As soon as Xiangyang was broken, Jinghong's Nanyang defense line also lost any support.

Ye Qing decisively sent Zhao Yun to ask him to capture Caiyang City in Nanyang, and then attack Tongling, Suixian, and around Jinghong's left rear wing.

He also ordered Zhang He and his troops from Wancheng to advance eastward.

"Master General, the Zhou army suddenly had an abnormal movement, and Zhang He's troops came out of the city and rushed eastward.

There was also a report in the south, and Zhao Yun's troops attacked Cai Yang." Sun Miao walked in and reported the news he had just learned.

Dragging his sickness, Jing Hong rushed to the wall and swept the maps of Nanyang and Nanjun with his eyes.

He sighed for a last long time: "Xiangyang is over, Xiang Yan is defeated."

"Master General, what do you mean is that Di Qing captured Xiangyang, so Ye Qing sent Zhao Yun to attack our army's rear, trying to cooperate with Zhang He to attack our army's 200,000 army!" Sun Miao was not a fool either. As a strategist, he had the ability to analyze and support more than Jing Hong.

Jing Hong coughed out two mouthfuls of blood and nodded: "Of course, except for this possibility, Ye Qing could not divide his troops to attack us.

Not only was Xiangyang lost, but the Great Zhou had not lost any troops, so he continued to launch an attack and wanted to capture the entire Nanyang County!"

"That handsome guy, we..."

"Retreat! Tongbai Dafu Mountain has lost its barrier function due to its meridians. When we go to Runan, the richest counties in the empire cannot make any mistakes!"

…………

Jing Hong also retreated simply, and Zhao Yun, Zhang He and other troops easily captured the eastern part of Nanyang County without any bloodshed.

At this point, the Nanjun of Chuyue Kingdom completely fell into the pocket of Dazhou.

The northwest gate of Chuyue Kingdom was completely opened.

Nanjun, Jiangxia, and Runan were all exposed to the Great Zhou army.

Let’s look at Xiang Yan.

Although most of the troops withdrew from Xiangyang, Xiang Yan, who had been walking overnight, did not see the pursuers of the Great Zhou, but instead became even more uneasy.

If something goes wrong, there will be a demon.

It was not until dawn that the Great Zhou infantry went south to Xiangyang.

"No, where did the cavalry of the Great Zhou go?"

"Even if Ye Qing's cavalry did not go south, the cavalry of the Zhuque Army should go south.

Where have they all gone!"

The cavalry of the Great Zhou cannot be found.

Xiang Yan's heart was filled with mist.

"How long will it take to get to Yiguo City?"

Xiang Yan asked casually.

His confidant replied: "General, you should be able to arrive before dark!"

It's dark!

It's just dawn now, and I'll have to walk all day long.

Too slow.

Not insured.

Xiang Yan looked serious and told thousands of words: "Tell the soldiers to speed up their pace. You must arrive at Yiguo City two hours before dark!"

"General, I'm afraid this cannot be done. Our army has too many wounded soldiers, and such a huge army is rushing together, so we won't come at all!" his subordinate advised: "General, will we have someone build a simple military camp in the frontier in advance?"

After walking for a night, the defeated army was very tired.

Even during the day, it is slow to travel.

This is the negative effect of physical strength reduction.

My confidant must include this reason.

Xiang Yan shook his head: "There is no need. You must enter Yiguo City before dark. It is too dangerous to camp outside. It will slow down the entire army and execute all the troops according to military law!"

Silk!

Military law execution.

Too ruthless, too harsh!

"Go down and pass the order and do what you want!"

"promise!"

Strictly order.

Sure enough, tens of thousands of troops were moving much faster.

It did arrive at Yiguo City before dark.

However, it is different from what Xiang Yan and others planned.

The city of Yiguo was filled with thick smoke and the fire was rising into the sky.

Countless people are fighting fires inside and outside the city to find water.

"Why can't you go back? Why did the Yiguo City catch fire?" Xiang Yan was almost furious.

How can such a large army enter the city to rest?

The main general who came here early ran out and bowed down and said:

"General, the Great Zhou sent a large number of spies and arranged combustible objects in the city as early as the time of noon. At noon, we were in danger of our army and attracted many places in the city.

So much so that the city was burned by a fire. The general was negligent and asked the general to punish him!”

"You..." Xiang Yan was so angry that she was half-hearted.

If it's just a city burned, it's fine.

The army could not barely spend one night in the field.

The problem is food.

A large amount of food was stockpiled in the city.

The 200,000 troops ate, all of which were astronomical.

If you don’t have food, you will die alive.

"Come on! I'll drag it out and behead you!" Xiang Yan waved his hand and gave the order reluctantly.

Military law is ruthless.

If you commit a serious crime, you will never escape the death penalty.

The generals he can choose must be talented and attached great importance to.

No one wants this if it is changed.

The other generals all looked sad.

No one would have thought that the war would become like this.

Forget it if you lose.

Just hurry on the road.

Now I can't even eat.

Then how can you live? There is no need to rush to go tomorrow.

"Tell Yicheng that they can deliver food overnight!" Xiang Yan thought for a while and said:

"Go to the wealthy families nearby to collect food. Remember to only collect wealthy families, but ordinary people cannot move!"

"It's the general!"

Xiang Yan's subordinates went down to do it immediately.

Soon the people who solicited large households came back, but the food was not arrived, and they only brought back the housekeepers of these large households.

"General, there is no problem in collecting food, but how do you calculate this money!"

These butlers smiled brightly.

The face of a philistine is undoubtedly revealed.

Xiang Yan knew what they were thinking.

He closed his eyes and snorted coldly: "Tell your head that money is not too small, so hurry up and get the food. Such a large army of the empire is still waiting to be put into the pot, and it delays the military and national affairs, and you can't afford it.

And don’t be lucky. If something happens to the imperial army, your family’s wealth will not be saved. The Great Zhou will loot you!”

"Yes, yes, the general said yes, let's go transport food now!"

These butlers agreed and showed a pleasing look.

After saying goodbye to Xiang Yan, he turned around and said to Xiang Yan's subordinates: "This general, the current season is very precious, and the price should be twice as high as usual. You have no objection!"
