It was Shen Shi (three o'clock in the afternoon), and the sun had just passed the zenith. A thin layer of clouds appeared in the sky, as if a veil was covering the sky, and even the sunlight was no longer so dazzling.

Suddenly a gust of breeze blew, and flags all over the mountains and plains were fluttering. Countless Confederate troops formed several long lines, gathering like ants on the bank of the Mihe River.

Not long after, the entire city of Qianyin was emptied out, leaving only dead bodies on the ground.

Yuan Li was furious: "Why retreat?"

With this retreat, wouldn't his attempt to "forsake darkness and turn to the light" and "turn against the enemy before the battle" in order to achieve great success come to naught on the spot?

As for those who wanted to die, he offended Chang Yizhi to death. If Chang Yizhi had a grudge, he could kill him on the spot for any reason. He would not even have a chance to defect to Fu Luo and defect to Tuyuhun...

Why retreat?

Chang Yizhi looked at the generals in front of the horse, his eyes passed over the faces of Yuan Li, Yu Zhong, Fu Luo, Hou Gang, and all the Nanliang generals in turn, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Bring it up!"<

/p>

Following the promise, a close confidant carried a wooden box and placed it in front of everyone. It should have been explained before, but Chang Yizhi didn't give any instructions again, so a few close soldiers fiddled with the contents in an orderly manner.

Everyone saw him move out several iron cans, remove the corks, and then pour the water-like contents into the water jar.

In the blink of an eye, a layer of oily flowers appeared on the water surface, reflecting colorful light under the sunlight, which is really beautiful.

It looks like pomelo oil, but it doesn't have the unique smell of tung oil, and is rather pungent. It also doesn't look like fat from pigs and cows. That thing won't be so clear unless it's boiled, and it will definitely smell of strong oil.

Smoke...

The generals were suspicious, and saw Chang Yoshizhi's bodyguard step back a few steps, pick up a torch, and throw it into the water tank from a distance.

With a "wow" sound, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, and the shocked generals who were nearby hurriedly hid back.

As for those with long eyes, their eyes bulge wildly and make their hair stand on end: something that can catch fire in the water?

Unprecedented and unheard of...

Yuan Li, Yu Zhong, Fu Luo and others all had strange expressions on their faces: This should be Li Chengzhi's maggot-like fire oil, where did Chang Yi get it?

"Don't guess, this is what Li Chengzhi sent! It took only two hours for the Wei army to conquer Qingshui City, which had more than 10,000 defenders and was as solid as an iron barrel..."

Chang Yizhi let out a long sigh, "And now, Li Chengzhi wants to use this thing and the thunder to go around and capture Chencang to cut off my retreat... I want to ask you, if you put yourself in my shoes, if you were Chang, what would you do?

What should I do?"

Everyone knows that it must be more than that simple. It is impossible for Li Chengzhi to just send a few cans of kerosene and threaten him to force Chang Yi to retreat.

However, as a famous general, Chang Yi's reputation spread far and wide, so most of the people under his command were just suspicious, wondering if there was another sudden change somewhere, forcing the county magistrate to do this.

But there are also aggrieved people...

"Li Chengzhi said he wanted to take Chencang directly, but he really took Chencang directly? Do you think that the more than 10,000 elite soldiers from Yuanli and Chencang, and the 10,000 and 50,000 soldiers that you, the Governor of Chang, sent to the city yesterday, are dead animals?"

Yuan Li's face was ferocious, she checked her neck and shouted: "It's ridiculous that the Marquis of Changxian County, yesterday, he said that we are afraid of Li Chengzhi like a tiger, and our color changes when we hear Li Chengzhi... But now, the Governor of Changxian is also like me.

, were you scared out of your wits by that little Li boy?"

Unfortunately, Yu Zhong tried his best to stop Yuan Li in every possible way, including pulling and pulling, but he still couldn't stop Yuan Li.

After he finished his denunciation, all the Qiannan generals under Chang Yi's command turned purple and wished they could pounce on Yuan Li and cut her into pieces.

Chang Yizhi was unfazed, with a calm expression on his face. He waved his hand briefly, stopped the general who was about to scold Yuan Li, and then Shi Shiran said: "At this moment, at that moment... If His Royal Highness King Ji Yin himself

If you think you have the ambition to fight Li Chengzhi for life and death, then you will stay..."

As he said that, he turned back to guard and looked at Yu Zhong, Fu Luo and others, "As for whether you two will retreat or not, it's up to you. Even if you turn around and join Li Chengzhi, I will never stop you... Chang

Someone took the first step..."

Throw a bird feather?

Now that all the people under his command have been killed and injured, if he dares to surrender alone, Li Chengzhi will definitely dare to tie him up on the spot and take him to Luoyang to ask for merit.

In any case, it’s time to return to Chencang and recruit more than ten thousand elites to join us, so that we can have some support...

Yuan Li gritted her teeth and said nothing, but Yu Zhong had no choice but to clasp his fists and say: "We will retreat south together with the county magistrate..."

Fu Luo also responded repeatedly: "I am the Marquis of Weichang County and I am following my orders..."

Since the defeat of Bailitan, Fuluo had already had the intention of retreating. Later, he was encouraged by Yuanli, saying that Changyi had a hundred thousand soldiers, and they were all elite. They were not without the strength to fight, so he stayed.

.

Now that Chang Yi has retreated, will he stay and wait to be driven out and killed by Li Chengzhi?

"Then set up camp: retreat to the south bank first, wait until the upper reaches of the river dam is dug, so that the enemy cannot follow up and kill, then retreat to Chencang..."

Following Chang Yi's order, all the armies moved upon hearing the wind and surged towards the south bank like a tide.

It was just Yuan Li and Yu Zhong, with dozens of soldiers behind them, so they felt so lonely.

Yuan Li looked around and asked suspiciously: "Where is Hou Gang?"

Yu Zhong sighed sadly: "I just saw him leaving with Pei Sui. He should have withdrawn with Chang Yizhi's front army..."

Sui Changyi withdrew...that was an army of nearly ten thousand people?

Yuan Li laughed angrily: "Haha... What a ungrateful and despicable person?"

At this point, what else can be done?

Yu Zhong was already disheartened. Not to mention scolding, even his anger had faded away a lot. He just said in a cold voice: "This thief has always been like this. He has nothing to do except exploit every opportunity and flattery... There is no need to be angry."

, it won’t be too late to argue with him after we return to Chencang..."

What else can we do?

There are dozens of personal guards under his command, so it is useless to look for Gang at this time.

Good thief, just wait for grandpa, sooner or later you will regret it...

Yuan Li gritted her teeth and endured a breath of bad breath. She turned around and glanced in the direction of Mianyin City unwillingly: Li Chengzhi, Li Chengzhi, if you believe me, Yuan Li, follow me as soon as possible.

.Yuan will definitely give you a big gift...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Just because Yuan Li was unwilling to give up, and knowing that the situation was over, Yu Zhong was confused and confused for a while, but Yu Zhong couldn't understand it. He didn't even notice that Yuan Li's personal guards suddenly lost two...

Yang Jun stood at the top of the city, looking up at the empty surroundings, letting his robe ribbons fly up in the wind and slap his cheeks, as if he was stupid.

There was still thick smoke billowing under the city, and miserable screams could be heard from time to time. But to Yang Jun's ears, it was like beautiful music.

Chang Yizhi actually...retired his troops?

According to his and Li Shao's previous guesses, even if Chang Yi retreats, Li Chengzhi should come to help after nightfall. At this time, it is almost two hours before dark, and Li Chengzhi is probably still dozens of miles away.

……

As if a demon had blocked him, he became suspicious again: "Could it be that retreat is an advance, and Chang Yi wants to lure me out of the city?"

"How to seduce?"

Li Shao helplessly pointed to the distance, "If you don't look at the two sides of the Qianhe River, it is already covered with water. It is obvious that after the Confederate army retreated to the south bank, they dug up the upstream dam... This is obviously to prevent us from following behind and attacking his rear army.

..."

Really?

I really quit...

A few moments ago it was still in full swing, with loud killing sounds, but it was completely retreated in the blink of an eye?

Just because Li Chengzhi sent an envoy to see Chang Yi?

It’s so unreal to think about it...

Yang Jun scratched his head anxiously: "Brother Yuan Bo thinks, what did Chengzhi say to Chang Yizhi to make such a famous general avoid snakes and scorpions?"

"Mo Hu guessed it. When Chengzhi arrives, everything will be known... He immediately sent an order to the four cities, telling them not to open the city gates without authorization for the time being, and to transport soldiers and horses down to the city with ropes, hanging baskets, etc., and ordered the scouts to go along

Explore the river to see where the enemy troops have retreated... and send the infantry down to the city to return to Long's wounded soldiers to collect their swords and armor..."

His subordinates immediately agreed to the promise and hurriedly went to deliver the order. Soon, soldiers and horses were hung off the city wall.

Nearly a hundred scouts headed south, and there were nearly a thousand infantrymen under each of the four cities, quickly clearing the battlefield.

After another while, a dozen soldiers suddenly escorted two enemy soldiers to the gate of the south city: "The governor, Sima, captured the two spies. They claimed to be the confidants of King Yuanli of Jiyin, and they came with secret orders. They wanted to present them in person."

Marshal Yu..."

Yuan Li’s confidant wants to see Li Chengzhi?

Li Shao frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "Hang him up!"

……

The sun sets over the western mountains, and we talk secretly in the twilight. Countless rays of golden light splash on the ground, and the surface of the Lianshui River seems to be dyed with golden paint. The golden light shines and is so beautiful.

Most of the Qianyin City has been cleaned, and all the swords, bows, and armor have been transported to the city. Only more than ten thousand corpses remain. When the situation calms down, they will either dig pits and bury them, or burn them in one place.

An hour ago, he learned that Chang Yi had not only returned to the south bank, but had even returned to Qianyuan without stopping. Li Shao expressed his sincere admiration.

With tens of thousands of people, there are no boundaries, let alone an army of hundreds of thousands?

Even if they were to form a square formation in the wilderness, it would be more than ten miles wide. If there was an order, it would take at least a few moments to come and go. And after Chang Yi gave the order, he could command tens of thousands of troops.
To be continued...
