Xu Maogong looked at the Tang army soldiers kneeling on the ground and knew that he had no chance of making a comeback. He couldn't help but look up at the young counselor who was drinking on the hillside.

At this moment, he was shaking the wine gourd in his hand towards himself with a smile on his face.

Xu Maogong and his army were ambushed in a narrow valley between Luoyang and Chang'an. Guo Jia and his army used huge rocks to forcibly separate the 500,000-strong army.

Xu Maogong led a surprise attack with an army of 300,000 troops in front, but was blocked by Ma Chao and cut off by Tai Shici. Attacked from both sides, the remaining soldiers surrendered after losing hundreds of thousands of troops.

The 200,000-strong army that was separated at the rear was almost wiped out by huge rocks, but there were still a few soldiers who survived after hiding and fled back to Luokou.

After they returned to Luokou, they were immediately taken to the city wall by Li Jiancheng's personal guards, and said to Li Jiancheng:"Your Majesty, something serious has happened.

Xu Junshi was ambushed at Jiadao Mountain, and the army was divided. Xu Junshi led The 300,000 troops in the front broke through, but were stopped by Ma Chao and blocked at the entrance of the valley. They were attacked from two sides and might not be able to break out. As for the 200,000 troops in the rear, they were pushed down countless boulders from the hillside by the Dragon Kingdom soldiers. The whole army was almost wiped out, and only a dozen people including me escaped and reported the news to His Majesty."

Li Jiancheng was already worried when he learned that Guo Jia was leading a raid on Chang'an. Later, he ordered Xu Maogong to lead fifty Wan Dajun went to the rescue and felt a little relieved... But he didn't expect that just a few hours later, he heard the bad news again.

He said with surprise on his face:"What did you say, Xu Mao? That was an army of half a million people. Could it be that they couldn't even defeat Guo Jia's 100,000 vanguard army and were just wiped out?"

Facing Li Jiancheng's Naturally, the two soldiers who had escaped from Nasha had no answer. At this time, Fang Xuanling sighed, and then said:"It seems that we have underestimated the military advisors of the Dragon Kingdom. We did not expect that attacking Chang'an was not its purpose." , he just pretended to attack Chang'an, or besieged Chang'an without attacking, but his real purpose was to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements, in an attempt to continuously consume the effective strength of our army. It is really not easy for this person to become the military advisor of the Dragon Kingdom, and the Dragon Emperor With so many civil servants and generals under his command, it is no wonder that the Dragon Kingdom was able to rise instantly in just a few months." After hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Jiancheng's face turned pale. After all, he was full of confidence with an army of three million. They marched south from Chang'an to attack Yangzhou, thinking that they were bound to win.

However, they only fought for one day, but they suffered two defeats in succession. First, in the field battle outside Luokou City, a million-strong army was massacred by 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Dragon Kingdom.

As a result, not only were hundreds of thousands of people killed, but even his general Wang Bodang was directly captured by the opponent. What was even more frightening was that the opponent had almost no casualties.

Later, I wanted to use the city wall to fight a defensive battle to wear down the Dragon Kingdom's army, but I didn't expect that the other side would directly withdraw its troops and stop attacking. At the same time, news of Chang'an's emergency came.

In desperation, he sent another 500,000 troops back to Chang'an for support. However, within two hours, some soldiers escaped and said that Xu Maogong had been ambushed.
