"The good times may be a year of hatred, and there will be another autumn in the scattered moment."

In the eighth year of the Jin Da Road of Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, Lu You arrived in Hanzhong to work. He observed the beautiful mountains and rivers, and believed that this was a great opportunity to recover the Central Plains, and he was afraid that he would miss the opportunity and cause regrets for thousands of years.

By the 13th year of Chunxi of Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty, Lu You was 61 years old and had been dismissed from office for six years. He lived in his hometown with an empty seat. Seeing that the mountains and rivers were broken and the Central Plains had not yet returned, his anger burst out and he wrote another poem.

"The boat snows at night in Guazhou Ferry, and the iron horse is in autumn wind and strongly sanshu."

...

Wang Xiao was in Dasan Pass and suddenly felt the kind of sadness and anger.

He should not repeat the old stories in history, and he should not be able to serve the country and die without a battlefield.

Since we are here, the battlefield is in front of us, and the battle is about to come.

The plan may not be as good as others wish. Three troops sent troops, and the Western Army on Ziwu Road was defeated, and the situation encountered by Baoxi Road was more serious than expected.

Even if Ai Shengnan was sent to bring a army through the mountains and forests to support the Rui army, Tang Feng and Li Hongji were likely not to come on time.

Moreover, Wang Xiao has run out of food and grass.

But no matter what the other two wins and loses, Chen Cangdao decided to fight Boluo to the death on his own.

"Display my flag..."

In the camp, a row of soldiers walked out of Dasan Pass.

Wang smiled and looked at the battlefield. When the soldiers' military appearance and aura fell into his eyes, his eyes became a little more confident.

Even without surprises in this battle, he still believed that he could defeat Boro.

He can already feel whether the opponent's confidence is weak or not.

Boluo stood on the battlefield and looked around. When he saw the big words "King of Da Chu Jing'an" on the opposite flag, he felt inexplicably uneasy.

He always knew that Chen Cangdao's enemy was led by Wang Xiao, but he felt a little lucky in his heart.

Maybe Wang Xiao is really recuperating in Jinan? Maybe Wang Xiao went to attack Taiyuan himself?

After all, before the banner was revealed, this kid might have appeared anywhere...

But now it seems that Wang Xiao is really "secretly going to Chen Cang", but he is playing against him.

Originally, the troops at Dasan Pass gave Boluo a stronger Swiss army. But today, as soon as Wang Xiao's banner was revealed, their lineup momentum seemed to have suddenly changed and they became the Chu army.

Boluo didn't understand how to express this change, but he felt that... the other party's spirit was different.

It was like someone promised a bandit a lot of money and asked him to fight. The bandit was half-believing and half-doubted, but as soon as the banner was revealed, he decided to fight desperately...

Boro shook his head and drifted away the strange thoughts in his mind.

Just fight, the Qing army is clearly the stronger side now.

More than 10,000 people lined up their fronts in the Xiaoye outside Chencang City, beat the war drums, and waited for the Chu army to approach.

The flags swayed, the shouts of killing moved...

On the battlefield, the soldiers on both sides had already killed each other, and at the beginning they suffered similar casualties.

This is an acceptable result for Wang Xiao. This time, the soldiers under his command are not elite soldiers who have been tempered.

But Boluo felt unexpected that although he was still the superior side of the army, every time he fought with Wang Xiao, the other side had always hidden other conspiracies. This made him feel a little uneasy...

On Ziwu Road, Li Hongji led the old soldiers in the Western Army to escape for more than a hundred miles and finally stabilized his position, gathered the remaining troops, and there were more than 10,000 people left.

He has great experience in defeat. Whether he is following Tang Zhongyuan or now following Zhang Xianzhong, there are more and more cases when he is defeated, there are only dozens of people left by his side.

But this time, thanks to the terrain of Ziwu Road, the Western Army, who had lost their armor, had no place to run, so he left so many people.

After sorting out the remnants, Li Hongji sat on the ground with a big sword and a golden sword, not caring about this failure at all.

If he had no willpower at all, he would have gone home to farm.

The main reason is that there is no land at home.

His deputy general Feng Hualong came forward and asked, "General, why don't you go back?"

“Where to go back?”

Feng Hualong's eyes turned and he whispered: "Hanzhong?"

"I'll slap you!" Li Hongji cursed, "What can I do with such unethical things? We promised to conquer Ziwu Pass and Tang Feng gave up Hanzhong. Now we'll grab Hanzhong as a ball, and you'll treat the loss as a dumpling!"

"But if this terrain continues, it will be dangerous."

"Are you afraid of danger?" Li Hongji said: "You are stupid when Tang Feng is? Why did he talk to us? Because he wants to lead troops back to Xi'an. If we don't enter Ziwu Road, we can attack Hanzhong as soon as he leaves. But now, we must dare to retreat. He sends someone to block the exit of Ziwu Road and we will finish the ball."

Feng Hualong couldn't help but glared and said in surprise: "Then we are not trapped, we are blocked in this Wudao?!"

"What are you afraid of? The Tang family is still moral, otherwise we could have followed them for so long back then? If you want to get through it now, you have to conquer Ziwu Pass and let Jianlu see how powerful we are."

Feng Hualong asked again: "But Ziwu Pass is a dangerous pass, how to capture it?"

"I agreed to wait until Tang Feng exited the Baoxi Road, and I would like to double-team Ziwu Pass in front and behind, and wait and see."

"The general believes in him?"

"A real man promises a thousand gold."

Li Hongji spoke, and his long yellow face showed a sense of determination.

Seeing that he was quite heroic, Feng Hualong didn't realize that if his general really came to Hanzhong this time, he would be the king of Hanzhong to be the unyielding talent...

Suddenly a spy ran over quickly.

"Report! Report...General, there are shouts of killing at Ziwu Pass..."

Chen Cang battlefield.

The two armies had been fighting for a long time, and Wang Xiao had already taken another phalanx of troops to come up. This was the attitude of a decisive battle, very resolute and tough.

Boluo originally thought that Wang Xiao could only use surprise weapons, but now he realized that his command ability on the front battlefield was actually very experienced.

Just as I was thinking about whether to escort the central army again... Suddenly, a fast horse ran over from afar.

"Report! A Rui army appeared on Baoxie Road, under the banner of Tang Feng...Xieyuguan has been captured. Now the remnants of the Rui army are attacking Ziwuguan. Ziwuguan asks Duanzhong County Prince to send troops to support..."

Boluo asked about the battle situation in detail, his eyes were unstable, and he was not surprised.

He had known that Wang Xiao had made other arrangements, and it was true.

But he was still keenly aware that Wang Xiao’s arrangement seemed to be problematic this time.

Originally, Ziwu Pass faced 20,000 Western troops, and at that time, he wanted to transfer part of the defenders of Xieyuguan. However, once the Western Army was defeated, it did not affect the defenders of Xieyuguan.

Therefore, although Tang Feng has captured Xieyuguan, the Rui army has suffered heavy casualties.

Then when Tang Feng attacked Ziwu Pass again, the Western Army did not attack the city at the same time, so Ziwu Pass was still in the hands of the Qing army.

If this were not the case, I am afraid that when the fierce battle with Wang Xiao is now coming, it is not news of asking for help, but the double-team of the Swiss army and the Western army...

"Is this your trick? There is something wrong, right?" Boluo murmured to himself.

At this time, there are two choices in front of him.

First, defeat Wang Xiao in front of him. As long as Wang Xiao is defeated, he will not take any Rui army seriously, and the Western army will be taken seriously;

The second is to quickly advance eastward, defeat the Tang Dynasty's troops, and defend Ziwu Pass. At that time, there will be only Wang Xiao's small army in Guanzhong, leaving him alone and helpless.

The intuition of being a general for many years told Boluo that he should take advantage of the moment to quickly defeat Wang Xiao, which is a rare opportunity.

However, he looked at the battlefield again and saw the Chu army's indomitable offensive, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

What should I do if I lose when I fight Wang Xiao?

After all, this is still unstable, so it is more appropriate to save the troops first.

Now the Qing army in the Tongguan battlefield still has an advantage. As long as this side is undefeated, when the Regent defeats the Chu Rui Allied Army in Tongguan, the battle in Guanzhong will still be won...

"Duanzhong County Prince? Duanzhong County Prince?"

The deputy general beside him called a few words.

Boro came back to his senses from his contemplation, opened his mouth, and finally ordered the Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Yes, fight more steadily...

The Qing army left behind the bodies all over the ground and evacuated to the east in an orderly manner.

Boluo planned to retreat to Mei County first. He thought that as soon as he retreated, Wang Xiao would go to Chencang to rest.

He knew that the Chu army had not much food and supplies, and now Wang Xiao's safest way out was to enter the city to replenish supplies.

But unexpectedly, Wang Xiao actually rushed his army to catch up with him.

Bite it tightly like a mad dog.

This seriously slowed down the pace of the Qing army's retreat.

The two sides fought and stopped. The Mei County, which should have been available in one day, has not completed half of the journey for two days...

Another letter came from Ziwu Pass, saying that the city of Guan was in danger.

Boro was under greater pressure and wanted to leave his food and supplies behind.
To be continued...
