When Ye Guan rushed back to Zhu'an City as fast as he could, outside the city, there was already a shout of killing.

Fortunately, he notified Ren Zijin before and asked him to take more precautions, and Ren Zijin also left a little thought, and the soldiers were arranged slightly loosely, not as tightly as before. The sound of shouting and killing was heard from the left and right, and Kou Long's military report was sent into the city the next moment. Ren Zijin didn't dare to slack off, and immediately prepared to arrange for the sergeant to go out of the city to support, and at this stall, Ye Guan came back.

The towering city wall was like walking on the ground at Ye Guan's feet, and he stood beside Ren Zijin in a flash, his face was expressionless, looking at all the generals who had gathered, and said to Ren Zijin: "Order, all the staff are not allowed to go out of the city, open the front gate, send a brigade, and immediately occupy the enemy camp." ”

Ye Guan's steps were light, he landed beside Ren Zijin, Ren Zijin didn't react at all, until Ye Guan finished speaking, he suddenly woke up, looked at Ye Guan beside him, and immediately recovered, and hurriedly said: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, in this case, the brothers outside ......"

Ye Guan didn't speak, just looked at Ren Zijin, the expression on his face was undoubted, not angry and arrogant, Ren Zijin felt a chill in his heart, knowing that Ye Guan was definitely not joking, and he was not discussing with himself, but immediately made an order, and hurriedly said: "Subordinate order." ”

Immediately, Ye looked at the generals gathered in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The enemy has transferred all his forces, the focus of the attack is no longer the front gate, everyone guards the remaining three city walls, and before the remaining troops withdraw, no one shall be broken through by the enemy, otherwise, the military law will deal with it." Ye Guan's voice was not loud, but it made everyone listen carefully. This is the first time he has given an order in front of most of the generals after leading the troops on the expedition, and the general leader Ye in front of him has changed his previous kind face, and the whole person has become sluggish, and people can't help but immediately agree to his order.

Then, Ye Guan said to Ren Zijin: "After occupying the enemy camp, immediately transfer all the wounded, retreat from the main road first, and evacuate to another city, the speed must be fast, don't wait until I lead the large army to retreat, you haven't opened the road yet, and then ask you." If you go here, if the enemy army is ambushed, you must not engage them, immediately set up an ambush on the original road, and at the same time set the enemy camp on fire, and wait for the enemy ambush to move, annihilate it, and open the way. ”

"The last general's order!" Ren Zijin solemnly saluted Ye Guan with both hands in his fists.

As soon as Ye Guan's order was spoken, Ren Zijin immediately understood Ye Guan's thoughts, the previous strategy was forced by the enemy, and the plan to lure them to attack the city wall with all their strength was a failure, at this moment the enemy soldiers came to the city, and all the ambushes on the left and right were broken, and the ice peak pointed directly at the main gate of Zhu'an City, if the battle was over later, and the evacuation of the city had not been completed, it would inevitably be surrounded by enemy legions, not to mention retreat, and the possibility of breaking through was extremely low.

As a general of a hundred battles, he is deeply aware of the current situation and urgency, and without waiting for Ye Guan to urge, he immediately began to arrange after giving a salute.

Ye Guan no longer stayed, Zhu'an City was originally the bait he used to drag the enemy army, but now that the enemy army has changed its tricks, if his side remains unchanged, there is only a dead end. It's just that he wondered in his heart, who gave Shen Tuyan these strategies, almost interlocking, and he planned all the plans, so that he could helplessly fall into their trap, as if his thoughts had already been seen through by them.

With such a question, Ye Guan's figure flashed quickly, passed through the entire Zhu'an City, went straight out of the city gate, and went straight to the camp not far away.

At this moment, the camp that was originally used for retreat was silent, and the shouts of killing were heard on the surrounding mountains, and Koron had sent almost all the troops he could send out, and the camp at this moment, except for a few Koron's guards, was empty. Now Ko Long was sitting in the big tent, with the sword already in his hand, his brows furrowed, looking at the topographic map in front of him, thinking for a long time.

Ye Guan's figure flickered and appeared on Kou Long's side, Kou Long was immediately alert, and the long knife in his hand was already out of the sheath with a light sound, but when he saw that it was Ye Guan, he breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly, and said, "Lord Commander." ”

"What's the situation?" Ye Guan waved his hand, and his eyes didn't leave the topographic map on Kou Long's table, and now the topographic map was dotted with marks circled by Kou Long, if it wasn't for his introduction, I really couldn't understand it.

"It's critical. Kou Long hurriedly said, seeing that Ye Guan had been looking at the topographic map, he hurriedly moved his hand, while pointing on the map, he said: "The enemy army has dispatched a large number of men and horses to attack the two mountain ranges, they seem to have appeared suddenly, and the scouts arranged outside have no warning. The attack began suddenly, and the two brigades that were arranged on both sides to be responsible for defense were attacked almost simultaneously, and the enemy was numerous, and he directly attacked the left and right defenses, and suffered great losses. In order to avoid the defense line being breached, his subordinates immediately ordered all the ambush sergeants to attack, which eased the enemy's attack. Now the rear moves are exhausted, but the enemy has no intention of retreating, and looking at the situation, their reserve forces may far exceed our shooting. ”

In the process, Ko Long highlighted several strongholds in the fierce battle to Ye Guan, these places are the focus of defense, and belong to the areas that are more vulnerable to impact, although they are also high mountains and dense forests, but compared to other places, the terrain is slightly gentle.

The current situation is that the eight thousand soldiers that Ye Guan arranged to prepare for a sneak attack on the enemy army in the back have all been put into battle, and all the ambush soldiers set up before have been exposed, facing the enemy army head-on, although there are resolute city walls or wooden fences as a means of defense, but the number of enemy troops far exceeds them, and it is only a matter of time before they are swallowed up.

After reading the topographic map and listening to Kou Long's simple statement, Ye Guan's brows furrowed. Things are going worse than you think. His own sergeants were already fully engaged in the battle, and it was not so easy to retreat now. Looking at the enemy's desperate way of attacking the city wall before, with such an opportunity, he definitely would not give the soldiers of the Dongwangfu any respite.

Ye Guan frowned and fell into deep thought. On the side, Kou Long also frowned, and was also considering a strategy to retreat. It's just that now the battle has begun, and the enemy army is attacking in a united circle, trying to annihilate the whole army of their own soldiers, retreating at this moment, there will definitely be heavy losses, but if they do not retreat, there will be a danger of annihilation.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Guan said softly: "You arrange for the sergeant to continue to defend, don't have the slightest slackness, at this time, it is a desperate situation to fight or not, and there is still a glimmer of life in desperate life, and a large number of casualties are inevitable." Remember, when you find that there is a riot in the rear of the enemy army, immediately arrange for all the soldiers to retreat, and do not stop at all after entering Zhu'an City, cross the city, retreat from the main road, Ren Zijin will open the way, so that you have a direction to retreat. ”

Kou Long was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "What should the Commander-in-Chief do?"

Ye Guan looked up at Kou Long, his face was calm, his brows frowned slightly, and he did not answer Kou Long's question directly, but said softly: "If I am not in the army, you are the supreme commander of the whole army, General Ding Jiang is still unconscious at the moment, if you leave the city, immediately retreat along the main road, do not stop, until you enter the black stone city wall, you can save most of the troops, in order to plan for the future." ”

After Ye Guan said these words, Kou Long immediately felt a little bad, and was about to open his mouth to speak, but saw a green light flash in front of him, and Ye Guan's figure had disappeared. Kou Long's heart was in a hurry, he understood what Ye Guan meant by saying these words, which was clearly like explaining what was going on. But Ye Guan has disappeared at this moment, and with his own cultivation, it is absolutely impossible to catch up.

Gritting his teeth, Ko Long grabbed the topographic map on the table, stuffed it into his arms, picked up his long knife, and left the camp, leading his escort team straight up the hill to join the battle.

It is obvious that the frontal battle wants to be fierce. Although the sergeants assembled in the enclave are not as capable as the sergeants of the Dongwangfu in terms of individual ability, they are superior in number, and they are only 8,000 men under Kou Long, and they have to defend the mountains on both sides, and the troops are seriously insufficient, and they are overstretched to resist the enemy's attack. But the more the soldiers of a hundred battles are not in vain, the more they reach such a moment of crisis, the more these sergeants can stimulate the potential of their bodies, and they have the determination to die, fighting hard, their morale is high, and they are not afraid of death.

Such an emotion filled the entire defense line, making the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the East Wangfu soar, although the enemy's strength was far exceeded, but in a short period of time, it was really impossible to completely eat the defense line of the East Palace.

The frontal battle was extremely tragic, at the same time, Ren Zijin obeyed Ye Guan's order and led a large group of men and horses to quickly kill into the enemy camp. After Ren Zijin occupied the enemy camp, he did not stop at all, and ordered 500 men and horses to move forward immediately, clear the road, and at the same time notify the city to take all the wounded out and retreat from the main road.

Things are proceeding quickly, and the defense measures in Zhu'an Castle have been arranged. At this time, all the sergeants of the Dongwang Mansion are performing their own duties, and the quality of the team that has been honed after countless battles has been vividly withdrawn.

When Ye Guan arrived at the proposed wooden wall that had previously arranged the retreat route, most of the wounded in Zhu'an City had already retreated from the main road. However, after probing, it was found that the enemy army did not arrange any ambush in the back. Ren Zijin was cautious by nature and arranged a large number of scouts to explore the front, but the enemy did not arrange any ambushes. This seems to be a bit contrary to common sense, but now Ren Zijin can't think about it so much, opening up the way to retreat is the key, leading the people and horses, and moving forward.

There are five cities in the Qiuchang City area, surrounded by Zongqiu Mountain, there are two roads out of the mountain, one is the direction of Zhu'an City, and the other is the city at the intersection, which is called: Shilu City.
