When the Eastern Tang army had already occupied most of the positions on the head of the city, the resistance of the Northern Chu army was also carried out to the most fierce moment. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Meng stood at the head of the city, he fought side by side with his soldiers, and the personal guards swore to protect him to the left and right. Seeing that the main general fought bravely to kill the enemy, the morale of the soldiers was raised in an instant, and they all fought desperately with the Eastern Tang Dynasty soldiers, and even suppressed the morale of the Eastern Tang Dynasty army from the city.

Long Xiangnan looked at the north gate at this time, and he took advantage of the opportunity of the soldiers in the city to ignite the fire, and trumpeted the matter of the Eastern Tang army's internal and external cooperation, which was the morale of the Eastern Tang army reached its peak for a while. Victory is in sight, which soldier does not want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions?

Just when the soldiers of the two armies were fighting for each other at the head of the city, the rebellious army in the city was finally calmed down. With an army of 100,000 people, it was still easy to suppress a riot of 7,000 cavalry.

After paying the price of more than a thousand people, the cavalry of the Eastern Tang Dynasty had to hide in peace. The Northern Chu soldiers began to organize a fire-fighting team in an orderly manner, and saved Mengling City, which was in the midst of fire.

After a night of firefighting, the fire in Mengling City was finally brought under control. After several desperate battles for the city, the two sides still did not distinguish the winner. After fighting all night, the Eastern Tang army had no intention of retreating, and the Northern Chu army also held on to the city without giving an inch.

The timely arrival of 100,000 firefighting troops made the precarious situation much better in an instant. After the addition of the new force, the situation of the Northern Chu Army gradually stabilized. Mengling City was finally saved under Zhang Meng's desperate defense, which can be regarded as living up to Chu Zhenhai's trust.

At this time, Chu Zhenhai's 100,000 army was also blocked on the way to Mengling City, but the distance of dozens of miles became as difficult as a curse.

After the Northern Chu army, which was trapped in Yanming Mountain 100,000 times, rushed down Yanming Mountain, they immediately sent something wrong. The camp besieging them at the foot of the mountain was already empty, and the soldiers on the wall turned out to be some straw men and other obstacles.

Chu Zhenhai, who learned all this, was even more furious, and he was even more sure of Long Xiangnan's determination to take Mengling City in one fell swoop. While urging the 100,000-strong army to march in full force, he also began to deploy a specific battle plan at that time.

In Chu Zhenhai's opinion, as long as their 100,000 troops arrived, they would form a flanking attack with Zhang Meng in the city, and they would definitely be able to break the Eastern Tang army with one blow. In this way, it was possible to ensure that the city was not lost, and they were able to enter the city to join the defending forces.

As the coach of Chu Zhenhai, his strategy is very effective. But just as they had marched ten miles and were less than ten miles away, a cavalry detachment came out of the spurs, and the sound of men shouting and neighing filled the hills. Torches were lit everywhere, and drums rang out.

"There is an ambush!" Chu Zhenhai's heart jumped, knowing that he had fallen for Long Xiangnan's trick. However, the Eastern Tang Dynasty army is attacking Mengling City with all its might, where are the troops available? At this time, looking at the crowds of people all over the mountains, there are tens of thousands of people, not to mention tens of thousands!

The cavalry team quickly rushed into the camp of the Northern Chu army, and although Chu Zhenhai commanded Ruoding, the army of 100,000 people was still cut off.

"Could it be that attacking Mengling City is just a pretense? Attacking our army is the real purpose?" Chu Zhenhai's mind turned sharply, wanting to see the truth of the matter.

The battlefield was changing rapidly, and Chu Zhenhai, who didn't have time to think about anything, immediately decided that even if it was the enemy's trick, this time he would break through and enter Mengling City. After making up his mind, Chu Zhenhai immediately ordered the troops to be divided into two parts, and he personally led the front army to take the first step.

As for the truncated rear army, it will only be handed over to another general, which is obviously to make the other party die and cut off. At this time, the situation is unclear, and Chu Zhenhai has no better way. Moreover, the enemy's tens of thousands of troops and the 50,000 horses he left behind were only a close match, if they were defeated, they could withdraw to Yanming Mountain and continue to hold on.

The general who was left to command the battle was named Chu Zhentian, and he was Chu Zhenhai's brother. Chu Zhentian is also Chu Zhenhai's confidant general, and handing over the rear army to him Chu Zhenhai was also after some careful consideration.

Unlike Zhang Meng's good guard, Chu Zhentian's combat style is wide open and varied, which is very suitable for leading an army alone. After Chu Zhenhai handed over the rear army to Chu Zhentian, he continued to lead the army to Mengling City without stopping.

At this time, the morale of his subordinates was low, and he was not suitable for a confrontation with the enemy, even if the enemy only had tens of thousands of people, he did not want to delay here. Now his first thought was to go to Mengling City and find out. The blockage of the news made Chu Zhenhai, who was the commander-in-chief, very uneasy, and the fire in Mengling City also made him faintly feel that something big was about to happen.

Chu Zhenhai led his subordinates to break away from the entanglement of the Eastern Tang army behind them, and quickly moved in the direction of Mengling City. After walking for several miles, the shouts of killing behind had gradually faded away, and the officers and men of the three armies immediately advanced at full speed at this time.

However, Chu Zhenhai and the others did not go out of the distance of Taiyuan, and another group of people blocked their way.

"General Chu Zhenhai, I've been waiting here for a long time!" Li Yitian immediately slashed and showed his figure on the road on the side.

When the Eastern Tang army attacked Mengling City at night, Li Yitian received a letter from Long Xiangnan, ordering him to immediately lead the army back to the city to intercept Chu Zhenhai's army and land, and make sure not to make them approach Mengling City.

Of the 100,000 troops led by Li Yitian, 50,000 were cavalry, of which the elite soldier Longya Battalion accounted for 10,000. After receiving Long Xiangnan's general order, Li Yitian ordered the cavalry to take the lead and the infantry to follow.

They finally laid traps along the way and waited for the arrival of the Northern Chu army before Chu Zhenhai made a move. At this time, Li Yitian and the others chose a relatively low terrain, and a large number of fire-causing things were piled up around them. Just take advantage of the cover of the night, and a little cover up will make it difficult for people to detect.

"Bold thief, dare to block my way, and the soldiers will go out with me!" Chu Zhenhai saw that the other party was ambushed by his friends, and knew that it must be difficult to be good this time, so he decided to fight a decisive battle here.

Li Yitian laughed and shouted, "Release the arrow!"

"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh!whoosh!" Countless rockets were fired, but instead of shooting at the enemy, they landed on things on both sides of the road that were hidden by weeds. I saw that the fire burned in an instant, and although the Northern Chu army was not harmed for a while, it immediately became a mess.

The rain of arrows poured down again, this time towards the soldiers. Chu Zhenhai ordered the shield battalion to come forward to protect him, and shouted loudly to boost morale: "Officers and soldiers of the three armies, we are surrounded by enemy troops, if we fight to the death, there is still a way to live, and if we take a step back, we will be doomed." Will you fight with me?"

Chu Zhenhai's voice resounded in the army, and it was also responded to in an instant!

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

The shouts of the three armies even drowned out all the noise. Under the personal leadership of the commander, the soldiers of Northern Chu broke out with unparalleled combat power, and they rushed out of the sea of fire in the face of the rain of arrows to fight to the death with the soldiers of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Li Yitian was also shocked by the high morale that broke out at this time, and a few short words from Chu Zhenhai could kill the three armies. His prestige must be extremely high in the army!

When the enemy army was about to rush out of the sea of fire, Li Yitian ordered the cavalry team to charge, and he wanted to press the enemy back. The archers continued to suppress the enemy forces that were about to rush out from the rear from high places, and their vital strength was constantly being consumed.

In the face of the iron hooves of the Eastern Tang cavalry, the pikemen of the Northern Chu Army was strictly guarded, advancing step by step. Although the galloping cavalry looked at the forest of guns in front of them for a while, none of them held the reins.

"Kill, 、、、" shouted and killed one after another, and the two sides instantly scuffled together.

Surrounded by the sea of fire, the Northern Chu soldiers were always suffering from the flames, and the purpose of the Eastern Tang soldiers was to prevent the enemy from leaving and let them be buried in the fire.

The intensity of the battle between the two sides was no less than that of the battle at the head of Mengling City, with iron hooves flying, swords waving, arrows flying, and flames soaring. Every moment, fresh lives died, but Li Yitian felt a stream of coolness invade his body. The soul of the soldier who had just died in battle was attached to Li Yitian's body!

Under the leadership of Chu Zhenhai, the Northern Chu Army was not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness was even more amazing. The kind of plot where the commander was originally going to die is shocking, and they often fight for their lives, and the Eastern Tang Army also suffered heavy casualties.

But what Li Yitian got was a death order, even if the whole army died in battle, he couldn't let Chu Zhenhai meet Mengling City!

The tug-of-war in Mengling City was still going on at this time, and the battle for the head of the city was gradually becoming clear. The addition of 100,000 new forces was a reassuring pill for Zhang Meng, and he was not too worried about the battle situation at this time.

Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will fight it, and the enemy will be able to divide it. Long Xiangnan took this battle criterion to the extreme at this time, and he successfully divided the enemy army with a force comparable to that of the enemy.

At the expense of elite troops, it was the enemy who had to be trapped outside the city. At this time, he single-handedly guided the battle situation into confusion, so that the enemy could not find the direction and threw himself into the net.

Just when the battle on Mengling City seemed to be very clear, Long Xiangnan decisively withdrew his troops. However, at this time, the Chu Zhenhai Department, which fought against Li Yitian, also successfully broke through in the direction of Mengling City after paying a heavy price.

But what was waiting for them was the military formation that Long Xiangnan had already set up, which made Chu Zhenhai feel extremely puzzled.

After the two sides fought again, although Chu Zhenhai successfully escaped, the 50,000 soldiers did not have his good luck, the soldiers who surrendered were captured, and those who resisted were killed on the spot. Many generals died on the battlefield, and the 50,000 troops of Chu Zhenhai in this battle can be said to be completely annihilated.

It turned out that Long Xiangnan had made up his mind at the beginning to pay attention to the encirclement point to send reinforcements, or did the situation change make him have to take advantage of the situation? )
