From the end of February to the beginning of March, the Baotao Guards, led by their general Jiang Guangyu and his deputy Xing Wang, divided their troops into two groups and attacked Liangzhou to launch an attack on the Northern Expeditionary Army. They fought bloody battles in Shangkang and Xiakang.

After paying a high price, they finally occupied the two places. The Northern Expeditionary Army marched in Shangkang

He and Shangguan Biao, the guard general of Xia Kang, once led the remaining troops to withdraw from the two places and fled to Taikang. In order to capture these two places, Jiang Guangyu also paid a huge price. Tan Lifeng's Yanzhou soldiers were completely disabled, and even his

His son Qin Zuoyin was also beheaded on the city wall, and the Yanzhou soldiers completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Jiang Guangyu could only send this group of defeated soldiers to guard the supply channel. In addition to the heavy casualties of the Yanzhou soldiers, even the Baotao Guards also lost nearly 3,000 people, which made Jiang Guangyu feel secretly worried and wanted to know.

, the fourth battalion of the Northern Conquest Army in front of him was not the main

The general who led the army had never heard of it, but the opponent's tenacious fighting will, cunning fighting style, and skillful combat skills amazed Jiang Guangyu. Strictly speaking, the opponent was not defeated by them and fled.

Instead, they organized and voluntarily abandoned Shangkang and Xiakang.

The Fourth Battalion was not the best among the battle sequences of the Northern Conquest Army. The strength of Lucheng Battalion, Anqing Battalion, etc. was far superior to that of the Fourth Battalion. Looking at the enemy in front of me, I thought about what they might encounter in the future.

A more powerful opponent made Jiang Guangyu's head hurt.

On March 1, Jiang Guangyu and Gao Xingwang met at the foot of Taikang City. Seeing that Taikang City had already built a complete and upgraded city defense system, Jiang Guangyu glanced at Gao Xingwang with a wry smile, "Wang Qiang is still very young, it is difficult to do this.

A strong man cuts off his chest. It seems that this battle is being directed by Yao Changkun. This man is very cunning and can be called our formidable enemy!"

Gao Xingwang nodded and said: "Yes, Yao Changkun divided his troops to guard Shangkang and Xiakang. It is very likely that we will defeat them individually. We might as well just use these two places as the attack points. This will lay the groundwork for the battle for Taikang.

The main force of the fourth battalion

If we concentrate here, we won't be able to win this place without a bloody battle. But once we win, Liangzhou will no longer be able to stop our enemies. The fourth battalion is the only fighting force in Yao Changkun's hands."

"No, Yao Changkun has transferred back his manpower to fight Bo Lu on another front. Now there are at least 30,000 people in Taikang City," Jiang Guangyu said.

Gao Xingwang glanced at Jiang Guangyu in surprise.

"Shihou, before you arrived, the spies reported that Bulu Turán had withdrawn. This old barbarian wanted to see us fighting with the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he simply withdrew his troops, allowing Yao Changkun to call back the troops that were fighting against him.

And by using all his strength to deal with us, he just wants to make a profit!" Jiang Guangyu said.

"Barbarian is the only good thing!" Gao Xingwang said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Guangyu smiled. Strictly speaking, they are not good people, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is even less good. If you don't call me stupid, I won't call you bald.

"The Yanzhou soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They have no combat effectiveness at all. It is difficult for us to conquer such a tightly defended city with the strength of our guards alone!" Gao Xingwang said: "I'm afraid we have to wait for General Liu's men to mashàng!"

"Liu Huajian's leading guard is slowly retreating from Taizhou. When they turn around, they will attack Liangzhou. We are not in a hurry. Shijiān is on our side. There is no delay. We are so anxious that the Northern Army should set up camp and form a formation with the opponent first.

After a confrontation, maybe Yao Changkun will take the initiative to attack, and then we will bite him hard." Jiang Guangyu said with a smile.

"The general is right, eh, what does Yao Changkun want to do?" Gao Xingwang Turán pointed to the city gate of Taikang opposite in surprise.

Jiang Guangyu followed his gaze and saw that the main gate of Taikang City opened a crack, and a tall figure squeezed out from the door dragging a huge Mo Dao and strode towards the center of the battlefield.

"Is this some sh*t thing?" Gao Xingwang looked at the lone general of the Northern Expedition Army opposite him.

But mashàng, the behavior of the general of the Northern Expedition Army on the other side made them think that he was so arrogant!

The Mo Dao hit the ground heavily, and the man put his hands on his hips and shouted at the top of his voice: "You turtle sons of Leopard Tao Wei, I am Jiang Xu, a hero. Come and challenge me to a duel."

Jiang Guangyu and Gao Xingwang looked at each other. It was the sh era, and the two armies were fighting, but they still wanted to challenge each other?

On Taikang City, there were thunderous cheers and drums, and tens of millions of people shouted "One-on-one, one-on-one!" and their voices went straight to Yunxiao. There was also an uproar on Bao Tao Wei's side.

"General!" Gao Xingwang frowned.

"Don't worry about it. This man named Jiang Xu is Yun Zhao's personal bodyguard. He is a wild bull. When fighting alone, few people can beat him."

"But Yao Changkun has given us a dilemma. If we fight, we may die. If we don't fight, our morale will inevitably drop. It is better to fight. Even if we lose, we will not lose the bloody spirit of our Baotaowei!" Gao Xingwang weighed the gun in his hand.

Tie Qiang said, "General, I'll go meet him!"

"No!" Jiang Guangyu's face darkened, "This is a confrontation between two armies, not a child's play, not a street fight. We are guards, not bandits. General Gao, remember Luo, you are a general of an army, commanding thousands of armies.

Thousands of horses are your responsibility. This kind of fierce fighting will be of no use if you win, but it will be even more harmful if you lose."

Gao Xingwang said angrily: "Then let him be arrogant wherever he goes?"

Jiang Xu, who was on the opposite side, saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he jumped three feet high, yelled curses, and challenged him repeatedly.

"Come here!" Jiang Guangyu shouted. "Get on the crossbow and shoot him!"

"yes!"

Three crossbows were pushed up, the strung crossbow arrows were shining brightly, and the arrows were pointed at Jiang Xu from a distance.

When Jiang Xu on the opposite side saw that it was not a person, but a powerful bed crossbow, he yelled "Oh my God", dragged the Mo Dao, turned around and ran away. The sharp whistling sound resounded throughout Taikang City, and three crossbows were fired.

The bed crossbow came through the air, and a shocking scream came from the city.

Amidst the ear-piercing whistling sound, Jiang Xuhe threw himself to the ground. A crossbow flew over his head, and the other two swooped from a few meters away. There was no sound, and they were nailed to the ground, half a foot into the ground.

Jiang Xu was shocked, jumped up, turned around and yelled and cursed at the Bao Tao Guard formation, "Jiang Guangyu, you are shameless, you are not a hero if you hurt someone with a secret arrow!"

The entire Leopard Tao Guard army was silent. This army had been fighting on the front line for many years and had never suffered a defeat. The army thought highly of itself and had few opponents that it looked up to. Cheng Qun's four guards were the ones who fought the most and made the most meritorious deeds.

, but now

The enemy was pointing at their noses and yelling at them. Many officers and generals had a look of shame and annoyance on their faces. Many people jumped on their horses and raised their swords, eager to try. However, the Leopard Guards' military regulations were strict, and Jiang Guangyu's

I allowed it, but I didn’t dare to act rashly.

"Shoot again!" Jiang Guangyu had a dark face and was not moved by his opponent at all. Jiang Xu knew it. When fighting alone, no one under his command could be his opponent. He went up to give the opponent his head and military exploits.

, it would be a stupid move to really let the generals under Ziji's command get blood splattered three feet in a duel.

The bed crossbow that had coiled the crossbow raised its head again, but Jiang Xu reacted much faster this time. As soon as the bed crossbow raised his head, he had already spread his legs and ran away. His legs and feet were very long, and in a moment he was

Yijg ran back under the city wall. The crossbow arrow behind him missed its target again and was nailed to the ground. His tail kept trembling.

"Bullshit Leopard Tao Guard, you don't even dare to challenge me in a duel. You might as well fool others and change your name to Sick Cat Guard from now on, hahaha!" Jiang Xu danced and shouted at the top of his voice.

Hearing Jiang Xu's scolding, more than ten thousand people in the city laughed in unison, "Sick cat guard, sick cat guard!"

Ruguo said that Jiang Xu's screams and curses could only be heard by a few people in front of the battle, but the shouts of tens of thousands of people above the city resounded throughout the battlefield, and everyone could hear them clearly.

A member of the Leopard Tao Guard made a commotion for the glorious Leopard Tao Guard soldiers.

Jiang Xu yelled and cursed for a while, but the other party still had no response. He couldn't help but feel uninterested. He dragged Mo Dao backwards and walked towards the city gate, muttering in a low voice: "Old Yao is a liar. He said that as soon as I appeared,

There must be someone who will challenge me, and they can also sacrifice my Mo Dao. Others just ignore me, it’s boring!” He turned sideways and squeezed in through the gap in the city gate, and the gate of Taikang City rumbled shut.

On the top of the city tower, Yao Changkun was smiling, Wang Qiang couldn't help but laugh, Shangguan Biao and Zeng Ke had admiration on their faces. Looking at Jiang Xu who was dragging his sword jingling up all the way, stars were shining in his eyes, what a hero!

Under the city, the Leopard Tao Guards seemed to have lost their spirit. The front team changed to the back team, and they retreated into the distance one by one. In an instant, they retreated completely. Only six crossbow arrows as thick as a child's arm were left in the center of the battlefield.

Liu Huajian's camp in Taizhou. Liu Huajian's hands were trembling slightly as he was organizing the troops to withdraw from Taizhou and enter Liangzhou. A piece of information just sent by Duanhou Sentinel slipped silently from his hands and landed on the ground. The muscles on his face continued to tremble.

The corners of the mouth are pulled diagonally, and saliva overflows from the corners of the mouth without even realizing it.

In the big tent, the leading generals, led by the deputy general Zhang Xi, could not help but gape at Liu Huajian, who was so high-spirited just now, and suddenly lost his composure.

"General, General Liu!" Zhang Xi called tentatively.

Liu Huajian's unfocused eyes slowly returned from the state of nothingness, and looked at Zhang Xi, "It's over, it's over!"

"Sh is it over?" Zhang Xi looked at Liu Huajian and asked in shock.

Liu Huajian sat down weakly on the chair, pointing to the thin page of paper falling on the ground, "The Northern Expedition Army has appeared in Taizhou, Lucheng Camp, it's Lucheng Camp, it's Meng Yao Dingchou." Liu Huajian Turán shouted.

.

"Why sh, why do they appear here?" Liu Huajian roared.

Taizhou is the territory of the Mongolian army. Liu Huajian and others withdrew their troops from Taizhou in order to allow the Mongolians to maintain their strength and fight against the Northern Expeditionary Army. However, they turned around and attacked the Northern Expeditionary Army. They would attack whoever was stronger. This was the northern land planned by Cheng Qun.

The strategy is to form a three-legged alliance, but for the sake of sh, soldiers of the Northern Conquest Army will appear on the Mongolian territory, and it will be the main battle camp of the Northern Conquest Army.
