The opening saint broke into my backyard

"The front army becomes the rear guard, and the rear guard becomes the front army. Withdraw the troops." Dong Zhou gritted his teeth and gave the order.

After Dong Zhou's order was issued, the army that had been defeated just now became much more orderly, because since the commander hadn't told them to bite the bullet and die, it meant that they had a chance to escape.They began to resist and defend desperately. Although they still couldn't change the situation of retreating, at least they wouldn't collapse for thousands of miles in a panic like just now.

On the city wall, the city lord general watched Dong Zhou's army retreat steadily, and also saw the dust rising all over the sky on the right side, knowing that reinforcements were coming.So he immediately ordered to go out of the city to fight head-on.

The soldiers who had been held in the Hulao Pass for many days were full of anger and had nowhere to vent their anger. Many of their brothers or elders died in the chaos of war these days. Now that they had such an opportunity, they rushed out immediately to the city.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and the blood flowed into a river.

Dong Zhou was trying his best to deal with Xi Mengyao's strong attack, but he didn't expect that the soldiers who had been trapped in the city for a long time also launched an attack at this time.I really know how to pick the time.

Dong Zhou commanded the soldiers to retreat in disgrace, and the orderly formation collapsed in an instant.

Seeing that the general situation was over, Dong Zhou quickly turned around and ran away, and even made an excuse in a high-sounding manner, so that the green hills remained, and he was not afraid of running out of firewood.

Zhuo Xiaofan led his people to stand on a high place, and he nodded in satisfaction when he saw Dong Zhou's army retreating steadily and the city lord attacking at just the right time.

The direction of Dong Zhou's defeat was exactly the direction he set in advance. As long as Dong Zhou and others entered the obstruction, he could order people to tighten their pockets.

This time, Dong Zhou will definitely be injured.

Zhuo Xiaofan looked at Xi Muge at the side, and saw that Xi Muge was trembling all over, this was the first time he had seen such a large-scale battle, and the bloody scene made him shudder.

Zhuo Xiaofan glanced at him contemptuously, this kid is definitely not able to support the mud on the wall, it's just a pity that Xi Mengyao's painstaking efforts were in vain.

Two hours later, someone from the pass reported that more than a hundred thousand Dong Zhou's men had been killed, and Dong Zhou led tens of thousands of people to break out.

The pass is the best time to intercept and kill Dong Zhou. Now that the best time has been lost, chasing him at this time is not the best policy.What's more, the reason why they were able to reverse the situation in the situation of a numerical disadvantage was only by launching an attack suddenly.Zhuo Xiaofan sighed, that's all, maybe Dong Zhou's life should not be cut off.

Mingjin withdraw troops!Zhuo Xiaofan gave the order.

Although Zhuo Xiaofan didn't charge into battle, he acted like a well-planned commander, directing and guiding the direction of the war.

Xi Mengyao returned to Zhuo Xiaofan's side, her face was full of joy.This battle is a decisive battle, and Dong Zhou's loss of troops this time will consume a lot of energy.After counting, there were 18 dead, wounded and surrendered soldiers on the battlefield outside Hulaoguan.A total of 13 soldiers surrendered at the pass.Even without counting the number of people fleeing, Dong Zhou lost 31 people at Hulao Pass this time.

Dong Zhou raised 80 troops this time, claiming to be a million.In Qingzhoufu and Hulaoguan, each divided 40 troops.

However, Hulaoguan suffered serious setbacks, and only more than 8 people were left to break through with him.This is the most serious setback that Dong Zhou has suffered since he came to power, almost equating to the removal of his right and left arm.

And outside the city of Qingzhou Prefecture, because of the news of the defeat here, Qingzhou Prefecture, which had been besieged for many days, also began to fight back. In a daze, he suffered a serious injury.The governor of the Qingzhou Mansion spread the news of Dong Zhou's defeat with embellishments.

Dong Zhou's army heard that Dong Zhou himself was defeated, and he had no intention of fighting. After losing tens of thousands of horses, he led his men back to the imperial capital.

There was joy in Hulao Pass, and the haze that had accumulated for many days was dispelled by the news of victory.

The army brought by Zhuo Xiaofan and others not only rescued the crisis of breaking the city, but also solved the life crisis of the people in the city.A lot of military supplies and food were seized in this battle, Zhuo Xiaofan and others took out part of the food and opened a warehouse to release the food.The people in the city have reached the point of eating bark, and with this food, the whole city has come alive.

That night, the princess arranged for someone to reward the three armies.

The Holy Emperor was arranged in the main seat, followed by the princess, and Zhuo Xiaofan was arranged in the lower seat.

Xiao Jin and others defended Zhuo Xiaofan: "Who arranged this, if this battle was not decided by my master, how could such a victory come about?"

The princess looked embarrassed: "It's because I didn't think carefully. I'll ask someone to change the seat."

Zhuo Xiaofan, a wife-protecting madman, saw the embarrassment on the princess's face, and criticized Xiao Jin: "I arranged it, do you have any objections? A king is a king, and a minister is a minister. There is a difference between a king and a minister, do you understand?"

Now that Zhuo Xiaofan said that, Xiao Jin naturally didn't say anything else, but in his heart he felt a little vindicated for the master, just a bad boy, why not.

The princess cast a grateful look at Zhuo Xiaofan.

Zhuo Xiaofan smiled slightly: "This is what a minister should do."

The princess cupped her hands towards Zhuo Xiaofan: "Thank you."

Zhuo Xiaofan supported the princess: "Is this necessary between you and me? Don't you know what I care most about?"

Tears flickered in the eyes of the princess: "If you don't disappoint me in this life, I will depend on you for life and death."

This sentence is enough, Xi Mengyao's weight in Zhuo Xiaofan's heart is even more important than that position.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhuo Xiaofan raised his wine glass: "Soldiers, today's battle depends on the wiseness of the Holy Emperor, the might of the princess, and the bravery of all the soldiers. Drink from this cup."

"Dry."

"Dry."

There were bursts of bold voices from below.

After toasting three times in a row, Zhuo Xiaofan raised his glass again and said: "This battle is the first battle against Dong Zhou, not the final battle. I, Zhuo, would like to follow the Holy Emperor and Princess together with everyone, and help the Han Dynasty , to save the common people in the water and fire. If you are willing, please drink this cup together."

"We are willing to follow the Holy Emperor and the princess. Long live the Holy Emperor, long live, long live, and the princess is a thousand years old."

"We are willing to follow the Holy Emperor and the princess. Long live the Holy Emperor, long live, long live, and the princess is a thousand years old."

The oath of all the soldiers swallowed up the mountains and rivers, shaking the sky and the earth.

Xi Mengyao glanced at Zhuo Xiaofan gratefully.

Xi Muge, who was above the main seat, also said in a dignified manner at this moment: "Everyone loves you."

Although he used to be above the main hall, he also accepted the scene of the ministers paying homage, but it was definitely not as spectacular as the current scene, and it was much more enjoyable without the constraints of Dong Zhou.There was a strange feeling in his heart, this was the first time he felt refreshed after leaving the palace that he was attached to.
