The soldier, escorted by his comrades, struggled to break through the defense line of Guo Jia and others almost with one breath, and exhausted all his strength before arriving at Luokou to deliver the news.

At this time, all his comrades-in-arms had died in the battle, and he just gritted his teeth and held on with faith. So after telling the news about Chang'an's emergency, all his faith collapsed in an instant, and he passed out directly.

However, the news was so urgent that no one cared about the soldier who fell to the ground, and just had people help him out.

Li Jiancheng glanced at the Longguoying Village outside the city with a livid face, and said bitterly:"Sure enough, I didn't expect this Liu Feng to be so cunning!"

Then Li Jiancheng turned to Xu Maogong and said:"Xu Maogong, I order you to hurry up Lead an army of 500,000 people to leave Luokou and return to Chang'an. No matter what method you use, you must defend Chang'an without any loss!"

Xu Maogong knew that this was the critical moment for Li Tang's survival, and he could not allow him to shirk, so he handed over his hands solemnly. He said:"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will fulfill my mission."

As Li Jiancheng's accompanying military advisor, he knew better than anyone else that Chang'an, as the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, its importance and symbolism are self-evident. If the capital is captured, For the Tang army, which was already low in morale, it would inevitably cause a more serious blow.

What's more, once Chang'an is lost, the Tang Dynasty's three million army will be at a loss. Once the Dragon Kingdom's vanguard army led by Guo Jia and Ma Chao moves south from Chang'an to Luokou and attacks Liu Feng's main army from both sides, the Tang Emperor will be in danger.

It was precisely because Xu Maogong knew the important position of Chang'an and the danger if it was breached that after receiving Li Jiancheng's order, he immediately led an army of 500,000 people and marched away.

Since Li Jiancheng had issued a death order, Xu Maogong naturally rushed back to support before the Dragon Kingdom's vanguard army led by Guo Jia and Ma Chao broke through Chang'an.

It's just that neither he nor Li Jiancheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others have been disrupted by Liu Feng's arrangement, so they didn't even think of this fatal flaw.

That is, according to the strong strength displayed by the Dragon Kingdom army at this time, Guo Jia and Ma Chao's vanguard army will not be too weak.

Especially with Guo Jia's plan and Ma Chao's powerful force, how could the defenders of Chang'an break through the encirclement and suppression of the Dragon Kingdom's vanguard army and reach Luokou with only dozens of soldiers?

They were able to break through the defense lines of Guo Jia and Ma Chao and come to Luokou to report to Li Jiancheng. Guo Jia must have deliberately let them go. His purpose was to disrupt the military morale of the Tang Dynasty.

Even if Chang'an is not captured for the time being, once the Tang soldiers know that there is another army from the Dragon Kingdom attacking the capital, it will be enough to cause them to panic and make them worry about the situation in Chang'an.

Even if Li Jiancheng could suppress the news from the soldiers, he would definitely divide his troops to return reinforcements.

In this way, the Tang Army, which was already at a disadvantage in terms of strength, would inevitably fall into an even more disadvantageous situation, and Liu Feng would be able to win more easily.

Of course, Guo Jia, who is known as a genius, obviously does not only have such a little planning, he is also familiar with the essence of encirclement and support.

At this time, Chang'an was in a critical situation, and Li Jiancheng was an inevitable choice to send troops back for reinforcements. _To read the ununderlined version of the novel, please download Fei Lu Xiao
