Wolf smoke ignited again on Jingzhou City, thick and strong, more than twice as thick as at dawn, which shows the critical situation.

Li Shi's Tangqi, Huangfu Rang's Baiqi, and Li Zhao's car camp issued warnings one after another, and sharp whistles came and went.

An earth dragon rose from the southeast, rolled over, and approached for more than a mile in the blink of an eye.

Listening to the horn sound getting louder and louder, you don't need to guess to know that it is the Huqi team hiding in Quaigu County.

Yang Shu angrily cursed: "This thief..."

I had a little hope, but it was gone in the blink of an eye...

Just after a slight turn of events, we are now in dire straits again?

You can kill people with just a nod of your head, you might as well take a quick stab...

Zhang Jingzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at the enemy cavalry getting closer and closer, and said solemnly: "The dust smoke is about two miles, and it is intermittent. It seems that there are only two thousand cavalry at most... Well, isn't it?"

His eyes widened, and he stretched his neck hard, his voice trembling slightly, "If Duke Xi was defeated, or Li Jishi was defeated, the number of thieves who came to support should not be just this small, and the lineup would not be so scattered.

..."

Zhang Jingzhi's voice got louder and louder as he spoke, and the joy on his face grew stronger: "This group of thieves don't look like they are coming for help, but they look like they are running for their lives?"

Yang Shu was stunned and glared at Zhang Jingzhi again: Are you drunk?

If they were trying to escape for their lives, why didn't this group of Huqi flee to an open area instead of infiltrating into the military formation?

Could it be that he came to save Liu Huiwang?

Joke!

Is Liu Huiwang his father or his son?

But if he spoke too loudly, he might get slapped in the face. Yang Shu just muttered a few words in his heart, said no more, and stretched his neck to take a look.

In fact, when they heard that officers and soldiers were fleeing from the southeast, they had already guessed: Xi Kangsheng had fallen into a trap...

The rebels were not limited to Liu Huiwang under Jingzhou City and Hu Qi inside Quaigu City.

It might even be more than doubled, and maybe even stronger than Xi Kangsheng.

Otherwise, where did those defeated troops come from?

Therefore, nine times out of ten, Li Yun from South Road has been defeated.

As for Xi Kangsheng?

God knows...

Otherwise, why had the battle at Jingzhou City been fought for half a day and turned into a mess, but Xi Kangsheng, let alone rescue, did not even send a probing horse to take a look?

Yang Shu wondered whether Xi Kangsheng ran to rescue Li Yun, but followed in his footsteps and jumped into the trap?

Now that I think about it, from beginning to end, Liu Huiwang was just a bait, put out to trick Xi Kangsheng into taking the bait.

But that’s an army of fifty thousand?

Yang Shu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "In Li Chengzhi's words, even fifty thousand pigs would have to be killed for a while, let alone just one night?"

"So, it's not necessarily bad news... It's very possible that as I said: this group of Huqi were chased here..."

Zhang Jingzhi calmed down and said, "In all likelihood, Duke Xi and Li Qishi have defeated the rebel army and forced this group of Huqi to flee for their lives..."

"Where do you get the confidence to say such a thing?" Yang Shu sneered, "Afraid you don't even believe it yourself, but you use it to fool me?"

"It's not that I have confidence, but that of Li Chengzhi!" Zhang Jingzhi breathed out a heavy breath and pointed down again, "Do you think this military formation is at all in a state of panic?"

Yang Shu took a look and suddenly realized.

No wonder Zhang Jingzhi didn’t panic at all?

The white-armored phalanx remained as stable as a rock. Even though the monk soldiers rushed forward and attacked one after another, it never swayed even an inch.

A thick layer of corpses has been laid out in front of the two armies. The monk soldiers used them as stepping stones and wanted to fly down and pounce on them.

But the result can only be death faster.

Starting from the fourth row, the spears are all raised diagonally. After passing the first three rows of spearmen, there are still six or seven feet exposed in front of the formation.

As soon as the monk soldier jumped up, he was hung on the tip of his spear...

Li Chengzhi is as tall as a mountain, looking quietly to the southeast.

The earth dragon is getting closer and closer, less than two miles away from the two formations...

At some point, Li Song also joined the formation and stayed beside Li Chengzhi.

There are about a hundred riders under the ladder, and the ladder is surrounded by water. If you look carefully, you can find that they are all the younger generation of the Li family: Li Liang, Li Zhang, Li Xian, Li Rui, Li Ming...

"Lang Jun..." Li Song cupped his fists and bowed his body slightly, as if he didn't dare to look into Li Chengzhi's eyes, "You go into the stronghold and have a rest for a while, and change the servants to practice hard..."

At this juncture, do you want me to enter the village and train with you instead?

Li Song, are you not drunk?

Li Chengzhi turned his head suspiciously. When he saw the tragic look on Li Song's face and the disciples standing in the audience, his face suddenly darkened: "His head was kicked by a donkey?"

Li Song clearly wanted him to run for his life.

"Lang Jun, it has been nearly two hours since the fierce battle at dawn. If there is a victory, it is impossible for Duke Xi and Li Qishi not to send even a fast horse... This is obviously a defeat..."

"Defeat?" Li Chengzhi chuckled, "Li Song, you underestimated Xi Kangsheng..."

He didn't know what Li Yun was like, but Xi Kangsheng's reputation shouldn't be too loud.

According to later historical records, after the pacification of Jingzhou, Xi Kangsheng was moved to the position of governor of Jingzhou and continued to guard the five states in Guanzhong. Then he killed all the rebel soldiers and refugees who were coerced by Liu Huiwang and participated in the rebellion, totaling tens of thousands.

There are even rumors that the two Buddhist caves in the south of Qingyang and in the north of Jingchuan were built by Xi Kangsheng to suppress the ghosts of injustice.

Only a few people have died now, and even the two grottoes are gone. Do you expect Xi Kangsheng to lose?

Even if he, the butterfly, puffed up his arms and slapped Xi Kangsheng a few times, he should be fanning Xi Kangsheng stronger and stronger. There is no reason to fan Xi Kangsheng weaker and weaker...

"Use your brain, Li Song..."

Li Chengzhi groaned as if he had toothache, "The army of fifty thousand is really going to collapse. How can it be possible that even a single fish that slips through the net can't escape? The mountains and plains are absolutely full of defeated troops... But it's been two hours,

How many of Li Zhaola have you seen coming back?"

Li Song's eyes suddenly bulged: Yes, where is Li Zhao?

Let him take over the defeated troops, but no one has been seen for two hours?

And Li Shi, I asked him to investigate, but he didn’t get back any movement for half a day?

If there really was a war, Li Shi had too few soldiers, so he would not dare to get close. So it is not surprising that he could not find any information.

But no matter who wins or loses, there will definitely be a collapse.

It makes no sense that it’s been half a day. Li Zhao can’t pick up anyone, right?

Unless there was no big war at all?

Or maybe there were hundreds of thousands of rebels who surrounded the battlefield into an iron barrel and wiped out all 50,000 officers and soldiers without missing a single one?

Impossible!

What is the concept of hundreds of thousands?

The number of rebels and refugees under Liu Huiwang's command is less than 100,000. Look how extensive this camp is.

A full radius of four or five miles...

Xi Kangsheng is not blind. How can he not see so many people?

Li Song always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it for a while.

Li Chengzhi had some guesses, but firstly, he was not sure, and secondly, he had no time, so he did not explain, but quickly issued an order: "Instruct Huangfu to step aside, Li Zhao, Li Shi, etc. return to camp immediately... Instruct Li Zhao to lead the car.

The battalion entered the formation, and after Huangfu gave way to return to the camp, Li Feng was ordered to lead the cavalry camp, each guarding the left and right wings of the formation. Once the enemy cavalry came to attack, immediately retreat three miles to the west..."

The flag soldiers responded respectfully, raised the green signal flag, and waved it quickly southward several times.

Later, perhaps after receiving a message similar to "received", the flag soldier lowered the green flag and raised a red flag...

Not long after, there was another whistle in the distance, but it was no longer as sharp as before, the tone was much gentler, and it was long and lingering.

This means that the situation has eased slightly. It seems that the enemy cavalry did not rush directly towards the military formation.

The whistle is getting closer and closer, and along with the smoke and dust, we are retreating towards the camp.

……

Two moments later, all the generals of the Baijia Battalion gathered under the watchtower to decide whether to defend, attack or withdraw, just waiting for Li Chengzhi's order.

Li Chengzhi stared closely at the front lines of the two armies, which were still fighting fiercely.

For some reason, the group of Huqi did not join the battlefield immediately, but all entered the camp?

The situation was not too critical, so he made no arrangements for the time being and called back all the generals.

It’s a good time to ask what has happened in the past half day.

Li Chengzhi glanced down, looked at the generals, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Shi: "Speak!"
