The raid first took place in Jiangzhou in the south.

On the morning of 14 July, when a group of Zhou soldiers was patrolling Beizhang Town, Jiangzhou, at the foot of Luliang Mountain, hundreds of people dressed in brown peasant clothes suddenly appeared from the surrounding fields and trees.

In a panic, the head of the capital also deliberately concealed his negligence, and after returning home, he exaggerated the number of enemies several times, and Cheng Zhen, the deputy general guarding Jiangzhou City, immediately sent 1,500 soldiers to this area to search and advance.

Just when these soldiers left Jiangzhou City, the military camp at the southern end of the city was basically emptied, fifty masked strong men suddenly broke out of an empty house, Yang Ye took the lead, although he was very young, but the shot was unusually old and spicy, the steel gun in his hand was flying, the blocker was invincible, and he directly led people to break into the barracks, and successfully rescued more than 300 soldiers who had surrendered before, and dispersed and retreated into the empty houses of the city before the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty rushed from the city wall to support.

Cheng Zhen was furious when he heard the news, and brought soldiers from the city wall to conduct a large search throughout the city. Just after the soldiers withdrew from the city wall one after another, Yang Ye once again led more than 500 Northern Han soldiers to appear from the west gate that the defenders had unexpectedly appeared, and took the city gate with a single charge and walked through the city. Before leaving, these Northern Han soldiers went crazy and killed all the wounded Zhou soldiers, and used their heads and corpses to form a small "Jingguan" outside the West City Gate, before swaggering into the Luliang Mountains in the north.

In the evening, the 1,500 soldiers who had gone north to search for the enemy were so tired that they could not find the enemy. However, when they were about to leave the mountains, they were cut through the middle by a group of Northern Han cavalry that suddenly appeared, and the team was caught off guard, and dozens of soldiers were lost in an instant. As the soldiers shrunk into a ball and marched at turtle speed, there were still hidden arrows bursting out of the darkness from time to time, and the sound of screams became the "soundtrack" that accompanied them all the way back to the city.

Hearing the bad news again, he was furious, and ordered all the soldiers to take action, and the whole city was searched and arrested overnight, and those who saw it were immediately punished, and no one was left alive, and at the same time sent fast horses to report to Jinju.

However, what was unexpected was that not long after the soldiers left the city and ran along the northeast avenue, they were tripped by several men in black with ropes on a narrow road. Several people tortured to extract confessions, copied out the contents of the report and how to connect, and burned the letters.

Shortly thereafter, Yang Ye, who had arrived on horseback, scattered a group of elites along the west bank of the Fen River, and strictly ordered that no one on both sides of the Fen River should be let go, and Jiangzhou's external communication channels were completely blocked!

Compared with the raid on Jiangzhou, the raid of the Northern Han in Cizhou in the west was very unsmooth.

The surprise attack of the hidden soldiers of the Northern Han Dynasty also started with a patrol and search team that killed the enemy, and also successfully lured out a thousand Hou Zhou defenders, but Duan Yanqing, the deputy general of Cizhou City, used his troops very safely, and secretly sent another thousand soldiers to follow him, and two thousand soldiers one after the other, echoing each other from afar, and each team advanced in a compact formation. These soldiers rushed to a town at the foot of Luliang Mountain and stopped, which made the nearly 1,000 Northern Han soldiers who were secretly ambushed helpless and did not dare to make a move.

At the same time as sending troops out of the city, Duan Yanqing immediately recovered the soldiers on the city wall, and sent a thousand famous generals to surround the Cizhou Assassin's Mansion and besiege it, so that the Northern Han soldiers who were ready to take advantage of the chaos to raid and save people had to hold it down.

Until the evening, the two thousand soldiers sent abroad joined forces and returned to the city leisurely in a group, and the Northern Han soldiers who had been secretly observing had no choice but to stop and returned in vain.

Compared with the battles in these two places, the hostile sides of Xizhou in the north fought each other and won each game.

The Later Zhou general guarding Xizhou was Guo Chongwei's right-hand man - Cheng Fang. After Guo Chongwei's army withdrew, he ordered the 5,000 soldiers stationed on the border to retreat to the city of Xizhou, and the two armies echoed each other. In the next three days, Cheng Fang patrolled the perimeter of Xizhou with a scale of 500 people per team, and the distance between each team was never allowed to exceed five miles.

However, the bloody battle of defending the city for nearly four months has already trained the original scholar-type prince into a battlefield veteran. At noon on July 13, Liu Chengjun successively sent a small number of his men to flee to the north sporadically, which eventually attracted the attention of the patrol soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty. The garrison under the city sent a team of 500 people to pursue, and the 100 cavalry in the team suddenly accelerated, rushed along the north-south avenue, and killed until the border between the two countries, Fang Caizhe turned back and searched south.

Seeing that the road was blocked, those Northern Han soldiers became panicked, and after jumping around for a while, they all ran towards a peak in the East Mountain.

The Zhou soldiers who were chasing strictly followed Cheng Fang's orders, were not in a hurry or impatient, and stayed far behind these deserters, converging the follow-up infantry, and slowly pressing the deserters into a valley. These Later Zhou soldiers did not enter the valley to pursue, but gathered outside the valley, and several cavalry accompanied back to the city to move troops.

Cheng Fang, who got the news, sneered a few times and sent two cavalry teams and two infantry corps to advance towards the valley. At the same time, martial law was strictly ordered inside and outside the city, and anyone who was not part of the army would be killed as soon as he appeared.

The already empty city of Xizhou seemed even more solemn.

However, what Cheng Fang didn't expect was that Liu Chengjun's so-called desertion was simply a false move, and several dead soldiers in the Northern Han Dynasty had already sneaked into the vicinity of Xizhou Prison in advance.

At dusk, the dead men infiltrated the prison, knocked out the guards, and released nearly a thousand captured soldiers. These freed soldiers did not panic, according to the original plan, knocked down a wall that looked dilapidated, took out the swords, guns and weapons that were hidden in it when defending the city, and then divided into two teams, one east and one south, under the cover of darkness, to raid the east and south gates.

At the East City Gate, when the escaped Northern Han soldiers successfully rushed out of the city gate, they were completely surrounded by two cavalry teams. It turned out that the two cavalry teams sent by Cheng Fang were originally a live chess game, just to use their mobility ability to prevent accidents.

The besieged Northern Han soldiers wanted to turn around and return to the city, but found that the city gate had been blocked by the Later Zhou soldiers. These nearly 500 Northern Han soldiers who were blocked before and after were immediately divided into two teams, one group formed a simple formation to resist the cavalry, and the rest rushed to the city gate of the Houzhou soldiers, and the melee was together, and they fought in a muffled voice.

The Northern Han soldiers, who successfully rushed out of the south gate, ran to the agreed place in the southeast of Xizhou City, but did not find the separated brothers. It was a long time before a handful of brothers, covered in blood, rushed over, saying that they had been besieged and almost completely annihilated after leaving the city.

These people waited until it was almost dawn, and only waited until the other three wounded brothers who were fatal, so they had to leave in tears and sneak to Luliang Mountain, the guerrilla base camp they had set up early in the morning.

On the evening of 14 July, a young man dressed in a merchant's costume and carrying a small burden whistled all the way and appeared at the peak of Xiaoxi Tianding in the middle of Luliang Mountain. He walked to a few large rocks, suddenly stopped, and laughed loudly: "Come out, I have already found you!" ”
