Outside Qiao County, Bozhou, a barracks that can accommodate ten thousand people has recently appeared. Stationed here is a well-known elite cavalry: the Spike Army.
Within ten days, countless young talents and monks from Qiao County scrambled to gather at the head of the city and outside the camp. They stepped up and looked up at the military camp all day long, wanting to see how heroic this brave army is. Among them, many well-informed people wanted to see the true face of the white-robed general.
But soon, no matter whether it was at the top of the city or outside the courtyard, there were no noisy crowds.
The top of the city was blocked by the defenders of Qiao County, and they were not allowed to enter within 300 paces of the camp. Those who violated the order... have been shot to death several times.
In the evening of that day, Shangguan Qingcheng, the leader of the Spike Army, returned the account from the school grounds, only to find that there was an extra person in the account.
This person was seven feet tall, with a wide waist and a strong body. He stood there like a door god, looking at her expressionlessly.
Faced with this unexpected visitor, Shangguan Qingcheng didn't find it strange, her expressionless face did not change at all, she just said indifferently: "Erbu is stationed in Songzhou, why are you coming to my Qiao County?"
"Of course I came to see you." A friendly smile appeared on the other party's face.
But a murderous look flashed across Shangguan Qingcheng's eyes: "Anyone who trespasses into the handsome tent will die, and you are no exception. I hope you have a better reason."
"Shangguan Qingcheng, why are you always so unreasonable?" The man was helpless and rascal.
This time Shangguan Qingcheng didn't speak, but his left hand was already holding down the handle of the waist knife.
The other party's eyes changed, and he clearly felt Shangguan Qingcheng's intention to do something about it.
The smile on her face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by the iron-blooded coldness before, "I'm here to tell you that the Spike Army has canceled the attack on Suzhou and is on standby in Qiao County—this is a military order."
Shangguan Qingcheng glanced at the military order handed over by the other party, confirmed that it was correct, and said in a calm tone like reading a book: "Shangguan Qingcheng takes the order."
The other party looked into her eyes and waited for a moment, "Is there anything else to say?"
Shangguan Qingcheng said: "You can go."
The man's face sank immediately, without saying a word, he raised his foot and walked past Shangguan Qingcheng.
When she reached the door curtain, she stopped again, looked back at Shangguan Qingcheng, and said with a sneer, "I came here to tell you that I will lead the army to battle Dangshan soon—you just wait here for the good news of my victory! "
Shangguan Qingcheng, who had his back to her, heard the news and responded coldly: "I have no interest in what you want to do, as long as you don't let me clean up the mess for you."
"Shangguan Qingcheng!" She gritted her teeth, her eyes showed a fierce look, and her chest heaved violently. But in the end, she still didn't say much, "You're ruthless!"
It was not until the other party had gone far that Shangguan Qingcheng let go of his guard, went to the main seat and sat down silently.
Of course she knew the unexpected guest.
The daughter of Zhao Bingkun, Zhao Nianci, a military genius who once watched the Battle of Yuanju County.
During the Battle of Ruzhou, the two of them cooperated together, but from the very first encounter, they fought against her conveniently, always wanting to compete with her, sometimes friends and sometimes enemies.
In the east of Songzhou, it goes down the Sishui River, passes through Yucheng County, and arrives at Dangshan County, which is the closest to the border.
After the Wu army marched westward and shrunk the front line, some of them stationed and stood firm here.
Zhao Nianci led the Hezhong Army, Zhongwu Army, and Heyang Army with a total of more than 200,000 troops, came here as a vanguard, and set up camp 20 miles away from the city. In the evening of that day, Zhao Nianci, who was wearing iron armor, brought only a dozen or so riders to the city to observe the city defense.
In the slightly cold evening wind, Zhao Nianci asked a military general beside him: "Who is the general of the Wu army?"
"I heard it was a man named Sun Ru." The general replied.
"Sun Ru?" A look of contempt flashed across Zhao Nianci's eyes, "You have never heard of a nameless person."
She asked again: "How many thieves are there in the city?"
"According to reports, there are 130,000 people." Without hesitation, the general said, "After these Wu troops retreated to the city, they reinforced the city day and night. Now that the city's defenses are complete, if we want to attack the city head-on, we need at least 100,000 reinforcements."
Zhao Nianci snorted coldly, "In the vanguard, the focus is on quick battles. How can there be any reason to wait for reinforcements? From now on, scold the battle day and night, and motivate the opponent to go out of the city to fight!"
"This is!"
At this moment, at the head of Dangshan County, Sun Ru, who just came here to preside over the overall situation, is also watching Zhao Nianci and others.
"Does anyone know who the general is?" Sun Ru pointed to Zhao Nianci and asked the left and right generals.
A middle-aged general said: "This girl is called Zhao Nianci, the daughter of the military strategist Zhao Bingkun. I heard that she is a rare general."
"A general?" Sun Ru sneered, "A good general in the world is familiar with generals by heart, but I have never heard of this woman's outstanding achievements. Order: Tomorrow at the time of the day, go out of the city to fight, and defeat the enemy's spirit!"
"yes!"
The next day, at dawn, the gates of the city were opened wide, and the armored torrent surged out, and soon spread into the sea outside the city. In the end, the 120,000 soldiers formed several square formations, and by the time the formation was complete, an hour had passed.
During this period, the Hezhong and Zhongwu armies were also marching out of the camp. If there was a tacit understanding between the two sides, they did not send cavalry to harass the opponent during this process. They obviously intended to defeat the opponent openly and convince the opponent.

At Sishi, Sun Ru, who was standing in front of the city tower, and Zhao Nianci, who was standing on the watchtower, gave the order to attack at the same time.
The two armies separated into the front sections of the sea-like formation and pushed out slowly. The sound of rumbling footsteps shook the sky and the earth, and they gradually approached each other in the misty smoke and dust. When the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred steps, the front formations on both sides lit up with the bright brilliance of the military formations at the same time, and the battle formations suddenly accelerated forward and collided with each other very quickly.
The sound of aura stirring, the sound of fighting, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded like a tide, and the sky and the earth turned pale.
The people on the front line were turned on their backs, and the two black oceans began to blend and swallow each other.
In the fierce battle until dusk, all the 120,000 Wu troops had already entered the battlefield, and there were not many soldiers left in Hezhong and in front of the Zhongwu Army camp. On the chaotic and orderly battlefield, large and small formations criss-crossed, biting each other like gears. In the flying smoke and dust, there were corpses, weapons, and flags everywhere. Blood flowed and drifted, like hell.
As the sun fell, the two armies retreated to the sound of gold.
In the military tent, Zhao Nianci sat with a cold face, and his fierce eyes swept over the generals: "In today's battle, I have more than 20 generals from military families who are fighting, and their strength is twice that of the enemy. , but killed and wounded thousands of bandits, which is tolerable! Tomorrow, I will go to battle in person, and I will not give up until I defeat the enemy bandits!"
In the county seat, Sun Ru paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, turning a blind eye to the generals' comments and eyes.
After a while, he stopped and looked at the generals with lightning eyes: "There are too many bandits and generals. Our casualties in today's battle are two or three times that of the opponent. If we continue to fight like this, our army will be defeated! Xiao Wang, we must change our strategy... Everyone, our army should look for an opportunity to abandon Dangshan Mountain and retreat to Xiao County to attract the bandit army to pursue!"
Hearing this, the generals were all stunned.
The lieutenant general couldn't help asking: "Although the bandit army is strong, if our army sticks to the city, it will not be easy for the opponent to break through the city with the strength of Dangshan Mountain."
Sun Ru glanced at the lieutenant general, and said lightly: "Fighting hard to defend the city, even if we can keep the enemy out of the city gate, what good is it for the overall situation? What we are about to do is to wipe out this bandit army!"
