On the day when the Xuanjia Army was dispatched, the Chiwei Army had already arrived in Anzhou City. Chen Yongnian led the left-ranking guard, a total of 60,000 left-mart guards, stationed in Anzhou City. He received a letter written by King Yu before he set out, which detailed the strategic points of the Anzhou defense battle. Chen Yongnian deeply agreed. After arriving in Anzhou, he immediately ordered two armies to guard the east gate and west gate of Anzhou City respectively. Anzhou Governor Quan Guanji concentrated 20,000 troops to station at the south gate.

Anzhou is the city closest to Jinchang City. It is fifteen miles long in the southeast and ten miles wide in the north and south. The city is built in a nine-cup grid. The blocks and blocks are neat and orderly. In addition to 20,000 soldiers in the city, there are 30,000 people. Outside the northern gate of Anzhou, there is Taoshui originating from Panlongji. The water volume of Taoshui varies according to different seasons. It is this Taoshui that nourishes a fertile field outside Anzhou City. The grain output is not only enough for Anzhou City to eat, but also transported to Liyang Cang every year. It is one of the grain sources of the three towns in the southeast. Panlongji is a mountain range that separates Anzhou and Jinchang City. The mountain is not high and the mountains are lush. In addition, there is no barrier between Anzhou City and the three towns in the southeast.

Chen Yongnian, who was over 100 years old, made a slight metal collision sound as he walked quickly. His dark skin and still strong figure all told the world that his sword was not old. In the Battle of Hu's destruction last year, the Red Tail Army performed excellently, but at that time the governor was in the hands of King Yu, and he did not fight on the battlefield. Although Emperor Liang also gave him a lot of rewards, Chen Yongnian was still a little disgusted. He enjoyed the military merits he had won with his own sword and gun.

On the other hand, when Chen Yongnian received the war report - the entire right-ranking guard was wiped out, he was already furious. As the smallest army among the four armies, the Chiwei Army had only four guards under his command, and now he had lost one guard in an unknown way. Chen Yongnian's hatred for the Tang army had completely ignited the blood of him and all the Chiwei Army soldiers. After receiving the military order from Emperor Liang, he rushed to Anzhou City as fast as possible. At this moment, he had to meet the governor of Anzhou immediately and discuss the battle.

"Sir Quan!" Chen Yongnian saluted a military salute to the middle-aged man who was already standing at the door of the mansion. Although he was a middle-aged man, Quan Guanji was only in his early thirties, but the black hair stained by frosted, wrinkles on the forehead, corners of his eyes, dry and rough skin and lips were really difficult to associate with his actual age.

"General Chen, you are finally here!" Quan Guanji was wearing a gray robe, with a little dirty stain on his robe. He held his hands out like dry bark. "General Chen, on the third day of the New Year, I received an urgent battle report from General Dan Tai. The incident happened suddenly. I really didn't expect that the three towns in the southeast would lose the second one in just three days! What's more unexpected was that the Tang army began to attack Anzhou the next day. Although we were repelled, we could see that those were just vanguards, just to investigate the reality and reality. This large army was behind!"

Quan Guanji nervously narrated the battle situation. Chen Yongnian could feel the spit from him. He had to tilt his head slightly and comfort him: "Master Quan is indeed dedicated to his duties. It is not easy to be able to defend the city. I have led 60,000 Red-tailed Army to garrison, and His Highness Yu's Xuanjia Army has also been dispatched and will arrive in less than two days. Please rest assured that with our two armies here, Baoanzhou will definitely not lose!"

"Okay, okay, okay" Quan Guanji's face, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little. "General Chen, the city of Anzhou is considered solid, but the problem is that most of the previous grains and grass were sent to Liyang Cang, and the granaries in the city did not store much food..."

Chen Yongnian stopped Quan Guanji and said, "You can rest assured about this. As long as the food and grass in the city can be used, it is enough for the people. My Chiwei Army and His Highness Yu's Xuanjia Army have always been in their own military supplies. Besides, we will never let the Tang people trample on our Liang Dynasty land for too long!"

Quan Guanji lifted up his clothes gratefully and wanted to kneel down. Chen Yongnian was so scared that he hurriedly helped him up and asked in surprise: "Why do you need this to be true by Lord Quan?"

"The lower-ranking officials thank Lord Shen on behalf of the people of Quan'anzhou. Thank Your Highness Yu!" No matter Chen Yongnian's support, he still had to kneel down forcibly. This is not difficult for Chen Yongnian. After all, he was a soldier and his strength was not comparable to a weak scholar. He raised Quan Guanji like a chicken with a hard effort and said seriously: "Protecting the family and the people is the responsibility of Chen and the Chiwei Army. At the critical moment, he must do a good job in city defense. Please do not waste time on some false gifts!"

Perhaps it was woken up by Chen Yongnian. Quan Guanji finally picked up his identity as the governor of Anzhou again. He dressed up and said, "According to General Chen's letter requirements, the subordinate officials have concentrated all their troops at the South Gate. They are all the military forces in Anzhou. But after all, they are the government soldiers, and they cannot be compared with the Red Neck Army in terms of combat effectiveness. I don't know why the general wants them to guard the south gate of the front facing the enemy?"

"The Tang Dynasty said that it was a battle of the country. Then the south gate that faced the enemy head-on would be the most heavily attacked place. The walls of Anzhou City were solid. As long as the troops could resist the attack of the Tang Dynasty, the Chiwei Army would open the doors to meet the enemy in the east and west gates, and attack the Tang army on both sides." Chen Yongnian revealed the combat plan of the Chiwei Army to Quan Guanji, but what he did not say was the arrangement of the Xuanjia Army.

At this moment, King Yu was leading a hundred thousand Xuanjia Army from Mobei to Anzhou City. The route from Mobei to Anzhou was exactly the opposite of the route of Chiwei Army. They followed the downstream of Taoshui and would arrive at Panlong Ridge before arriving at Anzhou City. Before arriving at Panlong Ridge, King Yu had already made arrangements: Rust Claw Guards and Handao Guards stopped moving forward after arriving at Panlong Ridge. The horses were connected and people were resting. They were not allowed to bury pots and cook rice, and could only eat the dry food they carried with them. Jinjia Guards and Tun Lian Guards followed King Yu to Anzhou City.

Three days after the heavy snow stopped, as the temperature gradually increased, the snow that had originally covered the ground was melting. On the sixth day of the Liang Dynasty, on a sunny day, the Chiwei Army had just arrived in Anzhou City for less than a day, and the Tang army approached fifty miles outside Anzhou City.

The generals of the Tang Dynasty were not Fan Yi, who was brave but Wu Yihuo, known as the "demon general". The reason for this is that he has never shown himself to others with a mask, and all the masks are evil and evil-looking ghosts, and no living person has ever seen his true face; the second is that he never pays attention to military tactics when using military forces, and he comes and goes like ghosts, making his opponents unable to defend themselves.

At this moment, Wu Wei was wearing a purple armor, which looked yin in the sun. The mask on his face was the appearance of the evil ghost who was specialized in the heart-eating demon in Tang folk legends. The green face depicted the lustful fangs and blood-red eyes as wide as a copper bell. Just one look makes people feel frightened.

The harassment of the small group of people before was just an appetizer, but now Anzhou City is facing the real opponent. Wu Yisheng is the most sophisticated 70,000 cavalrymen in Xia Tang, all of whom are good at horseback. In addition, there is a special force, and these people are all powerful siege weapons: hitting wood, cannon stone, and rushing poles.
