According to the scout, the enemy is making a fire for breakfast, and it is estimated that a final attack will be launched in an hour, perhaps the final attack.
After hearing this, Yi Wuxing smiled and said, "If only there was a sip of wine to drink, it would not be possible to rely here before death." ”
Xie Tong said, "Lao Tzu won't let you die! They can't move, let the brothers live for breakfast, and only when they are full can they have strength." ”
Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves from the northwest, and the sound seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, Xie Tong hurriedly sat up, this direction is the direction of the enemy's defense line, coming from this position, it should not be Wang Daoxun's reinforcements, could it be that the enemy's reinforcements have arrived? If this is the case, he has to order his brothers to flee as far as they can, and live one by one!
The cavalry slowly walked towards them. Xie Tong shouted, "Prepare for battle." With that, he looked into the distance, and the cavalry did not charge, but pulled the reins and stepped slowly. He clearly saw the two big characters on the banner, "Sima", Xie Tong's heart suddenly relaxed, and he said excitedly, "It's Sima Xiangru's heavy cavalry!"
Yi Wuxing said coldly: "It's time for this guy to come, and he really has a hand in picking up cheap." Hey, he'll be able to fight the rest of the battle." Although he said this, his expression was still very excited.
The cavalry stopped three or four miles away from Xie Tong, Xie Tong turned on his horse and ran over.
Sima Xiangru sat high on his horse, and saw four or five horsemen rushing out of the opposite camp, and in the center was a bloodied man. It made him feel sick, but since it was a friendly army. He didn't have much to say. Snorted coldly, "Who is here, who is your commander?"
Xie Tong dismounted in response, hugged his fists and said, "The last general, Xie Tong, participates in General Sima!"
Sima Xiangru listened to Xie Tong. He almost rolled over and fell off the horse, this bloodied person turned out to be Xie Tong, which really made him unbelievable, seeing him so embarrassed, he felt quite happy in his heart, and said with a smile, "Oh, it turned out to be Brother Xie, how did you make such a mess, the dignified left general actually fell into such a situation." Everyone laughed, laughing at Xie Tong's unbearable appearance.
Xie Tong was angry in his heart, no wonder the middle route army was not in the climate, and there was still time to discuss these on the battlefield, but he was broad-minded, and he didn't care about these ridicules, and hurriedly said, "General Qiqi, our army is blocking the retreating enemy army, and has just repelled the enemy army." That's why I'm a little embarrassed, and the enemy is currently attacking fiercely, and I ask the general to help."
Sima Xiangru said arrogantly, "I see, General Xie can just rest." Leave this to General Ben! General Ben's black-clothed iron cavalry has just repelled Zhu Wen's army, and he is invincible, and it is still not a problem to deal with this bit of thieves. Someone is coming! Passing on the order of the general, the whole army will attack. If you can't take the opposite position before dawn, come and see you!"
"Yes". The herald said respectfully.
Sima Xiangru continued: "General Xie, please, go back to the camp and look forward to a good show!"
Xie Tong saw that he was extremely arrogant, and he was angry, but the battlefield was child's play, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you general, but the enemy army is at least 40,000 people, please be careful!"
Sima Xiangru laughed wildly, and he said contemptuously, "General Ben has 100,000 horses, and he will care about tens of thousands of thieves, General Xie don't worry too much, please go back!"
Xie Tong held his breath and returned to the position.
Yi Wuxing saw his indignant appearance, and said with a smile, "Are you being ridiculed by Sima Xiangru, Lao Tzu guessed that you would touch a gray nose."
Xie Tong said, "This kid is too arrogant, Lao Tzu really wants to see how he fails, hey, his troops are too sufficient, 100,000 troops, and 10,000 black-clothed iron horses, it is difficult to lose, and the army with such a strength actually stood still, did not save when he saw death, and even dared to say that he repelled Zhu Wen."
Lao Lai comforted him and said, "Brother Xian, don't think so much, at least we blocked the defeat of the enemy, haha."
This night, Xie Tong barely fell asleep, the sound of fighting lasted all night, after dawn, the scout came to report, Sima Xiangru annihilated the enemy, there was not a single living mouth, even the surrendered soldiers were killed.
Xie Tong was very angry, although he blocked the retreat of the enemy, but the purpose was to disintegrate the enemy's living force, but Sima Xiangru's approach was debatable, such a ruthless and vicious behavior, he had seen it for the first time, this kind of practice was indignant to people and gods, and it was really against humanity.
He hurriedly walked out, wanting to have a theory with Sima Xiangru, and met Wang Daoxun head-on, it turned out that after Wang Daoxun received his message for help, he understood the general situation, and traveled two hundred miles in a hurry, just arrived at the battlefield, and the battle was over.
Xie Tong said, "Lord Wang."
Wang Daoxun waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, the old man already knows, fearless!"
Xie Tong drooped his head and said, "Over there!"
Wang Daoxun said, "Call the dreadnought to come over, the old man has brought the latest news, and the marching plan is about to change!"
After a few people sat down, Wang Daoxun said solemnly, "Zhu Wen has withdrawn all the troops in Jiangbei and retreated to health."
Although Xie Tong guessed that the enemy army was retreating, he did not expect that it would be a complete retreat, and even gave up all the positions in Jiangbei, could it be that Zhu Wen was planning a big game of chess? This is very unscientific, he hurriedly said, "This is impossible, Zhu Wen has worked hard to manage the Jiangbei position, and has achieved an overwhelming advantage, why did he suddenly give up!"
Wang Daoxun looked at Xie Tong with a smile and said, "This matter is true, and the virtuous nephew has made a great contribution."
Xie Tong said confusedly, "The last general doesn't understand, although he blocked the enemy's retreat last night, but the victory belongs to Sima Xiangru, what does the last general have to do."
Wang Daoxun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "According to the scout report, you burned the enemy's warships and military rations in Wuxi and Hangzhou, so that the enemy's food and grass were insufficient, and supply became a big problem. ”
From Wang Daoxun's words, Xie Tong gradually outlined the development of the entire battle situation, it was very coincidental that his trip to the south of the Yangtze River became the key to the situation of the war, the East Route Army was trapped, the West Route Army confronted, and the Middle Route Army was scared, if it weren't for the burning of the warship, It can be said that it was his inadvertent move that ruthlessly destroyed Zhu Wen's opportunity to make a sensation in the world again, but Zhu Wen was also very good, and he concealed it for so long, and quietly withdrew his troops, and he blocked the withdrawal of troops from the Great Wall of Heaven this time, and it was just a fluke! He hurriedly asked, "My lord, what should I do next?"
Wang Daoxun said: "Of course, the attack is healthy." According to the scout report, Song Wenyuan and the fleet that defeated the Datuk Venerable in the upper reaches of the river have gone down the river and are close to health, and most of Zhu Wen's troops have retreated to Jiankang City, and it is rumored that Huangchao is also in Jiankang City, as long as Jiankang City is taken in one fell swoop and Huangchao is captured alive, the rebel army that has been making waves in the Central Plains for more than 20 years will no longer be able to set off any ripples. ”
Xie Tong disagreed, "The last general has been to Jiankang City, Jiankang City's solidity is probably beyond Yangzhou's reach, although our army has an absolute advantage in strength, but under the elimination of the other, may not be able to easily take Jiankang, this battle will definitely suffer great losses, why not take Zhenjiang directly, detour Jiankang, you can block the enemy's retreat, and you can form a siege of Jiankang City, encircle but not fight, as long as you persist for a few months, Jiankang City will not be attacked, avoid great losses, this is a good way!".
Wang Daoxun sighed and said, "As long as you capture Huangchao alive and kill Zhu Wen, no matter how big the loss is, it is worth it, virtuous nephew, you must know that this southern expedition, capturing Huangchao is the first merit, no matter how many enemies you destroy and how many cities you capture, it is secondary, and if you don't capture Huangchao, it will be a complete failure. If you detour to Jiankang again, I am afraid that Jiankang City has been breached, Huangchao Zhu Wen has been captured alive, and the first merit of the Southern Expedition will be stolen by Sima and others, although the old man is not a person who is greedy for merit, but he must not allow this credit to fall into the hands of Sima, you think about Sima's power now, and after making such a great achievement, it will be even more unscrupulous, what else do you take to fight them, and what do you rely on to complete your master's last wish!".
Wang Daoxun said these words very excitedly, and suddenly fell silent.
Xie Tong immediately fell silent, all along, he has been under the suppression of the clan led by the Sima clan, every step forward is faltering, and his goal is to weaken the clan, so that the clan completely disappears from the political stage, and now the opportunity for him to strengthen his wings is in front of him, thinking of this, he said firmly, "My lord, I understand, the last general is willing to attack Jiankang with the army."
Wang Daoxun laughed and said, "Prepare and prepare! The big war is coming!"
Xie Tong and the others did not take too much rest, because Sima Xiangru had already led the army to set off and hurriedly went to Jiankang City, and Li Zhaofeng, the king of Huai, led an army of 100,000 to break through Yingzhou, without making too many stops, all the way south, and also went straight to Jiankang with great momentum.
At the same time, Wang Daoxun received a flying pigeon from Li Zhaofeng, the king of Ye, ordering him to go south quickly and join the team attacking Jiankang City, and Li Zhaofeng, the king of Ye, led the remnants of Yangzhou City to march west along the river and pounce towards Jiankang City.
The three-way army jointly attacked Jiankang City, which is unprecedented in history, and it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Rao is Zhu Wen has the ability to reach the sky, and he cannot face the attack of the three-way army at the same time, it seems that the breakthrough of Jiankang City is just around the corner.
Xie Tong and the others also began to march rapidly, but they were infantry, after all, they were not as fast as Sima Xiangru's march, and after two days of marching, they arrived along the river, and Li Zhaofeng, the king of Ye, also arrived here at the same time.
