"Lord General, the bandits have already charged into the main camp, I am afraid they are already unable to defend, let us quickly retreat."

Just at this moment, Yuan Shao and his janissaries had arrived. His body was already dyed in blood, and it was unknown if it was his or his. However, the treasured sword in his hand had quite a bit of blood stuck to it. His face became even paler, and the hand holding the sword was also trembling.

"Retreat immediately!"

Huangfu Song sighed to the sky and gave the order to retreat. Although the imperial government's army was an elite division, it was too late to form a formation. The soldiers could only fight their own battles and had no way of forming their own force. If a few of the Generals had stood up and shouted loudly, then the result would have been different, even if they had to fight to open up a path of blood. It was a pity that the imperial army lacked such great generals who could stabilize the morale of the troops.

"Understood."

Yuan Shao agreed and galloped off on his horse to collect the broken troops. Under the protection of several hundred of his personal guards, Huangfu Song rushed out of the camp. At this time, the entire official army camp was already lit with fire, the sounds of killing could be heard from all directions, many of the Court officers s were running around in panic, looking extremely panicked.

After running out of the official camp, Huangfu Song took the lead, with Yuan Shao and the other generals following closely behind. Behind the generals, the chaotic Court officers surged out like a tide, rushing straight towards the southern wolves. The pitiful tens of thousands of Imperial army s, only around ten thousand of them were able to escape. Most of them were trapped in camps, and either died in battle or were trampled to death. The cold wind howled, blowing the trees to sway back and forth. It pierced the pedestrians like needles, causing the snow to dance in the air. The entire land was covered with snow, and other than the trees, there was nothing else to be seen in the vast wasteland.

Suddenly, from the depths of the snowy plains, a group of cavalrymen appeared. They galloped forward amidst the wind and snow, the rolling iron tide stirring up snow fog s that filled the sky. From afar, it was unknown if it was the fluttering of the snow or the dancing of the snow on the ground.

After receiving Huangfu Song's emergency report, Yang Lin had brought over twenty thousand riders to the north. Each soldier was mounted on a few horses, carrying only enough rations for a few days' journey through the night and day.

Receiving Huangfu Song's emergency report really gave Yang Lin a shock, he never thought that when Zhang Bao was about to be annihilated, he would actually return to reality and even bite back, exterminating all of the remaining elites of the imperial court in one go. was almost exterminated as well.

However, Yang Lin didn't feel sorry for Huangfu Song, so it was time for the old fellow to rest. With the prestige of the imperial court, it was impossible to kill him. However, if he wanted to leave the mountain again, he was afraid that he would never get the chance to do so.

It was a pity that Zhang Bao, this idiot, had actually allowed Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to escape. The heavens were truly unfair. They actually wanted these two fellows to live! Did they want all the people in the world to experience such a great calamity?

By the time Yang Lin rushed to the Guangzong, Huangfu Song had already escaped to the Weixian with the defeated soldiers, and Zhang Bao did not take over the Guangzong again. It turned out that the Guangzong City's supplies and supplies had all been transported by Dian Wei, Xu Zhu, Lin Feng and Luo Yong to Guangyang City, and there were actually over 30,000 large carriages inside.

On the way, Yang Lin's cavalry encountered many refugees, and they were all citizens of the city that Zhang Ding had taken down. Zhang Bao's xanthopanax went all the way south, successively conquering six counties. If he allowed Zhang Bao to continue acting as he pleased, it was very likely that the xanthopanax would reignite the flame of death within him.

The current Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the two main forces of the elite army of the imperial government, were already crippled by the xanthopanax, and it was impossible for them to form an alliance with the xanthopanax.

"We must not let Zhang Bao cross the Yellow River."

This was the unanimous decision of Yang Lin and the strategists. For the sake of the Darky Court, if Zhang Bao crossed the Yellow River, he would definitely cause chaos in the Central Plains. For the sake of the The people of the world, the citizens of the Central Plains could no longer withstand the war and needed a few years to recuperate. Considering his own strength, Yang Lin did not want to change the course of history and make history unfathomable just because of his arrival.

Yang Lin's cavalry finally reached the borders of Qing He County, and they also found traces of. According to the exorcism's report, Zhang Bao's exorcism was active in the Qing He County, it seems like Zhang Bao was not in a hurry to leave the Jizhou, it is possible that he did not place the officials of the imperial government in his eyes anymore.

"Master, the exorcism has come to report, Zhang Bao's xanthopanax is attacking the Qing He County city right now."

"Instruction: Advance at full speed."

With a wave of Yang Lin's spear, over ten thousand cavalrymen traversed the wilderness and rushed towards Qing He County City. Tens of thousands of horse hooves thudded on the snowy plains. The thundering sound of the horse hooves shook the entire land. The snowflakes in the sky became even denser, and soon covered the footprints of tens of thousands of horse hooves.

The cold wind whistled past Qing He County's city walls as strange cries came out. Beads of snow seeds mercilessly struck the faces of the city guards, causing them to shrink their heads, hands in sleeves, and continuously jump about on the ground.

A thick layer of ice had already formed on the walls of the Qing He County. That long blood ice flowed along the city wall and formed many ice blood column s, appearing exceptionally strange in the vast white snow.

Qing He County Zhou Biao frowned and jumped down from her horse. She walked to the side of the wall and looked anxiously at the xanthopanax outside the city. Right at his feet, there was a ball of blood that was slowly freezing.

Zhou Biao never expected that xanthopanax, who had already been annihilated by the imperial government, would suddenly appear. As a close neighbor of the Guangzong, he had always been paying attention to the situation of the battle in the Guangzong. He never thought that this Zhang Bao would actually be able to kill him.

Zhang Bao became very cunning this time. Before his army arrived, he had already sent the xanthopanax's elites to infiltrate the city. Zhou Border County County thought that xanthopanax had already been exterminated or driven out, so they didn't care and allowed a large number of xanthopanax's spies to sneak into the city.

Waiting for the arrival of Zhang Bao's army, the spies of the xanthopanax who were lurking inside the city were working together to attack from both sides. Almost with no effort at all, they took down six counties in one go, and all the towns that had been taken down were extorted by Zhang Bao.

The Qing He County was also almost faked open the city gates by Zhang Bao's xanthopanax, but because the officials who were running away from him in the previous few counties ran over to Qing He, they reminded Zhou Biao, and he immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed. The entire city was searched and captured, and in the end, over three hundred xanthopanax spies were captured, which meant that the Qing He County was protected.

This was already the second day that the xanthopanax attacked the Qing He County. Yesterday, they attacked three times, but were chased down the city walls by the guarding county soldiers and village brave men. However, today's attack was even more ferocious, with the intention of capturing Qing He in one fell swoop. The soldiers guarding the city gates, on the other hand, were low in morale.

"Reporting..." Lord Taishang, the generals of the North Gate have come to report, a large number of cavalry of Youzhou have already arrived at the North City, here to save us. "

"Ah …" Great. Hurry and inform the entire city, let all the county and village brave men know, that the cavalry of Youzhou is here, and our reinforcements are here. "

Zhou Biao was so excited that he almost jumped up, his arm waving in the air, giving off the demeanor of a general. The haze on his face disappeared, and a red light actually shone out. He paced back and forth on the city walls for a few steps, and then used his hands to support the city wall stamping. He looked at the xanthopanax outside the city, and revealed a pleased smile.

"Zhang Bao, I will definitely make you lose your life this time."

Just as Zhou Biao revealed a pleased smile, Zhang Bao, who was outside the city, was also looking at Zhou Biao who was on top of the city wall. During the previous round of attacks, xanthopanax had left behind more than a thousand corpses, but his efforts were for naught, and under the counterattacks of the garrison soldier, he had no choice but to retreat.

However, Zhang Bao did not give up, as this was the first time he had met a County City in the south. Whether it was wealth or population, they were all much richer than any other counties. As long as he could take down the Qing He County, he could feel at ease to head south, cross the Yellow River, and chase away the deer from the Central Plains.

"Reporting, Human Generals, we have discovered a large amount of cavalrymen within fifty miles of the north."

"Mm …" "So fast …"

Zhang Bao's heart could not help but be shocked. He had already guessed that these cavalry troops must be cavalry of Youzhou, but he had not expected them to return so quickly. After defeating Huangfu Song, for a moment, he thought that he was already invincible. The arrival of cavalry of Youzhou reminded him that there was still an army in Darky Court that could defeat him.

"Lance Soldier, archer has formed a formation, prepare to deal with cavalry of Youzhou."

was very experienced in dealing with cavalry, he had interacted with Gongsun Zan and Dong Zhuo's cavalry before, although he had suffered a lot, but he had also gradually found a way to deal with cavalry before. The problem was, whether it was Gongsun Zan or Dong Zhuo, they only had more than three thousand cavalrymen, but Yang Lin's had two ten thousand people s, so he felt somewhat guilty.

"Human Generals, are you still attacking the city today?"

Hearing that the cavalry of Youzhou had arrived, without waiting for Zhang Bao's order, Yan Zheng, Gao Sheng, Ren Zhi, and Qian Lin all ran over. Although they looked calm on the surface, their eyes revealed their nervousness. Gao Sheng looked at Zhang Bao, his voice trembling.

"Withdraw and return to camp."

Zhang Bao said indifferently and waved his hand. Looking at the departing figures of Yan Zheng, Gao Sheng, Ren Zhi, Qian Lin, Zhang Bao, Zhang Bao, a few of the generals were actually bitter and bitter. They seemed to have been scared out of their wits by the imperial army, and upon hearing that the cavalry of Youzhou had arrived, even their words were a little unnatural.

"Clank, clank, clank …"

The urgent gong sounds came out from the array of xanthopanax. All of the Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and ran towards their own array. No matter what, he still managed to retrieve his life. He could live for as long as one day at a time.

"Damnable cavalry of Youzhou!"

Seeing that the fat in his hands could not even be eaten, Zhang Bao scolded fiercely. The Soldiers of the Yellow Scarves anxiously gathered together, and under the shouts of the Generals, they quickly formed a battle formation. The Lance Soldier stood at the outermost perimeter, behind them was the archer, and behind them were the blade and shield soldiers.

"Look …"

It was unknown who shouted, but all the soldiers of xanthopanax turned their heads together and looked towards the east. On the vast snowy plains, at the place where the sky and the earth connected, a long black line was rushing towards them.

The more than twenty thousand war horses galloped in the snow, their passionate cries resounding through the sky. Tens of thousands of iron hooves knocked on the snow, making an earth-shattering sound, and the snow that was kicked up formed a thick snow fog in the air, covering half of the sky.

"Prepare to fight."
