In Yingzhou Jiedu Mansion, Huang Qian summoned Gu Yong, Mao Anfu and others to discuss matters.

"The decisive battle is tonight!"

Huang Yan looked at Gu Yong and said in a deep voice: "Gu Yong, you lead 3,000 soldiers to guard the north city gate, if Huang Baichuan leads the army to attack, you can defend it, and if you can't defend it, you will retreat into the city, fight with it, and delay time as much as possible." ”

"Yes, General."

Gu Yong got up and bowed and took the order.

"Huang Baichuan thought that I was killed by the assassins, the army was in chaos, and the generals under him had no intention of defending the city and would break through from the north city gate, so Huang Baichuan must have led the main force to ambush and outside the north city gate, I personally led eight thousand soldiers, by surprise, from the south city gate, defeated the enemy outside the city, and then the whole army went around the north city, killing Huang Baichuan's main army from behind, success or failure in one fell swoop, if it can be won, the entire battle situation will be greatly changed."

Mao Anfu struck with both fists and said excitedly: "This time is really embarrassing, tonight's battle will definitely let Huang Baichuan know that I am waiting for a lot." ”

"You two quickly go and gather the troops and horses of the headquarters, get ready, and in an hour, we will start moving."

Huang Yu gave the final order, and Gu Yong and Mao Anfu retreated with fists.

"Li Xun, will you stay in the city, or will you come with me?"

Li Xun thought about it, Huang Xun led 8,000 people out of the city, against Huang Baichuan's 20,000 people, this is a game of death, once the fight starts, it must be extremely tragic, his own small body, one more is not more, one less is not less, I am afraid it is safer to stay in the city.

"General, I'd better stay in the city to assist General Gu in defending the city!"

........

Huang Baichuan's guess was not wrong at all, Huang Baichuan did lead 15,000 soldiers to ambush ten miles away from the north city gate, while the front south gate only left 5,000 soldiers.

Late at night.

At this time period, it should be the time to fall asleep, but there is no Huang Baichuan's side, and Huang Baichuan's side is not either.

The rain was heavy again, the temperature was very low, and each soldier under Huang Baichuan was given two beef pancakes and a bowl of hot broth, as well as a small amount of wine, and the food was very rich, and everyone understood that this was the last meal before the war.

A moment.

A vacant lot near the south gate of Yingzhou City, at this moment, there were eight thousand soldiers gathered, Huang Qian was at the front, he looked back behind him, his face was extremely serious, he raised his hand to the air, looking at the soldiers who were nervous or excited... Wait and wait, looking at those familiar or unfamiliar faces, how many people will survive tonight?

Huang Zhen pursed his lips vigorously, raised his hand, and waved it down suddenly.

The south gate opened, and Huang Yu rushed out first, followed by Mao Anfu.

Li Xun stood on the city wall, looking at the black torrent below galloping out, murderously killing towards the enemy camp not far away, Li Xun's palm holding the hilt of the sword couldn't help but use force, the whole mind became nervous in vain, and there was a trace of excitement in it, tonight's battle will be extremely critical, Huang Xun can lead everyone to victory, so as to change the direction of the entire battle?

Huang Xian acted here, and Huang Baichuan on the other side was also ready at this moment, he wanted to attack the city at night, take Yingzhou City in one fell swoop, completely eliminate Huang Zhen's army, and let Yang Liecheng, who was in Hongzhou, have no worries, so tonight's battle is also very important for him.

Huang Baichuan rode on his horse, looked at the black and oppressive soldiers, and silently killed towards Yingzhou City, but his mood at the moment was very depressed, and there was an indescribable feeling.

"Zhiwen, with those few rangers, can you really kill Huang Xu? Isn't it a little too impulsive for us to do this? ”

Huang Baichuan said in a heavy tone.

Huang Zhiwen said: "Regardless of whether those people killed Huang Zhi or not, we attack the city at night, it is a great opportunity, if we can succeed, it is naturally the best, even if the siege is not taken, it is only the loss of some soldiers and horses, it can't hurt our foundation, Baichuan, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Huang Baichuan nodded silently, although Huang Zhiwen said so, his mood still did not get any relaxation.

Li Xun stood at the head of the city, his side had already prepared, when the other party rushed to a hundred meters away, Gu Yong gave a loud order, five hundred archers fired in unison, and in the dark night, there was a miserable scream.

The soldiers of the other side swarmed like a tide, and a fierce battle and fighting began at the head of the city.

On the other side, Huang Bai led 8,000 soldiers and caught the other party off guard, Huang Baichuan's 5,000 soldiers left here couldn't resist, collapsed, and more than 3,000 people were killed, and the rest of the remnants of the army scattered and fled.

Huang Zhi then led the army towards the northern city to kill.

An hour passed quickly, and Huang Baichuan saw that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "The other party is obviously prepared, and our army can't attack it for a long time, how can it be good?" ”

Huang Zhiwen was also quite surprised: "Can Huang Zhi anticipate the enemy and the first? Prepare at the North City Gate early, since the other party has been prepared, we still retreat first, and we are making plans. ”

Huang Baichuan nodded, and was about to order the withdrawal of the army, when at this time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and the cavalry was rushing towards this side.

This is....

The faces of Huang Baichuan and Huang Zhiwen changed suddenly.

Chengping five years, August 20, night!

Huang Bai took Huang Baichuan by surprise and defeated Huang Baichuan's 20,000 troops, and Huang Baichuan led the remnants of more than 5,000 people to retreat in the direction of Mi County.

Zhao Bo'an learned the news and led an army of 40,000 to retreat towards Yingzhou.

Zheng Ze learned the news of Huang Baichuan's defeat, and immediately led the army to attack several times, intending to defeat Zhao Bai'an's army.

Chengping 5th year, August 22.

After Zhao Bo'an led an army of 40,000 to successfully enter Yingzhou City, Huang ordered Mao Anfu and Gu Yong to defend the city, and then led 25,000 troops with Zhao Bo'an to Hongzhou to relieve the danger of Liangcheng.

Although Huang Baichuan was defeated in Yingzhou City, Zheng Ze and others still had a total of 30,000 troops.

Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang's meaning is to surrender Xiangzhou and write to the imperial court in order to protect themselves, while Huang Baichuan has a strong intention to not estimate Yingzhou City, directly from Goat Pass, enter Hongzhou, join Yang Liecheng's army, and fight with Huang Xu.

The two sides disagreed, and a fierce quarrel broke out.

Chengping 5th year, August 23.

Huang Zhi and Zhao Bo'an led an army of 25,000 and stationed in Anxian County, Yang Liecheng was terrified, and while sending a message to Zheng Ze and asking them to lead the army to converge, he retreated to Jixian County, fifty miles away from Liangcheng.

"Baichuan, Zheng Ze and they led 15,000 soldiers and horses from their headquarters and retreated to Xiangzhou."

Huang Zhiwen hurriedly rushed into Huang Baichuan's tent and said urgently.
