The spring water in the south of Chiping City flows continuously, with sparkling waves and a shape like a scroll. It flows straight south to the big river, and further down the river is the boundary of the plain.

At noon when Cui Suchen saw Cao Shancheng and easily provoked him but rarely felt anything from his heart, tens of thousands of troops in the plain began to leave the Banxian camp in a mighty manner, crossed the Mamian River, and marched westward.

Come.

Due to the large number of troops that were launched at one time, there were a total of 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers, plus baggage, craftsmen, and auxiliary troops stationed in the fields. It was impossible to calculate the number. The momentum was astonishing.

In addition, the army has always had a trivial system, with many rules for dividing camps and routes, so only large armies of soldiers marched on the official roads, so that the roads were paved, and auxiliary soldiers were forced to follow them from the fields and trails.

It is said that all the people in the world were born in Longmu. When the army was fighting the first life-and-death battle at the foot of the Calendar Mountain, they and the hostile Qilu officers and soldiers agreed that they would rather walk in the swamp than avoid the flooded fields. Today, spring

The seedlings are blooming and the fields are clear in all directions. Naturally, we are more careful and line up on the long path.

Viewed from a distance, it looks like the confluence of hundreds of rivers heading westward, unstoppable, and also like the arrangement of longitude and latitude, dividing the four fields like a chessboard.

Just as Bai Sanniang said, Zhang Xing is confident on the surface, but in fact he is extremely unconfident in his heart. He has always felt that he is a rebel who is chasing a duck, and his gang is a ragtag group. But today, he is riding a yellow gelding, and he is a little bit unconfident.

Standing on a gentle slope next to Douzigang, looking at this scene from a distance, I saw that the greenery in my eyes complemented the ranks of the armies. Even though I had always been guilty, it was rare for me to feel majestic.

Then he looked back at the people around him and said:

"Everyone, who can seize this land and support this army to advance westward? If we give you another three to five years to repair the system internally, enter Hebei from outside, consolidate the eastern territory, and then integrate the old land of Qi in the east, why?

Can’t we have a showdown with Guan Long?!”

The people around him had already seen the same thing, but few of them tried to cater to him.

In fact, in the evening of that day, the eight battalions that started on the western front, led by Xiong Bonan, Wang Shuyong, and Xu Shiren, had already headed straight to Gaotang City and set up camp on the spot.

Xue Wanbi knew that the critical situation was coming. As early as when he found out about the advance, he had already sent a series of rescue messages to his back, asking Cao Shancheng to come to the rescue. He asked Cao Shancheng to ask Qu Tuda, Wuyang, Wu'an, and Wei County troops to come to the rescue. Cao Shancheng did not

Dare to neglect, rush directly from Chiping to the preset location, which is Boping County directly behind Gaotang in the defense line of Zhangnan-Licheng-Gaotang-Chiping, and then fly in all directions here, demanding

The counties came to the rescue.

One day later, of course, before the replies from the counties arrived, the red flag with the word "Deposed" had already arrived at the foot of Gaotang City.

The houses and trees outside the city had long been cleared away, and Zhang Dalongtou was not polite. He only accepted the young seedlings with a pity mentality, and asked the troops to camp around the city, completely surrounding Gaotang City.

The next day, the water in the moat was cut off easily.

At this time, Cao Shancheng finally got good news - both Wei County and Ji County would definitely send some reinforcements. It is conceivable that under the political pressure of these two counties, Wu'an, Wuyang, and Xiangguo

They also have to hold their noses to help.

There is a relatively complete defense line in front, and there is a strong point in the defense line, Gaotang, led by Xue Wanbi. If we can gather reinforcements, although we dare not say victory, the army will definitely be short of food. As long as we hold on for a few days and force the opponent to retreat, we can

This is the result of victory.
