The enemy rode through the Taiping Mountain and left the valley on the east bank of the Han River, and went around from the south of Heishigou to the front of Pinglinbu, in order to avoid the main force of Liu Zhenzhi's troops who were intercepted in the line of Longzui Mountain, but they did not know that the wide valley in front of Tiesongxi was a trap to bury them here.

After confirming that the main force of the enemy's cavalry had been lured into the gap between Bird's Tongue Ridge and Heishigou, Liu Zhenzhi immediately made a decision and led the elite of the Third Brigade to attack from Longzui Mountain and pounced on the southern foot of Heishigou, blocking the rear road for the enemy's cavalry to withdraw from between Taiping Mountain and Heishigou.

Meng Ancian still didn't know the plan, and he was afraid that he would not easily give up the hope of breaking through and fleeing north from Tiesongxi at this time, but at the same time, he had to divide half of his troops and horses to retreat to the southern foot of Heishigou to intercept the Huaidong army that was attacking from Longzui Mountain; In this way, the 14,500 cavalry of Meng Anchan's department pulled out to the north and south lines, revealing their fragile flanks.

Although Meng Ancia deployed hundreds of cavalry in the mountain pass between the southern foot of the Bird's Tongue Mountains and the Taiping Mountain, guarding against Huaidong and ambushes coming from the east, compared with the 3,000 armored light cavalry led by Sun Zhuang from the forest valley at the southern foot of the Bird's Tongue Mountains, the enemy's soldiers scattered in the mountain pass at the southern foot of the Bird's Tongue Mountains, the vigilant soldiers and horses were too thin and careless.

A large force of cavalry rushed out of the mountain pass three or four miles wide, rolling up fallen leaves and flying like clouds, waving snow-bright swords in the sun that was rising to the corner of the mulberry, flashing with a deadly light, like the sparkling light of the vast ocean.

The hundreds of vigilant cavalry of the enemy soldiers at the southern foot of the Bird's Tongue Ridge were also bravely intercepted, riding horses and galloping over to fight, but the Huaidong cavalry rushed out one after another, and with a suppressive superiority in strength, before the enemy reinforcements arrived, they broke the enemy's guarded defense line at the southern foot of the Bird's Tongue Ridge, and like a strong wind, they swooped down on the enemy soldiers attracted in front of the Tiesongxi defense line;

Under the leadership of the brigade commander Liang Shou, the elite of the 1st Brigade rushed to reinforce on the order of Liu Zhenzhi, and rushed to Pinglinbu from the south of Zaoyang at the corner of the day, and after joining forces with Luo Wenhu and Chen Daozi, they immediately launched a counterattack from the cross slope, crossed Tiesong Creek, and cooperated with the cavalry battalion to fiercely flank the enemy on the south bank of Tiesong Creek.

Hindered by the terrain, Meng Anchan's troops were unable to give full play to the advantages of strong cavalry mobility. Meng Ancian and other enemy generals originally hoped to break through the defense line of Tiesongxi and then fled to Xinye, where did they think that Tiesongxi was a trap set by the Huaidong Army, from the hope of breaking through to discovering that this was a trap called the Huaidong Army, from the generals to the soldiers were panicked, and they inevitably despaired. In addition, the forced march for two days and the storming of Tiesong Creek for half a day have caused the soldiers' physical strength to be overdrawn to the limit.

Although the situation of the Huaidong Army may not be better, at this time on the local battlefield, the Huaidong Army occupies an overwhelming disadvantage in terms of troops, and it is the north and south to flank the tired enemy, that is, the Huaidong soldiers who were exhausted and tired on the ground before, at this time they are also struggling to get up from the ground, pick up swords and spears to cut off the heads of more enemy soldiers in order to fight for military achievements.

The enemy of Tiesongxi quickly gave Sun Zhuang and Liang Shou, Luo Wenhu, and Chen Daozi a joint attack from the north and south, and the enemy at the southern foot of Heishigou could not support until noon, and then collapsed.

Pursuing and destroying the enemy, his own cavalry battalion and the elite of the infantry battalion still had the remaining strength to carry it out, while Luo Wenhu was ordered to retreat to Tiesongxi and then build a camp for repair......

Although his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, and although Luo Wenhu's left shoulder was also traumatized by a stray arrow, he was able to live in such a great victory, and he was the victor, so that Luo Wenhu could not suppress his excitement - the haze in his heart since he surrendered was also swept away.

With 15,600 foot soldiers and 4,500 cavalry, the entire enemy cavalry team of almost 15,600 people was surrounded and annihilated in the area before Pinglinbu.

When he was in the Suizhou army, he didn't expect to be able to annihilate the entire cavalry team of fifteen or six thousand, and he never imagined that he could participate in such a great victory. To say that when he was in Lishan, he was still forced to join Huaidong in order to seek his whole body and the whole family, by this time Luo Wenhu couldn't help but be excited that the Huaidong Army could win such a great victory, and he was also excited that he could participate in it:

Only such a battalion is worthy of his own participation in the service, Luo Wenhu has a desperate desire to see Lin Lian at this time, to see what kind of hero he is, he can create such an iron-like army in less than ten years, and want to know what kind of strength he has made countless Huaidong brave generals willing to serve him in front of the army, willing to fight for him.

Luo Wenhu used to only think that Luo Xiancheng was a rare hero in the world, and the world could not reach him, but compared with Huaidong in Suizhou, Luo Xiancheng probably didn't deserve to carry shoes for Lin Xiancheng......

If it weren't for the medical officer who pulled Cao Peng over and dragged him to the wounded camp to treat the arrow wounds, Luo Wenhu would just want to stand on the top of the mountain forever and watch the mountains and valleys chasing and killing the enemy, and watch the ownerless war horses in the valley as dense as sheep waiting for them to capture them......

Luo Wenhu has kicked Luo Xiancheng in the poor countryside of Lishan over the years, how could he have had a moment of abundant materials now, excited and tearful - there are almost more than 20,000 war horses blocked in the south of Heishigou, Luo Wenhu only needs to think about it, he is so excited that his heart and blood soar, thinking that he can get hundreds of war horses after the war to enhance his combat strength.

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

In the first battle of Tiesongxi, almost all the cavalry of Meng Ancia was blocked in front of Heishigou and annihilated, which not only effectively killed the troops of Yanhu Yan, but also captured a large number of war horses to strengthen the cavalry camp of the Huaidong Army after the war.

The annihilation of the enemy under Meng Ancian also means that there is no longer a complete resistance to the enemy on the east bank of the Han River and in the area before Dahong Mountain, which will greatly accelerate the speed of the northward advance of the main force of the Huaidong Army on the southern front - Sun Zhuang did not go to join Liu Zhenzhi, nor did he go with his troops to chase and kill the enemy, to avoid Lin Tie scolding the battlefield after the war, he also retreated to Tiesong Creek to rest under the support of dozens of cavalry.

Luo Wenhu was in the tent of the wounded camp and asked the medical officer to sew up the injured left shoulder, Sun Zhuang lifted the curtain and walked in, signaling that he didn't have to stand up and salute, and said: "This battle, Luo Xiucai, you fought well!" ”

Luo Wenhu's arrow wound on his left shoulder was quite deep, although he did not hurt his muscles and bones, but he was busy directing the battle in the early stage, and his face was pale after excessive blood loss; The medical officer undressed his armor and cleaned his wounds with high-purity distilled spirit, before stitching him with needles and applying medicine.

Luo Wenhu also knew that he was playing well, but when he gave Sun Zhuang this praise, he couldn't help but grin - thinking that he regarded Sun Zhuang as not a grass coward, but at this time, he agreed with Sun Zhuang's leadership of him, and he would pay attention to Sun Zhuang's praise.

Luo Wenhu looked at the left shoulder that was wrapped in gauze firmly, and the left shoulder bent hard, feeling that there was no stinging pain when he started to wash the wound, and such an arrow wound seemed to be only a minor injury, and returned to Sun Zhuang with a smile: "If it weren't for Cao Joining's army and Chen Lvshuai's presence, I would have almost failed to hold on to the big thing, and it was really far from the elite of the Huaidong Army......

"If you dare to go into battle and watch the enemy horses rush and not retreat, it will not be too far away." Sun Zhuang said that he wanted Luo Wenhu to accompany him to visit the injured general.

Due to the heavy casualties of Luo Wenhu's troops, nearly half of the troops were reduced in this battle, Sun Zhuang asked Liu Zhenzhi to transfer all the medical officers under him, and temporarily set up the wounded camp on the north bank of Tiesongxi, and the wounded soldiers of other infantry and cavalry brigades were also gathered in Tiesongxi for treatment.

Although the battle of Tiesongxi was a great victory of total annihilation, and the rest was to pursue and annihilate the defeated troops who blocked the gap to flee east or north, but at this time, nearly 2,000 wounded soldiers were concentrated in Tiesongxi for treatment, not including the more than 400 soldiers who had died on the battlefield. The so-called killing 10,000 enemies and self-inflicting 3,000 losses is not bad at all.

However, Luo Wenhu also once again realized that the Huaidong Army was far stronger than the Exile Army.

When Luo Wenhu guarded Lishan, there was only one Lang Zhong in Lishan City who could take medicine for people and see a doctor, but when the business road was blocked, medicinal materials and iron salt became the most scarce materials in Lishan. If such a large-scale battle broke out, except for a few generals, the vast majority of the wounded would not be able to receive timely treatment. In a big war, the number of soldiers killed on the spot is always a small minority, and the majority of the soldiers die due to excessive blood loss or lack of effective treatment.

The generals and soldiers of the Huaidong Army all carry hemostatic wounds with them and can bandage them on their own, not to mention light wounds, the battalion sentry level is equipped with special medical officers with the army, and the town division level can set up an ambulance battalion on the battlefield that can treat thousands of wounded people at the same time. And the Huaidong military medical officer's method of treating external injuries is even more unprecedented, Luo Wenhu, who claims to be both civil and military, and has rough medical skills......

Although more than half of the troops of Luo Wenhu's department were reduced in this battle, as long as there is a period of time, as long as the wounded and soldiers who have experienced the bloody battle are treated and returned to the battalion, and some health and strength are replenished, the combat strength will inevitably have a significant increase compared to before the war. Unlike in the Wandering Army, due to the lack of medical conditions, a large number of wounded and soldiers will eventually be dragged to death, and the army can only fight weaker and weaker, and there is no way to fight stronger and stronger.

At this time, there was a commotion from the camp tent in front of them, Luo Wenhu and Sun Zhuang lifted the curtain and walked in, but they saw Tian Su, the leader of the captives, grabbing the collar of a wounded camp nurse and scolding her, and everyone else was scattered to watch the show. When the world army was still quite taboo for women to enter the barracks, the Huaidong Army had already recruited women on a large scale as wounded camp nurses, Luo Wenhu asked carefully to know that Tian Su secretly drank the medicinal wine to clean the wound to this five big and three thick nurses three times in a row before scolding, others just watched the excitement and coaxed, and saw Luo Wenhu accompany Sun Zhuang to come in before quieting down.

"I've never drunk such a good wine in my life, let me take another sip, you scold my ancestors for eighteen generations." Tian Su didn't notice that Luo Wenhu walked in with Sun Zhuang, and begged the nurse to give him the bottle with a shy face.

"Tian Su, don't be presumptuous," Luo Wenhu stopped Tian Su from drinking, and introduced to Sun Zhuang, "The soldiers who captured the soldiers who came over from Chengcheng killed twenty-one enemies one after another in front of the battle today, and the injuries on his body were not light, I didn't expect him to have the strength to steal wine and drink here, it's really a shame." ”

"It's really useless, the wounded wine in the camp asks you to steal a bite more, and you may save one less person," Sun Zhuang straightened his face, untied a tin pot tied under the armor, threw it towards Tian Su, and said, "Seeing that you have made war achievements today and are injured, I will not punish you, and this reward will ...... you."

Tian Su looked at Sun Zhuang's thick eyebrows and burly figure, and at a glance he knew that it was a military general that he couldn't reach, and saw that the tin pot he threw was as bright as silver, just as a silver kettle, shook it, listened to the sound of water inside, knew that it was wine, and asked others to look at it with envy in his eyes, he hurriedly got up and kowtowed to thank him: "General Xie appreciates wine, has drunk wine, who will return this precious silver kettle to the general?" ”

"Ignorant guy, this is a tin kettle, not a silver kettle, it's not precious, you can keep it," Sun Zhuang laughed and said, "Don't kowtow at every turn, Huaidong Army is not happy with this," and said to Luo Wenhu, "This guy, I like it." After the war, the army will select meritorious soldiers to go to the war training school to learn tactics and the art of war, and you remember to send him over......"

At this time, Cao Peng came over and said to Sun Zhuang and Luo Wenhu: "There is a military order from Huangzhou......"

Sun Zhuang and Luo Wenhu walked out of the wounded camp, he also knew a few words, took the military order and read it once, but a few words were unrecognizable, and returned it to Cao Peng, saying: "You say it again......"

"The main thing is to ask Liu Zhenzhi to lead his troops to build a camp at the southwest foot of Longzui Mountain and in the valley on the east bank of the Han River to rest, and make preparations for causing the water camp to go north and cross the Han River into Zhongyi and Xiangyang," Cao Peng said, "Although the main force on the Huangpi side said that the rout of the enemy south of Panpo is progressing smoothly, and the Chen Yan army has led the troops to capture Shicheng, but the main force of the water camp has not yet been able to enter the Han River, and it will take three or five days before it may go north……”

Liu Zhenzhi led his troops to build a camp on the bank of the Han River, and formed a triangular military deployment with Fancheng and Zaoyang to blockade the east bank of the Han River, and in addition to supporting each other, they could also form a river-crossing deployment in Fancheng and Longzui Mountain at the same time to threaten the enemy on the west bank of the Han River, so that the enemy on the west bank of the Han River had to disperse a part of their forces between Xiangyang and Zhongyi to prevent the Huaidong Army from directly crossing the river and attacking its tail.

"You can't beat Chen Zhihu this time!" Sun Zhuang frowned and said regretfully.

"Not necessarily, when the main force of Huangpi comes, if Chen Zhihu doesn't know about the interest and fights back, then knock out one of his teeth." Cao Peng said.

"Chen Zhihu may not be so ignorant." Sun Zhuang said.

The main force of Chen Zhihu's department will all enter the Nanyang Basin after tomorrow at the latest, and there will be 60,000 soldiers and horses north of Xinye at the convergence, and even if Cao Ziang leads the main force of Chaishan soldiers and horses to arrive, they will only have 40,000 soldiers and horses south of Fancheng, which is not enough to form a force advantage to immediately march north to recover Nanyang; We can only wait for the main force of the Huaidong Army on the southern front to come and converge.

Luo Wenhu sighed secretly: The overall situation on the east bank of the Han River has been decided, Yan Hu can no longer turn the tables on the east bank of the Han River, although Luo Xiancheng said that there are still fifty or sixty thousand soldiers and horses in Lishan, but as long as the main force of the Chaishan ambush moves west to Zaoyang and stabs the hilly belt connecting Tongbai Mountain and Huai Mountain, Luo Xiancheng will lose the last chance to retreat to Tongbai Mountain.

Luo Xiancheng couldn't advance or retreat at this time, except for sitting still, Luo Wenhu couldn't imagine what else he had to retreat......

Huaidong had not given Luo Xiancheng a chance before, and Wang Xiang had always persuaded Luo Xiancheng to surrender to Huaidong, but Luo Xiancheng not only did not cherish the opportunity given by Huaidong to surrender, but instead joined Yanhu with the luxury family at a critical moment, which became one of the main reasons for the fall of Nanyang and the killing of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians; At this point, Huaidong is powerful, and it is easy to extinguish Luo Xiancheng's remnants at the northern foot of Huai Mountain......
