Chapter 651 Sudden Withdrawal

Li Jiyu looked hatred and angry, and paced back and forth in the tent.

Gao Huan's intervention in the Shun civil war made his ambition to unify Shun's country basically shatter.

"Damn Gao Huan!" Li Jiyu gritted his teeth, feeling unwilling.

This time, Li Jiyu brought an army of 200,000, twice that of Li Guo and Gao Huan.

However, Li Jiyu was not sure whether he could defeat Gao Huan.

Now Gao Huan takes action, thousands of reinforcements from Liang's army entered Xinye, and the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted, which made all his previous efforts was wasted.

If you continue to attack the city now, Cao's soldiers will suffer heavy losses and may face Gao Huan's attack. If you don't do it well, you will suffer a great defeat.

But if he gave up the opportunity to annihilate Li Guo, his ambition to unify the country would be difficult to realize.

This made Li Jiyu fall into deep thought and hesitate for a moment.

Seeing Li Jiyu walking in the tent, Niu Jinxing seemed to be about to stomp the ground, so he stepped out and persuaded, "King, the world is now in dispute! My Dashun is not as strong as the Liang State and the Qing Dynasty. If the King wins the decisive battle, Liang State cannot hurt its vitality. If it is defeated, I will suffer heavy losses and no longer have the power to go east. Please think twice!"

Li Jiyu felt a little confused, walked back and forth in the tent a few steps, and waved his hand: "You retreat first! Let me consider it!"

That night, the lights in the tent were brightly lit, and Li Jiyu had not been asleep all night. As dawn approached, Li Jiyu finally made a decision.

"Damn it, Gao Huan wants to be a fisherman, how can I make you happy?" Li Jiyu slapped the table and had already made a decision.

At this time, he was about to summon his subordinates to announce his decision, but the curtain was suddenly raised and He Jin crawled into the tent.

"King!" He Jin couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw that Li Jiyu was not asleep, but then he reported: "King, the soldiers discovered that the rebels in Xinye County had abnormal movements and seemed to be going out of the city to fight us!"

When Li Jiyu heard the words, he raised his eyebrows and was surprised.

Gao Huan finally took action. For Li Guo, the best strategy now is to stick to Xinye and wait for Gao Huan's reinforcements to arrive.

At that time, Li Ji was in a dilemma and would definitely fail.

Now that Li Guo is actually out of the city to line up, isn’t that asking for death?

At that moment, Li Jiyu took his helmet, left the tent with He Jin, and went outside the camp to check.

In the early morning, just dawn, in front of Cao's camp, what he faced was not just Xinye City, but also nearly 50,000 troops led by Li Guo, Liu Zongmin and Hao Yaoqi.

Under the Cao army's flag, Li Jiyu observed the opposite army formation and was surprised.

Li Guo didn't keep the city well and ran out to fight in the field. Could it be that his mind was in trouble?

All the generals of Cao's camp felt that if they didn't take such a big advantage, they would be sorry for themselves and Li Guo who suddenly lost his brain.

This made the generals of Cao's camp who originally thought they should retreat change their minds and are eager to try.

"King! We have 150,000 people, and the other side has only 50,000. We can fight!" He Jin said.

Li Guo hid in the city, and Cao's army had no choice but to do anything to him for a while, but now he went out of the city to line up, Cao's army still had a great chance of winning by three against one.

Damn, there were only a few thousand Liang army reinforcements, and Li Guo was like he was injected with chicken blood.

Is the Liang army so powerful when they participate in the war?

Li Jiyu's face was gloomy. If something happened abnormal, there would be a demon. He knew that Li Guo would not suddenly get into the head, but had some intentions, so he would restrain him and did not want him to withdraw his troops.

Compared with the strength of Shunguo and Liangguo, as long as Gao Huan decides to take action, Li Jiyu will not be able to occupy Nanyang and Xiangyang.

These two places are not like Guanzhong's passes that can be defended. After the Liang army occupied Wuchang, Nanyang and Xiangyang were actually attacked by the Liang army from north to south.

Now Gao Huan only sent 50,000 troops, but with the strength of Liang State, he could continuously mobilize reinforcements and supplies to Nanyang and Xiangyang. Li Jiyu obviously could not fight the Liang army for a long time.

If the Qing Dynasty and Beiming did not fully help each other, Li Jiyu would temporarily take advantage of it, and in the end he would retreat into Guanzhong and stick to it due to the gap in strength.

"Li Guo left the city to form a formation! It must be Gao Huan's intention. The purpose is to attract me to attack. When I fight with Li Guo until I am exhausted, I will lead the main force to kill and reap the benefits of the fisherman!" Li Jiyu sneered repeatedly.

Gao Huan's intentions have already seen through Li Jiyu, who is trying to severely hurt him in Nanyang and then take the opportunity to seize Guanzhong.

At this time, Li Jiyu was already a little regretful and did not follow Duoduo and Hong Chengchou's advice.

Now he did not resolve Li Guo and unify Shunguo under the interference of Liang State.

He sent troops to attack fiercely, not only failed to destroy Li Guo, but instead forced Li Guo to Gao Huan's side.

At this time, he narrowed his eyes and saw the beam flag erected in the Shunjun, and felt a sense of regret.

"I'm doing a lot of help from Gao Huan this time!" Li Jiyu sighed, then pulled out the reins of the horse and said, "Send the order, the cavalry will be cut off and retreat to Dengzhou!"

He Jin and others looked at the formation of people and couldn't help but ask: "King, are you really withdrawing your troops?"

Li Jiyu pointed at the Liangqiu in the opposite formation and said in a deep voice: "Retreat!"

Li Guo's daring to go out of the city to line up shows that Gao Huan is sure to solve Tian Jianxiu's obstacle.

If the battle is so intense and the Liang army arrives, they will inevitably be defeated!

Furthermore, Li Guo was forced to surrender to Gao Huan because of Li Jiyu's attack. Li Jiyu did not want Li Guo to completely turn to Gao Huan.

Nanyang Prefecture City.

Under the city, the Liang army's mortar cannon position roared.

The shells rose into the air and fell into the city, with loud noises rising, thick black smoke rising.

More than a year after the Battle of Wuchang, Liang's mortars and flowering bullets matured a little more.

The shells fell into the city and exploded, blowing the soldiers on the top of the city and smashing the cannon trucks on the back of the city wall, causing Tian Jianxiu's city defense system to be destroyed in a moment.

At this time, Tian Jianxiu squatted behind the city wall with shock on his face, looking at the messy city wall after the explosion, with a little panic in his eyes.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

There was a drum sound outside the city.

"No, Liang Bing is going to attack the city!" Tian Jianxiu exclaimed and quickly shouted, "All up, prepare to defend the city!"

"Kill!"

Outside the city, Liang Jun, who was carrying the city ladder, launched a wild charge.

The moat was frozen in winter. Liang soldiers carried a long ladder and pushed the siege equipment directly into the city. The soldiers climbed up the long ladder and rushed to the top of the city that was blown by fire.

At the beginning of the battle, Nanyang City was in danger.

At this time, Tian Jianxiu was commanding his subordinates to defend, intending to resist the Liang army. Suddenly, a general hurriedly climbed the city and reported urgently, "General Quan! The king has an order, and the entire army retreats to Guanzhong!"

Tian Jianxiu saw Liang Jun rushing to the city. What is the difference between retreating now and escaping, but he still stomped his feet and gritted his teeth, and said with hatred: "Retreat!"
