If it is expected that the people of Lei Valley dared to chase and kill King Zheng's cavalry, it would be surprising that the more than 1,000 horsemen behind them actually followed suit and dared to follow suit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xia Zhenren looked at the cavalry of the rebel army who was chasing after him, and opened his mouth wide in astonishment, "The elite of Lei Gu is so brave!"

Of course, he knew that these miscellaneous fish dared to chase and kill because of the influence of Lei Gu, which is what is said in military terms, "soldiers are brave generals, and they will be soldiers' souls", and the army with the backbone and the army without the backbone are completely different.

The existence of the elite of Thunder Valley has given the rebels a core, so that the miscellaneous fish are not miscellaneous fish.

As soon as Lei Gu's side went crazy, King Zheng's army couldn't bear it, and what made them especially painful was that the little red devil didn't kill people without blinking, and he was very efficient.

In the end, the hundreds of chariots that went out of the city saw this and rushed over to use long-range weapons to meet the four or five hundred horsemen, but by this time, the three hundred horsemen were not enough.

However, just thinking about answering, they forgot that there was an opponent in the front, and Xia Zhenren was worthy of being the master who dared to worry about grabbing merit, and when he saw such a good opportunity, he directly ordered the sergeants to throw a trebuchet to destroy the opponent's chariot.

At the same time, because the chariot was focused on receiving the cavalry, it could not cover the flying boat behind it well, and Xia Zhenren issued another order, ordering the bed crossbow to throw large arrows and attack the flying boat transporting troops.

King Zheng's army was taken aback by the solidity, and although their casualties were not large, the rapid response of the officers and soldiers of the court on the opposite side still taught them a lesson--this is called a strong general.

Seeing that they were heavily guarded, the more than 10,000 cavalry infantry also stopped three miles away, and this battle could not be fought, you know, there were still tens of thousands of people on the other side of the Thunder Valley who did not move.

So they covered each other and slowly retreated to the camp.

Li Yongsheng and Xia Zhenren couldn't chase them, after all, they were halfway through the camp, and they left their work to pursue, maybe they hit the other party's mind - it was too common to disturb the enemy.

The first battle between the two sides ended hastily, with seven or eight hundred dead and wounded on King Zheng's side, and more than a dozen prisoners.

Through the interrogation of the prisoners, Li Yongsheng learned that the Xishan camp was really coming for reinforcements.

The number of people who came to help was not very large, 5,000 mounted infantry, 2,000 elite cavalry, and 100 chariots that could only be used on the frontal battlefield, and the leader of the troops was also a real person.

King Zheng's reinforcements arrived last night, and when they settled down, they got a tip-off that the imperial court soldiers and horses and Lei Gu had joined forces and came to attack the camp, so they decided to take advantage of the other party's ignorance of the situation and take the initiative to attack.

Who would have thought that the people of Lei Gu acted really unscrupulously, and they actually started directly, and King Zheng's army was caught off guard and suffered a small loss.

However, if the field battle can be fought like this, King Zheng's army can already be satisfied, and after taking the initiative to attack, it can still be withdrawn, and it is really worth it to find out the attitude of Lei Gu.

Li Yongsheng was not satisfied with such a confession, and he ordered to go down to understand the reason why King Zheng sent reinforcements - did that guy really want to hold on to Xishan?

But unfortunately, the little soldiers below really don't know this level of secret.

However, some people said that we only brought five days' rations with us this time, maybe the prince meant...... Shall we take the army back?

Li Yongsheng shook his head with a smile, "Please, as long as they can enter the camp within five days, how much food they need? ”

It's definitely good to be able to reason, but how much more reliable it is, is it successful?

Just as he was complaining, a Si Xiu from Thunder Valley came over to report, "Master Li, someone from King Zheng's Mansion is asking to see you." ”

The person who came was a middle-level cultivator, and after seeing the ceremony, he asked indignantly, "I am here to ask on behalf of the prince, when did the dignified Lei Gu collude with the imperial court, Master Li, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be once the news spreads?"

Li Yongsheng looked at him strangely, and touched his forehead speechlessly, "What do you think...... You're qualified to talk to me like that?"

"I'm sorry," the middle-ranking Si Xiu spat out two words stiffly.

But from his expression, he really didn't see any sense of apology, "I am here on behalf of the prince, what your Excellency has done has seriously violated the consensus and rules of Middle-earth, and the prince needs an explanation from you." ”

"King Zheng has also seriously violated the consensus and rules of Middle-earth, and he also owes Lei Gu an explanation," Li Yongsheng replied unreasonably, "He didn't explain to me, why should I explain to him?"

The middle-level Si Xiu replied stiffly, "The prince has a hard time, and I can't give this explanation." ”

"If you can't give it out, get out," Li Yongsheng waved his hand and spoke unceremoniously, "I can't be the master of King Zheng, but I came to me to explain...... Hehe, what do you think you are?"

The middle-level Si Xiu's chin was slightly raised, and he stared at the other party without giving an inch, "Anyway, the prince can be said to be an unintentional mistake, but what Your Excellency did is obvious to all, and it can't be said to be unintentional in any case...... Master Li really doesn't want to explain anything?"

"He has a problem, and of course I have it," Li Yongsheng replied lightly, "It's still that sentence, you don't deserve to know." ”

The middle-level Si Xiu asked expressionlessly, "Master Li, you really don't think about the consequences?"

"For the sake of you being the messenger, I will spare your life," Li Yongsheng waved his hand again, his impatience overflowing, "You can publicize it, see if I'm afraid or not...... It's good to go, but not to send. ”

"One last question," the middle-level Si Xiu stared at the other party tenaciously, "If we give up Xishan County, can the grievances between the royal mansion and Lei Gu be settled here?"

"Don't even think about it," Li Yongsheng replied very dryly, "I reiterate my request again...... If King Zheng thinks about ending this matter, he will personally go to Thunder Valley to explain!"

"Master Li, you are so stubborn, it is really difficult for us to do it," the middle-level Si Xiu was still chattering, "Lord Wang was originally willing to be your friend. ”

There was a threat in these words, but Li Yongsheng really didn't want to hear it anymore, he waved his hand, "Come on, take this guy out, if you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

Two priests came over and escorted this person away, and the vultures struggled and asked, "Master Li, we are now withdrawing from Xishan and not hurting each other, what do you think?"

Li Yongsheng looked at him and spoke lightly, "You have already asked the last question, if you dare to say one more word, I will hang you at the camp gate!"

After sending off the uninvited guests, Li Yongsheng thought about it for a while, and picked up the conch of transmission, "Xia Zhenren, closely monitor the other party's whereabouts, I feel that they are going to escape." ”

"Where did you go to the messenger?" Xia Zhenren's reaction was fast enough, but he immediately opened his hole cards, "I also have a messenger here...... They wanted to withdraw from Himayama, but I didn't agree. ”

"Oh?" Li Yongsheng became a little interested, "Don't you really want to recover Xishan, why don't you agree?"

The other side of the conch was silent for a long time before two words came, "Grain!"

There was no doubt that King Zheng wanted to withdraw from Xishan, and the reinforcements he sent were in charge of receiving them nine times out of ten - most likely grain and grass.

But now, the army of the imperial court has openly joined forces with Lei Gu, in this case, of course, Xia Zhenren does not want to let the other party leave easily - without food and grass, he regained Xishan, in fact, he is carrying a heavy burden, so many Xishan people are hungry.

However, Li Yongsheng and Xia Zhenren still underestimated each other's determination, and at midnight the next morning, the east gate of the camp opened silently, and a team of sergeants walked out.

Here at the east gate, there is no military camp for the imperial court and the rebel army, but there are more than 100 spies here? The rebel army has a horse team of 100 people, which is not only responsible for spying on the military intelligence, but also responsible for sniping messengers and other tasks.

Seeing a group of sergeants quietly coming out, the spies' first reaction was to set off the police fireworks, and at the same time beat the horses to escape, ran away, and then continued to observe.

The departure of the Xishan garrison this time was quite direct, and they did not hide their thoughts at all - in fact, they could not hide it either, and it was unrealistic to expect the other side to be blind in the big operation of more than 40,000 people.

The reason why they chose to leave the camp at the right time was just to make a time difference and delay the pursuit of the other side -- in the middle of the night, the soldiers were asleep, and when they got up and put the army in order, it was almost dawn, and it would take some time to pursue.

The action of the big camp is indeed a bit unexpected, but since Li Yongsheng and Xia Zhenren guessed each other's actions, it is inevitable to make some preparations.

There were 5,000 imperial officers and 15,000 rebels, all of whom were concentrated on the playground, not only lined up in formation, but also lay down with weapons and clothes in their arms, and could pursue them when they stood up.

After receiving the news, Li Yongsheng blood slave chased after him with 20,000 people, Xia Zhenren carefully distinguished, and found that there was no lurking enemy around, and asked the deputy general to take care of the camp, and also took a thousand cavalry, and chased after him.

More than ten miles away from the Dongying Gate, the pursuers were stopped by the troops behind the other party's palace.

It is said that the army of the queen of the palace should be elite, but the army of King Zheng, how to say it? The war is really too slippery, and the army of the 10,000 queen of the palace is not fighting to the death, but fighting and retreating, exchanging space for time.

The pursuers attacked fiercely, entangled the army behind the palace, and saw that they could not eat it for the time being, so they divided 10,000 men to pursue the large army.

The large army with its baggage did not go fast, and after chasing for seven or eight miles, more than 10,000 pursuers caught up with the main force of 30,000 people.

The real person led by King Zheng's army turned his head to take a look, and found that it was only twenty miles away from the camp, and he couldn't help but be furious, "I left Xishan County and a big camp, and you still have to chase after you, it's really too deceitful!"

At this moment, Xia Zhenren hurried up, and shouted when he heard the words, "Leave the food and let you go!"
