Han Li led his troops east into Qimen, and the road was unbearable, and he walked for more than three days on the mountain roads of more than 100 miles of river valleys, and his patience was lost.

Entering the source of the Chang River, Han Li saw that the advance army of Ganzhou had divided its troops to defend Ma'anling outside the city, so he ordered all his troops to enter the foot of the ridge and set out to attack Ma'anling first.

Tian Weiye will be the captain of Fuliang for a year, and he is much more familiar with the situation of the surrounding counties than others; Han Li led his troops westward, and it was already difficult to find a trusted guide from the local area, so Su Tingzhan ordered Tian Weiye to lead the remnants of his troops to accompany him and serve as a staff officer for Han Li.

Han Li wanted to rush to attack Ma'anling, but Tian Weiye dissuaded: "The enemy divided his troops to defend Ma'anling, which may be to lure our army to attack; At this time, our army's foothold is not stable, if we attack Ma'anling, and ambush the enemy from behind, what should we do? ”

"Do you think that the enemy will not be able to see such a clumsy plan?" Han Li glanced at Tian Weiye with contempt, knowing that he had lost his heart in the battle of Chengziling, and said, "Ma'anling can't be defeated, so how can we stand firmly?" Han Mou wanted to fight Ma'anling, so that the enemy army would come out of the mountain, and he happened to fight at the foot of the ridge! ”

Maanling protects Qimen City in the east, and condescends to the source of the Changshui River.

Han Li led his troops eastward and approached Qimen City, wanting to cut off the communication between Qimen City and the periphery, so he wanted to camp in Ma'anling. In this way, Han Li and his troops could rely on the mountains and rivers, and Su Tingzhan could also transport supplies through the waterway.

Now that the Ganzhou advance army is divided to defend Maanling, Han Li's previous plan will not work, if it is camped elsewhere, it will be difficult to achieve the goal of completely blockading Qimen City, and it will be threatened by Shangyuan by transporting supplies from Fuliang by boat—Su Tingzhan has long guessed that Huaidong must have hidden an ambush between the mountains, and now that the Ganzhou advance army is divided to guard Maanling, and Qimen City is a horn, how could Han Li not guess the intention behind such a division of troops?

Han Li didn't think how strong Huaidong's soldiers and horses were when they infiltrated Gandong, otherwise how could they not attack Fuliang and disrupt the situation in Gandong all at once? The current situation, whether true or false, no matter whether the soldiers and horses infiltrated by Huaidong are strong or weak, Maanling must be defeated, otherwise it is better to retract back into the floating beam, and ask the soldiers and horses infiltrated by Huaidong to make a mess in Gandong.

Han Li did not listen to Tian Weiye's advice, and only urged him to lead his troops to the surrounding villages to forcibly recruit people to come over to assist in attacking the ridge, and he ordered his headquarters to form a chain of camps in three places around a slope post at the foot of the ridge, preparing to divide his troops to attack Ma'anling.

Tian Weiye knew that his words had no weight in front of Han Li, but when he thought about it: the elite of Han Li's headquarters plus the miscellaneous soldiers he led added up to a total of 3,000 soldiers and horses. As long as there are three points of spare strength and no all-out effort is spared to storm Maanling, even if there are still one or two thousand soldiers and horses sneaking in from Huaidong, there are still one or two thousand people hiding in the shadows, there is actually not much threat, and there is no need to worry too much.

It's really not good, you can form a formation and hold on, and wait for Su Tingzhan to lead his troops to come to the aid from Fuliang.

In the three days after leaving Fuliang, the soldiers and horses scattered between the mountains and mountains of the advance army in eastern Gandong were constantly harassed, and Tian Weiye also felt a headache.

Thinking about it, Tian Weiye had no fear in his heart, that is, he led his troops to search for the mountain people to come over and attack the ridge, so as to reduce the consumption of his own soldiers and horses when attacking Ma'anling.

Hu Qiaozhong naturally did not allow Han Li to calmly camp at the foot of the slope, he was in the camp at the head of the ridge, but asked Wu Jingze's generals to divide up and attack in turn, so as to disrupt his formation and exhaust his soldiers.

Two or three groups of soldiers went down the mountain and ravine, borrowing rocks and trees to force the enemy's formation, or shooting with bows and arrows, or holding knives and guns, attacking the enemy's defensive positions on the periphery, killing a group among the ravines and ravines of Ma'anling, and preventing the enemy from building a camp at the foot of the ridge.

It's just that it was blocked by Yishan, and the main emergency transportation from the Yidong area in the early stage was the urgent shortage of light and small ordnance such as knives and bows, armor, and light and extremely important wound medicines, and other materials such as bed crossbows, scorpion crossbows, and shield carts, and other large and medium-sized weapons that had not yet had time to be transported in for the time being.

In the disturbance war around the foot of Maanling and interfering with the camp of the Zhejiang-Fujian army, the two armies faced each other directly, and there was not much depth of roundabout guerrilla attacks, and there was not much advantage in occupying the terrain. Once the Gandong advance army could not take advantage of the combat weapons, and even weaker than Han Li's elite in terms of armor, it would be much more difficult to fight.

Most of the backbone of the Gandong advance army were Huaidong veterans, but the ordinary sergeants were all brave recruits from Gandong, and in terms of combat power, they were even weaker than the Fujian soldiers of Han Li's headquarters who had been bloody for many years.

Even if Yu Wencheng sent troops to attack and cooperate in Qimen City, Hu Qiaozhong's side also fought very hard, and suffered heavy casualties, and by the 12th, he had to call the soldiers and horses to completely retreat to the simple base at the head of the ridge, and hold the stronghold, so that Han Li could calmly divide his troops and take turns to attack the head of the ridge.

The two sides fought for the foot of the ridge, and the casualties were more than 100, whether they could fight, or how much combat power they had, it was difficult to cheat - Han Li quickly figured out the details of the defenders at the head of the ridge.

As guessed, Huaidong sent a small number of elites to infiltrate in, and then lured some fools and reckless men from Fuliang and other places into the camp, and hastily formed the Ganzhou advance army.

Although Huaidong sent a small number of elites to form the military attache skeleton of the Ganzhou Advance Army, which already has the foundation of elite soldiers, it has not been trained and run-in, and there is still a big gap between it and the real Huaidong elite soldiers.

Han Li is the kind of general who becomes more and more courageous, even if he has suffered from the Huaidong soldiers in Liyang and on the east bank of Gucheng Lake, he has no fear in his heart, not to mention that the defenders at the head of the ridge are still a lot of distance from the real Huaidong soldiers, how can he not dare to attack?

Han Li divided the elite of the headquarters into three teams, two teams sat at the foot of the ridge, in order to prepare ambush soldiers to kill from the flank, and one team wrapped in miscellaneous soldiers and civilians took turns to attack the head of the ridge - the Zhejiang-Fujian army itself was killed from the lofty mountains and mountains between Zhejiang and Fujian, and was very skilled in mountain tactics, and kneaded the tactics of stealing from the Huaidong Army over the years, and nailed wooden plates to a large number of forcibly requisitioned wheelbarrows from the countryside, acting as simple shield vehicles, and marched along the rainwater ditch to the camp at the head of the ridge.

Ma'anling is a stone ridge, the higher it goes, the more stones and the thinner the soil layer, only some shrubs and weeds grow on the ridge, the logging fence is the camp, the fence wall is not deep, the camp construction is quite simple, even the moat in front of the fortress is only shallow one, and the digging can not be a zhang deep.

The Zhejiang-Fujian army forced the people to carry the soil to the ridge with cloth bags and threw them into the trenches; Or the miscellaneous soldiers and civilians shot them with bows in the fortress, and even the corpses were bulldozed into the trenches, and it took only one day to fill in the trenches with four or five passages that could directly hit the fence wall.

The conditions were better than those of the Huaidong advance army, and Han Li even brought three stone-throwing crossbows with the army from Fuliang City, erected them on the ridge head, and stormed the fence wall, and the defenders of the ridge filled in more than 30 lives before they destroyed the three stone-throwing crossbows in a counterattack.

Hu Qiao guarded Maanling, and he was under great pressure at the beginning and played very hard......

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

Lin Jian went south to supervise the war, Gao Zongting accompanied the staff and military, and the information in the eastern Gan region was diverted through the Yijiang River and sent to Luzhou and Quzhou at the same time.

Lin was in Quzhou, and it was not until March 14 that he learned that Hu Qiao and the others had decided to engage in a battle with Han Li's troops who had entered Qimen on the outskirts of Qimen.

In the command hall of Fenglinbu, Lin Jian received the information handed over by Gao Zongting, frowned slightly after reading it, and said: "The Military Intelligence Department asked the Gandong side to 'insist on attacking and harassing in the early stage and avoid premature battles', but this strategy has not been well implemented - the first battle of Chengziling is unprepared, and the first battle of Qimen is unpredictable!" ”

Gao Zongting heard that Lin Lian was dissatisfied with Hu Qiaozhong, the Yu brothers and other generals who did not implement the intentions of the Military Intelligence Department after they went to Jiangdong, and said: "When the Military Intelligence Department was preparing for a long time, he invited Uncle Pan Wen to go north to convene the old department, and more than 4,000 soldiers and horses gathered secretly in Jiangdong, and a large number of people followed; And Han Li led his troops east into Qimen, but there were only 3,000 people, and the situation in eastern Gan was favorable to our department, and it was difficult for Hu, Yu and others to be patient! ”

Zhou Pu's thoughts were simpler, and he said: "The backbone of the soldiers and horses in Gandong are all veterans sent by Huaidong, and then they are incorporated into the mountain people and hunters, and they are almost run-in. If you see blood, you can fight stronger and stronger, isn't this how the Jiangdong Left Army fought in the early years? I think it's better to fight late than early, and only when the Gandong side really fights can we relieve some pressure on this side. ”

Fu Qinghe understood Lin Lian's thoughts best, and said: "I don't know what Uncle Pan Wen is. As the youngest son of Pan Qifeng, he protected his subordinates and avoided them in the mountains and forests, but he was also a responsible person who could insist on standing up and calling the old ministry to resist the tyranny of the extravagant family; Qiao Zhong and the Yu brothers will not be weaker than Uncle Pan Wen - even if it is difficult to fight in the early stage, there will be no big problems. ”

After Fu Qinghe's words, Gao Zongting understood that Lin Jian was still worried that Hu Qiaozhong and the Yu brothers would suffer losses in Jiangzhou, which would be a great loss for Huaidong, and said: "Guanxiling's side is also ready, and the Changshan army can officially press up and attack." As long as this side moves, Su Tingzhan can't calmly calculate the soldiers and horses of Gandong in Fuliang......"

"Guanxi Ridge has been preparing for a long time, and the main force of the Changshan Army has also entered the attack camp, just waiting to advance to Shanxi and Hengshan fortresses, I think it is better to choose the day than to hit the sun, watch the sky, it will continue to be sunny in the next few days, just set to enter the army to seal the river today!"

A lot of things affect the whole body.

Hu Qiaozhong and they have to face Su Tingzhan's cunning opponent in Gandong, although Han Li is brave, it can't be regarded as a big trouble - as long as the war on Shangrao's side enters the white heat, even if Su Tingzhan is patient in Gandong, the situation will not leave him too much time to calmly lay out.

Lin Jian nodded and said, "Let's go to the front camp and send someone to call Ao Canghai, Zhou Tong, and Tang Fuguan ......to go over as well."

First, a few horsemen galloped out to pass on the generals, and Lin Tie them rushed to the Guanxiling camp later.

Guanxi Ridge in the west of Jiangshan County was still a barren ridge a year ago, except for the three beacon piers built by the luxury family on the ridge ridge and several empty villages at the foot of the ridge, there are no more traces of people in the ridge, but at this time the Guanxi Ridge has become the main camp of the Huaidong Army to the front of Shangrao.

Coming out of Fenglinbu, entering the mountain is a rammed earth avenue for eight horses to drive together, which extends directly to the foot of the eastern slope of Guanxi Ridge. From the foot of the slope to the ridge gap, almost the whole person was set up as a garrison, and a winding mountain road was dug against the steep slope.

Although it is several times longer than the previous steep Yuxi Road, the Panshan Road can be directly used for load-bearing carriages to transport materials to the ridge, so that Guanxi Ridge no longer becomes a natural barrier between Jiangshan County and Hengshan County, so that the Huaidong Army's troops directly extend to the territory of Hengshan County, less than 20 miles away from Shangrao, and it is nearly 100 miles shorter than attacking from the jaw pass road of Changshan - in the past three months, it is worth investing huge manpower and material resources in Guanxi Ridge, otherwise it is worth it, otherwise it will be necessary to jaw pass road outside Changshan County. Fight step by step, and the luxury flying bear is in the inner side of the pass, step by step, and the passage of hundreds of miles is not necessarily easy.

In this way, it can also make the jaws and Litang fortress groups built by the luxury family in the center of Changshan City lose their effect.
