On the afternoon of September 14, the first, third, fourth, twenty and twenty-first towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army arrived at the east bank of the Jinluo River. After crossing the Jinluo River, there were only more than thirty miles away from the Jinluo City.

After leaving Jinluo Imperial Guards' First Town, the Third Town and the Fourth Town left Jinluo City, they marched all the way to Yaling County, Luoqu County, on the capital road to suppress the rebellion, and on the way they gathered the 20th Town and 21st Town of Jinluo Imperial Guards'.

The 20th and 21st towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army had suffered great losses in the battle with the Dayan army before. At this time, the two towns had not recovered their vitality in total. There were less than 50,000 people in total, and more than 70% of them were new recruits. However, in order to eliminate nearly 300,000 Dongcong soldiers who had undergone mutiny as soon as possible, the Ministry of War of the Jinluo Kingdom also transferred the 20th and 21st towns and rushed to Yaling County, Luoqu County to quell the rebellion.

Originally, the Ministry of War of Jinluo State had also recruited 50,000 xiang troops from the capital road area and was preparing to cooperate with the five towns of imperial guards to go to Yaling County to suppress the rebellion. However, before the five towns of imperial guards had arrived in Yaling County, they received news that the rebels had invaded Jinluo City. The Ministry of War of Jinluo State had quickly transferred the five towns of imperial guards to return to Jinluo City immediately, and the 50,000 xiang troops recruited had not yet joined the five towns of Jinluo City at this time.

Xiahou Ju, the commander of the first town of the Jinluo Imperial Army, looked at the remains of the burnt remains of the fourteen pontoon bridges by the Jinluo River and the rebels who were waiting for battle across the river, and couldn't help but frown and said: "It seems that if our five towns want to cross the Jinluo River, it will not be enough without paying a little price."

Xiahou Ju is a son of the royal family, and is also the younger brother of Xiahou Cheng, the Minister of War of the Jinluo Kingdom. He is just in his early forties this year.

Chang Su, the commander of the 20th town of Jinluo's Imperial Army, hesitated and asked: "Can you bypass the rebels across the river?"

At this time, Xiahou Ben, the commander of the third town of Jinluo Imperial Army, shook his head and said, "If we take a detour and don't say we need to waste more time, the rebels across the river can also follow our five towns to move. I think our five towns should not have other ideas, and work together to defeat the rebels on the other side of the river as soon as possible to rescue Jinluo City. I don't know what the situation in Jinluo City is like?"

Xiahou Ben is also a clan of the Jinluo Kingdom. He is only twenty-seven years old this year. He is a master warrior and is known as the number one master of the Jinluo Kingdom's clan.

Xiahou Lin, the head coach of the Fourth Town of Jinluo Imperial Guard, said in a deep voice: "Since there has been no news from Jinluo City in the past two days, it is very likely that the six gates of Jinluo City have been captured by rebels. Our five towns really cannot waste too much time in Jinluo River. We agree to force crossing Jinluo River!"

Xiahou Lin is also a clan of the Jinluo Kingdom. He is 33 years old this year. Although his martial arts skills are not as good as Xiahou Ben, he is also a master warrior.

The Jinluo Kingdom is different from the Dayan Empire. Many of the commanders of the Jinluo Imperial Army towns are children of the Jinluo Kingdom's royal family, which made Emperor Xiahou firmly control the military power of the Jinluo army.

Xiahou Ju, the commander of the first town of the Jinluo Imperial Army, immediately said: "Immediately, let the soldiers of each town go to the nearby woods to cut wood and build rafts. At present, the water flow of the Jinluo River is smooth, and rafts are enough to cross the Jinluo River. In addition, let the soldiers collect fishing boats on the east bank and prepare to build a floating bridge!"

The first, third, fourth, twenty and twenty-first towns of the Jinluo Imperial Guards began to send soldiers to cross the Jinluo River on a raft, and at the same time, they used the collected fishing boats to make bridges to try to build more than ten floating bridges at the same time.

More than 50,000 officers and soldiers of the third town of Fuzhen guarding the west bank of the Jinluo River, led by the four powerful generals of Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng, relying on a large number of bows and arrows, powerful crossbows and more than 500 bed crossbows, blocked the wave after wave of attacks of the five towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army. Until the early morning of September 15, the west bank of the Jinluo River was still under the hands of the third town of Fuzhen.

The five towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army attacked all night. Not only did they not grab a foothold on the west bank of the Jinluo River, but they suffered almost 16,000 casualties, and none of the floating bridges could be successfully built.

However, with the fierce attacks of the five Jinluo Imperial Army towns, the third town of Fuzhen suffered a great loss, even greater casualties than the five Jinluo Imperial Army towns. By the early morning of September 15, the war-capable soldiers in the third town of Fuzhen were less than 30,000, and there were faint signs of collapse.

Seeing this, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng discussed with each other, thinking that it would be too much of a loss to spend money with the Jinluo army. Relying on bows, arrows, powerful crossbows and bed crossbows, the Jinluo officers and soldiers who were riding on rafts across the river could not be shot and killed in the river.

There are a large number of Jinluo officers and soldiers who can ride on rafts, hold shields and climb to the shore, and fight in close combat with the soldiers of the Third Town of Fuzhen. This is also the main reason why the Third Town of Fuzhen lost more than 20,000 people overnight. After all, once the close combat is fought, the combat effectiveness of the Jinluo Imperial Army is far stronger than that of the Third Town of Fuzhen.

Just when Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Pan Zhang and Ding Feng were preparing to lead the third town of Fuzhen to abandon the defense line on the west bank of the Jinluo River and retreat to Jinluo City, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Dong Xi, and the powerful generals under the command of Li Bin, the four members of the Lingtong, led 50,000 people from the fourth town of Fuzhen to the west bank of the Jinluo River and came to support the third town of Fuzhen.

Last night, Guan Sheng sent cavalry back to Jinluo City and reported to Li Bin the situation of the attack on the west bank of the Jinluo River.

However, at this time Li Bin had received a reward from Xu Chu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Chen Wu. The other fifteen servants formed by the Fuzhen soldiers of the Jin Luo Kingdom were already controlled by the five. Now Xu Chu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Chen Wu were rushing towards Jin Luo City with more than 900,000 Fuzhen soldiers.

So at this time, Li Bin did not want the Jinluo Imperial Army on the east bank of the Jinluo River to arrive at the Jinluo City. In that case, more than 900,000 Fuzhen soldiers could not enter Jinluo City safely.

Although the Jinluo Imperial Guard on the east bank of the Jinluo River only has more than 100,000, if they fought outside Jinluo City, Li Bin felt that even more than 900,000 soldiers of the Fujun Army might not be able to defeat these more than 100,000 Jinluo Imperial Guards.

In addition, Xiahou Zhen, the emperor of Jinluo Kingdom, had sent Tian Zicheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites from the palace to start negotiations with Li Bin. If the Jinluo Imperial Army on the east bank of the Jinluo River can arrive outside Jinluo City a few days later, then the Jinluo Kingdom will inevitably bear greater pressure during the negotiations.

So Li Bin not only did not let the third town of Fuzhen retreat to Jinluo City, but also sent the fourth town of Fuzhen to the west bank of the Jinluo River. In any case, he would block the Jinluo Imperial Guard on the east bank of the Jinluo River for a few more days.

Xiahou Ben, the commander of the third town of Jinluo Imperial Army, saw another batch of rebels coming from the other side of the river, turned his head to Xiahou Ju, the commander of the first town of Jinluo Imperial Army, and said: "Uncle Fifth, I will personally take the guard camp to raft over in the next wave. We must grab a foothold as soon as possible!"

Xiahou Ju ranked fifth in the family, so Xiahou Ben called Xiahou Ju the fifth uncle.

Xiahou Ju's face was a little hesitant, "Delian, there are several powerful generals among the rebels on the other side of the river, so you must be careful!"

Delian is the face of Xiahou Ben.

A glimmer flashed in Xiahou Ben's eyes, "Don't worry, Uncle Fifth, with the personal guard camp here, even if you can't successfully grab a foothold, you can still protect me back to the east coast!"

The personal guard camp under Xiahou Ben is very famous in the entire Jinluo Imperial Guard. Although there are only more than 600 people in total, they are all fierce soldiers. There are even three master warriors and twelve Huajin warriors. Lin Xiang and Lin Hao were killed by a master warrior in Xiahou Ben's personal guard camp.

The new wave of attacks by the Jinluo Imperial Army was led by Xiahou Ben, the coach of the Third Town of the Jinluo Imperial Army. In addition to the more than 600 personal guards under his command, the officers and soldiers of a brigade of the Third Town of the Jinluo Imperial Army also paddled a raft and rushed towards the west bank of the Jinluo River.

It is not impossible for the Jinluo Imperial Army on the east bank to invest more troops in the attack. The problem is that the army under Li Bin firmly guards the river embankment on the west bank, so that even if the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers on the rafts could not rush up the river embankment on the west bank in batches and fight with the enemy in close combat.

With countless arrows, the raft that Xiahou Ben was riding finally approached the river bank on the west bank. Xiahou Ben then jumped off the raft, jumped into the river water that was not over his knees, waved a pair of iron halberds in his hand and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill all the rebels!"

At this time, several personal guards held shields and blocked Xiahou Ben's front, helping Xiahou Ben open the way in front.

Xiahou Ben's martial arts are indeed very good. When the Jinluo Imperial Army officers and soldiers who crossed the Jinluo River fought with the soldiers of Fuzhen No. 4 Town and Fuzhen No. 4 Town, Xiahou Ben waved a pair of iron halberds and soon killed dozens of people with his own hands. He led his personal guard camp to defeat the two battalions of Fuzhen No. 4 Town.

When Zhou Tai saw this group of Jin Luo's imperial guards bravely, he personally brought a battalion to support him. Soon Zhou Tai and Xiahou Ben actually started fighting each other.

Zhou Tai fought with Xiahou Ben for more than 40 moves but failed to decide the outcome. However, the camp brought by Zhou Tai was defeated again under the fierce attack of the personal guard camp under Xiahou Ben's command. Fortunately, Gan Ning brought another camp to supplement it at this time...

The fierce attack of the Jinluo Imperial Army continued until noon, and in the end it was still unable to grab a foothold on the west bank of the Jinluo River.

Xiahou Ju, the commander of the First Town of the Jinluo Imperial Army, looked at Xiahou Ben, covered in blood, and asked with concern: "Delian, are you injured?"

Xiahou Ben shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's all other people's blood. I'm not injured myself. However, my personal guard camp was disabled this time. Now there are only less than 200 people left. Sikong Sheng was also killed by a fierce general of the rebel army during the fierce battle."

Sikong Sheng was one of the three master warriors in the personal guard camp under Xiahou Ben, and was also a barbarian. He had been following Xiahou Ben for several years. He died at the hands of Gan Ning in the fierce battle on the river bank just now.

Xiahou Ju sighed and said, "Delian, you can retreat safely. I didn't expect that there were so many powerful generals in the rebels!"

Xiahou Ben gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that the news from Jinluo City before is indeed correct. This mutiny must have been caused by the Yan people. The powerful generals in the rebels should be all from Yan people!"

The Ministry of War of Jinluo State urgently transferred the first, third, fourth, twenty and twenty-first towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army to return to Jinluo City to suppress the rebellion, and also revealed to the commander of the five towns that the Yan generals participated in the mutiny, but did not mention Li Bin's name.

Xiahou Ju sighed helplessly, "It seems that it is not easy to cross the Jinluo River!"

The first, third, fourth, twenty and twenty-first towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army were still blocked on the east bank of the Jinluo River until the evening of September 17th. However, at this time, the eighteenth and nineteenth towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army, as well as about 40,000 wing troops, were joined with the above-mentioned five towns of the imperial guards.

The 18th and 19th towns of the Jinluo Imperial Army also suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Dayan army. The two towns together had only more than 40,000 people, and almost 80% were new recruits.

On September 17, more than 900,000 Fuzhen soldiers led by Xu Chu, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Chen Wu had arrived in Jinluo City.

Li Bin urgently drew a group of Dayan officers and soldiers from the First Town, Second Town and Fifth Town of Fuzhen, and hurriedly reorganized the Sixth Town of Fuzhen, the Seventh Town of Fuzhen, the Eighth Town of Fuzhen, and the Ninth Town of Fuzhen, each town had more than 56,000 troops.

Then Li Bin sent Fuzhen Sixth Town and Fuzhen Seventh Town to the west bank of the Jinluo River, and asked Fuzhen Eighth Town, Fuzhen Ninth Town and Fuzhen Fifth Town to guard the six gates of Jinluo City and the city walls of more than 260 miles, as well as important places in the city.

At the same time, Li Bin also dispatched a large number of Fuzhen soldiers to supplement the losses of Fuzhen Second Town and Fuzhen Third Town.

Although the Jinluo army on the east bank of the Jinluo River has increased a lot of troops, the troops of the defenders on the west bank have increased more, which has made the Jinluo Imperial Army's commanders feel a little desperate. Now they have confirmed that Jinluo City is occupied by rebels except for the imperial palace, and their Jinluo army, which is closest to Jinluo City, was blocked east of the Jinluo River by the rebels, and they can do nothing to the Jinluo City that is close to them.

After rushing to form four new Fushan Towns, Li Bin once again dispatched a large number of Dayan officers and soldiers, and then took this large number of Dayan officers and soldiers as the backbone, plus the remaining hundreds of thousands of Fushan soldiers, and began to form eleven new Fushan Towns at the same time in one breath.

While Li Bin expanded his army extensively, negotiations with Tian Zicheng, the right assistant minister of the Jinluo State Department of Rites, have also continued.

On the evening of September 17, in a hall at the official residence of the Ministry of Revenue of Jinluo State, Tian Zicheng, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, said to Li Bin with a bitter look on his face: "General Li, I don't know the third point..."

Before Tian Zicheng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Bin, "Mr. Tian, ​​I will not give in to the current five conditions. If you, the emperor of Jinluo Kingdom, will follow these five points. If you don't want to, I will order the attack on the palace as soon as tomorrow comes!"

After pausing, Li Bin said calmly: "I believe Lord Tian should already know that the first, third and fourth towns of your Jinluo Imperial Guard, and more than 100,000 other Jinluo troops were all blocked by the army under my command. If I want to capture the palace, I will definitely be able to capture it!"
