Everyone in Shifeng City discussed that the rebel army was a lonely force in the dynasty, and it had just occupied Yanbei for a few months.
Although the people of Yanbei supported the rebel army, after all, the rebel army did not have a foundation.
If they just clung to Shifeng City, once people's hearts dispersed, the Yanbei rebel army would It will definitely fail.
Therefore, everyone decided to attack the Iron-Blooded Army, and if the battle failed, they would try to hold on.
The 20,000 men led by Wei Zeng, after receiving the news of Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei's victory, occupied a high and low position in front and set up camp.
This highland is located on the only way from Anyun to Shifeng City, and it is so large that it is impossible for the enemy to completely surround it.
The rebels had a great advantage in occupying the high ground.
If they are defeated, leaving a small number of troops can hold them back for a while, and then the large army can retreat to Shifeng City safely.
Wei Zeng ordered people to dig out soil and pile it up to build a village wall.
The soil in Yanbei was soft, so it was not difficult to get the soil.
It was extremely cold in winter, and a wall of frozen soil could be built quickly by pouring water on the soil.
After the wall was built, water was poured continuously on the outside.
Once the cold wind passed, it turned into ice.
Wei Zeng ordered two thousand people to form a stronghold and divided them into nine strongholds to cooperate with each other.
The camps are two hundred meters apart and connected by tunnels.
The three camps are in a triangle shape, forming a stronghold of 6,000 people, and they cooperate with each other in defense.
The stronghold of 6,000 people was also in the shape of a triangle, and a large formation of 20,000 people was formed to defend against the enemy's attack.
On top of the stronghold wall, there are archers and crossbowmen fortification throughout the day, and patrol soldiers are constantly monitoring the enemy's movements.
There are also many pits dug in the camp to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp.
The king's personal guard led 30,000 iron-blooded troops to arrive.
The green and black ghost-faced flags were swaying in the north wind.
The ghost-faced general led the iron-blooded soldiers with blue scarves covering their mouths in formation and prepared to attack.
Thirty thousand iron-blooded troops came with a large number of siege equipment.
Wang Qinwei felt that dealing with such a small village felt like overkill.
"As you can see, the rebels in Yanbei did not defend Shifeng City, but they decided to set up camp here.
We also saved some trouble and eliminated them here.
The whole army obeyed the order and killed the enemies in front of me.
The army will be destroyed," Wang Qinwei ordered immediately.
The ghost-faced generals took orders one after another and led their soldiers to attack the Yanbei rebels.
Wang Qinwei suddenly thought of something and asked the people around him: "Didn't the rebels attack in two groups?
Where is the other group now?"
"None of the scouting horses we sent out these days have returned.
We really don't know the movements of the enemy troops on that road."
One person answered.
"I don't know what the enemy is doing.
Why haven't you told me yet?
If you send people to investigate again, you must find a way to find out the information about the enemy."
Wang Qinwei said angrily.
This person quickly sent out a large team to explore the horses and find out who was going to Sajiali.
Under the command of General Ghost Face, the catapults and crossbows were all loaded and launched towards the rebel camp.
The crossbowmen also fired arrows to cover the infantry attack.
The infantry formed a military formation, carrying steel shields and wooden ladders to attack the camp.
The rebels outside the camp wall never stopped splashing water, and a thick layer of ice formed over the course of the day.
Under the attack of stones and crossbows, a sheet of ice crystals scattered in all directions, which was very beautiful, but the wall did not collapse.
The soldiers in the village crouched on the wall of the village.

When avoiding attacks, they also fired crossbows to block the enemy.
A burst of drumbeats sounded, and the attacks of catapults and ballistae stopped; the crossbowmen raised their missiles high to attack the rebels in the stronghold; the infantry who had already reached the foot of the stronghold screamed for death, and rushed up the high slope with ladders.
The rebels kept pouring water on the wall of the village, and the slope was covered with thick ice, making it very slippery for the infantry to climb, and many soldiers slipped down the slope.
The soldiers on the stronghold are condescending and have great advantages in assassinating with spears and shooting with bows and crossbows.
However, the wall was only three meters high.
The iron-blooded infantry stepped on the pits dug with weapons, walked step by step to the bottom of the wall, erected the ladders, and many people climbed up.
It's not that these 30,000 people don't have siege weapons such as building carts and ladder carts, but Commander Wang believes that there is no need to use those tools to attack such a temporary camp.
If the building truck and ladder truck are damaged, it will be very troublesome to repair.
In fact, it is indeed more convenient to attack such a camp with a ladder.
The flag of the Chinese army's camp was waved, and more iron-blooded infantry rushed forward to support the soldiers who had climbed up the stockade.
When Wei Zeng saw this, he chuckled and ordered the people in the first village to retreat from the tunnel.
The crossbowmen of the Iron-Blooded Army had stopped shooting.
The infantry invaded the village and drove the rebels away after a fierce fight.
Many people cheered for victory on the wall of the village.
"The Yanbei rebels are too vulnerable.
We have won in less than half an hour.
Lao Qian, go check it out and make sure nothing goes wrong."
Wang Qinwei ordered carefully.
Qian Qianwei was ordered to come to the wall of the village.
He looked around and was shocked.
Then he grabbed a cheering soldier and said, "What do you call this village without a gate?
Where have all the rebels gone?"
The surrounding soldiers were startled, and then they split up to search for the "disappeared" rebels.
The iron-blooded infantry descended the wall and searched for the place where the rebels disappeared.
Many people fell into the pit without paying attention.
Sharpened wooden sticks were inserted into the pits, and many iron-blooded infantrymen were killed on the spot.
At this moment, many earthen jars were thrown towards the village from invisible places outside and inside the village wall.
When Qian Guards smelled the smell, he was immediately shocked and jumped off the wall of the village.
Another torch was thrown out, and for a moment the camp turned into a sea of fire.
Many of the iron-blooded infantrymen who had been doused with kerosene burst into flames.
Many others panicked and fell into pits.
The rebel soldiers in the tunnel took the opportunity to cover up and came out, and defeated a thousand iron-blooded troops who invaded the camp.
When the Wang Guard saw the victorious rebel soldiers cheering on the wall, he immediately ordered: "There is indeed a trick.
Order the soldiers to attack from three directions.
The enemy will not be able to take care of both.
After attacking the stockade, first use stones to test downwards, and then find ways to Tear down the wall.
Guard Qian, you and your three thousand elite troops will patrol around the wall after the village is captured and find out the hidden rats."
The Jagged Army took orders one after another and divided into three groups to attack the three current villages.
Qian's guards cooperated with the attacking soldiers to find the rebel tunnels and destroy them, intending to cut off the connection between the rebel camps.
"General Wei, the enemy troops are attacking in three directions.
The three villages in front cannot respond to each other.
What should we do?"
Yu Chaogui asked for orders immediately.
"We don't have gates in the first three villages, just to give the enemy a surprise attack.
Now the enemy is attacking in three ways and their troops are dispersed.

We order the people behind to go to support and use the tunnels in the village to deal with them.
We must survive the first three villages.
One day.
You take me and give you three thousand elite troops to intercept the troops and prevent them from destroying the tunnel.
The others will be protected by my crossbows."
Wei Zeng ordered.
After Yu Chaogui received the order, he immediately led three thousand people who had returned from victory to block Qian's guards.
Although these three thousand people were divided into Feiying Village soldiers, Yanbei farmers and Yushan surrendered bandits, after a big battle, they had long been indistinguishable from each other.
Immediately, Yu Chaogui and Huang Yufei led them to kill them.
These 3,000 people were coordinated by the archers and crossbowmen on the stronghold, and they were not at a disadvantage against the 3,000 iron-blooded troops.
The people led by Qian's guards were defeated and they withdrew.
Stones were thrown one after another and hit the wall.
With a loud bang, the wall collapsed.
The Jagged Army cheered and poured in one after another.
It's a pity that God was not kind to him.
Just after these soldiers completely captured the camp, night fell.
"The whole army retreats and we will fight again tomorrow."
In order to prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the night to surround and kill the soldiers who invaded the stronghold, Wang Qinwei issued the order to retreat.
The rebels took advantage of a night's break to repair the collapsed wall and rearrange the defenses in the village.
The rebels successfully withstood the Iron Blood Army's attack on the first day, but the battle continued.
Just when Wei Zeng led 20,000 rebels to resist the Iron-Blooded Army, a visitor from the Power Sect came to the ancient city where Gu Chayi was located.
"Wei Zeng discussed it with you more than ten days ago, why did it take you so long to come?"
Gu Cha immediately scolded Wan Tianquan when he saw Wan Tianquan arriving late with several warriors in yellow.
"Our sect has people all over the world, and it takes time to gather elite warriors.
We can gather more than 6,000 people in half a month, which is already very fast.
I know that General Gu suffered a defeat, but he can't Take it out on us," a man in yellow said dissatisfied.
"Xiao Lu, watch your words, we are now allies with General Gu."
Wan Tianquan reminded.
"Ahem, it's great that you can come.
I won't say much else.
But why are there only 6,000 instead of the promised 10,000 people?"
Gucha looked embarrassed and asked with a cough.
"Don't look at there are only 6,000 people.
These are the strong men in my sect.
If I want more people, I can immediately recruit hundreds of thousands of people.
But if I want to fight against the Iron-Blooded Army, will it be useful?
Others will be slower after a while.
It's too late, there will definitely be ten thousand by then."
Wan Tianquan was a little displeased when he saw Gu Chayi doubting the combat effectiveness of these people he had brought.
"It is true that we cannot rely on large numbers of people to defeat the Iron Blood Army.
Naturally, the fewer the mob, the better.
According to the previous arrangement, Wei Zeng intercepted them from the front, and Miss Sa attacked their flanks.
We can just take their retreat.
Without further ado, , let’s set off quickly.”
Gu Chayi said immediately.

"Wait a minute, it's no problem to send troops.
But there are some things that need to be discussed first."
Wan Tianquan said, remembering Emperor Li's instructions.
"Why should we talk about defeating the Iron-Blooded Army?"
Gu Chayi said in confusion.
"Your army occupies Yanbei, but our sect does not have a piece of land.
You are a well-fed man and don't know the hungry man.
As long as General Gu promises to give us the land west of the Guanluo River and the northeast of the Guanluo River, there will be no problem at all in sending troops.
"Wan Tianquan said.
"Those places are not occupied by us, so it's useless for you to ask me."
Gu Chayi said in confusion.
"It doesn't matter, we will occupy it ourselves.
As long as your army admits it when the time comes."
Wan Tianquan said with a smile.
"No problem, just take it if you want.
It's none of my business anyway."
Gu Chayi didn't understand why the Power Sect wanted to seek his opinion when they captured the land.
"Brother Gu is quick to speak quickly.
Thinking about the friendship between Brother Gu and Brother Wei, this also represents what Brother Wei means.
But there is no proof for what you say, so it's better to make a written statement."
Wan Tianquan smiled and took the written note prepared in advance. out.
"It's really troublesome.
I'll just sign it.
It's important to defeat the Iron-Blooded Army.
You can't delay it now."
Gucha signed the note and then said impatiently.
At this time, a man in yellow couldn't help laughing.
Wan Tianquan glared at him, and the man immediately did not dare to speak out.
"Haha, of course there is no problem.
We will send troops together with Brother Gu.
Brother Gu is a friend of our sect, and our sect never treats its friends badly."
Wan Tianquan accepted the note and laughed.
The other men in yellow also laughed out loud.
"How can a group of weirdos be so happy to fight?"
Gu Cha said slanderously
