Guan Sheng's attack was very sharp, and while the rebels were busy with the war on the eastern front, a gap was opened directly from the west, and the target was directly aimed at the most conspicuous Chinese tent. At this time, most of the troops of Chai Jin's department were put into the front line, and there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in the camp, especially on the periphery of the camp, except for the patrol soldiers and horses and daily sentry posts, there were no personnel. Chai Jin was also taken aback, Guan Sheng ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, and dared to play night attacks at this time, Chai Jin was shocked, but he was not afraid, he responded calmly, looked at the dozen generals in the tent, and said with a smile, "Everyone, you seem to be very worried, hum, don't you think these thieves are a little anxious to jump off the wall, the more they are like this, the more it shows that our attack is correct and effective." As for Guan Sheng, there is no need to worry, how many soldiers and horses can be used by Pang He now, Guan Sheng can only bring 5,000 people at most. Now you immediately return to the various departments, concentrate all the remaining soldiers and horses in the battalion to the east, and in addition, send an order to Hu Jin'an on the front line, quickly return to the camp, copy from the outside, and strive to win Guan Sheng and this thief army who does not know the height of the sky in one fell swoop. ”

"Oh" everyone was mobilized by Chai Jin, and the fear in their hearts suddenly became much smaller, isn't it, Pang He's hands are already limited, even if he attacks at night, how many soldiers and horses can be mobilized? As long as his side responds calmly and gathers all the soldiers and horses, he may not lose to Guan Sheng, and after the army on the front line returns, Guan Sheng can only be attacked from both sides, waiting for destruction. The rebels voluntarily ceded most of the camp to the west, which also made Guan Sheng's offensive unusually smooth.

Guan Sheng's night attack was successful, but Pang He kept a close eye on everything on the battlefield, and even strictly ordered the horses to be released for twenty miles to capture all the abnormal situations. Just as Pang He was worried, in the valley fifteen miles of Chai Jin's camp, a large army slowly pounced. Pang He knew that this was Chai Yonghao's ambush, if it wasn't predicted, I am afraid that all the soldiers and horses of the night attack would have been swallowed by Chai Yonghao. Maybe even Chai Jin himself didn't know that he had become a pawn in the game, otherwise, he would not have ordered to shrink his forces and mobilize troops and horses from the front line to reinforce the rear. The distance of more than ten miles, you can get there in an hour by speeding up the pace, so the time left for Pang He is not enough, he pondered for a moment, and said to the adjutant general, "You go in person, tell Guan Sheng to withdraw from the enemy camp immediately, but don't break and flee, and retreat after fighting, be sure to pretend to be real and attract the rebels here." ”

This night, Guan Sheng played heartily, at least he felt very refreshed, and the bird breath that he had been holding back for so long finally came out. As far as Guan Sheng is concerned, he doesn't want to withdraw, but due to the military order, he can only retreat gradually. Guan Sheng decisively withdrew his troops after gaining the advantage, but Chai Jin was taken aback, what happened? Could it be that the Dingguo army is feinting? However, judging from the news from all sides, the possibility of Guan Sheng's feint defeat is very small, because the Dingguo army retreated in turn, covering each other, and it was by no means a rout. If the Dingguo army breaks and flees, it should be worried, but the strict and orderly retreat of the Dingguo army does not seem to be fake. Most of the soldiers of the Dingguo Army have been trained in Dayangtan, practiced in battle formations, and advanced and retreated in wartime, all of which are very particular. Chai Jin has seen many times how the Dingguo army withdraws its troops, no matter what the battle situation is, they retreat very hierarchically, covering, responding to the rear, ambushing on the spot instead of covering behind the palace, the division of labor is very detailed, and the cooperation of various departments is also very skillful. But at this time, there are few who pounce on and pursue, and there are few who are good. Therefore, in the face of Guan Sheng's retreat, Chai Jin is still hesitating whether to catch up, it is said that he should chase it, and the front-line reinforcements should be back soon, even if the Dingguo army retreats in an orderly manner, as long as he stares at the rear and fights fiercely, he will definitely be able to achieve certain results. But I really don't understand why Guan Sheng withdrew, even if he was worried about being attacked by the north and south, he shouldn't have withdrawn so quickly, Guan Sheng didn't look like a timid person.

"Newspaper .... The general sent a letter, ordering our department to be sure to drag the Guan Sheng department, the general is now leading his troops less than ten miles away from us" A scout horse panted and ran over, hearing this, Chai Jin exhaled a long breath, and the biggest mystery in his heart was finally solved. No wonder Guan Sheng gave up breaking the camp when he had achieved such a big advantage, but retreated decisively, feeling that he smelled danger. After making sure that Guan Sheng was not a feint, Chai Jin did not hesitate anymore, and decisively ordered, "Gather all the combatable soldiers in the battalion, be sure to hold off the thief soldiers, and tonight, we will swallow Guan Sheng's soldiers and horses." ”

In fact, in order to deal with the night attack of the Dingguo army, the rebels have urgently assembled, to some extent to buy a lot of time for the pursuit, plus Guan Sheng deliberately slowed down the pace of retreat, and half an hour later, the rebels bit Guan Sheng's tail. Guan Sheng let Fan Wenyuan lead the troops first, he led more than 1,000 people to fight and retreat, the narrow road, there were fallen corpses everywhere, the road to retreat was difficult, Guan Sheng led his troops to resist to the death, but this also strengthened Chai Jin's determination to pursue. Under Chai Jin's delay, the speed of retreat was greatly reduced, and at the beginning of the year, Chai Yonghao's army finally pounced. Hearing that Chai Yonghao was coming, Guan Sheng seemed to wake up suddenly, and no longer entangled with Chai Jin's soldiers and horses, and fled north with all his might, but at this time, a large number of rebels had arrived, and it was not so easy to run.

Chai Jin's mood is not as refreshing as it seems, and it must be uncomfortable to be used as a chess piece. Of course, Chai Yonghao understands that tonight's arrangement touched Chai Jin's sensitive nerves, in terms of background, Chai Jin is an authentic Great Zhou royal family, which is also the reason why he has always regarded himself very highly, and now he is used as a chess piece, Chai Jin may have to think about it more. Chai Yonghao is shrewd, and after seeing that Chai Jin was unhappy, he stepped forward and approached, arching his hand and saying with a serious expression, "Brother, my brother has offended a lot, and this night attack was also thought of temporarily, I really didn't have time to inform my brother, and I hope that my brother will forgive my sins, and my brother is willing to be punished." ”

Chai Yonghao has a high status, in the Chai system, except for Chai Keyan, he belongs to Chai Yonghao, with such a noble status, he put down his body and apologized in person, which has already given Chai Jintian a big face. Chai Yonghao did this, Chai Jin was not easy to attack, and the anger in his heart disappeared a lot, Chai Yonghao's words were a little true, Chai Jin didn't want to know, "Where is the general, everything is for the great cause of the Queen Mother, what is the trivial matter, the top priority, how to annihilate Guan Sheng's department, this thief is so able to run, and he can still toss after escaping for so long." Just now, his brothers rushed and let him block at the intersection. ”

"Don't worry, Guan Sheng can't run" Chai Yonghao dared to say this kind of thing, naturally there was a basis, Guan Sheng stopped and tried his best to resist, it must be because he couldn't escape, so he wanted to take advantage of the complex terrain behind him to do a desperate fight. At this time, if you don't work hard, after the ferry hills, you don't have a chance to fight hard. Let people replace Chai Jin's soldiers and horses, Chai Yonghao gathered more than 4,000 people to launch an attack on the south of the hills, in the face of so many people attacking, Guan Sheng's temporary defense line immediately collapsed, and in desperation, he could only retreat to the depths of the hills, and the Chai army behind him directly chased up. In the night, more than 20,000 soldiers and horses were concentrated in the small ferry hills, and more than 20,000 people were just to annihilate more than 2,000 remnants of Guan Sheng, which shows how much effort Chai Yonghao put into breaking one of Pang He's arms. The rebels chased very closely, and Guan Sheng, who was chasing, was out of breath, knowing that there was a large army in the rear to respond, but Guan Sheng was still worried about whether he would die here like this.

The rebels are advancing very smoothly, at least so far, they have not heard any unfavorable news, in the eyes of Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin, Guan Sheng is dead, and after dawn, they can carry Guan Sheng's head to Pang Hexian for a while. At the beginning of the first Fenglingdu battle, Guan Sheng caused endless trouble to the army, and getting rid of this person tonight was also a great boost to the morale of the army.

Countless rebels ran in the hills and forests, they were looking for the lone soldiers of the Dingguo Army in the night, suddenly, a series of cooing sounds, followed by many more torches in the mountains and forests. Subsequently, the battle situation in the hills and mountains changed dramatically, countless rebels were killed by the hidden soldiers of the Dingguo Army, and many soldiers of the Dingguo Army rushed out from the rear of the rebels. In order to win this victory and reverse the unfavorable situation during the day, Pang He used all the soldiers and horses he could use, plus he was prepared for a long time to wait for work, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army were alive and well. On the contrary, Chai Jin has Chai Yonghao's subordinates either rushed all the way to come, or urgently transferred back from the front line, most of them ran away, one by one exhausted, these people are okay to fight against the wind, once there is a headwind situation, but the morale will plummet.

Since they didn't know what the specific situation was, the rebel soldiers only knew that they had been ambushed, so they fled down the mountain one by one like frightened birds. The situation is changing too fast, Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin were still discussing how to celebrate for a while, and they will have to face the possibility of defeat at this time. Chai Yonghao swallowed his saliva, his throat continued to rise and fall, he was really unwilling, he ambushed well, but let Pang He plan to ambush him, did he do anything immoral, why was he so unlucky recently? Chai Jin didn't want to delay at all, and pulled Chai Yonghao's sleeve and said urgently, "General, withdraw, it's too late to withdraw." ”

Can you not withdraw? Now it's a man for the knife and I for the fish, if you don't run away, you have to be chopped into meat stuffing, a group of defeated soldiers fled south, Pang He led the troops to chase all the way out of ten miles before stopping, the ferry hills and hills, the Chai army was beaten to a mess, and the enemy soldiers were killed no less than 5,000 people along the way. Due to the great victory in the hills of the ferry, even the rebels who attacked the two flanks of the defense line at night also withdrew, and the Fengling Crossing defense line, which was held by the pants and pants, was also saved. The Dingguo army won a big victory, but the impact on the entire battle situation was not too great, as long as the rebels rested, they would still launch another onslaught tomorrow afternoon at the latest. However, in the first battle of the hills, the national army finally won some time, and the reinforcements prepared on the north bank also crossed the Yellow River at night, and after Xiao Yue's 20,000 reinforcements arrived on the south bank, they immediately filled the relatively weak defense line on both flanks. Chai Yonghao's own bitter fruit could only be swallowed by himself, but fortunately, the two lines of defense occupied during the day were still in his hands, and the Dingguo Army did not immediately launch a counterattack after receiving reinforcements.

In the Luojiapan command post of Zhongtiao Mountain, Chai Keyan patiently listened to last night's battle report, and she didn't seem to feel angry at Chai Yonghao for such a loss, it was not easy to lose 5,000 people when she encountered a ruthless person like Pang He. It's a good thing to have this defeat, Chai Yonghao can also know what it is outside the sky, there are people outside the sky, "The impact of last night's incident is not too great, although Pang He's treacherous plan succeeded, but our department also annihilated no less than 3,000 thieves, which is not a small breakthrough." According to the latest reliable news, Xiao Yue has led his troops into Fenglingdu, and the two flank positions we attacked before have been enriched a lot, and then we must think about how to deal with it. ”

"Queen Mother, there are no less than 20,000 people in Xiao Yue's department, and after Pang He's department is replenished, I am afraid that the average number of defense lines on the two wings will not be 15,000 people, which is a big trouble for us. If the Dingguo army launches a counterattack, we will rely on a strong defense line to strike a head-on blow! Chai Jin was the first to express his opinion, and after he finished speaking, many generals in the account nodded in agreement.

Chai Yonghao didn't speak for a long time, frowning and thinking. If you think that he hasn't come out of last night's defeat yet, then it's a big mistake, the reason why Chai Yonghao didn't speak for a long time is because he didn't agree too much with what Chai Jin said, "Queen Mother, the last general thinks it's really inappropriate to do this, the situation of the Dingguo Army is very different from our army, and they are not in a hurry to make a result at all." Chang'an has a lot of grain and grass, and the same state capital has a lot of baggage supplements, and the Dingguo Army can easily be transported to Fenglingdu as soon as it is needed, and the huge grain and grass baggage supports the Dingguo Army to garrison Fenglingdu for two years. But we can't do it, we have used troops on a large scale many times, and the baggage in the rear cannot be replenished, and if we continue to consume it like this, we will have to collapse ourselves without a fight in less than two months. Moreover, what the Dingguo Army wanted to hold most was the Fenglingdu Wharf in the north, and the defense line on the south bank was also built to delay our advance, so the last general dared to assert that the Dingguo Army would never launch a counterattack on the defense line that had been lost before. We hid behind and built a defensive line, waiting for the Dingguo army to come and fight, and it was very likely that it would be lost. Therefore, not only can the offensive not be stopped, but also have to increase its efforts, and all the soldiers and horses stationed in Fenglei Town and Shangzhou are put into the battle for the south bank, and taking the south bank defense line in the shortest possible time is what we need to do the most. ”

"What?" Many generals widened their eyes and expressed their surprise at Chai Yonghao's proposal, and even Chai Jin felt that Chai Yonghao's words were a bit long, and his ambition was ruined. The soldiers are not iron-clad, and if they attack in such turns, if they don't get enough rest, there will definitely be problems. However, Chai Keyan smiled, in fact, she was not much different from what Chai Yonghao thought, it was impossible to stop the attack at this time, if she stopped, I am afraid that the happiest person would be the group of people in the Dingguo Army. If there is a problem with the offense, then find a way to solve it, in short, stop, it is yourself who suffers.

"What? Do you think it's incredible? What the general said is very reasonable, do you know how much baggage is available in the army now? This queen clearly tells you that it will last for a month at most, and you don't have to count on Luoyang, Luoyang's baggage is also limited, so we have one month at most, more than a month, and at the end of September, if we can't beat Fenglingdu, we have to withdraw our troops anyway, what is the result of the army's food cutout, you can't know it, right? ”

Chai Keyan's words are somewhat appalling, in fact, the grain and grass in the army can still last for two months, but she doesn't want to delay it for so long, she must let the people under her command feel the pressure, otherwise she will attack and fight sloppily like before, and there is no hope for this battle to be fought in the end. After listening to Chai Keyan's narration, the generals showed a look of horror, and at this time they also knew why they were in a hurry to attack, "However, the Dingguo Army is heavily deployed, and we are going to attack strongly, and the cost is too great." ”

"Of course you know this, what you have to do is to attack the defense line on the south bank of Fenglingdu with all your might, and nail all the soldiers and horses of Pang He and Xiao Yue to the position, you don't have to worry about other things" Speaking of this, Chai Keyan's expression was cold, and he slowly swept over all the generals present, "The pro-soldiers of this rear will serve as the supervising team, if anyone dares to retreat, go up to Chai Yonghao, down to the man, and kill him." ”

As the words fell, a group of majestic men stood up in an uproar and said in unison, "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, we should do our best to capture Fenglingdu, fight a decisive battle with the enemy, and never die...... Never die......"

Chai Keyan finally nodded with satisfaction, the discussion was over, and the generals left one after another with solemn expressions, and in the end, only Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin were left as the two brothers of their own family. If there is no other way, just rely on a frontal attack, I'm afraid the gains will outweigh the losses. ”

"Well, do you two know about the Zhang family in Jinxi?" Chai Keyan asked with a smile, Chai Yonghao and Chai Jin looked at each other and nodded, "Is the Queen Mother talking about the family of Zhang Siwei, a big businessman in Jinxi?" Of course I've heard of it, but what does this have to do with the Zhang family? ”

"You, always put your eyes on the battlefield, war is just a means of game, and there is no way to do it, many times, we look elsewhere, we can get some unexpected receipts" Chai Keyan didn't want to hide from these two henchmen, and slowly narrated his connection with the Zhang family in Jinxi. In the late Tang Dynasty, the imperial court suppressed the Guanlong aristocracy, resulting in the decline of the traditional Wang, Dugu, and Yang families. The Zhang family in western Jin is one of the leaders, the Zhang family is mainly in the wine, medicinal materials, fur business, plus the acting court official salt, before and after 70 years, after three generations, it has become one of the best wealthy families in the northwest region, and it is Zhang Siwei who is the master of the house in this generation. The Zhang family was in the limelight in Hedong and Guanzhong, but all this changed with Zhao Yougong's entry into Chang'an that year. Zhao Yougong occupied Chang'an, and then brought the Zhu family's foundation to Guanzhong, you must know that the Zhu family's main business is medicinal materials and rice grain business, coupled with the Zhu family's good business network, it has a unique advantage in terms of cloth, not to mention that with Zhu Lian, the Zhu family has a huge impact on the traditional industry of the Zhang family.

If that's all it is, the most important thing is the brewing industry of Qin Wangfu, which has caused the Zhang family's wine to have no sales at all, and three years ago, Zhu Lian was an official document to cancel the exclusive agency of Zhang's official salt in the northwest, but he asked for the Zhang family's own life. In fact, Zhu Lian also considered the overall situation, the official salt was concentrated in the hands of a small number of businessmen, resulting in the price of salt not being controlled, and the flood of private salt was caused by the high price of official salt. Zhu Lian asked for the method of the future generations from His Royal Highness Zhao, a large number of agents, unified pricing, although the profit is less, but the private salt trade is cut off, and the agents can also supervise each other, and there will be no dominance of the family. Zhu Lian's measures are a good thing for the people of the northwest and even the Great Song Dynasty, but for the Zhang family, it is a fatal knife, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the rise of the Qin Wangfu has directly made the status of the Zhang family plummet, and to this day, except for some medicinal materials and furs, the Zhang family has no profitable business at all. There is a way to cut off people's wealth like killing their parents, and if the Zhang family wants to rise again, the first thing to bring down is the Qin Palace. Therefore, when Chai Keyan set his sights on the Zhang family, Zhang Siwei almost happily agreed.

The Zhang family is a businessman, how can there be any soldiers and horses, but the Zhang family has a ship. The Zhang family's business traverses east and west, from Liangzhou to Bianliang, such a big business would not have been possible without a huge fleet. And Chai Keyan also took a fancy to the Zhang family's boat, and wanted to cross the Yellow River, how could he do it without a boat. Originally, these boats were Chai Keyan's killer weapon, and they were prepared to cross the river and attack the north bank, but now the battle situation is trapped on the south bank, and this trick has to be used in advance.

Due to Chai Keyan's strict orders, the rebels gathered more than 60,000 people to launch a fierce attack on the south bank position, and under the crazy attack of the rebels regardless of casualties, Pang He and Xiao Yue were under great pressure, and the life of the front-line soldiers was also miserable. No one knew what medicine the rebels had taken, and this attack was much more fierce than before, one by one, fearlessly attacking the defensive line. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army guarded the last line of defense, and they had repelled the rebels countless times, but these people did not long retreat and pounced again. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army are bitter, and the rebels are also scolding their mothers, followed by a group of stern face warlords behind the buttocks, who dares to take a step back, directly drag it down and cut it down, until now, there is a general who has been cut down.

An urgent report was sent from the south bank to the north bank, and the entire Fenglingdu headquarters was full of busy atmosphere, Dongfang Jin had not closed his eyes for fourteen consecutive hours, and Zhao Yougong also had a pair of red eyes. Sanniang was afraid that Mu Niangzi would not take good care of her, so she returned to the headquarters from the front line early, looking at the urgent report sent by Pang He, she frowned and said, "The situation is too abnormal, it has only been four hours, and Pang He has already sent seven urgent reports, all of which say that the rebels are attacking fiercely and ask us to send reinforcements again." What's wrong with the rebels, if they continue to fight like this, even if they finally take the south bank defense line, the losses will be very serious. ”

Listening to Sanniang's words, Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong raised their heads at the same time, "What?" The South Shore has sent an urgent report again? Tsk, this is really weird, Pang He and Xiao Yue are both arrogant people, if it weren't for too much pressure, they would definitely not ask for reinforcements. ”

Knowing that Pang He and Xiao Yue were not the kind of people who were timid and afraid of things, Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong became extremely cautious, and the rebels' offensive was a little too abnormal. Chai Keyan should know that the real goal is to cross the north bank of Fengling, and now that the loss on the south bank is too serious, it will bring trouble to the future attack, such a simple truth, it is impossible for her not to understand. Zhao Yougong thought about it again and again, and said to Sanniang, "Go and find Tang Miao." ”

Tang Miao had been in charge of security matters in front, and when he heard Zhao Yougong looking for him, he hurriedly came to the command headquarters, Dongfang Jin replaced Zhao Yougong and asked straight to the point, "General Tang, how is the situation of the rebels' grain and grass?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Miao was a little surprised, he had already reported the details of the rebels' grain and grass, and he had reported it more than once, "Mr. Dongfang, what's wrong?" However, Tang repeatedly confirmed that the rebels' baggage was concentrated in Shangzhou and Hanguguan respectively, and if the rebels were saved, they would be able to support at least two months. ”

"Are you sure that the grain and grass can last for two months?" Dongfang Jin asked again with a serious expression, Tang Miao was a little embarrassed by the question, stood up straight and said loudly, "Mr. Dongfang, this information has been confirmed by the secret hall and the intelligence department, Tang dares to make a military order, if there is any accident, Tang voluntarily cut off his head." ”

Seeing Tang Miao's appearance, Zhao Yougong raised his hand and said, "Old Tang, why are you in a hurry, don't you mean that?" It's just that the stakes are big, and there have been strange things recently, so I have to confirm it again and again. ”

Tang Miao was sulking, but Dongfang Jin was worried about it, he didn't pay attention to Tang Miao at all, pulling his hair and talking to himself as if he was half crazy, "No, no, if the grain and grass can last for two months, the rebels can't attack in such a hurry, what's going on?" ”

Tang Miao was originally very unhappy, but seeing Dongfang Jin's appearance, she couldn't help but be a little worried, and seemed to see the doubts in Tang Miao's heart, Sanniang explained in a low voice, "You don't know, it's only been four hours, and seven urgent reports for help have been sent from the south bank. I think the rebels should attack like crazy, otherwise with the ability of the two generals Pang He and Xiao Yue, plus Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng and others, they would never be under so much pressure. ”

"Hey, there's such a thing?" Tang Miao couldn't help frowning secretly, he now somewhat understood why Dongfang Jin would repeatedly ask about the grain and grass. Seven consecutive emergency reports for help, what kind of duty were you forced to do this? I think the rebels are also desperate at all costs, but if it weren't for the knife on the neck, would the rebels need to do this? Could it really be that there is a problem with the grain and grass, but it is impossible, half an hour ago, the intelligence department and the dark hall jointly sent a letter, and there was nothing abnormal in Hanguguan and Shangzhou. It's not that the Intelligence Department and the Secret Hall have never thought about destroying the rebels' food and grass, but one is that the other side is tightly guarded, and the other is that the Intelligence Office has a limited number of personnel, so it is impossible to do such a big thing. After thinking for a long time, Tang Miao frowned and said, "Your Highness, your subordinates can be sure that there is no problem with the rebels' grain and grass, if there is an emergency, it can't be a problem with grain and grass, could it be that something happened in Luoyang?" ”

"No, if something big happens in Luoyang, the rebels should retreat to Shangzhou and Hangu Pass, and it is impossible to desperately attack the defense line on the south bank. Judging from the current situation, something must have happened! Dongfang Jin and Zhao Yougong are very sure of this, but they can't figure out what the problem is if they want to break their heads, and they don't know the intentions of the Chai clan, so it is naturally impossible to easily mobilize troops and horses to the south bank to help, after all, the north bank is the top priority of defense.

The Yellow River is surging, the turbid water is accompanied by the momentum of the earth-shattering waves, and when the evening comes, when the sunset slowly sinks, a huge fleet of ships appears in the southeast of the Fengling Ferry. Maybe this fleet is nothing compared to the Dingguo Army and the Navy, but in this Guanzhong Yellow River area, it is definitely an amazing skill. This is the fleet of the Zhang family across the Yellow River, but now it is not loaded with goods connecting the north and south, but a boatload of soldiers and horses. Chai Keyan stood on the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the dim flowing clouds in the sky, and soon after, this surprise would definitely make Zhao Ling unable to sleep. How many times have I dreamed at night, I hope that this man will be obediently by my side, and when he wakes up, he will laugh at himself, if even Zhao Ling can stay obediently, then he is not Zhao Ling. The south wind blows, it is warm, the summer in the northwest land is like this, except for the rain can bring the meaning of moisture, the rest of the time, let you east and west, north and south wind, bring dry heat. The wind doesn't stop, the boat is moving, the place Chai Keyan wants to go is the big camp on the south bank, with 5,000 soldiers and horses in her hands, she has 100,000 confidence that she can turn Pang He's rear upside down, as long as Pang He's grain and grass are occupied, what else is there to be afraid of this Dingguo army? The Dingguo Army is strong, but if there is no food, what is the difference between them and ordinary people?

thought that when night came, the rebels' offensive would be weak, but to Pang He's disappointment, the rebels showed no signs of stopping the attack at all, and the most important thing was that the north bank did not send a single soldier, and some only defended. An order is an order, and Pang He and Xiao Yue can't and dare not blame Zhao Yougong, because they also know Zhao Yougong's difficulties. The battle ahead was urgent, Pang He and Xiao Yue couldn't wait to kill the enemy in person, let alone others, at this time, all the soldiers and horses pounced, and there was not even a little reserve left, that's it, the pressure was still very high. Hu Yanzhuo's Eastern Front has fallen no less than five times, and in repeated battles, both sides have suffered heavy casualties.

When night came, the huge fleet finally docked on the shore unexpectedly, Chai Keyan was dressed in military uniform, holding a sword, and his expression was solemn and majestic, "Chai Jin, send people ashore, after entering the camp, first take the rear grain depot, and then divide the troops and horses to attack the eastern defense area." Be sure to take the eastern defense area within half an hour and squeeze the main force of the thief army to the west. ”

"Yes" Chai Jin's tone was full of excitement, at this moment he seemed to see victory, and saw how the Dingguo army in front of the army fled in a hurry.

More than 5,000 Chai soldiers entered the camp of the Dingguo Army from the bank of the Yellow River under the leadership of Chai Jin, and the night was shrouded, coupled with the tight battle ahead, there was no one to defend the rear camp at all, that is, there were more than 200 people holding on to the baggage warehouse. Chai Jin commanded the troops to go ashore easily, and broke through from the rear to a range of dozens of zhang of the camp without encountering any decent resistance at all, and those sporadic obstacles, except for increasing casualties, did not bring any damage to Chai's soldiers and horses. The alarm of the enemy attack finally sounded, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army stationed in the warehouse first became nervous, because the sound of fighting was already very close to the warehouse. No one knows how the rebels came ashore and appeared in the rear of the army, but everyone knows that the first target of the rebels must be grain and grass.

Chai Jin carried a bloody sword, and he didn't know how many Dingguo Army's resistance was defeated along the way, and his goal was very clear, that is, to take down the grain and grass of the Dingguo Army in one fell swoop. At this time, there was a commotion in the camp, and the soldiers who were still stationed in the camp had taken the initiative to assemble, Fan Wenyuan was busy feeding the horses, as soon as he heard a movement from the west, he threw a dustpan, found a knife and rushed out, and saw the soldiers who were coaxing outside, raised his hands and shouted, "The rebels must attack the granary, brothers, come with me to the granary, and the rebels must not be allowed to take away the grain and grass." ”

In fact, there is no need for Fan Wenyuan to shout, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army who have freed up their hands have already taken the initiative to run to the grain and grass, they all know the importance of grain and grass, if the granary is taken by the rebels, what to eat and drink in the future, do you expect the brothers in the north to cross the Yellow River to send food to eat? Fan Wenyuan was sweating profusely, he observed the situation in the granary while running, and as time passed, his heart slowly sank. At this time, Fan Wenyuan looked forward to a fire on the side of the granary, if the rebels burned the granary, then there was still hope, but the granary has not been on fire. Burning grain and grass is a common method, and the rebels do not set fire, so there is only one reason, they have many soldiers and horses, and they have enough confidence to take and hold the granary, how many people did the rebels come? The granary is probably more auspicious, but Fan Wenyuan still rushed over with people stuffy, not far from the granary, and encountered a group of defeated remnants, who all found Fan Wenyuan, and said with a snort, "General Fan, a large number of rebels went to the granary, and the brothers wanted to save it, but they were outnumbered, there were too many rebels, and the granary may not be able to be saved." ”

"Shut up, how many people can stand up, rush over with Ben, and be sure to snatch the granary back!" How important the granary is, Fan Wenyuan knows better than anyone else in his heart. Eighty percent of the more than 60,000 soldiers on the entire south bank eat and drink in the Dongdaying granary, and if the Dongdaying granary falls, the soldiers on the south bank will immediately fall into a situation where there is no food to eat. There are no rations, how can this southern bank defense line be defended, no matter how powerful the soldiers are, without food, it is impossible to continue fighting hungry. Now Fan Wenyuan has gathered more than 300 soldiers, although the number is small, but for the current battalion, it is not easy to gather so many people in a short period of time. When they rushed to the granary, a group of people came to the west, and it turned out to be a group of soldiers from the wounded barracks. After learning that the granary of Dongdaying was attacked by the rebels, the wounded battalion spontaneously organized, and some lightly wounded soldiers gave up their injuries and took up arms and rushed over. At this time, it has reached the most critical juncture, as long as you can take up arms, you should go to support the granary. Everyone knows the situation in the camp too well, because the rebels exerted strong pressure on the front line, causing all the soldiers and horses in the battalion to be put into the front line, the rebels killed from the rear, there were no soldiers in the battalion to defend, and the front-line soldiers could not withdraw for a while, even if they returned to the camp as quickly as possible, it would be an hour later, and an hour was enough for the rebels to do a lot of things.

Seeing so many wounded soldiers rushing over to support, Fan Wenyuan, an iron-clad man, couldn't help but be a little moved, he didn't say anything, waved his hand and motioned the brothers to continue advancing towards the granary. Finally, they encountered the rebels on the periphery of the granary, and these rebels numbered as many as 500 people, and temporarily set up a defensive line, apparently to prevent the Dingguo army from supporting the granary. Raising the steel knife, Fan Wenyuan roared angrily, "Brothers, for the safety of the front-line soldiers, we must keep the granary, everyone follow me!" ”

Fan Wenyuan was the first to rush forward, but fortunately, the rebels did not bring many heavy arrows due to their haste of coming, so Fan Wenyuan and the others were not taken care of by the other party's bow and arrows, but the attack was not smooth. The rebels had already responded, so they guarded the narrow aisle, not seeking to quickly repel Fan Wenyuan, but only trying their best to hold back. Dozens of shields blocked the front, and the rebels did not retreat, and the situation was stalemate for a while. Fan Wenyuan was very anxious, he knew that this kind of situation would not be beneficial to the Dingguo army at all, although it was dozens of zhang away, but he could clearly hear the sound of fighting coming from the granary, and it was obvious that the rebels had attacked the granary.

The granary of Dongdaying has become a devil's hell at this time, and the tragedy of the battle is far beyond Fan Wenyuan's imagination. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army knew the importance of the granary, so they all blocked the door of the granary and fought to the death. However, Chai Jin was well prepared, and the two crashing trees cooperated with each other, and finally stepped on the wooden gate, and when the granary gate was destroyed, the commander of the granary, Hagelun, ordered to retreat to the fence outside the gate five zhang to defend. Near the fence, more than 200 soldiers of the Dingguo Army bravely and fearlessly blocked the crazy attack of the rebels, they had the body to resist countless knives and guns, one fell, the other made up, Chai Jin was already shocked by the Dingguo Army in front of him, how did these soldiers who were not afraid of death exercise? There were more than 200 people, but it dragged on for half an hour, which was really terrifying. Chai Jin's ferocity was also slowly aroused, in the end, Chai Jin is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and his body has the character of a Jianghu person, seeing that he couldn't attack it for a long time, he scolded with a knife, "A group of waste, so many people can't take that bit of thieves for so long, it's really a shame." Huan Zhang, the people who led you up with me, Lao Tzu wants to see if these thieves have three heads and six arms? ”

In fact, the rebels can't be blamed for not being able to attack for a long time, the terrain in front of the granary fence is narrow, and it can't give full play to the advantage of troops at all, plus Hagellan's bloody battle, so he persevered. Chai Jin personally led the troops into the granary, and led the pro-army team composed of Jianghu people under his command to pounce, and the situation was suddenly reversed. Hagelen was seriously injured and fell, and no one could command the defense, Fan Wenyuan's soldiers and horses were dragged outside again, and the defense line that the granary defenders had worked so hard to support was broken through in an instant.
