Early in the morning, outside Susong City, when the male army hurriedly finished breakfast and was ready to launch another attack, Li Dingguo''s first 3000 troops arrived in time.


    Obviously, last night, Li Dingguo sent a messenger to March overnight. There were 3000 new troops. Although the remaining 6000 Tianxiong sergeants recovered a lot, they could not attack the city head any more.


    At this time, Wu Shen regretted that his intestines were green. He regretted that his brothers were too tired last night, so he gave up his plan to attack the city overnight. Who ever thought that the other party''s reinforcements would be killed after dawn.


    The two sides were deadlocked for a whole morning. When Li Dingguo''s follow-up army kept coming, Wu Shen also completely gave up his heart. Knowing that it was impossible to win Susong County, he had to retreat for 20 miles and send someone to report the situation to Lu Xiangsheng.


    When Lu Xiangsheng received the news, the army had reached the periphery of Taihu County. After a long sigh, he knew that there was no hope of breaking through.


    At this time, tens of thousands of Chinese troops had been pressed from the East. The army had no more choice, so they had to order the army to retreat to Taihu County and send someone to ask Zuo Liangyu for help.


    Although he was about to be surrounded, Lu Xiangsheng did not lose confidence. He still had nearly 70000 troops in his hands, and Taihu county still had some food and grass. It would not be a problem to stick to it for a month or two.


    As long as Zuo Liangyu cooperates well with the Navy, he may not be able to cope with external cooperation and defeat the Chinese army in Taihu County.


    After all, the real Chinese army is about 50000, and the other 50000 are the Chu army that has returned to China. With 20000 troops and horses in Anqing, Zuo Liangyu can dispatch a full 150000 troops, which can completely encircle 100000 Chinese troops on the periphery.


    ……


    Three days later, Qin Huan and Li Dingguo led their troops to the periphery of Taihu County from East, West and south. At this time, Tianxiong army was already waiting for them.


    More than 70000 troops did not all shrink in the county city, but set up three barracks outside the city. Although the three barracks were small, they were very strong.


    "Dingguo, how''s the injury?"


    "It''s just some flesh wounds. It''s not in the way."


    "That''s good, but now it''s different from the past. In the future, you can''t carry the knife in person."


    Qin Huan was relieved to see that he was really all right, and then patted him on the shoulder.


    Li Dingguo glanced at the Taihu County in the distance and said with a dignified face: "Xiaoyu, although Lu Xiangsheng is surrounded by us in Taihu County, if we can''t compress them all into the city in time, once Zuo Liangyu brings troops to rescue, we are at a disadvantage."


    "Oh, it''s natural. Don''t worry. I still have dozens of cannons in my hand. I don''t believe I can''t pull out the three camps outside the city before Zuo Liangyu''s army arrives."


    Qin Huan nodded and said confidently that he had fought for so many years. Why should Li Dingguo remind him of this?


    If Lu Xiangsheng''s army is not compressed into the city, they will not only spend a lot of troops to besiege, but also prevent the other party from launching a counterattack at all times.


    In this case, once Zuo Liangyu comes with the army, it''s not sure who wins or loses.


    Therefore, the army only rested for a day and began to attack the barracks outside Taihu County. Of course, Li Dingguo''s obedient army and cannon fodder camp took the lead, while the firearm camp was behind.


    At the same time, in order to concentrate his troops, Qin Huan even gave up Wangjiang County, which had just been captured. In Susong, Huang Mei stationed 2000 troops and horses respectively, and Jiujiang stationed 5000 troops and horses to ensure that the grain channel was unblocked, and all the naval ships sailed to Jiujiang.


    Qin Huan knew that although Lu Xiangsheng was surrounded, it was almost impossible to make a quick decision. Firstly, the other party could not surrender. Secondly, it was not cost-effective to attack them. Therefore, he had to trap them alive. In this way, it must be a protracted war.


    Taihu county is hot, but Zuo dashai is leisurely. He finally killed Tongling, but Shi Kefa finally integrated the joint Navy and went up along the river to meet Zuo dashai in Tongling.


    At this time, the messenger sent by Lu Xiangsheng also arrived. Marshal Zuo and Shi Kefa were shocked to hear that Lu Xiangsheng''s army was surrounded in Taihu County.


    "What the hell is going on? Governor Lu has 80000 troops. Why are they easily surrounded by thieves? And still surrounded Taihu County? "


    Compared with Zuo Liangyu, he knew something. Shi Ke''s law was completely confused. After returning to his mind, he immediately asked.


    If Lu Xiangsheng went to rescue Anqing and was surrounded by thieves, he could understand, but he really couldn''t figure out why he was surrounded in Taihu County, such an insignificant county. Moreover, with Lu Xiangsheng''s ability, if he was really so easy to be surrounded, he couldn''t mix with the position of governor of seven provinces.


    The messenger didn''t dare to hide. Lu Xiangsheng was going to take a detour to cut off the retreat of the thief army. Li Dingguo built a plank road and made a surprise attack on Jiujiang and Susong one after another. Then the thief Qin Huan turned back and captured Wangjiang and sent troops to the north of Anqing.


    After hearing this, Shi Kefa was still in the clouds, but the veteran commander Zuo, with a cold back and an unbelievable face, asked, "do you mean that the thief army attacked Jiujiang, Susong, captured Wangjiang and sent troops to cut off governor Lu''s back in just two days?"


    "Yes, marshal Zuo!"


    "I see." Zuo Liangyu suddenly woke up with a lingering fear on his face. Now, he doesn''t understand that the thief army''s rush to bypass Jiujiang and kill Anqing is clearly a conspiracy. If Lu Xiangsheng hadn''t had an ulterior motive, I''m afraid he was trapped now.


    "Zuo Taibao, governor Lu is in danger now. Please go to the rescue quickly! Otherwise it will be too late. " Shi Kefa is in a hurry. He can''t help but feel that Lu Xiangsheng''s soldiers and horses are the only hope of ZTE Daming in the future.


    "Shi Shilang, don''t be impatient. Governor Lu has 80000 troops. It''s impossible for the thief army to eat it in a moment and a half. It still needs to be considered in the long run! So as not to be fooled by the thief army again. "


    Zuo Liangyu waved his hand, but he was much calmer than chaotic historical methods.


    "What else can we think about in the long run? Zuo Taibao, don''t you want to die? "


    Shi Kefa was furious when he saw that he had nothing to do with himself.


    "Fart, do you think I don''t even understand the truth that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold?"


    Zuo Liangyu didn''t like civil servants like him, and the navy was swallowed by them. Now he didn''t take himself as a marquis in his eyes, and roared.


    "Unexpectedly, Zuo Taibao knows the truth that his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. How are you going to rescue him? When do you start? "


    Shi Kefa also knew that the only hope now was Zuo Liangyu, so he had to suppress his anger.


    "If Ben Shuai wants to rescue, Shi Shilang''s navy must obey my command." Zuo Liangyu''s tone also slowed down.


    "Yes!"


    Shi Kefa agreed without hesitation. Now that Lu Xiangsheng is surrounded, the Navy alone can''t solve the siege, so he really doesn''t know what to do except obey Zuo Liangyu''s scheduling.
