Sima Xuan and Jiang San fought fiercely in the valley, and on the frontal battlefield of Yinhu Mountain, Ye Ling'er received the news that Sima Xuan was trapped, and she personally ordered all the forbidden troops to launch a fierce attack on Yinhu Mountain.

The local armies that had come to support and cooperate from the surrounding areas also attacked Yinhu Mountain from other directions.

These local troops, who usually bully the weak and fear the hard, are also very hard working in attacking Yinhu Mountain this time. It may be that he was usually suppressed by the forces of Yinhu Mountain, but this time he finally has the support of the imperial court, so he wants to return all his previous grievances to Yinhu Mountain.

After a while, a spy came to report to Jiang Dahu, saying that there were two hills on the east side of Yinhu Mountain, five camps had been broken by the Celestial Empire army, and one leader had surrendered with his subordinates.

When Jiang Dahu heard the news, he was so angry, he didn't expect that the local army he ignored would actually be able to break through his defense, let alone that the leader of Yinhu Mountain would surrender.

Jiang Dahu's face was pale, and he held the iron whip in his hand and wanted to kill the person who betrayed him in person, but he had to stay calm. He looked at the main battlefield in front of the mountain, although there were many people in Yinhu Mountain, they were still not optimistic. The more Jiang Dahu felt the pressure, the more he could calm down.

"Strategist, what do you think?"

Jiang Dahu eased his emotions, and then asked Fang Jue.

Fang Jue didn't want Silver Tiger Mountain to fight with the Celestial Empire army, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and it will not end so easily. Fang Jue could be regarded as having seen the strength of Silver Tiger Mountain, which was similar to what he expected, bandits with different orders and no professional training were naturally not the opponents of the Forbidden Army of the Celestial Empire.

"The big boss asked me if I was going to defend or how to retreat."

Fang Jue had already seen the defeat of Silver Tiger Mountain, and he had already thought of a plan for Silver Tiger Mountain's retreat.

But how could Jiang Dahu be willing, just to fight with the forbidden army of the Celestial Empire, and he still has more than 20,000 in his hand, he still wants to gamble, from the perspective of numbers, Yinhu Mountain is still overwhelming.

"I'm going to attack."

Jiang Dahu said unabashedly, he also wanted to compete with the regular army of the Celestial Empire with the strength of his Silver Tiger Mountain. He also knew that the situation at the moment had become difficult to ride a tiger, and if he retreated in such a hurry, I am afraid that the Silver Tiger Mountain would cease to exist in the future.

Fang Jue was pondering, and he couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to keep Silver Tiger Mountain, but also to make the Celestial Empire army retreat.

At this moment, Jiang Dahu got the news of the battle between Jiang San and Sima Xuan, and he had not been able to win a young general of the Celestial Empire for so long, Jiang Dahu was actually a little worried about his daughter Jiang San, after all, he had also seen Sima Xuan's rampage with his own eyes.

Jiang Dahu asked his henchmen to take people to support Jiang San, and also reminded Jiang San not to be reckless, if necessary, he could shoot arrows indiscriminately, and there was no need to leave anything alive, he had no intention of following Fang Jue's intentions, arresting people to negotiate with the Celestial Empire army.

Fang Jue and Jiang Dahu discussed tactics with several important leaders, relying on the steep terrain of Yinhu Mountain, Yinhu Mountain still had the ability to defend it.

It's just that some cottages that used to belong to Yinhu Mountain are closed at the moment, and few have come to support or cheer for Yinhu Mountain.

Watching the fire from the other side is the wisest choice, but it also makes Jiang Dahu understand which talents really follow him.

Jiang Dahu sent three groups of men, each of which was about 2,000 people, to go around the flank of the battlefield and the back of the forbidden army, preparing for a sneak attack.

Fang Jue did not approve or agree, because this was Jiang Dahu's self-conscious strategy. Naturally, the others also agreed with Jiang Dahu's strategy and began to prepare to dispatch people.

"Don't worry, the county lord, Sima Xuan's martial arts are outstanding, and he will be fine. I've got it all figured out, and the battle is almost over. Tan Zhao looked at Ye Ling'er a little anxious, he knew that Ye Ling'er boasted of Haikou, and he would definitely be able to take Sima Xuan back.

Ye Ling'er looked at Tan Zhao, she guessed the arrangement that Tan Zhao said.

Because when the army set out, Ouyang Jing, as the commander of the forbidden army, was ready to send Chu Liuyun to lead the troops, but the emperor rejected this proposal. It was changed to Tan Zhao, the son of the military department, to lead the army.

Although Chu Liuyun could not lead the troops, as the deputy commander of the forbidden army, he still let his henchman Yao Qi participate in the operation.

Yao Qi followed Chu Liuyun to serve in the forbidden army, but his position was not too high, he was just a commander of a thousand.

This time, Yao Qi also took 800 people to the expedition, but he did not go all the way with Tan Zhao, he discussed with Tan Zhao, one attacked the front of Yinhu Mountain, and the other attacked the flank of Yinhu Mountain.

Yinhu Mountain lost two peaks very quickly, which were all commanded by Yao Qi. Yao Qi joined some local armies, and there were no less than 10,000 people in his hands, which was comparable to the number of people in Tan Zhao's main face.

"What's his name?" Ye Ling'er asked.

"His name is Yao Qi, he is Chu Liuyun's person, don't worry, the county lord can rest assured, I know what to do, and the credit is always ours."

Of course, Tan Zhao knew that this Chu Liuyun was the son-in-law of Prime Minister Wang Si, and Wang Si was the opposite of Ye Yunchang, the king of Luoyang, how could he be so kind to let Chu Liuyun's people make meritorious contributions. He just wanted to use Yao Qi to contain Yinhu Mountain.

"The bandits of Silver Tiger Mountain finally can't hold their breath, and if they still want to sneak attack with this little trick, then the general will fulfill you."

Tan Zhao heard the sergeant's report that the people of Yinhu Mountain began to detour towards the two wings, and he was only divided into a thousand people, ready to intercept the enemy on one side, and on the other side, naturally Yao Qi guarded him, so he was not worried.

It didn't take long for a group of about 2,000 men and horses to appear on the left side of the Tanzhao camp. This side wants to attack Yinhu Mountain head-on, and also score troops to defend against the sneak attack of Yinhu Mountain, Tan Zhao is also commanding with ease, he is no longer the Tan Zhao who was surrounded by Fang Jue on the top of the mountain a year ago.

"I don't need a captive if I don't leave a single one."

Tan Zhao designed a trap, and then surrounded all the enemies who came to sneak attack, but in the face of the bandits who laid down their arms and surrendered, Tan Zhao would not have mercy, in his thoughts, only by killing all the bandits, the Celestial Empire could be completely peaceful.

Ye Ling'er didn't care about Tan Zhao's order at all, she was just concerned about Sima Xuan's safety at the moment, it had been so long, and there was still no news of Sima Xuan.

The frontal attack on Yinhu Mountain was met with stubborn resistance from Yinhu Mountain. Every time the Celestial Empire army was about to break through the last line of defense of Yinhu Mountain, it was suppressed by Yinhu Mountain's forced use of crowd tactics. Immediately afterwards, Yinhu Mountain quickly deployed several defenses.

This is a war of attrition, although there are more casualties in Yinhu Mountain, if it continues like this. When the Silver Tiger Mountain is really destroyed, there will be no more people left in the Celestial Empire's forbidden army.

Tan Zhao also saw the strategy of Yinhu Mountain, and he didn't want to be consumed on the main battlefield by himself. So let someone send an order to Yao Qi and let Yao Qi attack Yinhu Mountain with all his might.

After all, Tan Zhao was the commander of this crackdown on bandits, and Yao Qi had to accept it. It's just that the order came to Yao Qi, how Yao Qi carried it out, then Tan Zhao had no right to ask, and he couldn't understand the real purpose of Yao Qi being ordered to participate in this battle.
