Lord of the House

Time continues to stay at twenty-one.

Under the setting sun, the Huangpi City, which had been contested for many times by the two sides, did not collapse as a whole, but it looked extra dilapidated, with blood-soaked bleak color everywhere and dazzling eyes smashed by Huaidong's heavy-duty stone-throwing crossbow. branch marks.

Although the news of the fiasco of Baihetan has not yet come out, the news that Luo Xianyi led his troops to aid Mount Li and attacked the main force of the Chaishan ambush at Luodian Zhangjiawan, 70 miles east of Suizhou this morning, had already spread at dusk. Enter Huangpi City.

Lishan and Luodian are located less than two hundred miles north of Huangpi, with Xiaochang County in the middle.

Xiaochang City is located between two magnificent mountain systems, Dahong Mountain and Shuangfeng Mountain.

In Ye Ji Luorong's plan, once the defense line in eastern Hubei could not be supported, the troops and horses could be scattered to retreat to Xiaochang and Shicheng to form a second line of defense against the Huaidong army entering the hinterland of Jingxiang. Therefore, Luo Xiancheng stationed in Xiaochang. Nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses.

However, due to the lack of sufficient material support, the backup lines of Shicheng and Xiaochang are far from being strong enough to support the periphery of Xusi as Huaidong operates Shanyang, Siyang, Sikou, and Yuntiguan.

Xiaochang City is even less than seventy miles away from Lishan City.

On the night of the 19th, Sun Zhuang led his troops from Lishan City to Fancheng, and news reached Xiaochang. The defender of Xiaochang did not raise enough vigilance. Although he sent a trooper to contact Suizhou overnight on the 20th, it was too late.

The reconnaissance cavalry returned before noon and brought back the news of Luo Xianyi’s defeat at Luodian. Only then did the Xiaochang defender know that Chaishan and Lishan had both surrendered. Five thousand soldiers and horses were only a small part of the Chaishan ambush.

The relatively accurate news about the ambush in Chaishan was only sent by the Xiaochang general at noon to report Fengshan, Tiemen, Shicheng and Huangpi, and Huangpi got the exact news at dusk.

Although the Huangpi defenders did not collapse immediately, Sun Jichang stood at the front of the city, watching the Huaidong Army outside Huangpi City, slowly rushing in like a tide in the sunset, and unusually firm, and the fear in his heart also poured out wave after wave. , I can't press it no matter what...

Sun Jichang was not an idiot. He knew that the Huaidong Army had chosen this opportunity to launch a general attack, which was to defeat their more than 110,000 troops on the Baitahe, Huangpi, and Xiongjiagang lines tonight in one fell swoop. The night will aggravate the collapse and confusion of the defenders. In the collapsed retreat, they will not be able to form an orderly interception force, which will help the Huaidong Army to use the night cover to intersperse in the depths. In the early morning of tomorrow, if they go to the north and intersperse forty miles and cross into the Xiaonan front line, then the last resistance they may have on the west wing of the Eastern Hubei defense line will be completely strangled and shattered.

If they want to fight for a chance of survival and a chance to retreat to Shicheng, they must withstand this storm of the Huaidong Army. After all, with Meng Anchan leading 20,000 cavalry, it was impossible for the Huaidong Army to pursue unscrupulously.

However, in the dark, Meng Anchan's cavalry would be involved in chaos for the retreating troops and horses. A slight error in judgment may cause the Huaidong Army to be divided and surrounded, thus completely losing the initiative on the battlefield.

The night combat capability of the Huaidong Army was fully demonstrated as early as during the Yannan battles...

If you want to survive, you must hold on to the Huaidong Army's offensive that may last until the early morning of tomorrow.

But is this possible?

Sun Jichang couldn't contain the fear in his heart, and the faces of the surrounding generals were ashes.

When the news of the fall of Fancheng came, the military's heart was shaken, but after all, he was still looking forward to good news.

The news of Huaidong's ambush in Chaishan and cutting off the retreat route was sent by the defender of Xiaochang, and the messenger rushed to the camp and broke down as if he was breaking out the earth-shattering news.

Although the messenger asked Shewenzhuang to behead his head in the name of disturbing the military's heart, such a serious and bad news could not be concealed even without the Xiaochang messenger shouting it out in public. Now not only are the generals and generals of the entire army known, but even among ordinary soldiers, the fear brought by this news is spreading like a plague.

When the overall battle situation did not collapse, the generals and soldiers had the will to fight and did not dare to retreat easily. In addition to the expectation of victory, it was also because of the severe military law that followed everyone. Whoever retreats without obeying the military order will never recognize the head of the machete of the military team.

And now the whole battle situation is about to collapse, even if Ye Jiluorong can escape is unknown, who the **** still thinks about military law like a mountain?

The psychology of the generals on the defense line is extremely fragile at this time. Maybe ordinary soldiers are blind, but the middle and lower-level generals can already understand how serious and desperate the consequences of cutting off tens of thousands of Huaidong elites from the back road will be— - If one person can't hold it, even one of the pawns can't hold it, and the first retreat of the troops may cause the collapse of the entire line of defense!

There is one more, even if it lasts until tomorrow, who can be sure that Meng Anchan is really willing to lead the cavalry to the army?

What they have to face is nothing else, but the Huaidong elites with a total of more than 100,000 attacked like tigers and wolves. There are more than 30,000 Chizhou troops on the eastern front. Meng Anchan must kill all his troops in Shacheng. Only with the awakening of his mind was it possible to block the iron flow of the Huaidong Army a little, and buy two to three days for the other troops to withdraw to Shicheng.

Is Meng Anchan such a person? Will Zhong Rong escape first in Tiemen Mountain? Will Yang Xiong hold on to the end in Hanjin? Will Ma Dekui bring some seeds? Has the old fox in Shewenzhuang already arranged a retreat for him?

At this moment, in Sun Jichang's mind, he can't get rid of it: run away, it will be too late if you don't run away...

*********************

The sunset is still hanging above the treetops, and there is still an hour before it gets dark. From Zhaohu Mountain to the front base of the battle, nearly 100,000 generals are deployed. to the edge of the ocean.

Although Zuo Chengmu didn't know whether Hu Wenmu was holding on in Jingzhou, he had already fully understood that Jingzhou was the bait to lure Yanhu into the depths, but at this time he was standing on Zhaohu Mountain, watching the Huaidong Army go like a stream of iron. The enemy army rushed through the Baitahe-Huangpi-Xiongjiagang defense line, and it was deeply shocked and bloody: This is the iron army that is qualified to sweep the world.

Only the deeper you understand the military affairs, the more you will be confused and shocked by the absolute power displayed by the torrent of the iron army in front of you.

It's not that Lin Bie didn't have the ability to tear apart the enemy's defense line before this, but if he waited until the enemy was most vulnerable to save this fatal blow, the enemy would not even have a chance to struggle.

The tactics of luring the enemy into the deep, hiding the sky and crossing the sea, and crossing the Chencang secretly, all called Lin Fu to the extreme. Who in the world can match him? Zuo Chengmu also burst into tears when he thought that his homeland in the Central Plains could be seen again in this life.

Although Zuo Chengmu has a sincere heart, he has also cultivated a heart of stone. He understands that it is helpless to use Jingzhou as a bait compared to the great cause of expelling Hulu and recovering the Central Plains. If it weren't for this plan, the war would be delayed, and it is still unknown how many thousands of people would have lost their lives in the chaos of war.

At this moment, Zuo Chengmu was deeply impressed by the military power displayed by Huaidong.

Those who can create and master this powerful military force are undoubtedly the few heroes who have been on their fingers throughout the ages. In comparison, the incompetent descendants of the Yuan family look funny and ridiculous...

Standing beside Zuo Chengmu, Fu Qinghe was not very surprised by Zuo Chengmu's tears at this time. For a sincere minister like Zuo Chengmu, you can kill him, but don't think that you can convince him with simple intrigues and tricks. The only thing that can break his heart is the heroic cause of recovering rivers and mountains and rebuilding the empire.

Watching the 100,000 Iron Army launch the final general attack on the enemy's defense line, Fu Qinghe, Song Fu, Gao Zongting, Ao Canghai and others couldn't contain their excitement: the recovery of Jingxiang is the first step, but taking this step will only It means that Huaidong has completely mastered the initiative in the North-South war situation, and it will be a matter of time to recover the Central Plains.

The general trend has come to an end, and any Xiaoxiao that stands in the way of this great cause will sooner or later be smashed to pieces by the ruthless slaughter.

****************

"The tigers invaded the south, the mountains and rivers are in chaos, how many homelands have become barren tombs, how many wives have been scattered, how many bones have been left in the wilderness, and how many rivers and mountains have been shattered and turned white," Lin Bie stood on the high platform of the point general, leaning on the railing, facing the front of the platform. The generals shouted loudly, "And how many people are willing to be the lackeys in front of the Hulu horses, killing their compatriots? The generals and generals of Xiaoli know that the hatred of the country and the family will only be paid today, and the generals and soldiers will need to work hard to kill the enemy bandits. …”

Lin Bie thumped the horizontal bar again with his hands, and repeated word by word: "The hatred of the country and the family can only be paid today, and the generals and soldiers need to work hard to kill the enemy bandits!"

"The hatred of the country and the family can only be paid today, and the generals and soldiers need to work hard to kill the enemy bandits..." It was like a wave of voices, which quickly spread from Zhaohu Mountain to the Baita River, Changxuanling and other front-line troops.

"Beat the drums, attack." Lin Fu waved his hand and issued the general attack order.

Before the commanding stage, dozens of drums of war drums sounded immediately upon hearing the order. The drumming generals and soldiers were all naked and topless. It was necessary to use all the strength of the whole body to make the generals come out and beat the war drums like spring thunder and roll on the ground.

Dozens of personal guard cavalry carried the scarlet battle flag on their shoulders, and rushed to the various armies that had entered the battlefield to convey the military order for the general attack.

At this moment, Chen Zhuo couldn't help his dry mouth. He spit out a mouthful of saliva in his hands to moisten his palms. When his personal guards rode on horses, they waved the flag and shouted hoarsely: "I pass the order of the privy envoy. The troops attack immediately and kill the enemy! The hatred of the country and the family will only be paid today, and the generals and soldiers need to work hard to kill the enemy bandits!"

"Attack!" Chen Zhu pulled out the saber at his waist, swung it forward, and gave the order to attack.

****************

The master of Changxuanling will be Zhang Gou.

The main front of Huangpi City will be Yu Wencheng.

The main character on the front of the Baita River will be Chen Zhu.

Baita River is located between Huangpi and Hanjin. As long as it cuts into the defense line, most of the Huangpi enemy can be cut off on the right flank, preventing them from escaping to Hanshui. It is also the fastest advancing position to take Shicheng.

In front of the Baita River line of defense, Chen Zhu was the main force in the first wave of the attack. In addition, Zhao Hu led the Jiangning forbidden battalion and the water battalion with 20,000 soldiers and horses to line up behind.

Waiting for Chen Zhu's troops to tear apart the Baita River defense line, Zhao Hu led his troops to attack in depth.

Zhang Jiheng's troops and Zhou Pu's troops led the first brigade of the Cavalry Battalion to stay in Zhaohu Lake as a strategic reserve.

Only by tearing the enemy troops on the east bank of the Han River to pieces at the fastest speed, would Lin Bie lead the main force of the Huaidong Army in eastern Hubei to have a chance to chase and wipe out the Yanhu soldiers and horses on the west bank of the Han River. The Yanhu soldiers and horses on the west bank of the Han River were the real main force of the western front, and they were also the culprits who slaughtered and owed monstrous blood debts in the Central Plains.

When Luo Wenhu was overwhelmed with emotion over 30 bed crossbows made of fine iron, he didn't know that he saw that there were 600 bed crossbows made of fine iron after the Huaidong Army's formation in front of the Baita River unfolded. How do you feel when the mules and horses are pulled into the front line and into the open space in front of the Baita River? And what kind of mood would the enemy army in the grid camp behind the Baita River line of defense see that these 600 bed crossbows made of fine iron shone with a dazzling light under the setting sun?

The base frame of the crossbow is cast with fine iron, which has a stronger structure and higher stability and accuracy in shooting the crossbow. Trapped by mules and horses, the wheels made of fine iron can follow the infantry to pursue the enemy on a forced march in the wild. When the enemy counterattacks, the bed crossbow does not need to be withdrawn, and can form an obstacle zone in front of the formation to block the enemy counterattack. Even if the crossbow body is damaged in the war, as long as there are accessories, it is easy and fast to repair, and it can be easily transformed into Small trucks, hauling wounded and supplies.

There are so many advantages to cast iron crossbow, the only disadvantage is that it consumes an amazing amount of refined iron. A bed crossbow foundation weighs more than 400 catties, and 600 fine iron bed crossbows will consume 200,000 to 300,000 catties of fine iron. Not to mention the difficulty of the overall casting, 2000000000000000000000000000000000000000030000000000000000000 of fine iron is the total output of Jiangning Ministry of Industry Iron Works in one year before the war.

The sound of the twisted strings sounded, as dense as the drizzle after spring.

The 600 bed crossbows were staggered in two rows and concentrated on a narrow front of less than 400 paces. The Huaidong Army had never put so many bed crossbows into a single local battlefield so intensively before.

Six hundred crossbow heads made of fine iron, glowing with deadly light, were loaded into the crossbow slot.

The defenders in the defense line seemed to smell the deadly threat, and they intended to make a final struggle. Seeing the military commander on the flank of the crossbow array waving the flag in his hand, the sound of 600 giant crossbows breaking through the air almost tore the eardrums for a while, and the cold wind in the whistling was filled with the sharp thorns of howling ghosts and wolves. The barracks wall closed off.

The guards in front of the fence watched the giant crossbow break through the air, as if a huge dark cloud was covering it, but they all forgot to turn around and escape, watching their bodies pierce the giant crossbow. The power of the giant crossbow shot through the air was so great that dozens or hundreds of giant crossbows shot at the same time, and a section of the grid wall collapsed.

The section of the fence that covered the crossbow arrows, and the nearly 200 guards on it and behind the fence, waiting to be replaced by the fence, were all destroyed in the blink of an eye.

Some people did not die immediately, or their shoulders, thighs, or chest and abdomen screamed and pierced with giant crossbows, or the whole person twitched and struggled against the nail wall. The desperate howl impacted the hearts of the surrounding defenders, intensifying the fear in their hearts. ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Those defenders who were about to send back against the Huaidong Army's crossbow formation were even more frightened, and looked at the general behind him in panic, hoping that he could recover and lead everyone to escape the dead zone in front of them.

The bed crossbow was quickly re-wound and loaded with arrows, forming a second attack on the front line of the Baita River. This attack was designed to block the long trench suspension bridge where the defenders wanted to come out of the gate camp to counterattack.

There were more than 1,000 defenders who were crowded in front of the moat bridge and prepared to attack in front of the suspension bridge. When they were covered with crossbow arrows, it seemed like a big horn would collapse. Nearly 400 people were directly nailed to the open space behind the suspension bridge. What's more, three or four people pierced a crossbow arrow at the same time, such a brutal fight, suddenly made the rest collapsed, completely ignoring the suppression of the military team and fled back to avoid the dead zone that was blocked by the crossbow arrow.

There were more than one channel for the enemy's counterattack, but the two groups of enemy troops who crossed the Baita River and launched a counterattack against the Huaidong army looked so weak and so pitiful.

Chen Zhu stood on the nest car watching the entire battlefield, ignoring the enemy troops who came out of the gate to counterattack. In the front line, only the brigade general Li Baidao sent armored soldiers to intercept them and resolutely defeated them.

Chen Zhu wanted to command the 20,000 Huaidong elites that were deployed in front of the Baita River as a whole to advance in an orderly and gentle manner. Use bed crossbows and scorpion crossbows to suppress the guards on the grid wall on the other side of the river, and use iron armored vehicles to cover your bowmen and shoot arrows in a denser and wider range before approaching the Baita River. camp. Push dozens of moat bridge cars down the Baita River to form a passage directly approaching the gate wall, and then follow up with the cave house car and the rushing car to break the gate wall, or directly drive the folding ladder car directly from the Baita River. The south bank is built to the north bank wall, forming a gap for the troops to directly attack the north bank of the Baita River. With a firm and unshakable determination, the front line of defense of the Baita River is torn apart... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
