"Prince"

Chi Shutong waved his arms, which were only left with skeletons, and signaled to come to sit down. They all sat at Chi Shutong's hand and said, "The prince has suffered in recent days."

"It all depends on how I think about it. Wu Wei looked down on us in Xiliang and thought that after the defeat in the previous round, we would have to rely on them. Since that's the case, I'll give Tang a face. If they want to be the front-end, then go, and I'm happy to watch the fun behind."

"The prince is a good plan!"

"Mr. Dumo, you must have come here so rarely, that you are not here to flatter me. What news is there in the royal court?"

"The Shanyu sent King Xuti to lead his troops to attack the old Donghu area. In order to deal with our coalition forces in the Tang Dynasty, the Liang Dynasty transferred some of the troops from the old Donghu area to the front line, and this time it left a loophole for us."

"The Shanyu is not old and has a lot of ghosts. No wonder he can hold the throne firmly. In this case, did the Shanyu mention how this king needs to cooperate?"

"Your Majesty, you have done a good job. Shanyu is very satisfied. Even Shanyu himself did not expect such a way to preserve his strength!"

Chi Shutong giggled, and the face that had no flesh became even more ugly when pulled. She had never seen a terrifying and ugly person, but no one could surpass her.

The "Prince" had just seen the time almost come, and submitted a secret letter that had been hidden in his sleeve, "This is the news that came from the Liang Dynasty palace, and the prince will definitely be useful."

Chi Shutong took the secret letter and glanced casually, opened her mouth and swallowed it. After taking a sip of tea, he said, "Is this woman reliable?"

"Prince, please rest assured that this is the case. Lord Huangfu has always had a way to control it."

"Okay, I'm waiting to watch the show and let Xia Tang lose some of his troops to taste it."

Xiangzhou is the city closest to the southeast front among the thirteen states in the Central Plains, so the offensive and defense sides set up a formation outside the city of Xiangzhou. The former garrison of Xiangzhou was Guangyuan Army transferred from the former Donghu area, commanded by Yang Zhong. The reinforcements appointed by the court today also arrived, which were 20,000 god-killing cavalry led by Dan Tai Wengu.

The city of Xiangzhou is not big, but the city has stored enough food for the whole city to eat for a year. It can have 80,000 troops and a strong city. It is logical that there should be no big problem in defending the city. Unfortunately, there will always be exceptions in everything, and this exception appears in the edict.

As the highest military commander of Xiangzhou, Yang Zhong was naturally fully responsible for the defense of Xiangzhou. However, the Shenkha Tuqi, who was ordered, did not intend to obey Yang Zhong's command. The contradiction was in the edict, which only said that Shenkha Tuqi was to assist in the city defense, but by chance it was not added to the phrase "All things are obeyed by Yang Zhong's command".

Is this sentence important? It all depends on the cooperation of generals. Most people will abide by such an old rule. Unfortunately, Dan Tai Wengu is not an ordinary person. Since entering Xiangzhou, his status has been on par with Yang Zhong, and his army naturally only obeys his orders. So two armies that did not belong to each other appeared in Xiangzhou.

Wu Wei didn't get it at the beginning

He dared to take it lightly, facing the Liang Dynasty's army, he always adopted the strategy of temptation and harassment. However, after several temptations, he was surprised to find that the west of Xiangzhou City was actually independent, and they did not participate in the battle of the city, and when the west of the city was attacked, the other troops did not help.

"This is probably a trick. Is it intentionally trying to lure me into the trap?"

"Why don't Tuorong fight with real swords and guns?"

Wu Weihuo only turned his eyes. He didn't care much about the red technique eyes. The prince of Xiliang only had only 10,000 people around him, but he had an army of 100,000.

"Is it because the prince said that, is he planning to take the lead? That's OK. The prince's army has been idle for a long time. As a soldier, he has to come out to practice and keep hiding behind him but he has no prospects."

"Tuorong's words are reasonable. I think so too. I am just guessed by Tuorong before he could speak. I am ashamed."

"Then don't waste time. Military rations are consumed every day. Why not set off immediately?"

"According to Tuorong's order! I will mobilize my troops to attack the west side of the city. Please ask Tuorong to seize the opportunity to break the city."

Chi Shutong and 10,000 troops began to attack the west of the city. Just like before, facing the increasingly critical situation in the west of the city, the Liang Dynasty's army did not go to rescue. So Wu Weihuo did not intend to continue waiting. He personally led a hundred thousand troops to the top and selected the target to the south of Xiangzhou City.

Yang Zhong did not have all his strength to garrison. He had already planned a series of plans in his mind. At the moment, the enemy's attack was so fierce. If he kept it alone, his troops would suffer heavy losses, but he would have to flee without fighting. If this reached Emperor Liang's ears, his wealth and life would not be saved.

"Always pay attention to the movements in the west of the city, and any news will be rewarded immediately!"

Yang Zhong looked towards the west of the city for a few glances. He could not see the situation in the west of the city, but could only hear the shouts of killing that kept coming into his ears. Most of the time, he could not tell whether the shouts of killing came from his own side or from the west of the city.

Dan Tai Wengu was also paying attention to the battle situation in the south of the city. He implemented the strategy given by his third brother completely. If there was any difference, it was that he also listened to Ou Luyang's suggestions.

"Commander, our enemies are only 10,000, but there are 100,000 on the other end of Yang Zhong. Even if we put them in front of the emperor, we will be in a disadvantage." Ou Luyang said.

"So what should we do according to your opinion? Do we take the initiative to attract enemies?"

"Of course not! The number of people who kill the gods is not large. They are all trained by commanders over the years, so they cannot be damaged at will. The last general means that we retreat earlier."

"Leave Xiangzhou alone?"

"Commander, if the news spreads quickly, it will be invincible. Do you think the emperor will believe what he heard first or later?"

Dan Tai Wengu didn't hesitate for too long, so he naturally did not follow the Dan Tai's villain-itae's plan. After resisting for nearly an hour, the god-killing cavalry began to retreat in an orderly and quietly. The movements were relatively hidden.

The secret did not attract anyone's attention at the beginning, including the Xiliang Cavalry and Yang Zhong.

The first person to realize that the situation of the battle changed was Chi Shutong. The resistance at the top of the city gradually weakened, and his subordinates were less attacked by carrying a giant tree to hit the door. Chi Shutong smiled, as it was said in the secret letter.

"Men Liang, you are fighting in your own internal battles, that's no wonder I am!"

At this time, Xiangzhou was still completely under the control of Liang Jun. Dan Tai Wengu led his men through the city and ran towards the only city north that was not besieged by the enemy. He opened the city gate and fled, and he didn't even have time to close the city gate.

The matter was a big deal. Yang Zhong finally noticed the changes in the war situation in the city, especially when he heard his subordinates report that all the Divine Killing Cavalry had withdrawn, he was furious and slashed a female wall with his sword.

"Can't hold on anymore, retreat!"

At this time, it was really too late to retreat. Before Yang Zhong could run to the north of the city, the west of the city was already broken, and the Xiliang army began to pour into the city from the west of the city. The sudden breaking of the city shocked the Xiangzhou garrison and the Xiangzhou governor. The governor resolutely got on his horse and took the soldiers to fight with the enemy in the moment of crisis to protect the people from evacuating.

In contrast to the heroes of Xiangzhou Prefecture soldiers, the Shensha Tuqi who had escaped from the city and the Guangyuan Army who were planning to escape from the city. As a veteran who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, Feng Chu really couldn't stand Yang Zhong's approach and resolutely took the lead in opposing it and was unwilling to be a deserter.

Yang Zhong planned to kill Feng Chu on the spot on the grounds of disobeying the military order. It happened that the Tang army broke into the city from the almost unguarded city. Time was no longer allowed, and Yang Zhong was too lazy to pay attention to Feng Chu, so he led his army to escape from the north of the city.

Feng Chu's 10,000 soldiers of the tutelage guard followed the commander, and no one took a step back. They used the terrain in the city to organize a counterattack. The tutelage guards cooperated with the soldiers of the prime minister and used their limited forces to attack the enemy troops entering the city head-on.

At this time, Chi Shutong ordered the entire army to remain in place for the time being. They waited in the west of the city and handed over the entire battlefield to Xia Tang. Wu Wei captured a large army of 100,000, and even if it kept pouring in from the city gate, it would take time. After entering the city, the vanguard's fate would be to die on the spot.

Even though the city was broken, he encountered such strong resistance when he entered the city. Wu Wei was angry and his subordinates were also humans. So he ordered the people in the city to be treated as meat shields and expel them toward the city. At the same time, he used fire attacks to force the Liang army to retreat.

Under the implementation of the dual strategy, the advancement of the Lower Tang Army has obviously become much smoother. The Lower Tang Army outside the city has begun to surround the entire city, and the last retreat in the north of the city is about to be closed.

The governor of Xiangzhou held back his tears and urged Feng Chu to retreat, retain the main force of the army, and have hope of recovering lost land in the future. Never be brave enough to be a hero and die in Xiangzhou. How could Feng Chu not know, but his departure means that Xiangzhou is completely in full swing, and the mission of the soldiers does not allow him to do so.

In the end, the governor of Xiangzhou forced him to die, and Feng Chu had no choice but to escape with his remaining soldiers, while the governor died for his country.

"Commander, are we going to chase the large army?"
