Wu Deli led 20,000 old Qin soldiers to break through the defense line of the Guanluo River in one fell swoop, and hit the capital of Hedong like a bamboo along the way. After Wu Deli originally planned to occupy Hedong, he cooperated with Bai Zheng to attack the enemy army in Yanbei, and when the 100,000 troops stepped into the border of Yanbei, the rebellion in Yanbei could be successfully quelled.

However, in the face of Sagart's forces, Oudli's attack was hindered. The tactics of the Yaodong people have never been seen by Udeli, and in the face of salvo javelins and cooperating axes, Udeli's old Qin soldiers were caught off guard. When Udeli adjusted his deployment and prepared a special tactic to deal with Sagarg, Zhang Ling's reinforcements arrived.

In the face of Sagart's 10,000 people, Udli had the idea of annihilating them in one fell swoop. But with Zhang Ling's 20,000 men, Udeli could only choose to retreat and hold on. Udeli waited for the main force of Bai Zheng to make progress, and by then he had already crossed the Guanluo River with 20,000 men to be able to do much. But there was no good news from the middle of the Iron Army.

The army led by Zhang Ling was formed by the elite of the Power Sect. Among them, the army of 10,000 people is called the Tianjia Army, and the leading officers are all Tianjia soldiers and warriors. The combat effectiveness of the Tianjia Army is very strong, these people are originally good at martial arts, and now through training combined with military formations, the combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

Zhang Ling installed his cronies in the Tianjia Army, and the current Tianjia Army cannot be commanded by anyone except him. In this battle of Hexi, the Tianjia Army resisted the attack of the iron-blooded soldiers, and made great contributions in the battle of encircling and annihilating 10,000 iron-blooded soldiers. This made Zhang Ling have a lot of confidence in his strength.

However, the defenders of Hedong were defeated on all fronts in the face of Udeli's attack, and only with Sajiali's reinforcements could they resist Udeli's attack. This made Zhang Ling make up his mind that in the future, elite troops must be formed, and the fewer troops with weak combat effectiveness, the better.

Zhang Ling quickly returned to Hedong and cooperated with Sajiali's army to attack the main force of Udeli. But after all, the old Qin soldiers lived up to their reputation, the bows and arrows were accurate, the long knives were swung fiercely, and several attacks by the two armies were repulsed. Now the land east of the river is deadlocked.

But this is not Zhang Ling's plan, Hexi has already been lost, Hedong has lost most of it, and if he can't drive away the old Qin soldiers, the power sect will have no land. This was not what Zhang Ling wanted to see, so he kept urging Sa Jiali to cooperate with the attack, and he also kept urging Wei Zeng to send reinforcements over. And the result of his urging was that a Jiang Luqing came.

Zhang Ling was deeply impressed by this bold envoy, and after listening to his plan, he admired Jiang Luqing even more, and immediately started this operation against the old Qin soldiers in accordance with Jiang Luqing's plan.

According to Sagart's orders, the remnants of the Goddess Cult began to blockade the camp of Udli, and most of the past Tanma and messengers could not escape the hands of the Goddess Cult elders.

Soon, Udli realized that the situation was not right, and each time he sent three teams of messengers, barely able to maintain regular communication with Bai. However, most of the expeditions did not hear from them, which greatly affected Udli's understanding of the enemy's movements.

"Why, the scout horse sent out this time hasn't come back?" Udli asked.

"It's been like this for the past few days, as long as you send someone to find out the enemy's movements, there will be no return. It seems that the enemy army has a master at capturing the probing horses. They just want us to be deaf, to be blind. An adjutant said.

"It seems that the enemy is about to make a big move. The soldiers of the battalions should be asked to strengthen the defense, and the enemy must not be given an opportunity to take advantage of it. As long as we make progress in the middle, we are a sharp knife to destroy the enemy. So we must not have a problem. Udli commanded.

"But the progress in the middle is too slow, it's been a month, and they haven't been able to get through. We fought as soon as we fought, is the enemy really that strong? The adjutant wondered.

"Zhang Ling's army was very different from Wei Zeng's army. The 20,000 people led by Zhang Ling are all elite divisions, and their combat effectiveness is also the strongest, and the others are all newly recruited recruits, so they will naturally only fail in the face of our attack. But Wei Zeng's army was different, and the march and battle were quite orderly, and it was not a rabble at all. Take the Sagali we faced, relying on Yaodong's strategy of stepping, he caught us off guard. Although we are not afraid of them, we must plan well for future wars. Wei Zeng repelled the raids of the Zhan Turks this year, and he did have some ability. However, it is still far behind our old Qin people. We do not attack them, not because we cannot defeat them, but because we want to cooperate with the offensive of the Chinese army. Our goal is to wipe them out in one fell swoop, like the days of chasing down the rebels in Jiliu Mountain, and I don't want to do it a second time. Oudli said, stretching his back.

At this time, Udli received the news of the enemy's attack and personally went to the front line to direct the battle.

"The enemy blocked our eyes and ears, and sure enough, there was a big move. Now that the enemy has gathered more than 20,000 troops in front of them, it seems that they are planning to attack again. Tell the soldiers to prepare well, and teach the enemy another lesson, so that they know that our old Qin people are not easy to provoke. Udli said to his subordinates when he saw the enemy forces gathered on the frontal battlefield.

Under the command of Wu Deli, the old Qin soldiers formed a defensive formation. Most of the old Qin soldiers occupied the favorable terrain and shot the enemy with bows and arrows. There were even some old Qin soldiers hiding in a safe area, recuperating, and planning to charge and crush the enemy in one fell swoop when the enemy army was tired.

Sagarie's troops had very few crossbowmen, and Zhang Ling's Tianjia army was also strong in close combat, and in the face of the old Qin soldiers who were good at shooting, they had suffered big losses during the attack. Fortunately, this time it was only a feint, and there were not many casualties under the cover of the shield.

On the frontal battlefield, the old Qin soldiers gradually advanced the battle line in the direction of the coalition army, and after reaching a certain distance, these old Qin soldiers would pick up their long knives and open their melee kills.

Just as the frontal battlefield was fighting, the flanks of the Ugli army were suddenly dusty, and the black pressure seemed to be tens of thousands of enemy troops coming.

"What's going on with the flanks, why are there so many enemies. Didn't the Yanbei rebels be dragged down by General Bai? Where did they get so many people? Udeli was taken aback.

"According to the Tanma who escaped back, the enemy has been recruiting troops in Stone Wind City, and these people may be the newly formed enemy army in Stone Wind City." The adjutant said.

"Did a scout flee back? Call him to me. Udli commanded, he was now completely ignorant of the enemy's situation, and now he was deaf and blind, which greatly limited his decision.

"I ask you, have the enemy's reinforcements arrived? How many people are coming from the enemy? Udli asked Tanma.

"I was caught by the enemy, and occasionally heard news that 40,000 enemy reinforcements had arrived from the direction of Shifeng City, and they planned to drive us back to Hexi first, and attack General Bai's army in the middle." Tanma replied.

"Forty thousand troops! How could the enemy suddenly have so many more people? Udli was shocked when he heard this.

"I heard that in order to deal with us, the enemy recruited all the Ding Zhuang of Yanbei. Yanbei has a population of one million, and it is not a problem to recruit 40,000 Ding Zhuang at one time. I heard that the enemy has been massively cultivating the fields and overhauling the armor in the past year, and now he is fully clothed and ready for a big battle. Tanma replied.

Hearing this, Wu Delixin hesitated, if the enemy really had an army of 40,000 coming, his 20,000 people were really in danger. But he was afraid that this was a suspicious ploy of the enemy, so he continued to ask Tanma, "How did you escape?" How did you hear about it? Are these messages really accurate? ”

"The enemy guarded us very strictly, and a few people and I escaped with a few people when the enemy escorted us in the direction of Shifeng City a few days ago. But the enemy chased after him, and everyone else died, and I was hit by an arrow, and I finally escaped back. On my way to Stone Wind City, I saw a lot of people rushing here, and they were enemy reinforcements. I also overheard this news from the idle chatter of those enemies. Whenever the enemy notices that we are listening, they stop talking, and this should be true. Tanma replied.

Wu Deli had long heard that the enemy army in Yanbei had made a big move to Tuntian in the past year. Now that the autumn harvest is imminent, and the enemy has enough food and grass, it is indeed not difficult to raise an army of 40,000. Udli listened to Tanma's words, and there seemed to be no problem, so he had the heart to retreat.

"General Wu, then all this makes sense. The enemy blocked our eyes and ears so that we would not know of the arrival of their reinforcements, and in order to catch us off guard. Previously, the enemy concentrated his forces to annihilate 10,000 of General Bai's soldiers, and it seems that this time the enemy intends to repeat the old trick. The adjutant said.

"It seems that this is a real possibility. It is better to believe that it is there than to believe that it is not. I can't afford to have a problem with 20,000 people. He ordered his soldiers to retreat and go south to join General Bai. Udli decided that he could not take any chances, so he ordered his men to retreat south.

Jiang Luqing stood in the distance and watched the movements of the old Qin soldiers, his heart was always hanging, for fear that the enemy would just hold on to the village and not retreat. The suspicious soldiers on the north road had already been dispatched, and seeing that the enemy army began to shrink its forces, Jiang Luqing asked Zhang Ling to dispatch the suspicious soldiers on the south road. In order to make the enemy's retreat more simple, there was also an ambush on the enemy's retreat path to block the enemy's troops.

After receiving Jiang Luqing's instructions, Zhang Ling ordered 1,000 people on the South Road to drag the branches with horses and shout loudly to rush to the enemy camp.

Seeing that he was surrounded by enemy troops on three sides, Udli did not hesitate and led his army to retreat. Unexpectedly, when he retreated, he was attacked by an ambush.

After the old Qin soldiers brandished their long knives to defeat this ambush army, they retreated to the rear without stopping.

That Tanma was naturally put back by Jiang Luqing, and the so-called reinforcements from Shifeng City were also deliberately shown to them by Jiang Luqing, and the illusion of siege on all sides was also created by Jiang Luqing.

Now seeing that the plan was successfully completed, Jiang Luqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Jiang is so strategic, such an arrangement will defeat the enemy, why is Mr. Jiang worried about the undefeated iron-blooded army?" Zhang Ling said with a smile.

"The enemy army is alone, and what I am most afraid of is being surrounded by us. Now that the middle of the iron-blooded army is dragged by General Wei, without reinforcements, the enemy naturally does not dare to hold on. But in order to recover the land east of the river, it can't just be over. It is also good to ask General Zhang and Miss Sa to lead the troops in pursuit. The enemy must not be given a chance to come back to his senses. Now that the enemy has retreated, it is absolutely impossible to give them another chance to attack. Jiang Luqing said.

Sa Jiali did not hesitate to salute Jiang Luqing and led the troops in pursuit. Zhang Ling and Jiang Luqing exchanged a few polite words, and also led the troops to regain the lost territory.

"Finally fulfilled the mission. If that doesn't work, you'll have to make a few more moves. Now it saves a lot of trouble. When the autumn harvest is completed on Mr. Qi's side, the reinforcements will arrive. Before winter comes, there will be no major problems. Jiang Luqing stretched his body and went back to the room to rest.
