Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guard was more than a hundred miles away from Qin Lifeng's army. His deputy general Gao Xingwang led more than 10,000 people to attack Xia Kang, while he led the central army to slowly follow Qin Lifeng. When Qin Lifeng was attacked about fifty miles outside Shangkang City, Jiang Guangyu had just stepped into the border of Liangzhou.<-　　

This time, General Cheng was determined to cut off Yun Zhao's connection with Jiangnan. Jiang Guangyu's Leopard Guard was just the first wave of attacks. Most of Liu Huajian's leading guards were slowly withdrawing from the Yantai border, preparing to keep up with his own pace to carry out a second wave of attacks. Bo Lu was attacking the other side of Liangzhou. The withdrawal of Liu Huajian's main force has given Bo Lu a powerful signal, that is, at this stage, our two families attack Liangzhou together.

Cheng Qun believed that Bo Lu would definitely understand this signal because this was another way to support Yanjing. When Liangzhou was in a hurry and Luzhou was threatened, Yun Zhao would definitely dispatch reinforcements to Luzhou to prevent Luzhou from being captured.

When the whistleman found out that Bo Lu had indeed left Liu Huajian's main force, more than 10,000 main cavalrymen who were stationed in Taizhou also left Taizhou and joined the ranks of attacking Liangzhou.

Everything seemed so perfect, and all actions were under General Cheng's calculations. Jiang Guangyu had to admire Cheng Qun's strategy to maintain the three parties as much as possible. Only in this way can it be the most beneficial to them. First Journey 707

Whoever is strong will join forces to fight with one side, and only when the strongest one deteriorates to the same level as them! A stalemate is formed, and only if this strategy is successful, then they will eventually benefit, because they only need to wait for the Fourth Master Li Xiao to successfully reach the top, and then they can get a steady stream of troops and resources to replenish them, and then they will get the final victory in this long stalemate.

The Northern Army and the Mongol Yuan were not fools. Of course they could see General Cheng’s plan, but even so what? No one wanted to be the first victim, so even if they knew it was a trap, they could only jump down with their eyes closed and then strive not to be the first person to be killed.

"General!" Gu Lie, the vanguard general under his command, made great strides. Gu Lie was just in his forties this year, and was in his prime. His bearded face made him look particularly ferocious and fierce. In fact, this man was born in a noble family and had a lot of ink. If he abandoned martial arts and followed the literature, he would not dare to say that he was ranked in the top three, and there would be no problem with the exam for a Jinshi.

"How is it?" Jiang Guangyu asked.

"Qin Lifeng was defeated!" Gu Lie shook his head and said.

"Defeated, so fast?" Although he expected the ending of Qin Lifeng, the defeat so quickly still made Jiang Guangyu feel a little incredible.

"Shangguan Biao, the Ranger General of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Expedition Army who was stationed in Shangkang, led 3,000 soldiers out of the city and raided halfway. He caught Qin Lifeng off guard. After one day's battle, Qin Lifeng was defeated and more than 10,000 soldiers were damaged!" Gu Lie said.

"The mud cannot support the wall!" Jiang Guangyu said angrily: "Twenty thousand people, even 20,000 pigs. Standing there and not moving, letting Shangguan Biao chop him, he will have to cut him down. He will not die in a day! How did he lose?"

Gu Lie shook his head and said, "Qin Lifeng didn't know the confidence from where he came from. He believed that the Northern Army would definitely not dare to go out of the city to fight him in the field. He must defend the city. His 20,000 people did not divide the battle sequence at all, and there was no response from the front and back. He actually dragged a dozen miles long teams like a long snake. They were cut off by Shangguan Biao and then attacked his central army fiercely. Qin Lifeng's central army could not bear it. Once he ran away, the entire team was disbanded and not many people died. One or two thousand people were just scared and ran away!"

"Where is Qin Lifeng?"

"I escaped and retreated for dozens of miles before I set up the camp. I'm afraid I'm collecting the remaining troops now!"

"Why don't he die!" Jiang Guangyu said angrily. "Forget it, he can only be regarded as cannon fodder anyway. If he loses, he will lose. He didn't expect him to win."

"It's just a pity that the large amount of weapons and mules and horses we gave him were accepted happily by Shangguan Biao!" Gu Lie said angrily: "That Qin Lifeng sent someone back to ask for help, asking us to give him some more support!"

"Give him, give him, let him attack Shang Kang immediately. This time, let him have some eyes. I don't expect him to win, but I have to expect to lose one thousand and kill one hundred enemies!"

Gu Lie laughed, "General said this! Oh, by the way, how is General Gao Xingwang's attack on Xia Kang? Is it going smoothly?"

"Xiakang is stationed in another unit of the Fifth Battalion of the Northern Expedition Army. What is the name of the garrison general Zeng Ke? A young general in his early twenties is very difficult to deal with. He started to set obstacles for Gao Xingwang from outside Xiakang City and retreat while fighting. Now, although Gao Xingwang has reached Xiakang City, the losses have exceeded a thousand people." Jiang Guangyu shook his head and sighed: "The generals of this Fifth Battalion are all very young, but because of their youth, they are sometimes difficult to find the right path. They dare to fight and rush, and dare not be the ones who dare to be the ones. Gao Xingwang is the kind of traditional general who is very rigid. It is difficult to deal with these newcomers. Now they can only respond to changes and slowly crush them. The quickness is not fast, but it is finally safe!"

Gu Lie shrugged, "General Jiang, let's speed up. Qin Lifeng won't do anything. If he loses another battle, our morale will also be affected!"

Jiang Guangyu nodded, "You make sense. Gu Lie, speed up and tightly deter Qin Lifeng and others, and cheer him up. It is necessary to give him some support and give him more courage!"

"I understand!" Gu Lie nodded. The first trip to 707

"Don't underestimate your opponent. Shangguan Biao dared to lead three thousand people to attack Qin Lifeng's 20,000 troops. Even if Qin Lifeng is just a pile of garbage, this insight should not be underestimated!"

"The most general understands, the most general is leaving!" Gu Lie bowed with his fists and turned around and strode away.

Jiang Guangyu touched the neat beard on his chin, "Wang Qiang, Wang Qiang, I'm really looking forward to fighting with you! At a young age, he can actually cultivate so many outstanding subordinates. It's amazing!"

Five days later, Qin Lifeng, who had gathered the remaining soldiers, launched an attack on Shangkang again. The first battle made him lose five thousand people. What made him most angry was that more than half of these five thousand people ran away. After seeing the power of the field battle of the North Army, some people ran away in an established manner. The camp was filled with grief. The heroic spirit of devouring mountains and rivers when he set out in Qinjiabao was beaten outside the nine-six clouds by Shangguan Biao in one battle. Fortunately, Jiang Guangyu timely added a large number of weapons to them, and the Gulie tribe of the Leopard Guard also accelerated the pace of progress. At this time, it was only a few ten miles away from him. With this support, Qin Lifeng felt that his back was harder again.

Sure enough, this time, Qin Lifeng, who had set up a battle to attack, encountered no resistance and advanced to Shangkang City, which made him breathe a long sigh.

Shangguan Biao stood on the city tower, looking at Qin Jiabing who was in a formation under the city, and said to Hu Wei beside him hatefully: "See, what is a dog dependent on human power? This is, with the support of the Leopard Guard, Qin Lifeng's backstands have become hard again. Well, let you see the skill of my guarding the city again! The first post is two thousand people guarding the city, the second post is on standby to support the city. The third post is resting and ready to rotate."

"As for the orders, General!" Behind him, a row of lieutenants responded in unison.

"Prepare the rocks and rolling woods. In addition, boiling oil and other things are also ready. Add more manure and less oil, which is more precious!" Shangguan Biaohu said with a face.

Hu Wei held back his laughter, "Yes, General."

"By the way. Warn the people in the city to stay away from the city wall. When the thunder cannon comes in, the attack targets will be within one or two hundred meters away from the city wall. Be careful of the disaster."

"Yes, but General, some people in the city volunteered to come and help the war, what should I do?" Hu Wei asked.

"No!" Shangguan Biao said without hesitation: "War is the business of soldiers. It has nothing to do with them. Close the door of his home and don't come out to cause trouble for us. They don't know anything. If they come up, they might get rid of their hair. We are not at the end of the road. The soldiers in the city are so good and the food is enough, so what's wrong with them!"

"I understand, I'll drive them home now!" Hu Wei turned around and wanted to go.

"Wait a minute!" Shangguan Biao scratched his head, "The people are also full of enthusiasm. It is not good to chase them like this. Tell them that when you fight, you don't need them. If you want to help us, you can manage a stretcher and something else. Then you can help lift the wounded. Well, it's enough to help cook, and it's okay to make some hot soup to keep the soldiers cold."

"It's the general, I understand!" Hu Wei jogged down the city.

Suddenly, a huge howling sound came from the air. "Thunderbolt cannon!" someone exclaimed.

Shangguan Biao and a group of lieutenants immediately took a few steps, put their bodies on the city wall, looked up and saw a stone bullet breaking through the sky, passing over the city, flying into the city, and with a roar, a house in the city immediately opened the skylight, and someone rushed out of the house in surprise.

"***, why are there still people in this room?" Shangguan Biao cursed angrily, stood up from the base of the wall, Shangguan Biao pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Brothers, prepare for battle!"

The thunderbolt cannon just now was a test of the shooting range. Next, it would inevitably be a vast long-range strike to cover the attack of the siege infantry to attack Shangkang City. One by one, the crossbows were pushed out from the tunnel cave. The crossbow arrows as thick as arms had been twisted. The shield soldiers rushed out first and set up giant shields on the battlements. Rows of crossbowmen and long spearmen immediately rushed out. In the city, the thunderbolt cannon's long throwing arms began to be tightened, ready to fire after the enemy began to attack.

On and down the city, the sound of war drums sounded almost in unison.

"The Northern Army will win thousands of victories!" Shangguan Biao said angrily.

"Wan Sheng!" The first trip to 707

When the offensive and defensive battle in Shangkang City officially began, Xiakang, the attack led by the general Gao Xingwang of the Leopard Guard, had been fighting for two days. Zeng Ke cut a Leopard Guard captain who had just climbed the city wall into two pieces with one knife. Seeing the short arrows of thunder fire like rain swept down the Leopard Guard who climbed the city like cutting wheat, he couldn't help but laugh happily.

The first time the Leopard Guard attacked the city was unable to withstand such a dense attack, and retreated like a tide. On the city, he waved his bloody sword and laughed wildly.

"Strike the Northern Army!"

"Wansheng!" Countless soldiers jumped above the city and cheered.

There was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, black stone bullets, and rain-like crossbows broke through the air.
