed Xiangshui and were gathered in a large camp next to Xiangshui, and the number was almost four cadres!

"Hehe, no way, there are too few people we can use in our hands, we really have to rely on our own recruitment and training, it is difficult to become an elite soldier in a year or two, although the three major legions are a lot of bad habits, but the soldiers below are all recruited from the preparation college, how bad is it is also trained for many years, and several major battles, it can be regarded as quite a combat experience, as for the morale problem, I think it is not difficult for us. ”

"But these people seem to be the soldiers and horses of the Vermilion Bird Legion, and it seems that it will be a little difficult for the young master to keep it for himself!" Guo Jia only took more than a month to understand the current pattern distribution of Chuzhou, if that Chen Nan died, he could still find a reason, but the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion was still alive, so it was a little difficult to poach the horns, and the name was not right!

"Of course we can't come out, when we were in Xizi Town before, I rescued a person named Liu Rufeng, who had a relationship with each other in the Vermilion Bird City in the past, but it was my grandfather's subordinate in the army, and in the Vermilion Bird Legion, it is considered a neutral faction, he also has a position of brigade commander, let him lead this army should be justified, and let General Xiahou as a deputy to reorganize this army as soon as possible, soon, the Holy Sect Army will attack the Xiangshui line, we must resist this wave, even if we have to retreat to the other side in the end, we must let the Holy Sect Army dare not rashly cross the Xiangshui line！”

Although the soldiers have won a lot of military power before, but after calculating it, there are very few that can be used, and the first line of Xiangshui, stretching for three or four thousand miles, is the largest river in Chuzhou, and it is not possible to defend the whole line, but even if it is only to guard the ferries along the line, there are more than ten of them, and there are nine of them in Dazhong Ferry, but they are the places that must be defended! "By the way, where are the several brigades of the 15th Division now!" When Leng Zhuo obtained the military rights of more than a dozen brigades and regiments, only one brigade of the 15th Division of the Panshi Army was not Leng Zhuo's people, and the remaining four brigades were all controlled by Leng Zhuo's famous generals.

Tai Qiong of the 71st Brigade, Wei Chi Gong of the 72nd Brigade, Han Baohu of the 74th Brigade, Shi Wansui of the 75th Brigade, and in addition, the division commander is Chen Qingzhi.

But the current situation is a little not optimistic, compared with the Zi family and other Gui tribes who have been in Jialin Mansion for many years, the newly reorganized 14th Division is more like an outsider, and the Gui Yuan army led by the Zi family has two divisions, and after absorbing part of the strength of the Panshi Legion, the scale has expanded, and the local area is also more inclined to the Zi family, the situation in Jialin Mansion is even more alarming.

"Qin Qiong's soldiers and horses are in the area of Xiaotangshan, Wei Chigong's soldiers and horses have captured Xiguan, several places in Linxian County, Han Baohu's soldiers and horses have just withdrawn from Xiangcheng in the north and marched towards Xiguan, as for Shi Wansui's soldiers and horses, they are Ziyang in the west of Jialing, but they are stuck there and are besieged by the Guizhou army on the West Road!"

"So, the eastern area of Jialin Mansion is still in our hands!"

"Yes, but at present, the Guiqi army is moving southward and storming the area under our control, and several brigades of the 15th Division are newly built, and there are not many veterans. Leng Zhuo heard this, but he was silent, the Leng family's previous foundation was too poor, although in the battle of Xiangyang in June, they fought for a lot of military power, but now it is only five months, and these five months, half of the time is wasted on the front line of Xiangyang Tianhe, and it is only less than three months to return to the station, the time is too short, and even the foundation is not stable.
