Seeing Nangong Xiong turn around, Lexi no longer hesitated. She picked up the spear in her hand and stabbed Nangong Xiong in the abdomen, slamming into the opponent's body, and the spear hit the target.

"Ah!" Nangong Xiong screamed after being severely injured in the abdomen. However, many years of combat experience allowed Nangong Xiong to react immediately. He gritted his teeth, held the spear in his left hand, and flew up with a kick.

It hit Lexi's chest, kicking her whole body and flying out. The spear that stabbed Nangong Xiong's abdomen and the spear that stabbed Lexi's abdomen were pulled out at the same time. Both of them couldn't help but lean back.

A mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth at the same time.

However, although they both suffered abdominal injuries, Lexi's injuries were definitely much heavier than Nangong Xiong's. After vomiting blood, Lexi fell directly to the ground, while Nangong Xiong on the other side was holding a spear and barely holding on.

He stood still.

"General Nangong is injured." At this time, Liu Jiajun, who was fighting with the vanguard of King Xin's Army, also discovered the result of the battle. In the minds of the Liu Jiajun soldiers, Nangong Xiong was the strongest of the Liu Jiajun besides Liu Tong.

A master. With him here, how can it be possible to defeat the battle?

But now seeing that Nangong Xiong was injured, and the injury seemed serious, all the Liu Jiajun soldiers were stunned. As several soldiers exclaimed, the morale of the Liu Jiajun suddenly plummeted. They were outnumbered.

[

"Bastard!" Nangong Xiong roared with his spear in his hand. It was originally a battle that must be won, but he didn't expect it to end like this. How could Nangong Xiong swallow this breath? Nangong Xiong immediately raised his gun.

He rushed out again, but was held back by the soldiers around him.

"General! You can save the green hills without worrying about firewood." A soldier tried hard to persuade Nangong Xiong. Now Nangong Xiong is injured. Although the enemy is not much better, he is afraid of any accident. If

If Nangong Xiong dies here, then the soldiers like them will not have a good end. The soldiers in this era are jointly and severally responsible. Once the general is killed, they and their families will be implicated. Therefore, the soldiers often risk their lives.

Protect your own commander.

"That's right! General, your army will arrive soon. When your army arrives, the general can still take revenge. General, withdraw first." Another soldier also advised, the reason why he proposed to withdraw the army is,

Because the soldiers and horses of King Xin's army are already fighting in a melee with Liu's army, if they retreat into the city at this time, they will not be able to escape the pursuit of King Xin's army, and they will only end up in a dead end.

Nangong Xiong was filled with unwillingness. Originally, Nangong Xiong was ordered to intercept this time, and he only had to defend Ji Qinshan. However, Nangong Xiong himself could not hold back, and went out of the city to fight. Now he has ended up in this situation. How can Nangong Xiong face the enemy?

Liu Tong explained.

But the words of the soldiers on the left and right are also good. Although Lexi's injury is definitely not serious and he should be incapable of fighting, there is Wang Hu next to him. Now he is injured just like Wang Hu. It can be said that he is only half a catty.

Coupled with Wu Liang's cold arrow beside him, Nangong Xiong had to admit that he lost this battle.

"Damn it! Retreat!" Nangong Xiong hesitated for a moment, and finally cursed. Under the protection of the soldiers on the left and right, he mounted his horse and broke out. When the Liu family troops saw Nangong Xiong starting to retreat, they naturally became more motivated and fled in all directions.

While Wu Liang was commanding the vanguard army to control the battle situation, he breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the escaped Nangong Xiong's soldiers and horses. Although it was a pity to let Nangong Xiong escape like this, the current vanguard army was also half-weighted. That kind of thing just now

In an emergency, the soldiers of the Pioneer Army fought with all their lives to find a way to survive. And they were about to prepare for the coming Liu Tong's army. Wu Liang raised his hand and faced the soldiers of the Pioneer Army on the left and right.

Shouted: "Retract the troops! Clean the battlefield and control Ji Qinshan."

After giving instructions, Wu Liang quickly rode up to Wang Hu and Lexi, and asked with concern: "General Wang Hu! General Le! How are you? Are you okay?"

Wang Hu was half-kneeling on the ground at this moment, holding Lexi in his arms, while Lexi was lying on the ground with her eyes half open and half closed, her mouth slightly open, and her face pale. Wang Hu saw

Wu Liang came, raised his head, and glanced at Wu Liang with a sad face, but he happened to see Wu Liang's right hand was a bloody mess. Only then did Wang Hu understand that in order to save Lexi just now, Wu Liang fired five arrows in a row, and the injury on his hand was

, it must have been broken by the bow string at that time. Before Nangong Xiong escaped just now, Wu Liang had been holding a long bow, but it turned out that he was bluffing Nangong Xiong. Considering the condition of Wu Liang's right hand, I'm afraid he would never be able to do it again.

An arrow was shot.

Seeing that Wang Hu seemed to have discovered the injury on his hand, Wu Liang quickly put his right hand behind his back, smiled at Wang Hu, indicating that his hand was fine, and then squatted down next to Lexi and asked:

"General Le, he..." Halfway through, he couldn't say the words. Wu Liang could also clearly see the extent of Le Xi's injuries. Not to mention anything else, the shot that penetrated the abdomen was already fatal.

. Lexi's ability to support herself until now probably depends entirely on her own tenacious willpower.

"Hey!" As if she noticed that there was an extra person beside her, Lexi opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Wu Liang, and then at Wang Hu, but she smiled, and her face turned rosy.

Lexi smiled and said, "Don't be like this. I was originally a martial artist. If I hadn't been promoted by Wang Qiansui, I was afraid that my whole life would be wasted between ordinary soldiers and bandits. Now that I can be famous all over the world, in this life

That's enough. If a man dies in battle, he will be happy and regretful in his heart."

Although Lexi's face looked much better, in the eyes of Wang Hu and Wu Liang, it became more and more uncomfortable. This was obviously a comeback. Sure enough, after saying these words, Lexi's face changed.

His color suddenly became abnormally pale, and his breathing became rapid. He raised his hand as if to grab something, but finally dropped it hard, tilted his head, and died again.

"Lexi..." Wang Hu muttered silently, but immediately picked up Lexi's body, turned around and walked towards Ji Qin Mountain. Wu Liang also looked at Wang Hu's back with a sad face.

His heart was extremely heavy. He thought that this Eastern Expedition would be smooth sailing, but he never expected that it would be like this. Wu Liang could not estimate what the situation of the vanguard army would be.

However, Wu Liang was worthy of being a first-class strategist. He took a deep breath and suppressed these negative emotions. He turned to the soldiers behind him and shouted: "Quickly take over the city defense. Send one more person with my token.

Ride a fast horse and go north to notify the garrison stationed in Yongxin City and ask them to come to the rescue quickly."

Going north from Jiqin Mountain, the closest place is Yongxin City of Liu Jiajun. King Xin's army has also set up a lot of troops here, and all the hopes of the vanguard army are pinned on King Xin's army in Yongxin City.

The original plan was to direct the Pioneer Army

We then headed north from Ji Qin Mountain back to Yongxin City, but we couldn't do this under any circumstances now. Liu Tong's pursuers were too fast, and there were also cavalry. Instead of being overtaken by Liu Tong halfway, it would be better to occupy the city.

Keep it up, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Everything was carried out urgently under Wu Liang's arrangement. After the battle just now, there were only more than 800 people left in the vanguard army, but it was still barely enough to garrison the small Ji Qin Mountain. More than one

Hours passed, and Wu Liang had just set up a defense line, but he heard the sound of horns ringing from outside the city, and saw a group of cavalry rushing towards here from the north of Ji Qin Mountain. It was the pursuit led by Liu Tong.

The soldiers arrived.

Liu Tong looked at the somewhat broken flag of King Xin's army on the top of Ji Qin Mountain's city from a distance, feeling excited and depressed at the same time. This time Zhao Guang made a plan for Liu Tong to completely wipe out the vanguard of King Xin's army in Luzhou.

Unexpectedly, contrary to expectations, the other party actually escaped here.

Moreover, the Nangong Xiong ambush arranged by Zhao Guang also failed, and instead allowed the opponent to occupy Jiqin Mountain. In order to catch up with King Xin's army as soon as possible, Liu Tong only brought thousands of light cavalry, without any attack at all.

City equipment, just with these thousands of light cavalry, Liu Jiajun doesn't know how to

With the riding and shooting skills of the northern nomads' light cavalry, it was impossible to capture the city. However, Liu Tong finally caught up this time. At least he stopped King Xin's army and prevented them from continuing to flee north. They had to wait until they were behind.

The army caught up and captured the small Jiqin Mountain with ease.

Liu Tong could understand the truth, so how could Wu Liang on the top of the city not understand it. Wu Liang stood on the top of the city, staring at the Liu Jiajun outside the city, and at the front of the Liu Jiajun, the man in red armor.

Liu Tong. In fact, Wu Liang was really hoping that Liu Tong would start attacking the city now, but seeing Liu Tong

Tong's posture was clear and they were just standing outside the city. Looking back on their plan outside Wanan City that day, wouldn't it be exactly the same as the current situation? It's just that the positions of both sides are reversed. I don't know.

When the time comes, will Wu Liang's side be able to come back to life in the same way?[

"Master Wu, Liu Tong is here?" A cold voice came from behind Wu Liang. Wu Liang looked back and saw that Wang Hu had come to the top of the city. Wu Liang had not seen him since he just entered the city.

When Wang Hu's shadow saw Wang Hu, he found that there were many stains and white mud on his body, as if he had rolled in a hole.

Wu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately answered: "Yes. Liu Tong is here. But judging from his appearance, it seems that he does not intend to attack the city immediately. He probably wants to wait for his army."

"Yes." Wang Hu walked directly to Wu Liang and looked outside the city. When Wang Hu's eyes moved to Liu Tong, Wu Liang clearly felt a cold light flashing in Wang Hu's eyes. But Wang Hu

He nodded and said in a deep voice: "It seems that it is absolutely impossible for us to break through."

Wu Liang nodded, pointed to Liu Tong's troops and horses outside the city, and said: "Liu Tong's troops far exceed our army, and they are all cavalry. If we go out to fight outside the city, our army will be defeated. Now we can only

Relying on the city wall as a cover, Liu Tong must not be willing to sacrifice too much, so he will definitely wait for their reinforcements to arrive before taking down Ji Qinshan in one go. However, I have sent people to Yongxin City before to ask for help from there.

Reinforcements are coming."

"In this case, we have to bet on whose reinforcements will come faster between us?" Wang Hu pointed out the most critical issue straightforwardly. If the reinforcements from Yongxin City arrive first, then Liu Tong will naturally be the one to fight again.

To resist the reinforcements of King Xin's army, they could only watch the vanguard army escape back to Liu's army.

And if Liu Jiajun's reinforcements arrive first, then with the capabilities of the vanguard army, the opponent may be able to capture Ji Qinshan's city with just one charge.

Wu Liang nodded again, but said nothing this time, because judging from the distance, Yongxin City is still some distance from Jiqin Mountain, and Liu Jiajun's reinforcements are already on the way, but they are slower than Liu Tong's cavalry.

Just a few.

If there is a competition in terms of speed, the Liu Jiajun's reinforcements must arrive first. Wang Hu and Wu Liang both know this, but they cannot say it out loud. Otherwise, the morale of the vanguard army on the city wall will be dissipated immediately.

If it falls, Ji Qinshan will break it by himself without having to wait for reinforcements from Liu's army to arrive.

But Wang Hu remained calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. He glared at Liu Tong outside the city again, snorted coldly, turned around, and said to Wu Liang: "I'm in the city.

Recuperate and leave all other matters to you." After saying that, Wang Hu strode directly towards the city.

Hearing Wang Hu's words, Wu Liang was stunned at first, but soon understood what Wang Hu meant. In the current battle situation, Wang Hu's command has no effect. Instead of working hard here, it is better to recuperate in the city.

If the city is destroyed, Wang Hu is determined to have a life-or-death showdown with Liu Tong.

Facts have proved that Wu Liang's judgment was not wrong at all. By the next day, Liu Jiajun's reinforcements had arrived outside Jiqinshan City. The generals leading the team were Liu Jiajun generals Wang Kuang, Wang Yuanhua and Zhu Hao, and as Liu Tong

think tank

, but Zhao Guang did not follow. After the army was lined up and ready, Wang Kuang, Wang Yuanhua and Zhu Hao rushed directly to Liu Tong, dismounted from their horses, knelt down to Liu Tong, and shouted in unison: "Greetings, general."

grown ups."

Liu Tong laughed, stepped forward to help the three of them up, and said: "Generals, you have arrived at the right time. We can start taking Ji Qinshan right now." As he said that, Liu Tong pointed to the Jiqinshan County in front of him.

With Liu Tong's temper, it was remarkable that he could endure it for a whole day.

Zhu Hao nodded and said to Liu Tong: "Don't worry, sir. General Mo will bring 10,000 troops this time, which is enough to capture Ji Qinshan. You don't need to go out personally, so General Mo will capture this group for you."

." After saying that, he cupped his fists and saluted Liu Tong. Then, he turned around and mounted his horse. With a wave of his spear, he led a group of men and horses directly towards Ji Qinshan to kill him.

Seeing Zhu Hao's actions, Liu Tong, Wang Kuang, and Wang Yuanhua all laughed. Liu Tong pointed at Zhu Hao's back with a smile and said: "This Zhu Hao is still the same, with a quick temper. But it's okay.

There are only one Wang Hu who only has half a life left in the city and one Wu Liang who only knows how to shoot cold arrows. I really can’t bring myself to interact with these two people right now.
