"Stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood!" Yu Wenshan and his subordinates hurriedly held up the extravagant tiger, pulled the reins, and asked him to mote Huaidong's agitated plan.

Although the pontoon bridge was there, it was extremely unfavorable for the Huaidong soldiers to capture the Yijiang City and establish a position on the other side of the river. They immediately went south, looking for shoals from the upper reaches of the Yiyang River and even along the Qingshan River, which was far more advantageous than forcing the crossing at this time.

The soldiers and horses intercepted by Huaidong entering the west bank of the Yiyang River were about 10,000 people; The main force of Huaidong's back road has to rush over, and it will take two to three days. In two to three days, Huaidong had more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it was not possible to lay a net on the west bank of the Yiyang River.

However, the situation is also very obvious, if there are no soldiers and horses in the direction of Qingyang and Qiupu to respond, and Huaidong occupies the topographical advantage on the west bank of Yiyang, they will think that they will successfully withdraw into Jiuzi Mountain......

"......" Hao Feihu turned his head to look at the exhausted generals behind him who had retreated west with him, his eyes were bloodshot, and he said in a sad voice, "They are all children of Zhejiang and Fujian, I will abandon them, how can I see the fathers and elders of Zhejiang and Fujian?" ”

"There is a small castle in Dongyi, which can be ......guarded temporarily," Luo Wenhu said.

As long as there is an elite force in the direction of Qingyang to help and suppress the Huaidong army in Yijiang City, they can safely cross the Yiyang River and retreat westward.

"......" Hao Feihu shook his head, for the soldiers and horses who had withdrawn west to Qingyang, and then went east, and when they arrived at the mouth of the Yiyang River, it was also the time when the main force of Huaidong's back road came; Even if the Huaidong Water Camp is an anti-epidemic boat, it can reach the mouth of the Yiyang River in two days. Abandoning Jiangning City and not taking it is to avoid a decisive battle with the Huaidong Army, and Zheng Mingjing is also to preserve his strength after half of his troops and horses are broken. At this time, how could it be possible to fight Huaidong with Huaidong under unfavorable conditions for six or seven thousand people here?

Yue Lengqiu led his troops to hold Chizhou and did not come out, but the main force of the Huaidong Army had not yet arrived, and he did not dare to fight hard and defeat both the Zhejiang and Fujian armies. If the main force of the Huaidong Army arrived in time, Yue Lengqiu could create a great deal of Zhejiang and Fujian troops without harming the fundamentals, how could he be merciful to his subordinates?

"You don't need to persuade me, if you don't dare to fight, stay behind and fight for me!" Extravagant Feihu asked Hu Cong to take his battle armor, and on the river embankment, he changed into a dark iron armor in the sunset......

stay in the last battle, that is to say, if you can't rush through in the end, you have to surrender to the Huaidong Army to save your life; Luo Wenhu glanced at Yu Wenshan with a weak heart.

Yu Wenshan was silent, took off the saber from his waist, and said to Hao Wenhu: "Second son, think twice......" Seeing Hao Wenhu talking, he coldly stabbed the knife into Luo Wenhu's body from the side, and the blood splashed all over his face.

Luo Wenhu didn't have time to struggle, and he died of his breath.

Yu Wenshan pulled out his knife, knelt in front of Hao Wenhu, raised the bloody saber above his head, and said, "Please allow Wenshan to open the way for the second son......"

The royal battalion soldiers all gave up, Luo Wenhu died or not, it was not a big trouble, and Yu Feihu didn't care that Yu Wenshan killed the general in front of him, pointed his knife forward, pointed at the generals behind him, and yelled: "Advance and retreat, today is the only way to kill a bloody way!" ”

*****************

Seeing that the Zhejiang-Fujian army really organized soldiers on the other side to prepare for a strong attack, Zhou Pu stretched out his hand and brushed his nose, and said to Zhao Bao in a suppressed voice: "The old guy surnamed Song, you can't mess with it in the future!" Zhao Bao grinned, and then led the cavalry with Zhou Pu to disperse from both flanks, allowing the foot soldiers under the embankment to enter the embankment position......

The Zhejiang-Fujian army left more than 300 defenders in Yijiang City, and when the infantry battalion captured the city, it also had plenty of time to destroy the iron cable pontoon bridge at the southern foot of Zhangzi Ling in the southeast of Yijiang City.

But if the iron rope is really cut, the Flying Tiger will lead the remnants to the south to find a way to cross the river. Zhou Pu's cavalry battalion and Zhang Jiheng's department, less than 10,000 people, could not block the west bank of the Yiyang River, which is more than 200 miles tortuous between Nanling and Yijiang......

Although the Yiyang River is the main river between Jiangning and Chizhou, after winter, the river in some places is less than 100 steps narrow, shallow and does not flood people. The extravagant flying tiger escaped from Jiangning City, and a large number of horses were captured from Jiangning City, and they were very mobile, and it was not difficult to cross the river from the shallow water beach on horseback.

In addition, the hills and hills on the west bank of the Yiyang River are endless, and the nearest distance from the deep mountains and dense forests of Jiuzi Mountain is only sixty or seventy miles. Moreover, the troops are scattered, and they are afraid that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops will have soldiers and horses to kill from the direction of Qingyang and Nanling, which will increase unnecessary risks.

Keep the pontoon bridge and stimulate the extravagant Feihu to lead his troops to cross the Yiyang River estuary, so that he can fight a war of annihilation by virtue of the terrain advantages of the river beach and river embankment!

The cavalry on the embankment spread out to both flanks, and Zhang Jiheng immediately led the soldiers hidden under the embankment to climb the embankment and line up.

The embankment at the lower mouth of the Yiyang River is a stone pond, and it is about four zhang deep from the river embankment to the beach of the dry reeds, and it is also aware that the remnants of the Zhejiang-Fujian army come from the pontoon bridge, and they have to climb the four-zhang high embankment in order to barely gain a firm foothold on the west bank.

The only advantage is that the slope on the outside of the embankment is gentle, far from being comparable to the steep and straight city wall; When building the stone pond, it is a stack of stones, one layer at a time to tighten in the middle, and the inside and outside leave layers of stone steps for climbing - on the stone pond about thirteen or four steps wide, in the front of the two pontoon bridges, the narrow area of two hundred steps wide, can only call the Huaidong Army to deploy a battalion of soldiers, one by one flying contradictory cars to pull up, lined up on the outside of the stone pond, forming a battlement shield wall.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army first came by more than 300 soldiers on the pontoon bridge, and more than 200 cavalry braved the cold and waded directly across the river from the shallow beaches on both sides of the pontoon bridge - the Huaidong army left the pontoon bridge undestroyed, and they were also afraid that the pontoon bridge would do anything. After seeing that there was no problem with the pontoon bridge, more soldiers were sent over and lined up on the river beach......

After winter, the Yiyang River becomes extremely narrow, and the water surface of the mouth of the river is more than 100 zhang, but the river beach is open, and it is almost 500 or 600 steps wide from the stone pond down to the water's edge.

The luxury family built a pontoon bridge here earlier, but also because the water here is shallow and slow, the river beach is solid, easy to gain a foothold, and the surrounding reeds and grass have long been set on fire, leaving a large open river beach at the southern foot of the Zhangzi Mountains, and the river beach that has become charred and blackened by the burning beach is like hell showing a hideous face......

Zhang Jiheng looked at the scorpion crossbows and ballistas that were as dense as poisonous snakes and sharp teeth under the river embankment behind him, and said secretly: If it weren't for these, it would be a bit too big to let the enemy cross the river and gain a firm foothold on the river beach without destroying the pontoon bridge.

Almost 2,000 generals crossed the pontoon bridge, and Hao Feihu ordered Yu Wenshan to take the front in armor and lead the crowd to attack Shitang. Under the cover of the big shield, the generals of the Zhejiang-Fujian army who broke through the attack wore strong armor, and the former even wore an extra layer of leather armor in the iron armor, and the special fire oil made in Huaidong was wrapped in wet robes outside the battle armor.

The arrows shot down by the Huaidong Army's infantry from the stone pond could hardly penetrate the shield armor; The time was short, and there was no way to prepare enough rolling stones and timber on the stone pond; The real lethality is still after the offensive and defensive battles begin, throwing out from behind the embankment, crossing the river embankment, and throwing stone bullets and giant crossbows in the middle of the enemy formation.

The scorpion crossbow fires stone projectiles, all of which are rounded by stones, each weighing 10 to 20 catties, thrown diagonally into the air, and then falls under the acceleration of gravity. No matter how thick the iron armor is, it is difficult to resist this powerful blunt blow, and if you hit it, you can watch the iron armor and a certain part of the body smash down in an instant, and those who can survive the blow are less than one in ten......

The ballista made by Huaidong is similar to the traditional bed crossbow, but the firing mechanism is the same as the scorpion crossbow, which uses the torque of the special crossbow to fire giant arrows, which can easily hit targets 300 steps away. Ballistae are more conducive to being deployed in the rear formation, throwing giant arrows directly into the depths of the enemy formation, and the arrows fired are as huge as spears, which can easily break through thick armor and penetrate the human body under gravitational acceleration.

The scorpion crossbow and bed crossbow, including ballistas, carried by Zhang Jiheng's troops were not dragged across the forced march, and only more than 40 could still be put into use on the battlefield.

However, if the Zhejiang-Fujian army wants to storm the nearly four-zhang high stone pond, it must attack from the back in a dense formation.

The enemy soldiers pressed up layer upon layer, and the Huaidong army soldiers pressed the enemy soldiers under the stone pond, and each round of scorpion crossbow and bed crossbow salvo could make a big gap in the dense enemy formation.

The wails of the Zhejiang and Fujian soldiers who shot through the body of the giant arrow and stuck on the river beach and could not struggle when they were dying were mixed with the river breeze, like a raging fire, burning the hearts of the remnants of the Zhejiang and Fujian army.

The twilight is combined, the cold moon is like a hook, and the stars floating above the night seem to be dyed with blood.

Yu Wenshan's left crotch was discounted by the stone bullet, and when he was brought down, he was already drowning for a breath, and he opened his mouth to say to the extravagant tiger, but what came out was the blood foam - the extravagant flying tiger was red-eyed, leaving the pontoon bridge where he supervised the battle, and walked forward with his armor and halberd, roaring like thunder, like a beast trapped in the flames, and said: "Huaidong Xiaoer, who dares to fight with me?" "But it was a rain of arrows as dense as a swarm of locusts......

Zhang Jiheng saw that the morale of the enemy army had reached the extreme, and it seemed to be extremely strong, but it was actually extremely weak, so he immediately ordered his generals to lead his soldiers to attack the river beach from the flank; Zhao Bao, who had retreated to the west beach of Zhangziling, did not care about the danger of the fall of the river beach, and lost no time in leading dozens of armored horsemen wearing horse armor to kill from the north and rush to kill the northern flank of the Jiangtan position of the Zhejiang-Fujian army.

The flank foot soldiers of the Zhejiang-Fujian army struggled to resist the moment, that is, they did not retreat. The river beach seems to be open, but as the two wings continue to retreat, and the front is always pressed under the stone pond, unable to attack, the center of the formation is gradually crowded and more chaotic.

Under the reflection of the cold moon and the remnants of the fire, the position of the Zhejiang-Fujian army on the west bank of the river beach finally collapsed.

The extravagant flying tiger swung his halberd and pumped indiscriminately, trying to block the retreating rout, but more and more people in front of him repelled it, and even if the soldiers in the heart of the formation knew that behind them were the big swords of the overseer team and the cold river, they could only involuntarily wrap themselves and retreat.

Zhou Pu rode a horse and stood on the riverbank at the edge of the battlefield, staring at the position of the enemy's formation, in the twilight, the burning remnants of the fire were also dim, and he couldn't see the face of the enemy soldier clearly, but the figure of the extravagant flying tiger was not difficult to identify. The Flying Tiger was in the center of the formation, the array had collapsed, and the two pontoon bridges were narrow, even if he still had loyal guards by his side, he could not squeeze from the rout to the back of the formation and escape from the pontoon bridge. Zhou Pu soon saw that there was also a rout and flooding, and only the remnants of the two or three thousand Zhejiang-Fujian troops on the other side of the river were left with no way to escape and no courage to fight......
