Liu Yuan built a temple in the snail shell, forcibly rushing and struggling in the enemy's encirclement. With three thousand people, he wiped out nearly 10,000 Hunan troops that surrounded him, including a cavalry corps of 3,000 people. This caused great changes in the hunting ground between Zhuzhou and Xiangtan. It forced Ding Hao to adjust his strategy.

The most important one is that the 5,000 elite Hunan cavalry led by Lu Yuan were completely attracted to the North Tang army that made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.

Originally, Ding Hao and others' attention was all on Ren Xiaonian. The first thing they did was to isolate the mutual echo between the three Northern Tang troops. Although they still maintained this situation, there is no doubt that after Liu Yuan defeated the two teams of Wei Dongsheng and Zhou Can, he could theoretically enter Xiangtan City directly.

Lu Yuan's departure immediately gave Ren Xiaonian's troops greater room for activities.

Standing in front of the map, Ren Xiaonian did not make any noise for a long time. Below, all the generals were waiting for him to give orders.

All those present were veterans who had been through the battlefield. They knew what the meaning of Liu Yuan doing so was.

Liu Yuan was using his entire team to win them the opportunity to join forces with Qin Kuan and strengthen their strength.

In just one month, from his high spirits when he was sent to his troops to his haggardness now, Ren Xiaonian seems to have become more than ten years older.

Needless to say, he was trapped in a heavy siege. What's even more terrifying is that this action may cause the entire Right Qianniu Guard to be at risk. Other generals may not be clear about the joints, but Ren Xiaonian was very clear about them.

Why did things turn out like this?

Ren Xiaonian couldn't even think of it even if he wanted to break his head.

Why did Hunan, Jiangxi and Lingnan abandon all previous prejudices and reach intimate cooperation in a short period of time? Why was it obvious that Jiangxi could adjust so quickly after internal strife? Where did Hunan have such great courage to be willing to use the strategic situation in Yiyang that could collapse overall in exchange for E Yue's interests?

He can't figure it out.

So now he is in danger.

He suddenly turned around, his eyes red, and he looked at the generals under his command.

There is no need to consider these now. What he should think about now is how to do his best to make this team survive. Liu Yuan used his outstanding tactical ability to create a good opportunity for them.

Now, the encirclement and suppression of Hunan troops between Ren Xiaonian and Qin Kuan have turned to Liu Yuan's direction. At this time, it is his best opportunity.

He was unwilling to think about what Liu Yuan would encounter next. As Lu Yuan's thousands of elite cavalry turned to Liu Yuan's direction, Liu Yuan's final outcome was self-evident.

He must make the efforts of Liu Yuan's troops reward the highest.

"I ordered all the troops to approach Qin Kuan's troops immediately. Liu Yuan has set an example for us. No matter how many enemies there are, they are just native chickens and tiles. As long as we do not lose confidence, we can defeat the enemy." Ren Xiaonian said sternly.

"Kill the enemy!" All the generals yelled in unison.

It has to be said that Liu Yuan's series of brilliant achievements made everyone here burst out with infinite hope in despair. If they could destroy tens of thousands of enemy troops in a few rounds like Liu Yuan, then there is not hopelessness to smash the enemy's siege this time.

After a series of military orders were issued, when almost all the generals walked away from the central army's tent and rushed towards their respective troops, Ren Xiaonian sighed.

Liu Yuan won him a sigh of relief, but it is still unclear how long this breath can last.

Liu Yuan may not know that in the direction of Zhuzhou, the 30,000 mixed troops of Lingnan and Jiangxi led by Lingnan general Ji Zhijiang had already arrived. Liu Xinda's troops could be involved in the battle to encircle and suppress them at any time.

Although Liu Yuan annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, this did not change the overall situation.

The military order given to Qin Kuan was to allow him to occupy Tiaoziling within three days and seize a military camp of the Hunan army so that they could enter after merging with Qin Kuan. Then, with the geographical advantages of Tiaoziling, they could guard for a longer time and wait for assistance from the rear.

He now put all his hopes on the direction of Yiyang.

Lu Yuan's departure revealed a big flaw in the Hunan defense line in Yiyang. If Shi Zhuang could break through from Shuangjiangkou, send a powerful cavalry team to hit Hunan's heart, or it could slow down the pressure here and win time.

The only good news now is that in order to maintain the secret of the march, the Hunan army did not implement the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields between Xiangtan and Zhuzhou. The local people did not know that this area had become the focus of the struggle between the two sides, which allowed Ren Xiaonian to raise some military rations now.

All the raising is naturally just a euphemism. In fact, this time the Tang army took away all the food they could find. In the words of some Tang soldiers, they did not even let go of the mouse hole.

In Tiaoziling, a Tang army soldier crawled on the ground with difficulty. In his arms, he was holding a pack of explosives tightly. Behind him, more than a dozen Tang soldiers who were covering him were already in a pool of blood.

Some of them were killed by stone bullets fired from stone cannons, and some were shot to death by feather arrows like locusts.

Now, he has only one person left.

Standing in front of him was a stone fort, guarding the only road to attack the Tiaoziling military camp. After breaking through this stone fort, the terrain suddenly became widened. But it was this stone fort that had cost them hundreds of lives, but they still had not taken it down.

Crawling forward step by step, blood seeped out of his body and flowed to the ground, dragging a long stain of blood on the ground.

Behind him, his comrades were staring at him.

In front of him, the enemy on the fort was trying hard to kill this tenacious enemy.

From time to time, there were jingling sounds on the shield covered on his back, which were the sound of feather arrows shooting on it.

A feather arrow flew over with a whistle.

A sharp pain came from the soldier's exposed calves. The feather arrow nailed to his calves, passed through his muscles, and nailed him to the ground.

He screamed in pain and stopped crawling.

The enemies on the fort cheered.

However, the next moment, their laughter came to an abrupt end.

Because under their noses, the Tang soldier actually crawled forward again until he pulled the feather arrow out of the ground, and then took the feather arrow and approached the gate of the stone fort step by step.

"Call him to death!" The officer on the fort yelled, not knowing whether it was because of anger or fear.

"Attack, attack!" Qin Kuan snatched the military trumpet from the hands of his personal soldiers, plucked up his strength and started blowing.

Some soldiers at the forefront roared and rushed out of their hiding place and launched another attack on the stone fort.

Above the stone castle, all the feather arrows and stone cannon cars had to turn the direction of their shooting.

The crawling soldier suddenly lifted off his shield. From somewhere, he jumped up, limped his leg, jumped apart, and rolled and crawled to the gate of the stone fort.

The door was very thick, and inside the thick wooden board was a thick piece of stone slab. There was no place for him to put down the explosive bag. If it was placed at the bottom of the door, it would be impossible to destroy the door that was almost connected to the wall.

A decisive look appeared on the soldier's face. He pressed the explosive pack with his body, then reached into his arms, took out the fire fold, and in a flash, the flames ignited. Without any hesitation, he lit the lead. Then he turned halfway and yelled at his comrades who were charging with his shoulders.

"Kill the enemy!"

With a loud bang, smoke and fires rose, the figure of the Tang army disappeared, and the door, after such an explosion, finally collapsed in pieces.

Qin Kuan jumped up and "kill in and kill all the enemies."

Tang Jun, whose eyes were red by the scene just now, roared with stone bombs and feather arrows, rushing towards the stone fort with rain.

After a stick of incense, the stone fort fell into the hands of the Tang army, and none of the enemies in the stone fort survived.

One hour later, the entire Tiaozi Ridge was captured by Qin Kuan, and the enemy troops in the military camp were massacred by Qin Kuan.

The Tang army, who was trapped in a desperate situation, showed their extremely violent side.

Two days later, Ren Xiaonian broke through several routes to intercept his Hunan army, rushed to Tiaoziling, and met with Qin Kuan. At this time, all the two teams combined, and there were less than 5,000 people.

The first hero of the two ministries was undoubtedly Liu Yuan, who was still fighting independently at this time. He attracted Lu Yuan's 5,000 elite cavalry and won the most precious time for Ren Xiaonian. Before Ji Zhijiang's tens of thousands of troops had time to arrive at the battlefield, they captured Tiaoziling and obtained a temporary place to stay.

But at this moment, Liu Yuan had reached the most dangerous moment.

Lu Yuan's war experience is far from comparable to Zhou Can. In just a few days, he had already let Liu Yuan be in danger several times. Although he was lucky to escape many times, the God of Luck will not always favor Liu Yuan.

Because Ji Zhijiang had arrived, two huge cavalry teams began to squeeze Liu Yuan's living space from different directions. After confirming that his front, back, left and right were blocked by the enemy, Liu Yuan gave up all his fantasies.

It's almost that's it.

He has done everything he can do.

In the end, all I had to do was to fight to the death.

Kill one to make enough money, kill two to earn one.
