Zeng Qingyu attacked Maojiatun for three consecutive days, but achieved nothing. Seeing more and more wounded soldiers and bodies of the dead, Zhang Yuting's heart became more and more anxious day by day. Originally, he thought that the Tiger Camp, which had just been formed, was He definitely couldn't withstand such an intense attack from Xiaowei, but the fact was obviously beyond his expectation.
Zeng Qingyu stormed Maojiatun. When Maojiatun could not hold on, Quan Yifeng would mobilize Fairy Town or his own troops to come to the rescue. As long as Quan Yifeng moved, he would lead the main force of the Xiaowei to attack Fairy Town. This opened a gap, broke through the interception of the Tumen Zongbei Army, and entered the three southern states.
This wishful thinking seems to have failed now. The enemy's tenacity is beyond his expectation. For three days, with a one-to-one ratio of soldiers, Xiaoweileng has not taken any advantage in front of his opponents in Maojiatun. .In a few days, I'm afraid it will be me who needs to increase our troops.
Quan Yifeng is like this, where is Su Dingfang behind him?
There are several urgent letters from Tianmen every day, and the Xiaowei who stays there cannot stop Su Dingfang for a few days. If he cannot make a breakthrough within these two days, the entire army will be destroyed soon.
Zhang Yuting decided to change his strategy. Instead of attacking in the east and attacking in the west, he concentrated all his strength to deliver a fatal blow to Maojiatun.
The enemies of Maojiatun will not suffer less losses than themselves, but Quan Yifeng has always refused to send more troops to Maojiatun. This only shows that he has clearly seen his plot, and now he can only seek changes first, but I hope I can deliver a fatal blow to Maojiatun before the opponent's reinforcements arrive, then open a gap and escape.
On the fourth day, a messenger from Tianmen made Zhang Yuting determined. The Tianmen defenders could no longer support him and decided to retreat to join him.
¡°If you wait until Su Dingfang arrives, you will have no chance of escaping.
"Fight, the whole army attacks Maojiatun!"
Liao Daping failed to withstand Zhang Yuting's violent attack. The first line of defense only lasted for half a day before falling, and the entire army retreated to Mao's village.
"Son of a bitch, you're serious this time!" Fang Xiang stared at the endless stream of enemy troops in the distance, "The enemy's main force is finally determined to attack us, but I don't know if General Quan has reacted. , if we come too late, we will really be doomed this time!"
"Fuck, hold on!" Liao Daping threw the chopped half of the knife on the ground, "He won't dare to leave until he kills us. There are still thousands of us in the Mao family village! Send him I wonder if the messenger from Fairy Town has arrived?"
"I'm so worried! Since Zhang Yuting has gathered all his strength to attack us, why not send sentries to cover the battlefield? Sending messengers is just a routine matter. After all, we have to sue the enemy generals now. Make a decision at the last moment!" Fang Xiang said.
"I'm a little worried about Zhaoyi!" Liao Daping sighed: "Does this guy have the guts? Fairy Town is close to us, Tumen is far away from us. If we have to wait for General Quan's order, the day lilies will dry out!"
"It's impossible to count on Zhaoyi, it's better to count on Zheng Junyu!" Fang Xiang said with a smile: "Zhaoyi is cautious, and our status is a bit special, but that Zheng Junyu is different. He is Quan Yifeng's confidant and a veteran of the Fourth Battalion. , he may dare to lead troops to attack to rescue us."
"I hope so! Damn it, it's coming up again. I'll be there for a while, and you'll replace me later!" Liao Daping ran out with a machete that was still intact.
From sunset to the early morning of the next day, the Northern Expeditionary Army had been suppressed to the core area of ??Maojiatun, an area with a radius of only about one mile. Liao Daping and Fang Xiang still had three thousand capable soldiers. Soldiers, they are at the end of their rope before their eyes.
When the red sun jumped out from the top of the mountain in the distance, the exhausted Liao Daping and Zhao Yi were surprised to find that the Xiaowei retreated. Just like the ferocity of their previous attack, their retreat was also extremely rapid. Only on the battlefield There were dead bodies and broken weapons all over the ground.
The two supporting armies of the Northern Expedition Army arrived together.
Fairy Town is close to each other and Tumen is far away, but the two armies arrived at almost the same time. This is because Zhaoyi and Zheng Junyu had a fierce quarrel, and Zhaoyi insisted on waiting until Quan Yifeng's order came. They just moved, but Zheng Junyu said that the military situation was urgent and should be given top priority, and he would make up for the troop dispatching procedures afterwards. The two couldn't argue, and the stalemate lasted for half a day. Finally, Zheng Junyu finally persuaded Zhaoyi, and all the troops stationed in Fairy Town were mobilized. rushed towards Maojiatun, but in the direction of Tumen, Quan Yifeng immediately sent out troops after learning that Zhang Yuting sent a large number of sentries to cover the battlefield. As they entered and exited, the two armies appeared almost at the same time. The outskirts of Maojiatun.
Zhang Yuting had to retreat.
Riding on his horse, looking at the retreating Xiaowei, Zhang Yuting felt desolate in his heart. His last effort failed. The length of time Maojiatun resisted left him helpless, and the enemy general's reaction was so quick that he was helpless. There was nothing he could do. If only the defenders of Fairy Town came to rescue him, he could take another gamble, but Quan Yifeng's nativeThe gatekeepers actually arrived at the same time, so there was nothing to fight.
¡°Let¡¯s retreat to Silang Mountain!¡± Zhang Yuting sighed. The next step was to wait helplessly for the enemy to attack.
The mountain is steep and there are live springs on the mountain. It is a good place to garrison troops. However, the problem is that this mountain is an isolated mountain. If you retreat to Shilang Mountain, you will cut off your own retreat. But looking around, There is almost no place around where he can garrison troops.
On the third day, Quan Yifeng, who was chasing Zhang Yuting, set up camp on Silang Mountain.
On the fifth day, after Su Dingfang's Anqing camp defeated the Tianmen defenders, they also chased the defeated troops to the foot of Silang Mountain. The two armies merged and trapped Zhang Yuning on the mountain.
In Tongzhou City, Congliang was still imprisoned in the Zhao family's mansion, and was served with delicious food and drink every day, but no one of decent importance had ever visited him or interrogated him. This made Congliang feel a sense of loss. From the days of being aloof and attracting all kinds of attention, I suddenly turned into an insignificant person. The gap in my heart is really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the Northern Expedition Army sent Jiang Xi to keep Congliang company. Congliang could not move around at will, but Jiang Xi could come and go freely.
"It seems that you are getting preferential treatment in the Northern Army!" Congliang looked at Jiang Xi, "You can actually move around freely."
Jiang Xi smiled bitterly and said: "The general is joking. Didn't I fight with General Ye Ping of their Marine Corps for a period of time before? This time I was captured alive by them, but they didn't embarrass me and allowed it. I walked around, but their people followed me wherever I went, so it was no better!"
"If you can walk outside, you can still get some news. How is it outside?" Congliang now knows nothing about the news outside.
"General, the situation is not very good. If I tell you, don't be angry!" Jiang Xi said cautiously.
"How bad can it be? Tell me, I'm prepared!" Congliang sighed.
"General Xiong is gone, and Lord Ziyan is also missing! The Qin army, led by General Zheng, surrendered to the Northern Expeditionary Army at Panlong Mountain!" Jiang Xi said.
"The tree fell and the hozens dispersed. I just didn't expect that the first ones to jump out of the tree were the two of them!" Congliang smiled, "Originally, after the fall of Anlu, it would be difficult to return to Xiongkuohai, so he abandoned the army and left. Instead of leading the army to surrender, I finally have some conscience. The North has basically collapsed, what about the South, how is it now?"
"The situation in the south is also very bad!" Jiang Xi said: "Wei Xin and Tian Guinong have surrendered."
"What did you say? Wei Xin surrendered. He is stationed there. It's Tumen, right?" Congliang's eyes widened.
"Yes!" Jiang Xi nodded, "General, you don't have to guess. Wei Xin surrendered, and the Northern Expeditionary Army divided Binzhou into two. When I came, Tongzhou City was full of generals who were already surrounded by Shilang. The mountain is about to fall, and Mr. Quan Changbin of Pingxiang can no longer support himself under Xue Linfeng's blow. Moreover, Quan Changbin's family members have already fallen into the hands of the Northern Expedition Army. This person is afraid that he will not be able to hold on for long. Will surrender."
"We lost so quickly. We have been operating in the south for so long, but we lost so miserably?" Congliang murmured.
"Now Wei Xin led his 20,000 Taizhou town troops to sweep across Ezhou, Huzhou, and Binzhou. Wei Guangming surrendered without a fight, and all three southern states have fallen into enemy hands. We only have General Su Can's 50,000 Tiger Guards left. Yes, and there are interceptions in front and pursuers in the back," Jiang Xi said.
"Have you sent Jamukha's cavalry?"
"Yes, Jamuka, Malihan, and more than 50,000 cavalrymen from Tuili have gone to intercept General Su Can. From the south, Pu Demeng led the Yizhou Battalion and the cavalry battalion in hot pursuit. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."
Congliang was silent for a moment, "Jiang Xi, these things can't be spread outside, how on earth do you know?"
Jiang Xi was embarrassed for a long time, then whispered: "General Cong, this is what General Ma You of the Marine Corps told me, but General Cong, I did not surrender to them, nor did I do anything for them."
"It doesn't matter whether you do things for them or not now!" Congliang waved his hand, "The news Yo Ma told you is just to let you tell me. Hey, you have good intentions!"
"General, what do they mean?" Jiang Xi asked.
"What else can it mean? Jiang Xi, bring me a pen and paper!"
Although Jiang Xi felt strange, she still quickly found pen and paper for Congliang.
Dipping his pen in ink, Congliang wrote a few big words on the paper and handed it to Jiang Xi, "Take it, give it to Yun Zhao, isn't that what he wants? Take it!"
Jiang Xi picked up the paper, but there were only six characters written on it, "That's it, that's it. Be good!"
Ten days later, this letter written by Congliang was quickly sent to the south. An officer who conquered the North took this letter to Mount Silang. The next day, Zhang Yuting led the remnants of the army.Nearly 20,000 brave guards surrendered to the Northern Army. (To be continued.
