Especially Yang Zhen's troops who were trapped in three strong cities had already run out of arrows and food, but now they almost lost the support of their powerful spiritual power, and the situation was even more difficult because they knew that their great spiritual leader was planning in Yunzhongcheng!

Yang Zhen saw that the three cities could no longer be defended in the base camp outside his city. In order to preserve the vitality, he had to order the three cities guarding troops under his command to open the city gate to break through. He personally led more than 10,000 troops to pick them up.

After these three troops broke through the encirclement, the loss of troops reached about 70%. Yang Zhen was ashamed of his heart and couldn't help but whistle to the sky, vowing to avenge the arrow!

After more than a month of bloody and tragic city offensive and defensive battles, these three cities trapped by Yang Zhen’s army were finally easily captured by Duan Shiheng.

A day later, Liang Hongyu also moved his central army tent to Tiancheng County in the northeast corner.

At this time, Wang Handong, Shuozhou, finally arrived and set up camp in Qingling Town, more than ten miles southwest of Changqing County. Hongtong Temple in the town became his temporary base camp and confronted Liang Hongyu's army head-on.

Another big battle is brewing, but Han Dong no longer dares to make moves easily, waiting for the military advisor Mr. Shang to come and make plans...

Let’s talk about a powerful general in the army directly under the Yunzhong City, Zhan Tianying. His eldest son Zhan Yun led more than 10,000 light cavalry under his command to fight against the 20,000 cavalry under the command of Zhou Chuzhi, the general of the official army.

The two armies fought against Zhou Chuzhi in front of the formation. Both of them were brave and good at fighting. They still had no choice but to win and lose after three hundred rounds.

The deputy generals of both sides waved the flag and waved the flag. The large-scale battle between the two light cavalry began. They were both equally brave and tenacious, and they killed blood for a moment!

However, Zhan Yun suffered a loss because his troops were at a clear disadvantage. After half a day of fierce fighting, Zhan Yun's army gradually became unsupported and had to retreat to Yunzhong City.

Zhou Chuzhi took advantage of the situation to surround Yunzhongcheng to launch an attack. Waves of dense arrows shot towards the defenders on the city. The strong and tall city walls were surrounded by cavalry soldiers holding sabres and climbing up to the city head along the siege carts, shouting loudly to fight with the rebels, but every time they always had heavy thunder and little rain, they were easily driven down by the rebels.

Zhan Tianying, who was in the old nest of Yunzhong, was still nervous for a while, and kept dispatching troops to deploy city defense matters. At this moment, he saw that the official army was very powerful when siege the city, but the attack was obviously not enough. He knew that the light cavalry under Zhou Chuzhi was highly mobile, and it could be used to siege the city at least 40,000 to 50,000 infantry. However, if used for attacking, the maneuverability advantage of the cavalry was gone. It was not only not cost-effective, but also difficult to pose too much threat to the strong city in Yunzhong.

Zhan Tianying felt relieved a little, and handed over the responsibility of defending the city to the eldest son, and focused on how to deal with Liang Hongyu.

But even so, he was still a little uneasy, because Zhou Chuzhi's cavalry only needed to siege the city for a month, and there would be a famine in Yunzhong City. Then, without waiting for the official army to attack the city, he had to lead the imperial guards to break through the siege.

The only troops he can mobilize is the Xuande army stationed in the Hetao area. He had to order his second brother to quickly send his troops north to rescue him.

King Chi Bilai of Xuande received the brother's expedited order and was shocked. Has the battle situation deteriorated so much?

This is a crisis situation that has never been facing in more than a year. He knew very well that if the vigorous uprising failed, the court would have the mentality of not punishing the public without mercy on the law, and the vast number of soldiers under his command might be able to escape, but these rebel generals would not only be able to escape death, but would also implicate the nine clans!

Chi Bilai dared not neglect. He had previously sent Tuoba Wei, Zhan Hailiang and Liu Ben to lead Xuande troops 100,000 to the Huaian front line according to the deployment of Military Advisor Shang. Now he does not have many mobile troops.

After some urgent mobilization, he finally collected 50,000 troops, and he personally led a large army to the north at night to help the clouds.

At noon, a large group of people marched to the foot of Baideng Mountain. The holy city in their hearts was far away in the clouds, less than twenty miles apart. Chi Bilai, who was in charge of the central army, has not received a command from his elder brother to urge him to march. He knew that Yunzhong City was still safe and sound, and his tense nerves were slightly relaxed. He ordered the horse to rest and keep his vigilance.

Since his departure, his troops have been marching for seven days and nights. In addition to the commanding generals, the soldiers carried various weapons and equipment and the military rations distributed to everyone's heads. They all depended on their legs to walk on their legs, resting for no more than two hours a day. From yesterday when they were lighting up to now, they rushed for one night and one morning. The soldiers were exhausted and could finally sit on the side of the road and drink some water and eat some dry food.

Among the official troops stationed in the southern part of the Guanzhong region, two senior generals were his childhood friends. Although they are enemies of each other, they occasionally exchange letters to talk about the past. When they talked about the amazing speed of his troops' marching, they didn't believe it at all. They thought he was boasting and he was too lazy to defend himself. However, he was very proud of his subordinates having such hard-working, brave and tenacious soldiers!

At this time, several cooks came over and planned to cook some hot rice and hot dishes for him. He waved his hand to stop him. Not to mention that during such a tense war, even if the troops were in short supply, they would save as much as possible. Since the soldiers were asked to save money, he would never do special things.

Eat some dry food and drink water randomly, the general outline of the nearby terrain gradually emerged in his mind. He thought about how to arrange troops later, cooperate with his elder brother, and encircle and annihilate this official cavalry corps that dared to go deep alone under Yunzhong City.

Their three brothers have grown up here since childhood, and he is very familiar with this area

While Chi Bilai was meditating, he suddenly saw a huge dust head in front of him, and a faint sound of shouting and killing came, but it was not very real to hear it several miles away. Could it be an illusion?

He looked closely and saw that there was something moving in the direction of the vanguard troops of the general Changsun Ding?

I couldn't help but wonder that Zhou Chuzhi's cavalry corps were busy siegeing the city under Yunzhong City, so how could there be any extra troops to deal with him?

He was about to send a probe to see what happened before, and Changsun Ding's messenger rushed to report. Your Highness, our vanguard troops were ambushed by the government army when they were about to cross the Yuhe River at the foot of the mountain. They were now under the enemy from all sides. General Changsun was worried that they would be surrounded by the enemy and asked Your Highness to send troops to reinforce!

Chi Bilai's heart was shocked. Could it be that the siege of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Bai Deng, was to repeat it on himself?

He quickly frowned and asked: How many troops do the enemy have?

The messenger said respectfully: General Changsun couldn't explain clearly for a while. While deploying a strategy to resist the enemy, he tried to find out the situation of the official army, but when his subordinates were riding horses while riding out, they saw shouting and killing from all directions, and smoke and dust rolling, it seemed that the enemy army was quite powerful!

Chi Bilai's heart was dark. When did such a large official army emerge from the hinterland of Yunzhong's important town?

The elder brother didn't mention this Ah in his letter?

He was suspicious and was about to order the direct troops of the central army to speed up the march, meet with Changsun Ding's vanguard army, and jointly deal with this enemy of unknown origin. At this time, a general Dugu Ba's messenger came to report, which was similar to Changsun Ding's messenger. However, this time, the troops behind the palace were suddenly attacked from all directions at the foot of the mountain, and the momentum was also huge!

This is a bit unusual!

Chi Bilai remained calm in the face of danger. After pondering for a while, he decisively ordered his aides: He ordered Changsun Ding and Dugu Ba to avoid panic. All troops formed a formation on the spot to meet the enemy. I have their own strategies to respond to the enemy! At the same time, a large number of detectives were sent to increase the scope of reconnaissance, focusing on Bai Dengshan and its surrounding areas!

The staff members immediately acted separately and conveyed his orders.

Chi Bilai walked to the topographic map, his eyes slowly moved on the lines of the ravines in Baideng Mountain Area, and he thought about how many people could be ambushed inside?

Before the first batch of horse exploration could be rewarded, a rumbling sound came from the west, and the ground seemed to tremble, and then gathered into the dense sound of horse hooves!

Chi Bilai hurriedly walked out of the simple central army tent that was temporarily built and put on the awning in his hand to look west, but he couldn't see the earth slope two miles away, and suddenly there were countless silver helmets jumping up and down, shining under the noon sunlight, which was very dazzling!

He never expected that his central army would be attacked suddenly, so he hurriedly shouted: Get up your weapons and prepare for the battle!

The Xuande soldiers who were sitting on the ground stood up and picked up their weapons. Generals and officers at all levels stepped on their war horses, and shouted in one after another, commanding their respective troops to fight.

Before the Xuande army could arrange its neatly arranged, a large number of light cavalry roared in wedge-shaped attack formations. The shining scimitar shook cold lights in the sunlight, and soon rushed to Chi Bilai's central tent.

The soldiers of Xuande Army rushed forward and desperately intercepted with spears. The moment the two armies contacted, the people and horses collided violently, and suddenly the people were overturned and the soldiers burst into intensive weapons, shouting, screaming and neighing. Countless broken limbs and arms were cut by sharp scimitars and flew far away. Many knights were also knocked off by the spears in the hands of Xuande Army. They continued to fight with the enemy soldiers with scimitars, and shouting and killing sounds shook the sky!

No matter how reluctant Chi Bilai was, he was forcibly mounted on a war horse by the guards to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of this elite cavalry!

Racing eastward a few miles away, he rushed up a slope surrounded by the guards and cavalrymen, climbed up and looked back, what a guy!

Fortunately, he was quick to dodge. This official cavalry was covered with blackness and came all over the mountains. There were at least tens of thousands of cavalry. Now he was divided into three groups and rushed around his temporary central army tent!

The central army tent has been razed to the ground, and his 30,000 troops directly under the central army have been cut into four sections, each fighting alone, and the head and tail cannot be taken care of each other.

Fortunately, the soldiers were not panicked, and were still fearless in such a harsh situation. They held various weapons and fought fiercely with the enemy cavalry. None of them fled in panic. Although the battlefield was in chaos, his troops did not show any signs of collapse.

However, in this wilderness, he suddenly encountered a fierce attack from a large cavalry force and had no dense formations to support him. His troops suffered heavy casualties, almost equivalent to being wantonly massacred by these knights holding scimitars!
