Shen Curling looked at it from above, in addition to the thousands of Wuzhou soldiers who were fighting head-on with the Fifth School Army, there were still two large infantry phalanxes on the outside of the slope slowly advancing towards Huishan, and at least more than 15,000 Wuzhou soldiers gathered on the gentle slope of the northeast foot of Huishan. The Zhu clan had reinforcements all the way to the Linjiang area unexpectedly ahead of schedule.

Shen Curling suppressed the horror in his heart and tried to identify his own flag. The strength of the army of the five schools was only half of the enemy's, and they fought and retreated to the west along the northeast foot of Huishan, and the array was still neat and tidy, and did not show signs of defeat. The left placket of Wei Yan's robe was torn off, revealing half of his arms, stained with blood, holding his double ge, standing at the end of the formation, his eyes showing fierce flames and looking around left and right. The soldiers of Wuzhou surrounded him from behind, and after ten steps, they did not dare to step forward again, it seemed that the blood stains on Wei Yan's body were the blood of the soul of Ge Xia.

Xu Ruyu's Qingfeng Banner was not found, not only was there no Qingfeng Banner in the array, but even Wei Yu's big banner was not erected. The battle between the two sides was still limited to the surface array, Zhu Lianzhi had not yet dared to make the Wuzhou soldiers advance to the depth of the five school army arrays, and the casualties on both sides were extremely limited, Shen Bingxu secretly thought to himself: The Lord led two thousand elites to leave the Huishan battlefield one step earlier.

Yun Shan suggested: "Our department can occupy Huishan and cover the crossing of the river by General Xing and Wei Yan." ”

The Fifth School Army retreated to the west, with the Liang River blocking it, and the enemy and us were entangled, so the Fifth School Army naturally could not cross the Liang River. Although the Zhu water battalion is weak, it is not difficult to block the Liang River, but the Zhu water battalion has not yet arrived at the battlefield. When Zhu Lianzhi is properly deployed, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Fifth School Army will be trapped on the east bank of the Liang River and at the northern foot of Huishan.

At present, only Shen Bingxuan led his 1,500 elites to occupy Huishan first, and together with the troops at the foot of the mountain, they could contain the Wuzhou soldiers and let the main force of the Fifth School Army cross the river. However, the forces of the Shen Curling Department and the Yamaxia Palace will be trapped in Huishan with several times their own troops.

Shen Curling said secretly: Looking at this situation, the adults have already arranged and occupied Huishan, what if the adults' arrangements are broken? He hesitated for a while, unable to decide whether to occupy Huishan and cover the main force of the Fifth School Army to cross the river.

Wuzhou soldiers forced to the foot of Huishan and sent more than 1,000 people to occupy Huishan first.

As the saying goes: Soldiers, go with the flow. At this time, he did not occupy Huishan first, but there were traces in Zhu Lianzhi's eyes. Shen Bing made up his mind, ordered Jingwei to occupy a favorable terrain, held a longbow and waited for the enemy at the bottom of the mountain to approach, and issued a banner to order the five school troops formed on the east bank of the Liang River to send 1,000 people to reinforcements.

On the riverside of Huishan, the mountain is steep and the distance is short, and the five school troops climbed Huishan first, and together with the Jingwei on the top of the mountain, they forced the Wuzhou soldiers back with a longbow.

Shen curling at the top of Huishan to respond, after Wei Yan led the palace of a thousand people, he blocked the Wuzhou army at the northeast foot of Huishan and did not advance westward. Xing Kunmin commanded the main force of the Fifth School Army to cross the Liang River, formed a formation on the west bank of the Liang River, and left 500 people for Shen Gongyi, and stationed them together on the east bank of the Liang River, at the foot of the northwest mountain of Huishan.

Seeing that the main force of the Fifth School Army had crossed the Liang River, and more than 1,000 elites were firmly fighting on the east bank of the Liang River, Wei Yan led the remnants of the army to retreat to the top of Huishan Mountain to join Shen Binglu.

In addition to the 2,000 troops led by Xu Ruyu who did not know where to go, there were still 9,000 troops stationed on both sides of the Liang River and Huishan, 6,000 troops led by Xing Kunmin were stationed on the west bank of the Liang River, Shen Gongyi led 1,000 people to be stationed on the east bank of Liangbao, and Shen Binglu and Wei Yan led 2,000 people to be stationed on the top of Huishan.

Although Zhu Lianzhi had 15,000 Wuzhou soldiers, he was blocked to the east of Liang Bao and could not threaten the main force of the Fifth School Army on the west bank of the Liang River.

Although Zhu Lianzhi had superior troops, he couldn't expand it, and he was extremely depressed. He wanted to send a force to cross the river from elsewhere and outflank the main force of the Fifth School Army on the west bank in a roundabout way, but he was afraid that the Fifth School Army on the west side would cross the river to attack the big camp while he was dividing his troops.

Before the reinforcements from other places arrived, Zhu Lianzhi could only watch the 3,005 school troops on the east bank and on Huishan.

Shen Bing wanted to hand over the command to Wei Yan, but Wei Yan waved his hand and said, "I am a guest general in the Fifth School Army, how can you command it properly?" ”

Seeing that Wei Yan was not modest, Shen Binglu did not insist any longer, and sent 500 sergeants to build a simple camp around the top of the mountain, so that the rest of the sergeants could rest for a while.

Although the head is oblique, but the heat does not disappear, fortunately, there is a clear spring gushing out in the mountains, forming a waterfall in the south cliff of Huishan Mountain, and flowing into the Liang River.

Although Huishan is only more than 20 zhang high, it is surrounded by two miles. There is a cliff to the south, the Liang River to the west, the mountain is steep and can barely be climbed, and the east and north sides of the mountain are gentle. The Fifth School Army on the top of the mountain and the Five School Army on the east bank of the Liang River were horns of each other, blocking the 15,000 Wuzhou soldiers on the slope of the northeast foot of Huishan.

Shen Curling looked at the Wuzhou soldier array under the mountain, and turned his head sideways to Wei Yan beside him and asked, "How could your Excellency change the battle plan temporarily?" ”

Wei Yan said: "Lanling sent two reinforcements, all the way along the southeast Chi Road of Banling to aid Zhu Lianzhi, and all the way along the inner side of the river embankment to aid Zhu Lianzhi. At that time, I didn't know the situation of the battle, so I had to evacuate the Linjiang Tubao and move to the southwest. ”

"The Zhu clan has 20,000 elites stationed in Lanling, and sent 10,000 reinforcements, not afraid of the emptiness in Lanling?"

"At the beginning of the expedition, the Lanling side sent two reinforcements, and General Xing originally intended to evacuate westward along the Chi Road, and then break through to the west after joining you and the Qingfeng Cavalry; Mr. sent a military order, so that the troops outside the Linjiang Tubao were transferred to the Huishan side, and on the way they converged with two thousand foot soldiers, knowing that you had defeated all the reinforcements, but I don't know where Mr. and Wei Yu went. ”

Shen Bing Curling was angry when he heard him, but he was not worried about the safety of Xu Ruyu and Wei Yu at all, and secretly thought: My lord has 2,000 foot soldiers and 1,000 Qingfeng cavalry elites in his hands, is it possible to defeat all the reinforcements and then come over to fight Zhu Lianzhi?

In such a situation in Huishan, in addition to the main force of the Fifth School Army on the west side, the three thousand Fifth School Army on the east side and above Huishan could not get out calmly, and those who were familiar with Xu Ruyu's surname could guess that he intended to fight the Wuzhou soldiers in Huishan.

Yun Shan walked up from behind, saluted Wei Yan and Shen Bing, and asked, "Your Excellency, do you want to fight Huishan in a decisive battle?" ”

Shen Bing glanced at Wei Yan and said, "What does General Wei think?" ”

Wei Yan yawned, stretched out his arms, and said, "Before nightfall, there will be a difference." ”

Zhu Lianzhi prevented the warships of the Yongyang Water Battalion from entering Yuejun, and blocked the mouth of the branch river with hidden piles, iron cables, and sunken boats at the mouth of the branch rivers that flowed into the river, and the warships of the Yongyang Water Camp could not enter the Liang River. The Fifth School Army is now about 70 miles away from the river, and it cannot be expected that the Yongyang Water Battalion will come to support. If Xu Ruyu really wanted to fight a decisive battle with Zhu Lianzhi in Huishan, he could only take advantage of the fact that the Zhu clan's reinforcements from all walks of life did not arrive, and then defeated the Wuzhou army under the mountain in a battle, and then broke through to the southwest.

Xu Ruyu led the Qingfeng cavalry and two thousand foot soldiers can only defeat all the way to the reinforcements, Zhu Lianzhi as long as there is a way to come with reinforcements, the strength will far exceed the five school army, at that time the decisive battle, the five school army will be extremely disadvantaged, and there is even the possibility of being completely annihilated in Wuzhou.

Seeing that Zhu Lianzhi did not attack at the northeast foot of Huishan, it was also to prevent Xu Ruyu from suddenly launching a decisive battle before nightfall.

Thinking of this, Shen Bing was a little puzzled. Even if there are 1,000 elite Qingfeng cavalry, the decisive battle of Huishan is still divided into five or five, not to mention that the five school troops must defeat the Wuzhou soldiers under the foot of the mountain before the Zhu clan reinforcements. Zhu Lianzhi has been prepared for the decisive battle, and it is quite difficult to defeat it in such a short period of time.

Wei Yan's demeanor was relaxed, and he was not worried about the upcoming big war at all.

The sunset was like fire, and Shen Binglu didn't see Xu Ruyu leading the army from the southwest, and the Qingfeng cavalry who rushed here to meet in the plan didn't show up.

Wei Yan said: "Put out the camp fire, lest the enemy come and attack the camp." ”

At night, the thin clouds cover the moon, the starlight is dim, and the top of the mountain is hidden in the night except for a few torches, and only the shadows of the rocks, flowers and trees can be faintly distinguished. On the east bank of the Liang River, bonfires cover the river, and it is clear all night.

It is not easy to attack at night in the mountains, attacking the five school troops on the east side of the mountain, and fearing the ambush soldiers in the mountains to come and encircle. Under the mountain by the river, there was light and darkness, but Zhu Lianzhi did not dare to disturb at night.

In the early morning, the news came, and Qingfeng, with the cooperation of 2,000 and 5 school troops, defeated all the reinforcements who arrived from Huzhou in Changxing County. The presence of the Qingfeng Cavalry surprised Zhu Lianzhi, although the six thousand reinforcements from the direction of Wuzhou joined him, he did not immediately launch an attack on the Five School Army near Huishan.

Tu Wenyong led 2,000 troops to join the military camp on the west bank of the Liang River, and Jiehai led 1,000 elite Qingfeng cavalry to cruise southeast of Huishan Mountain, peeking at the Wuzhou military camp. There is still no trace of Xu Ruyu and Wei Yu.

Wei Yan took out Biluo Shuangge from Ge's bag, and twisted the Shuangge butt to each other, like an ink giant Ge suddenly appeared, and Ge's body flashed with a strange dark luster. Let someone bring Mo Jun, ride up, and say to Shen Bing in a deep voice, "I'll leave it to you here, I'm going down to take this group of turtle sons." ”

Except for the cliffs in the west and south, the rest of Huishan was surrounded by water, and Shen Bing was about to dissuade him, but when he saw Wei Yan pulling the reins, Mo Jun let out a long hiss, and raised his hooves and rushed down the mountain along the gentle slope.

Zhu Lianzhi set up two teams of archers on the southeast slope of Huishan Mountain, and when he saw a general galloping on horseback, he shot arrows one after another.

When Zhang Jidao got married, Chen Ang asked Zhang Zhongdao to take the ink Jun to Yongyang and hand it over to Xu Ruyu. Wei Yan inherited Biluoge from Xu Ruyu and asked Mo Jun over.

Mo Jun struck out like a dark lightning, and instantly galloped into the Wuzhou army's arrow array. The momentum was too fast, and the archers only had time to send out a rain of arrows, and they already felt that the momentum was pressing down on their bodies like a mountain. Before he could take out the short-bladed parry, the arrow team had already trampled one man and one horse to pieces. Wei Yan rushed back and forth in the arrow array for two times, and when Shen Curling organized a team to attack from the bottom of the mountain, he let him take over and galloped straight out of the mountain.

The Wuzhou battalion galloped out dozens of horsemen to intercept Wei Yan, but saw that hundreds of horses from the Qingfeng cavalry team came to meet Wei Yan, so they gave up.

Wei Yan returned to the cavalry with Jiehai and asked, "Have you fought happily in these two days?" ”

Yuan Yu, one of the cavalry captains, said: "Last night, he burst into the enemy army, and the Huzhou reinforcements were crushed with one blow, but General Wei didn't let his brothers chase after him as if he had changed his surname, how could he fight happily?" The defeated troops of Lanling and Huzhou have fled westward, and as long as Lanling gathers the remnants there, there will be enemies blocking the way on our way west. ”

Wei Yan was surprised: "Mr. is not with Chef Wei?" ”

Yuan Yu said: "General Wei and Tu Wenyong are together, I haven't seen Mr., I thought Mr. was here." ”

Defeated but not annihilated, the enemy will gather the remnants of the army, and a new army can be formed, but such an army will be difficult to restore morale in the near future, so there is nothing to fear.

Wei Yu asked people to cross the river and send a military order, so that Qingfeng rode back to the northeast of Huishan to contain the Wuzhou army and prevent it from launching an offensive against the 1,05th school army on the east bank of the Liang River.

Yuan Yu said in surprise: "Ready to evacuate? ”

Wei Yan also had doubts in his heart, and said secretly: Chef Wei replaced Xing Kunmin to obtain the command of this battle, and it should not be as simple as evacuating. He couldn't send someone across the river to ask him, so he had to stuff himself in his stomach and lead the cavalry battalion back to the northeast of Huishan from the outside.

Zhu Lianzhi dug a deep trench at the foot of the northern foot of Huishan overnight, and the five school troops on Huishan could follow the trail at the northwest foot of Huishan to reinforce the friendly forces on the riverside, but let the deep trench block it, and it was impossible to outflank the Wuzhou army that was attacking the east bank of the Liang River from the side or from behind.

Thousands of Wuzhou troops launched an attack on the five school troops on the east bank of the Liang River along the outer side of the deep trench, and as long as the five school troops on the east bank of the Liang River were defeated, they could encircle Huishan. Although the reinforcements were routed from two routes, being able to annihilate the thousands of Wuxiao troops on the east bank of the Liang River was a major victory for the Zhu people over Jiangning.

Xu Ruyu rose to Jiangning, and the Zhu clan did not dare to speak out loud, and now the battle can eliminate the previous humiliation.

Zhu Lianzhi looked into the distance and said secretly: "If it weren't for the news that Nanping would have captured Yuzhou in advance, Lanling would not have been cautious enough to send two reinforcements. Xu Ruyu rushed back to Jiangning in the starry night and wanted to start the battle of Yuejun, but he had to win this battle first. Thinking that the battle with Jiangning was finally inevitable because of the Nanping army entering Shu, a strange and strong feeling suddenly grabbed his heart.

Suddenly, seeing the Qingfeng cavalry in the south detouring back to the north from the flank, Zhu Lianzhi was shocked, and urgently ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops and stop the attack on the five school troops on the east bank of the Liang River.

As expected, the Lanling reinforcements should also let this thousand Qingfeng cavalry be defeated, thinking that the Qingfeng cavalry soldiers who abandoned their horses had such an attack power, the flanks of their own attack array would inevitably not be able to withstand the impact of the cavalry battalion. The large battalion is surrounded by deep trenches, earthen ramparts, horse rejection, and roadblocks, and does not resist the attack of the cavalry battalion, but the marching infantry array is very vulnerable to the threat of the cavalry battalion charging formation, especially the flanks and rear flanks.

Zhu Lianzhi sent 2,000 halberd soldiers and archers with high shields out of the camp to resist the Qingfeng cavalry, and the Qingfeng cavalry cruised 200 paces apart, and did not try to approach or attack.

Zhu Lianzhi looked up at the mountain and exclaimed, "The Fifth School Army wants to escape. ”

The cavalry camp peeped and could not launch an offensive against the enemy on the riverside, and the five school troops on the Huishan Mountain could calmly go down the mountain and evacuate the five school troops on the east bank, and in the end, only one thousand Qingfeng cavalry remained on the east bank.

Zhu Lianzhi didn't have the luxury of hoping to be able to completely annihilate the Qingfeng Cavalry, but when he saw that the five school troops also calmly crossed the border, he couldn't accept it in his heart.

A general on his side stood up, obviously he also saw that the five school troops were withdrawing from intention, and said: "The Kou of Huishan wants to retreat, our army can take advantage of the situation to seize it, and the enemy has not yet crossed the river." According to the danger of Huishan, he attacked the enemy on the east bank, and then took advantage of the situation to cross the river in pursuit. ”

Zhu Lianzhi said: "What if the Kou on the west side takes advantage of my halfway to fight back? ”

"The advance army crossed the river to monitor, our army was twice as strong as the enemy, and according to the danger of Huishan, it was invincible."

Zhu Lianzhi thinks about it, at this time, the opportunity to double the enemy cannot be used, do you have to wait for Xu Ruyu to lead the army over and then fight with him? It will become a laughing stock in Jiangdong in the future.

Zhu Lianzhi made up his mind and sent an army to bypass the southern foot of Huishan to cross the Liang River, and personally led the elite of the Chinese army to attack Huishan from the gentle slope of the northeast foothills.

Shen Bing only had 2,000 troops to guard the top of Huishan Mountain, and in the face of the gentle slope from the northeast foothills, there was no danger to defend, so he led 500 elite soldiers to guard behind the earthen fortress, and ordered 1,500 elites to descend the mountain from the trail at the northwest foothills.

Zhu Lianzhi was bent on eating the Fifth School Army on the east bank of the Liang River, and the Chinese army marched to the mountainside, leaving only a small number of troops on the mountain to contain it, so he divided 1,000 troops to continue to attack the mountain, and the other troops pursued the main force of the Fifth School Army on the east bank of the Liang River along the mountainside.

Wei Yu could see the Wuzhou sergeants on the northern slope of Huishan across the Liang River, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Xing Kunmin said: "Lanling sent two reinforcements in a row, but unexpectedly, General Wei should persuade the adults to return to Jiangning. ”

Wei Yu said: "Rong Yanmen has never underestimated Jiangning, and when he captured Yuzhou, he immediately notified the Zhu family. I wish Lianzhi to be cautious and not cause trouble, if he is greedy, he will regret it. ”

"Greed? The army of Nanping entered Shu, and I, Jiangning, would gather an army to take the entire territory of Yue County, and I wish Lianzhi to see such a good opportunity, how can I not be greedy? The gloomy look on Xing Kunmin's face was still unresolved.

Wei Yu looked at Huishan across the river, Zhu Lianzhi led his troops to climb the mountain, and divided his troops to take the top of the mountain and the riverside at the waist of Huishan, and the Wuzhou soldiers who rushed down with the mountain avoided the threat of the Qingfeng cavalry, and contacted the five school troops at the foot of the northwest foot of Huishan.

Zhu Lianzhi was determined to annihilate the Five School Army on the east bank of the Liang River, and it was of little significance to hold on to the top of Huishan with 500 sergeants. Before Zhu Lianzhi personally led the elite to come over, Shen Bing led five hundred soldiers to rush down Huishan.

The northwest foot of Huishan is steep and narrow, nearly 6,000 Wuzhou soldiers huddled together, and Shen Binglu led 500 soldiers to rush, and then they were disorganized, but there was nowhere to retreat, and the soldiers on both sides were mixed together and rushed towards the Liang River.

Zhu Lianzhi stood on the top of Huishan Mountain, looking at the chaotic situation under the mountain, frowning slightly, the two sides were mixed together, the five school army could not get out of crossing the river, the Wuzhou army occupied the advantage in strength, and the balance of victory naturally tilted to his side, but for a while he could not cross the river to encircle and annihilate the main force of the five school army.
