When Liu Lin, a puppet bodyguard with peerless military strength, stopped Yang Yu, the protector of Wudang Mountain, the pressure on Zhang Shaohua suddenly decreased a lot.

Fighting alone against three Wudang Mountain masters with peerless military strength, even if they are as strong as Zhang Shaohua, they have to go all out to deal with it, once they fight for a long time, it must be Zhang Shaohua who loses in the end.

Now only the second elder of Wudang Mountain, Lei Jin, and the fourth elder Chen Tong are left to besiege Zhang Shaohua, and the pressure is suddenly transferred to the two elders of Wudang Mountain.

After Lei Jin and Chen Tong worked together to fight Zhang Shaohua for dozens of moves, Lei Jin found that it was impossible to kill Zhang Shaohua, and immediately issued an order to retreat.

Zhang Shaohua didn't want these black-clothed people to escape, but at this time, in the camp of the imperial army, the scene was very chaotic, although Zhang Shaohua and Liu Lin pursued the two elders and a protector of Wudang Mountain, but the three people of Wudang Mountain rode horses and quickly disappeared from Zhang Shaohua and Liu Lin's field of vision.

Zhang Shaohua, who was scolding, had no choice but to reunite with the puppet bodyguard Liu Lin, and set up a horse to rejoin with a team of Han Dynasty Tiger Ben cavalry led by Wang Ben, and continued to attack the Suzhou Xiang army in the camp.

In this night attack of the Suzhou Xiang Army, the imperial army relied on the attack of the cavalry of the Broken Army, as well as the hard resistance of the forbidden army, the Jiading troops and the counterinsurgents from all walks of life, and finally drove the Suzhou Xiang Army out of the camp.

However, the imperial army suffered very heavy losses in this night attack, and the camp that stretched for more than ten miles was burned by at least half of the Suzhou Xiang army, and even the tent of the hussar general He Guangzong was burned.

On the morning of September 17, 428 of the Great Jin Dynasty, in the new tent of the hussar general He Guangzong, He Guangzong asked the hussar general Li Hong with a gloomy face: "Have the losses been counted?" ”

Li Hong said with a wry smile: "The losses are too great, preliminary statistics, only our forbidden army has lost more than 70,000 people, plus the previous losses, the 350,000 troops gathered by our forbidden army this time, there are only more than 260,000 people left, and the 300,000 families sent by various families have only about 200,000 left after this night attack by the Suzhou rebels, and the 17th Road Ping rebels lost a lot of money last night, about more than 100,000 people." ”

After a pause, Li Hong continued: "In addition, most of our army's grain and grass were burned by the Suzhou rebels, but we have our backs to the capital, and there is no crisis of food shortage. ”

Hearing that he had lost about 250,000 troops overnight, He Guangzong couldn't help but feel a pain in his face, you must know that this time He Guangzong brought a total of about 1 million troops, how long has it been, there are 710,000 million troops left, and the loss has been close to 30%.

Such a big loss couldn't help but make He Guangzong retreat, He Guangzong coughed and asked Li Hong: "General Li, do you think it is necessary for us to continue to garrison troops north of Xuanmen Pass?" In less than two days since we arrived here, we have lost nearly 30% of our troops, and if we run out of troops here, the capital will be in danger! ”

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and said: "If we evacuate here, then the rebels of Suzhou will be directed at the capital, so it is better to be cautious." ”

He Guangzong thought for a while and said, "Then report last night's losses to the imperial court first!" What does it mean to take a look at the imperial court? ”

In the camp of the Broken Capture Army north of the Revolving Gate Pass, Wang Ben sighed and said to Liu Meng, Zhang Shaohua, Chen Hao and Chen Zhong: "In the battle last night, the losses of our cavalry and infantry combined, there were more than 800 people, and now we only have more than 4,200 people left. ”

Liu Meng frowned and said, "Brother Wang, let's retreat to Canglong City first!" Even if we don't go to war if we stay here, we can't avoid causing losses when the Suzhou rebels attack the camp, we came to the capital this time, and the lesson of the Suzhou rebels is only secondary, and our most important task is to bring the Zhou Shilang family of the Ministry of Rites back to the General Mansion in Chengyin City. ”

Wang Ben nodded approvingly and said: "What Mengzi said is reasonable, we are already in the limelight this time, there is really no need to get angry for the sake of that group of people in the imperial court, and lose all the elite of the main bus to us!" ”

Liu Meng then said with a fierce light in his eyes: "The three masked black-clothed men who attacked and killed Brother Zhang last night are probably the two elders and a Dharma protector of Wudang Mountain, before leaving the capital, we have to report back to the people of Wudang Mountain." ”

Zhang Shaohua muttered at this time: "If it weren't for the three rats who didn't dare to show their faces, they ran fast enough, and I would have cut them all down last night!" ”

Although the night attack of the Suzhou Xiang Army on the main camp of the imperial army brought a lot of losses to the imperial army, the losses of the Suzhou Xiang Army itself were not small.

In the tent of the Suzhou Xiang Army camp outside the Spiral Gate Pass, Zhou Jiling, the general of the Suzhou Xiang Army, reported to Zhang Mingqi: "My lord, last night's battle our Suzhou Xiang Army lost about 150,000 people, of which the cavalry lost nearly 40,000, although it destroyed most of the camp of the imperial army, but last night's night attack was a tragic victory at best, and now our Suzhou Xiang Army has been hit hard by several of the fourteen guards near the Spiral Gate Pass. ”

Zhang Mingqi nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Whether it is a miserable victory or not, at least we won last night!" ”

Then Zhang Mingqi turned his head and said to the strategist Tang Yan: "Use carrier pigeons to convey the orders of this official to Zhao Lianjin and Chen Hongxin, as far as possible, from Suzhou, Qiongzhou and Lianzhou, draw a part of the army, go north to Canglong City, and come to the revolving gate to join our fourteen guards, since the strength of the imperial court is stronger than we imagined, then we can only mobilize more troops!" ”

The strategist Tang Yan then suggested to Zhang Mingqi: "Since the lord is preparing to transfer troops from the three states in the southeast, it is better to transfer a few guards north of the revolving gate pass and south of the revolving gate pass, use the wall of the revolving gate pass to confront the imperial army, wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the three southeastern states, and then have a decisive battle with the imperial army!" ”

Zhang Mingqi thought about it for a while and said: "Just do what Mr. Tang wants, so that we can avoid our Suzhou Xiang Army's troops north of the Revolving Gate Pass from being attacked by the imperial army again!" ”

The court bigwigs of Canglong City were terrified when they learned that the imperial army had lost about 250,000 people outside the Revolving Gate Pass overnight, but they did not give an order to retreat to the remaining imperial troops outside the Revolving Gate Pass, but under the strong leadership of Dou Yan, the captain of the military department, the imperial court sent nearly 100,000 forbidden troops, 200,000 troops of the 200,000 Ding troops and 200,000 troops of the other Wulu Ping rebels to outside the Revolving Gate Pass.

Because the troops of the Suzhou Xiang Army soon withdrew to the inside and south of the Revolving Gate Pass under the nose of the imperial army, and the imperial army did not have a very good way to face the revolving gate pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so from September 17, the Suzhou Xiang Army and the imperial army launched a long-term confrontation at the Revolving Gate Pass.

Of course, both sides were not idle during the confrontation, and the Suzhou Xiang Army dispatched part of the troops of Suzhou, Qiongzhou and Lianzhou to the north of Canglong City, and the thirteenth family on the side of the imperial court also used this time of confrontation to mobilize more family troops and a large number of young people from all over the country to gather in the Canglong City area.

Just when the Suzhou Xiang army and the imperial army were facing off at the Revolving Gate Pass, thousands of miles away, in the city lord's mansion of Teboka City, the capital of the Oren Province of the Gaochang Kingdom, the Duke of Fawaz, the commander of the Dawan Kingdom, the Marquis of Feida, the commander of the troops of the Cheshi Kingdom, the Marquis Yunus, the commander of the troops of the Gaochang Kingdom, and the Bishop of the Eastern Diocese of the Holy Fire Sect, Os, were hosting a banquet to entertain the Duke of Lai Dufei, the commander of the reinforcements sent by the Dawan Kingdom, and the Duke of Mansour, the commander of the reinforcements sent by the Cheshi Kingdom.

After Gaochang agreed to a new spoils distribution plan, the six cavalry corps, six infantry corps, 300,000 auxiliaries and 200,000 vassal troops sent by the Dawan State, totaling 1.5 million troops, and eight legions and 200,000 vassal armies of the Cheshi State, totaling 1.1 million troops, finally arrived in the Orun Province of Gaochang after a long journey.

Only the thirteen legions of the Resting Country, a total of 1.3 million troops, because many of them were newly formed troops, and it took a lot of time to form these new troops, so the thirteen legions of the Resting Nation had only recently set out from the country.

Duke Fawaz of Dawan Kingdom held a wine glass and sighed to Duke Lai Dufei, the commander of the reinforcements sent by Dawan Kingdom: "The strength of the Broken Army is much stronger than we expected, in several major battles outside the city of Cilis, three cavalry legions and eight infantry legions of our Dawan Kingdom have been disabled, and the auxiliary troops have also lost more than 100,000 people, and now the troops in my hands, including the 300,000 people of several dependent countries of our Dawan Kingdom, there are about 1.5 million, since I came to Gaochang Kingdom, My army has lost a full 800,000,000, and alas—"

Duke Ledufei said comfortingly: "Duke Fawaz, this time His Majesty the King sent me over to you as an assistant, and also brought six cavalry regiments, six infantry legions, 300,000 auxiliaries and 200,000 vassal troops of our Dawan Kingdom, I believe that under the leadership of Duke Fawaz, we will definitely avenge the fallen soldiers of Dawan and the fallen soldiers of the other three countries!" ”

The Duke of Fawaz of Dawan is the younger brother of King Yeman, so although Duke Fawaz lost troops on the front line, King Yeman did not have the intention of replacing Duke Fawaz, this time King Yeman sent Duke Lai Dufa to bring 1.5 million troops to help, the supreme commander of Dawan Kingdom on the front line is still Duke Fawaz, and Duke Lai Duffei who led the troops to help will become the deputy commander.

However, the situation on the side of the Cheshi country was different, and the commander of the reinforcements sent by the Cheshi country, Duke Mansour, said calmly to the Marquis of Feida, the former commander of the Cheshi country: "Marquis Feida, according to the order of His Majesty the King, I will replace you as the commander of our Cheshi country. ”

Marquis Feida smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Duke Mansur, there are nearly 350,000 people left in the ten legions under my command and the armies of various vassal countries, after this banquet, I will hand over the command of these armies to you!" ”

Duke Mansour then said, "Marquis Feda, then I will wronged you to be my deputy for the time being!" Once we have defeated the Breakers, His Majesty will no longer care about your previous mistakes. ”

Marquis Feida sighed and said, "I have lost 850,000 troops in a short period of time, and His Majesty the King cannot overdo anything with me, alas-"

Duke Mansour patted Marquis Feida on the shoulder comfortingly, and then turned his head to Duke Fawaz of Dawan Kingdom and said: "Duke Fawaz, this time I brought eight legions and 200,000 vassal troops of our Cheshi Country, a total of 1.1 million people, plus 350,000 people in the hands of Marquis Feida, our Cheshi Country has more than 1.45 million troops, and Dawan Country has 3 million troops, with the strength of our two armies, I think we already have the strength to defeat the Broken Army, It is better to launch an attack on the Broken Army as soon as possible, and this war can be ended sooner. ”

Duke Fawaz frowned and said: "According to the information we have obtained, the Broken Army is likely to have gathered nearly three million troops on the line of Shakhtinsk Province, Huhesa Province and Lisakos Province in Gaochang State, even if the armies of our two countries combined occupy an absolute superiority in strength, but if only the armies of our two countries fight with the Broken Army, the armies of our two countries will definitely suffer very large losses, and maybe the casualty figure is unacceptable to none of our two countries. Therefore, I think it is better to wait for the arrival of the 1.3 million troops of the Sabbatical State before studying the issue of fighting the Broken Army. ”

At this time, Marquis Yunus, the commander of the Gaochang Kingdom on the side, said with a gloomy face: "Duke Fawaz and Duke Mansour, please don't forget, this time our four great powers in the Western Regions are jointly fighting against the Broken Army, and at this time in the Orun Province, our Gaochang Kingdom has also gathered ten legions and nearly a million troops!" ”

Yunus was originally only the earl of Gaochang Kingdom, but last time Yunus took the four Gaochang legions that entered the province of Lisacos, and ran very fast, in the case of heavy losses of the armies of Dawan, Cheshi, and Anxi, the losses of the four Gaochang legions were not large, so Mujshid, the king of Gaochang Kingdom, raised Yunus's title by one level, and changed from earl to marquis.

Under the pressure of these three kingdoms, Gaochang has promised to give the ownership of fifteen vassal states including Zhuqi and more than 30 independent city-states around the former Eastern Governorate to Dawan after the war.

In addition, the ownership of thirteen vassal states, including the Langli Kingdom under the jurisdiction of the former Eastern Governorate, and more than 20 independent city-states in the surrounding area will be vested in the Cheshi State, and the ownership of the Smosco Province, the Balikun Province, and the Mazatag Province in the easternmost part of the former Eastern Governorate of the Gaochang State will be vested in the Sabbath State.

If it weren't for the current strength of the Gaochang Kingdom's army, Yunus would want to directly attack the armies of the Dawan Kingdom, the Cheshi Kingdom and the Anxi Kingdom, these three countries are really too bullying!
