Seeing that Chuanzhen allied army had given up attacking the city, the whole army retreated to the rescue camp. Zuo Shuang did not dare to delay, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat and return to Gaochuan county.

How could the angry Chuanzhen allied army let them leave? The two armies' troops then hid and killed them.

However, the western border army did not go deep into the enemy camp and retreated quickly. Under the command of Zuo Shuang, the rear team of the whole army changed to the front team and retreated orderly.

The horses of the Chuanzhen allied army were the first to chase out of the camp. They thought they could use the impact of cavalry to disperse the wind army. As a result, they were shot head-on by the west border army.

Bows and arrows were originally a sharp weapon to restrain cavalry. In addition, the western border army was good at archery, and they retreated on their own initiative, not defeated. They released the arrow array in a very short time, which made the Chuanzhen cavalry who came after them suffer a lot. Thousands of cavalry rushed in front and were nailed into hedgehogs by the dense arrow array.

Chuanzhen cavalry were shocked. Under the dense and fierce arrow array, they dared not rush hard. They turned their horses and withdrew to the camp.

The enemy cavalry retreated, the western border army was no longer under pressure, and the army quickly and orderly returned to Gaochuan county.

The western border army came and went quickly, and did not have a direct confrontation with the main force of the Chuanzhen coalition army, but their role was very critical. They directly solved the danger of Jinyang and made the Chuanzhen coalition army return in vain again in the inevitable siege.

After two consecutive days of fierce attacks by the Chuanzhen coalition, the new army stationed in Jinyang suffered heavy casualties, from nearly 100000 troops to more than 30000. Of course, the deaths and injuries of the Chuanzhen coalition were much greater than those of the new army, but the strength of the Chuanzhen coalition was much more than that of the new army. Even if the number of casualties exceeded 100000, it did not affect the combat effectiveness of the whole army.

When the battle of defending the city became like this, even Qiu Zhen began to lack confidence. Privately, he persuaded Tang Yin to give up Jinyang, go north to join the directly subordinate army, recapture Ningding, and compete with the enemy. Tang Yin also wants to withdraw. When the war reaches this level, he doesn't want to fight again. However, the risk of withdrawal is too great at this time.

At present, tens of thousands of Zhen troops are stationed in ningdingli. If the attack is smooth and can be carried out in one go, it's good to say that in case the attack is blocked, the main force of the Sichuan Zhen coalition army will come up again. If their own army wants to run, there is no place to run, and the whole army is in danger of being destroyed. At present, Tang Yin can only bite his teeth and stand firm in Jinyang. Even if he withdraws, he can't retreat from Jinyang until the direct army and the local army have joined hands to fight Ningding and his side has a real retreat.

Tang Yin didn't accept Qiu Zhen's opinion and decided to continue to defend in Jinyang. The only thing that reassured him was the western border army's containment of the enemy. Tang Yin has sent orders to the Sanshui army and the western border army to join hands to block the threatening Huan army. The Sanshui army acted in accordance with Tang Yin's orders, but the western border army stayed in Gaochuan county.

Zuo Shuang didn't have the courage to disobey Tang Yin's order. Liang Qi meant that the west border army didn't go with the Sanshui army to meet the enemy.

Liang Qi seems peaceful. In fact, he is very arrogant. Few people can make him look good. As the commander-in-chief of Sanshui army, he fought with Ning army too many times. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of Ning army is very poor. If he cooperates with it, Ning people will not only fail to cooperate with him, but also drag down his own side, and the gains outweigh the losses. Second, and most importantly, Liang Qi hated Huan Jun to the bone. When he defeated the Huan army, he did not kill the soldiers and generals, but also let them all go. However, the Huan state not only didn't mean to be grateful, but sent another 400000 troops to come, which filled Liang Qi's heart with resentment. His bad breath was held in his chest. He didn't want to use the hand of others to make up his mind that he would defeat the Huan army again with the strength of the three water armies and one army, Kill them all.

Liang Qiben is a calm and deep man, but this time he is a little impulsive.

Zuo Shuang stayed in Gaochuan county according to Liang Qi's intention, but solved the danger of Jinyang.

In the next few days, as soon as the Chuanzhen coalition army attacked the city, the western border army who heard the news would rush from Gaochuan county to attack the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition army. Zuo Shuang is very good at using troops and is very cautious. Every time he attacks the enemy camp, he will not go deep rashly. He only shoots arrows and sets fire on the edge of the enemy camp. Once he sees the main force of the enemy returning to the camp, he immediately leads the army to withdraw to Gaochuan county.

His tactics are like a piece of gum. He sticks you tightly. No matter how hard you try, you can't remove it. The Chuanzhen allied army was annoyed by the harassment tactics of the western border army, but the latter was too cunning to seize the opportunity to fight it head-on. The Chuanzhen allied army attacked the city several times and ended up returning to the camp to save itself.

At this time, Fang, who was re elected, had a headache for this wind army. He sent someone to investigate carefully to know that this wind army was not a wind army in the real sense. Its predecessor was the central army of Ningguo, and its commander was a Ning general named Zuo Shuang. Ren Fang is very clever and keenly aware that there may be opportunities to take advantage of it.

He sent a eloquent adviser of the state of Sichuan to Gaochuan county to persuade Zuo Shuang to take refuge in the state of Sichuan and fight against the wind together. After all, Ningguo was destroyed by the state of wind, and Ningren and Fengren should be sworn enemies. After entering Gaochuan County, the Sichuan counselor successfully found the residence of the western border army, and also successfully met Zuo Shuang.

In front of Zuo Shuangshuang, the counselor was eloquent. He danced and danced, presented the facts, reasoned, moved with emotion, told with reason, and tried to convince Zuo Shuang with all his skills. Zuo Shuang didn't interrupt him. He listened silently and didn't say a word. It was not easy for Zuo Shuang to wait until the general principle of Sichuan counselor came to an end. Zuo Shuang asked with a smile, "is that what you want to say?"

The counsellor of the state of Sichuan nodded his head and said, "since general Zuo Shuang is so good at using troops, he must be a hero among people. We can see that the general trend of the wind country is gone, and it is the right way to get out as soon as possible. If we stick to the wind country again, general Zuo Shuang and many generals under his command will probably die without a place to bury!"

His words were half persuasion and half threat.

Zuo Shuang nodded, glanced over the counselor, looked out of the tent and shouted, "come on! Pull out this detailed work of Sichuan country, which deceives the public and disturbs our military heart, and behead it in public!"

His words scared the counselor of the state of Sichuan silly on the spot. He was an envoy of the army. Even if Zuo Shuang didn't listen to his persuasion, he couldn't kill himself! Before he could make an explanation, the bodyguards outside rushed in, dragged him out of the tent and cut off his head with a knife.

Zuo Shuangren put the head of the counselor of the state of Sichuan into a box and sent it back to the camp of the Chuanzhen coalition army to show his determination.

The envoy he sent was killed and only returned a bloody severed head, which was undoubtedly a great humiliation for Ren Fang. He immediately sent deputy commander Jin Zhuo to command 200000 Chuanzhen allied forces to go to Gaochuan county to attack the Western army. Before sending troops, Ren Fang gave Jinzhuo a death order. At any cost, he had to wipe out the enemy.

Jinzhuo took the order and went with 200000 troops. With great momentum, he went south into Gaochuan county and wanted to fight to the death with the army in the West.

The Western army commanded by Zuo Shuang is more cunning than the fox. When he heard that the brigade of Chuanzhen allied army was coming to his own side, he took the whole army to abandon the camp and fled into the hinterland of Gaochuan County overnight to entangle the enemy with circuitous tactics.

The siege of the city in recent days has caused great casualties to the Chuanzhen coalition army. Now it has sent 200000 troops, which greatly reduces the number of troops available to attack the city. Now, although the western border army is scared away, the Chuanzhen coalition army can no longer organize a strong siege.

In the next few days, the two sides gradually changed from fierce battle to bitter battle. Ren Fang knows very well that his side is difficult, and the wind army in Jinyang is more difficult. At this time, he must not relax, let alone stop attacking the city. Even if he is hard headed, he must stick to it and give the wind army in Jinyang no chance to breathe.

The Fengjun side is also struggling to support. The enemy's forces attacking the city are less and less, and the number of combat troops of the Fengjun army is reduced more seriously. If Tang Yin hadn't stayed in the city and fought side by side with the soldiers to jointly resist the enemy, the fighting spirit of the Fengjun army would have collapsed.

The two sides are on the line and have to fight for survival. At this time, the battle of Jinyang has reached an impasse. It is difficult for Chuan Zhen allied forces to break Jinyang, and Jinyang has no ability to retreat from the enemy. Although the fighting between the two armies continued, the intensity was different from that of the first two days of the siege.

On the other side, the directly subordinate army leaving Jinyang and the third route local army appeared in the four directions of southeast and northwest in Ningding. There are 100000 directly under the army and 70000 people in the third route, with a total of nearly 200000 troops.

Many wind troops suddenly appeared outside Ningding city. Most of them were expected by Xiao Chong, the leader of Zhenjun. He even wondered whether the wind army had abandoned Jinyang and rushed to Ningding.

He hastily ordered that the city be closed, and all the officers and men of the whole army go up to the wall to resist the attack of the wind army.

After arriving in Ningding, the leaders of the directly subordinate army and the local army gathered together to discuss the strategy against the enemy.

Wu Ying, as the commander of the army directly under her command, is naturally the leader of the third route local army.

According to Wu Ying's meaning, your side should attack the city with all its strength, break through the Zhenjun defense line and break into the city at one go.

Before the chief General of the third route local army made a statement, Fan Shan began to shake his head and said repeatedly, "it's wrong! It's wrong for the whole army to make a strong attack!"

Wu Ying frowned, squinted at Fan Shan and asked, "what's wrong with general fan?"

Fan Shan said, "we don't know the enemy's reality yet. How can we attack with all our strength as soon as the war starts? We should first let the county army brothers take the lead, first try the enemy's strength, and then it's not too late for our direct army to participate in the war!"

What he meant was to take the third route local army as a road stone. The three county army generals were quite unhappy when they heard this, but from the overall situation, Fan Shan's words are indeed reasonable. After all, the directly subordinate army is the main force and expensive as the central army. It is one of the pillars of the resistance to the Sichuan Zhenjiang coalition army and can't afford to lose.

Wu Ying thought carefully and thought that Fan Shan's idea was good. Then she nodded and looked around the three county generals and asked, "what do the three generals mean?"
