"Lord, we have been traveling day and night in the past few days, and the soldiers lacked enough rest. It is getting late now, so it is better to camp here."

After learning that Li Ji was retreating with his soldiers and horses, Li Biheng and Li Cunxin took away most of the soldiers and horses in Yongning County and pursued them non-stop, trying to delay Li Ji before he could return to Shanyin.

"Where is this?"

Li Biheng looked at the surrounding mountains and deep forests and asked questions.

"This is Kuocang Mountain. As long as we pass through Kuocang Mountain, we can reach the nearest Zhang'an County."

There is a teleportation array in this world, and you can quickly transfer troops to the battlefield through the teleportation array at the cost of silver.

However, the teleportation array will automatically fail when the city is attacked, preventing a large number of troops from arriving to help defend the city during war.

Li Ji held the position of the governor of Kuaiji County and could use the teleportation array in any county in the county at will. Therefore, before he attacked the Yongning rebels, he came to Zhang'an County through the teleportation array in Shanyin County, and then marched to attack Yongning.

Zhang'an County was established along the Lingjiang River, Yongning County was established along the Yongning River, and Kuocang Mountain is the watershed between the Lingjiang River system and the Yongning River system.

If you want to quickly reach Zhang'an County from Yongning, the shortest journey is through Kuocang Mountain.

Therefore, Li Cunxin boldly guessed Li Ji's marching route, thinking that the opponent would definitely choose Kuocang Mountain.

Li Ji withdrew his troops in batches, and several days had passed by the time Li Biheng reacted. In order to catch up with the progress, Li Biheng marched day and night, trying to catch up with Li Ji at all costs.

He and Li Cunxin led the cavalry as the vanguard, and the infantry behind them were led by their henchmen.

Not long ago, the cavalry scouts sent out sent back news that they saw Li Ji's army camping and resting.

That's why Li Cunxin suggested that Li Biheng take a night's rest and launch an attack on Li Ji tomorrow.

It was getting late, and the Yongning rebels rested on the spot and ate their food rations under the instructions of the general.

Marching at night is very dangerous, especially when marching in mountains and forests. A little carelessness can cause the loss of soldiers.

Li Cunxin didn't dare, and he believed Li Ji didn't dare either.

The cold moonlight was shining, the cold wind howled from time to time, and a large number of braziers made crackling sounds and swayed with the wind.

This simple camp was silent and very quiet.

Li Cunxin stood outside the simple camp tent, protected by the soldiers behind him.

"General, it's late at night, and there will be a big battle tomorrow. I hope you can rest as soon as possible."

After a long time after dinner, the soldiers saw that Li Cunxin still wanted to inspect the camp, so he persuaded him in a low voice.

Li Cunxin waved his hand, and a trace of worry suddenly appeared on his face. He always felt as if he had overlooked something, and felt uneasy in his heart.

As a general, you need to observe the changes in the situation from clues. Although he is not a famous general like Han Xin and Bai Qi, after dealing with Li Ji, he always feels that the other party will not withdraw his troops easily.

At least they won't withdraw their troops due to lack of food.

He thought about it, but still couldn't think of a reason, so he could only suppress his uneasiness deep in his heart.

"You must be careful tomorrow!"

Nothing happened overnight, the sun's rays pierced the darkness, the snow on the ground still faded, and everything around began to show life.

It was early morning, and the sleepy soldiers twisted their hard bodies and began to nibble on the hard rations.

Human voices began to appear in the simple military camp.

Whoosh!

At this time, there were sounds from the surrounding mountains and forests, and countless arrows shot out of the air, forming a dense rain of arrows covering the Yongning rebels.

The vast majority of the soldiers looked around blankly, and the next moment sharp arrows pierced their bodies and took away their lives.

Enemy attack?!

Thoughts popped up in everyone's mind, and they were answered by batches of arrows raining down from high places, killing them crazily.

The veterans who followed Li Biheng in the battle reacted and immediately turned pale. The warning bell finally rang, and the whole camp exploded in an instant.

Hearing that the Yongning rebels were gathering in chaos, countless corps commanders and centurions tried their best to gather them and form formations to meet the enemy.

At some point, Li Ji's archers came around to the cliff next to them and fired arrows at them unscrupulously.

In the distance, the sound of footsteps fell frequently like raindrops, and a strong figure appeared on the narrow mountain road.

"Li Ji, the governor of Kuaiji, is here, why don't you surrender quickly?"

Li Ji danced the Overlord Spear, and the sound of horse hooves behind him was like an unstoppable torrent of steel, which made people feel chilled.

…

The Yongning River was not affected by the heavy snow. The river rolled eastward and flowed into the sea. The water waves rolled and roared like thunder.

It was still dark at this moment, and the soldiers stationed on the city wall squinted their eyes and did not see any black spots of different sizes appearing on the Yongning River in the distance.

The Li flag fluttered in the wind, and a large number of ships sailed on the river. After systematic expansion, the surface of the Yongning River was large enough to accommodate dozens of warships moving together.

In order to capture Yongning County, they did not hesitate to pull out the navy and all the ships that had been cultivated for a long time.

Li Ji used the strategy of reducing the number of soldiers to withdraw his troops in advance and lured Li Biheng to take a large number of soldiers out of the city to pursue him. He then set up a water fortress near the Yongning River in Lijiang, used ships to transport soldiers, and sailed down the river to surprise Yongning.

Li Biheng did not have much time to newly occupy Yongning County, so he naturally did not have the ability to develop a navy.

The Longque navy encountered no obstacles along the way and quickly approached Yongning.

"General Li Cunxiao, this battle depends on you."

In order to quickly capture Yongning, Li Ji sent out Li Cunxiao, Chen Dao, Huang Zhong, and Zhou Cang, and asked Jia Xu to act as a counselor.

This lineup is more than enough to take down Yongning, which is not heavily guarded by troops.

"I promised my lord that I would win Yongning for him. There will be no retreat in this battle!"

The boat rushed onto the river bank. Li Cunxiao, holding the Yuwang Bi Yan'ao, strode across the river bank in one fell swoop.

Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and Zhou Cang followed closely behind and led the soldiers towards Yongning.

Although Chen Zhizhou and Zhou Cang were seriously injured before, Li Ji had the medicine king Sun Simiao. After his careful treatment, his injuries had long been cured.

Thousands of soldiers galloped across the ground with such great momentum that they alarmed the soldiers on the city wall.

"enemy!……"

A soldier put his hands on the wall and was about to scream when an arrow dragging with flowing flames roared towards him and hit him directly on the head.

The terrifying power on the arrow exploded instantly, and a bomb exploded across his body, sending a large amount of flesh, blood, and bones flying everywhere.

The soldiers of Yongning were like a little bird, alerted by the sudden army, wandering around the city wall screaming.

Groups of archers finally came to the city wall, and by this time Li Cunxiao had already reached the foot of Yongning County.

Batteries of arrows roared in, arced in mid-air, and headed towards Li Cunxiao.
Chapter completed!
