There are still more than 24,000 defenders in Donglinguan who can still participate in the battle, the original 30,000 people have been killed, more than 4,000 have been killed, and there are nearly 2,000 soldiers who are unable to participate in the battle because of injuries and diseases. Now the three halls of Fengguo launched an attack at the same time, and 15,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 young men who volunteered to go up to the castle tower to assist in the defense were also put into the east of the gate, and they were given weapons and armor to help defend the city. As a result, there are only 5,000 troops in the eastern border that can still be maneuvered.

However, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu are as clear as a mirror in their hearts. These 5,000 troops are by no means idle, in fact, these 5,000 troops are the 5,000 elite cavalry that helped Chen Jie win the battle back then. This is not only the only cavalry in the south of Qi State, but also an elite and battle-hardened army. Assisted Chen Jie to play triumphantly all the way, and finally won the hero of the governor of the south of Qi State. This cavalry is currently under the command of Zhang Lingyi for the time being, and the cavalry does not need to go up to the city tower to participate in the defense, and they can't help much. In such an urgent situation today, Zhang Lingyi still kept this cavalry, and let them just feed the horses and prepare the magic weapons for battle. Today, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing's suggestion of a night attack made Zhang Lingyi think that this cavalry was the best army that could be mobilized. It's just that he is not very at ease with the identities of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, he is at least a demon spirit secret envoy who has followed Chen Jie for a few years and has seen a lot of demon spirit secret envoys, but like Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, Zhang Lingyi really has some doubts in his heart.

Zhang Lingyi's original intention was to ask Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing to lead this cavalry to take the lead, and he led the back army that was still able to participate in the battle to intervene and cooperate with the attack. Adhering to the plan, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing gladly accepted this task without the slightest hesitation. Such a situation made Zhang Lingyi have to temporarily go to his suspicions and choose to believe in them temporarily, and at the same time, he also wanted to see if Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing had this strength.

However, Qi is not the only one who is taking contingency measures now. The feudal army that was originally stationed outside the city also discovered something. Although the East Pass is a majestic mountain pass, its terrain is not high, and several mountains stretching around it can be condescending to the East Pass. Therefore, before the army of the Fengzhan Society launched the siege battle in the afternoon, the Fengzhan Huiyi had already sent 5,000 people to seize the two surrounding mountain ranges, from which not only could they overlook the surrounding mountains, but the more than 100 soldiers originally stationed on the surrounding mountains could not resist the attack of the army at all. The Seal War Society had already captured the two surrounding hills almost effortlessly. As a result, the situation in the eastern border pass has become extremely serious, and if they cannot carry out the possible plan of counterattack as soon as possible and successfully tonight, they will not be able to hold on to the eastern border pass any longer.

As the sun set in the west, the east side of the castle began to clean up the battlefield, dragging the bodies of the fallen soldiers down the east tower, although they now mourn the death of nearly a thousand brothers again. However, they realized more clearly that if tonight's raid was not successful, it would be difficult for them to hold the East Pass for a long time.

Above the Guancheng Tower in the east, Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu stood there, staring at the figures of the retreating and leaving the feudal army in the distance, and then looked at the feudal flags that had fluttered above the two surrounding mountain ranges. Their hearts all became extremely heavy.

Silently for a long time, countless thoughts touched in their minds. If they don't succeed tonight, they will probably fall into the most dangerous situation. And once the eastern border pass is lost, the south of Qi will lose the most important barrier, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable. At that time, Huicheng has now been in the hands of the feudal state, and the army of the Ming clan has now returned to Ruocheng, and is about to attack Jincheng, the only city in the south of Qi that can be controlled. In this way, the southern part of Qi is about to be lost.

Fortunately, Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing brought good news again, their children had gone to Ruocheng to rescue Chen Jie, the governor of Qi State. The children who infiltrated Ruocheng would not be suspected by the defenders who were now guarding Ruocheng, but they might have a chance to rescue Chen Jie. Chen Jie is a hero in the hearts of the people in the south of the Qi Kingdom, as long as he takes the pardon of Prime Minister Li Dan to Ruocheng or even the southern Huicheng. It is possible for the people to return to assist the Qi State again, so that they will have a chance to turn the tables.

Beams of fire were lit under the east gate tower, and the people spontaneously brought up their own food and even killed pigs and sheep to reward the soldiers guarding the city tower in the east of the pass. The people knew that the soldiers were about to embark on one of the most dangerous raids of the night. These people looked at the two generals Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu, the generals of the Qi State with solemn faces, as well as the five thousand elite cavalry who had been summoned beside them, these five thousand cavalrymen had now changed into a battle armor, and only the helmet on their heads was now in their hands. Beside them lay a long blade and a silver dagger. Today, they are the force that can finally save Donglinguan. If their raid doesn't succeed today, it's irreparable.

Zhang Lingyi took the lead in picking up a bowl of wine, stood up to meet the sunset and lit candles around him, and said in a deep voice to the five thousand cavalry brothers around him who were about to participate in the raid: " Today, the news from the outside has told us a very serious news, now that the feudal kingdom has occupied the most dangerous mountains outside our eastern border, once we do not find the opportunity to raid the enemy camp and find the opportunity, we will become the prisoners of the feudal country, brothers, it is our honor to die on the battlefield, but how can we let our fathers and villagers, and let our family members who originally lived in a peaceful and prosperous life be involved in the war and displaced? Tonight, we want to think about our future and the people, and give it a go! Even if we die on the battlefield, this is also our fate, and we have no regrets!" After shouting this sentence, Zhang Lingyi drank the wine bowl in his hand, and then smashed the bowl on the ground, his expression was full of joy, but what he showed was the actions and words that made the soldiers secretly shocked and excited.

Jin Xu was the first to stand up and respond, he also followed Zhang Lingyi's same movements, he was even more fierce, and directly picked up a jar of high-quality wine and drank it all. The wine seeped down from above his lips, Zhang Lingyi's words were loud, and Jin Xu's response was even more enthusiastic. The 5,000 cavalry were still in a heavy mood, and they had some scruples about the imminent unfavorable situation at the East Linguan. So now, under the encouragement of these two generals, these soldiers have all their worries in their hearts, and what they want and think about is to take this opportunity to make contributions and defend their families and the country!

Zhang Lingyi saw that the momentum of the five thousand cavalry was already very majestic, and their goal had been achieved. So, Zhang Lingyi picked up a bowl of fresh lamb leg again and shouted: "Brothers, everyone enjoy this dinner well, this may be our last dinner!"

The five thousand riders had risen to the extreme, and they were facing the most sumptuous dinner they had enjoyed in their years or even decades in the army, even though they knew that death could be at any time before them. But they also have no regrets.

Zhang Lingyi and Jin Xu walked to Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, who were also enjoying a dinner with the soldiers in the crowd today, with wine bowls, and looked at the warm faces of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing, as if they had not been affected in any way. Zhang Lingyi couldn't help but smile and asked, "By the way, I have already given all the five thousand cavalry the things you asked for, and you can rest assured, but the two of you look very calm, are you very confident?" After speaking, Zhang Lingyi picked up the wine bowl in his hand and motioned to touch Feng Baiyi.

Feng Baiyi picked up the wine bowl, stood up, and after the two of them touched each other's wine bowls, they drank the bowl of rice wine. Feng Baiyi wiped the wine on his lips and said helplessly: "Don't hide it, General Zhang Lingyi, although I have studied the art of war with my uncle Jiang Mingcheng, I really have no experience in leading troops."

Zhang Lingyi smiled slightly, although there was a little doubt in his heart, it didn't mean that he didn't doubt the identities of Feng Baiyi and Xia Qing. So, Zhang Lingyi continued without moving: "Haha, it's okay, since you are here, won't you help us with this favor, right? Then I will bring the soldiers who can go to your aid, and you don't need to worry about that."

In the deep moonlit night, the dusty city gate of Donglinguan finally opened slowly under the cover of night. From the darkness, it can be seen that in addition to the two white-clothed figures riding on black horses, they are followed by warriors wearing black armor and holding silver spears. This army, all riding black horses and wearing black armor, is the last hope of Donglinguan.

The horses under the crotch of this cavalry were already covered with scarves, and the sound of horses' hooves was reduced to the faintest or even near, almost inaudible. Their faces were as fierce as dust, the spears in their hands had been raised, and the horses under their crotches were majestic and powerful. The majestic wind is aiming at the various camps of the feudal kingdom that have been extinguished not far away, and today is their last chance! Everything is about to become irreparable, just see if the last blow can be won! This cavalry army composed of 5,000 horsemen and two leaders dressed in white left the Donglin Pass and quietly launched the final desperate fight.
