Yang Chaoyi died, and the five thousand soldiers and horses he led and Chengde's five thousand reinforcements were now in a mess. With no way back and strong enemies ahead, we can only surrender our weapons and beg for mercy. This is the awareness of being a turtle in a urn.

Looking at the Wei Bo soldiers who were begging for mercy and surrender, Li Xiujing frowned. After thinking for a moment, in the end, only a few of Wei Bobing's generals were killed, and the rest were escorted back to Zhou Sui's camp to await their fate.

He Liang was left to lead people down to clean up the battlefield. After resting for a night, Li Xiujing took Feng Yuanxian and led his army back.

Before approaching the main camp, a faint cry of killing came in the wind, which seemed to be coming from the direction of Shuanggang. Apparently Tian Min's troops were stopped by Xue Chong, Zhou Sui's subordinate.

Without delay, Li Xiujing immediately led his troops to return reinforcements. When he arrived, Zhou Sui and Wang Baozhen were fighting fiercely with Tian Min's army at the foot of Linming City.

There was a fierce battle between the government troops and the rebels. The Shence Army brought by Li Xiujing only slightly improved the situation.

The 5,000 cavalrymen of the official army had already overwhelmed the opponent's formation. He rushed in with unstoppable momentum, then made a roundabout way before advancing again, surrounded by sharp weapons. The flags on the Chinese military camps on both sides kept changing, and even the flags in the formations also kept changing.

The bow and crossbow can be changed into a long spear. If they get closer, the long spear will be discarded and replaced with a horizontal sword to entangle the enemy.

Scouts from both sides kept rushing back and forth under the rain of arrows, reporting the battle situation to their respective camps. The battle situation was frequently reported to be urgent, and Tian Min in the Weibo camp frowned. Previously, his troops surrounded Linming but could not attack it for a long time. After hearing that the imperial court sent people to support him. He immediately sent troops to divide into three groups, intending to divide the imperial court's forces.

Unexpectedly, a letter from Zhou Sui made him mistakenly believe that the power of the government and army was weak, so he despised the imperial court. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Zhou Sui's trick, just to make him relax his vigilance.

Now that he was unable to capture Linming, there was no news about the people sent to support Yang Chaoyi. Most likely that side was also captured by the army. And the Shence Army joined the battle again. At this time, if he fought again, he would probably die here.

"What's going on over there in Shuanggang? Isn't there any news from Yang Chaoyi? Report all the casualties to me." Tian Min took a deep breath and shouted with a cold face. He wanted to wait, what if things weren't as bad as he thought?

Tian Min wanted to give the order again to split the army from the flank. Unexpectedly, a spear passed through the curtain and was thrown in front of the case.

Before he could react, a scout covered in blood ran in.

"Commander, the Chinese army has also been broken through by the officers and soldiers."

"Immediately shrink the formation and take shelter, quickly find high ground to defend." After reacting, Tian Min immediately issued a military order, and the Chinese army was dispatched.

Although Wei Boya's soldiers were brave and good at fighting, the imperial officers and soldiers were not weak either. When the troops of Zhou Sui and Wang Baozhen in that compartment saw that Shence's army had broken through the right compartment of Wei Bo's army, they immediately ordered the closing of the net. The intention is to capture Tian Min in one fell swoop.

But Tian Min is not an embroidered pillow. As a veteran who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, Tian Min keenly senses a glimmer of murderous intent in the shouts and sounds of horseshoes and knives around him.

Tian Min raised his arm and pointed his sword in the northwest direction, "The Chinese army will form a formation and follow me to break through."

After these days of fighting, he knew that the officers and soldiers in front of him were not as friendly as they appeared. Zhou and Wang had a rift for a long time. Even if they join forces this time, they may not be able to work together. He had carefully observed just now that the northwest direction was where the army's defense was weakest.

The officers and soldiers were completely unprepared for Tian Min's breakthrough. By the time Tian Min led his troops to rush over, the officers and soldiers had already been killed before they even raised their weapons.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Sui in the camp immediately changed his flags and ordered people to pursue Wei Bo's defeated army.

"We have been fighting fiercely for half the night, and we should not pursue the enemy. What if this is Tian Min's plan?" Wang Baozhen stopped him from the side.

Hearing this, Zhou Sui narrowed his eyes and remained silent. What Wang Baozhen said is not unreasonable. What if Tian Min pretended to flee and led the army into a trap of siege?

Just as Zhou Sui was hesitating, the scout came to report. Li Xiujing has already led five thousand Shence troops to pursue Tian Min's remnants.

Zhou Sui laughed, "This boy is really wild, he has the same temperament as his father."

"Commander, should we send someone to support them?" The general on the side frowned, "They are the imperial army after all. It's hard for us to explain if something happens."

"Take five thousand people to follow and be ready to support at any time." Zhou Sui said loudly.

The general should leave now.

Wang Baozhen glanced at Zhou Sui and turned to leave.

At this time, Tian Min had successfully broken through the siege and fled all the way to Huanshui. They have been attacking for several miles, and they are already exhausted.

Tian Min ordered the troops to slow down and rest. Taking advantage of this time, Tian Min and his generals looked around and discussed whether they could find a high ground to station troops and wait for an opportunity to counterattack Linming.

However, at this moment, fire suddenly broke out all around. The smell of burning flax lingers in the air. Tian Min raised his head and looked around, catching a glimpse of the Shence Army's flag in the distance.

Tian Min felt that his energy and blood were flowing backwards, and a sweet smell rose in his throat. He couldn't help but sneered: "Why, Shence Army is no longer the boss in Chang'an. Did he actually come out to conquer the feudal town again? It seems that the emperor is planning to get rid of the trouble. Kill the donkey."

After saying this, Li Xiujing sneered, "You traitor and traitor." After saying that, he fired the crossbow.

The cold arrow shot directly at Tian Min. Tian Min was so startled that he quickly bent down to avoid it.

After several rounds of shooting, Wei Bojun suffered heavy losses. Tian Min glared at Li Xiujing in the distance with his sword in hand, and once again led his army to break out.

Li Xiujing frowned as he watched Wei Bojun, led by Tian Mindi, rush towards the burning flax field without hesitation. Finally, he raised his hand to stop the Shence Army's intention to pursue.

Tian Min cherishes his life and will definitely fight to the death. The Shence Army also experienced a long period of fierce fighting, and after running for so long, both men and horses were exhausted. A hasty pursuit will do them no good.

What's more, he cherishes his life, and he still wants something.

After gathering the remnant troops left behind by Tian Min, they cleared the battlefield. Li Xiujing then led his troops back to join Zhou Sui.

Everyone rushed back before dark. Zhou Sui and his generals personally greeted the Shence Army at the gate of the camp.

After greeting each other, Li Xiujing reported the situation on his side to Zhou Sui. The Shence Army captured 500 of the opponent's men, but Tian Min still fled towards Huanshui.

"General Li is too modest. This matter has nothing to do with you. After all, it was us who were too hesitant to allow Tian Min to escape." After saying that, Zhou Sui invited Li Xiujing to join the camp, "But it is also good to relieve the siege of Linming. Wei After all, Bo is the most powerful of the three towns, and we cannot underestimate it."

"I will finally understand." Li Xiujing replied in a muffled voice.

Realizing that Li Xiujing was tired, Zhou Sui knew that Shen Ce's army was already involved that night, so he didn't say anything more. Let Li Xiujing lead the Shence Army to camp and rest first.

After a quick wash, Li Xiujing lay on her back on the bed.

Judging from today's situation, I am afraid that the battle between the imperial court and Heshuo may not be over in a year. Although the supply of the Shence Army is better than that of the other Dao armies, it can barely last a year and a half with the support of Huiwu.

But the military contributions from various Taoists also fell on the imperial court.

At present, Huaixi Festival Commander Cai Xilie was ordered to conquer Shannan, and Dugubo of Youzhou attacked Chengde again. Hedong and Zhaoyi sent troops to conquer Wei Bo and Lulong respectively.

Every payment was a big expense, and he suddenly felt worried about Pei Jiaoran. With such a heavy burden on her, it must be difficult for her to walk.
