The reinforcements coming to Jiangding City were led by Zhou Yu, the commander of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate. In addition to the Seventh Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate and the Eighth Guard of the Imperial Guard, the remaining six external guards of the Imperial Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate all came to Jiangding City. In addition, there were eight palace military towns and twenty-eight towns in the reinforcements.

Xiangbing Town is a temporary organization established by the Southern Barbarian Protectorate to deal with the Biyue Kingdom this time. Each Xiangbing Town has five village brigades, and each village brigade has five village brigades. Each town brigade has two teams of spearmen, three teams of swords and axemen and three teams of crossbowmen.

With some direct troops of the township town and township brigade, the troops in each township can reach about 55,000 people like Fubing Town.

The generals and officers of the twenty-eight towns and towns were all drawn from the imperial guards and the soldiers of the towns and the soldiers of the twenty-eight towns and towns, and the commanders and deputy commanders of the imperial guards and towns were also appointed by the commanders and deputy commanders of the imperial guards and the soldiers of the towns and towns.

For example, Zhou Yu also served as the head commander of the No. 1 town and the Second Town of the Township of the Nanman Protectorate. Zhou Yu was under his command of the two deputy commanders of the First Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Southern Man Protectorate, and the Second Town of the Township of the South Man Protectorate.

The six outer guards and eight prefecture-built towns are equivalent to having two subordinate troops of the township-built towns.

In the commander's tent of the Nanjun camp outside the town of Jiangding City, Zhou Yu could not help but sigh after hearing Li Hongyi's report: "Thanks to General Li led the military and civilians to defend Jiangding City for more than half a month, preventing the Biyue army from continuing to advance to the hinterland of our Southern Barbarian Protectorate. At the same time, it also bought precious time for our army to assemble. This battle to defend Jiangding City will surely be remembered forever!"

Li Hongyi smiled bitterly and said, "Emister, I, Li Hongyi, dare not take credit for this battle to defend Jiangding City. I, Li Hongyi, dared not take credit for my life. After half a month's battle to defend the city, the young and strong in Jiangding City were almost completely injured and killed. In the last two days, my subordinates even organized all the women in Jiangding City and went up to the city wall to participate in the city defense. The battle was so miserable."

Zhou Yu said loudly: "The people of Jiangding City will not die in vain. Our Zhennan Army will definitely return this hatred thousands of times from the Biyue Kingdom. Now the Grand Governor's Office has decided to take advantage of the Biyue Kingdom's invasion to counterattack Biyue Kingdom and strive to swallow this ungrateful country in one bite!"

After pausing, Zhou Yu said to Li Hongyi: "General Li, the lord has appointed you as the commander of the Ninth Mansion of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate. The Protectorate will fill the vacancy of the Ninth Mansion Town as soon as possible, so that the Ninth Mansion Town has a chance to avenge the people who died in Jiangding City on the battlefield!"

Li Hongyi was so happy when he heard that he was appointed as the commander of the Ninth Mansion Town. As expected, Binzi was still very interested. He had just joined the Zhennan Army for more than a year and had become the commander of the First Army. You must know that even the direct descendants of the top generals were rare to become the commander of the First Army.

"Empress, my subordinates will restore their combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and personally lead the Ninth Mansion Town to avenge the people of Jiangding City who are dead!"

Zhou Yu led the army and did not stay in Jiangding City for too long. After only two days of rest, he chased the middle army of Biyue Kingdom.

And outside Xideng City in Jiangding County, he caught up with the middle army of Biyue Kingdom, or the middle army of Biyue Kingdom. In Xideng City, he finally waited for the main force of Zhennan Army in the Nanman Protectorate Mansion.

At this time, the middle army of Biyue Kingdom had already received support from the 20 Guards and 30 Guards' Mansions in Biyue Kingdom. In addition to the remaining troops of the 20 Guards and 20 Guards' Mansions, as well as the remaining 400,000 Western Barbarians, the total strength of the middle army of Biyue Kingdom had reached about two million.

However, what Su You, the Central Army, never expected was that the Zhennan Army of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, could gather about 2.3 million troops in a short time to launch a decisive battle with the Central Army under Su You.

Standing on the wall of Xideng City, Su You looked at the endless Zhennan Army camp in the distance, couldn't help but take a breath, turned his head and asked several generals: "Have you figured out how many soldiers and horses the Zhennan Army has arrived?"

Leng Xing, the commander of the first guard of the Imperial Guard of Biyue Kingdom, immediately said in a deep voice: "Master, according to the information from the Ministry of War, the Zhennan Army has recruited a large number of young and strong men from all counties of the Nanman Protectorate, so the Ministry of War cannot figure out how many soldiers and horses the Zhennan Army currently has in the Nanman Protectorate, and also has not figured out how many Zhennan Army has come to Xideng City."

Su You frowned and asked, "What's the situation with the left and right side of the teacher?"

Leng Xing replied: "At present, the army on the left is attacking Xiantang City, and the army on the right is attacking Bosha City. However, the Zhennan Army has strong troops in these two cities and it will be difficult to conquer in a short period of time."

Xiantang City is the county town of Xiantang County, and Bosha City is the county town of Bosha County. The three armies of Biyue Kingdom each invaded a county of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate.

Su You pondered for a moment and said, "Since Zhennan Army has so many troops in the Nanman Protectorate, it will be meaningless for us to divide the troops again. We immediately ordered the left and right side divisions to retreat to Xideng City immediately, meet with our middle army, and face the main force of the Zhennan Army together."

However, just when Su You decided to let the left and right troops retreat to Xideng City, the left and right troops of Biyue Kingdom had already encountered great trouble.

On May 4, 3rd year of Ruikang, the left army of Biyue Kingdom, which was besieging Xiantang City, suddenly appeared around hundreds of thousands of Zhennan Army, and even the rear route was cut off by Zhennan Army.

The Zhennan Army that appeared around Xiantang City, including the Seventh Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, the Thirteenth Guard of the Imperial Army, and the Six Temporary Townships, reached a total of 420,000 troops.

The left-wing army of Biyue Kingdom has a total of five guards, five guards, and 100,000 Western Barbarians and Vine Armored Soldiers, totaling 300,000 soldiers and horses.

However, the left army of Biyue Kingdom had previously conquered three counties in Xiantang County, and stationed more than 10,000 people in these three counties. In addition, the losses when attacking these three counties and the losses when attacking Xiantang City, the left army of Biyue Kingdom now has only about 220,000 people left.

The commander of the left army of Biyue Kingdom was Cao An, the left-hand man from the Ministry of War. When he learned that the rear route was cut off by the Zhennan Army, he immediately ordered the stop to attack Xiantang City. The entire army retreated to the west and tried to defeat the Zhennan Army that cut off the rear route.

The rear of the army on the left side of the Biyue Kingdom was the Seventh Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, and the commander was Xiahou Dun. Xiahou Dun was also the temporary commander of all the troops in the towns of Xiantang City.

"Marson, the two heavy cavalry brigades of our Imperial Guard's 54th Guard and the Imperial Guard's 55th Guard have been defeated by the heavy cavalry of the Zhennan Army!" A general reported in a deep voice to Cao An, commander of the left army of the Biyue Kingdom.

When Cao An heard this, his brows frowned. The two heavy cavalry brigades of the 54th Guard of the Imperial Guard and the 55th Guard of the Imperial Guard were said to be the ace troops of the left army. In the siege these days, these two heavy cavalry brigades have not participated in the battle. When they learned that the rear route was cut off, Cao An sent these two heavy cavalry brigades out, hoping to defeat the Zhennan Army troops blocking the rear route.

"How many heavy cavalry did Zhennan Army participate in the war?"

"Report to the Marshal, the heavy cavalry unit that the Zhennan Army participated in the battle was comparable to the two heavy cavalry brigades of our two heavy cavalry brigades. However, the combat power of the Zhennan Army's heavy cavalry is far above our two heavy cavalry brigades. The heavy cavalry of the Zhennan Army almost did not take much effort to defeat my two heavy cavalry brigades."

Cao An gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how much the price you pay, you have to open a gap as soon as possible. I will go to the front to supervise the battle!"

When Cao An arrived at the frontier battlefield, he realized how difficult it was to open a gap on the defense line of the Zhennan Army.

The Seventh Guard of the Imperial Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate had three brigades of heavy cavalry and two brigades of heavy infantry. Xiahou Dun directly sent the three brigades of heavy cavalry to the front, while the two brigades of heavy infantry set up formations behind.

As a result, the troops fighting on the left-wing army of Biyue Kingdom could not pass the level of three heavy cavalry brigades, and were easily defeated. If Xiahou Dun had not wanted the three heavy cavalry brigades under his command to suffer too much casualties, perhaps only these three heavy cavalry brigades could destroy the remaining more than 200,000 troops on the left-wing army of Biyue Kingdom.

After Cao An arrived at the frontier battlefield, he organized several more attacks, but they were easily resolved by the three heavy cavalry brigades of the Seventh Guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate.

Soon, other Zhennan troops appeared around the left army of Biyue Kingdom. On the evening of May 3, the remaining 200,000 troops on the left army of Biyue Kingdom were completely surrounded by more than 400,000 Zhennan troops.

The two brigades of the 10th Dubing Town of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate were stationed in Xiantang City. There were about 50,000 township soldiers and more than 30,000 young and strong men to help defend the city. After the reinforcements arrived, the defenders in Xiantang City also sent a brigade of Dubing and more than 30,000 township soldiers out of the city and participated in the battle to encircle and annihilate the left army of Biyue Kingdom.

Therefore, the Zhennan Army, which besieged the left army of Biyue Kingdom, suddenly had a force of 460,000.

During the day on May 4th, the main force of the left-wing army of Biyue Kingdom tried to break through from several directions, but were blocked by the Zhennan Army troops.

On the evening of May 4th, Cao An, the commander of the left army of Biyue Kingdom, suddenly received a message that made him collapse. The approximately 65,000 Western Barbarian Vine Armored soldiers surrounded with Biyue's army actually surrendered to the Zhennan Army under the leadership of several Western Barbarian generals.

On the morning of May 5, Cao An summoned the imperial guards and soldiers of the left army, and led the generals above the brigade, and then said to these generals in a hoarse voice: "The Zhennan Army just sent me a letter of persuasion to surrender. I wonder what you have to do with this?"

Dozens of generals looked at each other, and all lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

Cao An then smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighed and said, "For the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers, it seems that this crime can only be borne by me. I decided to lead the left army to surrender to the Zhennan Army. Is anyone unwilling to?"

"The marshal is wise, and now he will be able to destroy the entire army if he continues to fight."

"I agree with the Marshal's decision. The Western barbarians surrendered. With the remaining hundreds of thousands of people, we are not the opponents of the South Army of the Zhennan Army!"

"Yes! Yes! Zhennan Army is so powerful, it's better to surrender."

After Cao An said that he was preparing to surrender to the Zhennan Army, dozens of generals from the left army expressed their consent.

Cao An said with a sad look: "Then send someone to contact the Zhennan Army! Your Majesty shouldn't take the initiative to provoke the Zhennan Army of Yan State!"

Just as the left army of Biyue Kingdom surrendered to the Zhennan Army, the right army of Biyue Kingdom was also surrounded by the Zhennan Army.

The commander of the right army of Biyue Kingdom was Gong Feng, the right-hand man from the Ministry of War. Before he led the right army to attack Bosha City, he also captured two county towns in Bosha County.

The Zhennan Army, which surrounded the right army of Biyue Kingdom, was composed of the eighth guard of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, the 14th guard of the Imperial Army and the six towns. Xiahou Yuan, the commander of the eighth guard of the Imperial Army, served as the temporary commander of the Imperial Army, the one town and the six towns.

Gong Feng was much tougher than Cao An. He led the right army of Biyue Kingdom outside Bosha City to fight with hundreds of thousands of Zhennan Army for two days. However, in the end, the main force of the right army of Biyue Kingdom did not break through the encirclement of Zhennan Army. More than 50,000 Western barbarians and more than 100,000 Biyue troops, saw that there was no hope of breaking through, and chose to surrender to Zhennan Army one after another.

Gong Feng, the commander of the right army of Biyue Kingdom, was stabbed to death by several generals under his command because he refused to order surrender.

After annihilated the left and right divisions of the Biyue Kingdom entering the Southern Barbarian Protectorate's Mansion, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan each led hundreds of thousands of troops to easily recover the five counties occupied by the Biyue army.

Immediately afterwards, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan did not lead their troops to Xideng City in Jiangding County to join Zhou Yu, but directly led their army to attack Shouzhou Prefecture of Biyue Kingdom.

In the palace of the capital of Biyue Kingdom, Emperor Huo Xian shouted angrily: "That corrupt Cao'an, I'm going to kill his nine clans! Gong Feng is also a waste. He has been in his hands for more than 200,000 troops. He has only lasted for two days, and even more than 200,000 pigs, he has not been defeated so quickly!"

Prime Minister Yao Lian said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty calms down. Now the two armies of Zhennan Army have attacked Shouzhou Prefecture. It seems that we can only leave the troops prepared to continue to reinforce the middle army in Shouzhou Prefecture to resist the two armies of Zhennan Army."

The new government troops of the 100 guards of the Biyue Kingdom have just begun to be formed, but in order to support the central army in the battle with the main force of the Zhennan Army of the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, the Ministry of War of the Biyue Kingdom has gathered the Ten Guards and the Fifteen Guards of the Ten Guards in Shouzhou Prefecture, including the Ten Guards and the Ten Guards of the Ten Guards, all of which are prepared to be sent to the Central Army.

Emperor Huo Xian immediately said: "Let the Ministry of War mobilize more troops from Shouzhou Prefecture as soon as possible to destroy the two armies of Zhennan Army. In addition, the formation of the new army of the other 100 guards must also be accelerated. Now, after the Zhennan Army issued a mobilization order in the Southern Barbarian Protectorate, the strength of our Biyue Kingdom is obviously not enough."

Prime Minister Yao Lian hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty, do you need to hire some troops from the Western Barbarians?"

Emperor Huo Xian said flatly: "Those Western Barbarians are unreliable. If the Western Barbarians had not surrendered first, they might not have ended up being destroyed by the entire army."
