The performance of this time, which has been not very favorable, has been not very optimistic** but this time the performance is very outstanding, these years** since the re-surrender to the Song court, and Peng Yibin and the Flying Tiger Army as his close support, he also made up his mind, no longer wavering, this time the Mongolian army went south, he personally sat in Cangzhou, although Polu sent a force to attack Cangzhou, but concentrated all the elite divisions under his command, in Cangzhou and the Mongolian army actually fought a lot, although the casualties were very heavy, However, it also successfully prevented the Mongol army from invading Dezhou, blocking the eastern flank for Peng Yibin, and also guarding the gate of Shandong.

This battle played the prestige of the ** army, so that ** in Jingdong also became famous, which is inseparable from the original Flying Tiger Army will give Qingzhou to **, Qingzhou soldiers have been very strong since ancient times, ** The main force in the army has been replaced by Qingzhou soldiers in recent years, and imitated the Flying Tiger Army, and gradually established their own supply system, although the quality of equipment is not as powerful as the Flying Tiger Army, but compared to Peng Yibin's soldiers and horses, it is okay, the battle of Cangzhou lasted for more than ten days, and the Mongols saw that they could not break through Cangzhou, so they took the initiative to shrink back, Joined the siege of Jizhou.

At this point, the situation in Jingdong became chaotic, and various forces took advantage of this opportunity to begin to choose their own future paths, and after the news of the Mongolian army being blocked in Jizhou spread, the morale of the military and civilians in the entire Shandong area gradually rose, and the people's hearts fell to the side of the Southern Song Dynasty, making Li Quan even more isolated.

Li Quan lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot, when the news was not announced, some people remembered that he was also from the Red Jacket Army, although he did something wrong, but the Song Dynasty also had mistakes at the beginning, and Li Quan could not be blamed for everything, but as soon as he announced that he had defected to the Mongols, although the Mongolian army was incomparably strong, the hearts of the people no longer sympathized with Li Quan, and even the attitude of some of the generals under his command became negative, which made Li Quan very unhappy.

Fortunately, Li Quan's wife Yang Miaozhen still had some prestige in the army, and she personally came forward to persuade some of Li Quan's subordinate generals, so that they could obey Li Quan's orders again and actively participate in the preparation for Chuzhou.

Chuzhou is an important military town of Jianghuai, previously undertook the important task of defending against the invasion of the Jin State, so after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, it made great efforts to operate the city of Chuzhou, where there have been many fierce battles with the Jin army, the city in the Southern Song Dynasty nearly a hundred years of repair, compared with the general state city is much stronger, and the water network in the territory is dense, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, it is the place where the soldiers of the Song and Jin countries must fight over these years, and Li Quan in these years of operation, Chuzhou was robbed from the hands of the Song court by various means, and became his main territory. This is also a reason why Zhao Yun agreed to Gao Huaiyuan to send troops to destroy Li Quan this time, and the Chuzhou issue is also an important reason why the imperial court is worried about it.

When Gao Huaiyuan led the army out of Baoying County and approached Chuzhou, between Hongze Lake and Baima Lake, Huang Yan's Zhongshun army finally exchanged fire with Li Quanjun, and when the Zhongshun army crossed the river and advanced to Chuzhou, their actions were also known by Li Quanjun, and it turned out that Chen was stationed in Renhe Town and planned to attack Yangzhou, a Li Quanjun army set up a defense line in Renhe Town, intending to block the Zhongshun Army in the southwest of Renhe Town.

This Li Quan's army is also more than 10,000 people, is led by a person called Yu Tan under Li Quan, and Yu Tan is also the first to raise troops in Jingdong to resist the general of the Red Jacket Army, in the early years, this person was a blacksmith, Kong Wu was powerful, and soon after the army was under the command of Li Quan, he was also a guy who had been marching and fighting for many years, unlike others, Li Quan was kind to this Yu Tan, Yu Tan was very loyal to Li Quan, so he was also a confidant under Li Quan, otherwise, Li Quan won't let him lead the troops alone and Chen will be stationed in Renhe Town!

When Yu Tan learned that the Song army crossed the river and planned to enter Chuzhou from the flank of Chuzhou, he did not dare to slack off for a moment, and immediately led the army to set up a defensive line in Renhe Town, intending to use the small river outside Renhe Town as a natural barrier to prevent the Song army from continuing to advance, and Renhe Town is a necessary place for Huang Yan to go north to Chuzhou, only by breaking through here, can the road to Chuzhou be opened, otherwise, he will not be able to achieve the goal of joining Gao Huaiyuan under the city of Chuzhou, the bigger problem is to leave a Li Quan's army, which will threaten the flank of Gao Huaiyuan's main army, If you are not careful, this Li Quan's army may cut off the supply roads between Gao Huaiyuan's main force and the rear of Baoying County.

After Huang Yan led his troops across the river, he quickly arrived at the south bank of the small river southwest of Renhe Town, where he formed a confrontation with the soldiers and horses under Yu Tan's command.

Huang Yan personally inspected the local terrain along the small river, which is an important grain-producing place in the area of Hongze Lake, with all kinds of water and drought fertile land of more than 10,000 acres, and the terrain is flat and low-lying, but fortunately this season has not yet entered the rainy season, and the ground is still very dry in many places, which is more conducive to the deployment of cavalry.

Yu Tan mainly relied on this nameless river outside Renhe Town, Chen soldiers on the north bank of the river, and built a lot of fortifications, along the river bank, it is three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, made up his mind here to attack the Song army in the middle of the crossing, and then drove the Song army back to Yangzhou City.

After looking at the entire front, Huang Yan had an idea in his heart, now Huang Yan can grow into the chief general of the Zhongshun Army, and he can lead more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under his command, which is mixed up with real skills, he used to fight dozens of battles with the Jin Army in Zaoyang, compared to Yu Tanlai across the river, he is not inferior to him in combat experience, and Huang Yan's biggest advantage is not only in martial arts and combat experience, the most important thing is that he has systematically followed Gao Huaiyuan and Meng Hui, He has learned a lot of military books and war strategies, and in terms of grasping the situation on the battlefield, even among the generals of the entire Southern Song Dynasty, he can be regarded as a person in the forefront, not to mention that the soldiers of the Zhongshun Army under his command have experienced many cruel war experiences with the Jin army, and they are not afraid to go into battle to kill the enemy, and this battle gives Huang Yan a full advantage.

After seeing the enemy's deployment and the local terrain, Huang Yan immediately summoned his generals and began to make arrangements, and the day after he led his troops to the south of Renhe Town, the Song army began to move.

The river seems to be an effective line of defense for the enemy, but in this season, the river is in a dry period, the depth of the water is very limited, and it cannot effectively prevent the Zhongshun army from crossing the river, Huang Yan took this point, he personally sat in front of the formation, and ordered his generals to prepare a log or plank each, as soon as the war drum sounded, the whole army began to attack, and each soldier carried something like wood or plank, sandbag, etc., and rushed to the river, and threw these things into the river.

One man probably didn't play much of a role, but seven or eight thousand people threw debris into the river together, so the amount of work was considerable, and the officers and men of the loyal army were ordered to evacuate the river bank as soon as they dropped something, so the whole army ran to the river, dropped what they left and turned around and left, and in a short time a section of the river was filled and blocked.

The speed of the Song army's action was very fast, and Yu Tan arranged his soldiers and horses along the river, so that the soldiers and horses under his command became loose, and he had to do this as a last resort, because he could not predict in advance where the Song army would choose to cross the river, so he would arrange it this way, if he took the offensive, he could gather troops to fight with the Song army, but because of the news of the continuous defeats of Li Quanjun's army during this time, Yu Tan was a little worried that he was not the opponent of the Song army, and did not dare to cross the river to meet the Zhongshun army. In that case, he was afraid that a battle against him would be unfavorable, and as a result, his forces would be very scattered.

When the Song army suddenly assembled to adopt such a breakthrough method, although Yu Tan quickly led his troops to the place where the Song army filled the river, it was already a little late, so he had to lead the troops to occupy the north bank of the river, while releasing arrows to prevent the Song army from filling the river, and at the same time arranging a defensive line to try to prevent the Song army from crossing the river.

Huang Yan was the first large-scale battle he commanded in Huaidong, so after he saw that the soldiers had paved a fairly wide passage, he immediately held a large steel spear in his hand, led a thousand soldiers to shout violently, and took the lead towards the other side of the river.

Although the quality of the equipment of the Zhongshun Army is not as good as that of the troops in front of the palace, but this time after they arrived in Zhenjiang Mansion, Gao Huaiyuan pretended to be public and private, and transferred a lot of armor to Huang Yan from the armory of Zhenjiang Mansion, so that the quality of his equipment of the Zhongshun Army has been greatly improved, and after he led the troops to Yangzhou, Huang Yan had to go to meet Gao Jian, Gao Jian now regards Huang Yan as his own family, and treats him as a nephew, and he supports him without hesitation A batch of armor, which has greatly improved the quality of the equipment of the Zhongshun Army. Gao Huaiyuan, father and son, can be regarded as arming the loyal army to the teeth, and now the 1,000 traps led by Huang Yan are all in iron armor and very well-equipped.

When Huang Yan led his troops to launch a fierce attack, his crossbowmen immediately pressed onto the river embankment and used their bows and crossbows to support Huang Yan's breakthrough action.

What's even more strange is the equipment of the soldiers led by Huang Yan, each of them has a huge round wooden tire leather shield that can cover most of the body in his left hand, a short-handled shuttle gun more than six feet long in his right hand, and three short-handled shuttle guns on his back, and a talisman short knife on his waist, such equipment is very different from the common Song army equipment, but the power of combat is also greatly beyond that of ordinary Song troops.
