Zhao Guangyi's children's trick was successful, when the Song army concentrated 800 people who dared to die to rush to the beachhead, Yang Shui and Sun Zhen were organizing soldiers to kill out of the camp, ready to repeat the old trick and annihilate it in one fell swoop, the pontoon bridge of the Song army swayed down and successfully stuck on both sides of the river, the soldiers on the pontoon bridge immediately nailed countless piles of different lengths into the water, the length was just right, the pontoon bridge connected by iron chains, ropes, and wooden wedges was successfully fixed before being broken by the rolling Yangtze River water, and countless Song army soldiers who had been waiting for it were constantly rushing across the river along the pontoon bridge.

As soon as the defenders saw that the Song army turned the impossible into a possible miracle, their morale was suddenly lost, and the Song army was like a rainbow, driving straight in, although Yang Shui and Sun Zhen struggled to support, they couldn't resist it, and they died for a while, surrendered, and fled, the defenders were defeated, and the quarry rock fell.

Zhao Guangyi was dressed in armor, holding an iron rod and stepping onto the east bank of the Yangtze River, looking around, full of spirit.

The general asked, "Chitose, do we occupy the Tang army camp and wait for General Cao to arrive?" ”

Zhao Guangyi smiled proudly and said: "The soldiers are fast, and since they have crossed the river, they should gallop and attack Jinling." burned the Tang Army's water village on fire, ordered the three armies, and set off immediately. ”

The generals followed the order, leaving a group of men and horses to guard both sides of the Yangtze River and protect the pontoon bridge, and the other horses immediately assembled and rushed forward without stopping.

This pontoon bridge can not be broken, if there is no pontoon bridge, as soon as the Song army crosses the Yangtze River, it is a battle against the water, can only win, can not be defeated, if the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is impossible to avoid its edge in a strategic detour. Moreover, the Tang people were strong and clear, and all the grain and grass were transferred to the big city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the pontoon bridge was broken, then the Song army could only fight with hunger, so although Zhao Guangyi was as anxious as an arrow from the string, he did not dare not pay attention to this lifeline.

He left Yang Haiqing and Zhu Yuming behind, led his troops to defend the pontoon bridge, and personally led the remaining 50,000 horse infantry mixed troops to rush forward without stopping.

Outside Wuhu City, Cao Bin received the news that Zhao Guangyi had broken through the Yangtze River and went straight to Jinling, and his general Hao Sicheng said worriedly: "King Chitose of Jin is rash of the enemy, if there is any mistake, it will be bad if the commander of my three armies is broken, we might as well abandon this Wuhu City and rush to join the King of Jin, right?" ”

Cao Bin pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "The 100,000 Tang troops at Hukou are unharmed, and they will definitely chase after them." If the defenders of the cities along the way are still there, which can not only echo them, but also provide them with food and grass to carry their burdens, then copy our back road, and it is better to cut off these wings as much as possible. As for King Jin......"

Cao Bin smiled slightly and said: "Since the death of Lin Huzi, the Tang Kingdom has no good generals, and the Jin King is the elite of the forbidden army, and the generals under his command are all experienced in a hundred battles, so there is no need to worry if they don't encounter a strong enemy." ”

Hao Sicheng frowned and said, "But ...... Let's go all the way to the city, when will we be able to join forces with King Chitose of Jin? That would be contrary to the plan of the officials to join forces and advance in unison before sending troops. ”

Cao Bin said with a smile: "On the battlefield, it is changing rapidly, how can you be stubborn. Listen to my orders and hasten the siege. ”

Hao Sicheng couldn't persuade anymore, so he had to obey his orders and rushed to the city to command the siege.

Cao Bin stood on a high place, looked in the direction of Jinling, and said to himself thoughtfully: "King Jin is anxious, he can't wait for me, let alone wait for me now, I'm still more interesting, when King Jin attacks Jinling City, let's meet him again......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ news that Yang Hao was still alive had been sent by Zhao Guangyi to report the news to the capital.

Yang Hao's death and vice life is based on his self-reported experience, which was drafted by the clerk Chang Hui after finishing and polishing, and Fan Ruoshui was also mentioned in the report, making this great achievement, an official family is indispensable to him, although Fan Ruoshui suffered for two years on the Yangtze River, but one step to the sky, and got the achievements that others may not be able to have after 20 years of hard work.

Yang Hao didn't have the reason to return to Beijing by Zhao Guangyi, and the battle situation in Jiangnan was undecided for a day, so I was afraid that Zhao Guan's family was not in the mood to think about the affairs of the northern country, so he had to stay with Zhao Guangyi for the time being.

The political situation in Jiangnan is erosive, the morale of the army is low, Li Yu has no ambitions, the only good general who can withstand a battle, and can slightly extend the resistance time was also killed by him with a simple discord, Tang State was pacified by Song State is an inevitable end, Yang Hao now only hopes that this war that has been doomed will end sooner. As long as there is one day left here to be a war zone, there will be more displaced victims and people who died in the war, and the sooner the Tang State is destroyed, the court's policy of appeasing the people and the peace of mind can be reduced one day earlier, and he can also return to Bianliang one day earlier.

Following Zhao Guangyi's side, he did not waste this good opportunity, and he fully understood and fully studied how the forbidden army moved, how to fight, marched and arranged, grain and straw transportation, military morale, and even the offensive tactics and defensive means that he was good at.

The direct experience gained from the war is more practical than the knowledge gained from books. Following Zhao Guangyi's side, watching him discuss with the generals, giving orders, commanding the battle to cross the river, watching him receive military information, remotely commanding several other battles, condescending, overlooking the overall situation, and mastering a lot of tactical experience.

When he couldn't retreat, he was forced to choose to advance as retreat, and fight the world for the unknown country, but even though he had many favorable conditions to stand out in the northwest, he didn't dare to be careless about the future. The future has become unknown, and although he still remembers and is still useful for future generations to objectively evaluate the strength of all parties and the gains and losses of the war at this time, he understands very well that it will not be his magic weapon to win.

What the scholars of later generations understood, the soldiers of this era really did not understand? No, they understand better than anyone else, and no one knows their enemies better than them, and they know their strengths and weaknesses better, but understanding does not mean that they will be able to solve them, and they can only choose the most suitable choice for them according to local conditions, rather than the most suitable choice for the objective evaluation of history.

Since he became a part of this world, in this labyrinth, he can only follow all the rules here, and use all the objective conditions here to act, instead of relying on a little experience to guide his behavior. Moreover...... Is it objective and the most accurate conclusion that future generations will reflect on and summarize from the perspective that everything has ended? That's hard to say.

When he is in the middle of it, adapting to his knowledge of history, the reactions and choices of his opponents will change in response to his actions, and the evaluations and analyses based on established history will become useless experience from the time he takes the first step.

For example, if he already knows the gains and losses of both sides in a certain battle in history, and then he travels through time and space and enters this battle, can he become a god of war? That's just the fantasy of an ignorant boy. When he stepped into this war game, if he couldn't dominate the battle, he could only be cannon fodder, and even if he knew the future well, he couldn't change the outcome.

But what if he could be the boss of a side and let him make some changes to the impending mistakes? So will the other party still mechanically follow the original routine? The other party will also change due to change, and what he originally mastered is no longer useful. This is like a boxer, standing in the audience and watching the two boxers compete on the stage, he can see clearly who misses the defeat on the stage, and also analyzes the head of the way, but let him go back in time and replace the loser on the stage, he only takes advantage of one punch at most.

From the moment he changes his style of play and takes advantage of the first punch, the opponent's reaction will change accordingly, and it is impossible to go according to what he already knows, unless his punch has completely knocked the opponent down, otherwise he can only rely on strength to continue fighting, his foreknowledge will be useless, all the calculations he has prepared will be invalid, if he is still stuck in that point of analysis of the fait accompli to act, then he is a boxer who mechanically plays tricks in front of his opponent, and he will die a more ugly death than the original loser.

Therefore, he must take every opportunity to learn and master, the future trend is no trace, he has no cheats to open a cheat, he can only rely on his own intelligence to work from scratch.

"Your Excellency." Mu Yu rode to his side, and Yang Hao praised: "The forbidden army is well-trained, and tens of millions of people are like one person, marching like a moving steel city, and it is really good." ”

"yes!" Mu Yu's gaze swept over the surging procession, and he asked in a low voice, "My lord, if we have possession of the Northwest Land, it will one day...... Will there be a war with them? ”

"I hope not, if there is, it should also be a fight and ......peace," Yang Hao sighed lightly: "If I have to, I don't want to have a war with them." The king wants the minister to die, the minister chooses to die of old age, I fake my death to get out, this is the purpose, but unfortunately the success is lost. If you ...... later, The king forced his ministers to die......"

"What about your lordship?"

Yang Hao was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "That minister has to put the king ...... Kill first! ”

Mu Yu was proud when he heard this, clenched the blade at his waist, and said with a blushing face: "Xiao Yu swears to follow the adult!" ”

Suddenly a horse in front of him was galloping towards him, and Yang Hao hurriedly said, "Silence." ”

The knight on the horse planted a triangular red flag on his back, galloped on his horse, and hunted in the wind, as soon as he saw the red flag on his back, the soldiers gave way where he passed, and the horse plowed through the steel torrent of the forbidden army like riding the wind and waves, and ran until Zhao Guangyi dismounted under the banner of the handsome word, and hurriedly walked forward, and said on one knee: "Report, there is a Tang army galloping ahead." ”

Zhao Guangyi reined in his war horse and asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming?" How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

The probe said: "There is a Du character on the handsome banner, and then look at its origin, it should be the Tiande army from Moling Pass, which is all Yu Hou Du Zhen's department, and all the troops are foot soldiers, about more than 10,000 people. ”

Zhao Guangyi looked up to the sky and laughed: "There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, and they dare to come to die?" Hahaha, the herald ordered the three armies to advance quickly, and gave this king a flat run! ”

"Chitose and slow."

The forbidden army commanded Lu Yelan to hurriedly stop the trumpeters who wanted to shake his order, galloped in front of Zhao Guangyi and said: "Lord Wang, our army has just forcibly crossed the river, although the sergeant is brave, but his physical strength is not without fatigue. Now the Tang army rushed to the aid of Moling Pass is only more than 10,000 people, and they dare to rush to meet our army, obviously they only know that the quarry rock is missing, but they do not know how many of us have crossed the river, and they did not expect that we have not done a rest and have been on the road, and now they are in danger of meeting each other. In this case, why bother fighting, we might as well take a step back, make an ambush in advance, and kill him by surprise, so as to reduce the casualties of our army, and we can gather and annihilate them, lest they see that the situation is not good and flee in all directions, and it will take a lot of effort to chase and annihilate them. ”

"Well...... what the army lord said is reasonable."

Zhao Guangyi, who has already crossed the Yangtze River, is not so urgent, and this Lu Yelan is a senior general of the forbidden army, and he is the target of Zhao Guangyi's recruitment, so he can't help but pay attention to what he said, and Lu Yelan's analysis is very reasonable, if you can reduce your own casualties, why not?

Zhao Guangyi immediately ordered the three armies to stop advancing, the rear team changed to the front team, and ran back, there is a big lake more than 30 miles north of Quarry Rock, called Cihu, not far west of Cihu Lake is the Yangtze River, Zhao Guangyi sent Wu Xufei to lead 8,000 foot soldiers to wait for Du Zhen on the road to Quarry Rock, and he and Lu Yelan each led 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at both ends of the narrow section between Cihu Lake and the Yangtze River, waiting for Wu Xufei to feint defeat and introduce Du Zhen's 20,000 horses into this dead land.

In the grass, Yang Hao was lying there hiding his whereabouts, and suddenly heard a sound of ropes, and Fan Xiucai crawled over. Yang Hao said hello to him lazily, Fan Ruoshui knew that he was a red man in Zhao Guangyi's eyes, and he was the Bole who introduced him, and when he saw him, he showed a little affection: "Yang Zuo Envoy, in the past, Fan only knew that the Song army was well-trained and could fight habitually, and today he knows that the reputation is not worthy, the soldiers and horses of the Song State will be strategic, brave and brave, how can the Tang ** team be an opponent?" Du Zhen only has more than 10,000 people, and the 50,000 army of Chitose still needs to fight, even if he pounces on them and crushes them to death, Chitose is so cautious, who will win if such an army does not win? ”

Yang Hao was a little ashamed of the character of this official fan, so he smiled lightly: "On the battlefield, the time, location, people, morale, and strategy are the keys to the victory or defeat, but not that more people will definitely win the battle, throughout the ages, it is not impossible to win more with less, or even 800 to break 100,000 battles, it is good to be cautious." ”

Fan Xiucai smiled dryly: "What the left envoy said is that Fan doesn't know soldiers, and he is laughing and generous." ”

Yang Hao smiled faintly, he was lying bored, and someone could speak, so he said: "What kind of person is Du Zhen who came to help, do you know?" Although he has few soldiers and horses, as soon as he hears the warning signal of Quarry Rock, he can rush to help regardless of life and death, and he is also a rare general who makes a quick decision. ”

Fan Ruoshui said: "I have lived in Quarry Rock for three years, and I know a little about the nearby garrisons and generals. There are two guards of Moling Pass, one is named Zheng Yanhua, who is the commander of Moling Pass, the official to the festival envoy, resourceful, a Confucian general, and has a sailor of more than 10,000 people under his command. The other is Du Zhen, the official residence is Yu Hou, is the first general under Zheng Yanhua, brave and good at fighting, Zheng Yanhua sent him, obviously also understands that once the quarry rock falls, his Moling Pass will not be able to hold it. But what if he sent troops to help? ”

Yang Hao sighed with emotion: "Yes, although some things in this world have changed, but some things cannot be influenced or influenced by one person, it will come after all, and the fate of the Tang Kingdom is already doomed." ”

Fan Ruoshui didn't know where his strange emotion came from, and he was confused when he heard it, so he just laughed and laughed.

Yang Hao changed his posture and asked casually, "Who else is in Mr. Fan's family?" ”

Fan Haoshui sighed: "Parents, wife and children are here, alas, in the past three years, Fan has abandoned his family and business, left his parents and wife and children, and lived on this quarry rock, he is really ashamed of them. ”

Yang Hao joked: "It's so good, Mr. Fan should remember what your parents, wife and children have done for you." In the coming days, high-ranking officials have to be done, horses have to be ridden, although they are happy and new, they can't get tired of the old, be a hated Chen Shimei, haha......"

"That's what adults teach." Fan Xiucai was overjoyed: "Uh...... It's just that I don't know who this hated Chen Shimei is? ”

"Ahem, he, he's from my hometown...... No, it's not right......"

Yang Hao, who was about to talk nonsense, suddenly tightened his eyebrows, and Fan Ruoshui said nervously: "What's wrong with the adult?" ”

"It's not that I'm wrong, it's that Du Zhen, the Moling guard, is a little wrong."

Yang Hao frowned, thought hard for a long time, and suddenly stood up: "Where is Chitose, where is Chitose?" ”

The soldiers who were ambushing suddenly saw a person standing up, and was about to scold, but he recognized him as a cronie of King Chitose of Jin, although some people did not know his identity, but they had seen him riding a horse beside King Jin, and King Jin spoke to him kindly, talking and laughing, and did not dare to reprimand at the moment, and hurriedly pointed out where he was, Yang Hao picked up his robe, and ran over with his waist bent.

Zhao Guangyi was looking at the enemy situation in the distance behind a low slope, Yang Hao rushed to the back of the low slope, crouched beside Zhao Guangyi, and said hurriedly: "Chitose, Xia Guan suddenly had a doubt, so he hurriedly came to report Chitose, please refer to Chitose." ”

Zhao Guangyi is very polite to Yang Hao now, he was originally an official from his own Nanya, at that time, the people had a strong local concept and a strong factional concept, and the officials in the court and the central government could feel close to the gang because they were fellow villagers, or protégés of the same science and branch scholars and the same teacher, not to mention the officials who came out of his mansion, plus Yang Hao brought a picture donor, so that he could cross the river smoothly without relying on the navy, and he was even more overjoyed, and asked with a pleasant face when he heard it: "What doubts does Yang Zuo have to say?" ”

Yang Hao recounted the news he had just inquired from Fan Ruoshui, and said: "Chitose, if what Fan Ruoshui said is true, then there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses in Moling Pass, and it is very suspicious that Zheng Yanhua recklessly sent half of his men to help. Chitose think, since Zheng Yanhua is resourceful, then even if he doesn't know how many men and horses we have, but he at least knows the news that there are 20,000 garrisons in Quarry Rock and our Shuizhai camp. We are the attackers, and the number of troops should naturally be a lot more than the defenders of Quarry Rock, Zheng Yanhua is so relieved, take out half of the capital to squander, will you be sure that you can recover Quarry Rock? ”

Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and his face gradually became gloomy.

Yang Hao said again: "Moling Pass is not an extremely difficult place to attack, even Fan Ruoshui, a talented man who doesn't know how to fight, knows that Quarry Rock has been lost, and Moling Pass has no danger to defend at all, and it will fall, will Zhang Yanhua not know?" He is so concentrated on defending with all his strength, either abandon the city and flee, or he should go out to rescue Quarry Rock, the army is weak, and he has to divide the troops, is this kind of military taboo like a resourceful general? ”

Zhao Guangyi's eyes flickered, but he calmed down and asked, "So, what does Yang Zuo think he has in mind?" ”

Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Half of the defenders of Moling Pass are sailors, half of them are foot soldiers, Du Yu Hou Du Zhen is leading the foot soldiers to meet me, that half of the water army, is it still in Moling Pass?" ”

Zhao Guangyi's face changed, and he said word by word: "Sound east and west, destroy my pontoon bridge?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Although Zhao Guangyi's use of troops may not be as veteran as Cao Bin and Pan Mei, but he is decisive in killing, and he does have the style of generals, although Yang Hao's doubts are only a possibility, Zhao Guangyi did not dare to be careless, and immediately divided 10,000 troops, so that Yang Hao and the forbidden army were all Yu Hou Yaoliu to return to Quarry Rock for reinforcements.

Yaoliu is very young and light, with a vigorous body, a resolute expression, a young face, a pair of firm eyes, and an ash rod hanging on the victory hook, which is rare and has a little charm when he first saw Luo Ke's enemy.

This place is not far from the quarry, the two led the troops to hurry up, Yang Haiqing and Zhu Yuming frightened, and thought that the king of Jin was defeated so quickly, as soon as he heard Yang Hao's words, the two generals were also cautious, and hurriedly sailed out the warships captured in the Tang army's water village, and set aside along the Yangtze River, and did a good job of vigilance.

The warships of the Tang army Shuizhai are very sharp, if they can take the initiative to attack, the battle situation will never be the situation today, but it is a pity that they have already been afraid of the prestige of the Song army, and they have been ordered by Li Yu to clear the wilderness, hold on to the danger, and never take the initiative to fight, so that they lost the fight, and now they are used by the Song army.

Before long, the clouds covered the sun in the distance, and sure enough, a naval army came with a mighty sail. The Song troops on both sides of the strait, which had already been prepared, immediately entered a state of battle, stretched out their bows and arrows, and waited for the battle, and the front of the ships on the water were dozens of small boats, which were full of firewood and grass, and the sails were dropped, and as soon as the enemy ships arrived, they lit a fire and went down the river to burn the enemy ships; although the rest were not good at using ships or water warfare, under the cover of the archers on both sides, they also concentrated their warships as much as possible, leaned closely together, and were ready to swear to block the enemy's bridge.

The person who came was Zheng Yanhua, the guard of Moling Pass, Zheng Yanhua made Du Zhen lead the foot soldiers to help, and he also personally led the sailors to come, abandoned the Moling Pass and set out, the goal is this pontoon bridge that made the quarry rock water army fall in Dazhai, this pontoon bridge is too important, as long as the pontoon bridge is in, the Song army can advance and retreat, can send countless troops across the Yangtze River continuously, can transport countless grain and grass across the river, so that the Song army can move forward bravely, without worries, so it must be destroyed, no matter how much it costs.

However, when he arrived in a hurry, the arrows on both sides of the strait were like rain, and dozens of small boats with tongues of fire gushing down the water, and the Song army had already prepared for it, and the sneak attack battle turned into a positional battle. At this time, Wu Xufei met the 10,000-strong army of Du Zhen of the Tiande army, feigned defeat and fled, and successfully introduced them into the encirclement.

For a time, the flags were unfurled, the trumpets were in the sky, Du Zhen's department had the Yangtze River in the west, Cihu Lake in the east, and Lu Yelan in the south.
