It is true that there are some things that Yan Li can't call the shots, not to mention that some things can only be decided after contacting the head of the front line, Gong Lince.

After the news of Gong Lince was returned, Zijin Cave could be regarded as truly accepting Niu Youdao, and Yan Li and other high-level officials who stayed behind immediately secretly placed Niu Youdao, not wanting anyone to know that Niu Youdao was hiding in Zijin Cave, including most of the disciples of Zijin Cave.

Along with the news of Gong Lince, the Yanzhao Armageddon finally began!

The first to attack was the Zhao army, and the Zhao army once again fought hard, doing everything in its power to break through.

However, under the personal deployment of Meng Shanming, the Yan army and the rebels of Zhao joined forces to hold the main roads of the Zhao army's breakthrough in all directions, and suppressed the Zhao army in one area.

When the Zhao army retreated after being defeated and retreating, the Yan army took advantage of the opportunity to concentrate superior forces and turned to pressure the superior forces of the Zhao army to retreat after being assembled.

In the face of the strength that was twice their own, in the face of the fierce offensive, the Zhao army on the north side of the Jiaohu Lake fully retreated from the water, and more than a million people and horses all retreated into the Jiaohu Lake on wooden platoons, which was mighty and magnificent.

The trees that have been cut down all around are the source of this magnificence.

"What can I do, what can I do......

On the dense wooden platoon, the soldiers of the Zhao army waved their weapons and shouted at the large number of Yan troops who occupied the shore of the lake, and it could even be said that they laughed at it.

The general of the Yan army was furious and shouted angrily, "Release the arrow!"

Arrows and even rockets, swishing out from the shore of the lake, arrows raining down into the water, but because the distance was a little far, they couldn't hurt the retreating Zhao army at all.

"What can I do, what can I do......

Seeing that the Yan army's attack was useless and could not threaten itself at all, Zhao Jun's shouting became more and more excited, and he also shouted louder.

"Hey!" The main general who personally shot an arrow was so angry that he threw the bow in his hand, turned back to the monks of the three major factions around him and said loudly: "All mages should immediately organize people to fly up to the lake to chase and kill, and do not allow the Zhao army to run rampant!"

A monk asked rhetorically: "Is the general joking if he only asks us to charge into battle?" How many enemy troops can we kill when we organize ourselves on the dense surface of the lake? The monks in the enemy army are not decorations! We rushed up to face the rain of arrows, and we didn't know how many casualties we would be killed and wounded, and how could the general fight behind us?"

The generals of the Yan army were only angry under indignation, but they watched the enemy flee, and they couldn't find the vehicles to chase the enemy around, so they stomped their feet and beat their chests in anger, and they were full of resentment.

On a large wooden row, Pang Teng in the view was not annoyed by the defeat, but excitedly punched his fist and said: "Okay! Yan Jun has finally taken the bait!"

He commanded the army to break through more than once here, but the Yan army held on to the important place and was repeatedly unable to break through, and every time the Yan army was defeated, the Yan army was not in a hurry to chase them to the death and annihilate them, and had been adopting a siege strategy, as if they were going to trap them to death and drag them to death here, so that his plan had not been able to succeed, and now he finally succeeded under the retribution.

Although he had an insight into Pang Teng's plan in advance, Zuo Chengfeng on the side still asked with a little worry: "Metropolitan Governor, it is Meng Shanming who is fighting against you, Meng Shanming is not a wasted person, can you be sure of this?"

Pang Teng said confidently: "I concentrated a large number of men and horses to launch an attack from the north side of Jiaohu Lake, just to induce the Yan army to gather forces on the north side of Jiaohu Lake to intercept, and now the goal has been achieved. At this time, our army crossing the lake only needs to penetrate directly into the nearest position on the south bank, and then it can join up with the defenders on the south bank and concentrate absolutely superior forces to break through in one fell swoop. Unless all the Yan soldiers and horses concentrated here have their wings, it is impossible for a large number of foot soldiers to rely on two legs to go around the lake to the south bank in time to support. ”

"As long as we succeed in breaking through the encirclement and tearing through the other party's encirclement, we will be able to get supplies, and we will have the capital to continue to deal with the Yan army and the rebels. ”

Zuo Chengfeng sighed: "I hope the plan of the Grand Governor can go well." ”

Hearing this, he was full of worry, and Pang Teng didn't say much about him, so he quickly turned around and ordered: "Contact the defenders on the south bank to prepare for the response, and order the army to speed up and row!"

Zhao Jun's movement came, and in the Yan army camp, Shang Chaozong, who received the information, smashed his fist on the case and shouted, "Okay! As Meng Shuai expected, he really wanted to join up with the defenders in the south and break through!"

Meng Shan shook his head: "Everything that should be explained is clear, and the water outlet at the end of the corner lake is not a key defensive area for the Zhao army, and there should be no problem with sending capable generals to assist the two of them." Lord Wang, without further ado, you can give the order to attack!"

It is impossible for him to keep Luo Da'an by his side for the rest of his life to push him in a wheelchair, young people have their own future.

Luo Da'an is his apprentice, and he fought with him halfway when he fought on the Song side, and now he is also half his apprentice.

With a master like Meng Shanming, as long as Meng Shanming is willing to help, the two will naturally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and now the crucial battle has given the two of them.

can't always talk on paper, from this point on, the two will be pushed to the battlefield by Meng Shanming for formal training.

Shang Chaozong immediately shouted to the herald: "Order the men and horses at the tail of Jiaohu Lake, attack immediately, there must be no mistakes, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"

"Yes!" the herald commanded......

As soon as the order to attack was in place, Luo Da'an and Lu Zheng, who had already been prepared, led their troops to attack on both sides of the Jiaohu outlet, one left and one right.

For Zhao Jun, the Jiaohu outlet is not an important place, it is located in the downstream of the lake, there are many ravines and canals, it is not suitable for fighting, and it is not suitable for a large number of people and horses to garrison, and it is a place of little value. But for the Yan army, the battle of the water outlet was related to the success of the entire battle situation, and a large number of monks had already been dispatched to secretly arrive.

Shang Chaozong even ordered the three major factions to dispatch three large bird mounts, and dispatched three Taishang elders, with only one purpose, not to allow the defenders of the outlet to run away with a golden wing. In the final analysis, it is to delay Zhao Jun from learning the news of the loss of the water outlet.

Together with the offensive, under the strong attack of superior forces, it did not take long to successfully conquer the water outlet.

As soon as they seized the right to occupy, Luo Da'an and Lu Zheng immediately ordered a large number of monks to quickly tear open and widen the outlet of Jiaohu, which was their only task at this time.

Widening, widening, widening, tearing, tearing and tearing the water outlet as much as possible, after the occupation, he has been busy with this thing, and he must not stop without a military order.

When the task was arranged, the heads of the three major factions who learned of the battle plan also understood the seriousness of this battle, which was related to the success or failure of the entire battle, and also gave a death order to the disciples below.

A group of monks were busy vigorously, and the movement was really not small, digging along more than a dozen large and small tributaries along the lakeside at the same time, and nearly 100,000 horses and horses participated together......

"Strange, how did the lake flow?"

The soldiers of Zhao Jun paddling a wooden row in the lake all noticed the abnormality, and felt that the sparkling lake was no longer gentle.

Pang Teng was also strange, and noticed that the water of the lake seemed to be flowing faster and faster, and he didn't know what was going on.

The problem was that the speed of the water was faster, and the entire direction of the army's row was pushed crookedly, and it was supposed to cross in a straight line and go straight to the destination, but it turned out to be diagonally upstream.

As a result, the difficulty of paddling against the current has increased a lot, and the paddling time has inevitably increased greatly.

With such a large lake, the water situation has changed, and people who have not lived here for a long time do not know if it is a normal phenomenon.

Pang Teng could only urge the army to work harder.

Not long after, a golden winged flew in, and the general who received the information quickly reported: "Governor, the defenders on the south bank have sent news that they have found that the water level of the lake along the coast is rapidly declining, and they hope that we will arrive quickly, otherwise it may cause difficulties for our army to land." ”

How could the water level in such a large area of the lake drop rapidly? Pang Teng was shocked, looked down at the lake that had turned into a rapid, suddenly didn't know what he thought of, his face changed greatly, and he suddenly turned back to the heads of the three major factions around him and said: "Quick, immediately send someone to check the location of the lower reaches of Jiaohu Lake!"

Miman frowned and said, "What to check?"

"Go!" Pang Teng almost roared at him.

The heads of the three major factions realized that something might be wrong, and even if they were dissatisfied with his roar, they didn't say anything at this time, and immediately ordered the people who controlled the birds in the air defense to rush to check.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, another golden-winged message came, which was the news from the defenders near the Jiaohu outlet, saying that the Jiaohu outlet had been attacked by the Yan army, and now a large number of Yan troops were digging drainage channels on a large scale.

The news of the Yan army's sneak attack on the outlet of Jiaohu Lake can be concealed for a while, but it can't be concealed for a long time, the adjacent defenders are not dead people, and they have a defense coordination connection with each other.

Afraid of something, Pang Teng, who was afraid of what was coming, was shocked, waved his finger to the opposite shore in front of him, and roared, "Quick! Row! Row!"

Zuo Chengfeng asked: "Metropolitan Governor, what is the purpose of Yan Jun's move?"

Pang Teng's lips tightened, he didn't say a word, and his eyes were fixed straight ahead.

He didn't want to answer, for fear that speaking out would shake the morale of the army, and at the same time he had a glimmer of hope, hoping that it was still too late, hoping that the worst result would not occur.

After repeatedly asking questions, the three heads frowned.

Not long after, another huge piece of bad news came, the Yan army launched a full-scale attack on the defenders of the defense line on the south bank!

In the face of such a major military situation, Pang Tengtie blushed and still didn't speak.

The three leaders were in a hurry, and Jiang Wanlou said sharply: "Governor, why delay? If you don't let the defenders withdraw into the lake immediately, as long as we concentrate our superior forces, we can immediately rush to other defense lines around our army to land and break through!"

Pang Teng's face was miserable, and he muttered, "I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Jiang Wanlou was furious, "Isn't this the situation you expected to see?

He hadn't seen the defenders on the south bank with his own eyes, but Pontten had guessed.

Everything is carefully designed, Yan Jun will not take the liberty of making a move, he will do it at the right time.

In the face of the frontal impact of the Yan army, the defenders on the south bank wanted to withdraw into the lake as planned, but there was no way to withdraw, the water level dropped rapidly, and the rafts drifting on the lakeside were now all stranded in the silt.

Most of the defenders on the south bank were fighting the Yan army head-on, and some of them jumped into the tidal flats in the rear, one foot deep and one foot shallow, trying to drag the wooden rafts trapped in the mud into the water of the lake.
