Liu Xinda received the news that the cavalry led by Liang Han crossed the Yanzi River and defeated the Shengbao army. The two brothers of Shengbao died on the spot after noon. The defeated soldiers from Shengbao army finally sent the news to Xianren Ridge.

The generals of the Southern Army in the entire Xianren Ridge were shocked.

The Northern Tang army built a bridge on the Yanzi River overnight, allowing thousands of cavalry to cross the river to make them feel incredible and frightened.

They really couldn't imagine how the Northern Tang people accomplished such a feat.

What made them even more worried was that Liang Han's troops were the Right Wei Guards affiliated to Shi Zhuang. According to prior estimates, they should not have arrived in Guangshui so quickly.

Now they must reconsider the speed of the gathering of the Right Weiwei Guard to Guangshui.

"Where is General Xiang Zhen's troops?" Liu Daxin stood in front of the map for a long time before turning around and replied.

"General, this morning's investigation report, General Xiang's vanguard has arrived in Yingcheng, and the main force has just arrived in Ezhou. Even at the fastest speed, the vanguard's speed at which the vanguard arrives in Guangshui is one day later, and the large troops carrying baggage will not arrive in three days."

"Three days?" Liu Xinda took a deep breath, "That is to say, we have to support ourselves for three days!"

Fu Xiaotian changed color slightly: "General, what do you mean?"

"I think that at this time, Shi Zhuang's tens of thousands of troops of the Right Guard should have arrived." Liu Xinda said solemnly: "We mistakenly estimated the speed of the other party's marching. We forgot one thing, road. After every time the officials of the Northern Tang Dynasty arrived, the first thing they did was to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction, roads, water conservancy, etc. The same is true in Xinyang. If Shi Zhuang had enough mules and horses, their advancement speed would indeed be much faster than our reinforcements."

Speaking of this, he felt a little bitter.

Speaking of which, E Yue has actually been in control by them, but over the past year, their energy has not been placed on these things.

Whether it is Xiang Zhen or him, they are constantly expanding their arms to prepare for war, collecting food and grass, and building weapons, but they have forgotten the renovation of the road.

At that time, I never thought that the road would one day become a rope tied to my neck.

"General, we have 50,000 people! It's not that we don't have the power to fight." Fu Xiaotian said in a little dissatisfied.

Liu Xinda looked at Fu Xiaotian and shook his head and said, "There are no more than 50,000 people now. Shengbao's entire army has been destroyed. Guess where will they fight?"

"Xun Qi is closest to them. Once Xun Qi is taken down, it can directly pose a threat to us!" Fu Xiaotian said.

Liu Xinda walked to the map, looked at it, but shook his head apart and said: "Liang Han will not attack Xun Qi. The Gongzhu Ridge where Xun Qi is stationed is not a dangerous place, but for the cavalry, attacking hard is still not a strong point, so they will definitely look far and attack Xu Yong on both sides of Guangshui City."

"In this way, Xu Yongke will be in danger." Fu Xiaotian's face changed color and said, "As soon as Xu Yong's five thousand men left, we will only have 40,000 people."

"The danger is not necessarily Xu Yong!" Liu Xinda pondered for a moment, and suddenly called an officer in: "Hold our military order, go to Gongzhuling immediately and tell General Xun Qi that one soldier and one soldier will never be allowed to help Xu Yong."

Fu Xiaotian was stunned, but immediately reacted: "General, are you saying that Liang Han may be able to surround the site and attack the aid?"

Liu Xinda nodded: "It is very likely. Liang Han will definitely not do anything to take the initiative to attack a strong camp like Gongzhuling, but it is possible to lure Xun Qi out to attack him and then destroy Xun Qi's reinforcements. Let's wait. If Xu Yong sends someone to ask for support later, then this will be certain."

Fu Xiaotian said in surprise: "Why do you say that?"

"Just calculate the time!" Liu Xinda said: "From Liang Han crossing the river to defeating the Shengbao army, Liang Han rushed straight to Guangshui. It can be said that before Xu Yong discovered Liang Han's army, he was not mentally prepared. Even if Xu Yong had rich experience, he would definitely not withstand the attacks between Liang Han and Guangshui City. You have seen the combat effectiveness of the Northern Tang army. But if Xu Yong could still send messengers to us to request reinforcements now, it only means that Liang Han and Ren Xiaonian did not try their best to eat the turtle among the man. Then tell me, what do they mean?"

Fu Xiaotian was silent for a moment and said, "General, Xun Qi and Xu Yong are both from Lingnan. They have always had a good relationship. I am afraid that Xu Yong will send people to Xun Qi while sending an envoy for help from us. Gongzhuling is much closer to Guangshui through our place."

"Hope is too late!"

However, what you are afraid of is what you come!

Fu Xiaotian had the potential to be a crow's mouth. Not long after, the envoys of Xun Qi and Xu Yong basically arrived at Xianren Ridge at the same time.

Xu Yong's messenger came to ask for help.

However, Xun Qi's envoy came to tell Liu Xinda that he had received a request for help from Xu Yong. Because the situation was urgent, he had already led half of his troops to rescue Xu Yong while informing Liu Xinda.

Fu Xiaotian was shocked.

Liu Xinda sighed speechlessly.

After carefully inquiring about Xu Yong's envoy's battle situation, Liu Xinda basically confirmed the fact that his guess was basically accurate.

Xu Yong's response was indeed not wrong. In such a situation, even if he was, he would not do better than the opponent. But the problem is that after the first strike of the Northern Tang army failed, the subsequent movements seemed strange, and Xu Yong did not judge that he thought it was his tenacious resistance and withstood the Tang army's three axes. If there were reinforcements, he could completely escape unscathed or even reverse the situation.

Liu Xinda doesn't think so.

Under such a situation, with Ren Xiaonian's thousands of troops in Guangshui City, under the strong restraint of Liang Han's cavalry, it was enough to break through Xu Yong's defense.

The seemingly fierce battle only started with a competition of real swords and hard guns.

"General, what should I do now?" Fu Xiaotian asked, "Do you want me to lead the cavalry of Xianren Ridge to quickly rescue?"

"It's too late." Liu Xinda said: "If we dare to move, Li Gan will immediately press forward. Moreover, since Liang Han is here under Shi Zhuang, what about Luo Hongwei? Where is he?"

Fu Xiaotian said anxiously: "You can't watch Xun Qi fall into a trap, right?"

"It's not a problem to rescue Xun Qi now. Now it's time to ensure the safety of the remaining troops in Gongzhuling. People come and pass my military order immediately, give up the resignation of Gongzhuling, and all troops will gather at Xianrenling immediately."

"Give up Princess Ridge? Then we will become an isolated army?"

"Where they are left behind, it is very likely to become the next Shengbao or Xu Yong!" Liu Xinda said coldly: "Now we need to gather more strength to support it for a longer time."

When both messengers heard the conversation between Liu Xinda and Fu Xiaotian, they were stunned.

Turning around and looking at them, Liu Xinda said, "You go back immediately and use your fastest speed Qi. If you can find General Xun Qi, tell him that you must break through to Xianren Ridge, and never go to the direction of Gongzhu Ridge."

He did not mention Xu Yong, because in his opinion, Xu Yong could not escape from birth no matter what.

The two messengers turned and left in a hurry.

In the distance, drums rumbling and shouting.

Liu Xinda took a long breath, looked at Fu Xiaotian, walked out of the central army's tent, climbed up to look at the Tang army camp in the distance.

The big flag of stone characters has risen in Li Gan's camp.

Shi Zhuang has arrived.

"Prepare for the battle!" Liu Xinda said: "Shi Zhuang will not give us a breather, nor will he allow us to rescue Xun Qi. I hope that the Gongzhuling has not been attacked by the Tang army. Do you see that there is no Luo Hongwei's general flag in the Tang army camp. He has only one direction to go, that is, go around dozens of miles, force the Guangshui River, and then attack Princess Ridge!"

Fu Xiaotian was silent.

It was originally a stalemate, but in a flash, they fell into a full passive state.

Under all the calm before, there were originally turbulent waves hidden.

"I am not as good as Shi Zhuang!" Liu Xinda said quietly: "This time I was deceived so miserably. If I could go back alive in this battle, I would definitely not be fooled like this again when I hit him next time."

The last beam of sunlight stayed on the mountain top in the distance for a moment, then sank into the top of the mountain. Liang Han stood on a hillside, looking at the Nanjun, who was moving forward in a long snake formation not far away, and smiled and said, "The general is powerful, he actually calculated the enemy's series of reactions so accurately. Haha, let me see a tiger coming down the mountain today."

He lifted up the spear in his hand, pointed the halberd at the foot of the mountain, and shouted angrily: "Let's attack!"

More than 2,000 cavalrymen, like winds blowing down the slope like clouds, rushed towards Xun Qi's troops like a long snake in the distance.

The Xunmen suddenly became in chaos.

In the blink of an eye, the long snake array was cut into several pieces that could not be looked at from each other.

In Guangshui City, the Tang army under the command of Dagou once again attacked Xu Yong's inner village. On the other side, Shen Lizhi commanded the cavalry under his command and also began to support the attack.

However, their attack intensity was not very strong. Once the attack was frustrated, they would retreat immediately.

In Xu Yong's opinion, his defense was successful. He only needed to persevere until the reinforcements arrived. The enemy's attack intensity was worse than once. Obviously, they were tired after a day of fierce battle and the Tang army was also tired.

At this time, on Gongzhu Ridge, Xun Qi's deputy general Zhu Rong looked at the flag of the Northern Tang army that appeared in the distance in a daze, and the Luo character fluttered in the wind.
