On the afternoon of the sixth day of the August 1st, Yongyang Post more than 20 miles east of Yicheng, Zhen Baoche's Hu Ben Army and Lu Mingxing's Cavalry Army met head-on with the First Army of Xiaoguo led by the general Fan Wenchao of Zhechonglang. The two sides fought in close combat. The elites of the seven thousand alliance and the two thousand elites of the seven thousand alliance faced each other head-on, killing the earth-shaking. The arrogant and confident Xiaoguo suffered the loss of carelessness and underestimation of the enemy. He was beaten by the alliance army and turned around. Fortunately, the soldiers of Xiaoguo have rich combat experience. When they saw that the momentum was wrong, they immediately turned from attack to defense, resisting to the death, waiting for the support of the main force behind them.

When Yin Shishi heard the news, he was immediately alert. Fan Wenchao belonged to the young and strong sect among the commanders of Xiaoguo. He dared to rush and fight, and should not lie about military information.

Fan Wenchao is the son of Fan Zigai, the Minister of Civil Affairs and the Dongdu, who was promoted step by step because his father was at the center. He was a typical second-generation official. He was neither from the army nor rising up for military merits. He was valued by the Holy Lord purely because of his father's relationship. He was previously appointed as the fifth-rank Zhige in the Supervisor Mansion, commanded the imperial guards, and later transferred to Xiaoguo as the fourth-rank Zhechong Lang General. He could be said to have "sky" but this son is not a playboy. He is indeed a real talent and knowledge, both civil and military, and has a good rule in leading the army to fight. It can be seen that the Holy Lord still has principles and bottom lines in employed people. It is precisely because of this that Fan Wenchao would rather die standing and die than live on his knees. He must defend the authority of the Holy Lord and his father with his life and blood.

Yin Shishi Master was worried that he would be surrounded by a trap. Although he despised the rebels and was confident in Xiaoguo's strong strength, strength on the battlefield was not the only factor that determines the outcome. He had to consider that he might "lose Jingzhou carelessly". Once he lost his horse and capsized his ship in the gutter, his reputation was destroyed. Xiaoguo's heavy losses were also a minor matter. However, the authority of the Holy Lord and the Central Government suffered a heavy blow. The situation of the northern border garrison and even the relationship between the north and the south took a sharp turn. That was an extraordinary event. It would be difficult for him to redeem his sins even if he died.

Yinshi Master immediately ordered that the general Qu Tushou of Zhechong went to Yongyang Post to support Fan Wenchao. He also ordered the general Yuan Li of Zhechong, who had cut off the rear, to suspend his advance and arrange his formation on the spot. If the battle situation suddenly changes and is not conducive to the main army, the rear army will become the front army. Yuan Li leads the army to retreat to Laishui first, defend Jinkou, and ensure the retreat of the army.

Yinshi Master followed Qu Tushou with fifty light cavalry and went to Yongyang Post to observe the enemy situation.

Qu Tushou led his army to travel three miles, and he was about to arrive at Yongyang Post. He could hear the sound of drums coming from the battlefield ahead. Suddenly, the sound of thunder-like war drums sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue. Then the sound of killing sounds were everywhere, and the flags flew, and countless rebel soldiers rushed out like a flood. In a blink of an eye, Qu Tushou and his two thousand beauties were surrounded.

The Yinshi Master and the fifty light cavalry who followed him were shocked. They took advantage of the encirclement before they closed, and fought to break out and walked.

After meeting Yuanli, Yinshishishi faced two choices. One was to accept the fact of failure and lead the remnants to retreat quickly, retreat east of Laishui, first met Duan Da, and then came to rescue Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou. But the problem was that Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou did not bring enough food and grass weapons. Even though they persisted in the siege of the rebels and stood firm and waited for assistance, they would only last for one day at most.

In the next day, was Yinshi Master confident that he would cross the river and successfully rescue Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou? Yinshi Master was not sure of this. So far, he had not figured out the reality of the rebels, but one thing is certain that the rebels' strength was far stronger than he thought, and the white-haired thief's military use was far more superb than he thought, so he had an unknown intuition that if he retreated at this moment, Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou would definitely be wiped out.

Fan Wenchao is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the son of Fan Zigai, who is left by the Eastern Capital. Qu Tushou is the son of Qu Tutong, the right guard general. Fan Zigai and Qu Tutong are both trusted and trusted by the Holy Lord. It is not difficult to imagine what the consequences would be if Yinshi Master left Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou and escaped alone.

In this way, Yinshi Master has only one choice left, living and dying with Xiaoguo.

Yinshishi ordered attack, attack with all his might, tore open the encirclement of the rebels, defeat the rebels, rescue Qu Tushou at all costs, rescue Fan Wenchao, and rescue every Xiaoguo brother.

At the same time, Yinshi Division sent trusted guards to the battlefield of Jumahe and asked Duan Da for help. Yinshi Division was confident of rescuing Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou, but was not sure to break out of the siege of the rebels. After all, there was a Laishui River on the way to evacuation. If there was no support and was attacked by the rebels halfway, the losses would be immeasurable.

General Yuan Li of Zhechong Lang did not question the orders of Yinshishi. Although the sudden war situation did surprise him, he was disdainful of the rebels in front of him. He was just careless and underestimated the enemy. He temporarily gave the rebels some advantage, but strength determines everything. With the strong strength of the Xiaoguo Army, as long as he takes all his strength and attacks with all his strength, he will be able to tear the rebels in front of him who are ignorant of the sky and earth, who are seeking death.

However, for some purpose, Yuan Li still reminded Yinshi Master, "If the white-haired thief puts his main force on the west bank of Laishui, his primary purpose must be to ensure the safety of the retreat."

As soon as this statement came out, Yinshi Master was secretly frightened. If the white-haired thief placed the main force on the west bank of Laishui to ensure the safety of the retreat, then the white-haired thief would not have the courage to fight to the death with him, and he would have greater confidence in rescuing Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou. But the problem is that the rebels on the Jumahe were useless, purely bluffing. Duan Da would be able to attack in one go. Then how would Duan Da make a decision? Should he take the opportunity to help Gaoyang, or meet him and go south together? If he would rush to help Gaoyang as quickly as possible in order to seize time, he would inevitably divide his troops into two groups. He led the team first and left himself behind to follow up. This situation would be unfavorable. When the white-haired thief saw Duan Da hurried south, he would definitely do his best to surround Xiaoguo. Because of the lack of Duan Da's timely support, he was very likely to be trapped by the rebels on the west bank of Laishui.

But if you want to stop Duan Da from taking advantage of the situation and going south, you must tell Duan Da Xiaoguo is surrounded by rebels and is in danger. Otherwise, you will be downplayed by Duan Da’s judgment, misunderstanding that Xiaoguo is suspected of deliberately delaying his speed of going south, so he may not have returned to the army. In this way, Xiaoguo is likely to have really ruined his life for "face".

Yin Shishi Master hesitated. Is Xiaoguo surrounded by the rebels and in danger? Duan Da must do his best to provide support? This is not just a matter of "face", but also related to Yin Shishi Master's future. Although he and Duan Da are friends with Duan Da and have a very good personal relationship, Duan Da will definitely not betray him, but what about the others? Will Yuan Li, who came from the first wealthy family of the surname of the Lep, and Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou, "stab the knife" in the back?

In an instant, Yinshi Master made a decision. He would rather not have a career in the officialdom than to ensure the lives of the Xiaoguo soldiers. Besides, Duan Da had advised him to stay in Zhuo County and his brothers would guard the border together. Since that was the case, it would be better to take this opportunity to agree to Duan Da. Although leaving Xiaoguo and staying away from the Holy Lord and the Central Committee, his career might end, but compared to the annihilation of the entire army, his reputation for being famous for his lifetime is tens of millions of times stronger.

"I urgently reported Duan Liuguan, and said that I, Xiaoguo, was surrounded by rebels and was in danger. Please support me at all costs." Yinshishi waved his hand to the trusted guards and said sternly, "Please be sure to rush to Laishui River as fast as possible, cross the river and attack the west, and respond with all my strength to withdraw from the battlefield."

The personal guard bowed and rushed away.

Yuan Li looked grim, and a hint of undetectable sneer flashed through his eyes. Yinshishima is going to be in trouble. Even if the Xiaoguo Army is out of power, it beats the rebels to flee in a panic, and successfully rescues Fan Wenchao and Qu Tushou, it can even achieve the pre-war goal, successfully rescue the siege of Yicheng, and captures the Five Huicheng City, it will be difficult to save the Yinshima Army's future in the Xiaoguo Army. Xiaoguo Army is the face of the Saint Lord. If you make the Saint Lord shame, can you continue to stay with the Xiaoguo Army and stay by the Saint Lord?

The Xiaoguo Army launched a fierce counterattack, and the Yinshi Master led the way. The Xiaoguo soldiers moved forward, and the sound of killing shook the sky and were as powerful as a rainbow.

At the same time, at Yongyangyi, Fan Wenchao had fully experienced the "power" of the rebels. The opponent's strength was indeed worse than his, but because of the opponent's number of people, sharp weapons, and strong morale. If he continues to fight, he will definitely lose. So he ordered the defense to shrink and stand firm and wait for support.

The reinforcements were not far behind, and were fighting fiercely with the rebels. They were probably going to fight soon. Therefore, Fan Wenchao and Xiaoguo soldiers were optimistic. While defending with all their might, they waited patiently. What was strange was that the rebels' offensive weakened accordingly. I don't know if the losses were too great or that Xiaoguo's reinforcements had more troops restrained.

Qu Tushou did not shrink his defense, but instead fought to the death and attacked forward at all costs. He determined that Fan Wenchao had been surrounded by the rebels and believed that those surrounded from all directions were all rebels' blocking teams. For this reason, he had to break through the enemy's siege and meet Fan Wenchao. Only in this way can he rescue Fan Wenchao so that he would not be divided and surrounded by the rebels and defeated them one by one.

At this moment, Li Fengyun was on the front line of Yongyang Post. Faced with the changes in the battle situation, he made a decisive decision and ordered Xiahou Zhe, the general manager of the alliance who was head-on to block Qu Tushou, to immediately make way for Qu Tushou to meet Fan Wenchao?

He also ordered the Fifth Army of the Alliance, which was head-on to block the Yinshi Division, to fight and retreat, and to lure the Yinshi Division into the encirclement.

He also ordered Guo Fangyu, the general manager who was on standby to rush to Laishui River immediately to meet with Guo Ming, the general manager who arrived at Laishui River in advance, and to block the Guards' army across the river at any cost.

He also ordered the general manager Wang Bo, who was on standby in the army, to immediately lead the army to join the main battlefield to ensure the "thickness" and "strength" of the encirclement and not give the Xiaoguo army a chance to break through.

"Is there any news from Duke Jianchang (Li Zixiong)?" After Li Fengyun issued a series of orders, he turned to the Jumahe battlefield.

Yuan An smiled and shook his head, "No news is good news. However, judging from the current situation of the war, Yin Shishi Division has been surrounded by us because of the lonely army. The situation of the war is very beneficial to us. Duan Da is still cautious as usual. It is too difficult for Duke Jianchang to lure him into the encirclement, so he has a suggestion."

Li Fengyun understood and smiled and nodded, "Good! Let me tell you about Jianchang, the time is up, so it's better to contact us early. You can still sell your favors after the negotiations, otherwise you will decide the outcome, tear your face and make enemies, and it will be difficult to talk again."
