Cheng Yanjin's face was a little red when Qin Qiong's faceless words were remarkable, and he couldn't hold his face, so he could only say to Li Jing: "The last general...... At the end of the stomachache, I want to go to make it easier! ”

Gao Pet and Xia Ruqi fought for a long time without winning or losing, and Liu Xiu knew at this time, this Gao Pet's skills should not be underestimated, Xia Ruqi couldn't fight him, and Xia Ruqi seemed to be suppressed. Liu Xiu knew that Charuqi's defeat would be sooner or later, which was the same as he expected.

And Cheng Biting Jin was rejected by Qin Qiong, and he was angry in his heart, but he was helpless, in the first battle, he could no longer replicate the situation when the three-plate axe repelled Xia Ruqi. Whether it's Choshi or Charucci, he can't beat it, and now that Gao Pet can fight Charucci head-on for so long, he is indeed much stronger than himself.

Cheng Yanjin rode a horse, thinking about something as he walked, and then seemed to hear some buzzing sound, Cheng Yanjin didn't know what the situation was, so he followed the sound and looked over. didn't hope it was okay, but Yiwang almost scared Cheng Yanjin off the horse.

A black swarm of bees gathered not far away, I don't know how many there are now, but it is a spherical shape with a radius of about three feet, and it is still flying from all directions, seeing this scene, Cheng Yanjin felt goosebumps all over his body.

"It's not good, this must be Liu Feng's demon method! When General Li reminded me before, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true! ”

Cheng Yanjin thought that in the past month or so, he had been reluctant to believe it, and the soldiers under Li Jing's command were still wearing face toveins before, but gradually everyone felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so they also took them off. But when Cheng Yanjin saw this bee colony, he knew that something was going to happen this time.

Cheng Biting Jin didn't say a word, and immediately urged the horse to rush back, shouting while running, "Oh no, disaster is coming!" General, woe is coming! ”

It didn't take long for him to come to Li Jing's side, but at this time, the army was attacking the city under the leadership of Qin Qiong and Gao Chong. Because Gao Zhong had just repelled Xia Ruqi, Li Jing wanted to take this opportunity to carry out another wave of impact on Hukou Pass, hoping to gain an advantage.

"General Cheng, what are you shouting nonsense? Doesn't your stomach hurt? ”

Li Jing couldn't help but look at him with a smile.

"General, it's not good, bees, poisonous bees, wasps...... There are so many bees, hurry, withdraw the troops! ”

Li Jing frowned, looked at Cheng Yanjin and said, "General Cheng, what are you talking about?" Where are the bees? ”

"It's not far away, it's coming, General!"

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely not believe Cheng Yanjin's words, but Li Jing had already received Wu Liren's warning before, although during this time, he had not found out what witchcraft Liu Xiu was using, and Li Jing also relaxed his vigilance. But when Cheng Biting Jin brought up the old matter again, Li Jing's face still changed, and people immediately ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

At this time, Qin Qiong and Gao Chong didn't understand what was going on at all, and the attack was in full swing, and Li Jing suddenly ordered the withdrawal of troops - but both of them were also people who must obey the order, so without saying a word, they immediately began to command the army to withdraw.

At this time, Liu Xiu, who was watching the battle on the city wall, saw that the enemy was retreating, and couldn't help but let out a "huh", and immediately shouted: "General Xia, General Yao, quickly, lead the army out of the city to kill the enemy, and break the enemy today!" ”

Neither of them knew why they had been defending for so many days, and they had to go out of the city to meet the enemy today, and they didn't know what affected the enemy who suddenly retreated.

"Childe, this can't be the enemy's trick to lure the enemy, right?"

Liu Xiu laughed and said: "No, there must be something wrong in the rear of the enemy, the two generals go quickly!" ”

Cho looked forward to Liu Xiu's weak appearance, and thought of the previous two times, as if he had thought of something all at once, and immediately nodded.

While Li Jing asked people to retreat, he asked all the soldiers to quickly take out the face towels they had prepared before putting them on first, and at the same time asked people to prepare torches, wanting to drive away the approaching swarm.

It's just that many of the soldiers and horses who are retreating at this time have not received such orders, and many of them have already thrown their face towels aside, but at this time, the black swarm of bees has already rushed over from the southwest.

After seeing this bee colony, many soldiers felt their scalps tingle, thinking of what Li Jing asked them to prepare before, some of them quickly took it out themselves, while some of them were a little flustered, and they didn't know what to do.

"General, what should we do if we run out of face towels?"

At this time, Qin Qiong thought for a moment, and hurriedly said loudly: "Quick, pull out a piece of your underwear!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they immediately understood, but if they wanted to do it, they had to take off their armor first, and by this time the pursuers behind had already arrived, and the swarm was about to surround them.

"The soldiers with the scarves will follow me to resist the pursuers!"

Qin Qiong already knew at this time that all this was made by Liu Xiu, if at this time, this poisonous bee and the Wei army in the pass were killed together, it would inevitably make the Zhou army collapse at this time.

Therefore, Qin Qiong immediately made a decision, and immediately organized the soldiers who could still have face towels to resist the Wei army killed from the pass first, and let the others prepare first.

At this time, Gao Qiong was still a little confused, he was just about to withdraw the army, and now Qin Qiong was about to meet the enemy again, Qin Qiong didn't have time to explain to him, but hurriedly urged: "Quickly give General Gao a face towel, General Gao, you and I will resist the pursuit of the Wei army together!" ”

Although Gao Chong didn't know how it could be, he also followed Qin Qiong's advice and killed the Wei army who chased him together.

The swarm had already swept across the battlefield like a hurricane at this time - although most of the Zhou army had been fully prepared, there was still an eye exposed after all. This swarm of bees seemed to be affected by some magical power, and attacked Zhou Jun desperately.

Li Jing knew that this swarm of bees was coming, so he immediately asked the archers to prepare fire arrows and shot towards the densest place of the swarm, and the bow and arrows with fire oil immediately ignited the swarm, and the smell of burning suddenly filled the entire battlefield.

Even so, the black swarm of bees continued to attack, and many people were stung to varying degrees. The physical pain is okay, but the most serious impact of the bee colony is that the soldiers of the Zhou army have panic, which is a kind of powerlessness.

Fortunately, Qin Qiong made a quick decision and temporarily blocked the pursuing Wei army with Gao Zhong and some soldiers, otherwise once even the Wei army joined the pursuit, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

These bee swarms, like a well-trained army, specialize in picking up the soldiers of the Zhou army to attack, and the soldiers of the Wei army on the battlefield, as if they can't see it, at this time, Choshi is even more convinced, all of this is related to Liu Feng.

After about an hour, the swarm suddenly seemed to have received another order, and suddenly began to move away from the battlefield, and at this time, the tortured and scarred Zhou army was finally relieved, and they all fled to the Zhou army camp.

At this time, Qin Qiong and Gao Chong, who were responsible for intercepting the Wei army's pursuers, also immediately led the army to retreat, not daring to continue the war.

Charucci saw that the enemy had already withdrawn, and there was not much chance for him, so he had no choice but to withdraw all of them.

After this battle, there were about four or five thousand soldiers in the Zhou army who were stung by a swarm of bees, except for nearly a thousand people who were unlucky and were bitten by many bees together, most of them were only swollen near their eyes, but after all, preparations were made in advance, especially Cheng Biting Jin's early warning, so that Li Jing commanded the army to do a good defense. Otherwise, if it were a quarter of an hour later, the losses would have been very heavy.

And Cheng Yanjin thought of the words he had doubted Li Jing before, and felt a little guilty in his heart, so he stepped forward and pleaded guilty: "The last general was still suspicious of the general before, but today I didn't expect that the enemy really used this kind of means, and I hope the general will punish him!" ”

Seeing that Cheng Biting Jin's face was also bitten with a few big bags, Li Jing couldn't help but laugh and said, "General Cheng, you actually admit your mistake, I really can't imagine it!" But you are really a lucky general, just because you left in anger, you actually saw the gathered bee swarm, warned in advance, and reduced a lot of damage to our army, which is also a great credit to you! As for the mistakes you made before, I won't pursue them! Don't be too reckless in the future! ”

Although this battle was a complete victory for Liu Xiu, Li Jing handled it properly, and finally did not cause too serious consequences, but the biggest impact was the morale of the Zhou army, many people were more or less stung by the swarm, so Li Jing knew that if he wanted to attack again, he was afraid that it would be impossible, so he could only choose to withdraw his troops and write a report to Wu Liren at the same time.

Wu Liren knew in his heart that although Liu Xiu's skills were very powerful, he had to have a three-month cooldown time - so if he wanted to defeat Liu Xiu, then these three months should be grasped. Therefore, Wu Liren immediately replied to Li Jing, asking him to rest for a month and immediately launch a new round of attack. Anyway, Liu Xiu won't have much support now, plus in terms of force, with the addition of Gao Chong, a fierce general, Wu Liren is completely relieved - as long as he doesn't face Li Yuanba, then Gao Chong can be invincible.

At the same time, Zuo Zongtang's westward expedition army has also continued to advance from the southeast of Yizhou, and Zuo Zongtang still adopts consistent measures, fighting steadily and steadily, and has temporarily taken the entire Yizhou County. Now that he has subdued Meng Shu and asked him to come forward to stabilize the people in these areas, the progress is still very smooth. At this time, Fu Jian has no ability to fight back, and the only thing he has to do now is to defend Chengdu.

There is a local force in Yizhou County, and the person headed by it is a local tyrant named Yonghong in Shuzhong, after he heard about Zuo Zongtang's seven captures and seven longitudinal Meng Huo, he felt that he was not an opponent at all, so he chose to surrender. Zuo Zongtang was naturally very happy and let Yonghong continue to serve as the county guard in Yizhou County, while Zuo Zongtang continued to lead the army towards Yongchang County.

Yizhou County, the county guard.

Yonghong was looking at the person in front of him with a cautious face at this time, "You said that you are the envoy under the command of the king of Yunnan?" Now that I have voted for the king of Zhou, and the king of Zhou and the king of Yunnan are already mortal enemies, are you here today to send you to death? I'm worried that I don't have any credit, come on! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the man laugh and said: "I treat you as a hero, so I want to give you a great good thing today, but I didn't expect you to be an eagle dog willing to be Wu Ming, it's really ridiculous!" ”

Hearing this, Yonghong hurriedly asked the soldiers outside the door to retreat, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of good thing Mr. said is a good thing?" Eagle dogs aren't really bad, are they? ”

"Hehe, could it be that Lord County Shou has never heard a sentence: the birds are good and the bows are hidden, and the cunning rabbits are dead and the lackeys are cooked? The eagle dog is good, but if Wu Ming can really dominate the world one day, I am afraid that the county guard will end up like this, and the county guard will still think that this eagle dog is good? ”

The person who came looked confident, which made Yonghong a little curious at this time, and quickly got up, came to him, and asked, "I don't know what advice Mr. has?" What's so good? By the way, I haven't asked Mr. Daim yet. ”

The person who came nodded and said: "A certain is Su Qin, the younger brother of Su Lie, a general under the command of the King of Yunnan." The good thing I said is that now Zuo Kui is leading the army to attack Yongchang, and his rear is completely handed over to the county guard. If the county guard uses a little means, it can make the left leader of the front line have no way out. When the time comes, Zuo Kui's army will be destroyed, and the king of Yunnan will support the county guard to establish himself as the king here. ”

The person who came was naturally Su Qin, even though Fu Jian did not have the ability to launch a military operation here at this time and block Zuo Zongtang's footsteps, but he still had to delay Zuo Zongtang's pace as much as possible, otherwise when Zuo Zongtang outflanked him from behind, then he would really become a turtle in the urn.

After listening to Su Qin's words, Yonghong was naturally happy in his heart - if it was possible, who wouldn't like to split the earth and seal the king? It's just that before, with Fu Jian by his side, he didn't dare to have such ambitions. And now, since Fu Jian wants to support himself, Yonghong's heart has been active.

"But as far as I know, now that the king of Yunnan has been defeated and retreated by Wu Ming's army of the Western Expedition, what ability can he take care of my business? At that time, if the king of Yunnan is repelled by Wu Ming, then how can I be alone in this small Yizhou County? Sir, I'm afraid I'm going to be a cannon fodder, right? ”

Yonghong is not stupid, even though he knows that this is a great thing, but he doesn't dare to believe it easily in his heart, he knows that there must be many traps in it, and he is talking about one of them.

"The county watchman is very right! But probably the county guard doesn't know, in the past half a year, I have traveled to a lot of places, I have been to Wudu in Xiliang, and Yecheng in Jizhou, whether it is Ma Teng, the king of Xiliang, or Liu Bei, the king of Wei, at this time, they have already dealt with Wu Ming with the king of Yunnan! Forgive him how much ability Wu Ming has to deal with the siege of the three princes at the same time? During the previous battle of Chengdu, Su Lie at home made a surprise effort to burn the grain and grass of the Zhou army, and at this time, Qin Zhao and Chen Xu's western expeditionary army had already retreated. And Xiliang Ma Chao is confronting Zhou Jun in Ba County, in this case, if the county guard is still worried, then Su Qin may have come to find the wrong person today! ”
