Xun Qi was attacked by Liang Han and was caught off guard and was killed and lost. He lost all the infantry and most of the cavalry, and only hundreds of cavalry fled back towards the direction of Gongzhu Ridge. However, when he was several miles away from Gongzhu Ridge, he saw the original camp where Gongzhu Ridge was located. The flames were raging, and he felt cold.

The messenger who had been waiting for his return nearby finally arrived at Xun Qi and passed on Liu Xinda's words to the general who was almost barely now.

Helplessly, Xun Qi could only take his hundreds of defeated soldiers and flee all the way to Xianren Ridge.

The messenger could not go back to Gongzhuling. The messenger saw with his own eyes that at least tens of thousands of Tang troops had attacked Gongzhuling. When he returned, he could only be cooked in a pot by his opponent.

It turned out that this was a series of strategies. Guangshui insisted on it, and Yanzi River crossed the river and attacked, surrounded Xu Yong and lured Xun Qi to help. Then, the surprise attacked halfway, while another team took the detour across the Guangshui River and took the Princess Ridge.

On the way to escape, Xun Qi finally understood the opponent's way, but what else can this kind of hindshot do? In a blink of an eye, they lost 20,000 50,000 troops who thought they could stalemate with the Tang army.

The only thing you can rely on now is the camp in Xianren Ridge.

But the problem is that there are no steep mountains in Guangshui. The so-called Xianren Ridge is just a small hill that is more than a hundred steps high, and it is incomparable to the steep mountains in the south. Naturally, there is no question of how many natural dangers to rely on. Even though it occupys the condescending terrain, it is now losing several consecutive battles, but its morale is no longer there.

The combat effectiveness of both sides was also the Tang people with an absolute advantage. On Xianren Ridge, there were 30,000 people, but the real warriors were only 20,000, and the remaining 10,000 were all auxiliary soldiers, civilians, young and strong. These people were doing civil engineering, repairing camps, and transporting food and supplies, but it was natural that they could not afford to expect them to fight against the Tang army.

After returning to Xianren Ridge, Liu Xinda waved his hand to signal to escape without waiting for him to apologize to Liu Xinda.

"It's a blessing in disgrace that you can come back." Liu Xinda said: "I have already had a fight with Shi Zhuang once today."

When he entered the camp, he saw the broken scene inside. Xun Qi already knew that there had been a battle here during the day.

"It seems they didn't take advantage!" Xun Qi said.

"It's just a tentative attack." Liu Xinda said: "And it was not Shi Zhuang's headquarters, but the Right Qianniu Guard led by Li Gan. This Right Qianniu Guard was newly reorganized by Liu Ruyan after he arrived in Yangzhou. It was completely incomparable to the Right Qianniu Guard led by Li Mi. But even such a team, I couldn't get any advantage. The opponent attacked calmly, and tried it everywhere, and then retreated calmly."

"With the ability of a general, of course, Shi Zhuang will not be noticed by Shi Zhuang!" Xun Qi flattered him. This time he had no military order and led his troops to support Xu Yong to lead him to the fall of Gongzhu Ridge. Xianren Ridge lost its flanks, and more than 10,000 troops collapsed. Liu Xinda did not blame him, making him grateful. You must know that if it really comes to light, it would be no exaggeration for Liu Xinda to slash him with one knife.

"Shi Zhuang doesn't need to see any flaws!" Liu Xinda smiled bitterly and said, "My strength is here. Although the Xianrenling Camp was built by Fu Xiaotian, it was a hasty thing for a cook without rice."

"The village has sufficient food, and we have always had no problem staying for a while." Xun Qi said: "General Xiang is only three days away from us, and his vanguard is only one day away. As long as General Xiang is arrive, everything will be solved."

Liu Xinda nodded. "This is our only way out. To be honest, the food and grass in our village can only last for ten days, and there is insufficient water on Xianren Ridge. If Shi Zhuang blocks the water source under the mountain, we can hold on for a shorter time."

"I can hold on for three days."

"These three days will inevitably face a hard battle!" Liu Xinda said: "General Xun has worked hard today. Let's go down and have a good rest first. Tomorrow, we will rely on the general's courage!"

"Thank you General Liu!" Xun Qi bowed with his fists, turned around and retreated.

Fu Xiaotian watched his back disappear, and then whispered: "Why can the general tolerate him without obeying military orders? If this person does not kill him, how can he correct the military discipline?"

"What's the use of killing him now?" Liu Xinda sighed: "After all, he is a brave general, and he can still be used to charge in the battle. Even if he wants to hold the loss of the army, it is also after this battle."

"When General Xiang comes, will they receive the punishment they deserve?" Fu Xiaotian shook his head and said.

"That's not what I should care about." Liu Xinda smiled and said, "Old Fu, why do we want so much? After we continue to live, we will discuss this issue slowly."

"Xu Yong, I'm afraid this time I will be unable to escape!" Fu Xiaotian hesitated for a moment and said.

Liu Xinda did not make a sound, turned around and looked at the defense map of the entire Xianren Ridge hanging behind him.

Fu Xiaotian didn't say much, bowed and turned around and retreated.

He didn't know, but Liu Xinda was hesitating at this moment.

This is the case with war. If you take a wrong step, you will fall into the abyss step by step. Liu Xinda hesitated when he was advancing to Guangshui, but in the end, he could not resist the so-called overall situation above. He jumped into this trap in one step, and now he wants to get out, it has become a huge problem.

One of the major problems that has troubled him now is whether the real purpose of Shi Zhuang’s troops this time is just to rescue Guangshui, or have a further goal.

If so, it can only be Ezhou.

If their appetite is really so great that they want to swallow the entire E Yue in one fell swoop, it would be obviously not enough to rely on Shi Zhuang's troops alone. Shi Zhuang took advantage of this time difference, with the purpose of killing himself, and at the same time, it also attracted Xiang Zhen to come and rescue. He dragged both of these main forces in Guangshui.

Then which one will attack Ezhou?

Li Mi!

Liu Xinda grabbed the defense map of Xianren Ridge, staring at the black line on the big map below, which was the Yangtze River. Li Hao's navy has never appeared since the war broke out. Even though Yueyang was besieged by Ding Taiyi and Qian Biao was beaten to a mess, they did not go to support him. If they wanted, they could easily enter Dongting Lake from the Yangtze River.

Tian Guofeng faced Cao Bin's 50,000 troops in Xiangyang, and was in great difficulty.

Li Hao could go down the Yangtze River and then into the Han River for support, but he did not go.

Ding Jian faced Tian Mantang's 50,000 troops in Yiling, and just tried his best to guard it, and Li Hao's navy did not go.

What did Li Hao do?

Where is he?

There is only one answer. His navy is afraid that he is running towards Ezhou with Li Mi's right Qianniu Guard.

Sweat down, he walked a few steps to the big case, unfolded the paper, picked up the pen, and wrote a few words on the paper, but it was condensed there again.

He wanted to write it to Xiang Zhen, so that he would never come to Guangshui, but should return to Ezhou. With Xiang Zhen's 50,000 troops stationed in Ezhou, there would be nothing wrong in Ezhou.

But what about myself!

Sweat fell down his face drippingly.

If Xiang Zhen retreated as he said, Ezhou would be saved, but what about himself?

I will be completely wiped out by Shi Zhuang on this Xianren Ridge.

Like a trapped beast, walking back and forth in the house for a few times, Liu Xinda finally kneaded the unfolded paper into a ball and threw it under the table.

I was not a direct subordinate of Lingnan. When Xiang Zhen first wooed him, he just took a fancy to the territory of Ezhou and wanted to seize this big piece of fat from the Northern Tang Dynasty. And I was able to gain a foothold in the Southern Alliance not because the other party had his own talent, but because I still had these 20,000 soldiers.

Xu Yong and Xun Qi are both from Lingnan, but unfortunately, the Shengbao brothers have been with him for so long, but this time it was lost.

If there are no troops under his command, will he still have a foothold in the Confederacy?

Without Ezhou, you can retreat to Jiangxi.

Liu Xinda walked to the map again and looked carefully.

It is almost impossible to get rid of Shi Zhuang's attack and retreat into Jiangxi by relying on his own strength. But if Xiang Zhen is difficult, it will be different. There are more choices at that time, whether to fight or leave.

If everything was as expected, Xiang Zhen would never choose to fight Shi Zhuang again, because once Ezhou fell, they would be attacked from both sides and there would be no other way to go except to withdraw immediately.

Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

His eyes also became sinister.

If you lose Ezhou, you will lose it. What does it have to do with me?

The one who wants to compete for this world is Xiang Xun.

And if I don’t have my own confidant soldiers, I will really have nothing. Even if I retreat to Jiangxi, as long as I have tens of thousands of soldiers in my hands, will I be afraid that I will not have them?

It was dawn and the drums were rumbling at the foot of the mountain. Liu Xinda, who had not slept all night, walked out of the tent. He had already had a scheming in his mind. Next, he tried hard to guard and wait until Xiang Zhen's army arrived.

At this time, in Guangshui, Xu Yong finally did not wait for the reinforcements he hoped, but instead saw the Northern Tang army shooting the flags of Xun Qi's troops into the camp with crossbow arrows.

These flags mean that Xun Qi is also done.

It was not only Xu Yong who was desperate, but also his soldiers.

When Liang Han and Ren Xiaonian launched another fierce attack in two groups, his camp finally collapsed.

When people are desperate, they can hold their breath and be stubborn to the end, but once they are vented, they will become walking corpses and be slaughtered.

Now Xu Yong's troops are in this way. When the camp was broken into a corner, the other triangles could still be supported, but they still collapsed at that moment.
Chapter completed!
