Chapter 686

Meng Shanming didn't stay in the tent for a long time. After asking the 50000 soldiers for an explanation in front of the people, he asked Luo Daan to turn his wheelchair and leave. He didn't respond to the cry behind him.

It is not that he is cold-blooded and ruthless, but that he has been used to similar things in his military life. Many things are put in his heart and no longer look happy.

He could understand why Sun Gaotian cried.

The only place where a group of murderous men can cry is the battlefield.

In Zhang Hu's Chinese army tent, the wheelchair habitually came to the hanging map. Meng Shanming stared at the map and asked, "what's going on in Jiangxia county? Cough..."

Zhang Hu said, "the men and horses have set off, diving in the day and walking at night..." half way, he glanced at the hand that covered his mouth and loosened when mengshanming coughed. He was shocked to see a touch of bright red in the palm of mengshanming's hand and coughed up blood!

Zhang Hu was shocked and rushed over, "marshal, what's the matter with you?"

Mengshanming wanted to hide, but he was found. Gong Lince and others came forward and were surprised.

When the war comes to this point, the old man can't have an accident!

Gong Lince is a little flustered. He personally investigates the illness for mengshanming.

Mengshan sighed, "it's nothing."

How can it be all right? At his age, he hardly closed his eyes these days. He really worked hard to arrange the war and his body is almost worn out.

After checking for him, Gong Lince quickly took out the elixir and forced him to take it. He said in a deep voice, "Meng Shuai, you are too tired to endure any more. You must rest." he waved and forced Meng Shanming to rest.

Meng Shanming waved his hand and signaled to wait a moment. Before leaving, he explained to Zhang Hu again and again: "only defeat, not victory!"

Zhang Hu looked worried, nodded repeatedly and said, "I understand, marshal, go and have a rest. I'll arrange it here."

Meng Shanming took his hand and patted, "in order not to shake the morale of the army, don't spread it!"

Zhang Hu nodded and understood that he meant coughing up blood.

Mengshanming was then sent to another tent. Gong Lince sent capable disciples to regulate mengshanming's breath, and even lit mengshanming's acupoints, forcing mengshanming to quickly enter a state of rest.

After drilling out of mengshanming's rest tent, Zhang Hu asked Gong Lince, "master Gong, is the commander all right?"

"It's no big problem. I'm old, overworked and exhausted. It's my negligence. Don't worry. We can help recuperate and have a good rest. It should be all right." Gong Lince sighed and turned back and asked, "the people of the river defense of the state of song are coming this way. I'll give you the command here. Won't it be lost?"

Zhang Hu: "there must be a loss!"

Gong Lince suddenly turned back, raised his eyebrows and said coldly, "are you kidding me?"

Zhang Hu: "I'm not kidding. You heard what the marshal said just now. You can only lose, not win!"

Gong Lince was stunned for a moment and pondered for a moment. Meng Shanming did say this just now. He was disturbed by Meng Shanming's condition and didn't think about it for a time. He hesitated and said, "in other words, Meng Shuai has another plan?"

Zhang Hu nodded.

Gong Lince: "you might as well tell me in detail."

Zhang Hu shook his head: "can't say, will order, the scholar can execute, don't need to make everyone know."

Gong Lince faintly snorted, "why, don't you even trust me? Can I still leak the secret?"

Zhang Hu: "it's not a matter of trust or distrust. Can you bet the word" trust "on the lives of hundreds of thousands of people? Military aircraft on the battlefield are top secret, and those who can't be restrained by military orders will hide it!"

Gong Lince looked a little dissatisfied, but he didn't force it. Zhang Hu didn't say. He didn't dare to give Zhang Hu anything now.

……

After the new rain on the empty mountain, a mountain is slightly foggy, overlooking the direction of the river in the East.

Niu Youdao received the message from Gongsun Bu delivered by Guan Fangyi. After reading it, he smiled, "mengshanming is worthy of mengshanming. The Jiangfang of the state of song still failed to stop him, so he broke it in one fell swoop. I was worried about him."

He was really worried before, because he knew that the army's food was limited. He even arranged for people to inquire about the monks on the other side, and wanted to start with the monks on the other side to see if he could deal with some people and secretly let the Yan army cross the river. Whoever wants Meng Shanming will do it by himself. He doesn't need any trouble at all.

As for the casualties in the news, he only saw a rough figure. He didn't have much feeling about the tragic situation of the war, only the joy of success.

He didn't understand this, didn't see it with his own eyes, and really didn't have any tragic feelings.

Guan Fangyi just sighed, "the army is fighting, human life is like grass mustard, a generation of famous generals... One will succeed, thousands of bones are withered!"

……

"Sir, reinforcements are coming."

The defeated Hukou garrison is resting in the mountain forest. Xu laiping with a decadent face sits on a stone and bows his head. The morale of the soldiers around him is depressed.

As soon as I rode, I was glad to report the good news.

In the distance, there was a movement. Xu laiping slowly looked up at the road ahead. After a while, he saw a mighty army.

In front of the team, dozens rode fast and stopped here.

The leader was Liao Nanqing, the commander of the Qingqu garrison. Xu laiping, sitting halfway up the mountain on his horse's back, said loudly, "brother Xu."

Xu laiping went down the mountain and shook his head painfully in front of the horse. "The Hukou defense line was lost. Xu is to blame for his death. In the future, he will be a small family in Beijing. I hope brother Liao will take care of him."

Liao Nanqing jumped off his horse and took his arm. "Brother Xu doesn't have to be so depressed. The governor has ordered you and me to join the army and be sure to recapture the Hukou defense line before Xu Jingyue's Department crosses the river. This is the time to commit a crime and make meritorious contributions. As long as you can recapture the Hukou defense line, brother Xu will be demoted at most, and his family can still take care of it. Why should you entrust it to others?"

Now is not the time to be wordy. Xu laiping can't be lazy. He can only cheer up again.

The two sides met and rushed to the Hukou defense line again. Xu laiping made a comeback.

……

The army of the state of song going deep into the hinterland of the state of Yan is still going straight to Yanjing. It is still overwhelming all the way. The sporadic harassment of a small number of people and horses in various prefectures is like tickling, which can not stop the song army's attack at all.

The army was moving forward. At the side of the road, Luo Zhao had jumped off the horse, put his hands on the saddle and lowered his head. The whole person seemed to be trembling. He was wearing a white cloak, shaking, and his fingers were white.

Several people on one side took turns to check the battle report from the Jiangfang side of the song state. The Hukou defense line was broken by Yan army in one fell swoop!

The faces of all the people present were ugly.

The war report said that a large number of Yan troops suddenly attacked the granary behind the Hukou defense line. Luo Zhao expected that there would not be a large number of Yan troops in real quantity. He asked the other side to be careful and urgently spread the countermeasures back.

Who knows, it is estimated that the news back here is still on the way, and the news that the Hukou defense line has been broken has arrived.

"When did Jiangfang become a paper paste? How could it be broken with one stab? Wu qunlie, you fool, damn it!" Luo Zhaohu punched on the saddle and screamed beside the frightened horse.

The horse retreated. Luo Zhao covered his hands and faced the sky. After loosening his hands, he shook his head. His face showed a ferocious way: "Mengshan Ming old man!"

He can't believe it. I can't believe that the defense line can be broken by mengshanming so soon. He didn't even get the time to attack Yanjing. He really hopes the news is false, but he knows it can't be false.

Su Yuanbai shook his hand and said with a cold face, "according to the war report, he broke the river defense in two or three hours. How is this possible?"

Dongying also said, "how did the Yan army sneak across the river behind the river defense? The friars along the river built cross patrols. So many people crossed the river, the friars couldn't find out. Who was bought and put in?"

Wen you frowned and said, "I'm confused over Jiangfang. I still don't understand how the enemy sneaked across."

Luo Zhao couldn't shake his head and said, "mengshanming's inaction for a few days is estimated to be making trouble in the dark to make advance preparations for crossing the river."

He could only make a rough judgment about this, but he didn't know that mengshanming waited for the heavy rain when he went up to observe the sky. He chose the rolling dragon gorge in the right place. The winning warrior crossed the rolling dragon gorge at the cost of his life. After concentrating all kinds of factors, he broke the Hukou defense line in one fell swoop.

Behind the seemingly successful war, I don't know how much effort mengshanming has put in. Who would have thought that mengshanming forced across the natural danger when the river surged and the current was fast and it was most impossible to cross the river?

Chang Fei said, "governor, this is it. I'm afraid it's going to shake the hall and urge for help."

Luo Zhao: "Meng Shanming's treacherous plan to help us out just happened. He took the opportunity to help Yanjing. Besides, our army is so far away from the Dongyu river that it's too late to go back. The bastard Jinjue is hateful. Now we can only grab the time with Meng Shanming and lure South Korea to send troops first, so that the country of Yan will be destroyed soon. The three factions of Yan can force Meng Shanming to help us at any cost. Wu Qun lie, Wu Qun lie, you haven't even won me this time! "

Hate slapped him with a fist. "The Jiangfang defense line has been loosened since it was broken. Wu qunlie's fool is still taking the strategy of adding oil to stop the leak. Is he the opponent of the old thief mengshanming? Confused! It should be destroyed with heavy troops!"

Wen you sighed: "in fact, it can't blame him. How dare Wu qunlie loosen the defense line before he gets his life? It's a matter of losing his head. He can't afford to take such a big responsibility!"

Luo Zhao: "Summon Wu qunlie immediately and tell him that once the defense line is broken, he doesn't have to defend any more. Other people and horses of Yan army cross the river. He just needs to gather heavy troops, suppress the weak with strong strength, and destroy the enemy people and horses one by one with absolute strength. If the elimination is not clean, don't be afraid. How much can be destroyed is how much. Mengshan Ming is short of food and grass. It's the end of a powerful crossbow. He just needs to bite behind Mengshan Ming , if you don't give him a chance to get food and grass, you will soon kill him! "

Wen you left quickly after writing it down and urgently transmitted this major strategic deployment to Wu qunlie.

"Alas!" Luo Zhao suddenly heaved a sigh and said to himself: "If Meng Shanming wants to make a difference in the territory of the state of song, he must destroy the main force of the river defense, otherwise once bitten by the main force of the river defense, the food and grass situation of the Yan army will not be able to withstand the toss. I hope! I hope Wu qunlie will not be confused again, otherwise Meng Shanming will hold the river defense in turn, our army will not be able to return, and the poor food and grass situation of the Yan army will fall again In our army. "
