Of course, Wu Shiteng understood why Li Xiaogong asked himself. At this time, they actually had no choice, but Li Xiaogong was unwilling to make this decision due to his face, so he hoped that he would make it.

Warrior pondered for a moment and said, "One of the important reasons why the emperor gave up Jingzhou is to preserve his strength. Although Wang Renze should be cut into pieces, I think our enemy is still Xiyang County. It is enough to have two Sui army dealt with Wang Renze. We should withdraw from Jingzhou as soon as possible. What does your Highness mean?"

Wu Shitao said it was very implicit. In fact, he had only two meanings. One was to preserve his strength, and the other was that Wang Renze had nothing to do with them. Li Xiaogong understood what he meant, so he nodded and said, "Mr. Wu said it makes sense. We only need to send a scout to the Sui army to inform us of the situation, and then we retreated to Xiyang County to the northwest, which can be regarded as implementing the agreement reached by both parties."

"Since that's the case, we will evacuate as soon as possible!"

The warrior and Li Xiaogong quickly reached an agreement. Li Xiaogong immediately sent two personal soldiers to deliver letters to the Sui army heading north, while they themselves turned northwest and retreated towards Xiyang County.

The Northern Sui reinforcements from Jiangxia have been killed to 130 miles away from Xiangyang City. This army was led by the chief general Luo Shixin and the deputy general Luo Cheng, and they acted very quickly. Since the Zheng army led by Wang Renze to massacre the city in Fengxiang County, Jingling County, Zhang Xuan immediately sent this 30,000 cavalry to Xiangyang.

Zhang Xuan did not originally intend to intercept Wang Renze's army, but handed them over to the Tang army to intercept, but Wang Renze sent troops to massacre the city, which made Zhang Xuan realize that this was a great opportunity for him to bribe the hearts of the people in Jingzhou. Illegalizing this army with resentment would help reverse his unfavorable image in the Xiangyang area.

On the one hand, Zhang Xuan issued an emergency order to Lai Huer, who was stationed in Hanshui, to intercept Wang Renze's army at any time and prepare to support the defense of Xiangyang City. On the other hand, he ordered Luo Shixin and Luo Cheng to lead 30,000 cavalrymen to quickly kill Xiangyang City.

Just after noon, the cavalry who had been running for a day were resting in a wilderness and eating dry food. A small river not far away was filled with water-drinking war horses and soldiers. Under a big tree, Luo Shixin could not suppress his anger and said to Luo Cheng beside him: "Wang Shichong was appointed as the guard of Qinghe Tong. In order to satisfy his army, he dared to cross the Yellow River to rob Zhua County and Linyi County of Qi County. Tens of thousands of people in the two counties were tragically damaged. Maybe he had forgotten it, but none of us in Qi County will forget it. I will remember this in my heart. Sooner or later, I will cut off the head of Wang Shichong's dog thief. This time I will attack his nephew Wang Renze first."

Luo Cheng nodded, "The General's attack on Jingzhou this time is linked. Not only will he unify the south, but he will also destroy Wang Shichong. Unfortunately, neither the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty nor the officials understood that without Wang Shichong's buffer, it means that our next target is the Tang Dynasty."

Luo Shixin was very surprised that Luo Cheng had such a clever view. He asked in confusion: "Is this what the general himself thought of?"

Luo Cheng shook his head and smiled faintly, "This is what Military Advisor Fang told me, how could I get it?"

Luo Shixin laughed, "I'm talking about it! If we generals who lead big battles can think of such profound truths, then we can also be prime ministers."

Luo Cheng just smiled. In fact, these principles were not profound. Although he could not imagine it for a moment, Fang Xuanling immediately understood that this was also Luo Cheng's more conceited. He was the civil and military genius second only to Li Jing among all generals, while his martial arts skills were far higher than Li Jing.

As the two were talking, a captain walked over quickly, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Report to General, Tang General Li Xiaogong sent someone to deliver the letter!"

Of course, Luo Shixin knew that the Tang army was right in front of them. The reason why he asked the soldiers to rest temporarily was to get detailed information from the Tang army. Li Xiaogong sent someone to explain it himself, which was the best.

"Bring the sender up!"

Soon, Li Xiaogong's personal soldiers were brought up, and he bowed and said, "See General Luo!"

"You coach asked you to bring letters or verbal messages?"

"I reported to the general, it was a message. My head coach asked me to tell the general that Wang Renze was in a hurry to attack the city and had already pressed on the whole line. The situation in Xiangyang was critical. They originally wanted to rescue Xiangyang, but since the general had led his army to kill, we will no longer interfere. Please go to Xiangyang for rescue as soon as possible."

"Then where are your army going?" Luo Cheng asked beside him.

"Report to General, our commander has led his army to retreat northwest and will retreat directly to Xiyang County."

"What you said is true?"

"Reporting to General Luo, Bei Zhi completely retells the original meaning of my head coach. Every sentence is true, and I dare not make any lies."

Luo Shixin nodded and ordered his subordinates to take him down. At this time, Luo Cheng smiled and said, "I guess Li Xiaogong will have a fierce battle with Li Shenfu after returning to the capital. At this time, he will not let someone catch the handle. Bei Zhi believes that there should be no fraud."

Luo Shixin sneered, "I am 30,000 cavalrymen. If he dares to cheat me, I will destroy him directly."

After saying that, Luo Shixin stood up and ordered: "Send the whole army to assemble and rush to Xiangyang for rescue immediately!"

A quarter of an hour later, 30,000 cavalry gathered, and they accelerated and rushed towards Xiangyang City.

The siege of Xiangyang has entered a white-hot heat. The battlefield is full of corpses and siege ladders. Both sides are killed and injured. Faced with the extremely vicious Zheng army, the temporary militia soldiers were unable to play a role at all and were all withdrawn. Only 10,000 Sui Navy members were fighting fiercely with the enemy at the south city.

Under the tight defense of the Sui army, the Zheng army was unable to attack the city, but an accident happened. The easternmost corner of the southern city collapsed, forming a gap of more than twenty feet wide.

Wang Renze seized this opportunity and invested three thousand powerful troops to attack this gap. The Sui army also invested three thousand people to defend the desperately. The entire siege almost stopped. Everyone was nervously watching the fierce battle between the six thousand soldiers at the gap.

The Sui army invested thousands of people at the forefront of the gap, forming a dense defensive wall and a fierce Zheng army fighting. The battle between the two sides in the battle for the road to the city has entered a fierce heat.

There were 300 heavy armored swordsmen in the Sui Navy, and this time they also put into defense. The sabers of the 300 soldiers were too sharp. When a long sword swung, blood would splatter everywhere, and enemy soldiers were cut in half or their heads were chopped off.

But killing a group will cause a group of people to surge, and they will emerge one after another. The dead bodies are stacked up, and they are piled up three feet high, seriously hindering the road to the city. The Zheng soldiers behind them continue to use their spears to lift the dead bodies down the city wall, fall into the inner moat, and fight upward regardless of their lives.

The soldiers of the heavy armored sword team at the top of the city were also seriously injured. In the battle for more than an hour, nearly a hundred people have been killed, and many of them fell into the river and were drowned.

The sky was getting darker, but the battle still showed no sign of stopping. The 12,000 Zheng troops in the city were arranged neatly one mile away. They were ready to fill the gap in the city's impact. They held torches in their hands to form a sea of ​​sparks.

At this moment, 30,000 Sui cavalry had arrived quietly. They crossed a long hill and ran out of the woods. Luo Shixin held up his large iron spear, raised his arms and burst out with a roar: "Kill all the enemy and do not accept prisoners of war!"

The shouts of killing shook the sky, and tens of thousands of Northern Sui cavalry rushed towards the sea of ​​sparks several miles away like a crazily.

The soldiers of Zheng army noticed the abnormality one after another. Many soldiers turned around in surprise. They felt the earth trembling and the river water was shaking, as if a slight earthquake occurred. The soldiers looked at each other, and no one knew what had happened. Suddenly, a soldier pointed to the distance and shouted in horror: "Look, what is that?"

All the soldiers stood up straight, their eyes full of horror. They saw black cavalry three miles away, with horses galloping, swords and halberds like forests, like black frenzy, and the murderous aura swept towards 12,000 Zheng troops like a shock wave on the ground.

Zheng's soldiers were stunned, and Wang Renze was also stunned. Suddenly, he reacted and shouted loudly: "Line in line and prepare for the fight!"

If there were only 10,000 cavalry, perhaps the Zheng army could still be brave enough to fight, but the huge pressure brought by 30,000 cavalry caused the Zheng army's courage to collapse. First, hundreds of soldiers fled in a hurry to the west, which instantly caused the entire army to be defeated. Countless soldiers fled desperately to the west, and 12,000 soldiers were infantry. They knew in their hearts that they could not compete with the cavalry at all, and they could only escape.

The Zheng army was defeated like a mountain. While cursing the spies patrolling the outside world, they hated their parents for giving him two feet, and rushed to flee westward. Xiangyang City was filled with fleeing soldiers, and even the soldiers siege the city turned around and fled. At this time, the desire in their hearts was scared by the boundless Sui cavalry, and escaping was their only thought.

More than 15,000 Zheng soldiers threw away their helmets and armor, threw away their weapons, packages, and threw away everything they could throw away. Everyone had only one idea: escape! Escape from the massacre of the Sui cavalry.

But they could not escape the Northern Sui cavalry. In an instant, the defeated Zheng army was caught by the Sui cavalry. The cavalry swept the wind and clouds to swallow up the defeated soldiers. Whether they kneel down to surrender or fight to the death, they could not escape the fate of being stabbed to death. There were shrill howlings of despair everywhere.

Wang Renze and his 300 personal soldiers were all riding war horses. They were wrapped in defeated troops and fled westward. At this time, a team of Sui cavalry came from the slanting assassin. The general led the general waved the plum blossom silver spear and rushed straight to Wang Renze. It was the general Luo Cheng.

Dozens of personal soldiers next to him rushed forward and surrounded Luo Cheng. Wang Renze seized this opportunity and turned around and fled. More than a hundred personal soldiers followed closely behind. After a moment, they were swallowed up by the escaped crowd.

When Luo Cheng killed all the enemy troops blocking the road, Wang Renze had already escaped without a trace. Luo Cheng roared in anger and urged the horse to chase him and left.

Hundreds of steps away, the chief general of the Sui army, Luo Shixin, said coldly: "I ordered Sun Changle to cut off the enemy's escape route from the west, and not let anyone go!"

The Sui army's cavalry was like wind and lightning, and the war horses stepped by the water, stirring up splashes of water. Another cavalry rushed along the hills to the west. This was the six thousand rear troops led by the general Sun Changle. They were responsible for intercepting the enemy from the west.

The burly Sui cavalrymen had bright armor, carried bows and swords, and were fierce in awe. In the blink of an eye, they rushed past the Zheng soldiers who had escaped the fastest and cut off their escape route.

The Sui cavalry surrounded the defeated troops from three sides, shouting and killing shocked the sky. Even if they kneel down and surrender, there was no way out. Groups of desperate Zheng soldiers were ruthlessly killed by the Sui cavalry. The moat was full of surrendered soldiers, but they were also killed and rolled into the river. The clear moat changed color and the blood dyed the river red.

Crying everywhere was shaking the sky, screams filled the fields. Zheng soldiers were killed so that their heads rolled on the ground, their limbs were broken, blood flowed into a river, and corpses were everywhere. The fleeing soldiers were pierced through their bodies by cavalry with spears from their backs and nailed to the ground.

The soldiers were frightened and frightened. They kowtowed and begged for their lives, but were still ruthlessly slashed off their heads.
