Since the tunnel was dug in advance, the Liang army guarding the city was of course ready. The soldiers on duty had heard the movement and immediately ran around to warn. Soon after, blood splashed in the narrow space, and the limbs that were chopped by sharp blades were cut from time to time, and screams were constantly echoing on the ground.

Li Cunxian held a knife in his hand and slashed several people one after another. A cold light flew over the neck of a Liang army infantry general who was coming towards him, and blood gushed. Although he killed the enemy general in front of him with one knife, he had no time to breathe. Two Liang soldiers cursed on the side, swung the weapons in his hands and slashed, and then greeted Li Cunxian's body again.

The narrow steel knife was stuck between the infantry's neck bones, and Li Cunxian simply let go and used the horn-and-forth method he was good at. First, he slashed with one sword, and Li Cunxian sided and avoided it. Even though he used the means of using force to fight, he reached out to touch the man's neck and went to the side, and the Liang soldier who had taken the lead hit the face of the earth wall, his nose was broken, and blood flowed, and he fainted immediately;

Another Liang soldier who stabbed the gun was also empty. Li Cunxian took advantage of him to hit his arms and immediately clamped the soldier's head in his arms, and then twisted it! A crisp "crack" sound suddenly broke, and his neck bone was broken!

But... this is already Li Cunxian's limit. In the end, the tunnel space is narrow and can only allow a few people to rush to the front. The other party also digs out the tunnel barrier and can still gain an advantage in geographical advantages. With only a small number of manpower, the intersection that the Jin army finally dug out can be tightly blocked.

After all, it was not Tu Xingsun who could come down from the ground to go freely. Li Cunxian rushed forward at the first time and still tried to break out a path. But now he had to retreat with his bare hands facing the enemy generals who were roaring and protruding weapons in front. When Li Cunxian retreated with his back, the lives of soldiers who rushed forward and fought with him were quickly consumed in this small space. The bodies were stacked in one place, and there were many more obstacles at the entrance of the cave that could be shuttled into the tunnel...

As a last resort, Li Cunxian had no choice but to lead the remaining troops to withdraw from the tunnel. Even if he was unwilling to give up, he would continue to wear down? I am afraid that they would all sleep directly under this land.

Until Li Cunxian was so angry that he took out the tunnel with the other soldiers and reported it in annoyance. Li Sizhao saw that his righteous brother's armor was covered with wounds and blood. After he spoke again to comfort him? He also knew very well that there was a military order, although he was unwilling to issue it, but now it seemed that there was a last plan to use...

Even if Li Sizhao can adapt to the situation on the battlefield, he is also a resourceful and intelligent general. However, there are many restrictions on siege battles, and in the end it is nothing more than breaking through the city walls, snatching the city passes, digging the roads and other means to use it.

The enemy general Niu Cunjie is in good command? The three armies of the defending city guards have their lives? I guess the army reserves are very sufficient... So even if the soldiers under his command launched a fierce attack with red eyes, it still is difficult to pose a real threat to the Liang army. Although Li Sizhao was eager to break through the city, his mind was always calm and clear when fighting. It seems that the strong attack would not be possible? The next day, Li Sizhao seemed to make a quick decision? He soon ordered the three armies to retreat northwest.

Seeing that the Jin army retreated, Niu Cunjie first thought that he would finally resist the Jin army's offensive this time. He originally planned to take the opportunity to expand the results of the war and then regain the three prefectures of Jin, Xi and Ci, which were occupied by the Hezhong Army. But just when he was about to issue a military order? He suddenly woke up and secretly said:

Then Li Sizhao was a rising star in the Jin army? Sude Li Keyong is highly valued, and he was granted the title of governor of Zhaoyi Army? Hearing that his previous record of fighting with our Liang Kingdom was indeed a strong enemy. Am I relying on the dangers of the city defense? Carefully dealing with it? He has no choice but to do anything? But if we really fight each other in the field and have equal military strength, it is still unknown which is better, Li Sizhao or I.

And now he vowed to seize the entire territory of the Hezhong Army's vassal states. The attack on the city was unfavorable, so he probably wouldn't give up...

Thinking of this, Niu Cunjie hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the plan to leave the city to take advantage of the situation to pursue the Jin army and then plan to regain three military states. After all, Jinzhou, Xizhou and Cizhou are relatively not extremely important, and they will be recaptured in the future. However, Hezhong Prefecture and Jiangzhou are absolutely not allowed to be lost now. Niu Cunjie then issued a military order, sending a small group of fast-paced scouts to pay close attention to the movements of the Jin army, and then ordered all the troops under his command to not be careless, and to repair the city defense as soon as possible, and send aides to Chang'an to report military information.

A few days later, in the dense forests of mountains and forests more than 120 miles northwest of Jiangzhou Prefecture. Li Sizhao said silently, and looked around at Shi Yan, who was hanging his arms beside him, and even Li Cunxian and other colleagues. He suddenly sighed and said:

"Forget it... Niu Cunjie is not only good at defending, but also cautious in using troops. He will eventually be unable to break through Jiangzhou... he has to dispatch officials to supervise the affairs of Jin, Xi and Ci as soon as possible, and rectify defense. At least he can form a pressure on the land in the south of the Hezhong Army. But this time... he can only retreat."

If Niu Cunjie would be complacent because he repelled the enemy in the city and immediately tried to take advantage of the situation to go out of the city to pursue him. According to Li Sizhao's deployment, he would not only set up an ambush here, but had previously sent a quick horse to the place where his colleagues' military camps were stationed to report... If Niu Cunjie came, there would also be Shi Jianyan, and Li Siyuan and the two Jin army members, Xiao Li, would deviate from his retreat.

However, Niu Cunjie still did not fall into the trap. Li Sizhao knew that he could only withdraw his troops now, and minimize unnecessary casualties and then fill his life to attack. It was nothing more than losing his military strength. It seemed that he could only withdraw his troops for the time being and try to open up this road to Chang'an, Guanzhong.

The war between Jin and Liang countries in the Hezhong Army's vassal states ended with Li Keyong's capture of three more prefectures, but he still failed to successfully complete the scheduled plan. The battle report came to Xuanwu Army Bianjing, and Li Tianqu thought that this was completely in his expectations.

Niu Cunjie deserves his reputation as a good defender. According to historical records, he can quickly predict the situation without waiting for Zhu Wen's edict to rescue soldiers in time, as well as classic cases such as "violent crossbow cave body", "digging holes to prevent the enemy", "diging wells to defend the city", etc. are mostly caused by the confrontation with the Jin army. Even when he encountered famous generals such as Zhou Dewei, he still allowed him to retreat without attack. Every time Jin State was suppressed by the Liang Dynasty, he started to attack and attacked the key areas, and often Niu Cunjie turned the tide and stabilized the situation.

If Niu Cunjie had not suffered from diabetes (diabetes) according to the original trajectory, he still had to take on major responsibilities because the Liang Dynasty had reached the end of the emperor and insisted on supervising the military, causing the condition to worsen... Even if the general situation was over, perhaps the Liang Dynasty could have lasted for a while.

Li Sizhao, who is now in the battle with Niu Cunjie, is the mainstay in the army in terms of their role in their own country, and is also all-star figures among the generals of the Five Dynasties. It is hard to say who can lead troops to fight better than who can. However, since Niu Cunjie is the defensive side this time, it is much more difficult for Li Sizhao to achieve strategic goals.

Yang Shihou, Zhenguo Army, Niu Cunjie, and Zhu Wen sent these two famous generals to become two strong barriers to protect Chang'an... It seems that the Liang Kingdom will not be destroyed in the near future...

Li Tianqu thought in his heart, but although the forces in Hebei are now in opposition to each other, the situation of the subordinates is roughly clear. It is not only me, Zhu Wen, Li Keyong, and even the forces of Heshuo. The current situation has developed to this current situation, and I occupy the Central Plains, which has forced Zhu Wen to transfer his foundation to Guanzhong... The current situation is not only different from the historical trajectory, but also the vassals of other countries and vassals will make actions different from the original trajectory according to their own strategic situation...
