Xiangyang empty city, the smoke is getting thicker.

That night, the mighty rout finally rushed back to Xiangyang.

After entering the city, Zhang Mingzhi fell ill after being pacified by Jingnan Road, and all the entourage bureaucrats were embarrassed, and the plan to defend the city was naturally handed over to the generals of An Fengjun.

Now that Zhang Chao died in battle, Zhang Mingzhi fell ill and unconscious, and Sima Guanyue, the deputy commander of the Anfeng Army, naturally took over the city defense affairs.

However, Sima Guanyue was on the front line when he formed a horse rejection formation in the Battle of Wujiaji, and he couldn't stand the injuries, so he was only responsible for the formulation of the defense strategy in the general direction, and the details were handed over to Peng Jianqing.

The army of Sushi Lietaru was about to arrive, and the city of Xiangyang was running almost all night, constantly transporting many large stones to the city, and bed crossbows and catapults were also moved to the city.

Bundles of crossbow arrows were all taken out of the storeroom.

Although the Longxing Northern Expedition consumed most of the national strength, Xiangyang Mansion as the throat of Jingnan Road, the crossbow arrows, bed crossbows, catapults, and Semen knife carts in the treasury were well prepared.

Xiangyang is about to fight to the death.

……

……

Just when Wujiaji, the defense line of Jingnan Road, was defeated, the defense line of Lianghuai also changed.

No one expected that Fu Shi Lie Zhining, who had always marched steadily, would also take the sword sideways: after occupying the entire territory of the Xuyi Army, the army did not have much time to repair, and after the initial baggage and grain and grass were replenished, they actually sent the abducted horse and the Tiefutu to the south first!

A full 15,000 kidnappers and horses and 8,000 iron floating slaughter, like a swift beast, rushed straight to Chuzhou!

There are no foot guards.

The Jin cavalry went south so unscrupulously and rushed into the territory of Chuzhou.

Wherever the cavalry went, they plundered the local grain and grass to supplement the logistics, and looking at the posture, it almost made people think that he was going to use the cavalry to knock on the gate of Chuzhou.

The cavalry knocked on the city, even the literati who talked about it on paper knew that it was not possible.

Li Xianzhong and Zhao Dian didn't react for a while, and when they were about to mobilize their troops to meet the battle, they found that the 15,000 kidnappers and 8,000 iron floating slaughter had turned a corner and did not attack Chuzhou City.

But after turning the corner, the army pressed the border and seized the Qingliu Pass in the west of Chuzhou City!

This hand came as no surprise to all.

Qingliu Pass is only a few dozen miles away from Chuzhou, it was originally an inconsequential pass, after all, Haozhou has not been lost, if the Jin people occupy Qingliu Pass alone, it is very likely to suffer from the garrisons of Chuzhou and Haozhou.

However, Fu Shi Lie Zhining occupied this pass with cavalry.

The advantage of the cavalry is mobility...... Although the mobility of the heavy cavalry is slightly poor, it is an iron floating massacre, which cannot be measured by common sense.

In this way, Chuzhou is very embarrassing.

Take the initiative to attack, but the area from Chuzhou to Qingliuguan is full of open plains, and the five thousand cavalry in Chuzhou are not enough to lick the teeth of the kidnappers and horses.

If you attack with foot soldiers, there are no more than 40,000 foot soldiers on the terrain from Chuzhou to Qingliuguan, and you will not be able to stop the charge of 18,000 abducted horses and 5,000 iron floating slaughter.

There are indeed 60,000 or 70,000 troops in Chuzhou, but don't forget that Sushi Liezhining has led 30,000 foot soldiers to attack Chuzhou without slowing down - after capturing the Xuyi army, Sushi Liezhining's troops were replenished by Sizhou's troops......

If you don't take the initiative to attack Qingliuguan, then Chuzhou will be uncomfortable to death.

Qingliuguan's abducted horse and Tiefutu, like a nail, nailed to Chuzhou's chest, if you send troops, you have to face the collision of the abducted horse and the iron futu, if you withdraw from Chuzhou, you have to face the bite of the abducted horse......

If this is bitten by a kidnapping horse, it will repeat the tragedy of the collapse of Fu Li.

Li Xianzhong was very helpless in this regard.

Knowing this, it was Chuzhou that 5,000 light horsemen died, and they also had to stop the kidnapping horses and Tiefutu to occupy Qingliu Pass...... At that time, he and Zhao Dian thought that the abducted horse and Tiefutu were the vanguard army, and they wanted to be under the city of Chuzhou.

Who knew that Su Shi Lie Zhining would make such a strange move.

As a result, Chuzhou fell into the dilemma of being unable to move.

You can't go in, you can't go back.

The same is true of the Jin cavalry in Qingliuguan, Chuzhou does not move, they do not move, they just release soldiers and horses to plunder grain and grass everywhere - the purpose is obvious, that is, to contain your Chuzhou troops, and not let you Zhao Dian and Li Xianzhong escape.

After discussion between Li Xianzhong and Zhao Dian, they finally decided to abandon part of the military town, gather their forces and go to Chuzhou, looking for an opportunity to drive away the kidnappers and horses of Qingliuguan and Tiefutu.

The Lai'an military town between Xuyi and Chuzhou did not dare to move, and the Yangui military town on the west side of Chuxian County, 3,000 troops received a military order, and the army was attacked by 2,000 kidnappers and horses in less than two hours.

After two collisions, the two thousand crutches were damaged by no more than two or three hundred horses.

However, most of the 3,000 soldiers and horses in Yangui Military Town were killed or wounded.

As a result, Chuzhou became more and more afraid to move, so it could only send a report to Jiankang urgently, asking the garrisons of Haozhou and Luzhou to jointly send troops to attack Qingliuguan - but Luzhou soldiers and horses were scarce, and Haozhou had to beware of the Fushi Lie Zhining Department and had no time to take care of itself......

As a result, Chuzhou fell into a desperate situation of being crucified by the hand of Su Shi Lie Zhining.

Jiankang's Chen Junqing panicked.

Your sister, in this way, King Gong Zhao is more auspicious and less auspicious, but he can't transfer the troops of Huainan West Road, although the troops in Yangzhou and other places have been allocated, but the Ministry of Fushi Lie Zhining has also steadily advanced into Chuzhou!

There's no way, just report to Lin'an.

See if there is a way for the official family to send troops and horses from other places over: we must ride troops to support!

The foot soldiers of the Chuzhou front are not inferior to the Fushi Lie Zhining Division, but this fifteen thousand abducted horses and Tiefutu are a big killer, and we must find a way to pull out this nail.

Chuzhou was nailed to death, and Zhao Zhen in Jiankang City was so happy that he didn't want it.

In this way, his third brother didn't dare to move.

If he dares to withdraw from Chuzhou, he will inevitably be bitten by the kidnapping horse, but as the commander of the Huainan East Road, he can't leave the army and escape from Chuzhou with his own soldiers.

In this way, he can only sit and wait for death!

If Jiankang didn't have a Chen Junqing in charge, Zhao Zhen would definitely ignore the military report sent by Chuzhou.

Chuzhou was crucified, and the situation was in decay.

The situation on Huainan West Road is a little strange and complicated, first there is good news: Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, led an army of 4,000 to drive down Huajing Town, repelled the Jin army that tried to steal Huajing Military Town, and killed many enemies.

After that, 1,000 soldiers and horses were left to guard the town of Huajing, and Zhao Kai led more than 2,500 elite soldiers back to Shouchun.

Later, another major event occurred that shocked the entire Great Song Dynasty and the opposition: Zhao Chuan, the general of the Anfeng Army and the general of the Changfeng Army, ignored the military order of Zhao Kai, the envoy of the Jiedu, and wanted to lead the army to retreat to the Dingyuan Military Town of Haozhou.

When the army started, Zong Ping, the general of the Zhongyi Lang and Anfeng Military Department, wiped his neck with a sword on the charge of disobeying the military order! (To be continued.) )
