The 30,000 Jiaozhou soldiers combined with the nearly 40,000 Xizhou troops in the city were dispatched, and the two sides were in contact, and the armies under Lin Long and Zhao Ying were defeated and retreated all the way.

It stands to reason that even if the opponent's forces are superior, they will not be so embarrassed, but the appearance of 30,000 Jiaozhou soldiers is too sudden, and Zhao Ying and Lin Long are completely caught off guard.

In addition, in the central city, more and more troops suddenly appeared, which can be regarded as defeating the last psychological defense line of the two armies, and when they hit the back, they can only retreat all the way.

Even their commander couldn't figure out where this army came from, let alone them.

The reason for this is also simple, 30,000 Jiaozhou soldiers can appear, it is impossible to bypass the two counties of Manghuang and Guangyang, but to enter the Xizhou clan land through Xiacang.

It's just that their actions are very cautious and strict all the way, except for Su Qi'an and Luo Qingyuan, the rest of the high-level people don't know about it.

Not to mention Lin Long and Zhao Ying, obviously they didn't know so much about the terrain of Jiaozhou entering Xizhou, which gave Su Qi'an an an opportunity to silently transfer troops.

In order not to leak the rumors, this time the troops were dispatched, and the Jiaozhou soldiers dispatched 50,000 troops, divided 20,000 troops, and attacked Manghuang and Guangyang with great momentum.

This gave Zhao Ying and Lin Long the all-out onslaught without any worries, and at the same time, the 30,000 Jiaozhou soldiers who divided the troops quickly entered the clan land from Xiacang.

In order to buy time for the Jiaozhou soldiers to ambush, Su Qi'an, Zhao Ying, and Lin Long fought face-to-face, and the same was true of the so-called peace talks later.

As for why there are more and more Xizhou soldiers in the city, it is mainly the militia of the clan land.

When taking the two prefectures of Xixi and Jiaozhou, Su Qi'an not only established militias in various counties and counties, but also established militias in Heilu and the indigenous people.

In peacetime, they are like ordinary people, cultivating silently, and once there is a war, or the situation is urgent, they will be conscripted as soon as possible, which is why the Xizhou soldiers are fighting more and more.

Don't underestimate the militia that has been established, except for the weapons in their hands, they are not as good as the regular army, but the training in peacetime is basically the same as the regular army.

With such a group of reserve troops, the regular army can also be replenished as soon as possible, and it can be quickly put into battle, but it seems that Zhao Ying and Lin Long don't know much about these.

It is reasonable to suffer such a big loss.

The originally menacing Jinzhou and Zhaozhou armies, under the counterattack of the Xizhou and Heilu armies, were beaten and lost their armor and were embarrassed.

If there were no surprises, the two armies of about 50,000 people would basically be eaten.

But at this moment, Lin Long exerted his talents, led by example, and even organized a stormtrooper, he served as the captain, and under his leadership, the two armies that were surrounded and could not break out of the encirclement immediately burst into strong vitality.

Under the leadership of the 5,000-strong stormtrooper, he forcibly tore a breath, and the soldiers behind him, like fish, rushed out.

Even if the Jiaozhou soldiers and Xizhou soldiers desperately blocked it, they did not stop it in the face of the soldiers who burst out with strong vitality and had a huge thirst for life.

After half an hour of fierce fighting, the stormtroopers lost more than 4,000 people, but they still broke through.

The Jiaozhou soldiers and Xizhou soldiers chased after each other all the way, and soon disappeared from Su Qi'an's sight.

Canterlot, which had been mired in fierce fighting, returned to calm with the departure of both sides.

Several chiefs on the city tower looked at this scene, their faces were excited, they actually won this battle, and the other party lost their armor and retreated all the way.

It seems that it will not be long before they are eliminated.

Compared with the excitement of several chiefs, Su Qi'an and Luo Qingyuan were very calm, which seemed to be what he expected.

Looking at the team in the distance, Su Qi'an turned his head and cleaned up the battlefield against the soldiers who stayed in the city.

As for chasing Zhao Ying and Lin Long, it seems that there is no hurry at all.

Seeing this, the subordinates did not say anything, immediately retreated, and began to organize people to clean up the battlefield.

And Su Qi'an and Luo Qingyuan did not leave, they stood on the city tower like this, as if they were waiting for something.

It took about an hour to stop at this stop, and finally a group of cavalry came quickly, apparently to send back the news.

"Report to the prince, the governor of the state, and several chiefs, I pursued and counterattacked all the way, but the enemy was too stubborn, and he still fled into the county town of Hanzhong."

"It seems that we want to resist our pursuit with the county town of Hanzhong, and now the two armies of Xizhou and Jiaozhou have retreated to a safe distance in accordance with the instructions of the prince, confronted them, and are camping to rest, waiting for the next attack at any time."

"How many casualties we have in this battle." Luo Qingyuan asked on the side.

"Lord Huizhou, our side has suffered 10,000 casualties, the enemy has suffered 20,000 casualties, and now there are less than 20,000 remnants in Hanzhong County."

"How is the war in Guangyang?" Luo Qingyuan asked again.

"Lord Hui, the defenders of Guangyang and Guangyang were defeated by the Jiaozhou soldiers, and the wilderness has been recovered, and now Guangyang is fully besieged, and the follow-up Jiaozhou has sent 10,000 troops to reinforce the wilderness again, recover Guangyang, and exterminate this branch army is just around the corner."

Luo Qingyuan nodded, waved his hand, signaled his subordinates to retreat, and looked at Su Qi'an on the side.

"Qi'an boy, counting the 10,000 troops being dispatched, Jiaozhou has already sent 60,000 troops, and now Jiaozhou is estimated to be only 20,000 people, and they are all militiamen.

"Luo Lao rest assured, 20,000 militia is enough, there are also militias in Xizhou, Luo Lao should be clear about their strength, and the 10,000 Jiaozhou soldiers who sent troops to reinforce them, their task is not only to reinforce Guangyang."

"If at this time, there are people who don't open their eyes and want to make trouble in Jiaozhou, then these people don't know the Jiaozhou militia very well."

Listening to Su Qi'an's playful words, Luo Qingyuan's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something, and said with a smile, "Hehe, you are still a little tricky, but the old man underestimates you." ”

If the two of them didn't understand anything, several chiefs behind them also smiled and agreed, for them, what happened in Jiaozhou was far less important than Xizhou at the moment.

Don't look at this battle, a beautiful counterattack does not mean a complete recovery of Xizhou.

After all, the other party still has 20,000 remnants of soldiers, and there is Hanzhong County in his hand, even if he doesn't go out and waits for help, it will be difficult to break through Hanzhong County for a while.

But Su Qi'an actually let the pursuing Xizhou and Jiaozhou armies stop and set up camp, which is really incomprehensible.

As the saying goes, the counterattack is a momentum, and under the defeat of the opponent all the way, they can take advantage of the victory to pursue, even if the casualties are greater, but under the high fighting spirit, it is still very certain to take the county seat of Hanzhong.

But it stopped, this kind of high momentum will quickly dissipate and stabilize, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, this is the truth.

They really didn't understand this order, and after hesitating for a moment, they finally opened their mouths.

"The subordinates took the liberty of disturbing the conversation between the prince and the state pastor, but the subordinates still have something to say, and they don't vomit or be unhappy..."

"The big chief wants to say, why didn't this king stop at once, isn't this giving Zhao Ying and Lin Long a chance to breathe, right?"

After being pointed out, the big chief did not hesitate and nodded heavily, in their opinion, Su Qi'an's order was very unreasonable.

Once the other party relaxes his breath, and Hanzhong County is very close to Jinju, there is no need to guess at all, as long as his brain is still normal, he will ask for reinforcements.

You must know that there are 100,000 Jinju troops, and only half of the Jinju troops sent this time.

Moreover, Su Zhe has rightfully ascended the throne as emperor, and he has already expanded his army on a large scale, who knows how many troops there will be on his territory.

If you wait for Jinzhou to send reinforcements, it is basically impossible to completely drive Zhao Ying and Lin Long out of Xizhou.

With Su Zhe's temperament, he will definitely announce to the world and ask the states to crusade, and then it will be the most dangerous time for Xizhou.

Even they saw this order, that is, to let the tiger return to the mountain, they didn't believe that Su Qi'an didn't even understand such a simple reason.

Seeing the three of them clasping their fists in unison with a sincere attitude, Su Qi'an couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe, it's rare to see that the three chiefs can think so long-term, and they can unite as one, not sticking to the clan land, but considering Xizhou, this king is very pleased."

The faces of the three chiefs changed, showing embarrassed looks, they were indeed a little narrow-minded before, but in the face of major rights and wrongs, the truth of cold lips and teeth is still clear.

Without waiting for the three of them to speak, Su Qi'an said again, "Hehe, the three chiefs don't worry, this king does this, he has his own arrangement of this king, rest assured, even if Zhao Ying and Lin Long run into Hanzhong County, they can't escape from Xizhou, their lives, this king wants them." ”

……

At the same time, the 20,000 remnants of the pursuing soldiers who lost their armor fled into the county town of Hanzhong and finally took a breath.

In this battle, the two armies suffered 30,000 casualties before and after, which can be said to be most of the damage, and the high fighting spirit that was originally full of war was demoralized long ago, and everyone's eyes were full of despair.

Fortunately, with Lin Long's appeasement, coupled with the pursuing Jiaozhou and Xizhou armies, they did not continue to attack the city, but camped down, which made the soldiers who fell into despair stable and stable.

After calming the mood of the generals, Lin Long calmed his face, wore bloody armor on his body, and went straight to the county mansion without saying a word.

The henchmen who followed behind him, their faces were silent, and their hearts were beating wildly, they knew that Lin Long at this time was the most about to break out, and when he would raise his sword to kill, no one dared to say a word, and followed silently.

Lin Long strode all the way through and came to a room in the county government, and there was only one person in the room, Zhao Ying.

At this time, Zhao Ying's face was ugly, restless, and he kept pacing, watching Lin Long coming, Zhao Ying's face changed, and he quickly regained his calm, squeezed out a few smiles on his face, stepped forward to greet him, and just wanted to say something.

Poof!

The long sword on Lin Long's waist was unsheathed and inserted in front of Zhao Ying, this action startled Zhao Ying.

The hilt of the sword shook violently, and at the same time, Lin Long's cold, almost indifferent voice sounded.

"Zhao Ying, kill yourself!"
