"Watch the defensive spacing!"

"Every battlement must be defended!"

"The generals are all moving, always pay attention to the situation on the city wall, and when they see a hole in the defense, they immediately call someone to fill it!"

The Son of Heaven started the New Year for three years, the sixth day of the fourth month of summer, and the head of Suiyang City.

The rebels' attack on Suiyang continues.

But unlike the past month or so, in the face of the embarrassment of the rebels attacking the city, everything is going on in an orderly manner at the head of the Suiyang wall at this moment.

- Liu Wu, King of Liang, accompanied by Lieutenant Zhang Yu, stood in the corner tower above the city gate, covered by his own soldiers, observing the situation inside and outside the city walls;

The Liang general Han Anguo and the cavalry captain Li Guang respectively led the Liang army and the Guanzhong reinforcements brought by Liu Fei to build a defensive line on the city wall.

These two armies were not mixed by Liu Fei, but were distributed on the city wall in the unit of 'shi'.

The effect of this arrangement is obviously also very significant;

——A dozen or so Liang soldiers with 'Shi', when they turned their heads sideways in the interval between battles, they could glimpse their left and right, and they were Guanzhong soldiers who were full of spirit and strong combat power.

Just by looking at it like this from time to time, the morale of the soldiers of the Liang State can be visibly improved.

Because of the soldiers around them, they will give birth to an inexplicable peace of mind.

Something like "we are not alone" and "there is this group of macho men by our side" peace of mind.

But as time passed, a situation that Liu Fei did not expect appeared between these Liang Guobing and Guan Zhongpu, who were intersecting and distributed on the city wall······

"Boom!"

On the city wall, a Guan pawn stabbed a sword and stabbed a rebel vanguard who poked his head out of the city wall, and fell off the city wall with a scream;

Then, the pawn spat and tightened his grip on the long sword;

Although his eyes were still locked on the outside of the city wall, his mouth was slightly joking: "See? ”

"—This is my seventh today!"

"You handsome little ladies of Liang Kingdom, look good and study hard!"

"Don't wait for us to return to Guanzhong, and be ······ by the rabble of the clansmen and princes"

"Go!!"

"Hmm······ the eighth; ”

"It's a pity that they all fell off the city wall, and they can't cut their heads~"

"Tut-tut······"

As he spoke, he was another rebel who poked his head out, and was stabbed off the city wall by the pawn of that pass.

And at a position of about ten steps away from the pawn of that pass, the defenders of Liang State on both sides couldn't help but turn their heads slightly, and their eyes looked at the pawn of that pass, and they all had a look of annoyance.

"The reckless man from Guanzhong!"

With a sip, everyone turned around again and refocused on the battle in front of them.

It's just that even they didn't notice it: after being provoked by the pawn, everyone's hands wielding their long swords were obviously stronger······

"In this way, there really won't be a problem?"

Not far away, looking at the Liang Guobing and Guan Zhongbei who were intersecting on the city wall, Han Anguo only asked with some concern.

But seeing Li Guangman on the side, he waved his hand indifferently: "Hi~"

"It's very common;

"--They are all husbands with strong blood, if they don't even have this bit of blood, how can they kill the enemy?"

"If you don't even dare to fight with this breath, then let alone kill the enemy, even if you cut a stake, you may not be able to cut it accurately."

As he spoke, Li Guang did not forget to stretch out his hand and patted Han Anguo on the shoulder.

"Don't worry~"

"Just so hard, mixing mouths, before you know it, the battle can be won."

"On the contrary, the soldiers didn't say a word, gritted their teeth, frowned, and tightened the string in their hearts, then there was going to be a big problem."

said nonchalantly, causing Han Anguo to bow his head thoughtfully;

Before he could nod his head in approval, he saw Li Guanghe raise his head with a smile, and shouted at the top of his throat: "Sons! ”

"Work harder!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of rebels, but they can't, they all count on Liang Guo's group of handsome girls to kill hundreds of thousands of rebels, right?"

"Huh?!"

A shout made the soldiers on the city wall laugh for a while, and they all cheered up and threw themselves into the battle even harder.

When the soldiers of Liang Guo heard this call, they blushed with anger, and they cast their resentful eyes on Li Guang's smiling face.

Regarding the reaction of the soldiers, Li Guangzi was full of indifference, and even secretly proud;

But after noticing that Han Anguo beside him had a slightly strange complexion, Li Guang turned his head a little puzzled.

"General Han, this is ······"

"—nothing."

Without waiting for Li Guang's words of concern, he saw Han Anguo coldly throw out a word, and glanced at Li Guang deeply;

After a while, Han Anguo turned around and left, leaving Li Guang stunned, still frowning in confusion.

"General Li~"

"General Lee······"

was about to catch up, and Liu Fei's helpless exclamation came from behind him, causing Li Guang to subconsciously turn around.

saw Liu Fei shaking his head helplessly and sighing, and said a word to Li Guang leisurely.

"Let's just say, is there such a possibility;"

"——The general of this 'Liang State', he is also a 'Liang person'?"

"Just in front of you, scolding people as 'Liang Guojun's little lady', General Li, do you still expect people to laugh at it?"

"-Or give General Li another ????"

A ridicule full of banter finally made Li Guang react, only lowered his head slightly embarrassed, and then stiffened twice.

"Hey, hey, hey······"

"The last general is stupid and can't speak······"

"Hey, hey, hey·········"

said a word with a smile, but Liu Fei shook his head again and sighed bitterly.

After a while, I saw Liu Fei's brows furrowed suddenly, and he stepped forward with a strange face, leaning over and sniffing Li Guang's upper body.

When Li Guang took a step back in a little panic, Liu Fei looked at Li Guang's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a burst of despair.

"It's not noon yet······"

"——General Li didn't even forget to drink wine even when he had breakfast?"

As low as possible, he lowered his voice as much as possible, and pulled Li Guang to a position close to the inner side of the city wall, and Liu Fei's eyebrows immediately took on a touch of seriousness.

In the tone, there is no longer the slightest hint of ridicule, there is just endless solemnity.

Seeing Liu Fei's posture, Li Guang couldn't help but be a little flustered, humming and chirping for a long time, but he couldn't say a clear word.

Just as Liu Fei shook his head and sighed bitterly, thinking about how to deal with this matter, a hoarse call suddenly came from the remote platform not far away.

"Wu thief retreated!"

Xiao Yuanzu roared with all his might, which made Liu Fei and Li Guang stunned;

After a while, when the two of them came to the outer edge of the city wall, they saw that the rebels outside the city wall had retreated like a tide under the command of the rebel generals.

"Huh?"

"This wave of the thief army's offensive has only been launched for a short time, right?"

"That's ······"

"-Retreated?"

Liu Fei's words of surprise only caused Li Guang to shake his head in confusion, obviously feeling very confused by the abnormal behavior of the rebels.

After a long while, in the distance on the city wall, I suddenly remembered a louder and louder cheer, which made Liu Fei and Li Guang even more confused.

It wasn't until noon that the news that shocked the world was personally told by Liu Wu, the king of Liang on the corner tower, and the entire Suiyang City was completely immersed in the joy before the victory.

"Taiwei Zhou Yafu sent light cavalry to attack Huaisikou!"

"The rebels' food routes have been cut off, and the retreat has been cut off!!"

"——Liu Bi thief, it's already the end of the road!!"

·

"The King's ······"

"Slow down the king·········"

At the same time, thirty miles east of Suiyang, the Wu Chu rebel army camped.

Looking at Liu Bi, the king of Wu who was weak in his hands and feet, was put into the account by the generals of Wu State around him, lying on the king's couch with a dead face, Tian Lubo, the general of Wu State, only fell into a long stunned state.

is the pioneer general Huan Ba, looking at Liu Bi's appearance, he doesn't know what to do.

Coach Tian Lubo and Pioneer Huan Ba are like this, and the rest of the generals of Wu are naturally even more careless;

Just gathered around Liu Bi's couch, silent for a long time, and finally saw Liu Bi on the couch, sitting up a little under the support of Prince Wu.

In those sloppy and dim eyes, I can no longer see the slightest 'Eastern Emperor's demeanor and domineering······

"Zhou Yafu sent Han Rongdang to capture Huaisikou ······"

"Huaishui and Surabaya have also thawed;"

"The grain and grass of the army can no longer be transported to Suiyang City·········

The low, mournful tone made all the people in the tent bow their heads deeply;

Although he didn't say anything, the words 'big things are over' written on everyone's face.

——In this era, grain and grass, or grain road, is the most basic guarantee foundation for military morale and morale!

If there is a shortage of food and grass in the army for more than three days, the soldiers will complain, and after five days, the morale of the army will begin to slump.

And 'the grain route is broken', which will crush the morale of all the troops of the army in one fell swoop;

If it is not handled properly, it will cause the entire army to lose more than eighty percent of its combat effectiveness······

"This Han is too insidious!"

"-Just capture Huaisikou, and actually drive the defeated troops of Huaisikou to the outside of the camp!"

"Thousands of defeated soldiers poured into the camp, but I am afraid that at this moment, the loss of Huaisikou has spread throughout the entire camp······"

Seeing that all the generals in the tent lowered their heads and said nothing, Liu Ju, the prince of Wu, had to step forward and say a word resentfully;

But when he saw the king couch, Liu Bi was full of despair and pinned his head to the inside of the king couch.

"The grain road is broken······

"Just wait for the food and grass in the army to be cut off, and the army will collapse at the touch of ······"

"Everything is over······"

"Everything ······"

"Ahem, ahem, ······"

After three or two sentences, Liu Bi coughed lightly, and the blood that had just been wiped off the corners of his mouth also dyed Liu Bi's beard under the jaw a little scarlet again.

Seeing that Liu Bi was so depressed, the people in the tent will look at me, and I will look at you;

In the end, it was a slightly older veteran who stood up and tried to give up his hand to Liu Bi.

"The King;"

"Why don't you retreat first?"

"Although Han Yidang captured Huaisikou, since it was a light cavalry raid, he definitely didn't have too many troops."

"The king led the army back to Huaisikou, and he will definitely be able to ······"

"-No~"

"-Can't be refunded~~~"

"-······ must not retreat"

Unexpectedly, before the old general's voice fell, he was held in the arms of the crown prince, lying weakly on the couch, and Liu Bi, the king of Wu, whose eyes were still gloomy, shook his head with a miserable smile.

"The retreat is not really used for retreat;"

"It is used to consolidate the morale of the army, so that the soldiers can have no worries and concentrate on attacking Suiyang's ······"

"There are only two options for the outnumbered army to lead the army west;"

"—Or, even the battle; Or, stop moving······"

"Once you retreat, the army will immediately be scattered, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be scattered as birds ······and beasts."

As he said this, Liu Bi twisted his body slightly, lay down in the arms of the crown prince, and cast his dull and empty gaze on the top of the military tent.

"Huaisikou, it is impossible to recapture ······"

"The army's food route has been cut off, and the retreat route has been cut off;"

"The morale of the soldiers is weak, and it is only a matter of three or five days."

"Suiyang in the west, with the reinforcements brought by Gongzifei, it is difficult to break through;"

"In Changyi in the north, Zhou Yafu cleared the wilderness, dug trenches, cast barriers, and operated for a long time, but there was no hope of breaking through·······"

"Huh······"

"-The widow finally knows, why did Zhou Yafu garrison Changyi early, and he couldn't hold out······"

"It turns out that it is Huaisikou ·······"

"Huaisikou ··········"

After a few more extremely miserable sighs, Liu Bi finally closed his eyes in despair, turned his body, and turned his back directly to the generals in the tent;

Although he didn't speak, this posture of despairing was clearly giving up treatment.

Seeing the news that Liu Bi had been 'lost at Huaisikou' and crushed all his ambitions, Liu Ju, the crown prince of Wu, was full of pleading eyes, and only locked on the general Tian Lubo and the vanguard general Huan Ba.

Just the extreme misery in his eyes, and the humble plea that he couldn't kneel and kowtow, made Tian Lubo and Huan Ba bow their heads weakly, and they didn't dare to look directly at Liu Ju's deep eyes.

Liu Bi, that's right······

Huaisikou is not only a military grain transit station to ensure the supply of grain and grass for the army, but also a crucial pass on the retreat route of the army.

It is indeed as Liu Bi said: the 'retreat' of Huaisikou is not really used for retreat;

Rather, it was used to reassure the rebel soldiers, so that the army would advance westward with high morale.

Now, Huaisikou has been lost, the army has no way to retreat, and the army's heart is shaken;

In a few days, the grain and grass in the army will be exhausted, and new grain and grass will not be able to be delivered for a long time, and the mighty 300,000-strong Wu-Chu coalition army will surely collapse······

"Huaisikou ······"

"Huaisikou ·········"

"Retreat ······"

"Grain Road ·········"

Feeling the increasingly sad gaze of the crown prince Liu Ju, and Liu Bi's miserable back full of despair, the general Tian Lubo frowned, and his face was like water;

He let out a few thoughtful mutters, and secretly made up his mind, Tian Lubo finally took two steps forward and walked to the king's couch where Liu Bi was located in the expectation of the crown prince Liu Ju and the generals of Wu State in the tent.

"The King."

"The matter has come to this point, there is only one way left, and there is only one way to turn things around!"

Tian Lubo's solemn tone only provoked the crown prince Liu Ju to take a deep breath, and hurriedly lowered his head, looking at Liu Bi, the king of Wu, who was in his arms and whose breathing rhythm obviously stopped.

As for the generals in the tent, and even the pioneer general Huan Ba, they all cast their eyes on gains and losses to reveal their desperate backs at Liu Bi at that moment.

After a while, I saw Liu Bi on the king's couch sit up suddenly, although he still coughed lightly, but on his face, he also regained a little fighting spirit.

"There is still a way?!"

"Also····· Ahem, ahem! ”

"What else can be done!"

"Hurry up and !!"

Seeing that Liu Bi finally cheered up, the general Tian Lubo did not dare to delay at all, and hurriedly focused on his head.

When every gaze in the tent was locked on him with anticipation, Tian Lubo's temperament also gave birth to an inexplicable and terrifying determination!

"King!"

"In the current situation, if the king does not take action, it means that the retreat of the army will be cut off and the grain route will be cut off."

"But a few decades ago, there were also successful cases of generals who led the army and took the initiative to cut off their retreats and food routes, and lived to death!"

"If the king can cheer up and turn the disadvantage of cutting off the grain road into a fighting spirit like Xiang Ji breaking the kettle and Han Xin's fighting against the water, then there will still be a glimmer of life in the king's affairs!!"

The solemn words only made Liu Bi's face sink suddenly, and his expression became more and more serious.

After thinking about it for a long time, I saw Liu Bi slowly get up from the king's couch and sweep his gaze over the people in the tent.

"The widow has reached the point of nine deaths and one life!"

"The emperor of Chang'an has also issued an edict a long time ago: for those who raise troops to 'make trouble', it is necessary to kill more people in depth!"

"Widowed, there is no way back for a long time;"

"Soldiers, there is no way out······

The low tone made all the generals in the tent raise their heads one after another, and after only a moment, they each looked at Liu Bi, the king of Wu, with a firm expression.

also knew that at this time, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, exuded the last trace of kingly aura in his life.

"Pass the order!"

"-Huaisikou, it was deliberately thrown to Han Dang by the widow!"

"The purpose is to let Zhou Yafu of Changyi divide his troops!"

"Now, less than half of the Han army in Changyi is left!"

"Tonight, the army will reduce its troops and increase its strength, and turn north!"

"Before dawn tomorrow, be sure to appear in Changyi, there is a horn for attack!!

The sound of the command, which was full of energy, made the generals in the tent involuntarily straighten their waists and bow their hands to Liu Biao in unison.

"!!"

With a bang, it finally lifted the sky above the rebel camp, and the despair that shrouded everyone's hearts was slightly dissipated.

On the evening of the same day, the rebels quietly retreated from Suiyang City, ran all night, and headed towards Changyi, where Zhou Yafu was located;

But everything seems to have been sealed at the moment when Han Yan stepped on the snow and broke through the rebel Huaisi camp······

There is one more more
