Ma Xiaoke put his left hand on the ground and climbed up with all his strength. When the two soldiers on the side saw this, they immediately helped Ma Xiaoke.
"King, let's go quickly." A flag leader supported Ma Xiaoke and backed away.
"Quickly, hold Xiujie back." Another flag leader shouted.
Xiu Jie was running towards him, but was blocked by several Ma Xiaoke troops who were rushing towards him.
Xiu Jie just killed those few soldiers and surrounded them. More and more Ma Xiaoke's troops rushed towards them.
Xiu Jie killed several waves, and there were still so many. He was so angry that he directly danced the huge blood sword in the air and continuously danced hurricanes, overturning Ma Xiaoke's army one by one.
After killing the soldiers who had gathered around him, Xiujie raised his eyes and looked at the direction Ma Xiaoke had left, but he had already disappeared.
"You're lucky to live a few more days." Xiu Jie slowly walked towards Ma Xiaoke's army nearby. Wherever the giant fierce blood blade touched, corpses lay on the ground.
Ma Xiaoke retreated to Lu'an City and found that the flag on the city had been replaced by the flag of Roy Kingdom.
"Hahaha, Ma Xiaoke, I, Li Qun'ao, have occupied your city. Surrender quickly. I will definitely put in a good word for our king and spare your life."
"hateful."
Ma Xiaoke clenched his fists and was about to attack the city. Fang Yue rushed over with part of his army from behind and stopped beside Ma Xiaoke.
"King, Xiujie's army is coming."
Ma Xiaoke seemed not to have heard Fang Yue's words, and just said to himself: "It's time to join forces and capture Lu'an City."
Now when attacking Lu'an City, not to mention how many troops there are in the city, even Xiujie behind him can wipe him out in minutes.
Fang Yue said anxiously: "King, Xiujie is chasing us. We don't have time to attack Lu'an City."
Ma Xiaoke was unwilling to give in and wanted to attack the city immediately. However, he was seriously injured and could not raise his fighting power, so he could only look at the city tower reluctantly.
"Report, King, the cavalry commander has been defeated and is retreating to the royal city." A soldier reported.
Ma Zhou was also defeated. This battle could be said to be a complete defeat. If he retreated to Aiqian City, it would probably be difficult to resist Xiu Jie's army.
Seeing Ma Xiaoke standing outside Lu'an City for a long time and unwilling to leave, Fang Yue said anxiously: "King, retreat to the royal city first, and then we will think of a way. After all, there are resources and troops in the royal city, and we can still mobilize them, but Let’s fight Xiujie again.”
How is it possible to fight again? In a short period of time, it is impossible to mobilize an army that can fight Xiu Jie. What's more, most of the cities in the west are occupied by Xiu Jie, and the city of Essie Kingdom has been reduced by almost half.
"Xiujie's army is coming."
Ma Xiaoke's army panicked, and Li Qun'ao led the army to open the city gate and kill them.
Fang Yue said anxiously: "King, our rear army has already fought with Xiu Jie, and Li Qun'ao is fighting out inside. If we don't retreat, it will be too late."
Ma Xiaoke closed his eyes helplessly and said reluctantly: "Withdraw."
After hearing Ma Xiaoke's order, Fang Yue immediately shouted to the two flag commanders beside him: "You two, with your troops, sandwich Li Qun'ao's army on the left and right. You must defend to the death to withstand Li Qun'ao's army." , you can only withdraw after the army bypasses Lu'an City."
When the army bypassed Lu'an City, Xiujie's army was everywhere, making it impossible to retreat.
"Yes." The two flag commanders immediately led their troops and charged towards Li Qun'ao who rushed out.
"King, come on."
Fang Yue supported Ma Xiaoke and led the army around Lu'an City and towards Aixian City.
When Luo Feng heard about Ma Xiaoke's defeat in Cassi City, he had already retreated to Aiqi City and was anxious to find Zhang Xuli and others for discussion.
"Yuxuan and Murong have already gone south. Now Ma Xiaoke is defeated again. Aiqian City will definitely not survive for a month. It's time for us to set off."
"Wait a minute, King." Zhang Xuli said in shock: "According to the King, we are going to kill Chen Zishu within a month?"
"This is the strategy set by Yuxuan, and I feel it is the only feasible strategy." Luo Feng said unhurriedly.
"King." Zhang Xuli looked like he was on the verge of tears: "Why do we have to add so many additional conditions every time we win a battle?"
"Because we are weaker than Xiujie." Zhang Xinyi replied.
Zhang Xuli looked at Zhang Xinyi curiously: "Hey, how did you know?"
"Jiang Tingguan already said it last time." Zhang Xinyi said impatiently.
"King, cough, cough, cough." Prime Minister Tuoba covered his mouth with his hand, coughed a few times, and said with a pale face: "The resources in the city are only enough for one legion for one month, but the autumn harvest is coming soon, and the king wants to How many troops will you bring to the expedition?"
Luo Feng said: "This time we fight Chen Zishu, the beginning of the battle is the decisive battle. The more troops, the better."
Zhang Xuli said: "The total number of troops that our king can mobilize does not exceed three legions. Now two legions have arrived in Kaxi City, and the remaining armies are on their way."
"Then we will go out in two groups." Luo Feng said: "The first group, two legions, Zhang Shunxiao will lead two armies as the north route vanguard, Ding Xu will lead one army as the south route vanguard, and I will lead one legion as the middle route. After the autumn harvest, Xu Li will lead another legion and send people to deliver resources to us."
"This work seems a bit tiring." Zhang Xuli looked like he was tired.
"Then I'll do it." Feng Ziying said immediately.
"The king kisses you. You can come wherever you come. Step aside and watch me destroy Uncle Chen Zi."
Feng Ziying said unconvinced: "You are the one who says you are tired, and you are the one who doesn't want others to do it."
"For the kingdom, I will bow my essence." Zhang Xuli laughed hahaha.
"Listening to this laughter, it feels so fake." Zhang Xinyi said.
"Sincerely." Zhang Xuli cried.
"Leave the south to Yuxuan, and leave the north to us. Let's set off and decide the outcome in a battle." Luo Feng looked solemn and spoke majestically, walking out of the hall amidst the cheers of everyone.
Jiang Yuxuan and Murong Yi went all the way south to Aimer City. To the south was the territory of Ma Xiaoke of Aiqi Kingdom.
In the southern border, Sima Hongyi was inspecting the military camp. When he heard that Jiang Yuxuan had arrived, he immediately left the camp.
"Jiang Tingguan, Commander Murong." Sima Hong said as soon as he saw Jiang Yuxuan and Murong Yi, whose official positions were higher than his own, he saluted.
"Yes." Jiang Yuxuan responded, looking around the military camp and saying, "The southern border defense line has been well laid out along the way."
"Xie Jiang Tingguan is sure that the defenses were deployed according to Jiang Tingguan's request." Sima Hongyi said.
"Prepare a battalion of troops to defend the border of Aimer City in the Kingdom of Essie. Commander Murong and I are going to enter the Kingdom of Essie."
"With just two people, wouldn't it be too dangerous?" Sima Hongyi said.
"What do you think?" Murong Yi said.
"Hahaha." Sima Hong said with a smile: "With Commander Murong here, of course there will be no problem, but after all, the Aiqi Kingdom is not our place."
