They all understood that Bai Yutian was going to take action now, and the next step would be a real decisive battle.
Soon, Gu Chengxuan also learned the news about Mingzhou City, and sent someone to send a letter of challenge to a showdown with Bai Yutian.
Both Bai Yutian and Gu Chengxuan are looking forward to this battle, or they are both willing to fight it.
Bai Yutian needs to rely on this battle to completely defeat Gu Chengxuan, eliminate the Tianyi rebels, and then support Eagle City.
And Gu Chengxuan also planned to use this battle to delay time and help the northern barbarians defeat Eagle City.
Moreover, although the Dashun regime currently established by Gu Chengxuan is very stable, it is far inferior to the Great Zhou in terms of land and population.
If external factors were not considered, the Great Zhou Dynasty would be able to eliminate Gu Chengxuan's Dashun Kingdom sooner or later if it relied on war to support war.
Therefore, Gu Chengxuan could not delay.
After receiving Gu Chengxuan's letter of challenge, Bai Yutian immediately wrote back to Gu Chengxuan, agreeing that the two sides would fight at Linjiangkou seven days later.
Linjiangkou is twenty miles away from Mingzhou City and ten miles away from Tancheng. It is a place that connects many cities in the original Mingzhou.
At present, the rebels have occupied many cities, including Tancheng, and are also planning to march towards Linjiangkou.
After replying to the rebels, Bai Yutian issued an order to Xu Hu, asking his army to move south and approach Mingzhou City.
Ensure that after the war begins, timely support or pursuit and interception can be provided.
The rebels did not show any weakness. Under the leadership of Deng Hong, an army of 100,000 people crossed Yuanhe and started a confrontation with Xu Hu again, clearly intending to drag Xu Hu away.
This 100,000-strong army may not be able to defeat Xu Hu, but once a fight breaks out, it will definitely be able to stop Xu Hu's footsteps and make Xu Hu unable to take care of the entire battlefield.
In response, Xu Hu directly led a few soldiers to leave the military camp and rushed towards Mingzhou City.
The first is to talk about the situation and discuss countermeasures, and the second is to visit Jing Ling and others.
After all, Xu Hu had watched Jing Ling grow up. This time Jing Ling was seriously injured and his life was in danger. Xu Hu had long been distressed and wanted to visit.
Bai Yutian personally climbed to the top of Mingzhou City and waited for Xu Hu's arrival.
As one of the few veterans in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xu Hu played an important leadership role on the battlefield.
However, when the appointed time came, Bai Yutian still did not find Xu Hu.
The strong wind blew and dust filled the sky, which seemed to give a sense of sadness.
"Not good!" Bai Yutian's pupils shrank, realizing that something was not right.
There are traitors even in Mingzhou City, and Xu Hu's military camp may not be monolithic.
If Xu Hu's route is leaked, there is no guarantee that the rebels will not take this opportunity to eliminate Xu Hu.
"Chu Xue, Kou Wang, hurry up and support Xu Hu."
After Zhao Chuxue and Kou Wang received the order, they agreed directly without any hesitation.
Zhao Chuxue flashed, disappeared on the city wall with several dragon guards, and rushed towards the distance.
Kou Wang also quickly gathered his own troops. After a brief arrangement, he went directly out of the city to pick up Xu Hu.
As Bai Yutian expected, a traitor did appear on Xu Hu's side, and Xu Hu's route was also told to the rebels.
Xu Hu discovered something was wrong with the traitor in advance and executed him in front of everyone.
But it still didn't stop the traitor from passing on the news, causing him to be surrounded.
At this moment, there were only dozens of people around Xu Hu, and around them, there were hundreds of dark soldiers, staring at them eagerly.
Not only that, among these people, there were also several powerful pseudo-grandmasters with Tianjia, mixed in the crowd, ready to attack Xu Hu at any time.
Xu Hu knew that these people came with bad intentions, so after seeing them, he actually chose to take the initiative.
Xu Hu rode a fast horse and suddenly rushed towards the enemy. At the same time, he drew his bow and shot an arrow. He directly hit a rebel general with an arrow, causing him to fall off his horse.
Afterwards, several generals came out of the crowd and wanted to work together to kill Xu Hu.
As for Xu Hu's men, they were all besieged individually, and hundreds of rebels were enough to surround them.
These generals attacked Xu Hu almost at the same time, and Xu Hu sneered, raised his sword, and slashed with unparalleled power, creating a strong wind.
One of them faced Xu Hu and was directly killed by Xu Hu.
Although Xu Hu is the deputy general of Fenghuo Camp, his strength cannot be underestimated.
After years of fighting, Xu Hu's body has already been trained to have fighting instincts, and he has rich fighting experience.
Even a true master may not be able to kill Xu Hu.
Upon seeing this, the remaining pseudo-grandmasters took action together and rushed towards Xu Hu.
They sent out so many people, and even several pseudo-grandmasters. If they couldn't kill even one of the generals of Great Zhou, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if word spread.
