Chen Lin's troops and Tong Yuanzhen's troops on the south left wing were completely different. Chen Lin easily defeated Yang Chaodong's army that was attacking in the direction of Pianqiao.
Chen Lin was ordered to take over the command of Chen Liangbi's team stationed in the direction of Pianqiao. Yang Chaodong and Yang Zhaolong happened to lead two teams to attack the South Fourth Route Army. Yang Zhaolong attacked Tongyuan Town on the right wing, and Yang Chaodong attacked Chen Lin on the left wing.
Under Chen Lin's meticulous command, Yang Chaodong's army was on the verge of collapse! Yang Chaodong hurriedly fled to Longxi Mountain with his men, gathered all the nearby defenders, and prepared to ambush Chen Lin here.
After Chen Lin appeased the local Miao people, he continued to march into Longxi. Chen Lin was cautious in using his troops. He wanted to send out ten waves of scouts at every step, so he easily detected Yang Chaodong's ambush!
So Chen Lin ordered his guerrilla general Chen Ce to lead the firearms army to lead the attack. Yang Chaodong's plan was seen through, but he still held the advantage from a high position.
Chen Lin's army was fierce and brave. Even though the terrain was steep, they charged forward with their shields in hand. In order to encourage their courage, Chen Lin actually ran to the front. Chen Lin charged without fear of death and was the first to climb Longxi Mountain!
There was a small school officer in front of him who saw his comrade being killed beside him. He was frightened for a moment and turned around to run away. At that moment, Chen Lin rushed up, yelled, drew his sword and killed the small school officer who retreated.
!
"If anyone dares to flee without fighting again! This is the fate! Just move forward, and those who retreat will die!"
Chen Lin raised his sword and shouted, covered in blood, so all the soldiers fought bravely. Seeing this, Yang Chaodong knew that the situation was over, and hurriedly led his men to abandon Longxi Mountain!
Chen Lin accidentally noticed that his lieutenant actually abandoned a large force to pursue the deserters. Although Yang Chaodong fled, he was not disturbed, so he arranged for four of his soldiers to set up an ambush at Yuanjiadu, and the remaining seven moved to Yezhu Mountain, while he himself
He quickly returned to Hailongtun to ask for help.
The deputy general was in the middle of a fight and did not notice Yuan Jiadu's ambush, so he was caught in the ambush and died in a panic!
When Chen Lin found out, he was furious. His soldiers left Longxi Mountain without stopping, organized a death squad, and ordered the commander-in-chief Wu Yinglong to lead the death squads in a mad charge, while he led the army to slowly surround Yuanjiadu's four-brand ambush.
After a night of fighting, all four soldiers were strangled, and no one was spared!
Chen Lin then ordered the soldiers to take advantage of the excitement, march day and night, and beat the Qipai soldiers severely at Kucaiping at the foot of Yezhu Mountain. The Qipai leader Zhang You, Xie Chaofeng, Shi Shengfeng and other seven people saw this and hurriedly led their people to escape.
In the wild boar mountain!
Chen Lin set up camp on the spot, and then heard the news that the entire army in Tongyuan Town was annihilated!
Chen Lin suddenly felt a twinge of joy in his heart. He had probably gone very deep in the fighting along the way. The South Route Army was probably the only one who had penetrated the deepest. As a result, one side of the friendly army was defeated, and the other side was blocked. The only ones who were closest were those who were following behind.
Chinese army!
Chen Lin suddenly became frightened. If Yang Yinglong launched a large army to encircle and suppress him, and he went deep alone without Xue Qiu's support from behind, wouldn't he be following in the footsteps of Tong Yuan Town?
So Chen Lin asked Xue Qiu to retreat overnight, but Xue Qiu saw at a glance that this was definitely Yang Yinglong's plan! Use the method of defeating one party to scare other armies!
Therefore, Xue Qiu severely stopped Chen Lin's intention to retreat! Chen Lin had no choice but to stay where he was and did not dare to go any further.
At this time, the head of Xie Chongjue conveyed by Jia Jing came into effect. Chen Lin had no choice but to continue to march. Fortunately, Xue Qiu sent someone to comfort him and said that he was on his right side, and sent Qin Zhen
With Suma Qiancheng supporting him, he can fight freely.
Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief and led his men to break through the Nanmu Bridge and stationed themselves in Meitan. At this time, all the soldiers of the Seven Brands gathered in the four bunkers of Qingshe, Changkan, Agate, and Baozi. The terrain was very dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Chen Lin then attacked Sandun first, then attacked Green Snake Tun, gathered all the seven-card soldiers in Green Snake Tun, and then wiped them out in one fell swoop!
Qin Zhensu and Ma Qiancheng also arrived with people at this time. Chen Lin ordered Qin Zhensu not to make any publicity, and quietly marched to the back of the village at night to ambush, and sent another force to guard Banjiao Pass to prevent the enemy from escaping!
After three days of hard fighting, the third village was quickly captured and all the soldiers of the Seven Brands were driven into the Green Snake Village! Then Chen Lin carried out several large boxes of gold and silver and shouted at the soldiers: "You are not afraid of death.
, Courageous warriors! Only those who deserve to enjoy glory and wealth!"
Then they selected the dead soldiers to climb the vines from behind the agate to the back of the mountain to fire off the cannon! There is a cliff behind the agate village, and it is obviously very dangerous to carry a huge cannon, but under the heavy reward, there must be brave men.
So many people signed up!
After those people climbed up the mountain easily and neatly with their upper bodies bare, they pulled the cannon up with ropes and fired the cannon at Green Snake Tun from a high position!
The Qipai bandit army suddenly became panicked! Chen Lin took advantage of the chaos and sent troops. After a night of fierce fighting, he successfully annihilated all the Qipai bandits at dawn! So far, all Banzhou's arrangements in the south were wiped out! Chen Lin's army headed in the direction of Hailongtun.
Let’s go!
But the North Road was not going so smoothly at this time. Liu Ting, who heard that he was going to be transferred, immediately stopped his march and submitted his resignation report directly to the court...
He had never been defeated in a battle in his life, and he couldn't bear that the imperial court actually wanted to send him to Jinling. He admitted that he had accepted Yang Yinglong's benefits, but it was because of the situation in the southwest that he had to compromise!
Now he is being punished for this kind of thing. Liu Ting feels aggrieved and is unwilling to endure such a punishment!
How could Liu Ting endure such humiliation? So he simply stopped the army and submitted a memorial to resign!
Jia Jing intervened, but the officials in the court insisted on holding Liu Ting accountable for accepting bribes from Yang Yinglong. They fiercely impeached Liu Ting and suggested that he be dismissed from his post and join the army!
Of course, it is impossible to really do this. After the court discussed it, and with Jia Jing's support, they finally decided to reduce Liu Ting's punishment and demote him to the position of affairs officer, which is the position of the right secretary of Nanjing. But in fact
It was just a false position, but now he still retains his original position, and Dai Zui continues to conquer Yang Yinglong.
Liu Ting was even more furious when he heard this! Of course he refused to accept this punishment!
What's more, the name given to him is to punish the thief, not to perform meritorious service! What do you mean? You just want to use me, Liu Ting, to quell the rebellion. When the thief Yang Yinglong is gone, I won't say that I have no merit, and I will weirdly hand over military power. Go away.
Jinling pension?
Liu Ting would never be willing to be so honest and ridiculed as a donkey who was demoted and killed! So he directly wrote a letter stating that he wanted to resign. If he has the ability, he will ask those officials to fight!
The two sides of the court were so mad at each other over this matter that Yang Yinglong benefited, and Hong Zhixunchen saw that Jia Jing was about to make another extraordinary feat, so he wanted Liu Tingli to do it for a while.
Ma Zhishi, get out!
Jia Jing's face was extremely ugly after hearing the news! It is a taboo for military strategists to change the situation before the battle! What's more, the war is in full swing at this time. If Liu Ting is told to stop the army or even get out, then the battle will be a fart.
!
So Jia Jing also directly wrote a letter, saying that Liu Ting is here, I am here, Liu Ting is leaving, haha, forgive me Jia Jing's limited ability, the overall situation of the Southwest, please ask the imperial court to ask Gong Gong to find someone else!
Replacing Liu Ting might not matter much, but replacing Jia Jing would be an operation almost like cerebral palsy!
Changing commanders on the spot? The new marshal doesn't know the situation of these soldiers at all. It takes time to choose the right candidate for command, and it takes time to understand the situation. Wait until the armies outside stop and report their situation back, and even the armies from all walks of life.
The general will come back to see the marshal. Every time he comes back, this battle will last at least three years!
So Jia Jing just gave up the fight. If this battle is not fought according to my ideas, Jia Jing, come on, I will give you the command staff and the military talisman. Who said Liu Ting should be replaced? You fight!
At this moment, everyone in the court suddenly stopped. Emperor Yongxi secretly laughed in his heart that Jia Jing had a way to deal with these officials. These officials must not dare to bear the responsibility for the collapse of the Southwest, so although he hated Jia Jing in his heart
It's itchy, but I have to admit it with my tail between my legs!
At this time, Cui Jingrong, the imperial censor, also stood up to defend Jia Jing and Liu Ting. He could no longer stand this matter. No matter what his political views were, it was a big deal at this time, so he should put the equal broadcast first.
That’s it!
With him as a step, the court officials also recognized him, even though he was the one who found the step...
Therefore, the punishment for Liu Ting was changed to meritorious service. When he received the decree from the court, Jia Jinghai breathed a sigh of relief and directly asked someone to deliver the decree to Liu Ting!
Liu Ting really has no time to care about this now, because at this time he is facing a surprise attack from Yang Yinglong himself!
After Yang Yinglong learned about the great victory at Wujiang, he didn't know whether he had lost his temper or felt that he was good again. He actually sent his two sons Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and his favorite general Yang Zhu to command tens of thousands of elite troops from Songkan, Yudu,
Luo Guchi launched a three-pronged attack to surprise Liu Ting's troops!
Although Liu Ting appeared to be in ruins on the surface, he was doing it to show his attitude to the court. He could not really win the battle. If this was the case, he would not have the confidence to fight with the officials in the court.
Fighting?
Liu Ting knew in his heart that being able to fight was the key to his invincibility! Now the court needed him, so he was qualified to negotiate terms! If he really lost the battle, what qualifications would he have to negotiate terms?
So when Liu Ting learned that Tong Yuanzhen's entire army had been wiped out, he keenly realized that Yang Yinglong's next opponent might be him!
Therefore, they planned to ambush 10,000 people in Luogu to meet the enemy from Songkan, and ambush 10,000 people outside the military camp to meet the enemy from Yudu. In addition, they secretly prepared an army to support them!
People were ordered to be vigilant day and night. Sure enough, at the ugly hour of the day, tens of thousands of Bozhou troops suddenly attacked Liu Ting's troops at night!
Liu Ting, who was well prepared, not only did not panic, but was excited and actively faced the battle. When the three armies of Yang Chaodong, Yang Weidong and Yang Zhu rushed into Liu Ting's camp, ambushes suddenly appeared everywhere!
Yang Zhu suddenly thought something was wrong! Knowing that Liu Ting had been prepared, he decided to retreat immediately. Yang Chaodong and Yang Weidong also realized it later and fled in a hurry!
The Bozhou soldiers had long heard of Liu Ting's reputation. At this time, they were fighting Liu Ting face to face. When they saw him personally going into battle with a big sword, they couldn't help but exclaimed: "Liu Ting is coming! Run!"
Liu Ting personally led his troops to attack, beheading hundreds of people, and pursued the fleeing enemy for fifty miles! However, although he fell into the trap and retreated, he was the elite of the Bozhou soldiers and actually retreated to Shihuguan in an orderly manner!
Yang Chaodong and others hurriedly retreated to Shihuguan to defend. Liu Ting chased to the pass and ordered people to camp on the spot. He was worried that Yang Chaodong and others would attack the camp at night, so he also ordered people to dig trenches to defend.
After receiving the news, Liu Ting burst into laughter and felt extremely grateful to Jia Jing. He even went so far as to order his family members to send a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver and a jade belt to Jia Jing and Cui Jingrong!
Jia Jing smiled bitterly and shook her head, secretly thinking that Liu Ting knew how to fight, but he was such a bad person! So Jia Jing sent the matter and all the stolen money to Emperor Yongxi without hesitation...
Unsurprisingly, Cui Jingrong did the same thing, so Liu Ting could have been punished and made meritorious service, but now it is estimated that after the war, he will have to be held accountable for this matter!
Jia Jing itself is unconditionally on Liu Ting's side, and people already dislike Jia Jing and the others. Wouldn't you be taking the initiative to give others the clues about Jia Jing and Cui Jingrong?
Even if people hold back now, when you have finished suppressing the rebellion and it is useless, they will use this matter to criticize you! Then they will also implicate Jia Jing and Cui Jingrong. They are obviously out of the overall situation, and you are like this
Once you do it, it becomes shit even if it’s not shit!
So this is the reason why Jia Jing and Cui Jingrong both handed over these things. First of all, both of them are not bribe-taking characters. Secondly, even if they are, they are too sensitive at this time!
At this time, the messenger sent by Chen Lin to deliver gifts to Jia Jing had just arrived at the door of the Chongqing government office when he saw Liu Ting's messenger being driven away mercilessly. He was so frightened that he immediately ran away!
The situation of Chen Lin and Liu Ting is similar. When he was fighting abroad, he was exposed by Chen Xing for bribing Chen Xing, the minister of the Ministry of War. He originally made a meritorious service, but in the end he was demoted...
How could Chen Xing's character accept bribes, so Chen Lin was thrown to the southwest to fight flies in a state of complete ignorance!
How can Chen Lin, who is full of ambition, be willing to accept this? His journey as a military commander has just begun, and it is about to end?!
Therefore, Chen Lin was very grateful to Jia Jing for giving him this opportunity to prove himself and leave the southwest! He was also afraid that Jia Jing would give him little shoes after the war and let someone else take the credit that originally belonged to him, so Chen Lin thought about it again and again, and decided to
Prepare to bribe Jia Jing...
You said you didn't understand these things and just fought hard, but you still thought that you were an expert in officialdom. Fortunately, Chen Lin was lucky this time, and Liu Tinghao took the trouble for him first!
After the envoy returned and told Chen Lin, Chen Lin was also shocked and broke into a cold sweat! He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief! Then he thought of Liu Ting with sympathy... Oh, what a hard-working brother!
At this time, Liu Ting, who thought he was reciprocating the favor, had no idea that he had stepped on a thunderbolt for Chen Lin. He was excitedly preparing to face the checkpoint in front of him. The Shihu Pass in front of him was very steep and heavily guarded. It was difficult to estimate from the front.
Capturing it, even defeating it, would probably cost a lot.
So Liu Ting never thought of attacking from the front! He led his army directly over Yelang Old City and attacked from behind!
They successively conquered the three passes of Drople, Sanpo and Wayaoping guarded by the Bozhou Army! Yang Chaodong and other generals saw that something was not going well and had to retreat first, so Liu Ting easily took Shihu Pass from behind!
Crossing Shihu Pass, we went straight to Loushanguan! Now that we had taken Shihuguan, Loushanguan was right in front of us! After Liu Ting rested for a day, he was ready to conquer the most dangerous and difficult Loushan Pass in Bozhou.
close!
Loushan has tens of thousands of peaks standing in competition, reaching straight into the sky. It is quite dangerous and strange! Among the vast woods and grass, there is only a narrow path only a few feet wide that can lead to people!
The Bozhou Army set up fourteen more wooden fences. There were deep ditches dug on both sides of the fences, which was extremely dangerous. It can be said that it was as difficult as climbing to the sky to fight up from such terrain!
Liu Ting repeated his old trick, splitting his troops into two groups on the left and right, all the way from the alley to the back of the pass, while he himself led the army to attack from the front of the pass!
When the Boshu Army's attention was focused on the enemy in front of them, little did they know that a strange force behind them had already entered the level!
For a time, the Bozhou soldiers were overwhelmed by the enemy! Liu Ting actually took Loushanguan easily in just one day with very few casualties!
After chasing the enemy all the way to Yong'an Village, the two armies were reunited. Veteran General Liu Ting was cautious and stopped pursuing. At this time, news of Tong Yuan Town's defeat came, which shocked Liu Ting!
The soldiers on the front line of Wujiang River were all wiped out. General Yang Xian, guard Chen Yunlong, Ruan Wangqi, Bai Mingkui and commander Yang Xuzhi were all killed in the battle. The casualty rate of the 30,000 soldiers under Tong Yuanzhen was as high as 90%! The corpses of the Yan army soldiers were blocked
The river course was blocked, and the Wujiang River even stopped flowing!
Although Liu Ting was heartbroken, he had no time to think about this for others, because this news also represented another news: "Yang Yinglong controls the Wujiang River and can threaten Loushanguan at any time!"
Therefore, Liu Ting ordered the soldiers to join forces and set up camp, dividing the 30,000 soldiers and horses into three groups, and connecting the three groups together so that they could act as horns to each other and be prepared for Yang Yinglong's sneak attack at any time!
The first team defended Loushanguan as the base camp, the second team occupied Baishikou as the waist camp, and the third team held Yong'an Village as the front camp!
These three lines of soldiers and horses guarded three points to form a steel Great Wall with three points and one line at the beginning, middle and end! They echoed each other and supported each other to guard against Yang Yinglong's counterattack at any time!
Liu Ting thought he was infallible, but what he didn't expect was that precisely because of one person, he almost went the same way as Tong Yuan Town!
That person is the favorite general that Yang Yinglong has always relied on: Mu Zhao!
