When two armies fight, the real defeat is often just a matter of a moment. This is especially obvious during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Before the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry rushed into Liang Jun's camp, there were still Liang's soldiers running around telling each other to organize the defense against the enemy. Liang's soldiers on the tower also bent their bows and nocked arrows, and kept shooting arrows.

However, these are all useless and invincible sharp arrows. When facing the heavy cavalry of Fengdu Ghost Cavalry, they are like poisonous snakes without their fangs.

Even the clanking sound made by the heavy armor of Fengdu Ghost Rider was drowned out by the deafening sound of horse hooves.

The simple protective measures of the camp were extremely fragile under the iron hooves of heavy cavalry such as Fengdu Ghost Cavalry, and they collapsed at the first touch. It only slightly slowed down the speed of Fengdu Ghost Cavalry.

But this deceleration is also very limited. As long as there is a distance of about seventy feet, the previous speed can be restored.

As the camp wall was breached, Sergeant Liang suddenly lost the courage to resist and fled in all directions.

Not because there were only two thousand heavy cavalry, but because the heavy cavalry was followed by an endless sea of ​​people as far as the eye could see.

If there are only two thousand heavy cavalry, in the camp, as long as you pay a small price, you can still eat this heavy cavalry.

But it is obvious that this heavy cavalry is just the vanguard of the enemy. If you want to forcefully eat this heavy cavalry, you have to ask the large troops behind them if they agree.

So how should Liang Jun face this ferocious heavy armored cavalry?

The answer given by Sergeant Liang was: Then why ask? Of course it’s important to escape first!

Just kidding, you’re all skinny and skinny, why should you compete with someone else’s iron skin and skinny skin?

This is not a matter of courage, but a matter of taking one's own life seriously.

Obviously, these Liang Jun still take their lives seriously.

The Fengdu Ghost Cavalry drove Liang Jun away, while the Chu army filed in through the gap created by the Fengdu Ghost Cavalry, killing everyone on sight, leaving no one alive, and headed straight for Liang Jun's granary.

The combined military strength of the three countries is completely capable of confronting Liang Guo, but it is difficult to unite the hearts of the people. This will only give Liang Guo an opportunity.

Therefore, Jiang Yunqing's purpose is to directly attack Liang Jun's weaknesses and minimize the risk, which is undoubtedly the best strategy.

The Liang army in the east was defeated, and the soldiers transferred from the east were already engaged in the battlefields against Shu and Qi. This defeat was difficult to stop for a while.

Zhu Youqian had no choice but to withdraw the troops attacking Fengxiang and use them to fill the vacancy in the east.

But the purpose of the Chu army was not to defeat the entire Liang army, but to find the granaries, burn them one by one, and then leave.

Come easily and leave gracefully.

Liang Jun's eastern camp was left alone in a mess, with only ashes of the granary and thick smoke.

What was burned this time was not only the empty granaries used by Liang Jun's old suspicion formation, but also the few real granaries containing grain.

When the Chu army left, they set off a retreating fireworks signal. The Shu and Qi armies in the south and north stopped entangled too much and each looked for opportunities to escape.

After escaping, each of them sent envoys to exchange information on the battle damage, and found that they were all within acceptable limits.

The Qi army in the north had the largest battle losses, reaching 9,000, which was close to 10,000 people. For the Qi army, which only had 50,000 troops, the battle loss ratio reached one-fifth, which was already quite a large number. amount.

There was no way around it. The Qi army in the north encountered the Yinqianxiaojie army that had been affiliated with Yang Shihou, which was the best among the best in Liang's army.

Although Yang Shihou left, he left behind his Silver Spear Army.

Zhu Youqian was not willing to let this army participate in the siege, so he placed it in the camp to the north by coincidence.

After Liu Zhijun encountered the Silver Spear Army, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it, fight and retreat, trying to hold off the Silver Spear Army as much as possible and prevent it from returning to the granary.

In the end, they paid the price of one-fifth of their troops, holding back the Silver Spear Army so that it had no chance to return reinforcements.

When we finally retreated, we almost fell into the encirclement of the Silver Spear Army. We narrowly escaped, which was considered a good result. Although the loss of nearly 10,000 troops was distressing, it was still within the acceptable range. .

If you don't do well in your own intelligence work, you can't blame others.

The losses of the Shu army were second, only more than 5,000.

At the beginning, there was no disadvantage. After all, the Shu Kingdom dispatched a hundred thousand troops, while Liang Jun's southern camp only had about 80,000 defenders.

But then Liang Jun's reinforcements from the east camp arrived, and the Shu army began to struggle. Later, Liang Jun even suppressed the pace of the attack.

If the Chu army's retreat signal had not come in time, they would have suffered more than this loss.

Chu State undoubtedly suffered the least losses.

In the front, a large number of troops from Liang Jun's east camp were transferred away, and in the back, Fengdu ghost cavalry opened the way. Except for some of them being trampled by their own people, or being secretly slaughtered by Liang Jun who was hiding in the camp and had no time to evacuate, there was basically nothing. casualties.

After the old man Ma Yin learned about the battle losses of all parties, he smiled so happily. As long as the people next to you pay a little attention, they can basically count how many teeth the old man Ma Yin has left.

While the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Shu were happy, the atmosphere among Liang Jun was very tense.

Zhu Youzhen was furious and almost scolded all the generals from top to bottom. He even gave Zhu Youqian a big slap in the face and shouted that Zhu Youqian would be removed from his post as commander of the three armies.

Fortunately, all the generals in the camp still saw the situation clearly and knew that it was not a good idea to change the commander again. If it failed, everyone would die.

After being dissuaded by many generals, Zhu Youzhen finally did not kill Zhu Youqian, but asked him to think of a countermeasure quickly.

Zhu Youqian was already having a headache when he was made such a fuss by the Three Kingdoms of Qishu and Chu. However, after receiving such a slap from Zhu Youzhen, he was immediately stunned.

By the time he came to his senses, Zhu Youzhen had already left. Looking helplessly at the generals waiting to be fed in the camp, Zhu Youqian felt an even greater headache.

Although the granary burned by the Chu army was not all of Liang Jun's granary, it was still most of it.

The remaining food and grass can only support Liang Jun's normal expenses for one day.

Of course, if you save money and eat porridge every now and then, you can still persist for an extra day or two, but at most it will be a slow death, and you will not be able to escape the result of death after all.

The morale of the army has begun to weaken, and soldiers everywhere are discussing the issue of food and grass.

All the granaries near the east were burned down. Such a big thing cannot be hidden. Even if a few higher officials punish a few groups of soldiers for gossiping, it will be of no avail. After all, these tens of thousands of mouths are It's really hard to manage.

There was no other way. The final decision after discussion was to use all the food to reward the entire army, and while briefly defeating the "rumors", prepare for the final decisive battle tomorrow.

When the panic in Liang Jun's camp was briefly stabilized, Jiang Yunqing had quietly left Fengxiang City with a group of masters.

As the saying goes, dogs will jump over the wall when they are anxious, not to mention that Liang Jun is far more terrifying than a dog. At this time, Liang Jun, who is truly in a desperate situation, is really fighting to the death.

Once tomorrow's decisive battle begins, I don't know what will happen to the Liang Army, the Shu Army, and the Chu Army, but they will definitely fight Fengxiang to the death.

Even if the Qi State can win in the end, its vitality will inevitably be severely damaged, and Chu and Shu may take advantage of the opportunity to invade.

If you want to be fully prepared, you must try to read people's hearts with the greatest possible malice.

This is what Jiang Yunqing realized after experiencing severe beatings from society in his previous life.

As the saying goes, if one method can be used, all methods can be solved. This principle can also be applied at this time.

Jiang Yunqing quietly sneaked into Liang Jun's camp with Black and White Wuchang, the Six Saints of Huanyinfang, and the Empress.

Originally, Jiang Yunqing did not want the Empress to follow him. Even when planning this operation, he hid it from the Empress and did not inform her.

As a result, when they finally set off, when mobilizing the Holy Princesses, they still alarmed the Empress.

Jiang Yunqing still remembered that he had made up several very good reasons at that time, but when the empress stared at him with stern eyes, as if you don't want me to take risks, I will die for you now, even though she had a thousand words I can't even speak any words.

Jiang Yunqing was about to draw his sword when he saw the empress, so naturally he didn't dare to dissuade him any more. If the empress really did anything good after he left, what should he do?

Of course, it is also possible that the empress drew her sword and slashed him on the spot to see if he dared to act without her.

All in all, Jiang Yunqing had to take the empress into action.

After entering Liang Jun's barracks, Jiang Yunqing suddenly felt mixed emotions when he saw Liang Jun who had relaxed his vigilance after eating and drinking.

This person is really easy to deceive! Just a full meal can calm people who are on the verge of despair.

Just like leeks in all walks of life in previous lives, after cutting, find an expert or something to stabilize the market, and then continue cutting.

Don't look at Jiang Yunqing's sadness at this time. In fact, in his previous life, he was also cut like a leek.

They captured about a dozen of Liang's soldiers one after another, and finally got the exact location of several suspected Zhu Youzhen camps.

Jiang Yunqing also wanted to capture more people and lock the position more accurately.

Unfortunately, they were exposed.

However, it was not discovered by Liang Jun's patrolling soldiers, but by an old acquaintance.

"Come out, I knew you would come!"

A tall, armored man with red hair and a red beard blocked their way.

It was Zhu Youwen, the ghost king of Xuanming Cult in Liang Guo, who was also an old acquaintance of Jiang Yunqing. It was Jiang Yunqing who rescued this guy with Zhang Xuanling.

"There has been news for a long time that you are going to the expedition with Zhu Youzhen, but I didn't see you helping me along the way. So you are waiting for me here!"

Jiang Yunqing noticed that all the soldiers around Liang had been transferred out at some point, so he stopped hiding and appeared directly to meet Zhu Youwen.

As for the Empress and her group, Jiang Yunqing asked them to leave.

Based on Jiang Yunqing's guess about Zhu Youwen's temperament, Zhu Youwen, a militant, should be targeting him at this time, and he should not care about people like the empress.

After all, the family affection between the old Zhu family of Liang was really touching, and Jiang Yunqing believed in the brotherly love between Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen. Jiang Yunqing would rather the water of the Yellow River was clear to the bottom.

At worst, if we sink people to the bottom of the Yellow River, it will be considered crystal clear.

As for the two brothers Zhu Youwen and Zhu Youzhen, they had different purposes. Otherwise, Jiang Yunqing could just sit in Fengxiang City and wait for Zhu Youwen to deliver Zhu Youzhen's head to him.

"There is nothing I can do. I have made a breakthrough in my practice recently. I need to find someone to confirm it."

Zhu Youwen shrugged helplessly, giving people the feeling that he came to Jiang Yunqing out of helplessness. Is this human language?

"You can go find Zhang Xuanling. After all, you have had grievances before, and you can just settle the matter."

Jiang Yunqing tried to persuade Zhu Youwen, a fool, to go to Longhu Mountain to trouble Zhang Xuanling, so that he would have a 100% chance of winning tonight.

Moreover, as Gu Jiang Yunqing knows, Zhang Xuanling recently had an old heavenly master return to Longhu Mountain. The husband and wife reunited after a long absence, and their son was also found. They recognized their ancestors and returned to the clan again. They were simply enjoying the blessings of the whole family. So unhappy.

It's time to find some trouble for him, otherwise he would be busy and exhausted, and his heart would be somewhat unbalanced.

"I went to Longhu Mountain and he was in retreat!"

Zhu Youwen shook his head and said that he had already visited Longhu Mountain on his way to the expedition with Liang Jun.

I still remember that Xu Huan, the wife of the old guy Zhang Xuanling, received him at the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

Maybe it didn't sound good to the receptionist, but if he was blocked at the door, then he was the one who didn't sound good.

Of course, Zhu Youwen is not that easy to fool, and one-sided words cannot be trusted at all.

Although Xu Huan said so, Zhu Youwen still sneaked into the retreat place of the Tianshi in Longhu Mountain to confirm.

Discovering that the old guy Zhang Xuanling was indeed in seclusion, Zhu Youwen put his trust in others and felt that Zhang Xuanling, like him, had made breakthroughs recently.

After all, the two of them also gained the concept of a higher realm from Jiang Yunqing together.

Although the old guy Zhang Xuanling is not as talented and qualified as him, he is still a Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, so it is not surprising that he has some enlightenment.

If you really get nothing, that would be weird.

However, what Zhu Youwen didn't know was that although Zhang Xuanling had some enlightenment, there was no sign of a breakthrough. At that time, he simply wanted to get entangled with Zhu Youwen, so he hid in a retreat place and pretended to be in retreat.

"You really believe it!"

Jiang Yunqing opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

When did the Xuanming Sect's intelligence network become so rubbish? Don’t you even know a little bit about Longhu Mountain?

"Is not it?"

Zhu Youwen frowned. He saw Zhang Xuanling in retreat with his own eyes. How could it be false?

"Maybe, yes!"

At this point, Jiang Yunqing also knew that it was impossible to let Zhu Youwen go again.

"In this case, you and I will have a good fight to prove my breakthrough. When the time comes, if you want to do such bad things, I will help you!"

Zhu Youwen swore and patted his chest and promised that he would continue to challenge the strong anyway and he would not suffer any loss!
