The rear army commanded by Chen Xuanzhen, if you count the requisitioned people and craftsmen, there are three or four hundred thousand people, and there are also a considerable number of armor soldiers and elite cavalry, but most of the generals are either escorting a chariot and horse team back to Yanjing in batches at this time, or they are escorting the chariot and horse convoy escorting food and armor away from Yanjing and on the way to Heyang, so that Chen Xuanzhen can only organize more than 2,000 cavalry in Guoziling in a hurry at this time, staring behind Huang Shuangsuo's department, unable to launch an attack in a short time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As for the more than 20,000 foot soldiers left in Guoziling by the rear army, they were all sent by Chen Xuanzhen to extinguish the fire in the granary of Houshan with all their might at this time.

Although the hundreds of granaries in the back mountain have been completely ignited, at this time the pillar of fire soars into the sky, the billowing smoke is directly cloudy, people standing outside the valley can feel the scorching heat rushing, and even cause a large-scale mountain fire, there is a tendency to spread to the front mountain, but the grain and grass of millions of soldiers and horses of the Xiyuan Army and the Zhulu Qinwang Army are concentrated in the back mountain, even if the fire is extinguished, it can grab 12/12 of the grain, and the army can support it for a few more days, so as not to run out of food immediately.

Chen Xuanzhen was also tormented in his heart at this time, on the one hand, he wanted to organize manpower as soon as possible to extinguish the fire, hoping to grab more food, and on the other hand, he couldn't let the Huang Shuangbu thief army escape and ascend to heaven, in that case, what face did he have to see His Royal Highness?

Tu Chongjin gathered more than 200 sentinels and more than a dozen war birds, and rushed over to meet Chen Xuanzhen, his face was more ugly than crying.

Tu Chongjin, as the chief sentinel of the Xiyuan Army, although he only has less than 3,000 men and horses, his 3,000 generals are all elite scouts who have at least the foundation of the late stage of the Xuan Realm.

In addition to more than 100 powerful spirit birds, the war horses straddled by the elite scouts of Tu Chongjin's department are also green and cunning horses at worst, and the main responsibility is to organize a strict reconnaissance network to keep an eye on every grass and tree inside and outside Ganquan Mountain, so that not a single mouse has a chance to slip through.

Who would have imagined that there would be such a big leak?

Huang Shuang, the thief general, led 3,000 soldiers and horses to attack the rear army camp and burn the granary, Chen Xuanzhen, as the commander of the rear army, naturally had to bear the responsibility of not guarding the camp strictly, but if you want to count it carefully, it is Tu Chongjin who has the greatest responsibility.

In the early years, Tu Chongjin guarded Qintong Pass, carelessly fell into the treacherous trick of Gong Liang, the Heavenly Master of the Red Mei Sect, and was coerced by the disciples of the Red Mei Sect to take away the Qintong Pass, and only less than two or three thousand people escaped from the tens of thousands of generals.

It is said that Tu Chongjin should have been pushed out to ask for the guilt, and then with the help of Chen Hai, he gathered the remnants of the army and entered Qintong Mountain to fight, expelled the exiled army and made war exploits, so that he was finally able to atone for his crimes and restore the general position of the general of the military captain, who would have thought that at this time, such a basket would be poked out again?

Seeing that Uncle Seven looked deeply shocked, Tu Ziji was also extremely entangled in his heart, and he didn't know whether to tell the truth to Uncle Seven, but he dragged it until this time to expose Chen Hai's identity, which seemed to have no special meaning, but if he didn't say it, if His Royal Highness the King was angry, he directly pushed out the Seventh Uncle who had missed the big event and beheaded him to show the public, who could stand up and plead?

"What's the reaction from His Highness?" Tu Ziji drove his horse, leaned over to Tu Chongjin, and asked in a suppressed voice.

"What can Your Highness do? My head is only temporarily placed on my neck, and His Highness has asked people to pass the word that if the thieves who attacked the camp escape, don't talk about my neck, I am afraid that the heads of your aunts and brothers and sisters will also be punished and will not be able to be saved." Tu Chongjin said with a sad face.

"......" Tu Ziji saw that although Uncle Seven had only gathered a small number of soldiers and horses to join them at this time, he had already decided to annihilate all the soldiers and horses that attacked the camp of the thief Huang Shuang, so that he could escape the punishment of capital from His Royal Highness the King of England, but he thought in his heart, if Uncle Seven knew that the thief army that attacked the camp was actually led by Chen Hai behind the scenes, what would he think in his heart?

"Seventh Uncle, have you ever thought that we may not be able to annihilate the thief army in front of us in the end?" Tu Ziji asked tentatively.

"Hmph, if it weren't for our negligence, we would never have made such a big basket, and His Royal Highness would have to attack the western foot camp of the thief army in one go at this time, so as not to suffer from the enemy on his back and not be able to free up his hands for the time being, but if this thief army has already appeared, and finally can escape and ascend to heaven, it will really make the world laugh and lose his big teeth!" Tu Chongjin said disdainfully.

Although Tu Chongjin and Chen Xuanzhen's soldiers were united, there were only more than 2,000 cavalry, and they were temporarily unable to directly eat the thief army that had opened a distance of more than ten miles, but at this time, in addition to informing the Zhulu Qinwang Army to send more elite cavalry to come over and converge, Qin Muhou Dong Shou had also led more than 20,000 Hexi iron cavalry to the south of the Stone Rat Ridge to intercept the soldiers and horses of the thief general Huang Shuangsuo.

And even if the thief Huang Shuang led his troops and the more than 20,000 cavalry of the thief Le Yi's department were brought together, Tu Chongjin was not afraid that they would be able to escape.

The Xiyuan Army does not want to fall into complete passivity, His Royal Highness must lead the main force at this time to capture the Heiyan Army's camp at the western foot of Ganquan Mountain in one go, and it is precisely like this, Tu Chongjin has no way to withdraw his elite scouts, but after the threat from the west is lifted, not only will the Xiyuan Army have hundreds of thousands of war horses to call, but the war bird battalion with fast action and strong combat power can also get out.

At that time, His Royal Highness only needs to send two or three hundred elites from the war poultry battalion to participate in the battle with war birds and crossbows, and it will be easy to annihilate twenty or thirty thousand enemy horsemen in the wasteland where the two counties of Heyang and Jiyang intersect.

******************************

The few remaining war birds of the Black Yan Army, like the Heavenly Machine Crossbow, were all gathered and retreated to Songdu Mountain first, so as to ensure that the Black Yan Army could still have strong combat effectiveness in Yanmen County in the future.

The camp at the northern foot that is destined to be sacrificed, 1450,000 soldiers and horses, only seven or eight very pitiful spirit birds in their hands, and they are all mounts around the generals. When these seven or eight spirit birds left Xiaolianshui City, Huang Shuang was all transferred to Le Yi, which was convenient for Le Yi and them to quickly gather the cavalry scattered in the south of the Stone Rat Ridge at dawn.

At this time, the crane mother-in-law was wounded, and her wings were shot through dozens of holes by quenched gold arrows, but she also insisted on transforming into a golden feather crane, and flew into the air to reconnoiter the enemy situation within two or three hundred miles under the cold wind.

Although only two or three thousand cavalry led by Chen Xuanzhen and Tu Chongjin were staring at the back more than ten miles away, and there was no threat, but on the outskirts, Dong Shou personally had more than 25,000 Hexi iron cavalry, which was interspersed from the southeast side of the Stone Rat Ridge, and the distance was only a hundred miles of snow, among which the five thousand elites led by Du Junfeng advanced faster forward.

Du Junfeng seems to have calculated that they will converge with Le Yi's department at the fastest speed, with the speed and direction of Du Junfeng's department's advance, probably when they meet Le Yi's department in a pine forest forty or fifty miles away, Du Junfeng will lead his troops to appear on the periphery of the pine forest and stick to them, and they will no longer be able to unscrupulously speed up and distance themselves from the pursuers.

The main force of the Xiyuan Army did not stop attacking the camp at the western foothills, and it could be seen that after the attack on the camp at Guoziling, even if he was angry, he could still keep a clear head, knowing that it was imperative to clear the threat of the Black Yan Army at the western foot of Ganquanling first, and then he could regain the initiative in the local area.

However, to the west of Ganquan Mountain, in addition to the Xiyuan Army, there are also the Eleventh Qinwang Army such as Hexi.

In addition to the two routes of soldiers and horses staring at Xiaolianshui City, the main city of the northern foot of the Heiyan Army, and the third-way soldiers and horses staring at the southern foot of the Heiyan Army, and in addition to the Hexi Qinwang Army, which has retreated to the inner line and pursued and killed, there are also five Qinwang troops, with a total of 120,000 soldiers and horses, which are deployed as the second echelon reserve soldiers and horses on the flank of the main force of the Xiyuan Army.

At this time, the British king Yingshu had already transferred 20,000 elite cavalry from the second echelon reserve troops and horses from two roads to outflank them.

A two-hundred-mile march in the snow was only a half-day journey for the most elite cavalry in the counties.

After experiencing the excitement of successfully burning down the enemy camp, the generals had to admit that the possibility of them breaking out was zero, when they took a hard look at the harsh reality.

The 30,000 cavalry led by Le Yi was almost gathered up after the night rush, and even seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses gathered to the west of the Stone Rat Ridge, and at this time they were avoiding the main force of the Hexi Qinwang army led by Dong Shou, and they wanted to rush over to join them, but these 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry were not elite, even if they confronted the Hexi Iron Cavalry head-on, it was impossible to win, let alone escape from the encirclement that would be as solid as an iron wall.

It is impossible for the two township-level celestial chariots to reverse such a big gap in combat power between the two sides.

However, the generals are not angry, nor depressed, they have the will to die when they go out of the camp and attack at night, although there is no hope of breaking through and escaping, but their inner line movement between Shiratling, Guoziling, and Ganquan Mountain can actually contain the soldiers and horses of the western line of Dayan to the greatest extent, so that the soldiers and horses in Xiaolianshui City are likely to break through and withdraw to Songdu Mountain.

At this time, an eagle chirp came from the extreme west, and I saw more than a dozen black shadows rapidly appearing between the clouds and the sky in the distance, led by a giant eagle with blue feathers.

Huang Shuang and the other generals reined in their horses and hesitantly looked at the dozen or so spirit birds flying from the west, not knowing whether they were friends or enemies; the dozens of spirit birds also stopped dozens of miles away, and they did not dare to approach rashly.

Chen Hai Angtian let out a long howl, summoning Qi Hanjiang and Han Wen when they rushed over to join him by spirit birds, and then he flew into the air, and arched his hand towards Huang Shuang and the others in mid-air: "Senior Brother Huang Shuang, after you lead your troops to join Senior Brother Le Yi, choose a place to hold on first, and I'll see if I can borrow a road to break through......"

"Borrow?" Huang Shuang looked at Chen Hai suspiciously, he really couldn't imagine that under the current situation, who would give way to let them go? Even if Chen Hai could persuade the Qinwang Army to let them go, in the Western Front battlefield, in addition to the 300,000 elite combat strength of the Xiyuan Army, there were a total of 11 Qinwang Army, would they let them go?

Of course, even if Chen Hai withdrew at this time, Huang Shuang would not have the slightest resentment.
