The first year of Yongchang, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

The war was like a bear, burning the two sides of the river. The Lantern Festival was over, and the night lights were still hanging on the city walls, and the sound of war drums that shook the sky and the earth had already sounded.

Yesterday, Du Tao led his troops to the county and forced him to face Hefei to fight Dai Yuan under the city. Seeing that Du Tao had only led 5,000 soldiers, Dai Yuan was furious and wanted to fight. He wanted to run his army out of the city and fight in the wild, but he thought that the festival should not be stained with blood, so he closed the city for a night and made an appointment to fight today.

On that day, the scorching sun was better than the fire, and it spread all over the city.

Dai Yuan climbed to the Arrow Tower and looked down at Du Tao's army formation. His face was still hanging on his face last night, which was slightly red. Perhaps the sun was too strong. As the sun burned, the wine in his chest rolled, and almost burst out. He quickly grabbed the arrow and chopped his mouth. He yelled at the city: "The soldiers of the three armies, Du Tao bandits rebelled against you! How dare you commit rebellion? Could it be that you are not afraid of heaven's punishment? Last night, the Emperor of Heaven entered Dai Yuan and found out that you and others were raising wars. Today, the blood was stained with the land, and your head was inserted! If you repent, it would be okay to tie Du Tao into the formation."

"Dai Ruosi, Dai Pu Man! In the past, General Lu Shiheng pulled you into mud. How could you know that you were so unbearable, old and scared, and fearful of fighting in the city! Like this general of the cavalry, Du Mou had never heard of it, and had never seen it. If he did not fight, please uncover his knees and bind his face!" Du Tao stood up with his long spear, rode his horse, and shuttled back and forth in front of the formation, and his loud voice rushed to the city.

"Half cover, hahaha"

"The General of the Cavalry, who is bound to form a helmet, must be a fairy figure."

The knees were covered with small clothes on his legs and under his robe. When the three armies heard about it, they saw Dai Yuan still wearing a tall crown and a wide robe, and the image of old and weak was full of laughter.

Dai Yuan was afraid of people saying that he was old in his life, and because of the old things, he was angry and said Lu Ji. He immediately felt ashamed and angry. He secretly felt that his abdomen was surging. He was afraid that Yu Wanjun would make a fool of himself, so he grabbed the arrow and chopped his mouth, suppressing his vomiting. After a while, he whispered: "Catch my gun!"

Deng Qian, the army member, was shocked when he saw that he was excited and advised: "General, don't be angry. Du Tao's troops are only 5,000, and it is difficult to attack the city. If he wants to experience Yang, he must jump into Hefei! The general only needs to block the city and not go out. When he is facing his back, he will be hit by a back. If he does not retreat, the general can also wait for Mr. Xi to lead the army to come. At that time, a thunder attack will be made!"

Dai Yuan squinted his eyes and said coldly: "Dai Yuan had already faced the battle yesterday, how could he hide in the city? What's more, Brother Daohui is far away thousands of miles away. When he comes, the fighter has been lost! The force is like water, and he is invisible. Du Tao is the enemy of the vanguard. Today, he should fight to shock the rebellion! In the future, he will be able to make the remaining troops in the rear of the tail and be afraid!" After saying that, he caught the gun in his hand and pointed at Du Tao under the city, saying disdainfully: "The little bandit dares to covet Dai. When Dai fights, he has not yet possessed his soul! If he doesn't deceive you, he will lead 5,000 battle soldiers to capture your head!"

"The general is powerful, Du Tao admires him and is willing to retreat five miles and fight with the general!"

Du Tao smiled coldly, pulled his horse's head, led his army to retreat for five miles, waiting for Dai Yuan to leave the city.

After a cup of tea, Dai Yuan led 5,000 soldiers out of the city slowly and fought behind the city! Suddenly, the light and shadows beating under his eyebrows, wiped them with his hands, and the fingers were slightly warm. He was suddenly shocked. He looked up and shouted: "Oh no! Fight against the sun! Du Tao is so cunning. Last night, I wanted to watch the night lanterns in the west of the city."

"Come on!"

Just at this moment, Du Tao saw that Dai Yuan had been five miles away from the city and the formation was chaotic. The central army was as thin as paper. He immediately waved his spear and rushed into the field. Dai Yuan was furious and his heart was beating like a drum. He had no time to scold Du Tao, so he had to hurry up to fight.

Dai Yuan's son Dai Ling saw that his formation was in danger, and he was very anxious. He drew his sword and shouted: "I should lead three thousand troops out of the city to save my father!"

Dai Yuan's brother Dai Miao pressed his sword and looked down, shook his head and said, "No, thousands of troops entangled the wilderness and spread across the country for five miles. Now, five miles away from the city, and the battle begins. Our soldiers are in one word, and our brother is fighting and fighting. If we go there, we will rebel against our formation! Besides, Du Tao still has 500 cavalrymen who are watching over, waiting for chaos!"

Deng Qian watched the battle on the city wall for a moment, his heart suddenly sank, shook his head, rolled his sleeves, slipped down the city wall, and said intimately: Dai Yuan, he only has his name, cherishing his name is better than cherishing his life, and he is determined to be Du Tao and Silkworm. I should take advantage of the chaos and go to Jingzhou.

One hour later.

Du Tao broke into Dai Yuan in the wild for several miles. In the crisis, Dai Ling led his army to save his father. How could he know that he could save his father and lost half of his army. Because he blocked the west of the city, the remaining soldiers could not return to the city and had to flee south. When he led his army back to the city, there were only 6,000 more than 10,000 soldiers in the city. Seeing that his courage had left his back, Du Tao immediately rushed to the field and drove the remaining army to attack Liyang. He ordered the cavalry to surrender and recruit them. When he arrived in Liyang, he finally got 7,000 troops.

At the same time, Qian Feng led a 25,000 army to cross east to Wan County on the north bank of the river. There were only 2,000 defenders in the city. When they saw the army covered the sky and stretched for ten miles, they were immediately frustrated and fought for a moment. County Magistrate Chen Yu took advantage of the prefecture Zhang Dun's unpreparedness and asked to surrender to the city.

Qian Fengyun surrendered, took the defenders in the city and entered Lujiang in the east.

To the south of the river, Wang Han, the brother of the general, led an army of 10,550 to Poyang and went straight to the Shicheng Army Pass in Jiangkou. The champion general Zhou Yan led 3,000 soldiers to defend the army Pass. Wang Han asked to invite him to fight fiercely, but Zhou Yan could not leave. In desperation, Wang Han had to attack with force.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, on the 4th day of the fierce battle, Wang Han broke into the Shicheng Army. Zhou Yan led only a hundred cavalry to escape and rushed to Xiangcheng. Although Wang Han broke into the army, he had suffered heavy casualties and had to rest for a day. Then, he led 102 troops to invade Fanchang and Dingtao counties along the way.

Little did he know that Wang Han was not good at placing troops, so he invaded the countryside and plundered. Xiangcheng County was a Qiao County, and most of the residents came to Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places. Therefore, the people were strong, and even the chief of the garrison Chen Lu formed a young army to fight with the king Hanbu Laju, who was plundering the four fields.

When Wang Dun heard this, he was furious, but he remained silent. He ordered Yu Liang to lead his army 5,000 out of Yuzhang to help Wang Han retreat to the enemy, and ordered Wang Han not to stay and to destroy Xiangcheng quickly.

At that time, he heard that Gao Bao, the general under the tent of the Marquis of Chaisang, led 8,000 troops northwards, and Zhu Tao, the assassin of Yizhou, led 10,000 troops eastwards. The general was ashamed of the mountain and was unmoved. He ordered General Longxiang Wei Yi to lead 10,000 troops to attack. After defeating Gao Bao, he went north to capture Sima Cheng's Changsha and intercepted Zhu Tao here. He ordered Wang Yu to send 10,000 troops from Jingzhou to attack Zhu Tao.

Therefore, the general changed his mind and thought about Yuzhou and Liangzhou. Before he had received the order from Jiankang, he immediately sent the military officers to Yidu with confidence. Badong and persuaded the governor of Liangzhou to go south to follow. If he followed, he would go to Yuzhang. If he did not follow, he would order Wang Yu to collect the military power and to force him to send a letter to Liu Nong, inviting him to go to Lujiang and chase Jiankang in the south. He would be granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu. It is clear that Jing and Jiangzhou are already like iron buckets, and if they come, it is difficult to return!

"Drive, drive!"

From Shixing to Xinshi, Zu Sheng led three thousand cavalry to run wildly like a tide. This was Tao Kan's plan, and ordered Gao Bao to lead five thousand troops to Luling, forcing Yuzhang, and held two flags to deceive Wang Dun's eyes. He secretly ordered Zu Sheng to go around Yuzhang, go straight to Xinshi, and enter Xiangcheng County through Xinshi.

After running for several days, people were tired and horses were trapped. Zu Sheng did not dare to slack off. He forced himself all the way. It was the 22nd day of the first lunar month when Xinshi was on the 22nd day of the first lunar month. After a short rest, he crossed the Raoshui east, and then headed north to Dingtao. However, he had just arrived in Fanchang, when Yu Liang led his army.

"Report"

A cavalry rushed from north to south, and when he approached, he shouted loudly: "Report to the commander, 15 miles north, Yuzhang's unit, about 5,000, four chased the people of the countryside, and thus the formation was dispersed!"

"The formation is dispersed?"

Zu Sheng raised his thick eyebrows, shook the dust on his shoulders, and thought to himself: When the enemy is in the wild, the brave will win, and the wise will lose! He immediately raised his horse's head high, shouted with a gun: "Although our army is tired, we are caught by the enemy, and we will intercept it in the middle of the road. We can definitely fight and win it, and follow me!"

"No!" Three thousand light cavalry swept the north through the wind.

At this moment, General Yu Liang was about to defeat Chen Lu's son. Chen Min looked at the villagers running around in the wild, and was angry and cursed: Wang Han, Wang Chuhong, is a man! He is a man who is not good at fighting, but he is stranded by the stubborn men of the villagers for four days. If he follows this trend, when can he arrive at Jiankang? The son was unable to plan and was whispered in his heart. He looked even more anxious, so he wanted to conquer the army eastward and join Wang Han in Dingtao.

"Boom"

The horse's hooves are deafening, the wind roars are fading

The first year of Yongchang, the 23rd day of the first lunar month.

Jiangxiadu.

The rolling river flows eastward, and it is as quiet as a lake. The birds rise up in the river, flapping their wings along the hundreds of boats like ants. Liu Nong stands at the head of the giant boat, Xun Guanniang, Qu Ping, Ran Liang, Xu Yi, Kong Zhen, Wang Ping and others are like stars surround the moon, looking at the Jiangxia Ferry Crossing together. Behind the generals, the boats are like city, covered with river surfaces, and the white robes are like waves, which are better than the rolling river.

Ten thousand iron cavalry, men and horses, and are about to force the river to cross the summer.

Jiangxia Ferry Crossing, high-rise buildings in the river, Huan Xuan was covered with a helmet and armor, watching the sails came, frowned, and thought to himself: As expected, Huating Marquis is entering Jiangxia, observing its formation, I want to make a forceful crossing, if I lead the army to intercept half of the crossing

Chu Qi stood side by side with him, guessing his thoughts, frowned and instantly released, pointed to the river, and said coldly: "Look at it in Huan Zhennan, take two giant boats, hundreds of small boats, and the small boats can cross three people and three horses, and there are more than a thousand cavalry! If Huan Zhennan attacks half of the crossing, can he build a small boat? If it is not possible, I am afraid that the general will be attacked from both sides! What's more, the general has lived in Jingzhou for a long time, and he should hear a word, and his white robe is invincible!"

Huan Xuan looked at Chu Qi, feeling uneasy, thinking to himself: Chu Qia is the prefect of Wuchang, and he is under the jurisdiction of three thousand county troops. If he has a different ambition, I will be attacked from both sides! At that moment, he said coldly: "Is this what your father meant?"

Chu Li looked at Huan Xuan's eyes, and did not avoid or give in. He bowed lazily: "The general is clearing the king's side, and the good and bad are hard to predict. The Chu family in Qiantang is willing to watch on the wall! It is not easy for Huan family in Ji County to cross the south, so why not wait for the visit and cross the river to express their intentions and make another statement. At that time, either attack or retreat, or guard against the formation of troops entering Jingzhou, all of which are the general's advance and retreat! What's more, Chu Li once heard that Zhennan was coming to Xiao, and the mother of Zhennan, loves Sisi's hometown, and has not crossed south, and still exists in Yuzhou!" When he said this, he glanced at the river surface and saw that the light boat had been diverted. The war was about to begin, and bowed heavily: "Huan Zhennan, things have come to this point, and if he should be cut off, they will be cut off. If he hesitates, both jade and stones will be burned!"

"snort!"

Huan Xuan snorted coldly, his face was as cold as iron, but he thought to himself: "Someone attacked and retreated, thus concealing the eyes and ears. The Chu family in Qiantang has heard of both sides! The number of people lingered here a few days ago. His father Chu Qiading heard that he had not been pulled back, and his intention was difficult to predict."

"Woo, woo"

Just at this moment, a horn sounded suddenly in the sky. On the river, hundreds of light boats scattered like birds and beasts, densely packed, and penetrated towards the south bank.

To be continued.
