After Yuan Ting led the elite troops from Liaodong to arrive, Xu Gong, who had the advantage in military strength, immediately ordered the entire army to attack.
Qi Shence and Yuan Tingshan led their troops to attack the weak points of the Chu army's defense line. After paying heavy casualties, they finally broke through the Chu army's defense line.
The Chu army began to retreat, and Xu Gong ordered a pursuit in order to complete his victory in one battle.
The result was naturally that he stepped into the trap carefully prepared by Zhang Bianguan.
In the consecutive days of offensive and defensive battles with Xu Gong, Zhang Bianguan chose to combine reality with reality, thus exposing his flaws.
After Xu Gong attacked, he gave the illusion that the defense line had been penetrated by Yuan Tingshan and Qi Shence.
They withdrew for more than thirty miles in a row, discarding countless materials, weapons, and war flags along the way, creating the illusion of defeat and escape.
Xu Gong was indeed fooled. Seeing that the opportunity to end the stalemate at the Western Barrier was right in front of him, he continued to lead his army in pursuit.
Zhang Bianguan had already sent his elite teammate Han Liangchen to lead an ambush around the rear.
After Zhang Bianguan retreats to the designated location, immediately turn around and counterattack.
The Chu army, which had been lurking for a long time, rushed out from behind the Liyang army.
Under attack from three sides, Liyang was defeated and 130,000 troops were scattered in one fell swoop. Qi Shence, whom Liyang had placed high hopes on, was killed by Han Liangchen among the rebels.
If Yuan Tingshan hadn't led his elite bodyguards to fight to the death to rescue Xu Gong from the Chu army's siege, Xu Gong would have been trapped on the west wall.
When Xu Gong and Yuan Tingshan returned to the camp, they saw Chen Zhibao repelling the Chu army's sneak attack. They had been waiting for a long time.
It turned out that Chen Zhibao realized that Xu Gong would fall into the trap of opening the border.
After Xu Gong led the army in the camp to leave, Chen Zhibao immediately gathered 3,000 men and horses in the city and received the 5,000 men and horses left by Xu Gong in the camp without any hindrance.
Soon after Chen Zhibao took over the camp again, he received news of Xu Gong's defeat.
While Chen Zhibao was collecting the escaped soldiers and horses, he was building fortifications in the camp, waiting for the arrival of the Chu army.
In the past year, Chen Zhibao had fought many times with Zhang Bianguan, and Chen Zhibao knew that his opponent would never let go of any chance against his enemy.
Sure enough, not long after receiving the news of the defeat on the front line, the Chu army arrived.
However, after seeing Chen Zhibao's flag, he made a symbolic attack and retreated without hesitation.
Zhang Bianguan also understood that the opponent Chen Zhibao, whose main force was on Xu Gong's side, could be sent to attack the Liyang camp, but was just a partial division of the Chu army.
I have already told you that if you see Chen Zhibao's flag at Liyang Camp, you can withdraw it.
Following Zhang Bianguan's orders, the Chu generals who were partial to the division showed no interest in fighting and withdrew to join the larger Chu army.
In this battle, Zhang Bianguan beheaded 80,000 people and captured more than 30,000 Liyang troops.
If Chen Zhibao hadn't gathered the remaining soldiers in time and defended the camp, Xu Gong and Yuan Tingshan would have died on the west wall.
The Chu army, led by Zhang Bianguan, will also advance into the Liyang Huaihe River, a tax-rich area.
Xu Gong was defeated and the news of Qi Shence's death in battle spread back to Tai'an City, causing shock to both the Liyang government and the public.
After the war at Nanjiang Road, Liyang suffered another major defeat.
Out of 130,000 soldiers and horses, only 20,000 remained after this battle. Zhang Bianguan showed his sharp minions to the world and became the new military sage of Western Chu since Ye Baikui.
In this regard, after Zhao Zhuan dispersed the dynasty, he summoned Qi Yanglong and others for a day of discussion in Yangshen Temple and came to a conclusion.
Zhang Bianguan had to be dealt with by Chen Zhibao. Li Yang re-appointed Chen Zhibao as the commander-in-chief of the West Barrier and immediately increased his troops to 80,000.
Just to suppress Zhang Bianguan and prevent him from breaking into the two important areas of Huaihe River.
Li Yang also dealt with the defeated Xu Gong, demoting him to the rank of General of Jizhou and letting him return to Jizhou to continue running the defense line and concentrate on dealing with possible attacks from Beiliang.
As a guest army, Yuan Tingshan was not the commander of the battle, but he also rescued Xu Gong during the battle.
Therefore, Li Yang did not do anything to deal with it and let him return to Gu Jiantang's command to continue serving.
It was also because of this huge defeat that Li Yangchao Nei was completely convinced that he could turn the tide of the war by laying down the Western Barrier.
Since the West Barrier is in a stalemate, if you want to break the situation, you can only find a way from Lu Xiangsheng's side.
As a result, Li Yang continued to increase his support for Lu Xiangsheng.
This is also an important reason why Lu Xiangsheng was able to counterattack in less than a year when he was stationed on Jiangnan Road.
During this period, Liyang Jianghu was not idle either. Thanks to the intentional guidance of Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the propaganda of the martial arts people who had returned from Beiliang, there were constant rumors among the people that during the Liangmang War, Beiliang
heroic deeds.
A ballad is sung across the land of the Central Plains.
You only see and hear thousands of carps leaping over the dragon gate in Chaohu Lake! You only see Qingliang Mountain, and you don’t even count the famous stone monuments!
You see, you see gourds and skulls building the capital! You only see the skeletons of dead people supporting each other under the high wall!
You only see, you only see horses galloping in the north of Liangzhou whistling in the west wind! Only in the south of Bianguan can you see the sound of readings coming out of the broken house!
You only see, you only see 300,000 cavalry, armored all over the world! Only the people from Northern Liang can be seen. Every household is plain, and the Central Plains can enjoy peace!
This song describes the tragedy of Northern Liang during the Liangmang War.
It also made those who experienced the war in the South realize something that they had ignored for a long time.
How could Beiliang, a vassal territory with only three states and vassal kings with different surnames, defeat Beimang, which had millions of troops, without the support of Liyang?
This achievement has not been achieved even by the two Liao border armies that Liyang Dynasty has always boasted about.
The ballads were sung in Liyang, and the imperial court repeatedly banned them.
Therefore, when a new round of Liangmang war was about to begin, many martial arts people chose to enter Beiliang and rushed to Jubei City.
Among these people are a group of young martial arts masters such as Yu Groom, Jiang Huding, and Yu Dilong.
Wu Jian, the master of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, together with Wu Liuding and Wu Cuihua, took the Wu Family Hundred Swords to Jubei City.
In the third year of Xiangfu, at the autumnal equinox, Xu Fengnian, the king of Northern Liang, personally led 300,000 Northern Liang cavalry and stationed troops to resist Beicheng.
Beimang took out the final push and all 400,000 cavalry came out. However, the commander-in-chief should have been destroyed because of the Enlightenment Divine Armament, thus falling into the realm of Tuoba Bodhisattva, the military god of Beimang.
According to the intelligence sent back from Fushui Fang, Tuoba Bodhisattva not only did not collapse, but was even stronger than during the first Liangmang war.
Only Xu Fengnian knows the reason behind this.
Tuoba Bodhisattva's comeback is not a good thing for Beiliang.
With its prestige and strength in Beimang, it is enough to suppress all dissatisfied voices.
Dong Zhuo, Yang Yuanzan, Li Mibi and other important ministers and generals in Beimang were all under his command.
Even the Crown Prince of Beimang, the crown prince of the country, served in the Tuoba Bodhisattva Army together with his princess concubine Han Gu of Qi Le Jian Mansion, and personally visited the front lines to boost the morale of the Beimang Army.
Even the Qie Xue army guarding the last barrier of the imperial court was ordered to be led by Tuoba Bodhisattva.
Empress Beimang has made up her mind in this battle, and will be benevolent if she doesn't succeed.
The same is true for Beiliang. Snow Dragon Cavalry, Dragon Elephant Army, White Horse Congyi... Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan, Yan Wenluan, Zhou Kang, Lu Dayuan... and other world-famous elite veterans from Beiliang gathered in Jubei City.
Both sides, Beimang and Beiliang, brought out almost all their elites to stage a decisive battle in Jubei City, a new city established less than two years ago, that would determine the fate of the world in the future.
