At dawn, Jiangxia City, the third largest city in Jianghan, had completely fallen into the hands of Shan Xiongxin. At this time, the Jiangxia army and the people who had been hiding in chaos all night suddenly realized that it was not the Beichen army that attacked the city at night, but their own troops.

The only thing that made them feel lucky was that there was a chaos last night. Although there were many places in the city, it was scary. In fact, the scene was big and the momentum was loud, and the cavalry that invaded the city did not attack the defenders in the city. After controlling the city gates and various barracks and warehouses and searching Chen Xi and a group of officers, the chaos gradually subsided. Even for the Jiangxia soldiers who escaped the disaster, these mighty Zhennan Army did not seem to have any plans to deal with them.

But the trumpet was blowing and the soldiers scattered all over the city returned to their battalions, and then some new officers were transferred into the battalion and some original lower-level officers were promoted. This matter seemed to have passed like this.

On the top of Fenghuo Mountain not far south of Jiangxia City, a small group of people were hiding above. At this time, they were standing on the top of the mountain, looking at Jiangxia City.

"Did you find out the turmoil in Jiangxia last night?" Dou Hongxian, dressed in a gorgeous robe and dressed in a young lady in a noble family, looked at Jiangxia with a serious expression. She traveled thousands of miles to Jianghan, and originally wanted to find Chen Faxing, a great hero who occupied a quarter of the world, and persuade him to join forces with other heroes from the Central Plains to deal with Chen Kefu and divide the Chen Dynasty. But he never expected that Chen Faxing had just arrived in the south and had not yet entered Jiangling City.

Chen Faxing was seriously injured and died. Dong Chun won first and then lost. The entire army was wiped out. The Shen brothers fought for the throne, and Chen Wei led troops into Jiangling to fight for the throne, but Chen Wei used the Chen army to compete for the throne. After a chaotic fight, he finally took advantage of the Chen Dynasty. Lu Shishen and Zhang Zhongjian went south in one fell swoop and took Jiangling. Originally, the Chen Dynasty had insufficient troops in the southwest, so he could only defend Xiangyang. But now, the Chen army occupied Jiangling at once, and seized the four counties of Jianghan and Badong County. The situation completely changed. This time, the Chen Dynasty did not seriously damage Nanchen and Yang Ming. In addition, with such a large area of ​​occupied five counties, Beichen no longer had to worry about the situation in the southwest for several months. With such a large buffer zone, even if a few families attacked, they could last for a year and a half.

"Miss, is it that Jiang Ling's Lu Shishen attacked? The Chen army has occupied Xiangyang and Jiang Ling. If they are allowed to occupy Jiangxia, the more than ten counties of Jianghan will all be returned to Beichen." An old man said worriedly.

"It shouldn't be Lu Shishen. He only has 30,000 troops in his hand. He has to guard Xiangyang, and now he has to defend Jiang Ling and the newly captured five counties. He can't send troops, and according to my income, these 30,000 soldiers are already the only heavy army southwest of Luoyang, North Chen. Among them, there are only more than 10,000 elite government soldiers, and most of the rest are composed of rural soldiers. It's ridiculous that Chen Faxing has a hero for a lifetime. He actually has five such stupid sons. Once Chen Faxing dies, they are all defeated by Chen's army at once."

A scout in a costumed civilian arrived in a hurry, "Miss, the one who attacked the city last night was the Nanchen army, and the banner of Chen Luoyan. Three thousand light cavalry took Jiangxia in the middle of the night. Now Jiangxia City has completely fallen into their hands. I heard that Shen Laosan was killed by Chen Xi a few days ago, and Chen Xi had also fallen into the hands of the cavalry entering the city last night."

"The Southern Chen Army fought against the Southern Chen Army? Is this impossible?" the old man said in confusion.

Dou Hongxin suddenly laughed. He showed joy for the first time in a few days.

"There is nothing impossible. Since it is under the banner of Chen Luoyan, it seems that the lady of the Shen family has taken action himself. She is the only one in the Shen family who can turn the tide. If she doesn't take action, I'm afraid that Nan Chen will not be able to breathe for a few days. With her on her, it seems that Nan Chen's energy has not yet been exhausted. It seems that we still have hope this time when we go south."

The old man was full of surprise: "The Jiujiang counties were still in the hands of Beichen a few days ago. Why did Chen Luoyan lead his army to Jianghan in a blink of an eye? This was really a lost Sangyu and a gain from the east. Beichen just captured the five counties near Jiangling and fought a big victory. However, unexpectedly, the five counties of Jiujiang were taken away by Chen Luoyan in a blink of an eye. Judging from the situation, Chen Luoyan came in a bad situation. According to the young lady, which one of Chen Luoyan and Lu Shishen can win this time?"

Dou Hongxian shook his head, not agreeing with the optimism of the uncle who had always followed his father.

"They can't fight. Although the Shen Luoyan came in a fierce manner, they must have raised all the troops in Jiangdong and made a desperate attempt to resolve the dangers of Jianghan. But according to their speed, we can see that the five counties of Jiujiang must have given up the evacuation of the Northern Chen people. If they don't come, they can't come so quickly. Beichen won a big victory in Jiangling, but Jiujiang took the initiative to show weakness and retreat. This advance and retreat meant that everything was still under the control of Beichen."

"Although Chen Pojun transferred all his main forces northward to prepare for a war with the Turks, the war has not yet begun, and Chen Pojun still has an absolute advantage over Nanchen. Now that he has given up Jiujiang, it is only temporary. The capture of the five counties of Jiangling is an attack instead of defense. However, the Xiangyang army has reached its limit, so it is impossible for them to attack Jiangxia again. Chen Luoyan is in charge of the power of Nanchen as a woman. Now, the six Shen father and son of the Shen family are either dead or captured. Although she has successfully sat in this position, there must be opposition inside her. Without a certain amount of time, she cannot really command Nanchen."

After sighing, Dou Hongxing said in a little disappointed mood: "Northern Chen is now limited in military strength and he will be able to stop when he sees good luck. Next, it will definitely be a defensive stage. Although Chen Luoyan needs to protect Jiang Han and use this war to gain momentum for her to rise to power, it is enough to take down Jiang Xia and defend Anlu, Baling and other counties. If she really attacked Jiang Ling at this time, she might be dragged to Jiang Han. Her base camp Jiangdong is empty at this time, and it is entirely possible that the Beichen will be rebelled against the generals of the generals. Therefore, this battle has actually been achieved before it has been fought."

"Chen Luoyan came to Annei. This time she wanted to calm down internal conflicts and truly hold the power of Nanchen. Lu Shishen picked up a huge advantage for nothing, and he would never behave like a good person after getting a bargain. The two sides could not fight, and it would not take long. Chen Luoyan would definitely withdraw his troops back to Jiangdong."

After another half a day, the scouts who went out finally found out the detailed information.

When Dou Hongshi heard that Chen Luoyan sent 350,000 troops to come, he became more determined to his speculation. The more soldiers Chen Luoyan sent, the harder it would be to fight. First, Jiangdong was so empty that Chen Luoyan dared not stay for too long. Second, even if Lu Shishen really wanted to attack Jiangxia, he would never show up when he saw Chen Luoyan posing in this posture.

Dou Hongxing said with some disappointment: "We finally convinced Tongye Hu to agree to us to go south to contact Zhu Xiong, but unexpectedly there was such a big change in the south. The Shen family and Yang Ming were both severely damaged. What is even more regrettable is that after the battle in Yichang, Chen Luoyan and Yang Ming had become life-and-death enemies. If you want them to stop joining forces, it is afraid that it is difficult to climb the sky."

"If the heroes of the Central Plains cannot unite with the Turks, they will probably be difficult to defeat Chen Pojun by governing Ye Hu alone. If the Turks were defeated in this battle, we would not know when we would wait for King Xia." The old man was full of unwillingness. The defeat of the Xia Kingdom, and not many of the old brothers survived. Hebei men valued the most loyalty. For the old man, no matter what China and the country are, the country is important, but revenge is the most important.

"Uncle Zhang, I'm going to Jiangxia to see the Shen Luoyan. Although the Shen Luoyan is a woman, she is unparalleled in wisdom. I believe she can understand the benefits of the alliance." Dou Hongxin clenched his fists tightly and said.

"Miss, the current situation is so useless if you go there." Uncle Zhang sighed.

"Uncle Zhang, if you want to take revenge, there is only this chance. If you don't go, there will be no chance."

In Jiujiang City, a fierce battle is in full swing.

No one expected that the Beichen army, which had voluntarily retreated across the north of the Yangtze River before the battle, would suddenly launch an attack on Jiujiang, which had changed hands after the Nanchen army crossed Jiujiang.

This sudden attack made Chen Dang, the left-behind general, dreamt that he could not understand. If you want to hit you, you will fight. You abandoned Jiujiang, but now you come to grab him. Isn’t this a ill? But if you are unprepared to attack him, this is the way of military strategy. Although it is a bit unhappy to be dumped by the Northern Chen army, Chen Dang was not afraid. There were five thousand soldiers in Jiujiang City. He didn’t believe that he could not defend Jiujiang, and it was the princess’s army of 330,000.

As long as you hold on for half a day, reinforcements will be able to return to the aid, and then they will be able to counter-encircle and annihilate the invading Chen army.

However, Chen Dang was a little too optimistic. It took only half an hour for the fierce battle until now that the Northern Chen army appeared. However, Chen Dang felt that after half a day, the fierce attack of the Northern Chen army was difficult for him to resist.

There were not many Beichen troops siegeing the city, only about 3,000. However, the leaders were all famous. The commander was Hu Hai, the governor of Jiangxi who was originally in charge of Jiujiang. He had followed Chen Pojun from Liaodong. He might not be able to stand alone and command a 100,000 army. But he was extremely skilled in siege battles like this, not to mention that he was fighting Jiujiang City, which had changed hands twice.

His left and right deputy generals were also very famous. The left commander Xu Shiji, General Wagang who had Weizhen Central Plains, and the right commander Su Dingfang, was a famous young general among the middle-aged and young generation of Hebei Rebel Army. Not only Dou Jiande valued it, but even Chen Pojun also valued it very much. He tried every means to finally subdue the general.

The three generals were all very handsome. Their subordinates were all three thousand soldiers, and they were all the three thousand veterans in Jiangxi Province.

In this combination, even if they face Jiangnan generals like Du Fuwei, what they have to deal with at this time is only a second-rate general like Chen Dang. The one they are fighting against Jiujiang City, which they have just abandoned.

At the beginning of the battle, the inner guards who had been arranged early exploded and supported them into the city. Chen's army rushed into Jiujiang with a speed-storm and could not hide their ears. The tall city defense became a decoration. At the right time, the inner guards in the city were even in chaos to support Hu Hai.

Under the extremely fierce attack of the Beichen Army, Chen Dang's five thousand defenders were killed and injured, and finally defeated. The blood-filled deputy general grabbed Chen Dang's approach and said tragically: "Sir, the Beichen Army is unstoppable, Jiujiang can't defend it anymore!"
