Captain Chen directly seized control of the Yongzhou Army. At the same time, he controlled the Yongzhou prefect as a puppet, made him work for him, and proclaimed himself the mighty and brave general.

After the Yongzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army merged, there were only 70,000 troops.

Just as the two armies were integrated, the Northern Barbarian Army arrived!

General Chen looked at the densely packed Northern Barbarian army of over 100,000 people outside the city and had no intention of resisting at all.

After emptying the granary under the cover of night, he led his army and retreated directly to Lizhou, and then took over Bingzhou.

Lizhou and Bingzhou had few troops, only 10,000 in total, but all the food and grass in the city were taken away by General Chen.

Behind him is the most important Cangzhou Prefecture, with a military force of up to 150,000.

As the Northern Barbarian Army was in front of them, General Chen decisively chose to lead his troops to escape to the mountains.

He attempted to let the Northern Barbarian Army directly confront the Cangzhou Prefecture's army, while he himself hid in the dark and watched the fire from the other side.

General Chen's rebellion.

...

...

This directly led to the large-scale massacre of the people in the three cities of Yongzhou, Lizhou and Bingzhou by the Northern Barbarian army.

Only a few people managed to escape.

The secret letters and battle reports from Cangzhou prefect Cheng Zongyi were sent back to the capital one by one, but no response was received.

Without food and military support, the only oral order they received was to defend Cangzhou to the death and not let anyone enter the city.

As the Northern Barbarian Army continued to approach.

Cangzhou prefect Cheng Zongyi became more and more desperate!

but.

Cangzhou Prefecture is the last pass of the capital. If Cangzhou is broken, Dayong will be finished.

Cangzhou Prefecture has a special geographical location, making it an excellent place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Therefore, Cheng Zongyi firmly believed that His Majesty would not stand idly by and hand over his kingdom to others.

The Northern Barbarian army suffered almost no casualties and easily advanced into the heart of Dayong.

"General, according to the news sent by our allies, the troops from Qingzhou to Bingzhou have not been incorporated into Cangzhou Prefecture."

"Cangzhou Prefecture only has 150,000 soldiers. Once our other two armies return, we will be able to capture Cangzhou Prefecture soon."

Deputy General Eng handed the letter he had just received to General Bogda for review.

"Well, is there any news about Torre and Bagtu? How long will it take for them to join us?"

"There is no news from Tore for now, but Bagtu sent news that he has reached Wuzhou Prefecture and will probably be able to join us in three days."

"Three days is too long. Our food and supplies won't last long. Let him fight quickly and come to join us as soon as possible."

"And that damn bastard actually emptied several cities."

"They cut off our supply route for food and grass. They deserve to die. Have you found out who did it?" Bogda asked, suppressing his anger.

"General, I have checked. The ally said it was a captain named Chen from Qingzhou. He designed to annex the military forces of several prefectures, and finally disappeared after appearing in Bingzhou."

"Humph, you clown, you actually want me to fight with Cangzhou first to consume our troops, and then you can wait and see? You need my consent!"

Bogda quickly guessed what Captain Chen was thinking and looked down on him.

"General, you are wise. I have already sent people to gather information about that army in the surrounding area. I believe there will be results soon." Enger flattered.

It is definitely not easy to hide a huge army of nearly 100,000 soldiers.

It only takes a little time to find the traces left by the other party.

"Don't be idle these days. Go to all the places around where you can find grass. I need enough food and grass to prepare for the final battle." Bogda ordered without any emotion.

"Yes, General! I will take my leave!"

The other side.

After being bombarded repeatedly by Shen Shuli, the Tore army was defeated by the Qinzhou army.

Of the 30,000 powerful Northern Barbarian soldiers, only 8,000 managed to escape.

They had no time to take the food and fodder they brought with them, as they were all looted by the Qinzhou army.

General Torre was ambushed and had one leg broken. He also suffered serious internal injuries and his condition kept recurring.

The person is still in a coma.

In order to take care of Tore's injuries, the team temporarily retreated to Yingze County to recuperate for several days.

The army is temporarily supervised and commanded by deputy generals Xiongta and Wuen.

Qinzhou had so many hidden weapons with extremely high lethality that the team was beaten down to only about 8,000 people, and was unable to capture Qinzhou Prefecture.

The only choice was to go back and join the main force from Yongzhou.

In the direction of Yongzhou, Bogda has cleared the road all the way.

There were no obstacles along the way, and Tore's army moved very quickly. They had already arrived in Bingzhou smoothly and were about to join the main force.

.

Capital city.

The Su family, the Shen family and the bodyguard were almost healed after two days of rest.

In the past two days, Shen Shuli used diluted Lingquan water and Lingquan medicinal wine on all the wounded.

In the evening, Shen Yuebai, Su Ping'an, Shen Ziqian and Shen Zihao will be given a separate medicinal bath in the spiritual spring water.

Just two days.

The four of them have changed a lot.

Su Ping'an's already strong physique became even stronger after being tempered by the spiritual spring water.

Even my understanding has improved a lot.

He also learned all the tricks that Shen Shuli had taught Su Ping'an before.

He even learned the basics of Fire Cloud Technique.

He has made the fastest progress among the four.

Shen Ziqian and Shen Zihao have similar talents, and their progress is at a similar rate.

The oldest, Shen Yuebai, is the slowest.

But he had been practicing martial arts before and had a solid foundation, so his understanding of the skills was faster than Shen Ziqian and Shen Zihao.

He was the second person to start practicing Fire Cloud Art after Su Ping'an.

Shen Ziqian and Shen Zihao still haven't reached the threshold.

After this crisis.

The two families once again witnessed the horror of the human world.

I originally thought that bandits were difficult to deal with.

I didn't expect that there would be an internal martial arts master who is more unfathomable than these crude bandits.

The gap between the two sides is so huge!

No need to urge.

Men, women, young and old, all take time to exercise their bodies.

Even the extremely spoiled Shen Ziyu felt frightened after facing several crises.

His arrogant nature was restrained a little, and in order to save his life, he ran around the yard very seriously to exercise.

And these two days.

Chen Shuli would go to the cell every morning to bring food to Mu Wanjun.

But Shen Shuli discovered that the wound on Mu Wanjun's face did not heal faster. The wound was still horrible and hideous, with no signs of healing.

"What's wrong with your face? The spiritual spring water I gave you has no effect?" Shen Shuli was puzzled and couldn't help but question the effectiveness of the spiritual spring water in her heart.

"It's useless for me. We are still in the capital. I'm worried that I'll recover too quickly and be discovered and sent to that kind of place. It's not too late to get treatment after we're far away from the capital." Mu Wanjun explained indifferently.

Hearing this, Shen Shuli couldn't help but feel sorry for her best friend.

"Okay, you are still thoughtful. By the way, how is Xie Chengyuan's injury?" Shen Shuli asked.

She came to the cell specifically to see Princess An Rong and didn't want to be openly involved with the Xie family.

So she never stopped in front of the male prisoners' cells, not even a glance at them.

"I don't know, and I didn't ask much, but I asked my father to secretly give Xie Chengyuan the spiritual spring water you gave me. I think it can at least save his life." Mu Wanjun's chubby cheeks were filled with worry.

"You are very generous. What I gave to you, you gave to others. Here, this water bag is all pure. You can use it as you wish."

Shen Shuli stuffed another water bag into her best friend’s pocket before leaving the cell.
