The news of Luo Wenhu's defeat and Huangtianzhai's gain and loss was transmitted back to Yuling Pass by the rout. When Xie Chaozhong learned about this, he was still planning to transfer the 20,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial camp army to the south, where did he expect that there would be such a sudden change? At the moment, it was like being struck by lightning, and I was stunned for a long time without relieving myself.

The generals and officials in Yuling Guancheng were also in a mess, some proposed to send troops to recapture Huangtian Village, some proposed to send envoys back to Jiangning for rescue, and some proposed to send people over the mountains and mountains to Yuyan to contact Deng Yu.

"I think it's better to send someone to Huangtianzhai to find out the situation before making a decision?" Liu Zhi said.

Compared with many generals of the Imperial Camp Army, Liu Zhi has been supervising the battle with Hao Zongcheng in the Jizhen Army for many years, and has served as the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong Left Army. Everyone was in a mess, but he was calmer, knowing that any decision he made could be wrong before he figured out the situation.

Xie Chaozhong was born in the martial arts, and served in Beijing for a long time, if he said that he had meritorious service, he was also Chongguan for eight or nine years, Yan Hu broke through the border and accumulated some military merits, and when it came to the means of knowledge and management of the army, he was really not much better than Liu Zhi, a layman.

Liu Zhi thought that he was in charge of the army, under Xie Chaozhong, and only under Xie Chaozhong, he said this, Xie Chaozhong calmed down a little, suppressed his panicked thoughts, and said calmly: "The rebels who fled back will be detained and examined one by one; Huangtianzhai there, and then send scouts to explore horses; What is the situation on the other side of Feihuangyu and Yushiyan, we must also send someone to find out...... Panicked, what kind of system? ”

The coach calmed down, and the generals below also had their own minds.

Xie Chaozhong gave such an order, and someone immediately stood up and acted according to the order, but some generals asked hesitantly: "Do you send someone to Jiangning to inform me, if you need help, you also want Jiangning to make preparations in advance?" ”

Xie Chaozhong's face sank, but he hesitated, Deng Yu led the Huinan Army to win three battles and three victories, and Huangtianzhai was lost in the hands of the imperial camp army in a blink of an eye, if this news was transmitted back to Jiangning, wouldn't it let Chen Xiyan and others find a handle to attack him and the imperial camp army?

"Let's find out first, at this time, send someone to Jiangning to report the news, I was shocked, Jiang Ning can know what happened here?" Xie Chaozhong said unhappily in his heart, and all the generals also said yes.

Although Liu Zhi was also frightened in his heart, he knew that there was something to deceive first, even if he had to report to Jiang Ning, he had to wait for Huangtianzhai to be taken back, so that the merits could be offset, so that Jiang Ning had nothing to say, otherwise he would not have any credit, and he would have to be beaten by Jiang Ning first.

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

Huangtianzhai is also close to Yuling Pass, more than 30 miles of mountain road, before dark, the situation of Huangtianzhai is generally clear, and the people sent by Deng Yu also entered Yuling Pass.

The remnants of the enemy in Zhejiang and Fujian hid in the deep valley, took advantage of the heavy rain to attack, defeated the imperial camp army led by Luo Wenhu to clear the past, and took advantage of the chaos to seize Huangtian Village, which was only more than 1,000 people at that time. Later, more than 1,000 remnants of the enemy entered Huangtian Village, and the enemy army occupying Huangtian Village at this time was about 2,000 and a little more than a little.

Deng Yu's army and Luo Wenhu's remnants of 4,000 imperial battalions were safe and sound in the lower valley of Daqing River, although Luo Wenhu's defeat was too ugly, but the situation was not terrible - as long as the more than 2,000 remnants of the enemy guarding Huangtianzhai were annihilated, things would get everything back on track.

Xie Chaozhong immediately decided to transfer half of his troops and horses from Yuling Pass, and attacked the Huinan army back and forth, recaptured Huangtian Village, and ordered to block the news so that Jiang Ning would not know about it.

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

On the night of the 16th, it rained again, the rain was not heavy, in Tongziwu, the armor worn by Hao Wenzhuang had already been soaked by the rain, he rode on a blue and black horse, stood on the high platform, and several wind lamps suffered together, illuminated his thin face and the blue and black handsome flag behind him, so that the nearly 10,000 generals in the audience could see it clearly.

Luxury Wenzhuang stared at the soldiers who were silent like a mountain in the night, and said loudly: "In the past few years, Zhejiang-Fujian athletes have sacrificed a lot, and thousands of bones are under the Guancheng, but they have not been able to capture Yuling Pass, Chengsi is in pain!" In the past two months, I have been in western Zhejiang, and I did not let you know that I wanted to hide from the enemy army, and I wanted to lure the enemy out of Yuling Pass and close the door and beat the dogs. I stand up now and want to tell you that in the past few years, the Huinan army that has prevented my Zhejiang-Fujian athletes from crossing Huaiyu Mountain has all been lured into the Daqingxi River Valley, and behind its belly, I, the Zhejiang-Fujian Yong general, Zheng Mingjing, personally led 2,000 dead soldiers to block the mouth of the Huinan army to flee back to Huizhou. ”

“…… In the past few months, seeing that the South Vietnamese continued to increase troops in Huizhou, everyone was very worried, let me tell you, just last night, the 3,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial camp army gave me 400 soldiers in Zhejiang and Fujian to fight a falling flower, a group of pure pigs, horses, sheep and horses, a mess, vulnerable to a blow, are you still afraid that there are more enemy soldiers on the road ahead than us? The voice of Haowenzhuang reverberated in the school field, and the morale of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in the past few months was aroused.

Although Luxury, Wenzhuang has rarely directly led the troops in recent years, and is interested in cultivating successors such as Luxury Bear and Luxury Tiger, but he is still a dazzling legend in the minds of the generals of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army, and his appearance directly stimulates morale.

Deng Yu could not calmly transfer troops and horses back to fight Huangtianzhai, and Haowenzhuang could not wait for the soldiers and horses behind to be transferred, so he decided to personally lead the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered in Tongziwu to attack Yuyan first, and contain the main force of the Huinan Army in the lower reaches of Daqingxi, so as to relieve the pressure on Zheng Mingjing in Huangtianzhai.

More than 10,000 generals raised their arms and shouted, shouting like an angry sea wave, covering the river waves that were crashing on the shore.

Tian Chang was also in a good mood, at this moment, he could finally see the possibilities of annihilating the southern Huinan army, capturing Huizhou, and threatening Jiangning...... Whether this battle is fought well or not will be directly related to whether the Zhejiang-Fujian army can turn over in a war.

Over the years, Huaidong has been suppressed everywhere and beaten aggrieved, even if the extravagant flying bear led his troops into Jiangxi after the year, and the fight was quite smooth, it failed to alleviate the fundamental crisis on the eastern front.

If Jiangning can be defeated and Jiangzhou can be successfully taken, Jiangxi, western Fujian, western Zhejiang, Jiangning, and Huizhou will be connected, even in the face of Huaidong, they will occupy an absolute advantage in the terrain - how can Tian Chang not be excited?

In the continuous autumn rain, more than 10,000 generals put away their shouts, and were as silent as rocks on the riverside, and walked out of Tongziwu in columns and headed for Yuyan. At the same time, the fast cavalry carried the letter of order prepared by Hao Wenzhuang himself and galloped quickly to all sides to dispatch troops in the night.

Chun'an is adjacent to Tonglu in the east, and in order to block the westward advance of the Hanghu army along the Qianhe River, Chun'an must deploy a certain number of soldiers and horses in case of emergency.

Tonglu can't not be defended, not only the Hanghu army can pour in, but also the soldiers and horses of Huaidong in Shengzhou and Xiaoshan can also pour in quickly. In eastern Zhejiang, Huaidong can gather up to 30,000 elites, and the killing of Luwenzhuang can't let Huaidong's 30,000 elites enter western Zhejiang from Tonglu to stir up the situation.

Tonglu must be strictly guarded, even if Tonglu is unfortunately lost, Chun'an is the last line of defense, from Chun'an to Tongziwu, it does not take a day's journey.

Wuyuan's troops have all been transferred to Haowenzhuang, but more than 12,000 troops have been gathered in Tongziwu. Although they are all elite, such troops are still seriously insufficient.

At present, the fastest is to transfer troops from Quzhou and Dongyang County, Dongyang County's soldiers and horses are going down the Lanxi River, and they can quickly enter the south of Chun'an, but Dongyang County must also send troops to defend it, and the Huaidong Army cannot be followed closely along the Lanxi River.

Even if Haowenzhuang has the intention to treat Dongyang County as an outcast, it will be after capturing Yuling Pass and completely opening the gap in Huizhou, so that it will be possible to grab a faster speed than the Huaidong Army.

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

Deng Yue only learned before noon on the 17th that the soldiers and horses of the Zhejiang and Fujian army in western Zhejiang were personally in charge of Haowenzhuang, and he subconsciously gasped, from the tail bone to the top of his head, and then he completely realized that this was a temptation laid by Luxury.

At this time, Haowenzhuang personally led more than 10,000 elite soldiers of the Zhejiang and Fujian army to Yuyan Village, in terms of troops, the strength of the Huinan Army in Yuyan was slightly superior, but the morale rose and fell, and the loss of Huangtianzhai had a very heavy blow to the Huinan Army, and the advantage in strength became very unreliable.

The choice in front of Deng Yu suddenly became cruel and difficult to choose:

Concentrate the forces in Yuyan, meet the Zhejiang-Fujian army in the lower valley of Daqingxi, and put all the victories and defeats on top of the first battle, or call the fierce defense of Yuyan without fighting, and then transfer the elite troops to fight over, and strive to recapture Huangtianzhai ten days ago - both of these options have advantages and disadvantages, making it difficult for Deng Yue to choose.

"The morale of the army is unstable, and the decisive battle between Yuyan and Zhejiang and Fujian is very unfavorable." Xing Changhe said that he advocated retaking Huangtianzhai first.

"General urge can hold Yuyan at this time, but the soldiers and horses of the Zhejiang-Fujian army in Zhejiang, it only takes three or five days at the earliest to cross the Qianjiang River to the north, and the enemy troops pressed north of Yuyan will gather more and more, if it drags on for five days, we will not be able to successfully recapture Huangtianzhai, and we will also lose the opportunity to fight with the Zhejiang-Fujian army in the lower reaches of the Daqingxi River Valley!" Another veteran general, Song Qiushu, advocated a desperate gamble and a battle against the water, as long as the more than 10,000 Zhejiang and Fujian troops assembled in front of Yuyan were defeated and defeated, the enemy army that attacked Huangtianzhai was the problem of scabies, which was not enough.

"Huangtianzhai was lost by the imperial camp army, and it is also the responsibility of the imperial camp army to recapture it, Xie Chaozhong still has 30,000 soldiers and horses in Yuling Pass, how can it be useful?"

The choice in front of Deng Yu was too difficult: could he trust the imperial camp led by Xie Chaozhong and Luo Wenhu? Even if the troops are gathered in Yuyan and the Zhejiang-Fujian army will be battled, unless the Zhejiang-Fujian army is completely defeated, if the Zhejiang-Fujian army is allowed to retreat to Tongziwu, it will still be a situation of advance and retreat in the end!

Haowenzhuang personally led his troops to press up, not with the intention of a hasty decisive battle, but with the main intention of containing the main force of the Huinan Army in Yuyan, as long as it dragged on for three or five days, until the Zhejiang-Fujian Army had an absolute advantage in the lower valley of Daqingxi, it would be the most fierce and unforgiving blow.

And the actual situation did not allow Deng Yu to make a choice, Xie Chaozhong sent troops to capture Huangtian Village, 3,000 soldiers and horses went first, and when they approached Huangtian Village, they gave the defenders of Huangtian Village a big defeat.
