Chapter 364: Fight to the death, reinforcements arrive!
In Liangshan City, it was already dusk, but the brutal battle between the two sides had not yet ended, with countless casualties.

More than 10 rebels were killed, and corpses piled up like mountains. Both their physical strength and morale were pushed to the limit.

With Huo Du's bonus on defending the city, the defenders' defense was greatly enhanced, and the difficulty of the rebels' siege increased sharply, and they could not take the city no matter what.

As long as they fail to defeat Li Qian, the rebels will inevitably fail when reinforcements from Jingzhou arrive.

The greatest emperor in history knew that he could not retreat a single step, so he threw all his brave troops into the battle, risking everything on one throw.

"We must capture this city at all costs. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!"

The emperor of all ages had red eyes and was hysterical. He held a bow and arrow and went into battle himself.

Thousands of brave soldiers had fought till now, and more than half of them were killed or wounded, which made the emperor feel heartbroken.

These brave soldiers were the elite he had recruited at the cost of his life. If they died in large numbers and he failed to achieve his goal, the loss to the greatest emperor of all time would be too great.

"Brother, our brothers have suffered heavy casualties. If we continue fighting, we will be left with no soldiers or generals!"

The rebel leader Zhao Ci found the greatest emperor of all time with a knife in hand and complained endlessly.

Liangshan City was more difficult to attack than Yuyang City. The number of rebels killed in the battle was probably not just 10, but even 20.

The rebels could not bear such heavy casualties.

As the leader of the rebels, Zhao Ci was also worried that if he continued fighting, he would be left alone.

"Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. To retreat at this time is to seek death. To continue the attack and capture the entire territory of Nanyang to resist the imperial court's troops is the right way to go!"

The emperor was unwilling to give up and urged the rebels to continue their attack.

"My lord, cavalry is coming from the south!"

The soldiers of the Xianguo Army who were guarding the greatest emperor of all time pointed to the south in horror.

The greatest emperor of all time suddenly looked towards the south, and saw rolling dust and galloping war horses at the end of the sunset in the south. He didn't know how many cavalrymen there were.

Judging from the experience of the greatest emperor of all time, the dust storm was so huge that there might be tens of thousands of cavalrymen!
"Could it be that the Jingzhou army is coming?"

The emperor of all ages turned pale.

He instigated Zhao Ci's military rebellion, killed the prefect, and marched south with hundreds of thousands of rebels to attack Li Qian, putting all his chips on the line.

But with the arrival of the Jingzhou army, the greatest emperor in history lost the bet.

In order to capture Yuyang City and Liangshan City, the rebels lost more than 30 soldiers and horses. Even with a large number of people, it had reached their limit.

The governor of Jingzhou can mobilize at least hundreds of thousands of troops.

The arrival of the Jingzhou army was bad news for the rebels who were already exhausted.

Behind the tens of thousands of Jingzhou cavalry, there are probably hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou's main bow infantry.

"Ahhhh!!!"

A rebel general screamed. It turned out to be Chen Sheng, a Jiangxia general who rebelled with Zhao Ci. He was stabbed in the head by Li Qian.

"Brothers, retreat!"

Seeing the tragic death of his accomplices and the arrival of reinforcements from Jingzhou, Zhao Ci lost all his fighting spirit and ignored the obstruction of the greatest emperor of all time and just wanted to escape.

"Let's run away!"

Zhao Ci and others took the lead in fleeing, and the rebels also lost their fighting spirit and retreated in groups.

The rebels retreated northward from the city where they had suffered heavy losses, like a receding tide.

"You can't retreat! If this continues, we will all become prisoners!"

The Emperor tried his best to stop the rebels from retreating, but the rebels were so numerous that the Emperor's attempts to stop them were useless. The Emperor even sent his own brave army to the battlefield. Without the supervision team, he could not stop the rebels from retreating northward.

"Protect the lord and leave. Otherwise, the lord will be in danger if he continues to stay here."

King Yang Lin, with a team of brave soldiers, killed the defenders and joined the greatest emperor of all time.

Yang Lin also judged that the rebels had been completely defeated, so he no longer insisted on attacking the city, but led the Xiaoguo Army to forcibly carry the emperor away.

In Yang Lin's opinion, if they did not retreat in time, the Jingzhou army would encircle the rebels from the outside, and the defenders would cooperate with the Jingzhou army to attack from both inside and outside, and the emperor of all ages would most likely die in the battle.

Yang Lin didn't want his lord, the greatest emperor of all time, to die in battle, so he should make a heroic effort to save his life.

The greatest emperor of all time still has his territory. Although hope is slim after this battle, there may still be a chance for a comeback.

But once you lose your life, there will be no chance at all.

"Let me go!"

"General, our lord...what should we do?"

"The safety of the lord is of utmost importance. If we retreat to our territory, we may still have a chance."

Yang Lin, despite the resistance of the Greatest Emperor of All Time, was determined to save his lord's life, so he ordered the Xiaoguo Army to forcibly escort the Greatest Emperor of All Time away.

When the emperor's troops saw their lord leaving, they retreated one after another.

Han Qinhu, He Ruobi, Wei Wentong, Zuo Tiancheng, Shan Xiongxin, Dong Ping and other generals also led their troops to escape.

If we don't retreat now, we will most likely be captured alive.

"There is no way out of this plan. If we retreat at this time, we will give up our only chance."

After a fierce battle between the rebels and the defenders, Yang Su, a famous general of the Sui army who was commanding the siege, lost control of the rebels in the chaos. Zhao Ci retreated without authorization, and Yang Lin forcibly took the emperor away to protect his safety, causing the rebels' morale to decline again and again and suffering a crushing defeat.

Even a commander as capable as Yang Su was unable to turn the tide and was forced to retreat with the rebels.

"Our reinforcements are coming?"

"This is how the same thing?"

Li Qian was fighting a bloody battle with the rebels and was not sure he could hold Liangshan City against the rebels' fierce attack. Suddenly, the rebels retreated, but dust was flying in the south and a large number of Jingzhou cavalry appeared.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the famous generals of Jingzhou were not only Huang Zhong, one of the Five Tiger Generals, but also Wen Pin, Huang Zu and others.

If they came with hundreds of thousands of Jingzhou troops, the exhausted rebels would not be able to handle it.

However, according to the information Li Qian received, the Jingzhou army was gathering in Xiangyang City not long ago. Even if they had already dispatched troops, they would not arrive so quickly.

So whose troops are those large numbers of cavalry appearing in the south?

Soon, Li Qian knew the answer.

"Shut up!"

The two generals pulled the reins and their horses raised their front hooves high.

The two generals took off their helmets. They looked somewhat similar and shouted to the confused Li Qian on the city wall, "We heard that Big Brother was in danger, so we led 30,000 cavalrymen to set out first. We traveled day and night and luckily caught up in time. The main army is still behind us and will arrive in three or four days."

Cai Zhong, Cai He?
When Li Qian saw the appearance of the two men clearly, he was stunned at first. He did not expect that the brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He, who were regarded as third-rate generals, were the ones who scared away the rebels and the greatest emperor of all time.

If the emperor knew the truth, he would be filled with regret.

With the abilities of the brothers Cai Zhong and Cai He, even if they arrived with 30,000 cavalry, the greatest emperor of all time could defeat them with just a portion of their troops.

Unless Wen Pin and Huang Zu lead 30,000 cavalry, they will pose a threat to the rebels.
