Lord of the House

(Second, ask for a red ticket!)

Su Tingzhan was delighted with the red armor, like the scorching sun, surrounded by guards, he entered and exited along the south bank of the Yunyan River.

Lin Bian stood on the garrison and looked at it, pointed at Su Tingzhan in red armor, and said to Zhou Pu: "That person should be Su Tingzhan, a butcher and a scholar, and she is the most important person in the East China Sea. Leave him in charge of the Northern Front..."

"Let him withdraw to the Hecheng Fortress, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take back Hecheng suddenly. Do you want to send someone to intercept it?"

"I'm afraid it's too late," Lin Fu shook his head and said, "Don't think about eating into a fat man in one bite. You can wipe out most of Cheng Yiqun and Shu Qingqiu's clan. Even if you complete the task, you will be able to relieve the hatred of the 2,000 soldiers and civilians on Xisha Island for being slaughtered."

The garrison was only five miles away from the Hecheng Army Fortress, and the Kou Bing's beach position was closer to the Hecheng Division. There were dozens of guards by Su Tingzhan's side, so it was not so easy to intercept. The goal of this battle was not the Hecheng army fortress, and Lin Fu did not expect to be able to defeat the Kou soldiers who invaded Hecheng in one fell swoop.

"The bandits on the enemy ship can reinforce the river beach positions at any time, and the flanks are strong. Our army can only attack them from the front. It is extremely difficult and the casualties will not be small. You accompany me to supervise the battle. To win the victory, the morale cannot be weakened." Lin Fu Said, no longer stay on the garrison to watch the situation and go to the soldiers.

The west garrison of Hecheng is not big enough to accommodate too many garrisoned troops. The Jiangdong Zuo Army was fighting in a civil war in Chongzhou, and it was much more convenient to obtain supplies than the Kou soldiers. Besides, the garrison camps also had material accumulations. Although the camp was hastily expanded by more than two times one day and one night, it was more convenient than the Kou soldiers in the river beach formation. The walls built were much stronger.

On the east side of the garrison and the south camp were the starting positions. The Chongzhou battalion had just been replaced and rested, and the Fengli battalion was on the top, where Ning Zechen organized the third wave of offensive. In addition to the Fengli Infantry Camp, there are still nearly 500 defeated soldiers and more than 600 people with good morale. Ning Zechen organized a group of people from among them to contain the west wing of the pirates and prevent the pirates. The formation attacked from the west flank, threatening to directly attack the formation of military pawns at the river beach position.

Lin Bie came down from the garrison, and the soldiers who were about to go into battle to kill the enemy were all in high spirits, completely unafraid of the difficulty of attacking the enemy line from the front, and even the soldiers who were beaten back by the first two draws felt guilty for not taking down the position in one go, and bowed their heads and dared not meet. Look at Lin Bound's inspection.

"The bones of this gang of bandits are very hard and hard to gnaw - if the enemy is soft-faced who is easy to bully, it will not reflect the fighting strength of the Jiangdong Zuo Army! I have been watching you attack and attack again, you fight Very good. Temporary retreat is nothing, we swung our fists out, did not knock down the enemy all at once, and retracted our fists to make the next attack more powerful and fierce. You have nothing to be ashamed of, you are all A good man of Jiangdong Zuojun, hold your chest up..." Lin Fu walked to the first two soldiers who were repelled, boosting their morale and not letting a momentary setback affect their morale.

"This group of bandits belonged to our Chongcheng Buying. I ask that we continue to kill them. The brothers from Fengli's camp have just come over and have walked all night. They haven't had a good rest yet, so they can't make it hard!" Chongzhou Buying One of the commanders of the battalion stood up and volunteered to fight, not wanting to be replaced, and watching Fengli Bu battalion attack the enemy line, they were repelled twice. The brothers in the camp should bow their heads in front of them?

"Ma Sanwa, I remember you. You were very brave in battle, and you were a good soldier. I heard that you forced the old lady to marry a widow. Jun, can give birth to a baby, warm the quilt, and be considerate, you are fighting in front, she will help you organize the house smoothly, you don't need to worry about it, what's wrong?" Lin Fuxiao looked and walked to the front This one is a long-suffering pawn. Speaking of homely, it made the people around him laugh and said, "As for combat, people have two fists, and they have to take turns to swing them out in a fight, and they can also strike the enemy more effectively—so now It's your turn to rest, you've had enough rest, and I want you to fight again, some of you will fight today's battles!"

Encouraged here, Lin Fu went to cheer up the soldiers of Fengli Camp who set out to attack the enemy. He didn't expect to break through the enemy line from the front, so he took turns to send the soldiers to the top to maintain the offensive against the enemy line on the riverbank, and possibly avoid too much damage. casualties.

Then he went to boost the morale of Minyong and Hecheng's defeated troops. In order to fully utilize the force and avoid forming a tired army, Lin Shui used Minyong and the Hecheng collapsed troops gathered by Wang Chengfu to assist the frontal attack. to contain the enemy's flanks.

Although the Yanding under the jurisdiction of the Salt and Iron Division was outnumbered by war training, the morale was still good because of the lack of money and salaries in normal times.

For the soldiers at the lowest level, the texture is pure and simple, and they have a simple mind of "eating the emperor's grain to protect the territory". If it weren't for the officials and generals who are greedy and fear death and abandon the city to flee first, it would not be so simple for the East China Sea bandit to capture the Hecheng military fortress— - This is also the main reason why a weak army can usually be reborn as long as it solves the problems of the officer corps and rations since ancient times.

Wang Chengfu gathered the defeated troops, about 500 people, and Lin Fu seized a few captain-level battalion officers and sent them to Chongzhou to be imprisoned in the future, but he made the eight commanders stay behind to pay tribute to their crimes and serve as assistants. The soldiers participated in the war and were mainly used to contain the flanks of the enemy formation.

These defeated soldiers were forcibly gathered. During the gathering process, there were even conflicts. The difference in morale was conceivable. These defeated soldiers were mixed into Min Yong, and they were timid at first, but Jiangdong Zuo Army played a strong role in the frontal assault. Although Min Yong lacked training, the courage to fight was not even weaker than Jiangdong. The soldiers of the left army even stimulated the collapsed troops of Hecheng, who were mixed in the battle. After two times, they also realized that it was not too dangerous to contain the enemy's flank. There are some patterns.

Wang Chengfu watched the Jiangdong Zuo Army fight in Dayangshan Island. It was purely an elite army attacking and capturing the fortress. Even if he commanded the operation, he was presided over by the generals below. Wang Chengfu did not see that Lin Fu had the opportunity to directly show his military talents. Shi has a little bit of feelings: a successful general, the most important thing is to have the charisma that can successfully make his soldiers willing to die for it. There is no doubt that Lin Fu has such a trait, which cannot be replaced by other excellent generals. The root cause of his position in the Jiangdong Left Army.

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

After Su Tingzhan left, Cheng Yiqun was still worried about the safety of the river beach position.

If he could not stand on the river beach, he would not be able to achieve the goal of containing the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army's northern line at the west garrison of Hecheng. Cheng Yiqun took two hundred personal guards ashore to strengthen the defense of the river beach position, and he personally stood at the height of the river embankment to supervise the battle.

Cheng Yiqun was also surprised when he saw the sudden fire of wolf smoke in the garrison. He was worried that Lin Bie would make a move first. After the battle of King Qin of Yannan, Lin Fu was well-known for his scheming. At the same time, Cheng Yiqun also suspected that the sudden release of wolf smoke at the garrison might itself be a tactic of suspected soldiers, which made them suspect that they would voluntarily give up the river beach position and withdraw to the Hecheng army fortress.

In any case, Cheng Yiqun being the leader of the Taihu pirates is by no means easy to follow, and it is not to be frightened. Even after the boat division of the Jiangdong Zuo Army raided Hecheng, the sky was clear and cloudy, and even if no scouts were sent, the observation range would be as far as ten or twenty miles, and the distance from the Hecheng fortress was only four or five miles away. It was too late to withdraw. Although Cheng Yiqun hesitated in his heart, he was not particularly worried.

Until noon, there was no movement outside. Even though the Jiangdong Zuo Army had organized seven offensives without interruption, Cheng Yiqun also confirmed that Chen Qing's wolf smoke was Lin Fu's suspicious plan, causing them to lose more than 100 people.

At noon, the offensive of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, which was slowing down, suddenly became fierce again. Not only did the Jiangdong Zuo Army advance a hundred or ten paces eastward, but Cheng Yiqun also saw that the Jiangdong Zuo Army Cavalry Battalion, which had not been dispatched all morning, also entered the front. position. From the deployment point of view, the cavalry battalion is likely to directly attack the west flank of the river beach, and it will invest more than 200 cavalry at one time, and there are also four catapults assembled on the advancing formation of the Jiangdong Left Army, which is very far from the river bank. It is close, and considering the distance, it can directly hit the ship formation on the west side.

In the seven uninterrupted offensives of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, the west side of the wall of the river beach position almost completely collapsed. There were some obstacles, but they were all low and could not stop the cavalry battalion from rushing past. There is a direct threat to the warships inside, and Cheng Yiqun secretly said that the Jiangdong Zuo Army should be the last to exert force at this time.

Cheng Yi County sent someone to send an order to Shu Qingqiu, asking Shu Qingqiu to continue to disperse the ship formation on the west side to the west and move closer to the south bank. In addition to directly attacking the trebuchet positions of the Jiangdong Zuo Army and preventing the Jiangdong Zuo Army's trebuchets from functioning, they also asked him to continue. Send people directly to the south bank, and directly form a flank position with the manpower on the west slipway to prevent the cavalry of the Jiangdong Left Army from attacking the flank of the main position of the river beach from the west side.

After waiting for a while, Cheng Yiqun could not see any movement in the ship formation on the west side. Neither did he send the ship west to attack the trebuchets placed by the Jiangdong Left Army against the river bank, nor did he send troops ashore to strengthen the flank position.

Cheng Yiqun scolded Shu Qingqiu secretly, and seeing that the Jiangdong Zuo Army would take a while to launch the offensive, he hurried to the west and shouted at Shu Qingqiu at the bow, "General Shu, what's the matter with you? I asked you to drive the boat westward, attack the enemy's catapults, and send troops ashore to strengthen the flank protection. Why did you not make a move for a moment? The next attack of the Jiangdong Zuo Army will be very fierce, and you need to block the western flank to intercept it. , be sure to protect the flank of the beach from attack..."

Shu Qingqiu was sweating profusely, and shouted, "Somehow, the water in this river has suddenly become shallow, and the boat can't move because of the mud on the bottom!"

"How is that possible!" Cheng Yiqun was terrified. His biggest reliance was to rely on the boat formations that were assembled in two places and could come and go freely to protect the flanks of the river beach position from attack, and to support the river beach position at any time, so he was not afraid to resist Jiangdong Zuo head-on. The attack of the army wave after wave, he never imagined that the boat in the middle of the river would suddenly stop moving.

"Look at the river bank!" Shu Qingqiu shouted.

"..." Cheng Yiqun looked down at the inside of the river embankment. The water marks were clearly visible. The water level of the Canal Salt River dropped by at least three feet throughout the morning. The water level of the Canal Salt River was originally shallow and dropped three feet abruptly. Except for the light boat, it was slightly larger. Some troop-carrying warships, even in the center of the river, are directly on the silt at the bottom of the river, unable to move, not to mention shore support.

At this moment, Cheng Yiqun felt dizzy, his throat was sweet, and he almost spit out blood: "Lin Fu, this beast is closing the river upstream at night! The uninterrupted dispatch of troops to attack from the front in the morning is to make us not pay attention to the changes in the river! "

At this moment, the catapults in the Taitung position started rattling, and several rounded stone bullets landed in the shallow water, causing a splash of water. This is just a stone bullet for calibrating the direction and distance. It is operated by experienced soldiers. After two or three calls, the shot will become more and more accurate. Shu Qingqiu shouted from the bow: "Big shield, big shield, carry the big shield, no It's blocked by the big shield, go to the advanced cabin..."

Cheng Yiqun did not dare to stay at the west embankment, and hurriedly retreated to the beach position.

Without the boat formation to cover the flank, the river beach position is extremely weak. At this moment, Cheng Yiqun also understands that he has fallen into a dead place. He will lead the river beach troops to retreat voluntarily. A blow would inevitably throw away the seventy or eighty ships and seventeen or eight hundred men and horses that were stuck in the river mud and couldn’t move—this was almost half of his family’s wealth, so how could he be willing to do so?

Su Tingzhan had only 800 soldiers and horses in Hecheng Military Fortress. Although it was separated by four or five miles, he could not get any manpower to support him in a short period of time. He must be able to support the troops from the north. This battle is difficult to fight. !

The catapult was fixed on the river bank, and the boat was stuck on the bottom of the river bed, and both sides were fixed. Several waves of stone bullets hit more and more accurately, but what was fired next was not a stone bullet, but a clay pot filled with kerosene. ...

Water battles are the heaviest fire prevention, but a fleet consisting mainly of wooden boats, no matter how strong the fire prevention ability is, can't dodge it, and it can't stand being doused with kerosene and then shooting with rockets. Smelling the smell of kerosene, several cavalry archers galloped close, holding rockets in their hands, and when they got close to an arrow, they threw rockets into the air, watching the rockets come, and the clay pots filled with kerosene kept coming. When it was thrown, Shu Qingqiu's heart was shattered, and the only plan now was to abandon the ship and land on the shore, join Cheng Yiqun, or stick to the river beach position, or retreat to the east and retreat to the Hecheng army...

At this time, Shu Qingqiu forgot that although the nearest boat was twenty or thirty paces away from the shore, the Yanyan River had been in disrepair for a century, and the bottom of the river had accumulated so much silt. Even if the pallets were laid on the bottom of the river with a wooden path, all boats and horses rushed to get off the boat, how many people could escape in a short time? More people were pushed down by crowds, fell into the mud, no one helped them, and they were unable to move at all.

At this time, the eighth offensive of the Jiangdong Left Army was launched rapidly and fiercely. In addition to the frontal armored soldiers, all the cavalry battalions were also dispatched. One team monitored the east flank, and the other team suddenly rushed into my QT room from the west flank. Open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
