After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

The west city gate guarded by Li Xiujing was currently resisting the fierce attack of the rebels. The messenger ran up to him panting and conveyed the news from He Liang.

After listening to the report, Li Xiujing looked towards the city. After thinking for a moment, he saw the light of a knife rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. Suddenly he turned sideways and chopped down the Youzhou soldiers who were climbing up. Just as he sheathed his sword, arrows flew towards the city like a heavy rain.

Pulling the soldier who was delivering the order to squat down, Li Xiujing raised his shield above his head.

After all, Qingyuan is a small county town. Even though it has fortifications such as urn city, female wall, horse face, and horse breeding city, it is not completely strong.

Dugubo used a false retreat as a cover to join forces with Zheng Xuan, and he did not hesitate to take a large number of siege equipment to take a detour to attack Qingyuan. It was clear that Qingyuan was to be captured today. The defensive capabilities of Qingyuan City could not withstand the waves of rebel attacks. If this continues, when their supplies are exhausted, they will be the turtle in the urn.

With his thoughts at this point, Li Xiujing's eyes began to ponder.

Soldiers are crafty. It is about the tactical confrontation between the generals of the two armies. The best opportunity right now is to lure the enemy into the city and ambush them. But this is also tantamount to taking a risk.

The rain of arrows paused. Li Xiujing looked down through the battlements.

Both the Shence Army and the Youzhou Army became more and more courageous as they fought, and neither side had any intention of retreating. You have the tools to defend the city, and I also have the weapons to attack the city waiting. In this tug-of-war, neither side had a moment to breathe. After the Youzhou soldiers who had just climbed up the city wall were chopped down by the Shence Army at the top of the city, others immediately came up from the ladder below.

Arrows were scattered all over the city wall, and the Shence Army had no time to clean them up, so they could only fire back arrows in a steady stream.

The smell of blood filled the nasal cavity, along with the smell of burnt flesh, making people almost nauseous. The sergeant's painful wails could be heard in his ears.

"General, they are attacking from the northwest corner."

"General, we don't have much stone or rolling wood left!"

The sound of reports fell on my ears. Li Xiujing glanced at the flag fluttering at the top of the city and issued a military order. Let the rebels enter the inner city to catch turtles in the urn.

"Fight and retreat, let them in. As soon as the main force enters the inner city, immediately lower the stone gate to block their retreat!" Li Xiujing avoided the flying arrows and ordered the messenger.

He led the Shence sergeants under his command to fight and retreat. Li Xiujing pierced the body of the Youzhou soldiers who rushed into the city with one swing of his long spear.

The news that the Shence Army gave up defending the first city gate also reached Dugu Bo's ears. He ordered the Youzhou soldiers to quickly open the city gate and rush in. Whoever captured Li Xiujing first would be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold.

Driven by profit and dazzled by victory, the Youzhou soldiers rushed into Qingyuan City regardless of whether they had a conspiracy or not.

With a "boom", the stone door behind them fell, dividing the Youzhou soldiers into two groups. Before they could react, the stone door in front of them also slowly fell. Although some people struggled to hold up Shimen, carrying it on their shoulders and supporting it with their arms, trying to buy time for their colleagues.

However, how can human power resist mechanical power? After a burst of smoke and dust, the stone door suddenly fell to the ground. The Youzhou soldiers who wanted to carry them with their own manpower died tragically under the stone gate, staring ahead with wide eyes and blood foaming from their mouths.

The front and back roads were blocked, and the Youzhou soldiers rose up to resist.

There were constant sounds of fighting outside the city.

Li Xiujing swung his sword to chop down the Youzhou soldiers who rushed towards him, and looked back at the first stone gate. Dugu Bo had probably already entered the first city gate.

Taking a deep breath, Li Xiujing ordered the archers ambushing on the wall of the second gate to release arrows.

The space inside the two city gates was narrow, and the cavalry was useless here. They can only abandon their horses and fight with the Shence Army like infantrymen. If the long spear is broken, they will use the horizontal sword. The sword flashes in the night, and someone around you is killed by the enemy at any time.

"General, they opened the door!" General Shence kicked over the Youzhou soldiers and walked to Li Xiujing, "We have to retreat through the second door."

Li Xiujing raised his head and looked at Dugu Bo, who was riding in front of him, and turned his blade. Orders were sent to archers to cover their retreat.

The speed with which Dugu Bo broke through a door was beyond his expectation. Li Xiujing looked back while fighting with the chasing Youzhou soldiers.

I saw someone with a certain attribute around Dugu Bo.

It was Wang Kui, the Shenceya general whom he personally promoted.

As if aware of his gaze, Wang Kui smiled sadly, "General Li, don't blame Wang. If you blame me, blame you for choosing the wrong position. Only if you die can the situation of the court change."

After saying this, Wang Kui turned his head to look at Dugu Bo and held his hands towards him.

Looking at Wang Kui with squinted eyes, Li Xiujing was cold. In order to gain a powerful position, these people did not hesitate to collude with the rebels, and they planned to kill him in Qingyuan. They want to accuse the Shence Army of this defeat and take control of the Shence Army.

But why are they fighting bloody battles on the front line? But these high-ranking officials from Chang'an City's Zi Fei plotted against them mercilessly again and again.

Although she was filled with anger in her chest, Li Xiujing still maintained her composure and commanded her sergeants to retreat. As soon as I entered the second gate, I saw the residential houses of Qingyuan behind me.

Just when Youzhou soldiers were chasing after him. Suddenly there was a flash of fire in the night sky.

He Liang fired a loud arrow over there.

The city was completely in flames of war. Li Xiujing had to lead his troops to retreat to the south of the city to join He Liang.

The city gate opened, and Youzhou soldiers rushed in menacingly.

The sound of horse hooves shattered the tranquility of the night.

Covering the wound on her right shoulder, Li Xiujing jumped into the alley with the remaining Shence Army. He had discussed with Cui Boyu before to evacuate all the people and food from the city first. If he is defeated, the people will be sent back. If he unfortunately dies, Cui Boyu will escort the people to Dingzhou to seek the protection of Yiwu Jiedushi.

At this time, Qingyuan was an empty city, and people in Dugubo were not familiar with it. In addition, the city's compact layout was not suitable for cavalry operations, and infantry was inseparable from armor. Whenever he wants to chase someone, he will make noise.

Li Xiujing, on the other hand, had already given up his armor and used the wall to feel his way towards the west city.

But after all, there are five thousand sergeants. I don't know who stumbled and kicked down the porcelain jar on the roadside.

"They are over there!" the Youzhou soldiers searching for them shouted.

"The one in purple is Li Xiujing!"

Hearing this, Li Xiujing quickly took off her robe.

"General running away like this is not an option." The tooth general next to him lowered his voice.

"Let's go separately." Li Xiujing spoke military sign language with General Ya, "Their first target is me. You take people to join He Liang and the others. Let's fight out from the west gate."

"But how could the general let you be alone..."

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Xiujing interrupted General Ya, "Leave the green hills without fear of running out of firewood. Follow my military orders and go separately."

After he finished speaking, he looked deeply at Li Xiujing and bowed to him. He took five thousand soldiers and retreated toward the west city.

Wiping away the blood stains on his face, Li Xiujing glanced contemptuously at the Youzhou soldiers approaching step by step.

With a twist of his wrist, he pulled out the sword and said, "I am Li Xiujing, the divine strategist!"

After saying that, Li Xiujing turned around and rushed into the darkness.
