I really don't want to lose the country

"Report! General, our army was surrounded by the soldiers of Dazhou. Dazhou used a lot of tung oil and fierce fire oil, and a large number of our troops were burned..."

"Report! General, our army's offensive is weak, and it is now completely defeated..."

"Report! General, our army's night attack failed!"

It was good news at the beginning, but bad news came one after another.

Hearing that at the end Xiang Yan spit out blood directly and passed out.

Wait for it to wake up.

At this time, it was almost dawn in the early morning.

The first thing Xiang Yan said when she woke up was: "How many people were killed or injured last night?"

The confidant replied: "General, [-] of our troops died last night and [-] were injured!"

Thirty thousand!

plus daytime.

One day and one night, [-] combat power were lost.

"Be prepared to withdraw from Xiangyang, stabilize the army, don't panic, don't give Da Zhou a chance!"

"It's the general!"

According to the order, the generals went down to prepare for the southward withdrawal.

The closest to Xiangyang is Zhonglu, but this city cannot be defended.

Therefore, the generals of Chuyue State sent troops to Ji State, Yicheng, and Nuo State.The last is the first line of defense of the navy, Lan Jukou. "

"Dawn! Start cooking!"

The smoke outside the city is full of fir.

Soon the aroma of the food filled the city and beyond.

Today's breakfast is extraordinarily rich.

One is to celebrate yesterday's big victory.

The second is to celebrate in advance the capture of Xiangyang City today.

Eat and drink well.

Di Qing ordered to start pushing south.

Xiang Yan knew that it was impossible to defend, but he still put [-] troops in the city, as if scattered in the city.

Trying to delay the advance of the Great Zhou Suzaku army, so as to usher in time for the army to withdraw all over the south.

Or fight for a chance to turn defeat into victory.

However, Dazhou has a bird, aerial reconnaissance, and can clearly see the situation of Xiang Yanren.

Di Qing gave the order decisively and charged forward.

One hour before dark, they captured the entire Xiangyang City and wiped out all the remnants of the Chuyue Kingdom in the city.

"Commander, the organ bird has reported that Chuyue's [-] troops have withdrawn to the south early in the morning."

"Xiang Yan is slowly withdrawing southward with other tens of thousands of troops, and all of them are lightly or seriously wounded."

Di Qing said: "Bring the Hanshui sand table!"

Going south from Xiangyang is generally going south along the Han River.

There are a large number of Chuyue Kingdom cities on the east and west banks of the Han River.

Estimate the distance.

Di Qing said: "Send all our cavalry out, bite them up, leave some of the ambush points to wipe them out, no matter what method we use, we can't let Xiang Yan retreat south easily.

He will not be able to enter the country until nightfall tomorrow, and we have two nights to attack him. "

One of the generals under his command said: "Commander, it's getting dark now, we cavalry chase down, I'm afraid we will easily be ambushed by Xiang Yan.

Why don't you catch up tomorrow morning! "

Di Qing shook his head and said:

"Who said we were going to chase along the Han River? Xiang Yan definitely didn't send troops to Zhonglu. Then our cavalry will attack here, then go south from the west bank to attack Yicheng, go to Xiang Yan's front, and circle around it from the middle and lower reaches. Back way!"

"General, we don't have any cavalry, how can we pursue Xiang Yan?" The generals were puzzled again.

Di Qing smiled and said: "Just use our pawns to chase after him, Xiang Yan can't escape!"

Using infantry to chase infantry, people can walk sixty or seventy miles a night in advance, how can we chase them?

Naturally, Di Qing would not tell the generals that Emperor Ye Qing had already prepared for it.

The troops to strike at Xiang Yan's death were dispatched long before the siege of the city.

Di Qing believed in Ye Qing's arrangement.

From time to time, a special force appeared in Ye Qing's hand.

Who knows what kind of strong army it will be.

At that time, even if Xiang Yan cannot be severely injured, he believes that he can still hold Xiang Yan.

So he just needs to be steady.

Xiangyang City had just been captured, and the entire North City was destroyed.

Half of Nancheng was also destroyed.

Building the city and constructing the defense of Xiangyang is the most troublesome thing.

Once Xiangyang was broken, Jinghong's Nanyang defense line also lost a support.

Ye Qing decisively sent Zhao Yun to attack Caiyang City in Nanyang, and then attacked Tongling, Suixian, and Jinghong's left rear flank.

He also ordered Zhang Yun and other troops in Wancheng to advance eastward.
