After the war broke out on Yangxia's side, Huan Wen, who was in Zheng County, got the news that night. Originally, he planned to make persistent efforts, take advantage of this big victory to quickly go north, and take down the other counties of Xingyang County in one fell swoop, but after getting the news, he had to temporarily adjust his plan.

After a brief discussion with a group of generals and strategists, he decided to immediately lead an army of 10,000 to support Huan Chong. After all, the most powerful force of the Yan army in the south bank of the Yellow River should be Murong Chui.

If he can be wiped out in one fell swoop, the counties of Xingyang should be able to take it more easily. For this reason, there is nothing wrong with temporarily adjusting the previous plan.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of people was higher and the speed of the march was slower, he would even want to bring all the soldiers and horses in his hand with him.

This time, he personally led the support. In addition to Wang Xun and several other strategists, there were also some generals such as Deng Yao. As for the rest of the people, they all let him stay in Zheng County and stand by.

There is a distance of about 200 miles between Yangxia County and Zheng County, and if it is a cavalry, it will only take a few hours to arrive. But for the foot soldiers, even at the speed of a rapid march, it could not be too fast.

Although Huan Wen was anxious in his heart, he also knew that the reality was like this, and it was not something he could change. After consulting with Wang Xun and others, he decided to lead his army straight to the northwest of Yangxia County, and after crossing the vortex from there, he would kill behind Murong Chui's army.

If this idea is realized, Murong Chui's army will be sandwiched in the middle. With his current 20,000 soldiers and horses, if he encounters 30,000 Jin troops, he basically doesn't have much chance of winning. Especially if Huan Wen goes fast enough to achieve a surprise effect.

There are no mountains and hills between Zheng County and Yangxia County, and almost all of them are plains. The only things that bothered the march of the army were mainly the two rivers of the Lai Canal and the Whirlpool.

The canal was called the chasm during the Warring States period, flowing from north to south, and in the Han Dynasty, it was called the canal. And in the later generations, it will be called the Jialu River! However, in ancient times, the river was abundant, but in later generations it was much worse!

This river is about ninety miles away from Zheng County, and after crossing this river, it is still more than a hundred miles away from Yangxia County

By the second evening, it was finally on the west bank of the whirlpool. Because he was afraid of alarming the Yan army on the east bank, Huan Wenxuan crossed the river in the south of Guping Township, which was more than 30 miles north of Yangxia County.

Guping Township was the seat of Fugou County in the Western Han Dynasty, but later this county was abandoned, and the county border was incorporated into Yangxia County. The cluster is located on the west bank of the whirlpool, and there is a buttressed pavilion on the bank of the river, because there are many people coming and going, so there is a bridge here.

This is also one of the reasons why Huan Wen chose to cross the river here, because it is more convenient!

However, it will not be easy for 10,000 troops to cross the river in their entirety. When the color gradually darkened, the army was only two-thirds of the way through.

Fortunately, the cluster was not too far from the Yangxia battlefield, and Huan Wen was somewhat relieved. While he sent men to investigate the fighting in the south, he stepped up his crossing of the river.

But what he didn't know was that in an abandoned town not far north of the Futing, there were pairs of eyes watching their every move closely.

"My lord, the Jin army has already crossed most of it, if we don't act again, I'm afraid they will really cross the river!" In the darkness, a general of the Yan Army whispered to Sun Xi.

"Okay, give the order, act immediately!" Sun Xi nodded, and then ordered.

The things that Murong Chui explained to him were actually waiting for reinforcements from the Jin army here. Because he expected that if Huan Chong's side was attacked, the Huan Wen army, which was not too far away, should send reinforcements, and everything was developing as he expected.

Soon, Sun Xi's order was conveyed. After a while, figures emerged from the abandoned town and rushed towards the Jin army to the south.

"Kill!" When the two armies were about two miles apart, Sun Xi shouted angrily, as if he wanted to give away all the sullenness that had been defeated by Huan Wen before.

Then, the same shouts were heard from all directions, and in the dark night, I don't know how many people rushed towards the place where the Jin army was. In short, when the Jin army at this time heard this sudden shouting and killing, they immediately panicked.

Originally, Huan Wen was still thinking about how to wipe out Murong Chui's army after crossing the river. As soon as I heard this voice, I immediately realized that something was wrong. There was no time to make more arrangements, so he could only order the army to stop crossing the river and defend on the spot.

Darkness has always been the best cover for sneak attacks, and under this situation, the Yan army, which was waiting for work, rushed towards the already exhausted Jin army. The battle immediately began, and on both sides of the whirlpool, the Yan army led by Sun Xi fought a perfect blocking battle.

At this time, Huan Wen somewhat understood. Murong Chui's attack on Yangxia County was fake, and the real purpose was probably to encircle the point and send reinforcements, and he came to his own way.

But at this time, there is no way to wake up. In the darkness of the night, he didn't know how many enemy troops were coming, so he could only try to gather the army in one place. At the same time, send someone to find a way to inform the army left behind in Zheng County and Yangxia Huanchong.

And he himself, at this moment, can only lead the army that has crossed the river and fight and retreat, and retreat south along the vortex to Yangxia County. If it goes well, it should be able to meet with the Huan Chong army soon, and it should be safer by then.

Outside Yangxia City, the battle between Huan Chong and Murong Chui has already been going on for two. At the beginning, Murong Chui attacked for a while, but because Huan Chong was tightly guarded, he was not able to cross the river. In the evening he did not attack again, but set up camp on the east bank.

The second Bai, Murong Chui attacked again, but there was still nothing he could do about Huan Chong. And Huan Chong was also worried that he might ambush him, so he was just resisting under the city on the west bank of the whirlpool.

"It's strange, Murong Chui didn't attack last night, why didn't there be a truce tonight?" At night, Murong Chui's attack continued from Bai to the night without stopping, which made Huan Chong feel very strange after seeing it.

However, no matter when the opponent attacks, you just need to defend tightly. When he thought about this, he was much more relieved.

"General Qiyu, something is wrong!" Just when he was wondering, someone hurriedly ran over and reported with a panicked face.

"What's going on, looking so flustered, what's the system? Take it easy! Seeing Lairao's appearance, Huan Chong was dissatisfied.

"It's the Great General! The general led his army to support us, but was ambushed by the Yan army near Futing in the north. It was sent by the general, please send troops north to support immediately! The person who came hurriedly said.

"What? The general was ambushed? Hearing this, Huan Chong, who was still calm just now, couldn't help but exclaim.

Now he completely understands that he was tricked by Murong Chui. Murong Chui did arrange an ambush, but it was not to ambush himself, but to ambush Huan Wen's reinforcements. Moreover, Murong Chui did not stop fighting tonight, obviously just to drag himself down.

This time, Huan Chong was a little anxious, after all, once Huan Wen had an accident, it would be a fatal event, especially for the Huan family. After thinking of this, he immediately sent a general to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to the north to meet the retreat of Huan Wen.

If it weren't for Murong Chui's eyes on the east coast, I'm afraid he would have gone directly with his army.

And as soon as the army on his side moved, Murong Chui's side immediately found out. Murong Chui, who had long known about the war in the north, knew that the opportunity had come at this time. Immediately he ordered the whole army to storm violently, set up temporary bridges from all over the whirlpool, and began to rush across the river.

In this way, the pressure on Huan Chong suddenly increased. There was no way, he had to order the whole army to fight.

This night can be described as very chaotic, the entire vicinity of Yangxia City is in a mess, and the sound of shouting and killing has not stopped from night to dawn. Although the Jin army resisted bravely, because the news of Huan Wen being ambushed shocked the morale of the army to a certain extent, it was finally killed by Murong Chui's army across the river.

This battle was very fierce, and after Huan Wen was received by Huan Chong, he finally led some soldiers and horses to the north of Yangxia County. And the army led by Sun Xi also chased after him, so all the soldiers and horses on both sides collided.

The battle began in the evening and ended in the morning of the second neighboring day. It was not because the two sides had already divided the victory and defeat, but because Huan Wen decided to gather the army into the city and wait for reinforcements from Zheng County.

Under the desperate cover of the soldiers, in the end, Huan Wen and Huan Chong led part of the army to retreat into the city.

Although Murong Chui wanted to capture this city, after a series of battles, the soldiers under his command were already a little powerless, so they had to temporarily station on both sides of the vortex and surround Yangxia City.

In Yangxia City, since entering the city, Huan Wen has not said a word. The generals and strategists beside him were all the same at this time, basically every Rao was stained with a lot of blood, but everyone didn't have the heart to care about it.

"General, the number of people has already been counted. Now there are about 12,000 people left in Yangxia City, and many of them are supportive! Judging from the situation outside the city, there should be more than 30,000 people on Murong Trai's side, and we are far inferior in terms of numbers! After being silent for a long time, Huan Chong walked in from outside the door, and said with a somewhat heavy expression.
