Qiuchang City, official road, simple city wall.

Tu Xingping, in accordance with Ye Guan's order, consolidated the city defense of this simple wooden city wall. The security on both sides was also arranged, and all the soldiers were ready to wait for the large army to break through. He was responsible for the rear of the palace.

There is silence between the surrounding mountains. Occasionally, you can hear a few nightingales chirping. Everything is silent in the night. The entire Zongqiu Mountain is like a sleeping giant beast. Standing in the valley and looking into the distance, it makes people feel depressed.

Since I arrived at this place, Tu Xingping felt bad. Although things were going very smoothly, the city wall abandoned by the enemy here had long been dilapidated. Fortunately, the structure was simple and it took only one day to repair and reinforce. But even though everything seemed to be ready now, Tu Xingping still felt that something was wrong, but he could not clearly know exactly what was wrong.

So he ordered all soldiers to be on guard against combat and be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Facts have proved that Tu Xingping's concerns were necessary.

Under the hazy night light, a large number of enemy troops suddenly emerged from the mountains on both sides. Needless to say, they immediately began to attack Tu Xingping's camp. Fortunately, he had already made arrangements and prepared to deal with emergencies. The soldiers under his command immediately counterattacked and killed the enemy.

The sound of swords and weapons came everywhere, and for a moment, blood was rising in the quiet mountains.

The enemy's attack did not last long. After several attacks failed to break through the camp, he gave up the attack and disappeared into the vast mountain of Zongqiu, and soon disappeared.

Seeing that the enemy was so vulnerable, many generals asked Tu Xingping for battle and asked to lead troops to pursue him, but they were all stopped by Tu Xingping.

Judging from the previous state of fighting with the enemy, the enemy's combat power would never be so unbearable. Several encounters could be repelled by our own side. When they retreated so quickly, there must be ambushes in the deep mountains, which may be a trick to lure the enemy into the depths.

Tu Xingping was calm and composed in nature. The more he was in the battle, the more his mind was. He immediately realized that the place where he was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and there was a possible accident in the offensive and defensive battle in Zhu'an City.

After shutting down the generals around him, Tu Xingping was in a serious mood. The enemy's sudden sneak attack was definitely not aimless. What is the purpose of their attack on the current place? Is it necessary to wipe out his own troops?

After thinking about it, it was unlikely that if the enemy wanted to wipe out all their troops, it would be impossible to do it with a simple trick to lure the enemy into depth. The short battle just now could only make one realize the dangers around him and realize that there might be any accidents in the war in Zhu'an City, and there would be no other effect.

But why did the enemy do this?

Tu Xingping frowned, unable to understand the enemy's dynamics. He had not many troops under his command, and it was impossible for him to take the initiative to attack into the deep mountains to face the enemy. What does the enemy's attack on his current camp mean?

While Tu Xingping was thinking hard, he suddenly heard a slight sound in front of the account. He looked up and saw an old man in long garments standing outside the account, walking into the account. Who else could it be if it were Ye Guan?

When Tu Xingping saw Ye Guan appear, he burst into tears and immediately stepped forward, bowed to Ye Guan with his fists and said softly: "I have seen General Ye."

Ye Guan nodded slightly, looked at Tu Xingping, and asked, "There is also a war here, what's the situation?"

"There are indeed a small number of enemy troops coming to harass them and defeated them just now, but the number is not too large and it has not formed an effective impact on this place." Tu Xingping replied truthfully: "The subordinates are thinking about the intention of the enemy, but they do not want the general leader to come suddenly."

After hearing Tu Xingping say this, Ye Guan's brows immediately frowned. The enemy's movements were a little wrong. Normally, they used long-range catapults to lure themselves out, and fought a time difference to launch a fierce attack on the arrangement of the Eastern Palace in front. At this time, they should organize elite combat power and strive to destroy all the arrangements outside the Eastern Palace in a short period of time. At the same time, they attacked forward and backward, and surrounded the troops of the Eastern Palace in Zhu'an City.

Ye Guan asked Ren Zijin to take his men out from the back door to clear the road, in order to prevent the enemy from forming a siege against Zhu'an City, resulting in the destruction of the entire army. But now the enemy is coming to harass the place, what is the purpose?

Then, a light of inspiration suddenly appeared in Ye Guan's mind. He was shocked and immediately understood what was going on.

The enemy's movements seemed to be trying to encircle Zhu'an City, surrounded the Eastern Prince's Mansion in Zhu'an City, and wiped out them all, but when you think about it carefully, the actions of the enemy behind seemed to be leading their own nose. When the catapult began to bombard Zhu'an City, their plan began.

The enemy must have clearly known that the only one who can go out of the city to destroy all the catapults was Zhu'an City. At that time, they considered that they would definitely have ambushed at the catapults, and in fact, it was exactly the case. However, although the ambushers set up had extremely powerful combat power, they did not form a substantial obstacle to themselves, and they just delayed for some time.

When I returned to Zhu'an City, I found that the battle had begun and the situation was critical. I immediately thought of the two thousand soldiers in Tu Xingping's hands. If these two thousand soldiers were put into the battle and attacked the enemy from the rear, it would definitely play a key role. At the same time, I arranged for Ren Zijin to send troops from the back door to clear the way for retreat.

Originally, Ye Guan felt that his strategy was relatively thorough. It was not very easy for the enemy on the front battlefield to easily wipe out all the 8,000 soldiers on his side, even if their number was several times that of the Eastern Prince's Mansion. At the same time, Ren Zijin led his men to clear the road in the rear and wiped out the enemy's ambush. When he led two thousand soldiers back, he broke the siege of the front battlefield, and then quickly retreated to Zhu'an City, and then retreated immediately, and the enemy's siege strategy would collapse.

The focus of this strategy is the two thousand soldiers arranged for Tu Xingping before. These two thousand soldiers did not participate in the battle in the past two days. They are the new force, well-equipped and led by themselves. The combat power should not be underestimated and will definitely play a key role.

But just before he came, the enemy launched a sneak attack on the place, but did not attack with all his might. What does this mean?

The answer is obvious. The enemy is telling himself that the other party already knows the two thousand soldiers he arranged here. Even if Ye Guan leads his troops back and joins the battle, the enemy will definitely be ready to deal with the raid.

Ye Guan suddenly understood that all the enemy did seemed to be telling himself that no matter what strategy he used, it was within their expectations.

The opponent is definitely not Shentu Yan.

Ye Guan frowned. His troops were limited. Facing an enemy that was several times more powerful than his side, he was already in a difficult position to fight. He did not want to fight head-on with the enemy and retained the living force to evacuate as much as possible and prepare for what he would do later. But now it seems that the enemy has calculated himself in every aspect, with only 20,000 troops in his hand, and there are only so many strategies that can be used. Now even if he invites reinforcements, it is absolutely too late.

Thinking of this, Ye Guan quickly thought about the response strategy in his mind, and immediately thought of something.

If you go to the enemy camp alone and kill his leader, without the guidance of an expert, Shen Tuyan will definitely not be your opponent.

But the next moment, Ye Guan suddenly realized that the enemy's actions were probably to achieve this goal.

Tu Xingping stood beside Ye Guan, looking at Ye Guan's face and his heart sank. As he had just expected, something must have happened on the front battlefield, otherwise Ye Guan would never have appeared here suddenly.

"Master General, what is wrong with the war? What should I do if I need it?" Tu Xingping was also anxious and asked softly. The battlefield changes rapidly, and if it delays for a moment, the result may be different.

Ye Guan turned his head and looked at Tu Xingping, thinking quickly in his mind, making plans, and thinking about it over and over again, there may be only two solutions to the current situation.

Or, the hero cut off his arm and ordered the soldiers of Zhu'an City to break through. With Zhu'an City as the basis, the troops were divided into two groups, one by one, breaking through Shilu City along the direction of Ren Zijin, and breaking through the front gate of Zhu'an City straight to where they are now. There is no need to fight on the road. In doing so, you will inevitably be pursued by the enemy. Without the city as a defense, soldiers will be killed and injured. There may be fewer troops who can successfully break out than imagined.

Another way is to go to the enemy camp alone. The enemy used so many means to crack its own strategy, but the attack was not hysterical, which made Ye Guan vaguely feel that they seemed to want to let themselves go. But if they did this, the frontal battlefield would have to be settled, whether to arrange for troops to break through or return to Zhu'an City, a decision must be made at this moment.

When entering the city, trapped beasts will fight, and there will never be such an opportunity again. Once the enemy encirclement of Zhu'an City is completed, the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion will be wiped out one way and there is no possibility of breaking through.

At this moment, Ye Guan made a quick decision and looked at Tu Xingping, saying, "General Tu, the situation has changed. The enemy is now dispatching all his might and attacking the camp in the rear. Now General Kou Long is leading the soldiers to fight bloody battles. I will order you to immediately pull out the camp, throw your soldiers into the battle, raid the enemy from the rear, and reduce the frontal pressure."

Tu Xingping suddenly felt a sudden heart when he heard this, and then he realized it. He then clasped his fists and said, "I am the Lord of the Subordinate."

"The enemy should have noticed your operation this time, and the operation will not go too smoothly. Try to harass the enemy as much as possible and do not fight head-on. Once you find that the enemy is rushing up in large numbers, retreat immediately. Follow the current road and retreat directly to the Black Stone Bridge. Don't worry about the frontal matters." Ye Guan looked at Tu Xingping with a solemn tone. The task given to Tu Xingping this time was very heavy. Ye Guan was not sure whether Tu Xingping could do it in the next half of the sentence.

Tu Xingping looked at Ye Guan's appearance and suddenly grinned and said, "Why should the Chief General be so worried? My Dongwang Mansion has a hundred battles, and it is understandable that this remote countryside can be understood. The Chief General's order is clear. The Chief General must do his best to fight for General Kou Long's opportunity to retreat."

Ye Guan didn't understand what he said, but now the two of them are tacit. The task given to Tu Xingping this time is likely to be gone without returning, but for the combat power of the sergeant on the front battlefield and for the retreat of the royal army now, Tu Xingping happily accepted the order. In his opinion, this is nothing wrong.

Nodding gently, Ye Guan looked at Tu Xingping deeply and didn't say anything. He had given up his original intention. Now even if he led these two thousand soldiers back, the effect would not be much better. At this moment, he had to return to Zhu'an City immediately and arrange everything, and then he would be his own test.

He reached out and patted Tu Xingping on his shoulder, then turned around, and his figure turned into a green light and disappeared in an instant.

Tu Xingping looked at the place where Ye Guan disappeared, grinned, and then shouted: "Come here!"
