Zhang Hui groaned: "But if Bai Zhanyun doesn't attack Mingyuan City, won't we have no way to take him?"

Gu Fangfang said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhang, don't you understand Senior Brother Lu's words, and now the most dangerous thing for the other party is Ziyun City, followed by Jinxiang City, if Bai Zhanyun wants to change, he must capture Mingyuan City, and then put heavy troops in Jinxiang City, so that he can sit back and relax and go south, but if he really doesn't attack Mingyuan City, then our army can take Jinxiang City, and then go north from Jinxiang City, retrieve Qi Yuncheng, and build a ring city, so as to threaten Qingxia City, Bian Yuan City, Xiahuan City, and Ziyun City." ”

Lu Shimei said: "If Bai Zhanyun guards Jinxiang City with heavy troops, won't we have lost all our efforts?"

Lu Liwu said with a smile: "Impossible, if Bai Zhanyun guards Jinxiang City with heavy troops, Ziyun City will definitely be empty, and when the time comes, our army will just capture Ziyun City, build a ring city, Bian Yuan City, if these cities return to our hands, the threat to the north will be more than that simple." In this way, he Bai Zhanyun lost a lot, how could he make such a mistake. ”

Zhang Hui said: "If Bai Zhanyun puts all his forces in Ziyun City and Jinxiang City, it will not be difficult for our army to capture them, even if they can capture several other cities, it will not be of much use." ”

Lu Liwu groaned: "It depends on whether he Bai Zhanyun has such a big heart. ”

Here, Bai Zhanyun retrieved the three cities, and the next day, he immediately drew 30,000 troops, and Li Wu guarded Jinxiang City, and only 5,000 soldiers were left in the city around the city, which was guarded by Hu Yun, and only 5,000 soldiers were left in Bian Yuan City, which was guarded by Guo Hao, and Zi Yuncheng left 10,000 soldiers led by Liang Fang to defend the city, and the rest of the people all went to Mingyuan City.

It was very easy to capture Mingyuan City, it only took half an hour, after entering the city, Lu Liwu and the others were still missing, Bai Zhanyun knew the plan, and at this time, the fast horse had already spread the news of the loss of Jinxiang City to Bai Zhanyun's ears.

Bai Zhanyun didn't think much about it, leaving 10,000 soldiers led by Chen Ke to guard Mingyuan City, draining all the troops of Ziyun City and rushing to Qiyun City, and ordered the fast horse to draw out all the troops of the two cities of Xiahuan City and Qingxia City, and rushed to Jianhuan City.

As a result, the three cities of Ziyun City, Xiahuan City, and Qingxia City became empty cities, only Mingyuan City left 10,000 soldiers, and Jinxiang City lost 20,000, leaving 90,000 soldiers, 10,000 were returned by Li Wu to guard Qiyun City, Bai Zhanyun led 30,000 to Qiyun City, Liang Fang led 40,000 to build Huancheng, and the remaining 10,000 were all guarding Bian Yuan City.

When Bai Zhanyun's 40,000 army rushed to Qiyun City, Lu Liwu led an army of 50,000 and was already attacking Qiyun City, while on the side of Jianhuancheng, Gu Fangfang led an army of 50,000 and was attacking the city, and Zhang Hui led an army of 30,000 and was attacking Bian Yuan City.

The battle lasted for two days and two nights, Lu Liwu's 50,000 troops failed to capture Qiyun City, so they retreated to Jinxiang City, Gu Fangfang also failed to capture Jianhuan City, and also returned to Jinxiang City, only Zhang Hui led 30,000 soldiers to capture Bian Yuan City, and the 10,000 soldiers who defended the city together with General Fang were all buried in Bian Yuan City, and Li Wu led the defeated troops to retreat to Xiahuan City. After Zhang Hui captured Bian Yuancheng, there were only 5,000 soldiers left.

The loss of Bian Yuan City endangers the three cities of Xiahuan City, Ziyun City, and Qiyun City, and at this time, in addition to Qiyun City, there are Bai Zhanyun's 40,000 troops, but the remaining two cities are not a single soldier, if Zhang Hui divides his troops and occupies Xiahuan City and Ziyuncheng, he doesn't have to do anything, as long as the two city gates are tightly closed, then Bai Zhanyun's 100,000 army will be completely encircled, as long as the enemy army enters from Bian Yuan City, and then descends from Xiahuan City, attacking from both sides, Bai Zhanyun's 100,000 army will only have a way to go.

However, after Zhang Hui captured Bian Yuan City, he did not really divide his troops to the north, perhaps because he did not know that Xiahuan City and Ziyun City were empty cities. Knowing that Bian Yuan City was lost, Bai Zhanyun was almost desperate, but he still took out 20,000 soldiers and rushed to Xiahuan City and Ziyun City, and when the 20,000 soldiers entered the two cities safely, Bai Zhanyun was relieved.

After two days of fighting, the enemy army failed to capture the city, and naturally he was the most tired. Bai Zhanyun did not let his soldiers rest, and sent out 40,000 soldiers and horses to attack Bian Yuan City overnight, except for 10,000 soldiers in Mingyuan City, and 30,000 soldiers in Qiyun City and Jianhuan City, the rest of the city soldiers were all evacuated by Bai Zhanyun, and none of them remained.

Bai Zhanyun was gambling, betting that Lu Liwu would not attack the city tonight, and if he won, he would recapture Bian Yuan City, and if he lost, the whole army would be annihilated.

can bet the lives of 100,000 soldiers, and only Bai Zhanyun, that is, because only Bai Zhanyun dares to do this, it is Lu Liwu who did not expect that he sent 20,000 soldiers to Bian Yuan City, and the remaining soldiers all guarded Jinxiang City, and did not attack any other city.

As long as he draws out a few hundred soldiers, he can annihilate Bai Zhanyun's 100,000 army, so as to drive north, then the Central Plains will be in danger.

Because he didn't expect it, Bai Zhanyun's 30,000 soldiers and horses attacked Bian Yuan City at night, and after two hours of quick battle, Bai Zhanyun recaptured Bian Yuan City at the cost of losing more than 18,000 soldiers, and the enemy troops defending the city, including Zhang Hui, were all killed.

Now, Bian Yuan City has returned to Bai Zhanyun's hands from the new, and naturally it will not be lost again, and Bai Zhanyun of Qiyun City is personally guarded, it is more difficult to capture, and the heavy troops of the city around the city are resisted, these three cities are now impossible to capture, as for other cities, there is only one Mingyuan City that has the interest of attacking, if you want to return to attack Mingyuan City, it is naturally impossible, the army will attack Mingyuan City, it will naturally be noticed by Bai Zhanyun, Bai Zhanyun will naturally draw troops from Bian Yuancheng to Mingyuan City to rush to Mingyuan City is naturally easier than him.

At this moment, Lu Liwu couldn't attack the city, so he had to defend Jinxiang City to the death.

Now, Lu Liwu's army is all in Jinxiang City, Bai Zhanyun made up his mind to do a decisive battle of Zuihou, the army rested for three days, and he gave an order that surprised almost everyone - abandon all the cities, 30,000 troops set off from Mingyuan City, attack Qingyuan City, the rear city of Jinxiang City, the remaining 820,000 set off from Bian Yuan City, went straight to Jinxiang City, and the remaining 60,000 points set off from Jianhuancheng to attack Jinxiang City.

Bai Zhanyun is undoubtedly a desperate gamble, put it to death and survive, if Jinxiang City is captured, then Lu Li Wuding retreats to Qingyuan City, Qingyuan City is attacked by 20,000 soldiers, Bai Zhanyun will press all the army up, then Qingyuan City is a dead city, resulting in the annihilation of the whole army.

But if Jinxiang City can't be captured, or if Lu Liwu draws troops to attack other cities, it will be Bai Zhanyun who will lead to the annihilation of the entire army.

In Jinxiang City, after hearing that Bian Yuancheng had missed and Zhang Hui had died, Lu Liwu couldn't sit still.

At this time, his junior brother died, Bian Yuancheng was lost again, and he couldn't capture Qiyun City and build a ring city, so he couldn't help but be irritable, but he didn't show it on his face, sitting in the hall, thinking about what to do next.

He was still thinking about it, and the gray-robed man sent Bai Zhanyun's battle post, asking him to go out of the city tomorrow to fight, and at this time there was news that Qingyuan City was attacked, he didn't know how many soldiers and horses attacked Qingyuan City, he was worried that if Qingyuan City missed, then Jinxiang City would be attacked on all sides, and he wouldn't even know where to flee when he arrived.

That night, he sent 40,000 troops to Qingyuan City to rescue, but at dawn, his 40,000 reinforcements were ambushed by Yuwen Ling, Yang Shengwu, Chu Xi and Xiaoyaomen and the disciples of the Sword Sect, and the whole army was annihilated, and even his three junior disciples and all the disciples of the Blood Lotus Sect who came to help were buried under the hands of Xiaoyaomen and the Sword Sect.

He naturally didn't know this news, because at this time, Bai Zhanyun's army had already come to the city, and Bai Zhanyun asked for battle, so he naturally couldn't help it, so he had to lead his troops out of the city.

The two stood first, and Bai Zhanyun had that smile on his face, as if he had won the battle. Lu Liwu also had a smile on his face, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

The two armies faced each other, and the scene was not spectacular.

Lu Liwu said with a smile: "It seems that I still underestimate General Bai's ability." ”

Bai Zhanyun smiled silently.

Lu Liwu continued: "But if General Bai is defending the two cities, he will be helpless, but now that General Bai is out with the whole army, I am afraid that he will not be able to go back." ”

Bai Zhanyun said with a smile: "Your Excellency's opinion, I don't dare to agree, presumably the young palace master doesn't know that the 40,000 army you sent to Qingyuan City has been ambushed in the second half of the road, and the whole army has been wiped out, as for your juniors, they have also died at the hands of the Sword Sect and the disciples of Xiaoyaomen, at this time, Qingyuan City is afraid that it has also fallen into the hands of General Chen." ”

Before Lu Liwu could speak, Bai Zhanyun continued: "Now, Jinxiang City is already a dead city, and I am afraid that the young palace master who can't go back is, you must be very strange why I suddenly have so many soldiers, then I might as well tell you now, as early as when I went down to Xiahuan City, there were 20,000 soldiers in the city, and I deliberately hid in the city, and the other party only thought that there were 7,000, until later, after the fire burned Bian Yuan City, I have been expanding the army, and expanded the soldiers and horses to more than 50,000 people, plus 100,000 imperial court reinforcements, and there are 150,000 troops in my hands." ”

Lu Liwu listened to Bai Zhanyun's words, although his face was unmoved, he was really taken aback in his heart.

Bai Zhanyun didn't wait for him to speak, and continued: "There are 80,000 soldiers and horses who brought siege to the city at this time, and the 30,000 soldiers who ambushed your reinforcements yesterday are afraid to rush to Qingyuan City at this time, the two armies Qingyuan City converged, and 70,000 soldiers and horses captured a small Qingyuan City, it must be very simple, and Qingyuan City to Jinxiang City is only half a day, if you want to use these 80,000 soldiers to drag the young palace master for half a day, it is naturally not difficult, at that time, Qingyuan City will at least draw out 50,000 soldiers and horses to come, and hide in the lower area for so long, just wait for today, in the eyes of the young palace master, who can't go back." ”

Lu Liwu suddenly raised his head and laughed for a long, long time before he stopped daxiao, looked at Bai Zhanyun and said: "The surname is Bai, you say this, you just want to intimidate the next, but unfortunately the next is not scared. ”

Bai Zhanyun said with a smile: "I don't have the intention of intimidating the young palace master, just kindly reminding you, after all, you and I are both people from the Central Plains, no matter what, it is also cannibalism, and the only one who benefits is the barbarians of the Southern Wilderness, if the young palace master wants to fight a decisive battle, he will come to fight a decisive battle with the young palace master in the next place, as for who has no return, I believe that after this battle, it will be clear." ”

Lu Liwu said hatefully: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time, you killed my senior uncle, and killed my junior brother, no matter what today, the young master will also cut you under the sword, and pay tribute to the yin spirit who died in your hands in my bloodthirsty palace." ”

Bai Zhanyun said: "The two armies are fighting, it is difficult to avoid casualties, how can this be blamed, the young palace master is also a person who understands righteousness, how can he ......"

Lu Liwu shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, let's take your life." With a clear drink, he had already shot directly at Bai Zhanyun.

Bai Zhanyun's complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly dodged, looking scared and worried, but in his heart, not to mention how happy he was at this time, he had successfully provoked Lu Liwu, as long as Lu Liwu was provoked, his goal would be achieved, and if the goal was achieved, this Jin Xiangcheng would be able to be captured.
