At this moment, the previously deadlocked battlefield was instantly reversed due to the appearance of Liu Wei's banner.

Liu Wei's army was well-equipped, had strong troop types, and was brave in battle.

Moreover, they were among the top cavalry forces of their time: the Beiwei Army, the Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, the Doyan Three Guards, and the White-Robed Army.

There is also a guard battalion selected from among the elite Xuanjia cavalry.

Apart from Zhang Yan and Murong Muyan in the southwest, who are struggling to fight, the northwest and northeast have gained the upper hand and are advancing rapidly.

The appearance of Liu Wei's banner has greatly boosted their morale and inspired them to soar.

With a prince and a commander leading the charge, what reason do they have to retreat?

Suddenly, Qiu Liju and Murong Mohuba felt immense pressure.

Qiu Liju faced three fierce generals, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and lost more than ten centurions in succession.

These centurions who went up to confront the general either had a hole punched in their heads, were cleaved in two by a cold-blooded saw, or were the luckiest ones had their heads split open by an axe, their brains splattering everywhere.

The other centurions were terrified and dared not go up again.

Upon seeing Liu Wei's banner appear, Zhang Liao and his two generals became even more excited and commanded their troops to fight bravely.

Meanwhile, Murong Mohuba led 20,000 Murong Xianbei cavalry to fight against Zhao Yun, Wang Fangyi, Liu Du, and others, while Zhang Chun also sent 10,000 infantrymen to cheer them on.

But he still didn't get much better.

As soon as the battle began, the hundred Dayuan cavalrymen, like Sun Wukong, burrowed into the heart of Murong Mohuba's cavalry formation, stirring it up and tearing it apart.

A young general in white robes and wielding a silver spear, leading five hundred cavalrymen, was like a dragon stirring up the river.

A silver spear was wielded, creating a death barrier that spared no one.

Murong Mohuba wanted to divide his forces into 10,000 to outflank the rear, but instead encountered a nightmarish array of arrows.

Three hundred paces away, countless arrows rained down like a storm.

Hundreds and thousands of Xianbei cavalrymen were covered in arrows like hedgehogs, and even their warhorses were not spared.

Their arrows were accurate and deadly, easily piercing the bodies of Xianbei cavalrymen wearing sheepskin coats or cowhide armor.

Of the 10,000 cavalrymen, 30% were lost in just a quarter of an hour.

The open space between the Xianbei cavalry and the Han archer formation was covered with arrows, as if it were overgrown with thatch.

Just as they were getting close, another group of Xianbei cavalry suddenly appeared from the side; it turned out to be Yuwen Lie's troops.

We are all born of the same root, why are we so eager to harm each other!

However, war is not a time for romance or sweet nothings.

Even among people of the same race, once they choose different sides, they can only fight each other with real swords and guns!

After Yuwen Lie followed Li Su to Dai County and persuaded Yuwen Yong to submit, Li Su reorganized the Xianbei cavalry of the Yuwen tribe in Dai County.

After reorganizing 5,000 troops, Yuwen Yong, knowing his cousin's abilities, voluntarily withdrew and let Yuwen Lie take command of the troops.

Yuwen Lie had been under house arrest in Hetao for half a year, and now, because of Liu Wei's trust, he was working extra hard.

Without further ado, let's get started!

Yuwen Lie's five thousand Yuwen tribesmen and the remaining seven thousand Murong Xianbei tribesmen clashed in a chaotic battle.

Perhaps there was some unfulfilled desire between the two, which made them fight even harder in this battle.

In the battlefield of cold weapons, the number of people is not the only factor in war. Timing, terrain, equipment, quality, tactics, morale, and so on all affect the balance of victory or defeat.

Although the 20,000 Xianbei cavalry and 10,000 rebels were numerous, they might not be able to withstand the charge of the top-tier cavalry and archers.

However, when they saw Liu Wei's banner appear on the vast plains, they were even more excited, and their morale soared!

Murong Mohuba's troops retreated repeatedly, unable to withstand the onslaught.

Outside Jixian City, on the vast battlefield, the scales of victory had tipped in favor of the Han army.

Meanwhile, in Jixian City, Yan Rou, Xianyu Fu, and Xianyu Yin, along with a thousand remaining soldiers and the people of Jixian, fought a night of street fighting against the rebels, leaving them exhausted.

The raging fire also destroyed half of Jixian County.

Although more than half of the houses were reduced to rubble, they successfully defended Ji County and prevented the rebels from completely occupying it.

The shouts of battle coming from all directions outside the city brought tears to Yan Rou and the others' eyes, and they embraced and wept.

The sacrifices and efforts of that night were not in vain.

"Yan Sima, let's fight our way out!"

"Yes, fight our way out and avenge the young master and the fallen soldiers!"

The soldiers around Yan Rou no longer looked tired; their eyes gleamed with a thirst for revenge.

Of the five thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians in Ji County, only a thousand remnants and a group of women, children and the sick and disabled remain.

Moreover, Liu He, the son of Governor Liu, who was left to guard Ji County, also died under a hail of arrows from the rebel army.

Seeing the expectant looks on everyone's faces, Yan Rou nodded emphatically: "Let's have a good meal and then charge out to drive the rebels out of the four gates!"

"We must take back Ji County before the governor arrives!"

The crowd readily agreed and dispersed, leaving Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin behind, their faces grave.

"Sima Yan, have you figured out how to explain the young master's matter to the governor?"

"It was my negligence in protecting you that led to your death by arrow. After the great battle, I will commit suicide before the governor to atone for my sins," Yan Rou said sadly.

"If you hadn't gone to the city gate for me, how could I have been shot by an arrow?"

Seeing that Yan Rou was going to atone for her sins with her death, Xianyu Yin felt very ashamed and shouted, "The one who should apologize is me!"

"I also bear responsibility!"

Xianyu Fu said, "Minister Yan, the three of us survived several days of bloody fighting in Ji County. If we are to apologize, we will do it together!"

"Good brother!" Yan Rou was deeply moved. "Let's drive away the rebels first!"

......

Meanwhile, scouts from all directions continuously reported the battle situation to Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju in the central army camp.
