The floating corpses on the Yuan River were mixed with thick blood. Under the setting sun, the faces reflected in the river looked like ghosts, but no one was panicked, and they were just holding weapons mechanically.

They shouted and ran, and many people fell down.

These strong men don't seem to know what they are doing, they just fight each other mechanically.

This is the third time that the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion have fought against the Yuanjiang River. Tong Yan and An Kui shouted to each other. They no longer asked the soldiers to maintain a stable formation because everyone was stuck together. This was a tragic scene.

In the battle, even the half-dead Gu Qingfeng appeared on the opposite side.

Gu Xifeng was seen raising his spear, and then the roaring Gu soldiers and horses dragged a long ray of light through the coming darkness.

Tong Yan looked back at Mo Geng and others who were lying on the edge of the ravine, and saw that Zhuo Bailing was already covered in clothes and even had his mask on. He knew that Zhuo Bailing was also preparing to leave the city, and the battlefield was full of thick smoke.

Smoke and distant sounds of fighting.

Suddenly, the cavalry and the spearmen were entangled, aggravating the chaos. A loud noise made the horses jump. The soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion were trampled by the frightened horses, and there were wailing sounds everywhere in the ground.

Both Gu Xifeng and Tong Yan both had gloomy faces and indifferent attitudes.

Gu Qingfeng was sitting half-relying on the chariot, watching the soldiers lying on the ground one by one. She knew that everyone was at the end of their strength, so she tried her best to use Star Spread, but she didn't expect that there was actually something hidden in the water of the ravine.

The team of soldiers directly reduced the effect of the Star Lottery and created opportunities for the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion to attack. She tried her best.

As night fell, the last charge ended with the dull sound of the horn. Both sides retreated to lick their wounds. This day's head-to-head confrontation left nearly ten thousand corpses on the battlefield.

"Zhuo Shuai, today is over." Tong Yanlei's eyes were dazzled, and he tried his best to smile.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and let the medical officer take a look at the injury." It's not that Zhuo Bailing is ruthless, but he really doesn't know what to say. He can't promise anything to the soldiers because he himself doesn't know what he will encounter tomorrow.

Today I personally witnessed on the battlefield what a dotted chessboard is. If three ravines had not been arranged in advance to hide soldiers in the water, the Yuanling City would have collapsed in half. In this fierce battle, the soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion blocked the Gu family's troops in the Yuanjiang River.

On the shore, the price was high. Two captains and four school lieutenants were all killed in the battle. Even An Kui was seriously injured.

Mo Geng came up wet and happened to meet Tong Yan who was about to go down. The two of them looked at each other without saying a word. They always disliked each other because of their different responsibilities. Tong Yan was disgusted by Mingjian Division's cruelty, and Mo Geng despised Tong.

Yan was brainless, but today the eyes of the two of them were full of respect. Tong Yan admired Mo Geng's heroic appearance on the battlefield, and Mo Geng admired Tong Yan's determination to fight to the death.

"Zhuo Shuai, the three gullies have been reinforced, but the damage is too great. I'm afraid we won't be able to do the watch tonight." Mo Geng told the truth, there is no need to hold on at this time. He can say that he can hold on, but in fact he can't.

, it’s everyone who is being dragged down.

Zhuo Bailing responded with a forced smile to Mo Geng: "Thank you for your hard work, Young Inspector Mo. I will do the duty work. You go down and rest quickly. The flying pigeons from Mingjian Division are here. Let's see what news there is."

Mo Geng felt nervous. The news that even Zhuo Bailing didn't understand must be the top secret among top secrets. Without saying anything, he hurriedly left with a fist in his arms.

Before he could go down, Mo Geng's relatives came up to him casually and handed the secret message to Mo Geng. Mo Geng quickly scanned it and his face, which had been full of bitterness and hatred, actually burst into a smile. Without caring about etiquette, he turned around and shouted: "

Zhuo Shuai! Zhuo Shuai! A great victory for the right guard! Chen commanded the formation to kill ten thousand men and easily defeated Zhijiang!"

When Zhuo Bailing heard this voice, he almost thought he was dreaming. You Wei was victorious? And he defeated ten thousand soldiers with ease? He actually defeated Zhijiang with ease? Is Chen Zhiqing a god?

Regardless of his identity, Zhuo Bailing quickly asked: "Are you sure it was Youwei who took Zhijiang?!"

Mo Geng nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, unable to conceal his excitement at all. Then he took a closer look at the letter and said with certainty: "Last night, the right guard entered Zhijiang and killed the Zhijiang defenders.

Thousands of people.”

"Hahaha! Good! Good! Good!" Zhuo Bailing laughed and shouted three times. Although I don't know how Chen Zhiqing managed to get from Xupu to Zhijiang, the fall of Zhijiang County will definitely make Cao Li sleep and eat.

Unfortunately, Feng You's withdrawal is certain.

"Send the order for the Nancheng garrison to switch defenses with Dongcheng!" Zhuo Bailing gave the order confidently. Since Feng You can't come, there's no need to hide him. Let's have a good fight with the Gu family tomorrow.

Chen Zhiqing could not feel Zhuo Bailing's instant relief. Three thousand people in disguise rushed to Zhijiang City in batches day and night. With their last strength, they captured Zhijiang at night. Three thousand people fought with each other in the city.

The garrison of ten thousand people fought hard all night and were caught off guard

Instead of killing nearly 5,000 people at a cost of 800, the remaining enemy troops were so frightened by the crazily killing Zhengxi Army that they dropped their weapons and surrendered early. In order not to cause trouble for themselves, Chen Zhiqing killed all the surrenders.

He was imprisoned in a military camp and put under intensive guard.

"Commander, we are all exhausted. Can we rest in Zhijiang for two days?" The guards came to see Chen Zhiqing with suggestions from the lieutenant colonels.

"No!" Chen Zhiqing decisively refused, and then continued: "We must rush to Hezhou tomorrow afternoon and we cannot let Cao Li react."

"But we can fight with less than 2,000 men." The guard couldn't help but tell the actual situation of the right guard.

Chen Zhiqing was not angry because of the guard's question, and said slowly: "We went to Hezhou to harass Cao Li and force Feng You to return to the army as soon as possible. We will return immediately the next morning and escort the five thousand prisoners westward to eastern Guizhou."

This amazing fighting style made the guards dumbfounded. After such a long-distance attack, Chen Zhiqing actually wanted to march into Eastern Guizhou. Could it be that this uncle was crazy?

Chen Zhiqing is really not crazy. Everyone's eyes are fixed on Yuanling. Sizhou in eastern Guizhou is not well defended. Only Yuping Pass in Xiongxi in Sizhou is the key. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as Yuping is captured, Cao Cao

Regardless of whether they are Li or Eastern Guizhou, they will all turn their attention to Yuping Pass. Even if it cannot be defended, it is not a problem for more than two thousand people on the right guard to escape, but who says that it will definitely not be defended?

There were wailing sounds everywhere in Gu's military camp. At this moment, Gu Xifeng seemed to be unable to hear the sounds outside. Two strings of tears hung on his face. His eyes were full of despair and hatred. He didn't hate Zhengxi Mansion, he hated the imperial court.

treachery and Gu's indifference towards him.

Gu Qingfeng's face was frighteningly pale. He was lying on his side with his body hunched over and smiling miserably at Gu Xifeng. Blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth. The silk cloth in Gu Xifeng's hand was already soaked with blood. "Brother, withdraw, reinforcements will not come."

Gu Qingfeng's voice was almost breathless when he spoke.

After using the technique twice in two consecutive days, Gu Qingfeng's body has reached its limit. None of the reinforcements Gu Xifeng has been waiting for have arrived, and none of the soldiers sent to ask for help have come back. He doesn't know whether he can't come back or whether he can't come back.

Well, the Imperial Hezhou Army, which was originally scheduled to join the battle this afternoon, did not show up at Yuanling City at all, and the support promised by Xingzhou also did not arrive.

"Withdraw, what will my father do if we withdraw? What will we do with this room?" Gu Xifeng said, holding on.

"Brother," Gu Qingfeng became a little anxious. Along with the violent cough, Gu Qingfeng spat out another mouthful of blood. His undulating chest actually calmed down, but his face became even more ugly. He was completely out of shape. He was such a beautiful young woman.

At this moment, his withered look and messy hair looked like a drought-stricken creature.

Gu Qingfeng struggled and said: "The two groups of soldiers and horses must have been hindered from coming over. If we don't withdraw, they will all be buried here. Besides, no matter what happens to the court, at least the Gu family will not see it.

It will cost us death, so we must withdraw!"

Where did Gu Xifeng have any ideas? Gu Qingfeng's words were confusing in his mind, "Where to retreat? Back to Anhua?"

"We can't go back to Anhua! It doesn't matter who controls Anhua at this time. Let's go north to Wuling." Gu Qingfeng's tone was soft but firm.

"Why? Anhua should be safe, right?" Gu Xifeng was confused about Gu Qingfeng's judgment for the first time.

"Brother, didn't you notice that all the men who appeared on the battlefield this year were Zhuo Bailing's men? The soldiers and horses ambush in the ravine all used Dongyang City's water-avoiding tactics. Although they were used very crudely, they must be water-avoiding tactics.

, I can't tell whether Meng Yan is in the city, but I am sure that Ye Bohuai is definitely not in Yuanling." Gu Qingfeng analyzed in detail.

"Then where is Ye Bohuai?" Gu Xifeng asked.

"Ye Bohuai is the second-ranking figure in Zhengxi Mansion. It stands to reason that when Meng Yan leads his troops, Ye Bohuai will definitely stay behind. But brother, have you ever thought about what would happen if Ye Bohuai were not in Baoqing?" Gu Qingfeng must clearly tell Gu Xifeng the current reality.

"Yiyang! Will Ye Bohuai go to Yiyang?" Gu Xifeng finally became smart for once.

"Brother is right. As long as Ye Bohuai takes action, reinforcements from Xingzhou cannot arrive. This is the only reasonable explanation. If Yiyang falls, is there any point in us returning to Anhua? We only have one way to go north to Wuling, and Wuling is our only way.

Hope." Gu Qingfeng's voice was as smooth as a silk thread.

"Sister, it's not that I don't want to believe you, it's just that we came to Yuanling and lost so many people and then retreated in such a dejected manner. No matter what the situation is, our room will not be able to hold our heads up. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will decide

Will capture Yuanling!" Gu Xifeng thought about it for a while but rejected Gu Qingfeng's proposal. In his heart, the weight of his family and his father was greater than his own.

Gu Qingfeng was already unconscious, but her eyelids were still beating. She seemed to want to dissuade her brother, but she could do nothing.

Gu Xifeng slowly covered the blanket, then wiped his armor silently, put on the armor carefully and walked out of the tent. He whispered to the guards outside the tent: "You four must protect the young lady, no matter what happens tomorrow.

You must send the young lady back to my father in Xingzhou."

"Master! You..." A guard heard the decisive tone and wanted to ask more, but was stopped by Gu Xifeng.

"Remember your mission and don't worry about anything else." Gu Xifeng said sternly.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from the direction of Yuanling City. Before Gu Xifeng could react, the soldiers on patrol came from the camp and shouted: "Enemy attack!"

Gu Xifeng didn't have time to say anything else and hurriedly mounted his horse to fight. Sadness surged in his heart. It seemed that he had to face it by himself this time and could not escape. Then he glanced at Gu Qingfeng's tent and rushed outside with a gun.

Zhuo Bailing refused Tong Yan's request to go into battle and personally led 10,000 troops to launch a night attack on Gu Xifeng's camp. Soon the two sides were fighting. Most of Gu's troops were exhausted after the fierce battle during the day.

Seizing this point, Zhuo Bailing ignored the obstructions from the left and right and led his troops directly towards the Chinese army's tent.

Not long after, Zhuo Bailing ran into Gu Xifeng. Gu Xifeng's marksmanship was completely reckless and he wanted to kill Zhuo Bailing. Zhuo Bailing rarely went into battle in person since he joined Meng Yan.

The fight became stalemate.

Gu's soldiers and horses were not as good as the troops brought by Zhuo Bailing, but they began to collapse in just a stick of incense. Seeing this, Gu Xifeng could only let the sergeants fight and retreat. When they retreated to the bank of the Yuan River, they wanted to cross the bridge.

When we went to the east bank, we never thought that Mo would demolish the pontoon bridge earlier, leaving Gu's troops with no way out.

"In the past, the overlord fought his last battle! Today, the children of the Gu family are fulfilling their filial piety for their homeland!" Gu Xifeng shouted with all his strength, but there was not much response to the shout.

"Soldiers of Zhengxi Mansion! In front of you are the Gu family who have been poisoning Xingtan for thousands of years. Are you still willing to be enslaved by them?!" Zhuo Bailing's shout became more popular, and responses immediately spread all over the place.

The two armies stopped talking, and soon there was a violent collision, and the shouts of killing floated over the Yuanjiang River. It was destined to be a sleepless night.
