Meteor cannons, flying thunder cannons, and pine cannons form layered strikes; Rely on fortifications to deplete the enemy on defense, forcing the enemy to fight a decisive battle on a narrow battlefield......

After the battle, the shock was huge, especially Yang Miaozhen and his subordinates.

At this time, they understood the deep meaning of Meng Jiucheng asking them to study first and then lead the troops.

Fortunately, Yang Miaozhen, Wang Min and others gave their soldiers death orders in advance, and they would rather die than retreat, and supervised the battle strictly, and finally nothing happened that made them feel ashamed.

The air was still filled with the smell of nitrate and blood, and Yang Miaozhen rode slowly on the battlefield, but a pair of wonderful eyes never left the figure in the distance.

Meng Jiucheng galloped over the horse, and did not restrain the horse's head until he got closer.

They looked at each other with a smile on their faces, and an indescribable affection.

"Miaozhen." Meng Jiucheng opened his mouth first and smiled heartily, "I don't see you for a day, like every other three autumns." That's a good thing to say, I've tasted it. ”

Yang Miaozhen's face flushed, glanced at Meng Jiucheng, swallowed back all the words of greeting and concern, and said angrily: "If you don't talk well, I won't come to see you next time." ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled, cheekily walked side by side with Yang Miaozhen, and told his fiancée about the battle of Gaoqiao Town.

Yang Miaozhen gradually replied with disgust, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the consumption of so many golden soldiers in Gaoqiao Town, I would have to fight more time and have more casualties today!" ”

"This can be regarded as the elite of the Jin Army, right?" Meng Jiucheng asked uncertainly, "How is it better than the Flower Hat Army?" ”

Yang Miaozhen thought for a while and said, "It's a little worse, right?" The riding skills and martial arts of the Flower Hat Army are still very powerful. ”

O cavalry! Meng Jiucheng nodded, still not having much confidence in fighting with the cavalry.

"But-" Yang Miaozhen looked at Meng Jiucheng's appearance, and then said: "Even if the Flower Hat Army wants to attack Gaoqiao Town, if it is blocked on this official road, it will also be defeated." ”

"Miaozhen-" Meng Jiucheng looked at Yang Miaozhen and said with a smile: "Are you comforting me?" Actually, I'm not that scared of the Flower Hats. Our great enemy is the Mongolian army, and this opponent really gives me a headache. ”

"Mongolian army?" Yang Miaozhen was a little puzzled, thought about it, and nodded: "The Mongolian army is indeed very powerful, and the Jin army lost its armor and abandoned it. But for us, it is still a matter of the future to confront the Mongolian army. ”

Well, in fact, it won't be long after.

Meng Jiucheng didn't say the details, but instead discussed with Yang Miaozhen to rectify the people and horses, and went to attack the matter of Yan Yan's arguments.

One of the two Jin armies that copied Muling Pass has been wiped out, and Wanyan is advancing towards Muling Pass from the east, like a lone army.

If they can fight with Li Quanquan in front and back, and the Red Turban Army dispatches five or six thousand men, it will have a great hope of victory.

If Li Quan does not send troops, the deployment will have to be changed, and without tens of thousands of troops, Meng Jiucheng is not ready to fight hard with Wanyan.

And the current situation is very favorable, Meng Jiucheng immediately sent someone Pegasus to deliver a message, ordering Wang Zhongfeng and Han Shouzhong to lead the army to besiege Anqiu and fill the gap in the Jin army's southward movement.

It's not just as simple as filling the gap, as soon as Anqiu is finished, the people who have finished the false arguments will be cut off from retreat, and the prospects will be bleak.

Of course, the actions that are being carried out now are all based on the premise that Li Quan can hold the Muling Pass. It not only blocked the main force of Anzhen, but also put the men and horses who were in a state of being flanked.

For this reason, Meng Jiucheng sent a letter to Li Quan, in addition to telling him that the Jin army copied from the back had failed, in order to stabilize his army's morale, he also sent thirty stone throwers.

It's not always so reassuring to put your hopes in others. Meng Jiucheng stationed 5,000 men and horses in Gaoqiao Town, and stepped up the construction of fortifications to prevent the Jin army from moving south after breaking through the Muling Pass.

Men and horses were reorganized, the dead and wounded were placed, ammunition was replenished, and preparations were made in full swing before two days were ready for another battle.

And news also came from Li Quan's side, and the messenger brought some belongings, as well as Li Quan's letters.

Li Quan expressed his gratitude to the Red Turban Army for their support, although he was a little suspicious of the Red Turban Army's annihilation of the Fusan Liujia, and then his opinion on the false theory of the flanking attack.

"The soldiers do not go out of the pass, they must hold on to the danger, so that they can stop the soldiers under the pass, and wait for their fatigue ......"

Meng Jiucheng handed the letter to Yang Miaozhen, touched his chin and pondered.

It seems that although Li Quan's department has tens of thousands, he has no confidence in fighting with the Jin army in the field. Of course, they have been defeated and suffered many losses, and it is understandable that they have this kind of fear and stability mentality.

It's just that in this way, the Red Turban Army can only dispatch about 6,000 troops, and even if it can win, it will inevitably suffer a lot of losses.

"So cowardly, he didn't dare to lead his troops out of the customs and attack." Yang Miaozhen immediately expressed his disdain for this, "If our army sends troops, it is very likely that it will fight alone and will not get the cooperation of Li Quan's department." ”

Meng Jiucheng smiled and said: "The righteous army was defeated by the Jin army in the field battle, and there is fear under repeated defeats, which is also something that cannot be helped. In that case, let's gather the generals again and discuss how to act! Anyway, we have to make a move, and we can't let Li Quan be defeated so quickly. ”

Yang Miaozhen also knew that Muling Pass, as a barrier, played a great role. However, Li Quan politely refused the Red Turban Army's request to send troops into the pass to assist in the defense, obviously not trusting enough.

"I don't dare to go out of the customs and attack, and I don't let us send troops to help, it's really short-sighted." Yang Miaozhen ordered his own soldiers to gather the generals, and complained in his mouth.

Meng Jiucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly, there was no good way. This is one of the shortcomings of the rebel army, not to mention that they are not subordinate to each other, and they are still wary of each other.

But the whole situation is still biased in favor of the Red Turban Army, as long as it can survive this attack of Susan Anzhen, from the whole winter to the beginning of spring next year, Fusan Anzhen will not be able to launch it again.

Next year, the Mongol army will occupy the central capital of the Jin dynasty (present-day Beijing) and tentatively attack the Jin state after the capital has been moved.

The Jin State lost nearly 200,000 troops in the Battle of Zhongdu, and the entire north was even more critical, and it had to concentrate troops and resources to resist the Mongol army's attack on Henan, and was no longer able to provide reinforcements to the war in Shandong.

Shipped heroes are not free. At that time, no matter how powerful Anzhen is, she is also a little daughter-in-law who has no rice.

Well, it doesn't have to be until then. Anzhen was already overstretched now, and did not have enough troops and food to launch a continuous attack, and did not have the strength to pursue and sweep the scattered rebels.

Moreover, in terms of supporting Li Quan and containing the Jin Army, it is not only the Red Turban Army.

Maybe he really understood the truth of the cold lips and teeth, maybe he tasted the benefits of joint operations, or maybe he took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Jin Army had no time to take care of other things, Liu Erzu, Peng Yibin and other rebels were also taking action.
