After nightfall, there was no light in the starry night, and the entire Xishan Province was shrouded in darkness.
In Huoxi County, a group of crows remained silent on the dead branches, flying up at every turn.
Heavy troops were hidden in the northeast and west directions of Huoxi County.
Yang Shang mobilized 300,000 elite soldiers to ambush here.
But after a long while, what was waiting was only the distant shouts of Zhang Wei's troops, but not a single person was seen entering the Huoxi County granary.
Not long after, beams of light fell from the sky, which were the fire starters dropped by Yiren.
Grain silos caught fire one after another.
Because they were piled up in a hurry, most of the haystacks in the granary were connected together.
A fire started and spread quickly.
Under the tree, Yang Shang's face was extremely ugly when the distant firelight illuminated him.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, saying: "Why were their air troops not attacked by the sharp blades in the wind?"
Xun Xi frowned: "I don't know, maybe the sharp blade in the wind is controlled by Feng Jixing."
"Immediately, put out the fire, send cavalry to outflank the enemy from the rear, and kill the enemy five miles away."
"yes" At the same time, a fire broke out in the camp on the banks of the Lu River.
In the light of the fire, the silhouettes of the Forbidden Army cavalry flew past.
Feng Jixing put on a white robe and personally led the people to attack the camp.
No one could stop him wherever he passed. , 30,000 iron cavalry killed everyone they encountered, broke through three camps in a row, and killed countless enemies.
Feng Jixing's two knives were already dripping with blood.
In just one hour, 30,000 cavalry rushed to pieces the 100,000 troops by the river.
The Forbidden Army's cavalry came like lightning, catching the opponent off guard.
Originally, the merchant army had a dragon knight scout, but the dragon knight was killed by the wind.
If most of it fell, how could it dare to rise to the sky, leading to tonight's disastrous defeat?
Feng Jixing looked at the sky and saw that an hour had passed.
He raised his eyebrows, raised the bloody Red Phoenix Sword, and shouted: "Retreat one by one, with the third battalion at the head, the second battalion in the middle, and the third battalion at the rear.
Immediately Withdraw to Xiping City at full speed" "yes" The drums rumbled, and the 30,000 cavalry did not suffer much damage.
They quickly disappeared into the night like the wind, leaving behind a messy merchant camp with wailing ghosts and howling ghosts.
At dawn, smoke filled the Huoxi County grain and grass camp.
The fire was finally put out, but a large amount of grain and grass was obviously lost.
In the large tent of the Chinese army, Yang Shang, who had received the military intelligence battle report, trembled all over, and he breathed a sigh of relief, almost unable to continue.
He slammed the table with a livid face and shouted: "Why is it like this?
There are nearly two of us in Luhe."
Why were 100,000 infantrymen defeated so easily?"
The commander with his helmet full of blood knelt on the ground, trembling all over, and said: "They came too fast, and they were all well-equipped cavalry.
We didn't even get any news.
All the sentry cavalry were killed until we Only when we heard the sound of horse hooves did we know that the enemy was attacking the camp, but it was too late.
Three camps were breached in succession, with more than 60,000 casualties."
"A bunch of rubbish" Yang Shang was furious.
Xun Xi looked at the commander and said, "You are too lax on your guard.
Why don't you go down quickly?
What are you doing here?
Are you waiting for His Majesty to chop off your head?"
"Yes, I will retire at the end" He left in a hurry.
"How could it be like this?
How could it be such a result?"
Yang Shang's face was a little confused and he said: "We are using Huoxi County as bait and an army of 300,000 as a hook, but why did Feng Jixing go to kill 20 people?"

The infantrymen of Wanlu River are used as bait.
Is there such a fish in the world that bites the hook?"
Xun Xi said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Marshal Chen Yu's plan has been seen through by Feng Jixing.
That's why Feng Jixing took advantage of our unpreparedness to attack boldly and kill countless of our troops on the Luhe River."
"Chen Yu, what do you say?"
Yang Shang suddenly slapped the table with murderous intent.
Chen Yu sat there dejectedly and murmured: "This defeat is all my fault.
It was my subordinate who underestimated Feng Jixing's strategy.
Please forgive me.
Chen Yu is willing to accept any punishment."
"Come here, take off the rank of Marshal Chen Yu and demote him to General of Chariots and Cavalry.
I will personally take over the position of Marshal for the time being.
Xun Xi is the military advisor and immediately plans to destroy Xiping City."
"yes" Chen Yu knelt there quietly, instantly downgraded two levels, but instead of getting angry, he smiled.
"Why are you laughing?"
Yang Shang said coldly.
Chen Yu laughed at himself and said: "The last general is neither Lin Muyu nor Feng Jixing.
He deserves this end.
Your Majesty is wise."
"snort" Yang Shang glanced at the crowd and said: "Let's discuss what to do next.
Our supply of food and grass is already insufficient, and Feng Jixing is now gaining momentum.
I'm afraid we won't be able to capture Xiping City in a short time."
Xun Xi said: "Marshal, there is not much food and grass in Xiping City.
Even if Sikong Yao has hoarded some food and grass, the food in Xiping City has always been supplied by the surrounding farms and counties.
Almost every day, convoys transport food into Xiping. city, but now, after we besieged the city, the Chamber of Commerce and the convoy The supplies have been cut off.
The food rations for the nearly two million people in Xiping City are not a small number.
As long as we surround Xiping City, I am sure that they will collapse without an attack.
Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu and other generals from the Broken Cauldron Realm will Claiming to be benevolent and righteous, they are unwilling to eat people, so they will not be able to sustain it for long. " "Okay, immediately send orders to the surrounding states and counties to prepare food and grass.
We can hold it, but Feng Jixing cannot."
"yes" Yang Shang's eyes turned cold and he looked at Chen Yu and said: "General Chen Yu, your hometown Laohan City has always been famous for its abundant grain and rice.
Since the former army no longer needs you, why don't you lead the army?"
Five hundred riders will return to Laohan City and prepare food and fodder for me, how about?"
A group of generals around were shocked.
Yang Shang was trying to make Yang Shang become a grain officer.
It was too humiliating.
"marshal" Wei Qiyang, the deputy commander of Tianjue Corps, looked very ugly and called Chen Yu in a low voice.
Chen Yu pretended not to hear, and just lowered his head and kowtowed: "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty.
The general will definitely prepare the food and fodder as soon as possible and send it to the front line in a steady stream."
"Okay, go ahead and hand over the military talisman of the Tianjue Corps to Wei Qiyang.
The regiment will be under the control of Wei Qiyang for the time being."
"yes" At noon, Chen Yu's tent was ready and he was ready to set off.
"Wow" The tent door suddenly opened, and two generals walked in with their hands on the hilts of their swords.
One of them was Wei Qiyang, the temporary commander of the Tianjue Corps, and the other lowered his head, unable to see his face clearly.
"Lift your face."
Chen Yu said calmly.

The man raised his head, and Chen Yu was shocked: "Zhou Binlong" It was Zhou Binlong who was guarding Laohan City and commanded a general of 200,000 Earth Jue Corps.
"It's the last general."
Zhou Binlong and Wei Qiyang both knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, we are all former members of the Tianjue Empire.
Now that Your Majesty is being humiliated, both General Wei and General Wei can't stand it anymore.
As long as Your Majesty gives the order, we are willing to Lead your troops to retake the entire Tianjue Empire and restore the rule of our Tianjue Empire.”
"You are crazy," Chen Yu said lightly.
Wei Qiyang shook his head and said: "We are not crazy.
Your Majesty, you can think about it.
At that time, at that time, Yang Shang had an army of 60,000 gods.
We should not be able to resist it.
But now, Yang Shang's troops are all mortals.
But we have an army of 400,000 people, plus the garrison troops from the major provinces of the Tianjue Empire, which is enough There are nearly a million people, why should we stoop to a villain like Yang Shang?
The general will also see today's situation.
Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists.
Yang Shang will be angry with your majesty just because of a defeat.
This kind of person simply cannot They are not worthy of His Majesty's loyalty.
As long as His Majesty says a word, I will be willing to shed blood even if I die."
"Everyone, get up, be careful the walls have ears."
Chen Yu's eyes were indifferent and he said: "This matter needs to be considered in the long run.
Wei Qiyang, you have to find the opportunity to take the 200,000 elites of Tianjue Corps back to the country.
When I go, dragons will enter the sea and birds will fly."
Guilin, I’m afraid I’ll never come back.”
"Your Majesty, don't worry."
Wei Qiyang's eyes were glaring, and he said: "I have just received the news that Lin Muyu has sent Qianfeng as the main general, Chen Xiaoli, Qin Yan, Tang Zhen and others as generals, leading an army of 200,000 on the way to aid Xiping City.
Within three days Must come , once these 200,000 troops arrive, Feng Jixing will be able to cooperate with the reactionary counterattack from inside and outside.
By then, I am afraid that the merchant army will be in chaos without fighting.
I will look for opportunities, pretend to be defeated, and retreat eastward with my troops back. , return home.”
"good" Chen Yu said: "Zhou Binlong, immediately dispatch heavy troops to guard the pass outside the No Return Forest, blockade the entire Tianjue Empire, and issue my imperial edict.
When Wei Qiyang leads the Tianjue Corps to return, it will be the day when our Tianjue Empire will be restored."
"yes" Phoenix Mountain, at the junction of the Mountain Province and the Red Rock Province, got its name because a phoenix once appeared, but those are all ancient legends.
As for whether there is a phoenix, no one can tell.
Fenghuang Mountain stretches for hundreds of miles and has become a natural barrier between the two provinces.
There is a fortress called Fenghuang Pass built at the fault in the mountain.
It is a huge fortress that can accommodate 100,000 people.
Just as it happened, He Song sent a general Lin Shuang led 100,000 wolf soldiers to garrison in Fenghuang Pass.
To the west of the mountain range, the 200,000 elite troops commanded by Lin Muyu have already set up camp.
With their flags fluttering, they have formed a large area with an astonishing momentum.
However, they cannot attack Phoenix Mountain in a short time, and the defenders of Phoenix Mountain do not dare to act rashly.
If they are fighting in the forest, If so, I'm afraid that the Gentian Battalion can eat these 100,000 wolf soldiers in just one day.
In the afternoon, the breeze was blowing.
On the mountain range, Lin Muyu took Wei Qiu, Sikong Yao, Situ Sen and others to survey the terrain.
From a distance, Fenghuang Pass was like a giant entrenched in the valley.
The height of the city was at least twenty Five meters, very scary, and the city walls are all made of hard rock quarried on the spot, so one can imagine how strong it is.
"How many magic crystal shells do we have?"
Lin Muyu asked.

"Two hundred and twenty."
Wei Qiu said.
"Do you think more than two hundred magic crystal cannons can destroy this Phoenix Pass?"
he asked.
"It's a bit difficult."
Sikong Yao shook his head and said: "Brother, look, the outer wall of Phoenix Pass has three floors.
Our magic crystal cannon can blast through two floors at most, which is considered good.
Moreover, the wolf soldiers are well-trained, good at cavalry shooting and cavalry assault, and their combat effectiveness is very high."
Much stronger than Long Xi’s Black Rock Army.”
"yes" Lin Muyu looked into the distance.
In the open area outside the pass, densely packed wolf soldiers were training.
Horse hooves roared and dust rose into the sky.
This time the opponent was indeed very difficult
