Wulong Ridge is right on the Yangtze River, with a cliff that is thousands of feet high and a hundred miles long. It can be regarded as the most important existence in the south. On the road where the Song army directly connects to the Wu army's old nest Muzhou, it has become a key point where both armies cannot avoid it and can only fight to the death. (Uh, I remembered it before, and I always wrote Muzhou as Wuzhou, so I will correct it here.)

But the towering mountains and steep mountains, the turbulent rivers ahead, and the Leishixiu Pass set up on the road that passes through the mountains are all deterrent existences that make the Song army deterred. The Yangtze River water just lies in front of the pass, which is enough to cost the Song army a considerable price to cross it, and if they want to break the pass, they will probably have to pay more than a hundred times more.

At this time, hundreds of Wu army ships were shuttled back and forth on the river, truly defending themselves with strict precautions. In Wulongling Pass, there were swords and guns, arrows flashing, and tens of thousands of troops were waiting for battle, and they did not dare to have any fear of fighting.

At the height of the pass, Fang Bainian stared at the Song army that was constantly gathering in formation in front of him, but there was no fear at all, and there was only a fanatical fighting spirit: "It's finally here, it's time to use my life that should have died long ago for His Majesty, the Kingdom of Wu, and the brothers who died. This time, even if I really die, I will guard the natural danger of Wulongling and not let the Song army go by one and one soldiers!"

As the most capable and trustworthy person in the Wu army, Fang Bainian, a brother of Fang La tribe who made great contributions in the battle in Hangzhou that day, became the chief general at the Wulongling Pass. Although he was not as brave as Fang Shifo and was not as good as Pang Wanchun in terms of command, his loyalty to Wu was not weaker than that of others.

"Tonight, let the navy members secretly lean over and attack first, and we must not be beaten passively as before. Also, people have been sent to guard the mountain paths?" After slightly retracting their eyes, Fang Bainian glanced at the generals around him and said.

These people are the only loyal and righteous people left in the Wu army. They all looked serious and clasped their fists. Then, a thin officer took the initiative to say: "General, let me hand over this first battle to the humble one. I will lead the fast ship to attack along the river and I will definitely be caught off guard!"

"Okay, Deng Yuan feels that you have this idea, I will not refuse. But you must remember that you must not get too close to you recklessly, and you must not lead your army to ashore. Your purpose is only to harass you, use more rockets, and kill the enemy as your main purpose."

"The last general will obey the order!" Deng Yuanjue was happy and hurriedly clasped his fists to respond. Some of the other generals also had some envy. These were Fang La's confidants who had previously guarded his hometown in Muzhou. They had not really experienced a series of wars such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, so they were still a little excited, and they also wanted to turn the tide with one breath in their hearts.

But just when they made up their plans and wanted to send someone to attack the Song army camp opposite when it was dark, a sudden burst of horn sounded from the Song army formation, followed by a loud drum sound. At the camp gate, warships had already flowed into the water and rushed to the Wu army's water camp against the current.

This time it was indeed beyond the expectations of the Wu army. Who would have thought that the Song army had just arrived in front of Wulong Ridge and had not even rested for a day or two before they even launched an attack.

"Hurry up, order the navy to come forward to intercept it, so they can't get the power!" Fang Bainian felt panicked when he saw this and quickly ordered loudly.

Deng Yuanjue did not delay any delay and rushed down from Guancheng quickly, shouting and ordering his naval forces to prepare for war quickly. For a moment, there were gongs and drums in Guancheng, and roars were heard. Everyone was mobilizing quickly to join the Wu army sailors who were already cruising on the river to block the Song army's water attack.

This is a head-on confrontation with almost no tricks to compete with the strength of the water battle between the two sides. The Song and Wu armies all came out with warships, and on the rolling Yangtze River, a ship collision started and a close fight between death. After the battle lasted less than half an hour, the outcome was decided - the Song army showed a one-sided overwhelming advantage in the water battle, killing the Wu army to defeat the army. They either were killed and captured or dived to escape. Some ships also saw the opportunity quickly and leaned back to the shore in time. As the Song army continued to pursue, they did not even dare to defend the water camp and hurriedly fled back to the Wulongling Pass city behind...

In fact, if it was just an ordinary water battle, although the Song army relied on San Ruan and other generals who were proficient in water battles, they were indeed superior to the Wu army, but they were not yet able to form a crushing enemy troops in a short period of time. However, when the Song army showed off weapons that were much stronger than the Wu army, they had no way to resist.

First, there were crossbows. The Song army had surpassed all the enemies in the world in the crossbow. The reason why they were able to tie the Liao Xixia for a hundred years was because they had crossbows that were far beyond the ordinary range, especially the powerful weapon of the Divine Arm Bow, which could increase the long-range strike of individual soldiers to a limit.

This time Zhang Shuye and his friends arrived, they brought a group of divine arm bows that were not available in the Jiangnan official army. Now, these divine arm bows have become the good arm help Sun Tu used to destroy the water battle.

Of course, it is still impossible to truly determine the victory in half an hour by relying on the crossbow. The real key is the Bonnie Bullet. At this time, Sun Tu didn't need to hide it anymore. At the moment of the first battle, the soldiers of the navy rushed hundreds of Bonnie Bullets into the enemy warships within the attack range as he told him, as if they were not allowed to pay.

This caused too much damage to the Wu army warships. The sound of explosion was not something that these Wu army soldiers could bear now, and it was completely beyond their psychological construction. Even when the things containing iron nails and other killing weapons exploded in the crowd on the ship, the soldiers were still standing stupidly on the spot without dodging.

As a result, the ship caught fire and the people on the ship screamed. The Wu army's ships lost their power of resistance, and they all walked around the river like a group of headless flies. Then they fled in scattered and completely suppressed and chased by the Song army. In other words, the Song army's combat speed was not as fast as the enemy, otherwise this battle would have been annihilated all the Wu army's navy on the Yangtze River.

But even if some enemy ships were released, the result of this battle was already destined. The Wu Army Water Village, which had a certain amount of defense, was completely out of order because it was hit by its own panicked ships and was killed by the Song army warships and lost.

When everyone in Guancheng saw this scene, everyone's faces were not only unbelievable, but also frightened. After several months, the combat power of the Song army seemed to be stronger than when they were in Hangzhou before, which made the Wu army soldiers feel frightened. Even those who were full of confidence and wanted to turn the tide, swallowed a little hard, and didn't know what to say.

In fact, if the Wu army was decisive enough at this time, they sent a guardian army to rush out in time and took advantage of the fact that the Song army had not yet established a stable foothold to give a head-on attack, even if they could not severely damage the enemy troops who had just arrived, they could still regain this key water camp and then consolidate the defense to the death, then the danger of the Yangtze River would still be under their control.

But after seeing the disastrous defeat of the navy in front, most of the soldiers were already timid. Even Fang Bainian, who was the head coach, did not dare to risk sending people to fight again. He only sent a small number of troops to support him. In the end, he could only watch the Song army opposite the river send reinforcements to the water camp and guard it little by little, thus giving up the last natural barrier in front of the Wulongling Pass.

When the sky was about to dark, a Song army of about 30,000 had already appeared around the water camp, which was only ten miles away from Guancheng, forming a confrontation. Even Sun Tu's big flag was already standing there steadily, which meant that the Song army commander had also crossed the river.

A sudden uneasy feeling spread: "How could this be so... The Song army did not stop and took down our water camp in one go... What should we do next?" All the soldiers felt a little confused, and many people's eyes fell on Fang Bainian, looking at him as if he was thinking.

After a change in his face, Fang Bainian finally gritted his teeth and gave his own opinion: "Defend to the death. Our Wulong Ridge is high and steep enough, and the Song army cannot break it at all. As long as we block their offensives from a high position and cause more damage, they will be unsustainable and finally retreat!" At this time, the only thing he could think of was this countermeasure.

The subsequent war seemed to have developed as he expected. After the next day, the Song army did send troops to try to attack the Wulongling Pass, but in front of the powerful pass that was straight into the sky, tens of thousands of troops seemed so small. Every wave of their offensive was steadily blocked by the defenders. Moreover, with the geographical advantage here, they also caused considerable damage to the Song army. In just three days, nearly two or three thousand casualties were already outside, but the enemy could not even get on the wall.

"Okay, if you want to defend yourself like this, the final victory will definitely belong to us!" After repelling the Song army's offensive again, looking at the Song army's corpses falling down below and the enemy who retreated in embarrassment, Fang Bai'an's confidence returned, loudly encouraging the morale of the army, and shouting: "With my Wulong Ridge here, Muzhou in the rear will be as stable as Mount Tai. Unless the Song army can really grow wings and fly over our heads like birds, I Wulong Ridge will be the starting point for their failure!"

"We will win! We will win! We will win!" The soldiers of the Wu army shouted loudly, and their morale returned to their peak. But they did not notice that some changes were happening in the Song army camp where the entire army had already crossed the river, and some things were slowly rising into the air.
