It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 221 He fled, he chased, he couldn't fly
In the early days, Hou Junyan led Liu Ke's military order and led the army up the river, detouring to the main road at the junction of Jiangling County and Xiangyang County.

So he easily caught the scout horse that Shi Zhouhaoxian sent to ask for help from Xiangyang City.

Although Da Helu, who was far away in Xiangyang City, anticipated the crisis in Jiangling, even if he did not ask for help, he sent troops in advance, struggled a bit, and tried to go south to support Jiangling.

But Hou Junyan led his troops to fight and beat him back.

Ever since, Da Helu, who was not very firm in supporting him, no longer entangled.

Xiangyang is Xiangyang, and Jiangling is Jiangling.

As a famous Donghu player, he has a somewhat sense of boundary.

Moreover, Da Helu was going to follow his son's plan and find the right time to send out the blood book. The pressure was too hasty and intense, and too much hatred was drawn. If the Han army wanted to attack Xiangyang regardless, how could he delay? Time for the Lapu front to go into the water?

Therefore, Hou Junyan did not expect that the extremely difficult Juebei Road would succeed so easily.

This is another great achievement.

Seeing that there was no movement in Xiangyang, Li Jingji suddenly had a whim, and wanted to separate 3000 people to surprise the rear of Jiangling City.

Hou Junyan immediately agreed, although he only had 5000 people in his hands, after dividing Li Jingji's 3000 people, there were only 2000 left.

But on the side of Xiangyang City, most of them didn't dare to attack, and they didn't even send more scout horses, as if they didn't take Jiangling's life or death seriously.

Even if he really wants to attack, he may not be able to catch him, and two thousand soldiers and horses are more flexible.

And
If Li Jingji led the troops alone, he would definitely be defeated.

It's not that he, Hou Junyan, is arrogant and looks down on Li Jingji.

Li Jingji can't win at all, this is a fact recognized both inside and outside the court.

Using Li Jingji's defeat to set off his own success in Juebei Dao, wouldn't it make it more obvious that he had made great contributions?
Wait until the sun pokes out half of its head from the horizon.

Li Jingji has led his troops to Jiangling city.

In Jiangling City, a few Donghu people on duty who had just arrived at the top of the city had obviously not had enough sleep, and they were yawning in a daze.

Suddenly, seeing the banner of the Han army flying on the official road to the north, those Donghu people lost all sleepiness and panicked.

All of a sudden, the sound of shouting and the sound of urgent drums immediately became noisy.

"The whole army stops and sets up camp!"

Li Jingji had no hope in the first place, and relied on a surprise attack to take the city.

The Donghu people did not slack off either, and closed the city gate immediately without giving him a chance at all.

In fact, Lao Li also knew it in his heart.

Even if the Donghu defenders in Jiangling City really opened the gates of the city because of laziness, allowing him a chance to enter the city.

Facing the defenders in the city, most of them will be defeated.

And if the Donghu people took advantage of him to enter the city and closed the city gate, he wouldn't even be able to escape.

Therefore, Li Jingji didn't care about the seemingly impregnable Jiangling City.

About a mile and a half away from the city, he waved an order and stopped the momentum of continuing to march.

Following his order, all the generals and soldiers of the Han army set up camp outside the city in such a generous manner.

"Report, sir, it's not good!"

"There is a Han army outside the city!"

He was recovering from a serious illness, but yesterday he was irritated by the news of the Han army crossing the river, and was woken up by Xiu Tubi, who gave him a sharp reprimand.

Shi Zhouhexian almost stayed up all night.

It was only when the sky was about to dawn that he squinted for a while.

Then, amidst the urgent report from his cronies, he collapsed on his support, without even taking care of washing, and hurried to the top of the city.

"What? How is this possible?"

As soon as he went up to the top of the city, he saw the Han army setting up camp. Shi Zhouhaoxian was not well.

I thought that the main force of the Han army was still stationed at Jiangling Port, and there was still some time before the storming of Jiangling.

Unexpectedly, there was a partial division that went around the river and came to the north of Jiangling City.

Although it has not yet attacked the city, it is considered imminent as the soldiers are approaching the city.

"Damn it, hurry up and call Xiu Tubi to see me!"

Shi Zhouhao didn't know how many things he had missed during the days when he was seriously ill.

Immediately, he was a little panicked, and immediately yelled, the confidant hurried down to the top of the city and called Xiu Tubi to come.

"My lord, what will happen in the future?"

There was no joy, anger, sorrow or joy on Xiu Tu Bi's face, but he did not salute after seeing Shi Zhou Haoxian.

At this time, Shi Zhouhao didn't want to get entangled in these side details.

Xiu Tubi is a very typical Donghu person. He is informal and outspoken, but he is really capable.

In addition, he himself is now in a state of confusion, unable to come up with any ideas, and flatly rejected the proposal of fleeing north, wanting to defend Jiangling City to the death.

You can only rely on Xiu Tubi.

"The general came just in time. The Han bandits already have a part of their army stationed outside the north gate. Now the situation is quite anxious. Does the general have any good strategies to defend against the enemy?"

Xiu Tu Bi was still somewhat dissatisfied with Shi Zhou Haoxian, after all the best way is to run away.

No matter how easy to defend and difficult to attack your Jiangling City, it is no match for Xiangyang City.

Only by gathering all the troops, food and supplies in one city can we be sure of defending against the enemy.

Moreover, there are catapults in Xiangyang City, what do you have in Jiangling City?
But since Shi Zhouhao asked first, Xiu Tubi could only analyze the current situation:
"Before the end of the future, I have watched the Han army. Judging from the size of the camp, its total strength is at most 3000."

"Our army has not received any news. It should have rushed all night. The soldiers are exhausted. In fact, there is not much combat power to speak of."

"And the leader is Li Jingji."

"Jiangling is a little bit closed now. The Han army has sent some partial divisions. It is difficult for our army to know in time, but the main force is still in Jiangling port. There is no doubt about it."

"In any case, as long as the main force of the Han army remains intact, there is no possibility of Jiangling City falling."

"The soldiers and horses of this Han army are mostly set up for the purpose of approaching the city, so that those who are interested in the city can wait for the opportunity to move, and they are set up to cooperate with the inside and outside, and most of them will not take the initiative to attack the city."

"However, our army still has to attack in time to defeat it. Otherwise, the morale of the army and the people may be lost."

"If you want to talk about a good strategy for defending against the enemy, the final general would have the courage to beg your lord to allow the final general to lead three thousand troops out of the city to meet the enemy and retreat them. It should not be difficult."

Xiu Tubi was extremely courageous.

Already initially possessed the posture of a famous general.

After all, the threshold condition for the famous generals in the Eight Divisions of Donghu is not to be frightened by the overwhelming momentum of the Han army.

And his strategic vision is also very good.

He was never intimidated by the sudden killing of the Han army at all, after carefully listening to the news and analyzing the situation.

Not only did they not intend to stick to the city, but they planned to take advantage of Li Jingji's unstable foothold and beat him to death in one go.

"No, absolutely not, my lord, that Liu Zhi'er is cunning by nature, despicable in means, and will do everything he can. The people of Luzon have suffered from big men for a long time!"

"And Li Jingji has never won a battle since he joined the army, everyone in the world knows it!"

"Liu Zhi'er sent his light soldiers here, there must be something wrong with it, our army should follow the strategy set by the military teacher before his death, stick to the top first, and wait for Da Helu from Xiangyang to send support, and the troops and horses are in order, and then join us It is not too late for the Han army to fight!"

"Yes, you brothers are right. Jiangling has a strong city wall, so why fight the enemy in the wild and wait for reinforcements is the best policy!"

"Yes, if you make a slight mistake in fighting the enemy at this time, the consequences will be disastrous, please think twice!"

The Donghu people in Jiangling City were all terrified by the might of the Han army.

After all, not everyone has the appearance of a famous general.

Moreover, although Liu Bin died, the strategic policy he set was recognized by almost all Donghu people.

Just stick to it and delay the advance speed of the Han army infinitely. Can't it be delayed if I can't beat me?

At this time, many generals in the city, upon hearing that Xiu Tu Bi had actually secretly prodded Shi Zhou Hexian to lead his troops out of the city to fight, immediately they all became chaotic, scrambling to be the first to speak, and arguing together.

This made Shi Zhouhaoxian, who had just recovered from a serious illness and was in chaos in his mind, dizzy and unbearably disturbed.

"Enough, shut up!"

Hearing all the generals chattering there, Shi Zhouhe couldn't help shouting.

There is no other reason. When he was young, he was a famous general in Shi Zhouhe's army. He was old and frail and couldn't take care of many things, but he still had the appearance of a famous general, so he didn't hesitate.

And yesterday he had the idea of ​​dying on the battlefield.

Although Xiu Tu Bi persuaded him to flee north yesterday, when the Han army approached the city today, at least he dared to fight.

In contrast to other people.

There are quite a few people who climbed to the top of the city one step earlier than Xiu Tubi.

Shi Zhouhao also asked about the strategy of defeating the enemy.

Not to mention those who dared to lead troops out of the city to fight, all of them were silent, a whole group of wooden people.

Now that Xiu Tu Bi gave a strategy to retreat from the enemy, they instead formed a group to besiege.

And apart from following Liu Bin's strategy, there is no advice.

This is called Shi Zhouhexian, how can he hold his breath?
He slashed at the city wall with his saber, and a cloud of gray stone dust fell, furious.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down."

Seeing that Shi Zhouhao was so furious, all the generals who were shouting vigorously were immediately shocked.

Although the old general of his family is old and just recovering from a serious illness, his residual prestige is still there, and no one dares to stroke his beard.

So he didn't dare to say any more, stepped aside, and returned to the obedient and silent appearance before.

Just what is in my heart, no one knows.

"Xiu Tu Bi, if you are asked to lead the attack, what are the chances of winning?"

After the surrounding was quiet, Shi Zhouhaoxian's mind became a little clearer.

Li Jingji's impressive defeat was right in front of him, so of course he wouldn't be too worried.

However, it is impossible for the Han army to be ignorant, which shows that this army is just a false move to disturb the morale of Jiangling's army and people.

The follow-up soldiers and horses of the Han army must be planning something, and conspiracy and tricks must be guarded against.

Maybe there will be partial divisions who venture deep into the hinterland to isolate the defenders from Xiangyang.

After so many considerations, it is necessary to take the lead in defeating Li Jingji's troops and stabilize the hearts of the army and the people in the city.

If not, if there is a change in the city, once the main force of the Han army arrives, Liu Zhi'er will raise his arms in a donkey cart, and Jiangling may be directly breached from the inside.

"If you go out of the city to fight right now, you have a [-]% chance of winning. No matter how bad you are, you can still deal with one or two. The longer the time drags on, the lower the chance of winning."

Xiu Tu Bi's words were full of confidence, no, Shi Zhouhao had just finished speaking, and he had already given an answer without hesitation.

"Fifty percent?"

Against Li Jingji, there is only a [-]% chance of winning?

That should be in consideration of follow-up reinforcements, or ambushes that were not discovered by them.

This is how Wuling City was breached. Li Jingji lured the enemy out of the city in front, and the ambush behind him suddenly attacked.

Considering these, the [-]% chance of winning, although not high, is acceptable.

After Shi Zhouhe pondered for a while, he generously agreed to Xiu Tubi's request.

"It's quite a lot. Well, I will allow you to lead your troops out of the city to fight against the thieves. In addition, I will send another army to meet you under the city. I will also be at the head of the city to beat drums and cheer for you in person. Feel free to fight!"

"Shuzi is not enough to plan, and the day the city is destroyed, he will surely die!"

After receiving the consent, Xiu Tubi glanced at the generals contemptuously, spouted a sentence, stepped back from the top of the city, and went to dispatch troops and generals by himself.

It's just that this sentence made everyone's face look ugly.

What is the day the city was broken?

What does it mean to die without a doubt?
Unlucky, if you can't speak, you don't have to! ——
"General Li, Hu Gou is afraid he won't dare to leave the city?"

Outside the city of Jiangling, among the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Han army, none of them made a sound, ordering and prohibiting them, showing extremely high military accomplishment.

Seeing that the battalion was almost set up, a lieutenant cautiously approached Li Jingji's side, full of suspicion, and asked:
"Don't worry, it will come out."

The deputy general suddenly scratched his head.

Am I afraid that Donghu people will not dare to leave the city?
I'm afraid that if the Donghu people leave the city, we will be defeated and the tent will be set up for nothing!

Seeing this, Li Jingji was unsmiling, and there was indescribable firmness in his eyes. He reached out and patted the thick shoulder of the lieutenant general, and said softly:

"Don't worry too much."

Four years ago, after he proposed the strategy of the Absolute North Road, he would only lead the troops to block the reinforcements from Xiangyang.

Because at that time, his use of troops was still very rigid, and he would only copy the book of war one by one.

Even when the two armies are at war, it is the same. Even if there are arrangements in advance, the war will be rushed and there will be no time to adapt.

Something is different now.

During his days in Gaozhou, he never forgot to sum up Yue Shaoqian's experience in leading troops.

Yue Shaoqian is good at changing by chance.

And not only Yue Shaoqian, but also many generals in the Han army have been analyzed by him.

Even the famous Donghu generals, such as Zhang Huaiyang, Qiyan Sirie, Qiyan Jinhan, and even Liu Bin, Shi Zhouhecong and others who just fought in Jingzhou, he has learned something.

To this day, in general, I still have some experience.

The lieutenant wanted to say something more, but he suddenly heard the drums and horns beeping from the top of the city, and the west gate of Jiangling City was already opened with a loud bang.

At the same time, the suspension bridge hanging on the top of the city also fell down suddenly, and the lieutenant immediately stopped talking, looking solemnly, and looked at the city gate.

"Army attack!"

With the sound of drums, a general rode his horse and led his troops out of the city gate.

But he didn't go directly to the Han army's camp, but stopped not far outside the city, with his back against the moat, and put on a rather formidable formation.

If you will attack but not attack, it seems to be defending but not defending.

Seeing this, Li Jingji sighed a lot. He was afraid that this was another Donghu general, but seeing this formation, he knew that he was quite capable.

He was not in a hurry to order the deployment of troops, but had been silently observing the enemy formation.

After waiting for a while, Xiu Tubi couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to attack.

Only then did Li Jingji lead his army to meet the enemy.

The armies of both sides were intertwined, the drums were beating, the flags were fluttering, and the swords and guns were intertwined.

The soldiers of the Han army charged bravely, with great momentum, but the soldiers and horses under Xiu Tubi also showed amazing combat effectiveness.

Indeed, as Li Jingji said, he has grown a lot compared to before.

It didn't collapse at the first touch, and fell directly into a disadvantage in the first day of junior high school.

The two armies fought back and forth for a while.

But this is actually a disadvantage. After all, the Han army relies on the big camp to defend, and the Donghu people are attacking.

Li Jingji frowned, his eyes swept across the battlefield, and he kept thinking about countermeasures.

He saw the Donghu army's tight formation, layered upon layer, which seemed difficult to break through, but he was not discouraged, but calmly looked for the enemy's flaws.

However, it was not found.

"There is no flaw."

For a while, Li Jingji looked a little ugly, so he had to dispatch troops to stand firm.

It was only after the two armies dealt with each other for a while that he had to withdraw.

The big camp can't hold it!

"The front army becomes the rear army, the rear army becomes the front army, abandon the camp!"

Ever since, Li Jingji withdrew ten li.

Xiu Tu Bi followed closely.

The two armies fought, and there was another detour.

Li Jingji retreated another ten miles.

Xiu Tu Bi continued to pursue.

He fled, he chased, he couldn't fly.

It was not until near dusk that Shi Zhouhao sent an order to Ming Jin to withdraw the troops.

A group of generals were at the top of the city, and there was no joy on their brows.

To say they won, they did win.

Xiu Tubi chased Li Jingji for thirty miles.

But the Han army really had no casualties, so Li Jingji couldn't fight, and the withdrawal of the army was indeed unmatched.

Moreover, the large number of sentinel cavalry sent by Shi Zhouhao earlier in the morning also received news.

The situation is really not optimistic.

"Hou Junyan's troops bypassed the river and blocked the reinforcements from Xiangyang City in the north."

"Leshun also brought soldiers and horses to attack Yiling by surprise, and stationed troops upstream."

"what……"

"My lord, is there no good news?"

The generals were surprised for a while, and they couldn't hold back.

This is the North Road! !
In just a few days, Jiangling became an isolated city?

Shi Zhouhao glanced at everyone first, expressionless:

"When the Han army attacked Yiling, a fire suddenly broke out, and the fire spread for seven hundred miles."

"Our defenders stationed in Yiling, although they had nowhere to escape in the fire, were killed by the Han army by taking advantage of the fire, and completely annihilated."

"But fortunately, there is not much food and fodder left for the Han army."

Generals: .
One step away is to lose face and lose ground, but also provide the enemy with food and drink?
