    In Wuguan, Yang Dasha sat silently at the majestic juncture, staring into the distance.  Wave after wave of scouts were rushing in from outside the pass. They brought only one piece of news. Qu Wan's 150,000 Chu troops, who were trapped in Danfeng, had set out overnight, and their target was the direction of Han.  Tai'an and Wulong now have no soldiers. The only obstacle is Yingshui City. There, Mei Hua, led by his nearly 10,000 officers and soldiers of the Third Division and 5,000 newly transferred student troops, will become the obstacle.  The Chu army's only barrier.  Yang Dasha knew very well that Yingshui was not Wuguan. It was impossible to stop the attack of hundreds of thousands of Chu troops with this small force. Their only role was to contain and delay Qu Wan's advancement. Qu Wan would not move them.  They would not dare to make a large-scale advance into the hinterland, even if they were to fight against each other.  Yang Dasha calculated in his mind that even if the king immediately launched an attack in Jingzhou and defeated the Chu State within a short period of time, including the army, it would still take at least a month.  "Commander, we can't just wait here!" Wu Ya jumped up and down like a monkey next to him, "We have to do something, right? For example, how to win over Qu Wan's rear? His current money and food  They all rely on the Qin people for supply. Let's cut off their retreat and make it difficult for them to move without enough money and food. " Yang Dasha glanced at him: "Meng Yong has already entered Dantong County. Among the 40,000 southern frontier troops, there are  Twenty thousand troops are stationed in Danfeng County, and Lu Zhihui's nearly thirty thousand Xuanyi guards are right behind Qu Wan. How many of you can harass their retreat? Besides, if we go to attack Qu Wan, Meng Yong?  What should I do if I take the opportunity to seize Wuguan? Meng Yong may not have fought many battles and is an armchair warrior, but Wang Ming of the southern frontier army is not a vegetarian. What if Wuguan is lost and the Qin people take the opportunity to invade Chu?  Doesn't this add trouble to the king's plan to defeat Chu? You are not helping Mei Hua, but harming him. " "How can Yingshui City resist the 150,000 Chu troops and the Qin people?  Wuguan!" Mei Hua shouted.  Yang Dasha stood up without saying a word.  He turned around and walked towards the pass.  Wu Ya looked at Yang Dasha's back and swallowed hard. Yang Dasha's behavior seemed to indicate something, which made him even more panicked.  Turning around, holding on to the city wall, "Meihua, you have to hold on, you. If you die and make my sister a widow and my nephew without me, I will bite you a few times even if you are a ghost."  ¡± While Yang Dasha was silently worrying and Wu Ya was cursing and praying, the Han army in Yingshui City had become highly nervous. Meihua¡¯s observation posts in Qin¡¯an, Kailong and other places had been withdrawn, and the natural  It's not good news. Qu Wan's march to the God of War has already crossed these two places.  Entered Yingchuan County.  "Inform all the people in Yingchuan County that those who are willing to retreat with our army can follow our army, cross the river, go to Yingshui City, or go further inland and tell them that the Chu people are coming. They are so poor.  The Chu army will probably treat them as fat sheep. In three days, the bridge will be demolished and they will not be able to leave even if they want to." Mei Hua ordered lightly.  After walking out of the official office of Yingchuan County, we once again stepped onto the pontoon bridge on the Yingshui River.  There is no more soldiers in Yingchuan County. This situation naturally frightened the people of Yingchuan County and the Chu army.  The news that the Qin army was coming had spread throughout the city. Compared to the Chu people, they naturally knew more about the Han people. Thanks to Fang Shu and Tan Feng's encouragement of the trade between the two sides, although the people of the two places  In two countries.  But they knew each other's policies and national conditions well. In comparison, everyone naturally believed more in the discipline of the Han people and the Han army. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ª?? As soon as the announcement came out, dozens of floating bridges on the Yingshui River were immediately crowded with fleeing people.  Three days later, Yingchuan City had become an empty city. No matter whether it was the rich gentry or the poor, they all escaped with more or less their gold and silver.  Shuyingshui City is naturally unsafe. It will inevitably become a battlefield. Where is the safest place now? Of course it is the mainland of Han Dynasty. After the fleeing army crossed the river, they did not stop and continued northward.  "Sir, let's burn Yingchuan County with fire. Why can't we leave this big city to the Chu people? In this winter, we let them live in the wilderness and freeze to death." Long Bin said fiercely  typical.  "Burn? Burn for what? How much does it cost to build a city? It would be a pity to burn it. If it burns, we won't be able to rebuild it in the future. If we don't burn it, let's leave it to Qu Wan and let them live in it first.  !" Mei Hua sneered: "It's just a temporary loan. It won't be long before he will still belong to us." Long Bin touched his chin, "Sir, I'm afraid this battle will be a bit difficult for us." Mei Hua laughed.  "It's not that it's hard, it's that there's a danger of the whole army being destroyed because of the order.?, there is no talk of retreat.  You understand what this means, Long Bin, are you scared?  " "There's nothing to be afraid of, isn't it just ten to one?  There are dozens of them. Fortunately, the Yingshui River is not frozen. We still have a river as a barrier.  "Long Bin said with a smile. "One month, we have to fight for at least one month. If we can persist until that moment, we will have a chance of survival.  "Mei Hua said. "Commander, I'm a little worried. If Qu Wan continues to be unable to defeat us, he can divide his troops, leaving tens of thousands of people to fight with us, and then other troops bypass Yingshui and attack directly inland. Then  But what to do?  "Long Bin asked. "That's for sure. Qu Wan will definitely do this. However, there is still an enemy force behind him. He also knows what the threat is, so in the first stage, he will definitely want to do it in one fell swoop.  If we are unplugged, this stage will definitely be the saddest time for us, let¡¯s count it for about ten days.  Only when he understands that he can't defeat us will he divide his forces. So at this stage, what we have to do is kill a lot of people.  " "When he understands and starts to divide his troops, he will have to leave tens of thousands of people to deal with us, right?  Hehe, then some of the soldiers and horses he sent out will be missing again. When entering the interior, it depends on the defense capabilities of each place.  This is what we can do to minimize the losses, but no matter what, our southern southern region will probably suffer losses this time.  How big the loss will be depends on how well the king fights in the Jingzhou war zone. Once the war in Chu is over, Qu Wan's war will also be over.  "Mei Hua said. "In other words, the more we kill, the smaller the losses will be to the mainland, right?  " Long Bin said. "You are so smart!  "Mei Hua said with a smile. Long Bin's face turned red, "Sir, I'm going to check the layout of the defense line again. You might as well rest for a while. In a few days, the big battle will begin.  "    "rest?  There is no such time, just go ahead.  "Mei Hua waved his hand and said. " Walking down the city, Mei Hua walked straight to the military camp. Inside the military camp, more than a hundred selected engineers lined up in a neat queue, and the short and stocky engineer battalion commander stood  The first one in the queue. Looking at these people, Mei Hua's eyes couldn't help but heat up. "Report to the division commander, the engineering battalion special operations team has been selected, and a total of 121 brothers have volunteered to participate in this operation.  "The engineer battalion commander took a step forward and saluted Mei Hua. He held a box in both hands and handed it to Mei Hua. "This is the suicide note of one hundred and twenty-one brothers. Please give it to the division commander after the war."  .  " Mei Hua took the box with both hands, raised it high above her head, and bowed deeply, "Brothers, you will always have a place in the great man's meritorious service. After this battle, if Mei is still alive,  A large stone tablet will be erected on the banks of the Yingshui River and your names will be engraved on it so that you will be remembered by future generations of Han people for generations to come.  " "Thank you, sir!  "One hundred and twenty-one big men roared in unison. "Serve the wine.  "Mei Hua shouted sternly. The engineer battalion commander was the first to come up, took a large bowl of wine from Mei Hua's hand, raised his neck and drank it all, smashed the wine bowl with a bang, and strode out of the military camp.  Go. One by one, the men came over, took the wine from Mei Hua's hand, drank it, broke the bowl, and followed their battalion commander towards the outside of the military camp. They stepped onto the pontoon and walked across the Yingshui River.  A small force of 121 entered the deserted Yingshui City. The next moment, these people dispersed and quickly disappeared into every corner of the city. Long Bin proposed to burn the city. Mei Hua.  He rejected it, but Mei Hua didn't tell the truth. He didn't want to burn the city, he wanted the city of Yingzhou to be burned to make it more valuable. He wanted Qu Wanzhen to be confused when he arrived at Yingshui River.  The weapons are these 121 heroic soldiers who are destined to die. The pontoon bridge began to be dismantled, section by section from the direction of Yingzhou County, and was exposed due to the low water season in winter.  The riverbed and beach are now covered with triangular pyramids made of cement, which are scattered on the offensive surface. The beach is covered with countless iron caltrops, and the embankment is more than one meter high with sandbags.  , from the beach to the embankment, there are temporary blocking points built with sand. From the beach to the embankment, and then to Yingshui City behind, an all-round, no-dead-end defensive fortress is undergoing final improvement work.  The people have basically been evacuated, but there are still many people who are unwilling to leave. They voluntarily joined the logistics service team and did some service work for the army, carrying stretchers, cooking, and taking care of the wounded. The joining of these people made Mei  Huaneng mobilized more soldiers to go to the defense line. Come on, let you see what a real soldier is. Mei Hua turned around and walked away. Now, he was going to give his men one last battle.Member.  (To be continued.)
