When the dust settled, the young soldier Meng Lin rushed back with his support, but everything was gone without realizing everything, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

Because they were discovered in advance and were alerted, the enemy who were stumbled down the river did not cause any substantial losses to the formation. Instead, they captured thousands of enemy soldiers who were stranded on the river beach and were unable to escape in time.

However, there was no such good luck in the friendly barracks on the other side of the river bank; the left wing of Zhenxiong's army, which was also stolen by the enemy's camp, almost unexpectedly lost the periphery and posts; then the several troops that gathered together to fight were defeated one by one;

After almost half of the camp was burned down, with the help of friendly forces around the world, they repelled and expelled the enemy.

This is almost a serious injury for Zhenxiong Army, which had already suffered a lot of losses in the battles between Sishui Pass and Wulao Pass. At least in a short time, the ability to take the initiative to fight again is no longer possible.

Of course, compared to the fact that the military camp was in good luck before the attack, it was obviously a bit embarrassing and unfavorable; this inevitably caused various boycotts on the right and wrong of specific responsibilities and subsequent handling within the unit of the three armies.

But all this had nothing to do with the young Meng Lin. Although the scene was filled with various Chen Heng's corpses and discarded flag soldiers' staff, the hope of survival was already slim.

But some kind of promise and vow made Meng Lin insist on finding and seeing the body of Benshi's companion before he could rest. So he spent another half an hour and finally found the broken small flag under a small mound.

Then, along the corpses scattered along the mound, they maintained a fighting posture before their death. The familiar faces and broken muskets that had fallen to the ground one after another were carefully lifted down one by one until a surprise scream came at the end.

"There is another one who will vent..."

After moving away and pressing on several dead bodies on his body, a figure covered in blood was squirmed and complained in a familiar tone.

"I'm crushed to death..."

Although the surviving man had several holes in his body, it was not a legitimate point, and the bleeding area had solidified.
So, after a simple bandage, the veteran soldier became more talkative.

"Baby, I can't take you now,"

"Remember my name is Chen Longxiang..."

"He is an age similar to your children..."

"If you have the fate, remember to bring a message..."...

The north of Luodu City,

There was also a lot of fighting in the middle of the three passes of Heyang Bridge.

Li Chuwen, who was wearing helmets and armor, was commanding on the front line, forcing the remaining defenders in the city to squeeze and push down the last north gate.

According to the original plan, he decisively pulled out the camp and started a very quickly. Therefore, he was able to reach the southern city of the three passes of Heyang Bridge across the Yellow River before Luodu discovered and sent a messenger. Then, he easily opened the city gate on the grounds of being ordered to assist in defense, and quickly seized the Nanguan City with one move.

Before most of the defenders in the city could react, they were all controlled and imprisoned on the grounds of investigating the traitors; the large amount of materials hoarded in the city, as well as food, grass, machinery and supplies transported from the north bank, but were stranded in the city, also became his spoils of war.

However, when he tried to continue his efforts to deceive Zhongguan City on the Yellow River Sand Bank, accidents and variables occurred. The defenders of the three passes of Heyang Bridge were all guarded by troops from different places for a period of time, and Guancheng stationed on the sand bank in Hezhong was a Yanzhou army from the Western Army;

When the defenders of Zhongguan City did not know him at all and did not buy it, they had to send people to negotiate the fraudulent pass, which turned into a forcibly attacked and fought.

Fortunately, under the intentional calculation, the other party did not deliberately strengthen its defense against the banner of the same friendly army. He sent hundreds of dead soldiers disguised as civilians to be considered effective. He was able to snatch the most dangerous and difficult southern section of the bridge deck, quickly broke through the pass with superior forces, and fought hard with the defenders in the city.

At this point, Li Chuwen had no more words to say, and he could only inspire the soldiers to fight to the death.

When these Western soldiers stationed in Zhongguan City, under the fire attacks of the red-eyed Li Chuwen's troops, were quickly piled up, and they could no longer hold on and escaped from behind the city walls and bunkers that lacked inward protection;

They opened the door or went downstairs, following the last road of life, the northern section of the bridge deck, and fled to the opposite bank of Beiguan City without any chance of closing. However, they were blocked before the final closing. No matter how they shouted or asked for it, they did not see any feedback. Instead, they became the targets of Li Chuwen's troops chasing and shooting.

Li Chuwen was also full of regret and relieved and issued an order to withdraw troops and reorganize; at least today it would be impossible to capture Beiguan City in one go.

Although the expected maximum results and goals were not achieved,

But even if he cannot break through Beiguan City as scheduled, he already has the potential to fight Nanguan and Zhongguan, which is equivalent to having some kind of invincible support and basis.

At least, in this deep summer when the river floods are irritating, neither the remnants of the Yellow River Navy of the Northern Dynasties nor the garrisons stranded on the other side of the river are able to recreate a path and bridge across the Yellow River in the short term.

In this way, he was trapped in the third pass of Heyang Bridge, so he had a variety of choices and possibilities.

Whether it was in accordance with quite generous conditions and high prices, they took the initiative to hand over the army of Daliang of the Southern Dynasty, so that they could completely cut off Luodu's support and complete the encirclement of Dujidao.

He still forced Luoducheng to accept his own conditions and exchanged the two occupied cities for the garrison of Beiguancheng to give him a pass to Hebei; he even recognized and granted the qualification and title of occupying and owning a piece of land in Hebei or Hedong.

There is enough room for people to wait for the price and have a private negotiation and buffer.

Now, as long as he stabilizes his subordinates and relies on the city's reserves to continue to stick to it, as time goes by, the price he exists will only become higher and higher...

The Marshal's Mansion of Luodu,

“It’s unreasonable…”

In a short time, the Regent roared in the court again with anger.

"What do the defenders of Heyang Bridge cook for food..."

"Li Chuwen, this dog thief...? How dare... How dare"

"It's a big deal for me... a traitor, I'm not willing to die."

Since Li Chuwen rebelled, it seems that he has opened up some hidden continuous reaction. This period of time, bad news has come one after another. In addition to being taken advantage of by Nan Ni because of lack of combat power, he has collapsed and can only survive under the cover of the city wall, the front line of heavy troops defending in the south has also suffered a severe blow.

Under the attack on both front and rear sides, the Linzhou soldiers stationed in the southeast line of the Western Army were in a panic attack. This led to the defeat and decline of being driven straight into the southern army from the camp they were stationed.

Yang Keshi, who took the initiative to lead the cavalry to attack, was also defeated in front of the artillery that was pre-hit in Nanliang.

Although the city tried hard to send troops to help them with their defense, there were still at least four military orders, which were destroyed or severely damaged on the spot, or had to be abandoned; there were also two military orders who surrendered to the enemy on the spot because they were separated by pursuers.

Although in addition to the Yulin Army, Jingying, Shenbiao Army and a few elite troops in the city, they also gathered new forces known as 100,000, but they were exhausted and disabled, and all kinds of incomplete organization and equipment were chaotic and lacked. They had not been reorganized by the Right Privy Councillor Zhang Shuye, and they were simply useless.

However, after venting, he still calmed down his emotions and lowered his voice.

"This generation actually dares to send someone to interrogate..."

"You should have something to do...and say it"

Only after the few remaining close friends and close servants were coveted, did they have a well-looking interface.
