When Deng Biao rushed to Tuofeng Shanxi Pass, Gu Jun led the 2o2 and 2o3 divisions to attack the Northern Army Stronghold. It didn't take long for the Southern Army Stronghold to surrender with a white flag, and the Battle of Tuofeng Mountain Pass ended.
He Lianyu learned about the change of hands at Tuofeng Mountain Pass earlier than Jiang Xi, and was much calmer than when he heard about the fall of Zhenbei Pass.
Her countermeasures were simple: let the Third Army build a military camp at the eastern pass of Tuofeng Mountain to block the road to Juyang City and prevent Shaodian's army from deploying its forces out of the pass; and densely set up posts along the edge of the great swamp to prevent Shaodian's army from bypassing the mountain again.
Passed through the Meng army's defense line.
Gu Jun did not rush to attack Juyang City, because Nanqiu County City and Chunlu River Ferry were still under the control of the Meng Army, threatening the flanks and rear of the Shaodian Army at any time. If the 21st Army did not capture Juyang City immediately, it would be easy
They were attacked from two sides by the Meng army.
Shaodian's army was blocked to the west of the Tuofeng Mountain pass, but Jin Man's strategic goal had been achieved. Several cities southwest of Nanqiu County lost their military support and logistical supplies. As long as they sent troops to surround them, they would be able to defeat them without attack in a short time.
Xiaxuan Pass only lasted one afternoon longer than the Tuofeng Mountain Pass. On the evening of April 7, the Meng Ninth Army withdrew from Xiaxuan Pass, and the North Route Army commanded by Jiang Xi and the South Route Army commanded by Jin Man joined forces.
It was already late at night on the 7th when all the news came to the base camp. The headquarters was brightly lit, and the busy staff officers showed no signs of fatigue on their faces. They were excitedly sorting out all kinds of news and finally handed it over to Bei Yi, who was the head coach.
"Oh, after reaching the front line of Juyang City so easily, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces will have a decisive battle with our army in Nanqiu County. After all, their troops are slightly superior." Bei Yi said to himself.
The staff officers of the headquarters treated Bei Yi differently from Jiang Xi. They were more in awe of Jiang Xi, but admired Bei Yi. Zhishuai was the object of worship in the hearts of staff officers across the country.
"The twenty-first legion's eastward march was blocked. Only Chunlu City was left in the north, and further away was Nanqiu County. The first legion of the Central Plains divided its troops into three groups and surrounded Baiting City, Huatong City and Jiaxin City.
The army can advance to Nanqiu County City; including the 11th and 12th Army Corps that are advancing towards Nanqiu County City, there are four regular army groups rushing to Nanqiu County City."
Bei Yi laid out the war chess in his mind. He could draw the map of the Nanzhao Prefecture war zone with his eyes closed, but he could not determine only the enemy's troop layout.
"The enemy can garrison Chunlu City with heavy troops, rely on the Chunlu River's advantageous location to block our army, and at the same time defend the southwest corner of the county; send another unit to seize the Huatong Mine, threaten Huatong City and Baiting City, and also threaten the third city.
The grain roads of the 11th and 12th Army Corps; their main force spread out to the west of the county and occupied the open and favorable terrain, forcing our army to invest only a small number of troops in the attack."
Thinking of this, Bei Yi patted the table.
Staff Officer Zhang came over and asked, "What are your orders, Mr. Bei?"
"Instruct the Lindi 1st Army Corps to attack Bianfeng Pass from the front, and the 2o1 Division that blocked the pass will return to form the 21st Army Corps; the Haitian 1st Army Corps will detour to Xiaxuan Pass and attack Bianfeng Pass from the south; Jin Man will be asked to assist Gu Jun in attacking Chunlu City.
If Jiang Shuai has other arrangements, he will make his own decision."
Although Bei Yi is sitting at the headquarters, the highest command authority of the Nanzhao Prefecture War Zone is still in the hands of Jiang Xi.
After receiving the order, Jin Man thought for a while and said with a smile: "How can Chunlu City be so easy to capture? The teacher clearly asked me to persuade Mr. Jiang not to confront the enemy in the west of Nanqiu County City."

Leanna coughed twice outside Helianyu's bed tent.
"What's the matter?" He Lianyu's lazy voice came from inside the tent.
"Qi State Commander Qi Shuang has led Cao Qi's coalition army of 500,000 people to the border city." Leanna lowered her head and reported.
"Humph, fighting is not good, and the march is so slow. Why doesn't this old man Qi return home?" He Lianyu expected the movement of the Cao Qi coalition.
She did not ask Xu Zhuobing for help, but she promptly reported the military situation and believed that Xu Zhuo could make the right judgment.
Leanna didn't know how to respond to He Lianyu's words, and stood outside the tent without daring to leave.
"Hey, no one can be a good king. Qi Shao wants to use my hand to get rid of his uncle, but I don't like it. Send a message to Qi Shuang. We will be responsible for all the logistics supply of Cao Qi's coalition forces after the border city. Let them
Just get to your destination as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Reanna breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.

The 2o6 Division was ordered to garrison the port city and also take into account the defense of the Camelback Mountain Pass. The First Battalion of the 2o1 Division temporarily accompanied the 2o6 Division.
Ding Kui did not retreat to the rear to rest, but still stayed at the eastern pass of Tuofeng Mountain. The reason was that the Ming and Tang Dynasties followed the main army to prepare to attack Nanqiu County. The only one who could deter Meng Guo Zhan Wei was Ao Yu, so Ding Kui could not withdraw.
Otherwise Ao Yu will follow.
"Stones! Tell Long Tan to bring the stones up quickly. Meng Jun took the wrong medicine this morning and is simply using his life to consume us."
Ding Kui pushed Bai Qian away and asked her to deliver the order.
The remaining stones were all concentrated on the first layer of the city wall, which was only enough to repel another wave of enemy attacks. However, the Meng army in the distance was forming another group, and a new wave of attacks was about to begin.
Hao Liao ran down from the fourth floor and said to Ding Kui: "Captain Ding, our captain asked you when to take a break? The second brigade can take over the defense at any time."
"After repelling this wave, you can attack. Damn, if you don't have archers to defend the city, you will be at a disadvantage. Throwing stones will be too strenuous." The two were contestants in the same state competition, so they didn't have so many scruples when talking.
"We can support the archers for you." Hao Liao also became a squadron leader and could speak well in the second brigade of the 2o6 Division.
"No, just let the Meng army get used to our defense with rocks, and then you can trick them when you come up."
"Good guy, the higher your strength, the more cunning you become, Captain Ding."
"Gungun, don't bury me here."
Ding Kui threatened to kick Hao Liao's butt, but Hao Liao ran away with a smile.
"Team D, let's go up to the first floor instead." Feng Liang came down from the second floor.
"It's okay, Captain Feng, our squadron hasn't had enough fun yet." Professor Peng shouted from the side.
"Squadron Ding Kui!" Ji Xing suddenly shouted.
"Brave! Brave! Brave!" Everyone on the first floor, whether sitting or standing, responded loudly. Ever since Ding Kui took over the brave battle flag, they used bravery instead of elite when boosting their morale.
"You're handsome, Captain Feng." Ji Xing said proudly.
"Being handsome is useless! Protect your subordinates. If someone in the third team is injured again, you will be dismissed from your post. I tell you." Ding Kui still remembered that two people in the third team were injured by arrows in the morning.
Ji Xing shut his mouth and returned to his defense zone dejectedly.
"Did the enemy notice something? I guess the enemy wants to force you back." Feng Liang stood next to Ding Kui, watching the movement under the pass.
"Although we have reached an agreement privately with Zhan Wei, both sides' sixth-level combatants and magicians will not participate in the battle here, but I believe that the enemy will not dare to break this agreement at will. As long as Ding Yu stays here and watches, I
It doesn’t matter if we exit the pass, we won’t suffer any loss if we continue to waste this time. Ding Yu, blow the trumpet!”
Ding Kui was promoted to captain, and the items for commanding the troops included horns and flags, and naturally they all fell on Ao Yu.
The Meng army completed its formation and once again walked towards the pass with neat steps.
Feng Liangxun returned to the second floor. The archers of the special operations brigade were all under his command. The defenders were the first to attack on the second floor of the city wall.
Bai Qian ran back panting and said, "Captain Long will be here soon. They have transported the stones to the city."
"Okay, go back to your team. Everyone pay attention! It's better to wait until they climb up the ladder before smashing. Hehe, they don't have a catapult anymore, so they are very well prepared."
Ding Kui put the helmet of the black magic armor on his head. Since he didn't have a fighting spirit helmet, he had to choose the best helmet to wear.
Ao Yu leaned against the wall at the entrance of the Tibetan Army Cave, hung the horn back on his belt, picked up a blue flag with his toes, and held it in his hand waiting for Ding Kui's order. From yesterday to this morning, he was already familiar with Ding Kui's command.
The next step is to wave the blue flag and command the archers to shoot.
He was bound by the agreement and could not participate in the defensive battle of the Shaodian Army, but it did not restrict him from being a messenger. When Ding Kui was in danger, he had to come to the rescue. Ding Kui could be defeated but could not die. The dragon had its own bottom line.
.
Sure enough, as soon as the Meng Army archers entered the firing range of the defenders, Ding Kui ordered Ao Yu to wave the flag.
Li Hao and other more than 30 surviving archers drew their bowstrings, looked for gaps in the defense of the Meng army's shield-bearers, and attacked the densely arranged phalanx of the Meng army's archers.
There were too few archers in Ding Kui's group. Even if each arrow killed one person, it would still take thirty rounds to clear out the Meng army's archers, not to mention that only a small number of arrows could hit the target in each round.
Soon the Meng Army's archers entered the attacking position and began to counterattack, covering the wall with dense arrow rain. The scattered archers who fell did not weaken the Meng Army's long-range firepower.
"Pay attention to the rhythm, be careful of cold arrows!" Ding Kui's spear danced like a windmill, deflecting arrows for his subordinates.
The members of the special operations brigade are all veterans. They are not afraid of this kind of volley of arrows. It looks very scary, but the trajectory is easy to predict, and anyone can easily block it. The biggest threat is the random arrows, which are fired in the noisy
It is impossible to detect the arrow immediately on the battlefield. Often you don’t know until the arrow is about to hit, and you will be hit if you react slowly.
There is a bunker on the city wall. When the arrow is about to fly, just hide behind the bunker. After shooting a wave of arrows, you can get out again.
The Meng army's siege troops relied on waves of neutral advances. They did not expect the archers at this stage to be able to kill several defenders.
The trench in front of the pass was filled in last night. The leading troops of the Meng army rushed directly to the bottom of the city wall, raised their square shields and pieced them together. Below, soldiers moved away the stones on the ground and cleared the foot of the wall in preparation for the erection of the ladder.
Ding Kui could not hide behind the bunker. He had to observe the movements of the siege troops and poke his head out from time to time to look at the situation below the city.
This was also the reason why he put on the black magic armor helmet, for fear that the Meng army would have Sunset Archers secretly attack him, even a great archer would be able to resist.
"The ladder is coming up, pay attention!" Ding Kui's voice was dry and a little broken.
