Chai Rong had no choice but to send a messenger to Baili Wuji to ask for the return of the Ministry of Martial Arts and Culture, ask for the reconstruction, and ask Baili Wuji for help, because Baili Wuji had promised Chai Rong that after the two countries of Ming and Zhou got the Liao State, the income harvested from the Liao State would be owned by the Ming State, and in return, the Ming State would help the Zhou State to attack and destroy the blockade, and the resulting income would be owned by the Zhou State.

But Chai Rong didn't expect that less than a day after the messenger was dispatched, more than 40,000 troops crossed the Yellow River.

Lingzhou City was once again surrounded by the absolutely superior Divination Legion.

Chai Rong gathered all the cavalry of the forbidden army, about 20,000 people handed over to Zhao Kuangyin under the command, so that Zhao Kuangyin must hold the east gate of Lingzhou City, Chai Rong's meaning is very clear, that is, when something really happens, retreat from the east gate, after all, as long as you cross the Great Wall to the east, you can reach Zhou Xiazhou, this is the next policy in desperation, really at this time, it is estimated that the forbidden army that can withdraw from the east gate will not exceed twenty percent.

Chai Rong ordered the remaining 40,000 forbidden troops to garrison the four city walls, and he himself brought thousands of people as backup.

The Obstruction Army was worried that the Ming and Zhou armies on the west bank of the Yellow River were chasing, so they adopted a strategy of quick victory, and the battle was a general attack at the beginning, and the 80,000 Obstruction Army left no room to pounce on Lingzhou City from the west and south, and Chai Rong put the strongest east gate, but was abandoned by the Obstruction Army.

On the two walls of Lingzhou, like a spreading gourd vine, a string of soldiers of the Obstruction Army crawled together, and the Zhou army desperately shot arrows, threw stones, and sprinkled boiling oil .......

A large number of nomadic rangers galloped from one side of the wall to the other, shooting in the middle of which were characteristic of the nomads.

Locust-like arrows hindered the defense of the soldiers of the Zhou army on the city walls.

Often, a few soldiers of the Obstruction Army who climbed were shot by the arrows of the Zhou army and fell halfway down the city wall. Accompanied by several Zhou troops, they were planted from the city wall.

The city wall of Lingzhou was too low, less than a zhang high, and it was impossible to block the arrows of the blocking army. The greatest use is that it can allow the Zhou army to avoid the advantage of blocking the cavalry's collective charge.

After a day of bloody fighting, the casualties of the Zhou army and the Obstruction army had reached more than 10,000.

Even at night, the Divination Army still ordered the soldiers to light torches and fires to carry out night raids.

Chai Rong didn't understand what was going on on the other side of the Yellow River, which would make the Blockade Army attack so at any cost. It stands to reason that this obstruction army should have been defeated when it crossed the river, otherwise it would have been impossible to cross the river so easily. And if this is the case, the Obstruction Army should fight steadily. After all, although Lingzhou is the territory of the Zhou State, it is isolated like a horn in the northwest border of the Zhou State.

It can be said that Lingzhou is isolated. Even if troops are transferred from the nearest Yanzhou and Xiazhou, they will not be able to arrive in three days. What's more, there is no army at all in these two states, and Chai Rong has already taken the surrounding armies when he launched this battle. Even the state armies of the states were called up.

Chai Rong couldn't figure it out. But the fighting continued brutally.

On this night, Chai Rong personally went to the city wall to command the Zhou army to defend the city desperately, and when the sky was bright, the exhausted Chai Rong saw the mountains of corpses piled up under the city wall, and realized that Lingzhou City had not been breached.

Without waiting for the Zhou army in the city to take a moment of respite, the obstruction army launched another onslaught.

First the south gate, then the west gate, the two city gates were successively blocked by the Bu army to climb the city wall to break through, Chai Rong had to shrink the forbidden army of the two gates and gradually retreated to the city. But two doors and one mistake, good at cavalry charge to block the army. You can drive straight into it from outside the city. Under the urgency of the situation, Zhao Kuangyin's 20,000 cavalry at the east gate launched a charge from the east gate to the camp of the Obstruction Army outside the south gate without authorization.

The two southwest gates have been lost, and once Zhao Kuangyin's troops moved, they were all discovered by the Blockade Army, so the Blockade Army camp at the south gate gathered 30,000 Blockade Cavalry in time to attack north.

The two armies collided head-on at the bend from the south wall to the east wall.

Zhao Kuangyin gave up his position outside the east city and disobeyed Chai Rong's order to attack without authorization, and there were reasons for him. Zhao Kuangyin is a hot-blooded person, although he has the intention of usurping the treasure, but this is actually caused by the influence of Chen Kuan's ears and eyes since he was a child, at least in his heart, as long as Chai Rong lives for a day, he will not be able and have no strength to usurp Chai Rong's position.

Seeing Chai Rong in danger and not thinking of rescue, this is definitely not Zhao Kuangyin's character. And Zhao Kuangyin also has some selfishness, he can't accept being robbed of military power by Chai Rong, and let Yeluma flee north that day, also for the reason of retaining military power, although there is the "bewitchment" of Chen Lu's disciples, but the most important thing is that Chen Kuangyin's disciples' words hit Zhao Kuangyin's vital point.

Now he attacked the camp of the Bu army without authorization with the strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao", and he also wanted to save Chai Rong and restore Chai Rong's trust in himself, so in this battle, Zhao Kuangyin was ruthless, even if he fought the last person, he would firmly drag the army of the Bu army camp outside the south city gate.

Chai Rong in the city saw that Zhao Kuangyin disobeyed his orders and attacked without authorization, and the suspicion that had arisen because of the rumors in Kaifeng was instantly erased by this strong brotherly feeling.

Chai Rong naturally knew that the difference in strength between the cavalry of the two armies of Zhou and Blockade was definitely not a distance that could be made up by desperate efforts, and with 20,000 improvised cavalry facing 30,000 Blockade Cavalry, the outcome could be imagined.

Chai Rong's enthusiasm surged for a while, and Ling Xiang Xun led half of his men to counterattack at the west gate, and he led the other half of his men to launch a counterattack at the south gate.

Chai Rong is a righteous person in his bones, easy to be moved, as long as he does not shake his throne, he can even take out one of his qiē to share with his brothers.

Perhaps under the influence of his father-in-law Guo Wei, Chai Rong has been frugal all his life, and has never had extravagant things, for this, even if it is Baili Wuji, he sighs to himself, Baili Wuji is diligent but not thrifty, and loves the people but does not treat himself badly.

Helplessly, the Zhou State was founded in the midst of war and chaos, and the time was not long, and the foundation was too thin, even though the two generations of Zhou emperors had the heart to work hard, but they had no power to return to heaven.

Xiang Xun couldn't stop Chai Rong's will at all, so he could only be ordered to launch a counterattack against Ximen.

Chai Rong was surrounded by guards to attack the south gate, and the Zhou army was already demoralized, but under the encouragement of the emperor himself to lead the charge, the morale rose like a shot in the arm.

The Bu Army, which had already controlled the south gate, was caught off guard for a while, and was really driven out of the south gate by Chai Rong.

And when the blockade army retreated beyond the city gate, the field was large, and the superiority of the cavalry began to show, and the position gradually stabilized.

At this time, it was a confrontation of strength, and the morale of the Zhou soldiers began to weaken as if they had just been given a shot in the arm, and the weakening was more rapid.

At this time, on the battlefield of the South Gate, Zhao Kuangyin's troops and the Obstruction Cavalry fought at the corner of the city wall, while Chai Rong was barely supporting at the South City Gate.

The two could see each other from afar, but they couldn't meet in one place. (To be continued......)
