There is a county in Tongzhou called Fangling County, which is the fief of the Qian surname (name) in the seven surnames and twelve clans.

Fangling Qian has a long heritage, the earliest can be traced back to 1,500 years ago, a thousand years of accumulation so that the Qian family has strong strength, and even established a country named after their own surname - Qian State, the strongest period of the Qian State, the territory area is only slightly smaller than Tongzhou, but in the strongest period of the Qian State, the Qian State was destroyed by the Shengwu Dynasty, and the current Fangling Qian Family is only a branch of the Qian Family, inheriting part of the huge wealth accumulated in the previous life for thousands of years, and then vigorously helping the founding emperor of the Dali Empire, In the end, the Qian clan was awarded the title of first-class marquis by the emperor, and the fief was Fangling County.

At this time, in the hall of the Qian Mansion in the center of Fangling County, there was a middle-aged and a young man sitting opposite each other, the former was the current patriarch of the Fangling Qian clan named Qian Rang, the word is high, forty-one years old, the day after tomorrow seventh-order martial artist, Qian Rang's martial arts talent is average, although a large number of medicinal materials can be piled up to the innate realm, but Qian let himself give up; The latter is Qian Rang's eldest son, Qian Zai, the word is suppressed, twenty-four, the day after tomorrow ninth-order martial artist, martial arts talent is good, and when Qian Zai accumulates a few more years, Qian Rang will take out high-year medicinal materials to let Qian Zai enter the innate realm in one fell swoop, but the most important thing is that as the eldest son, Qian Zai is already the recognized patriarchal heir of the Qian family.

"Zai'er, what do you think of the Lu family's request for help?" Qian Rang asked Qian Zai with a flat face.

In the northwest of Fangling County, there is a county bordering Fangling County, this county is called Yingchang County, which is the fief of the Lu family, the Guangming Army is menacing, although the Lu family has made a lot of preparations, but the current Lu clan patriarch does not think that he can hold his own fief, and the Lu family is unwilling to escape from his fiefdom, so he asks for help from the Qian family.

In the face of his father's inquiry, Qian Zai only paused slightly, and then replied: "Father, the child thinks that we should send troops to help the Lu clan resist the anti-thief, Yingchang County is a barrier in Fangling County, if Yingchang County falls into the hands of the anti-thief, then our Qian family will have to face the anti-thief, now our Qian family is not fully ready, it is better to give the Lu family some support, let the Lu family hold Yingchang County, and buy more time for the family." ”

"Hmm." After listening to Qian Zai's words, Qian Rang nodded, which was regarded as approving Qian Zai's answer, but Qian made the believers think of more things.

The Qian family also once claimed to be the king and hegemon, but because of the rise of the Shengwu Dynasty, everything disappeared, in the hearts of the ancestors of the Qian family in Fangling, there is a wish, hoping that the Qian family can rebuild the Qian country on this land, a powerful Qian country, Qian Rang also inherited the wishes of the ancestors, and wanted to let the Qian family build the country, but I didn't expect the opportunity to come so suddenly, the Guangming Sect started an incident, so that Qian Rang saw a hope for the founding of the Qian family, but before that, he had to face the Guangming Army that was conscripted everywhere.

Under Qian Rang's instructions, the entire Qian clan was running rapidly, and the Qian clan's strong foundation exerted its real strength at this moment, and in less than 20 days, in Fangling County, the Qian clan recruited an army of more than 30,000 people, with complete arms, and even a cavalry of more than 1,500 people.

30,000 troops, a lot of people, it is enough to resist the Guangming army to defend Fangling County, but if you want to let the Qian family build a country, it is far from enough, the Qian family is still continuing to expand the army, with a population of more than 500,000 people in Fangling County, it is enough to recruit 50,000 troops, if you are relaxing some conditions, you can even recruit an army of 100,000 people, but in this way, this army has quantity but no quality, so Qian Rang's goal is to recruit another 20,000 people on the basis of the existing 30,000 people.

As long as the Qian clan has an army of 50,000, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended.

Now that the Guangming Army is directly targeting Yingchang County, the outer barrier of Fangling County, Qian Rang plans to send troops to support the Lu family, because of the cold lips and teeth, and more because Qian Rang wants to swallow both Yingchang County and the Lu family.

On March 19, Qian Rang ordered to mobilize 5,000 troops to support the Lu clan, and sent another innate warrior to sit in the army.

On March 21, Du Weiming, the seventh elder of the Guangming Sect, led nearly 10,000 people into the territory of Yingchang County, and in the afternoon, the soldiers came to Yingchang County, at this time, there were more than 3,700 defenders in Yingchang County, and three ninth-order martial artists the day after tomorrow.

On 22 March, in the border area of Fangling County, an army of more than 5,000 people was assembled, grain and grass had been prepared, and the army was set out, and it was expected to arrive in Yingchang County on the morning of 23 March, and the danger of Yingchang County was relieved.

On the morning of this day, after a night of rest, the Guangming Army under the command of Du Weiming launched an attack on Yingchang County, at the same time, the hidden Guangming disciples and believers in Yingchang County worked together, but they did not expect to be resisted by the Lu clan in the end, and most of the Guangming disciples and believers in the city were captured or killed, and they also repelled the first attack of the Guangming Army.

In the afternoon, Tu Weiming once again led troops to attack Yingchang County, and even Tu Weiming had rushed to the city wall of Yingchang County, but was evaded by three ninth-order warriors and a large number of officers and soldiers on the city wall, the Guangming Army failed to attack Yingchang County for the second time, temporarily retreated, and attacked again the next day, on this day the Guangming Army suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the defenders of Yingchang County also suffered more than 600 casualties, among which one of the ninth-order warriors was seriously injured by Du Weiming and was unable to fight again.

On March 23, on the morning, Tu Weiming's whole army fought again, and the bright soldiers who fanatically shouted slogans rushed to Yingchang County under the leadership of Du Weiming, after a cup of tea, Du Weiming rushed to the city wall, and killed an enemy of the ninth order of the day after tomorrow, and a large number of bright soldiers also rushed to the city wall, Yingchang County fell into the biggest crisis, if it continued, the Guangming Army would directly occupy Yingchang County.

At this moment, Lu's reinforcements arrived.

Qian Shi, who commanded the Qian family's 5,000 troops, personally took 300 cavalry to take the lead, only to see 300 cavalry rush into the camp of the Guangming Army under the leadership of Qian Shi and directly kill a pair of opponents.

No matter how fanatically the soldiers of the Light shouted slogans and rushed towards the three hundred cavalry led by Qian Shi, they could not besiege it.

Du Weiming on the city wall saw that there was some chaos under the city, so he could only order the retreat, and after the battle, the number of casualties was counted, and there were still 8,000 intact people in the Guangming army, and the loss of the Guangming army was not too large, but because it was necessary to surround Yingchang County and disperse part of the troops, the loss of the Guangming army on the front was relatively large.

Originally, Du Weiming could bear this loss, and was ready to fight again in the afternoon, but he didn't expect that before noon, the Qian reinforcements arrived, and the two armies converged together, and the army in Yingchang County was as many as seven thousand, and the difference between the Guangming Army was not too much, even if the siege equipment of the Guangming Army arrived, it was very difficult for Du Weiming to capture Yingchang County, and more importantly, the appearance of the Qian Family, with the intervention of the Qian Family, it was impossible to capture Yingchang County.

In desperation, Tu Weiming ordered the army to retreat.

This was the first defeat faced by the Illuminati after the uprising.
