"Report! General, our western logistics camp has been attacked by enemy cavalry, and our supplies have been burned!"
"Where did these enemy cavalry come from?"
Li Hu was also taken aback.
Before they could react, deafening battle cries and the distinctive howls of the Qiang and Rong people came from the north, as if a large army was attacking.
"Oh no! Could it be that Zhao Muyun's reinforcements have arrived?" Yang Yi's heart sank.
Just as the Xijing army's front-line troops were in turmoil due to the chaos in their rear and flanks, and their offensive stalled!
"Boom—!"
The sound of horses' hooves, like muffled thunder, suddenly rang out from the southwest!
Wu Shangzhi took the lead, leading three thousand well-rested and prepared Hedong Iron Cavalry, like a flood bursting its banks, and crashed hard into the flank and rear of the main force of the Xijing army attacking the city!
"Reinforcements have arrived! Charge!"
Zhang Zan and Liu Yi on the city wall saw it clearly. Although they were unsure how many reinforcements had arrived, this was the best opportunity to boost morale!
Zhang Zan immediately ordered: "Open the city gates! Everyone who can move, follow me and charge out! To meet the reinforcements!"

Caught off guard, the Xijing army was fiercely attacked from the flank and rear by Pei Lun's cavalry, while the defenders launched a desperate counterattack from the front, instantly plunging them into great chaos!
Especially those troops that were attacking the city were unable to support each other, their organization was disrupted, and they were all routed.
Yang Yi and Li Hu tried their best to suppress the situation, but the defeat was already evident and difficult to reverse.
Seeing that the troops were in danger of collapsing, the two had no choice but to grit their teeth and order: "Retreat! The entire army retreats to the camp!"
The Xijing army retreated like a receding tide, leaving behind corpses and siege equipment scattered everywhere.
Wu Shangzhi and Zhang Zan met up amidst the chaos of battle. Without time for pleasantries, they immediately joined forces and launched a surprise attack, driving the Xijing army back to their main camp and burning down many of the outer camps before finally withdrawing to the city.
The siege of Liangzhou has been temporarily relieved.
However, the main force of the Xijing army did not suffer a fatal blow and continued to firmly besiege Liangzhou.
