Chapter 152 Urgent Report

"Report! Urgent report from Yuzhou!"

The tent door was suddenly opened, and a soldier came in and threw him down: "Report to King Chuang, there is an emergency in Yuzhou, General Yuan is asking for help!"

Li Zicheng was shocked and shouted: "What's going on in Yuzhou? Come quickly!"

The soldiers braced themselves up and swallowed: "Go back to King Chuang, take charge of the plate... General Yuan received the order from King Chuang and drove tens of thousands of followers to the south of the city. He also ordered the soldiers to come in and out and made noise as a cover, and secretly sent 10,000 elite soldiers to lie in wait. Go to the dangerous place on the way to Jiaxian from Xiangcheng to be prepared for the enemy in Xiangcheng to send troops to Jiaxian."

He took a breath and continued: "Unexpectedly, the Ming thieves in Jiaxian County attacked Yuzhou first with a force of troops and horses. They were unable to serve as subordinates and were defeated by the Ming thieves. The Ming thieves arrived at the city and fired artillery at the city wall, causing General Yuan to be seriously injured. The ambush army was also defeated, and most of them returned with the loss of more than half. The Ming thieves in Xiangcheng then came out in full force, with over 10,000 strong troops. General Yuan was seriously injured and fought with them. He was defeated and had to defend the city. So he sent a villain to invite him. Reinforcement! King Chuang, Yuzhou is about to fall, please King Chuang quickly send troops to rescue the leader!"

When all the thieves in the room heard this, their expressions changed and they couldn't help themselves.

Li Chuang was so frightened and angry that he couldn't help but draw his sword and slash, slashing the desk in two, and shouted angrily: "Did Yuan Zongdi, this bitch, grow up eating shit?! Our boss gave him more than ten Thousands of people, so unbeatable?!"

Li Chuang's anger was not without reason. Yuan Zongdi's garrison in Yuzhou was of strategic significance. Holding back the enemy troops in Xiangcheng is one, and then cooperating with a pincer attack is another.

Now that Yuan Zongdi was defeated, all calculations were in vain. How could this not make Li Chuang angry? !

"The Ming thief in Xiangcheng is so vicious! Even the 100,000 Yuan Zong can't stop him!" Li Chuang hurried back and forth and said after a moment: "What should we, the boss, do now?!"

When Niu Jinxing saw Li Chuang's gaze, he had to stand up and bow: "General Yuan's defeat is really beyond the student's expectation. Now the enemy in Xiangcheng has become too strong to lose. With General Yuan's defeat, the strategy of flanking attack is no longer possible." Take it. But now there are only two ways."

"Come quickly!" Li Chuang said quickly.

Niu Jinxing organized his words, paused, and said: "The first plan is to immediately break camp and join General Yuan to fight to the death with the enemy in Xiangcheng."

He looked at Li Chuang: "If you win, everything will be fine. If you lose, then..."

After hearing this, Li Chuang thought for a while and waved his hand irritably: "What about the second strategy?"

Niu Jinxing took a breath and said: "If we don't defeat the enemy in Xiangcheng, we have no choice but to go south. The powerful enemy is entrenched in the Central Plains and cannot be attacked. We have to change our strategy and plot Huguang or even Jiangnan!"

Niu Jinxing never thought about Yuan Zongdi's defeat. It's just that there are more than 100,000 people in Yuan Zong, guarding a city, how can they delay it for some time.

However, Niu Jinxing was also blinded by this defeat. The established strategy he had previously adhered to had to be overturned.

"Go to Nanyang...seeking for Huguang and Jiangnan..."

After Li Chuang listened, he couldn't help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He is a thieves who is used to wandering around. When he hits the iron plate, his first thought is not to fight to the death but to run away. As for the so-called reputation before breaking Kaifeng, he has thrown it to the ends of the earth.

To put it bluntly, it is important to save one's life.

The decision was made at that moment: "Okay! Give us the order from the boss to get rid of unnecessary things, prepare troops and horses, and prepare to go south!"

As for unnecessary things, such as refugees and the like, I naturally don't care much at the moment.

Even Yuan Zongdi, he selectively forgot.

"Yes, King Chuang!"

A group of civil and military thieves responded quickly and were about to disperse. The soldier who was still kneeling in the middle was dumbfounded. Before he could speak, Li Chuang strolled down and stabbed him to death with a sword.

At this moment, a cry came from outside the tent: "Report! Urgent report!"

Li Chuang paused, his expression ashen: "Urgent report, bullshit urgent report again! Come in!"

Another soldier entered the tent and pounced on him: "King Chuang, something bad has happened!"

Li Chuang kicked him to the ground and said angrily: "Say!"

The soldier screamed with blood and was in a very embarrassed state. He was kicked over by Li Chuang. He couldn't breathe for a while. It took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "There are enemies at Luyang Pass, and the master is dead!"

After hearing this, King Chuang felt his head buzzing and he almost fell to the ground!

Zhou Jinxing, Song Xiance and some of the thieves all turned pale.

Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "How many enemy troops are there in Luyang Pass!? How did Dang Shousu die?!"

However, the soldier was speechless. When he saw it, he actually died.

The whole tent was in panic at this time, and it felt like it was being shaken by wind and rain. If there were enemies guarding Luyang Pass, and if we went to Nanyang and went to Huguang to plot a new strategy in the south of the Yangtze River, wouldn't it be aborted before it even started?

Niu Jinxing cheered up and shouted: "Come on, go and see if any defeated troops have returned!"

Then he said to Li Chuang: "King Chuang, the road is boundless. Even if Lu Yang can't walk, there is no place in the world that he can't gallop on! King Chuang, don't lose heart!"

Li Chuang's face turned pale and he said in a low voice: "Where else can we go? To Shanxi? We old bosses have been besieging Kaifeng for a long time, and we are running out of food and supplies. When we go to the white land of Shanxi, we can't even afford cold water!"

The rain was pouring outside the tent, but when Li Chuang said these words, Niu Jinxing was also speechless.

What is the situation in Shanxi and Guanzhong now? How come Niu Jinxing doesn’t know? Many years ago, Shanxi experienced successive natural disasters. Gao Yingxiang first raised the banner, and Li Chuang also came from there. After many years of wars, Guanzhong had long been reduced to nothing, without any oil or water.

As for going from Guanzhong to Sichuan, there is no need to even think about it. Without enough food and supplies, how could he travel thousands of miles to reach Sichuan?

"In the opinion of the students, it is better to ask the truth first before making any calculations." Song Xiance stood up at this time: "There are enemies guarding Luyang Pass. How many are there and what are the defenses? Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you make a decision. If there is a chance to break through Luyang Pass, you might as well go south. If you can't break it, it's not too late to do what he wants."

Li Chuang temporarily suppressed his anxiety and nodded slightly: "That makes sense."

Soon, another defeated army returned. Niu Jinxing had already sent someone to arrest the defeated soldiers for questioning.

The defeated soldier's words were confused and he asked for a long time before he learned about the situation at Luyang Pass.

After asking, Li Chuang killed the defeated soldiers who were about to collapse with a knife. He dropped the sharp knife with a clang and sighed dejectedly.

"Only one person."

Most of his energy and energy seemed to have dissipated: "One man can kill my generals and kill thousands of my soldiers. Could it be that God will kill me too?!"

The two monks stood aside in silence.

But Niu Jinxing shouted: "King Chuang!"

Li Chuang was startled and looked at him blankly.

Niu Jinxing said: "Imagine back when Chuang Wang's eighteen cavalry were running for their lives, didn't they slow down? Now Chuang Wang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, how does it compare to before?!"

Li Chuang was stunned, as if remembering the predicament of being surrounded and suppressed by Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, and almost losing his life, he was speechless for a moment.

Niu Jinxing said again: "Eighteen riders were running for their lives, and they were able to turn back the momentum, how about now?! The sacred weapon is so important, King Chuang has to go through the test even though it is his destiny. This is a test! King Chuang, listen to me! : The current situation is difficult and the only option is to fight for one's life. The people at Luyang Pass are ferocious, so don't care about them. Going west is difficult, so don't care about it. It's better to break through Kaifeng with lightning speed and take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to divert to Bozhou. Going south to Fengyang is not necessarily a way out!"
