Among the rebels controlled by the red eyebrow sect, there are about 1000 elite believers above the spirit setting camp, while there will be only about 300 in the spirit setting camp in xiyuanjin, which retreats to the north slope of Zuojin valley.

    On the fifth day, the rebels gathered in the mountains to the north of Zuojin Valley covered the sky and closed the day. The absolute number was more than ten times that of the remnants of the Xiyuan army.

    However, the core advantage of the Xiyuan army is that the soldiers at the grass-roots level are extremely elite, which is far from being comparable to the untrained refugee rebels.

    There are more than 40000 soldiers in the remnant of the Xiyuan department. There are seven or eight thousand people of Minyong origin. However, the other soldiers are Jianrui selected by the Xiyuan army from various prefectures and counties in Beijing. The seventh led by Chen Hai is a large number of Jiangyang bandits sent from all over the country. More than 40000 people, including seven or eight thousand people, have the foundation of martial arts in the mysterious realm. They can be called elite wherever they are placed.

    Although Yao Qitai and Tu Chongjin have not yet revived their morale from the chaos, after Chen Hai personally expanded the seventh army to 20000 soldiers, he has begun to take shape as a division of tigers and wolves, stick to the camp, have strong leaders such as Wei Yuqi and Tu Chongzheng, and are not afraid of heavenly master Gong Liang to lead the red eyebrows and a large number of rebels to attack.

    However, the number of rebels controlled by Chimei is large. On the one hand, it always gathers thousands of elite believers together. The advance and retreat speed is very fast. Chen Hai can''t lead his troops out of the camp. He can only do everything possible to strengthen the defense of the three camps forming horns.

    For Chen Hai, sticking to the Taiwei mansion and sending reinforcements is a great victory.

    It is also Chen Hai''s strategic intention to hold a stalemate with the rebels and retain the face of the Xiyuan army, which was first established by Chen Hai and led his troops north into Tongbei.

    The Heavenly Master Gong Liang may not be willing to let the elite believers around him suffer too heavy casualties, but when four or five hundred thousand rebels gather their soldiers, he will never be able to continue the confrontation without doing anything. It is impossible for Chen hai to delay the arrival of reinforcements at the Taiwei mansion, and they are forced to withdraw into the deep mountains and forests.

    In addition to stepping up the capture of the city stronghold in Tongbei Prefecture, the rebel offensive against the three camps continued from the third day.

    Of the 4.5 million rebels, about 70000 or 70000 were wrapped in black scarves, with complete armour, and even a large number of war horses. Their combat power was stronger than ordinary local weapons. Although these black scarf soldiers are still not comparable to the tiger wolf division led by Chen Hai, they can be said to be rare elite among the refugee rebels.

    These black scarf soldiers can only come from bandit strongholds in the depths of qintongshan mountain, and there are obvious traces of training. They advance and retreat in an orderly manner. The establishment of cavalry, archers, shield halberd infantry is relatively perfect, and their armour is relatively sophisticated. There are even a small number of chariots and weapons used to attack the camp and pull out the stronghold.

    It can be seen that the Chimei believers infiltrated and controlled the bandit villages in the deep of qintongshan mountain a few years ago.

    This reminds Chen Hai of the scenes seen in Yulong Mountain and Chishan city. The three or five black robed followers of the red eyebrow sect rebelled against tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of refugees. After a bloody fight with the local armed forces, most of the refugees were wiped out, but still a small group of elite were transferred and withdrawn with the black robed followers of the red eyebrow sect.

    Chen Hai suspected that the black towel soldiers gathered in the north of Tongbei at this time had some troops withdrawn from the south of Yulong mountain.

    When the rebels launched an attack on the three camps of the Xiyuan army, Gong Liang, the Heavenly Master in bright yellow Taoist clothes, personally pressed more than a thousand elite followers of the red eyebrow sect, and took the black scarf soldiers as the Chinese army to invade the Xiyuan military camp. However, it was a large number of exile generals with wooden shields and iron Spears on both wings who really attacked the camp directly.

    Chen Hai can naturally realize that the Heavenly Master Gong Liang still wants to use the cruel attack to train the refugee army, and the refugee army wants to grow up quickly. Although the bloody war is cruel, it is the most rapid and effective.

    Facing the cruel calculation of Heavenly Master Gong Liang, Chen Hai was helpless.

    There are many people who are proficient in the use of troops in the rebel forces of Chimei sect; This is not surprising. King Yingshu suffered a great loss from the red eyebrow sect when he led the south to conquer the Yunmeng fan rebellion.

    After some sufficient discipline and preparation, the elite members of the red eyebrow sect, the Elite Black towel soldiers and the refugees deployed their soldiers to attack the camp very carefully. Even if Chen Hai led his troops out of the camp to fight back, he could not get any advantage in the face of the Elite Black towel soldiers and the elite members of the red eyebrow sect after stripping away the peripheral refugee army.

    After a stalemate for more than ten days, Chen Hai could not catch the loopholes of the rebels and make a fierce and ruthless counterattack, let alone defeat the elite of the black scarf soldiers and the red eyebrow sect. He could only let the war drag on.

    In order to prevent the Heavenly Master Gong liang from concentrating the elite followers of the red eyebrow sect to use their magic power, Chen Haicai divided into three camps to defend, and expanded the scope of the camp as much as possible, so as to have enough buffer area. Chen Hai also organized Cen Yunfei, Chen Qing and some fleeing generals returning to the south to form an elite xuanxiu team of more than 100 people to cope with the possible raid of the elite of the red eyebrow sect at any time.

    At this time, Chen Hai incorporated a large number of craftsmen into the baggage camp, which also played a vital role.

    When all resources are mobilized, the baggage camp can transform more than ten three bow bed crossbows with a firing distance of more than a thousand steps every day. According to the current simple conditions, more defensive side cars, iron beam cars, mobile fence walls and other weapons are built in the camp to prevent the attack of the elite members of the red eyebrow sect.

    The Heavenly Master Gong Liang didn''t care about the lives of the exiles. Every day, he urged thousands of refugees to attack the camp of the Xiyuan army. The bloody fighting didn''t stop for a day.

    Even if the Xiyuan army is about to die, the foundation of physical cultivation is far better than the refugees, but the number of people is a big disadvantage. After repeated wars by the refugees, it is inevitable that the soldiers will be tired. The number of elite of the red eyebrow sect is also a great advantage. They will be pressed behind. They can throw a large number of falling stones into the camp seven or eight miles apart, with a large number of flames and ice cones between them, tearing the earth, Or create a storm that swept the camp of the Xiyuan army.

    Although Chen Hai and his disciples stored a lot of runes and seal characters before they set out, the members of the Chimei cult can refine the aura of heaven and earth into the true yuan at the beginning of dawn every day, and can concentrate on one round of magic every day. The runes and seal characters of the Xiyuan army consume very fast. Sometimes they can''t be prepared, and there are sparse, which is easy to cause a lot of deaths and injuries.

    The Xiyuan army soon accumulated many casualties.

    The casualties of the refugee rebels are even more tragic. Thousands of people fall down every day, filling the trenches dug in front of the simple stronghold wall, filling the magic power and tearing open the cracks in the earth.

    Rivers of blood have dyed the earth in the north of Zuojin valley red and black.

    Due to the existence of strong forces such as Heavenly Master Gong Liang among the rebels, and the number of rebels was much higher than that of the Xiyuan army, they soon circled to the mountains south of Zuojin Valley to establish sentry posts.

    As a result, Chen Hai and his followers were completely surrounded by the rebels, and they were unable to contact the outside world through the blockade of the Heavenly Master Gong Liang and the strong sacrificial class of Chimei cult; Spirit birds such as green pengniao can''t fly out of the camp to spy on the enemy outside.

    In the follow-up, Tu Chongjin''s headquarters and Yao Qitai''s headquarters, after the initial chaos, especially after those elite generals saw that there was no other way out except to hold the camp, gradually ran in better. Even if casualties accumulated every day, the overall combat effectiveness was not greatly weakened.

    Always like an indestructible reef, it stands in the north of Zuojin Valley and is destroyed by the rebels.

    Cao Feng and others expected that the Taiwei mansion would send reinforcements in 10 days and a half months, but in fact, they held on until the 56th day. It was not until the seventh day of the December of the 73rd year of emperor Yitian that the rebels left nearly 100000 dead bodies and withdrew to the mountains in the North.

    Fan Chun sent someone to cross the Zuojin Valley blocked by the cliff and enter the camp. Chen Hai knew that in addition to the 30000 elite left by the Xiyuan army, the Taiwei mansion transferred 50000 soldiers from the garrison of Jingzhao mansion to the north of Tongbei under the command of Wei general fan Chun, the supervising envoy and Sanqi Chang Shi Wen Boyuan. At this time, they arrived at the Taoshui River south of Zuojin valley.

    At this time, there are only three days to store food in the camp.

    Tu Chongjin and others will not understand why the reinforcements arrived today. They will inevitably be angry. Only Chen Hai, Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong know what''s going on.

    If the Taiwei mansion enlists the elite of the Huben army from the camp of qinglongyu, it is undoubtedly the most rapid. However, from now on, it is not possible for the Xiyuan army to drive side by side with the Huben army, and even its independence is difficult to maintain.

    And the Huben army may not be willing to come to wipe the ass of the Xiyuan army -- at this time, there is not only a civil unrest in Qintong mountain west of Beijing, but also the Huben army, which has the strongest combat power and the most soldiers, is responsible for military repression in the other three directions at the same time.

    Finally, Su Wei general fan Chun and San Qi Chang Shi Wen Boyuan led the remaining 30000 troops of the Xiyuan army, and transferred 50000 soldiers from the garrison of Jingzhao mansion to aid Tongbei. This should also be the result of repeated disputes between many officials of the central court and the Taiwei mansion.

    Chen Hai and Tu Chongjin led their troops to finally hold the camp in the north of Zuojin Valley and hold a stalemate with hundreds of thousands of refugees for nearly two months. However, they did not give the refugee rebels an opportunity to take advantage of it. They also left nearly 100000 bodies of the refugee rebels in the North of Zuojin valley. Naturally, this war is not a big defeat.

    It is also the key chip for Su Wei general fan Chun, San Qi Chang Shi Wen Bo Yuan Neng to lead the main force of the Xiyuan army to rush to the north of Tongbei and continue to retain the Xiyuan army rather than directly abolish it.

    By this time, at least the combat effectiveness of the Xiyuan army has been proved, which shows that the compilation and training of the Xiyuan army in the past year has been fruitful; As for the collapse of Leiyang Valley, resulting in more than 20000 casualties of Xiyuan army generals and more than 100000 casualties of local military equipment, it is Wei Yuqi''s unclear responsibility as the chief General to observe the enemy.

    Accompanied by fan chun to Zuojin Valley, there were also military envoys from Taiwei''s house. With Fu Zhao, Wei Yu was revoked as the chief General of qixiyuan army, and fan Chun took over.

    Wei Yuqi immediately returned to Yanjing for examination by Taiwei mansion; Fan Chun, the general of Suwei, and Wen Boyuan, the guardian army, were also responsible for the war to suppress the rebels in qintongshan in the later stage.

    At this time, Chen Hai knew that the official title of "Mr. Wen" was the casual attendant in charge of the internal affairs of the British palace.

    Both the Imperial Palace and the princes'' houses have internal houses to take charge of money and grain expenditure and other affairs. They are usually held by the near ministers or official ministers of the imperial group and the kings, and are awarded the rank of scattered riding and constant attendant.

    The officials in the inner government, such as casual cavalry and constant attendants, are not high rank but very important official positions. Sometimes they often supervise the military and government on behalf of the emperors and kings. It has been a tradition since Dayan founded the country that the children of the eight ethnic groups in Jingjun were in charge of the government. The emperor used these close officials to suppress the power of the eight ethnic groups in Jingjun.

    This time, Wen Boyuan directly served as the overseer of the Xiyuan army. It doesn''t need to be thought that it is the result of a series of operations carried out by Yingwang Yingshu behind the scenes, which means that crown prince Yingdan officially agreed that the "legitimate" Yingwang Yingshu would directly intervene and control the Xiyuan Army.

    Chen Hai doesn''t know how Yingwang Yingshu won the trust of the crown prince, and it''s hard to imagine how furious the crown prince Yingdan will be when he knows the real position of Yingwang Yingshu. But all that should have nothing to do with him.
