On the battlefield in the direction of Xiangfan, Song Wuwei has besieged Wancheng for more than a month, but with An Zhong returning to power in the southwest, the situation has shown obvious changes.

Attacking tough battles is not Song Wuwei's strong point, and now An Zhong has returned, Song Wuwei had no choice but to lead the army back, and An Zhong led the army to relieve the siege of Wancheng and then threatened the Hanging City.

In the tent of the Qin army camp in Huaibei, Yuwen Zhi was very anxious, and now the north-south contact was cut off by the Qi army, and he sent people and horses to try to go to the direction of Shouchun for help and was swept by Yang Hu's cavalry outside.

"Soldiers, the situation is very critical now, I have sent people to cross the water to the north bank to spread the news, and we will attack Shaoyangzhou together tomorrow." Yuwen Zhi said coldly, but his face was full of sorrow.

But until now, he still can't figure out how Wei Ran arrived in Shaoyangzhou, Yuwen regretted it very much at this time, the concubine Zhao Youzhi once told him that Wei Ran was the same as his father Wei Zhi, brave and good at making tricks, but since he was a child, the key is that Wei Ran is not as upright as his father, sneak attacks and plots to cut off horses' legs, in order to win the victory with the smallest casualties, it is really strange tricks.

Zhongli City is now full of laughter, and the soldiers do not go into the slaughtering horses to satisfy their hunger, and the food sent by Yang Hu today can be said to have solved the urgent need. The quartermaster wanted to save some money, but Wang Lie said, "Eat tonight, just don't drink." ”

Gao Kun also had mixed feelings at this time, and the repeated battles for many days had made his nerves tense, and he could finally relax today.

It didn't take long to hear a snoring sound, and Gao Kun fell asleep holding his sword against the wall at this time.

Wang Lie smiled lightly after seeing it, and then ordered his own cavalry to defend the city, so that the Huaibei army could rest well.

After a while, the city gradually remembered the snoring one after another, and they were really tired.

At sunrise the next day, Wei Ran held a sword in his hand and said: "Today's battle is very important, I have sent a small boat to Huaiyin last night, so that Heng Xuan can lead his troops here to conduct a general battle." ”

"Cao Jingzhi listened to the order, you led an army of 20,000 to attack the Qin army on the north bank, killed them and set fire to the pontoon bridge, don't fall in love. The next task is to stop the Qin army from building a pontoon bridge! ”

"Cao Xiuzhi listened to the order, you led 10,000 horses and horses of your headquarters to the east along the Huai River, looking for a place to log in, and when I and the Qin army were fighting, lead the army to attack the Qin army's main formation! Cause chaos! ”

Then Wei Ran stood on top of the earth mountain and said loudly: "This prince personally led an army of 30,000 to attack Yuwen to the headquarters!" ”

Cao Jingzhi hurriedly said: "The army of Yuwen to the headquarters on the south bank is twice as large as yours, and the county prince cannot take risks easily, the last general is willing to attack the south bank, and the county prince will attack the north bank." ”

"How can you worry about life and death in the field of battle, and the husband should regard death as home. The Qin army on the north bank will definitely come to the rescue from Pengcheng and Shouchun, and we must defeat the Qin army in one battle today. ”

Wei Ran then grabbed the soil on the earth mountain and said to the generals: "Our army seems to be trapped on Shaoyang Continent, but the Qin army on the south bank has been surrounded by us on all sides, and General Hengxuan will lead the army to attack and kill from the west, our cavalry will rush from behind, General Cao Xiuzhi will attack from the east, and Zhongli City." ”

Wei Ran pointed at Zhongli with a sway: "There are still thousands of cavalry in Zhongli City, if Gao Kun Wang Lie understands me, he will definitely cooperate." ”

"We seem to have fewer people and more people, but the advantage is mine. The two armies faced each other, and the brave word took the lead. As long as Yuwen Zhi's most courageous army is defeated, the rest will be defeated without attacking. ”

Wei Ran's passionate declaration made the soldiers of the Southern Qi Dynasty all enthusiastic, and the heroic and invincible voice of the county prince on Shaoyang Continent resounded through the Huai River.

After Yu Wenzhi heard this, he knew that his morale could not fall. Later, the whole army also spoke, and for a time the Northern Qin army was also full of fighting spirit.

As the sun rose, the Southern Qi army took the lead in attacking, Wei Ran attacked the south bank, Cao Jingzhi attacked the north bank, and for a while, Shaoyang Continent was on fire.

Wei Ran ordered the soldiers to take out several big drums from the ship and drive them on the top of the earth mountain, and then the soldiers beat the drums to their heart's content.

The morale of the Southern Qi generals was high, and they fought to the death, Wei Ran commanded freely in the military array, and from time to time he released cold arrows to sneak attack the brave in the Northern Qin army.

Seeing this, Yuwen Zhi shouted: "Take my imperial bow!" ”

The soldiers took the bow and arrows, and Yuwen Zhi bent the bow to aim at Wei Ran.

Wei Ran didn't feel the danger at all at this moment, and was still wearing silver armor to command on the front line, and suddenly the door around Wei Ran was wide open.

Yu Wenzhi seized the opportunity to shoot an arrow, and a moment later Wei Ran fell.

The Southern Qi army was shocked, and all the guards guarded Wei Ran one after another.

"Wei Ran is dead, put down his weapon and surrender quickly." Yuwen is so loud that people shout,

The Northern Qin army was on a ferocious offensive and had already pressed Shaoyangzhou. The Southern Qi army was unstable and was pressed back into the camp.

At this moment, Wei Ran suddenly appeared on the top of the earth mountain, with an arrow stuck in his right arm. Wei Ran personally held his handsome flag, and then drank: "This prince is still here, and the meritorious service is at this time!" ”

After all, Yu Wenzhi still spared his life and refused to stand on the front line to command the team like Wei Ran. Although the sneak attack was successful, the distance was very far, if it weren't for Yuwen Zhi's natural bravery, this arrow would probably not hit Wei Ran.

When the soldiers of the Southern Qi saw Wei Ran on the dirt mountain, their morale was greatly boosted, and they fought back desperately.

At this time, Cao Jingzhi had already led his troops to burn down the pontoon bridge, and Lin Xianzhi's department on the north bank was helpless, so Cao Jingzhi used a chariot to cooperate with a strong crossbow, killing and injuring tens of thousands.

Subsequently, Cao Jingzhi ordered a battalion of soldiers to guard the north of Shaoyang Zhou, prevent the Qin army from building a pontoon bridge, and led the remaining thousands of soldiers to the Weiran front.

When the generals of Southern Qi saw Cao Jingzhi arrive, their morale was greatly boosted: "Northern Qin thieves, the Qin army on the north bank has been broken, and there is no way to escape." ”

At this time, Hengxuanbu rushed to the battlefield and launched an offensive against the Qin army from the east, and Yuwen Zhi hurriedly sent people to resist.

Cao Xiuzhi's troops launched an offensive from the west, and Yuwenzhi sent troops to rescue.

Yang Hu seized the opportunity to rush directly to Yuwen to the location of the Chinese army from the flank and rear.

The Qin army was in chaos, and Gao Kun Wang Lie saw that Yuwenzhi's position was in chaos on the city wall, and led the army to kill from the north gate of Zhongli City.

For a while, the Qin army was surrounded on all sides, and seeing that there were Qi troops in front and behind, Yuwen Zhi fell into despair.

Seeing that Wei Ran had already led his troops to cross the Shaoyangzhou pontoon bridge and landed on the north shore at this moment, Yu Wenzhi knew that the general trend had gone.

Yuwen Zhi looked at the guards beside him desolately: "Our army has been defeated." ”

Unexpectedly, a Zhongli city with only 5,000 people trapped him for two months, and now he is in a high position, and he was defeated for the first time when he organized a large-scale battle.

Disheartened, he wanted to draw his sword and kill himself, but the generals around him hurriedly stopped: "Dashuai, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years." ”

Yuwen only sobered up, and said bitterly with tears in his eyes: "If you lose your soldiers, what face will you return to." ”

"Why should the marshal care about the gains and losses of a city, return to Shouchun at this time, send troops to relieve the siege of Hefei, and have a life-and-death duel with this Wei Ran child in Hefei."

When Yu Wenzhi heard this, his eyes lit up: "It makes sense." ”

At this time, the Qin army's main formation was already in chaos, Yuwenzhi did not hesitate, and hurriedly led the guards to retreat in the direction of Shouchun.

Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately ordered Yang Hu to lead the cavalry to pursue, and Yang Hu chased and killed Yuwenzhi all the way.

Yuwen Zhi retreated on the one hand, and ordered the troops to block the impact of Yang Hu's cavalry, and the Northern Qin soldiers fought to the death, and finally let Yuwen Zhi escape.

Yuwenzhi fled all the way back to Shouchun, and the Northern Qin soldiers were chased and killed by the Southern Qi army all the way, and their corpses were pillowed for more than 50 miles.

Wei Ran entered Zhongli City, Gao Kun looked at Wei Ran and couldn't help crying, and the emotions of the soldiers of the Huaibei Army for many days were vented.

Looking at Zhongli City, who was covered with corpses and bones, Wei Ran couldn't help crying.

"Father-in-law, is this Wei Shizi? Looks about my age. Gao Xiaoshun said softly.

"To him, it's Wei Shizi, and he won't be 20 this year."

Gao Xiaoshun looked at Wei Ran, and couldn't help but fantasize about the invincible appearance of leading troops in the future.

At this point, the defense of Zhongli was completely over, and seven or eight out of ten of the 100,000 Qin troops were killed and wounded and surrendered.

But the Southern Qi army also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Wei Ran appointed Cao Jingzhi to temporarily guard Zhongli and the Huaiyin defense line.

Then the army moved back to Guangling, and after a little repair in Guangling, he went directly back to the division of Hefei.

The focus of this war between the North and the South has all converged on Hefei.

Hefei will also become a meat grinder-style battlefield for the two armies.
