The Eastern Route Army, which was originally pinned on by Yang Hao, has been making slow progress, and after Meng Ming forcibly occupied Yulin Town at the cost of nearly 1,000 casualties, he was recaptured by two battalions of the Sixth Division before he had time to rest, and then the Fengya Battalion tasted defeat again under the city of Zhenxiang, Ma Heshang immediately gave up attacking Zhenxiang, and turned south to make a feint attack on Yinzhou, so as to jump out of the encirclement of the four battalions of the Sixth Division and the Second Division, and at the same time created an opportunity for the Breaking Wave Battalion to recapture Yulin Town,

At the end of the first round of fighting, the Western Route Army annihilated more than 1,000 enemies, lost 1,000 and 5,000 losses, and the strategic goal was also not achieved.

Yang Hao didn't believe this at all, Wen Shimao might be able to give Meng Ming a big official job, but he couldn't give Meng Ming the opportunity to make contributions, and Meng Ming belonged to the kind of people who regarded merit as life, Cheng Keling was ordered to go east for reinforcements, Meng Ming was taken aback when he saw Cheng Keling, and asked: "General Cheng came, is it on the order of the marshal." ”

Cheng Keling smiled: "That's natural, otherwise how dare I act without permission, why didn't General Meng welcome it." ”

Meng Ming smiled bitterly: "Where are the words." Then he frowned, and withdrew his attendants, and Cheng Keling asked urgently: "Is there anything wrong with me coming here?" ”

Meng Ming said: "There are no outsiders here, I might as well say it bluntly, recently I heard some rumors, saying that Sui Yuan was secretly connecting the old department of Hedong, didn't General Cheng think it was a little strange." Cheng Keling was also taken aback and said: "I have also heard some of these rumors, but Sui Crouching Tiger has destroyed the Longwei Camp, which is an ironclad fact...... Could it be that this is a bitter ploy? ”

Meng Ming shook his head and sighed: "I'm just guessing, there is no real evidence, and I don't dare to say this to Dashuai." ”

Cheng Keling heard the meaning of Meng Ming's words, Meng Ming is a general from the Tiande Army, although he is deeply valued by Yang Hao, but after all, there is a layer of separation in the middle, some words are indeed inconvenient for him to say, but he is an old general when Yang Hao started, and he has always been regarded as a confidant, even if he says the wrong thing, there will be no adverse consequences,

Cheng Ke said: "I'll go back to Xiao Chang'an to report this matter to the marshal." Meng Ming hurriedly stopped him and said: "Hey, don't you go back at this moment to find yourself scolded, the marshal sent me high hopes, but I failed him, he sent you to reinforce, it can be seen that the capture of Yulin Town is eager, you just came to me and listened to my unfounded words, so you ran back, don't you look for scolding." ”

Cheng Keling thought about it for a while, and said: "Then let's capture Yulin Town first, and then borrow the opportunity to see him when we go back to report the victory, and we will be fine." Meng Ming nodded approvingly,

Xiao cavalry battalion, broken wave battalion, broken battalion gathered the main force of 3,000 people day and night to besiege Yulin Town, Geng Le personally led the army to the rescue, the army just out of the city, heard that the Fengya battalion has detoured back to the south of Yinzhou City, a series of seven or eight military villages, has threatened the safety of Funing, an important grain and grass base of the Shence Army in the southeast of Yinzhou, if Funing is the second division, the sixth division of the grain road will be cut off, Yinzhou is unsafe,

The defenders of Funing only have two regiments and some village soldiers, the strength is less than 500, and the city is dilapidated and there is no way to hold it, Geng Le had to lead the main force to reinforce Funing, and sent the general Zhang He to lead the Fuwei battalion north to rescue Yulin Town, Zhang He led the army to rescue Yulin Town when he heard that the city was broken, he hurriedly retreated, and the two sentinels of the Xiaocai battalion who served as the outer guard task took advantage of the situation to attack and kill, Zhang He could not distinguish the enemy's situation, and only blindly fled, and when he fled back to Yinzhou, he lost his troops and was killed by Geng Le immediately,

Meng Ming fought hard to seize Yulin Town, the defenders of Zhenxiang were afraid that the back road would be cut, and retreated without a fight, Ma Heshang took Geng Le around a big circle, and suddenly turned northwest to capture Dejing County, but this move was unexpected by everyone, the Dejing garrison was the most elite Wansheng battalion of the first division, and the name of "Wansheng" was given by Emperor Jingzong, which was the highest honor for this meritorious unit that made repeated achievements in the Anshi Rebellion and the rebellion of the domain town in later generations.

Ma Heshang is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter, the reason why he chose to attack Dejing County is that he misjudged the situation, mistakenly thinking that it was the original Changliu Battalion that guarded Dejing County, Changliu Battalion was nicknamed "Scholar Battalion" and "Girls Battalion", and a large group of senior generals of the unified army and deputy generals were all born as students of Guozijian, and the legend is that everyone can pinch a soft egg army,

Wen Shimao placed him on the front line, it is likely that he will act as bait to take the bait, Ma Heshan's wishful thinking is, I killed from the middle of the road, ate your fragrant bait, and made you unable to catch fish, so Ma Heshan's shiny meat head hit the big stone of Wansheng Camp hard, the consequences were very miserable, and after attacking the city for an hour, the Fengya Battalion lost one-third,

The arrows of the Wansheng battalion were as dense as a torrential rain, and at the same time a thousand ironclad cavalry quietly went out of the city from the secret gate, and the opponent's busy Mahshan suddenly stabbed him in the back, and the defeat was like a mountain, and the Fengya battalion could no longer bear it, and the chaotic army scattered and fled, and Mahshan himself led the remnants to flee to the northwest, trying to meet with the Flying Tiger Battalion.

Wansheng camp completely ignored the ancient precept of the poor Kou Mo chasing, took out the fact of beating the water dog, all the way to the chase, Mahshan was defeated again and again, and the people around him became fewer and fewer, and finally fell into a desperate situation in the Woyebo seventy miles northwest of Dejing, more than 100 people were killed in battle, Mahshan himself was also captured alive, and was escorted back to the city on the way, under the pretext of going to the toilet to knock down the guards, snatching the horse and trying to escape, the horse was shot in the leg, Mahshan landed and was captured, and was beheaded.

When the bad news came, Yang Hao cried bitterly, since the formation of the Xining Army, he had never encountered such a fiasco, and there had never been a precedent for a battalion of the army to be captured by the enemy, the unexpected destruction of the Fengya Battalion disrupted all the subordinates of the two families for a while, Yang Hao suddenly realized that the military deployment map he obtained was a fake map, Wen Shimao unknowingly led himself into a desperate situation,

Whether to negotiate in the end or retreat to make peace, Yang Hao wavered for a while, but his heart tended to shrink his troops, and retreated to the three cities of Fengzhou, although the loss of Xiao Chang'an was extremely unfavorable to himself, but it was not a quagmire for Wen Shimao, Shi Xiong and Liu Wei did not shed tears when they saw the coffin, and if they did not put real pressure on them, they would not come forward to work hard,

Just when Yang Hao was gradually shaken, a great news suddenly came: Gu Duoli's Western Route Army had detoured to the northwest of Xiazhou after crossing Qiwu Mountain, and broke through sixteen towns in a row, successfully cutting off the grain road between Xiazhou and Youzhou and Yanzhou.

In addition to Han Linjiang's third division and Xiong Biwu's sixth division, Gu Duoli's division also has two battalions of Lian Yong, who are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and it is even more difficult to fight deep into the enemy's hinterland.

This makes Han Jianglin, who is accustomed to the frontal battle of the large corps, and Xiong Biwu, who is good at siege and reinforcement tactics, extremely uncomfortable, the Shence army is repeatedly defeated, but the Xia Suijun army, who is also accustomed to sports warfare, can pinch this rhythm, but unfortunately they have too few troops, and the combat power is more than one grade worse, after suffering two small losses, the Xia Sui army basically withdrew from the battlefield, and the Western Route Army achieved a complete victory in the first stage,

Encouraged by the Western Route Army, Meng Ming's Eastern Route Army moved south after capturing Yulin Town and Zhenxiang County, crossed Yinzhou and went straight to Fuyuan, Geng Le went out of the city to rescue Fuyuan, but Jiang Yule led the army north to attack Yulin Town, Meng Ming's Breaking Wave Battalion gave up Yulin Town after several harassments outside Yulin Town, Jiang Yule got a Yulin that had been burned to ruins,

When Geng Le arrived at Fuyuan City, Meng Ming had besieged the city for a day and a half, and it was a little strange that nearly two thousand elite forces of the Xining Army had no way to take four or five hundred defenders, Geng Le led the vanguard cavalry to arrive under the city, and the follow-up troops were still dozens of miles away.

The tragedy happened like this, Meng Ming concentrated all the longbow soldiers to launch the most fierce fire attack on Fuyuan in the land of projectiles, and the overwhelming rockets burned Fuyuan County, although the various departments of the front army had long been prepared for the longbow army, but everyone equated the longbow army of the Xining army with the rocket soldiers in the ordinary army, and all the defensive measures were not in place,

The Sixth Division suffered the greatest loss since the start of the war, the 38 generals under the main general Geng Le were buried in the fire, the sky of the Sixth Division fell half in an instant, the tragedy did not end, and then the various units that arrived because the main general was killed, and the dragons had to fight separately without a leader, and the Sixth Division had an absolute advantage in the total strength, but this time it became a relative disadvantage,

Meng Ming's command art was brought to the extreme, he won the biggest victory in Fengzhou since the start of the war with 2,000 troops, annihilated 3,800 enemies, and the corpses of Fuyuan City were piled up like a mountain, and the Sixth Division existed in name only.

Wen Shimao beat his chest when he heard this, drew his sword and slashed the public case, and swore to the sky: "If you don't take revenge, heaven will not tolerate it." Immediately about to send Liang Xiaotian's seventh division to reinforce Yinzhou, Ying Guliu persuaded: "Although Yang Hao won a small victory, he has fallen into the big marshal, and it is not far from the time of destruction, why should the big marshal be angry and mess up every inch." ”

Wen Shimao woke up when he heard this, and sighed repeatedly: "I have fought for most of my life, but this time is the most cowardly, you said that this Yang Hao really has some doorways, ah." Ying Guliu smiled and said, "It's a pity that he doesn't know what is coming." ”

"If I can capture him, the old man really wants to persuade him to join my door and become the old man's closed disciple." Wen Shimao smiled proudly, then shook his head again, and sighed: "It's a pity, this is a wolf, and it can't be raised." ”

After Geng Le's death, Jiang Yule guarded Yinzhou City and no longer went to war, and Meng Ming took advantage of the situation to capture Funing, Ningshuo, Kaiguang, Daning and other places, and completed the siege of Yinzhou.

Affected by Meng Ming's victory, Wu Cao of Suizhou changed his previous neutrality and sent troops to occupy Boping Pass, and there was a tendency to send troops south to copy Wen Shimao's back road, while Liu Wei, who occupied Shizhou, took advantage of the situation to pocket Pingyi, Shilou, Yonghe, Daning and other places, and crossed the river into Yanshui, Yanchuan, and Yan'an.

Wang Chong'an, who followed in the footsteps of Wen Shimao before the war, also took the opportunity to seize strategic points such as Jingangling and Luoyuan at this moment, and was strategically in a powerful situation of attacking, retreating, and defending.

No one has ever made Wen Shimao so embarrassed, Yang Hao did it, he stepped onto the peak of the glory of life in one step, the spring breeze is proud, the infinite scenery, the sad thing is that he doesn't feel the undercurrent under his feet at all,
