Wangzhou cannot be lost, this seems to be Tan Lei's bottom line, and Lu Zheng has grasped this bottom line, so in a passive situation, Lu Zheng quickly rushed to Wangzhou, which is the so-called attack on the enemy's weakness, making the opponent unable to defend.

It has to be said that Lu Zheng's sudden action disrupted Tan Lei's wishful thinking and reversed the current situation. By the time Tan Lei made up his mind to return to rescue Wangzhou, the offense and defense of both sides had actually reversed.

Outside Wangzhou City, Lu Zheng's attacking army had already attacked the city gate from four gates. There were not many defenders in Wangzhou. They suddenly encountered such a fierce attack. They were extremely panicked. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tan Lei sent a letter to him, which temporarily stabilized the morale of the army. However, Tan Lei wanted to return to rescue Wangzhou, which was a false proposition in itself.

Because Lu Zheng's Liaodong cavalry came and went like the wind, Lu Zheng was able to bypass Tan Lei and attack directly under the Wangzhou city wall, so he had the ability to block Tan Lei on the way to Masangkou from Wangzhou.

In fact, Lu Zheng's style of play is exactly the same. Lu Zheng's attack on Wangzhou seemed fierce, but his real intention was to prepare a large number of troops on the front line of Wangzhou and Masangkou. He wanted to set up an ambush here, thus truly hitting Tan Lei hard.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry is field battles. Lu Zheng has no reason to give up his advantage, which gives Tan Lei the opportunity to look back at the state calmly!

The incident happened in a hurry, and the disaster arose from the armpits. Tan Lei's army withdrew from Masangkou. Although Kuang Liangguo suffered heavy damage, he refused to admit defeat and led the cavalry to chase him behind. Tan Lei was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

"Is this Kuang Liangguo really a candy? I have never seen a person like this in my life. He is so shameless and disgusting! Leave me two battalions of troops to defend, and the others will follow me to return to Wangzhou to help!" Tan Lei issued a military order.

Youdao said that the more anxious the matter is, the more anxious it is. When Tan Lei heard the crisis in Wangzhou, he was anxious and prone to making mistakes in his busy schedule. So he was only focused on Wangzhou, and the army retreated to the south in a hurry. After traveling for more than twenty miles, he could not move forward.

"What's going on? Why don't you go forward!" Tan Lei said.

A general came to report immediately and said, "The front army reported that the official road was destroyed and the road could not move forward!"

Tan Lei raised his eyebrows and said, "We will send troops to fight, open roads when we encounter mountains and build bridges when we encounter water. Even if the official road is gone, we will have to build a jump in the road again!"

After Tan Lei was in a state of anger, the army began to move forward again after a while. He dragged on it and only took more than fifty miles a day.

Fortunately, it was not far from Masangkou to Wangzhou. Tan Lei ordered the army to build rice and marching overnight after eating. In this way, he would definitely reach the vicinity of Wangzhou in the morning.

When Qin Xuanyi heard Tan Lei's words, he immediately stopped him and said, "Prince, the journey is dangerous at night, and the march may encounter a crisis! Let's rest for one night, and we will go south quickly tomorrow morning!"

Tan Lei shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, I know your thoughts, but at this time the battlefield changes rapidly. Not to mention one night, even an hour, or a cup of tea, it may determine the outcome of life and death. At night, we are very familiar with the journey here. There was a mountain road from Masangkou before, but now it is flat. Are you afraid of any danger?

Mr. Qin, Wangzhou must not be abandoned. If we lose Wangzhou, we will be in a very passive position!"

Tan Lei said this and gradually became confident in his heart. He looked around and said to his left and right: "Lu Zheng's forced attack on Wangzhou this time may not be a high move.

Now in Lu Zheng's army, Liu Song has tens of thousands of troops in Huazhou, and Kuangliang's country along the way also has more than 10,000 troops. The troops led by Lu Zheng himself are estimated to be only 40,000 to 50,000!

Wangzhou is not Huazhou. I personally built the city walls of Wangzhou. At that time, I took a fancy to the strategic location here, which is countless times stronger than Wangzhou!

In addition, Lu Zheng's cavalry is almost the same as ours. His military strategy is very broad. Ten times surrounded him. The Liaodong army is very powerful, but with the same number of people, they have to break through our city. Hehe, I'm afraid it's not easy!

We will have a decisive battle in Wangzhou and let Lu Zheng down. As long as he cannot win this battle in Wangzhou, the end of the Liaodong Army in this so-called Central Plains War is a complete defeat!”

Tan Lei's analysis was very clear, and it was impossible to refute it for a moment. Qin Xuan was a little uneasy, but after Tan Lei said so, could he wipe out his master's interest?

Besides, there has never been a shortage of flatterers these days. Tan Lei was full of confidence and someone immediately said, "Prince, the child surnamed Lu is young and frivolous. If you really act like a prince, you can let him bully him! Little did he know that this time he made a plan and got himself into the trap!

We won in Wangzhou, and the battle surnamed Lu will definitely be defeated. He was defeated back to Liaodong. Liaodong has changed everything. Through this battle, we can quickly unify the Central Plains. When the Central Plains are completely controlled by the prince, you can easily go north, knock on Liaodong, and get Liaodong back into your pocket. At that time, our Liaodong army will return to our hometown. With the prince, you are the pillar of this Dakang country, it will be earth-shaking!"

When Tan Lei heard this, he felt even more happy. He even forgot that he was in danger at this time!

After the army was burying the pot to make rice, and after drinking and eating, Tan Lei asked the army to set off quickly. As soon as the army walked forward, he suddenly heard a few cannons, and then the sound of a trumpet came.

Tan Lei raised his eyebrows and shouted, "What's the situation? What trick does this person surnamed Lu do?"

Qin Xuan's face changed drastically and he said, "Prince, no, this is Lu Zheng's ambush! We may have fallen into this guy's trap!"

Tan Lei shouted: "Even if we set up an ambush, there are so many people here, here is a flat land. What are we going to be afraid of? If we pass the order, our army will move forward quickly. No matter who is ahead, we will pacify me!"

Qin Xuan said: "Your Majesty must not be. Lu Zheng is cunning. He is very likely to regard siege as a cover, but his real purpose is to ambush our main force!

Our tens of thousands of people are the foundation of the prince. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be extremely serious!

Now there is no one here at night. Although there is a flat horse around, what should we do if the other party uses fire attack this season?”

Tan Lei was stunned for a moment, and his face changed drastically. He was not a person who didn't know how to be ungrateful. Qin Xuan's analysis was unlucky, which made him quickly think of Lu Zheng's character. Isn't Lu Zheng such a tough character?

If Lu Zheng really wanted to set an ambush, then things tonight would probably not be that simple!

"Tell me the order, retreat first! Go back!" Tan Lei said loudly, and just as he was speaking, he saw countless fires shining in the distance, and then he saw rockets roaring down from the sky.

"No, it's on fire, it's on fire!" Someone shouted loudly and the scene was in chaos.

Then he smelled the smell of saltpeter and the smell of tinea oil. Tan Lei quickly pushed his horse back and heard someone shouting behind him: "It's not good, it's not good, it's also on fire behind, and the fire is getting stronger and stronger!"

When Tan Lei heard this shout, he was immediately disintegrated. Only then did he realize that Qin Xuan had a prophecy and completely hit the point. Lu Zheng deliberately set up an ambush. The so-called Wangzhou turned out to be a trap.

Now Tan Lei has fallen into a trap and has been blocked from both sides. What should he do? At the critical moment, Qin Xuan said calmly: "Prince, we are familiar with the geography here. Two miles south is a river. When we walk to the river, we can go down the river to avoid the fire!

In the dark night, our cavalry had no way to act, and our opponents were also restrained. As long as we found the river, we could stabilize the situation!"

"Yes, right, Mr. Qin is really my Zhang Liang!" Tan Lei gradually regained his calmness and began to send orders to move closer to the river. Sure enough, after walking for a while, he saw a river. At this time, the fire around him became more and more prosperous, and the fire mixed with thick smoke swept over, and many soldiers were swallowed into the sea of ​​fire, screaming endlessly. This tragic situation made Tan Lei's eyes crack.

Fortunately, he had already arrived by the river, and many Central Plains troops also followed him to the river. Therefore, although the opponent successfully set up an ambush, it has not yet hurt Tan Lei's foundation.

The fire was burning, and Tan Lei took the opportunity to cross the night. After that, the danger was temporarily lifted. At this time, he no longer dared to make random claims. He found Qin Xuan and said, "Mr. Qin, I was ambushed today. What should I do now?"

Qin Xuan looked solemn and said, "Today we have shrunk our morale and lost our troops. I am afraid that Lu Zheng's army will quickly come tomorrow morning. The Liaodong cavalry is coming and going like the wind. Lu Zheng's cavalry has followed the path of the Northwest cavalry, which is the most difficult to deal with. If we don't have what we are today, we should be able to fight against it, but today we are frustrated, I am afraid that tomorrow..."

Tan Lei nodded and said, "Tomorrow, if Lu Zheng is out, we have absolutely no chance of winning! Hey, God is really going to help this person. I, Tan Lei, are dissatisfied!"

Qin Xuan said: "Prince, the military strategy is full of things. Those who are good at defeat will not be in chaos. Now that we are at a disadvantage, it is important to get out first. Stay there and don't worry about not having firewood!

We can't control the north of Wangzhou for the time being, so we simply abandon Wangzhou and retreat directly to the vicinity of the capital. Although Lu Zheng came in a fierce manner this time, his troops were limited after all. It stretched thousands of miles from Bingzhou to the capital, and there were dozens of cities. It was not easy for him to divide his troops to defend such a vast area.

We use this to exchange the region for time, and make plans for it slowly…”

Tan Lei sighed and said, "This is the only way to do it for now, but how can I retreat now? I'm afraid it's not easy! We may be deeply trapped in the enemy camp tomorrow morning!"
