Outside Shagou City, Zhen Baoche's Hu Ben Army and Huo Xiaobao's cavalry were like two long thunder swords, slashing down fiercely from both left and right directions. For a moment, arrows were like rain, hooves were like thunder, and swords and spears were like forests, killing the earth.

Jia Wuben leaned against the Nakachuan River and formed a formation to defend the death, fighting with the back. He could not retreat. Once he retreated, Zhang Xutuo's retreat was cut off. He would definitely fall into the siege of the rebels and fight to the death. When people and horses were exhausted, they would be exhausted, and they would be destroyed.

Han Jinluo left the city and was in danger. Although after being surrounded, after Shan Xiongxin retreated to the west bank of the Zhongchuan River, he was once pessimistic, suspected that he had been plotted by Li Fengyun, suspected that Li Fengyun would kill him, and even prepared to do everything possible after eating the food, but luckily, after only one night, reinforcements came to the city, and in turn defeated the official army step by step.

The battle situation changed so quickly, and Han Jinluo felt dazzled, so after he left the city to see Zhen Bao's car, he first asked what had happened in just a few hours.

Zhen Baoche was very angry and scolded Meng Haigong, Shuai Rentai and other Haoshuai to death. They were all shameless villains who did not save the enemy. It was obvious that they wanted to kill Han Jinluo and destroy the Jibei Group in the alliance. Fortunately, Li Fengyun was quite righteous, at least he did not show an ugly "eating look" on the surface. He said pretty well and did things without any mistakes.

But the development of the war was beyond everyone's expectations. No one expected that Zhang Xutuo would attack at all costs in order to rescue the trapped official army. On the one hand, it can be understood that Zhang Xutuo did not take the rebels seriously at all, but on the other hand, it also showed Zhang Xutuo's unique personal charm. The reason why the soldiers of the Qi army were loyal to him and were willing to charge for him and went through fire and water was not only because he was willing to risk his head losing his head and opened the warehouse and release grain without Dongdu's consent, but also because he was willing to live and die with the soldiers.

Zhang Xutuo caught the rebel army off guard, Shuai Rentai was the first to be defeated, and he was defeated by him, and ran away suddenly. If Shuai Rentai knew that he had such a terrifying disaster a night later, he would probably support Yuan An's first plan to rescue Han Jinluo, and join forces with the rich and powerful men to fight the Nakachuan River and fight to the death with Zhang Xutuo.

Han Jinluo laughed and gloated. Shuai Rentai shot himself in the foot and caused his own disaster. Well, now he was seriously injured. The Dongping Group, led by him and Huo Xiaobao, suffered a severe blow in the league. Although it would not be in a slump, it would be impossible to restore its past strength. Not to mention that the rich coaches would take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation, Li Fengyun would not give him the opportunity to "revitalize his strength."

Zhen Baoche also secretly called luck. If the situation of the war develops as well as his own vision, the prospects of the Jibei system are very bleak. Unexpectedly, the situation will be overturned overnight. The Jibei system is not only unharmed, but the Dongping system is in a big way, but the Dongping system is hit hard. The Ninth Army and the Tenth Army are the foundation of the Dongping system. Now they collapse and are scattered, scattered, and those who are escaping. Even if they are re-accompanied, they will probably have to gather one army. Shuai Rentai's position as the general manager will definitely be unsecured. Huo Xiaohan had no choice but to leave the inner palace and "return" to support the overall situation. In this way, Li Fengyun took the opportunity to take back the military command of the Cavalry Army without any effort. If Li Fengyun took the opportunity to take back the number of the Ninth or Tenth Army, then the Dongping system would have suffered heavy losses and would be crying without tears.

"This is a lesson丨" Zhen Baoche leaned on iron crutches, with a cold expression, and said to Han Jinluo impolitely, "If Zhang Xutuo confronts us across the river, you can't hold on in Shagou City for a few days, and the two armies will be destroyed here, and your head will be hung on the city wall by Zhang Xutuo. By then, we are the people of Jibei, not Dongping, who will cry bitterly."

Han Jinluo was extremely embarrassed and speechless.

"The strength is not something that fell from the sky, nor is it a trick or deceive, but it is cut out with one knife." Zhen Baoche was stern, and he was so angry that he was not strong at the beginning of our alliance. How many people were he who was strong than us? But now? How big is the gap between them? What is the reason? Don't you think about it? If you stick to your own composure and don't want to make progress, and continue like this, the Dongping people will be the tomorrow of our Jibei people. Sooner or later, Jibei people will repeat the mistakes of Dongping people and fail."

Han Jinluo was unhappy and thought that Zhen Baoche had said that it was because he had been staying in the inner palace and was "brainwashed" by Li Fengyun under the influence of his eyes?

Zhen Baoche also felt that he was too "heavy", but he really did not agree with Han Jinluo's actions. It was harmful to the growth of the 11th and 12th Army, and it would eventually harm his own interests. So he solemnly suggested, "If you can't accept some of your opinions, let's change it. You go to the inner government to command Hu Ben, and the outer government to command the army. How about it?"

Zhen Baoche was "showing off", and Han Jinluo suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The two had the same interests in the alliance. If the two had internal conflicts and brothers were in a fight, what else could they fight for power and profit with Li Fengyun? Han Jinluo immediately compromised and made concessions without hesitation.

Han Jinluo ordered that the 11th and 12th Army immediately left the city, cooperated with the Hu Ben and Cavalry armies, and tried their best to surround and kill the official army.

Li Fengyun was unable to support him under the front and back attacks of the official army, so he had to avoid the edge for a while and let Qin Qiong and Zhang Xutuo meet.

The morale of the official army was high. Under the command of Zhang Xutuo, he turned around and rushed towards Zhongchuan River.

Li Fengyun commanded the Fengyun Army to follow and chase after him. More than 3,000 elite soldiers from the sixteen regiments were covered with wolves and tigers. Looking down from the sky, they were like a winged eagle soaring in the sky, whistling and pounced towards their prey, unstoppable.

The "prey" had no intention of fighting. They had just escaped from Changqing City and had not yet escaped from the siege of the rebels. At this time, their first thought was not to stop fighting or fight to the death with the rebels, but to break out of the siege and fight out a way of life.

Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin each led a group of elite troops to break the rear and arrived desperately. Fan Hu and Cheng Zhijie each led the main force to follow the reinforcements and struggled to advance.

Zhang Xutuo was still rushing in front, covered in blood, fighting fiercely, and moving forward. Jia Runfu, Tang Wanren and other regiment commanders launched the strongest combat power and launched the most fierce attack. The whole army sacrificed their lives and fought for their lives, and advanced at any cost.

Meng Haigong's sixth regiment and the seventh regiment ran out from the flanks of the official army. They tried to tear the battle formations of the official army, divide the official army, and then used their advantages in military strength to defeat them one by one.

Shan Xiongxin's 17th Army also launched an attack on the flanks of the official army. Under the leadership of Shan Xiongxin, the Wagang people attacked Jia Runfu's troops fiercely, intending to cut off his battle formation in half and then cut off his contact with Zhang Xutuo in the front.

Cao Kun commanded the Second Army of the Alliance to block the front and fought bloody battles with Zhang Xutuo's personal guard team. The battle formations of the Second Army were like solid rocks, and remained unmoved under the continuous blows of the surging waves. Zhang Xutuo broke out, and his personal guard team went crazy, with larger, more powerful and more powerful "waves" coming one after another, hitting the "rock" one after another, making a shocking roar, and shaking the world.

On both sides of the east and west sides of the Zhongchuan River, Li Fengyun's alliance army and Zhang Xutuo's Qi County official army launched a bloody and fierce battle.

On the east bank, Jia Wuben formed a formation to defend his life and fought with his back. The two thousand official troops were like an iron-shelled turtle, lying in the valley with his head curled up, allowing the four alliance troops to "bomb" around it. The four alliance troops had more than 15,000 people, and the brigades were all squeezed into a narrow battlefield, crowded into a group, unable to expand their formation at all, and they could not play the advantage of large numbers. After fighting for a long time, they did not make any progress, but instead fell into a passive position.

In desperation, Zhen Baoche suggested that Han Jinluo withdraw from the east coast battlefield and lead the 11th and 12th Army to cross the Zhongchuan River, form a formation on the west coast of Zhongchuan River to block Zhang Xutuo, and cooperate with other armies of the alliance to encircle and annihilate Zhang Xutuo. The east coast of Zhongchuan River was attacked and killed by the Hu Ben Army and the Cavalry Army. With about 7,000 elite troops in the alliance, a "iron shell turtle" was surrounded and killed by the official army. Zhen Baoche and Huo Xiaohan were both confident and absolutely sure.

However, this suggestion conflicted with Li Fengyun's order. Li Fengyun's order was that after defeating the official army on the east bank of Zhongchuan River and lifting the siege of Shagou, Hu Ben and the Cavalry cooperated with Han Jinluo to set up a formation on the east bank to block Zhang Xutuo and prevent Zhang Xutuo from crossing the river, so as to gain enough time for other troops in the alliance to siege Zhang Xutuo.

Han Jinluo therefore questioned, believing that it is most appropriate to place the army on the east bank of the Zhongchuan River. It did not violate Li Fengyun's orders, and could also provide strong support to Hu Ben and the Cavalry to surround and kill the officials on the east bank. Zhen Baoche sighed secretly. On the surface, Han Jinluo made a point, but in fact he was still selfish. He was still determined to preserve his strength and was unwilling to kill the enemy in this battle. He just wanted to obtain and not give. How could such a mind be done?

Zhen Baoche persuaded him earnestly that when the white-haired general issued the order, he did not know that Zhang Xutuo would do his best to rescue the trapped official army in Changqing City. He did not know that Zhang Xutuo only left a small number of troops on the east bank of the Zhongchuan River, but the situation is basically clear now. The key to the victory and defeat of today's battle is on the west bank of the Zhongchuan River. The alliance should throw all its strength to the west bank battlefield, so you should enter the west bank battlefield to fight.

What the implication is that this is a good opportunity to make contributions. With credit, there is the capital to expand strength. With strength, you can compete with Li Fengyun. You should face the difficulties, rather than retreat.

However, Han Jinluo's unthinking rebuttal made Zhen Baoche speechless and indignant.

"As you said, as the main force of the alliance, you and General Huo should cross the river and enter the east bank battlefield at this moment, so that you can have greater confidence in encircling and annihilation of Zhang Xutuo. Just hand it over to someone else's remaining enemies on the east bank." Han Jinluo waved his hand and was full of heroism. "The eight thousand soldiers will destroy the remaining enemies with the momentum of destroying the dead."

Huo Xiaohan was angry. Shuai Rentai's ninth and tenth army had been defeated, and the Dongping faction urgently needed to make contributions and reverse the trend. The reason why Zhen Baoche crossed the river and entered the east bank battlefield to siege and kill Zhang Xutuo was to give Huo Xiaohan a chance to make contributions and give a favor to the Dongping faction. Unexpectedly, Han Jinluo was so despicable, and it would be fine if he didn't give favors, but he also took advantage of the situation. This was too heartless.

Zhen Baoche is waiting for further advice, but Huo Xiaohan insists on stopping it, "Zhen Shuai, I have recorded your favor. You and I will immediately cross the river to kill Zhang Xutuo. Let the remaining enemies in front of me be handed over to General Manager Han to clean up."

Zhen Baoche was very embarrassed, while Han Jinluo was proud.

Huo Xiaohan was furious and immediately ordered the Cavalry Army to withdraw from the battle and quickly cross the river to enter the east bank battlefield. Zhen Baoche had no choice but to follow Huo Xiaohan's plan and ordered the Hu Ben Army to withdraw from the battle, and flew to the east bank immediately after the Cavalry Army.

Jia Wuben's "Tortoise Formation" was already in danger, but the battle situation suddenly changed. The elite rebels who had beaten the "Tortoise Formation" to the scars suddenly withdrew. This not only gave the government troops time to breathe, but also gave the government troops the opportunity to reverse the crisis.

After the Hu Ben and Cavalry Armies withdrew, Han Jinluo then commanded the 11th and the 12th Army launched another attack. He thought that it was easy to surround and kill the remaining enemies in front of him. Unexpectedly, the "turtle formation" at this moment was no longer the "turtle formation" before, but the "turtle shell" Panlong formation. Jia Wu was about to fight back. Anyway, he was dead, so he might as well fight and even take a cushion before he died.

On the west bank, Zhang Xutuo was surrounded by the alliance army, but Zhang Xutuo had six or seven thousand troops. It was too difficult for Li Fengyun to "eat" the official army with an alliance army of less than 20,000. The result was either a tragic victory, killing one thousand enemies, and losing 800 to himself. Li Fengyun was absolutely not the case, or he failed. After paying a heavy price, he even let Zhang Xutuo break through and leave, which would be a big loss.

Li Fengyun ordered to surround Zhang Xutuo first, and as long as Zhang Xutuo is trapped on the east bank of Zhongchuan River, the alliance will always have the opportunity to surround him. For this reason, Zhang Xutuo urged Lu Mingxing, who was rushing from the battlefield of Shengcheng, to speed up the speed of the journey, and immediately threw the first, third, fourth and fifth armies of the alliance to the battlefield of Zhongchuan River. He also ordered Xu Shiren to rush back to the battlefield immediately, otherwise military law would be carried out; he also ordered Shuai Rentai to gather deserters as quickly as possible and reorganize the army. If he could return to the battlefield before dark, his merits and demerits would be offset and he would not be held accountable for defeat.

For the official army, time is life. The earlier you break out of the siege, the greater the chance of life. Otherwise, you will definitely die because they have no reinforcements, no supplies for food and weapons, and the soldiers' physical strength is limited. Even the soldiers who fight for a hundred battles cannot kill from morning to night. Therefore, the order Zhang Xutuo gave his subordinates is very simple: Kill, keep killing, and keep killing forward, and don't stop. Once you stop, you will be close to death.

The official army was in a desperate situation, and only fought to the death. The soldiers and soldiers worked together and moved forward. The morale became stronger and stronger, and the sound of killing became louder and louder. Gradually, the force was unstoppable, and those who stopped were invincible.

The alliance takes the initiative, but there are too many enemies, too strong and too fierce. If you are anxious, you will jump over the wall, let alone the official army that is deeply trapped in death? So you are eager to "can't eat it", you can only do your best to encircle it, and you can only wait for more friendly troops to enter the battlefield. You can only increase your own advantages little by little as the extension of time. When the advantage expands to a certain level, you will be sure to win. Therefore, the psychology of the rebel soldiers has changed unknowingly. Since this battle is bound to be won, why do I have to do my best? If I die, what is the significance of this battle to me? If my army loses too much, can the victory of this battle make up for my losses? If it cannot be compensated, what is the difference between this and my defeat?

As a result, some people care about their lives, while others protect their strength; thus, fewer and fewer people fight for their lives, and fewer and fewer brigades attacked fiercely at any cost; thus, the resistance to the official army breaks through, and the pressure of the rebels to encircle becomes greater and greater.

Xu Shiren's 13th Army retreated too quickly. After receiving the order from Li Fengyun to return to the battlefield, his pace of progress was too slow, and the 13th Army was delayed.

Lu Mingxing's support speed was very fast, but the situation changed faster. When Lu Mingxing received the order from Li Fengyun to support the Zhongchuan Water battlefield, his four armies immediately evacuated the Shengcheng battlefield and rushed to Zhongchuan Water. However, on the way, they encountered deserters, deserters of the Ninth and Tenth Army of the Alliance, and they received completely different messages from the deserters. Although these wrong messages could not affect the senior officers of each army, they seriously affected ordinary soldiers and grassroots officers, and affected the morale of the army.

All the friendly troops on the battlefield ahead have been defeated, so what else can we support? The government army is so strong that we can reverse the situation, so why don’t we fight to the death? Since there is no profit, the commanders have no motivation. Since they are in danger of their lives, ordinary soldiers are frightened and their pace of progress is naturally slow.

When the battle situation changed new, after Li Fengyun urged it repeatedly, the four armies under Lu Mingxing accelerated their pace again, but the fighter opportunity had been delayed. Before they could arrive at Changqing City, the battle situation changed again. Han Jinluo, on the east coast of the Zhongchuan River, was defeated by the government army surrounded by him, and it was an incredible defeat. This defeat directly led to a subversive change in the battle situation.

The "Dragon Formation" placed by Jia Wuben is like a python plate together. From a distance, it looks like an "iron-shelled turtle", but when you rush forward without any defense, the python's lightning strike will inevitably be a fatal blow. Han Jinluo was hit by Jia Wuben's fatal blow, and the elite brigade he sent to charge into the formation was hit by a devastating blow.

In an instant, Han Jinluo was confused. He didn't know why such an incredible thing happened, and he didn't know how to deal with the crisis faced after the huge loss of strength. Han Jinluo was confused and at a loss. His subordinates were also confused. The good situation was instantly subverted, which made them stunned and helpless. This was the consequence of lack of practical training. At the critical moment, the officers and soldiers did not know how to respond. As a result, the fighter jets were delayed one by one, and the crisis instantly expanded to the extreme, the situation was one side, and then it was out of control, defeated like a mountain of defeat, and collapsed.

Han Jinluo's collapse gave the Alliance army a fatal blow to the East Coast battlefield. He suffered two consecutive defeats, which not only hit the morale of the Alliance army, but also the confidence of the Alliance soldiers. In addition, reinforcements were delayed, and Zhang Xutuo tried his best to break through the siege. The official army fought for his life, and the pressure of encirclement finally exceeded the limit.

Cao Kun's second army retreated, the battle formation broke down, and he was unable to hold on.

Huo Xiaohan's cavalry army was defeated, and he couldn't stop it, and he was even more unwilling to fight for both sides.

Zhen Baoche's Hu Ben Army retreated, and the situation was hopeless. It would be impossible for him to block Zhang Xutuo by his own army.

So, Zhang Xutuo broke through, Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin broke through, and the officers and soldiers who fought side by side with them broke through.
