Kuai Shou's trump card reached 20,000 people.

The Jin army still did not order a general attack on Huyantong.

This time, the reason is not that no one dares to make the decision, but that after communicating with Wushu, Ba Lisu and Wu Shu noticed the position of the sun together... The sky is getting later and later, and it is gradually becoming gloomier... and Huyantong is just a part

In contrast, they must ensure that the troops cannot lose control because of darkness.

No one wants to fight at night in a daze.

However, no one can control the situation. Just pull away and Wu Shu to make a plan that the large forces can retreat slightly, but they must use local superiority to launch a surprise attack before dark to eat up the Huyantong Department and obtain the established victory.

After that... things suddenly got out of control.

What triggered all this was another Song army reinforcement from the northwest.

The weather became increasingly gloomy. When Zhao Guan's dragon banner and a reinforcement force no less numerous than the two main groups under the banner appeared in the northwest, there was neither a good view of the wind nor any armor light to shoot towards the golden scales.

The splendor...that was exclusive to Li Yanxian when he arrived.

However, as Long Hu appeared in the field of vision of both sides, the situation immediately spiraled out of control. Each unit instinctively reorganized and entered a state of war. However, the least disciplined Mongolian cavalry went too far. One of them went directly from an empty shoal to the other side.

A raid was launched.

Immediately, a scene that made everyone nervous but had been expected for a long time appeared. The two armies, which had long been in a tense confrontation due to hasty gathering, lost control directly. The troops of both sides launched attacks on each other from the shoals and bridges where the confrontation was at the front, and then

The battle group expanded rapidly, and then stirred up a battle line more than ten miles long.

Military orders and tactics all failed.

Zhao Jiu himself probably never imagined that his arrival would have such an effect.

Even Wu Da, who arrived with Long Yu, fell into a moment of confusion.

Not to mention this, as Zhao Guan's dragon banner was stationed behind Li Shifu's troops, a dull thunder suddenly sounded... As a conditioned reflex, everyone thought that a large group of cavalry was coming, and the Jin army had already sent people to sneak across from the upstream or downstream.

However, when Zhao Guanjia, who had just boarded an elevated car, looked around both sides, he did not see any obvious smoke and dust on the plains on both sides.

In fact, after hearing the thunder, Balisu, who had been lurking behind the high ground, was stunned. He also thought that a large group of cavalry was ambushed somewhere... maybe Quduan's cavalry came from the side and behind?

And soon, both families realized that this time it was really thundering. Before the evening, the clouds were mixed and gradually thickened, then spring thunder rolled, the sky was dark, the ground was dark, and the rain fell like a stream.

No one wants to fight a bad war, but the sudden thunderstorm turned this battle into a bad war!

Thunder, lightning, rain and dusk easily erased the last possibility of conveying military orders and controlling the troops. At the same time, they also awakened the various departments that were already fighting together from the fever of war from top to bottom.

Before Han Shizhong heard the thunder, he had almost ordered his entire army to cross the river and engage in a full-scale battle with the Wushu in front of him. Hu Yantong was also preparing to pounce directly on the high ground.

But as soon as the rain fell, accompanied by thunder, it was impossible to tell which clan's clanging was coming from under the sound of rain, and the fighting troops on both sides began to retreat consciously.

Only during the retreat, the routes of both sides and the situation between ourselves and the enemy were completely blurred, and encounters were everywhere.

And it is obvious that since the Song army initiated the battle first and had troops crossing the river, it was destined to become the party with greater losses in this bad battle.

Spring thunder was rolling, and the fields were vast. Zhao Jiu stood in the car, letting the rain wash over his face, and fell into a dazed posture.

It's not up to him. Anyone involved in this plot will probably be confused. And in this situation, there seems to be nothing else to do except be confused. Once the rain falls, he has to rely on the flash of lightning to see anything clearly about the battle.

.

The battlefield is too big and there are too many troops!

"Official family."

Wu Jie supported Zhao Guanjia from one side. "Come down quickly... It is easy to attract lightning at high places. Set up gold needles to protect against lightning. This is what the official said in the residence newspaper."

Only then did Zhao Jiu come to his senses and hurriedly got out of the car. He was speechless when he saw that everyone around him, including himself, was wearing metal armor.

"Your Majesty." When Zhao Guan's family came to the ground, Wu Jie's tone was slightly lower. "I am ashamed."

"What does Jin Qing have to be ashamed of?" Zhao Jiu quickly shook his head. "It's going to rain and my mother is going to get married. Who can control the rain? Besides, it was a bad battle because we lost more in this river.

, it is impossible to cause a really big loss of combat power... But no matter what, we have to do something now, not just to gather the troops... It is the responsibility of the Prince of Yan'an County and Li Shaoyan to gather the troops... We also have to do something, so as to

Make sure morale is not discouraged.”

"Guan family." Wu Jie opened his mouth to respond, his tone becoming more cautious, but also extremely resolute. "In the past two days, we have pressed hard and pushed forward the front line forcefully. But what happened today shows that both sides have reached their limit. There will be no more

The room for maneuver is that even if it rains today, we can only rely on the Taiping River to maintain it for a while... Under such a situation, the more tense it is, the less we can retreat. Therefore, we must first set up a stronghold on this side of the river to facilitate the dispatch of troops.

, and at the same time ensure that there are no Jin Army strongholds on this side of the Taiping River!"

Zhao Jiu thought for a moment in the rain and suddenly said: "I remember before the news was sent today, you originally asked Li Yanxian to lead his troops to capture the city of Huolu County? Is the city of Huolu County on this side?"

"yes."

"how far?"

"It's more than ten miles away from here, but it's not directly northwest. It's east of here. It's only five or six miles away from the Taiping River."

"How many defenders are there?"

"A fierce security..."

"Sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Take it down! Take it down immediately in the rain and in the dark. We will spend the night in Huolu County today, and set up a large-scale stronghold with this city as the center... Let Liu Yan personally supervise the four commanders to climb the city on all sides and capture it in one fell swoop!"

"yes!"

The military order was passed down in a hurry, but the front line was still in chaos. In the rain, Zhao Jiufu couldn't help but ask again. "Qing Jin, why did the Jin Army abandon Huolu County and instead set up a stronghold around Shiyi Town?"

"Before today, I only thought that they were interested in the smooth and smooth surroundings of Shiyi, or that they were worried that our army would use gunpowder to blow up the city and destroy their morale... But when I came to the battle today, I instantly woke up." As he said, Wu Jie

He pointed his finger in the direction of the southeastern bank of the river. "Guan, have you ever paid attention to the high ground on the other side of the river?"

Zhao Jiu, pay attention!

He is confused now.

However, this did not delay him from using the flash of lightning to immediately notice the high ground.

"Guanjia, that should be the only high ground on the other side of the river. It's two or three miles from the river and about ten miles from Shiyi Camp." Wu Jie answered seriously. "It's six to seven miles in radius."

"I understand." Zhao Jiu suddenly understood for a moment. "They did not take a fancy to Shiyi, but to this highland. There is a flat road on the other side of the river. Only this highland is under the high forest. If the war breaks out, they can be like this.

Occupying the high ground, you can be condescending, grasp the battle situation on all sides, and send cavalry to sweep and support at any time."

"Guan Jia Rui Duan." Wu Jie nodded in agreement, but extended it a little. "But it's more than that... In such a war, it is impossible to pursue fixed tactics. Just like today's situation of suppressing our army's crossing troops by occupying high ground, it is reasonable to attack calmly.

Yes... but it is also possible that they used that piece of high ground as a bait to deliberately lure our army to attack. However, in order to gain visibility and gain in battle, our army had to attack even though it was a bait. At that time, the reinforcements waiting for our army behind us would be because of the river.

When their progress failed, they concentrated their troops to sweep away our troops, ate up our troops on the high ground, and retook the high ground."

"I understand. Anyway, the high ground is here and the Taiping River is here. We attack and they defend. The initiative is in their hands. There is always no shortage of tricks in tactics... right?"

"Your Majesty is Ruijuan." Wu Jie repeated those words again.

Lightning flashed again, and the surrounding areas were blurred. Even the high ground on the other side of the river seemed blurry.

Zhao Jiu, who was already soaked all over, looked towards the other side of the river and shook his head in the rain: "No matter what, wait until the rain stops and the curves gather... He should only have two days... It won't be too late to make plans then."

Amidst the rumbling thunder, Wu Jie stopped talking.
