Chapter 5 Chapter 5 No Trace
Zhao Guangyi's child's trick succeeded. When the Song Army gathered 800 daredevils to rush to the beach, Yang Shou and Sun Zhenzheng organized the soldiers to fight out of the camp, and were about to repeat the old trick to wipe them out in one fell swoop. The ground was stuck on both sides of the river, and the soldiers on the pontoon bridge immediately nailed countless piles of different lengths into the water. At that time, countless soldiers of the Song Army who had already been waiting for the momentum rushed across the river along the pontoon bridge.
Seeing that the Song army turned the impossible into a possible miracle, the morale of the defenders was lost, while the Song army was like a rainbow, driving straight in. Although Yang Shou and Sun Zhen struggled to support, they couldn't resist. Those who fled fled, the defenders were defeated, and Caishiji fell.
Zhao Guangyi, dressed in armor, stepped onto the east bank of the Yangtze River with an iron rod in his hand, looking around with great vigor and vigor.
The general under his command asked: "Qiantui, are we occupying the camp of the Tang Army and waiting for General Cao to arrive?"
Zhao Guangyi smiled proudly and said: "Soldiers are precious and fast. Now that we have crossed the river, we should go at full speed and attack Jinling. Burn the water village of the Tang army and order the three armies to set off immediately."
The generals under his command acted according to the order, leaving a group of troops to guard both sides of the Yangtze River to protect the pontoon bridge. The other troops immediately assembled and rushed forward without stopping.
This pontoon bridge cannot be broken. Without this pontoon bridge, once the Song army crossed the Yangtze River, it would be a desperate battle. They could only win but not lose.Moreover, the people of the Tang Dynasty fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and all the food, grass, and supplies were transferred to the big city that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. If the pontoon bridge was broken, the Song army would have to fight hungry. Dare not ignore this lifeline.
He left Yang Haiqing and Zhu Yuming behind, and led his troops to defend the pontoon bridge. He personally led the remaining 50,000 mixed infantry and horse troops to rush forward without stopping.
Outside Wuhu City, Cao Bin received the news that Zhao Guangyi had broken through the Yangtze River and headed straight for Jinling. His general Hao Sicheng said worriedly: "The King Jin Qiansui underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. If something goes wrong, it would be bad if we lost the commander of the three armies." Now, why don't we abandon this Wuhu city and rush to join King Jin?"
Cao Bin groaned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The 100,000 Tang troops at Hukou were unharmed, and they will surely come after them. If the defenders of the cities along the way are still there, they can not only respond to them, but also provide them with food and grass. The baggage, then steal our back route, it is better to cut off the wings as much as possible. As for King Jin..."
Cao Bin smiled slightly and said, "Since Lin Huzi's death, the Tang Kingdom has had no good generals, and the king of Jin has all the elite imperial guards, and all the generals under his command have experienced many battles, so there is no need to worry if they will not encounter strong enemies. "
Hao Sicheng frowned and said, "But... how long will we be able to join forces with Jin Wang Qiansui when we go all the way to attack the city? gone."
Cao Bin said with a smile: "On the battlefield, things change rapidly, how can you be rigid. You just listen to my orders and speed up the attack on the city."
Hao Sicheng couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had no choice but to accept his orders and rushed to the city to command the siege.
Cao Bin stood on a high place, looking towards the direction of Jinling, and said to himself thoughtfully: "The king of Jin is impatient, he can't wait for me, let alone wait for me now, I'd better be more sensible, wait for the king of Jin to attack." Under Jinling City, meet him again..."
The news that Yang Hao is still alive has already been sent by Zhao Guangyi to the capital. The process of Yang Hao's death as a second life was based on his self-reported experience, and was drafted by the clerk Chang Hui after sorting out and polishing. Fan Ruoshui was also mentioned in the report. He is indispensable. Although Fan Ruoshui has endured two years of hard work on the banks of the Yangtze River, he has reached the sky in one step and achieved achievements that others may not have achieved after 20 years of hard work. , and waited by King Jin's side. Yang Hao didn't ignore Zhao Guangyi's reason for returning to Beijing alone, and since the battle situation in the south of the Yangtze River had not been decided for a day, I'm afraid that the Zhao family was not in the mood to think about the affairs of the northern kingdom, so he had to stay by Zhao Guangyi's side for the time being. The political situation in the south of the Yangtze River is corrupt and the morale of the army is low. Li Yu has no ambitions. The only good general who can stand a fight and can prolong the resistance time is also killed by him with a simple alienation plan. Yang Hao now only hopes that this war, whose outcome has long been doomed, will end sooner.As long as there is still a war zone here, there will be more displaced victims and people who died in the war. The sooner the Tang Kingdom is destroyed, the imperial court's policy of comforting the people and the environment can come down one day earlier, and he can return to Bianliang one day earlier. Following Zhao Guangyi's side, he didn't waste this good opportunity. He was fully understanding and fully understanding how the imperial army mobilized, how to fight, marching, food and fodder transportation, army morale, and even the offensive tactics and defensive methods he was good at. Learn. Direct experience from war is more useful than knowledge from books.Following Zhao Guangyi's side, watching him discuss matters with the generals, give orders, and direct the battle across the river, watching him receive military information and remotely command several other battles, condescending and overlooking the overall situation, has given him a lot of tactical experience. Under the circumstances that he couldn't ask for a retreat, he was forced to choose to advance as a retreat, to conquer the world for the unknown country, but even though he had many favorable conditions to stand out in the northwest, he did not dare to be careless about his future.The future has become unknown. Although the objective evaluation of the strength of all parties and the gains and losses of the war at that time is still in his mind, and it is still useful, he understands that it cannot be a magic weapon for him to win. What do the scholars of later generations understand, but the soldiers of this era really don't understand?No, they understand better than anyone else. No one knows their enemies better than them, their strengths and weaknesses, but understanding does not mean they can solve them. Due to various conditions, they can only adapt to local conditions and choose the most suitable one. Their choice, not the choice most suitable for historical objective evaluation. After he became a part of this world, in this labyrinth, he can only follow all the rules here and use various objective conditions here to act instead of guiding his behavior based on a little later experience.What's more... Are the conclusions drawn by people of later generations from the point of view that everything has ended are objective and most accurate?That's hard to say. When he is in it and makes some adjustments according to the historical knowledge he has mastered, the reaction and choice made by the opponent will be changed according to his actions, so the evaluation and analysis based on the established history will start from him to take the first step Sometimes it becomes a useless experience. For example, if he already knows the gains and losses of the enemy and us in a certain battle that has taken place in history, and then he travels through time and space and enters this battle, can he become a military god?That's just an ignorant kid's fantasy.When he stepped into this war game, if he couldn't dominate the situation, then he could only be cannon fodder, even if he knew the future well, he couldn't change the result. But what if he could be the coach of a side where he can make changes for the mistakes that are about to happen?Then will the other party still follow the original routine mechanically?The other party will also change due to changes, and what he originally mastered is no longer useful.It's like a boxer standing in the audience and watching two boxers fight on the stage. He can see clearly who has lost miserably on the stage, and he can analyze it logically. But let him go back in time and come on stage to replace the loser. At most, it only takes advantage of a punch. From the time he changed his style of play and took advantage of the first punch, the opponent's reaction will change accordingly, and it is impossible to follow the process he has already understood, unless his punch has completely smashed the opponent. Otherwise, he can only rely on his strength to continue fighting, his foresight will be useless, and his plans and calculations will all be ineffective. If he still acts based on the analysis of the established results, then he will It is a boxer who mechanically plays tricks in front of his opponent, and his death will be uglier than the original loser. Therefore, he must take every opportunity to learn and master as much as possible. There is no trace of the future trend. He has no cheating device to open the plug-in, so he can only rely on his own intelligence to start from scratch. "My lord." Mu Yu galloped to his side, and Yang Hao praised: "The imperial army is well-trained, tens of thousands of people are like one, and they march like a moving steel city. It's really amazing." "That's right!" Mu Yu's eyes flicked across the team that was rushing forward like a torrent, and he asked in a low voice: "My lord, if we occupy the northwest land, one day...will we have a war with them?" "I hope not. If there is, it should be peace..." Yang Hao sighed softly: "If I have to, I don't want to have a war with them. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister chooses to die of old age. I feign death to escape, that is It is a pity that this goal is on the verge of failure. If in the future... the king forces the ministers to die..." "How about the grown-up?" Yang Hao was silent for a moment, then smiled: "The minister has no choice but to kill Jun... first!" Mu Yu was so excited when he heard that, he clenched the weapon at his waist, blushed and said vibrately, "Xiao Yu swears to follow the Lord to the death!" Suddenly there was a horse galloping in front of him, Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Shut up." The knight on the steed horse had a triangular red flag on his back, galloped the horse, and the small flag fluttered in the wind. As soon as he saw the red flag on his back, the soldiers gave way everywhere he passed, and the horse plowed through the barriers as if riding the wind and waves. The army's steel torrent ran all the way to Zhao Guangyi's commander-in-chief's banner before he got off the saddle, walked forward hurriedly, and said with one knee on his knees: "Report, there is a road ahead of the Tang army rushing to help." Zhao Guangyi reined in his horse and asked in a deep voice, "Who is coming? How many soldiers and horses are there?" The Tanma reported: "There is a word Du on the handsome flag, and looking at its origin, it should be from the Tiande Army Capital Yuhou Du Zhen's troops from Moling Pass. The troops are all infantry, about ten thousand people." Zhao Guangyi looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "There are only 10,000 soldiers and horses, how dare you come to die? Hahaha, order the three armies to advance quickly, and I will crush them!" "Wait a long time." The commander of the imperial army, Lu Yelan, hurriedly stopped the trumpeter who was about to shake the banner, and rushed to Zhao Guangyi and said: "My lord, our army has just crossed the river by force. Although the soldiers are brave, they are not without physical fatigue. In a hard battle, the loss is not small. Now there are only more than 10,000 Tang troops rushing to help Moling Pass, and they dare to rush to meet our army. Obviously they only know that Caishiji has a loss, but they don’t know that we have How many people have crossed the river, and we never expected that we would go on the road without taking a rest, and now we are almost facing them head-on. That being the case, why bother to fight recklessly, we might as well take a step back, lay an ambush in advance, and kill him by surprise. To reduce the casualties of our army, we can gather and annihilate them, so as not to see the situation is not good and flee everywhere, and chasing and annihilating them will be troublesome.” "Hmm... what Master Lu said makes sense." Zhao Guangyi, who had passed the Yangtze River, was no longer in such an urgent mood, and this Lu Yelan was a senior general of the Forbidden Army, and he was the target of Zhao Guangyi's recruiting, so he had to pay attention to what he said. Casualties, why not do it? Zhao Guangyi immediately ordered the three armies to stop advancing, and the rear team changed to the front team and rushed back. There is a large lake more than 30 miles north of Caishiji, called Cihu, and not far to the west of Cihu is the Yangtze River. Zhao Guangyi sent Wu Gaofei to lead Eight thousand infantry were waiting for Du Zhen on the only way to Caishiji. He and Lu Yelan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at both ends of the narrow section between Cihu and the Yangtze River, waiting for Wu Gaofei to pretend to be defeated. Really 20,000 people were brought into this dead land. In the grass, Yang Hao was lying there hiding his whereabouts, when there was a rustling sound, Fan Xiucai crawled over.Yang Hao greeted him lazily. Fan Ruoshui knew that he was a popular person in Zhao Guangyi's eyes and that he was the Bole who recommended him. When he saw him, he was very affectionate: "Yang Zuoshi, in the past, Fan was only Knowing that the Song army is well-trained and able to conquer battles, today I know that the reputation is not in vain. The soldiers and horses of the Song State are resourceful and courageous. How can the Tang State’s army be rivaled? Du Zhen only has more than 10,000 people, and the thousand-year-old army of 50,000 Do you still need to fight, even if you pounce on them, you will crush them to death, but Qiantose is so cautious, who will win the battle if such an army does not win the battle?" Yang Hao was a little ashamed of the character of this official fan, so he said with a faint smile: "On the battlefield, weather, location, harmony, morale, and strategy are all the keys to the victory or defeat. It is not because there are many people that you will win the battle." , Throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which fewer have won more, and even eight hundred thousand have broken through one hundred thousand. It is good for Chitose to be more cautious." Fan Xiucai said with a dry smile: "What the Zuo envoy said is that Fan doesn't know about soldiers, so it's ridiculous." Yang Hao smiled faintly. He was bored on the ground, so it was fine if someone talked to him, so he said, "Do you know what kind of person Du Zhen is who came here to help? He was able to come to the aid regardless of life and death, and he is also a rare general who can make a decisive decision." Fan Ruoshui said: "I have lived in Caishiji for three years, and I know a little about the nearby garrisons and generals. There are two guards at Moling Pass. One is Zheng Yanhua, the commander of Moling Pass. He is resourceful, a Confucian general, and has a navy of more than 10,000 people under his command. The other is Du Zhen, who lives in Du Yuhou and is the number one general under Zheng Yanhua. He is brave and good at fighting. Once Caishiji falls, his Moling Pass will not be able to hold. But what can he do if he sends troops to help?" Yang Hao sighed with emotion: "Yes, although some things in this world have changed, some things cannot be controlled or influenced by one person. What should come will come after all. It is doomed." Fan Ruoshui didn't know where his weird emotion came from, so he was at a loss when he heard it, so he just laughed and said it. Yang Hao changed his posture and asked casually, "Who else is in Mr. Fan's family?" Fan Haoshui sighed and said: "Parents, wife and children are all here. Alas, in the past three years, Fan has abandoned his family and business, left his parents, wife and children, and lived in a hut on this quarry rock. I am really ashamed of them Fortunately, the Zuo envoy recommended him, and the king of Jin favored him. Fan will eventually have a bright future, and in the future he will be able to honor his parents and treat his wife and children well." Yang Hao joked: "It's so good. Mr. Fan should remember what your parents, wife and children have done for you. In the future, you will have to be a high-ranking official and ride a horse. Although you are happy with the new, you can't get tired of the old. Be a hated Chen Shimei." ,Ha ha……" "My lord taught me a lesson." Fan Xiucai beamed with joy, "Uh...just who is this hated Chen Shimei?" "Ahem, he, he is from my hometown... No, something is wrong..." Yang Hao, who was about to flatter him, suddenly frowned, Fan Ruoshui said nervously, "What's wrong, my lord?" "It's not that I'm wrong, but that there's something wrong with Du Zhen, the guard at Moling Gate." Yang Hao frowned, thought hard for a while, and suddenly stood up: "Where is Qiantui, where is Qiantui?" The soldiers who were ambushing suddenly saw a man stand up and was about to scold him, but they recognized him as a close friend of King Jin Qiansui. Although some people didn't know his identity, they saw him riding beside King Jin on horseback, and King Jin was the same when he spoke to him. The amiable, chattering and laughing man didn't dare to reprimand him at the moment, so he quickly pointed out where he was, Yang Hao picked up his robe and ran over stooping. Zhao Guangyi was watching the enemy's situation in the distance from behind a low slope. Yang Hao rushed to the back of the low slope, leaned on Zhao Guangyi's side, and hurriedly said: "Qiantui, the lower official suddenly has a doubt, so I am here to report to Qiantui, please refer to him." Zhao Guangyi is very polite to Yang Hao now. He was originally an official from the Southern Yamen. At that time, people had a strong sense of locality and faction. All the disciples felt that they were close to the clique, not to mention the officials who came out of his mansion. In addition, Yang Hao brought the map contributors, so that he could cross the river smoothly without relying on the navy, and let him Overwhelmed with joy, he asked kindly after hearing it: "What doubts does Yang Zuo envoy have?" Yang Hao repeated the news he had just inquired from Fan Ruoshui, and said, "Qiantui, if what Fan Ruoshui said is true, then there are only 20,000 troops at Moling Pass, and it would be very embarrassing for Zheng Yanhua to rashly send half of them to help. It’s suspicious. Think about it, Qiantui, since Zheng Yanhua is resourceful, even if he doesn’t know how many troops we have, he at least knows the news that Caishiji’s 20,000 garrison was captured by us and their water camp was captured. We It's the attacking side, and the strength of the troops should be much higher than that of the Caishiji defenders, Zheng Yanhua is so relieved, spending half of his capital squandering, is he sure he can take back Caishiji?" Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and his face gradually darkened. Yang Hao said again: "Moling Pass is not an extremely difficult place to attack. Even Fan Ruoshui, a talented scholar who knows nothing about soldiers, knows that Caishiji is lost, and Moling Pass is no danger to defend, and will surely fall. Wouldn't Zhang Yanhua know? He Then concentrate on defending with all your strength, you must either abandon the city and flee, or you should dispatch all your troops to rescue Caishiji, the troops are already weak, and you have to divide the troops, such a taboo for military strategists seems to be done by a resourceful general?" Zhao Guangyi's eyes flickered, but he asked calmly, "So, what does Yang Zuoshi think is his intention?" Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Half of the defenders at Moling Pass are sailors and half are infantry. Marquis Du Yu is leading his infantry to come towards me. Is that half of the navy still at Moling Pass?" Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed drastically, and he paused word by word: "Destroy my pontoon bridge?"
Although Zhao Guangyi's use of troops may not be like that of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, veterans who have fought many battles, they are decisive in killing and attacking. Although Yang Hao's doubts are only a possibility, Zhao Guangyi dare not be careless. Yu Hou Yaoliu, the capital of the imperial army, returned to Caishiji for reinforcements. Yaoliu is young and light, with a strong body, a resolute expression, a young face, a pair of firm eyes, and a white wax pole hanging on the victory hook, vaguely has a bit of the charm of the old days when he first met Luo Kedi. This place is not far from Caishiji, and the two rushed there with their troops, bluffing Yang Haiqing and Zhu Yuming. Be cautious, hurriedly sailed out all the warships captured in the Tang army's water stronghold, laid them out along the Yangtze River, and put them on alert. The warships of the Tang army's water village are very sharp. If they can take the initiative to attack, the battle situation will never be the same as it is today. Unfortunately, they have already been afraid of the prestige of the Song army, and they have Li Yu's strong walls and clear fields, and they will never take the initiative to fight. The order, so that the opportunity to lose the opportunity, is now used by the Song army. Not long after, the sun was covered by sail clouds in the distance, and as expected, a navy came with full sails.The Song armies on both sides of the strait, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately entered the state of battle, bowed and set arrows, and waited in full force. Among the ships on the water, there were dozens of small boats in the front, piled up with firewood, and lowered their sails. They only waited for the enemy ships to arrive. Come and go down the river to burn the enemy's ships. Although the rest are not good at handling ships or fighting in water, under the cover of archers on both sides of the strait, they try to gather the warships as much as possible, leaning closely together, ready to swear to the death to block the enemy's bridge protection. It turned out to be Zheng Yanhua, the guard of Moling Pass. Zheng Yanhua sent Du Zhen to lead the infantry to help, and he himself led the navy to come, abandoning Moling Pass and dispatching with all his strength. The pontoon bridge, this pontoon bridge is too important, as long as the pontoon bridge is there, the Song army can advance and retreat, can continuously send countless troops across the Yangtze River, and can transport countless grain and grass across the river, so that the Song army can move forward bravely. No worries, so it must be destroyed, no matter the cost. However, when he arrived in a hurry, there were arrows raining down on both sides of the bank, and dozens of small boats gushing with flames went down the river.At this time, Wu Gaofei faced the 10,000 troops of Du Zhen, the capital of the Tiande Army, and fled, feigning defeat, and successfully led them into the encirclement. All of a sudden, the flags and flags were unfurled, and the cannons were flying in the sky. Du Zhen's headquarters was surrounded by the Yangtze River in the west, Cihu in the east, and Lu Yelan in the south.
The news that Yang Hao is still alive has already been sent by Zhao Guangyi to the capital. The process of Yang Hao's death as a second life was based on his self-reported experience, and was drafted by the clerk Chang Hui after sorting out and polishing. Fan Ruoshui was also mentioned in the report. He is indispensable.

Mu Yu galloped to his side, and Yang Hao praised: "The imperial army is well-trained, tens of thousands of people are like one, and they march like a moving steel city. It's really amazing."

There is a large lake more than 30 miles north of Caishiji, called Cihu, and not far to the west of Cihu is the Yangtze River. Zhao Guangyi sent Wu Gaofei to lead Eight thousand infantry were waiting for Du Zhen on the only way to Caishiji. He and Lu Yelan led 20,000 soldiers and horses to ambush at both ends of the narrow section between Cihu and the Yangtze River, waiting for Wu Gaofei to pretend to be defeated. Really 20,000 people were brought into this dead land. In the grass, Yang Hao was lying there hiding his whereabouts, when there was a rustling sound, Fan Xiucai crawled over.Yang Hao greeted him lazily. Fan Ruoshui knew that he was a popular person in Zhao Guangyi's eyes and that he was the Bole who recommended him. When he saw him, he was very affectionate: "Yang Zuoshi, in the past, Fan was only Knowing that the Song army is well-trained and able to conquer battles, today I know that the reputation is not in vain. The soldiers and horses of the Song State are resourceful and courageous. How can the Tang State’s army be rivaled? Du Zhen only has more than 10,000 people, and the thousand-year-old army of 50,000 Do you still need to fight, even if you pounce on them, you will crush them to death, but Qiantose is so cautious, who will win the battle if such an army does not win the battle?" Yang Hao was a little ashamed of the character of this official fan, so he said with a faint smile: "On the battlefield, weather, location, harmony, morale, and strategy are all the keys to the victory or defeat. It is not because there are many people that you will win the battle." , Throughout the ages, there have been many battles in which fewer have won more, and even eight hundred thousand have broken through one hundred thousand. It is good for Chitose to be more cautious." Fan Xiucai said with a dry smile: "What the Zuo envoy said is that Fan doesn't know about soldiers, so it's ridiculous." Yang Hao smiled faintly. He was bored on the ground, so it was fine if someone talked to him, so he said, "Do you know what kind of person Du Zhen is who came here to help? He was able to come to the aid regardless of life and death, and he is also a rare general who can make a decisive decision." Fan Ruoshui said: "I have lived in Caishiji for three years, and I know a little about the nearby garrisons and generals. There are two guards at Moling Pass. One is Zheng Yanhua, the commander of Moling Pass. He is resourceful, a Confucian general, and has a navy of more than 10,000 people under his command. The other is Du Zhen, who lives in Du Yuhou and is the number one general under Zheng Yanhua. He is brave and good at fighting. Once Caishiji falls, his Moling Pass will not be able to hold. But what can he do if he sends troops to help?" Yang Hao sighed with emotion: "Yes, although some things in this world have changed, some things cannot be controlled or influenced by one person. What should come will come after all. It is doomed." Fan Ruoshui didn't know where his weird emotion came from, so he was at a loss when he heard it, so he just laughed and said it. Yang Hao changed his posture and asked casually, "Who else is in Mr. Fan's family?" Fan Haoshui sighed and said: "Parents, wife and children are all here. Alas, in the past three years, Fan has abandoned his family and business, left his parents, wife and children, and lived in a hut on this quarry rock. I am really ashamed of them Fortunately, the Zuo envoy recommended him, and the king of Jin favored him. Fan will eventually have a bright future, and in the future he will be able to honor his parents and treat his wife and children well." Yang Hao joked: "It's so good. Mr. Fan should remember what your parents, wife and children have done for you. In the future, you will have to be a high-ranking official and ride a horse. Although you are happy with the new, you can't get tired of the old. Be a hated Chen Shimei." ,Ha ha……" "My lord taught me a lesson." Fan Xiucai beamed with joy, "Uh...just who is this hated Chen Shimei?" "Ahem, he, he is from my hometown... No, something is wrong..." Yang Hao, who was about to flatter him, suddenly frowned, Fan Ruoshui said nervously, "What's wrong, my lord?" "It's not that I'm wrong, but that there's something wrong with Du Zhen, the guard at Moling Gate." Yang Hao frowned, thought hard for a while, and suddenly stood up: "Where is Qiantui, where is Qiantui?" The soldiers who were ambushing suddenly saw a man stand up and was about to scold him, but they recognized him as a close friend of King Jin Qiansui. Although some people didn't know his identity, they saw him riding beside King Jin on horseback, and King Jin was the same when he spoke to him. The amiable, chattering and laughing man didn't dare to reprimand him at the moment, so he quickly pointed out where he was, Yang Hao picked up his robe and ran over stooping. Zhao Guangyi was watching the enemy's situation in the distance from behind a low slope. Yang Hao rushed to the back of the low slope, leaned on Zhao Guangyi's side, and hurriedly said: "Qiantui, the lower official suddenly has a doubt, so I am here to report to Qiantui, please refer to him." Zhao Guangyi is very polite to Yang Hao now. He was originally an official from the Southern Yamen. At that time, people had a strong sense of locality and faction. All the disciples felt that they were close to the clique, not to mention the officials who came out of his mansion. In addition, Yang Hao brought the map contributors, so that he could cross the river smoothly without relying on the navy, and let him Overwhelmed with joy, he asked kindly after hearing it: "What doubts does Yang Zuo envoy have?" Yang Hao repeated the news he had just inquired from Fan Ruoshui, and said, "Qiantui, if what Fan Ruoshui said is true, then there are only 20,000 troops at Moling Pass, and it would be very embarrassing for Zheng Yanhua to rashly send half of them to help. It’s suspicious. Think about it, Qiantui, since Zheng Yanhua is resourceful, even if he doesn’t know how many troops we have, he at least knows the news that Caishiji’s 20,000 garrison was captured by us and their water camp was captured. We It's the attacking side, and the strength of the troops should be much higher than that of the Caishiji defenders, Zheng Yanhua is so relieved, spending half of his capital squandering, is he sure he can take back Caishiji?" Zhao Guangyi's eyes flashed, and his face gradually darkened. Yang Hao said again: "Moling Pass is not an extremely difficult place to attack. Even Fan Ruoshui, a talented scholar who knows nothing about soldiers, knows that Caishiji is lost, and Moling Pass is no danger to defend, and will surely fall. Wouldn't Zhang Yanhua know? He Then concentrate on defending with all your strength, you must either abandon the city and flee, or you should dispatch all your troops to rescue Caishiji, the troops are already weak, and you have to divide the troops, such a taboo for military strategists seems to be done by a resourceful general?" Zhao Guangyi's eyes flickered, but he asked calmly, "So, what does Yang Zuoshi think is his intention?" Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Half of the defenders at Moling Pass are sailors and half are infantry. Marquis Du Yu is leading his infantry to come towards me. Is that half of the navy still at Moling Pass?" Zhao Guangyi's complexion changed drastically, and he paused word by word: "Destroy my pontoon bridge?"
Although Zhao Guangyi's use of troops may not be like that of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, veterans who have fought many battles, they are decisive in killing and attacking. Although Yang Hao's doubts are only a possibility, Zhao Guangyi dare not be careless. Yu Hou Yaoliu, the capital of the imperial army, returned to Caishiji for reinforcements. Yaoliu is young and light, with a strong body, a resolute expression, a young face, a pair of firm eyes, and a white wax pole hanging on the victory hook, vaguely has a bit of the charm of the old days when he first met Luo Kedi. This place is not far from Caishiji, and the two rushed there with their troops, bluffing Yang Haiqing and Zhu Yuming. Be cautious, hurriedly sailed out all the warships captured in the Tang army's water stronghold, laid them out along the Yangtze River, and put them on alert. The warships of the Tang army's water village are very sharp. If they can take the initiative to attack, the battle situation will never be the same as it is today. Unfortunately, they have already been afraid of the prestige of the Song army, and they have Li Yu's strong walls and clear fields, and they will never take the initiative to fight. The order, so that the opportunity to lose the opportunity, is now used by the Song army. Not long after, the sun was covered by sail clouds in the distance, and as expected, a navy came with full sails.The Song armies on both sides of the strait, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately entered the state of battle, bowed and set arrows, and waited in full force. Among the ships on the water, there were dozens of small boats in the front, piled up with firewood, and lowered their sails. They only waited for the enemy ships to arrive. Come and go down the river to burn the enemy's ships. Although the rest are not good at handling ships or fighting in water, under the cover of archers on both sides of the strait, they try to gather the warships as much as possible, leaning closely together, ready to swear to the death to block the enemy's bridge protection. It turned out to be Zheng Yanhua, the guard of Moling Pass. Zheng Yanhua sent Du Zhen to lead the infantry to help, and he himself led the navy to come, abandoning Moling Pass and dispatching with all his strength. The pontoon bridge, this pontoon bridge is too important, as long as the pontoon bridge is there, the Song army can advance and retreat, can continuously send countless troops across the Yangtze River, and can transport countless grain and grass across the river, so that the Song army can move forward bravely. No worries, so it must be destroyed, no matter the cost. However, when he arrived in a hurry, there were arrows raining down on both sides of the bank, and dozens of small boats gushing with flames went down the river.At this time, Wu Gaofei faced the 10,000 troops of Du Zhen, the capital of the Tiande Army, and fled, feigning defeat, and successfully led them into the encirclement. All of a sudden, the flags and flags were unfurled, and the cannons were flying in the sky. Du Zhen's headquarters was surrounded by the Yangtze River in the west, Cihu in the east, and Lu Yelan in the south.
