Before dawn, Wei Wensheng summoned the generals of the army to discuss. This military discussion was related to the victory or defeat of this decisive battle and the survival of the Xijing army, so the atmosphere was very solemn.

Mingya, the Minister of War, conducted a detailed analysis of yesterday's battle situation.

Since noon yesterday, the Xijing army was fiercely blocked by the rebels in the direction of Mianchi, and fiercely attacked by the rebels in the direction of Xiaoxin Ancheng. The Xijing army was attacked from both sides and was deeply trapped by the rebels from the east and west. To the south of the army was the turbulent Gushui River, and the mountains in the north became the only way for the soldiers to live.

The attack on the direction of Mianchi was led by General Pang Yu of the Zhige of the Superior Gate and Changsun Wuao of Wuya. The two armies were pseudo-starred as the main army. They took turns to fight under the banner of Zhuying. After bloody battles, they had advanced more than two miles towards Mianchi. During the fierce battle, as the army continued to advance, the resistance encountered was getting greater and greater. By midnight, they had basically stagnated and it was difficult to make progress. It was judged that the rebels had deployed at least 20,000 troops in the direction of Mianchi, and even more.

"It's certain that even if we throw all our troops into the direction of Mianchi and enter the breakthrough battle, at any cost and regardless of losses, it will be difficult for us to break through the rebels' defense line before midnight today." Mingya said in a heavy tone, "In addition, the rebels placed some flammable materials in the valleys and forests on both sides of the avenue. It is obviously the best to launch a fire attack to stop us from breaking through. Therefore, the road is blocked, and we must completely give up the mentality of luck and go up the mountain to evacuate."

"But we have good news, too." Mingya stroked her long beard and said in a relaxed tone, "It has been confirmed through multiple channels that Mianchi is still in our hands, and Mr. Xin K Yuanshou) started a counterattack against the rebels outside the city yesterday afternoon. Although the results were effective, it helped us effectively restrain some of the rebels, which fully demonstrated that Mr. Xin has enough strength to defend the city. Since Mianchi City is still in our hands and can hold on for a while, when we go up the mountain to evacuate, Mianchi City can not only help us restrain the rebels, but also give us enough time to calmly retreat to Shaanxi City."

Once this statement is spoken, morale will be greatly boosted. As long as you have hope of escaping, you will surely boost your morale.

Yesterday, the rebels were blocking the rebels in the direction of Shin-Shin-Ancheng. The two armies fought hand in hand. Faced with the rebels with a tide of offensives, they fought very hard and suffered great losses. Fortunately, Yang Xuangan believed that he was sure to win. As long as he surrounded the troops, the food in the Xijing army was cut off, the victory would be at your fingertips. Therefore, in order to preserve his strength, he had no intention of fighting hard. The thunder sounded loud and the raindrops seemed to be very lively, but in fact he had limited investment.

"Midnight, our scouts found an army of tens of thousands of people quietly crossing the river to Mianchi on both sides of the Gushui River." A hint of excitement came from Mingya's voice, "Yang Xuangan was trapped and made a wrong judgment on the situation of the battle. He thought we were going to break through from Mianchi. In order to ensure the safety of Mianchi's defense line, he dispatched troops to reinforce Mianchi overnight, which led to insufficient troops in the direction of Shinshin Ancheng. According to some estimates, there are about 30,000 rebels in Shinshin Ancheng, of which the number of the main elite, the former Dongdu garrison army, should not exceed 10,000. If Yang Xuangan judged that the battle in Mianchi direction is the most intense today, then the troops he sent to reinforce must be the main force. In this way, our chances of victory will be great. As long as we lure this part of Yang Xuangan's main force into the encirclement and encircle and annihilate it, the overall situation has been decided."

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became warm, and the generals were excited, whispering and talking.

Mingya waited patiently for a while, and saw the voices of discussion gradually fading, then continued, "The army that started to rest at noon yesterday and the army that began to withdraw from the battle before midnight are all the main forces of today's decisive battle."

Wu Ben Lang General Hu Siwanshou, Zhang Jun, Cui Shi and Wu Yalang General Guo Zhen, who had been resting since noon yesterday, as well as Wu Ben Lang General Dou Luxian and Wu Yalang General Changsun Wuao, who had withdrawn from the battle before midnight, stood up together and agreed to the promise.

Mingya looked at the generals who were full of fighting spirit and nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned to look at the general Pang Yu, the general of the garrison gate, and asked, "Have you prepared all the time?"

Pang Yu hurriedly stood up and bowed, "Everything is ready, only the east wind is not needed."

Mingya hurriedly shook her hand and said with a smile, "If God helps us and the west wind will be greatly beneficial to us. Of course, the east wind is not afraid, nor will it hinder our evacuation."

Then he looked at the Wuyalang General Liang Yuanli. Liang Yuanli also hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully, "Please give me advice."

"The decisive battle begins with you." Mingya smiled, "Everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as you open your head and lure Yang Xuangan in, you will remember your first merit."

Liang Yuanli agreed repeatedly.

"All officials must do their best." Wei Wensheng said, "Whether we can break through, whether we can severely damage Yang Xuangan, and whether we can fight in one battle depends on whether we can move forward and fight to the death."

There was a sudden burst of noise in the tent, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

June 30th, early in the morning, outside Xiaoxinan City.

After resting for a night, Yang Xuan, who was energetic, walked into Yang Xuangan's handsome tent and had breakfast with Yang Xuangan.

The atmosphere was very good during the meal. Both brothers were relaxed, talking and laughing. After all, they were sure to win. Yang Jishan rushed to reinforce the country in Mianchi. Even if Li Fengyun intentionally preserved his strength and was unwilling to fight to the death, even if the alliance army was not strong enough, Yang Jishan's more than 10,000 elite troops were enough to strengthen the defense line of Mianchi and to persist until tonight. After midnight today, the Xijing army, which had been fighting for a day, was exhausted and had to drop rapidly. Tomorrow, the consequences of food cuts off will appear. In the chaos of the army, it is only a matter of time before collapse.

"We have wiped out the Xijing army and surrendered tens of thousands of prisoners. Our strength has skyrocketed, and there is no obstacle to moving westward into Guanzhong." Yang Xuanting said with great enthusiasm, "Brother, how can we deal with the white hair at that time? Let it escape?"

Yang Xuangan smiled but said nothing.

Yang Xuanting curled his lips and sneered, "Han Prime Minister fled to Dongdu because of him, causing us to lose tens of thousands of troops in vain. Now of course, he has to use his army to count.

"You should not underestimate this person." Yang Xuangan said lightly, "This person's identity is mysterious and has a huge power behind it. If you can get his help, it will be very beneficial for us to dominate Guanlong."

"It's just an unknown man. Brother is so proud of him." Yang Xuanting said angrily, "He threatened us again and again, blackmailed us, and even deceived us. He has long been unable to bear it. If he still knows his ungratefulness and is shameless this time, then cut off his head and wash away his previous shame."

Yang Xuangan shook his hand, "It's too unkind to be a slutty rabbit, and he's too unfaithful to kill donkeys. It's better to persuade him. With his ability, it's more than enough to be a front-line horse that charges and rushes into battle. This is a small matter, so there's no need to talk about it. Today, one of your brothers is blocking Mianchi and the other is attacking in Xiaoxin Ancheng. You must cooperate with each other. Wei Wensheng threw the main force into the direction of Mianchi. If he was under heavy pressure, he would have an accident if he was not careful. Therefore, you must not relax on your side. Be sure to continue attacking and attack fiercely, and do not give your opponent any chance to breathe."

"Brother, I will be content with my wish to cut off Wei Wensheng's head to pay tribute to the Lord." Yang Xuanting gritted his teeth, "If you don't kill Wei Wensheng, you won't be a human being."

The Mianchi defense line ushered in a climax of offensiveness after dawn, and the Xijing army rushed to the front, with amazing momentum.

At this moment, Li Mi and Yang Jishan were guarding the forefront of Mianchi defense line, and the alliance chief manager Zhen Baoche had led his army to retreat to the city of Mianchi, and met with the general manager Xu Shisan, and joined forces to surround Mianchi. The other two general managers Guo Ming and Xiahou Zhe led the alliance's first, second, fourth and fifth armies to deploy defenses behind Yang Jishan.

At the beginning of the morning, amid the earth-shaking drums and whistles, Yang Xuanting commanded the army to launch a fierce attack on Xiaoxinan City and its two wing battle formations. Yang Xuanting even led the way and took the personal guards to attack the enemy formation in the river valley repeatedly, trying to tear open the enemy's defense line and open a breakthrough.

At about the 19th of Si in the morning, Yang Xuanting's repeated charges finally exerted his power. The enemy formation was broken through by the light cavalry. Faced with the rebels who rushed up like a tide, the soldiers of Xijing were unable to persist, and the battle formation collapsed quickly, and then they scattered and fled.

Yang Xuanting was overjoyed and immediately ordered a chasing and attacking with the head of his head. Taking advantage of the main forces of the Xijing army, they were all concentrated in the direction of Mianchi to attack desperately, and stabbed them hard in the back, so that they could disrupt the enemy's formation and cause chaos. The precarious Xijing army would inevitably collapse in the siege and blockade. So Yang Xuanting made the first contribution. More importantly, he could take this opportunity to seize Wei Wensheng, cut off Wei Wensheng's head, and take revenge.

Yang Xuanting swept away with his personal guards like the wind.

Yang Xuangan's soldiers roared all the way like a flood, running forward along the river valley.

At this time, the Xijing army in Xiaoxinan City saw that the defense line had been destroyed and the situation was over. They should abandon the city and flee. Therefore, Yang Xuanting didn't even look at Xiaoxinan City. The soldiers who followed closely behind also took it for granted that Xiaoxinan City was already in their pocket, and that the "oil and water" were very limited, so they naturally ignored it.

Just as the attacking army led by Yang Xuanting had just crossed Xiaoxin'an City, and the follow-up army commanded by Yang Xuangan had just received news of breaking through the enemy's defense line. Before he could follow up, Wu Benlang General Zhang Jun, who was ambushing the city, suddenly led his army out of the city, and once again established a solid defense line in the river valley, and "eated" Yang Xuanting in one bite.

When Yang Xuangan heard the news, he disagreed. In his opinion, this was just a stubborn resistance in Xiaoxin'an City. As long as he charges, he can destroy the opponent's defense line. Besides, Yang Xuanting led all elite troops, and his combat effectiveness was enough to compete with the Xijing army. Even if he was surrounded, the Xijing army could not eat Yang Xuanting. On the contrary, Yang Xuangan was very happy to see the Xijing army and Yang Xuanting in a tangled and melee. As time passed, the Xijing army was getting closer and closer to death.

Soon, Yang Xuangan came to the front line and supervised the army to attack Xiaoxinan City.

Almost at the same time, in the direction of Mianchi, in front of Yang Jishan and Li Mi, a scene that surprised them happened. The attacking Xijing army suddenly flocked and retreated, as if there were beasts coming from behind, and they ran desperately. Then something even more surprised happened. The trenches seized by the Xijing army suddenly burned, and the trenches piled between the trenches were also ignited. The fire took advantage of the wind and became more and more prosperous. In the blink of an eye, there was a raging fire, thick smoke rolling, covering the sky and the sun.

Yang Jishan and Li Mi looked at each other, confused. Who set the fire? If it was set by the soldiers of Xijing themselves, wouldn’t they dig their own graves?
