The ambush soldiers appeared, the sound of killing shook the sky, the Liang army had already prepared, so it did not appear panicked, but seeing that the Jin army was brave and had reinforcements, how could ordinary soldiers understand this, the cowardice in their hearts had already been born for three points.

The remnant sun is like blood, and the earth of millions of corpses seems to complement each other, both sides have been slightly tired after a day of fighting, but neither side dares to order a retreat, as long as one person turns around, there are ten people, hundreds of thousands of people, and then it will be dispersed.

Both armies are desperately trying to devour each other's courage.

"Report, marshal," a soldier saluted.

"Hmm, there's an emergency?" Xiao Xian said worriedly.

"Marshal, there is a scout captain of the forward battalion who has important information to report. ”

"Well, just let me come!"

"However, this scout is coming from the west, not from the direction of the battlefield. ”

"Well, bring it here!" the soldier behind him immediately drew his sword and stood guard.

A horse galloped from the direction of the battlefield and said: "Lord Wang, the Jin Kingdom ambushed soldiers in all directions, and I don't know how many people and horses there are all over the mountains, our army, our army is slightly behind." ”

Xiao Xian ordered: "Guangbei, lead the Chinese army of 15,000 people, all of them are pressed up." ”

"Lord Wang, there are only 3,000 armor soldiers and 2,000 logistics infantry left by your side, how can this be done," the general Guangbei replied.

"Report, lord, people have brought it. ”

Xiao Xian saw a ragged soldier kneeling on the ground.

"Who are you?"

"Small...... The small ones are from the Forward Battalion Scout Brigade, and we are in ...... Thirty miles to the northeast, the Jin cavalry was found," the soldier said weakly.

Xiao Xian hurriedly said when he heard this: "How many people?"

"Mountains...... It's all over the mountains, I don't know how many people there are, but listen...... According to the captain, there are at least five thousand. ”

"It's not good, quick, give the order, order the army to retreat. ”

"Yes. ”

"Guangbei, lead 10,000 infantry, line up, and wait for the army to retreat, and you must block the pursuit of the Jin army. ”

"Don't worry. ”

Subsequently, 3,000 heavy infantry lined up to the north.

In less than an hour, I saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky, as if thousands of troops and horses were attacking.

The horn of retreat sounded, the Liang army did not change much, Zhang Chi and Xiao Chuang alternately covered the retreat of the army, and the Jin army with Wang Xuan, Li Chao, Sima Jin, Sima De four generals in hot pursuit.

At this time, a group of cavalry appeared on the flank of the Liang army, and the smoke and dust were billowing I don't know how much, and the Liang army suddenly collapsed.

Directly north of Xiao Xian's rear army, there was also a cavalry, the cavalry galloped to the yellow sand, but the heavy infantry had already been arrayed and defended properly, this cavalry saw that it could not break the formation, and then retreated, and the direction of the Liang army logistics team on the flank of the rear army was full of fire and smoke.

Xiao Chuang saw that the battle situation had taken a turn for the worse, killed several retreating soldiers around him, and a school captain, organized a team of more than 200 people to kill the Jin army, and met with the Jin general Sima De, the two fought for nearly 30 rendezvous, and Sima De was stabbed by Xiao Chuang and the horse.

Xiao Chuang threw his head at the Jin army and shouted, "Who else dares to fight." ”

The Jin army was frightened and did not dare to pursue, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the Jin army rebelled under the leadership of Wang Xuan and Li Chao.

However, the Liang army had stabilized the position during the time that Xiao Chuang had strife, and the 10,000 troops of Guangbei were waiting for the Jin army to attack.

Sima Shi, who was watching from afar, said: "Blow the trumpet, beat the drum, and retreat back to the city." ”

The first lieutenant was puzzled: "Great marshal, the Liang army has been defeated, now is the right time!"

Sima Shi replied: "After a day of fighting, our army is exhausted, and if it cannot be hit with one blow, it will be impossible to expand the results of the battle. ”

After the horn sounded, the two armies retreated, the Jin army retreated to Nanyang City, the Liang army camped fifty miles away, and Liu Ziye still led his cavalry to be stationed on the high ground on the flank of the Liang army.

At this time, the sun had set, and the earth was full of corpses, and the wounded but not dead war horses neighed, like ghosts and dead souls in the night.

After a bloody battle, 70,000 troops from the south of Liangguo Town came, and only 30,000 remnants were left, and the logistics grain and grass were destroyed. The sun has set, the night has fallen, and the brightly lit camp cannot illuminate the sinking morale.

In the big tent of the Liang army, Xiao Xian, the king of Zhennan, shouted sharply: "Zhang Chi, what crime should you be guilty of? As the commander of the forward battalion, are you so arrogant that you don't send scouts to the surrounding highlands?"

Zhang Chi immediately knelt on the ground and said in a panic: "Lord Mingjian, the last general is the general of a battalion, there are auxiliary generals under the last generals, there are staff generals under the generals, and there are captains under the generals. ”

Xiao Xian smashed the wine glass in his hand at Zhang Chi and scolded, "Aren't you negligent?"

Zhang Chi hurriedly said: "It's the last general's dereliction of duty, please punish the prince!"

"Go, call that general in for me. ”

"Yes. ”

Xiao Xian looked at Xiao Chuang and asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

"Father-in-law, please look here," Xiao Chuang walked to the sand table on the side of the big tent and said: "Our army is now only 30,000 left, the grain and grass are destroyed, and the morale is low, and most of the Jin army in Nanyang City and the cavalry on the west side are in a horn situation, no matter which side we attack, we will be attacked by the other side, but in one day of the Jin war, the sum of the inside and outside of the city is definitely not more than 30,000 horses, so the Jin army does not dare to take the initiative to attack." ”

"Go on," Xiao Xian said.

"With our rations, enough to last one to two days, our army should immediately send a number of cavalry, to the surrounding counties to raise food, the southern army of our town garrisoned in various places still have 10,000 defenders, let this 10,000 horses transport grain and grass from all over the place here, according to the distance, fast is one day, slow is seven days, in this way, our army's grain and grass problem can be solved, now the Jin army has become a tiger riding difficult to get down, to Shazhou, Jingnan two places Jiedu envoy led troops to appear in the rear wing of Nanyang, cut off the Jin army grain road, the Jin army will be defeated. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Xian didn't say a word, returned to his seat, pondered for a long time, and said, "Xiao Chuang!"

"Yes," Xiao Chuang said excitedly.

"An hour later, you led an army of 10,000 and withdrew to the area of Zhuojun and Hongdu to defend, and the grain and grass were solved by the locality. ”

"Father-in-law, this ......" Xiao Chuang was puzzled.

"Hurry up and prepare," Xiao Xian snapped.

"Yes," Xiao Chuang reluctantly withdrew from the account.

"Lu Qian, leave two thousand men and horses for himself to be responsible for the break, and hand over the rest to Xu Rang, and retreat to Zhuojun at dawn. ”

"Yes. ”

"Beiguang, Xu Rang, Zhang Chi, return to Hongdu with me," Xiao Xian said sadly.

"Yes. ”

Everyone had doubts, but they did not dare to ask.

At this time, a general knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "The last general...... Yes...... sin, please punish the prince. ”

"What's your name?" Xiao Xian said coldly.

Item...... Xiang Qi. ”

"How many people are there in the department?"

"Inadequate...... There are less than two hundred," Xiang Qi panicked.

"Zhang Chi, how many people are there under your command?"

"There are three generals and seven generals under the command of the last general, and there are not enough soldiers and horses...... Two thousand. ”

Zhang Chi said in his heart: With my father's relationship, the prince should not blame me too much, and he also asked me to return to Hongdu with him, but Xiang Qi couldn't keep it.

"Zhang Chi, make up for Xiang Qi. ”

"Yes, yes. ”

Zhang Chi was about to ask a question, but was interrupted by Xiao Xian waving his hand.

Said: "Xiang Qi, this king decided to launch a surprise attack on the Jin army tonight, you will launch an attack on Nanyang City after an hour, raise more torches, beat more drums, in order to create momentum, this king personally led the troops to annihilate the enemy on the flank, this is a blow to the east and west, if you don't succeed again, this king will not be spared." ”

"Yes, the last general will go and prepare," Xiang Qi said excitedly, and then walked out of the tent.

Everyone understands that this strange is the substitute ghost for the Liang army's retreat.

At night, the sky was full of fire outside Nanyang City, Liu Ziye led the army to kill down the mountain, and the Jin army in Nanyang City was exhausted, and a massacre began.
