Ye Xiaotian originally had 18,000 soldiers, but in fact, when he arrived at the eastern front of Hailongtun, his total strength had already exceeded 20,000 because of the use of war to feed the war. Such a huge army is said to be gone, leaving only 2,000 people, which is very risky under normal circumstances.

However, Ye Xiaotian is in charge of the Eastern Front, and the Eastern Front has been completely solved by Ye Xiaotian so far, and his task has been successfully completed.

Moreover, before the troops left Loushan Pass, Ye Xiaotian had already greeted Liu Dadao, and he would solve the eastern front of Banzhou alone, and he would not be responsible for other tasks.

Ye Xiaotian has made great efforts and made great contributions to breaking the river and breaking the Loushan Pass, and he is the only foreign aid from Guizhou in the Sichuan Front Army.

What's more, Ye Xiaotian not only made a huge contribution before, but also had a very close relationship with Liu Dadao, and there were many people who beat the water dogs and grabbed the last credit, so that Ye Xiaotian, who was in his prime, withdrew at this time, which can be described as a rapid retreat, without any commanders or generals of the First Route Army to criticize, but secretly praised him for his interest and did not compete with himself.

Ye Xiaotian's hands are exquisite, long-sleeved and good at dancing, and he has gained all the face, and he has made a lot of money. So much so that later Luo Tycoon always praised: "Everyone says that I Luo Tycoon can do business, but in fact, my eldest brother is really good at business!" Compared with him, I don't use these methods at all! ”

Ye Xiaotian solved the eastern front smoothly, made a lot of money, and farted so much that he rushed to Hailong Hoard. And Liu Dadao led the main force of the Ming army, and at this time, he had broken the green snake hoard and Haiyun hoard, and the troops had reached Hailongtun.

Because Ye Xiaotian had noticed the drop in the water level when he went to Hailong Hoard last time, he informed Liu Ting in time that Liu Dadao was not stationed in the low-lying valley. Instead, the troops were stationed in the Dragon Claw Hoard, the Green Snake Hoard and the Haiyun Hoard that were captured by him, and at a glance it looked like a protracted battle.

Ye Xiaotian led his troops to arrive, and immediately rushed to Haiyun Hoard, where Liu Dadao's troops were stationed. Here and the sea dragon hoarding face to face, when the wind is down, the sound of shouting on the opposite side of the mountain can be heard clearly, but close to the end of the world. If you want to go to the opposite mountain, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

The main generals of the various armies had arrived, and Liu Ting immediately convened an operational meeting of the armies of all sides. Ma Zongbing said: "The sea dragon hoard is steep and steep, it is difficult for birds to cross, it is difficult for spirit apes to climb, if you attack head-on, the casualties are incalculable!" ”

Liu Ting frowned and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "A frontal attack is absolutely not advisable!" ”

Wu Guang said: "If we besiege and not attack." What about the depletion of rice grain on the mountain? ”

This man had been transferred from the interior and did not understand the situation in the Tuguan area. Liu Ting was a very familiar friend with him when he was in Guangdong, so he didn't speak, just glanced at him, Wu Guangda was displeased, and said in a rough voice: "Hey! I said Lao Liu, what do you mean? ”

Ye Xiaotian explained: "Tuguan, all the grain. All are collected by themselves. This Yang Yinglong is the first toast in Banzhou, and the food hoarded by Hailong is afraid that he will not be able to eat it for ten years. And there are springs and land on this mountain. If you cultivate the land, raise pigs and sheep......"

Wu Guang's old face turned red, and he said curtly: "I see! In this case, this method must not be used. ”

Liu Ting thought for a long time and said, "Give up the front, General Ma, you look for a place that you can barely climb from the wings." Build a boardwalk and pave a path to climb up the mountain! As for the other armies......"

Liu Ting slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "Concentrate on attacking the rear hoard, and all the soldiers and horses will fight one day and one way, taking turns." Don't let the defenders of the mountain have a moment to rest! ”

Ma Qiancheng was stunned and said, "Give up the front?" What if Yang Yinglong breaks through? ”

Liu Ting glanced at him and smiled coldly: "I'm still afraid that he won't break through." Once he leaves the Sea Dragon Hoard, the world is so big, where can he flee? ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Boom, boom!"

One hundred and twenty tiger squatting cannons, and the next time there was a deafening roar.

Liu Dadao gathered the cannons of the Ming army from all walks of life, a total of more than 400 guns, but the terrain in front of the mountain was narrow and could not be arranged, so the cannon was also divided into four wheels, and the people did not stop, and the cannon did not stop, intending to completely defeat Yang Yinglong with wheel warfare.

Because of the narrow terrain of Houho, there is no room for more than 200,000 troops, so the Ming army will have to take the turn of their main attack every seven or eight days to still be stationed in Qianho, and the army that will be replaced tomorrow will be stationed outside Houho Mountain, and only the main attacking troops will be active in Houho Canyon.

The sea dragon hoarded, and every time the cannon sounded, Yang Yinglong, who was standing there, twitched in his heart. Although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, and he could no longer reverse it.

Tian Nufeng stood beside him, silently looking at the clouds of smoke rising from the mountains, I don't know if it was smoked by gunpowder, and her eyes were a little red.

"For a while, they can't attack!" Yang Yinglong strengthened his tone: "Let's go back!" ”

Tian Nufeng didn't move: "Heavenly King, we should delay their time as much as possible." ”

Yang Yinglong stood up and looked at Tian Henfeng.

Tian Nufeng said: "Every day that passes, the Ming army consumes tens of thousands of taels of silver, and if it drags on for a long time, the court can't bear it, and this army has to be withdrawn if it is not withdrawn!" ”

Yang Yinglong said: "That's nature! Therefore, I have given a death order, from the foot of the mountain, layer by layer of fortification, every dangerous place of the defenders, can only be killed, not half a step back! This mountain is extremely dangerous, I want to see how many lives he Liu Dadao can carry! ”

Tian Nufeng said: "This is naturally as it should be, but you might as well have more means." ”

Yang Yinglong said suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

Tian Nufeng said: "Surrender!" First send people to surrender, and then send people to attack the camp. They want to outmaneuver me, and we can't make it easy for them. ”

Yang Yinglong thought for a while and nodded slowly: "Make!" ”

A waterfall between the mountain streams turned into a silver-white horse, and smashed heavily into the canyon hundreds of feet deep. On top of the cliff, some people dressed as local soldiers are beating the rock wall with chisel hammers, nailing into iron nails the thickness of big fingers, and laying planks on the plank road piece by piece.

Mr. Ma put his hand on the canopy, looked up at the towering stone wall, looked back at Ye Xiaotian and said, "Lord Ye, thanks to you!" This mountain is too steep, thanks to your people are good at climbing, if Ma Mou does it alone, I am afraid that every day there will be soldiers who fall into the mountain stream and break their bones! ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "General Soldier Ma is polite, he is loyal to the country, how can he divide each other." What's more, General Soldier Ma is benevolent and generous, and has outstanding prestige, and Xiao Tian has long wanted to make friends with the general. It is an honor to fight alongside the general today. ”

Ma Zongbing was slapped by him, patted Ye Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said: "People often say that the Tusi in Sichuan and Guizhou is higher than the top, and the emperor is the eldest and his second, and he never puts me and other officials in his eyes. You are very different from those people, I like it very much, you are a friend, Ma has made a deal! ”

While the two were talking, a lieutenant hurriedly came and said happily: "Lord Commander! Good news, Yang Yinglong committed suicide, and Mrs. Tian San sent someone to surrender to us! ”
