first-class champion

Xiao An reined in his mount after crossing the river, and waited for the people behind to continue to come. Xiao An had an army of [-], and the army was mighty. There are countless tents in the lower camp, all of which are Tang-style banners. Looking from a distance, I can see faint lights on the head of Qixian County, and there is no sound of fighting.

Xiao An was very suspicious, he called the Qi county general who reported the news and asked: "Xu Jing, when you came to see this general, how was the situation in the city?"

Xu Jing clasped his fists and said, "Return to the general. At that time, the Tang army was attacking the city. The killing sound was fierce, and the sky was boiling."

Xiao An thought for a while, and then asked the scouts he had sent: "What is the situation you are observing?"

The Tanma said: "General, because there are sentry patrols outside the Tang army camp, I dare not get too close. I got off my horse and sneaked closer. I only vaguely heard talking and laughing in the camp. I also saw piles of bonfires lit in front of some tents, as if cooking and eating, so I hurried back to report."

After hearing this, Xiao An stood on the spot, tapped the saddle lightly with the whip, and fell into deep thought.

In the city of Qi County, Luo Shifeng turned off the lights, and was protected by two large shields. He leaned on the dish wall and quietly looked at the movement below the city. He was a little puzzled: "The gate of the northern city is still in the hands of the Tang army. It all depends on the sharp arrows of the Wengcheng. It was only when he went out that he abruptly blocked his attack, why did the Tang army stop attacking suddenly? He set up camp outside the city, lighting a fire and cooking, what is he going to do?"

Hearing that the fighting had stopped for a while, he rushed to the city to visit Yang Cheng with trepidation. Wen Wu also felt a little puzzled when he saw the movement outside the city. Several people got together and murmured for a long while, and then said to Luo Shifeng: "General, it is not easy to attack a city, but it is difficult to attack a trapped city." No embarrassment, could it be that Tang Jun wants to trap our Qi County to death?"

Luo Shifeng laughed dumbfounded: "How is it possible? The army of the Southern and Northern Expeditions penetrated into our Khitan territory. They have no reinforcements, no food and grass. He wants to take my Qixian County. He has to fight and set up camp here? It's unreasonable! Our Khitan reinforcements are pouring Now that the moment is up, even if Duan Mingyu is stupid, are all his generals stupid? A lunatic would not make such a choice."

Several civil and military officers looked at each other, unable to tell why, so they could only nervously say: "Then, the people of Tang must have some sinister plan, the general must be careful."

Luo Shifeng frowned, stretched his brows lightly, and said: "The behavior of Tang people is against common sense, and this general also thinks that there must be fraud in it. It's just... hum! Ignore him, this general responds to all changes by staying the same, When the reinforcements arrive, the people of Tang are full of clever tricks, how can the gnats shake the big tree? Pass down the order, strictly guard, and wait for the reinforcements!"

"General Xiao, my family, General Luo, has been exhorting and exhorting, saying that the Tang army has concentrated [-] troops to attack Qi County. There are only less than [-] people in the city. It may not be able to last for a long time. How can the general stop and support the army? Rescuing soldiers is like putting out fire, general. !"

Because Xiao An stood still, Xu Jing knelt down in front of Pan Zhong, expressing his feelings bitterly, with a look of worrying about the coach and burning with anxiety, Xiao An's eyes sparkled, and he said in a deep voice: "Qi county doesn't need to be saved, Looking at this situation, Qi County must have fallen into Duan Mingyu's hands, the Tang army has won a new victory, the morale is like a rainbow, and the soldiers are more numerous than this general, the current plan is to return to Youzhou first, and then make a decision."

Xu Jing "turned pale with shock", and said quickly: "General, what about my General Luo?"

Xiao An looked back in the direction of Xiong County, and said calmly: "If General Luo hadn't escaped from the siege, he might have died for his country at this moment, let's go!"

"The general can't go!"

Xu Jing jumped up and grabbed the reins of his horse, begging bitterly: "General, taking advantage of Tang Jun's unsteady foothold, he suddenly kills the general at this moment, maybe he can be caught off guard and rescue my general!"

"fart!"

Xiao An pointed at Xu Jing with a horsewhip, and shouted: "He even set up camp and cooked the rice, and you still say that the foothold is not secure?"

The deputy general also said: "Master Xiao, Qi County has been lost, our army is not as good as the enemy, we should go back to Baoyou Prefecture, otherwise we will lose our fundamentals, and I am afraid that Your Excellency will also be punished by General Yelu."

Xiao An nodded and said: "What the general said is true, send an order to return to Youzhou!"

The order was passed, and the rear team of Xiao An's army changed to the front team, and the front team changed to the rear team, and began to return to Youzhou.Although this army is well-trained, they rushed all the way here, and then suddenly turned back. The army was mobilized and switched back and forth, and there was a confusion, especially when the soldiers heard that Xiong County was lost, and the general returned without a fight. , morale is inevitably low.

When they were in a mess, they suddenly heard the sound of a trumpet. When they came, countless people and horses suddenly appeared in the hillside forest not far from the bank, and they came straight to the bridge. Xiao An was shocked: "No! Ambush, cross the river, cross the river quickly!"

How could Duan Mingyu be easy to deal with? When he was determined to attack Qixian County, he already understood that the soldiers and horses of Youzhou and Qixian County formed horns, supported each other, and took care of each other. It has been decided to send Ge Congzhou, let the two confidant generals go their separate ways, with Xu Jing as the vanguard, fight first, then Xu Jing pretends to be the Khitan Han army to ask for help, and finally let the troops who stopped Xiao An, But at this time, Qi County was attacked by force. No matter how much the price was paid, this first battle must be won!

As a result, Shang Rang's army still ambushed by the Fuding Bridge according to the original plan. This is only the first link of his chain plan.

Xiao An was in ambush, and at the critical moment when the army turned around and was about to retreat to Youzhou, the morale was low and the formation was chaotic. Shang Rang led the army to charge, and immediately killed him by surprise. The three armies were in chaos, and suddenly another group of soldiers appeared , the banner played was Luo Shifeng, Xiao An was terrified, did Luo Shifeng also surrender to the Tang army?Shocked, Xiao An became even more unwilling to fight, and immediately broke out in the direction of Youzhou. As soon as the commander fled, the army was defeated for a while. It's just to see who runs fast, the flags, drums, knives and guns are all abandoned on the ground.

At this time, there were already killing sounds in the city of Qi County, and Luo Shifeng was finally defeated and awarded the head.

Yelufeng was surprised to hear that Xiao An had returned in defeat, and that Luo Shifeng had also surrendered to the Tang Army. As expected, Duan Mingyu came to support Youzhou. The Tang Army's army was stationed outside the city. The three armies looked far away, stretching as far as the eye can see, and stationed all the way to the bank of the Gaoliang River. Under the careful construction of a Khitan general, this already impeccable city has added [-] soldiers and horses, reaching [-] people.

Outside the city, there are nearly 20 troops of the Tang army, with a ten-mile company battalion, mighty and mighty, like an iron wall and a copper wall.
