(I suddenly found that I only took one day off this month, and the code words exceeded 200,000; I found that I was so diligent, ask for a red ticket! ）

Tian Chang and Tong Erdan broke through from Guanyinjian and fled to Cao Chongzhai at the southwest foot of Shilongling, and when they joined Ye Ji Luorong, who led troops from Gucheng to help, there were only four or five hundred remnants of cavalry around them, and they were in shock.

"Hu Zongguo!" Ye Jiluo Rongqiang suppressed the irrepressible anger in his heart, stared at Tian Chang and Tong Erdan with a pale face, and asked where Hu Zongguo's people were.

Tian Chang and Tong Erdan looked at each other and were speechless.

When breaking through from Guanyinjian to the southwest, Hu Zongguo's carriage fell into the pit and subverted, and Hu Zongguo and his people were upside down on the carriage; Hu Zongguo did not have a few personal guards around him, at that time, Tian Chang and Tong Erdan were far away from Hu Zongguo, and they had no time to rescue, and before Hu Zongguo struggled out of the carriage, the Huaidong Army had already caught up from behind, and Tian Chang and Tong Erdan could only abandon Hu Zongguo and break through to the southwest.

What matters at the moment is not the life and death of Hu Zongguo, but the battle of Guanyinjian was so desolate, from Guanyinjian to the south to the north slope of Jingshan Mountain, the Huaidong army was called to take it, if Guanyinjian could not be recaptured, the passage between Gucheng and Xiangyang would be cut off.

A full 5,000 soldiers and horses called the Huaidong army, which was less than 2,000 to cross the south bank, and was defeated, and only a few hundred remnants fled back to Cao Chongzhai, and also called Wuya and Lin and Hu Zongguo and other generals to die on the battlefield......

Ye Ji Luo Rong Tie blushed, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, climbed the Hengfeng at the southern foot of the Shilong Mountains, and went east from Cao Chong Village, all of which were routed, and called the Huaidong army to kill in the back.

Because the valley from Cao Chong Zhai to the east is sandwiched between the northern foot of Jing Mountain and Shilongling, which is quite narrow, at this time it is called to fill up the rout, and Ye Ji Luo Rong personally led the reinforcements to Cao Chong Village, there is no way to cross the Nanhe River to intercept the Huaidong army, so he can only clean up the rout in Cao Chong Zhai first, stabilize the position and then fight to the west.

The Huaidong army did not rush to the east bank of the Nanhe, but stopped the pursuit at the east entrance of the canyon and shrank back, but there were a large number of routs near Guanyinjian that could not be killed.

The suspension bridge erected between Longclaw Rock and Shanmen Rock is still only a one-way way to the south bank, and there is no time to send prisoners of war to the north bank; The south bank can face the enemy's frantic counterattack, and the manpower and horses are particularly scarce, and it is impossible to spend manpower for the guards of the prisoners of war.

The enemy generals Wu Ya and Lin led their subordinates to dismount and fight, but the war horses were concentrated in a col on the south side of Shanmen Rock, and they did not have time to withdraw, so Liang Shou led people to capture them, and immediately picked more than 200 cavalry soldiers, and slashed and killed the rout in the south of Guanyinjian.

Chen Wei stood on the huge rock on the top of Guanyin Jianshan and said to Liang Shou: "Tell these turtle sons to be leisurely, and give Lao Tzu to immediately retract back to the south of Guanyin Jian." Tian Chang is in the west, and it is possible that he will not be able to work, but Zhou Fan in the east is an old turtle in the urn, and he is afraid that he will not accept his fate easily, and he will struggle hard, and then it will not be so easy......"

“…… The enemy soldiers were not so quick to react. Seeing that Pogu was full of routs, and at this time he shrank his troops, and Liang Shou was a little unwilling.

"These routs haven't been cleaned up all day, don't be verbose," Chen Yan glared at Liang Shou, "Leave those two hundred people behind the mountain to practice equestrianism, and the people and horses on the periphery will be withdrawn for me, and they will form a formation in the south, and the trench that should be dug will be dug up for Lao Tzu, and the fence wall that should be erected will be erected for Lao Tzu, and he can't hold the tip of Guanyin, and if he doesn't tie the mouth of Xiangyang to Gucheng, he will kill the two or three thousand defeated soldiers in front of him, and they will not be worth a fart!" ”

The snow particles fell on the face, but the mountain was trampled by the defeated soldiers and the pursuing soldiers, and the snow could not be accumulated, only the treetops in the mountains began to white; Luo Wenhu also stood on the tip of Guanyin and looked left and right.

After the enemy soldiers were defeated, they fled in all directions, and even if there were no enemy troops approaching on the periphery, they would not be able to clear them for a while. At present, more important than to defeat is to block more than 60,000 enemy troops of Zhou Fan, Tong Ruilin, Pujieshi and other troops to the east of Shilongling and unable to flee westward - this is also the main purpose of crossing the river to lock the throat.

Miaotan Ridge and Shilongling are the remaining veins of the northern foot of Jingshan, and the northern slope of Jingshan respectively form two sections of canyons, is the necessary place for Xiangyang to Gucheng, the width is only three or four miles, the narrow place is only two or three hundred steps, but between the two mountains form a gap in the waterfront semi-basin terrain.

This gap was the throat where more than 60,000 enemy soldiers who were still stranded in Xiangyang fled westward, and Chen Yan led his troops to cross to the south bank in order to change the choke point and make it impossible for the enemy soldiers in Xiangyang east of Shilongling to flee westward.

Guanyin Jian is located in the center of this gap, standing at Guanyin Jian to the south, you can see the lofty mountains and mountains on the north slope of Jing Mountain at a glance, just six or seven miles away, and Xianggu Post Road is less than five miles away from Guanyin Jian; There is an unnamed stream hanging down from the northern slope of Jingshan Mountain, flowing from the west side of Guanyinjian and flowing into the Han River.

Under Chen Yan's order, the soldiers on the periphery began to shrink to the open land south of Guanyinjian, and the Huaidong army soldiers who kept walking the trestle bridge also bypassed the east side of Guanyinjian and entered the position on the east bank of Qianxi.

Although the wire rope suspension cable can also bear two or three thousand catties of heavy objects at a time, it is always inconvenient to transport the shield car, bed crossbow, scorpion crossbow and other war weapons made of fine iron to the south bank through the suspension cable. At this time, the trestle bridge was paved, and the enemy naval warships had not yet been able to come to disturb the attack, and the bed crossbow, scorpion crossbow, shield cart and narrow carriage carriage could directly and continuously walk the trestle to the south bank to strengthen the defensive position south of Guanyinjian......

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

When it was about to dark, the warships of the enemy Xiangyang and the navy finally arrived from downstream, but a total of 4,000 soldiers of the Huaidong army had already crossed to the south bank by suspension bridge.

Although the pier would face a direct attack from the enemy ships, the crossing of the river was interrupted.

The bed crossbow on the direct water surface of the cliff bank is also a giant arrow loading trough, "click" on the twisted string, and after the bed crossbow array, there are more than a dozen heavy stone-throwing crossbows and a larger number of scorpion crossbows, on the right wing of the dragon claw rock, in the upper reaches of the trestle, more than a thousand soldiers are sweating heavily to push a section of the trunk weighing more than 1,000 catties, or even thousands of catties onto the cliff bank.

Once the enemy ships approached, these thick tree trunks flowed down the turbulent current, and their destructive power against the enemy's ship formation was no weaker than that of bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows.

Sometimes simple traditional tactics can be very useful.

Obviously, the enemy army also knew very well that if the trestle bridge was not destroyed for a day, the Huaidong Army would continue to send troops, horses and materials to the south bank, so that its soldiers and horses in Xiangyang would never open the gap and escape westward.

Under the bombardment of bed crossbows, scorpion crossbows, stone-throwing crossbows and giant trees on the north shore, more than a dozen enemy ships still braved their lives to swim upstream from the downstream and approach the trestle; If the mast is not high enough, tie the long pole to the mast, throw the oil tank made by the Huaidong Army to the trestle, or hook the trestle rope with an iron hook, and let the boat go down the water, which is bound to drag the trestle down!

It has to be said that the tactics used by the enemy army are quite effective, the pallet laid on the suspension bridge is stained with fire oil, and the water cannot be extinguished, and the Huaidong soldiers cannot go to the bridge to put out the fire at this time, and they suddenly fall into a sea of fire.

Although the strength of the wire rope is far greater than that of ordinary hemp rope, the enemy ship is hooked on it, and several warships are pulled downstream together, bearing the drag force of tens of thousands of catties, and several wire ropes are still broken immediately, and large pieces of pallets fall apart and are dumped into the water.

Of course, the enemy army is not much better, sixteen warships came against the current, because they wanted to destroy the trestle bridge, they were forced to stop in front of the crossbow array in Huaidong for nearly a tea time, and immediately called the Huaidong army's heavy stone-throwing crossbow to smash and sink three with stone bullets weighing more than 100 catties, almost none of the ships did not hit the fire oil tank in Huaidong, and more than a dozen enemy ships ignited a fire, and the Han water under the twilight was hideous and terrifying.

The canopy and side of the ship were riddled with holes under the crossbow formation on the north bank, and hundreds of sailors called for crossbows and crossbows on both sides of the strait to shoot and kill.

The enemy ships were all on fire and had to retreat downstream until the fire was extinguished.

Although the trestle bridge was destroyed, only five of the thirteen suspension cables used to pave the bridge were destroyed. Watching the enemy ship retreat, the Dragon Claw Rock side quickly pushed the giant bed crossbow that shot the rope onto the Dragon Claw Rock, shot the rope to the opposite bank, and quickly pulled up several wire rope suspension cables between the Dragon Claw Rock and the Shanmen Rock to make up for the suspension rope that was broken by the enemy ship.

Since a batch of pallets was also transported from the south bank, it was faster to lay the pallets from both sides to the middle.

The Huaidong Army had long considered that they could not control the Han River for the time being, and the suspension bridge might be destroyed by the enemy, so they had already prepared a large number of wire ropes and trestles to prepare for a war of attrition.

The speed at which the Huaidong army repaired the suspension bridge at night only made the enemy look desperate, and before the enemy naval warships pounced again, after the Huaidong army repaired the suspension bridge, it had already crossed half a battalion of armor to the south bank......

The enemy soldiers in Xiangyang obviously did not want the Huaidong Army to gain a foothold on the south bank and completely block its way to flee westward.

The enemy attack was crazy and desperate, and the trestle was destroyed three times in the night, but by early morning, the trestle was once again repaired, hanging between the dragon claw rock and the mountain gate rock, as if the battle of last night had not happened at all.

The river valleys and mudflats downstream of Dragonclaw Rock are full of broken shipwrecks and ambushed corpses that have fallen into the water with crossbows on both sides of the river.

The enemy transferred more than 50 warships from Xiangyang downstream, about half of which were directly sunk in the Han River downstream of Longzhuo Rock, and the rest were also half-crippled, like remnants of soldiers, drowning for a breath. For a while, there was no spare strength to storm the trestle bridge that had been laid upstream.

Fortunately, the Han River in the Longclaw Rock section is extremely deep, and it is not directly blocked by sunken warships, which is why the Han River channel in the Longclaw Rock section has become narrower, less than half the width of the early days. The blockade of the Huaidong bed crossbow on the north bank was more clear, and almost every bed crossbow was aimed at the way the enemy was going to go; Enemy ships will have to pay a greater price at a time to approach the trestle.

The enemy's attack on the Huaidong Army south of Guanyinjian from the land at night was also in vain, and the enemy dropped nearly 3,000 corpses from both flanks, but failed to make the Huaidong Army south of Guanyinjian shrink back by half an inch.

On the contrary, in the gap between the enemy naval warships attacking the suspension bridge, nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Huaidong Army supplemented the south bank, making the defense position south of Guanyinjian more unbreakable, and completely blocking the more than 60,000 enemies in Xiangyang to the east of Gucheng and unable to flee west.

At this time, the suspension bridge was repaired again, and the naval warships did not have the spare strength to launch another attack from the downstream, watching the Huaidong Army seize every moment to transport soldiers, horses, and materials to the south bank, and supervise the battle at the southwest foot of Miaotanling, Zhou Fan's heart was full of despair.

Compared with not being able to break through the blockade of the Huaidong Army, Zhou Fan was more worried that Ye Ji Luorong and Tian Chang would abandon them and leave.

A letter from the east of Xiangyang said that Huaidong's navy in Longzui Mountain also anchored and marched north in the morning, intending to take advantage of the fact that Yang Xiong's navy guarding the Han River in Xiangyang was losing troops and ships in front of the Longclaw Rock, and forcibly broke through the evil ghost waterway and entered the Han River west of Xiangyang.

Yang Xiong's navy destroyed thirty or forty warships at Longclaw Rock overnight, losing nearly 2,000 men and horses, and Zhou Fan doubted that his troops were still capable of resisting the entire elite Huaidong navy that was killed from downstream......
