November 10th.

The Lanshui cavalry joined forces with the Liangliao cavalry to launch an attack on the Hongxiang cavalry.

Five thousand men were killed in the battle, three hundred were captured, and the rest were scattered.

The two armies had a total of 9,000 people, and 4,000 were killed or wounded. The Lanshui unit suffered 1,200 casualties. The main reason they did not collapse early was that the confrontation was too fast and they had no time to react. This cavalry unit participated in such a battle for the first time. Being in the queue, it was difficult to estimate casualties from a personal perspective. They only knew that the two Liao cavalry, as friendly forces, were still charging.

November 11th.

Hong Xiangyang kept his troops in place and gave up the order to control his Lanshui County.

On the eastern front, General Gu Jiantang took the initiative to attack, which was rare. He sent out a main force, defeated the enemy's center, beheaded more than 30,000 people, and almost wiped out the direct line of the main general of Beimang on the eastern front.

On the same day, Yinyao City was captured.

Tuoba Zuolu, who was from the Tuoba clan, led 20,000 cavalry from his clan and 10,000 cavalry from Hongxiang to sweep across Yinyao County.

The Xuanwu Army was destroyed, and the commander and the county magistrate died.

Thirty thousand cavalrymen fought against the Dragon Elephant Army on the border of Youzhou. After a bloody battle that lasted all night, eight thousand were exchanged for eight thousand, and the general Dai of the Dragon Elephant Army was killed in the battle.

The 40,000-strong Left Cavalry, the main field force that besieged the Longyaozhou military town in the north of Youzhou, was forced to abandon the attack and return to defend the border.

The King of the Southern Court successfully evacuated and returned to the Small Capital.

During this period, Yinyao County was lost and eleven counties were destroyed.

The 20,000 Beiliang Left Cavalry and the Beimang Iron Cavalry started a fight in the county, the two sides played hide-and-seek with each other, and the situation was tense.

November 13th.

The Ministry of War reported to the emperor of Zhao and conferred rewards upon him.

The eldest son of General Gu Jiantang was conferred the title of first-class earl and Chief Clerk of the Protectorate of the Two Liaos, a third-rank official.

He was appointed as the guerrilla general stationed in Lanshui County and was promoted to the rank of fourth-rank Zhongwu General. He established the Zhongwu Army and was in charge of the military affairs of Hengshui County.

The former county governor deserted the battlefield, and the Lanshui County Magistrate took over as governor.

General Fenwu Wei Jingtang led the Fenwu Army to station in Yinyao County after the war and was in charge of military and political affairs.

King Guangling was also appointed as the governor of Xiangzhou and took full control of the local war.

Lu Shengxiang, the governor of Jiangnan, came to the court and was appointed as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

……

November 14th.

Jibei, Lanshui County.

Gu Xishu and the old man in white escorted Tuoba Chunsuan back to Liang Liao, accompanied by hundreds of riders.

Before leaving, he left the remaining cavalry behind as agreed.

The number of Blue Water Cavalry reached 5,000, and they were commanded by Zu Kai and Li Huoli.

There were three thousand infantrymen and one thousand personal soldiers, a total of nearly ten thousand.

Late at night, in the northeast corner of the north city.

The deep pit was dug again.

More than nine thousand bodies were buried there.

Jiang Yuan silently absorbed vitality, and the pure power came to the three dragons and three elephants, but his realm still remained at the second level.

"You don't want to die!"

The crow flapped its wings and flew away. In the dark night, the other party was like a fiercely burning furnace with a frighteningly high body temperature.

"If an ordinary Celestial Realm warrior stood still and let me attack him with all my strength, I should be able to kill him with one slap."

"If you didn't have half the physique of a great diamond, you would have been crushed by this kind of divine power long ago. Let's not even think about killing the Celestial Realm, okay?"

Jiang Yuan closed his eyes and sensed that after two battles, the blood evil had covered his right arm, right leg and torso, and only his left arm, left leg and head were left. As long as it was completely covered, he would be able to enter the Vajra Realm and possess a complete Vajra physique. When the time comes, he can cultivate another one, and then it will be the unprecedented "two".

"How long can the Beiliang Left Cavalry hold back Tuoba Zuolu?" "They have been driven to the south of Yinyao County."

"Notify Wei Jingtang that I intend to eat up the Hongxiang cavalry."

"He also has 20,000 vassal troops and 13,000 cavalry. You have seen the combat effectiveness of Hong Xiangyang's cavalry. They are elite troops, not bandits."

"Once the Northern Mang cavalry from Yinyao County withdraws, he should leave. After paying such a high price, it's hard to say how the King of the Southern Court will compensate him. It's better to let him die in your pocket. How much is the head of a Northern Mang general worth?"

"We already have a king of a different surname, and Jizhou is between Northern Liang and the Liao Dynasty, so the title of Marquis is a foregone conclusion."

Jiang Yuan nodded. It was worth risking his family fortune, and he could also take advantage of the opportunity to get promoted.

The foul odor from nine thousand corpses was enough for him to produce two thousand quick-made products.

"Let's call them the Impurity Extermination Army."

Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes and deduced, "I will lead the cavalry to the north. After the Hongxiang army stops besieging the city, you will immediately bring all the disciples you can call to Lanshui County. In addition, give me your Zhixuan secret technique, and then pay some price at the right time. Afterwards, there is a 70% chance that you will be promoted to the Tianxiang realm."

Crow pondered for a moment and asked, "How do you give me the secret technique? I have never heard of such a method of robbery."

"I'll roast this one and eat it, and you can send me another one."

Old Man Pei: “…”

You must be a member of the evil cult.

……

On the second day, two thousand out of the five thousand cavalrymen received the training.

In the battle a few days ago, two elite troops fought against each other, and the victor seized a large number of horses and equipment. Gu Xishu did not even mention it. He had a large family and a big business, so he did not care about these things, and it was difficult for them to take them away. However, it made the armor rate of the remaining cavalry troops soar.

Five thousand cavalrymen left the city and headed straight for the Bashibao defense line.

Led by Li Huoli, the eldest son of the Li family of Yanbao, since joining the army, this proud child of heaven has fought several battles and has already stepped onto the fourth-grade ladder. According to the progress, he is getting closer to the second-grade junior grandmaster five years later in the original world line.

After marching for a day and a night, the five thousand cavalry launched an attack on the five thousand Beimang infantry and cavalry outside the fort at dawn.

After vaguely seeing someone's figure, the chief officer chose to retreat immediately. A rare sharpshooter appeared in Jibei, and this matter showed signs of spreading on a large scale.

One arrow cuts through the battlefield. Looking at its power, it seems that it is going to make up for the decline of archery in the world of martial arts throughout history.

Nine arrows were shot in one breath, and this time they were not ordinary arrows, but dazzling thunder.

Because the Qi was fully functioning, the power was far greater than the cavalry charge in the previous few days.

Nine lightning bolts exploded in the battlefield, causing more than three hundred casualties, followed by the roaring cavalry.

The newly promoted General Zhongwu wielded the thunder spear, and often could take away more than a dozen lives with one sweep.

The lightning was like sword shadows, and the swords kept being passed around until they pierced through the entire battle formation.

With the final blow, the lightning spear flew out of his hand, instantly killing the commander who had not yet escaped far.

The cavalrymen were cleaning up the battlefield in an orderly manner with armor, horses, silver, and other military equipment. The enemy this time was not elite, and was probably a bait left by Hong Xiangyang to lure the private soldiers of Bashibao out of the city. As long as they could hold on for half a day, the cavalrymen outside Hengshui City would arrive.

"Brother Jiang, look, that's my home."

Li Huoli pointed at the huge and imposing fortress in the distance and spoke with a silly smile on his face, as if he was holding some interesting toy and introducing it to his friends, with a little bit of show-off at the same time.

"Not bad." Jiang Yuan commented.

"Really? I didn't feel that way. I guess I'm just used to it, hahaha."

"I recruited you just for today."

"what?"

Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties led a team of private soldiers to go out to greet them.

"Lord Li, the Zhongwu Army is ready to assist in the defense of Bashibao. Show some sincerity. Your son will be the commander of the Zhongwu Army's infantry in the future." Jiang Yuan said while riding on horseback.

Lord Li was still in deep thought. Guo Si, who was holding several water conservancy books in the cavalry team, was shaking with fear. He saw an arrow flying over his head with his own eyes. If someone had not put a knife to his neck, he would never leave Lanshui County.
