Qin Ran, the commander of the Chuzhou army, fled too fast, and Han Qian led the guard battalion into the city without getting a hard battle, only outside the western city, he collided with two defenders with a scale of more than 100 people, and he didn't spend much effort to kill them.

Han Qian killed two enemies with his own hands, splashed blood, and was led by Yuan Guowei to guard the battle to the death, and the blade of the horse slashing knife was not broken, so it became an ornament.

Han Qian did not go to the county office, but directly collected the soldiers and horses at the West City Gate.

The buildings in Danyang City are mainly bricks and wood, once the fire is started, it is difficult to extinguish, and now the soldiers are in chaos, and there are not many people who can spare their hands to extinguish the fire, so they can only wait for all the burns to burn out, and the fire will naturally be slowly extinguished.

Yuan Guowei stood beside Han Qian, looking at the faint light of the fire in the city, but the turmoil in his heart could not be calmed down, he didn't expect that this battle would end so smoothly with a quick disrupt.

However, his excited and even excited heart also has irrepressible worries, what will they do next?

When they captured Danyang City, it can only be said that they smacked a handful of hair on the Chuzhou army, and failed to severely damage the strength of the Chuzhou army, but it was enough pain for the Chuzhou army, and it is not difficult to imagine how the Chuzhou army will be furious after reacting.

The alliance between Tanzhou and Chuzhou was completely torn to pieces at this moment, but Han Qian had a deep hatred with Anning Palace, and Yue Yang also spread the word that the world angrily denounced Anning Palace and the crown prince for plotting to kill the first emperor and usurp the throne, the two sides were incompatible, they were isolated and helpless at this point in the mausoleum, and more than 40,000 women and children were purely burdensome, but they had to face two strong enemies who were more than ten times or even dozens of times stronger than them, how could they survive to the end?

Yuan Guowei had too much worry and confusion in his heart, but the generals under the city were enjoying the pleasure of revenge and killing a strong enemy at this moment, and saw Han Qian and Yuan Guowei standing at the head of the city, gathering over and shouting.

"Shi Ji, Xiao Dahu!" Han Qian called Shi Ji and Xiao Dahu, who fought bravely but were not injured, to come down to the city by name, leaned over and ordered, "You immediately rush to Yanling with a team of men and horses, organize all the women and children, and retreat to Maoshan!" The baggage is abandoned first, not taken for the time being, and after our side is reorganized, we will rush directly to Maoshan to meet you! ”

"My lord, let's spend our old nose hard, lay down Danyang, don't we keep Danyang?" Shi Ji stood under the city and asked loudly in confusion.

"Don't keep it!"

Han Qian did not shy away from openly discussing his initial strategy, at the moment the three thousand generals are tired and remnants, and they must stimulate everyone's courage and fearlessness, so that they can hold on to the end, then they must be fully mobilized ideologically, and said loudly,

"Our battle, in addition to avenging the previous one-arrow revenge, is more important to expose our fangs and claws. Whether it is the king of faith or the thief of the palace of peace, we must tell them plainly that whoever dares to harm my parents, wife and children, unless we all die, we will make them pay the price of painful blood. Therefore, some battles must be fought, and they must be fought without fear of sacrifice, but Danyang City is too small, there will not be too much grain storage, and it is too close to Dantu and Baohua Mountain, once so many of our old and weak women and children are surrounded by Chuzhou soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to have room for advance and retreat, and it will be difficult to maintain the grain in the city for too long. If we retreat to Maoshan, we can use the mountain as a city, and any force that dares to be our enemy and wants to destroy us, we must make every stone and every piece of black soil in Maoshan be coated with their blood! Even if God dooms Han Qian to death, Han Qian will have a happy death with the generals! ”

"Okay, good, even if you die, you will die happily!"

The generals on the inside of the city wall shouted in response.

"Okay, okay, before I took the order to Yanling, and organized the women and children to withdraw to Maoshan!" Shi Ji and Xiao Dahu also responded loudly, ordered more than 200 generals under their command, brought the war horses that had just been handed over, and rushed out of the city to Yanlingbu as soon as possible, and organized the more than 40,000 old and weak women and children who stayed there to evacuate to Maoshan.

Most of the people in Taowu have received preliminary cavalry training, but they are not good at it.

The newly captured war horses are still stubborn, Shi Ji and Xiao Dahu led the team, and after leaving the city, they walked crookedly all the way, Han Qian stood at the head of the city and even saw someone fall off the war horse from time to time, but everyone fell and their noses and eyes were swollen, and no one said to stop.

The time left for them was very limited, and Dantu City, where the main force of the Chuzhou Army was located, stood on the river more than 60 miles north of Danyang City.

Although Yanling is only more than 20 miles away from the eastern foot of Maoshan Mountain, the movement of more than 40,000 old and weak women and children is definitely much slower than that of a well-trained army.

Han Qian is in Danyang, and for the time being, he can still attract the attention of the Chuzhou army, so that they don't dare to act rashly for the time being, but they can't delay for long, even if the scattered soldiers can't find the abnormality of Yanlingbu, but if such a big change happens, the Chuzhou army will inevitably strengthen the reconnaissance of the Yanling front line and find out what happened.

At this time, the situation in the city was further stabilized, and after Kong Xirong was wounded, he insisted on leading the team with Zhao Wuji to search for the few remaining enemies in the city; Dou Rong, Wei Chang and others led a team to knock on the courtyard of a deep house, collected grain and materials, and gathered the captured war horses to the west city gate.

After the Chuzhou army crossed the river, they sent soldiers and horses to nearby states and counties to collect grain, which were basically good words and good words, and they still had to win the support of the nearby official gentry families politically, and the purpose was to ascend to the throne, but Han Qian They did not have this time, so they could only choose large households to plunder the city.

Forty or fifty thousand people have to consume three or four hundred stone of grain a day, and there are not many villages in Maoshan, and the grain stock is extremely limited, and Xinchang Marquis Li Pu led everyone to stop in Yanlingbu for nearly two months, almost exhausting the grain stock in Yanlingbu.

"Lord Han said that he wanted the mountain as a city, what specific plan did he have?" Yuan Guowei saw that the situation in the city was almost settled down at this time, so he went deep to explore Han Qian's next plan, they had already taken the first step, and the next step was to send someone to contact Yue Yang, Yuan Guowei, as an old minister loyal to the King of Tan, was also outside of Han Qian, and reported to Yue Yang alone, and he also hoped to know more things at this time.

“…… Speaking of taking mountains as cities, Qiuhu Mountain is taking mountains as cities, but it was discarded by Li Pu in vain," Han Qian looked in the northwest direction, and Qiuhu Mountain was in that direction, and said regretfully, "If Li Pu has the courage to stay in Qiuhu Mountain, at least within a year, he is not afraid that Anning Palace will be able to capture it, where will there be embarrassment at this time?" ”

Yuan Guowei thought carefully about the defense system of Qiumu Mountain, and thought to himself.

The front of Qiuhu Mountain is the valley mouth of the strong military fortress to seal the mountain, the surrounding mountain ridge gap, also have a solid sentry fort, the more important Qiuhu Mountain is backed by Baohua Mountain that stretches for nearly 100 miles, and in recent years, the mining of coal and iron ore, the mining of the back mountain is relatively sufficient, and the plank road can directly lead to the Yangtze River at the northern foot of Baohua Mountain.

In this case, a large group of soldiers and horses cannot enter Qiuhu Mountain from the front, and even if a small group of soldiers and horses can penetrate from the mountain path, they can take six or seven thousand elite soldiers, and they can even replenish grain and grass and elite soldiers and horses from the outside through the mountain path.

Qiuhu Mountain is based on the entire Baohua Mountain, unless Anning Palace or Chuzhou can completely control Jinling and Runzhou, otherwise there is no need to worry about who will gnaw on their hard bones.

It's a pity that Han Qian and Shen Yang invested so many resources and energy into Qiuhu Mountain from the beginning of preparing for the establishment of the Dragon Bird Army, and built a defense system, Xinchang Marquis, Li Pu, Zheng Chang, Han Daoming, and no one dared to defend them.

Thinking of this, Yuan Guowei was also heartbroken, but unfortunately there were concubines, Zheng Chang and others, but they would never admit that giving up Qiuhu Mountain was the wrong choice.

Maoshan is much smaller than Baohua Mountain, stretching from north to south for almost 20 miles, and only 7 or 8 miles from east to west, the situation of mountains and rivers is much worse than that of Baohua Mountain, and they only have 3,000 remnants in their hands, but they have to protect 40,000 or 50,000 women and children.

However, taking Maoshan as the city and retreating to Maoshan is better than trapping Danyang City.

“……”

The sky is clear and cloudless, standing on the riverbank and looking northeast of the past, you can see black smoke billowing above Danyang City, Xinchang Hou Li Pu stood there for a long time and didn't know what to say, his heart was turbulent but it was difficult to breathe calm:

Han Qian's grandson really took 3,000 remnants of soldiers to fight Danyang City, which was garrisoned by 2,000 elite troops of the Chuzhou army? And on the side of Yanlingbu, except for the women's battalion that temporarily organized more than 1,000 healthy women, this grandson did not leave a single soldier to defend!

This grandson is not afraid that after tearing his face, King Xin sent three or five hundred elite horsemen to slaughter the forty or fifty thousand unarmed old and weak women and children here?

Xinchang Hou Li Pu's heart churned with huge waves.

Today was the three-day appointment period after Han Qian agreed to let them return to Yueyang on their own, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu felt that something was wrong in the early morning, and when the sky showed a white fish belly, he sent someone out of the courtyard where they were under house arrest and went into the town to inspect, only to find that the remnants of Yanlingbu had suddenly disappeared completely, and he didn't know where he went.

Li Pu thought that Han Qian's grandson was ruthless, abandoned the women and children, and deceived away overnight with a few remnants, and he also wished to do so in his heart, but soon saw the faint light of the fire on the side of Danyang City.

Only then did he know that after Han Qian went into the night yesterday, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Chuzhou army, he led his soldiers and horses to lurk near Danyang City in the dark, and then took advantage of the darkness when the sky was about to dawn to enter Danyang City, and tore the covenant between Chuzhou and Tanzhou to pieces without any scruples.

Han Qian's bold and reckless actions deviated from the sword, once again shocking Li Pu deeply.

He didn't know why Han Qian thought that he could take Danyang City with 3,000 remnants, and even if he took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and captured Danyang City, how many people would be left under his hands, and why should he face the 50,000 Chuzhou army elites who were furious and had already crossed the river?

Doesn't this grandson know that Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, can crush the forty or fifty thousand old and weak women and children here in Yanling Port with a little finger?

Doesn't this grandson know that the covenant between Chuzhou and Tanzhou, even if there is only the last fake skin left, it can't be easily torn apart?

Yueyang has already spread the word to the world, enslaving Anning Palace and the crown prince for plotting to kill the first emperor and usurping the throne, the two sides will never make peace and compromise, and at this time they will tear up the alliance with Chuzhou, is it possible that Yueyang wants to be an enemy with Anning Palace and Chuzhou at the same time? !
