Standing on a large rock in the forest, a fire dragon was moving rapidly on the winding mountain road in the distance. Ye Yingwu took a breath of cool air lightly, the elite under Liu Quan's command really lived up to its reputation, and the attack on the sailor was actually only about an hour, and the Ma Bu army twenty or thirty miles away had already advanced to the left of the Zishui camp.

What Ye Yingwu is standing on now is the outpost guarded by the Mongolian Marquis Yu, who was nicknamed Old Oil Head and didn't even have a big name left, but the simple fence at that time has been replaced by piles of thick trees, and hundreds of foot soldiers are still cutting down trees near the cliff, one is to clean up the bow and crossbow firing boundary, and the other is to pile the bunker higher.

This cliff is already the highest place overlooking Zishui nearby, as long as Liu Quan's corporal can't attack it, the two Huaishui divisions can calmly meet the Zishui division, and after the few remaining warships are strangled, these horse infantry soldiers gathered under the cliff will be covered by the bows and crossbows and arrows of the two Huaishui divisions.

Zhang Shijie also knew that with the Jinyi Guard under Ye Yingwu's command, it was naturally impossible to resist the attack of three thousand elite soldiers, so the Luzhou soldiers who were on the ship at the beginning and more than a hundred soldiers from the hundred battles had already rushed over, and in the battle just now, these soldiers did not lose much, so there were still one hundred and sixty or seventy people, and so many people could be lined up on this small cliff.

And in a farther place, a hundred battles are in front, Liu Xiong's troops are behind, and he is desperately rushing to this side, of course, Liu Xiong did not forget to send hundreds of people to copy from the back of Liu Cheng's 3,000 troops, and it is precisely because of the countless suspicious soldiers before and after that it is more and more difficult for Liu Cheng's 3,000 soldiers to go in this direction.

The flames on the water have gradually dissipated, and the warships that have been wantonly burned by the fire are scattered and scattered on the river, and more have crashed into the cliffs, and at some point they have been broken into countless pieces, down the river, and there is no trace of them.

Most of the larger ships have been stranded on the river beach, like the corpses of one huge monster after another, and sporadic sparks upstream are jumping on the wreckage of the warship, but it is estimated that it will be extinguished in less than a single cup of tea.

Although Zhang Shijie knew that the two Huai Shui Divisions could easily defeat the Zishui Naval Divisions in front of him with the aftermath of the war, he still didn't dare to be careless. The remaining ships of the Zishui Naval Division dared to come south, mainly relying on the geographical advantages here, once the top of the cliff was captured and the arrows swept down, the two Huaishui Divisions naturally couldn't eat and walk.

Although Zhang Shijie knew that Ye Yingwu would definitely be able to hold it, but this could only be said to be a kind of trust from the heart, as a person who was quite cautious by nature, he had to consider another possibility of not being able to hold it, so the warships of the two Huaishui divisions began to adjust slowly, and even some of the wounded warships directly added the onboard sailors to the cliff defenders, and then turned around and returned to Luzhou, and the more than ten warships left behind in Luzhou were also on their way north.

The smoke and dust ahead had not yet cleared, and the air was filled with the smell of burning. The night grew darker, and as the flames were extinguished, the battlefield darkened again, and by the moonlight only the white droplets of water could be seen lapping against the cliffs or the sides of the ships.

Regardless of success or failure on the cliff, this battle of capital and water must make Liu unforgettable.

Dozens of large and small warships slowly lined up in formation under the cliff, several building ships in the forefront, the bed crossbows on the side of the ship were all aimed in the distance, as long as there was a faint black shadow, they would burst out the most deadly blow, and more small warships were waiting in the cracks of the building ships, when the tiger-like building ships let out an earth-shattering roar, these vicious wolves would rush up and tear everything to pieces.

And at the rear, there were a few warships retreating slightly, and the divine arm crossbow and bed crossbow on the ship were all aimed at the cliff, if Ye Yingwu really couldn't hold the cliff, then these warships were responsible for temporarily covering the entire cliff with bows and crossbows to cover the retreat of the fleet in front.

The sound of horses' hooves gradually came from afar, and Zhang Shijie gritted his teeth and stared at the river in front of him.

The light signal changed, and several warships had already crossed out, and once again sailed into the battlefield just now, and the warships that had just been burned down were all black, almost hidden and dark. And these warships have also extinguished their lights, and slowly move forward with the river.

The sound of horses' hooves shattered, and hundreds of cavalry led by Liu Cheng turned out of the road not far away, looking at the camp where only Mars was beating in front of him, the leading centurion shouted violently, and a group of cavalry grabbed the reins of the horse, and more than ten cavalrymen once again urged the war horses and rushed straight into the camp.

There was silence, save for the faint sound of the last tent where the flames burned.

However, in an instant, the Song army who were busy on the cliff not far away attracted their attention, but they also knew that it was impossible to attack with hundreds of cavalry, and they could only be tortured and killed by others from top to bottom in vain.

"Hold this place and see if there are any surviving sons!" The centurion made the clearest decision seemingly. The bend of the river where the camp is located is a gentle slope, and it is difficult to threaten the soldiers stationed here from the cliff.

It's just that they quickly paid the price for this decision.

Those few Song warships hidden in the darkness fired their bows and crossbows in unison! And among the arrows in the sky, there was also the low roar of the assault rifle!

The dozens of cavalrymen who had just ridden to the shore of Zishui were torn to shreds almost instantly. And more cavalry also screamed and retreated, and of course there were also brave men, who rode their horses to dodge, and at the same time did not forget to bend their bows and arrows to shoot at the scattered fire in the dense fire.

The Mongolian centurion took a breath softly, and I have to say that the choice of this camp is really unique. If the enemy occupies the cliff, there is no way to rely on the gentle slope to inflict too much damage on the camp; And if it is a direct breakthrough by land, the sailors on the water can immediately drown it with arrows; As for attacking from the water, then the soldiers left behind on land can be condescendingly defended from the cliffs, so that the opposing sailors have to guard against arrows falling from the sky.

It's just that such a dangerous camp has been sneak attacked, and all the key points around it have been occupied by this cold Song army!

Although the Song army on this cliff looks like there are only more than 100 people, as long as they can't solve the Song army sailors on the water, then they can only watch them show off their might on that cliff. The centurion sighed secretly, in such a situation, the best way to solve it is to hold back this breath and find another opportunity to break this Song army.

But can Liu Cheng endure it? In this troubled world, I am afraid that it will be unbearable for anyone to change, after all, this is the sailor who accompanied Liu Cheng to start a family, after all, Liu Cheng has been repeatedly framed by Jia Yidao, and he has hated the Southern Song Dynasty to the core, and it is not easy to endure every day, and now this is obviously the fuse that ignites the powder keg!

The centurion gathered the somewhat chaotic horse team and slowly retreated, while secretly praying that the self-appointed commander would not have his brain so hot that his cavalry would also charge with the footmen.

In this kung fu, the infantry brigades behind have arrived one after another, and the one who commands these 3,000 soldiers is Liu Yuanli, a beloved general under Liu Cheng. Liu Yuanli can also be regarded as a rare fierce general.

This person is the fifth son of Liu Heima, the military and civilian envoy of Chengdu Road when Liu Chuan surrendered to Mongolia, when Liu Chuan surrendered, only Liu Heima and Liu Yuanli's brother Liu Yuanzhen father and son insisted that Liu Chuan was sincerely surrendered, and wrote to Kublai Khan to entrust Luzhou, Tongchuan and other key places, so later Liu Heima's son Liu Yuanli obeyed Liu Quan's account, and Liu Cheng also entrusted him with many important tasks in order to repay his kindness.

And Liu Yuanli did live up to the trust, in the first year of Xianchun, that is, last year, the Southern Song Dynasty Sichuan system made Xia Gui lead the army of 50,000 to attack Tongchuan, and Liu Zhengzheng led the army to advance into Xichuan, so Liu Yuanli led only thousands of old and weak people who stayed in Tongchuan, but in this war of disparity in strength, Liu Yuanli fought hard to defend, and even retreated Xia Gui to Pengxi Village, this is not counting, this fierce general took the lead again, shouting "For the enemy, the city cannot be entered, Tongchuan is not owned by the state!" Where would Xia Gui and his soldiers would have thought that a northerner Han led thousands of old and weak people would be able to fight with such power, and the army collapsed immediately, and Liu Yuanli led the army to behead 10,000 people.

For Xia Gui, this is definitely a great shame; As for Liu Yuanli, he established his position under Liu Quan, and indeed did not live up to Liu Quan.

Riding forward, the Mongolian general quietly looked at the mountain cliff not far away, there were dots of fire on the cliff, and in that light, a red flag danced in the wind, and the color of the red was dazzling, as if it was dyed with the blood of countless water masters.

"I can't do it." Liu Yuanli snorted coldly, "Do you think that with just a few water masters and more than 100 people, you can treat someone as here?" ”

Without Liu Yuanli's orders, hundreds of soldiers had already entered the camp at a rapid pace, and in the process of running, they still did not forget to pull the trigger of the bow and crossbow in their hands. Dense arrows roared to cover the wreckage of large and small warships in front of them, and the Song warships hidden in the wreckage of the warships were also caught off guard, and the Song soldiers walking back and forth on the board fell to the ground screaming. And because there was a warship wreck in front of them, the Song army sailors couldn't see the Mongolian soldiers who were hunched over and a little low.

"Divine Arm Crossbow, Shoot!" Actually being pressed and beaten like this, Du Yuhou, who commanded the Song army's warships, also became angry, and the sailors on several warships hurriedly raised rattan cards to block the densely thrown arrows, and the crossbowmen then shot quickly from the gaps in the shields.

After all, there are only a few warships of the Song army, and they are passive, and the counterattacks are quite scattered, and there is no way to wind up the bed crossbow, which requires several people to control.

In desperation, several Song warships could only retreat slowly. And Liu Yuanli looked at the black figure in the distance, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of the saber in his hand, the crossbowman quickly shifted direction, and once again poured the arrow towards the cliff.

It's just that this cliff is quite high, and even if it is a gentle slope, it can be regarded as steep, so only scattered arrows rushed to the top of the cliff, but they were blocked by the chest wall made of thick logs that Ye Yingwu had already ordered.

It seemed that he had expected that the bow and crossbow would not do any harm, Liu Yuanli didn't even frown, a few orders were issued quickly, three thousand soldiers spread out at the bottom of the mountain, and there were two thousand people on the gentle slope, and on the other two steeper sides, there were 500 soldiers waiting for each of them, making a posture ready to attack along the steep slope at any time, so that the defenders on the cliff knew that these two directions were easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they did not dare to relax.

The Song army on the cliff was just silent, not even a basic bow and crossbow shooting, Liu Yuanli, who was famous for his bravery, finally couldn't help but let out a soft "huh", but this does not mean that he will delay the attack, only by quickly taking down this cliff can he provide assistance to the Zishui division in time, and drag the Song army and the water division to death here.

Liu Yuanli knew very well in his heart that there must be a very important person from the Song Army on this cliff, otherwise he would not have let the Song Army Sailor Rather wait for the rabbit under the cliff than go north to directly look for the Shui Division. It's just that what Liu Yuanli doesn't know is that in fact, the defenders on this cliff are just to cover the Song Army's water division, and the reason why the Song Army's water division stopped here and did not go north was also because he was afraid that Liu Quan's infantry would occupy the high places in front of them and cooperate with the Zishui Water Division.

Both sides want to settle their opponents in this place.

"Rush!" Liu Yuanli shouted, and a centurion immediately shouted and rushed straight towards the cliff from his side. Hundreds of figures followed the centurion, and although the formation was scattered, it was quite orderly.

And on the cliff, looking at the Mongolian soldiers rushing up quickly along the gentle slope, Ye Yingwu took a breath lightly and pulled the trigger suddenly! Arrows whizzed out of the crossbow and instantly sank into the chest of a Mongolian soldier.

Without his orders, all the Song army crossbowmen pulled the trigger one after another, and no one shouted at the top of the entire cliff, only the crisp sound when the trigger was pulled. And the hundred-man team under Liu Yuanli, who was charging in the first wave, fell more than ten figures one after another, and more people had already hit the position twenty or thirty feet away from the cliff in an instant!

The rolling log, hidden behind the breastwork, was carried down by two soldiers, followed by a flurry of arrows. It's just that the formation of this hundred-person team is quite loose, and the two rolling logs roll through the smoke and dust, and they only knocked out three or two people, and more people are still upward with their shields and arrows.

"It's not good." Ye Yingwu couldn't help but take a breath lightly, and the hideous faces of these Mongolian men could already be faintly seen in the firelight, they were holding shields that had been filled with arrows, waving their blades, roaring and rushing up, the distance of more than ten zhang was only a few steps!

also didn't expect that the other party was just a team of 100 people and was about to let the family fight to the top of the mountain, Jiang Tie frowned slightly, put down the divine arm crossbow casually, and grabbed the saber: "Envoy, let a certain take the brothers to kill, only by solving these people can we deter the Mongolian Tartars below!" ”

"Don't panic!" Ye Yingwu waved his hand, and at this time, those shouting Tartar Han'er were only a dozen steps away from the top of the mountain. And Ye Yingwu waved his hand violently, and the Jinyi guard, who had been waiting behind, took a step forward at the same time, and threw down the fire thistle terrestris in his hand together.

The firearm, which resembled a primitive grenade, exploded in the footsteps of the charging Mongols, kicking up a cloud of rubble and dust, and screams replaced the shouts. It's just that Ye Yingwu didn't have time to care about the effect, because several Mongolian men with strong bodies and flying feet had already broken through the smoke and dust and rushed to the chest wall!

"Kill!" Ye Yingwu shouted violently, and swung out a sword!

More Song soldiers roared and jumped out of the chest wall, blades in their hands. And Jiang Tie, who rushed to the front, was holding a simple knife, whistling in the wind, and there were countless smoke and dust. The sound of fighting lasted only for a moment, and the more than ten Tartar men who had been lucky enough to get out of the explosion had already lay behind outside the chest wall, which became another barrier.

The Song army on the cliff was well-armed and strong, which was beyond Liu Yuanli's expectations. It stands to reason that even if there are only more than ten people left under his command, even if there are only ten people left, he can still cause some losses to the Song army, which is only thirty or forty people who rushed out.

But no, the blades in the hands of these more than 30 Song soldiers danced like snow, and after a while, Liu Yuanli's sons and daughters had already given all the heads, which was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables!

Where did this come from, and the combat power even surpassed that of Luzhou's strong pawns.

However, Liu Yuanli immediately understood, because in the firelight, not only a red flag danced violently in the wind, but also a smaller flag with it, and on that flag, there was a "leaf" character! Throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is only one general surnamed Ye who can be qualified to put up a banner.

It's just that I don't know how this Ye Envoy Jun came across thousands of miles?!

Secretly scolding his subordinates for being a real waste, Liu Yuanli also had to accept the fact that Ye Yingwu was on the cliff a hundred zhang away. And the one who made his hundred-man team suffer heavy casualties just now, and only more than a dozen soldiers walked down the cliff in a daze, was the Tianwu Army under Ye Yingwu, and it was likely to be the most elite of the Tianwu Army.

"So what's the competition, I've always liked such a strong person!" Liu Yuanli's heart soared, he and Ye Yingwu are both famous for their weak victories over the strong, and now they can be regarded as chess opponents, as long as they are bloody men, they want to compete.

With Liu Yuanli's order, the three hundred-person teams were dozens of feet apart and launched an attack at the same time! And even on the other two sides of the steep slope, there is a team of 100 people who shoot arrows and slowly ascend! It's just that at the same time as Liu Yuanli launched an offensive, the camp that had been dilapidated for a long time was once again covered by dense arrows.

Zhang Shijie, who was furious, personally led a building ship and more than 20 warships to support Ye Yingwu, and the crossbowmen under Liu Yuanli, who had just driven away the Song army's warships in the camp, were also caught off guard, and more than half of them were killed and wounded.

And there are even a few bed crossbows shot out of the thick iron arrows whistling from the gentle slope, rolling up strong wind gusts, and a team of 100 people who is unfolding the formation is also hit by the bull's-eye, the iron arrows pierced through four or five people straight through, before they fell with all their strength, and these four or five people wore an arrow, like a huge log rolling down, the 100-person team behind was naturally difficult to get out, and there were even another four or five people who were rolled all the way to the camp below!
