Meng Shanming didn't stay in this tent for a long time, and after asking the 50,000 soldiers for an explanation in front of everyone, he let Luo Da'an push the wheelchair and leave, without any reaction to the crying behind him.

It's not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that he has long been accustomed to similar things in his life, and many things are put in his heart, and he no longer likes to be colorful.

He could understand why Sun Gaotian was crying.

The only place that can make a group of murderous men cry bitterly is the battlefield.

When he arrived at Zhang Hu's Chinese army tent, the wheelchair habitually arrived in front of the hanging map, Meng Shanming stared at the map and asked, "How are the preparations in Jiangxia County?"

Zhang Hu said: "The centaurs have already set off, diving day and night...", halfway through the words, his eyes glanced at the hand that Meng Shanming covered his mouth and let go when he coughed, and he was suddenly shocked, and he saw a touch of red in Meng Shanming's palm, coughing up blood!

Zhang Hu was suddenly shocked and rushed over, "Dashuai, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Shanming wanted to hide it, but who knew that it was still discovered, Gong Lince and the others stepped forward to take a look, and they were also surprised.

The war has reached this point, this old guy can't have an accident!

Gong Lince was a little panicked, and personally took action to investigate Meng Shanming's condition.

Meng Shan sighed: "It's nothing. ”

How can it be okay, at his age, he has hardly closed his eyes these days, and he has really worked hard to arrange this war, and his body is about to collapse.

After checking it, Gong Lince quickly took out the elixir and forced him to take it, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Shuai, you are too tired, you can't stay up anymore, you must rest." He waved his hand and beckoned someone to come, forcing Meng Shanming to rest.

Meng Shanming waved his hand, signaled to wait, and before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Zhang Hu: "Only defeat, not victory!"

Zhang Hu looked worried, nodded again and again, and said, "Understood, Dashuai, go and rest, I will arrange it here." ”

Meng Shanming held one of his hands and patted it, "In order not to shake the heart of the army, don't spread it!"

Zhang Hu nodded, understanding that he was referring to his coughing up blood.

Meng Shanming was then sent to another tent, and Gong Lince sent a powerful disciple to cast spells for Meng Shanming to regulate his breath, and even ordered Meng Shanming's acupuncture points, forcibly letting Meng Shanming quickly enter a state of rest.

After getting out of the tent where Meng Shanming was resting, Zhang Hu asked Gong Lince, "Palace master, is the handsome man okay?"

"It's not a big deal, I'm old, I'm too tired, I'm overtired, it's my negligence. Don't worry, with our help in conditioning, and after a good rest, it should be fine. Gong Lince sighed, turned around and asked: "Song Guojiang's defense is coming here, and it won't be lost if it is handed over to you to command here, right?"

Zhang Hu: "There will definitely be a loss!"

Gong Lince turned his head suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and said coldly: "Are you joking with this palace?"

Zhang Hu: "No kidding, you also heard what the big man said just now, only defeat, not victory!"

Gong Lince was stunned for a moment, and pondered for a while, Meng Shanming did say this just now, and was disturbed by Meng Shanming's condition, and his thoughts didn't match for a while, and he hesitated: "In other words, Meng Shuai has other plans?"

Zhang Hu nodded.

Gong Lince: "You might as well tell me in detail." ”

Zhang Hu shook his head: "I can't say it, I will give the order, and the taxi can carry it out, and there is no need to make everyone know." ”

Gong Lince snorted lightly, "What, even I don't trust it?"

Zhang Hu: "This is not a question of trust or distrust, can the lives of hundreds of thousands of horses be staked with the word 'trust'? The military planes on the battlefield are all top secrets, and those who cannot be restrained by military orders will be concealed!"

Gong Lince looked slightly dissatisfied, but he was not reluctant, Zhang Hu didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to do anything to Zhang Hu now.

......

After the new rain in the empty mountain, a mountain is slightly foggy, and you can overlook the flow of the Dongyu River.

Niu Youdao took the news from Gongsun Bu handed by Guan Fangyi, and after reading it, he smiled slightly, "Meng Shanming is worthy of Meng Shanming, Song Guojiang's defense really failed to stop him, so he broke through it in one fell swoop." I didn't move for a long time before, and even I was anxious for him. ”

He was indeed a little anxious before, because he knew that the army's food was limited, and he had even arranged for people to investigate the situation of the monks on the other side, wanting to start with the monks on the other side to see if he could get some people to secretly let the Yan army cross the river. Whoever wants Meng Shanming to do it himself, he doesn't need to bother at all.

As for the casualties on the news, he only saw an approximate figure, and he didn't feel much about the tragic situation of the battle, only the joy of the good news.

He didn't understand this, and he didn't see it with his own eyes, and he really didn't have any tragic feelings.

Guan Fangyi only sighed, "The army is fighting, human life is like mustard, a generation of famous generals... It will be a success, and the bones will wither!"

......

"Your Excellency, reinforcements are here. ”

The defeated Hukou defenders were resting in the mountains and forests, and Xu Laiping, who had a decadent face, sat on a stone and lowered his head, and the morale of the soldiers around him was sluggish.

A gallop came and rejoiced in the good news.

There was movement in the distance, Xu Laiping slowly raised his head to look ahead, and after a while, he saw a mighty group of people and horses.

At the front of the line, dozens of fast horses came and stopped here.

The person at the head was Liao Nanqing, the chief general of the Qingqu garrison, and Xu Laiping, who was sitting on horseback and facing the mountainside, said loudly: "Brother Xu." ”

Xu Laiping went down the mountain, came to the horse and shook his head bitterly, "The Hukou defense line is lost, Xu Mouwan is to blame for his death, and in the future, the family in Beijing will be small, and I hope that Brother Liao will take care of it." ”

Liao Nanqing jumped off the horse and took his arm, "Brother Xu doesn't have to be so depressed, the governor has an order, ordering you and me to join forces, and be sure to recapture the Hukou defense line before Xu Jingyue's troops cross the river. As long as he can recapture the Hukou defense line, Brother Xu will be demoted at most, and the family can still take care of it, so why entrust it to others. ”

Now is not the time to be verbose, Xu Laiping can't slack off, he can only cheer up again.

The two sides met and marched to the Hukou defense line again, and Xu Laiping made a comeback.

......

The army of the Song State that went deep into the hinterland of the Yan State was still heading straight for Yanjing, and it was still like a bamboo, and the sporadic harassment of the small people in the state capitals was like tickling, and it was impossible to stop the offensive of the Song army.

The army moved forward, and on the side of the road, Luo Zhao had already jumped off the horse, his hands on the saddle and his head lowered, the whole person seemed to be trembling, a white cloak covering his body was shaking, and his knuckles were white.

Several people on the side took turns to check the battle report sent by the Song Guojiang defense, and the Hukou defense line was broken by the Yan army in one fell swoop!

The faces of everyone present were ugly.

After receiving a battle report before, saying that a large number of Yan troops suddenly attacked the granary behind the Hukou defense line, Luo Zhao expected that there would be no real number of Yan troops, so he asked the side to beware of the plan, and urgently passed on the countermeasures to go back.

Who knows, it is estimated that the news from here is still on the way, and the news that the Hukou defense line has been breached has already arrived.

"When did my Jiang Fang become papier-mâché, how could it be broken with a single stab? Wu Qunlie, you idiot, damn it!" Luo Zhao suddenly slammed his fist on the saddle, and the startled horses retreated and neighed.

The horse retreated, Luo Zhao covered his hands to the sky, let go of his hands and shook his head vigorously, and said with a hideous face: "Mengshan Ming old horseman!"

He couldn't believe it, he really couldn't believe that the defense line could be broken by Meng Shanming so quickly, and he didn't even get time to attack Yanjing, he really hoped that this news was fake, but he knew that it couldn't be fake.

Su Yuanbai shook the battle report in his hand, and said with a cold face: "According to what the battle report says, the river defense was broken in two or three hours, how is this possible?"

Dong Yinglai also said: "How did the Yan soldiers and horses who sneak attack in the rear of the river defense cross the river? The monks along the river have set up cross patrols, and it is impossible for the monks to find out when so many people and horses cross the river.

Wen You frowned and said: "Jiang Fang is confused, and he still hasn't figured out how the enemy army smuggled over." ”

Luo Zhao shook his head weakly and said: "Meng Shanming's inaction in those days is probably to make trouble in the dark and make advance preparations for crossing the river. ”

In this regard, he can only judge a rough idea, but he doesn't know that Meng Shanming waited for the heavy rain to come when he went to Chatian, and selected the Rolling Dragon Gorge when he went down to Chatian, and the selected warriors crossed the Rolling Dragon Gorge at the cost of their lives, and only after concentrating all kinds of factors did they break through the Hukou defense line in one fell swoop.

Behind the war that seems to have been won in one fell swoop, I don't know how much effort Meng Shanming has put in, who would have thought that Meng Shanming would actually cross the natural danger when the river was soaring and the water was turbulent and it was most impossible to cross the river?

Chang Fei said: "Governor, the matter has come to this, I am afraid that the court will be shaken, and I am afraid that I will urge back to help." ”

Luo Zhao: "Returning to the aid just fell into Meng Shanming's trick, so he took the opportunity to relieve the siege of Yanjing, besides, my army is so far away from the Dongyu River, and it is too late to go back now." Jin Jue's bastard is hateful, and now we can only compete with Meng Shanming for time, first lure South Korea to send troops, so that the destruction of Yan is imminent, and the three major factions of Yan can force Meng Shanming to return to help at any cost. Wu Qunlie, Wu Qunlie, you didn't even buy me this time!"

Hatred and hatred slapped his fist with a fist, "The defense line of the river, if it is broken at one point, the whole line has been loosened, and that idiot of Wu Qunlie is still using the tactics of adding oil to plug the leakage, is he the opponent of Meng Shanming's old thief in the small battle?

Wen You sighed: "This can't actually be blamed on him, before he got his life, how could Wu Qunlie dare to loosen the defensive line, this is a matter of losing his head, he can't afford to take such a big responsibility!"

Luo Zhao: "Immediately send a message to Wu Qunlie and tell him that the defense line is broken, and there is no need to defend it anymore, and the rest of the Yan army will cross the river when they cross the river, and he only needs to gather heavy troops, suppress the weak with the strong, and destroy the enemy one by one with absolute strength." If you can't eliminate it cleanly, don't be afraid, how much can be eliminated, Meng Shanming is short of grain and grass, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, just bite Meng Shanming's back to be virtual and real, don't give him a chance to get grain and grass, and he will soon be killed!"

Wen You wrote it down and quickly left, urgently passing this major strategic deployment to Wu Qunlie.

"Alas!" Luo Zhao suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, and said to himself: "If Meng Shanming wants to make a difference in the territory of the Song Kingdom, he must destroy the main force of our Jiang defense, otherwise once it is bitten by the main force of Jiang Fang, the grain and grass situation of the Yan army will not be able to withstand the toss at all." I hope that Wu Qunlie will not be confused again, otherwise Meng Shanming will defend the river defense in turn, and our army will not be able to go back even if it wants to, and the plight of the Yan army's lack of food and grass will fall on our army again. ”
