(Brothers are very powerful, the posts are all skyscrapers!) ）

Chen Yan led his troops to land, nearly 9,000 elites entered the low hill at the eastern foot of Huating Ridge, except for leaving 2,000 troops to cover the right flank, the rest of the main force launched a fierce offensive on Huating Pass overnight without the slightest reservation.

The sky also helps the Huaidong army, the bright moon is like a sickle, the starlight is like water, according to the sparse shadow of the mountains and forests, you can see three or five miles away, which is extremely conducive to night battles.

The post road passes through the pass, plus the slopes on both sides, about six zhang wide, and is the front passage for attacking the flower pavilion pass. Deng Yu also gathered heavy troops to form a formation in front of the pass, dug shallow trenches, and hastily cut down trees to build some simple horses to resist horses, and the fence wall was crossed in front of the formation as an obstacle, trying to stop the Huaidong army outside the pass.

It's just that the Zhejiang-Fujian army was not much earlier than the Huaidong army, and the wall in front of the formation built in a hurry was really simple.

From the frontal attack of the Huaidong Army, the shield car, the bed crossbow approached, in the formation of more than a dozen scorpion crossbows, three or five pounds of mud pellets and mud bombs weighing a few catties to more than a dozen catties into the leather pocket, constantly thrown into the Zhejiang and Fujian army formation, "whooshing" noise, and the mountain wind and the sharp sound of the bed crossbow fired mixed together, as if the ghosts and gods were hidden in the night sky screaming.

In addition to the offensive from the front of the pass, all the gentle slopes, mountains and forests, and Yuxi Road that could approach the pass became the attack direction of the Huaidong soldiers. The terrain in these directions is rugged and overgrown, and there seems to be no road, and the bed crossbow, scorpion crossbow and other weapons cannot enter, and the soldiers can only wear armor and shields, carry swords, guns, bows and crossbows, climb through the forest, and go around the flank of the enemy to launch an attack.

The two armies fought in the night, and the blood flowed like rain, converging into a stream. Under the swords and guns, the soldiers with severed limbs and arms were moaning and wailing, but more often than not, they were roaring and fighting.

Deng Yu stood on the Yanzui Rock, clenched the handle of the knife, condescendingly watched the defensive formations on the periphery of the pass retreat under the fierce attack of the Huaidong Army, and couldn't help the urge to personally lead the elite to the front to rush to kill.

The front battle has twice called the Huaidong army to disperse and defeat, and he didn't want the entire defensive formation of the pass to collapse, so Deng Yu could only send his cronies and nephews to lead the clan's soldiers to rush to the front to kill, and strive to hold the position and suppress the Huaidong army outside the pass.

If this battle is defeated, the west escape pass will be sealed, and the main force of the eastern front of the Zhejiang and Fujian army will be caught in the urn of the Huaidong army, and thousands of clan children will be buried here.

Ordinary soldiers may not understand these truths, but the sons and nephews of Deng Yu and the generals from the Deng clan can understand that this battle is actually related to the survival of the clan, and the situation is more critical than the situation in the later stage of the war in Eastern Fujian.

The real elite veterans among the soldiers of Fujian have experienced many twists and turns with the eight clans, so they have the fighting spirit to become more and more courageous and forget about life and death.

When the battle array was about to collapse, it was the Deng clan and the Fujian soldiers who rushed forward without fear of death and injury, and defended the formation with swords, shields, guns, spears and lives; It also repeatedly attacked the offensive array of the Huaidong Army, and with hundreds of casualties, it finally destroyed nearly 20 scorpion crossbows and crossbows in the Huaidong Army's array.

Although the fighting in front of each other and in the narrow contact area also caused the Huaidong Army to suffer extremely heavy casualties, the casualties of Deng Yu's subordinates, Deng's children and the elite veterans of Fujian were even heavier. More importantly, the Huaidong Army was highly motivated and was not frustrated by the tragic casualties in the front.

Although his command style is still known for his toughness, he has long been aware of the tactical details such as how to allocate troops, how to adjust, and connect the rhythm of the attack in the rushing formation.

Although nearly three-quarters of Chen Yan's troops were pressed in front of the Huating Pass, the troops on the front were also deployed in three layers.

Even at night, the Huaidong Army can refine the combat units to the sentinel level through the heralds, which makes the fighting in the front uninterrupted, and Chen Yan still has the combat power to easily rotate the front line.

This characteristic, coupled with the outdated command style, made the offensive of the Huaidong Army like a wave, which began at dusk and continued to rise wave after wave until midday, and the offensive never stopped.

The defensive position of the Zhejiang-Fujian army is as solid as an embankment, and under such a high-intensity and continuous impact, it has gradually become unable to hold on. Especially with the continuous expansion of casualties among the children of the Deng clan and the elite veterans of Fujian in the front battle, it was as if the embankment was constantly rushing to the waves, and it did not survive until the early morning, and the defensive positions on the periphery of the pass were finally dragged to a precarious moment.

"Uncle, there is no way to fight this battle again!" A bearded tiger will clamp the blood-dripping scarf to his waist, step up the mountain rock quickly, run down on his knees in front of Deng Yu, hold back the grief in his heart, and cry and cry, "If it's not that the heir sect is not devoted, it's not that the heir sect is greedy for life and afraid of death, if you still fight hard, you don't have to wait for the dawn, and the Deng family will no longer exist!" If the Deng clan is wiped out in this battle, the fourth uncle, the seventh uncle, the third uncle, the fifth uncle, the seventh uncle, the eleventh, and the fourteenth, they will die blindly! ”

"Your fourth uncle, seventh uncle, junior, fifth, seventh, eleventh, and fourteenth were all killed on the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather, do you have the face to come back and mess with our army's heart?" Deng Yu ruthlessly pulled out the horsewhip in his hand, looked at the blood marks on the face of the eldest grandson Sizong, his heart ached, and shouted, "Come on, drag this guts rebel grandson out and cut it down!" Whoever dares to disturb the hearts of our army, whoever dares to retreat without authorization, will not be spared! ”

Deng Yu wanted to behead the eldest grandson to calm the army's heart, and all the generals who had withdrawn from the bloody battle to rest and recuperate, and their clothes and armor were not dried with blood, all stepped forward to dissuade them, and said: "Heizong is by no means a cowardly person, he really sees that the casualties of the generals are so tragic, and he can't bear it. ”

"Back then, I fought against Li Zhuo, how tragic the casualties were, my Deng clan is like a forest, how could there ever be such a spineless person?" Deng Yu scolded.

"There is too much pressure on the periphery, and Tian Mazi is too soft on the left flank to share the pressure for us, why don't you retreat to the pass and take a breath of relief?" The generals asked again.

At this time, whoever goes up must have the consciousness of dying on the battlefield, and the offensive of the Huaidong Army is so fierce that anyone who sees it will be a little chilled.

At the time of rushing to defend the Flower Pavilion, in addition to Deng Yu's troops forming a formation at the pass, about 6,000 soldiers and horses did not have time to shrink over, and they all contracted to form a formation on the slope of the left flank, which actually formed a trend that threatened the right wing of the soldiers and horses landing in Huaidong.

However, as soon as the Huaidong Army landed on the shore, it placed the offensive directly in front of the pass, and only placed a small number of defensive troops on the right flank. However, the left flank of the Zhejiang-Fujian army did not have the determination to attack the right flank of the Huaidong Army, and after nightfall, it was extremely weak, and the generals of Deng Yu's department were angry and helpless until now.

"How do I get back?" Deng Yu asked bitterly.

Deng Yu didn't know the casualties in the front, so he wanted to let go of the blood of the Deng family's disciples, but now the front battle is hanging in one breath, and the Huaidong army still has the strength to spare.

Moreover, the retreat of the generals on the periphery to the pass will only make the pass's defensive position more crowded and denser. There is no city wall to shield and shelter the periphery, and once the Huaidong Army has the opportunity to throw oil canisters on a large scale, their dense and crowded array will be a catastrophe.

In the face of the operational characteristics of the Huaidong Army, no matter how many casualties there were, Deng Yu could only stretch out his defensive formation, instead of squeezing the Huaidong Army to the inner line!

Deng Yu was reluctant to behead the eldest grandson Sizong to settle the army's heart, but he just whipped it over, almost pulling Deng Sizong's armor apart, and scolded: "You rebel grandson, let me go to the front." Either you will push the enemy back, or you will have someone else carry your body back, the Deng clan does not have such a bad seed as you! "Drive the eldest grandson and all the generals down the mountain rock, and tell them to go to the front to fight and hold their positions.

Everyone retreated, only a middle-aged man with a white hairpin stayed by Deng Yu's side, looked at the mouth of the river at the west foot of Yanzui Rock, and said to Deng Yu in a low voice: "The warships of the Huaidong Navy have occupied the mouth of the river, and three or four out of ten of the Deng family have died on the battlefield, and Deng Gong is also worthy of Wenzhuang Gong, there is really no need to cut off the blood of the Deng family!" Although the East China Sea Fox is a generation of heroes, and he does not drag his feet in doing things, he is not a generation of dead people and exterminators, even Wang Xueshan has the whole family, why should Deng Gong be stubborn? ”

"I ......" Deng Yu spit out a word, choked up for a long time and couldn't spit out another word. The middle-aged man looked over and saw Deng Yu's withered old face with tears in the moonlight.

The town was also caught in the flames of war, and Su Pinxiao led 3,000 sailors directly through Yanzui Gorge, went around to the west foot of Huating Creek, entered Huating Creek, and had firmly controlled the ferry.

Deng Yu's face was blown by the wind, and when the tears on his face were dry, he made up his mind and said to the middle-aged man: "Du Gong came by wading through mountains and rivers, and Deng Yu understood it." But the Deng family finally fell too deep, and only hoped that the children of the Deng family would not complain about the old man's stubbornness under Jiuquan. Du Gong should leave first, you are not ordered by Huaidong to come here, and it is always bad for the East China Sea Fox to know. ”

Du Rong smiled bitterly and said: "I am adrift alone, and after saying goodbye in Mingzhou, I have nothing to do with the Du family, but I still miss a few old friends. Thinking that if I don't come out for a walk again, I'm afraid I won't see each other again. ”

"Duke Du, don't go to Jiangzhou to persuade Duke Wenzhuang," Deng Yu said, "Even if it is a dead end, Duke Wenzhuang can only go hard, but it's a pity that no one is as good as Song Fu gave birth to a good daughter!" Speaking of this, he sighed again and again, just urging Du Rong, who had nothing to do with both sides and just sneaked to Shangrao to see his old friend, to leave, and when Du Rong went down from the west foothills, he ordered left and right, "Take the iron knife!" ”

Du Rong was dressed as a Taoist priest, and when he saw that he could not persuade Deng Yu, he could only leave the place of right and wrong in advance. He didn't want to run into Huaidongjun, and when he turned his head and saw Deng Yu wearing armor and holding a knife down the mountain rock, he seemed to be blown by a cold wind in his heart - Deng Yu did not escape or surrender, he put on armor and went into battle, and he had already sprouted the will to live and die. Either the Huaidong army was repulsed, or he died on the battlefield, giving the Deng children a chance to escape or surrender......

Du Rong could already see what the outcome was, so he couldn't delay, drilled into the mountains and forests, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, he listened to the shouts and poured up to the pass, and turned his head to see that it was countless Huaidong soldiers who were rushing to the pass, and the Zhejiang-Fujian army was scattered like dogs, and there was no resistance anymore.

Counting the time, under the impact of the Huaidong Army, occupying the terrain, Deng Yu, the elite, failed to hold it even overnight, and the luxury family should have fallen, and it should not be able to support it anymore!
