Hao Ren had just defeated Wansheng's soldiers and horses, and had already received the news that Chang Yuchun had encountered Ming Yuzhen in Yizhou, and he was overjoyed, leaving all the firearms and baggage in Jingzhou, and the whole army was lightly armed and marched to Yizhou at full speed, hoping to completely defeat Ming Yuzhen before Ming Yuzhen entered the plank road. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Ming Yuzhen is worthy of being a fierce general with heavy pupils, and he is extremely brave, and he has broken Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai in two formations. Once Ming Yuzhen returns to Bashu, no matter how many remnants of soldiers and horses he has, with the steepness of Bashu and the courage of Ming Yuzhen, it will be very difficult for the Song army to eliminate Ming Yuzhen.

Ming Yuzhen, who was in Yizhou, did not get the news of Wansheng, and was attacked by the Song army, knowing that the big thing was not good, the Song army had already attacked and killed, for fear that he would be defended by the Song army, where could he take care of the captive population? Even a should be abandoned, the land and water army lightly armed, full speed to the land of Bashu back to the army.

And Chang Yuchun and Hu Dahai, with the support of Yu Tonghe's soldiers and horses, the military prestige was restored, and the two armies were like dog skin plasters, biting Ming Yuzhen tightly and chasing after them.

Ming Yuzhen and his bravery, let the infantry go first, and personally led the most elite tiger cavalry in Great Xia to be responsible for the rear of the palace, if the Song army rushed into a safe distance, they would lead the soldiers and horses back to the army to kill.

The cavalry horsepower of Chang Yuchun and Yu Tonghe has not been fully recovered, and they are not capable of defeating Ming Yuzhen and their elite tiger battalions, but they only rely on the advantage of the enemy's infantry to slow down the return of the Xia army as much as possible.

Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai, and Yu Tonghe all understood that this was not the opportunity for a decisive battle with the Xia army, and the three of them had already made a plan.

Yu Tonghe's elite cavalry, each prepared two war horses, walked the mountain path, and the Marcelle people did not rest, and rushed to the rear of the Xia army at full speed, striving to burn down the plank road into Bashu before Ming Yuzhen entered the plank road.

Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai's two armies sailed upstream, along the Yangtze River, large and small warships, all powered by waterwheels, although they were going upstream, but they were marching like flying.

When the east wind was blowing, the navy and the Jiangfang army hung up three cloud sails, which provided full power for the Great Song Dynasty naval army.

"Haha!" Yu Tonghai said proudly to Wu Liuqi: "Even if Ming Yuzhen escapes by luck, I'm afraid that when he rushes back to Yudu, our navy will already occupy his lair!" ”

"Governor Yu Du Hugh should be careless, the lord ordered us to chase and annihilate the navy of Great Xia, Ming Yuzhen is in a hurry to retreat, maybe it is on the warship? If we kill Ming Yuzhen in the river, then Chongqing will inevitably be conquered by us, and the titles above your brothers' heads are ready to be greatly improved! If we can't catch up with the enemy's naval army, Ming Yuzhen has the opportunity to return to Bashu to rectify military affairs, and if I want to break Bashu again, I'm afraid we will have to wait for the time! Wu Liu Qi said.

The terrain of Bashu is steep, and Ming Yuzhen has accumulated prestige in the land of Bashu for a long time with his bravery, if Ming Yuzhen returns to Bashu, only the monarch of Daxia can also want Chen Youliang to die early, when the military heart is unstable, the Song army can enter Bashu.

"Brother Wu, with the sharp weapons of the navy and the help of the east wind, this is a great achievement from heaven and you and me, the Great Xia Navy will definitely be able to catch up!" Yu Tonghai said proudly: "Order the sailors, go at full speed, and be sure to chase and annihilate the Great Xia Naval Army!" ”

Kongyu Beach is the "crown of dangerous beaches" in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. The reef in the beach is dense, the exposed river surface is like a stone forest, and the channel is curved and narrow.

Yu Tonghai and Wu Liuqi knew that they had arrived in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the big ships were no longer passable, so they could only leave all the sea ships in the river and leave the army to guard the warships.

On both sides of the Three Gorges, the mountains stand tall and the scenery is beautiful, and it has always been written by literati and writers.

On the north bank of the Yangtze River, there is a stack of well-layered rocks, which looks like a pile of thick books, and there is a thick stone pillar pointing vertically to the middle of the river, just like a sword, the legend is the place where Zhuge Liang stores the book of war and the sword, here is the sword gorge of the book of soldiers where the Xiling Gorge in the Three Gorges is located.

It was in this place that Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai joined forces and finally caught up with the navy of Great Xia.

Great Xia is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the navigable waters are only in the east of the White Emperor City, and the water level in the river is low, the big ships cannot pass, the navy of Great Xia is far less powerful than his horse army, and the significance of existence is more important to transport troops.

The so-called Great Xia Navy is actually only one or two thousand flat-bottomed river boats, even if the Song army has abandoned the sea ships, it is still not as powerful as the Song army's building ships and ships, nor as flexible as the Song army's flying boats, and it is not equipped with artillery, only a small number of catapults.

The dignified Great Xia Navy is just like this, and it can't be compared with the Han Navy that was wiped out two years ago, even compared with the Song Army's warp, it is obviously the difference between the Central Army and the bandits.

Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai were both disappointed because their opponents were too weak, and their emotions were far greater than the excitement of catching up with the enemy.

The Xia army fought very bravely! It can only be described as brave! After all, the difference in strength is too great.

Wu Liuqi took the fleet as the vanguard and used artillery to assist the attack.

The drums of war are filled, the trumpets are whimpering, the cannons are rumbling, and the crossbow arrows are bursting through the air.

The battleship has sharp edges and corners at the front end, and the battleship guns fire the first time, and the battleship comes with a cleaved wave, and a muffled sound of "bang" has smashed a flat-bottomed river boat.

The deck of the battleship is much higher than the flat-bottomed river, the Song army stands on the deck, the archers shoot into the distance, and the earth-shaking thunder hand will ignite the earth-shaking thunder with glue and throw it at the nearby riverboats, turning the nearby riverboats into sawdust.

This is a war of great disparity in strength, a war of firearms against cold weapons, and a war of strong ships and cannons against the sampans of fishing boats.

Not long after the battle, several warships had broken through the enemy's military formation, split the river to divide the enemy into two sections, and the battle was over, the river was completely red, the floating corpses blocked the river, and the Xia army had exhausted the water army of 10,000 people, some of them were annihilated, some of them were avatars, and a small part of them abandoned the ship, etc., and they were trapped in the deep mountains without a trace.

Qutang Gorge, eight miles long from east to west, both sides are mountains, if you cross Qutang Gorge, you can go deep into Bashu, arrive at the White Emperor City, abandon the ship and go ashore, you can go straight to the old nest of Daxia Yudu.

It is the long and narrow waterway of these eight miles, the Great Song Dynasty naval army can not break through, and in order to defend the capital, there are heavy troops here. On the peaks on both sides of the river, crossbowmen stained with Great Xia, catapults threw boulders and fierce fire oil, blocking the not wide river.

Wu Liuqi and Yu Tonghai's plan to attack the capital of Chongqing could only be shelved for the time being, and they sent their naval troops to land and compete with Daxia for the high ground on both sides of Qutang Gorge, in order to break through the enemy's defense line in Qutang Gorge, penetrate deep into Bashu, and break through the enemy's capital.

For a time, the cannon of the Song army rumbled, feinting to attack the mountain peak, and the boulder on the top of the mountain rolled down, and the Song and Xia armies launched a desperate attack on each other in order to compete for the waterway of Qutang Gorge.
