As for the matter of escaping, Li Xiong is seriously considering.

First of all, with the current situation, the county town of Xiangyang is besieged, and the Vietnamese soldiers are pressing the border, and I don't know if they can hold it.

On the side of Xichuan County, Lu Yuan also led the army to sneak attack from the rear, and now he has captured most of Xichuan County, cutting off the back road of their entire 100,000 army.

Now the other side is guarding the fortified city, and the rear reinforcements are endless.

The 100,000 people on his side have been cut off, and even because of the loss of Yuzhong City, even grain and grass are scarce.

What are the consequences of the lack of food and grass?

Just look at the previous Wu'anhou.

Even Bai Mengyang and other figures, when they were guarding Yuzhong Mansion before, because the Miao people captured Baling County and cut off the back grain route, they finally lost their morale, were beaten and fled, and ran back to Tianmen Mansion alone.

Li Xiong didn't think that he and Wushan Mansion, that Zhou Houzhu General Yu Wenchong was comparable to Bai Mengyang.

And what even Wu Anhou, the god of war, can't do, the two of them can't do.

Therefore, Xichuan County has become a desperate situation.

Continue to stay here, and when the Yue people have gathered their strength, the food and grass on their side will be completely cut off, and the army will begin to disperse, and the enemy will be killing at that time, but it will really be a life and death crisis.

Therefore, although he directly gave up the foundation of Xichuan County, Li Xiong was very unwilling.

This Emperor of Western Shu, no, should be called the King of Shu now.

Since he took refuge in the Zhou people, in order not to collide with the emperor of Zhou, Li Xiong has already gone to the emperor and demoted himself to the king.

And not only that, even the big and small affairs of Xichuan County, with the arrival of the Zhou people, have gradually fallen out of Li Xiong's control.

For this king of Shu, in addition to the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers under his hands, he can still command the move.

Other prefectures and counties, and even officials in the court, were all controlled by the Zhou people.

Li Xiong is nominally the king of Shu, but in fact, he has already become a puppet, but he is just a general who commands tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

It is precisely because of this that his foundation has long been lost, so it is extremely happy to give up now.

Compared to dying here, losing everything.

At this time, he lost these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but Li Xiong himself was still an innate grandmaster.

With this kind of strength, wherever you go, you can dominate one side.

'Even I can go to the southwest Yi side, find a small barbarian country, and directly dominate it, which can also be called the king's side. ’

Thinking like this, Li Xiong's heart suddenly moved.

Rather than being a puppet here, or even risking death in battle, it is better to go away and be at ease.

Talk about an innate grandmaster for yourself, why should you be trapped in such a place of death.

The more he thought about it, the more he was moved.

However, despite this, Li Xiong was still a little hesitant to directly abandon the tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers under his command and abandon the hundreds of thousands of Qiang people.

After all, those are his relatives, and they are his most trusted subordinates, and they are lost like this at this time, and this decision is not so easy to make.

"That's it, let's try to fight a dozen first, and see the follow-up results."

Li Xiong suppressed the urge to leave immediately, and sighed: "Anyway, if I really want to escape, with my strength, as long as I don't find Lu Yuan and the others by myself, it will not be difficult to escape from the chaotic army."

In the end, I was born in the Qiang tribe, and I can achieve what I am today, and it all depends on the support of these people.

Abandon them at this time, after all, I can't bear it. ”

With the last bit of conscience in his heart, Li Xiong let out a long sigh, and then turned around and went down the hillside.

After a busy day, 50,000 Zhou and Shu coalition troops finally set up camp outside the city of Yuzhongfu.

After gaining a firm foothold, Li Xiong transferred 10,000 troops and began to try to attack the city of Yuzhongfu.

However, after rushing several times, thousands of people were killed and wounded, but they did not even approach the city gate, and were driven back halfway up the mountainside.

Seeing that the siege of the city was in vain, but their own casualties were heavy, and the retreat of the rear had been lost, the coalition army was greatly depressed.

Fortunately, Li Xiong's prestige is okay and can be maintained.

The next day, he continued to send 20,000 troops, and gave gold and silver rewards on the spot, so that the soldiers took turns to take over, and attacked Yuzhong Fucheng.

This time, the soldiers of the Zhou-Shu coalition army also knew that the situation was critical.

If they don't take down the city of Yuzhong and recapture the food in the city, then they will all die without a place to bury. In addition, Li Xiong gave a heavy reward, so this time the siege of the city, the soldiers also worked hard.

Several times, they were even allowed to fight outside the city, and even attacked the city.

In the end, Lu Yuan had to personally take action and kill thousands of people with his innate strength, so that this wave of offensive could be repulsed.

During this period, Li Xiong shrank in the rear, sitting and watching his soldiers being slaughtered by Lu Yuan at will, and he didn't dare to come up to stop him.

Such actions suddenly caused the Zhou Shu coalition army, which had finally recovered, to plummet again.

The coach was cowardly and afraid to fight.

What kind of strength do they have when they fight?

Not to mention Lu Yuan's divine power, the Innate Grandmaster dealt with these ordinary soldiers, it was really as easy as slaughter.

Li Xiong was so frightened that he didn't dare to fight, and the soldiers under him naturally followed suit and began to be afraid of battle.

Therefore, on the third day, when Li Xiong again gathered 20,000 troops and sent them to attack the city.

These soldiers of the Zhou-Shu coalition army fought perfunctorily.

It was just recharged a few times, and then after the defenders resisted so much that it was difficult to attack, they threw down more than 2,000 corpses and fled down the mountain.

The morale of these enemies is no longer useful.

On the fourth day, more than 20,000 newly recruited people in the rear of Lu Yuan, the first batch of more than 10,000 people at this time, finally rushed to Yuzhong Mansion City in the starry night. The defenders of the city grew to 30,000.

After discovering that the reinforcements arrived, he also knew that the morale of the troops below was low and he was no longer worthy of the war.

Li Xiong did not continue to attack the city, but retreated into the camp established at the foot of the mountain, and adopted a strategy of holding out.

On the sixth day, several nearby rebel armies led more than 7,000 people to Yuzhong Fucheng.

On the seventh day, the remaining more than 10,000 people arrived in Yuzhong.

On the eighth and ninth days, Tongchuan Liu Ming and other local rebels arrived one after another.

On the fifteenth, after exterminating two rebel armies that did not obey orders in the rear, Zhou Qing led more than 10,000 newly recruited warriors and 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands to rush to Yuzhong Fucheng.

At this time, inside and outside the entire Yuzhong Mansion City, the soldiers and horses under Lu Yuan's hands had grown to nearly 100,000 people, and the momentum could be described as extremely prosperous.

The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the military spirit is available.

Therefore, on the sixteenth day, they changed their defensive position, opened the door and lined up, mobilized those rebel vassals who had gathered, and let them begin to storm the camp under the mountain.

There were almost 30,000 of these rebel vassals, and Lu Yuan ordered them to take turns on the battlefield and constantly attack the enemy's camp.

During this period, there were even several rebellions due to heavy casualties, and finally more than 1,000 people were killed before they were suppressed.

After three days of such a strong attack and breaking through the enemy's outlying camps, Lu Yuan withdrew the rebel army with less than 10,000 people left after several days of fighting.

Then he mobilized the people he had recruited, a total of more than 40,000 people, personally led them, and continued to storm the enemy camp.

After two days of fighting, more than half of the camps of the Zhou-Shu coalition army were captured, and even counting the previous few days, these enemy troops lost more than 20,000 soldiers and horses.

But during this period, Li Xiong still did not emerge.

And the resistance of the Zhou-Shu coalition army is also declining day by day.

And so the time came, and it came to the twenty-first day.

Early in the morning.

The horns sounded in Yuzhong City, and a large number of elites gathered and began to go outside the city.

Lu Yuan stood on the city tower, looked at the foot of the mountain from a high place, looked at the enemy camp that had been reduced in a circle, turned back to his disciple Zhou Qing and said: "In the recent months of the battle, the enemy army in front of me has fought with me one after another, but its commander has not moved.

According to the captured soldiers, it was Li Xiong, the puppet lord of Shu, who commanded the enemy forces outside the city.

But with his innate body, he sat back and watched me make a move and slaughtered his subordinates.

Although I don't know why this is the case, but after fighting for so many days, the enemy has lost more than half of its soldiers and horses, and there are less than 30,000 people left, and the morale has declined to the extreme.

Such a situation is a good opportunity to defeat the enemy.

Later, I personally took the risk of losing and led the elite to break the formation. You command the army behind and follow closely.

Today I will defeat the enemy in front of me in one fell swoop. ”

Zhou Qing looked at the high-spirited master, and the whole person was also infected, and said loudly: "Master, if you go forward to kill, the disciple will lead the soldiers and horses, and he will not fall behind." ”

Lu Yuan laughed: "Okay, then today I will let you and my master and apprentice defeat this thief together." ”

So saying, one of them jumped off the tower and landed on the horses that had been prepared at the gate of the city.

"Let's go!"

With a wave of his whip, the horse galloped, and his hooves flew forward.

Behind him were dozens of knights, following closely.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing also turned around and went down the city tower and began to act.

Lu Yuan had already begun to charge the village, and he had to arrange a large army as soon as possible to keep up with him, so as not to let his master fall into the encirclement of the enemy.

Drums rumble, flags hunt.

Outside the enemy camp ahead, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses have been assembled, and more people are still coming from the mountains.

Lu Yuan rode a horse, galloped to a hundred steps before the enemy's camp, and then transported his true qi and shouted: "Lu Yuan is here, Li Xiong, dare to go out of the camp to fight with me?" ”

The sound was like thunder, and in an instant it spread through the surrounding wilderness.

It could be heard not only by the soldiers outside, but also in most of the enemy camp.

However, in the face of this invitation, the defenders on the wall in the enemy's camp looked at it for a while, and looked behind them from time to time, as if they were waiting for something?

But I waited left and right, but I couldn't wait for the person I wanted to see.

So everyone suddenly knew that their own commander was cowardly again.

Although there are many people who can understand that in the face of the mighty King of Changsha, it is normal for his own commander not to dare to fight with him.

But when the two armies are fighting, the commander behaves like this, in the eyes of everyone, it is incompetent.

Therefore, some Zhou soldiers scolded at this time.

"What bullshit King Shu, he is so afraid of the enemy that he doesn't even dare to show his face. This bit of guts, what is the king of Shu, I think it is the king of the rat. ”

"The brothers fought hard day after day, carrying the innate master of the thief, and they had to fight hard. That Li Xiong thief, as a congenital, didn't even dare to show his face, and only watched us ordinary people die. Everyone gave him his life, and he really wronged himself. ”

"The thieves outside the city gathered elite soldiers, and Lu Yuan appeared again, it seems that he is still ready to do it himself, and this time thousands of people will die, which is really bitter. I don't know who is going to die this time? ”

"Damn, I don't want to fight. As far as Li Xiong is concerned, he really deserves to lose the land of Xishu. ”

All of the above is reasonable.

And some other rough people who have no culture just began to ask Li Xiong's relatives and even ancestors and descendants in the later period.

Listening to these ugly words, there were many Qiang soldiers next to those Zhou people, and their faces were a little ugly.

The king of the Qiang tribe was so insulted, which was really difficult for many people to accept.

But what Zhou people scolded is still very reasonable.

As far as Li Xiong's behavior these days is concerned, to be honest, not only the Zhou people, but even those low-level Qiang soldiers want to scold twice.

It's just that because of the affection and the fear of the natural noble species in their hearts, they don't dare to say it.

I didn't dare to say it, and I listened to Zhou people scolding at this time. Seriously, many Qiang people still listen to it quite cool.

However, after scolding, the morale of the entire coalition soldiers fell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The thieves were about to launch a strong attack, looking at the men and horses they dispatched this time, one by one they were wearing armor and sharp, obviously elite soldiers, and the leader was Lu Yuan, the killing god.

On his side, Li Xiong, the only commander who could resist the other party, was afraid to fight.

In such a situation, they really don't know what to do to resist.

Does it really make sense to even resist like this?

This confusion arises in the hearts of many people.

When the soldiers of the Zhou and Qiang people were confused in their hearts, Lu Yuan, who was outside the city, shouted two more words of invitation to battle.

Then after seeing that there was still no response, he no longer continued to invite the battle, but directly waved his hand and gave the order, and the army attacked the village.

He himself rode his horse forward directly, took the lead, and led the charge to the camp.

Seeing that the horns and drums sounded outside, and tens of thousands of enemies were killed, the soldiers in the camp didn't care about thinking about life, so they hurriedly instinctively helped Zhang Gong and arrows and began to fight back.

However, if the arrow is missed, how can Lu Yuan be injured?

I saw him charge forward, and several balls of Chiyang True Fire manifested, and anything that approached around him was burned by the True Fire, and he couldn't get close at all.

It's just a hundred paces away, but it's just a blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, the Zhai Qiang blocking in front of him had been burned by the real fire, and Lu Yuan jumped into the enemy's camp with a leap of his horse.

Within a radius of more than ten zhang, dozens of enemy soldiers were reduced to ashes.

After that, Lu Yuan rushed left and right, but in a short time, more than 200 enemy soldiers were killed.

When the other enemy troops around them saw this, they were already extremely demoralized, and they no longer had the courage to resist, so they turned around and fled.

Then this kind of rout quickly spread.

The coalition soldiers, who had long been dissatisfied with Li Xiong, didn't want to sell their lives to the other party at all at this time, and when they saw that they couldn't fight anymore, they all chose to turn around and flee for their lives.

Some even laid down their arms and surrendered to the Changsha army.

Except for some Qiang tribe loyalists, no one is willing to fight.

And for these diehards, they were naturally targeted by Lu Yuan.

After shuttling through the battlefield several times, these remaining more than 1,000 Qiang soldiers were quickly cleaned up by him.

Then Lu Yuan didn't stop, but went straight to the enemy's Chinese army tent and began to look for Li Xiong, the commander of the enemy army who had not shown his face since the start of the war.

However, when he arrived at the Chinese army's tent, Lu Yuan found that the building had long been empty, and Li Xiong was nowhere to be seen.

grabbed a few defeated soldiers nearby and inquired, only to learn that when Lu Yuan invited to fight, Li Xiong used the excuse to go out of the camp to inspect, and then with some Li Xiong's cronies in the camp, I don't know where to go.

"Did you escape?"

When Lu Yuan heard this result, he was also a little incredulous.

He never expected that Li Xiong would be regarded as a hero and once dominated Xichuan. Now it has degenerated to such an extent that not only fearing the enemy without fighting, but even fleeing from the wind.

Just hearing the voice of his invitation to fight, the person was so frightened that he ran away with the person.

This made him angry and laughing, but he couldn't help but feel stunned, and some strange emotions arose in his heart.

"Could it be that I, Lu someone, have reached such a level of prestige that I can let an innate grandmaster escape without a fight?"

At this moment, Lu Yuan can basically be sure that Li Xiong has not shown up for most of the past half a month, because he is afraid of himself.

And this discovery naturally made him proud and proud, and at the same time gave birth to some doubts?

Could it be that I, Lu someone, am so awesome?

That's an innate grandmaster.

can make an innate grandmaster flee from the wind, think about it carefully, in Lu Yuan's impression, there is only one example.

That is, when the Liuyang faction Yin Huixuan went south to Lingnan, Yan Wangqiu was afraid of the other party's reputation, and directly before Yin Huixuan's arrival, he left the Nanhai faction under the pretext of not daring to meet the other party.

But the conditions at that time, first, Yin Huixuan was a master of the innate second realm, and he was the first person in the martial arts of the Yue Kingdom.

The second is that Yan Wangqiu is old and decrepit, and he is already in the last years of his life, so he can't fight at all.

In this case, it is understandable that the other party is fleeing from the wind. People who are familiar with the inside story will not say anything if they know about it.

But now, Lu Yuan is only the first realm of congenital nature, and even the time to break through the innate is shorter than Li Xiong, and he can be regarded as a junior.

But Li Xiong, a senior, didn't even dare to fight when facing Lu Yuan, a junior, and fled directly.

Even with Lu Yuan's previous achievements, after this matter spreads, Li Xiong will definitely be ashamed, ridiculed and despised by many innate grandmasters, and disdainful of being with him.

After thinking deeply about this confusion in his heart, Lu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the surprise and excitement in his heart, and finally confirmed one thing.

That is, after he killed two innate beings in a row, the prestige he has accumulated now is indeed far beyond his previous imagination.

This kind of deterrent is already big enough to affect the situation of a party's battle.

Li Xiong's escape from the wind is a clear example.

Even counting this person, with the contribution of the other party, he has the achievements of scaring off an innate grandmaster just by relying on his reputation. It is conceivable that after this matter spreads, Lu Yuan's prestige will rise to a higher level.

"Overall, this thing is good for me."

Lu Yuan figured this out, looked at the prisoners who were kneeling down around him, and the whole person was in a good mood.

Not only happy for his victory, but also happy for his own achievements, and happy for his prestige.

……

On March 16 of the eighth year of Hongdao, Lu Yuan, the king of Changsha, led an army of 100,000 to fight with the Zhou and Shu coalition forces in the city of Yuzhongfu, and broke it.

In this battle, 30,000 were beheaded and 20,000 were captured. The thief general Li Xiong, the king of Shu, abandoned the army and fled, nowhere to be found.

Subsequently, the king of Changsha took advantage of the great victory to lead his troops eastward and regain Linjiang Mansion.

On March 20, the army arrived at Wushan Mansion, conquered the city of Fucheng, and approached Wushan Pass, encircling the remaining 30,000 Zhou troops in the pass.

Yuwen Chong, the commander of the Zhou army in Guannei, got the news and was afraid that he would be besieged and killed by Lu Yuan and Shangguan Ming and other four innate masters, so he followed in the footsteps of Lian Yun and Zhang Chanyi.

also learned from Li Xiong, abandoned the army and fled that night.

So on the second day, after the Zhou army found out that the commander had fled, the army was in turmoil.

After some confusion, several temporary principals discussed and felt that there was no need to fight.

So everyone unanimously decided to open the city and surrender.

On March 23, the eighth year of Hongdao, 30,000 Zhou troops surrendered at Wushan Pass, and Lu Yuan and Shangguan Ming led troops into the city, and Wushan Guanke.

So far, since Lu Yuan led his troops to a surprise attack, it took two months, and the goal was finally achieved.

Not only was Xichuan completely lost, but the 100,000 Zhou-Shu coalition troops entrenched in Wushan Pass were also destroyed.

The coalition forces achieved their second major victory since the Northern Expedition.
