Dongzhe came to Wutong County this time to persuade Guanglin to take refuge in his side, and Guanglin hit it off, he didn't spend too much lip service, and he successfully persuaded Guanglin, however, he also made a promise on behalf of Shangguan Xiu to let Guanglin be the deputy commander of the Zhenxi Army.

In Dongzhe's opinion, it was too cost-effective to give Guanglin the position of deputy marshal and exchange his 60,000 troops to join him, but what he didn't expect was that his promise at this time left hidden dangers for the future.

After Guanglin accepted Dongzhe's edict, the latter immediately proposed to ask Guanglin to send troops to attack the lair of Jiang Lian and Di Qing's two rebels in Zhendong. Guanglin said worriedly: "If I send troops to attack Jiang Lian and Di Qing's lair, they will definitely lead a large army to come to the rescue, I will be one enemy and two enemies, it will be difficult to win!"

Dongzhe smiled and said: "Brother Guang rest assured, since Brother Guang has defected to the Zhenxi Army, he is the brother of the Zhenxi Army, we will never let Brother Guang fight alone in Zhendong, and we will definitely send reinforcements from Zhenxi!"

"Okay! If that's the case, I don't have anything more to say, just do what Brother Dongzhe wants!"

Guanglin accepted Dongzhe's request, gathered his troops that day, and early the next morning, sent troops south and marched to Tong'an County in Zhendong.

Tong'an County is the hometown of Jiang Lian's rebels and Di Qing's rebels, if it was before, Guanglin naturally did not dare to rashly send troops to go deeper, but now, Jiang Lian and Di Qing took a total of 100,000 rebels and Shi Kaiwen to join forces to attack Zhenxi, Tong'an County is empty, Guanglin naturally has no worries, after the army under his command entered Tong'an County, it was like a bamboo, unstoppable, and captured three cities in a row. Please Baidu black-rock + pavilion is our greatest support, thank you!

Tong'an County was attacked by the Guanglin rebel brigade, and the situation was precarious, and the news reached the ears of Jiang Lian and Di Qing as soon as possible.

At this time, they and Shi Kewen had already led a coalition of 200,000 troops to Zhenxi, and were preparing to take Songcheng first, and then Kuancheng, advancing westward step by step, and finally defeating the entire Zhenxi.

The news of the attack in the rear surprised Jiang Lian and Di Qing, and the two hurriedly went to find Shi Kaiwen and asked him to save the class teacher, it doesn't matter when Zhenxi fights, but Zhendong's hometown can't be lost in any case.

For Skevin, now that he is ready to fly, how can he retreat?

He comforted Jiang Lian and Di Qing with good words, and asked them to rest assured that the Guanglin rebels just wanted to take advantage of Zhendong and would not cause a big mess, and they should still take the capture of Zhenxi as their primary goal now.

At Shi Kewen's insistence, Jiang Lian and Di Qing did not immediately withdraw their troops to rescue, and continued to stay in Zhenxi to assist Shi Kewen in attacking Songcheng.

Songcheng was only a small small city, and there were not many defenders in it, and with 200,000 rebels approaching the city, the two sides barely fought, and the wind army in the city abandoned the city and fled.

The big victory in the first battle made Shi Kaiwen overjoyed and more confident, and if he continued to fight at this speed, he felt that it would not take him a month to take the entire Jinchuan County, and then Zhenxi would be cut in half with a knife, so that it would be difficult to finish, and the destruction of the Zhenxi army was just around the corner.

Next, the confident Shi Kewen divided his troops into three routes, taking Pingcheng, Jiancheng and Kuancheng. The battles of Pingcheng and Jiancheng were fought smoothly, and the rebels captured them one after another without much effort, but when attacking Kuancheng, the rebels encountered stubborn resistance from the Zhenxi army.

At this time, it was Shi Kewen's 'old subordinates' who sat in Kuancheng, An Yifu, and the main force of the Zhenxi Army was also concentrated here in Kuancheng.

Relying on the strong city defense of Kuancheng, the Zhenxi army launched a large-scale battle against the rebels led by Shi Kevin.

On the first day of the battle alone, the rebels launched more than a dozen waves, but the rebels attacked a wave, and were repelled by the Zhenxi army.

The Battle of Kuancheng also announced the end of the rebels' successive battles in Zhenxi, and the momentum of the original rainbow was also quickly suppressed. The battle of Kuancheng lasted for three days, and after three days of bloody fighting, the casualties on both sides were not small, but the rebels never tore apart the city defense of Kuancheng.

The westward advance was blocked, and the long-term attack on Kuancheng had already demoralized the rebels, but the disaster was not a single line, but at this time, the rebels' logistics troops were attacked by the Zhenxi army. The food and armament supplies transported from Zhenzhong to Zhenxi were destroyed by the sneak attack of Zhenxi's army.

Knowing that the enemy army attacking him was from Zhongyuan City, the angry Shi Kewen immediately sent his confidant Liang Jie to lead 20,000 rebels to attack Zhongyuan City. The 20,000 rebels were all descendants of Skyvin's army, not only strong in personnel, but also loyal to him.

The reason why Shi Kaiwen used his old book to attack Zhongyuan City has two main purposes, one is that his own attack on Kuancheng is blocked, the morale of the soldiers is low, and he urgently needs a big victory to boost the morale of the army, and second, Zhongyuan City is one of the production areas of Zhenxi, and there are a large number of grain and grass for the Zhenxi Army in the city.

Liang Jie led 20,000 rebels, bypassed Kuancheng, and when he entered Zhongyuan City in the west, he had a head-on encounter with the Zhenxi army, and it was the cavalry battalion of the Zhenxi army led by Sui Tangjing who met the rebels.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle on the plain between Kuancheng and Zhongyuan City.

Don't look at Liang Jie as a rebel, but he still has some research on the art of war and tactics, so he is not very proficient, but at least he can arrange troops.

Under his command, the rebels set up a crane wing formation, and the main army was concentrated in the center of the formation, divided into two armies, which were distributed on both sides of the formation, which looked like the crane's wings spread, which is also the origin of the name of the crane wing array.

The crane wing formation is both offensive and defensive, the army in the center of the formation can withstand the enemy's attack, and the army on both wings is outflanked by the left and right, which can copy the enemy's two ribs, and wait for the two sides to fight in one place, so that the enemy army is attacked on three sides and is difficult to parry.

Although the crane wing array is fierce, it also requires that there must be a strong tacit understanding between the various armies, and they can cooperate closely.

No matter what formation the opponent poses, the cavalry tactics are one, charge. Sui Tangjing was born in Duwei Mansion, and received the most formal militarized training from childhood to adulthood, and the most formal cavalry tactics she used to command the cavalry.

The cavalry of the whole battalion is divided into three waves, the first wave is used to disperse the enemy formation, the second wave is the main force, to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, and the third wave is to respond, once the enemy army breaks and flees, you can pursue and kill the enemy, once your own side is defeated, you can cover your own retreat, which is also the most orthodox cavalry tactics at that time.

After the two sides set up their respective battle formations and opened their positions, Sui Tangjing commanded the cavalry to take the lead in attacking.

The cavalry battalion of the Zhenxi Army had a total of more than 4,000 horsemen, and when the whole army advanced, the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was deafening, and even if it was far away, you could feel the tremor of the earth, and the unparalleled shock of the cavalry assault.

The 20,000 rebels led by Liang Jie are Shi Kaiwen's descendants, and their personnel are all strong, but their shortcomings are also obvious, that is, lack of experience on the battlefield.

Usually they were hidden by Shi Kewen, basically never fought, this time the first battle encountered the pure cavalry enemy, the two sides of the confrontation before the beginning, people's hearts have been hanging in the throat.

Seeing that the enemy had already charged, Liang Jie gave the order, and the whole army released arrows.

Under his orders, the rebels twisted their bows and arrows and fired arrows at the oncoming cavalry. The arrow array of 20,000 people should not be underestimated, and when a round of arrow array was fired, the cavalry battalion of the Zhenxi Army fell a piece of people, but the cavalry assault was not slowed down in the slightest, and the speed was getting faster and faster, especially the first wave of cavalry rushing in front, and the speed of the war horse gallop had been exerted to the extreme.

Liang Jie looked at the overwhelming cavalry, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and shouted repeatedly: "Release the arrows, continue to release the arrows!"

When we were a hundred paces away, the rebels began to fire arrows, and they fired only three rounds of arrows before the cavalry charged close to them, and this was the terrible mobility of the cavalry.

Seeing that the enemy and us were about to come into contact with each other, Liang Jie shouted loudly again: "Cloth shield array! Cloth shield array block the enemy!"

The rebels in front of them raised their shields one after another, looking at the oncoming cavalry, people turned pale with fright, shrunk behind the shields one by one, their bodies were about to curl up, and the rebels in the second row stretched out their spears, and as far as the eye could see, the outside of the rebel formation was a shield wall composed of a long row of erected shields, and there were countless spears poking out between the shield walls.

Soon, the cavalry of the Zhenxi army rushed forward, in order not to let the war horse be frightened, can be more powerful and directly collide with the enemy formation, the cavalry in front has been covered with a sweat towel to cover the horse's eyes, when the cavalry rushed up, it was really no dodge action, it was completely hard to rush forward.

Boom, boom, boom -

In an instant, the roar of the cavalry charging against the shield array was connected, and although the cavalry in front was stabbed into a hornet's nest by the rebels' spears and spears, the impact force caused by inertia also knocked the shield soldiers in the front row.

Many of the rebels fell under their shields, spitting blood from their mouths, and before they could get up from the ground, the cavalry that followed them had trampled over them.

For a moment, the screams in the rebel camp were continuous. Under the unstoppable charge of the cavalry, the soldiers in front were so frightened that they retreated again and again, while the soldiers behind were still rushing forward to kill, advancing and retreating, and the rebels themselves were already in chaos.

The cavalry charge doesn't stop because of your own chaos, the cavalry's creed is only two words, and that is to charge.

The first wave of more than 1,000 horsemen rushed into the camp of the rebels, almost through the formation, from the head of the rebel crane wing formation, and from the end of the formation.

Although it failed to cause much damage to the rebels, it led to a great chaos in the formation of 20,000 rebels.

Next was the second wave of the main cavalry.

Sui Tangjing personally led two thousand cavalry into the enemy formation, many rebel soldiers did not even have time to stab out of the spears in their hands, they had been knocked away by the war horses, and the two thousand cavalry rushed into the formation, even if they did not move a knife and a shot, the soldiers who were trampled by the war horses and died were countless.
