Among them, more than 500 people were captured, and the seized drinking water was enough for 30,000 people to eat for two days.

However, in order to fight a protracted war, Sun Yuantai saved enough for more than 1,000 people to eat more than a month of water in advance.

At the same time, it is also convenient for subsequent reinforcements.

After all, the three armies did not move the grain and grass first.

It is impossible to move grain faster than the speed of a rapid march.

This point is also what Zhao Cheng has calculated, if there is no Cao Zheng, these drafts are the key to Zhao Cheng's follow-up operations.

After all, he and his group traveled lightly, and they didn't carry too much dry food at all.

However, after replenishing a wave of dry food from Cao Zheng before, even if there was a lack of food here, it was enough for Zhao Cheng and his party to barely hold on, sweep this place away, and turn with the large army.

……

When the sky was slightly bright, Sun Yuantai finally woke up under the care of the military doctor.

When he woke up, he was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was on the battlefield.

And just before he fell unconscious, the Great Yan Ancient Road had been lost.

"Tianyuan, how did the Zhao thief get through?!"

"Before his troops left the Southern Wilderness, every move of his army was under my supervision, and there was no possibility of setting off in advance."

"He was able to come out of Lianshan at this point in time, which can only prove one thing, that is, he did not make a detour, but flew from the abyss, it can't, so many of his people and horses, really flew over?!"

"It's just that if he has this kind of magical power, why don't he just transport the soldiers and horses to the Shendu Palace......"

Sun Yuantai thought to himself, and after this coma, his spirit and spirit, visible to the naked eye, have decayed a lot.

And Sun Yuantai glanced at the generals and leaders of all directions in a state, and when he saw his personal expressions, he could obviously perceive that after this change, his own side had become fluctuating.

As for the question of how Zhao Cheng bypassed Tianyuan, if the Great Yan Ancient Road was not lost, Cao Zheng did not descend, but blocked Zhao Cheng at the entrance out of Lianshan, in that case, it didn't matter how Zhao Cheng came over.

The loser's methods, no matter how magical, are actually nothing more than that.

But right now, it was Zhao Cheng's divine soldiers who descended from the sky, first subdued Cao Zheng, and then seized the Great Yan Ancient Road, such a momentum, if this does not prove the destiny of heaven, then in the world, I am afraid that there is no destiny of heaven.

People's hearts are like this, when you can continue to lead the team to victory, and get more and more, it is natural that all the forces are united, and once you encounter a setback, a person's careful thinking will rise.

Sun Yuantai is not close to rejoicing at the moment, fortunately, he has been operating for so long, Yu Wei is still there, on the other hand, he is not very clear about the situation of Zhao Thief, so he can barely use soldiers.

"You can't continue to wait, you have to use soldiers, if you continue, wait until Zhao Thief opens up the passage and rounds with the large army, then it will be too late, when the time comes, it may not appear, someone takes the initiative to escape with his own men and horses, and even surrenders before fighting!"

"Only before this, first knock down the prestige of the Zhao thief, then there will be a follow-up!"

Sun Yuantai's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to give orders.

He first asked the scouts to go to the Great Yan Ancient Road to inquire about the situation, and at the same time, he ordered the army to return to the city, and did not go straight to the Great Yan Ancient Road.

If he hadn't been unconscious last night, he could have been rerouted at that time.

But who told him that he was too old after all, and his body couldn't stand it when he was stimulated like this, and at this time, the fighter plane had been delayed.

Instead, it is better to go back to the city to repair, rearrange the troops, and then make strategic adjustments according to what the scouts hear.

Attacking blindly, that is really betting on luck, and it is not advisable.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.

As for Cao Zheng, although he has rebelled now, now, it is undoubtedly more important to do the matter of the Great Yan Ancient Road, and he can only think of a way in the future.

Of course, this matter also gave Sun Yuantai a headache, because Qingzhou was originally Cao Zheng's territory, if it could not be dealt with as soon as possible at this time, once Cao Thief and Zhao Thief joined forces and cut off the supply line of the imperial court, the occupation of this side would be sinister to the extreme in an instant.

……

Two days later, Sun Yuantai led the army and arrived at the pass of the Great Yan Ancient Road.

In two days, relying on the 9,000 reserves of the Taiping Battalion and more than 1,000 soldiers, the fortress out of this pass was reversed at 180 degrees, and the muzzle of the gun, which was originally facing the Southern Wilderness, has now turned to the direction of Qingzhou.

As for how this was done, the original back wall was demolished, and on the other side of the front wall, stones were piled up, and even the nearest fortresses were demolished, and all the stones were piled up here, and a simple "city wall" was piled up.

At the same time, a company of more than 50 cannons was also transported.

In addition, out of the three hundred bazookas, two hundred were left here, and four hundred of the remaining six hundred rockets were left here.

"Sun thief, you want to come over, but have you asked, is my cannon profitable?!"

Out of the pass, Huang Qi stood on the "city wall" piled up of stones, and let the people below shout with him.

"Hmph, sharp teeth!"

Sun Yuantai snorted coldly.

"Generals, do you have a way to break the enemy?!"

This time, he almost poured out of the nest, and in the Heavenly Pass, except for some of the defenders left behind to guard against Cao Zheng, the rest of the men and horses are all here.

Hearing this, the people on the left and right were all fragmented and did not say a word.

In the current situation, in their opinion, there is only one way to attack.

In two days, they also figured out the situation, Zhao Cheng's men and horses definitely did not exceed 50,000, but they had 700,000 people in their hands.

700,000 against 50,000, even if the logistics in this have to occupy 200,000, but it is also 500,000 against 50,000, as long as you are willing to consume human lives, you can definitely capture it.

"Pass my military order, cover with artillery fire, let the cannon fodder battalion, transport explosives bags, and go under that barrier!"

The voice fell, and immediately, one cannon after another was pushed out from behind.

And a group of cannon fodder, also driven, carrying bags of explosives on their backs, with their eyes closed, rushed towards the muzzles and muzzles of the enemy.

Most of these people are death row prisoners sent from all over China.

Originally, according to the law, they all had to die, but now, if they can make meritorious deeds, their sins can be reduced.

It's just that in this era, corruption is rampant in the world, and how many so-called death row prisoners are not wronged? !

Most of them are powerless and powerless people, who are pushed to take the blame, tortured into tricks, and died in a daze.

It's just that in the face of the rain of bullets, even with the cover of cannons, there is still no one who can break through the defensive net made of steel and gunpowder.

All of a sudden, this corner of the earth turned into a Shura purgatory......

……

On June 10 of the third year of Yingtian, Zhao Cheng led his army to fly across the abyss, surrendered Cao Zheng, and captured the Great Yan Ancient Road.

On June 12, the third year of Yingtian, Sun Yuantai led an army of 700,000 to attack the Dayan Ancient Road, and attacked on the 10th, with 150,000 dead and wounded, and the Taiping camp was forced to retreat 20 miles, with 800 dead and wounded.

On June 25, the third year of Yingtian, the large army led by Zhao Cheng and Lin Yi officially met, and since then, history has turned a new page.

On June 29, the third year of Yingtian, a million army swept out of the southern wilderness, unstoppable, Sun Yuantai reduced another 50,000 people, and was forced to retreat to the Tianjie Pass to defend, on the one hand, trying to use the fortification of the city, delay time, wear down the enemy's strength, on the other hand, also waiting for the support of the imperial court......
