"How could this happen? How could this happen? How could my brother Wang be defeated? He is the great god Huang Tian who came down to earth, how could he be defeated?"

Hong Xuanjiao was shocked and said incoherently, unable to believe the cruel fact in front of her.

Sima Hui first came to his senses and hurriedly reminded: "General Hong, why don't you open the camp gate quickly and let the king come in."

Hong Xuanjiao woke up immediately and was anxious to order the soldiers to open the camp gate quickly.

The gate opened, Hong Xiuquan rode his horse to flee for the first time, Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui followed closely, and then tens of thousands of defeated Taiping soldiers rushed into the camp.

"Brother Wang, what's going on? We can't have lost, right?" Hong Xuanjiao asked impatiently. Until now, she was unwilling to accept the facts.

Hong Xiuquan's face was as gloomy as iron, and there was a hint of shame and annoyance between his eyebrows. He didn't know how to explain to his sister, so he just stared at Yang Xiuqing with complaint.

Yang Xiuqing looked angry and cursed: "Our army was bound to win in this battle. Who would have thought that King Zhong would dare to retreat in the face of the battle, which would ruin my overall layout and lead to our army's complete defeat. It was Li Xiucheng's fault!"

Just then, the defeated Li Xiucheng rode his horse and ran to the camp. When he saw Hong Xiuquan, he quickly turned over and got off the horse and came to meet him.

But before he could kneel down, Yang Xiuqing took the lead and angrily scolded: "Li Xiucheng, you are so brave. You dare to retreat without authorization, causing the army to collapse and be defeated. What should you blame!"

Hong Xiuqing was even more angry and shouted angrily: "Li Xiucheng, you dare to disobey my will. Do you want to rebel?"

"Stop the wrath of the heavenly king, stop the wrath of the heavenly king." Li Xiucheng wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and hurriedly defended himself: "I never expected that the power of the Wei Demon Turtle Shell Shield Array and the Spear Light Cavalry was so powerful. My Shield Array was no match for it at all. If I persisted, I would only be wiped out by the entire army. I had no choice but to order the retreat. I would also ask the Heavenly King to forgive me."

Yang Xiuqing rebuked: "Even if the enemy is so good, you don't have the emperor's orders, how dare you retreat? If you can persist, even if the entire army is wiped out, you can still buy enough time for our army's attacking army. When the enemy camp is broken, what's the matter if you have 40,000 troops and horses are wiped out? Li Xiucheng, don't defend your timidity!"

After saying that, Yang Xiuqing bowed to Hong Xiuquan and said seriously: "The King of Heaven, this warrior is well-organized and could have won. It was because of Li Xiucheng's timidity that he lost all the game and defeated it. Li Xiucheng is a sinner of my heaven. Please order him to be executed to correct the holy law of my heaven!"

Li Xiucheng looked shocked and a deep fear suddenly appeared on his face, but because he did disobey the order, he felt ashamed and had to bow to Hong Xiuquan deeply, without saying a word, waiting for the treatment.

Hong Xiuquan looked angry and hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether Li Xiucheng should be executed.

In this moment, Sima Hui had already obtained the real process of the battlefield from the defeated soldiers, and only then did he know that the Wei army had sent out the magical Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

Sima Hui coughed a few times and persuaded: "The King of Heaven, although King Zhong is guilty, the cavalry of the Wei army was indeed unexpected. King Zhong also forced him to retreat without authorization. It is understandable that he will not die. Please be kind to the King of Heaven."

"no!"

Yang Xiuqing denied Sima Hui and said righteously: "There was Shi Dakai who refused to obey the lord before, and the king of heaven has been lenient. Now, Li Xiucheng disobeyed the lord and killed our army in such a great defeat. If the king of heaven does not impose the punishment, how can the brothers and sisters of the heavenly kingdom be convinced? Li Xiucheng must kill him!"

Hong Xiu's whole body shook violently, and murderous intent suddenly arose in his eyes.

He was determined to kill!

At this moment, Xiao Chaogui escaped into the camp outside the camp and exclaimed: "The King of Heaven, the big thing is not good. The King of Wings failed to break out and was captured alive by Wei Yao."

Crack!

Hong Xiu's whole body trembled again, and he felt a bolt from the blue, slashing his head hard, instantly slashing him to the point of dizziness, almost fainting on the spot.

Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui, Hong Xuanjiao and others all changed their expressions.

The defeated Taiping soldiers were already in a panic. After hearing this amazing news, they were even more severely injured and were shocked for a moment.

That's Shi Dakai, the strongest general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who is like a god of war, is now captured alive by the Wei army!

How could this incredible news be a heavy blow to the Taiping Army, and instantly drove their already depressed soldiers to the bottom.

"The Wing King actually, he actually—" Hong Xiuquan, in shock, gritted his teeth, was shocked and angry, and had completely lost his composure.

When he was shocked, in the north direction, the dust soared into the sky, and the sound of killing was broken. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Wei Kingdom's infantry and cavalry were already chasing like a tide, and they were about to enter the camp.

Hong Xiuquan's angry expression immediately became extremely panicked again. Looking at the panic-like soldiers, how could he defend the camp with the morale that had fallen to the bottom of the valley?

The kings, including the resourceful Yang Xiuqing, were a little disregarded for a while and did not know how to deal with it.

At such a critical moment, Sima Hui became the calmest and calm person.

He stepped forward and bowed and said lightly: "King of Heaven, our army is defeated now, and our morale has fallen to the bottom. We can never fight again. Linxiang City is absolutely impossible to take down. Only the current plan is to immediately withdraw the siege of Linxiang, collect the defeated troops and retreat to Guiyang County to the south, preserve its strength and make plans. As for King Zhong..."

Sima Hui coughed lightly and persuaded, "Although King Zhong is guilty, now King Yi has been captured, and our kingdom of heaven has lost a general. When using people, it is better to give King Zhong a chance to make meritorious contributions."

Sima Hui's series of persuasions made Hong Xiuquan wake up from shock and panic as if he was awakened. The previous anger disappeared.

He looked at Yang Xiuqing. The Eastern King of Heaven, who had previously insisted on opposing the fight, had to declare coldly every battle that even if he had fought to the last person, he would never retreat. At this moment, he was like a frost-frost-fried eggplant and no longer yelled to fight to the death.

"The King of Heaven, it's not too late. It's too late to wait until the enemy is here." Xu Shu couldn't help but urge.

Hong Xiuquan's last trace of so-called pride was dismissed by Xu Shu, and his eyes were filled with panic and shouted in a hurry: "Retreat, and order the entire army to withdraw and abandon the siege of Linxiang and retreat to Guiyang County--"

Before he could finish his words, he had already taken the lead and turned his horse on his back, whipping the whip desperately, and fleeing towards the south.

Yang Xiuqing didn't care about targeting Li Xiucheng anymore, so she glared at Li Xiucheng fiercely, and hurriedly turned over and fled.

The other kings such as Wei Changhui and Xiao Chaogui also boarded and fled.

"Brother Wang is Huang Tianxiayuan, how could he defeat the Tao Yao? Li Xiucheng is all your fault!" Hong Xuanjiao glared at Li Xiucheng resentfully, and just left.

Li Xiucheng looked ashamed, but at least he saved his life. Hong Xuanjiao's reprimand could only swallow his anger.

"King Zhong, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so let's evacuate quickly." Sima Hui did not have the slightest sense of blame, and even helped him up with his own hands.

Li Xiucheng stood up and bowed gratefully: "Thank you, Mr., for your words to help me. Xiucheng remembers it in my heart."

Sima Hui waved his hand and sighed: "Now that King Wing has been captured, the only general who can fight in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the only king of loyalty. In public and private, I can't watch the king destroy his own pillars."

The word "Dongliang" made Li Xiucheng feel warm and looked at Sima Hui gratefully. He never expected that Mr. Shuijing would value him so much.

In the end, Li Xiucheng could only shake his head and sigh, help Sima Hui onto the war horse, and arrange for soldiers to escort him to retreat south.

The war horses were running wildly. Sima Hui turned around and looked to the north, looking at the rolling craze of the Wei army, and looking at the Wei royal flag that was showing off his might. He seemed to be able to see how the Tao Shang was running wildly with a high spirit, leading a hundred thousand Wei troops to chase after him.

"Tao Shang, I didn't expect you to be so strong. No wonder my two students joined forces, neither of them were your opponents. It seems that from now on, I have to show my real ability to deal with you..."

While feeling moved, Sima Hui's old eyes burst out with a trace of cold murderous intent for the first time in his life.

Then, he turned around and beat the horse and whipped it, and ran south with the defeated Taiping Army and the others, without looking back.

After this battle, Hong Xiuquan's 170,000 troops in the camp suffered more than half of the losses and did not dare to stay in Lin. After the defeated soldiers joined the tens of thousands of besieged troops, they fled along the Xiangshui River toward Guiyang County like frightened sheep.

The Tao Shang led the victorious army to easily flatten the enemy camp, break through the enemy camp outside Linxiang, and headed straight to the city of Linxiang.

At this moment, Linxiang City, which had been surrounded for several months, finally got through.

As dusk approached, thousands of militia and city guards crowded on the city walls and witnessed the spectacular scene of the defeated Taiping Army's escape.

Seeing the Taiping Army who surrounded them for several months and showed off their power outside the city every day, they were in a panic and abandoned the camp outside the city...

Seeing the imperial flag of the Great Wei appear in sight, countless iron cavalry of the army chased from the north...

Looking at the emperor's banner, he appeared outside the North Gate City, in front of the King's Landing City...

On the top of the city, the soldiers and civilians of Linxiang City who had been guarding for several months were cheering and shouting, and were so excited that they burst into tears. The cry of "Long Live the Great Wei" resounded over the city.

Before the last ray of setting sun, the pottery merchant rode his horse and headed up and arrived at the north gate of Linxiang City.

The city gate had already opened wide, and countless soldiers and civilians knelt outside the city gate, kneeling to welcome the arrival of the pottery merchant as if they were greeting the savior.

A young official came forward a few steps forward, knelt in front of the Tao Shang, and bowed: "I am the magistrate of Linxiang County Zhang Xun, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
