The battle was in chaos, and the enemy was in chaos.

In Yuquan City, Wu Guan, who received Chen Qing's urgent report, did not dare to delay at all. He immediately called Liang Chao, the commander of the army, and called up 20,000 soldiers and horses, bringing enough siege equipment, and set out overnight to attack Anshan City.

Outside Daqu County, the atmosphere was very subtle at this time. Chen Qing ordered his army to cut down nearby trees and made a large number of chevaux de frise overnight to prevent the opponent's heavy cavalry from charging. At the same time, he continuously sent small groups of soldiers to harass Li Siye's army.

The purpose was to make Li Siye's Qin army exhausted and unable to take the initiative to attack.

After a few days, Liang Chao finally arrived outside Anshan City with 20,000 troops, but he was very cautious and did not attack the city immediately. Instead, he set up camp outside the city and waited for news from Chen Qing.

Chen Qing had already explained in his letter to Governor Wu Guan that the army should not attack the city immediately after arriving outside Anshan City, and wait until Li Siye's army had the momentum to send troops back to Anshan, and then take down Anshan City in one go.

Outside Daqu County, in the Qin army camp, Li Siye received a letter from Jia Xu. After reading the letter, Li Siye smiled knowingly and told Li Jilong: "General Li, please leave immediately and lead the Jingsai Army to rescue Anshan City. Mozhou has raised another 20,000 troops, led by Liang Chao, the commander of the army, and rushed to Anshan City."

Li Jilong frowned slightly. As a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty, his overall view of the battlefield was not inferior to Li Siye. Knowing that the Qin army's return to Daqu would surely lead Mozhou to raise troops again to attack Anshan, why did the leader and the military advisor still insist on returning to rescue? I'm afraid there are details that I don't know.

"I will take the order and leave immediately to lead the troops to rescue Anshan!"

Half an hour later, Li Jilong led the Jingsai Army to Anshan City.

The movement of the Qin army camp naturally reached Chen Qing's ears. Chen Qing's eyes lit up and he immediately ordered: "Pass my order, the whole army will attack and fight the Qin army. We must hold them back and prevent them from returning to Anshan for support!"

An unexpected war broke out again. Leng Yuntao took the lead and led 30,000 cavalry and infantry to attack the Qin army camp. He was in high spirits and had the momentum to swallow the Qin army in one breath.

Compared with the aggressive Mozhou army, the Qin army was obviously not well prepared and rushed to fight. In addition, the number of people was at a disadvantage, and they were at a disadvantage for a while. Under necessity, the Jingsai army hurried back to support, which stabilized the situation.

Of course, it is unknown how much water there is in the Qin army's disadvantage this time.

Obviously, neither side treated this battle as a decisive battle. There was much thunder but little rain. The battle lasted less than an hour. After seeing the Jingsai army return to help, Leng Yuntao led his troops to call off the battle. Both sides stopped fighting.

After returning to the tent, Leng Yuntao told Chen Qing the news that the Jingsai army was forced to return to help.

Chen Qing was overjoyed and hurriedly sent a letter to Liang Chao's troops to attack Anshan City with all their strength.

Outside Anshan City, Liang Chao, who received the news from Chen Qing, immediately led his 20,000 troops and approached the Anshan city wall.

On the Anshan city wall, Jia Xu, Li Yichen, Lin Chong and others stood on the city wall, looking at the dark and dense Mozhou army, and talked with a relaxed look.

"Coach Lin, you must resist with all your strength and make the enemy think that our army has run out of tricks. After holding on for an hour, we can retreat into the city as planned."

"I obey your order!"

Li Yichen changed the subject and looked at Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, are you ready for the great gift for the 20,000 Mozhou soldiers?"

Jia Xu said calmly, "My lord, please rest assured that the 20,000 Mozhou soldiers will not be able to escape once they enter the city!"

On the city wall, dozens of captured crossbow carts were controlled by the volunteers, continuously shooting giant crossbow arrows towards the Mozhou army camp. Under every three giant crossbow arrows, there were more than a dozen dead souls of the Mozhou army.

In the Mozhou army camp, thousands of soldiers slowly pushed out more than 20 huge catapults, and huge stones were constantly ejected and hit the city wall. From time to time, huge stones fell into the crowd, smashing the volunteers who could not dodge into meat paste, and their bodies were splattered.

Half an hour later, under the suppression of catapults, the 20,000-man army of Mozhou paid the price of 2,000 casualties and approached the city wall. Ladders were stuck on the city wall, and countless soldiers shouted and killed, rushing towards the top of the city.

At the same time, several siege hammers were pushed by the Mozhou army. The huge wood weighing thousands of pounds on the car kept swinging and hitting the city gate, making a deafening sound.

Li Yichen squinted his eyes and looked at the battle in front of him. The Mozhou army was well prepared.

As time went by

As time went by, a large number of soldiers of the Mozhou Army climbed up the city wall and fought with the Volunteer Army. There were swords and blood everywhere.

At this time, Li Yichen had already retreated with Jia Xu and others. It was Lin Chong who was commanding the battle on the top of the city.

Liang Chao personally climbed up the city wall. As far as he could see, his soldiers had firmly gained the upper hand by relying on their numerical advantage.

Not far away, a general wearing black armor and holding a spear was slaughtering the Mozhou Army wantonly. As the spear flashed, he kept harvesting fresh lives.

Liang Chao shouted: "Thief, look at me, the general is here to take your head!"

Then he rushed towards Lin Chong with a mace weighing dozens of pounds.

Lin Chong was not panicked at all. He first killed the four or five soldiers around him, and then the spear that came later, like lightning, with the sound of breaking through the air, stabbed towards Liang Chao's face.

As the commander of the state's army, Liang Chao, whose position in the army is second only to Leng Yuntao, is also a brave man with the cultivation of the middle stage of the martial arts realm.

Seeing Lin Chong stabbing with a spear, Liang Chao sneered, dodged to the side, clamped Lin Chong's weapon with his arm, and at the same time held the mace in one hand, swept it out with a thousand pounds of force, and smashed it straight at Lin Chong's temple.

Lin Chong didn't bother to draw his weapon, and leaned back to the extreme, narrowly avoiding the attack of the mace, and even felt the strong wind brought by the mace on his nose.

While dodging this attack, while Liang Chao was unable to retract his strength, Lin Chong jumped high with agility, pounced on Liang Chao like a wild goose, and hit Liang Chao on the shoulder with a palm.

The seemingly light palm strike made Liang Chao, who was wearing armor, feel a strong shock force. He could not help but feel a numbness in his left shoulder and took a half step back. At the same time, the snake spear under his armpit fell to the ground. Lin Chong picked up the snake spear with his foot, turned around gracefully, and pointed the spear directly at Liang Chao's throat.

There was only a sound of metal clashing, and the two fought again.

In an instant, the two people who were fighting against each other had been fighting for thirty or forty rounds, but neither of them could do anything to the other. Liang Chao was shocked. The other party was only in the early stage of the Wuzong realm, but he could cross the level and fight him to a draw, and he looked less than thirty years old. How could such a genius degenerate and join the rebel army?

Seeing that the number of Mozhou troops on the city wall was increasing, and the number of volunteers was decreasing, Lin Chong took a step back and shouted loudly: "Brothers! We can't hold the city wall anymore! Retreat!"

At the same time, a loud cracking sound came from the city gate below. After a long period of continuous impact by the siege hammer, the top gate bar, which was as thick as an adult's head, broke, and countless Mozhou soldiers took advantage of the situation to rush into the city.
