"Instruct Han Donghu and Su Lie not to be too impatient!"

Han Qian stood in front of Eagle Mouth Cliff, staring at the changes in the battle situation ahead.

Such a heart-wrenching victory made Han Donghu and Su Lie forget Han Qian's warning before the battle, and took the lead personally leading hundreds of elite soldiers to attack from the east and west wings.

The river valley to the north of Wujin Ridge was flooded with water, and the terrain along the foot of the slope was rugged, making it difficult for soldiers to form formations to fight. Han Donghu and Su Lie took the lead, rushing forward and fighting fiercely.

There was no resistance for the defeated troops along the way, but when they were about to approach Meitang Mountain, three to four hundred enemy soldiers formed a formation in front of the dense forest and resisted extremely tenaciously. Han Donghu and Su Lie led their troops to charge twice, but were blocked both times.

Han Qian was worried that Han Donghu and Su Lie were eager to win, which would lead to unnecessary casualties. It would be too embarrassing. It was rare to directly issue orders to interfere with the command of the front camp.

The advantage of the bronze telescope not only allowed Han Qian to clearly grasp the dynamics of the battle situation, but also Han Donghu, Su Lie and other generals who were leading the battle in the front line could clearly see what was happening here even if they were four or five miles away.

Semaphore instructions.

This makes the communication of military orders and tactical adjustments extremely rapid and effective.

The traditional method of advancing with drum beats and retreating with gold medals is extremely difficult to adapt to complex battlefields, and the requirements for grassroots military attachés are extremely high, but this is where Tangyi soldiers have the advantage.

Seeing Han Donghu, Su Lie slowed down his pace from the front, stabilized his position and waited for support from the rear. Han Qian handed the bronze telescope to Yuan Guowei who couldn't wait.

Han Daochang also thought about grabbing the bronze telescope, but thinking about the treasure in his stomach, even if the bronze telescope could bring the battle situation ten times closer to his eyes, he might not be able to see the subtle changes. He felt that he

It's better not to cause trouble at this time.

Yuan Guowei has long known that Xuzhou can make such bronze telescopes, which can see distant objects as if they are in front of you, but the number is quite limited. At present, in addition to the rations for generals at the Yuhou level, the Military Intelligence Staff Department has some for reconnaissance of enemy terrain; at that time,

No one has successfully imitated it yet, and he didn't have the nerve to ask Han Qian for one.

It was just that at this time, the sky was cloudless and clear, and he looked at the battlefield with the help of a copper telescope, which was quite addictive.

"The silt blockage at the Meitang Pass has been washed away by water. Tian Chengzheng ordered Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng to enter the battlefield in a light boat - Xu Mingzhen is still on the top of the Meitang Mountain and has not escaped. We want to catch Xu Mingzhen. Let's do it now.

It's big!" Feng Yi didn't have a bronze telescope, but he could still barely see the situation where the silt blockage at Meitang Pass was being cleared. He shouted excitedly, wishing he could rush to the front line to replace Tian Cheng, and Feng Xuan took over the battlefield command.

Enjoy the feeling of commanding thousands of troops.

Of course there are no decent warships in the mountains, but the upper reaches of the Nan Feishui River have relatively developed main and tributary water systems in the mountains. There are also many mountain lakes covering an area of ​​tens to tens of acres, and the mountain people make a living by fishing and hunting. Before the war,

Many fishing boats were also collected and transformed into small paddle warships so that they could play a role at critical moments.

Previously, there was siltation at Meitang Pass, and the water potential could not accumulate. It was unknown when the water potential would change significantly. The shuttle-shaped paddle boat, which was less than three feet long, had poor stability and could not withstand the impact of large waves. Eight hundred

Elite soldiers and four hundred oars and water are waiting at the rear.

After the silt blockage at Meitang Pass was cleared and the water situation from Meitang Mountain to Wujin Ridge stabilized, Tian Cheng called Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng led his troops to the front in a light boat so that they could use the warfare in the water.

Use weapons, bows and crossbows to cover the enemy's rear, further disrupting the enemy's forces and expanding the results of the battle.

This is the advantage formed after the flood destroyed the enemy camp. Although the enemy soldiers are still thick and dense, their command system is completely chaotic. Any small group of elite soldiers from Tangyi soldiers who throw themselves into the front line will be defeated by the enemy.

The army caused great chaos and casualties.

"Xu Mingzhen saw that the situation was over and finally escaped..." Yuan Guowei returned the bronze telescope to Han Qian and said.

Han Qian pulled up the bronze telescope and saw that Xu Mingzhen and others could no longer be seen from the top of Meitang Mountain. The Shouzhou Army on the southern slope of Meitang Mountain was leaderless and fell into complete chaos.

Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng also immediately adjusted their plans. Instead of stopping at the southern slope of Meitang Mountain, they led their elite canoes directly through the Meitang Pass. They probably wanted to go around to the north side of Meitang Mountain to establish a position to intercept the defeated troops.

No matter how calm Han Qian was, he couldn't help but grab Wang Jun's hand excitedly.

The main camp of the Shouzhou Army has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and they are huddled in chaos on the north and south slopes of Meitang Mountain. If Zhao Wuji and He Liufeng can successfully establish interception positions on the north side of Meitang Mountain, it will mean that they

The harvest from this battle will far exceed expectations.

The raiding troops had held on to Shenjiaji for so long and had to withstand heavy casualties before holding on to this line. At the same time, due to limited troop strength, their ability to continue fighting in pursuit of defeat was greatly weakened.

No matter how bold Han Qian was, he did not dare to expect that he would use only three or four thousand soldiers who were severely exhausted to take advantage of the victory to attack Anfeng Village, where the enemy was already on guard.

This also means that the key to the victory of Wujinling will be how much of the enemy troops in Meitang Mountain can be intercepted. This also directly determines the extent to which the Shouzhou Army will be weakened by this battle.

After Zhao Wuji sent back the news, confirming that they had established a foothold on the north side of Meitang Mountain and that the enemy was unable to organize a decent breakout and counterattack, Tian Cheng ordered a small group of elites on standby to set off from the two wings of Wujin Ridge in batches to pursue and escape into the dense forest of Qiu Mountain.

Defeat the enemy within a short period of time and further expand the results of the battle.

At this time, the soldiers and civilians who were driven into the water from the enemy's front camp were driven to the fence wall. The defenders made way for them to climb over and gather in the designated camp behind the fence wall to be guarded.

Inside the barrier wall and the reserve team on standby below Yingzui Cliff, more than two thousand generals marched towards Yingzui Cliff, cheering and making earth-shattering shouts.

"I can finally sleep peacefully for a few days," Han Qian held Wang Jun's hand and tried his best to look calm and calm, and said, "Then everything will be left to Tian Cheng, Feng Xuan and the others to handle, here.

After standing for a long time, my legs are tired."

Seeing Han Qian and Wang Jun leaving side by side, Feng Yi felt that as a qualified follower, he had to follow Han Qian, but he also felt that it would be very satisfying to stand on the Eagle Beak Cliff and watch the Tangyi soldiers chase and defeat them.

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Han Daochang. Yuan Guowei did not move, patting his forehead and thinking, Han Qian was sleeping with Wang Jun in his arms, why was he joining in the fun?

He immediately snatched the bronze telescope from Yuan Guowei's hand and said: "I just recently learned to deduce the changes in the battle situation. It's a moment like this that I have to learn hard."

"Are you imitating me at this time? Kong Xirong can do his own thing, but you are serious now, can you catch up?" Yuan Guowei couldn't laugh or cry, but at his age, he was too embarrassed to fight Feng Yi for the bronze telescope.

…………

Wen Ruilin fled back to Anfeng Village in embarrassment. Wen Ruilin turned around and looked at the defeated troops rushing into the village in panic. He wanted to cry but had no tears. He never expected that he would be defeated so miserably.

In this battle, Shouzhou mobilized more than 40,000 elite soldiers and more than 20,000 elite civilians. Even before the defeat, they still had 30,000 elite soldiers and 20,000 elite civilians gathered south of Meitang Mountain. So they were defeated?

Could it be said that Han Qian is really invincible?

More importantly, they still don’t know how all of this happened?

There were few decent rainfalls throughout the autumn and summer, and they were always watching the changes in the water flow under the ice in the river. How could Han Qian accumulate so much water overnight that it would flood the valley from Nantang Mountain to Wujinling?

Is it possible that Han Qian really has magical powers to change things?

Xu Mingzhen's face turned pale, and she grasped the edge of the wall with her hands. The bulging veins seemed to break the masonry between her fingers.

Xu Jin and several generals commanded their meager guards and heavy troops in front of the village, and placed rows of horses, deer antlers and other obstacles on the river beach in front of the Nanzhai gate.

If they want to gather the defeated troops, they can't just close all the gates of the village like frightened birds, but they must also be prepared for Tangyi soldiers to chase them one after another.

In addition to some of the heavy troops in Anfeng Village who were responsible for transporting combat supplies, most of them were wounded and sick soldiers who had been withdrawn from the battlefield in the early stage. Therefore, although there were eight or nine thousand soldiers in Yongfeng Village, they had little combat effectiveness.

Since the Nanfeishui River from Meitang Mountain to the north is covered by ice and has not yet melted, the upstream water carries a large number of corpses, debris, and ice floes that break and accumulate after impact.

There were more and more river ice, and soon a large ice jam was formed four miles north of Meitang Mountain. After the turbid water was blocked, it accumulated very high, overflowing the post road that was being repaired on the east side, and then continued along the road.

Follow the terrain and flood the valley below.

Xu Mingzhen and the others were the first to escape by wading through the water on horseback. Even though they gathered two to three thousand soldiers and horses on the way, the road was washed away by the flood, and new ice jams could collapse at any time. They could only watch as Tangyi soldiers only used six soldiers.

Seven hundred armored soldiers penetrated to the north of Meitang Mountain and intercepted their 30,000 to 40,000 troops from the south.

"The mountains to the north of Wujin Ridge are relatively gentle, and there are no dangerous ravines in the Chongling Mountains that are difficult to cross. Even if the Tangyi soldiers attack very decisively, it is absolutely impossible to intercept all the soldiers and horses in Meitang Mountain. Huo Guogong's command

Most of the generals are elite, and they should be able to break out from the dense forests on both sides at any cost..." Wen Ruilin comforted Xu Mingzhen and said.

"I hope so?" Xu Mingzhen said in a hoarse voice. At this moment, he seemed to have aged several dozen years. His eyes were no longer as powerful as before, and were full of regret and tangled pain.

Perhaps to verify Wen Ruilin's prediction, after dark, the number of defeated soldiers who gathered at Anfeng Village began to increase again - this battle was not so tragic that the entire army was annihilated.

"Quickly inform Xu Sizhao and Zhao Mingting that there should be no delay after receiving the military order, and they must immediately withdraw the troops and horses on the west bank of Chao Lake to the north of Longtan River to prevent any changes!"

Xu Mingzhen summoned several guards to him, handed them several signed letters of order, and immediately rushed to Chaozhou on horseback to deliver the order; then he signed another order letter and immediately rushed to Chuzhou with the messenger.

After Wenbo received the military order, he abandoned Chuzhou and other fortresses and withdrew his troops to Mopan Valley between the Wujian Mountains to serve.

Wen Ruilin knew that Xu Mingzhen had lost the confidence to recapture Wujin Ridge and drive Han Qian out of Huaiyang Mountain.

On the one hand, it is necessary to ensure that the garrison on the west bank of Chaohu Lake will not be attacked from the front and back by Tangyi soldiers and Zuo Longque troops, and they must withdraw to the north of Longtan River as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the ice on the Longtan River melts, Tangyi navy warships forcefully enter the Longtan River, and Han Qian leads the elite Tangyi soldiers to fight out from the east slope of Huaiyang Mountain, why do they think that the west of Chaohu and the south of Longtan River

Can the garrison break out?

Is it possible that they still have the ability to launch another large-scale battle with the Tangyi soldiers on both sides of the Longtan River at this time?

On the other hand, after they withdrew some of their troops to the north of Longtan River, the passage between Tangyi and Huaiyang Mountain was completely opened. They had to guard against Han Qian passing through the Longtan River and into the hinterland of Huaiyang Mountain to move more Tang troops.

The elite soldiers of the city were transferred to Wujinling. At the same time, their tragic defeat would also encourage the large and small cottage forces in the Huaiyang Mountains to accept the reorganization of the Tangyi soldiers without any struggle, thus increasing the strength of the Tangyi soldiers.

In particular, the Zuowu Guards also fought their way out of Tongbai Mountain and Huaiyang Mountain Pass. If they want to protect the basic areas of Huo Shouhao and the Three Prefectures, they must gather more elite soldiers and horses to the area north of Huaiyang Mountain.

At this time, we can only resolutely give up on Chuzhou City.

To be honest, Xu Mingzhen still hesitated. If they had abandoned Chuzhou City as soon as possible and followed Wen Bo to lead his troops to attack the east slope of Huaiyang Mountain along the Longtan Valley regardless of casualties, they might not have suffered such a defeat today.

It's just that Wen Ruilin can't blame Xu Mingzhen for hesitating. Encircling Sanque is originally the right way to fight. What's more, he was convinced before yesterday that he was absolutely sure to drive the Tangyi soldiers out of Huaiyang Mountain this time...

"Xu Mingzhen was worried that the troops and horses on the west bank of Chao Lake would be cut off by our army, so she would immediately evacuate to the north of Longtan River. She ordered Kong Xirong to lead his troops out of Huaiyang Mountain and take a look at the enemy's Quedian Village from Caiziling. However, he could not

In order to stalk the enemy, Lin Jingzong was ordered to lead a navy warship to spy on the Longtan River, so that the enemy could enter the Longtan River as soon as possible after retreating to the north. The Military Intelligence Staff Department released the scouts and scouting horses to block the east foot of Huaiyang Mountain as much as possible.

aisle……"

Han Qian said he wanted to have a good and peaceful sleep for a few days, but how could he actually be relaxed?

The Nanfeishui River Valley to the north of Meitang Mountain was flooded and the road was muddy. They didn't have to worry about the Shouzhou Army counterattacking in a short period of time, but it was difficult for them to use troops against Anfeng Village to the north.
To be continued...
