Meng Bochang finally agreed to govern with some of the cities in the forest.

Two thousand slave troops quickly attacked the northern city, three thousand iron-faced Jile broke into the city from the west, while four thousand Feng'an troops entered the city from the east gate and the south gate without bloodshed. The street battle in Fengzhou City began. Generally speaking, the meaning of street battle after the city was broken is to express a certain attitude, and it has no decisive significance for the overall situation of victory or defeat.

Xiao Qijin and Manle understood this at first, so when the street fighting began, they did not go to the front line to supervise the battle, but instead cooked tea and wine to discuss something secretly in the tent.

The cause of the incident was a letter of help from the Weiwutu tribe in the Yinshan Sea. The Wutu tribe was originally a branch of the Mengwu tribe on the banks of the Wangjian River (now the Erguna River). Later, it moved to the area east of Yinshan in northern Yunzhou, and had many contacts with the middle of the forest. Manle's wife was from the Wutu tribe.

In early April this year, Yuan Feng'an Jiuniang Pass led hundreds of personal soldiers to rebel against the Tang and defected to the Wutu tribe. Because the Baishui fox had half of the bloodline of the Wei people, the Wutu tribe led Jin Mili to take him in. Seeing that the Baishui fox was smart and capable, he favored him Moleli as his wife.

Jin Mili had three sons, all of whom died in a war with the Khitans. After the elderly Jin Mili secretly observed the Baishui Fox for a period of time, he chose Baishui Fox as his heir and gradually handed over the military power in his hand to him. At first, Baishui Fox was quite respectful to Jin Mili and the elders of Wutu tribe, but after he was in control of military power, he immediately changed his face. Under his coercion and temptation, Jin Mili had to hand over the scepter in advance and retreat behind the scenes.

The Wutu tribe implemented the elder council system, and major matters in the tribe must be handed over to the Presbyterian Council for collective resolution. In addition to having a scepter as a certificate for the replacement of tribe leaders, the Presbyterian Council also needs the crowning recognition of the Presbyterian Council. Baishui Fox forced the Presbyterian Council to crown himself with the authority of the soldiers in his hands, but was resisted by the elders.

Baishuihu was so angry that he used force to disband the Presbyterian Church and declared that all the power in the tribe was exclusively owned. He was cruel and ruthless to those who opposed him. At the least, he was whipped and exiled, and at the worst, he was killed by his hands and feet, and punished as slaves.

The noble elders who opposed him died one by one, and the Utu tribe was shrouded in white horror.

Jin Mili, who led the wolf into the house, regretted it very much. He wrote a letter to Manle, asking the middle of the forest to send troops to help him expel the Baishui Fox and restore his power.

Manle advocated sending troops to rescue Jin Mili, who was in trouble. His reason was that the Wutu tribe under Jin Mili had been living peacefully with the middle of the forest and had never had any conflicts. A friendly and gentle Wutu tribe helped the middle of the forest to defend against the increasingly powerful Khitans in the east. Baishui fox was cunning and fierce, and he repaid his grudges for his grudges and let the Wutu tribe fall into his hands. In the future, it would be a disaster in the middle of the forest.

Xiao Qijin agreed with Manle's analysis, but did not agree to send troops to help. In his opinion, a powerful and ambitious Wutu tribe is more beneficial to the middle of the forest. First, the civil strife in the middle of the forest had just ended its civil unrest and it took a long time to adjust and restore. During this period, the biggest threat to the middle of the forest came from the Khitans in the east and the Tang people in the south, rather than the power that was far weaker than his own Wutu tribe.

To take a step back, even if the Wutu tribe is rapidly powerful under the iron fist of the Baishui Fox, its power has surpassed the central part of the forest. However, he is adjacent to the Khitan in the east, the Tang Dynasty in the south, and the Khan in the north, and the Khan in the north, this unfavorable geographical location destined that the Baishui Fox will not have any actual actions. On the contrary, his strength will attract the attention of all parties and actually play a role in covering himself.

Secondly, Baishuihu was a rebel general of the Tang army. If the Wutu tribe under his rule clashed with Tang Junsheng, he might move the alert eye that the Tang people had always been staring at the Uighurs to the Wei people. If so, it would not only be a blessing for the middle of the forest, but also a blessing for the entire Uighurs. After more than a hundred years of strength, the Uighur Khanate had entered the end of storm and crisis.

The eagle on the grassland is old and weak and almost unable to fly. It now needs time to rest in order to nourish its spirit and restore its strength.

"Let the Tang people and the Khitans stare at the Baishui Fox! We need to have enough time to solve our own affairs." This was Xiao Qijin's final decision. In order to comfort his uncle, Xiao Qijin promised to give Jin Mili the necessary protection, provided that this kind and over-hearted old leader could leave his tribe alive.

"Woo--"

A long and gloomy horn sound suddenly came outside the tent.

"What's going on?!"

At this time, the high and exciting charge horn should be sounded. How could it be such a low and gloomy alarm? Xiao Qijin was surprised and immediately ran out of the tent.

"Not good, Khan! Tang army is coming."

The guard commander Monto rushed in with blood-covered bone spit. There was a long sword wound on his left face, and his expression was very strange.

"Nonsense! Fengzhou City has been destroyed, where did the Tang army come from?" Manle shouted.

"The Tang army, who was sieging the city with us, suddenly turned against us and started a war with us." Gu Li roared in a frustration. The knife wound on his face was chopped by the Tang army soldiers who suddenly turned against us. At that time, he was searching for property in a shop with two guards. Suddenly, a group of Tang soldiers broke in at the door, and pulled their swords and slashed without saying a word. Gu Li Tu fought to escape, and his two guards were killed by the Tang army.

"They did indeed take action!" Xiao Qi Jin gritted his teeth with hatred, his face full of regret.

Mani monks Bill Liancheng and Manle have reminded themselves that Feng'an and Yongfeng's armies have been holding hands, and there may be some conspiracy hidden, but Xiao Qijin believes that watching tiger fights and taking advantage of the situation is something that the Han people often do, and it is not worth worrying. On the contrary, they actively attacked the city from the beginning, which is more doubtful.

"How is the battle now?" In the critical moment, Xiao Qijin showed the calm that a commander should have.

"Most of the five thousand people entering the city have lost, and the remaining troops of the Bunu Army are retreating in the direction of Jiaohe. The main force of the Feng'an Army is now attacking the Bunu Army camp. The soldiers who entered the city are besieged by the Yongfeng Army. The entire army has been wiped out..."

"Please return to the camp and recruit the remaining troops to retreat to the Ice Rock Valley in Henan. I will then lead the army to join you." The major casualties of Tiedian Jile did not seem to have caused Xiao Qijin's anger.

The Ice Rock Valley is fifty miles north of Fengzhou City, facing the Yellow River to the north. The terrain is dangerous and is the only way to get to Yinshan Mountain in Fengzhou. Don’t think about building a pass here to defend. Xiao Qijin went south and passed through this place. Ten thousand troops fought hard for three days and suffered nearly a thousand casualties before breaking through the pass. After the war, there were only 150 corpses of guards.

"Since he is not kind, I am not righteous. It is like occupying the northern gate of Fengzhou. As long as we are happy, we can fight Fengzhou again at any time."

The sudden turn of Yang Hao and Meng Bochang caught the middle of the forest off guard and suffered extremely heavy losses. The two thousand bundles of slaves and three thousand iron-faced Jile who broke into the city were almost wiped out.

While fighting in the city, Li Tong and Zhuang Yunqing each led a battalion to break through the slave-hailing camp and captured hundreds of wounded soldiers. Later, Zhuang Yunqing unexpectedly found that all the requisitioned civilians at the Jiaohe construction site were secretly executed, and thousands of corpses were buried by the river. Because the floating soil was too shallow, some of the corpses had been dug out and torn to pieces by wild dogs, and broken limbs and broken arms and heart and lungs could be seen everywhere on the river beach.

Zhuang Yunqing was furious and ordered people to take hundreds of prisoners to the riverside, let them dig out the bodies of the civilians and wash them, and the remaining bodies were spliced ​​intact.

After the prisoners were trembling with these things, they all thought they would die. They did not expect that Zhuang Yunqing did not kill anyone, but instead took the prisoners back to Fengzhou City to be imprisoned as usual.

Before the war, Yang Hao gave the two orders: "Don't kill those who resist, and don't harm their lives if they abandon their weapons."

The two of them also scolded the soldiers in this way. Although after witnessing the bodies of thousands of civilians, this order has been tampered with by the soldiers as "the stubborn people will kill them, and those who abandon their weapons will be killed." However, Li Tong and Zhuang Yunqing still restrained the soldiers and did not retaliate against the prisoners.

Zhuang Yunqing comforted the angry soldiers: "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they cannot kill each other. Some people are willing to fall into depravity and want to join the beasts. Do you also want to be beasts?" After hearing this, Yang Hao praised Zhuang Yunqing and ordered his full power to deal with the aftermath.

While pursuing the murderer behind the massacre, Zhuang Yunqing asked the people of Fengzhou to recognize the body, and the government subsidized the funeral expenses.

Meng Bochang, with Park Enjun and Soe as the vanguard, Li Changlin and Mahshang as the two wings, personally led two thousand main forces of the Yongfeng New Army into the Xiaoqi Jinfang Treasure. There were originally 6,000 Iron-faced Jile under Xiaoqi Jin's command. In addition to the 3,000 people who were annihilated in the city, there were still 1,000 people stationed at two passes northwest of Fengzhou, and less than 2,000 people guarding the treasure.

Iron-faced Jile is good at field battles. Meng Bochang's new army has ghost soldiers in ghost towns as the main trunk and is good at small guerrilla warfare. Attack and defense are both based on their own shortcomings against others. Both sides feel awkward and unable to exert their skills.

Xiao Qijin refused to fight, and the iron-faced Jilexun retreated from the camp and retreated north. The north of Fengzhou was a wilderness. The iron-faced Jile formation in the retreat was not at all chaotic, like a torrent flowing north.

Small harassment is a good thing for Meng Bochang's new army. This tactic is flexible and maneuverable, and harassing the tired enemy is very effective, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Too much flexibility and maneuverability will inevitably give up the constraints of formation, armor, etc. When the light-mounted new army confronts the heavy-mounted iron face, their shortcomings are fully exposed: they dare not conflict head-on, nor are they able to kill the enemy on a large scale.

Xiao Qijin soon realized this. After fleeing to the north for three miles, there was a dirt slope in front. Xiao Qijin occupied the top of the slope and turned around and began to fight back. Meng Bochang could only grit his teeth and fight against Xiao Qijin.

The two armies entered a white heat as soon as they fought. The war horses were slapped and the arrows were flying like rain. The iron-faced machine fully exerted the power of the heavy-armed gang charge. Fifteen horses were in line and twenty horses were in line, and all the charges were in line toward the Tang army. After Meng Bochang's new army fought several face-to-face attacks, he now submitted the questions head-on because time had no longer allowed him to make tactical adjustments.

In the battle against the new army, the whole army died under the horse's hooves of the iron-faced Jile. If this continues, the new army that has been hard-working to pull up will be fought. The new army is the only force that can face the iron-faced Jile head-on. If it is defeated, the military operation initiated by itself at the risk of breach of trust will be completely defeated. The victory results exchanged for thousands of soldiers with their blood will be destroyed in an instant.

You must find a way to turn defeat into victory!

A light of inspiration passed through Meng Bochang's heart—

"Park Eun-jun, Soe, Li Changlin, Mahshang, each led the headquarters to follow me to knock him down!" Meng Bo-chang roared. The four of them immediately understood his intention.

"Capture the king first! Capture the thief first!"

The six hundred Tang troops shouted in unison, like a black lightning bolt toward Xiao Qijin's big flag three miles away.

This is a suicide attack tactic.

There were at least 500 guards in front of Xiao Qijin, and on his wings were 1,500 iron-faced Jile who were getting braver. Although the 600 people Meng Bochang took away only 30% of the Tang army, they were elite troops in the army. His departure, which was already in danger, suddenly collapsed.

The six hundred people who attacked Xiao Qijin's big penis were trapped in a huge pocket.

"This is simply crazy..."

The wise Bill Liancheng could not judge Meng Bochang's intention at this time. In his opinion, Meng Bochang's playing style was like seeking death. The Tang army lost several times in a row, with no morale, and its weaknesses were exposed. Facts proved that the Iron-faced Jile was the nemesis of the Ghost Army. Moreover, the morale was high under the winning streak, with the right time, place, and people in my hands. What can the Tang army do if it is just 600?!

The facts roughly confirm Bill Liancheng's judgment. The Tang army, which was attacking on the back, encountered a tenacious obstacle from 500 Iron-faced Jile and could not advance half a step at the moment. At the same time, Iron-faced Jile's main force had already broken through the ghost army's formation and was siegeing Meng Bochang with iron walls.

"Please leave, Meng Bochang's archery technique is wise and he will hurt you carefully." Xiao Qijin's personal bodyguard leader Mengto saw the Tang soldiers approaching the big flag step by step as if they were returning, and suddenly realized that there was a hidden trick here.

"Every Uighurs are all archery magic!" Xiao Qijin roared viciously. Seeing that his treacherous friend was about to be captured alive by him, Xiao Qijin couldn't control his ecstasy.

A golden light suddenly crossed the sky—

When Xiao Qijin was still two hundred steps away, Meng Bochang shot a golden feather arrow, and Xiao Qijin fell down in response.

The Tang army made a thunderous roar. The iron-faced Jile was in chaos. At this time, dust was flying in the southeast, and two Tang troops came to fight at the same time. The Tang army in the east were nearly a thousand cavalry of Yang Hao's four regiments, and the more than 400 people led by Shi Xiong in the south.

The commander was seriously injured, and the Uighur army was in trouble. The wise Bill Liancheng was not interested in fighting and ordered a retreat northward. At first, the iron-faced Jile protected the retreating Qizhang Youzhen and Law, but was attacked by Yang Hao and Shi Xiong on both sides of the Tang army, and the formation was in chaos. Fortunately, it was not yet at the point of collapse.

Yang Hao did not dare to continue chasing forward. Meng Bochang's new army had been completely lost. Although there were still five or six thousand people in the city, they were all newly recruited soldiers. At this time, Yang Hao was concerned about supervising Liu Mian and Besiego to fulfill their promises and withdraw from Fengzhou.

Meng Bochang's arrow did not shoot Xiao Qi Jin's vital points. It was not that Meng Bochang was not accurate in shooting, but that the attendant Monto, who was guarding Xiao Qi Jin's side, was always highly vigilant. At the critical moment, he pushed Xiao Qi Jin's hand, and the golden feathered arrow penetrated Xiao Qi Jin's shoulder blades. Xiao Qi Jin fainted in pain.

Meng Bochang was indifferent. Looking at the layers of Xinjun corpses around him, he threw the carved bow in his hand to the ground, his face full of annoyance.

Yang Hao picked up the carved bow and advised: "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs, let alone we are winning this time. You don't have to worry about it."

Meng Bochang shouted angrily: "What do you know, you are a fool? You can't kill a snake. I'm all for your own good."

Yang Hao was scolded by him as a "didou" in public, and he was unhappy and sneered: "For my good, Xiao Qijin hates the most now, right?"

Meng Bochang grabbed the carved treasure bow with his hand and smiled coldly: "What do you know?"
Chapter completed!
