It is not so easy for the Shangguan army in Jiangbiao City to completely withdraw, after all, there is still the Guangming Army led by Liu Kun opposite the Shangguan Clan, once the Shangguan Clan's army wants to retreat, the Guangming Army will quickly catch up and drag the Shangguan army.

However, Shangguan Hongbo had already made a decision, and the wounded soldiers would seriously slow down the marching speed of the army, so Shangguan Hongbo threw more than 4,000 wounded soldiers who would affect the marching speed in Jiangbiao City to delay the Guangming army on the opposite side and buy time for the army.

In order to allow the wounded soldiers to delay longer, Shangguan Hongbo also ordered: "Anyone who dies for the Shangguan clan will be taken care of by the Shangguan clan. ”

With this order, although the wounded soldiers knew that they would stay in Jiangbiao City and use their lives to drag the Bright Army, the morale of the wounded soldiers did not drop, but they had more heart to fight to the death.

Shangguan Hongbo led the remaining 23,000 troops to retreat, Liu Kun found out about the situation and quickly pursued with his troops, but the more than 4,000 wounded soldiers who remained in Jiangbiao City burst out with all their strength and dragged the Guangming army to death, and Liu Kun could only watch the Shangguan army withdraw.

Ten years later, Shangguan Hongbo had already led his army back to Dingxiang County, except for some troops left in the north and east of Dingxiang County to delay the advance of the Guangming Army, the troops in the south and west of Dingxiang County had withdrawn to Dingxiang County.

Originally, the Shangguan clan had two ways to go, the first way was for the Shangguan clan to pack up their belongings and retreat to the south of Zezhou, where there was the last land in Zezhou that had not been invaded by the Guangming Army - Yunhua County, the strength of the Guangming Army in the adjacent Haiqu County in the south of Dingxiang County was not too strong, and the Shangguan clan could break through this line of defense and enter Yunhua County even if its strength was greatly damaged, but the relationship between the Shangguan clan and the Yun clan was not very good, and the senior leaders of the Shangguan clan also thought that the Yun clan's strength was very weak and could not resist the Guangming Army at all, once the situation in Zezhou changed, For example, the imperial counterinsurgency army entered Zezhou, and Yunhua County was in the southernmost part of Zezhou, and the counterinsurgency army could not rescue at all.

Under various factors, the top management of the Shangguan clan finally chose to stick to the Dingxiang County City, the Dingxiang County City is also an easy to defend and difficult to attack the city, the Dingxiang County City is one of the seven surnames and twelve Shangguan clan base camp, from the founding of the Dali Empire, the Shangguan clan has concentrated on the management of Dingxiang County, the scale of Dingxiang County, the height of the city wall and the thickness of the city is not too far from Zezhou City, Dingxiang County City also has a wide moat, and there are a large number of grain and grass reserves in Dingxiang County, which is enough for the whole city of Dingxiang County City to use for two years.

Now there are a lot of defenders in Dingxiang County, there are 23,000 people who retreated from Jiangbiao City, more than 8,000 people who retreated from the south and northwest of Dingxiang County, and more than 3,000 people who stayed in Dingxiang County City itself, and finally some recruits recruited by Shangguan County here, so that the number of defenders in Dingxiang County City is as many as 38,000 people, and there is no shortage of weapons and armor. Maybe the Bright Army will be pacified by the imperial court and the clans.

In addition, the Shangguan clan also took out all the high-grade medicinal materials in their own medicine garden, and the big war was imminent, and it was good to have one more innate grandmaster.

At the beginning of September, the two Guangming armies led by Zhu Wen and Liu Kun came to the city, and the two Guangming armies gathered together, totaling more than 65,000 people, none of whom were recruits.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle unfolded in Dingxiang County, the Guangming Army dispatched a large number of siege equipment to attack Dingxiang County, and the defenders of Dingxiang County City also fought back desperately.

The siege equipment of the Bright Army is a big trouble, but the Shangguan clan has found a solution, the archers in the defenders have shot rockets in their hands at these wooden siege equipment, and the siege equipment is ignited, although the Bright Army quickly reacted to extinguish the fire, but a few siege equipment were burned before they had time to extinguish the fire, and at the same time disrupted the siege order of the Bright Army.

After several times, the offensive and defensive battles of Dingxiang County City reached a stalemate, and both sides suffered heavy losses, but the battle continued, and the Guangming Army wanted to occupy all Zezhou as soon as possible, and the Shangguan clan also wanted to live......

The war in Dingxiang County could not escape the eyes of the Yun clan, and the Yun clan was also preparing for war.

At present, the Yunjia Army has a total of three divisions, Shi Mincai's first division, Lin Zhe's second division, and Yun Kui's third division, of which the first division and the second division are a mixture of firearms troops and cold weapons troops, especially the first division is the most complete adaptation, the second division is slightly worse, as for the third division, if calculated according to the military system of the Dali Empire, the third division has more than 13,000 people, which is the establishment of an army.

The total strength of the three divisions of the Yunjia Army has reached more than 36,000 people, of which half of the first, second, and third divisions are gathered in the Chenyang City area, and the remaining half of the third division is divided into two parts, 2,000 people are stationed in Yingzhou, and 4,000 people are stationed in various parts of Yunhua County.

It has become inevitable for the Yun clan to support the Shangguan clan, no matter how many contradictions there are between the Shangguan clan and the Yun clan, with Shangguan Yuling, the two families will eventually have some connection, if the Yun clan does not have the strength, there is no need to support the Shangguan clan, but the Yun clan has enough strength to rescue the Shangguan clan, but they have watched the Shangguan clan fall, which has a great impact on the reputation of the Yun clan.

Rescue is rescue, when will the Yun clan send troops to rescue the Shangguan clan still needs Yun Yi to say, Yun Yi is waiting, waiting for the bright army to consume more of Shangguan's strength.

Zezhou City can hold on to more than twice as many enemy sieges for nearly a month, no matter how bad the Shangguan clan is, it is also one of the seven surnames and twelve clans, and it has been concentrating on managing Dingxiang County for more than two hundred years, if the Shangguan clan cannot hold on to Dingxiang County for more than two months, then the Shangguan clan is not worthy of the name of seven surnames and twelve clans.

Yun Yi has already set the time for the Yun clan to officially send troops, if nothing else, on the third day of the first month after the autumn harvest, that is, on the third day of October, the Yun clan will officially send troops.

The moment the Yun clan sent out its troops, it also meant that the Yun clan took the first step to dominate the world, and the Bright Sect was the first enemy that the Yun clan faced, a very powerful enemy.

In mid-September, Yun Yi and Yun Qi rushed to Chenyang City, and Yun Qi convened a meeting of the generals of the Yun family army to agree on the plan for the Yun family army to send troops.

The main forces of the Yun family army are the first and second divisions, and with the strength of these two divisions, they can defeat several times the enemy, and without encountering the main force of the Guangming Army, no enemy will be able to stop the Yun family army.

After discussion, Yun Yi decided that the Yun family army would be divided into two routes, the first division would march to Haiqu County in the northwest of Yunhua County to solve the Shangguan clan, and Yun Yi would personally lead the second division to march into Jieliang County, and there was a more important enemy in Jieliang County - more than 15,000 Guangming troops led by the Holy Maiden of the Bright Sect.

After Yun Yi prepared to personally lead the second division to eliminate the Guangming Army in Huaili City, he rushed to the first division alone, and the second division was commanded by Lin Zhe to eliminate the remaining Guangming army in Jieliang County.

In addition, the first and second divisions must have innate martial artists in charge, Yun Qi in the first division, and Yun Ji in the second division.

Time flies.

On the third day of October, the weather was fine and suitable for travel, and nearly 30,000 Yunjia troops outside Chenyang City were ready to go.

Outside Chenyang City, Yun Yi stood on the platform wearing a silver and white armor.

When the last moment came, Yunyi drew his sword and pointed to the north: "Go on the expedition!" ”

"Wan Sheng!"
