On the border between Luzhou and Tongzhou, the Northern Expedition Army placed the main battle camps such as Meng Yao's Lucheng Camp, Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp, and Wang Qiang's Fourth Battalion, which made Congliang always think that the main battlefield chosen by Yun Zhao would be Xiong.

Lai Yan, who was guarding Kuohai, did not realize that after Yun Zhao had dismantled Xie Shilin's Shu army, he followed the situation and Huo Zhenting's sixth battalion, Zhou Guangyi's seventh battalion and Mengqi suddenly launched an attack on Jiangling. Congliang then woke up.

He was deceived by Yun Zhao, and the main attack direction of the Northern Army was in Jiangling. However, Congliang arranged the main force in the direction of Laiyan.

The 7th Battalion of the Sixth Battalion of the Northern Army was not considered the most brave and good-for-war army in the Northern Army, nor was it as famous as Lucheng Camp, Anqing Camp and other units. However, the problem is that the private army stationed in Jiangling is also a complex faction.

It is not necessary to combine the personal abilities of Xing Shu. The Cao family and Wang family private army are not a question whether the army of other aristocratic families can unite and fight against strong enemies when they encounter difficulties.

In the Jiangling direction, Yun Zhao had gathered two field battalions and most of the Mongolian army's cavalry. Although the cavalry could not participate in the siege, they could cut off the liaison and support between the various departments in the Jiangling direction, cut off the various departments, and even siege the cities.

It is an urgent task to fight for reinforcements and send reinforcements to Jiangling. However, counting the controllable forces under his command, Congliang found that except for Lou Xiang's troops, he had already sent his troops.

Yun Zhao's main attack direction is Jiangling, and he himself appears, but Xiong Kuodi's 50,000 troops are irresistible. Opposite him is Meng Yao, Hu Zehua, and Wang Qiang who are more terrifying than Huo Zhenting and Zhou Guangyi.

Once you draw the troops from him, the opponent's main attack direction may be adjusted at any time, virtual and real, and the soldiers are never tired of deceit. It is the key to using troops. Yun Zhao's use of troops has even used the best attacks to attack the east and west. The direction of coming to Yan is absolutely impossible.

Moving.

Until this time, Congliang felt that the troops at hand were not enough. The twelve guards of Dayue, which were so powerful that they suppressed all directions, have long since withered. Except for the left and right Wuwei and left and right Xiaowei, the other guards either surrendered or were

After several years of war with the Northern Army, the Northern Army had lost all its losses. Before he knew it, the Northern Army had already gained the upper hand in the military strength. Yun Zhao could invest enough troops on all battlefields, and

But I was so embarrassed that I broke up the east wall and repaired the west wall, and there were holes everywhere.

"Call Lou Xiang here!" Congliang said a little discouraged.

"General, if Lou Xiang goes away, there will be no available soldiers in Tongzhou!" Xiao Zhongze said in fear.

"If Jiangling is broken, what if there are soldiers in Tongzhou?" Congliang waved his hand, "Mr. Xiao, Jiangling comes to Yanruo'an, Tongzhou is in Tongzhou, Weizhou is in Shangjing, Shangjing is in Shangjing. If one of these two places is lost, we will have to

Give up Tongzhou and go to Beijing!"

"Sir, you must not give up Tongzhou. If Tongzhou is lost, Weizhou will definitely not be protected. Weizhou will not be protected. How can Shangjing last forever?" Xiao Zhongze exclaimed.

"So Lou Xiang's troops must be sent out. Lord Xiao, how many people have you recruited in Tongzhou?"

Xiao Zhongze smiled bitterly, "I am not afraid of the general laughing, and even cheating and arresting him. So far, he has only recruited more than 20,000 people, all of whom are newcomers. Not to mention fighting, I am afraid that I will be weak when I see a murder."

"Then let them see the blood!" Congliang said sternly. "Mr. Xiao, do you want me to give you a trick?"

"Please make clear to the general."

"There must be some restless people among these people. Let them decide for themselves and do it themselves!" Congliang said coldly.

After hearing this, Xiao Zhongze suddenly felt cold, "General, how did this make it happen?"

"If you want them not to become soft-legged crabs, turn them into beasts first!" Congliang said sternly: "I promise money, women, and official positions, I need them to fight in the shortest time!"

Xiao Zhongze was sweating all over, and when he saw Congliang's cold eyes, he retreated speechlessly.

Lou Xiang was a little anxious. Since he retreated to Tongzhou, he has been very anxious because Congliang’s distrust of him comes from his bones. Lou Xiang himself knew that last year he abandoned the private army of the aristocratic families in Luzhou and ran away.

It's really not up to the Tao, and those aristocratic families are afraid that they will not say anything, but they hate themselves in their hearts. They are still alive, just because they still have 30,000 Luzhou town troops in their hands. He is a good general.

Tongzhou, staying by his side, its meaning is self-evident.

"Brother She, will you go?" Lou Xiang asked, looking at She Wenzhuang.

"The general has issued an order, Brother Lou can't go," She Wenzhuang looked at Lou Xiang and said with a smile.

"This time I go, I have to go directly with the Northern Expedition Army, and I have to face their Mengqi!" Lou Xiang said.

She Wenzhuang smiled slightly, "Brother Lou, you must go there. We must drive first and look at it while walking. As for other things, we can discuss it slowly!"

Lou Xiang's eyes lit up, "You mean"

"If Xing Shu could defend Jiangling, we would naturally arrive, but if Jiangling was quickly broken, then we hadn't arrived yet, so we wouldn't blame us." She Wenzhuang's gloomy voice sounded.

"I understand what you mean!" Lou Xiang nodded and said, "If Xing Shu can defend it for a long time, it will inevitably damage the Northern Army in the direction of Jiangling. Let's go forward again. Facing the fatigue of the Northern Army, you should be able to defend Jiangling.

But if Jiangling is quickly broken, where will we go and return to Tongzhou, will we pursue our crime of delay and delay?

"Of course we won't know Tongzhou at that time. We will go to Weizhou and Shangjing. So Brother Lou, you have to bring enough food and grass. Before you set off, you have to ask for more food and grass from the general. I believe that the general will definitely do it.

I'll give it to you, because this means that Brother Lou, you are already planning to do a big fight in Jiangling!"

"We can take advantage of the same advantage, so we can take advantage of it, so we can take advantage of it again, so we can take advantage of it again, and it will be a great opportunity!" Lou Xiang laughed loudly.

In Zhaojiazhuang, Zhao Donglei was drinking with Hong Anbang for a short drink.

"Lou Xiang is preparing to go to Jiangling to rescue. There are 30,000 people. Tongzhou will be empty when he leaves!" Zhao Donglei stared at Hong Anbang, "Your troops are almost gathered. When Lou Xiang leaves, if you launch unexpectedly, you will start the event by surprise!" Zhao Donglei stared at Hong Anbang.

Attack, maybe you can't take Tongzhou City!"

"Old man, we don't want to kill ourselves. Lou Xiang left. There are still good soldiers in Tongzhou City, as well as the troops thrown by Xiao Zhongze and others. If we can't succeed in one blow, it's just a word of death.

If there are no reinforcements outside, it will be a rash move, but it will ruin the big thing. Now is not the time to move."

"When will it move?" Zhao Donglei said dissatisfiedly: "From Yan, you can't move your troops, Jiangling. If Lou Xiang arrives, the troops will be nearly 100,000. How can you break the long-term stalemate in a short period of time? My Zhao family can't stand it.

This is how time is taken!”

"Lou Xiang can't get there!" Hong Anbang smiled and said inexplicably. "Don't worry, old man! Jiang Ling can't last long."

The battle in Tanziling has been going on for three days. As Yun Zhao said before, it was a hard battle, a fierce battle. Jia Yun and Zhou Bin took turns to fight. After three days, they only won the opponent.

The first line of defense. The Cao family's private army retreated to the second line of defense. The trenches leading to the second line of defense have been blocked.

It was already the fourth day, and this time it was Jia Yun's troops' turn to launch an attack.

Fan Conghu leaned against the trench on the first line of defense, with whistling feather arrows and rumbling stones on his head. Looking at the stones and rappelling wood flying over his head, Fan Cong laughed and spitted a mouthful of blood.

Two comrades lying beside him, and they lost their breath. One was shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow, and the other was hit by a rock weighing more than ten pounds in his chest, and his entire breastplate was trapped in.

.

Fan Conghu is a halberd captain with fifty soldiers under his command. They are the troops in front of him. Because they advance too fast, the troops behind him are firmly blocked by the enemy above, and they are only

Some troops are only tens of meters away from the second line of defense.

"Brother, what should I do?" Fan Congxiong crawled over from one side and looked at his brother. "We can't retreat if we can't get up from behind."

"Back to the point" Fan Conghu spat another mouthful of blood, "They didn't seem to notice us. This was our chance. The weapons used by these bastards are similar to our thunderbolt fire. Once they are shot, it will take some time to load them.

Taking this opportunity to rush up and disrupt their defense, the brothers behind naturally rushed up."

Fan Congxiong nodded, "Then I'll call my brothers to prepare."

“How many people are left of us”

"There are about thirty people!"

"It's enough. Everyone will gather together to attack a point later. Once it breaks through, it will disperse immediately and cause as much chaos as possible!" Fan Conghu said.

"I understand!"

Fan Conghu took a deep breath, held his sword with one hand, and held the sword that fell beside him in his hand with the other hand.

The Fan Conghu brothers are not from the Northern Land. They used to serve in Qianniuwei. Fan Conghu was a grassroots officer of Qianniuwei. After Liu Xuyong, the general of Qianniuwei, surrendered, they had been farming in Jiaozhou for several years.

In between, they witnessed the changes in the north, the prosperity of the north, the integrity and efficiency of the northern officials. After the Qianniu Guard soldiers were lifted, like others, they chose to settle in the north, and they had their own

The Fan brothers even married a local woman in Jiaozhou as their wife.

However, as latecomers, as the surrendered soldiers of Qianniu Guard, they are still different from the locals. For example, taxes, for example, people around them always have strange eyes and some gossip behind them. The Fan brothers do not want their wife.

The son also suffered from these idleness, and the only way to change all this is to join the army. Once they join the army, their past will be written off, and soldiers are very respected in the north.

When the Seventh Battalion expanded its recruitment, the two signed up without hesitation. The review of the Northern Army was extremely strict for the previous surrendered soldiers. The Fan brothers had already married and had children in the local area, but the first trial was made.

Once they passed the review, experienced veterans like them are still very popular. Like Fan Conghu, he became the leader of the army and the captain with a halberd. Although he was not as good as the Qianniu Guard before, he had just returned as a new member of the army.
