After crossing the river, the cavalry of the Yan army found that there were not many enemies to kill in front of them, so they chased them in other directions. But what they didn't notice was that at this time, more than ten miles north of the city, the 5,000 army led by Huan Yun had quietly divided into several roads and approached the east and north.

These people didn't even hit the torches, anyway, they just rushed over along the fire in the direction of the county seat. However, when they reached the river, they did not immediately cross the bridge to join Huan Wen and them, but began to destroy the bridge.

These bridges come in a variety of forms, some are of stone and some are of wood. But no matter which one it was, at this moment, in the hands of the Jin soldiers, they were all collapsed and sank into the water.

And Sun Xi, who was chasing the soldiers of the Jin army under the city, did not notice this movement a few miles behind them.

In a short period of time, there was no longer a bridge for people to cross the river on the east and north sides of Qinshui.

But Huan Yun's army did not leave there, but stationed on the spot, guarding these possible places to cross the river. Especially in the north of the county, because there is no east-west river blocking it, it is the only place that can be washed out by the Yan army.

Therefore, Huan Yun put most of his troops here to hold on. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to inform Huan Wen and asked him to send someone over to support.

When Huan Yun and the others moved, Huan Wen was in the west and south of the city, and was ordering the army to withdraw in an orderly manner to the other side of the river. After these armies withdrew to the other side, they immediately changed their previous appearance of being chased and killed, and soon finished their formation.

When the people sent by Huan Yun came, almost all the Jin troops under the county had already withdrawn from the river. At this time, outside the county seat of Zheng County, only Yan Jun himself was left.

At this time, Sun Xi finally sensed that something was wrong. So, he gathered all the soldiers and horses in his hands and prepared to kill the river.

However, by this time, he found that all the bridges above the Weishui in the west and south of the city had been occupied by the Jin army. The Jin soldiers were firmly on the other side of the bridge, and once the cavalry on their side wanted to rush over, they would immediately be attacked fiercely.

Several waves of charges launched in a short period of time were ultimately futile, and his men lost a lot of soldiers. Seeing this situation, Sun Xi had no choice but to order the soldiers to withdraw to the city first, and at the same time send people to investigate the surrounding situation in order to find a way out.

"General, no, a large number of traces of the Jin army have also been found on the east bank of Qinshui, and besides, all the bridges over there have been destroyed!" Soon, the spies sent out came back to report.

"What about the north? Where is it possible to get out? Sun Xi immediately asked.

"The north is blocked by a large number of Jin troops, and they are waiting in formation!" The spy replied with a sad face.

After hearing the news, Sun Xi's heart couldn't help but start sinking. Especially the soldiers around couldn't help but panic.

After all, this Zheng County can almost be located on an isolated island at this time, without bridges and enemy blockades, I am afraid that these people can only be trapped here.

The only good news is that the county is under its own control. If it doesn't work, you can retreat into the city and hold on, and you don't have to worry about supplies for a while.

"General, what shall we do?" The surrounding generals asked in a low voice.

"Let's go out from the north. I don't believe that the opponent's thousands of soldiers and horses can withstand the onslaught of our 8,000 cavalry! Sun Xi thought for a while, and then said loudly.

His words finally reminded the panicked soldiers of their identity, and their confidence immediately increased. Soon, under the command of Sun Xi, a group of Yan soldiers rushed towards the north of the city.

It was Huan Yun who was guarding the north of the city, and at this time he had already received the support of Huan Wen, and the five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands were placed outside the north of the city. The place where they were located was the narrowest place outside the moat in the north of the city, between the Qinshui in the east and the Weishui in the west.

In this way, 5,000 soldiers and horses almost blocked the place completely. About half an hour later, the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was deafening, and it came to him, and Huan Yun knew that the real test had arrived.

"Prepare, we must not let the enemy rush past us!" Huan Yun shouted to the soldiers beside him.

The only thing they could rely on was bows and arrows, and other than that, spears. The shield at the front formed a wall, keeping everyone behind.

With this formation alone, it is basically in line with common sense, as long as the soldiers and generals are single-minded, there should not be much of a problem.

After Sun Xi led the people to kill, he saw the tight Jin army formation in front of him from a distance, and his heart became more and more worried. But at this time, it was impossible for him to turn back, so he could only order to continue the charge.

In this dark night, under the watchful eyes of the defenders of the city, between the two rivers, Sun Xi's cavalry crashed headlong into Huan Yun's military formation.

The air was filled with the sound of sharp arrows whistling by, and no one knew anyone in the night, anyway, they only knew that it was the enemy who was riding in front of them, and they were desperately firing arrows and assassinating desperately.

When Huan Yun's side was fighting, Huan Wen's side quickly got the news. This time, in order to prevent Sun Xi and them from escaping, he distributed more than 30,000 horses and horses along the river and arranged a big encirclement.

Even so, he was still worried that Huan Yun's side would not be able to support it. Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to gather all the only 3,000 cavalry in his hands, and then ordered someone to kill him across the river and attack Sun Xi's soldiers and horses with Huan Yun.

The leader of the troops is Jingling Taishou Deng Yao, this person is not ordinary, he is not only born behind a famous family, the ancestor is the Eastern Han Dynasty Taifu Deng Yu. And his people are brave and abnormal, at this time he is known as the first fierce general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and is compared to Fan Xu.

I think that when Huan Wen was in the Northern Expedition to Qin, he was pursued by Fu Chang and his army in the retreat, and when he was in Tongguan, he had already lost several battles and lost tens of thousands of men and horses. Thanks to the fact that after the army was broken, Fu Chang was injured with an arrow, so that the former Qin army did not dare to pursue anymore, allowing Huan Wen to withdraw safely.

In the past, there was a dragon in the water in Xiangyang, when Deng Yao drew his sword and jumped into the water to fight it, and finally killed the dragon. Of course, the so-called dragon in that era should be a crocodile, but even so, it shows Deng Yao's bravery.

After receiving Huan Wen's order this time, he immediately stepped on his war horse and crossed the Weishui again to kill behind Sun Xi. It didn't take long for his soldiers and horses to be killed directly.

Sun Xi, who was originally attacking the Huanyun army formation and wanted to break through from the north, after getting the news, hurriedly divided a part of the cavalry to resist them.

The defenders inside the city saw the battle outside the city, and although they had the heart to save them, they were powerless at all. Especially at this time, when Huan Wen was eyeing the other side, they didn't even dare to move.

After this night's fighting, Sun Xi's troops were attacked from the north and south, and Zheng, who was besieged by the two armies, although they were all cavalry, could not be deployed at all in such a narrow area. So much so that after the color was bright, the battle situation had already begun to tilt towards the Jin army.

The Jin army, under the leadership of Huan Yun and Deng Yao, surrounded them to the death, so except for some people who directly floated across the river, the other Yan soldiers were either killed or captured.

Sun Xi saw the opportunity early, and when he saw that the situation was difficult to achieve, he no longer thought about killing him directly, but ordered all the troops to flee for their lives. As a result, many people abandoned their horses and jumped into the water to cross the river and fled.

After this battle, after cleaning up the battlefield, Sun Xi's 8,000 cavalry had less than 1,000 people who fled. Although Huan Yun and Deng Yao's subordinates also lost a lot of people, it was already a very big victory for Huan Wenlai.

After receiving the news that all the enemy troops had been destroyed, Huan Wen, who was overjoyed, immediately led his army back to the city. At this time, the defenders in the city who witnessed the process of Sun Xi and others being wiped out also completely lost their fighting spirit and directly surrendered the city.

In this way, after the victory of Xuchang, Huan Wen went to the next city and won an important victory. For him, what he wants to do now will not be affected too much.

Huan Wen gathered his army and temporarily stayed in Zheng County. At the same time, he sent people to urgently enter the customs and urged Li Xin's side to send troops as agreed, so as to form a situation of a north-south attack.

When the Great War of Zheng County was raging, Murong Chui personally led an army of 40,000 and was stationed at the junction of Yongqiu and Xiangyi counties. These two counties are under the jurisdiction of Chenliu County, and they are the two southeasternmost counties among the ten counties.

The reason why he will be stationed here is because more than a hundred miles south from here is Chen County, which has just been captured by Huan Chong's army. According to Murong Chui's previous plan, it was to quickly go south to fight a decisive battle with Huan Chong's army and destroy it as soon as possible.

However, the changes on the Xuchang side affected his plans, because Xuchang was not particularly far from Chen County. Therefore, he must consider what to do once he starts a war with Huan Chong's army, and Huan Wen personally leads the army south to support.

The good news is that Huan Chong's army has begun to move north, and will soon reach Yongqiu and Xiangyi counties. So, it saved him time to go south. Moreover, I heard that Huan Wen's army had already gone north to attack Zheng County, and it was farther away from his side.

But just when he was ready to wipe out all the Huan Chong army with superior forces, Sun Xi, who had escaped death, ran back and brought him great bad news.

"First the defeat of Fu Mobo Suiyang, and now the defeat of your Zheng County, which caused my entire plan to collapse, and it is impossible to act as planned before!" After hearing the news, Murong Chui couldn't help but sigh and said helplessly.
