"Boom boom~"

"Dang Dang Dang!"

Just after the war ended, the whole city of Zhenbeiguan showed a lively and busy scene. Countless figures came and went to reinforce the city defenses, carry ordnances to the city, and men, women, old and young all went into battle.

It seemed that the fierce battle last night did not happen, and everyone was not tired at all.

Zhenbeiguan was captured by the Liang army less than a month after its fall, and the people in the city were extremely excited.

The common people who had suffered once were using all their strength to help the Liang army defend the city. No one wanted to suffer the Yan army's saber again.

As the commander-in-chief, Wang Shouren knew very well that taking Zhenbeiguan was the first step. If the Liang army wanted to stop the Yan army from attacking Liaodong, holding Zhenbeiguan was the most critical step.

They still have a long way to go.

At this moment, Wang Shouren was standing on the top of the city in the south, looking up into the distance. There was a large group of cavalry galloping towards the end of the horizon.

"Boom!"

The heavy and powerful sound of horse hoofbeats echoed in the air, and the endless flags of the right cavalry fluttered high in the wind.

The black-armored cavalry was like a sharp arrow, rushing forward rapidly across the land.

Many people put down their work and looked at the approaching cavalry with excitement, feeling much more at ease in their hearts.

That's right, Liang Jun's reinforcements have arrived!

The right cavalry troops who came from afar were obviously stunned when they saw that the battle in the city was over. Then, under the leadership of Sergeant Yungu, they entered the city in batches to strengthen the defense of the city.

The eight thousand right cavalry troops were led by Zuoqiu and the deputy commander of the right cavalry army, Guan Shaoyong, and were extremely powerful.

The two of them strode up to the top of the city and came to Wang Shouren. Zuoqiu said in astonishment:

"The war started so fast? Why did it end?"

This time the Liang army made a sneak attack on Zhenbeiguan. The army came out in three batches. The first batch was the Yungu army, which secretly advanced through the mountain paths to sneak attack on the Yan army;

The second route is the eight thousand right cavalry troops, marching from the main road to Zhenbei Pass;

The third line is the large group of young and strong infantry, which sets off immediately after the right cavalry army, carrying a large amount of ordnance, food and grass. They are the main force defending the city next.

The departure time of the three groups of armies was carefully calculated. The Liang army's plan was that the Yungu army would enter the city first, and then the cavalry would probably arrive at Zhenbeiguan early the next morning to join the battle, because if the cavalry set off too early, they would be defeated by the Yan army.

The army found out, making the sneak attack an empty talk.

But what Zuoqiu and Guan Shaoyong didn't expect was that the battle was already over before they arrived.

Ten thousand Yungu troops defeated tens of thousands of Yan troops. This battle was really good, and it seemed that the casualties of the Yungu troops were not large.

Wang Shouren spread his hands:

"It was the people in the city who helped us defeat the Yan army.

Otherwise, this battle would not be so easy."

Wang Shouren was grateful to the people of Zhenbeiguan from the bottom of his heart. From the moment he set off from Chifeng City, he was ready to annihilate his entire army.

"That's it~"

The two of them suddenly realized this and couldn't help but sigh at the integrity of the people of Pinghan Road.

Guan Shaoyong patted his breastplate and said slightly worriedly:

"Now that Zhenbeiguan has been obtained, can Commander Xie also send an order to withdraw the troops?

In the past two days, the Yan army has been continuously blocking the main roads between the two places and cutting off traffic. If the retreat is too late, it would be bad if the Benlei Cavalry is surrounded by the Yan army."

"Haha, don't worry~"

Zuoqiu smiled slightly: "Once our army takes Zhenbeiguan, it will be the Yan army that we should worry about.

I bet that the Yan army will shrink soon and concentrate its forces on us, and will not pursue Xie Xiaolei anymore.

Unless they don’t even want the entire Jizhou~"

"After taking Zhenbeiguan, Xin Duhu and the prince will feel more at ease." Wang Shouren twisted his neck and said:

"It solves our urgent need."

Zuoqiu said in a deep voice:

"The next step is for us to prepare for the battle to defend the city, and we must not relax.

The three of us will be stationed at Beiguan to resist the Yan army, and Chifeng City will be handed over to Xie Xiaolei, with Ben Lei riding behind us as a precaution.

This way Xin Duhu can also have free time to go to Luoyun City."

"good!"

The three of them hit it off immediately.

It won't be long before Beiguan, this town, will become another bloody battlefield in the north.

…

Yan soldiers were marching in twos and threes on the rugged mountain road, their long spears and short knives being dragged on the ground, and they were all lifeless.

These are the defeated troops who retreated from Zhenbeiguan.

North of Zhenbeiguan are mainly mountain roads, which are very difficult to walk.

However, the Yan army could only withdraw from this position and return to the hinterland of Jizhou in a circle along the rolling mountains.

Therefore, in the past, when Beijin attacked Pinghan Road, they were unwilling to attack from the direction of Zhenbeiguan. Instead, they gave priority to the Yanxingguan area because the terrain here was too favorable for the defenders.

Fortunately, these Yan troops still had many war horses and could kill horses to satisfy their hunger, otherwise there would not even be anyone who could stutter along the way.

Zhou Weiran sat on a big rock dejectedly, cursing.

After escaping for a whole day, he already figured out why Ben Leiqi suddenly took the initiative and attacked Jizhou City.

Together with the Liang army, they launched an attack from the east to the west, diverting their main cavalry force. The real target was Zhenbeiguan.

If the cavalry with the yellow background and silver falcon flag were still there, Zhou Weiran would be absolutely sure to kill all the Yungu Army and make Zhenbeiguan as stable as Mount Tai.

It’s a pity that everything is impossible!

Wanyanbi silently walked to Zhou Weiran and sat down:

"After roughly counting the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers who evacuated was less than 10,000. There must be more broken soldiers behind, and the casualties are not huge."

In fact, this sneak attack was mainly a rout. The Liang army only wanted to hold Beiguan and had no intention of killing a large number of Yan troops. Therefore, it seemed that the Yan army was defeated, but not many people died.

"What's the use?"

Zhou Weiran said bitterly: "I don't care whether 10,000 people die or 5,000 people die, what I want is Zhenbeiguan!

Without Zhenbeiguan, how to attack Chifeng City?

The difficulty of attacking Zhenbeiguan and Chifeng City is completely different!"

Zhou Weiran was also a general who had led troops for many years, and he was very aware of the importance of Zhenbeiguan's terrain.

Before, Zhenbeiguan was in his hands, but he didn't notice this. Now when Liang Jun moved, he found that Zhenbeiguan was blocking his life gate.

Zhou Weiran wanted to give himself two big mouths, why did he only react at this time?

Wanyanbi also realized the seriousness of the problem:

"Liang Jun came up with the best countermeasures in such a short period of time, which is really scary.

Your Majesty, please don’t forget that according to our previous intelligence, the Yungu Army should have been on the front line of Gyeonggi Province, but now it suddenly appeared at Zhenbeiguan.

What does it mean?

It shows that the Liang army has returned to aid Liaodong, but I don't believe that they only returned one Yungu army.

I'm afraid that the military strength in Liaodong has increased greatly at this moment."

"At this point, there is no other way!"

Zhou Weiran said with a ferocious face:

"Call the entire army to assemble, rebuild ordnance, withdraw the silver falcon flag with a yellow background, and prepare to attack Zhenbeiguan!"
Chapter completed!
