Shangguan Yuanrang's bravery was unmatched by ten thousand people. Even though he lost his horse and was trapped deep in the Ning army's camp, he was still unstoppable. Soon, he forced his way through the Ning army's camp and ran to

A Ning Army regiment commander on horseback approached, and after only two encounters, he chopped the regiment commander on his horse. He flew on his horse, immediately slashed his sword, and shouted loudly: "Where is Zhan Wudi? Why don't you come out and die soon?"

Wow - Shangguan Yuanrang's cry frightened the surrounding Ning army to death, and people involuntarily retreated. At this moment, the cavalry team that came out at the same time as him also arrived. Shangguan Yuanrang saw his subordinates following him, and he looked up to the sky and laughed.

He laughed twice, brandished his sword and said, "Brothers, follow me back to fight!"

"kill--"

The five thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, their morale was high, and they followed Shangguan Yuanrang and charged back to kill him.

The great thing about Shangguan Yuanrang is not just his unfathomable cultivation and extremely powerful spiritual martial arts, but his bravery can inspire the fighting spirit and potential of the soldiers around him.

100% combat effectiveness. With Shangguan Yuanjing present, people can exert 200% combat effectiveness. With Shangguan Yuanjing leading the charge, people can rush through without fear even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.

.

Shangguan Yuanrang led the cavalry from the Ning Army's camp to fight back to the gate of Tongmen City. Without any delay, he turned his horse's head and charged into the Ning Army's camp again. Five thousand cavalry came and went in the Ning Army's camp.

, going in and out, killing ten times, the attacking Ning army was torn to pieces, and finally could no longer hold on, the front army began to rout from the center downwards, and then evolved into a complete rout of the front army.

Once the army was defeated, in order to prevent their own personnel from trampling on each other, the central army and the rear army were forced to retreat. The 200,000 Ning army commanded by Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Weudi were defeated by the 5,000 Ning army led by Shangguan Yuanrang.

The cavalry was killed in a rout thousands of miles away.

After this battle, both sides again calculated that the 200,000 Ning army lost more than 50,000 troops, while the 53,000 navy troops guarding Dongcheng suffered only less than 10,000 casualties. The most surprising thing is that those who followed Shangguan Yuanrang

The five thousand cavalrymen who fought out of the city suffered only five hundred casualties. The losses were so small that it was incredible.

Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi retreated all the way back to their own camp. On the observation deck in the camp, looking at the outline of Tongmen in the distance, Zhan Wushuang sighed quietly, looked up to the sky and said: "Now that the world can resist a country with the power of one person,

There is only one Shangguan Yuanrang!"

Even from a hostile standpoint, Zhan Wushuang had to sincerely admire Shangguan Yuanrang's bravery and invincibility. His bravery was unprecedented and probably unprecedented.

Zhan Wudi, who was so arrogant and had eyes as high as his head, stood beside his brother and just sighed softly without saying anything.

Shangguan Yuanrang did not retreat and defend Tongmen, but went out to fight in person, killing the attacking Ning army and defeating it. Liang Qi on the side was not so relaxed. More than 30,000 Sanshui troops relied on the height and strength of the west city wall to fight to the death.

Resist the 200,000-strong Central Army of the Ning Kingdom commanded by Ming Xiaotian. The bloody battle between the two sides was fierce and the losses were heavy. Especially the Ning army on the siege side, which often had a regiment on top of it, could not be organized within an hour, and the soldiers fell.

The fight lasted for most of the afternoon and into the middle of the night. Ming Xiaotian could no longer hold on any longer. In addition, Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wudi had already been defeated and returned to the main camp. He had no intention of fighting anymore and hastily ordered to withdraw his troops.

After this battle, Ming Xiaotian had to re-estimate the strength of the Tianyuan Army in Tongmen and did not dare to launch an attack hastily. The Ning State Central Army led by Ming Xiaotian and the Ning Army led by Zhan Wushuang and Zhan Wuwei had only

Separated by a city, it is difficult to join together, but the Tongmen in the middle has become an insurmountable barrier for the two armies, and completely blocked the Zhan brothers' return home.

There was a fierce battle on the Tongmen side, and Zhong Tian of Yancheng was not idle either.

Waiting for the Tianyuan Army to attack would be like waiting for death. The counselors under his command came to see Zhong Tian one after another, asking him to take advantage of Tang Yin's injury to take the initiative to attack the main force of the Tianyuan Army in Lehu County.

Zhong Tian also felt that this was an opportunity, but he really couldn't make up his mind on who to send and how many troops to send.

At this time, his advisers gave him another idea and suggested that General Zhong Wu should lead the 200,000-strong Central Army to go on an expedition.

First of all, Zhong Wu is a prince. Commanding an army by him is almost the same as Zhong Tian Yujia personally marching, which can boost the morale of the entire army. Secondly, Zhong Wu has outstanding spiritual martial arts and can be regarded as a rare warrior. If he can fight on the battlefield

Killing a few generals of the Tianyuan Army might be able to reverse our current disadvantage.

After listening to the opinions of the ministers, Zhong Tian secretly grinned. Now the only son he loved was Zhong Wu. If he sent Zhong Wu to go on an expedition, what if he followed in the footsteps of his brother Zhong Wen? Then he would not even be the son of a son.

There are no sons who can be reused.

Zhong Tian was really reluctant to send Zhong Wu to the expedition. He looked around at the generals under his command and said quietly: "A thousand days of raising an army is spent in a moment. Could it be that none of the generals under my command dare to stand up and take on the responsibility when the country is in danger?"

An important one?"

Zhong Tian was not a military strategist, but he was definitely an outstanding politician. He said one sentence that made all the generals under his command blush. At this time, a middle-aged general stepped out, stepped in and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, at the end of the day, the general wishes

Take command of the king’s army and conquer the rebels!”

Hearing the words, Zhong Tian's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at the general who had invited him, and he nodded. Among the generals, he was the only one who could take on this important task.

This middle-aged general was named Ziying, and he was one of the few good generals under Zhong Tian who was both experienced in fighting and good at running an army. Zhong Tian was very happy and asked, "How many troops will General Ziying bring to the expedition?"

Ziying sighed secretly. The current total strength of Yancheng's troops was only 200,000. Even if he led them all out, he would not be able to fight head-on with the Tianyuan Army. He pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the last general will lead a hundred thousand soldiers to go out!"

"One hundred thousand?" Zhong Tian was startled and asked hurriedly: "General Ziying only led one hundred thousand soldiers. Isn't it... too few?"

Ziying cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I can only focus on defense in this battle, try my best to hold back the Tianyuan Army and prevent it from going south. If Your Majesty expects the general to defeat the Tianyuan Army, the general... is full of ambition but not strong enough!

"

Although Zhong Tian felt a little disappointed after hearing this, he still nodded and accepted Ziying's statement. After all, with an extra barrier outside Yancheng, he would be a little more safe. He asked: "Does General Ziying have any

Confidence to withstand the Tianyuan Army?"

"There are many soldiers in Tianyuan, and I am not completely sure. However, I am willing to fight to the death and never retreat even a step to repay the kindness of your Majesty!" Ziying's words were sonorous and powerful, which also made Zhong Tian very happy.

move.

Not knowing whether the old man was sincere or fake, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, picked up the military talisman of the Central Army from the table, walked up to Ziying, handed the military talisman to him, and said: "General Ziying,

The lives of my king, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the lives of nearly a million people in the city are all left to you. If the general wins, Yancheng will survive. If the general loses, our country, Peng, will perish."

Ziying's eyes were red at this time. He knelt down on one knee, raised his hands to take the military talisman, and said in a trembling voice: "The last general will do his best to defend our capital!"

Zhong Tian worshiped Ziying as his commander, and commanded a hundred thousand Central Army troops to march out of Yancheng and set up camp at the foot and top of a mountain called Huya Mountain on the border of Lehu County.

Ziying was not an ordinary general, and the place he chose to camp was just right.

Huya Mountain is located on the only way to Yancheng. The official road is at the foot of the cliff. If the Tianyuan Army wants to pass through here, it must eliminate all the Central Army stationed on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, the Central Army on the mountain will be condescending.

, just throwing rocks from above would be too much for the Tianyuan Army below.

And Ziying camped in two camps, one on the mountain and one at the bottom of the mountain. If he wanted to kill up the mountain, he had to capture the Peng army camp at the foot of the mountain first. If he attacked this camp, the Peng army on the mountain would charge back from the mountain.

Come down, use the camps at the foot of the mountain to resist the Tianyuan Army. The two camps can be said to echo each other, forming a horn-like situation.

In addition, Ziying has made preparations for a long-term battle and has stockpiled a large amount of food and grass on the mountain. As for defensive facilities such as rolling logs and rolling stones, it is convenient. Huya Mountain is full of stones, which is enough for Peng's army to use for defense.

After setting up camp and making corresponding deployments and arrangements, Ziying began to patrol around the mountain and the foot of the mountain. He sighed and shook his head secretly as he watched. Huya Mountain is indeed a dangerous place. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. What he has set up there is

There's nothing wrong with the camp, it's very solid and solid. The only drawback is the people.

If the previous 100,000 Central Army troops were stationed here, Huya Mountain would definitely be as solid as iron plate. Even if millions of enemy troops came, it would not be a concern. However, the current Central Army is too far behind.

Some of these 100,000 people are civilians, some are homeless refugees, and some are slaves and domestic servants. Will an army of 100,000 people composed of just such a group have any combat effectiveness? Will it really go to the battlefield?

, will he be frightened to the point of weakness by the enemy before fighting? Regarding these issues, Ziying has no confidence in his heart, and his heart is very heavy.

Ziying led an army of 100,000 troops to station at Huya Mountain, and the Tianyuan Army's spies immediately spread the news back to Xibaicheng.

After receiving the news, Qiu Zhen immediately summoned all the generals and counselors of the Tianyuan Army to discuss countermeasures.

None of the generals and counselors of the Tianyuan Army were given for free. People heard that the Peng Army was stationed in Huya Mountain, and after checking the map, they immediately understood the other party's intentions. The Peng Army planned to use the mountain to guard the road and prevent its own army from going south.

.

Peng Haochu advised Qiu Zhen that he must immediately send troops to attack the 100,000 Peng troops stationed on Huya Mountain. Otherwise, if he waits for them to gain a firm foothold and then tries to attack by force, the losses will inevitably increase greatly.

All the generals had the same idea as Peng Haochu. They all believed that the battle could not be postponed until Tang Yin came back. They must attack and defeat the enemy before they had a firm footing.
