Zhang Chengzong used 24,000 people to encircle and annihilate more than 30,000 people in the triangle area of Xiaozi Mountain, Toad Gang, and Wangjiazhai.

Although more than 5,000 of the enemy were killed by heavy artillery fire and crossbow arrows, the remaining strength of the enemy was still equal to his own.

And the most crucial point: whether it is artillery or ballista carts, although lethal enough, this requires huge logistics.

Zhang Chengzong's troops traveled long distances, and the supplies they carried were naturally limited, especially the amount of gunpowder, cannonballs, and copper crossbow arrows was not abundant.

If you hit the enemy for a short time, then of course there is no problem, but once the stalemate starts, the problem will be strict.

The 12,000 men of Chang Delin's division blocked the 8,000 reinforcements of Qizhou City, which seemed to have a numerical advantage, but it could not solve the battle in a short time.

As for Hao Shaoqi, who was preparing to sneak attack Qizhou City, it was difficult to ride a tiger now.

The enemy had 30,000 men, and there was also heavy artillery fire, and all his 9,000 men rushed forward, and they could not support it for a day.

Retreat? This question cannot be thought of at all, nor can it be thought of.

The first is that he can't retreat at all, once the position is loosened and the enemy sends 20,000 people to chase after him, it will be the end of the total annihilation.

Secondly, even if the enemy does not pursue him, but the whole army presses up, it will be terrible for Chang Delin's headquarters in Phoenix Ridge, thirty miles north of the city!

Hao Shaoqi knew very well that he couldn't order the 6,000 infantry troops he had left in Huangmei County to come over, even if they were allowed to come over on foot, the yellow flowers would be cold.

The only way now is to call for help.

It is closer to the Yangtze River, and it can only inform the Dingguo general Miao Sanguan of the enemy situation, and at the same time ask Jiangnan for help.

"Oops!" Miao Sanguan received an urgent message from Hao Shaoqi, and immediately sat down on the Taishi chair: "Qizhou City turned out to be a golden Han army with a red flag, this is really bad! I have failed the emperor's trust, and I am a sinner of the Ming Kingdom through the ages!"

Miao Sanguan's wife, Zhang Rulian, was also his personal bodyguard: "Master, now is not the time for you to regret it, let alone blame yourself! Zhang Chengzong, Chang Delin, Hao Shaoqi, and they have a total of more than 50,000 people, and this is the entire main force of the Jiujiang battalion. ”

"If they lose too much, the Jiujiang camp will be in danger. If the Jiujiang camp cannot be saved, there will be no danger to defend the east of Wuxian County, and the situation in the entire Huguang area will immediately become uncontrollable! Hurry up and send reinforcements, otherwise it will be too late. ”

As the saying goes: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. One wrong step, one wrong step.

Before Miao Sanguan could recover his strength, the flag officer of the Chinese army flew in and shouted: "Prime Minister, Zhang Chengzong urgently asks for help!"

"What?" Miao Sanguan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he took the letter for help and opened it tremblingly, which turned out to be Zhang Chengzong's very scribbled words: "Prime Minister: The enemy is not only Tong Tulai's Han army with more than 30,000 people under the blue banner, followed by Liu Zhiyuan's Han army with more than 40,000 people with yellow flags. Now that our department has been counter-surrounded, gunpowder, shells, and crossbow arrows are extremely consumed, and reinforcements are urgently needed!"

Now the situation is finally completely clear.

Tong Tulai and Liu Zhiyuan had a total of 80,000 men, and there were nearly 40,000 people in the city of Qizhou, and the total strength of the enemy exceeded 120,000.

If all the men and horses of Yechen and Alai in the east are pressed up, there will be 200,000 troops under Luckdehun.

Although Miao Sanguan was very nervous, his heart was running at high speed.

The total strength of his Jiujiang battalion was less than 60,000, and there was no way to confront the enemy's 200,000 people head-on.

Now reinforcements are needed in all three directions, but the Jiujiang battalion has no troops to adjust. Of course, the Yuezhou battalion has soldiers, but the distance is too far.

It is difficult to save the fire from far water.

Zhang Rulian saw that Miao Sanguan was still unable to make a decision, so she whispered: "Master, the only way now is to use Jiang Tengjiao's water masters, they have 70,000 people." ”

Miao Sanguan shook his head: "The emperor has never agreed to do this when the water division landed and operated. ”

"Sir, you're too smart. Zhang Rulian still spoke softly: "Qi Shui, master." Although Jiang Tengjiao's large warship could not go up, his flat-bottomed Fu boat and Cangshan boat could go along the Qishui River to the west gate of Qizhou City. ”

"As far as I know, Jiang Tengjiao's flat-bottomed Fu boat is equipped with two five-inch caliber long-range guns, which can hit seven miles away. As long as four flat-bottomed Fu ships arrived at Qizhou City, the western city wall could be completely destroyed, and Hao Shaoqi's headquarters could drive Jin Li out of the city with the support of artillery fire. ”

"There is another way, order Jiang Tengjiao to immediately form a fleet equipped with Cangshan ships and centipede ships, all equipped with large crossbow arrows and tiger squat cannons. These two types of ships can sail all the way to the vicinity of the battlefield where Zhang Chengzong is located, and instigate them to retreat downstream. ”

Miao Sanguan slapped his face and issued three orders to the flag officer of the Chinese army: "Pass the order: Chang Delin's headquarters immediately dispatched 5,000 cavalry to the north to reinforce Zhang Chengzong, and he must hold on until the reinforcements arrive." ”

"Order: Jiang Tengjiao immediately dispatched 5,000 sailors to dispatch all the Cangshan ships and centipede ships into Qishui to reinforce Zhang Chengzong. Six flat-bottomed Fu ships were dispatched into Qishui as the second echelon, and the combat target was the west city wall of Qizhou City. ”

"Order: The siege troops under Hao Shaoqi's headquarters immediately concentrated in the direction of the west city gate, and prepared to cooperate with the sailors to seize Qizhou City. The 6,000 infantry troops that originally defended Huangmei County immediately sent 3,000 people north to meet Ma Shiying's southward direction. ”

The flag officer of the Chinese army turned around and went out, Miao Sanguan grabbed the teacup and took a sip, then slammed it on the table, and a pair of eyes began to narrow.

His wife Zhang Rulian knew that as long as Miao Sanguan narrowed his eyes, it meant that he had an important decision in his heart, but he had not yet given an order.

"Sir, you can't act rashly. Zhang Rulian was a little worried.

Miao Sanguan leaned on the back of the Taishi's chair and still squinted his eyes: "Is the old man a reckless person? The emperor has put the entire half of the country into my hands, and now it is not the time when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, how can I act rashly?"

"I think you just want to act rashly!" Zhang Rulian smiled: "As the saying goes, husband and wife are of the same heart. If your mind can hide from others, can you still hide it from me as a wife?"

Miao Sanguan finally opened his eyes, indicating that he had thought things through: "How much can you know about military affairs?" The Jiujiang battalion is indeed without soldiers, but it does not mean that the old man has no soldiers in his hands, but it is just that it is not yet time. ”

"I was worried just now, it's not that there are no soldiers, but that the three troops that went out are likely to suffer heavy losses. You must know that the emperor can't see the blood of his brothers the most. Once there is a serious injury, the old man really can't face the emperor's heartache. ”

Miao Sanguan is planning in Jiujiang, and the battlefield has reached the white-hot stage of the final life-and-death battle.

The Phoenix Wall is actually a naturally formed key pass.

When the Manchu Tatars first arrived in the Central Plains, they did not have time to understand the topography here.

Chang Delin was ordered to seize Fenghuang Yuan, and completely cut off the only way to reinforce Xiaozi Mountain and Toad Gang from Qizhou.

For three whole days, the 8,000 cavalry sent by Jin Li failed to cross the thunder pool by half a step.

Miao Sanguan's order came, and Chang Delin drew out 5,000 cavalry without the slightest hesitation and decided to personally lead reinforcements to Zhang Chengzong.

This, of course, requires a huge risk.

If Hao Shaoqi can't contain the Jin Li in Qizhou City, once the 30,000 infantry troops press up, Phoenix Wall will still not be able to resist, which is also what Chang Delin is worried about.

The military order is like a mountain, and now there is no room for bargaining.

After a night of rapid marching, Chang Delin finally arrived at the south side of Zhang Chengzong's battlefield, and the artillery fire on the high ground in front of him reflected the sky red, which was particularly dazzling before dawn.

"Grandma, the enemy is so crazy, they actually attacked all night, Brother Zhang Chengzong has suffered a lot! Tong Tulai and Liu Zhiyuan, the two eight lambs, are probably impatient, and they dare to hit Lao Tzu's gun head. ”

Chang Delin found that the enemy and us were still fighting before dawn, and of course he knew what was going on. Now I can only watch it for the time being, because the war horse has no body.

"Someone! Send three ten-person scout teams to investigate the enemy's situation, and the others will serve the war horses on the spot, and wait for the next step to order!"

The darkness before dawn didn't last long, and in the blink of an eye it turned white in the east.

"Report to the general: General Zhang has abandoned the Wangjiazhai Heights, and is currently focusing on the defense of the Short Mountain on the west side and the Toad Gang on the east side, forming a corner and the enemy. The enemy did not care about casualties at all, and attacked in a completely crowding manner, apparently trying to consume General Zhang's gunpowder, cannonballs, and crossbow arrows as much as possible. ”

Chang Delin didn't raise his head: "Whose troops are we facing and how long do you estimate General Zhang can hold on?"

"General: In front of us is Liu Zhiyuan's 3,000-foot army, mainly attacking the southwest side of Toad Gang. The artillery fire on the two heights was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and it was impossible to estimate General Zhang's gunpowder stock for the time being. ”

"Is the artillery fire strong and weak?" Chang Delin looked up at the sky, it was already close to brightness: "I'll teach you to be a good man, you must remember: if the battle just starts, the artillery fire is strong and weak, it is to lure the enemy." The battle has been going on so far, which shows that General Zhang's stockpile of gunpowder is running out, and he can only fire in the form of focused strikes. ”

"Brothers: the enemy is attacking all night, and now is the time of the greatest fatigue. Chang Delin flew on his horse, raised the iron spear in his hand and shouted: "The whole army has it, follow me to fight through the encirclement, and tell the brothers inside that reinforcements are coming!"

Chang Delin's iron spear pointed forward, and the war horse under his crotch had already taken the lead in rushing out.

"Kill—"

With a shout, five thousand cavalry split into five streams and rushed behind the enemy in front.

Surprise and unprepared to attack the enemy.

Chang Delin led an army of 5,000 troops to suddenly appear on the battlefield, so that the enemy attacking the high ground was immediately attacked by the enemy, and the 3,000-foot army was immediately scattered.

But two legs couldn't outrun four legs, and they were slaughtered by Chang Delin in just half an hour.

Seeing Chang Delin suddenly come in, Zhang Chengzong, who was commanding the battle on the top of the mountain, not only did not be happy, but shouted in panic: "Turn around immediately!" Brother Delin: Hurry up and order the brothers to turn around!"

It's too late!

When Chang Delin felt that the earth tremors were getting stronger and stronger, it was too late.

Six thousand cavalry suddenly appeared on the left and right sides and attacked Chang Delin's headquarters, so that Chang Delin's five thousand cavalry had no time to turn around and was already attacked.

The enemy was prepared and had two cavalry in ambush!

Chang Delin's crotch is a BMW, and others don't turn around, but he is not affected.

Turning the horse's head and seeing his brothers being picked off the horse by the enemy one after another, and then trampled into meat by the galloping war horse, Chang Delin was immediately furious.

"Bold thief, look for death!

Chang Delin roared angrily, and pounced with his spear at the bearded man who led the charge of the enemy.

Chang Delin was dressed in white, white armor and white horses, standing out from the crowd, and he couldn't be seen without wanting to.

The reason why Chang Delin was angry was that this bearded guy obviously rushed towards him, but when his own soldiers caught up with him, they fell one after another under this guy's double knives in a blink of an eye.

Phoenix San nodded, and Chang Delin's shot was a killer move.

The bearded guy really didn't give it for nothing, and in his busy schedule, he cut and twisted the two knives, and he had already put the gun head out.

Chang Delin met a strong opponent for the first time, so he could only fight with spirit.

Seven shots were stabbed in a row, and the seven spearheads were pierced into the enemy's chest in a line.

Poof!

The bearded man dodged three shots, and was finally stabbed in the heart by the fourth.

Chang Delin gritted his silver teeth, pressed the back handle of the spear with his left hand, and was ready to lift this bearded man up.

Phew――

The bearded man was dying, and he threw his double knives at Chang Delin!
