Zhang Heng did not think clearly about the problem. The generals of Long Xiang army who were left in the camp now understood. The defenders in Liyang City were not to defend themselves, not to buy time for the great retreat of Bozhou, but to keep their Long Xiang army in Liyang forever.

The army had all been engaged in the battle in Liyang City, and even a large number of young and strong men were transferred by Zhang Heng to the city as human shields, coolies and Longxiang Army camps were extremely empty. All that was left was only more than a thousand wounded soldiers who were injured and lost their combat effectiveness during the battle, as well as some civilians and doctors who took care of them.

As for the soldiers guarding the camp, there were still a hundred people, including him.

Now, he stared at the dark and heavily armed soldiers in his sight in a daze. At this moment, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his mind completely lost any ability to think.

The screams of the soldiers beside him woke him up from the sluggishness.

It's over! His first reaction was these three words.

"Form a formation and defend!" Subconsciously, he roared loudly, but he forgot that at this time, there were only more than a hundred soldiers who could fight around him.

The panicked soldier turned around and ran away smartly. After hearing the officer's orders, he subconsciously moved closer to the officer, lifted his shield and raised his gun.

But the next moment, the rushing momentum of the opposite mountains and seas was completely scared to wake them up. With a loud bang, a small army that was barely organized suddenly collapsed and the soldiers fled in scattered.

The officer finally understood that this was not something he could resist. Like his soldiers, he turned around and ran, and while running, he drew a special arrow from the arrow bag, pulled the bow and squeezing, and was about to shoot into the air, a strange howling sound came from behind him.

He turned around and saw a bright flying spear in front of him.

Most of the more than a hundred Qi soldiers running did not escape this round of spear throwing attack from Ruijin Camp. The short spear flew over and nailed them to the ground alone. The officer's arrows did not shoot out, and he pulled them behind him alone. At this moment, several short spears were inserted into his body, and the bows and arrows were lying beside him.

The charge torrent trampled mercilessly through his body, reached out one by one, pulled up the short spear inserted on the dead body, and without stopping at all, surging towards Liyang County.

Wherever the army passed, the entire camp of Longxiang Army turned into a sea of ​​fire, and all the food, supplies, weapons, and other weapons were submerged in a sea of ​​fire. The only camp that was not attacked was the only camp where the wounded were concentrated. Survivors hid in this small safety corner, trembling as they looked at the sky-sky fire and the whistling army.

When this black torrent disappeared, the only safety corner became chaotic. The first people to run away were the civilians who took care of the wounded, followed by the doctors, and finally the wounded who could move. At this time, everyone understood that the war had failed. If you stay here, you might be afraid that your life would be difficult to save.

All the people who were able to run away were only suffering, and the seriously injured lying there could only wait for the arrival of death in despair and helplessness.

In Liyang City, Zhang Heng felt that victory was already in sight. In Liyang City, there were still fires soaring into the sky and the smoke was covered with mist. Standing with a knife, he looked up at the sun that was already slanting west. Because the smoke was too strong, the originally bright sunlight became a little dim.

When the sun sets, the battle should be able to end. Zhang Heng secretly evaluated the situation on the battlefield in his heart. After he changed his tactics, the balance of the battle tilted towards him little by little. The army held its foot and pushed it over little by little. Although more needed in time, it reduced a lot of unnecessary losses.

The enemy is indeed very cunning, but without strong strength as a backing, cunning can only become a joke.

With the report of a scout like a lantern, his mind had already outlined the war in Liyang City. The enemy was gathering towards the West City in a planned manner. They were preparing to flee until dark and then in the dark.

Zhang Heng didn't care about their escape. The escape of a few cats and dogs did not affect the overall situation at all. What he wanted was to quickly take down Liyang City and then lead the troops to Bozhou County City. As long as he led the Long Xiang Army to the first to arrive in Bozhou City and inserted the Long Xiang Army's flag into Bozhou County City, the war would be over.

The enemy who fights the beast is the most brutal. There is no need to kill him. It will bring him more casualties. What he wants is victory in the war rather than annihilation of his opponents.

The enemy's combat ability should not be underestimated. The siege will make the enemy see hope for life, and the resistance will be weaker.

The battle situation in the city is indeed moving to the west city as Zhang Heng expected. A more complete defensive formation has been built here, and teams of soldiers are withdrawing from all over the city of Liyang to gather here.

In this battle, both sides suffered huge losses. The three thousand Ming troops led by Yu Xiu'e are now less than half of them, and the subsequent reinforcements led by Huang Lian also lost hundreds of them. Now, the entire army can only fight with only three thousand people.

The terrain of Xicheng is even wider and there are no dense alleys. When the war advances here, it is a face-to-face battle.

"General Yu, I'm afraid we won't last until dark, so we must retreat now." Huang Lian said.

Yu Xiu'e suddenly raised her finger to her lips and whispered: "Silence, what have you heard?"

Huang Lian and Xie Qiu listened for a moment, and shook their heads in confusion.

Yu Xiu'e's face showed joy, and she paused heavily on the ground, "Our reinforcements are here, the monk is here."

Huanglian Xie Qiu blinked his eyes and looked at Yu Qiu'e, thinking that General Yu had hallucinations.

But the next moment, a scout looking high from a high place suddenly screamed: "General Yu, the Longxiang Army camp outside the city is on fire. Oh, it's such a big fire."

A "swoosh" sounded in the ears of Huanglian and Xie Qiu. Yu Xiu'e had disappeared from the two of them. The next moment, she had already rushed to the high roof. At their position, the specific situation of the Qi army camp outside the city could not be seen, but the fire that soared into the sky and the thick smoke covering the sky were clearly visible.

Two more figures appeared beside her. Coptis chinensis and Xie Qiu looked outside the city with a look of surprise on their faces. Looking at the fire, it was like watching a lover who had not seen him for many days, full of joy.

"I just said General Huang would definitely arrive." Xie Qiu danced and his hands and feet were sore after the battle. He was too obsessed and almost fell off the roof. Yu Xiu'e grabbed his collar and dragged him back.

"Get ready to defend against Zhang Heng's fierce attack now!" After falling back on the ground, Yu Xiu'e immediately began to make arrangements.

"Shouldn't we counterattack next?" Xie Qiu looked at Yu Xiu'e in confusion. Since the reinforcements have arrived, why should we still defend against the war?

"This is not simple. You must pick the soft ones when eating persimmons. Zhang Heng's camp was lost, his back was cut off, and he was trapped in the city. If he wanted to escape, he would leave the city and attack back. He had no idea how many enemies came outside, how powerful the combat power, and the enemy's situation was unclear. Naturally, he would not rush back. We have fought with him for a long time, and he knew exactly how much strength he had. Naturally, he would be more confident in attacking us with force. Therefore, the next wave of fierce attacks by the Qi army must be difficult to deal with. Defend the enemy's attack immediately, and lock them in the city!" Yu Xiu'e said loudly.

Huang Lian also figured out this problem when Yu Xiu'e began to set up defense, but it was obvious that in the reaction, he slowed Yu Xiu'e more than a beat. Seeing this heroic female general, Huang Lian couldn't help but feel palpitations. No wonder the Ming army was so invincible on the battlefield. The person in front of him, who was not the main general of the Ming army, had such a keen sense of battlefield, at least he was more than he could do.

"I'll be ahead!" He pleaded loudly.

"Take you down!" Yu Xiu'e mercilessly rejected his request: "General Huang, my subordinates are more powerful in combat. This is the most critical time. I don't want any trouble. We are in the front and you are assisting on both sides."

Although he was despised mercilessly, Coptis chinensis now knows that it is not the time to be angry. More importantly, the other party is saying the truth. The troops fighting on the battlefield now, whether it is the Long Xiang army or the Ming army, are much stronger than the troops they bring.

Zhang Heng was completely confused.

He could see the fire that Yu Xiu'e and others could see more clearly. No matter what happened behind him, an indisputable fact was already in front of him. The enemy inexplicably appeared a reinforcement army, smashing his camp, and was approaching him quickly. At this moment, he hesitated. Whether to turn back to face the newly emerging enemies or continue moving forward, he was actually difficult to make a decision.

It was not until the news came from behind that confirmed that there were thousands of enemies surrounding the rear that Zhang Heng finally made up his mind and continued to move forward.

But this short half-incense hesitation gave Yu Xiu'e more time to deploy. At this moment, Zhang Heng, a general who was originally pretty good, was completely exposed in his decision-making, and on the ever-changing battlefield, this was fatal enough.

The soldiers of Ruijin Camp roared into the city, and at the location of the Qi army camp they had just passed, another Ming Navy Marine, led by Su Wei, finally arrived at the battlefield.
