Tong Erdan did not realize the seriousness of the problem, and although Tian Chang hesitated, thinking that the Huaidong Army would not be untargeted, he could not see through where the doubts were.

In their opinion, the Huaidong army set up a suspension rope to cross the river at night, and it was only using the ordinary hemp rope; The Huaidong army first sent an outpost to lurk over, tied the hemp rope to the giant trees on both banks, and hung it on the river valley.

Although the Huaidong Army will deploy a large number of bed crossbows and scorpion scorpions to block the rivers upstream and downstream of the suspension cable and prevent naval warships from destroying the suspension cable, the role of bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows is not unlimited.

First of all, the accuracy of the bed crossbow and the scorpion crossbow is actually very low, and it can only be used to the maximum extent when shooting at large targets such as dense enemy formations or city walls. I really told a man to stand there, three hundred paces apart, and shoot with a bed crossbow, only one or two out of ten; Throw with a scorpion crossbow, and you may not be able to hit one out of ten stone bullets.

The ships were made of thick wood and canopies, which had a strong protective effect on bed crossbows and ordinary scorpion crossbows.

Although the Huaidong heavy stone-throwing crossbow can cause structural damage to warships, the heavy stone-throwing crossbow is generally used for fixed purposes such as smashing city walls, and if it is used to attack fast-moving warships in the river, the accuracy will be pitiful.

The Huaidong military suspension cable crosses the river, the efficiency is also slow, and the suspension crossing people can, but if you want to cross the Han River with a suspension cable, it is unsatisfactory.

The combat power of the Huaidong Army is strong, but it is stronger than two places, one is that the generals dare to fight, and the other is well-armed.

Scorpion crossbows, fine iron bed crossbows, each weighing more than five or six hundred catties or even more than a thousand catties, these weapons in Huaidong, caused great setbacks to the Zhejiang, Fujian and Northern Yan armies, Tian Chang, Tong Erdan thought that it was impossible for the Huaidong army to transport these heavy and sophisticated weapons to the south bank through the suspension cable......

Tian Chang and Tong Erdan first led 3,000 soldiers and horses of Ma Tuhai's department to march along Shilongling to Shanmen Rock, and rushed to the periphery of Shanmen Rock at the corner of the day, only to know that the matter was much more serious than they expected.

In fact, during the march, Tian Chang received three times, each more severe, and each time more and more heartwarming:

First of all, a reconnaissance force of about 60 horsemen and horses sent by the Qiangu camp of Miaotanling was ambushed by the Huaidong Army on the periphery of Shanmen Rock in the early morning, and lost nearly half of the men and horses.

The second is to send a naval ship from Gucheng to the place of the incident, but when it arrived at the place of the incident, it did not expect that the suspension rope would be 14 or 5 zhang high from the river after it was straightened. Under the sealing of the bed crossbow on the north bank of the Huaidong Army, the ship was not accurate enough, and there was no way to stop in the turbulence and directly reach to destroy the suspension cable. Although rockets were fired indiscriminately, it had no effect, and the ships had to withdraw to Longzhong downstream, avoiding the bed crossbows of the Huaidong army on the north bank, and they had to wait for the Xiangyang and naval forces to send high-masted warships from the lower reaches to arrive, and they had to be delayed until after noon at the earliest.

The third is that in the early morning, the soldiers and horses of the Huaidong army lurking on the south bank attacked the Huyatan outpost in the early morning, and 15 guards were annihilated......

The situation was far more serious than imagined, hearing that the Huaidong Army had sneaked to the south bank to occupy Huya Beach, Tian Chang felt a chill down his spine, and he could almost guess what the intention of the Huaidong Army was in this rush operation!

Shanmen Rock and Huya Beach are less than four miles apart, separated by gentle slopes and dense forests, these two places seem not far apart, but it is definitely not the Huaidong Army that can control them at the same time if they rush over three or five hundred people!

More importantly, Shanmen Rock is located at the west foot of Miaotan Ridge, Huya Beach is located at the east foot of Shilongling, and the middle is the slope valley between the two mountains......

Tian Chang failed to directly attack Shanmen Rock, but at the corner of the day, more than 300 Huaidong troops had occupied Guanyinjian at the eastern foot of Miaotan Ridge, blocking their passage to attack Huya Beach or Shanmen Rock.

Tian Chang made Ma Tuhai lead his troops to attack the tip of Guanyin, but if the tip of Guanyin was not lower, he could not hit the Huya Beach and Shanmen Rock behind him.

Guanyinjian is a broken ridge at the eastern foot of Miaotan Ridge, the terrain is not connected with Miaotan Ridge, isolated in the slope valley, only more than 20 zhang high, although there is also a certain precipitous, but the Huaidong army that enters Guanyinjian is only 300 people, there are 3,000 soldiers and horses with Tian Chang, nearly ten times the strength advantage, enough to overcome all the obstacles on the terrain, and the Huaidong army has just entered Guanyinjian, and has not had enough time to use the terrain to establish enough defense.

Tian Chang asked Ma Tuhai to personally lead the team to press in front of Guanyin Jianshan, and at one time sent 600 armor soldiers with large shields to suppress the attack from the pine forest in front of the mountain, and to tear the Huaidong army that vainly tried to occupy Guanyinjian to pieces with absolute superiority of soldiers and horses - Tian Chang and Tong Erdan straddled and sat on horseback, and commanded the battle on a huge rock less than a mile away from the foot of Guanyinjian Mountain.

The cold wind was howling, and there were already snow particles falling from the hazy sky, but it did not affect the battle.

Tian Chang could clearly see the situation of the subordinates suppressing the attack on Guanyinjian, everything went smoothly at the beginning, and the sharp arrows that the Huaidong army shot intermittently from the forest could not break the protection of the big shield, so that the six hundred soldiers could suppress the face and climb the slope, and constantly approached the Huaidong army that organized the defense in the forest.

But somehow, the soldiers and horses on both wings of the slope stopped halfway up the mountain, and more than a dozen people at the front suddenly tripped and fell to the ground, telling the Huaidong army to take advantage of the chaos in the forest to shoot a few people - tripping horses, thistles? Tian Chang's mind flashed these two things in an instant, and he secretly cursed the attacking generals for being waste, and he couldn't detect such simple obstacles, and asked the Huaidong Army to shoot several people in vain.

Tian Chang was calm, looking at the battlefield, and could see that there was still a gap of more than ten zhang wide in the middle that was not affected.

In this case, the generals should slow down, gather in the middle, shrink up to prevent the Huaidong Army from counterattacking from the mountains, send people to clear the obstacles on both sides, and then attack upwards if they can stabilize their positions-

Because the camp in front of Miaotanling sent scouts and horses as early as early in the morning, although this scout was ambushed north of Guanyinjian and suffered nearly half of the casualties, more than a dozen people always monitored the area between Miaotanling and Shilongling.

Tian Chang knew that the Huaidong army had only occupied Guanyin Peak half an hour earlier than them, and he was extremely surprised to see that the Huaidong army was able to set up an obstacle belt four or five hundred steps wide with tripping horses and thistles in the forest.

If it's just a tripline, thistle terrestris and other obstacles, it's easy to clear!

Perhaps the attacking soldiers were also puzzled by the obstacles on the two flanks, and the battalion general who was responsible for pressing the forward attack hesitated, and did not immediately order the generals to gather in the middle or disperse to the two flanks.

Tian Chang was so angry that he cursed, and was about to send someone to question Ma Tuhai what his battalion general was eating, when the Huaidong army soldiers rushed out violently from the gap reserved in the middle.

Four or five flying contradictory cars rushed down from the pine forest to the Huaidong soldiers, and from a distance, they knew that these four or five shield cars were much heavier than usual, and down the slope, Tian Chang watched his department use a shield array formed by more than a dozen large shields to overturn the shield car of the Huaidong Army at the gap - where is this shield car, it is obviously a powerful iron rush car!

The shield array could not be used to block the impact of the Huaidong army, and the soldiers who stopped at the edge of the pine forest hesitated and did not shrink to the middle in time, and the weak defense line at the gap in the middle was almost called to kill the Huaidong army that rushed out in the blink of an eye.

Tian Chang's face was ugly, Ma Tuhai was a descendant who had followed him for more than ten years, although these three thousand soldiers and horses were not the most capable elite under his command, they were also better than other level generals, but he didn't expect to fight so badly, making him extremely shameless in front of Tong Erdan.

Seeing that Ma Tuhai was barely able to gain a foothold at the foot of the mountain, he used bows and crossbows on both wings to block the mouth of the Huaidong army's direct impact on the foot of the mountain, so that the soldiers who were scattered halfway up the mountain could retreat and re-form the formation; Tian Chang beat his horse and galloped to Ma Tuhai, scratched his eyes, and scolded: "What kind of hell battle are you fighting, embarrassing people......

"The mountains and woods are full of this kind of iron wire, and there are thistles in it," Ma Tuhai showed Tian Chang a wire that had been twisted from the middle of the mountainside, and complained, "The cunning of the Huaidong army is too much for him and his mother, so he left a wide gap in the middle, and the shield cars they used, from the front shield to the frame, were made of fine iron, and the spearhead was cast on the shield plate as if it were rooted." Tian Shuai, you also saw that the Huaidong Army was condescending, and with this trick, he rushed down from the gap, and he couldn't stop it at all below! ”

Tian Chang gasped, more than 300 Huaidong soldiers guarded in the south of Guanyin Jianshan, it seemed that the slope in the south of the mountain was relatively slow, in fact, these 300 Huaidong soldiers intended to use this slower slope to repeatedly rush and kill the soldiers and horses who suppressed the attack...... But the wire handed over by Ma Tuhai shocked Tian Chang even more.

At that time, there was a Zozi Armor, and iron wire was not a rare thing, but in Tian Chang's impression, the craftsman made the Zozi Nail to pull the iron wire for no more than one or two feet, and the iron wire handed to him by Ma Tuhai was six feet long......

The Huaidong Army was able to transport the heavy shield wagons cast of fine iron to the south bank, and the wire used by the Huaidong Army to wrap the trees was far longer than imagined - according to the description of the soldiers who had dispersed, the forest about three or four hundred steps wide was wrapped with a whole wire, and it is no wonder that the Huaidong Army was able to use the wire to wrap a tree as a stump to make an obstacle in such a short time.

"How do you fight this mountain?" Ma Tuhai smacked his lips and complained, "You can't tell the brothers to fight for their lives!" ”

Ma Tuhai was still thinking about how to take down Guanyinjian, but Tian Chang was thinking about something else: if the suspension cable erected by the Huaidong Army between the valleys on both sides of the river was this kind of wire, the situation would be much more deadly than expected! This thought made Tian Chang's forehead ooze a layer of sweat under the sparse snowflakes!

Tian Chang stood stunned for a moment, and then thought of breaking the wire in his hand four or five times, twisting it into a rope, throwing it to the ground, and pulling out a knife to cut it.

Tian Chang's saber is naturally a rare sharp blade, if you don't hesitate to use the knife, the finger-thick iron bar can be cut, but this broken wire is cut five or six times in a row......

"General Tian is saying that the suspension rope erected by the Huaidong Army may be this thing?" Tong Erdan is not stupid after all, Tian Chang's abnormal behavior also made him think of the key point, this rope made of broken wire on the ground to take the blade will be cut five or six times in a row, if it is suspended in the air, there is no place to borrow power when chopping, if you want to cut it, I am afraid that it will be ten times or a hundred times more difficult!

If the suspension rope erected by the Huaidong Army could not be burned or cut off, wouldn't the Huaidong Army continue to send troops and horses to the south bank?

Tong Erdan thought of the powerful and fatal places, and he was also stunned.

"Leave two battalions of soldiers and horses for you, and you will form a formation at the foot of the mountain, staring at the enemy of Guanyinjian, but you must also guard against another Huaidong army from the Shanmen Rock to kill you......" Tian Chang stared at Guanyinjian with Ma Tuhai, and he and Tong Erdan led the other three battalions to reorganize the soldiers and horses, go around the Guanyin Jian, pierce into the inside, cut into the Guanyin Jian and Huya Beach, climb on the Moshi cliff less than two miles away from the Han River and look north, where is the suspension between the dragon claw rock and the Shanmen rock, it is obviously a suspension bridge that is only half paved by the trestle!

The Huaidong Army is going to pave a suspension bridge directly between the river valleys on both sides!

Tian Changsuo's position is Shanmen Rock, which is a little more than three miles away, and you can see the suspension cable erected between Shanmen Rock and Longclaw Rock, and you can also see many four or five hundred people of the Huaidong Army deployed in the south of Shanmen Rock - I didn't expect that before the Huaidong Army actually laid the suspension bridge, thousands of people had crossed through the suspension cable!

And since the Huaidong Army can transport the heavy iron cast shield car to the south bank, it must not be short of bed crossbows, scorpion crossbows and other weapons, think about the comparison, Tian Chang led his troops to hurry over, and the advantage of troops made the Huaidong Army's sophisticated weapons completely suppressed!

At this time, Wu Ya and Lin also received Ye Ji Luorong's military order, and led 2,000 soldiers and horses to rush from Qiangu Military Valley.

Wu Ya and Lin stopped at the south of Guanyinjian, and he rushed to meet Tian Chang at the Moshi Cliff under the support of Hu Cai, and said: "On the order of Prince Mu, and Lin came to call General Hou Tian's dispatch, is it to let He Lin first lay down Guanyin Jian...... between the words is to look down on Tian Chang's descendants and horses and call Guanyinjian the three hundred Huaidong army entangled.

"Don't care about the enemy of Guanyinjian, General Helin, you immediately come in and attack Shanmen Rock, if you can't take Shanmen Rock, you and I will be covered by the disaster!" When Tian Chang gave the order, his hands and feet trembled a little.

Even if the warships can come in time, they will quickly cut the suspended iron cables directly on the water, which can only attack Shanmen Rock from the front, take this end of the suspension bridge of the Huaidong Army, and block the Huaidong Army on the north bank!

Wu Ya is a nobleman of Yandong, Tong Er Danzhi and Lin may not be convinced by Tian Chang's command, let alone ignore the threat of Guanyinjian's enemy behind the flank, and directly ask him to fight with all his strength to storm Shanmen Rock?

Tong Erdan explained the seriousness of the problem to He Lin slightly, and said: "It is a matter of the survival of the soldiers and horses on the south bank, and General Tian's order needs to be implemented immediately......"

At this moment, a carriage came from the south, and when he got closer, he saw Hu Zongguo stumbling over from the carriage.

"Hearing the news that the Huaidong Army is fighting Huya Beach, Prince Mu is very worried, the ambition of the Huaidong Army is not small," Hu Zongguo climbed the cliff, gasping for breath to explain the reason why he rushed over, his eyes were not as good as Tian Chang's, his vision was blurred, and he asked Tian Chang: "Is the Huaidong Army building a bridge?" ”

Tian Chang nodded, his hands and feet were cold, in his field of vision, the Huaidong army on the north bank had already paved the trestle bridge to Shanmen Rock, and on the dragon claw rock on the north bank, a team of Huaidong soldiers were ready to cross the river by bridge......

The three-hundred-step wide suspension bridge, the naked eye can see that the Huaidong Army has dozens of soldiers laying pallets on the bridge, if you pass a team of Huaidong soldiers at a time, it takes half a cup of tea work, that is to say, the Huaidong Army can project thousands of soldiers to the south bank in an hour!

"There's no time to hit Shanmen Rock," Hu Zongguo's despair in his heart was no weaker than Tian Chang's, and only then did he fully understand why the Metropolitan Governor did not have the heart to flee north in Huangpi, and the Metropolitan Governor was completely desperate in Huangpi! No matter how desperate he was, he couldn't give up, Hu Zongguo was weak in his hands and feet, and he continued to advise Tian Chang, "Quickly withdraw all the soldiers and horses and withdraw to the south of Guanyinjian; It would be great if the ships that came downstream could destroy the suspension bridge; If the suspension bridge cannot be destroyed, we can only use all means and do everything possible to suppress the Huaidong army crossing the river to the north of Guanyinjian, and we cannot let them gush out of this gap......"
