Not far from Luo Tong, there was a middle-aged bearded man holding a spear. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a thunder-patterned horn belt tied around his waist. He had long, shiny black hair, wide-open eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he had a bandit-like air about him.

He is Yang Yanzhang, the powerful man ranked 26th on the Divine Machine List of the Great Song Dynasty. Now, under Luo Tong's deception, he has become the general of the 200,000-strong army that was temporarily formed in front of him.

Luo Tong knew very well that he could be good at making suggestions in the rear, but if he really had to lead a large army to the battlefield, he might die without knowing how.

So he found Yang Yanzhang and successfully lured him to Nanyu County.

"Comrades, the army of the Western Shu Dynasty is attacking Pingxi County. What we need to do now is to rush to Pingxi County's aid."

"When the Lord of the State of Zhenguo left Jinling City, he once said, 'Thirty years of fame and success are nothing but dust and dirt, eight thousand miles of journey are nothing but clouds and moon. Don't wait until your hair turns grey and you are filled with regret.'"

"The Song Dynasty is now in a national crisis. As the sons and daughters of the Song Dynasty, if we are unable to defend our country, it would be a great regret in our lives."

"Besides, if you can defeat the Western Shu Dynasty and make great contributions this time, I, the prefect, will personally ask the court for promotion on your behalf."

Luo Tong's voice resounded in everyone's ears. His already small eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyeballs could no longer be seen.

Not far away, Yang Yanzhang was holding a spear. He was moved by the poem "Man Jiang Hong" by Zhenguojun and agreed to follow Luo Tong to join the army.

"General Yang, it will take at least two days and three nights to get from Wanping City to Waihua County in Pingxi County. That will be a great opportunity for General Yang to make achievements."

"Army attack!"

Luo Tong gave an order and rode his warhorse quickly towards Pingxi County.

Yang Yanzhang had a blank expression on his face. He had just joined the army not long ago and was not even used to wearing armor.

As the saying goes, a skilled man is daring. He believed that as long as he led the army to charge, they would be invincible.

……

Zhuang Yan, with an army of 200,000, had just arrived at the city gate entrance of Hua County.

It is not easy to rush into the narrow city gate quickly.

"Report! Report! Urgent report!"

At this moment, a messenger riding a warhorse from Hua County rushed towards the city gate, and a hurried voice rang out.

Zhuang Yan frowned slightly. He knew very well that Liang Kai and Yuan Tai's 100,000 troops would be able to rush into Hua County and capture it as a sure thing. So why did a messenger suddenly come?

"General, our army encountered an enemy ambush in Hua County. Now the 50,000 troops led by General Liang are trapped in the encirclement."

"General Yuan's 50,000-man army has also been ambushed by the enemy from left and right. The situation is very dangerous now. Please send reinforcements as soon as possible."

The messenger drove his warhorse and quickly came in front of Zhuang Yan with an anxious look on his face.

Zhuang Yan's face turned ugly when he heard this, and his brows knitted tightly. "I have sent people to investigate for so many days, and there are only tens of thousands of patrolling soldiers in Hua County. Where did the army come from? What's going on?"

The messenger hurriedly reported: "General, according to preliminary estimates, the number of ambushed troops in Hua County is at least over 100,000."

"Hua County's garrison commander Zhao Mu is worthy of being the son of Nanyu King Zhao Pengju. He is truly better than his master. It seems that he deliberately exposed tens of thousands of patrolling soldiers just to make us rush into Hua County and fall into his encirclement."

How could Zhuang Yan not understand? When he first arrived in Hua County, he only found some patrolling soldiers during his investigation.

Later, as he stationed a military camp outside Hua County and continuously sent out scouts to investigate, Zhao Mu saw that his army was reluctant to move, so he deliberately let the scouts he sent out see that there were only 30,000 to 40,000 patrol soldiers in Hua County.

"Wang Jian, you must immediately lead 30,000 troops to rescue Yuan Tai." Zhuang Yan looked not far behind him and directly conveyed the order.

A middle-aged man in armor came forward with a big knife in his hand. He led 30,000 soldiers and rushed out towards Hua County first.

"Speed ​​up, I want to see how many troops the Song Dynasty has that dare to ambush like this?" Zhuang Yan's face was full of ruthlessness. He had been marching and fighting for many years, but this was the first time he was plotted against like this!

shhhhhh...

Soldiers continued to rush in from the city gate entrance of Hua County.

Some soldiers directly demolished the city gates of Hua County, and the speed of entering Hua County became much faster.

……

"kill!"

Zhao Mu was completely bloodthirsty. Ever since Ye Feng sent him to stay and guard Pingxi County, he had been waiting for the opportunity to kill the enemy and gain merit.

Ye Feng was honored as one of the cavalry generals in Jinling City, which was a huge honor for him. Naturally, he could not let Ye Feng down.

Shouts of killing continued to ring out, Zhao Mu was at the forefront, waving his spear constantly, and the soldiers around him were encouraged and became more brave.

"What is Yuan Tai doing? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Liang Kai watched as his 50,000 troops were constantly besieged by Zhao Mu and others, suffering heavy casualties, and his face changed drastically. He had sent out scouts to request Yuan Tai to come for support, but it had been such a long time, why hadn't he come yet?

"Report! General Liang, General Yuan is also being held back by the enemy's two armies, and they are not allowing him to come to support us." The scout who was sent out finally came back. He came to Liang Kai and said, "General Yuan wants us to retreat and join forces with him."

“It seems to be the only way at the moment.”

Liang Kai gritted his teeth.

If he continues to fight with Zhao Mu like this, his 50,000-strong army will be completely wiped out.

"All troops, listen to the order, retreat."

Just as Liang Kai's order was conveyed, many soldiers were in a mess and wanted to retreat, but Zhao Mu led a large army and rushed up to kill them faster.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out hundreds of meters away, and a large number of cavalry rushed down from the hill in front of Hua County.

"Retreat quickly! Hua County actually has cavalry hiding."

Liang Kai's face changed drastically. Seeing the black mass of cavalry charging towards him, he was furious and let out an angry roar.

His army is now stretched to the limit facing Zhao Mu.

If we were to be attacked by the cavalry again, there would be heavy casualties.

"kill!"

Zhao Mu heard the sound of horse hooves, and he knew it was the sound of Dayuan's war horses. It was the 30,000 light cavalry led by Zhao Long charging down.

"Cavalry? Cavalry, there is a cavalry hidden in Hua County, retreat quickly."

When Yuan Tai heard the sound of horse hooves, he forgot about going to support Liang Kai and immediately ordered the army to retreat.

He knew very well that there were ambushes on both sides, and if a charging cavalry rushed out from the front, they would be invincible.

The soldiers under his command will inevitably be thrown into disarray under the charge of the cavalry, and will die miserably.
