Zhao Guangyi held Xiao Tao's hand tightly, the white hair on his temples was a little dazzling, and his voice was fierce: "I know." Zhao Guangyi's heart was churning with huge waves, and he was almost out of breath in pain.

Xiao Tao and Zhao Guangyi looked at each other, but they were speechless. Zhao Kuangyin forced to fight Nantang, and had already given them the most harsh lessons and threats. Even if Zhao Guangyi is willing to wait and procrastinate, even if Xiao Tao can't wait to keep confronting each other like this, and the Song army will not hurt the Tang army by half a point, but in front of Yin'er, these will inevitably be lightweight.

Little Peach's tears couldn't be stopped. The whole body was shaking, and he only whispered "save Yin'er" repeatedly. As a mother, she wanted to exchange her life for Yin'er, but she was so powerless, and she was helpless to see Yin'er suffering. Zhao Guangyi's heart hurt like never before, Yin'er made him hurt, Xiao Tao made him hurt, Zhao Guangyi pressed Xiao Tao's shoulder hard: "Leave everything to me." You take care of your body. After saying that, he got up and walked out.

Little Peach has woken up. He must make a move against Nantang as soon as possible, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin may not know what to do to Yin'er. Zhao Guangyi arrived at another camp, he was the only one, sketching back and forth on the map of Runzhou for a long time, and when it was almost dawn, Zhao Guangyi called the newly promoted deputy general Zheng Jin over and ordered: "Dispatch 30,000 horses and march in three ways." The first way, 5,000 men, with big boats, will still set out from the water gate after midnight tomorrow night, and capture the water gate and Bailingdu. The night after tomorrow, he attacked the valley of elephants; The second road, 5,000 men, set out from Qinghuai Ridge and attacked Jiaoshan. ”

After a pause, Zhao Guangyi said: "As for the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses. Saying that, Zhao Guangyi pointed to the map and said, "Here, where Runzhou is close to Changzhou, there is a place called Jiuquan Waterfall." You can send soldiers and horses there. ”

Zheng Jin was stunned for a moment and asked, "What does King Jin mean by using this as our main force to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty?" And the other two are just suspicious formations used to interfere with the Tang army? ”

Zhao Guangyi nodded, Xiang Valley had already been explored once, and it was unfathomable. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is categorically unable to attack; Although the Qinghuai Ridge has few troops and is very close to Jiao Mountain, the Qinghuai Ridge is a hillside that can only be used by the army, and it is extremely difficult to attack from the bottom up, so it can only be used to disturb the sight of the Tang army. And the real main force, Zhao Guangyi has been thinking about where to attack as the main battlefield these days, thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Guangyi thought of the place where Yin'er lost it back then, Jiuquan Waterfall.

Jiuquan Waterfall is in the east of Runzhou City, and it is very close to Wuyue, and the camp of the Song army is in the west of Runzhou City. But Zhao Guangyi has been thinking about it for the past few days, when Yin'er rushed down the Jiuquan Waterfall, the water flow was so fast, he jumped down after Yin'er, why didn't he see Yin'er all the time? And Jiuquan Waterfall is still some distance from Huanxi Village, a child from Jiuquan Waterfall to Huanxi Village all the way to be washed by water and life is worry-free, it is simply a miracle of miracles, unless Yin'er is washed to a safe place after falling from Jiuquan Waterfall. So Zhao Guangyi was obsessed with Jiuquan Waterfall.

These days, he sent people to investigate around, and also focused on checking the Jiuquan Waterfall, and sure enough, he found that the mountain wall covered by the waterfall of the Jiuquan Waterfall has a gap, and along the gap to the inside, it is a huge cave, and along the cave to walk in for a while, from the other side through it, it is a barren beach in the east of Runzhou City. Zhao Guangyi didn't know whether the Tang army would deploy troops in this barren beach, but judging from the defense map of the Southern Tang Dynasty naval army that Cao Bin showed him, there was not much defense there. Then capture the barren beach, and the two ferries along the river to the west can attack the east gate of Runzhou City, and directly attack the city.

The advantage of choosing this side as the main battlefield is that there are no natural dangers such as canyons and slopes to use on this route, and the road is a flat river, with a good view, and it can be attacked and defended. Except for the waterfall, which is considered a natural danger, as long as you can cross the waterfall and covertly transfer the troops to the barren beach, you will not have to worry about going forward. But the question also arises, the terrain of Jiuquan Waterfall is steep, one or two people can pass through, how can a large number of troops withstand the waterfall and enter the cave? In case of rushing downstream, the troops will be lost before the battle.

Sure enough, Zheng Jin also asked this question like Zhao Guangyi: "How can 20,000 soldiers cross the waterfall and enter the cave?" ”

Zhao Guangyi said in a deep voice: "So in the past two days, I have to send a few people there first, now it is autumn, and some dead vines are just tenacious, so that people can knot the vines into ropes, and then hang down from the top of the waterfall, and the people below can pull through the waterfall." By the time the soldiers on this side attacked the Elephant Valley the night after tomorrow, the vines on that side were almost arranged and ready to attack, and several places were marching together. "The reason why vines are used is that there is no such long rope in the barracks, and it is too late to find them now; Second, the rope is not as strong as the vines, and the length can be adjusted.

Zheng Jin suddenly realized: "Oh, this can disrupt the Tang army, so that they can't tell where our main force is, and they are overwhelmed?" ”

Zhao Guangyi hooked his lips: "Go and prepare." As soon as Zheng Jin turned around to leave, Zhao Guangyi suddenly shouted and ordered, "Wait a minute, when attacking the Elephant Valley, the big ship will be loaded with a few big stones." ”

Zheng Jin was stunned: "Big stone? After thinking about it for a long time, he slapped his head and sighed, "King Jin really has a far-reaching plan. With the stone draft, the Tang army, who was familiar with the warship, must have thought that there were a lot of soldiers on our ship, so they would send more troops here. ”

After Zheng Jin retreated, Zhao Guangyi wrote another letter and ordered someone to take it to Wu Yue's camp. If you attack from here, Wu Yue's help is indispensable.

Two days later, at the end of the day, Qi Zheng was thinking about the map in the camp tent, when someone suddenly came in and said, "My lord, the twenty ships of the Song army have begun to sail towards the Elephant Valley. Is it as planned, that the main forces of our army are transferred over to meet the battle? ”

Qi Zhengxiu frowned slightly and asked, "Except for the Elephant Valley and Qinghuai Ridge, has the Song Army been found anywhere else?" ”

The person who came thought for a while and said, "In the afternoon, someone found that on the side of the mountain of Jiuquan Waterfall, there were several Song soldiers. ”

"Nine Springs Waterfall?" Qi Zhengxiu's brows tightened, and his nerves straightened, "On which side of the mountain?" Next to the lower side of the waterfall, or next to the side of the barren river? ”

The visitor replied, "On the side of the barren beach." ”

"Why don't you tell me?!" Qi Zhengxiu's voice became stern.

The visitor was a little frightened and replied, "My lord was too tired to fall asleep in the tent in the afternoon." The adjutant general said that it didn't matter, it was just a few stragglers, and someone was sent to deal with it. I wanted the adults to rest for a while, so I didn't say anything. ”

Qi Zhengxiu only felt that his hands and feet were a little cold. He had already heard that Zhao Guangyi's strategy was much more far-reaching than Cao Bin's, but he was still surprised that he had discovered the cave of Jiuquan Waterfall without knowing it. Qinghuai Ling is definitely not the main force of the Song army, Xianggu has already defeated Cao Bin once, will the Song army still use this place as the main battlefield? Compared with the Elephant Valley, it stands to reason that the Jiuquan Waterfall is more like the main battlefield newly discovered by the Song army. But the cave of Jiuquan Waterfall is narrow, but it is difficult to retreat, will Zhao Guangyi do this by himself? Qi Zhengxiu hesitated, thought for a while and asked, "How many Song troops are there in the Elephant Valley?" ”

The person came back and said: "The battle report that came back from the front is that according to the depth of the draft, there should be more than a thousand people on one ship, twenty ships. ”

Twenty ships, more than 20,000 people? Qi Zhengxiu's brows were locked deeply, Song Jun was willing to send so many people to the unfathomable Elephant Valley? Qi Zhengxiu stood up abruptly and tied his cloak to his body: "Hurry up to the Elephant Valley." ”

Qi Zhengxiu's boat quickly traveled to the vicinity of the Elephant Valley, Qi Zhengxiu let the boat lean against a stone next to the canyon, Qi Zhengxiu got off the boat in a few steps and climbed to the middle of the mountain, and saw the big ship of the Song army slowly moving towards this side, according to the speed and draft of the boat, it is true that there are nearly 1,000 people in each boat.

Qi Zhengxiu ordered: "Order two people to drive the small boat and quickly crash into the big boat at the front." ”

The attendant didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Bump, bump?" ”

"Go!" Qi Zhengxiu is rare and stern and cold. The attendant hurried away.

Two soldiers drove a small boat, along the side wall of the canyon, quietly walked to the front of the Song army's fleet, and quickly hit the bow of the boat, Qi Zhengxiu stared closely at the movement of the Song army's big ship on the mountain, the bow shook slightly, and after gently floating up and down left and right, there was no movement, and even the water near the boat only had a trace of waves, and then dissolved and the gentle ripples did not fluctuate.

Not good, the weight of this ship is pressed by weights, and there are not so many people. If there were soldiers on the boat, and after being hit by a small boat, someone would have been walking back and forth on the boat, and it would not have been possible for the boat to return to stationary without any swing. It can only be said that there were not many people on board, and it was quickly restored to its original state after being hit.

Qi Zhengxiu hurriedly came down from the middle of the mountain, rushed to his small boat and ordered: "Hurry back to the camp tent, leave 5,000 people in the Elephant Valley, transfer another 30,000 soldiers and horses, and send troops from the east of Runzhou City to block Jiuquan Waterfall." ”

The ship is fast, and the wind is blowing on both sides. Siege Demon Doctor.

At that time, Qi Zhengxiu received a battle report, and the Song army sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack from Jiuquan Waterfall, and now it has captured the barren beach and stationed troops there. Moreover, taking advantage of the war, Wu Yue pulled more than 20 warships from Jiuquan Waterfall against the current to aid the Song army. By the time the Tang army arrived, the Song army was already fully manned and waiting for the battle. A night of fierce fighting, each has a victory or defeat, and now the former Wandu is the boundary, and the Tang army and the Song army each hold one side.

Qi Zhengxiu's whole body was a little cold, and the Jiuquan Waterfall selected by Zhao Guangyi was an attack point that was difficult for anyone to think of, one was a dangerous waterfall, and the other was that the warships of the Song army were all in the west of the city, and they could not be transferred to the east of the city at all. But it all turned around so quickly, without any sign or warning, in an instant.
