A fast horse galloped from the northwest.
The scout came to Zhu Yuanzhang and rolled off his horse, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Qiqi Zhu Gong, the big thing is not good, a team of about 30,000 people was found in the northwest Linfu direction, under the banner of Lu Zi, and the visual strength was about 30,000, and it was killed from the flank of our army. ” "A team of 30,000 people under the banner of Lu" Zhu Yuanzhang took the case, and suddenly felt that the situation was even worse than expected.
Zhu Sheng was also a little surprised: "Nine times out of ten, the Lu Ziqi is Lu Junyi under Xue Li, but it is from the direction of Linfu, which shows that the cavalry led by Xue Li is not the team of Wuguan, and it is likely to come from Jiangling." ” Li Guang, who was pulling out the arrow, grinned and said: "Ah, if Lu Bu finishes such words, wouldn't we be surrounded and die painfully, and I will not kill Xue Thief, and I will not be a man."
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to accept this reality, he also knew that the possibility of Lu Bu's annihilation was increasing.
Xue Li and Ran Min led the cavalry to guard the Dangyang Bridge, obviously waiting for reinforcements to arrive, if Lu Bu's army was still there, the Eastern Han Army would never be so relaxed and calm.
"Twenty miles back, immediately contact Xu Da and Zhu Wen" Zhu Yuanzhang turned over and got on his horse in a hurry and ordered.
With Zhu Yuanzhang's order, the 80,000 Western Han troops who had lost their sharpness and lost their sharpness were killed by Yang Zaixing's iron-blooded army, like frightened birds, followed Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Sheng, and Li Guang to turn around and retreat quickly to the north.
"Keep up" Xue Rengui drew a halberd and led more than 4,000 cavalry with Ran Min to march at the tail end, not hurrying or slowing, and kept a distance of three or five miles from the Western Han army from beginning to end, neither catching up nor letting the Western Han army go far.
Changbanpo is nearly 100 miles in radius, and after Zhu Yuanzhang led his troops to the north for seven or eight miles, the terrain gradually flattened out, and it became farther and farther away from Dangyang Bridge.
However, the cavalry led by Xue Rengui lingered, falling far behind.
This made Li Guang furious, and gritted his teeth and said: "Zhu Gong, Xue Li's grandson is really as annoying as a fly, let the last general lead a counter-charge and annihilate them in the center."
"You can give it a try" Zhu Yuanzhang promised that he couldn't let Xue Rengui be so rampant without getting any news from other aspects.
"The cavalry comes with me" Li Guang turned over and got on his horse and made a move with a spear.
You can't shoot a bow and arrow, but you can still do it with a gallop and a charge.
After receiving Li Guang's call, 15,000 cavalry crossed the crowd, rolled up the yellow sand in the sky, and launched a counter-charge against the Eastern Han cavalry who were reluctant to follow.
With less than 5,000 cavalry, it is so arrogant, it is really too bullying, do you think that our Luoyang Army has no war horses "Retreat" Seeing that the cavalry of the Western Han Dynasty was menacing, three times as much as himself, Xue Rengui did not dare to fight, and ordered a retreat with a halberd.
As long as this army can be dragged down, so that Lu Junyi, Yue Yun, and Huo Quji can form a joint encirclement, the strategic goal will be achieved.
The sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the front team of more than 4,000 Eastern Han cavalry changed to the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, and retreated in the direction of Dangyang Bridge again.
Li Guang relied on the strength of the crowd, led the army to shout loudly, and chased after him.
Xue Rengui and Ran Min personally retreated, turning around and bending their bows on their horses while retreating, and the arrows were bursting with arrows, and every time the bowstring sounded, an enemy soldier would fall off his horse.
Li Guang led the army to chase for four or five miles, and suddenly found that the smoke and dust were billowing in the direction of Dangyang Bridge, and the sound of people shouting horses and neighing went straight to the sky, and he was taken aback: "It's not good, the Eastern Han army came to help, it seems that Lu Bu is a scheming man who is more than lucky, and the brothers retreat quickly."
Seeing that the Eastern Han army was covering up, these Western Han cavalry, who had just been chasing with great vigor, were suddenly deflated.
Zhang Dingbian, Yang Dayan, Wei Wentong, Han Sui and other main generals all died in battle one after another, making these soldiers sad and sad, and a feeling of sadness suddenly arose in their hearts.
Just when Li Guang led the cavalry to drive Xue Rengui away, Zhu Yuanzhang's scouts finally returned from Jiangling, turned over and dismounted, and reported: "Zhu Gong, the big thing is not good, Jiangling City was breached, Lu Wenhou was killed in battle, and the whole army was annihilated."
The bad news was finally confirmed, Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes when he heard this, clenched his fists and gasped: "How can he not be able to hold it for two days after being killed by Lu Bu, how can he not hold it for two days, if Lu Bu can hold Jiangling, at this moment, we have broken through the Dangyang Bridge and killed the inside and outside of Jiangling City, it will be a different situation."
And now, we're in a desperate situation."
Zhu Sheng said: "Now that the matter is now, it is useless to complain, let's quickly break through to the north, so as not to be cut off by Lu Junyi and Yue Yun and fall into the encirclement." ” The sound of horses' hooves clattered, and another scout galloped over, dismounted and reported: "Qi Zhu Gong, Yue Yun led 30,000 people from the direction of Yicheng, and there are still about forty miles away from our army."
"Where is Xu Da's team now?"
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, the more he couldn't panic at this time.
There are still 80,000 horses under his command, and there are 30,000 people on Xu Da and Zhu Wen's side, with a total strength of about 110,000, and there is still the strength to fight.
As long as the decision is made properly, it is not to the point of desperation.
"General Xu Da's team has already passed Jingcheng and is quietly approaching Jiangling, about sixty or seventy miles away."
The scout replied with a cross-legged arm.
"Immediately order Xu Da to return to the division, attack Yue Yun from behind, and break through with the main army."
Zhu Yuanzhang spread out the map and ordered while watching patiently.
"No" scout took the order and left.
Zhu Sheng came up and looked at the map with Zhu Yuanzhang, and analyzed: "Lu Junyi came from the northwest Linfu direction, Yue Yun came from Yicheng in the northeast, and Xue Li came from Jiangling in the south, this is to encircle our army in the center."
"There is a way out of the stone pass in the east of Linfang, and you can also run to Shangyong and withdraw to Hanzhong if you go to Maicheng in the west."
Kuaitong, a strategist from Jingzhou, gave two retreat routes, "In addition to Linfu and Yicheng, if you want to return to Shangyong, there are only these two routes." ” Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and instructed the scouts: "Immediately spy on Jiashiguan and Maicheng to see if there are any Eastern Han ambushes" At this moment, the people in the south shouted that the horses were neighing, and Li Guang led the cavalry to retreat and went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang's horse to report: "The big thing is not good, the main force of the Eastern Han Army has been killed from Dangyang Bridge, and the visual inspection is at least about sixty or seventy thousand, what should I do?"
"Retreat in the direction of Benyi City, attack Yue Yun, and wait for Xu Da to lead his troops to come to help, and force a breakthrough.
Then go north to Xiangyang, kill Wancheng, and join Yang Su's army.
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the map and planned a route to retreat.
Zhu Sheng arched his hand and said: "Zhu Gong, please forgive me for saying that Liu Deyu's army is attacking Liu Bei in Xichuan, and the team led by Wei Wentong, Zhang Dingbian, and Han Sui is almost the entire force of defending Shangyong and Hanzhong.
If Zhu Gong led his team north to Wancheng, then the Han army could go straight to Hanzhong without bloodshed, control Yongliang to the west, covet Chang'an to the north, and shock Bashu to the south, and the situation would worsen. ” Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard, thought for a moment and nodded: "What Yunsheng said is also reasonable, if Hanzhong is not guaranteed, it will be lost all the plates, then retreat from Xiangyang to the west to Shangyong, but no matter which route you take, the top priority must be to break through the encirclement of the enemy army and avoid repeating the mistakes of Lu Bu."
The plan stopped, Zhu Yuanzhang personally led the front army, ordered Li Guang to serve as the deputy general, and led a team of 80,000 people with low morale with Zhu Sheng and Kuaitong to cover the past in the direction of Yicheng in the northwest, preparing to attack Yue Yun with Xu Da before and after, and rush to open a bloody road.

"Dingdong Li Guang was appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang as a deputy general, and the road idiot attribute took effect, reducing Zhu Yuanzhang's command rate by 3 points, down to 95.
Reduced Zhu Yuanzhang's intelligence by 3 to 92. ” Xue Rengui joined the main army led by Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Liao, with nearly 70,000 horses, followed Zhu Yuanzhang's footsteps to chase in the direction of Yicheng with great fanfare, and at the same time sent light cavalry to inform Lu Junyi, Huo Quji, Yue Yun and other people and horses to prepare to close the net.
Just when the scout reported the news of Lu Bu's death to Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da also obtained information.
Just as he was hesitating whether to retreat with his troops or continue to march towards Jiangling, Zhu Yuanzhang's scouts arrived quickly.
Ordered Xu Da and Zhu Wen to lead their troops to turn around and retreat to Yicheng, attack Yue Yun with the main army in front and back, and rescue the army to break through.
After listening to the scout's detailed information, Zhu Wen was shocked: "In the first battle of Changbanpo, Yang Dayan, Zhang Dingbian, Wei Wentong and others were all killed.
Only Li Guang and Zhu Sheng are left by my brother's side now, and they are in a heavy siege, life and death are tied to the front line, you and I will retreat to Yicheng and answer my brother to break through" Xu Da stroked his beard and frowned and thought: "Our army has already crossed the Yicheng road for one hundred and thirty miles, and even if it is a rapid march, it will take a day and a half to return."
And to the south is only about 60 miles away from Jiangling, in my opinion, it is better to go straight to Jiangling, kill the Eastern Han Dynasty by surprise, and use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, maybe it can achieve unexpected results. ” Listening to Xu Da's plan, Zhu Wen gave a thumbs up: "Gao is really high, Xu Tiande's trick is a stroke of genius, I heard that Liu Wei is in Jiangling, let's quietly kill under Jiangling City, give him a comeback, and break the city in one fell swoop."
If you can catch Liu Wei, naturally everything will be stopped, even if you can't catch him, you can use Jiangling to rest for a while, and then try to plan later."
"But Zhu Gong said that the two generals must arrive in Yicheng tomorrow evening, attack Yue Yun's back, and meet the army to break through."
Unexpectedly, Xu Da and Zhu Wen did not obey the general's order, and the scouts were a little anxious.
Xu Da's face was as pale as frost, and he picked up his gun and got on the horse: "The general will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, and now his eyebrows have been burned, and he will know how to act, you should quickly return to the lord, let him defend according to the danger, and wait for me to take Jiangling, and then take the main army from behind, don't mess with yourself." ” The scout had no choice but to urge the horse to raise the whip and report back to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Xu Da made a spear move, and led 30,000 elite soldiers with Zhu Wen to quietly touch Jiangling along the lush path.
The scout said that after the Eastern Han army exterminated Lu Bu, it poured out, and there were only five or six thousand men and horses left in the city to garrison, and it seemed that they were not aware of the whereabouts of their team at all, and attacked Jiangling with lightning speed, maybe they could turn the situation around and turn the tide. t1706231537:
