The topography of Yicheng is unique, and the Han River naturally divides the whole territory into two parts: east and west.

With the Han River as the boundary, it is a plain, hilly and mountainous area to the east and west respectively, and extends in steps. Surrounded by mountains on the east and west, the central river valley plain, high in the north and low in the south, open to the south.

The eastern part belongs to the remnants of the Dahong Mountains, and the northern end of the mountain range is east-west. The southern end is mostly north-south trending, with a slight southwest-sloping slope. The western part belongs to the remnants of Jingshan Mountain, which mostly shows a north-south trend and is a hilly area.

The embankments on the east and west banks of the Han River are the natural passages for the troops, which is very convenient, so Yicheng has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Yicheng is the best way to attack the hinterland of the Central Plains from the south, or to enter Huguang from the Central Plains.

Back then, Guan Yunchang flooded the Seventh Army and captured Pang De, and the battlefield was in this area.

In the past ten years, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Lao Huihui and others have repeatedly entered and exited here, and they have also taken a fancy to the unique advantages of this choke point.

Since it is a battleground for soldiers, the eyes of both sides will be closely watched.

More than 1,000 people on Sun Yanling's left flank fought their way north, and in the end hundreds of people rushed out, not because of how strong their combat effectiveness was, but because the established combat steps were like this.

Encirclement and reinforcements, this is the established policy of Miao Sanguan's plan to eat Kong Youde's former army.

Now that Sun Yanling is surrounded, the bait is ready, and the first step of the battle has been achieved, so Wang Jincai released a group of people to report to Sun Long according to the predetermined plan.

According to the calculation of the distance, it would take about two and a half hours for Sun Yanling to rush out of the hundreds of people to find reinforcements, and then rush over with all his might.

Wang Jincai also made combat deployments at this time, preparing to meet Sun Long's main force.

Various factors on the battlefield are intertwined, and the battle pattern is changing rapidly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the hundreds of horsemen who broke through the encirclement and moved the rescue soldiers broke through the encirclement, the earth in the north was already shaking, and then the banner was waving, and a black army appeared in Wang Jincai's sight, with no less than 20,000 people.

It turned out that according to the predetermined plan, Hao Shaoqi should challenge Sun Yanling, and then lure the enemy out to surround while fighting, this tactical action generally does not alarm the enemy in the distance.

However, Hao Shaoqi accidentally broke through Sun Yanling's baggage camp, and a fire burned all the grain, grass and gunpowder.

The explosion of the gunpowder stockpile of 5,000 people in a month is an earth-shattering movement, and no one else can even wonder about it.

In addition, the enemies in the baggage camp were not all killed, and more than 100 routs escaped, and then rushed to Yicheng in advance for help, Sun Long also knew that his precious son was attacked by the enemy and suffered heavy losses.

Sun Long, as Kong Youde's hardcore general, is also the former army commander, and bears the heavy responsibility of defeating the enemy head-on.

After the enemy changed the normal state for half a year, and now he is attacking the door in turn, what follow-up actions are there, Sun Long didn't figure it out at once, but it is urgent to reinforce his son.

Because of this, on the one hand, Sun Long sent a herald to Xiangyang City to report the enemy situation to Kong Youde, and on the other hand, he set out the camp and led all the horses of the front army to urgently go south for reinforcements.

Hao Shaoqi fought and retreated along the way, and hurriedly set up some traps on the way to delay time, and by the time Sun Yanling chased him to Fangma Mountain and was surrounded, Sun Long's army was already not far away.

Wang Jincai annihilated Sun Yanling's 300 personal soldiers, and then killed more than half of Sun Yanling's more than 1,000 horsemen on his left flank, which took time.

It was precisely this time difference that Sun Long led an army of 20,000 to arrive in time, and the entire battlefield suddenly changed dramatically.

When Sun Yanling was surrounded, the forces of Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai had the absolute upper hand, with nearly 20,000 people besieging Sun Yanling's more than 4,000 people.

Now that Sun Long led the main force to arrive, the whole situation was turned upside down all of a sudden, and more than 20,000 people formed a north-south attack on Wang Jincai's more than 10,000 people.

Wang Jincai saw that the big thing was not good, and immediately passed down the order: "The 2,000 people on Fangma Mountain must fight to the death and not retreat to ensure that this commanding height is in our hands." The 10,000 troops who intercepted it head-on immediately divided 8,000 troops to defend the north, and another 2,000 men were divided to launch a decisive charge to the south to assist Hao Shaoqi in defeating Sun Yanling. ”

Under the shape shì swaying back and forth, the narrow strip of land with a length of less than eight miles from north to south suddenly appeared two meat sandwich buns:

Sun Yanling's 3,000 people in the south were each attacked by Hao Shaoqi and Wang Jincai.

In the middle, Wang Jincai's 10,000-strong army was in the middle of the attack of Sun Yanling and Sun Long's main force.

Hao Shaoqi is not very old, but he has been fighting bloody battles for five or six years, and he has extremely rich experience in actual combat. A sudden rise of smoke and dust from the north indicated that enemy reinforcements had arrived.

If you can't solve the besieged Sun Yanling and let your troops come together, today's outcome may be very bad.

"General Wang Jincai is now under the attack of the enemy and is in danger, and the time has come for him to finally fight hard. Either you die or I die, brothers rush with me-"

Hao Shaoqi shouted wildly, and first launched an attack on Sun Yanling's defensive circle.

Sun Yanling didn't expect his reinforcements to come so quickly, although he was under the attack from the north and south, his morale was greatly boosted, and everyone was fighting wildly and fighting bravely.

Hao Shaoqi wants to save Wang Jincai, and Sun Long wants to save his son Sun Yanling.

People are of the same mind, and their hearts are of the same mind. The four armies of the enemy and ours were now divided into two fronts and charged almost at the same time.

Both sides are elite cavalry under their own command, and as soon as they collide, it will be a decisive battle to the death.

The capital of Sun Long's army is bird guns, but the biggest problem with rope bird guns is that in the face of the desperate impact of the cavalry, everyone only has one chance to fire.

After Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi's first phalanx was shot down by the birds, the second phalanx was already mixed with the enemy's cavalry.

All the firearms of Sun Long, Sun Yanling and his son were useless, and the troops of Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi finally brought out the power of cavalry and shooting.

If they fought head-to-head one-on-one, Sun Long and Sun Yanling's soldiers were not opponents, mainly because they relied too much on bird guns, which greatly reduced their hand-to-hand combat ability.

But after all, Sun Long's main force had more than 20,000 people, more than double that of Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi. As the battle became more and more intense, Sun Long's superiority in strength became greater and greater.

Because Sun Long divided his troops into two groups, the front and back, and took turns to attack Wang Jincai's 8,000 cavalry, so that he could save horsepower and increase the impact in disguise.

After half an hour of rushing and killing, Wang Jincai had already lost one-third of the 8,000 people facing Sun Long's main force, and the corpses on both sides of the embankment were all over the field, and the red blood flowed down the river beach into the Han River, and the entire river turned red.

The more than 2,000 people who attacked Sun Yanling were also lost by Hao Shaoqi, and the entire front was already shaky.

According to the military order, Hao Shaoqi must fight to the death and not retreat, and Sun Yanling's troops must not be allowed to advance half a step, and must hold out until reinforcements arrive.

In fact, Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi also have full confidence, because there is still a main force on their side that has not yet appeared, that is, the main force of Zehou, the system general Tian Jianxiu, and Wu Ruyi, which is more than 30,000 people.

Sun Long, Sun Yanling and his son were outnumbered by the crowd, of course, they were full of confidence. Wang Jincai and Hao Shaoqi also doubled their courage because they still had a new force on their side and did not appear.

Both sides rushed to the west of the sun, losing more than half of their forces, and almost simultaneously lost the strength to fight again.

It's not that the soldiers don't have the courage to fight, it's that the war horses can't support it. More than half of the people have already turned into foot combat because of the death of their horses.

The cavalry turned into an infantry army, this was already the last fight for the death, the two sides could no longer be opportunistic, and Sun Long's strength advantage was getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that the annihilation of the whole army was imminent, Wang Jincai was forced to have no choice but to lead the 2,000 cavalry who held the commanding heights of Fangma Mountain to rush down and enter the final battle as a new force.

Seeing this, Sun Long did not hesitate, and also threw more than 1,000 people from his own personal guards into the battlefield, and the last moment came.

The first to distinguish the winner was more than 2,000 Sun Yanling, who was sandwiched.

When the so-called enemies see each other, they are very red-eyed. Hao Shaoqi had no one else in his eyes, but rushed to the death, chasing Sun Yanling tightly to fight.

Because Hao Shaoqi has changed a war horse, Sun Yanling has no war horse to change, so there is a slight advantage in the middle.

After two hours of hard fighting, Sun Yanling finally fell into the dust once he stumbled, and at the same time decided his fate.

Sun Yanling was killed, and Hao Shaoqi smashed his head with a stick.

Hao Shaoqi flew off the horse and picked up Sun Yanling's spear, picked up Sun Yanling's body with a spear, and then got on the horse again and shouted: "Sun Yanling has been killed, and the others will not die!"

At other times, Hao Shaoqi's action can shake the enemy's morale and collapse.

But today's situation is just the opposite, because the person who came over was Sun Yanling's father, Sun Long.

Seeing his son, who was also the most promising son, die in battle in front of him, Sun Long felt a pain in his heart and opened his mouth to spit out a mouthful of blood.

The revenge of killing the son is not shared.

Sun Long then entered a state of madness, wielding his twin swords to kill the battlefield from behind.

The main general will be the first to charge, and the soldiers will of course fight bravely.

Wang Jincai was caught off guard, so he had to step forward to resist the crazy Sun Long, but he was cut into three by Sun Long's double knives in less than three combinations.

This sudden and huge change made Hao Shaoqi angry.

Throwing away the spear wearing Sun Yanling's corpse in his hand, Hao Shaoqi urged the war horse to rush towards Sun Long At the critical moment, the horn suddenly sounded in the direction of Tianmo Ridge in the north, and the sound of cannons shook the sky, as if the entire hilly area was boiling.

A huge shock was transmitted from the ground, leaving both the enemy and the enemy, already exhausted, stunned.

I can't help but be in a daze, because everyone found that there was no light in sight five miles to the north, and it seemed that there were nearly 100,000 horses mixed together, and it was really the world that changed color.

Hao Shaoqi was the first to see Tian Jianxiu's military flag, and then he saw a lot of banners rushing out of the mountain.

These sudden banners did not all go south, most of them were killed to the north, only Tian Jianxiu led 30,000 men and horses from his headquarters to kill south, attacking the back of Sun Long's army.

Hao Shaoqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Tian Jianxiu's 30,000 fresh troops into battle, no matter how powerful Sun Long is, he can't do anything, and the annihilation of the whole army is just around the corner.

What made Hao Shaoqi wonder was that all the tens of thousands of banners that were slaughtering to the north seemed very unfamiliar, who were they and why did they appear at the same time as Tian Jianxiu?
