Time once again turned back to the early morning of the day, and the location was changed to Hongzhou City. After following Yan Tong's advice, Lu Yi gathered troops to find generals and took advantage of Chaoxia's air to send troops to Zhenxian City.

If Yan Tong's words were true, then it was indeed the best time to attack Zhenxian City. The key was whether Yan Tong told the truth? Lu Yi turned around and looked at the head of the city. There was no Yan Tong on the head of the city. Lu Yi had already set a way out for himself. If Yan Tong dared to deceive himself, he would not think of leaving Hongzhou City alive. But if he really told the truth, then he would not have separated him for such a contribution. After all, Yan Tong was also a dead person at that time. At most, when he reported it to the Khan, he mentioned that Yan Tong had sacrificed his life for the country.

After he was fully prepared for what he thought, Lu Yi rode his horse and could only verify all this when he arrived at Zhenxian City. Lu Yi was still relieved. When he arrived at Zhenxian City that day, everything in front of him really made him feel moved.

At this time, Zhenxian City was already filled with fire, and there were shouts of killing in the city, which seemed to be a qualified battlefield. Sure enough, Yan Tong did not lie! Lu Yi was excited. The sporadic guards on the top of the city did see the army of Xia Tang. So what if they blew the horn? There were killing sounds in the city, who would care about whom at this time?

"All the soldiers obey the order!" Lu Yi raised his orders to order the army to start siege at all costs.

The city guards, who were already covered in dust, had to temporarily give up the battle in the city. They had to focus on the enemies under the city. They had seen the strength of the Tang army, but in just half a year these troops were invincible on the land of the Liang Dynasty, and they occupied half of the Liang Dynasty's territory like a whirlwind.

What should I do now? The guards were tired of dealing with internal and external difficulties, but the Tang army did not make them too confused. The wave of feather arrows after wave had already made the few guards on the city either died or were so scared that they dared to look up.

Taking advantage of this critical moment, the Tang army began to set up cloud ladders along the city walls, and the first suicide squads began to climb along the cloud ladders. The guards who were not afraid of death could occasionally show their heads and wave swords at the enemies who were climbing up, but soon they paid the price of their lives.

The number of guards at the top of the city was really not large, which led to the fact that the people who demolished the east and the west walls could not cope with it. After all, the Tang army came prepared. They prepared dozens of ladders and almost built the walls of Zhenxian City at the same time. Thousands of suicide squadrons went up the ladders, and naturally suffered a lot of casualties in the process. However, once they successfully reached the top, the situation of the battle became different.

Lu Yi watched the city proudly. In his opinion, it was only a matter of time before he opened the city gate in this battle.

It is not entirely true to say that it is not urgent at all. He naturally hoped that the sooner the city gate would be opened, the better. He could not wait to enter the city and see what the scene was like. The first one to be eliminated was the Red Tail Army. This army, which had been shrinking in size, would have long had no meaning of existence. If Wu Weihuo had not allowed him to act rashly, he would have led his troops to destroy the Red Tail Army.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi suddenly remembered that his military operation today did not inform the head coach Wu Yihuo. Oh! Lu Yi slapped his mind hard, but at this time, it doesn’t matter whether he or she reports it or not. Then, even the battle report will be reported together. If he even takes down Zhenxian City, what else can he say about Wu Yihuo?

In less than an hour, the two gates of Zhenxian City opened in front of Lu Yi. Lu Yi already felt that he had taken the first step from success.

"The time is here! Brothers, it's time to earn military merits!"

Lu Yi led the Tang army to rush into the city. The first thing he saw was the ruins and the crowd of people running away with their heads. The sound of fighting continued to be heard from further away. I think the main force of the Red Tail Army should have been involved in the battle with the Xuanjia Army. That happened to be the right thing, the fisherman's benefits will be accepted by me, Lu Yi!

At the gate of the city, Lu Yi divided the army into three parts, and the central army followed him into the main road in the city; the left and right armies swept along the left and right roads, and they all tried their best to clear them when they encountered resistance. In this way, the brown Lower Tang army began to advance along the three routes towards the depths of Zhenxian City. Along the way, they did encounter resistance from the Chiwei Army, but these were just a piece of cake for Lu Yi. After a few fights, the Chiwei Army retreated.

It has only been more than two hours since the beginning of the battle. The 25,000 marquis under Lu Yi's command has controlled half of Zhenxian City. However, except for some traces of battle at the city gate, the city looks quite neat and does not look like a city in battle no matter how hard it looks.

Lu Yi raised his arm and told the army not to act rashly anymore. He sent two groups of scouts to explore the road first. Lu Yi, who was sitting on the horse, raised his neck and looked further away. The fire and shouts of killing were all transmitted from that direction, but the scene he saw when he was standing outside the city was similar to what he saw now. More than an hour had passed. Why did the distance between himself and the battlefield have not changed at all?

During the period of waiting for the scouts, the city suddenly became quiet, and there were no more people running in a panic and the Red Tail soldiers who dared to come forward to die. The fires and shouts of killing in the distance were gradually weakening.

There is a problem! This is a trap! Before the scouts came back, Lu Yi had already made a judgment in his heart. Damn it

Yan Tong, it’s really a cheater! Withdraw the troops, withdraw the troops immediately!

Lu Yi's reaction was already fast, but unfortunately there were people in this world who were faster than him. He Yunke and Gongsun Ke had already chosen a small road from Zhenxian City to head towards Hongzhou City when Lu Yi left Hongzhou City. Although the mountain road was difficult to move, they set out early enough that the Chiwei Army finally arrived at their destination before the Mass Army.

The gate of Hongzhou City had just been closed, and the guards at the top of the city found that a large army appeared not far away. They were still wondering, wasn't the commander just left, why did he turn back so quickly? The sky was not yet completely bright, and the army was also brown and yellow as a whole, so the guards initially recognized them as their own people. Until the army arrived at the gate of the city, the guards finally opened their eyes and saw clearly that they were not their own people, they were just enemy troops wearing yellow straw raincoats! Moreover, the ones who criticized the straw raincoats were just the troops in front, and the ones behind did not even criticize the straw raincoats.

Judging from the armor format, the Chiwei Army came to Hongzhou City! The enemy attacked and the guards blew the ox horn. At this time, the number of the last army in Hongzhou City was really small. Wu Yi was not at ease with Lu Yi, so he only left him a 30,000 army. At the same time, he warned Lu Yi not to always think about going out of the city to provoke others. Being able to defend Hongzhou City was the greatest military achievement. This time, in order to win Zhenxian City, Lu Yi gritted his teeth and took away 25,000 people, leaving only 5,000 people to guard the city.

On the Chiwei Army, He Yunke had 10,000 left-rank guards and Gongsun Ke had 10,000 right-rank guards, which obviously had the upper hand in terms of the number of people. The division of labor between the two armies was clear, and the right-rank guards were attacking the feather arrows to suppress the resistance at the top of the city, while the left-rank guards hit the city gate with all their strength.

Hongzhou City has never been a military important place. To the south, there are Fengbo City, and to the north, there are Yecang City and Zhenxian City, so it does not require many troops to be stationed. Such a geographical location determines that the city defense of Hongzhou City is far inferior to the other three important military fortresses.

With the constant impact of the left-rank guard, the city gate cracked open. He Yunke waved the phoenix-winged three-edge gun and cut off the door bolt, knocked open the city gate with his body, and led the left-rank guard soldiers into Hongzhou City.

The next battle was not good. The result of 20,000 Red Tails vs. 5,000 Red Tails was self-evident. Moreover, with the help of the people in the city, this battle with huge power disparity did not last long. This is also an extremely critical point in a series of battles. Time must be controlled well. The faster the battle ends, the better, so that the Red Tails can be given more preparation time.
