Ganshui starts from the mountains north of Ganshui Pass in the southern part of Anling County, crosses the mountains all the way north, and turns to the east to the south of Chuancheng, border town in the northern part of Anling County, flows into the southern part of Guangjun, and then passes through Xiucheng and merges into Yahe River.

Ganshui is also the junction between the northern part of Yongchang County and the Chuancheng area of ​​Anling County. The two sides face each other through water. For hundreds of years, the two places have been commuted by ferries, and the people have intermarried and are quite harmonious.

But this harmonious atmosphere was completely broken a few days ago.

The army of Yongchang County took advantage of the night to cross the Ganshui River and marched under the city of Chuancheng overnight. The two passes south of Chuancheng could not even be used to fire the beacon.

If the general guarding the pass had not realized it, he still fled to the death and ventured to pass on the information of the enemy's attack back to Sichuan City, he might have even changed his master in one night.

But even so, Chuancheng still had difficulty defending. The bloody battle on the city walls was fought overnight. The Yongchang army was fierce in siege, and the Sichuan city defenders were far beyond the expectations of the opponent's chief general.

Blood stains the city walls, but the city does not.

At dawn, the Yongchang Army was forced to retreat, leaving the west on three sides of the siege, forcing the surrounding people to build the outer walls and siege equipment for it. It was siege to attack the city for a long time, but launched a surprise attack at night, using individual strong men as arrows to quickly capture a corner of the city. The elite infantry soldiers followed closely behind and the ants were attached. The attacking side's morale was greatly boosted for a moment and attacked the city like a broken bamboo!

However, when he first entered the city, he encountered the most cruel sniper. The head general of the defender was a gray-haired old general named Xing Jushu. He was old and weak, but he still led the way. He also took the strong individual soldiers as an arrow and deliberately abandoned the street fighting in the city. Instead, he suddenly cut off the road of subsequent reinforcements on the attacking side on the city wall, trapping the enemy in the city!

That night, except for a few strong men from the fourth level or above who were strong in the Yongchang attacking side, all the soldiers entering the city died in battle!

In just two nights of offense and defense, both sides fought extremely fiercely.

Then the battle situation fell into a stalemate. Yongchang County besieged the city and defended it. It set up two ambushes to defeat the reinforcements of Anling County. The Lord of Sichuan City just shrank in the city, constantly building up defensive fortifications inside and outside the city wall, and forced the city wall to use all residential buildings within dozens of meters of miles as secondary defenses, making a long-term battle. No matter how Yongchang Army provoked it outside the city, it just couldn't stand it.

After more than half a month, the Yongchang Army took advantage of the cover of the night to make another night attack. The inconspicuous city gate was almost open, but it eventually failed and returned.

The Lord of Sichuan City, Xing Jushu and the defenders, carefully guarded the city wall all night. When it was dawn, he found that there were no figures in the enemy camp that could be seen outside the city, as if the siege of the city the night before was also an illusion.

On this day, the reinforcements from Anling County finally entered Sichuan City, and Xing Jushu finally got some important military information from the reinforcements. The angry old general led nearly 10,000 elite troops out of the city despite the dissuasion of his aides, and rushed to catch up with the tail of the Yongchang Army and fought for a long time. Once the Yongchang Army tried to adjust its formation, the old general led his army to withdraw, and so on, trying to hold back the pace of the Yongchang Army's retreat.

However, when he was entangled at the third time, he almost saw Ganshui River, he fell into the ambush of Meng Zi'an, the commander of Yongchang Army. The Yongchang Front Army, which was originally thought to have crossed the river first, appeared on both sides of the Chuancheng Army for some reason, and directly crossed the Chuancheng Army. The old general Xing Jushu was still not panicked when he was shocked. He turned the rear army into a front arrow, forced the front army to open a gap in retreat, and then joined forces to change the formation, fled all the way back and gathered the defeated army into the formation, barely supporting the situation of failure.

Just as the two armies were fighting and fighting, on a small hill not far from the battlefield, a middle-aged general with cold eyebrows and square lips stood with a sword. He frowned slightly and stared at the "Xing" flag symbolizing the main general in the defeated army in Chuancheng City, without saying a word.

Beside him, a strategist dressed in a beautiful face and dressed as a scholar, put his sleeves in his hands, staring at the big banner of the word "Xing", with a heavy face as deep as water. "If Li Jun hadn't suddenly disturbed the situation, Xing Jushu would have the life to return to Sichuan City after a battle? When he was under the city, it would be the day when Sichuan City changed its ownership. It's hateful that Li Cheng Meng..." He seemed to realize that the words he was about to say were inappropriate, so he stopped talking, and immediately was unhappy and couldn't help but snorted coldly.

The middle-aged general finally moved his eyes away from the "Xing" banner and looked at the Ganshui River south of the mountain. There were already the first batch of soldiers on board to cross the river. "Now Tongcang City has fallen into Zhao Wuji's hands. Zheng Cang replied to him in a letter, and most of the time it was already lost. I asked Kan'er to abandon Liangcang City. Even if most of the northern part of Yongchang County is gone, even if Chuan City is taken, it will be just an isolated land, and it is meaningless."

The scholar was obviously furious, but he tried his best to restrain himself. "Before sending troops, the general wrote to the prefect, saying that it would not be better to go north to plan Anling County if the dust settled in Licheng. The prefect did not listen and insisted on taking advantage of the stalls of Guangjun to conduct the Northern Expedition. He didn't think that Meng Fanxing was the one who succeeded? Then Luo Tianen was not an easy person? Now, there must be a huge chaos in Licheng. Luo Tianen might not be poisoned at all. Everything was just to use Meng Fanxing's mouth to plot against the northern part of our Yongchang County!"

The middle-aged general did not respond at all to the scholar's name, but said coldly, "It's over here, and it's useless to say more. Now Kan'er burned the grain inventory in Liangcang City according to your plan, and handed over the city to Han Feng. Zhao Wuji, who was eager to take down the three major military towns in the northern part of Yongchang County, has already arrived at Liangcang City. Both sides must not give up easily. We can join forces with Kan'er to go south. If there is still something to do, we will take advantage of the opportunity to regain Zhengcang. If it is not possible, we will lead our troops to the south to Guiyi City. As long as most of our northern army are still there, there will still be room for the situation in northern Yongchang after some repairs..."

Unexpectedly, the scholar suddenly became anxious, "General must not go south to Yicheng! You know the character of the prefect. Although the current situation is due to his strategic loss, the situation has reached an extremely evil level. He must be punished by the general, the commander of the Northern Expedition. Now the general integrates the Northern Army, and there are still tens of thousands of people. If Zheng Cang City is recaptured at any cost, he will confront Han Feng and Zhao Wuji's army in the northern part of Yongchang with it. The prefect cannot really move the general when he is afraid. If the general goes south to Yicheng, his fortune will be difficult to protect his fortune!"

"The supplies, grain and grass of the northern coalition forces were supported by the Liangcang and Zhengcang. Now both places have changed hands. Although Kan'er still brought a batch of grain and grass with his army before leaving Liangcang City, it would not last long. If Zhengcang City had the opportunity to fall, it would be fine. If it didn't work, my alone army attacked Zhengcang City, and if it failed, he was entangled by Zhao Wuji's army. Once the light cavalry of Lijun appeared on the battlefield, my tens of thousands of troops would probably be lost to the north. At that time, I, Meng Zi'an, not only died without a burial place, but also became a sinner of Yongchang County," the middle-aged general shook his head and sighed, "Shui Sheng, Meng Zi'an is still a member of the Meng family after all. The Meng family can be unkind to me, but I cannot be unrighteous to the Meng family..."

The scholar gritted his teeth and said, "What should the major general do? I can't even tie my hands and feet back to the Yicheng?"

The middle-aged general hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "Kan'er... let Kan'er lead my elite troops back to southern Xinjiang to find his grandfather. From now on, all kinds of things can only depend on what God will do..."
