More than 50,000 people led by Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu were in desperate situation. Lou Xiang suddenly led his troops to retreat, which was an extremely successful tactic. Not only Zhao Pu, but Huang Xuanwu and Yang Hongfa, who were guarding Luzhou City, never expected that even Yun Zhao, who was on the front line, was extremely shocked. In Yun Zhao's view, this behavior of abandoning his comrades and escaping at the battle was unimaginable, and before that, Lou Xiang also acted like a decisive battle.

She Wenzhuang's idea deceived everyone in one fell swoop. Zhao Pu and Huang Xuanwu, who were also counting on him to rescue, had no other way except to be furious. They had no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

Yun Zhao was not angry about Lou Xiang's actions. On the contrary, this was a good thing for the Northern Army. Although the arrangements against Lou Xiang were all in the empty space, now, Wang Qiang's central army and Hu Zehua's Panshi Camp can all approach Zhao Huang's army and encircle their army with iron barrels.

After destroying the Zhao-Huang coalition, there was no more soldiers in Luzhou. Lou Xiang took away all the Luzhou town troops, and Luzhou City was already an empty city.

On November 8, Yun Zhao issued an order for the general attack, and within dozens of kilometers of Xiangshui Town, the Northern Army launched an attack at the same time.

Wang Qiang came from the direction of Li Yang and attacked the Zhaohuang coalition's left defense line Qili Chong. Ding Qiu led a unit to attack the Liuyan Chong on the right. Hu Zehua led his Panshi Battalion to attack the Huanglong Temple, the rear position of the Zhaohuang coalition. Yun Zhao led his personal guard camp and the main force of Meng Yaolucheng camp to face the Xiangshui Cave, where the central army of Zhaohuang coalition was located.

The battle first started with Ding Qiu's main attacker's six eyes.

Liuyans rushed to two mountains and one water. The two troops of the Zhaohuang coalition were guarding the right wing gate of the Zhaohuang coalition. The Gu family and Chen family had 10,000 troops completely wrapped the two mountains and a large reservoir surrounded by the mountains. The reservoir was not small in size and was built by the second magistrate after the founding of the Dachao Kingdom. At that time, it was mainly used to resist drought by the civil fields around Xiangshui Town. The two peaks formed the shape of a gourd mouth. A seal of the gourd mouth became a natural reservoir, attracting mountain springs, and using the water stored in the rainy season, Liuyanshui reservoir ensured that the surrounding area of ​​Xiangshui Town had never suffered from drought.

The camps built along the reservoir embankment and mountain peaks are quite difficult for the attackers, mainly because they are too steep. The upside attack is too unfavorable for the attackers. Gu Taichong and Chen Ang also put a lot of effort into building this camp. Ten thousand people defended this camp, which was more than enough in terms of number.

On the day of his arrival, Ding Qiu led the headquarters to attack the Liuyan Chong position. He took down Liuyan Chong and opened the left wing portal of Xiangshui Town. The first one to appear on the left side of Yun Zhao's main force was Ding Qiu's wish. He was unwilling to lose to Wang Qiang, the little guy like Meng Yao. He had a difficult knot with Wang Qiang. He had basically no relationships except for official business, and it was even more impossible to become friends. Speaking of which, they were both Wang Qiang's uncles, but because of Wang Fang's death, Wang Qiang was later involved in the murder of Wang Qiang's father and grandfather. Wang Qiang was always unwilling to forgive them. Even if Yun Zhao advised Wang Qiang many times for this, he would not say a word, which made Yun Zhao helpless.

With such a relationship between Brother Li, Ding Qiu certainly did not want to lose to Wang Qiang in this contest.

Because of the Liuyan Chong Reservoir, the water source of it is basically paddy fields around it, which are used to plant rice. Although the harvest season has passed, when you look at the dry fields, you often have to fall into the mud pit. Such a ground has caused the Zhengbei Army to suffer enough in the first attack.

They cannot run at speed, and during the attack, they cannot let themselves run. This means that they will become the target of the opponent. When the soldiers hold their shields and push forward in the muddy fields with difficulty, the tinkling sound of feather arrows shot on the shield can interpret the difficulties of the Northern Army.

No matter how well the protection is, there are always places that cannot be taken care of. From time to time, soldiers will fall into the mud and never get up. The soldiers behind will immediately carry these dead or injured comrades down, and the followers will still advance unswervingly.

Since the Battle of Fengkou, Lucheng Camp has been famous for fighting fierce battles. The soldiers did not even blink and shouted to move forward with all their injuries.

Behind them, the thunder cannons from Lucheng Camp made a rumbling sound, passing over the soldiers' heads from the sky, and bombarding heavily on the dam of the reservoir and in the camps on the hillside. From time to time, thunder cannons fell into the reservoir behind, causing waves to soar into the sky. The thunder cannons of the Northern Army mainly focus on destroying the camps, while the thunder cannons shot from the mountain focus on killing soldiers. They fired packs of crispy stone flakes, which flew into the air. Because of the huge inertia, they cut through their originally unsolid nets, roaring and rotating, raging on the positions of the soldiers of the Northern Army, causing great casualties to the Northern Army.

"Concentrate firepower and destroy the enemy's thunder cannon!" Ding Qiu spoke with a mask and seemed a little buzzing.

One of the biggest weaknesses of the defenders is the lack of long-range strike weapons. For private troops, swords, guns, armor and other things are not difficult to use. They can be obtained through various benefits. You can even get iron and secretly start construction and casting in your own air. Therefore, the personal equipment of these aristocratic coalition forces is actually not bad, and it is even far better than that of local town troops. However, long-range weapons such as thunderbolt cannons and crossbows are too complicated to build and cannot be bought. Even these are the ones that are obtained through personal relationships.

Too small amounts mean that although they can cause lethality, they are far from enough to curb the opponent's attack. When the Northern Army confirmed the opponent's thunder cannon position and began to focus on attacking these places, the iron sheets flying above their heads finally became sparse. The speed of the soldiers passing through this area immediately accelerated a lot.

The warriors' feet finally stepped onto the solid ground, and they began to face the opponent's camp from the halfway up to the top of the mountain, from the levee to the top of the embankment.

Without a moment of stay, the soldiers bent over and held up their iron shields and began to attack.

After the first wave of attackers, there were a group of baggage soldiers holding sledgehammers and stakes one after another. They waved the hammers and smashed the stakes into the ground in a row.

These piles are mainly used to intercept the opponent's attacks of pounding and rolling stones. With these irregularly arranged pounding and rolling stones, the pounding and rolling stones will be intercepted one by one without causing greater losses to the attacker as the inertia becomes faster and faster.

In a moment, on the hillside and on the embankment, there were shadows of the northern army covered in black.

The sword raised by Gu Taichong fell heavily. On the defense line, the soldiers raised a piece of tree pole that was thick and thick, and threw it heavily. When they just came out, the bowstrings in the hands of the archers covered by the shield soldiers had already sounded. These people fell heavily to the ground, and some of the rolling trees were not enough to throw them down. As the soldiers fell to the ground, they hit them heavily, but more of them rumbled up the steep hillside.

Before blocking the pile, blood was stained with the attacker's blood until one by one was blocked by blocking the pile.

Hundreds of pounds of big rocks roared, knocking away soldiers, crushing corpses, destroying stakes one by one, roaring and rolling into the mud at the bottom, splashing mud all over the sky, and most of their bodies fell into the mud.

The attackers were not afraid at all and continued to advance forward. The baggage soldiers were not discouraged and continued to move upwards. They nailed wooden stakes into the soil and continued to extend these things upwards until the boulders could not exert their impact. They could intercept them. Although each attack would destroy many stakes, they were still slowly extending upwards.

Looking at the Zhengbei Kingdom that continued to move forward, Gu Taichong's face looked extremely bad. If it weren't for the fact that there was no way to escape, he would have led his troops to escape, but now, he could only grit his teeth and hold it hard to the bottom.

Li Zuxin, the captain of the 8th Squad of the Fifth Side of Lucheng Camp, did not hold a shield. He thought the thing was too heavy and greatly affected his speed. He only brought a scimitar, half lying on the ground, on all sides, crawling forward quickly along a curve, and staring at the top with his raised head tightly. If he saw a huge rock or a rolling wood appear, he immediately ran to one side. When he heard the roar of arrows, he pressed himself tightly to the ground, sometimes crawling, sometimes jumping up. He ran like a raccoon cat, and the bottom of the slope was getting closer and closer to him.

Influenced by him, his team of 100 people was basically the case. So they ran to the front of everyone. Of course, their casualties were the greatest. When Li Zuxin broke up to the top of the slope, jumped high, and raised his knife to slash at a soldier who was about to shoot, he had only more than 60 people left.

The sword cut off the bowstring and cut off the arm of the bow holder. Li Zuxin rushed forward. The sword cut horizontally, cutting the man's chest and abdomen. The internal organs surged out. Li Zuxin attacked another soldier horizontally and wanted to expand the area he occupied.

Behind him, his team had already stepped onto the embankment

After the embankment, the Gu private army jumped up one after another and launched a counterattack towards the Northern Expedition Army. If they could not be killed or driven away at the first time, the followers would be endless.

Gu Taichong rushed to the front line with a knife

The Northern Army was able to rush up to the embankment so quickly and start hand-to-hand combat, which surprised him

In the distance, the Northern Army's position was conquered, and the flag-holder excitedly said to Ding Chong: "Attack, attack!"

Ding Qiu shook his head slightly, wearing a mask on his face, and he couldn't see his expression, but his years of experience in fighting made him know that in addition to causing certain damage to the enemy and psychological blows, there would be no other result. This group of attackers were afraid that they would not be able to come back.

"Is that team attacking?" Ding Qiu turned around and said to the inspector beside him.

"I don't know yet!"

"They may not be able to come back, so they will remember their first merits. After the war is over, they will be rewarded with first-class military merits and given pensions!"
