After receiving the news, Sun Xiurong rushed over. Of course, the ten short-barrel cannons that were pulled by Xi's car.

It is naturally not a big problem to defeat the enemy in front of him or the enemy of the infantry, but what he needs to consider next is what he needs to consider.

In fact, when he wiped out all the cavalry of Wu Chengyan, the dawn of victory waved to him. If Wu Chengen was in control of the city, he would have no choice but to fight in the wild, but if he had absolutely confidence to annihilate it again.

But what's next?

If we annihilate the infantry commanded by Wu Chengen in front of us and then capture Wu Chengen, there will be no problem in taking down the entire Guizhou.

Since Guizhou has inner and outer walls, there will be two choices at that time.

First, occupy Guizhou and rely on the inner side wall to defend.

Secondly, all Dingkou in Guizhou was moved to the grassland, just like what Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Deguang and his son did in later generations.

Although the Khitan tribe is also known as "good in smelting iron", it is also a thousand miles away from the Han craftsmen compared with other tribes. It is because the father and son continuously captured Han farmers and craftsmen from Datong, Guizhou, Youzhou and Tanzhou (millions of people in the past few decades) which was the key to the rise of the Khitan. After taking down Yingzhou (later Chaoyang City), the important town that was originally guarding Liaodong in the Tang Dynasty, it became out of control.

The capture of the Tang Dynasty was retribution at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was unexpected.

Both strategies are possible, and Sun Xiurong has an excellent opportunity right now.

Because Wanyan Chengde, the general of the Bohai Kingdom, led 30,000 elite troops to the border of the Anton Protectorate, attracted An Lushan's main force, this made it impossible for the Tang army, who was the best at fighting in the field in the northern part of Hebei Road, to be transferred to Guizhou.

In the west, the Datong Army mainly dealt with Xi Nuji's troops, and they could not be dispatched easily. The Fanyang Jiedushi's military power among the troops in the border town of Datang, with nearly 100,000 people. Among them, Jixian (where Youzhou Prefecture City is located) has 30,000 people, Guizhou 10,000, Tanzhou 10,000, and Jizhou 10,000, and the rest are in the mainland.

Because the former Fan Yang Jiedushi Pei Kuan, who served several positions, was promoted to the central government, the Jiedushi was vacant. Not only that, the deputy envoy, the military envoy was vacant. Originally, Pei Kuan recommended the Pei family's son-in-law Yu Wenjing as the military envoy, but due to Sun Xiurong's involvement, even the military envoy was gone.

However, in addition to Tanzhou, Guizhou, and Fanyang Jiedushi still approached the border. The military envoy was a descendant of aristocratic family named Tian Chengsi. The Tang Dynasty had transferred him to Fanyang and asked him to temporarily take over the position of military envoy.

In this case, Tian Chengsi was completely incapable of being able to send troops to rescue after the situation in Guizhou was critical. He must report to the governor of Youzhou and Hebei Road Observer at this time. However, the current governor of Youzhou and Hebei Road Observer was appointed by Shou King Li Mao. According to the regulations, Tian Chengsi must report to Li Mao first.

After this trip, even if it takes 800 miles to speed up, it has been time to change when Li Mao’s disposal opinions (mostly he will report to the emperor, the left and right servants and the Ministry of War) arrive.

But Tian Chengsi had to deal with this, because there were still 30,000 troops in Jixian, with at least six generals above (Tang system, 5,000 people had orthodox generals, and slanted generals). They would not listen to the orders of a "Power-Knowing Army Envoy".

So, Sun Xiurong's opportunity came.

If all 30,000 households in Guizhou were moved away, he had time. If he relied on the inner wall to defend, he also had time to take down the army, town, and fort (the Fanyang Jiedushi within the inner wall directly under the inner wall) one by one, and then rely on these army, town, and fort guarding.

In the end, he gave up his second strategy.

The Tang Dynasty is still very powerful at present, especially the headquarters of Youzhou has 30,000 elite troops and 10,000 cavalry inside. If Tian Chengsi risked being impeached by various people, he forced the army of 30,000 northwards, he would have no chance to defend Guizhou at all!

When he thought of this, he immediately issued a turtle formation to Bai Xiaode, which was defeated in front of him. The Jiedushi Fan Yang could take office at any time. He must take down Wu Chengen as soon as possible, otherwise an accident would occur.

Bai Xiaode and a thousand cavalry appeared about 150 feet west of the turtle formation. Here, they had entered the shooting range of the three-stone powerful crossbow, but the best shooting range was still 100 feet (300 meters). After reaching 150 feet, they were definitely at the end of the powerful crossbow. I believe the Tang army would not do this.

However, the flat firing range of the newly launched short-barrel cannon of the Sabre Ye Jun is one mile away, and it is even more powerful within a range of 150 meters!

Since the turtle formation stuck to the post road, the Shattered Ye Army could only continue to attack the infantry led by Wu Chengen behind him, so Bai Xiaode had no other choice.

When Bai Xiaode's thousand cavalry stopped here, Wu Chengen had already set up a high observation deck on the post road behind the turtle formation. He could see the situation ahead clearly. He saw Bai Xiaode's cavalry, but as soon as he saw the cavalry, he concluded that it was the Shattered Ye Army led by Sun Xiurong, not the cavalry of tribes.

Because the formation of the cavalry was not something that tribal cavalry could achieve, only the Tang army, which had been trained together for a long time, looked like this.

His eyes became even more serious, and behind Bai Xiaode, Sun Xiurong also asked the Tooth Band to erect a lookout, and he also saw the lookout behind the turtle formation and the cavalry near the lookout.

"Most of the cavalry of the Qingyi Army were taken away by Wu Cheng's army, and the cavalry here was naturally Wu Cheng'en's personal soldiers. According to the information provided by the prisoners, it was Wu Cheng'en's most elite 300 silver-sand Khitanzhi. Once our army broke the turtle formation, Wu Cheng'en would definitely escape. Once Wu Cheng'en ran to Guizhou City to hold the city, it would be troublesome..."

We must go around to the back of Wu Chengen!

From the Guangbian Army along the post road to reach the Yanghe River Valley, there is a small army fort called Kangjia Fort, which is later Zhaochuan Town. It was naturally captured by the Suoye Army. After departure from the Guangbian Army, there were two roads. One went straight to the upper reaches of the Yanghe River to Shannan Quechang, and the other went south to the Xiahuayuan District of the Later generations. From there, you can go around to Wu Chengen along the north bank of the Yanghe River.

However, if you take a detour, you have to walk more than 100 miles. For the Shattered Ye Army, it is not a problem to travel 200 miles a day and a night. However, when you head south from Kangjia Fort, you will definitely encounter other fortresses of the Tang Army. This road is not familiar with the Shattered Ye Army. If the Tang Army Fortress is blocked and the must-pass place will be futile.

He looked around at the mountains on the north bank of the Yanghe River, which were all gentle hillsides at an altitude of three or four hundred meters. At present, he could only send an army dominated by infantry to pass through these mountains and go around behind Wu Chengen.

He called Naren Xiaofeng.

Since the establishment of Rao Le Army, Shiwei Army and Chile Army, his generals have also been drawn out. Among them, Ma Lin went to Rao Le Army, Suha went to Shiwei Army, and Nangongxun went to Chile Army. Now only Naren Xiaofeng and Geng Si are left in the Ye Army.

"You bring three hundred infantrymen, the three hundred crossbow soldiers around the enemy, and look for them in the captive team behind them to see if there are anyone familiar with the nearby terrain. Don't ride a horse. Go around the enemy at a fast marching speed. After arriving at the nearby mountains, rest first, and then let one hundred Mo Dao soldiers break out, two hundred tiger spearmen support, and three hundred crossbow soldiers support them at a long-range support to block the enemy's possible route of escape!"

When time came, because there were too many martial arts needed, Sun Xiurong did not arrange to build too many Modao. First, the steel material needed by Modao conflicted with the cannon, and second, normal spears and knives also required a large amount of iron material, so he only equipped each camp with one hundred Modao soldiers.

Naren Xiaofeng took the order and left, and later Sun Xiurong asked someone to chase him and pass on the message.

"Bring some straw bags. If the terrain is too wide, use the straw bag to fill the soil and stone to build a low wall."

It's already afternoon now, and Wu Chengen may get news of Wu Cheng's defeat at any time. If that's the case, he may run away at any time!

Finally, Sun Xiurong ordered Bai Xiaode to stop attacking the turtle formation, and he made some arrangements.

At the east end, Wu Chengen stood on the high observation deck and stopped when he saw Bai Xiaode's cavalry stop, and he was naturally very happy, but at this time he did not have the confidence to win, because he had not received any news from Wu Chengyuan.

Time passed slowly. When it came to the middle of Shen Shizhong (about 4 pm), Bai Xiaode's cavalry had already confronted the turtle formation for about half an hour!

This situation is extremely unfavorable to the cavalry, because the infantry can stand for a long time, but the cavalry cannot do it. The war horses cannot stay there for a longer period of time. Bai Xiaode could not, so he had to untire the water bags on the spot to feed the war horses and feed the beans they carried with them to the horses.

Of course, his cavalry could retreat further, but because he hid ten artillery in front of the cavalry, once he evacuated, the ten artillery pulled by the Xi chariot would be exposed, and he could only stay there honestly.

Half an hour later, Sun Xiurong's arrangement began to work.

From Wu Chengen's side, a large group of smoke appeared behind Sun Xiurong, and then a team of cavalry appeared. The cavalry were wearing the armor and clothes of the Tang cavalry, and holding the flag of Wu Chengyan!

Wu Cheng'en was the envoy of the Qing Yi Army, so he naturally had a huge flag. The appearance of this flag finally made Wu Chengen breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, Sun Xiurong's observation deck disappeared, and his cavalry and the "rushing over" Tang cavalry "come together". Naturally, they couldn't see clearly from Wu Chengen. It was just a rolling smoke and dust, and shouting to kill the sky.

But Bai Xiaode's cavalry still did not move. He did not move, so Wu Chengen naturally would not move. He was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the moment when Wu Chengyan defeated the Shattered Ye Army and defeated Bai Xiaode's rear formation!

In his mind, although the Thunder Ye Army was able to rush here for a long distance, the military force that followed him would definitely not be too much. If there were too many, his whereabouts would not have been reported to Guizhou City at all.

So Wu Chengen stood on the lookout platform and watched the vague "fight" on the opposite side until the sun was about to set, the fight was finally over.

But at this time Bai Xiaode also launched.

After seeing Naren Xiaofeng reaching the predetermined location, he sent a message from the nearby mountains after sending a quick-footed soldier back to the nearby mountains.

A flag hidden in the mountains. As soon as the flag appeared, Bai Xiaode immediately launched it!
