Night shrouded the Central Plains, and the evening wind whimpered in the air.

Lights lit up in the Liang Army camp not far from Tongzhou City, lighting up half of the night sky like a fire dragon.

The day's fierce fighting came to an end at dusk. The dead were buried and the injured were treated. Most of them would start a new day of siege battle when the sun rises tomorrow.

No one knows whether we will live or die tomorrow.

Densely packed deer antlers and horses were placed outside the camp, and there were many trap tunnels covered by weeds.

The defense of the entire Liangjun barracks may not seem very good, but in fact it is extremely tight. If the Longjun army fails to prepare for a night attack on the Liangjun barracks, it will definitely fall into a serious trap.

However, the Long Army was considered honest. Not to mention sneak attacks, they did not even send a single scout to come close to investigate the military situation.

They made up their mind to die in that fortified city.

Located in the center of the camp is the royal tent of Chenyue. The large banner of King Liang with the word "chen" embroidered on one side rustled in the night wind.

Although the current war in Tongzhou is not going well, and some soldiers occasionally complain and are in a bad mood, countless Liang soldiers will be ignited with passionate fighting spirit when they see this royal flag.

There seemed to be a murderous atmosphere around the royal tent tonight, and the number of white-horse Yi Cong guarding around the royal tent seemed to have increased several times more than usual.

An unsheathed Beiliang Dao exuded an icy chill, and sharp eyes lingered in the night.

The king's tent was brightly lit, with only three figures, Chen Yue, Chu Yucheng, and Zhuge Mufu, sitting in it.

There was a hint of worry and uneasiness in the brows of the three of them. They had been calculating the troops they could mobilize all afternoon. They looked sad and couldn't think of where else to mobilize troops to rush to Chifeng City.

Chen Yue wished he could break the Daliang Dragon Riders in half and use them as 20,000 people.

"Your Majesty, General Zuo wants to see you!"

Xu Luo's deep shout sounded outside the tent.

Chenyue raised his eyebrows and shouted softly: "Come in!"

"The last general, Zuoqiu, has met the prince!"

"I have met Chu Duhu, Mr. Zhuge!"

A slightly thin figure stood in front of the three people. Zuoqiu was wearing a pale white armor, and his robes were a little dirty and dusty.

Zuoqiu has been patrolling the infantry battalions in the rear in recent days. Bai Mayi, who went to deliver the order, wandered around for a long time before he found the person.

"sit down."

Chen Yue waved his hand and said softly: "General Zuo, you have worked hard these past two days."

"I dare not lie about my hard work as a general."

Zuoqiu sat upright, walking and standing with the rigor of a military commander engraved in his bones.

Zhuge subconsciously looked at Zuo Qiu a few times. In fact, he didn't have much contact with General Zuo, but he also knew that this man was a Confucian general.

Compared to those warriors who were trapped in battle with swords and horses, Zuoqiu's leadership style was closer to that of Chu Yucheng.

Some time ago, the Long Army sent its elite troops to break into pieces and sneak into the rear of the Liang Army to harass, causing the Liang Army's offensive pace to continue to slow down.

It was Zuoqiu who led his troops to quell the rebellion and eradicate the Long army. He handled the crisis very well and was highly appreciated by Chenyue.

Looking at the group of warriors recruited in Liaodong, Zuoqiu was considered to be one of the smartest ones.

Zuoqiu, who was sitting down, glanced at Chenyue and the others from the corner of his eye. He always felt that the atmosphere in the tent was not right.

But Chenyue and the other three didn't speak for a long time. They just closed their eyes and rested their minds.

Zuoqiu scratched his head and said doubtfully:

"Your Majesty, General Zhaomo is here, do you have any military affairs to arrange?"

Chenyue said softly: "Wait a moment, there is still one person left."

"One more person left?" Zuoqiu muttered silently in his heart, and then stopped talking.

Although he didn't know who the other person was, he heard a hint of solemnity in Chen Yue's tone, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and another general strode into the military tent and shouted in a deep voice:

"The last general, Wang Shouren, has met the prince!

I have met Chu Duhu and Mr. Zhuge!"

Wang Shouren's figure was much stronger than Zuoqiu's, and his collar was embroidered with a very conspicuous cloud drum logo.

When Zuoqiu and Wang Shouren's eyes met, both of them looked a little surprised.

The two of them had not been in the army for the past few days, but Chenyue urgently recalled them to the king's tent in the middle of the night. Something big must have happened.

"Finally we're all here."

Chenyue waved his hand: "Everyone sit down."

The two sat side by side, Zuoqiu asked cautiously:

"Your Majesty, did something happen?"

Chen Yue glanced at the two of them and said attentively:

"I just received an urgent military report from Xin Duhu during the day. The Yan army has invaded Liaodong."

"What, how is that possible!"

"impossible!"

The faint sound was like thunder on the ground, exploding in their ears.

The two of them stood up from their chairs after stabbing each other with shock on their faces. Anyone who heard this news would be shocked.

Wang Shouren said anxiously: "Did Luoyun City fall? Are Protector Xin, General Yun and the others okay? How many casualties were there among the defenders?

It stands to reason that the defenders of Luoyun City are all elites, so they shouldn’t destroy the city so quickly?”

Wang Shouren asked questions again and again, his face full of anxiety.

Zuoqiu also cast a doubtful look. They knew very well about the combat strength of the Liaodong defenders. Luoyun City was still impregnable a while ago, so why did the Yan soldiers suddenly enter the country now?

Chu Yucheng on the side shook his head and said softly:

"It's okay in Luoyun City, it's Chifeng City."

"Chifeng City?!"

In an instant, their minds went blank. Chifeng City? How could the Yan army enter the country from Chifeng City?

Chenyue said calmly:

"Don't be anxious, you two. Sit down, Yucheng, and tell the two generals the current situation."

Looking at the two people who were a little anxious and stunned, Chu Yucheng said:

"Liaodong urgently reported that the Yan army attacked Chifeng City from the direction of Jizhou. Chifeng City fell. All the more than 3,000 frontier troops including the defending general Liu Yu and deputy general Chen Wu were killed, and no one survived.

After the Yan army broke through the city, they massacred the city. There were nearly 10,000 people in the city, but there were less than 500 survivors. The city was full of dead bodies.

The Benlei Cavalry troops traveled through the night and night, traveling hundreds of miles to aid Chifeng City, fighting to the death with the Yan army for a whole day and night, and finally repelled the Yan army and recaptured Chifeng City.

However, thousands of Ben Leiqi were killed in the battle, and more than half of them were casualties. The deputy commander, Bian Luan, was seriously injured and is still in a coma.

At present, Xin Duhu, who is staying in Liaodong, has rushed to Chifeng City to deploy the defense of Chifeng City."

"What, it's actually like this."

"The Yan army came in from Chifeng City!"

The two of them were shocked by the news. The only thing that made people feel lucky was that Chifeng City was recaptured.

Chu Yucheng continued:

"According to General Xin's speculation, the Yan army should have had internal support at Pinghan Road, opened the border defense, and then the main force entered the pass, so they easily occupied Pinghan Road.

Then the Yan army sent out light cavalry to attack Chifeng City from the direction of Jizhou, which led to today's situation."
