After thousands of calculations, it is still a bad move. According to the oral account of this pro-soldier who broke through the siege, as soon as the Jiangdong war situation began, the officers and troops were ready to move, and now the troops were divided into two routes, Luo Shangwen besieged Dawan Mountain, and Luo Wenyuan grabbed the northern ferry.

The Song River in the east of Dahuo Mountain is slightly in the shape of "Qi" here, the water potential is turbulent in the east, and there is only one place in the north to cross the river to cross. According to the pre-war arrangement, the two sides of the ferry were guarded by Liu Weiming's troops as the rear of the palace. At this time, it had already begun to engage fiercely with the incoming Luo Wenyuan troops.

Zhao Dangshi's heart was like thunder, pounding, and the time difference was so well grasped, which showed that the officials and soldiers had premeditated. Could it be that the two of them were just acting on the scene when they negotiated with Er Luo not long ago? Stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, calculating others, but not wanting to be calculated. He didn't know that Ma Gan's heart was like iron stone, so he had already prepared a letter of resignation and severed relations with Ma Zhang's family. A few days ago, Erluo had already begun to plan for the attack on the mountain with his permission. Hypocrisy and Zhao Dangshi came and went, just to slack his heart.

On reflection, I thought that it was just wishful thinking on my part that the officers and soldiers did not dare to act rashly. If you look down on others in your self-righteousness, you will now have to suffer the consequences.

It's just that the wood is in the boat, and it's not the time to feel sorry for yourself. Zhao Dangshi looked eastward, and he was a little hesitant in his heart. Yuan Tao has not been broken, and the strong enemy is coming, and there are really wolves and tigers in front of him. He was wondering, should he immediately set off to rescue Da Shou Mountain, or wait for a while, and wait for the east to divide the victory and defeat before moving?

He made a decision. Yuan Tao is not broken this time, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, and he can fight again next time; And Da Hou Mountain is the heavy land for his army's heavy money and grain hoarding, where the root is, once lost, he will be a rootless tree, at that time, there is no need for the enemy to come again, I am afraid that Bai and Liu will first tie themselves up to Yuan Tao to atone for their sins. Therefore, Erluo is the gangrene of the appendage, which must be removed.

Now that it has been decided to rescue Dahushan, the war in the east cannot be delayed any longer. Time was pressing, he forcibly calmed down, and first sent Tang Ma to Hou Dagui to inform him of his action. It was almost evening, and Hou Dagui's army had not yet moved. He was a miracle soldier that Zhao Dangshi used to completely defeat Yuan Tao. I originally planned to wait for a while and wait for the ditch to be stuck on the other side of the ditch before I could make a move, but I couldn't wait, so I could only let him attack in advance.

On the other side, he immediately called Yang Chengfu and gathered the entire army of Hongshan Temple. The soldiers stationed here were all horses, about 200 men, who were carrying out orders in an orderly manner, but suddenly they were summoned, and they were all confused. There were a few quick minds in it who observed the expressions of Zhao Dangshi and Yang Chengfu, and guessed a few points, but they didn't dare to speak casually.

Zhao Dangshi explained the situation to everyone, only saying that it was a sneak attack on Dahou Mountain by a thief and a thief, and it did not involve officials and soldiers. It seems that a few words are different, but there is a lot of article in it. If it is a thief, the combat power is weak, and in the end, the army is still facing an opponent, and the hearts of the soldiers may not be floating. Once the officers and soldiers are shaken out, they are afraid that the soldiers will be frightened, thinking that they are in a desperate situation of being flanked, and they will be cowardly before fighting.

Yang Chengfu then reprimanded a few words, and then went down the mountain one after another. Before leaving, Zhao Dangshi did not forget to leave a few henchmen, and continued to control the banner on the Hongshan Temple - the handsome flag is the soul of the army, and the thing that stabilizes the army's heart. Of course, he also sent a message to Hou, Xu, Hao and others, on the one hand, to let them fight with peace of mind, and on the other hand, to urge them to solve the battle as soon as possible and return to help in time. These people are high-ranking people in the army, and although they have different personalities, when they burn their eyebrows, they are still more at ease about Zhao Dangshi.

The strategic intent of the officers and troops to advance this time is obvious. That is, to seize the northern ferry port first and block the main force of Zhao Ying on the north bank. Only one part of the city was left in Wang Laixing, and the garrison was empty, and the onslaught must be attacked. Zhao Dangshi couldn't let the other party's plan take advantage of it, and even sent Tang horses to listen to the battle at the ferry, and at the same time accelerated the march.

Liu Weiming, as the rear army, has 2,000 people. Originally, his command post was located in Hejiawan Village on the north shore, not far from Hongshan Temple. The enemy attack came suddenly, and the south bank was tight, so he only had time to send someone to say hello to Zhao Dangshi, so he pulled out the north bank and waited for the opportunity to support more than 1,000 people from Tuya Bazi to meet the enemy in the south. When the 200 horse army arrived on the north bank of the ferry, Liu Weiming's whole army had already crossed the river.

The ferry was not lost, and Zhao Dangshi breathed a sigh of relief. There was only one old bridge across the river before, the bridge was small and narrow, the army was sad, in order to facilitate the passage of people, Zhao Ying temporarily erected more than ten pontoon bridges. If this place is lost, the official army only needs to set fire to the pontoon bridge, leaving a few men and horses to stick to the south bank, then Zhao Dangshi and his brigade on the north bank can only look at the river and sigh, and sit back and watch the fall of Dahucheng.

Luo Wenyuan, who attacked the ferry, had 1,200 soldiers, including hundreds of gunners and several artillery pieces. Liu Weiming's subordinates were killed in a row under the strong attack of the official army. He knew that the place he was defending was extremely important, and he had the idea of dying, and even if he could not support it, he still tried his best to supervise the army to fight to the death.

Compared with Zhao Ying's original team, Liu Weiming's combat effectiveness is obviously different, even compared to the Baijiaolong Department, which is also a stick thief, and the task assigned to him by Zhao Dangshi is mainly to defend and stand by in the rear. At this moment in time, the original rear became the front line in an instant, and the gains and losses of the ferry were related to the overall situation, and Liu Weiming knew it well. He also knew that Yuan Tao was bound to repay his temperament, and if he failed, he would never be able to get his forgiveness; Surrender officers and soldiers? The killing of prisoners by Xiang Nian, Hong Chengchou and others is still in front of them, and the predecessors have learned from them, how can they repeat the mistakes of the past? Therefore, the only thing he can do is to risk his life and hold the battle line.

In his busy schedule, he glanced back, but saw that the two hundred horse army behind him was crossing the river, and he was slightly relieved, and shouted: "The reinforcements of the army led by the thousand generals are coming, and the sons and daughters are not in a hurry to show off their spirits, don't let other families and horses look down on us!" With an order, more than a dozen soldiers around him also shouted according to his original words, and the news of Zhao Dangshi's arrival soon spread throughout the army.

Don't look at a short sentence, but it plays a big role. The arrival of Zhao Dangshi was like a reassuring pill, which calmed down Liu Yingjun's heart, which was beginning to fluctuate a little. The main force of Zhao Ying has repeatedly broken the official army before, although the soldiers of Liu Ying have not seen it with their own eyes, but they also admire it tightly, and when they hear the news at this moment, they all think that they have a chance to win, and they are not willing to fall into their own prestige in front of friendly troops, so they all cheer up and move forward bravely.

Luo Wenyuan obviously felt the pressure increase sharply, and when he was confused, the sentry cavalry came to report, saying that it was another group of men and horses from the north bank, the number of which was unknown, but there were many horse troops, and they seemed to be elite. He couldn't help but panic, could it be that the surnamed Zhao had already solved the Jiangdong war situation and the whole army had returned to help? If so, you may not be able to cover it by yourself.

He sent the sentry cavalry to investigate carefully, and sent people to Dahou Mountain to check the progress of the attack, and at the same time, appropriately moved the front back - if it was really the Zhao battalion's army coming, the battle would be too stalemate to get out.

Zhao Dangshi naturally didn't know that because of his arrival, the war on the south bank had changed subtly. He was still anxious: there was no news of Dahou City, and he did not know the situation; The ferry port is also clearly suppressed and beaten. The balance of victory seemed to be tilting in favor of the officers and troops.

Liu Weiming found him, gasped and asked, "Mr. Qian, how many people did you bring?" ”

"Two hundred."

"Two hundred?" Liu Weiming was stunned, and his whole face twisted into a bitter gourd shape, "There are thousands of officers and soldiers on dog days, and the villain is almost unbearable." ”

Zhao Dangshi, the old man in the army, how could he not see the dangerous situation here, but his face was not shocked: "Don't worry, Leader Liu, I am the front, the army is behind, and it will be there in a moment." As long as you strictly supervise the soldiers and soldiers, and hold the ferry before the army comes, it will be a great achievement. "Hou Dagui and Xu Hui have no idea when they will be able to solve Yuan Tao." The army is behind, and it will be "Yunyun, just to stabilize Liu Weiming's heart, three points of truth, seven points of falsehood." To be honest, that's because just now, Hao Shaoqi sent someone to say that he had rushed on the road with the remaining two hundred soldiers. His other 300 people were temporarily handed over to Xu Hui, and they were still fighting fiercely in the ditch.

Liu Weiming didn't care how credible Zhao Dangshi's words were, the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, he had also experienced it many times, and he didn't care about this time. gritted his teeth and said, "That's good, please also ask Mr. Qian to watch the villain's performance!" After speaking, he greeted left and right, turned his head and left.

Zhao Dangshi sent him there and raised his whip to watch the battle. At present, although Luo Wenyuan has a small number of people, he has the upper hand by virtue of his advantages in equipment and firearms. The gap in strength is too obvious, even if Liu Weiming's department bravely breaks through the sky, it is impossible to reverse the decline, and it can only be counted as a moment.

Looking at the ferry, Hao Shaoqi has not yet arrived, if he comes, Liu Weiming is still not defeated, with the combined force of the two, he can still withstand for a while. As long as you persist until Hou, Xu and others come, there is hope that defeat will turn into victory. It's just that what he is most worried about now is still the big mountain.

He has seen the combat effectiveness of Luo Shangwen's department, and it is a few points stronger than this Luo Wenyuan. With Wang Laixing, who did not have much combat experience, and his rear commander, who was not strong in combat, it was absolutely difficult to resist the onslaught of the official army. If you don't rescue as soon as possible, so that Dahou City falls, even if they arrive at Dagui, it will be useless.

After thinking about it, he couldn't make up his mind, should he respond to Liu Weiming's resistance to Luo Wenyuan here, or should he go to Dahou Mountain first regardless of everything? The hustle and bustle of the four fields, the swords are like a forest, and from time to time the gunpowder smoke emitted by the artillery drifts with the wind, lingering in front of the horse, and it is very choking. Zhao Dangshi coughed twice, his heart was like numbness, his style of doing things has always been resolute and decisive, and he was willing to take risks even when the advantages outweighed the disadvantages, but he had never been as indecisive as he is today. Sitting down, the war horse seemed to know the master's thoughts, and he also stood still, pulling his bridle at ease.

The lord did not speak, and Yang Chengfu was cautious and did not dare to speak out at will. In the midst of the hesitation, there were constantly wounded soldiers with missing arms and legs, and their heads covered with blood stains, passing in front of the horse army under the support of the robe. At this moment, the two hundred horse troops seemed to be out of the way, neither supporting the front-line soldiers, nor doing anything else, just holding their breath, looking at Zhao Dangshi alone.

When it was, in the midst of the chaotic horses, the three horsemen suddenly came and galloped to Zhao Dangshi's horse, and the person who took the lead immediately bowed his hand and said: "Mr. Qian, I have won the news of the city." ”

Zhao Dangshi looked at the young knight and knew him, Yang Zhaofeng, the younger brother of Yang Chengfu, who had been ordered to investigate the situation before.

"Report it."

This news came at a good time, and only after understanding the situation over there can we make a final decision.

"The official army is arrested, the king will lead a number of people to repel his people, and the mountain city is stable!" At this point, Yang Zhaofeng deliberately raised his voice. Sure enough, the surrounding soldiers heard this, and their worries disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, he lowered his head and said in a low voice: "The mountain city is tired, if it is not rescued as soon as possible, it will definitely not be protected before sunset." ”

Zhao Dangshi understood, but when he saw that he wanted to speak, he asked, "There is another situation?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng bowed slightly, glanced to the side, Zhao Dangshi walked to the side with him, called Yang Chengfu up, and the three of them met.

"Mr. Qian, the villain has witnessed with his own eyes, the official army is very urgent to attack the mountain, if it weren't for the king's proper deployment of the general and He master's book, I am afraid that it would have fallen."

"What is the master book?" Zhao Dangshi was stunned. Wang Laixing, as the main general of the mountain guard, is mentioned freely. But that He Kewei is just a clerical job arranged to assist him, and he has no real power, and he can be deliberately mentioned, which shows that his person has indeed played a big role in guarding the mountain.

The urgency of the situation did not allow him to worry about such details, and he asked, "What else is the situation?" Yang Zhaofeng's expression was wrong, and he clearly made a big discovery.

Yang Zhaofeng cleared his throat, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "The official army attacked the three gates, and the villain went up the mountain from the empty gate to get a chance." ”

"Say."

"The official army is bound to win this attack on the mountain. Luo Shenjiang sent almost all the soldiers and horses up the mountain in one go, leaving the garrison empty. "The Roshanwen Department has suffered some losses in the previous defeat, and the number is only more than 1,000. And he disliked Cangxi Shen Guofu's township soldiers who were unbearable to fight, and politely refused Cangxi's request to assist in the battle, in fact, one did not want his people to drag him back, and the other was also the intention of swallowing the city's exploits - the elite of the city was exhausted, and he was not prepared to attack it by surprise, no matter how he looked at it, he had a ten percent chance of winning. However, he underestimated the will of Wang Laixing and others to resist, and the troops were divided into three routes, and the troops were a little stretched, and he thought that Luo Wenyuan was blocking the ferry, so he gradually drew troops and added them to attack the city, so that there was an empty scene of this formation.

"This ......" The good news that fell from the sky instantly made Zhao Dangshi see a glimmer of light in the dark clouds, and under the nervousness and excitement, his body trembled a little, "Can you see the truth?" ”

Yang Zhaofeng patted his chest and said solemnly: "There is no joke in the army, and now General Luo is guarding a maximum of 100 people, and his main force is either trapped in the battle city or located on the mountainside, so it is too late to respond." ”

Yang Chengfu looked at Zhao Dangshi's performance and was a little flustered. He has never been adventurous, and in his opinion, he still fights steadily, first helping Liu Weiming to sweep the formation, stabilize the situation at the ferry, and wait until the large army arrives, and then try to counterattack. Wang Laixing has no feelings for him, and his death in battle has nothing to do with him; It's okay to lose the big city, anyway, isn't it a rogue? If the things are gone, then grab them, and leave Qingshan not afraid of no firewood, in the end, this thing on the neck is expensive.

"Mr. Qian, Hugh listens to him fart. Luo Shangwen, a veteran of a hundred battles, how could he make such a mistake? From the villain's point of view, it still has to be steady. One said to Zhao Dangshi, and the other did not forget to glare at his little brother fiercely.

I don't know why, Yang Zhaofeng is quite determined today, he didn't look at the second brother with half an eye, and said persistently: "Mr. Qian, the official army here is powerful, even if I wait to fight to the death, how can I tell the winner without a moment and a half?" By then, the mountain town would have fallen. Luo Shangwen is lax, it is the best time, and the opportunity cannot be missed! ”

"Mr. Qian!" Yang Chengfu blew his beard angrily and glared, blushing and wanting to persuade again. But Zhao Dangshi stood up with a big hand against the wind and stopped him.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic. Welcome to the right, win to the strange. In the current situation, if we go head-to-head with the officials and the army, step by step, it is definitely not the best policy. To win, you can only surprise. Zhao Dangshi's whole body was like a fire at this time, his blood was boiling, and his eyes looking into the distance also changed from confusion to firmness. Because, he already knows what his next step will be.
