The abnormality in Xuancheng makes it easy to associate it with Long Tian. After all, this is their top priority at the moment.

If something big hadn't happened, it would have been impossible for a mere 50,000 people to accomplish anything.

"Quick, support the city gate, and don't let them run away."

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gou Xuntian didn't dare to neglect it. If it was true, it would be a great achievement to capture Long Tian.

Losing some food and grass is nothing compared to Long Tian.

The garrison in Xuancheng began to mobilize and headed for the city gate to support. Gou Xuntian personally led people to rush there first.

The speed of the army's movement could not be carried out quickly, and Gou Xuntian had no choice.

Even though he knew that there were many masters around Long Tian, ​​Gou Xuntian had to go. If Long Tian ran away from him, his position as a general would definitely be over.

Unfortunately, Gou Xuntian was still a step late.

When Gou Xuntian arrived at the city gate, there was only a pile of dead bodies here, and there was no trace of the Han army.

This is no wonder. With so many masters around Long Tian, ​​how could a mere garrison resist them?

"General, Long Tian must be among them. Look, the injuries of these soldiers were caused by the strange weapons of the guards under Long Tian's command."

Bullet holes are very different from the damage caused by traditional weapons.

The Liyang Dynasty has never stopped studying Long Tian, ​​so it naturally knows the power of Yanyun Qilongteng.

This injury is very obvious, so it can be concluded that Long Tian must have followed the Li Han army out of the city.

"Come here, report the news here to Prince Xueling immediately."

"Prepare a cavalry for this general. This general will go out of the city to chase first. The rest of the people will immediately organize the troops and send 500,000 troops to support."

Without caring about other things, Gou Xuntian made a quick decision and had to chase.

Soon, a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, led by Gou Xuntian, left the city, and the subsequent army also left Xuancheng one after another.

Outside the city, the Li Han army was on the road quickly.

"Your Majesty, the Xuancheng defenders have chased us out."

The fire behind was rising to the sky, and the fire in the Xuancheng warehouse was getting more and more intense, but it was obvious that the defenders could not take care of it, as they had already discovered Long Tian's trace.

"It's good that you came. We don't want Xuancheng, but since these people have left Xuancheng, let them all stay."

Wu Qi had arranged everything, so Long Tian didn't need to worry about it.

Just as Gou Xuntian and his army saw the shadow of the Li Han army, two groups of cavalry suddenly rushed out from both sides.

Under the cover of darkness, Gou Xuntian was eager to chase Long Tian and didn't find the ambush at all.

This was troublesome. Gou Xuntian only had tens of thousands of troops, and the ambush troops were more than 200,000, so he was no match at all.

After a round of fighting, Gou Xuntian knew that if he didn't withdraw his troops, he would definitely have to stay.

So, Gou Xuntian no longer hesitated and immediately led his troops to retreat.

The army under Wu Qi didn't care so much. Since the enemy had escaped, they would beat the fallen dog and chased them relentlessly.

Until they met the army in Xuancheng, the army sent by Wu Qi did not retreat immediately, but launched a fearless charge.

The defenders of Xuancheng were indeed many, but they left the city in a hurry and did not bring many means to deal with cavalry. If they encountered cavalry on the way, how could the end be too good.

Seizing such an opportunity, the Zhenbei Army quickly strangled them.

Gou Xuntian was helpless in this scene.

Gou Xuntian was very clear about the combat effectiveness of the Zhenbei Army, and the two sides had occasionally fought during this period.

Now that his side was in a passive position, he must not continue to fight like this, otherwise the whole army might be annihilated.

Fighting and retreating while asking for help at the same time was the only thing Gou Xuntian could do.

On the other side, Xue Ling had already received the news.

"You are so good, Long Tian, ​​you actually used such a trick."

Xue Ling saw the problem at a glance. The princes of Liyang would never dare to betray, which would not only be courting death, but it was also obvious that there was something wrong with this Li Han army itself.

Bribery and placement are not new tactics in war.

Long Tian wanted to use this opportunity to leave the Liyang Dynasty and completely escape the siege of the Liyang Dynasty army.

"Come here, order the cavalry to leave the city and follow me to chase and kill Long Tian."

The incident happened suddenly, and other arms could not play a role. Only the cavalry had a chance to chase and kill.

Xue Ling led hundreds of thousands of cavalry out of the city. At this time, he could only hope that Gou Xuntian would entangle Long Tian, ​​otherwise it would be too late when he arrived.

On the way, Xue Ling received bad news. Wu Qi was well prepared and the army went out of the city to meet him. Long Tian had successfully left the Liyang Dynasty.

Not only that, Gou Xuntian was ambushed in his hasty pursuit. Now hundreds of thousands of troops were almost scattered. Please support Xue Ling.

"Waste."

Xue Ling was furious, but helpless.

Long Tian had already run away. It was meaningless to chase him at this moment. It would be a waste to attack the city with the few troops he brought.

Besides, Xuancheng cannot have any problems. If some food and grass are lost, they can be replenished.The Chao family is big and powerful, and they can afford the loss, but if Xuancheng is lost, it will be troublesome.

Helplessly, Xue Ling can only lead troops to support Gou Xuntian. As for Long Tian, ​​we can only talk about it later.

Here, Gou Xuntian can no longer hold on. The army was broken up and fought on their own, and they were no match for the enemy.

Suddenly, Gou Xuntian found something wrong. The Zhenbei Army actually began to retreat in an orderly manner, which made Gou Xuntian relieved.

Soon, the war horses roared in the distance. Gou Xuntian looked at the direction and knew that reinforcements had arrived. No wonder the Zhenbei Army retreated.

Soon, Xue Ling came closer.

"I pay my respects to the prince. I failed in my duty and let Long Tian run away."

Gou Xuntian was helpless. If Long Tian ran away, he would not be sure of his fate.

"Forget it, I have already understood it. The responsibility is not yours."

"I will report to His Majesty. The betrayer will not have a good end."

Although Xue Ling was very angry, he thought about it and decided not to hold Gou Xuntian responsible.

In this incident, Gou Xuntian's responsibility is not big, and he is still trying to make up for it. It is a bit unreasonable to deal with him too much.

More importantly, Gou Xuntian is the commander of a city and a first-class general in the court. He is still very important to the military of the Liyang Dynasty.

Gou Xuntian is also Xue Ling's right-hand man and a firm supporter. Xue Ling also has to consider these.

Only Li Hanjun can take the blame, and the entire fiefdom will be completely eradicated.

"Go back. Your Majesty will consider Long Tian's affairs. Our mission is to guard the border."

"The lost food and grass will be transferred from the rear, and the soldiers in the city will be strictly inspected. Similar situations must not happen again."

At this moment, Xue Ling has no other way except to make up for the loss.

The army of the Liyang Dynasty is similar to that of the original Xia Kingdom. In addition to the main battle corps controlled by the court, local cities and princes will also obey orders to support.

This is not only a way of balance, but also consumes the power of all parties. It is also the disadvantage of insufficient military force of the court.

These things are beyond the ability of Xue Ling to solve, and he will not worry about them. Guarding the border is the top priority.
