Xiao Hong looked solemn and said with a hint of worry: "Although my brother and Cao Ge's injuries are serious, fortunately their lives are not in danger."

Hearing this, Duan Tianyang's tense expression relaxed a little. He asked in a deep voice: "Is there anyone who can tell me what is going on?"

Xiao Hong's gaze unconsciously turned to the people of Chang's army. Zhang Yi, Chi Xun and others all lowered their heads, and no one dared to respond.

This incident actually originated from a series of actions by Chang’s army.

After the Chang's army was ordered to surrender, they entered Longsha City. The deputy city lord Meng Hui and the deputy city guard Guo Zheng of Longsha City had always treated the Chang's army with great courtesy.

Originally, the Chang family army could have lived a peaceful life in Longsha City. However, not long after entering, the Chang family army gradually became restless.

Some members of the Chang family army committed crimes and oppressed the people in Longsha City. When the city guard chief Guo Zheng learned about this, he did not show mercy to the Chang family army.

He immediately led his men to arrest a group of Chang's army soldiers who were disturbing public order, and sentenced the three leading soldiers to death by military law. As for the soldiers who followed suit, each of them was severely beaten with a hundred military sticks.

Although Guo Zheng's punishment was relatively lenient and did not severely punish all members of the Chang family army involved in the case, it still aroused dissatisfaction among the generals of the Chang family army.

The core figures of the Chang family army, such as Zhang Yi, Chi Xun, Wan Fei, Fang Chao, Wang Da, Li Yong and others, gathered to discuss. They generally believed that after accepting the amnesty from Biqiu City, they were like living under someone else's roof. The reason for this was that they had not yet made any achievements, so they could not hold their heads high and no one really valued them.

After repeated discussions, they decided to make great military achievements in Longsha City to win the respect and recognition of the monk army. And everyone's eyes naturally fell on Tianhu City.

First of all, Longsha City and Tianhu City are not far apart, so it is relatively convenient to launch an attack.

Secondly, the ones currently occupying Tianhu City are the rebels from the Yunhuan Sect, who have always been hostile to the Chang family army.

More importantly, Yun Huan Sect's elder Guan Peng had committed the crime of murdering Xiu Yun. This hatred was deeply buried in everyone's heart, and they were eager to vent this anger.

For these reasons, the generals of the Chang family army unanimously decided to launch a surprise attack on Tianhu City, hoping to capture it in one fell swoop.

This move can not only avenge one's side, but also gain great military merit, thus ensuring smooth sailing in the future in Longsha City.

On the fifth day when Duan Tianyang led five battalions of troops to rescue Xihui City, the generals of the Chang family army quietly led more than a thousand subordinates to leave Longsha City and march towards Tianhu City.

They had originally planned to launch a surprise attack under the cover of night, but unexpectedly, they encountered an ambush by the Yunhuan Sect's rebels in the Black Wind Ridge area, which was still dozens of miles away from Tianhu City.

The terrain in the Black Wind Ridge area is complex. Although the mountains are not high, the forests are dense, providing excellent conditions for the rebels to set up an ambush.

The Chang family army was caught off guard and suddenly attacked by the Yunhuan Sect's rebels. They were defeated all the way and finally retreated to a small valley in Heifeng Ridge.

The rebels of the Yunhuan Sect set up layers of defense outside the valley, completely surrounding the small valley.

They were not in a hurry to attack, but instead surrounded and waited for the Chang family army, which had retreated into the valley, to exhaust its resources.

The Chang family army was lightly equipped and carried limited rations. They might be able to hold out for a day or two, but they would not be able to sustain it for too long.

Therefore, Chang's army sent Wang Da and Li Yong to lead a hundred elite soldiers to break out.

Wang Da and Li Yong fought bravely and finally broke out successfully, but none of the one hundred brothers who followed them survived.

After escaping danger, Wang Da and Li Yong immediately rushed to Longsha City to ask for help from the city guard chief Guo Zheng.

Guo Zheng originally thought that the Chang family army left without permission because they were dissatisfied with the rules and regulations, but he did not expect that they were actually going to attack Tianhu City, and were trapped in Heifeng Ridge by the rebels of Tianhu City.

Upon hearing the news, Guo Zheng acted decisively and quickly led 500 Longsha City defenders to the rescue.

However, as soon as the Longsha Army entered Black Wind Ridge, it encountered a fierce attack from the rebels.

Guo Zheng unfortunately died in the battle, and the Longsha army also suffered heavy losses. The remaining remnants had to retreat back to Longsha City.

The news of Longsha quickly spread to Biqiu City. After Xiao Fang and Cao Ge learned the information, they were furious. They immediately summoned a thousand soldiers and rode their horses straight to Black Wind Ridge.

However, fate played a cruel joke on them. They fell into the same predicament as Chang's army and encountered an ambush by the rebels.

In desperation, Xiao Fang and Cao Ge could only lead their soldiers in a desperate fight. They finally broke the rebels' encirclement of Chang's army and successfully joined forces with Chang's army.

But they were also trapped in this valley and couldn't escape.

Wen Daozun in Bhikkhu City was very anxious when he saw that there had been no news from Xiao Fang and Cao Ge for a long time.

He immediately ordered Xiao Hong to lead six battalions of troops to go to Black Wind Ridge for support.

When Xiao Hong led the army to the scene, the trapped Biqiu Army and Chang's Army had already engaged in several fierce battles with the rebels.

After a desperate fight, the team of a thousand people led by Xiao Fang was reduced to less than five hundred people, and the Chang family army suffered heavy losses, with only more than two hundred people left.

When the rebels of Yunhuan Sect saw the army from Biqiu City arriving, they immediately gave up the siege and retreated to Tianhu City.

This is the whole story. In this battle, Chang's army suffered heavy losses and was completely defeated.

If Wen Daozun had not sent troops to support them in time, I am afraid that Xiao Fang and others would have had difficulty surviving.

On the way back to the city, Xiao Hong told Duan Tianyang the whole incident in detail.

After hearing this, Duan Tianyang frowned and said to Wen Daozun in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen, the rebels obviously used the strategy of besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements, but they couldn't see it. Could it be that you can't see it either?"

After the Yunhuan Sect besieged the Chang family army, they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they let Li Yong and Wang Da break out, intending to lure the monk army to come to the rescue so that they could set up an ambush at Black Wind Ridge.

Wen Daozun looked embarrassed and whispered, "My Lord, it's not that I didn't see the rebels' plan, but I didn't expect their forces to be so strong. Later, I learned from the brothers of Tianyan Hall that the city army of Beiyou City had defected to Yunhuan Sect."

"Beiyou City?" Duan Tianyang frowned.

"Beiyou City is adjacent to Tianhu City. Both cities are located on the edge of Xiguan. Strictly speaking, they should be under the jurisdiction of Beiguan. Beiyou City has at least two to three thousand soldiers. Now the total strength of the Yunhuan Sect rebels is nearly five thousand, and there are many martial artists with extraordinary combat power." Wen Daozun added.

Duan Tianyang felt mixed emotions. If he had known this earlier, how could the Chang family army have acted rashly? And how could Guo Zheng only take 500 people to take risks and end up dying?

Later, Xiao Fang and Gary Cao also fell into trouble and were seriously injured because they were unaware of the situation.

Obviously, the Yun Huan Sect knew everything about them, but they knew nothing about the Yun Huan Sect.

Now that the war is over, it is too late to learn about the changes in Beiyou City!
