The brutality of the Xuzhou soldiers and the ghost of the black water reappeared, as the army sneaked around Jinan Pass and skillfully seized Cangzhou Pass all the way to the north, it had already spread all over the north and south of the Yellow River in an instant, alarming the inside and outside of the Great Wall; in addition, the king of Zhengnan personally led 100,000 elite soldiers to follow up, not only sent troops to besiege Jinan Pass, cut off the largest foreign aid from the periphery of the rebel army of Wanyan Fuqing, but also sent 50,000 heavy troops to follow the Xuzhou soldiers north to participate in the suppression of the main force of the rebels. This move shocked the generals who supported their troops and wanted to be on the wall in all important places of the Jin State, and the generals from all walks of life hurriedly came forward to condemn the rebellion of the Yan Fuqing family, and sent troops to King Qin. For a while, the situation in the northern world changed greatly, although the rebel army gathered 70,000 heavy troops around Kyoto, but it was already frightened and trembling like a cicada, and overnight, thousands of soldiers dispersed.

Wanyan Fuqing, Uncle Jin Zhutang, Marshal of the Left Capital of Soldiers and Horses, the eldest of the Jin family, the most capable of commanding troops to fight in the Jin Kingdom, his four brothers, all of them can fight well, they are high and powerful, and the protégés will be all over the world, and they will not take the gold master in their eyes. Because the gold lord has been advocating a truce for many years, he has weakened the power of the generals and commanders of the DPRK and the central government, and concentrated the military power in the hands of the king of Zhengnan, which has caused the generals to be quite unhappy in private. Many of his subordinates instigated Yan Fuqing to come forward to ascend and call for the new lord, so Wan Yan Fuqing took advantage of the time when the gold lord worshiped him as the general of Fuyuan and led the troops to Jiaodong to quell the rebellion, and contacted the old generals and many old kings in Shangjing to launch a rebellion, wanting to re-establish the new lord. Unexpectedly, the benevolent government of the gold lord has been implemented for several years and has won the support of the people, the low-level general Zuoduo is unwilling to rebel, and the king of Jin's own brother Zhengnan led 300,000 male soldiers to garrison along the Huai River. Although the high-ranking official Houlu of Wanyan Fuqing made an attractive offer, he only made the generals of Jinan and Cangzhou participate in the mutiny.

After receiving the remnants of the army in front of Xuzhou about the skillful capture of Cangzhou Pass, the soldiers immediately divided into two routes, leaving 30,000 people under the command of his brother Wanyan Fuzhong to besiege the four gates of the capital, and stepped up the siege of the outside of the city, bringing 40,000 troops to the decisive battle with the Xuzhou soldiers in order to win a decisive battle, and ordered people to quickly urge the rebels to move closer to Kyoto. Wanyan Fuqing sent the general Zhou Wei, the generals Peng Hu and Qiu Wei, with 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 foot soldiers to find the main force of the Xuzhou soldiers, and led the whole army to camp in Tongbai Town outside Beijing and wait, and collected more than 10,000 rebels who fled back to the periphery, and there were more than 50,000 rebels under his command at this time.

In the evening of this day, Zhou Wei and others had already meandered forward more than 100 miles away from Tongbai and were anchored in Jiuxian Town. Jiuxian Town is the road leading to Tongbai, the capital must pass, is a wetland with many ponds, lush trees, small population, extremely unfavorable to the development of the army, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Yan Fuqing's old plan, he picked this unfavorable horse army and was not afraid of fire attack, only the infantry army charged into battle to explore the needs of the Xuzhou soldiers, frustrate their spirit, and boost the morale of the rebels.

The third general of Zhou Wei chatted in the big tent, and Qiu Wei said: "General Zhou, you said that this Xuzhou soldier is really so powerful, the last general heard that the Xuzhou soldier has only been in the army for a year, and the leader is a doll in his early twenties, even if he has been leading troops to fight since he was born in his mother's womb, he is really so clever than me waiting for these thirty or forty years old, and the person who has fought all his life is really so smart?"

Peng Hu also said on the side: "That is, I think the general soldier of Cangzhou is the third uncle, look at the fat head and big ears, usually fishing for oil and water, and hair female majesty] is acceptable, is it the material to be a general soldier? Being a cavalry captain is already his ancestor burning incense. No, it's not like I'm waiting for outsiders to charge ahead!"

Zhou Wei shook his hand and stopped: "The two generals don't say anything inconsequential and useless, let's think about how to find a way to stop the Xuzhou soldiers and the 50,000 horses of the King of Zhengnan." The general ordered us to fortify here, and we have the general's intentions!"

Peng Hu shook his head and sneered: "What's the intention! With the few people we have at hand, we want to block the Xuzhou soldiers and dream! It's not that I can wait to be a substitute for the dead ghosts, so as to pave the way for others to make meritorious contributions!"

Qiu Wei hurriedly said: "Doesn't the general know that the ghost of the black water has also appeared, and I heard that it is in the Xuzhou soldiers." We don't have to worry about the Xuzhou baby soldiers, but this black water ghost is elusive, deceitful, and prestigious, it is not a vain, and it has to be guarded against!"

Zhou Wei heard this, sweat broke out on his face, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and was silent. After a moment, Zhou Wei raised his head and said with a wry smile: "We have already betrayed the imperial court, and now where can we recover this leg that stepped out;

Zhou Wei was also a rare general, with 1,000 horses and 1,000 troops in the middle of the official road, and ordered Peng Hu to lead 2,000 horse troops on the left side of the official road, and Qiu Wei to lead 2,000 foot troops on the right side of the official road; and ordered the whole army to dig more soil pits and shallow trenches near the official road, cut down more grass and trees to set up traps, and divert water from all sides, artificially creating a swamp.

The Xuzhou soldiers who went north went all the way non-stop, wearing the stars and the moon, and came to Beijing in the middle of the night. At this time, it was only two hundred miles away from the imperial city, and it was only a quick gallop away. Hearing that the rebels had been divided into two routes, and it was impossible to capture the imperial city in the near future, Ren Tianqi was very relieved, took a breath, and ordered the whole army to rest, and after eating and drinking, he rested for a little time, braved the cold dew, and ordered the whole army to mount and slowly drive.

The army soon came to the outside of Nine Immortals Town, and the fog was thick, and the dampness and cold were heavier. Ren Tianqi also sneezed a few times on the horse, and suddenly felt cold. Dongfang Bai hurriedly took out his cloak and handed it over.

Seeing that the road ahead was getting narrower and narrower, it was very inconvenient for the horses to pass, and the horses were often squeezed down the small ditch on the side of the road, and the army was forced to march to a halt, stretching for more than ten miles, and there was a lot of chaos for a while. The army in front could not walk fast, and the army behind had to all stop, and the road was in chaos.

The black and white eagles were very annoyed and kept loudly reprimanding the soldiers.

Gong Ming Zhong Han hurriedly urged him to check immediately.

After a while, Gong Ming replied to the horse and hurriedly said: "I said master, it's not okay to go on like this, the queue is too long, and it is easy to cut off for the other party, cut and annihilate, and I have to guard against it." Looking at the signs at the intersection ahead, there must be rebels in the vicinity, do you want to leave after dawn?"

Ren Tianqi was also anxious when he heard this, took the horse to the side of the road, looked at the queue and was distracted, and knew in his heart that the march at night was full of dangers, and the long snake formation was even more taboo, which was not as safe as the day, but now the sky was full of fog, and it was neither advance nor retreat; if the whole army retreated from camping, the enemy situation was unclear in all directions, and he was afraid that the enemy would suffer heavy casualties if he was attacked and besieged by the enemy; besides, the army would have to march fifty or sixty miles less for half an hour, and the imperial city would be in danger and could not be delayed. After thinking about it, Ren Tianqi still didn't dare to let the whole army take risks, and specially ordered Black Eagle and Wanyan to lead the three thousand Wanyan family's heavy armored army to go out twenty miles to investigate the military situation;

The fog was heavier, 3,000 heavy armored troops rushed along the official road against the fog, because of the unknown road, strayed into the rebel ambush, many horses stepped on the middle road on the dirt pit and fell, many soldiers were injured in wet clothes, and the team was in chaos for a while, and there were many complaints.

Black Eagle hurriedly dismounted to check, only to see that something was wrong, and hurriedly ordered to retreat.

But it was too late, and a flurry of arrows came from the opposite side, and many soldiers and horses fell. The sergeants fled in all directions, but they saw that the sewers were crisscrossing and swampy, and many soldiers and horses were trapped in them and could not get out, but they were killed by the rebels with arrows, swords and guns.

The heavily armored army gathered on the official road again.

Black Hawk also experienced many life and death tests, and had a lot of combat experience, while ordering resistance, he ordered the sergeants to dismount, block the dead and wounded horses in a circle to block the arrows, leaving only a gap, and luring the enemy into the fight.

In the end, the ironclad army was well-trained, gradually stabilized its position, and sent troops to explore the way to counterattack from time to time.

The enemy army was small, and the fog was not clear, so the rebels did not dare to engage in short combat, so they could only fire arrows from a distance to prevent the ironclad army from breaking through.

Ren Tianqi saw that the ironclad army was ambushed, and the sound of killing in front of him was shocking, and he was shocked when he led the Tiger Guards to come to the rescue, but was forced to retreat by the random arrows, and hurriedly transferred a thousand light archers to step forward and shoot to relieve the pressure on the black eagle.

In the end, due to the poor road surface, the army could not spread, although there were not many losses, but there was not much progress, Ren Tianqi ordered the white eagle to take 500 tiger guards and 1,000 light archers, cut off the opponent, and then attack at dawn;

Ren Tianqi and the others galloped after a detour for more than an hour, and came to the end of the official road of Jiuxian Town, it was already dawn, and the dense fog still did not disperse. Ren Tianqi ordered all the horses to dismount, handed over the horses to the dozens of people left behind to guard, and the whole army entered the town and fought house by house. Here, Black Eagle and the others received a message from Ma Benqing, and when they heard the sound of killing, they also divided into two ways to kill. Gong Ming led the army to attack with all his strength like a tide, and in less than an hour, Zhou Wei took 6,000 men and horses, killed and wounded more than 5,000 people, and the rest escaped in the fog.

Ren Tianqi had a small army, and in this battle lost more than 700 ironclad soldiers, more than 500 others, and more than 500 war horses; killed more than 5,200 enemies and obtained more than 1,000 horses.
