"Cabin, assault!" With a loud shout, Dian Wei took the lead, swung a pair of iron halberds, and broke into the camp of the Yizhou official army like a flock of sheep. The frightened Yizhou official army saw Dian Wei rushing over as black as an iron tower and as crazy as a god of killing, and fled in fear for a moment.

The war horses were speeding, fast, Dian Wei was faster, and his goal was clearer. When he was raising his hand, he saw an iron halberd swing, and his power was heavy and a blow, and he rushed straight to Zhang Yi. A sharp and strange sound burst out in the air, and the sound of the wind roared, which was a terrifying power that exploded the space.

Zhang Yi was defeated by Gan Ning before and had lost his courage and spirit. At this moment, he suddenly saw Dian Wei, who was as fierce as a vicious person, and he couldn't even think of resisting. He just wanted to avoid it, but Dian Wei was extremely fast and came in front of him in the blink of an eye. Where could he have the opportunity to retreat?

"Crack!" Accompanied by a muffled sound, the heavy iron halberd fell and hit Zhang Yi's face. A terrifying force erupted. Zhang Yi was smashed to pieces on the spot and was completely gone. Half of his head was smashed into pieces.

Next to him, many Yizhou official soldiers suddenly saw such a bloody and cruel scene, and they all broke their hearts and screamed and rushed to flee.

"Kill!" Dian Wei shouted angrily, leading his troops to kill and move forward, accompanied by the horse's hooves, and his iron halberds roared through the air with both hands, and the soldiers of the Yizhou official army who were blocking him fell one after another. The evil of ancient times came, and he was unstoppable and no one could defeat him.

"Hahahaha! General Dian is so brave!" Although he was seriously injured, Gan Ning felt extremely happy at this moment. The attack of five thousand elite cavalry not only relieved the fatal crisis of his vanguard army, but also had the possibility of defeating the other side!

"Soldiers, reinforcements, and even prepare to fight back!" After all, he was the general of the commander-in-chief. At the critical moment, Gan Ning still controlled his mind, seized the opportunity, and shouted.

This shout came out, which not only greatly boosted the morale of the five hundred Taiping soldiers who had cut off the rear, but also caused the Yizhou official army to fall into panic.

First, both of their generals died under Gan Ning's sword, and now there was suddenly such an elite cavalry reinforcement. The Yizhou official army, which originally had the upper hand, was defeated in the blink of an eye. The remaining defeated generals were completely unable to resist the impact of the five thousand elite cavalry of the Taiping Army. In a short while, countless casualties and injuries were killed or injured. Some of them had even begun to drop their weapons, either kneel down to surrender, or turn around and run away!

Seeing this, Li Yan couldn't help but look as if he was ashen. He had to say that the five thousand Taiping elite cavalry had come too badly. If he was not an opponent after he annihilated Gan Ning, he would at least have the power to fight with his large number of people and power. But at this moment, even though he was determined to organize the soldiers to fight back, he still seemed too powerless to face the impact of the elite cavalry.

The soldiers of the Taiping Army are no better than ordinary government troops. Since the Taiping Army's uprising, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Jingzhou and even Yizhou have been constantly fighting. The soldiers have only undergone rigorous training and have been baptized by the war and transformed into real soldiers.

Under the leadership of Dian Wei, the powerful combat power of the five thousand elite cavalry of the Taiping Army was so powerful that it was unstoppable. It launched a cold massacre against the Yizhou official army that was fighting stubbornly!

The 20,000 Yizhou official troops collapsed and dissipated in the blink of an eye. Li Yan's disciples could not help but lead hundreds of defeated soldiers and retreat to Luocheng with the cover of the darkness and the advantage of familiar territoriality.

Dian Wei led his army to chase and kill, Gan Ning took away the captives of the defeated Yizhou army with injuries. In this battle, although more than half of the vanguard army was killed or injured, more than half of the 30,000 Yizhou official troops were killed or injured, and 13,000 people became prisoners, controlled by the Taiping Army, and sent to Ba County.

Soon, the vanguard army led by Wei Yan also arrived here and joined the Ganning army. In addition, Dian Wei, a total of 20,000 troops advanced directly under Luocheng and began to set up camps.

Because of the previous encounter, they knew that the Yizhou official army was ready to confront the Taiping Army on the front line of Luocheng. Now, the Yizhou official army has gathered a large number of troops on the front line of Luocheng. Gan Ning was severely damaged. Although Wei Yan and Dian Wei were brave, it was impossible to break through Luocheng with heavy troops.

In a few days, Xiao Lan personally led a large army. The vanguard and the rear army had already reached 80,000, which was no worse than the power of the attack on Sishui Pass that day.

That night, Xiao Lan summoned the generals to discuss matters in the central army's tent. Even a young general stepped forward and reported respectfully: "Report to the general, over the years, the Yizhou army has gathered on the front line of Luocheng. The number of official troops gathered in Luocheng alone has exceeded 40,000, and each has military camp on both sides, with no less than 20,000 troops!"

A rough calculation shows that the number of Yizhou official troops gathered was already 80,000. Moreover, as a defender, the Yizhou official troops completely had a geographical advantage. Under the same force, there would naturally be great advantages.

"Huh?" With a deep thought, a gleam suddenly flashed in Xiao Lan's eyes. He thought that if he broke Luocheng, he would have the opportunity to fight the Yizhou official army, but he did not expect that the Yizhou official army would be much more active than he imagined. This would be fine. As long as he annihilates these Yizhou official army, then the entire Yizhou would have no power to resist the Taiping Army's edge.

"What are the commanders of Yizhou?" Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "But there are any people worthy of attention, and they must not be underestimated."

Wei Yan immediately stepped out and responded in a deep voice: "Report to the lord, the commander of the Yizhou official army is Jia Long, the military commander of Yizhou. In addition, Li Yan and Zhang Ren who had previously planned to plot against General Gan Ning, should not be underestimated."

"Jia Long? Li Yan? Zhang Ren?" Xiao Lan had heard of these names and knew that they were all rare commanders in Yizhou. However, although he would be vigilant, he would not be afraid at all. After all, he firmly believed that in the face of absolute power, no matter how capable the other party was, he could not stop his military attack.

"Yes, it's them." Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "This time, the Yizhou official army gathered in large numbers, and seemed to have intended to block our army here and fight a decisive battle with our army. The day before yesterday, they had already begun a tentative attack on our camps, but they were all defeated."

On the side, Xun You couldn't help frowning. After thinking for a while, he asked, "General Wei Yan, what are the flags of the troops and horses that came to test the attack on the camp? Have you seen it clearly?"

"This" Wei Yan was stunned at first, then thought about it carefully, then raised his head and responded: "If this is the last general, there seems to be a flag of the "Wu" among the soldiers who came to test!"

"'Wu'?" Xun You couldn't help but frowned again. After a while, he laughed softly: "According to the information collected by our army, there are not many generals named Wu in Yizhou! It seems that there are only two people with some identities, one is Wu Lan and the other is Wu Yi! However, they are not in the same faction as Jia Long. It seems that Liu Yan has made a desperate attempt this time and has handed all the troops in Yizhou to Jia Long, so that he can gather such a large number of troops."

"Very good!" Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "Yizhou's terrain is steep, and attacking cities one by one is not a good thing for our army. Now, they concentrate their troops, but they just give us a chance to defeat the enemy. As long as they defeat this official army, there will be no need to spend any effort to capture Yizhou."

Xun You smiled and said, "What the lord said is right. Although Jia Long gathered the troops in Yizhou and his strength seemed to have increased significantly, there are many factions within the Yizhou army and many conflicts. Although there are tens of thousands of troops, it is easier to defeat it. As long as you use a little trick, it will be effective!"

"Oh?" Xiao Lan chuckled softly, "The war is coming, what can I do to teach me?"

"Haha..." After hearing Xiao Lan's questioning, Xun You immediately chuckled and said calmly: "Don't be anxious, lord! Although there is no way to break the city, my subordinates already have a way to break down the Yizhou official army and achieve results soon... (To be continued...)
