Liu Chengzhi paused, and then said: "Besides, Liu Xingzhi used troops strangely, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve the goal of returning to the army." ”

Li Xiuqi nodded and said, "The best strategy at the moment is to let Lau have to save and change the formation, so that Master Xiang Wuji can defeat Lau in one fell swoop by pursuing!"

Liu Yan said: "Attacking it must be saved, only the soldiers are approaching Jinling, so crossing the river is the biggest problem!"

Liu Chengzhi said: "This battle to cross the river is related to the success or failure of the entire war, and it cannot be ignored. ”

Zhang Shuwu has served in Jiangnan for a long time, and knows the terrain best, so he said: "The bridges here have been blown up, only consider erecting their own pontoon bridges, and the most suitable place to erect pontoon bridges is on the opposite side of Jiangyang Fortress, not only the water is shallow, but only a hundred zhang wide, but Jiangyang Fortress can garrison 50,000 soldiers, and the bows and arrows are complete, I'm afraid it is not easy!"

Liu Chengzhi looked back at Zhang Shuwu, saw that he was deep in thought, and said, "General Zhang, do you have a good plan?"

Zhang Shuwu said: "I have something to report to the young master alone!"

Liu Chengzhi was overjoyed in his heart and said, "In this way, we will discuss separately after a while!"

At this time, in the Huchi grassland on the border between Karasuma Province and Goju Province, there was an argument between the generals of the Koshu Buji military camp.

Norton Hu Qi, the first military general under Ge Shu, came out and said: "Lord, at present, I have been fighting with the remnants of the Great Jin Dynasty on this grassland for a year and a half, and there is no progress at all, Liu Jinnan is indeed a generation of heroes, and his subordinates feel that it is better to temporarily withdraw the army at this time and find another way out!"

Goshu Wuji pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder if General Norton is referring to it?"

Norton Hu Qi said: "The minister recently obtained information from Jiangnan Province, Liu Jinnan's second son Liu Chengzhi and Li Longxun are fighting fiercely, and the Yunli army has taken the lead, Li Longxun has been occupied by the Yunli army except for Jinling and Zhenjiang in Jiangbei. ”

Geshu Wuji smiled faintly and said, "I have long known that Liu Jinnan's son is not a thing in the pool!"

Norton Hu Qi said: "But Liu Shiingshen, an old opponent, still has 300,000 troops, stationed between the two armies of the Chengzhi Army, so Liu Chengzhi has not won a complete victory, at this time, if we wave the south finger, there may be an unexpected joy!"

Goshu Buji was happy at first, and then fell into deep thought.

One of the strategists of the Geshu army, Zhang Shuwen, known as "Little Zhang Liang", came out and said: "My lord, I am afraid it is not appropriate to withdraw the troops south at this time!"

Geshu Wuji said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't know what he thinks?"

Zhang Shuwen said: "Our army and Liu Jinnan have been working hard for a long time, and the battle formations are intertwined. At this time, the sudden withdrawal of the army, the morale of the army will inevitably fluctuate, and the formation will also be disordered, Liu Jinnan is like a god with his troops, if he suddenly launches a blow, I am afraid that the foundation that we have fought hard will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

Geshu Wuji immediately said: "What Mr. Zhang said is reasonable, this is also what I am worried about!"

Zhang Shuwen said: "Your Majesty has a plan, or it can achieve the best of both worlds, but the risk is very large, I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Geshu Wuji was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Zhang, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

Zhang Shuwen said: "At this time, there is no famous general guarding Jinling, and the number of soldiers is only 20,000, we might as well send a general, lead 100,000 horses, surprise soldiers, and take Jinling directly, and we will definitely be able to play a good job!"

Geshu Wuji glanced at the place where the generals were standing and said, "I wonder which general is willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"

I saw a black-faced and bearded man stand up and say, "The last general is willing to go!"

Geshu Wuji looked at it, put his mind at ease, and said, "It's so troublesome for General Li!"

This big man's name is Li Qiuren, and he is one of the few famous generals under Geshu's account, and he has played an important role in Geshu Wuji's victory in the Central Plains.

Three days later, 100,000 cavalry from the Geshu army began to march south.

Ten miles south of the Huchi Grassland, there is a gorge that runs from Karasuma Province through the Central Plains to Gangnam Province, where it is the nearest route. It didn't take long for Li Qiuren to lead his troops through the canyon.

Due to the slender length of the canyon, Li Qiuren asked everyone to be careful and pass as soon as possible. At this time, they did not notice the presence of a group of soldiers above the canyon.

I saw Liu Jinnan appear at the front of the troops, holding a golden bow in his hand. He used his eyesight, swept down, and saw where Li Qiuren was. So he took up his great bow, drew three arrows, and fired three arrows in succession. The three arrows were like wind and thunder, and they took Li Qiuren directly.

Li Qiuren is also a generation of famous generals, when he heard the wind was wrong, he looked back and saw three bows and arrows shooting at him. Hurriedly picked up the long knife in his hand and stepped forward.

Only a "bell" was heard, and the first arrow was blocked, but Li Qiuren's tiger's mouth had cracked, and blood flowed. Soon, a second arrow also arrived in front of him. The second sound of the "bell" shook the big knife in his hand away. At this time, Li Qiuren only felt numb all over his body, and he couldn't move.

With a "whoosh", the third arrow hit Li Qiuren's temple, his eyes were dark, he only heard a "pop", fell to the ground, and knew nothing.

Liu Jinnan saw that Li Qiuren had been killed by three arrows, so he ordered his men to attack.

Li Qiuren's troops saw that the commander was dead, and they were in chaos, and after a while, they were all disarmed by King Wucheng's troops!

At this time, Liu Jinnan stood on top of the hill and silently recited in his heart: "Zhi'er, my father can only help you get here, and then it's up to you!"

Yangjiang traverses Jiangnan Province and Yangjiang Province. Yangjiang in Jiangnan Province divides the eight prefectures in Jiangnan into two, with Jinling and Zhenjiang in the north and Zhuzhou, Ganzhou and Mianzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are six bridges in the south of the Yangtze River in Yangjiang, among which the location of the Jiangyang fortress is the most suitable for building bridges because the water flow is straight, the river is not more than 100 zhang, in addition to Jiangyang, Jiangnan Province has also built bridges in five places such as Houkeng, Wuyi, Suining, Siyan, and Goumeng.

At this time, the 50,000 archers in the Jiangyang fortress were waiting solemnly, and Liu Chengzhi knew that it was difficult to get down in a hurry. Therefore, 100,000 soldiers were lined up in Wuyi and began to erect pontoon bridges. Yangjiang River is one mile wide in Wuyi section, the water flow is not very turbulent, but it is also a suitable place to build a bridge, less than five days, the pontoon bridge has begun to see the scale.

The spies had already passed the news to Zhang Hengyi, who did not dare to underestimate it, and led his 150,000 soldiers to Wuyi and looked across the bank from the Chengzhi army.

At dawn that day, the morning mist dispersed, and only two feet could be seen at the farthest. Cheng Zhijun took this opportunity to step up the construction of the bridge, and the pontoon bridge was only more than ten zhang away from the opposite bank. It was early spring, and the water on both sides of the river was no more than three feet deep.

Liu Chengzhi saw that the opportunity was rare, so he ordered thousands of elite soldiers to come to the end of the pontoon bridge, swim across the river, and kill on the opposite bank.

Who knew that just now a hundred people went ashore, but saw the enemy surrounded by pikemen, the front was held by pikemen, and the archers in the rear were waiting for them.

But it was too late, and bows and arrows were fired. Just when he was feeling hopeless, he noticed several large ships coming in the distance and shooting them at the shore with rockets.

Zhang Hengyi didn't dare to make a mistake, so he ordered the pikemen to retreat, and the two sides began to shoot arrows at each other. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Chengzhi army hurriedly retreated, came back to count the number of people, and found that there were more than 1,000 casualties.
