The Tang Zhan military order was immediately issued, and the whole army turned around on the spot, and the ship formation turned back to meet the enemy......

However, when the bow of the ship turned around, Tang Zhan seemed to have discovered that something was wrong -- because he pursued Wuliang Tuoduo all the way along the river, and the fleet of naval forces stationed at the Jiangdao Pass had suddenly gathered to the branch of the Narrow River, and the formation was completely scattered; the water width of this river was extremely narrow, and only one or two ships could be allowed to run in parallel, so it was extremely difficult to reorganize the formation of the naval army, even if it turned around; more importantly, the southwest wind was becoming more and more violent, and it had been following the direction of pursuing Wuliang Tuoduo before, and it was speeding down the wind, but now it turned around and counterattacked, but it was against the wind...... The pursuit of Wuliang Tuoduo failed, the Jiangdao Pass was lost, the headwind dispersed to meet the enemy, and the time and place were lost, because of the impulse of a military decision, resulting in the reversal of the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and us, and it is very likely that before Xiangyang was taken, the vanguard army's naval fleet would be buried in the Jiangkou......

"Boom-" "Bang-" There was a loud sound of ships sinking and shattering in the direction of the mouth of the Xiangyang River, and Tang Zhan knew very well in his heart that even if the number of troops was superior, the chances of victory were not great, and the best situation was just to fight for both sides......

"Quick, the fleet is stepping up its formation, the front and rear formations are transferred one after another, and all forces are used to repel the enemy!" Tang Zhan did not continue to give orders, but his cronies and soldiers were trying their best to give orders, although they were tricked by Wuliang Tuoduo, but the situation was not to be lost, and the vanguard naval army still had the capital to fight head-on.

Tang Zhan stood in a daze for a long time, he understood that he had fallen into the multiple traps of Wuliang Tuoduo, and he also regretted that he should not have listened to Su Jia's admonition and be wary of Wuliang Tuoduo...... Tang Zhan knew very well in his heart that after Wuliang Tuoduo became a famous general, his method of using soldiers was different from ordinary people, he could assassinate Zhao Zijin with ruthless means, and he also sent the war book back to the vanguard camp, and attacked the vanguard generals with the strength of one person, which was absolutely extraordinary...... Tang Zhan knew very well in his heart that if the battle of water was lost in the end, he would not be able to escape as the vanguard master......

However, what Tang Zhan had in his heart was not all regret and self-blame, the victory or defeat of the navy army was not counted, but he let go of Wuliang Tuoduo in vain...... said that it was good to intercept Wuliang Toduo in the "Long Dragon Valley", but Xiao Tian's navy was nowhere to be seen, and Tang Zhan was extremely disappointed in Xiao Tian's defeat......

"General, the enemy's fleet is attacking with the wind, and the momentum is rapid, and our army is attacking against the current and has no time to start the formation, what should I do?" The vanguard army seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and the trusted general turned his head and asked anxiously towards Tang Zhan.

At this point, we can only do our best to block the attack to make up for the mistake of using troops...... "Order-" Tang Zhan's eyes were fixed in the direction of Xiangyang, and finally he opened his mouth and ordered, "Turn around and use the 'Miyagi phalanx' to hold on for the time being, to wait for the attack, to gain time, and the rear troops of our army to move forward as quickly as possible; the Xuanxiang formation was changed to a long front formation, and the shield formation of the Chinese army was defended in order to counterattack, and the two naval armies attacked with light boats and arrows, and when the main force of our army turned around and arrived, we concentrated all our firepower and fought with the enemy!"

At the critical moment, Tang Zhan still calmly made a strategy of defending and counterattacking against the headwind. After the military order was issued, the vanguard navy that had previously gathered at the crossing of the narrow river simply changed to a long front formation, with large warships running through the mouth of the river in formation, and light boats and ships counterattacking against the current on the narrow road on both sides, so as to defend against the enemy's fierce offensive downwind on the one hand, and speed up the rear army to support the front line to the greatest extent on the other......

At this time, in the Mengyuan array, it was the main force of the naval army left behind by Wuliang Tuoduo in Xiangyang, taking advantage of the moment when the Tang Zhan troops turned around to pursue themselves, they pursued the Tang Zhan's naval army in reverse, and occupied the Jiangdao Pass where the Tang Zhan troops were stationed before. The main general of the navy is the former city defender general Wu Su Erji, who was newly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the navy by Wuliang Todo the night before, and it seems that Wuliang Todo simply gave up the defense of Xiangyang by land in order to stage this "escape counterattack" plan......

Wusu Erji's troops reoccupied the Jiangdao Pass, and the southwest wind was rushing down, the Mengyuan Naval Army, which was at a disadvantage in strength, turned from defense to attack, and the momentum was like a bamboo......

"Hahahaha, General Wuliang is really clever, knowing that Tang Zhan will focus on himself, he simply used himself as bait, and successfully deceived the enemy's fleet to turn around and leave the Jiangdao Pass, losing the advantageous station......" Wusu Erji looked at the vanguard fleet in front of him, and laughed wildly with disdain...... Tang Zhan Xiao'er, today I want you to be buried on the river to avenge the thousands of Mengyuan soldiers who died defending the city!"

After saying that, Wu Su Erji continued the order to launch a strong attack on the vanguard navy, and rammed the vanguard army's U-turn battleship with the ship's tailwind. The vanguard army turned around and could not meet the attack, not only the warship was seriously damaged, but the Mengyuan soldiers who followed the boarding ship were also all tigers and wolves......

"Ahh......h The warships of the vanguard army were broken one by one, and the gap between the forces was gradually narrowing, and the troops of Tang Zhan saw the most dangerous situation......

At the critical moment, the formation of the vanguard naval army began to shrink by one column -- Tang Zhan's order had an effect, the Xuanxiang array was changed to the Changfeng formation, and the light boats on both sides of the river went upstream, and the "arrow rain array" strongly intercepted the Mengyuan naval army that boarded the ship and broke through.

"Ahh......h Meng Yuan did not expect that the other party would launch a strong and effective counterattack so soon, and had no choice but to face each other in a vicious war at the mouth of this river......

"Turn around and prepare to fight to the death, right......" Wu Suerji looked at the rapid counterattack of the Tang Zhan troops, gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, now that our army occupies the Jiangdao Pass, and it is a downwind raid, the time and place are all right, I see how you can fight me?

Sure enough, the Wusu Erji side was not to be outdone, and the arrows and crossbows on the main ship battleship were fired in unison, and they were rushing towards the light boat troops on the side of the Tang war army. Downwind vs. headwind, obviously the arrow formation of the Mengyuan troops was more rapid, and they could still compete with each other at first, but after a long time, Tang Zhan's troops obviously couldn't keep up with the offensive, and the casualties of the archers on the two sides of the river gradually increased, and the situation suddenly developed in an inferior direction......

Tang Zhan hurried to the front line of the army formation at this time, that is, at the Jiangdao Pass, but found that his troops were already in chaos and suffered countless casualties. Although the formation was changed in time and some of the situation was slightly reversed, but now that the enemy army occupies the right time and place, and the confrontation continues for a long time, the battle damage will not only expand, but the final defeat will definitely be himself.

"Is there really nothing to be done......" This is still the hardest battle Tang Zhan has fought since he joined the army, and it is also the most dangerous battle in the situation. Because of the terrain above the river, there is no way back in this battle, and it is either desperate to win or annihilation - but it is clear that in today's situation, the latter is more likely......

In terms of the Mengyuan naval army, Usu Erji has already blossomed, and it is about to defeat the Tang War army that is dominating in Shandong, and Wu Suerji's troops are also becoming more and more courageous. "Give me to continue the strong attack, don't give the enemy a way out!-" Wu Suerji continued to issue strong military orders, as if to take advantage of the strong southwest wind to take advantage of the strong southwest wind to take advantage of the Tang War's naval troops.

But just when Usurji was complacent, the soldiers in the rear came with bad news......

"No, no...... Oh no, General......" The soldier hurried from behind, apparently a little panicked, and fell to the ground to report to Usulji.

"It's not good for you're big-" Wu Suerji was unhappy, he was fighting hard, but his subordinates were "spoiling the scenery" at this critical time, and simply turned his head and said badly, "What's the matter, now that our army is on the offensive, what is so panicked?"

"Yes...... It's the enemy's fleet......" Meng Yuan soldier pointed to the rear of the fleet in a panic, "The rear of our army, the enemy ...... The enemy fleet is outflanking the rear of our army, and it has ...... We have broken through the blockade of our army's rear-"

"What did you say?" Hearing this, Usulerji was taken aback, and his whole mood suddenly fell to the bottom. When he looked back at the situation, he was dumbfounded......

Yes, at the Jiangdao Pass, just as the Wusu Erji's naval army was "getting up", the rear of the naval army suddenly "caught fire in the courtyard" -- that's right, it was Xiao Tian's naval army, which did not outflank and go to the "Changlong Valley" to intercept Wuliang Tuoduo, but had been on standby from beginning to end; until the Mengyuan naval army showed its fox tail and attacked Tang Zhan's fleet in the rear, Xiao Tian gave an order, and the army followed and attacked the rear of the main force of the Mengyuan naval army......

"Bang-" With a loud bang, the warship of Xiao Tian's troops crashed heavily into the ships that were caught off guard in the rear of the enemy, and the hull of the ship shook violently, and the Mengyuan soldiers who had not reacted in time were so frightened that they were shocked into the river one by one.

"Kill-" Hu Yidi rushed into front with a knife, and the vanguard soldiers who followed closely behind him were all fierce and vigorous, and boarded the enemy ship with high morale, and engaged in fierce bayonet hand-to-hand combat with the enemy soldiers.

At this moment, the attention of the Mengyuan troops was all focused on dealing with the Tang Zhan troops in front of the pass, and the Xiao Tian troops, who had no time to deal with the raid in the rear, were attacked before and after, and the troops of Wusu Erji were caught off guard......

Xiao Tian, as the main general this time, did not go into battle in person, but sat in the rear to command. Seeing the troops boarding the enemy ship with a surging momentum, killing the enemy and abandoning their armor and not wanting to fight, Xiao Tian nodded with satisfaction - his plan was successful.

Su Jia saw it on the side, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Wuliang Tuoduo arranged for his cronies to be the main general, and when Tang Zhan's eldest brother's troops turned around and pursued, his own cronies and generals took advantage of the situation to dispatch the main force of the naval army to occupy the main road of the Yangtze River, and wanted to break our army in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the tailwind...... However, we guessed his intentions in advance, and left a hand in the rear to observe and analyze the enemy's movements; fortunately, we did not go to the 'Changlong Valley' to outflank and intercept according to the order of Tang Zhan's eldest brother, otherwise our navy would really fall into the trap and not be able to extricate itself...... We won this bet, Ah Tian—"

Xiao Tian smiled and responded: "That's right, Wuliang Tuoduo is ruthless, and even his own subordinates are calculating, I believe that although he ordered his subordinates to take advantage of the wind and the terrain to attack the Tang Zhan brothers' troops in reverse, he must not have thought about the aftermath of the defeat...... Now occupying the Jiangdao Pass seems to have gained a geographical advantage, but our army has outflanked and encircled it so much that the Jiangkou, which originally occupied the natural danger, has become a 'cage place' from which it cannot be escaped. Our army was flanked in front and back, and at this river pass, it was the troops of Uliang Todo who really died here, ......"

"Hmm......" Su Jia nodded with satisfaction, looking at Xiao Tian, who was becoming more and more mature, Su Jia couldn't help but secretly feel that Xiao Tian had changed too fast compared to his previous indecision, and even he couldn't believe it......

"Kill-" Hu Yidi's side still took the lead in charging at the forefront of the formation. The Meng Yuan soldiers who reacted wanted to fight back head-on, Hu Yidi shot very fast, with ten golden knives attached to his body, and the "Eight Desolation Sword Array" cracked out like clouds, accompanied by the turbulence of the river waves, and the sound of knives resounded in the sky.

"Ahh

When the Meng Yuan soldiers behind him saw it, they were all frightened, their feet and limbs couldn't help trembling, and even the knives in their hands trembled.

Of course, Hu Yidi would not give him a chance, the soles of his feet shook, and a telekinetic urge, and the long knife behind his back burst out of the air. A blade of golden light fell from the sky, Hu Yidi jumped up and held the long knife, and flew down into the air to slash horizontally, and before the Mengyuan soldiers raised their hands to stand, their eyes were dumbfounded...... The sword flashed, blood splattered, and the crimson soaked the entire bow of the ship......

Xiao Tian's troops were like a bamboo, and under the lead of Hu Yidi, the army smashed into the ship from the stern of the Mengyuan naval army in one go, and the Mengyuan ship formation was suddenly scattered, and even the supplies to deal with the Tang War in front could not be supplied......

And the Tang war troops who were in the front against Wusu Erji also gained more and more advantages, once again turning the unfavorable situation around. Tang Zhanzheng felt strange, and looked at Mengyuan's fleet from a distance...... Tang Zhan seemed to have guessed something, staring at the warships behind him, and when he saw the ships and soldiers of Xiao Tian's troops through the light of the fire, he realized that Xiao Tian did not go to the "Long Dragon Valley" to intercept Wuliang Todo as ordered, but had been standing by in place - it turned out that Xiao Tian had already seen Wuliang Todo's tricks...... But Tang Zhan did not thank Xiao Tian in his heart for this, on the contrary, today, who was in an abnormal mood, was still blaming Xiao Tian for his dereliction of duty to let go of Wuliang Tuoduo because he did not obey the order.

Seeing that Xiao Tian's troops and himself were on both sides of the Jiangdao Pass, Tang Zhan would not let go of the opportunity again this time -- seeing that there was a "dead end" at the Jiangdao Pass, Tang Zhan immediately ordered the whole army to concentrate all the firepower and launch a final attack against the enemy against the current......

On the other hand, Wu Su Erji was already completely panicked, and when he wanted to turn around and launch a counterattack and return to Xiangyang to break through, he found that his ship formation had been shattered by Xiao Tian's sailors, and with the hand-to-hand knife battle of the soldiers boarding the ship, it was too late to re-form the formation.

Moreover, the naval army left by Wuliang Tuoduo was originally inferior to the vanguard naval army, and now it was caught in front and rear at this Jiangdao pass where there was no way out......

"Ahh......h

Sure enough, a flying shadow flew through the air, and he was leaping over the head of Usulji...... "Protect the general!-" The guards beside Usulji noticed it, and immediately shouted nervously, and several people fought in a row in front of Usulji, making a final desperate resistance to protect the main general.

However, a ghost roared in the sky, and the "Sky Breaking Slash" galloped down, and the blink of an eye-like kung fu ghost roared by...... Before he could scream, the soldiers in front of him who were protecting Usulji were all bloody and bloody, with frightened eyes, and died in pain.

Then a shadow landed steadily, the swift shadow of the knife technique galloped, and the killing was only in an instant, and he didn't think that it was Su Jia who performed the "Soul Breaking Knife Technique".

Wu Su Erji knew that he was dying, but he still didn't want to give up...... "Ah-" Wu Su Erji pulled out the Miao knife on his body and met Su Jia head-on, as if he was going to make a last stand.

Su Jia turned sideways, but he didn't see it, but he slowly showed his sword......

"Bang-bang-" There were several loud bangs, and the last few Mengyuan warships of Wusu Erji were sunk, and the remaining soldiers died and fled...... Now in the broken fire of this river pass, the Mengyuan naval army in Xiangyang has been wiped out in a real sense...... (To be continued.) )
