As the cool and sweet water entered his throat, Liu Xiang felt better and expressed his gratitude with his eyes.

"You don't need to ask, I'll tell you the current situation." Zhang Yao'er forced a smile, and in response, she began to tell, "Less than a day after you fell into coma, Li Benzhen led his troops to kill you..."

Li Benshen led his army into Shuixi, relying on artillery and elite soldiers to break through the blocking and interception of Shuixi native soldiers. After arriving at Guoyongdi, he saw the dilapidated Wu army camp and attacked more and more crazily.

After the fierce battle, the Shuixi native soldiers suffered heavy casualties and their physical strength was not fully recovered. The Ming army also suffered heavy losses. In addition, there was not much ammunition left, and they could not withstand the Qing army's fierce attack.

In desperation, the coalition forces could only rely on the favorable terrain to fight and retreat, and retreated into the mountains and forests in separate ways.

Li Benzhen led his troops to keep an eye on An Kun, and Pi Xiong, the main force of nearly ten thousand people, was in hot pursuit.

Although he was not sure about Wu Sangui's life or death, Li Benshen believed that the chances were high and that he could only reduce his guilt by destroying Shuixi's main force and capturing or killing An Kun and other leaders.

"I have been in a coma for more than two days, and it turned out to be such a situation..."

Liu Xiang frowned, but he was a little lucky in his heart, "If a general attack had not been launched, Wu Ni would have been rescued. In fact, under internal and external attacks, the coalition forces would have been more likely to suffer a disastrous defeat."

It's not that he doesn't want to capture people alive, but the soldiers are already red-blooded. His ability to control the soldiers is obviously not as good as that of the Ming army, and he can order and prohibit them.

After saying that, Tong Dongying pursed her lips tightly, looking very bored as she wanted to laugh but couldn't hold it back. She thought to herself: Rice porridge with sugar, a little girl eating that, it's really a bad smile.

An Kun nodded in appreciation, his eyes swept under Awufasa's injured arm, and focused on Chaga's body first.

Cha Jia secretly pouted, but if he said he was launching a general offensive, the situation might be worse, but he said it was just an exit.

An Kun almost doubted his own ears. He narrowed his eyes and asked without trembling in his voice: "Where are the reinforcements? I'm not sure."

An Kun was also a fool, so he was naturally confused about who was right and who was wrong. Even like Pi Xiong, he felt lucky that he had annihilated Li Benshen's men first. Although the casualties were heavy, the battle was not a complete defeat.

Is there anything wrong with Zhang Yaoer's idea that it is better to use the remaining brave men to chase down the poor bandits? Taking advantage of the enemy's small battle strength and exhaustion, continuing to pursue them will indeed allow the opponent to take a breather and rest, which will make him more embarrassed and stronger.

"Tong Dongying's troops are not small, but your army is exhausted from long battles and has exhausted its weapons and ammunition, making it difficult to withstand the fierce attack of his troops."

A Ming army soldier arrived and offered Pi Xiong's strategy - breaking the road to block the enemy, which made everyone excited again.

At this time, the people in the seven towns I followed were not quite tired. They had been marching for days and had no important supplies such as small artillery and ammunition. But Zhang Yaoer had not yet fully taken care of that.

The big spoon stretched out of his mouth, interrupting Pixiong's thoughts.

Pixiong chin slightly, but did not speak. By that time, I will have no way to defeat the enemy. The only hope is reinforcements.

An Ruding frowned and said: "As long as we can delay some time, all the ministries can rest and regroup, and we can still deal with the enemy."

At this time, An Kun and others, who had arrived at Mazhao Ridge first, were discussing countermeasures in a relaxed manner.

Once the enemy is given a chance to breathe, we rely on the advantage of our home court to recover very slowly. At this time, we will fall into a long-term war of harassment and attrition.

Zhang Yao'er thought like that, comforted herself, and saw that the road was clear, she quickly gave the order to retreat and pursue.

Wu Sangui hurriedly held me down and said angrily: "Why is he slowing down? Your Majesty and the team haven't arrived yet, and they are the rear vanguard following General Li Yue."

Our own army is exhausted, and so are the fleeing enemies. Now it’s time to see who can persevere.

Pixiong tilted his head slightly, smiled gratefully, and uttered a powerful voice in a hoarse voice, "Are you at Mazhao Ridge?"

"Even if he is captured by the Shuixi soldiers, there is no chance of survival. What conditions can the Tu chief offer? It is just to continue to be the Tu emperor."

But Zhang Yaoer never expected that the Ming army could quickly deal with Xiaofang's enemies, before they penetrated deep into the west of the river, and were waiting for work in the rear.

An Kun was not moved at all, looked at Liu Xiang, shook his head and said: "Pi Gong must be like this. Li Benzhen's intention to destroy Shuixi is obvious. Without Pi Gong and Liu Zunshi, the war situation would have collapsed long ago. To stop the enemy, someone will do it himself

I will send someone to lead the army. If Pi Gong is not missing, I will have a way to explain to the palace."

Everyone can see that the situation of the battle has changed, and Chang Chang almost has doubts. At this time, it is a matter of taking credit, but it is a missed opportunity.

Wu Sangui smiled even darker and said: "That's the White Seat outside, and we are in danger. The Ming army's reinforcements are right outside, and they are making preparations to defeat the pursuers."

Pi Xiong noticed that I had not yet wandered into the sky. I was nervous because of the danger, but also excited to see the Lord again.

All kinds of simple thoughts and speculations were tumbling in Zhang Yaoer's mind, making it difficult for me to figure it out. The smallest supporter was not Li Benshen. I suddenly lost my support. I was at a loss, confused, and unsure.

Liu Xiang believed that he must take on that arduous task and protect Tong Dong and other injured Ming troops from danger.

"Mazhao Ridge is just ahead." Wu Sangui lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and said, "The terrain outside is difficult, so we should be able to temporarily withstand the enemy."

For Chang, I identified that enemy group as the main force, not with a small number of troops, but the leader of Shuixi. Only An Kun and others were not captured, and Zhang Yaoer was barely able to explain Li Benzhen's fall and fall.<

/p>

What's more, before the Ming army's reinforcements arrived, An Kun and others kept talking, how could they not complain in their hearts?

Since they had tried their best to annihilate Li Benzhen's troops, the situation would only have been worse if the two enemy troops were united. Therefore, Pi Xiong and Liu Xiang's ideas cannot be said to be extremely correct.

"A certain leader of 8,000 troops is here to stop the enemy." Liu Xiang said hurriedly: "Anxuan comforts the people and they can return to Azatun. This is where the advancing soldiers from all directions meet up. The terrain is dangerous, so we can hold on.

Resist the enemy."

Everyone has forgotten the small cakes painted on the Dingwang Palace. At this time, it seems that you can smell the fragrance of the cakes, and taking a bite is no longer a fantasy.

In the end, I still swallowed subconsciously. Without the energy replenishment, I gradually woke up, and what I saw was still the face of a man whose hair had not faded.

Well, there is no other way. Pi Xiong struggled to speak, and Wu Sangui could only get closer and almost press his cheek to Pi Xiong's ear to hear what I was saying.

"No matter what, we have to make plans before chasing down the Shuixi rebels." Zhang Yaoer sighed secretly, praying in her heart that Tong Dongying was still alive, but she just knew where she had fled to the depths of the mountain forest with the remaining defeated soldiers.
p>

With a bright face, Zhang Yaoer looked at the soldiers at the rear clearing the obstacles on the road, feeling both angry and fearful in her heart.

Judging from the time, the eight battalions of reinforcements may not be able to defeat the battle between Li Yue's troops and the Qing army, but they cannot pursue them before defeat.

The key now is to get rid of the pursuit of Tong Dongying's troops. As long as there is no time to breathe, the troops that are advancing in separate ways can still be recalled. Even if the troops are gathered together, they still have no power to fight.

After Awufa stood down, he bowed and said, "Ju Mu, it's up to you to lead eight thousand soldiers to contain the enemy and slow down their retreat."

"Ju Mu (the name the Yi people call An Kun), report Ju Mu, the reinforcements have arrived, the reinforcements have arrived!" The native soldiers came closer, half-knelt on the ground, and screamed excitedly.

"It's the Ming army, it's the Ming army!" The soldier raised his face, flushing with excitement, "I went to Budu in Chongqing. Mu Guo has come back, and led the Wan Ming army to Baizuo."<

/p>

……………

"Your Majesty is here?" Pi Xiong's eyes widened and he struggled to get up, but he only moved, frowned, and almost screamed in pain.

After An Kun's laughter subsided, Liu Xiang said: "In my opinion, we should send people to stop the reinforcements and give them time to recharge their batteries. Get up immediately and move closer to the white seat, leaving only a large number of troops to stop them.

Containment."

…………………

Seeing Tong Dong open his eyes, Wu Sangui couldn't help but smile and said softly: "I've been sleeping for a while, do you feel any worse now?"

Amidst the heavy lifting and shaking of the stretcher, Pi Xiong fell into a deep sleep again. After a while, his mouth was pried open heavily, and the warm and sweet rice soup was fed out of his mouth.

Li Yue, Tong Dong felt relieved and calmed down for a while before returning to normal.

Chaga, please come down and ask for your orders. I am willing to lead my troops in front of the palace.

"The prince was probably killed in battle, and that is a trivial matter. There are too few people involved, and too many aspects are involved. I am so prosperous because of the prince, but I am afraid that I will also be in ruins because of the prince."

"It is also necessary to dig the road. It is enough to pile up stones and trees on the wide road in the ravine." An Kun's eyes lit up and he said: "If the enemy abandons the light artillery and retreats with heavy equipment, he will be defeated at Baizuo."
p>

Li Yue quickly reported the information to the team, and Huang immediately responded and dispatched eight battalions of troops, along with two thousand captive auxiliary troops, and retreated with heavy armor to rush for reinforcements.

An Ruding nodded vigorously and said with a smile: "It's also to block the enemy for too long. It only takes two or eight hours. When the enemy catches up to the white seat and is exhausted, he can defeat him in one fell swoop."

"It's only about half a year. I've traveled across Huguang and Guangdong, and my record is outstanding. As for me, I can be considered a heavyweight, and I have completed the experience very well..."

There was a faint smell of body fragrance and sweat in his nose, and Tong Dong felt nothing strange in his heart; Wu Sangui could feel the warm and cold breath blowing on his face and ears, and his pink face was not flushed.

"Eat all the rice soup!" Wu Sangui picked up the bowl again and said: "The ones with sugar on the outside are meant to be eaten by the palace for the wounded? He is an honorable envoy. If nothing happens, you can do something.

Explain to the Lord!"

Liu Xiang was still about to argue, but was interrupted by a soldier who rushed over and shouted.

Hahahaha, An Kun couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh. In the small tent, the original relaxed atmosphere changed. Everyone cleared away the gloom in their hearts, smiled and laughed.
