Heartbroken, he went to inspect the Sheep and Horse Wall. At that time, Zhao Chun was only separated from the nearest Jin Army death squad by this wall. The moat in Xiangyang was not very wide. Although the main force of the enemy army was still pushing into the mountains a few miles away,

There are already masters who have crossed the river as the vanguard and put pressure on the big city wall. They probably didn't expect that they would not be able to break through this last wall of sheep and horses.

However, in just a few days, countless Song soldiers died here, and the inside and outside of the walls seemed to be stained with blood. Zhao Chun was devastated and grief-stricken. The arrow wounds on his body were so painful that he could only slowly heal them.

He fell against the wall and fell into this shocking red...

"This is..." There was a sudden bit of green among the red on the wall. He was lying dying in the corner. He had been flush with the color for a long time. He was still desperate. Suddenly he was shocked and couldn't believe it. He repeatedly confirmed, "Grass?!"

Can you just stare blankly? You should reach out and dig it out, even if your fingers are filled with blood!

"Really, really grass..." But you know what kind of encouragement it was to find a piece of grass in the crack of the stone at this time for the Xiangyang defenders who gave up waiting for death!

"It's available here too." "It's available here too!" "The war horses are ready to eat!" The staff who followed him uneasily and the generals who were already fighting here such as Xu Yuan, Mu Ziteng, Meng Zongzheng, etc. all shouted one after another,

Not one, but a handful, a fluff, a handful, more and more, all hidden in the corner under the sheep and horse wall.

"It's not just sprouting. I actually forgot that spring has arrived a long time ago and has been secretly flourishing..." The last hope surged out in despair. Zhao Chun ignored the severe pain in his heart and coughed and laughed.

With tears in my eyes, I have the experience of General Zhang Xun, but it will end differently from him, "Send the order, herd horses here, both offensive and defensive." Looking back at the bright red contrasting with green: Zhao Chun stood for the living Xiangyang soldiers and civilians, thank you very much.

The heroic souls of the martyrs protect us!

If there is no shortage of grass and the horses are well fed, then don’t waver, don’t be trapped, fight back, and attack by force. If there is no external help in blocking the road, then clear it by yourself, take it back one by one, wall by wall.

Fight it out!

It has to be said that no matter how good the strategy or combat power is, it will be affected by the state of mind. But once the fighting spirit is restored, it can support the entire army to perform normally or even abnormally: In all the decisive battles in history, how many times did the side lose the battle?

Your Jin soldiers are just holding their breath, but our Song soldiers are full of blood!

That night, Xu Yuan and Peng Yibin quickly pushed the battle line outward away from the two Hao. The next day, Mu Zi, Teng and Meng Zongzheng regained three lines of defense. Zhao Chun ordered two more pontoon bridges to be built in the temporary border battlefield. At night, 3,400

The rest of the people destroyed the Jin army's siege hill: "One thousand people inside are equipped with shovels and harpoons, 2,300 crossbowmen, forks and sickles, and sword and axe-hands for protection. Three layers of crossbowmen are arranged on the city - hit me, hard."

Fight!" Show Wanyan Kuang what a general attack is!

How could the Jin soldiers be afraid because of their overwhelming numbers? Seeing that the Song army had just won two small victories, they wanted to destroy the mountains. They laughed at them for hitting the rocks with eggs and not knowing how thick the sky was. They immediately stepped on their horses and came to fight with swords and guns, but they forgot that "the Foolish Old Man moved the mountains" and "Jingwei reclaimed the sea" were all Han people.

The flames of fire are passed down from generation to generation, and all the mountains and seas can be leveled even if the thoughts are separated by mountains and seas!

A group of crossbows fired at Xiangyang City, and the mountains were destroyed with shovels and woks below the city. They were completely reborn, and it was in full swing. It was completely different from the dead and dead scene a day ago. Those who didn't know thought that the decadence of the previous two days was fake. The Jin army turned from stone to egg in the face of battle.

When in shock, he did not dare to neglect, he immediately adjusted his position and charged forward bravely, not to be outdone.

That night, the sky, the Yangtze River, the city gates, and the trenches were all as red and hot as blood. They were simply reflected by the anger of the two armies seeking victory and survival. In just a few hours, the Song and Jin Dynasties advanced and retreated more than a hundred times.

There are so many, the intensity is earth-shaking, and the number of casualties is unprecedented. It is difficult to determine who loses and who wins, because both sides have no reservations about their strength. Every coach personally went into battle, and there were a large number of weapons, crossbows, and wooden cards.

After the battle was over, it seemed that the battle line had not changed much——

No, why not?

At dawn, in full view of the Jin army, the most iconic and tallest earth mountain suddenly collapsed.

What seemed like a solid fortress had long since decayed and was instantly reduced to ashes!

If so, how can victory and defeat be irresolute?

"Keep up the good work and continue to destroy all their mountains!" Zhao Chun's face was radiant, and while encouraging the soldiers at the head of the city, he felt extremely proud of the indestructibility of Xiangyang City in comparison.

Wanyan Kuang was not discouraged, and fought despite the setbacks: "To build another earth mountain, the scale must be twice as big as before! The first person to climb Xiangyang will be rewarded with a white body, a thousand hereditary households, a powerful official, a sixth-grade official, and five thousand coins;

The second person to climb the city will be defeated by the hereditary in vain. He will be an official and a military official, and he will be in the seventh rank of the ministry, and he will receive three thousand guan of money!"

Since his subordinates were vying for power and gain, he took advantage of their arrogance and eagerness to win. In addition, Wanyan Kuang ordered dozens of fires to be set on fire and lit up as bright as day after dark to prevent the Song army from attacking again at night.

Zhao Chun is not as generous as Wanyan Kuang. Besides food and grass, what else can he reward his subordinates? Even if it is a reward, he still has to save money... He was worrying about himself when he suddenly heard his subordinates encouraging themselves and warming each other up: "I didn't say anything, stay alive!" He said.

My heart heats up: If I can't win this guard battle, how can I be worthy of the people God has given me?

The two armies were head-to-head, and the battle situation was stalemate again. Zhao Chun asked Xu Yuan urgently: "Tianjiao, can the contact with the outside world be restored?" Throughout the second half of the first lunar month, Hairising Mingyue was in a state of paralysis. It was "paralysis", not "hibernation".

.

Before the battle, Luo Yuankong and Jing Salad knew that this was a crucial battle, and Jing Salad had also said that "everything is ready", but they did not expect that almost the entire Jin army in Jinghu would arrive in just a few days, so they did not wait until

After this first deadly battle, I found an opportunity to get in touch with Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan had a clear understanding. He didn't sleep all night after the battle. He searched for clues in the devastation for several hours, and he finally fulfilled his expectations: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry."

Because Jing Salamander is a double agent of Kongxianzhuang, he was ordered by Suzaku to perform an investigation mission last night, so he was able to go deep into the Song army and leave a mark.

And Luo Yuankong? When the Jin army was still outnumbered, it was difficult to find an empty space to leave a mark during the fierce battle; Luo Yuankong, as an ordinary soldier, was even more unable to fight Xu Yuan face to face... Fortunately, after the war, it was still

Many people and objects of the Jin Army fell into the hands of the Song Army. Finally, Xu Yuan found his mark next to an abandoned gun mount.

In the critical autumn, several third-level people in the rising moon of the sea wanted to take risks, but unfortunately they were captured by Suzaku and chose to commit suicide on the spot. Suzaku did not let them die in vain, intercepted some of their signals, and asked Wanyan Kuang for help.

After agreeing, several pieces of false information were left on the battlefield, with the intention of disturbing the line of sight and deceiving Xu Yuan. The Jin army knew the urgent needs of Zhao Chun and Xu Yuan, and of course tried every means to hinder the restoration of intelligence from Xiangyang and the outside world.

In the case of too many interference items, fortunately, Luo Yuankong and Jing Salamander could support and supplement each other. They promptly conveyed two key pieces of information to Xiangyang City: the total amount of reinforcements from the Jin Army, the distribution of elites, and the maximum number of earth mountains built.

The key lies in the waterway west of the city, where exactly the antlers set up by the Jin army are located, and the ambush situation of the surrounding Jin soldiers.

"Next, our military strategy remains unchanged and will continue to carry out serial destruction of Tushan. However, the most urgent task is to establish 'stable' contact with the rising moon on the sea." Xu Yuan said.

After Zhao Chun brainstormed, he sent sailors to secretly swim to the shoal on the waterway west of the city to seize the antlers Wanyan Kuang and Suzaku had arranged there. Before the Jin army discovered and ambushed them, the death squads who were proficient in water skills moved behind them.

He counterattacked in an ambush, killed one of his vanguard, captured two horses, and obtained a lot of weapons.

"Sure enough, the Song Army still wants to ensure that this waterway is open!" Zhuque understood very well that now that the battle lines are advancing and retreating, the waterway to the west of the city is the only way to "stable" communication. If the rising moon on the sea establishes contact with the city, it is inevitable

, then what Kongxianzhuang should do most is to make their connection unstable forever.

"Then continue to arrange antlers. If there are not enough people, add more! Zhao Da is stubborn, but I don't believe in evil!" Wanyan Kuang has the same attitude towards antlers as Tushan. If the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come. If you remove them, I will

Just use better ones.

So, like bulldozing a mountain and digging a mountain, the drama of pulling out antlers to save them was repeated over and over again. How could Wanyan Kuang and Zhuque know that the Song army, which seemed to be struggling to divert the waterway time and time again, was nothing more than a water battle after all the painstaking efforts.

Superficial--

"Since their attention is focused on 'setting up antlers to prevent our army from sending and receiving signals', we will change our thinking and simply use antlers to convey information and use the ship as a cover." Chen Xu shook his fan. In this way, the battle of antlers will kill two birds with one stone:

1. Divide the Jin Army's troops from the perspective of siege. The more you attach importance to the water warfare in this corner, the less likely you are to launch a frontal attack on the main city of Xiangyang, and you will sacrifice the basics to chase the weak.

Second, deceive Wanyan Kuang from the intelligence source. On the surface, the Song Army came to repair the intelligence network and destroy the antlers, "The Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains". Even if the head was bruised and bleeding, the Jin Army's antlers would be consumed; in fact,

, right under Wanyan Kuang’s eyes, the sea-rising moon with the deer’s antlers was buried and carved, and the sea-rising moon with the deer’s antlers was destroyed and translated...

The antlers were personally selected and improved by Wanyan Kuang. Who would have thought that all of them would be crafted to serve the opponent?

No matter how great his writing skills are, no matter how profound his knowledge is, even if his brain is not as fast as his opponent's, there is nothing he can do. To a certain extent, Wanyan Kuang is also a member of the rising moon in the sea. During this time, he helped Xu Yuan and Luo Yuankong establish a stable communication method.

…

Not long ago, the second decisive battle was approaching, and the intelligence from the Jing salamander line was timely: "The Jin army has increased its troops and plans to start a challenge early tomorrow morning." "In response to our army's 'bamboo cage tripping horses' plan, Wanyan Kuang has already

There are countermeasures.”

Zhao Wannian thought quickly and solved the problem of bamboo cages first: "In addition to carrying bamboo cages, our army's vanguards can each hold a pair of horses to block the path of the Jin army. When forming formations inside, they still use arrow-blocking cloths.

Cards, spearmen and crossbowmen overlap to protect." Turning to look at Chen Xu, "As for the rest, what does Military Master Chen think?"

"If he wants to attack at dawn, I will attack in the middle of the night; if he lights up fires to prevent night attacks, I will water them before the battle. If the Jin army is large, it will be divided." Chen Xu said, previously using antlers to divide Wanyan Kuang's troops step by step.

It's almost done.

"After nightfall, Generals Pei, Shao and others beat drums and shouted in the east of the city, pretending to leave the city to rob the stronghold, and continue to divide Yan Kuang's troops." "Yes!" the officers and soldiers took the order.

"At the second watch, generals Xu, Peng and other generals came out from the sheep and horse wall in the south corner. They first took four hundred people, each carrying a bucket of water, and rushed to where the Jin army was setting fire.

Enemy." "Yes!" The rebels took the order.

"When the Jin army was extinguished, Generals Mu, Meng and other generals led their shovel hands and immediately destroyed the mountains I drew on the map. Once the Jin army came to conflict, they used what Zhao's military counselor said, 'bamboo cages and horse resistance' to make the Jin army

The army's cavalry cannot gallop." "Yes!" All the rebel officers and soldiers took the order.

Those who are good at using troops win first and then go to war.

However, even Chen Xu, who is very knowledgeable about things, encountered an unexpected problem tonight. After traveling a hundred miles and half a mile——

Wanyan Kuang is a very smart man. Although he did not see that the Song Army's "perseverance in destroying the antlers" was false, he did understand that the Song Army's "perseverance in tearing down the mountain of earth" was true. In order to prevent the Song Army from continuing to demolish it, his earth mountain was destroyed so quickly.

Just bring out the old and bring out the new, almost beyond the detection of the rising moon on the sea——

"Commander Chen, inside the earth mountain, all the buildings are made of large logs running through them like houses, with rafters on top, and firewood, grass and oxen covering the top with earth, so it is difficult to demolish. From the second watch to the fifth watch, only one third of it will be removed." The front line.

Lai Bao was in a tough battle, but Wanyan Kuang had laid a solid foundation, so he could simply sit back and relax?!

It was getting daylight, and the Jin army was still in a panic at first, but slowly it returned to calm and used more to bully the smaller ones, and the soldiers and horses that were diverted in the early stage were bound to regroup. The Song army had a chance of winning, and it was almost a matter of time.

Pass away.

"If it is confirmed that the internal structure is like this, in fact, the oil cans and hay can be placed in the mountain of earth and burned with fire, but..." However, Chen Xu, a clever woman, can't make a meal without rice! How can there be soldiers? All the people in Xiangyang City are already soldiers.

Got it!

Yes, there are reinforcements!

"Master Zhao, you haven't assigned me any tasks yet, have you?" There is no way out of the sky. At that time, a master came from outside the city and said that his troops were still in the southwest and were eager to meet up with the Song army in Xiangyang.

"This is..." Chen Xu was startled.
To be continued...
