The heavy battalion in the rear of the Shaowu will be burned down, the morale of the army will be chaotic, and the officers and men will also worry that the rear road will be cut off. On the basis of this judgment, Yue Geng made a decision that seemed to him to be very wise, and led the army that had been assembled in front of him to attack decisively, intending to take advantage of the situation to recapture the Elephant Sha Bridge.

If you can repel the Shaowu army and recover Feihong City, it is the best, if you can't do it, then the worst plan is to take the opportunity to destroy the Xiangsha Bridge and block the enemy on the east bank of the water, which can be regarded as the completion of the strategic goal of Bingzheng Da Yuxuan. Of course, Yue Geng didn't want to really destroy the Elephant Shatter Bridge, this was just the worst plan just in case, he just hoped to take advantage of the accident in the rear of Shao Wu and completely defeat it on the front line.

In addition to the two army formations in Shanshui City, the other eighteen army formations mobilized by the Xiangmuro National Soldier Zhengda Yuxuan have just assembled twelve at the checkpoints and passes on the west bank, and six more are on their way to arrive in a few days. Yu Xuan was still not at ease, and then sent four reserve troops from Taihe City to reinforce him. If Yue Geng only relied on the geographical advantage to hold on to the pass, this line of defense would also be a hard bone for Pan Gu, but Yue Geng took the initiative to attack.

In Yue Geng's opinion, although the twelve army formations that have been assembled under his command are insufficient, it is enough to capture a bridge, and reinforcements from the rear are coming in a steady stream, which is also the confidence for him to hold the Elephant Bridge and pursue it while he is victorious.

Unexpectedly, Yue Geng didn't even touch the shadow of the bridge, and when he led the army to leave the defense line and march eastward, he happened to encounter the forward army of Ba Muru led by Pan Gu. This was a battle in the open area, Pan Gu launched two rounds of charges, defeated the advance of the military formation of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and ordered Zhu Sanxian to outflank under the guidance of Lin Xiao, and killed Yue Geng to be defeated.

Yue Geng fled back under the desperate protection of his own guards, and regathered the remnants of the defeated army, and only seven of the twelve army formations were assembled, and the morale was low. If it weren't for the arrival of the six armies reinforced from the rear, he would have no courage to fight again, so he retreated behind the defensive line and never took the initiative to attack again.

Pan Gu led the army to advance with the trend, leaving the matter of cleaning the battlefield and collecting prisoners of war to the rear of the young affairs. According to the latest military information detected by Lin Xiao, Pan Gu did not give Yue Geng a chance to breathe, and immediately launched a tough battle. However, the deployment situation of the remnants of Yue Geng's army has changed, and the main direction of attack of Pan Gu is not a location planned in advance by Shaowu.

Why did people in later generations often say that "generals are not subject to military orders"? It is because of the situation on the battlefield, it is necessary to make corresponding tactical adjustments at any time according to the changes in the situation of both sides.

But there is another strategy for the young man. Pan Gu still strictly enforced, that is, first transfer the reserve army formation to attack the checkpoint pass, let the elite main field army formation rest for a while, and wait for the strength of both sides on the battlefield to be almost consumed, or the front line can not withstand it, then the main elite will be replaced with an impact.

There has been no war between the countries of Pakistan and the Plains for decades, and the military formations have not really fought a war. In particular, those reserve army soldiers who were temporarily recruited by expansion have also been trained in service, but they have never been on the battlefield at all. Training soldiers in battle is also a strategy, and the truly elite soldiers. It needs to be tempered by the battlefield.

The reserve army array is sent to the front line to attack the fortifications, and casualties are inevitable, but as long as there are a few rounds of major battles, the remaining soldiers are elite soldiers. In the future, we can use them as the backbone and command the recruits to form a new military formation, and this will greatly enhance the combat effectiveness. Shaowu's goal is not only to defeat Yue Geng's army, he wants to pacify the entire Ba Yuan, so he hopes that the more elite troops under his command are, the better.

......

Just when the Shaowu army was fighting fiercely with the Yuegeng defenders. In the hinterland of Bamuro Kingdom, the pass on the first line of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain is experiencing an even more tragic battle. Xiang Poor has been leading his army to storm this line of defense for half a month. But the other side did not give an inch and held the pass to the death, and both sides paid a great price for casualties.

Here met with stubborn resistance, in anticipation of poverty. Because as long as the defense line is lost, the army of the Prime Muro Kingdom can go straight to Badu City. After the line of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, there is a plain around Badu City, and there is no pass to defend.

On the side of the country, all the military formations that can be urgently mobilized must have been sent in reinforcements. However, the defenders fought fiercely for so many days, and did not collapse after paying so many casualties, which was unexpected. According to the battle reports of the past few days, the strong attack on the front has at least disabled more than a dozen army formations in the country of Bamuro, why hasn't it completely broken through the defenses?

In Xiang Poor's plan, he would break through this line of defense in half a month at most, and then he would have time to calmly besiege and capture Badu City, so that the army gathered in the south of Bamu Kingdom would not have time to rush back for reinforcements, but now it has been a fierce battle for half a month. In fact, the army is not the only way to go to the capital of Bamuro, but the other routes have to bypass Pengshan or Zhangren Mountain, which is not only variable, but also time-consuming, and also has to break through other passes.

At present, it has been fought like this, and the fortifications of the pass, including the stone walls and wooden fences that have been built, have been almost destroyed, and they can definitely be taken with a little more effort, so Xiang Poor decided to gather an elite army formation to launch a fatal blow.

On the one hand, he minimized the casualties of the main field elite under the unfavorable terrain, and on the other hand, he also trained new soldiers in actual combat and honed real elite soldiers as the backbone of the new army in the future. His ambition was also to pacify the whole of Ba Yuan, not just fight here.

But now that he can't wait any longer, and the reserve army has suffered heavy casualties, then mobilize the real elite main force to launch a decisive offensive. At the same time, Xiang Poor issued an order and sent people to rush to Zheng Muguo, asking Zheng Gu to march from the south and put enough pressure on Ba Muguo.

Xiang Poor has just received two latest battle reports, because Zheng Muguo continues to increase troops to the border, so Bamuroguo's southern army has not moved. But on the other hand, Zheng Murokook did not take the initiative to attack. Worried that it would drag on like this, the Pakistan Congress sent elite troops from the border back to the national capital.

Another battle report was sent by the soldier Zhengda Yuxuan, who stayed in the capital of the Xiangmuro Kingdom, and the young man actually marched from the east bank of the water, breaking through Baiju City and Guxiong City, and now he has besieged Feihong City. It is said that it was the elite army of the Ba Mu country, and it was led by the young man himself. Yuxuan has used Yue Geng as the main general, and urgently deployed troops to deploy defenses on the west bank of the water, so as to ensure that the rear is stable and does not give young affairs an opportunity to take advantage of.

Xiang Qian was taken aback, it was clear that the main force of the army of the Ba Muro Kingdom had been transferred to the southern border some time ago, and the garrison formations of the cities near the national capital had probably also been transferred to the defense line of Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, how could there still be a large army to kill Feihong City, how many elite soldiers did the young man have? Immediately, he figured out the reason, and couldn't help but sneer.

Xiang Qian thought that Shaowu was a suspicious soldier, knowing that he could not fight against the army of Xiang Muru when the army of Zheng Mulu Guo was pressing, so he attacked the rear of Xiang Muru State in a remote and weak place, and deliberately marched from the east bank of the water, and there was still a water barrier from the real hinterland of Xiang Muro. If Xiang Qi retreats because of this, then the danger of Badu City will be solved without a fight.

This is also a clever strategy, but Shao Wu is too simple to think, how can he be fooled when he is poor! Although he has to pay a little price if he wants to break through the barrier, it is a rare opportunity in a hundred years, and how can he spit out the fat that is about to reach his mouth?

Xiang Qian immediately sent someone to tell Sù Yuxuan that his defense strategy was correct, and for the sake of safety, he sent an additional army to reinforce the Lushui defense line, and ordered Yue Geng not to seek to break the enemy and win, as long as he held it steadily, it would be a great achievement. Dan Xiangqiang's location is too far away from Feihong City, and it will take time to pass on the battle report. In fact, when Xiang Poor received this battle report, Shaowu had already taken Feihong City without a fight, and the encounter of Yuegeng's army crossing the defensive line had also been defeated.

......

In front of the national capital of Bamuro, the line between Pengshan and Zhangren Mountain, the main general who guards the last pass outside the national capital is called Bao Qizheng. He was a monk of the Four Realms, but he did not cultivate in the sect, and was recommended by his family to serve in the country, and served as a general under Lord Bingzheng. This general Bao Qizheng had dealt with the tiger baby, and once together they took elixir in the depths of Pengshan.

Bao Qizheng later had a good relationship with Hanxiong and also became acquainted with Jiuling. At the banquet to see off Hanxiong as the lord of Shanchuan City, he was thrown out of the grange by Jiu Ling, and a large bag was knocked out of his head. His master's goose public bag, the Zongmen Dojo is in the mountains near Badu City, and his relatives and family members all live in the villages outside Badu City, and now they are ordered to guard the pass.

There were twelve army formations under Bao Qizheng, six of which were elite field army formations stationed near the national capital, and Shao Wu did not take them away. Bamuro also recruited troops on the spot in the plains and villages around the national capital, and newly organized eight reserve troops to the front, and mobilized several garrison formations from the rear city to reinforce them.

The battle was fought very fiercely, and if it were not for the strong defenses, it would have been difficult for the newly recruited reserve army to hold on. Due to the limited terrain of the pass, only two military formations can be placed at most on the frontal battlefield, and with fortifications, even if one army formation is defeated, Bao Qizheng can still replace it with another army formation to defend it.

This is a costly battle of repeated draws, and Bauchi has sent elite troops to withstand the opponent's onslaught, and then replaced the reserve army formation in turn to consume the opponent's combat power. More than a dozen army formations have been disabled on his side, and it is rare that the defense line has not collapsed, but if Xiang Qi invests in the elite main force to continue the fierce attack, Bao Qizheng may not be able to hold it.

According to the order of Gongzheng Lord Berao, Bao Qizheng should be guarded for at least half a month, and try to keep it for a few days as much as possible. When he can't hold it anymore, the last reinforcements will appear, and then he will have to organize an orderly retreat. Now Bao Qi has been holding on for half a month, but he wants to hold on for a few more days, so that the last reinforcements can be put into the battlefield as late as possible.
