"It depends on the tracking results of the scouts!"

In less than half an hour, a scout ran over on horseback and reported: "Chief Commander, we have found the Song army, and our subordinates have found a large number of shoe prints on a dusty dirt road four miles to the northwest! Our army is all cavalry. Because of the fighting in the past few days, all the people in the vicinity have run away, and there are no pedestrians on the road, so the subordinates concluded that those large footprints were left by the Song army, and the direction of the road should be Chengdu City!"

Cao Ming immediately sent a personal soldier on a fast horse to report to Zhao Junsheng's main force, and then sent a fast horse to detour to report the situation to Nie Feihu, the remaining general outside Chengdu.

"Order all buildings to pursue in the direction of Chengdu!"

Several building generals clasped their fists and bowed and agreed: "The last general waits for orders!"

However, it was said that Zhao Junsheng led the main cavalry to continue to pursue in the southeast direction after dawn. Although the marching speed was increased a lot, they could not catch up with Li Dan's Song army after chasing for a whole morning.

During the lunch break, Zhao Junsheng called Li Bao and Yang Lie over to discuss and said: "There is no bottom for us to chase like this. I have thought about it, or we should send a scout to track the Song army in front of the main force, and Leave marks along the way, and if you find Song Jun, send someone back to report immediately!"

Yang Lie said: "Your Majesty is very worried. It's due to my negligence. If the Song army did not go towards Longquan Mountain, wouldn't we be chasing it in vain? I will arrange scouts to go!"

After lunch, the army continued on the road. After walking for half an hour, the cavalry scout team in front sent someone back to report that they had found the traces left by Song Jun. As long as they followed the traces, they would definitely be able to catch up.

Zhao Junsheng and Yang Lie felt a little relieved when they found Song Jun's trace. After all, they were fighting in a different place, and they were not familiar with the terrain here. The traces of the Song Army at least show that the Song Army is retreating in the direction of Longquan Mountain, rather than turning around and going to Chengdu.

At this time, several of Li Dan came to the foot of Longquan Mountain with 5000 troops.

"Longquan Mountain is here. Send an order to the soldiers to speed up their pace. We rush to Longquan to occupy the dangerous terrain first, and then wait for work at leisure!" Li Dan's voice spread in the team.

Finally seeing Longquan Mountain, the soldiers of the Song Army swept away the previous decadence, everyone's spirits were lifted, and their feet also accelerated a lot.

Not long after, the Song Army Brigade finally arrived at the entrance of the Shashan Pass in Longquan Mountain.

Li Dan reined in his horse and turned his head to look at it, waved his hands and shouted: "Jiangyang army will control the mountain on the left, Dangqu army will control the mountain on the right, prepare more rolling stones and trees, and the other ministries will follow me to hide outside the mountain pass Among the forests on the hillsides on both sides!"

The two army horses were ordered to quickly climb up the mountain peaks on the left and right sides of the mountain pass. Li Dan led the rest of the soldiers and divided them into two groups, each of which found a densely wooded hillside to hide.

When the soldiers were about to hide, Li Dan pulled a messenger and ordered: "Go and tell the lieutenants of the Dangqu Army and Jiangyang Army that once the Qianjun army catches up and starts to pass through the mountain pass, immediately push down the rolling logs and stones to block it." Their way forward must persist until this general and his troops outflank the former army!"

Before the messenger had time to agree, there was a shout of killing from the mountain not far away, and Li Dan's face changed drastically, "What's going on? Go and see!"

"Yes, General!" A soldier quickly ran down the hillside.

Not long after, the soldiers returned and reported: "General, something is wrong. The pass on the mountain has already been occupied by the army. It is terrible, and the canyon passing through the mountain pass has been blocked by the dry army!"

"What?" Li Dan was so frightened that his face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Go down the mountain, follow this general down the mountain!"

With a whimper, thousands of people ran down from the dense forest on the hillside. These soldiers of the Song Army followed Li Shan and looked up at the Dangqu Army and Jiangyang Army who were retreating from the halfway up the mountain.

The generals of the Dangqu Army and Jiangyang Army were all in a state of embarrassment at this time, many of them were injured, and many of them were smashed beyond recognition by the falling stones and wood, and died in a miserable state.

The captain of the Jiangyang Army was out of breath, leading the remnants of the defeated generals to the battle, "General, the last general is ashamed!"

It was the fault of Li Dan, the commander, who rashly ordered the two troops to mount the mountain without ordering reconnaissance in advance. Li Dan knew that this was his responsibility, and he could not blame the captains of the two armies. He waved his hands and said, "I don't blame you for this." Wait, tell me about the situation on the mountain, how many soldiers are there?"

Hong Guangtong, Captain of the Jiangyang Army, said: "The exact number is not clear, but it must not be less than three hundred, and the situation on the opposite mountain should be similar! General, the last general suspects that the army should take a detour to Longquan Mountain to kill me. The army is on their way back, otherwise our army would not have bumped into them, so it can be seen that the army has already planned, this time our army may be very dangerous!"

Lieutenant Tang Yuanhui of the Dangqu Army clasped his fists and said: "General, the last general thinks what General Hong said is true. Now we have enemy troops blocking our way back, and enemy troops chasing after us. If we don't think of a way, I'm afraid the whole army It's in danger of being wiped out!"

Li Dan frowned deeply, "Do you have any tricks?"

Tang Yuanhui clasped his fists and said: "The general can't think of any clever plan. If our army can't pass through Longquan Mountain, we can only bypass Longquan Mountain and return to Berkshire. However, it will take a lot of time to bypass Longquan Mountain, which is enough time for the army. The cavalry chased up and charged our army! The general thought that instead of being chased by the dry cavalry and killing everyone, it would be better to risk his life to attack the mountain pass. There are only 700 people on both sides. Even if our army pays some price, As long as we can capture the mountain pass and hold it for a day or two, the dry army cavalry cannot attack the mountain, and they will retreat soon, and our army will be safe by then!"

Li Dan comprehensively considered the current situation and Tang Yuanhui's proposal, and finally agreed: "Okay, let's do as you said! Come here, send an order, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, and listen to the general's command later Attack the mountain!"

The military leaders of several armies agreed one after another: "Obey!"

Two quarters later, the soldiers of the Song army had eaten and drank enough, and their exhaustion had disappeared a lot. Li Dan gave the order and sent 500 people to attack on the left and right sides of the mountain respectively.

There is no way up the mountain at all. The slopes on both sides are sometimes steep and sometimes rocky. It is extremely difficult to climb. There is no rolling stone rolling down the mountain.

Arrows were shot down from the tops of the mountains on both sides, and the arrows were so accurate and ruthless that many people fell down from the arrows while climbing the mountain and never got up again.

The first round of attack had just climbed halfway up the mountain, and the attacking Song army was driven down again, losing hundreds of people.

Li Dan had a serious face, gritted his teeth and said, "Substitute, attack again!"

Another thousand were sent out.

At this time, from the north and south directions of the west foot of Longquan Mountain, a dry army cavalry approached the mountain pass.

All the knights were on horseback, and the horses' mouths were covered with a hood to prevent them from neighing, and all the dry knights also had sticks in their mouths.

These two cavalry are the thousand cavalry led by Yang Dayan, with five hundred cavalry in the north and south.

Li Dan left the scouts at the back of the army. Once he found that the cavalry of the Qianjun was chasing and killing him, he would get the news immediately. After arriving here, he just forgot to send the scouts along the foot of Longquan Mountain to the north and south. Of course, he never thought that the Gan army would come back to block his return, let alone that the Gan army cavalry would attack him from the north and the south.

It wasn't until Yang Dayan brought the cavalry two miles away from Li Dan's Song Army that Li Dan's Song Army found them, but it was too late.

Yang Dayan raised his sword and slapped his horse and shouted: "Soldiers, come with me, kill all these Song soldiers!"

"Kill ah-"

Yang Dayan rode a red horse, holding a big knife in his hand, broken like Guan Gong, and he led the cavalry to charge unstoppably. In the third paragraph, the Song army was in great chaos and could not be organized. The general could not control the soldiers, and the soldiers did not listen to the general's command because of fear, and they were in a mess.

Yang Dayan held a big knife in his hand and slashed left and right, killing Song Jun one after another until he was covered in blood, and he didn't know how many heads he chopped off.

Thousands of Song soldiers were charged by Yang Dayan's troops, they were completely confused and fled in all directions. Yang Dayan immediately led his troops to chase and kill them, and they didn't withdraw until dusk.

General Li Dan of the Song Army and more than 2000 generals were captured, and countless were beheaded and killed during the rout, and many of them fled into Longquan Mountain without a trace.

At sunset, Zhao Junsheng arrived at Longquan Pass with the main cavalry army, but found that the battle had already ended, and Yang Dayan was directing the soldiers to guard the prisoners.

Yang Dayan heard his subordinates report that the emperor came with the main force, and immediately ordered his generals to take care of the prisoners and clean up this time, and he took people to meet them.

Chapter 993

"Chen Yang pays homage to His Majesty with big eyes!"

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped, "General Yang excused himself, how is the battle going?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Song army was defeated by our army. More than 2000 Song generals Li Dan, his subordinate generals and soldiers were captured. Those who were beheaded by our army are still being counted and counted. There should be no less than [-] people. A small number of remnants of the Song army have fled into Longquan Mountain, and I have sent troops to chase them down!"

Zhao Junsheng showed a smile on his face: "Well done, you did not disappoint me! I will continue to be responsible for chasing and suppressing the defeat of the Song army! After taking down the entire territory of Sichuan and Shu, I will reward you for your meritorious deeds." !"

"I obey the order, thank you for your majesty's love, I will do my duty faithfully and live up to your majesty's trust!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded, turned to Yang Lie and said, "Order the army to camp on the spot, and you will arrange related matters such as security patrols!"

"According to the order!"

Zhao Junsheng asked Yang Dayan: "Where is that Song general Li Dan now?"

Yang Dayan replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Li Dan is being held together with other Song Army prisoners!"
