Just after Ma Xiangzhong and Zhang Mengcheng converged with the men and horses at the top of Artemisia to defeat the rebels in front of them. Zhang Mengjin's team of more than 500 people who set out from Jiangduhe Fort also successfully defeated the large army of Shen Yikui who stopped in front of them.

Compared with the bloody battle on Ma Xiangzhong's side, Zhang Mengjin's team is more strategic.

Originally, Shen Yikui surrounded the 4,000 troops of Jinding Mountain, and then sent 800 people to ambush the reinforcements at the top of Artemisia, they left more than 1,000 people to continue to besiege Jinding Mountain. The other 2,000 men and horses, under the command of the rebel leader Shen Yikui, prepared to ambush Zhang Mengjin's own team.

However, Duhe Fort had two outstanding sentry leaders, Fan Shunjiang and Che Jibao, so Shen Yikui's ambush was quickly recognized. Zhang Mengjin and others took advantage of the fact that Shen Yikui had not yet discovered it, but instead concentrated their own cavalry troops and attacked a rebel army ambushed on the outermost side of the night by means of a surprise attack.

When Shen Yikui noticed that something was wrong and rushed to support with others. The cavalry of Zhang Mengjin and others has disappeared, and only nearly 100 corpses of rebels with their heads cut off are left on the battlefield.

Although Shen Yikui and the others who were furious, they couldn't wait to find out the figures of Zhang Mengjin and his gang immediately, and all of them were skinned and cramped. However, in the darkness of night, the rebels finally chose to regroup and set up camp to take turns to keep vigil to prevent the enemy from launching another sneak attack.

And Zhang Mengjin and his gang did not passively give up the night, they took advantage of being familiar with the terrain and gave full play to their home advantage. On the one hand, small troops were constantly moved around the enemy camp, and through howling and occasional bird guns, the men and horses of the gods did not dare to leave the camp rashly.

On the other hand, Zhang Mengjin led a large group of men and horses to make a detour overnight and successfully avoided Shen Yikui's obstruction. Then, at dawn, hundreds of elite soldiers of Jinding Mountain, regardless of their own fatigue, launched a strong attack on the more than 1,000 rebels who continued to besiege at the foot of Jinding Mountain.

Zhou Shaoteng of Jinding Mountain learned that reinforcements had arrived, so he gathered all the combat strength of the cottage and quickly killed the village. In the end, the two teams successfully defeated the rebel forces besieging the mountain by combining the inside and the outside.

It's just that in the pursuit stage, because I was worried that Shen Yikui would react, and the elite soldiers under his command were indeed quite tired. Therefore, after Zhang Mengjin pursued the defeated army for several miles, he safely chose to stop, and all of them returned to the stockade of Jinding Mountain to rectify and fortify.

And it was only after the dawn that Shen Yikui realized that it was only a small army that was harassing around his camp. Shouting that he was deceived, he hurriedly led his troops to Jinding Mountain, but on the way he encountered his own besieged men and horses who were defeated.

Shen Yikui and the others, who had regathered their subordinates, found that their combat power was still above that of Zhang Mengjin and his gang in Jinding Mountain, so they began to besiege Jinding Mountain again, preparing to pay more costs and eliminate the difficult opponent of the Chaotian Monkey in one fell swoop.

It was only when the rebels rebuilt the destroyed siege camp that they found a group of routed soldiers in their field of vision, and these people were one of the eight hundred elites brought by Sun Jiye before.

The defeated soldiers wailed and cried to Shen Yikui and others, the troops led by Sun Jiye were about to win the final victory, but because the horse harrier of Jinding Mountain suddenly appeared, and with an unstoppable assault, they crushed their rear team and the Chinese soldiers and horses in one go.

Their commander, Sun Jiye, had already been killed by Ma Harrier's own hands, and the other rebel leaders who had followed the past were nowhere to be found. Now the reinforcements of Artemisia Peak have converged with the cavalry of Ma Harrier and are rushing towards Jinding Mountain. After these people arrive, the morale of Jin Dingshan and the others will definitely rise to a higher level.

After listening to the intermittent reports of the defeaters, the anger in Shen Yikui's heart could no longer be controlled. In front of all the rebel leaders present, he used his knife to cut several cases in front of him in half. shouted and scolded to burn all the people on Jinding Mountain to death, and then broke his bones and ashes to vent the resentment in his heart.

Sun Jiye is a leader that Shen Yikui relies on very much in the rebels, and he also brought many of Shen Yikui's cronies. Now their demise has dealt a heavy blow to the direct power of the Divine Leader among the rebels. Shen Yikui, who had already regained absolute leadership, now had to reunite the rebel army, which had become more chaotic.

And the successive failures have also had a huge impact on the prestige of his master. Thinking of these consequences, Shen Yikui forcibly suppressed the indignation in his heart, and took the lead in attacking Huang Youcai, the initiator of this combat operation. Successfully divided a lot of men and horses from Huang Youcai's hands, making up for the losses of other leaders.

Although Huang Youcai was angry, but in this way, he saved the hearts of many rebel leaders, and the situation was stronger than others, so Huang Youcai had to choose to suffer this loss.

And after Shen Yikui quickly stabilized his internal relationship, he calmed down and thought about it calmly. Although the rebels were successively attacked by the soldiers and horses of Jinding Mountain and Artemisia Peak, after collecting the remnants of the army, the rebel army still had more than 3,000 combat troops at the foot of Jinding Mountain, and the total combat strength was still stronger than that of Jinding Mountain and Artemisia Peak combined.

Although the remaining combat power on Jinding Mountain is not clear, the reinforcements from Artemisia Peak, who are rushing outside, remove the wounded, even with the cavalry of the horse harriers, less than 300 people, and they can be eaten in one bite. Therefore, after consulting the other rebel leaders, Shen Yikui made a new decision and once again sent troops and horses to attack the reinforcements outside Artemisia Peak.

But the next change in the situation made Shen Yikui give up the idea of eating the remnants of the mugwort reinforcements in one bite. Because he received a report from his own sentinels, Zhang Yingchang, deputy chief soldier of Dingbian, finally rushed over with reinforcements.

If Zhang Mengjin, who was still in Jinding Mountain at this time, learned the news, they would definitely choose to attack again and try to entangle the rebels, and if Zhang Yingchang's troops were also killed at that time, the rebels would definitely reap a huge defeat again, and even the entire rebel army might collapse as a result.

In order to avoid this terrible outcome, Kamiyikui immediately ordered all the centaurs to begin preparing to retreat. However, Shen Yikui arranged the time of retreat to night, and during the day, he pretended to be ready to start attacking the cottage.

Zhang Mengjin and others, who were stationed at Jinding Mountain, soon discovered the abnormal movement among the Shenyikui rebels. They chose to remain on guard and successfully routed several enemy night attacks that night.

But after daylight, they were surprised to find that the rebels had withdrawn from Jinding Mountain overnight. The enemy used the methods of Jin Dingshan and others before to successfully play Zhang Mengjin and his gang. The reinforcements from the mugwort peak outside also quickly entered the cottage at this time.

Although the siege of Jinding Mountain had been resolved, the retreat of the Shenyikui rebels still made Zhang Mengjin and others puzzled. However, they soon understood everything, because at this time, the carrier pigeon from Artemisia Peak flew over to report that Zhang Yingchang, the general of the West Road, was already on his way with reinforcements.

The leaders, who thought that the opportunity could not be lost, hurriedly reorganized the pursuit force, and the remaining men and horses of Artemisia Peak quickly launched a pursuit of the rebels of Shen Yikui.

More than 400 cavalry cobbled together by Jindingshan and Artemisia Peak, through continuous pursuit, successfully caught up with the rebel troops to which Shen Yikui belonged. The elite cavalry behind the rebel palace boosted their morale and strangled with the pursuers, and the two sides rushed each other for more than ten rounds, and they could not distinguish the winner or loser.

Zhang Mengcheng, who participated in the pursuit, even found his friend Liu Jin among the elite cavalry of the rebels. However, as a close confidant of Shen Yikui, Liu Jin refused Zhang Mengcheng's persuasion to surrender, and directly drew his sword and slashed against Xiucai of Jinding Mountain.

When he fought Liu Jin for the first time, Zhang Mengcheng discovered that this alcoholic friend was indeed very difficult. Liu Jin, who also used a saber, fought with Zhang Mengcheng for a total of dozens of rounds, almost running through half of the battlefield. But Liu Jin, who had several colors on his body, still continued to fight to the death with Xiucai unrelentingly.

Zhang Mengcheng, who had never seen such an opponent, was also cut off by Liu Jin. If Zhang Mengcheng hadn't reacted quickly, his head would have been cut off directly by this friend. The opponent's bravery also made Zhang Mengcheng unable to take care of his subordinates.

Zhang Mengcheng's four guards, Xigui, Su He, Wu Dayong, and Ma Jinzhong, were engaged in a fight with the cavalry led by Liu Jin, and Xigui and Su He were all painted one after another. If Zhang Zhaoen hadn't seen that the situation was wrong and quickly rushed over to support, Zhang Mengcheng's four henchmen might have died here.

Seeing that his side had the advantage, Shen Yikui terminated his retreat plan and prepared to eat Zhang Mengjin's pursuing cavalry force. But this ultimately proved to be a very wrong decision, and when they were about to launch the final blow against Zhang Mengjin and his gang,

Another group of officers and cavalry who suddenly appeared came to the battlefield.

The military attache headed by Zhang Yingchang, the bravest general on Yansui West Road, and Cai Xiaozi, the big boss of Artemisia.

It turned out that Zhang Yingchang also received information that the rebels were entangled near Jinding Mountain by Zhang Mengjin and others. So he thought that the opportunity could not be lost, so he gathered all his cavalry and rushed to the battlefield non-stop. On the way, he successfully rendezvous with Cai Xiaozi who set off from Jingbian Camp, and then got the news that Zhang Mengjin had led his troops to chase after him.

Therefore, Zhang Yingchang and the others changed direction and continued to run wildly towards the battlefield regardless of their fatigue, and finally arrived at the battlefield in time. They didn't make a whole formation, and they began to assault Shen Yikui's flank.

In the end, the Ninsai rebels, whose flanks were suddenly routed, were finally completely defeated. Under the continuous pursuit of a group of officers and soldiers, they took refuge in their base camp Nimsai Fort. The defenders in the fort were still dutiful, and came out in time to respond, preventing the officers and troops from striking further blows at the other routed troops.

Zhang Mengcheng also successfully defeated Liu Jin, who had been standing in front of him, during this time. However, after knocking the opponent's saber away, because of Zhang Mengcheng's momentary hesitation, Liu Jin, a difficult opponent, was finally successfully rescued by his loyal guard Lao Liao.

Because of this incident, Zhang Mengcheng was severely reprimanded by his second brother. Zhang Mengguang used a rare tone to repeatedly emphasize that mercy to the enemy on the battlefield is cruelty to one's own people.

When the angry Zhang Mengguang was scolding, he said some vulgar words, which almost made Zhang Mengcheng think that his second brother had many of his own brothers. The unbearable former Xiucai was just a soft rebuttal. However, the second brother even aggravated the tone of reprimand, which made the smell of gunpowder between the two brothers of the same mother and sibling thicken.

Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the third child of his own family almost had a fight with the second child. As the eldest brother, Zhang Mengjin hurriedly separated the two brothers, and Zhang Mengguang, who was a little short-tempered, was pulled away by Zhao Wankui. And Zhang Mengcheng, who was almost angry, was secretly pulled aside by his eldest brother and privately pointed out several big mistakes made by Zhang Mengcheng during this time.

Zhang Mengcheng was already confused, where could he listen to the advice of his eldest brother. So after a few perfunctory words, he excused himself to take care of his injured subordinates, and turned around and left directly from his eldest brother Zhang Mengjin.

Zhang Mengjin saw the back of his third brother leaving, his mind turned, and he recruited his escort Li Dan. After whispering a few times, Li Dan nodded and ran out.
