“Commander Pei is dead? How did he die?” Just when they finally settled the camp, containing the soldiers who were on the verge of dispersing, they heard such news. Linghu Sheng’s face also turned gloomy; there was no grief in his heart, only impatience and anger.
Even the Chief Advisor Liu, whom you abandoned, is still alive. How come you, the commander, ended up dead? Could there be enemies in the rear?
However, the reply he received was even more absurd than he had imagined.
“Commander, Commander seems to have… fallen off his horse and died…” The soldier delivering the news stuttered, “Right in front of the supply camp. When Major Zhang rushed over, he had already breathed his last…”
“What about his personal guards?”
“They… they all escaped.”
Linghu Sheng fell silent for a while, and sighed wearily, “Just say the commander fought bravely and died in battle.”
Abandoning the command flag and fleeing midway, ending up dead from falling off a horse – it was a devastating blow to morale. Moreover, how Commander Pei, a member of the Pei family, should be remembered still needed some dignity.
After giving a brief order, Linghu Sheng dismissed this troublesome matter from his mind. To be honest, he had no interest in investigating how Commander Pei died. The unexpected death of this person had actually relieved him of a great worry. Now, there was no need to attack Lishi, and he could finally withdraw his troops.
However, he had to carefully consider how to return home.
“Has Liu Hu’s army surrounded Jinyang?” Linghu Sheng turned his head and asked his nephew.

Linghu Kuang replied urgently, “Indeed. It is said to be as many as ten thousand people, and they have brought the Bai Xianbei cavalry. They have already begun to attack the city. Uncle, we must immediately rescue Jinyang!”
But unexpectedly, Linghu Sheng shook his head, “We cannot act hastily! Now with dangers both in front and behind, hastily returning to rescue will only lead to being attacked on both sides.”
“Now it seems that the Xiongnu were prepared for this expedition to Jinyang. Otherwise, Liu Hu wouldn’t have attacked Jinyang right after arriving at the western border of Xihe. And those several thousand elite cavalry that nearly collapsed the central army, the one leading them is also not a simple figure. If we rashly go back to rescue Jinyang, the large army might be caught by the pursuing Xiongnu forces before it even sets off. By then, if Liu Hu sends some Xianbei people, this remaining force might not be able to hold its ground.
“Before the expedition, the lord anticipated that Liu Hu might raise troops. He must have countermeasures in place. Now that the soldiers from Shangdang have gone to the rescue, Jinyang should be able to hold on for some time. Our provisions are intact, and considering this as a mournful force, as long as we stabilize the front, we can slowly retreat. We must not give the Xiongnu any opportunities to exploit!”
Linghu Kuang was stunned for a moment before he had to admit that his uncle’s words made sense. If they acted recklessly, not to mention whether they could save Jinyang, just the ten thousand troops of Liu Hu, plus the over ten thousand Xiongnu troops behind them, would be enough to crush them. If they also lose their own troops, Jinyang would be undefendable.
Suppressing the frustration in his heart, Linghu Kuang whispered, “Nephew understands! Jinyang, after all, has the lord guarding it, and the soldiers are not likely to lose their composure.”
This is the influence of a commanding officer who possesses both prestige and ability on the military’s morale. If it were someone else, who could guarantee that with an empty city and a large enemy army approaching, Jinyang wouldn’t fall? But with Governor Liang there, almost no one worried that he would be defeated. The legendary experiences had long placed a halo over him. As long as the lord is present, they seem to have nothing to fear.
Seeing that his nephew had also figured it out, Linghu Sheng sighed gently, “Order to begin the withdrawal tomorrow!”

The originally thought victory was assured, but who knew that it would change overnight? Liu Cong looked at the slowly retreating army and couldn’t help but frown. This doesn’t look like the appearance of an army fleeing in panic after a major defeat. On the contrary, the Jin army’s retreat was measured, their formation was watertight, and their camp was well-built. It was the kind of battle formation that couldn’t be easily defeated without exerting ten times the effort and incurring significant casualties.
Knowing that Jinyang was besieged and still able to retreat so calmly, could it be that they weren’t afraid that returning late would result in Jinyang being captured by Liu Hu?
However, no matter how unwilling he was, Liu Cong could only reorganize his troops, trailing behind the Jin army and waiting for an opportunity. After walking like this for a whole day, Liu Cong finally couldn’t bear it.
“Only retreating thirty or so miles in a day, when will we reach Jinyang?!” He had only brought a small amount of supplies with his light cavalry charge. After passing through the vast wilderness, there was no way to supply the army. Retreating for three to five days like this, his side’s supplies would run out, and what’s the point?!
“Order Liu Hu to send Bai Xianbei to support!” Liu Cong finally made up his mind.
Put aside thoughts of seizing credit for now. Winning is the key. He must devour this Jin army that had ventured into Lishi! Only by annihilating this force could he have a chance to attack Jinyang. And once Jinyang falls, the solid Shangdang would also crumble, and at that time, taking Bing County would be as easy as reaching into a pocket. This merit would be several times stronger than that kid Liu Yao’s!
With the fast horse, Liu Cong’s order reached below the walls of Jinyang. In a simple tent, Liu Hu was equally full of resentment. He, as the descendant of the Righteous King of the Southern Xiongnu, now had to take orders from Liu Yuan, who came from the Tuoba clan. Even if Liu Yuan publicly claimed to be the descendant of Yufuluo Chanyu, those true descendants of the Xiongnu royal family, how could they not know the twists and turns inside?
Faced with the overall situation, he had no choice but to take refuge with Liu Yuan. Now, even younger generations like Liu Cong were meddling. He also had over ten thousand troops in his hands. How could he not annihilate a mere twenty thousand Jin troops? The situation in Jinyang City was particularly infuriating. It was already the third day, and they still couldn’t conquer it! How many soldiers were there in the city? Could it be that someone surnamed Liang could conjure up over ten thousand troops?
However, no matter how frustrated he felt, he still had to put on a submissive appearance for Liu Yuan’s beloved son. Pretending to be cheerful, Liu Hu laughed heartily, “General Fu has given the order, how dare I not comply? It just so happens that those soldiers have been restless for a long time; it’s time to let them loose and have a good fight.”

The Bai Xianbei, also known as the Suhe Clan, was originally a vassal of the Tuoba Clan. However, after the death of Tuoba Yiyi and the internal power struggle within the clan, these affiliated clans began to have different ideas. They reached an agreement with Liu Hu and jointly defected to the Han state of the Xiongnu. This time, when they came to attack Jinyang, the Bai Clan also dispatched a full two thousand cavalry. However, it was challenging for these Xianbei warriors to attack the city. In the past few days, they only engaged in skirmishes and shooting arrows to boost morale. Now that Liu Cong came seeking assistance, it seemed like an opportunity. Having these Xianbei people attack the main camp was clearly more cost-effective than attacking the city.
Moreover, after the external Jin army was annihilated, would Liu Cong give up attacking Jinyang? When the city was conquered, wouldn’t there still be his own credit?
Understanding this, Liu Hu naturally responded decisively. The order was passed down, and the Xianbei warriors immediately became excited. They geared up and rode towards the waiting prey.

It had been three days! Zhang He felt like he had reached his limit, and his mouth was burning with blisters. However, his immediate superior still showed no sign of deploying troops.
Our lord has been guarding that isolated city for three days! How many troops are there in the city? Do we really have to wait for the city to fall before sending reinforcements? If Zhang He didn’t know that Yiyan was a trusted confidant of their lord, he would have suspected that he was ready to watch without intervening!
Not only Zhang He, but all the soldiers hidden in Longshan were accumulating the same impatience and intense killing intent. These individuals were all from the Liang family, the trusted confidants among the trusted confidants, the elites among the elites. Each of them tied themselves to the Liang family and the lord. No one could tolerate any mishap to the household head who seemed like a deity.
How much longer do they have to wait? When will there be any action?!
Just when the desire for battle was about to burst, Yiyan finally issued the military order.
“The enemy has two thousand cavalry leaving Jinyang and heading towards Lishi. Tiger and Wolf Camp will intercept, Brave Camp will cooperate with the cavalry and counterattack the enemy below the city!”
Finally, it came! After all the cavalry in the Tiger and Wolf Camp were mobilized, Zhang He rallied his troops and rushed towards Jinyang!

Suhi Bao had also been waiting for a long time. Jinyang was like a slaughterhouse. No matter how many soldiers they threw in every day, they would all end up as meat-paste fireballs, falling from the city walls. Even these Xianbei warriors participated in the city siege, but they couldn’t break through! The towering city walls of Jinyang were like a forbidden zone, forbidding anyone from setting foot.
Watching as the ten thousand troops were reduced to eight thousand, these Xianbei riders were getting restless. Attacking a city was never meant to be the job of the Xianbei. Field battles were what they were good at!
Just as Liu Cong came seeking aid, Suhi Bao didn’t hesitate. He rallied his troops and headed towards the direction of Lishi. It was said that Liu Cong had already won a battle, and the enemy commander had died in the field. A group of losers like this should be easily defeated, right?

Thinking about how to break through the enemy camp and seize more military supplies and provisions before the Xiongnu could, Suhi Bao suddenly perked up his ears and raised his head. In the front, there was the sound of hoofbeats, and the number seemed quite substantial! What’s going on? Could there be an ambush?
However, at the next moment, a troop of Xiongnu cavalry appeared at the end of the road. There were about fifteen or sixteen hundred of them, riding their horses swiftly toward this direction. Suhi Bao couldn’t help but slow down, asking the messenger beside him, “Did your general send troops to meet us?”
Was Liu Cong’s side planning something else and sent cavalry to welcome them?
The messenger was also somewhat confused. Could there be a change ahead? However, in an instant, he suddenly exclaimed, “No! Those are not Han troops!”
His reaction was not slow, but it was still too late! The incoming cavalry did not slow down at all. Like a roaring thunder, they entered the range— not mounted archers but hand crossbowmen— 1,500 hand crossbows shot out cold glints like swarming locusts, rushing towards the Xianbei cavalry formation!
Xianbei riders were unparalleled in mounted archery, but even if they were immortals, they couldn’t evade such an attack! After a round of arrow rain, half of the Xianbei cavalry fell from their horses. The remaining ones shouted angrily, wanting to draw their blades to counterattack. However, the enemies on horseback pulled the bowstrings again, this time with true hard bows, like the most skillful nomadic hunters. The second round of arrow rain arrived!
Like wild grass blown down by a strong wind, in just an instant, Suhi Bao lost most of his followers. Even though he reacted quickly, he raised his wooden shield just in time, his shoulders and thighs were still hit by two arrows. However, even at such an extreme disadvantage, he showed no fear. On the contrary, pain and anger ignited his killing intent. With a loud roar, Suhi Bao drew his curved blade and charged towards the cavalry!
Among the tribes, Suhi Bao was also an outstanding warrior. There were few who could withstand his strength. Unexpectedly, in the enemy formation, a spirited gray-white horse rushed out, and the knife-like glint exploded in front of this Xianbei brave!
The irresistible blow was desperately blocked by Suhi Bao. However, in the next moment, his curved blade, helmet, and the flesh and blood around his neck were ruthlessly cut open by the long knife. Those gray-blue eyes, fleeting, carried a chilling killing intent. They didn’t even linger for a moment on him. Suhi Bao staggered and fell off his horse.
Under the guidance of that white-spotted horse, the 1,500 elite riders tore through the already broken Xianbei formation. The sounds of killing were like thunder, and blood splattered into the sky!
Half an hour later, Liu Hu looked somewhat stunned at the horizon, where a cavalry force appeared, not even two thousand in number, and it seemed like they had just experienced a fierce battle. Whose troops were these? Weren’t the Suhi Tribe just leaving from that direction? However, before he could ponder, the cavalry, like muddy gray waves, surged toward the city.
Oh no! Liu Hu suddenly stood up, “It’s the enemy! Enemy reinforcements!”
What is Liu Cong doing after all? Can’t more than ten thousand people watch the Jin army? And what is Suhi Bao doing for a living? But no matter how much he hates it, there is no time. The day is not too late, and many of his generals are still attacking the city, making it impossible to defend.
Before he could come up with a strategy, on the other side, a group of infantry also emerged, like ghosts suddenly appearing, rushing towards him! With attacks from both sides, even if the numbers are not large, it is enough to make his exhausted soldiers collapse!
“Quick! Quickly organize the troops to counterattack!” Liu Hu, in a miserable state, climbed onto his warhorse, leading more than a thousand personal guards to meet them, attempting to stop this wave of attacks…
On top of the city wall, Liang Feng looked at the fierce battle below, where soldiers and horses clashed, and he let out a long sigh, releasing the pent-up frustration in his chest.
“Someone, beat the drums to support the battle!”
He had finally waited for this moment. And Yiyan had also fulfilled his own strict orders. In this battle, they would not be defeated!
The war drums thundered, resounding on the walls of Jinyang City, echoing across the desolate field below, amid the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the sound reverberated endlessly!
“Commander Pei is dead? How did he die?” Just when they finally settled the camp, containing the soldiers who were on the verge of dispersing, they heard such news. Linghu Sheng’s face also turned gloomy; there was no grief in his heart, only impatience and anger.
Even the Chief Advisor Liu, whom you abandoned, is still alive. How come you, the commander, ended up dead? Could there be enemies in the rear?
However, the reply he received was even more absurd than he had imagined.
“Commander, Commander seems to have… fallen off his horse and died…” The soldier delivering the news stuttered, “Right in front of the supply camp. When Major Zhang rushed over, he had already breathed his last…”

However, he had to carefully consider how to return home.
“Has Liu Hu’s army surrounded Jinyang?” Linghu Sheng turned his head and asked his nephew.
