In October, the six main masters of the empire gathered together, with Xiyan Prefecture and Jiuchuan Prefecture as the rear, and fiercely attacked the Holy Sect army that occupied Songling Prefecture. However, in November, the situation suddenly changed. The private army of the noble clan, mainly two divisions of Jialin Prefecture, penetrated the heart of the Jiuchuan Prefecture Empire, thus causing a major reversal in the battle situation.

The autumn rain was full, with a little coldness. On this peaceful and rich land in the past, the six major power regiments of the Empire were now only three divisions with severe energy were besieged in the area of ​​Cuiqiu. The troops were less than 40,000. Although they still occupied several cities and defended each other for a horn, the Holy Cult troops besieged on the left and right had closed all their retreat. [bsp;    They were killed by their own people, and then besieged for more than half a month. Seeing that more and more Holy Cult soldiers were surrounded outside the city, and even the connection between the three cities had already had problems. Although there was no shortage of food and grass, no one was optimistic about this situation.

Ga, a crisp bird song sounded under the moon, and a bird full of black feathers flapped its wings and landed on the wall of Nanlong Town. Wen Chou jumped off the back of Wujiu and came to a battlement, and said to Xiahou Yuan who was standing on the wall:

"The situation is not optimistic. Among the three cities, morale is no longer available, and rumors are endless. There are even troops connected in private. I am afraid that the imperial army may not be defeated without attacking!"

Xiahou Yuan looked at the camps outside the town with large bonfires burning outside the town. Even on this night, Shi Fang was still digging trenches and then advancing layer by layer. The opponent's troops may not be as good as the elite here, or even a group of farmers who had just picked up weapons. However, facing these layers of siege, the dense refusal of horses gradually became isolated here.

He sighed and said, "The Suzaku Legion and the Crazy Python Legion are too old. Although they are all considered elite, they are like a stagnant water. The generals do not know the soldiers and do not know how to inspire the rustic spirit. They only use military rules to suppress them. There is no connection between the upper and lower levels. However, the Holy Cult Army does not urgently attack, but takes steps forward. The other party knows his own disadvantages very well, so he only sieges and does not attack!"

"And I keep using my own tricks, and I publish a large number of documents to persuade surrender every day, making promises to make a promise. I am unsatisfied, with the gap between the top and the bottom, and there are outsiders who are exercising. In addition, I am forced to do so, and sooner or later, someone will surrender sooner or later, and once someone stands up, Bi Chong will follow the example!"

"Now I can only find a way to break through. If I gather all the troops of the three divisions, the Imperial Army will still have tens of thousands, and there are also many strong people in the army. If you forcefully break through, you should be able to kill them!"

Wen Chou Dao.

"It seems a bit too late to say this now. The accumulated problems within the Imperial Army have been exposed in this battle. The large-scale rebellion of the Panshi Legion and the noble tribe's turn against each other. This is not accidental. The self-interest is too heavy. This army has long been removed from its bone marrow, but now it is just the true form of being beaten up!"

"Look at it. If you continue to stick to it, you may be able to hold on for two more days, but if you break through, you may not be able to defend it for a day!"

Chen Nan in Cuiqiu City finally made up his mind that it was impossible to continue defending. The reinforcements he had been hoping for were no longer possible. In this battle, most of the elite troops in Chuzhou were lost. Seeing that the Huang family and the newly emerging Leng family had no intention of coming to help, of course, even if they wanted to come, they had nowhere to mobilize their troops.

A few months ago, Xiangyang was reorganized and thirty-four divisions were organized, including fifteen main divisions. But at present, the fifteen main divisions formed by the three legions of Zhuque, Panshi and Crazy Python, the Five Panshi Masters no longer exist. They were either incorporated by the noble clan, or gathered by the Holy Sect Army, and then they were self-organized, but they were not respected by the empire.

Three of the Suzaku Legion came, and now they only stabbed one of the divisions that had damaged their vitality. The remaining two were dispersed when they were attacked from behind. The remaining soldiers were not sure how many troops could be retracted. One of the three divisions of the Crazy Python Legion was intact, but they were scared out of their courage and did not dare to act rashly. The remaining two were also severely injured in the vitality and guarded Nanlong and Weiyang. The remaining several divisions were stationed in Chuzhou, and the northern prefectures were still in the north, and they had to guard against Li Tang in the north, so they could no longer be mobilized.

Half of the remaining nineteen local divisions were private troops of the noble tribe, and there were two divisions of Jialin rebellion. Who would dare to use the noble tribe? As for other local divisions, he still didn't know what kind of virtues they were. They were just a group of mobs who were relying on them to rescue them. Not to mention that time was too late, even if it was too late, could you serve them?

"Breakthrough!" Chen Nan finally made this decision and ordered a breakthrough.

In Xishui County, Leng Zhuo sat in the county yamen. Listening to Xiahou Yuan's story, Cuiqiu's breakthrough finally became a tragic song. Chen Nan still didn't understand the troops he commanded. When he arranged the breakthrough plan, an irreparable loophole was destined to be the result of this breakthrough.

"Has the person been saved?"

"Return to the young master, General Wen personally escorted Mr. Chen back to the Zhuque City!"

"Well, I understand. Chen Nan was defeated and lost half of Chuzhou. His life will not be easy in the future. Let him attract everyone's attention first. Next is the time for us to perform on stage. Keep the Xiangshui line and we are the heroes of the empire!"

Leng Zhuo said, but turned around and looked at Guo Jia who arrived a day ago, saying, "Military advisor, I heard that the defeated soldiers of the Suzaku Legion had gathered three or four thousand?"

"Well, they all collapsed before. Some of them were thrown into the mad python regiment in the north, and some passed through the Xiangshui River and were gathered in a camp next to the Xiangshui River. There were almost four people! The young master is interested in this army?"

"Haha, there is no way. We have too few people to use. We really have to rely on our own recruitment and training. It will be difficult to become elite soldiers in one or two years. Although the three legions have many bad habits, the soldiers below are recruited from the Preparatory College. They have been trained for many years, and there have been several major wars, which are quite experienced in combat. As for morale issues, I think it is not difficult for us."

"But these people seem to be soldiers of the Vermilion Bird Legion. It seems that it will be a bit difficult for the young master to take it for himself!" Guo Jia only took more than a month to understand the current pattern distribution of Chuzhou. If Chen Nan died, he could still find a reason. However, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Legion is still alive and it would be a bit difficult to poach like this. He has a bad reputation!

"Of course we can't stand up. When we were in Xizi Town, we rescued a man named Liu Rufeng. We met in Zhuque City in the past, but my grandfather was a subordinate of the army. In addition, he also had a neutral sect in the Zhuque Legion. He also had the position of brigade commander. It should be legitimate to let him command this army. In addition, General Xiahou as his deputy, reorganized this army as soon as possible. Soon, the Holy Cult Army will attack the Xiangshui line. We must resist this wave. Even if we have to retreat to the other side in the end, the Holy Cult Army will not dare to cross the Xiangshui line rashly!"

When the troops were used, they hated a lot of military power. Although they had seized a lot of military power before, they calculated that there were very few that could be used. The Xiangshui line stretched for three or four thousand miles, which was the largest river in Chuzhou. The defense of the entire line was not good. But even if they only guarded the ferry crossing along the line, there were more than ten, and there were nine of them, which were the place to defend!" By the way, there were several brigades of the 15th Division now!" Tieba shook hands and hand to contribute. When Leng Zhuo obtained the military power of more than ten brigades, there was only one brigade of the 15th Division of the Panshi Legion, and the remaining four brigades were controlled by famous generals under Leng Zhuo.

Taiqiong of the 71st Brigade, Wei Chigong of the 72nd Brigade, Han Qinhu of the 74th Brigade, Shi Wansui of the 75th Brigade, and the division commander was Chen Qingzhi. It can be said that Jialin Mansion was the most expected to be included in the southwest Mansion by Leng Zhuo.

But the situation is a bit unoptimistic. Compared with the Guijia tribes who have been in Jialin Mansion for many years, the newly reorganized 14th Division is more like an outsider. Moreover, the Guijia army headed by the Zi family has two divisions. After absorbing some of the forces of the Panshi Legion, the scale has been expanded. In addition, the local area also tends to the Zi family, and the situation in Jialin Mansion is even more terrifying.

"Qin Qiong's troops were in the Xiaotang Mountain area, and Wei Chigong's troops occupied Xiguan. Several places in Lin County, Han Qinhu's troops had just withdrawn from Xiangcheng in the north and marched towards Xiguan. As for Shi Wansui's troops, Ziyang, west of Jialing, was stuck there and surrounded by the Guizhou army on the west road!"

"So, the area east of Jialin Mansion is still in our hands!"

"Yes, but the noble tribe army is heading south and attacking the areas we control. Several brigades of the 15th Division are newly built. There are not many veterans. Although they recruited some soldiers from the local area, they have only been trained for less than three months and there are not enough weapons, so it is difficult to defend." Leng Zhuo said nothing. The Leng family's foundation was too poor before. Although they fought for a lot of military power in the battle of Xiangyang in June, it is only five months now. Half of these five months has been wasted on the Tianhe line in Xiangyang. It has been less than three months since they returned to the base. The time is too short and they cannot even stand firm.
