Besides, Gao Jie beat his horse and galloped to the rear, and from a distance, he saw that the two armies were fighting a few miles to the north, and at this time the sky was getting dark and dense, and he couldn't see how many people on the other side were, anyway, the river embankment was crowded.

"Flower Horse Liu, Flower Horse Liu......" Gao Jie ran all the way and yelled all the way, and the soldiers along the way dodged one after another, until they were 100 meters away from the battlefield before they met Liu Liangzuo: "We are blocked......"

"Lao Tzu is not blind" Gao Jie yelled: "How many thieves are there?" ”

"It's only two thousand to die, it's a fucking good thing that Lao Tzu found out early, otherwise they would all be killed and block the back road, then we will be caught in the urn!" Liu Liangzuo gritted his teeth and said.

Because of Liu Zeqing's advice, he rode three hundred to the rear to inspect, just arrived at Sturgeon Town, he saw that there were thousands of thieves swarming along the lake in the west, which can be frightened by the officers and soldiers, while sending people to pass Liu Liangzuo urgently, and then took the initiative to meet the battle, as a battlefield veteran, they are experienced and know that if the back road is blocked, there is a possibility that the whole army will be annihilated, so even if the enemy is defeated, they have to hurry up to buy time for the rear.

Liu Liangzuo was also so shocked that he almost fell off his horse after getting the report, you must know that the intersection in the north is extremely narrow, and the width is only a few dozen meters, if it is blocked by the thief army...... Hey, I'll go, immediately send someone to inform Gao Jie, and at the same time lead 3,000 troops to kill him.

The road suddenly became extremely far away, and by the time it was still a mile from the junction, the three hundred officers and men who had met had been driven back by the thieves.

"Can't lose the intersection! Kill it! Kill out......" Huama Liu shouted wildly, letting the cavalry rush over frantically, trying to break through with cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the other party was also prepared, and the cavalry was also squeezed in, and the thief army was to block the officers and soldiers in the river embankment and squeeze and crush them little by little......

Gao Jie looked at it for a while, the enemy and us fought very fiercely for the intersection, but although the officers and soldiers had the advantage of troops, they suffered from the narrow terrain and could not throw their troops up.

"If it continues like this, it will be dark, which is extremely unfavorable to us" Gao Jie jumped up and down anxiously, but he couldn't think of any good way, and suddenly looked at the lake and was stunned: "Huama Liu, your people can swim?" ”

Liu Liangzuo instantly understood what Gao Jie meant, the intersection in front was narrow and there were troops but they couldn't throw in, and the soldiers in the rear could only be in a hurry, Gao Jie wanted them to swim around the rear to fight.

"There are some who will, it's just that the thief army can't easily let them go ashore......" Liu Zeqing was worried, Gao Jie couldn't help but scolded him: "You fucking have no brains, not to mention that they may not find out when it's dark, but if they find out that blocking them doesn't just contain and disperse their forces......"

it! Huama Liu patted his head: "Confused, confused, confused......" Then the two of them dispatched soldiers who could swim in the water from both sides to swim behind the enemy, Liu Liangzuo's soldiers were familiar with the water after years of fighting in the south, and there were thousands of them.

Not to mention that this trick really worked, thousands of people crossed the water from the two wings, although they were discovered by the thief army, but it also caused great panic, everyone knew that once these soldiers were left behind, it would cause tragic consequences, so they began to block everywhere but made the defense of the intersection weak, Liu Zeqing and Gao Jie broke through with a force!

The officers and soldiers broke through, and the thief army was tired of coping with the two waterways and could no longer form an effective blockade, on the contrary, the officers and soldiers were killed and retreated, and finally fled west along the lake, Gao Jie and Huama Liu did not dare to chase after them in the dark, and hurriedly returned to the army to meet Liu Zeqing.

And here, Liu Zeqing retreated while fighting and retreating safely from the embankment, and the former Equation Niandong also stopped the pursuit and withdrew his troops and left. Gao Jie and the three of them joined forces to count the injuries in Sturgeon Town, and there were nearly 1,000 injuries.

A few days ago, I was shouting to beat down the city of Anqing, but now I was beaten up before I touched the city wall, which is really embarrassing!

"Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, what is there to be ashamed of, none of us have ever lost a battle, if you feel ashamed of it, then there is a soldier with a bird" Gao Jie rolled his eyes, began to encourage morale, looked at Er Liu and said: "Don't think so much about what you don't have, I have me on the overseer's side, let's think more about how we can touch the city wall of Anqing."

"Difficult!" Huama Liu sighed: "There are only two roads to Anqing, the mountain road in the west and the quagmire road between the two rivers in front of us, after this battle, the thief army will be tightly sealed, no matter which one we take, it will not be easy."

"I can only fight hard!" Liu Zeqing also sighed: "The mountain road is rugged and difficult, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the thief army only needs to arrange a few troops to make it difficult for us to fly, so we can only take the east embankment, but its narrow and long is not suitable for cavalry combat, and the thief army only needs to block the way by stationing troops in the middle, and there is no other way than hard attack."

Gao Jie thought for a while: "Tell the Overseer first, maybe he has a way, let's take advantage of the moment to repair it, if it weren't for being too tired a few days ago, it might not be so difficult to beat them today!" ”

On the night when Gao Jie and the others were almost made dumplings, in Chaohu Lake on the other side of Wuhu, Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Liang had just assisted the officers and soldiers on the east bank to transport grain, horses and troops and welcomed new guests.

The main army led by Li Yan and Huang Dewei finally arrived, this is a combined army, with cavalry, infantry, the Shenji battalion of the Beijing battalion, and the emperor's personal soldiers.

The one who comes is the guest, Lu Zhenfei and Zhang Liang gritted their teeth to entertain tens of thousands of guests, and had promised Gao Jie and the three of them to guarantee the completion of logistics supply, but it was only nearly 10,000 people, and this time there were tens of thousands, and I heard that there were tens of thousands of people behind (Gao Jie's three rear pawns) The two of them were almost not scared of their legs, and it was not enough for so many people to take out the Luzhou Mansion.

Fortunately, Li Yan is empathetic, and he brings some grain and grass and Nanjing will supply it, and Luzhou Mansion can do its best! Lu Zhang and the others breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and they told Li Yan and others about the situation in the past few days, which caused a burst of exclamations, the little eunuch's production must be a blockbuster film, and it has been driven straight into it in a short period of time, which is too energetic, and it also stimulates everyone's fighting spirit, and they are all gearing up to make contributions.

"The three of Gao Zongbing are all cavalry, not suitable for mountain battles, maybe at this time they have reached the city of Anqing, but they have no baggage and can only besiege the city and not siege the city, and its supply is inconvenient and can't last long, we should rush to" Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly: "The siege of the city is suppressed by artillery, which is the most powerful, but now there is a shortage of artillery, and we have to rely on the Shenji battalion" He turned his head to look at Wu Weiying: "Hou Ye has to take the first step if he is tired!" ”

Wu Weiying arched his hand and said with a slight smile: "How about rushing in two hours" Li Yan nodded, his eyes swept over the commanders of the pro-guard army: "There will be a few lords."

Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shichun, and Liu Wenbing stood up and arched their hands and said to Wu Weiying: "Then I will be a companion with Marquis Wu" Although the three of them have little experience, the eight guards of the emperor's army under their command are all battle-hardened soldiers, and Li Yandian will order them to go first, and he will also give them the opportunity to make contributions.

Huang Degong had a slight objection to Li Yan's arrangement: "All the good things are given to others, why don't we two wander thousands of miles to play?" ”

Li Yan smiled: "Don't be bored, Mr. Huang, if you want to make meritorious contributions, you should be so good at fighting Bai Wang!" Huang Degong rolled his eyes: "Hundreds of thousands of thieves have been beaten into water dogs, what about Bai Wang?" ”

Li Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If Bai Wang is so good at beating Zuo Liangyu, he won't suffer so much, although the white thief is not as strong as the thief, but he has the best time and place and even people, not to mention that this geographical advantage is enough for us to drink a pot, but I can't beat a head into the mountains, you just walked out behind him with your front foot, and it is endless, which is like a face-to-face fight between the two sides in the north, who wins and who loses depends on their ability."

When he said this, Huang Degong nodded slightly, he had fought with Zhang Xianzhong in the area of Qianshan Huoshan for more than a year, and he knew that it was extremely difficult, and many times it was not something you could fight if you wanted to, and the thief army used the guerrilla warfare knife to the extreme, which made the officers and soldiers time-consuming and laborious, and gained little.

"Now the thief army is willing to work hard with us, which is a good thing that we can't ask for, I'm afraid that we will drill the mountains and forests behind" Li Yan sighed: "This kind of battle is like a quagmire, and if you step into it, you will be swallowed up if you are not careful, even the little overseer does not dare to guarantee that he can get out of the whole body."

"Are you saying that this battle is endless, and it can't be resolved as quickly as the north?" Huang Degong's brows furrowed into twists, and Li Yan nodded slightly: "I'm just worried about this."

Li Yan didn't know at this time that Gao Jie and the three of them were frustrated outside Anqing City, and they were beaten by someone before they touched the corner of the wall, otherwise they should raise the whole army to support quickly, so as not to only let the Shenji Battalion and the pro-guard army go first, while he and Tong Huang Degong were still behind slowly.

It's not that he's lazy, although almost all of the cavalry used to send reinforcements to the south this time for the sake of the soldiers, but because of the excessive weight of grain and grass and the fact that the road is really long, and it is raining and scorching heat all the way, the soldiers are in a depression in terms of physical strength and morale, and it is very necessary to repair and adjust the state in a timely manner.
