Overnight, the soldiers, Wu Yue, and Shu troops were almost all attacked by heavenly fire at night.

The three armies suffered heavy losses, grain and grass were burned, casualties, and fled, countless of them.

The siege of Mocheng collapsed, the situation in the south changed suddenly, Wu Yueshu turned from offensive to defensive, and the military power shrank quickly.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and all the forces in the south, except for Chu, were hit hard overnight, causing panic on all sides.

In the southern land, rumors frequently spread that the Yan army had the assistance of ghosts and ghosts, and if they opposed the Yan army, they would be punished by the gods.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the intention, in this era of ignorance, the words of ghosts and gods, no one understands the confusion, and everyone respects it.

Rumors spread from mouth to mouth, adding fuel and vinegar, and the more they spread, the more evil they became, and the more outrageous they became.

It's almost uncontrollable!

However, King Wu Yue Cai Chu all knew that almost at the same time, the soldiers, the Shu army, and Wu Yue were all attacked by heavenly fire, the military rations were destroyed, and the chaotic army was caught off guard by the Yan army that came later.

The generals of the soldiers, Wang Zifei, Wu Changxiong, Liu Yunshan, Wang Yushan and other generals, were captured by the Yan army in the chaotic army, and the huge army of soldiers, only tens of thousands of people escaped death, and they were dismissed from all over the country, and they were afraid of ghosts and gods, and did not dare to continue to participate in the anti-Yan war.

Wu Yuezhong, 100,000 troops, 56 out of 10 casualties, the rest of the remnants, his thoughts fell into panic.

The generals He Jiyan and Wang Zhengwen were in a hurry in the chaotic army, changing the armor of ordinary soldiers, and in the chaotic army, they escaped by luck.

In the Shu army, 100,000 Shu troops, the fire came, the whole army panicked, and the losses were serious.

Later, it was attacked by Li Lin and the Dog Wolf Legion, and was heavily injured by Bai Yisheng's light cavalry, and the whole army was almost wiped out.

General Wen Zhiming, in the chaos of the army, was attacked by a rain of arrows, was seriously injured, life and death are unknown, and was lucky to survive the Shu army and protect the return to China.

This change in the situation in the south is enough to record the battles in the history books, which attracted the attention of the kings of the south, and they have ordered that the spread of news is strictly prohibited to avoid causing turmoil in the hearts of the people.

In addition, officials will be dispatched to thoroughly investigate the matter and find out who is behind it.

The gods are haunting, how is it possible, although the king of Wu Yue Shu Chu believes a little, he is still unwilling, why should the gods make trouble, just help Yan Guo.

In Mocheng, Feng Shihu and Zhao Hongru led their troops to return safely at dawn.

Within two days, Zhang Yu, Xing Yike, and Bai Yisheng successively sent messengers back to send back the casualties of the various legions.

In the Jinluan Palace, Lin Feng read the messenger's letters and learned that the three attacks were successful, and Wu Yueshu's soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, Lin Feng did not stay in Mocheng for a long time, and arranged for Lin Xiao to be stationed in Mocheng to control the overall situation in the south.

Together with Feng Shihu and Zhao Hongru, he led a small number of troops in Mocheng and marched to the four cities along the river in the north.

Once arriving, join the Yan army, which was the first to go with Ju Wentai and Zhao Jun, and immediately cross the river.

Jiangbei, Yandongnan, Lujiang County.

Hou Mingfeng led 50,000 Blue Feather Legions, gathered 50,000 cavalry along the way, and Lei Zhanhu brought nearly 20,000 remnants of soldiers.

At this moment, Yue Zhenchuan led 100,000 Song troops under the Song Dynasty, and almost captured the entire territory of Lujiang County, leaving only the small northern city of Yancheng.

Although the Song army was temporarily hindered in Yancheng, it was still high, and the spies closely monitored the changes in Yancheng, and if there was any abnormality, they would immediately report to Yue Zhenchuan!

In Yancheng, there are cavalry who led Lin Feng to cross the river, and they defended here.

Under the coercion of the Song army, in a passive position of defending as an attack, Yue Zhenchuan led his troops to attack three times, using many siege equipment, but still returned in vain.

At noon, when Hou Mingfeng led more than 100,000 troops into the city, he deeply felt the strong murderous aura in Yancheng.

The Yan army defending the city was exhausted, but it was still in a state of constant combat and did not dare to be careless.

This point, Hou Mingfeng can understand, the battle situation is unfavorable, Dayan lost three counties in a row, and when the Yan cavalry has very few troops, it can only defend the city and delay the pace of the Song army.

However, Yu Zhendong, the general of the Song army, led Yue Zhenchuan, Han Junshan, and Zhao Yanpu to send troops to the east and west, and the Yan army was insufficient.

Hou Mingfeng led the troops to appear in Yancheng, and the remaining troops warmly welcomed Hou Mingfeng to preside over the overall situation.

After all, his position in the Yan army, second only to the emperor, has established countless military exploits, and Hou Mingfeng personally came to the front line, and it is very likely that he will expel the Song army.

The defending general ordered Huzang to personally lead the troops, and on the way back to the house, he handed over the situation in Yancheng to Hou Mingfeng!

Hou Mingfeng expected that the main force had not returned, so that the fox was in a difficult situation in Yancheng, but unexpectedly, the situation was far worse than imagined.

According to what Linghu Zang said, Song Qi took advantage of the lack of air defense on the border of Yan and sent Yu Zhendong to lead an army of 300,000 troops to attack Yan from different directions.

At present, Yue Zhenchuan led the vanguard army to the fastest, coercing Yanchengxia, Han Junshan, and Zhao Yanpu to seize the surrounding cities, and he would lead the army to reach Yancheng.

At that time, even though he brought more than 100,000 Yan troops from the Beijing Division, under the coercion of the multiplied Song army, the small walls of Yancheng City were low and could not be stopped. It was only a matter of time before the Song army seized Yancheng and annexed Lujiang County.

At that time, Yu Zhendong led two other armies, which were bound to attack Hanshan County in the north of Lujiang County from two different directions.

Once Dayan loses four counties in a row, the morale of the whole army will be frustrated, and it will also cause people's hearts to fluctuate, and the impact will be very bad!

Hou Mingfeng, Linghu Zang, and many generals arrived in the palace, did not rest, and hurriedly gathered the generals in the army to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.

In order to resolve the crisis, it is necessary to defend Yancheng to the death, even if the terrain of Yancheng is not conducive to defending it, it is necessary to find a better way to block the Song army and make it difficult to advance an inch.

In the lobby, Hou Mingfeng, Ling Huzang, Lei Zhanhu, and Gu Yue and Zhuo Yuan, who accompanied the army to fight, gathered together.

After Hou Mingfeng drank a cup of warm tea, he took the lead in speaking and asked Linghu Zang: "General Linghu, you are leading the troops on the front line, you know more about the Song army, and you know the situation on the battlefield better, what do you think?" ”

Although the Yan army was in a disadvantageous position, all the generals were fierce generals on the battlefield and had a very appropriate grasp of the battle situation.

Ling Huzang was silent for a while, pointed his finger at the sand table in front of him, and said loudly: "General, the small walls of Yancheng City are short, and it is difficult to defend in the face of the fierce offensive of the Song army.

Forced defense, in the Song army's powerful siege equipment attack, will cause great casualties, and even 100,000 troops buried in the city, it is not impossible.

The last general believed that the only way to prevent the Song army from continuing to advance westward was to abandon Yancheng, transfer the army, and defend the burial horse slope between Lujiang County and Hanshan County.

As long as they stick to the burial slope, if the Song army wants to enter Hanshan County, there are only two roads, either they march directly to the burial slope, or they must make a detour of 300 miles to the south of Hanshan County and invade from Echeng.

The city of Echeng has high walls and thick walls, and the south side is close to the Han River, which is not conducive to the Song army's battle.

If the general's guess is right, after Yue Zhenchuan captures Yancheng, the momentum of the Song army will rise, and Yue Zhenchuan will lead the Song army, and he will definitely not be willing to go far and make a detour to Echeng, so there will be a battle in the burial of Mapo! ”

Hearing the sound, Hou Mingfeng, Lei Zhanhu, Gu Yue, and Zhuo Yuan shifted their eyes to the sand table and observed them in detail.

The terrain of the burial horse slope is steep, the outside is large and the inside is small, and it is condescending, which is very suitable for setting up the enemy to defend against the enemy.

However, the march of the army to Bury Mapo was not without drawbacks.

Soon, Gu Yue raised his head and looked at Linghu Zang and asked first: "General Linghu, if the whole army retreats to Burying Mapo, won't Yancheng be handed over to the Song army in vain?" ”

Hou Mingfeng also raised his head, staring at Ling Huzang, as if asking how the other party would make arrangements.

He also raised a question, saying: "The burial horse slope is nearly a hundred miles away from Yancheng, the army is pulled, and garrisoned, it takes effort, the short one takes one day, the long one takes two days, the whole army is opened, who is defending Yancheng, buying time for the army." ”

"That's right, you must not give up Yancheng easily, the army goes to Bury Mapo, there must be an army to stay and defend Yancheng, but if the army leaves, any army stays to defend Yancheng, it is possible to fall into the Song army surrounding, and there is a tragedy of city destruction and death." Zhuo Yuan also said cautiously.

There is a distance of nearly 100 miles between Yancheng and Fumapo, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, and there must be generals to guard it.

"General, when it is critical, the only way to do this is to form a death squad to defend Yancheng and win time for the transfer. Otherwise, the casualties of the army will be even more serious. Ling Huzang did not answer the generals' words, still emphasizing the importance of transfer.

"Could it be that the Yan army took the initiative to attack out of the city, and there was no chance of victory?" Hou Mingfeng asked.

Leaving the death squad, in the onslaught of the Song army, he was bound to die in Yancheng, he was a little unbearable.

"General, general of the Song army, Han Junshan, Zhao Yanpu seized the cities around Yancheng, and led the army to move to Yancheng, if the Yan army took the initiative to attack, it was mostly entangled by Yue Zhenchuan's army, and was surrounded by Han Junshan and Zhao Yanpu's army, our situation is still not good, and it is safest to go to Fumapo." Ling Huzang emphasized.

What's more, the Song army has a mechanical army, which is simply the nemesis of Yan Qi, and it is absolutely impossible to send troops rashly.

Hou Mingfeng took a long breath, he agreed with Ling Huzang's suggestion, and said ruthlessly: "Since Yancheng can't be saved, the Song army has broken into Yancheng, and they must be dealt a heavy blow, General Gu, you lead 20,000 Yan troops, stay in Yancheng, and reserve enough bows and arrows, oil, and firewood."

If you can't block the Song army according to the city wall, after the other party breaks the city, you burn the city, withdraw as much as possible, and go to Burmapo to join the army. ”

"The general can rest assured, the last general will never disappoint the general's high expectations, at least block the Song army for two days, and give the army enough time to prepare." Gu Yue clenched his fists and said.

Hou Mingfeng nodded: "In this case, the army will immediately withdraw to the burial horse slope, and deploy defenses in advance, as long as the burial horse slope holds on for ten days, the emperor will definitely bring troops back to help, at that time, the Song army must be severely damaged." ”

However, at this time, Lei Zhanhu stepped forward, saluted Hou Mingfeng and Gu Yue, and said, "General, General Gu, you all withdraw, let the end come to guard Yancheng." ”

Lei Zhanhu's idea is extremely simple, since it is very likely that the whole army will be wiped out if he stays in Yancheng, why let the soldiers who can recruit good soldiers stay, and die in vain.

He led the disabled veterans to stay, and he was still able to hinder the advance of the Song army, at most the cost of casualties was greater.
