Chapter 696： Surprising! ! !

The Liaodong iron cavalry descended from Shandong to Xuzhou and looked at the south of the Yangtze River.

As soldiers approached Xuzhou, Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu pitched down the camp, and then sent scouts to the south to pay close attention to the movements of Jiangnan.

This time the Jiangnan crisis, Huainan Road and Lingnan Road attacked Jiangnan at the same time. Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu both thought this was an excellent opportunity. Seizing this opportunity would be too important for the Liaodong Army. If the Liaodong Army takes Shandong, If he can continue to go south to swallow Jiangnan into his belly, and then attack Huainan with a fight, half of the east will fall into the hands of the Liaodong Army, and the pattern of dominating the world is initially established.

Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei and the generals of the Liaodong Army were discussing matters in the account. Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zheng, this boy, I am afraid that he will have enough to drink a pot this time. Huainan Sun Chongwen and Lingnan Bai respect them. Both of them have accumulated. A person who has spent half a lifetime in his family.

The two of them attacked Jiangnan from the north and the south, and the creatures in the south are probably going to be smothered! Even if Lu Zheng has three heads and six arms, he might have to travel to the capital in the end. Will he go to Song Laosan again? "Long Lingxiu said, her face was full of smiles, she seemed to be happy from the heart.

Tan Lei said, "It's hard to say that what I am thinking about is that the Nanfu Army has 50,000 horses in Yuzhou. How do these 50,000 horses go back? Is it possible that they are planning to take the advantage of Shandong and attack Huainan, or go from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River through the canal?"

Long Lingxiu laughed and said, "I borrowed from Shandong, is General Tan willing to borrow? I'm afraid Lu Zheng has to say hello to you and me first!"

Long Lingxiu and Tan Lei laughed together. They both felt extremely relaxed. Jiangnan was in trouble. They marched into Xuzhou. From a distance, as long as Jiangnan changes, Liaodong Iron Cavalry can kill within a day. When they enter Jiangnan, even if they want to take millet from the fire, they can advance and retreat calmly.

The two bosses were in a good mood, and the generals under their hands were also very relaxed. Although the Liaodong Army from the southeast of the mountain had only more than 20,000 men, there were 10,000 fine horses out of more than 20,000 men. Such cavalry was in the Jiangnan Plain. The upper foot can be ten.

Therefore, whether it is Long Lingxiu or Tan Lei, they have absolute confidence that as long as Jiangnan changes, they will definitely be able to reap huge benefits.

"The only thing I worry about now is that Jiangnan collapses too quickly. If the Sun family and the Bai family take down Jinling too easily, then they will divide the Jiang Pumpkin back, and there will be nothing for us!" Long Lingxiu said quietly. .

As soon as Long Lingxiu's words came to an end, an emergency report came from outside, and several scouts rushed into the camp, and the camp was busy.

The scout was invited to the tent, and one scout knelt on the ground and said: "Report to the general, to the princess, that there is an urgent change in the situation in Jiangnan. Sun Chongwen led a hundred thousand troops to invade Chenzhou, and the Nanfu Army Lu Zheng personally led the army to respond to the enemy. , Outside the city of Chenzhou, Sun Chongwenjun was defeated. Sun Chongwenjun has retreated to the Sky Cliff and camped. The 100,000 army lost more than half!

"How is it possible?" Tan Lei was shocked. He opened his eyes and said, "This...this is nonsense, how can this be possible? Is it possible that Lu Zheng has three heads and six arms? It depends on the tens of thousands of horses in his Southern Army Army. Can you defeat Sun Chongwen in Chenzhou?"

Long Lingxiu was also stunned. She stood up subconsciously and said, "How many casualties are Lu Zheng's Nanfu Army?"

The scout said: "According to our intelligence, Lu Zheng has drowned the water of the Huai River, submerged Sun Chongwen twice, and cut the Huainan Army into several sections, and then swept it with cavalry. The situation at that time was really corpses all over the place, howling all over the field. , All kinds of miserable conditions can not bear to look straight! Sun Chongwen defeated, and the loss of the Nanfu Army was polar. If calculated according to the number of men and horses, the number of the Nanfu Army would not decrease but increase. I am afraid that the prisoners of the Huainan Army will have as many as thousands! "

Long Lingxiu was startled and speechless, she laughed for a while, and said, "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng! You are still such a ghost as a kid. Okay, this palace has never convinced people, so you just take your surname Lu!

Beautiful! Sun Chongwen's 100,000 army went south, thinking that he was going to capture Jinling. It was defeated before Chenzhou was reached. What a shame and shame, such a straw bag would dare to be king, and dare to covet the world? "

Long Lingxiu paused and continued: "The situation now is really getting more and more interesting. I was worried that Jiangnan could not stand a blow just now. Now that's all, Lu Zheng has this battle. Next, we can prepare to pick peaches with peace of mind. Up!"

Long Lingxiu laughed and laughed extremely proudly. Tan Lei said, "If Lu Zheng is so smooth, will he consider our existence? If the Bai family is also so vulnerable, should we still cross the Yellow River?"

Long Lingxiu said: "Lu Zhengni Bodhisattva crosses the river and cannot protect himself. Will he still stare at us in Shandong all the time? Don't worry, we will wait in Xuzhou and sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight!"

Long Lingxiu made a decisive decision and made the decision. The other soldiers in the tent were extremely relaxed. However, when everyone was discussing in the tent, a melodious horn suddenly came from a distance.

The horn sounded and the horse's hoof was ill. Tan Lei's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Quickly, go back to the tent, and immediately climb the tower to see who is here!"

After all, Tan Lei is a veteran of Liaodong, a first-class figure. He knew the crisis was coming in an instant, so he quickly boarded the tower.

Looking forward from the top of the tower, there was dust in the sky in the distance, and then I saw the cavalry in the distance rushing in like a windstorm.

The cavalry came, and the flags were flying. The flag was the flag of the Dakang Army. The word "Liu" was written on the flag. Tan Lei blurted out: "It's Liu Song, the lord of the Nanfu Army! This is Lu Zheng's military horse, it is the Yuzhou Army. !"

Liu Song led the army and Ma suddenly came to the city of Xuzhou. It was really shocking. Tan Lei and Long Lingxiu looked at each other and couldn't believe their eyes.

how can that be? Under such circumstances, in this situation, Lu Zheng actually let Liu Song attack the Liaodong Army? Is this what Lu Zheng meant or did Liu Song make his own claim?

At this moment, they have no way to verify this matter. The enemy is currently and the two sides have encountered each other, and they can only accept this battle. But this place in Xuzhou is just a small city, and the city defenses are very unbearable. More importantly, Tan Lei did not expect to fight in Xuzhou at all, so he did not have adequate defensive equipment.

And the most important point is that since Tan Lei, the generals in the army are not mentally prepared to fight. For a while, everyone is rushed into battle. The enemy is a deliberate surprise attack. The Liaodong Army hurriedly drove the ducks to the shelves. . The result of this collision between the two parties can be imagined...

Liu Song possessed nearly 60,000 horses. The cavalry in front of him killed him. After the soldiers approached the city, they shot arrows continuously on the wall. Then the infantry behind pushed the ladder siege cart and catapult. From the very beginning of this battle, the Nanfu Army played a tiger-like momentum, and thus gained the absolute upper hand as soon as the battle started.

During the crisis, Tan Lei personally stood on the city wall to guard. The Liaodong army did not retreat and fought desperately. They fought for a few hours until the sky darkened and the two sides suffered casualties. Liu Songmingjin retreated and retreated.

The Liaodong army gathered in the tent overnight. This time, everyone in the army was not as relaxed and comfortable as before. Long Lingxiu's face was very ugly. She said, "Is Lu Zheng crazy? He must be crazy. At this time, our Liaodong Army is slammed, he...he...he is really unreasonable!"

The dandy who has not said anything is fair: "His Royal Highness, this is the end of the matter. We have to calmly think about it. Lu Zheng’s Jiangnan is in trouble, and Liu Song wants to return for help. In this case, I borrowed from Shandong to take Huainan. Surrounding Wei and saving Zhao is the most effective strategy.

He knew that His Royal Highness refused to borrow the way, and his tone begged His Royal Highness. He might as well speak directly with the soldiers. We were too hasty in this battle. It's really bad! "

Tan Lei slapped the table fiercely, and said, "I blame me for being careless! Dealing with a cunning person like Lu Zheng requires a huge price for any carelessness! Today's price is a bit too big! For the current plan, we Only when we retreat from the North Gate overnight, and after a military break, we retreat two hundred miles away overnight and return to the territory of Shandong, so that security can be secured!"

"Retreat?" Long Lingxiu raised her brows and said, "As soon as he retreats, Liu Song's morale is more prosperous. He took the opportunity to press it up and can quickly go directly to Huainan on the Shandong official road. Our Liaodong Army might be ridiculed by the people of the world. !"

Long Lingxiu paused and said, "We have ten thousand fine riders, why not attack the enemy's account tonight, and take advance as a retreat. Let them fight with the Nanfu Army with real swords and guns, so that they will be frustrated. We will retreat calmly, and at the same time we will revise our books and deploy troops. The two sides will see the saw in the Xuzhou area and contain Liu Song in Xuzhou. I want to see how long Lu Zheng can hold on!"

Tan Lei sighed and said, "Your Royal Highness, your idea is really good, but since Lu Zheng let Liu Song attack us, he doesn't necessarily need Liu Song to save him!

I think in Lu Zheng’s eyes, I’m afraid that Sun Chongwen and Bai Jing are not in his eyes. He has been staring at our Liaodong Army. Hey, I should have thought of this long ago. I fell into a passive one step wrong. , It's really hard to turn the situation around again! "

Tan Lei stomped his feet fiercely. At this time, he was really in a dilemma. If he retreated, the morale of the Liaodong Army would be degraded, and no benefit would be gained. But if he wanted to fight, he found out that Liu Song of the Nanfu Army was really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

He now only has 20,000 horses in his hands, and his family has 50,000 or 60,000 horses. How can this fight? Tan Lei is a famous general in Eastern Liaoning, and he is extremely nervous at this time. It is really a dilemma!

In the end, Tan Lei could only accept Long Lingxiu's suggestion, attack the enemy camp at night, and then retreat.

"Fu Liang, you order five hundred elite soldiers to **** the princess back north!" Tan Lei issued his first military order. Fu Liang took the command, and then quickly organized five hundred elite soldiers to **** Long Lingxiu out of the city from the north gate. At the same time, Tan Lei Lei also gathered his confidantes and led his 10,000 elite soldiers to pounce on Liu Song.

In Liu Songjun, the lights were dim at night. Look at the camp. It is neat and tidy. Tan Lei asked his subordinates to wrap the horseshoes with grass and rush all the way. Then the queue was dispersed. The horn suddenly sounded, and the cavalry quickly charged towards the front camp. .

Tan Lei’s attack was very fierce, and the Liaodong Iron Cavalry’s bravery was vividly manifested. Tan Lei himself was the first to rush to the enemy’s camp. Tan Lei used a spear to open the camp, only to find that There were no ghosts in the camp, and there was no one.

His heart sank in an instant, it was really refreshing, and he quickly yelled: "No, the whole army is retreating. It's a hit!"

At this moment, only a few cannons were heard from the mountain in front, and then a round of feather arrows shot down in the sky, and Tan Leijun's cavalry were killed and injured.

Because it was night, the chaos in the army could no longer be regularized. The sound of the horn sounded, but it was a signal to march. Obviously, the enemy had mastered the tone of the horn in Tan Lei's army, and this made the cavalry more vulnerable to advance and retreat. Tan Lei was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

At this moment, he could only use the torches of the cavalry as a banner, and then reluctantly took part of the cavalry out. Until the sky gradually brightened, he was about to lead troops to Xuzhou, and saw that the head of Xuzhou had been planted with the word "willow".

Besides, Long Lingxiu was escorted north by five hundred elite soldiers. He was very cautious along the way. He only walked on the official road. There was nothing to do at night. After walking about fifty or sixty miles, the sky gradually brightened.

The sky was heavy, a team of men and horses continued to move forward, and before they had gone ten miles away, a team of cavalry rushed on the hillside in front of the sidewalk. The cavalry came quickly and directly surrounded the five hundred men and horses. The leader was a bearded man. General, I saw him laughing and saying:

"You wait for the Liaodong Army to listen. We are the Dakang Nanfu Army. We are waiting for you here today, just to ask Her Royal Highness to come with us!"

Liaodong Army General Fu Liang's face changed drastically. In order to fight back, Long Lingxiu stepped down from the chariot and drank him and said, "General Fu, since they have been in ambush, I am afraid that General Tan is also in crisis at this time! Liu Songqi People have never heard of his name before, but the use of soldiers is indeed not to be underestimated!

After this battle was defeated, Long Lingxiu was willing to go with the Nanfu Army to meet their General Liu for a while, and you quickly retreated. It was important to try to save General Tan! "

After Long Lingxiu finished speaking, he said to the enemy general: "I am Long Lingxiu, and I am willing to follow you!"

Long Lingxiu abandoned the chariot, found a horse to sit on, and actually followed the cavalry of the Nanfu Army to the south. It was only when she arrived in Xuzhou that she knew that the city had changed its owner. Needless to say, Tan Lei fell into the enemy's trap in the last night's battle.

Long Lingxiu couldn't help sighing, and muttered: "General Tan's defeat lies in the obsession of this palace! If it weren't for this palace's insistence on attacking at night, why is there such a defeat?"

At this moment, Long Lingxiu’s intestines were almost ashamed and uncomfortable. She descended from the southeast of the mountain, thinking of going to the south of the Yangtze River to make a profit, and took advantage of the fire to rob her. She was still in Xuzhou, and was calculated by Lu Zheng. Failure is really unforgivable! ! !
