Burning Stone grinned, smiled lightly, and said: "The Kou soldiers divided their troops to entangle my pursuers, and there are only more than 5,000 people who can really escape and escape, and they are a hasty army, and a thousand elite cavalry are enough." ”

In the twilight of the four together, the Kou soldiers insisted on breaking through at this time, hoping to help the night.

Feng Yuanyuan looked up at the faint clouds on the sky dome, and said: "At the end of the night, leave the attack for tomorrow morning, and the remnants of the army will be solved here, and I will send reinforcements over to help the two encircle and destroy the bandits." ”

As the night grew darker, the elite cavalry bypassed the chaotic battlefield in the northwest of the city, and disappeared into the night in a moment, only the sound of the hooves was particularly clear in the sound of fighting in the sky.

There were still a small number of remnants in the city, and when the Kou soldiers broke through from the north city, the defense at the gap in the southeast corner of the city collapsed with a single blow, and the Qingyan army outside the east city advanced to the city from the gap and the east gate. The remnants of the city set fire to everything they could in the city, thus slowing down the advance of the Blue Flame Army. In addition to the fire in the city, the bonfire on the battlefield in the northwest of the city was also blazing, reflecting the sky like a red flame.

It's like being shrouded in a bright red world of bizarre killing. When Lin Seng Xiang advanced towards the city, he sent more than 1,000 elite soldiers to go around the south city gate. The remnants of the city wanted to escape from the south gate into the dense forest of Wuling Mountain, but the battle of the whole city was the most fierce outside the intact south gate.

In order to allow the main force to escape smoothly by night, the Puji bandits, who were destined to be sacrificed, left behind to delay the pursuit of the soldiers, showed surprisingly fierce and stubborn. Nearly 4,000 men wrapped three times their own Blue Flame Army around the battlefield in the northwest corner of the city. The pursuers were originally chased out by different routes, and the soldiers who blocked the attack were also scattered and divided into seven or eight places. At this time, seeing that the main force had successfully disappeared into the night, they gathered together as much as they could, and gradually moved towards the hills to the west. For them, only by escaping into the Wuling Mountains, seven or eight miles to the south, can they have a chance to live.

The breakthrough of the Kou soldiers from the northwest made people feel sudden, and the wind forest led the troops from the west city to attack together, which was very hasty, and the formation was a little scattered, so that the Kou soldiers behind the palace were entangled, and the battlefield looked chaotic. The five-way pursuers chased out of the north of the city, although the Kou soldiers were entangled, the formation was much more tidy. Feng Yuanyuan saw that the four thousand Kou soldiers were showing signs of breaking through to the south, and at this time, the chaotic formation in the south had not yet been adjusted, so it was very easy for the Kou soldiers to rush over, let the guards lead his arrows, and let Lin Seng Xiang transfer a team of elite soldiers from the city to form a second defensive line out of the west city, so as to encourage the Kou soldiers to enter the Wuling Mountain.

Feng Yuanyuan led the guards to gallop to the side of the wind forest, and said: "Lin Seng Xiang has formed a second line of defense on the south side, let the chaotic formation in the south disperse and rectify the two wings, let the Kou soldiers penetrate the past, their determination to attack to the north will not, you organize a few captains of archers to attack from the north, as long as they are blocked in the south, take the opportunity to shoot them." ”

At this time, the sound of the hooves of the war horses rushing can no longer be heard, the plains rush to kill, the six thousand Kou soldiers who are bent on escaping are the opponents of the Jiangning One Thousand Elite Cavalry, but there are many dangers lurking in the night, and the direction of the Kou soldiers fleeing is mostly hills, and the Jiangning cavalry camp has been expanded several times, and there are only three thousand people at this time, which shows how difficult it is. There were only four or five thousand remnants in the bag, and Feng Yuanyuan took out four thousand elite soldiers to chase them out.

The war attached to Wenling City was completely over before dawn, and only a very small number of remnants were able to escape into the dense forests of Wuling Mountain, and the poor Kou should be chased, Feng Yuanyuan knew that these remnants who escaped into the mountains were extremely cruel, and if they were not exhausted at this time, they would harm the place in the future, and organize hundreds of good soldiers to chase them into the mountains.

For the soldiers who fled all night, it was extremely difficult to bear, and the tail of a thousand elite horsemen who would never leave it was one to two miles behind, and they couldn't get rid of it. The sound of hooves is as clear as kicking in the ears, torturing the spirit of the fleeing Kou soldiers, and in the middle of the night, the Kou soldiers finally decided to divide their troops into two ways, all the way to the west, pointing directly to the gap between Yueqing and Yanmen, and all the way to the north, pointing to the gap between Yanmen and Jinhua. Jiehai and Burning Stone each led 500 elite cavalry to chase all the way, but most of the 4,000 Qingyan troops who came to support were from Fuzhou military households, and the generals who led the troops knew that Li Yi and Zhou Shilong were outflanking in the northeast, so they did not hesitate to chase the whole team to the west to prevent the 3,000 soldiers from entering Fuzhou.

The westward Kou soldiers did not dare to divide their troops again, and even the thin defensive line between Yueqing and Yantan could not be passed until dawn, and until dawn, it was also 3,000 Kou bandits who kept advancing westward. Feng Yuanyuan received Wei Yu's military order ten days ago, and launched a strong offensive against Wenling City, ten days without stopping, although the Kou soldiers were fierce, but they were tired, running all night, even more tired, and let the elite cavalry follow all night, and their minds were scattered. Jiehai Ling's road elite cavalry is just slowly riding the horse behind the enemy, do not escape, when the dawn, suddenly crossed the Kou soldiers, appeared on the low hill in front of its left, all eyes showed the essence, the killing intent was great, took off the spear hanging on the side of the horse, pulled out the saber and bit it in the mouth with his teeth, when the Jiehai Altitude Blade drank and killed, five hundred elites rushed down to the six times their own Kou soldiers, rushed to a hundred steps, suddenly threw the spear in his hand, held the saber in his mouth to both sides, and the spear behind him suddenly shot out. The forward defensive shield array formed by the Kou soldiers in a hurry allowed more than 500 spears to shoot through from 7800 paces, and hundreds of Kou soldiers nailed their spears to the ground, struggling to breathe their last breath. The 500 elite horsemen holding standard sabers formed a goose-shaped formation, forming a double-edged pincer attack on the Kou soldiers, wedged into the enemy formation from the upper left corner and the upper right corner. By the time the infantry battalion arrived, there were only 1,500 corpses lying on the battlefield.

Jiehai didn't mind that the generals who came to support showed a look of surprise and suspicion, and said directly: "This place is handed over to you, and I will go to the Burning Stone." With that, he galloped out in a northeasterly direction. The Jingwei next to him immediately took out the horn, whined and blew, and the elite cavalry soldiers who were chasing and killing the bandits everywhere heard the sound and wandered out of the chaotic battlefield, seemingly unhindered, without seeing its whole formation, with Jiehai's figure galloping towards the northeast, and disappearing into the hills, the general saw that the last dozens of horsemen had formed a scattered array and went to the northeast.

The 3,000 soldiers who fled north were divided into six teams, each with 500 men, and fled north in the potential night, with two teams in front, two teams in the center and then scattered to both sides, and two teams in the back, forming a gap in the middle, but hiding the killing intention.

If you continue to follow until dawn, you will find that there are only two teams of soldiers left in front of you, and the other four teams of 2,000 soldiers are nowhere to be found, and the reinforcements behind have not followed.

The Jiangning cavalry battalion could not accept the heavy losses of victory, and the burning stone immediately made a decision, galloped out from the left side, shook off the enemy formation, and headed north, scattering dozens of rangers in the north. However, by the time of dawn, there were still two teams of thousand-strong soldiers who pierced through the gap. Jiehai and the burning stone soldiers are united, and after solving the two thousand soldiers who are targeted, they continue to chase them north, and in the afternoon, they encounter the northern interception battalion led by Li Yi, and there is no trace of the 1,000 soldiers, at this time, Feng Yuanyuan came to this side with hundreds of elite guards, heard this, pouted, and said: "Inform the Fan family, saying that more than 1,000 remnants of the soldiers may escape into Jinhua, and hope to cooperate with annihilation." He also said to Li Yi: "This battle is a complete victory, and I will report to Jiangning as soon as possible." ”

Gongliang Youqin learned the details of the battle of Wenling at the mouth of the southeast of Jinghai in the ship, although 6,000 soldiers and horses successfully broke through the city, but let 1,000 elite cavalry raid annihilation, and the remaining 1,000 people entered the territory of Jinhua, which also allowed the elite of the Fan family to be annihilated. Possible variables are no longer variables, and when Gongliang Youqin gave the order to let the defenders of Wenling break through to the north, he did not have the intention of meeting them in the line of rivers and waterways. He knew in his heart that if he wanted to take over the defenders in Wenling City, he might pay a heavier price, he thought that the defenders of Wenling would be sacrificed more deservedly, but he didn't expect that there would be these elite cavalry battalions in Feng Yuanyuan's army.

Gongliang Youqin remembered the situation a few years ago when he led an army of 780,000 Puji to let 5,000 Qingfeng Jingqi chase and kill, all the organized defense lines were like a piled up by sea sand to make Qingfeng Jingcai suddenly collapse, and 5,000 Jingqi were like an incomparably sharp and spiritual blade, which broke up the tens of thousands of Puji troops into scattered and collapsed armies.

It seems that he has suddenly aged a lot, and the eyes of Gongliang Youqin looking at the floating clouds in the sky have no sharp cold light. With a long sigh, the boat traveled to the southeast of Jinghai at the mouth of the sea, and Xu Ruyu set up a water camp in Jinghai without a single warship came out to intercept it, and sure enough, Wei Yu transferred all the Jinghai water camps out to sea, and wanted to come to Puji at this time. From Jinghai along the river to swim up for 600 miles to meet with Lingfengjing and Xu Bodang. Fortunately, in addition to the 100-mile waterway in the Jiangning section, the other 500-mile waterways are all on the side of Jiangning and Zhujia, otherwise even if there is no water camp, Gongliang Youqin's 20,000-strong army will have to shed a few layers of skin if they want to cross the 600-mile waterway.

The relationship between the Zhu family and Jiangning has always been tense, and Gongliang Youqin is not afraid that the Zhu family will reach a tacit understanding with Jiang Ning in such a short period of time, but when crossing the waterway of Jiangning, you should be more careful. In addition to the 30,000 armed guards, Jiangning still has 20,000 elite water battalions. When Gongliang Youqin was in the waters of Wenling, he sent several groups of messengers to see Ling Fengjing, but he was worried but did not retreat.

After the river water out of the spring, it is quite open, from Jiangning down, the waterway is narrow, there are three or four miles wide water surface, Lingfengjing has 20,000 water camps to occupy the upstream, Gongliang Youqin rate 20,000 water camps against the water to catch up, in addition to Xu Bodang 30,000 elite foot battalion, Jiangning to do hands and feet in this water area is extremely difficult, not to mention Lingfeng mirror, Gongliang Youqin, Xu Bodang are all people with sharp eyes.

Release or Interception? The people of Jiangning are arguing about this, of course, the preparations that should be made are still done, Gongliang Youqin is still 500 miles away from Jiangning, and it will take three days and nights to go upstream.

Shao Haitang, Jiang Lingtian, Xu Boying and others all thought that they should be released, and Rong Yanmen would further expand the war on the middle or eastern front before it really entered Chengdu and Chongqing in the west, so as to slack the vigilance of the Chengyu family, and the middle road was blocked in Xiangyang, Rong Yanmen would not really launch an offensive, and it was very likely that the war would be restarted on the eastern front. The battle situation in Nanping on the Eastern Front will become boring because of vigilance, and Jiangning has no possibility of destroying the main army of Nanping, so it is better to put the remnants of the Huo family in Liyang, Jiangjin, and Jingbei and the family forces in Jingnan under greater pressure, so that Jiangning can benefit from it. What's more, Gongliang Youqin is the coach of the Eastern Front, which is a beneficial thing for Jiang Ning. Nanping's soldiers on the Eastern Front will not maintain their belief in victory with a coach who has repeatedly suffered heavy defeats to Jiang Ning, especially against Jiang Ning.

However, the generals in the army, especially the generals of the Qingjiang and Baiyi factions, thought that there was a possibility of completely annihilating the Puji bandits, and they would regret it after letting them go. Mi Yusheng is the commander of the 20,000 water battalions in Jiangning, so he naturally hopes to gain military exploits through it. The day after Xu Ruyu's secret letter arrived in Jiangning, Mi Wusheng drew up a very detailed plan, which included instigating the Yi family to send troops to contain the Lingfeng Jingshui Camp and Xu Bodang's headquarters to move westward, the Zhongli military to enter the territory of Baishi, extend the waterway controlled by both sides of the river, lock the river with iron chains at the narrowest part of the river, start from the Jinghai channel, hide small ships in the tributary water system, harass the Puji fleet all the way, and dispatch the main force of the water battalion to fight a decisive battle with it in the Jiangning section of the waterway. Such a battle plan was quite secure, and even if the battle was unfavorable, the main force of the water battalion could avoid the Sangpo Lake.

The wedding date between Mi Yusheng and Yi Tingxue is approaching, but Yi Guanyuan does not support it, and says: "Ru Yu mentioned in the secret letter: Rong Yanmen waved his army west into Chengdu and Chongqing, which is beneficial to Jiangning, and Jiangning's plan should be based on not disrupting its deployment of the western expedition. Intercepting the Puji bandits above the river is very likely to develop into a larger battle, and our Jiangning is not worried about defeat, and the Yi family and the Zhu family can only wait and see, although the battle is undefeated, it is to avoid the enemy. ”

**************

Fanyang is located in the Xiongyao, the north is surrounded by mountains, the south is pressed by the Central Plains, if you sit in the hall and look down on the court, it has always been the northern gateway of the Central Plains with the Northern Tang Dynasty. Its face is flat land, burdened mountains, south of the Jianghuai, north even the desert, wealth and goods gathered, the natural danger is advantageous, Bianzhou, Luochuan, Xijing, Jiangzuo is not as good as also, Fanyang is located at the intersection of the east and west topography, the origin of the king in the south, into can be controlled, retreat can rely on the hometown of the desert north, to Fan Yang and look at the Central Plains, high risk, there is the momentum of the building, the shape is better than the world, the mountains and rivers, there is the solid of the golden soup, if the situation does not deteriorate to this point, not human can change, Xu Ruyu does not want to see such a powerful place fall into the hands of foreign races.

Hulan's invasion this time is by no means as simple as just wanting to wash the Central Plains, they want to rule the world by Fan Yang.

Xu Ru ignored Helan Luoyun's provocation if he had not seen it, and asked the elite cavalry to let him go away, and the other Hulan rangers avoided the north bank of Laishui, and only set up a small number of scouts on the south bank. Xu Ruyu and his entourage successfully arrived at the outskirts of Fanyang. Along the way, the mood was very heavy, and there were few words, until Fan Yang City suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision, Xu Ruyu reined in the horse, looked up at the large heavy dark clouds in the distance pressed on Fan Yang's city, and felt indignant in his heart.

On the high ground ahead, a horse appeared, with bright light armor, a red scarf tied around his neck, and a silver spear, looking at this place from afar. The wind of the north blew unscrupulously in the plains, and the green sideburns and horses on the high ground neighed in the wind, and the red scarf that was raised covered most of the man's face. Xu Ruyu looked at it for a while, only to feel that the person's eyebrows looked very childish, but he was a minor young man.

Xu Ruyu glanced sideways at Fan Wenlong, lowered his eyes, thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's finally here." Lightly clamping the horse's belly, he drove his mount towards the high ground, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of elite warriors wearing leather armor and carrying spears and carrying long bows and sabers galloped up the slope with Xu Ruyu. The young man in bright armor did not get out of the way, put the silver spear in front of him, and drove the horse in front of Xu Ruyu.

Cai Hui saw the young man's face clearly, he was shocked, whipped the horse's belly lightly, and scolded loudly: "Fifth brother, don't let General Qingfeng get out of the way." ”

Xu Ruyu quietly looked at the stubborn young man in front of him and was silent.

The young man waved his gun and pointed at Xu Ruyu's front door, and shouted: "Everyone doesn't dare to stop you from entering Fanyang, I will stop you." This sentence is like a thunderbolt, reflecting the childish face of the teenager vividly and brightly.

Xu Ruyu could feel the faint murderous intent of the young man coming from the silver spear between his eyebrows, which could perhaps be said to be his unwavering determination and courage. The long eyebrows narrowed, and he just cast his gaze into the young man's eyes.

Wei Yan rode out of the horse and said with a grin: "Everyone in the world can stop it, but your Cai family can't." His eyes were fierce, staring at the young man's eyebrows, and his momentum was revealed, and he pressed the young man directly.

The young man's figure shook, and immediately froze, under the pressure of Wei Yan's momentum, his voice became a little weird and sharp, but it revealed his unshakable will: "Everyone in the world can abandon Fan Yang and go, but the men of the Cai family cannot." ”

Cai Hui was going to go up and pull him away, but when he heard this, his face was ashamed, and he sat on the horse in a daze, lost his soul and didn't know how to speak.

Wei Yan collected his qi and praised: "If the children of the family were like you, Youji would not have fallen to the point where it is today. Completely ignoring Cai Hui's face, Gu Shou glanced at Xu Ruyu, saw that his face was indifferent and firm, pouted and smiled, turned the horse's head, retreated behind Xu Ruyu, and secretly thought: Mr. The clan is still settled by Mr. himself.

Xu Ruyu's eyes glanced up and down at the young man, and said, "You are Jingluo?" ”

The young man put his hands together, arched between his eyebrows, returned to his chest, made a reciprocal salute, and said, "Fan Yang Cai Jingluo." But the people did not despise it.

Seeing his solemn expression, Xu Ruyu sighed secretly, returned the courtesy, and said, "Jiangning Xu Ruyu." After a pause, he asked, "Is your father well?" Without waiting for him to reply, he sighed, fell off his horse and galloped northward, and in a blink of an eye went down the heights, leaving the road west to Fanyang and turning to the northwest.

Wei Yan was stunned, looked at Fan Wenlong, and asked in surprise, "Let's not enter Fanyang?" ”

Fan Wenlong snorted and said, "My lord wants to go to Beihe Villa." ”

While the two were talking, Mei Yingxue's figure had already passed by the two of them, Wei Yan whistled, whipped the horse's buttocks, stepped off the horse like an arrow, Fan Wenlong and hundreds of elite horsemen also went down the heights, looked at Xu Ruyu's figure, and galloped towards Beihe Mountain in the northwest.
