I traveled through time, starting with two acres of land and a dog

This retreat caused the central attack to slow down, and both the upper and lower routes rushed up the ridge, won the first merit, and began to pursue the enemy, capture prisoners and snatch spoils.

"Damn it, keep attacking," Captain Yang was a little angry when he saw that he didn't get the first credit, so he immediately gave the order to attack again.

The second wave of troops followed up, and he also brought the guard team and two squads to the pass at the end. The enemy used dead leaves to lay a fire belt and put gunpowder bags in it. When Captain Yang's team rushed up for the first time, they ignited the explosive bags to block the rapid attack of the central army, and then ignited the fallen leaves to cover the alternate retreat of the personnel. This was indeed the work of a commander with rich combat experience. The Red Lantern Cult is a branch of the White Lotus Cult, and its hundreds of years of combat experience should not be underestimated.

In this battle, 12 soldiers of the central army were killed, half of whom were killed by the explosion of gunpowder bags buried in the fire at the back.

The loss of one-tenth of the troops at the very beginning made Captain Yang's face turn pale.

The troops who were cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the casualties found that they had 3 deaths, Wu Han's troops had 8 deaths, and there were several wounded. The enemy left behind 26 casualties.

The troops in the front pursued all the way, and the civilians carrying the wounded and dead carried them back, and they continued to move forward.

It took half an hour to chase along the way and we arrived at Zhuanzuiliangliang. After crossing Zhuanzuiliang, we reached Yuanshanping.

There are many alpine bushes here and many rocks on the ridges. We suffered sporadic gunfire along the way and several people were killed and injured, so we had to suspend the attack.

Captain Yang called Wu Han to arrange lunch, and finally followed the team to Zhongshanbao. Captain Liu led a group of people to a blue-tiled house at the foot of the mountain, but there was no one inside. Everyone had run away. After asking, they found out that this was Li Youtian's "carrying a burden", which means brother-in-law. It is estimated that he also surrendered to Li Youtian.

There was still food in the house that was turned out and people cooked in the yard.

They did not share a fire with others, but cooked on their own on a flat ground not far away. Soon, the village chief Liu also brought them some potatoes, bacon, and some eggs. This village chief was newly appointed, as the previous one had been dismissed by them, so he also knew who was the real boss here.

There was no action after lunch, and some minor injuries also needed bandaging and treatment.

In the afternoon, Captain Yang led the team to a meeting in a hurry. After He Cunyi came back, he said that Captain Yang thought that they could not attack from here. If they attacked directly from here, they would have to sacrifice at least 10 people, which was not cost-effective. Finally, after discussion, each team left one-third of the troops here to make a feint attack, and the rest of the people would cross the river from the ferry in the dark tomorrow morning, and then cross the river outside Lianghekou in a roundabout way, and join Yu Yuedong to disperse and attack along the Baihe River, which is several kilometers long, and surround Yuanshanping upwards.

At 10 a.m. tomorrow, everyone will begin attacking, including the feint troops.

Sure enough, not everyone is French. It is obvious that you can make a detour around the solid Maginot Line, so why would others want to pass through you?

This is also why the Sichuan Basin, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, was also easily breached in history, but almost no one went through Jianmen Pass to directly confront it. Deng Ai took the Yinping Ancient Road, Mongolia took a detour through Yunnan, and the Second Field Army during the Liberation War took a detour through Guizhou...

At dawn the next day, except for the remaining troops, the rest set out, crossed the ferry, and then went around Xujialiang and crossed from the wooden bridge opposite Lianghekou. It was only a two-hour journey.

As soon as the sun was about to rise, they rushed to the Lianghekou River as the vanguard and saw Yu Yuedong personally waiting by the river to meet them. They let Captain Yang's team go first, and saw Yu Yuedong nodding and bowing. Wu Han went through, and they went last.

Captain Yang ordered all the men to hide on the ridge, and he personally led the troops up the hill to scout the enemy situation on the other side of Baihe River. A brief combat meeting was held half an hour later. He Cunyi came back and reported that the opposite hillside was just a bare cornfield, and there were at least 200 people defending on the hillside, with a lot of stones and logs stored. As long as they attacked, the enemy would roll down the logs and stones.

Their mission and Wu Han's mission was to attack head-on and attract the enemy's defense, while Captain Yang and Yu Yuedong went up from the woods by the river and surrounded the enemy from the flank.

"Haha... let him be cannon fodder. It seems that after this meeting, Yu Yuedong has received a lot of money, and the relationship between the two sides has heated up rapidly," he sneered.

"Send orders. Have Xue Chen stationed at the East River and guard the wooden bridge. No one is allowed to cross without my order. Also, arrange a detachment at Baihe River to prepare for the attack. After they enter the woods, all move to a safe distance and observe and learn how regular troops fight." With less than 100 men under his command, there was no need for him to listen to orders from others.

Only orders issued with strength are effective orders.

Du Chenyu arranged the guard team in the Shanggang woods, which was at least 800 meters away from the opposite side. They could see rolling logs and stones on the road on the opposite hillside.

At 10 o'clock sharp, as soon as Captain Yang fired the starting gun, they also blew the charge bugle, and dozens of people rushed down the hillside, raising a lot of dust and looking very imposing, which scared the people on the opposite side. Although the momentum was huge, the speed was not fast.

As the front kept approaching the river, sporadic gunshots were heard from both sides, and a few logs began to roll down. The people who watched them attack in a roundabout way all crossed the river along the bottom of the cliff and attacked into the woods. Their people only hid behind the rocks on this side of the river, kept shouting, and sometimes fired a few shots.

Captain Yang and Yu Yuedong's troops had more than 100 people attacking in the woods, and a fierce gun battle broke out in the woods.

"Master Chenyu, Captain Yang, let them attack," He Cunyi came to report again.

"Don't worry about it. We are attacking. Don't you see that everyone's mouths are dry from shouting? They don't even dare to go into the river when there is water in it?" he said.

"If I ask you to attack, you will say that our people are afraid of death. I am just a deputy and the team will not listen to me. Besides, the territory occupied by the Red Light Cult is not ours," he said to He Cunyi.

After He Cunyi left, he saw Captain Yang running up towards him breathlessly. As soon as they met, he started yelling at He Cunyi. However, He Cunyi gestured for a long time, which made Captain Yang so angry that he jumped up and was about to draw his gun, but more than a dozen people on our side raised their guns in an instant and pulled the safety. Click... Click.

When Wu Han saw what was happening, he rushed over and tried to stop the fight. After some persuasion, everyone put down their guns.

Wu Han patted He Cunyi on the shoulder and looked towards him, knowing that this was the center, and then pulled He Cunyi towards him.

"Hu Zi, they have suffered heavy casualties and are almost dying. We can't just stand by and watch them die. They can't hold on any longer and all our efforts will be in vain," Wu Han ran up and said to him.

"Uncle Wu, I know the seriousness of the matter. I just want to teach them a lesson. He thinks it's so easy to get the money. Tell Hu Haisheng to bring a small team and a reconnaissance team, and you to send 1 people to assist. Continue to attack along the woods, help them, and defend the requisitioned land." He did not continue to watch the fire from the other side of the river. During this period of time, he saw more than 10 soldiers being carried out by the two families.

As more than 60 people from their side joined in, he saw the exchange of fire moving upwards. The watchtower at the T-junction leading to Xiguanbao and Donghe was also knocked down by mortars. Then he saw a big fire gradually starting on the road. The forest was on fire in winter, with flames billowing and the fire rushing straight into the sky. There were flames on trees more than ten meters high.

The lower half of the slope below Yuanshanping is covered with trees, and there are at least 10 households there, which are estimated to be reduced to ashes in this fire.

The fierce battle lasted for more than an hour, and the enemy gradually retreated.

After Xue Chen arrived, he continued to let Xue Chen lead the team and began to prepare for the pursuit.
