The battle of Jingzhou has lasted for some time, and the war has gradually fallen into a state of anxiety, but generally speaking, the Ming army still has a certain upper hand by virtue of the advantage of troops.

In Jingzhou City, after Sun Kewang learned that the Ming army was going to attack Yiling, he guessed the intention of the Ming army and did not dare to act rashly.

He first asked people to investigate, and sure enough, he found the activities of the Ming army in the area of Songzi, and knew that the Ming army intended to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and wanted him to save Yiling, and then cut off his way back to Jingzhou, and attacked the Ming army in Yiling before and after, and wiped him out outside Yiling City.

In view of this, Sun Kewang expected that Feng Shuangli's 15,000 men and horses would have no problem holding on for a period of time, so instead of saving Yiling, he raided the Ming army camp opposite the public security.

The Ming general Zhang Xianbi was unprepared, and was defeated by Sun Kewang, and the Ming army retreated more than 30 miles in defeat, losing more than 5,000 people before returning to the village.

At this time, outside the newly established camp of the Ming army, the rumbling war drums sounded, and the western army continued to attack the Ming camp.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Western Army wrapped in earthy yellow turbans, attacked the Ming army camp in a big way, the drums of the Western Army were like thunder, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, thousands of soldiers carried dozens of crashing wood, hugged the shield cart, short ladder, and killed the wall like a tide.

Zhang Xianbi retreated here, the camp had just been erected, the defense was not perfect, and the camp was crumbling under the impact of the Western Army.

In the wall, the Ming army bombarded again and again, the arrows rained down, the western sergeant held the shield, the dense arrows jingled on the shield, and from time to time the western sergeant was shot down.

Outside the Ming army camp, there was not much time to set up many obstacles, and after a while, the western soldiers in front rushed to the wall, and picked up the crosswood to hit the wall, and the archers of the Western army behind kept shooting arrows into the Ming camp.

For a while, there was a rain of arrows in the sky, the arrows were like flying locusts, and the battle became fierce in an instant.

At this time, the soldiers of the Western Army had knocked down a section of the wall, and the Ming Army and the Western Army began to fight fiercely in close combat.

Originally, Zhang Xianbi had 20,000 men and horses, sticking to the camp, and he was not afraid of Sun Kewang's attack at all, but he didn't expect that Sun Kewang would come to fight him instead of saving Yiling.

In fact, Yang Wenyue had already explained that it would be a great achievement to let him guard the camp.

However, he was negligent and was defeated by Sun Kewang for a while, losing more than 5,000 people, making his troops insufficient, and his defense was also difficult.

At this time, at the wall, the two armies fought face to face, and the Ming soldiers continued to die.

An officer of a thousand households hurriedly ran over and hurriedly reported, "Chief soldier, the brothers have suffered heavy casualties, and some of them can't stand it!" ”

Zhang Xianbi's face was hideous, and he suddenly roared angrily, "The people sent out to ask for help, have you come!" ”

Qianhu Guan shook his head, Zhang Xianbi was furious, pushed Qianhu away, and shouted angrily, "Dear Ding, give it to me, resist the western thief!" ”

On a small hill outside the Ming army camp, a large banner with the word "Sun" written on it was dancing in the wind.

Sun Kewang was wearing a suit of armor, with more than a dozen generals, riding a horse and standing on the top of the mountain, but he did not focus on watching the soldiers of the Western Army attacking the village, but was a little absent-minded.

"King, will He Tengjiao send troops to rescue?" Ma Weixin, the western general on the side, looked at the Ming Village under the onslaught of the Western Army, and said with some worry.

Sun Kewang was also worried about this matter, he grabbed the reins of the horse with one hand, and muttered: "The Ming army attacked Yiling, this is a conspiracy, this king must go to save it, otherwise Yiling will be lost, Jingzhou will be a lonely city, and with a city to resist a province, this king will have no chance of winning at all." He Tengjiao and Yang Wenyue were counted as dead, knowing that I would save Yiling, so they ambushed people and horses in Songzi, and waited for this king to enter the set. This king went directly to the rescue, and fell into the ambush of Yang Wenyue, so this king can only fight the enemy of public security first and lead the enemy of Songzi back to help. It's just that this He Tengjiao's performance is very unstable, whether he will return to his teacher, this king is not sure! ”

The rumbling war drums continued to beat, the Ming army was filled with gunpowder smoke near the wall, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the casualties of the Western Army and the Ming Army were not small, but Sun Kewang did not plan to retreat the men and horses.

At this time, behind the army, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed in the direction of the hill, the war horse galloped, rolled up a piece of yellow dust, led the cavalry to the bottom of the hillside, immediately turned over and dismounted, and then held the handle of the sword with one hand, held the helmet with the other, and galloped up the hillside.

"King Qiqi, the Ming army of Songzi has moved!" The cavalryman fell to his knees on one knee, panting.

When Sun Kewang heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he suddenly waved his hand and ordered, "Mingjin retreats!" ”

'When! While! While! The sound of gold sounded, and the western army attacking the Ming camp retreated like a tide.

Sun Kewang pulled the reins of his horse, and while walking down, he instructed: "Ma Weixin, this king will give you 5,000 men and horses, you can play more flags, bluff, and return to Jingzhou." The rest of the generals, following the king to avoid the Songzi Ming army, went straight to Yiling, and joined Feng Shuangli to break the enemy besieging Yiling first. ”

"The last general commands!" Ma Weixin immediately clenched his fists, and then said: "King, you have to pay attention to safety!" ”

Sun Kewang continued: "This king will lead the troops to leave first, you stay here for the time being, and then bluff later to lead the troops to evacuate." ”

In the south of Yicheng, more than 300,000 displaced people, divided into 30 camps, are stationed in the wilderness outside the city, and the white tents are one after another, as far as the eye can see.

The displaced people from Yunyang, after being initially divided into camps, rushed to Yicheng, and waited for Gao Yihuan to give an order, and they were going south.

However, Gao Yihuan and his elite men and horses were not in Yicheng, but had quietly moved south, and had entered the realm of Chengtianfu controlled by the Ming army.

At this time, in a hilly area north of Jingmen Prefecture, nearly 20,000 troops were speeding south under the cover of night.

The leader of the general is Gao Yihuan, after two days of day and night, in the early morning of this day, 20,000 troops have arrived thirty miles outside the city of Jingmen Prefecture.

Jingmen Prefecture is in the north of Jingzhou, and you will know by listening to the name that it is the gateway to Jingzhou.

From the southeast direction, along the Han River tributary Quanshui down, is a grain storage point of Mahong Mountain, Neifang Mountain, to the south, is Jingzhou, to the southwest past Dangyang, is Yiling.

Gao Yihuan heard that the guide said that he was almost in Jingmen Prefecture, so he gave the order to let the army rest on the spot and send scouts to block the surrounding area.

At this time, the soldiers of the Wei army took out dry food one after another, ate a few bites hastily, and then seized the time to rest, while Gao Yihuan brought the generals to discuss the seizure of Jingzhou.

Gao Yihuan sat on a grass with a few people, glanced at everyone, and then spoke: "Judging from the intelligence, the two armies of Ming and Western have been fighting for many days, and now this fisherman has appeared to settle this dispute and restore peace to the people of Jingzhou······"
