Earlier, when Liu Ting captured three caves, Mu Zhao took the initiative to surrender. Mu Zhao said that he was forced by Yang Yinglong and had to rebel, and he was willing to lead his people to submit to the court and jointly attack Yang Yinglong!
Since the purpose of Liu Ting and others was to suppress the rebellion, and Jia Jing repeatedly emphasized the need to unite all the forces that could be united, it was not necessary to kill them all. Those who were willing to join the officers and soldiers in reforming their evil ways should be given a chance.
In addition, Mu Zhao, as Yang Yinglong's general, should know a lot about Yang Yinglong, so Liu Ting and others reported to the court and ordered Mu Zhao to acquit himself.
Although Mu Zhao ostensibly followed Liu Ting to fight the enemy bravely, he actually secretly sent someone to tell Yang Yinglong the news about Liu Tingjun!
Among Liu Ting's troops, there was a commander named Wang Fen. He was very brave on weekdays. During battles, he dared to take the lead and often charged at the front!
Every time Liu Ting discusses strategy, Wang Fen is always the first to ask for a fight! He is so brave!
But the problem is, all he has left is bravery... In fact, he is a foolhardy man!
The progress behind Liu Ting was so smooth, it can almost be said that he won every battle! This also made Wang Fen despise the Bozhou soldiers even more! The consecutive victories confuse him and make him feel that the Bozhou soldiers are just a bunch of idiots!
Simply vulnerable!
And he will eventually have to pay the price for his arrogance and ignorance...
Wang Fen was careless and underestimated the enemy, and did not take Liu Ting's warning seriously at all. She only thought that Liu Ting was too suspicious!
Where do the Bozhou soldiers have the courage to attack us now? Even if they did, they are just noobs who come to give us military exploits again!
Therefore, Wang Fen completely ignored Liu Ting's warning and actually led his troops to station at "Songmen Yazhichong" alone, which was several miles away from other army camps!
"Ya" refers to the narrow place between two mountains, and "Chong" means flat land, so the so-called "Songmen Ya Chong" refers to Songmen, the location of the flat land between the two mountains.
Anyone who has read a little bit of military literature does not need to read too much, just read Thirty-Six Strategies, Six Strategies and Six Strategies. Anyone who has a little understanding of war knows that when stationed abroad, he should not be stationed in such a place.
The place!
Lying in the middle of the flat ground between two mountains, the enemy troops charged down from the mountains, occupying a commanding advantage and almost naturally placing themselves under siege!
Lying down in such a place is like asking the enemy to make your own dumplings! You have found a good Feng Shui place for yourself!
Liu Ting and all the soldiers were busy setting up the defense of the camp, so no one noticed Wang Fen's death-seeking behavior. With an army of over 30,000 people, no one even noticed that Wang Fen was missing!
No one noticed, but Mu Zhao did!
Mu Zhao had been fighting with Yang Yinglong for many years. How could he not see that this was a good opportunity for a surprise attack? So Mu Zhao secretly sent someone to tell Yang Yinglong that Wang Fen was now alone! It was a good time to attack the official army!
Yang Yinglong was occupying the natural barrier of Wujiang River at this time. When he heard that Loushanguan was lost, he was eager to recapture Loushanguan. When he heard what Mu Zhao said, he couldn't help but shouted with joy: "God help me!"
Then he personally ordered his troops and horses to prepare for a surprise attack on Liu Ting's troops. When Liu Ting heard that a large army was coming, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy. Who knew that Yang Yinglong did not attack Loushanguan, but headed toward Songmen?
Attack in the direction!
After Liu Ting was confused for a moment, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked the soldiers to check which troops were still outside. Only after this inspection did they find out that Wang Fen's troops were not within the three garrison points!
Liu Ting couldn't help but gritted his teeth and knocked hard on the parapet! He hurriedly took the people to rescue Wang Fen! At the same time, he ordered the three armies to stand still!
However, due to the tight distance, Liu Ting had strictly implemented Liu Ting's previous orders! The army garrison Chen Dagang and the Tianquan Sixth Rebellion from Yazhou, Sichuan came to support the army, so Yang Yu hurriedly went to rescue Wang Fen!
At this time, Yang Yinglong attacked from a high position, and Wang Fen's tribe had already been surrounded! There was no way to save him! Wang Fen's tribe struggled to break through, but there was nothing they could do!
Wang Fen looked at the Bozhou soldiers rushing from all directions in panic, and completely paid the price for his arrogance and ignorance!
Chen Dagang and Yang Yu, who had just arrived, also penetrated too far forward. After Yang Yinglong dealt with Wang Fen, he turned around and bit them!
Mu Zhao, the original "close comrade-in-arms", also broke out at this time and led his troops to besiege Chen Dagang and Yang Yu! The two of them couldn't help but turn pale with shock!
Under the crazy attack of Bozhou elite soldiers and Mu Zhao, Chen Dagang and Yang Yu, who were caught off guard, died quickly! Liu Ting, who rushed over at this time, was furious when he saw this scene!
Immediately, he ordered his generals Ma Kongying and Wu Dunji to divide their troops and attack in two directions. Yang Yinglong's army could not stand up at this time, and was quickly defeated by Liu Ting's army!
Yang Yinglong retreated hastily. At this time, he looked back and saw that under Liu Ting's handsome flag, it was Liu Ting who was charging towards him with a sword! The two friends who were originally romantic, met again in a battlefield where swords and guns were flying.
Go up! And they all want to kill each other! I have to say that things are unpredictable!
Liu Ting also discovered Yang Yinglong at this time, and couldn't help but flew into a rage! He yelled to capture the leader of the thief alive. When his soldiers knew that Yang Yinglong was personally leading the troops, they were all high-spirited to fight! In an instant, Yang Yinglong's army collapsed.
!
Fortunately, with Mu Zhao's desperate protection, Yang Yinglong was able to escape, but Mu Zhao was chopped into pieces by the furious Liu Tingjun!
This time Yang Yinglong was almost captured alive by Liu Ting, and he no longer dared to spy on Loushanguan! Although Liu Ting regretted not being able to capture Yang Yinglong, he could only defend Loushanguan first and hurriedly asked Jia Jing for help.
!
Jia Jing was extremely excited when he heard the news. After breaking through Loushanguan, Bozhou was no longer in danger! He only waited for the four troops from the south to conquer Wujiang and immediately besieged Hailongtun!
Hailongtun is quite majestic, Jia Jing has seen it with her own eyes, but the construction of Hailongtun is so precipitous and majestic, it is equivalent to the Berlin air defense tower. By the time it is used, it will basically be at the end of the war!
Yang Yinglong is already a grasshopper after autumn and can’t jump around for a few more days!
So Jia Jing sent a letter to the Eighth Route Army at the same time, passing the news to the entire army to boost morale! Encourage the soldiers to work hard and attack Hailongtun!
At the same time, Jia Jing also handed over the choice to Xue Qiu. After all, Xue Qiu was now the nominal commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, so Jia Jing handed over Liu Ting's request to Xue Qiu.
Xue Qiu couldn't help but cheer up after hearing the news, and hurriedly ordered Qin Zhensu and Ma Qiancheng, as well as Ran Yulong, the envoy of Youyang Xuanwei Division who had made a brilliant breakthrough in Guanba, to lead troops to support Liu Ting!
Xue Qiu keenly realized that after the Northern Fourth Route Army broke through Loushanguan, the pressure faced by the Southern Fourth Route Army would be much less!
Because Yang Yinglong valued the Fourth Route Army of the South very much before. Although Liu Ting was very strong and frightened Yang Yinglong, in fact the Fourth Route Army of the South also made Yang Yinglong very weak!
Because after conquering Wujiang, it can be said that it can be said that it directly penetrated into Hailongtun, Yang Yinglong's confidant, so Yang Yinglong was so surprised before to annihilate Tong Yuanzhen's headquarters!
So Xue Qiu is actually very anxious now. The four northern armies are about to attack Hailong Tun, while the southern four armies, except for Chen Lin's troops who have defeated the Qipai bandit army, almost everyone has made little progress!
Xue Qiu was anxious. After ordering his Chinese army to support Chen Lin, he rushed to Wujiang to supervise the battle. At this time, internal strife was breaking out in the Surabaya garrison tent!
The reason is that when Wujiang was conquered, all the troops were fighting in the front. Only the Zhenxiong Division of the Shuixi Army, that is, An Yaochen's men, did not attack and were saved. Therefore, at this time, the generals naturally doubted An.
Yaochen!
An Yaochen is also a chieftain, so almost everyone here does not suspect that An Yaochen and Yang Yinglong are colluding!
An Yaochen was furious. When Tongyuan Town was wiped out in Wujiang, his soldiers had already broken through Kuzhu Pass and Banbaling. However, due to the defeat of Wujiang, An Yaochen faced the Bozhou Army from Wujiang.
During the encirclement and suppression, they had no choice but to retreat to Surabaya.
It was precisely because An Yaochen's Zhenxiong Army was stationed in Surabaya that the Bozhou Army did not continue to advance towards Guiyang! Otherwise, with the thousands of remnants of Tongyuan Town, it would have been impossible to defend Surabaya!
But now you turn around and call me a traitor and a spy?
"Then please explain to us, Official An, why the entire army was wiped out and only your Shuixi Army survived? Why didn't you listen to the military order? I remember clearly that the military order at that time clearly ordered the entire army to attack.
?Could it be that...your Zhenxiong Army is not part of the entire army?"
Brothers An Yaochen and An Jiangchen looked extremely ugly. After all, An Yaochen was young and energetic, so he got angry and shouted: "You fucking fart!"
"Who are you saying farts!"
Immediately, Xu Cheng, the commander-in-chief who made the sarcastic remarks, also stood up. The commander-in-chief around them hurriedly grabbed the two of them. An Yaochen blushed and shouted: "You have been wiped out. You have nothing to do with us."
Relationship! Do you dare to say that we did not obey the command? Who was the first war elephant to lead the charge?"
Xu Cheng also yelled angrily: "You still have the fucking nerve to talk about war elephants? Bullshit war elephants! In turn, they trampled many of our own people to death! You did it on purpose! You are the spies of Thief Yang!"
An Yaochen was furious and was about to draw his sword for a duel: "My eldest brother has said long ago that war elephants cannot be at the forefront. It's you who insist on doing this! You Han army just don't understand shit! You don't understand at all.
Know how to fight!"
"What did you say!"
This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest, and several general soldiers jumped up: "You are a yellow-haired boy, you are worthy of saying that we don't know how to fight!"
An Yaochen sneered: "My Zhenxiong Army and I captured Kuzhu Pass and Banbaling. Where were you at that time? You were stabbed into the water in Wujiang River and became a bastard! If you hadn't held me back, I would have been there long ago.
The attack reached Hailongtun! Now you have suffered a defeat, but you are blaming us!"
The generals and commanders were immediately furious. Although they were not the ones who fought the battle, and most of the people who fought the battle were dead...but this was indeed the case, so they were quite angry!
The two sides immediately started to fight openly and openly. At this moment, Li Yingxiang, who had been silent all the time, shouted: "That's enough! Shut up!"
The generals and commanders suppressed their tempers. Li Yingxiang glanced at everyone, and everyone sat back angrily. An Jiangchen, who had been keeping a dark face and remained silent, also said to An Yaochen in a deep voice: "Okay, sit down.
Down!"
An Yaochen snorted coldly, looked at the commanders with disdain, and then sat down obediently. The atmosphere between the two sides was still very stiff!
Li Yingxiang glanced at the crowd with a sullen face and said: "You have all seen the military report. Among the Eighth Route Army, we are the only ones who have not only failed to make any achievements, but have been beaten to the point of crying for father and mother!"
All the generals lowered their heads. Li Yingxiang slapped the table and gritted his teeth: "And you still have the nerve to shirk your responsibilities here and criticize friendly forces here! Shame!"
Li Yingxiang said solemnly: "The battle of Wujiang has passed. If you lose, you are defeated! What is there to shirk? Can shirk break Wujiang! Do you blame others? You haven't done anything for so long, and you are being pointed at your nose and scolded.
You deserve to help the trash!"
All the soldiers lowered their heads in shame, and then Li Yingxiang said to An Yaochen on the side: "You said you were wronged, you have to provide evidence!"
Just when An Yaochen was about to open his mouth, Li Yingxiang waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about Kuzhu Pass and Banbaling. Kuzhu Pass and Banbaling are not in our hands now!"
An Yaochen shook his head and stopped talking. Li Yingxiang said in a deep voice: "Everyone is marching, and there are clearly orders in front of them. Why are you going to fight at Kuzhuguan Banbaling? How do you expect us to trust you?"
An Yaochen also closed his mouth and stopped talking. Then Li Yingxiang said: "To prove yourself, you can't just open and close your mouth! That has to be on the battlefield!"
Li Yingxiang said in a deep voice: "You said that you lost half of Kuzhu Pass because there was no support from the army. Now that the army has arrived, go to the battlefield and truly capture the pass for everyone to see! That's who you are.
If you think the Han generals are incompetent, then use your military skills to slap them in the face! Not with the sword in your hand! It is for killing enemies, not friendly forces!"
An Yaochen was silent, stood up and hugged Li Yingxiang with a fist in his arms. Just as Li Yingxiang was about to say something else, he saw that the military tent outside had been lifted up, and it was none other than Xue Qiu, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Fourth Route Army.
Upon seeing this, Li Yingxiang hurriedly stood up and clasped his fists: "Commander!" The soldiers obviously did not expect Xue Qiu to appear here, so they all stood up and bowed their hands in greeting.
Xue Qiu smiled and waved his hand, stepped forward and sat on the main seat, and then said to all the officers and soldiers: "Sit down! Sit down!" Li Yingxiang and others then took their seats.
Xue Qiu smiled and said to Li Yingxiang: "I came over to see how the fighting on the Wujiang River is going... You should have got the news, right?"
Li Yingxiang cupped his hands in shame and said: "I am ashamed, general! I already know the movements of other armies, but our army has not seen any success yet. It is really shameless to face the commander! It is shameless to face Ninghou!"
Xue Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, you can't say that. You have been defeated before. After all, you have just formed it, so you can't be impatient. Besides, Yang Thief occupies the natural danger of Wujiang River, and it is indeed not easy to break through."
Xue Qiu said but still looked at Li Yingxiang seriously and said: "But you have to hurry up now, you know, the other armies will soon surround Hailongtun, and then you will still be blocked here... Ninghou's
It doesn't matter if your temper is good or bad, it's not good either."
Li Yingxiang perked up and nodded in agreement. Xue Qiu then sighed and said, "Do you have any ideas?"
Li Yingxiang hurriedly said to Xue Qiu: "Yes, the general already has an idea!" After that, he told Xue Qiu about his tactical arrangement. Xue Qiu nodded and said: "Then implement it as soon as possible. During this time
I am here to supervise the battle personally, and we must completely break through the Wujiang defense line tomorrow!"
"Yes! The general will get the order!"
Xue Qiu then stood up and said to An Yaochen, the minister of Anjiang on the side: "You two must be members of the Shuixi An clan?"
An Jiangchen hurriedly stood up with his younger brother and bowed his hands to Xue Qiu. Xue Qiu smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite. Before the war started, Marquis Ning personally visited Mrs. Shexiang of your mansion, and...
…Well, the eldest lady is also a good friend, so you two don’t need to be too polite!”
An Jiangchen and An Yaochen looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces. Ninghou... is good friends with their eldest lady? Who is it? It can't be Zimo...
Xue Qiu stood up with a smile and said: "I have heard about the two of you. It is true that the defeat cannot be blamed on the two of you. However, since we are in the same army, we are the robe of the same army. We should be of one heart and one mind.
We must overcome Shi Jian together, put down the chaos in the southwest, and wipe out the Yang thieves as soon as possible, I need your help, please!"
An Jiangchen hurriedly raised his hands and said: "How dare you disobey your order! I, the Shuixi An clan, have always followed the imperial court! Guarding the southwest for the imperial court is our bounden duty! I dare not say the word "please!"
An Jiangchen was actually a little dissatisfied with the Han generals for passing these responsibilities onto their brothers, so he just allowed An Yaochen to confront the general commanders.
But An Jiangchen has not forgotten the teachings of Mrs. Shexiang since he was a child, so he still doesn't want to break up with the court. After all, these people are the army of the court. If they say anything wrong, they will catch them by the pigtails and give them water.
Xi'an wears small shoes to really get rid of the wax!
Now Li Yingxiang and Xue Qiu are playing the good side and the other is playing the bad side. After this communication, the An Jiangchen brothers are almost out of anger. They immediately expressed that they will definitely follow the lead of Xue Qiu and Li Yingxiang!
Li Yingxiang couldn't help but feel relieved. After all, the soldiers he had hastily mobilized were mixed, so he still needed the help of the Shuixi Army and the Zhenxiong Army of the Shuixi'an brothers. It must be good that the two brothers were willing to help!
At this moment, the morale of the generals was boosted, and they united together to move towards the same goal: to conquer the Wujiang River! Complete Jia Jing's strategic thinking and encircle Hailongtun!
