Moreover, at this time, the Western Zhao Kingdom had been divided into a full thirty-six countries, which attacked and killed each other, and the people suffered from war.

On March 12 of the first year of Guangming, Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu in the former western Zhao State, which occupied Xiangwu Prefecture, Anping Prefecture, Jing'an Prefecture, and Anguo Prefecture in Shannan Jiangbei Province, actually ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and suddenly attacked Wuningfu, Wuping Prefecture and Wuyang Prefecture in the western part of Shanyoujiangbei Province under the control of the neighboring Illuminati.

As the primary target of the attack by Xiahou Cuo's 800,000-strong army - Wuding County in the west of Wuning Mansion, Li Weigang, the county commander, Tang Weizhong, the county governor, Shi Zhongqing and others quickly mobilized 420,000 Wuding County garrisons and entered the fortifications that had been dug in the five western counties of Wuding County.

Since the number of households in Wuding County has expanded to 1.63 million, and thanks to the encouragement of the Illuminati land policy, the local people have even organized a powerful Guangming Army and Civilian Army with a number of 930,000 under the organization of the Illuminati members. In particular, in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Bright Army and the Civilian Army, the Bright Army even sent many elite combat backbones for the People's Army. Therefore, when the vanguard army of Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, marched to Baijiang County in the west of Wuding County, it was ambushed by the 8,000 people's army led by Bai Wei, the county commander of Baijiang County, and the 50,000 Guangming Army led by the captain Liang Liang in the Baijiang Bay area.

At the 14th hour of March in the first year of Guangming, the 30,000 vanguard army under the command of Xiahou Che, the king of Xiangwu, who was unaware, encountered an ambush when they marched to the Baijiangwan area. The 30,000 vanguard troops under the command of King Xiangwu were almost immediately defeated, and the battle ended in just three hours. Of the 30,000 vanguard troops under the command of King Xiangwu, 24,000 surrendered and 6,000 died.

The result of the battle, in fact, made Bai Wei, Wan Xun and Liang Liang very surprised, they interrogated the prisoners, only to know that these soldiers were captured by the strong men, and did not accept much combat effectiveness at all, and among these people there are also believers in the Illuminati, these believers publicized the policies of the Illuminati to these people before the war, so that many soldiers took the initiative to lay down their arms and surrender, for them, it is simply unimaginable for them to have a piece of land of their own. However, the Illuminati were able to make it happen.

After learning that his forward army of 30,000 was all annihilated by the Guangming Army, Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, did not realize his mistake, but instead implemented the tactic of adding fuel and once again ordered the general Wu Fei under his command to lead the 100,000 horses to attack Baijiang County. However, in order to prevent a repeat of the mistakes of the past, he ordered the 100,000 men to attack no longer on Baijiang Bay, but on Baozhuang, a large village near Baijiang County, with a population of about 800 households. In the wrong understanding of Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, there should be no mistake in attacking such a small village with 100,000 people! However, he never imagined that the people of Baozhuang had already organized Bao Liang and Bao Guang, members of the Illuminati Society in the village, and formed a people's army of 800 people. At the same time, more than a dozen large and small villages adjacent to Baozhuang spontaneously organized people's armies and quickly rushed to the aid of Baozhuang.

Before the 100,000 troops under the command of Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, arrived in Baozhuang, Baozhuang had gathered a whole 10,000 people's army, and its combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of the army under the command of King Xiangwu.

On the 15th day of March in the first year of Guangming, Wu Fei led an army of 100,000 troops to Baozhuang at this time. When Wu Fei sent his younger brother Wu Jin to lead 3,000 soldiers into Baozhuang, and Wu Jin was originally the same as Wu Fei, they were all ruffians and hooligans, and they had almost no talent for leading troops to fight, but Wu Fei and Wu Jin's sister was the concubine of Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, so they were naturally promoted to generals. Such an incompetent person actually commanded an army of 100,000, I have to say that it is the sorrow of this 100,000 army.

When Wu Jin rode a tall horse, led 3,000 men and horses, and triumphantly entered Baozhuang, the whole Baozhuang was quiet. Wu Jin did not hesitate to believe that the local people were afraid of his escape, and he immediately ordered the army to loot the property of Baozhuang from house to house, and prepared to burn the entire village.

However, as one of the soldiers under Wu Jin's command was about to go to a common people's pigsty to catch a pig, his feet suddenly fell empty, and he was directly stabbed into a hedgehog by the spikes in the trap under his feet, and before he reached the trap, he screamed miserably. As this scream sounded, the soldiers under Wu Jin's command let out screams one after another, and they were all missing!

Wu Jin had never encountered such a situation before, and he didn't know how to command it for a while? He had no idea that the underground of Baozhuang and dozens of neighboring villages had long since formed a network of underground tunnels extending in all directions. And the 3,000 soldiers led by Wu Jin have all been attacked by the soldiers of the civilian army who are hidden in the tunnels. When Wu Jin tried to escape, an arrow shot from the bottom of the stone mill pierced his neck, and he fell to the ground and died, and all the 1,800 of the 3,000 soldiers he led surrendered.

When a soldier under the command of Wu Jin, who had been deliberately released by the Baozhuang People's Army, fled to the camp where Wu Fei's army was stationed in confusion and informed Wu Fei of the situation, Wu Fei, who was furious, immediately ordered the army to attack Baozhuang quickly, and he ordered Baozhuang to be razed to the ground.

However, Yang Zhensuo, the captain of the Guangming Army, led an army of 100,000 troops from the Zhenzi battalion under his command, and had already arrived in Baozhuang. The Zhenzi battalion under his command has 60,000 elite cavalry, and the remaining 40,000 are infantry. Therefore, in order to prevent the enemy army from destroying and harming the people, Yang Zhen immediately ordered 60,000 elite cavalry to quickly charge the 100,000 army led by Wu Fei.

When Wu Fei's army felt that the earth under his feet was shaking, they had no time to resist! Because with the shaking of the earth, Wu Fei's army suddenly found that the air was covered with a dense rain of arrows, and as a result, as the arrows rained down, the army under Wu Fei's command suffered heavy losses, and the survivors were completely frightened by the army of the Bright Army rushing towards them in front of them.

And Kang Guozhong, the deputy commander of the 60,000 elite cavalry under the command of the Zhenzi battalion, brandished a saber and took the lead in rushing into the army led by Wu Fei, and as a result, the army led by Wu Fei tore a huge gap.

Wu Fei saw that the army he led had collapsed, and immediately began to lead the hundred horsemen to escape, but how did Kang Guozhong let him go, only to see him bend his bow and arrows, and aim directly at the fleeing Wu Fei.

With a "whoosh", Wu Fei fell to the ground in response, and the arrow sent by Kang Guozhong shot directly from the back of his neck and shot out of his left cheek.

And Wu Fei's army, which had no leader, quickly laid down its weapons under the instigation of the members of the Illuminati within the group.

The Battle of Baozhuang lasted less than five hours, and the Guangming Army captured 86,000 people and killed and wounded 14,000.

The news of the defeat reached the ears of Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, and he was really unbelievable. He didn't believe that a whole hundred thousand soldiers and horses could be wiped out by the Bright Army so quickly? Therefore, he directly chose to become an ostrich buried in the sand, turning a deaf ear to the news of the defeat, and also falsely spreading the good news. His stubbornness and self-righteousness will eventually lead him to a cruel defeat.

Three days later, on March 18 of the first year of Guangming, Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, personally led his army and attacked the frontline between Baijiang County and Baozhuang, which seemed to be weakly defended by Pandian, Mengzhuang, and Jiajiamen.

It's a pity that the information that Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, mistakenly detected, is simply false. In the defensive positions on the front line of Pandian, Mengzhuang and Jiajiamen, 300,000 regular soldiers of the Guangming Army and 600,000 Guangming Army and civilian troops were gathered. For the Bright Army and the People's Army who fought for them, all the people were full of gratitude and admiration.

On the other hand, the grain and grass of the army led by Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, was basically the grain that the officials at all levels of the three counties ruled by the king of Xiangwu scavenged from the hands of the people, but those local heroes never handed over a grain of grain. As a result, for this war, the three prefectures under the rule of King Xiangwu were simply starving.

On March 19, an army of more than 700,000 led by Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, arrived at the line of Pandian, Mengzhuang and Jiajiamen. As a result, when its forward foothold was not stable, it was immediately attacked by 12,000 elite cavalry led by Du Bin, the former battalion captain under the command of Qiu Shijie's Jiezi battalion, and all its forwards were defeated by the front battalion army led by Du Bing.

On March 20, Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, mistakenly saw the retreating vanguard army, and he was furious, personally beheaded one of the officers who had fled, and ordered the whole army to continue the march. However, he didn't know that he was already in the encirclement of the Bright Army and the Bright Army.

On March 22, even if Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, gave the wrong order, his army could not break through the defensive line held by the Guangming Army and the Guangming Army and the Civilian Army. However, when the battle of Baozhuang was won, the soldiers of the 100,000 Zhenzi battalion led by Commander Yang Zhen and Deputy Commander Kang Guozhong directly attacked the right flank of the army of Xiahou Che, the king of Xiangwu. As a result, the right flank of the army of Xiahou Che, the king of Xiangwu, was completely crushed by the Zhenzi battalion, and a full 80,000 people were directly captured.

On March 25, when Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu, realized that something was wrong, his army was surrounded by the Guangming Army and the Guangming Army and the Bright Army and the People's Army. What Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, did not expect was that when he led the army to invade the territory of the Illuminati, his five sons suddenly fought hard, and as a result, they directly cut off the retreat and logistics of Xiahou, the king of Xiangwu.

At the time of the siege until March 30, the Guangming Army and the Guangming Army and the People's Army, which surrounded the army of Xiahou Cuo, the king of Xiangwu, launched a general attack.

The battle lasted less than a day, and the king of Xiangwu, Xiahou, killed himself, and the army under his command reached 650,000 people.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
