"Report to the lieutenant, someone ran out of the city while the chaos!" Zhang Huaiwei immediately realized something was wrong when he heard the news. Now there are only more than 1,800 people left in Shenchi City. If Liu Wuzhou knew about Shenchi's loss, Liu Wuzhou would attack Yu Guni before Yu Guni, and then attack Shenchi fiercely. Chen Ying's two strange soldiers would probably be defeated.

This is actually caused by Zhang Huaiwei's lack of experience. When he was in Lingzhou, the captives were all Turkic people, which was very different from the Tang people. It was also easy to identify. However, in the army of Liu Wuzhou in Shenchi County, the people and the army were not carefully identified, so it was easy to get over. A Tianxing Army School hidden in the cellar escaped from Shenchi City while Zhang Huaiwei relaxed his vigilance.

Who would have thought that this school was too thief and actually took advantage of the fact that Ningyuan Army soldiers were not paying attention to rob a horse. However, it was too late when Zhang Huaiwei set the Rangers of the Far Army to pursue it. Shenchi County was only more than a hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass. Dingyuan Army was unfamiliar with the place, so he was surrounded by this Tianxing Army small school and lost his target.

Liu Wuzhou, who was in Yanmen Pass, heard the news that night. However, with the messenger, there was also a team of cyclists. In fact, this cyclist was just sent by Zhang Huaiwei to capture the school.

Seeing the Tang cavalry appearing south of Yanmen, Liu Wuzhou's whole person became bad in an instant.

The geographical location of Shenchi was not originally important to Liu Wuzhou. Because he had Yanmen Pass to resist the attack of the Tang army. However, Shenchi was really important to the Tang army. Shenchi was located west of Yanmen Pass and the key area between Yanmen Pass and Xinzhou. You can attack Yanmen Pass in the east, and go to Xinzhou in the south, and then take Taiyuan City. At the same time, you can also attack Loufan Pass on the side.

However, when the Tang army appeared in Shenchi County, the guards of Yanmen Pass lost their meaning. The originally impeccable defense system became full of loopholes. What's more, the focus of Yanmen Pass's defense is in the north, and attacking Yanmen Pass from the south will result in twice the result with half the effort. This is actually not important. The most important thing is that Shenchi can cut off the supply line of Yanmen Pass. If Liu Wuzhou's command did not have Taiyuan's supply, at most one and a half months would have no food to eat.

Without food, the Tianxing Army will collapse without fighting.

Looking at the panic that appeared in Liu Wuzhou's eyes, Fan Junzhang stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, the loss of the Shenchi Lake is nothing more than two possible options: small groups of troops are interspersed from the Linhu Mountains, or they are forced to cross the Yellow River in the direction of Wuzhai. No matter which direction comes, the number of Tang troops will not be large. Please fight and take back the Shenchi Lake!"

As a Shuozhou native, Liu Wuzhou is very familiar with Shenchi or Linhu. Although Linhu does not have the steep mountains and ridges that are as steep as the Motian Ridge, the mountains and forests of Linhu are not suitable for large army to walk. If it comes from Linhu, this Tang army unit will definitely have more than a thousand people, otherwise there will be no guarantee of the supply of more than a thousand people.

Similarly, if you force cross the Yellow River from Wuzhai direction, it will be even more ridiculous. The Yellow River has an altitude drop of nearly 600 meters from Shuozhou to Haozhou. The river is breathing rapidly. Not only is it easy to overturn across the river, but it is also difficult to gather. With the speed of the Yellow River in the Wuzhai direction, if you cross the river, even if you guarantee that it will not overturn, the boats will flow downward by at least three or five thousand steps in the process of crossing the river. In this way, the boats will have a drop of more than ten miles when they go back and forth. If the Tang army really crossed the river on such a large scale, Liu Wuzhou would have been worried.

Liu Wuzhou thought for a while and said, "Junzhang, I'll ask you to the Shenchi. If the Shenchi cannot be taken back, then the big thing will be gone and everything will be over."

"Don't worry, Junzhang will never let down the king!"

Fan Junzhang led the two battalions of the Tianxing Left Army to kill the Shenchi.

...

Under the same sky, in Weize Pass, the Women's Detachment had been out of food for three days, and there was no grain in the rice. If it were ordinary troops, they would have reached such a level, they might have mutiny. However, Li Xiuning had a high prestige in the army. Even though the soldiers of the entire army knew that there was no food to eat, they still believed that Li Xiuning would think of a solution. Xunxiang and Yuchi Gong surrounded Weize Pass and were unable to penetrate the wind and rain. Seeing that the food was exhausted, Li Xiuning reluctantly selected the three thousand troops that had still had a battle, not only did not break out, but Li Xiuning himself also suffered a considerable minor injury.

In Weize Pass, the injured wounded were placed randomly on the ground, moaning and crying everywhere. Li Xiuning had no choice but to have too many wounded soldiers and all the medicines were exhausted. All treatments could only be simply bandaged and used sutures to stop the blood. As for whether they could survive, it all depends on their own luck.

The big pot was built up in one mouthful, and the hot water boiled. The old and weak civilians threw the bandages into the pot and cooked. Not only was there a shortage of food and medicine in Weizeguan, but there was even the most basic bandages. Many bandages were removed from the bodies that died of serious injuries. At this time, they did not consider whether these bandages could still be used.

In just three months, Chen Huairen used countless soldiers and soldiers of the Detachment of Women to train skilled surgical techniques. A big hole more than one foot long was cut out on his chest, revealing white bone stubble. Chen Huairen calmly, clamped the needle with tweezers and sewed the wounded soldier's wound from the inside to the outside.

Chen Huairen said in a hoarse voice: "Next!"

Li Chuqi whispered: "Master, please take a break. You haven't closed your eyes all day and night!"

"You can't rest, you can't rest!" Chen Huairen pointed at the wounded on the ground, revealing a painful and entangled look, "I want to take a rest, but what should they do? We don't have medicine now, and it may be a moment later, and it may be a waste of life!"

Li Chuqi said: "I and Yuanqiao are standing on it!"

"You, you almost!" Chen Huairen walked to another wounded soldier whose arm had been cut off and began the next operation.

Chen Huairen said without looking back: "If you are really filial and let your master rest, then study hard and get married quickly."

Li Chuqi nodded heavily with his eyes in his mouth.

In the simple central army tent, Li Xiuning sat in the center, holding his lower abdomen with one hand and frowned. Her face was very bad at this time. Yuchi Gong's horse spear was too fast, and under the spear, Li Xiuning was almost pierced. If a personal guard had not pounced on Yuchi Gong desperately, Yuchi Gong had to stop and return the help, I'm afraid Li Xiuning would have died on the spot.

The generals of the Detachment of Women in the tent were arguing fiercely.

Qiu Shili shouted loudly and said, "I'm not sorry for death, but Your Highness the Princess is precious for being a golden branch and a jade leaf... Although Liu Wuzhou is an unscrupulous person, I will definitely not have a good end when I surrender to him, but Your Highness the Princess will definitely be treated well. As long as Your Highness the Princess is safe, He Xiu will die."

Qiu Shili was the former general of He Panren. After He Panren defected to Li Xiuning, he gradually made military achievements and promoted to general of the gate guard. In fact, the army of the Women's Army was not officially organized by the court, but people were accustomed to calling Li Xiuning's old subordinates collectively. For example, Li Zhongwen was the Shaoqing of Taichang and the general of Bingzhou. Bai Shansi was the General of Right Marquis of Wu, Xiang Shanzhi was the General of Right Imperial Guard, and Ma Sanbao was the General of Left Guard.

Bai Shansi said: "This is all your wishful thinking, and Liu Wuzhou is unreliable."

Qiu Shili said: "Now I can only bet... I will not lose my mind by betting on Liu Wuzhou."
