Qian Shouyi's face turned pale and looked at Yichun City, which was still still in the fire.

Judging from the degree of burning in the entire city, the fire must have started last night, and now it is basically coming to an end.

Cheng Guangzhi completely destroyed Yichun City. He placed a large number of unstoppable grenades and gunpowder bags in some key places in the city. When the fire broke out, the explosion followed. The walls were destroyed and collapsed, and the entire Yichun City became ruins.

With a rumbling sound, an explosion came from somewhere, which made Qian Shouyi's war horse under his crotch so frightened that it neighed a long time. He raised his hooves and wanted to leave, but Qian Shouyi tightly held it tightly. He could only dig his hooves uneasy and neighed.

After a moment, Hu Sheng, the general of Qian Shouyi's troops who had entered the city first, walked out dejectedly.

"Young Marshal, there is nothing left. There was a lot of food in the city, but now it has been burned to charcoal. The enemy left last night." Hu Shengdao.

Qian Shouyi looked at the broken wall in front of him for a long time, and half of his original plan immediately fell into the empty space.

The surprise troops emerged and captured Yichun, and at the same time they also captured the food, grass and weapons collected by the Northern Tang army here. This was a double blow to the Northern Tang army. According to previous information, the only one garrison stationed in Yichun was a captain, and only a thousand logistics and supplies were led, which should be easily captured.

But he never expected that the Northern Tang officer, who was just a captain, had such courage. Without receiving any instructions from the top, a fire burned tens of thousands of stones of grain to ashes, causing countless weapons to hear only a sound.

"Hu Sheng, lead all your troops into the city, repair the city walls and various defensive measures as quickly as possible. How many people do I want? Remember, you only have ten days, no, you only have eight days." Qian Shouyi took a deep breath and looked at the other party and said, "In eight days, the Northern Tang Yu Xiaowen Department will definitely arrive in Yichun. At that time, our main force was besieging Ren Xiaonian. If Yichun could not defend and let Yu Xiaowen break through and the two Northern Tang troops gathered together, it would be even more difficult to deal with. It is very likely to be a bad battle. All our plans would be disappointed."

"Yes!" Hu Sheng nodded.

Qian Shouyi stopped talking, ran back with a twelfth reins.

The main force in Jiangxi, not far from Yichun City, was camping. The idea of ​​entering Yichun City to repair it, was waiting for work, because Cheng Guangzhi's fire all became delusions.

"Ji Zhijiang!" He found Ji Zhijiang, the general of Lingnan who was commanding the camp, and Qian Shouyi went straight to him.

"What should I do now?" Looking at Yichun City where green smoke rose not far away, Ji Zhijiang also looked sad.

Qian Shouyi sneered and said, "If there is a city to guard, but if there is no city, will it not guard it? General Ji, we have a total of 50,000 people. If you take 20,000 people away, I will give you all the cavalry except your Lingnan headquarters."

Ji Zhijiang nodded, and finally said with some concern: "Without the city, 30,000 people face Yu Xiaowen's 10,000 tiger benches, are you sure to win?"

"Stand by me, it's not my place!" Qian Shouyi said: "My mission is to stop Yu Xiaowen. I know that although I have a large number of people, I will definitely be at a disadvantage when fighting. I am still very clear about this. But I don't want to win, I just want to be undefeated. If you are fast enough to eliminate Ren Xiaonian in the wilderness as soon as possible and return to Yichun, we will be able to win a great victory in this battle."

"Our troops have 20,000 troops, and Ding Hao's troops have nearly 30,000 people. In addition, Liu Xinda's troops have nearly 20,000 troops, nearly 80,000 troops have besieged Ren Xiaonian and 10,000 people. Moreover, these 10,000 people will be out of food in a few days. If we still can't win, then what else can we fight? Let's just surrender Li Ze as soon as possible!" Ji Zhijiang waved his fist: "We can come back in five days at most. At that time, there will be more than 20,000 cavalry alone. Let's see if Yu Xiaowen runs away?"

Qian Shouyi took a deep breath: "This battle is not only Jiangxi, but also Hunan has bet on everything. General Ji, if this battle is defeated, Jiangxi will be over, and Hunan has also given up Yueyang. If it doesn't win, it will be a waste of bamboo blue. Liu Xinda can still run, where can we run?"

Ji Zhijiang agreed deeply.

If this battle is defeated, not only Hunan, Jiangxi, and Lingnan can be protected? General Xiang has just taken the power. If he cannot use a victory to fight back against all doubts, the overall situation will collapse immediately.

When the big tree falls, how can the monkeys survive?

Cheng Guangzhi led more than a thousand people and a large number of mules and horses to move towards Zhuzhou on the muddy road. Bags of food and grass were hunched on the mules and horses, and everyone was covered with grenades, fire bullets and other arms. Cheng Guangzhi didn't want any other weapons. Now, thinking about it, those weapons that were not yet Kaifeng have turned into pools of iron juice in some raging fire.

The civil servants and Cheng Guangzhi were all let go.

Because now, he feels that he is unable to control these people anymore. If there is any accident during the process of arriving in Zhuzhou, he will not be able to control the situation with his hand alone.

Even though this team was just a logistics supply and there were people from the field medical camps inside, Cheng Guangzhi, as a veteran, still released scouts who were exploring the way in front and left behind to observe the situation.

It has been three hours since we left yesterday, and everyone was exhausted, and even the mules and horses were not willing to step on their feet.

But Cheng Guangzhi didn't dare to stop.

It's this kind of breath for a person. If he vents, he's afraid he's going to get up again, it's hard. Cheng Guangzhi had experienced such things in person during wars before. The team he belonged to arrived at the battlefield after a continuous high-intensity marching. The generals in command did not give them any time to rest, but just took them and went into the battle. Their opponents arrived a little earlier than them, so they had some time to rest.

It sounds like the enemy has a better advantage.

But after the two sides fought, the situation was completely opposite.

The Northern Tang Army defeated the opponent with a one-sided advantage. Afterwards, Cheng Guangzhi also specifically consulted the doctors who followed the army and then understood the truth.

Now, the situation is almost the same.

If I take a break, I am afraid I will never be able to walk anymore.

"Don't stop, it's really not possible. Grab the tail of the mule and horse. Don't sit down, walk, and move forward step by step. Every step you take is one step closer to Zhuzhou." Cheng Guangzhi shouted loudly.

In fact, he is more tired than everyone else.

Because he has more weapons than others.

Thinking of the grenades that had to be destroyed by himself, the storm, the oil bombs, the food, and all kinds of weapons that were not available at all, Cheng Guangzhi felt like a knife.

With a scream in front of him, a female doctor fell into the mud. Cheng Guangzhi took a few steps and pulled the female doctor up from the ground. Looking at the female doctor covered in mud, Cheng Guangzhi just nodded at her. In addition to the various medicine bags that were full of, the female doctor also had several grenades hanging on her body.

"forward!"

Cheng Guangzhi shouted.

"Forward!" The female doctor with tears in her eyes took a step forward with difficulty.

A fast horse came from the front, and the cavalry on the horse waved their hands desperately. Suddenly his hands stopped in the air, and a backward green onion fell off the horse. The horse galloped did not stop, but was still running straight towards them.

In the forest behind the war horses, several other war horses rushed out. It seemed that they did not expect that there was such a large group of people in front of them. They strangled the horses and watched.

Cheng Guangzhi's heart sank towards the endless abyss.

That was Liu Xinda's cavalry.

Cheng Guangzhi once personally delivered weapons to them, so he naturally knew these people.

The other party was originally a dog from the Tang army, but now they have shot and killed their scout without hesitation. The dog has bit his owner.

"Stop moving forward, line up, and prepare for battle!" Cheng Guangzhi issued an order bitterly. "Build a circular defense array, kill all mules and horses, and build a position with mules and horse corpses and food bags. The man moves forward and the woman is in the center."

After a moment of stagnation, the team of more than a thousand people began to act quickly according to Cheng Guangzhi's order. The soldiers pulled out the swords at their waists and stabbed them into the neck of the mule and horse without hesitation. Then they pressed the mule and horse to the ground, and bags of food were plastered. All the materials that could be used to build the position were used.

When Cheng Guangzhi and others built their positions, there were more and more cavalrymen in the distance.

Cheng Guangzhi silently gathered some branches and trunks together, took off a turbulent oil bomb from his body, unscrewed the lid, poured the turbulent oil inside on it, and then took out the turbulent ribbons and lit the pile of branches.

The fire started to burn, and streams of thick smoke rose.

Cheng Guangzhi stood up, inserted the knife at his waist suddenly in front of him, and said sternly: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, kill the enemy."

More than a thousand people, including all the women, looked at Cheng Guangzhi and shouted in unison: "For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, kill the enemy."

Cheng Guangzhi drew his sword and raised it high into the air: "For the ages, peace will be created!"

"For all ages, peace will be opened!"

Holding the knife and walking straight ahead, Cheng Guangzhi looked at his companions who were in charge and nodded: "Brothers, Cheng is very happy to fight with you. He does not ask for birth on the same day of the same year, month of the same month, but asks to die on the same day of the same year, month of the same month, and we will meet again in the next life!"

Amid Cheng Guangzhi's roar, the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side sounded, and more than a hundred cavalrymen rushed over.

Obviously, the enemy on the opposite side did not see a messy Tang soldier.

"Grenade preparation!" Cheng Guangzhi shouted loudly: "Light the fire, listen to my order, one, two, three, throw it!"
Chapter completed!
