Lord of the House

(The first update, the climax of this wave will continue for some time, please vote for red!)

The closure of the river was completed in Jiuhua, and it was confirmed that the water from the upper reaches of the Yunyan River was channeled into the Xishan River. Ge Siyu followed Cao Ziang on horseback and rushed to Hecheng along the north bank of the Yunyan River. Along the way, he could clearly feel that the river was dropping inch by inch. .

They built a dam in Jiuhua to close the river, so they would pay attention to the changes in the water level. For the generals of the enemy and us who were in the middle of fierce fighting and did not know in advance, as long as the riverbed was not exposed, and the two sides were covered by reeds, who would Notice how the river water has inadvertently dropped two or three feet?

However, the drop in the water level of two or three feet was fatal to the pirate ship that had barely entered the Salt River.

The original plan for the dredging of the Yunyan River was from Jiuhua to Hecheng. The construction of a dam in Jiuhua was a prerequisite for the dredging work, and preparations were being made before.

Xishan River and Yunyan River have been connected, and damming and intercepting water can lead to Xishan River, so as not to form flood embankment in the plain area. When Ge Siyu arrived in Chongzhou, he personally confirmed the suitable location for the dam construction, formulated a detailed dam construction plan, and even prepared several narrow boats for dam construction and river blocking. Some soil and rocks have also been accumulated on both sides of the strait.

Cao Zi'ang and Ge Siyu rushed to Jiuhua at night, and immediately mobilized the nearby military and civilians to build a dam overnight to block the river. Before dawn, there was only a gap of less than two feet wide left in the dam. Waiting for the west garrison stone of Hecheng to ignite the wolf smoke and send a message, the earth-rock ship parked on the west side of the gap of the dam was scuttled to block the gap and completely cut off the river.

Jiuhua is a hundred miles away from Hecheng. The left army in Jiangdong blocked the inner line of Chongzhou, and the military and civilian organizations were also tightly organized. It was impossible for the scouts of the East China Sea to sneak in and infiltrate so far to conduct reconnaissance overnight. Besides, who would have thought that Lin Fu would be able to do it overnight. Will a hundred-step-wide river be completely sealed off?

Ge Siyu followed Cao Zi'ang to the west garrison of Hecheng, and the boat formation on the west flank of the Kou soldiers covering the river beach formation was caught in a sea of ​​fire. Although the pirates on the boat mainly fled to the south bank and wanted to join the river beach position on the south bank so that they could retreat to the Hecheng army village together, there were also many pirates who panicked and fled to the north bank.

Cao Zi'ang took out his saber and said to the dozens of guards behind him, "It looks like we didn't fall behind..." Zhou Quan, who left seven or eight guards to guard Ge Siyu, led the others to charge directly towards the Kou soldiers who had climbed up the north embankment.

At this time, the Yunyan River was shallow and muddy. Those who escaped from the water had heavy armor, and most of them were trapped in the mud and could not break free. A few people were lucky to climb the river bank, but they were also exhausted, and almost discarded their armor in the river. Where can we resist the impact of Cao Zi'ang's troops?

As early as in Jiangning, Ge Siyu met Cao Ziang. At that time, Cao Ziang was Lizheng. He had some literati demeanor, and his conversation was very extraordinary. Si Yu's impression was that Cao Zi'ang was a scholar. When I went to Chongzhou this time, I saw that Cao Zi'ang did not lead the troops directly, but assisted Lin Fu in handling the army, which also deepened Ge Siyu's original impression of him.

Watching Cao Zi'ang riding his horse and swinging his sword, he took the lead, like a tiger descending the mountain, leading dozens of guards to repeatedly charge and kill the Kou soldiers on the north embankment. Yu surprise couldn't close his mouth, saying that Lin Fu was a rare talent with both civil and military skills. Who would have thought that Cao Zian, who was not visible in Jiangning, was also so strong?

Ge Siyu secretly said: Lin Su led the Jiangdong Zuo Army northward to Yannan to achieve such a brilliant record.

The contact battle at Beidi made Ge Siyu's blood boil, and he also wanted to take the guards that Cao Ziang left him to rush to kill the enemy, so scared that the guards were afraid of pulling his horse's head. This grandfather is even worried about riding a horse. Not to mention killing the enemy, if the horse is a little faster, he may fall off the horse. Besides, the adults attach great importance to this grandfather. How dare he make mistakes?

Ge Siyu could not follow his wishes, and could only sit on horseback and watch the battle.

The drum sounded like thunder on the south bank, and from a distance, it was Lin Fu who stood in front of the garrison and beat the drum to boost morale. Lin Fu was dressed in blue armor and a red cloak. The soldiers around him stood like bright lights, guiding Jiangdong. The left army fought bravely to kill the enemy.

The cavalry on the west side has already entered the river beach position. Except for one military soldier on the east side of the garrison, and a group of cavalry soldiers on the southeast side of the garrison as a reserve, ready to fight, the rest of the Jiangdong left army on the northern front includes Minyong and Shun. The collapsed troops from Hecheng were all overwhelmed, and they carried out a final crushing blow to the Kou soldiers' positions that had already begun to collapse...

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

The flanks of the Kou Bing beach position were completely relied on for cover by the boat formations assembled on the west side of the river. When the boat formations fell into the silt and could not move, they became fixed targets for catapults, and the other flanks were on the verge of collapse.

Clay pots filled with kerosene and rockets turned the boat formation into a sea of ​​fire on the shallow river. It was impossible for the pirates on board to completely withdraw to the shore. The impact of half of the Leopard Cavalry Battalion...

Cheng Yiqun saw the situation and knew that the situation was over. He could only retreat before the east wing fleet faced a direct attack and could cover its west wing. He might be able to escape back to the Hecheng army. He did not expect Su Tingzhan to lead the army at all. There are not many soldiers and horses who stay behind to come to the army to help.

Cheng Yiqun also did not care about contacting Shu Qingqiu and his son, let alone the boat formation trapped in the middle of the river, surrounded by guards and hastily retreated east. Although Cheng Yiqun kept the flag in the center of the formation, and the drums were still sounding, the Kou Bing near the center of the formation soon realized that the commander abandoned them and fled eastward in panic, and the entire river beach position collapsed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Shu Jiaqing was surrounded by guards and came ashore. He was covered in mud and water. The first wave of the Jiangdong Zuojun cavalry battalion had already run over and began to chase the Kou soldiers fleeing westward.

Shu Qingqiu didn't expect that the good situation would collapse in an instant. Cheng Yiqun had already led his troops to flee west, and they were already surrounded by heavy siege. He could see his second son Mingtang trapped in the mud, three or four steps away from the river bank, and the loyal guards were on the way. Desperately trying to pull him ashore, but there was no support on the shore, a group of Jiangdong left troops rushed ashore and shot random arrows. Shu Qingqiu watched Mingtang's face with an arrow and let out a heartbreaking scream... …

Shu Qingqiu was heartbroken and desperate, he danced his short halberd and rushed west with his guards, trying to get his second son ashore. Although Min Yong and Hecheng defeated the enemy, they were not as good as Shu Qingqiu's elite guards. , in three or two times, he will rush into chaos and retreat from the embankment.

Seeing that the pressure was relieved, Shu Qingqiu thought there was hope of getting out of trouble. He held the river bank and rescued the second son who was shot in the face and still had a chance to survive.

It's just that the armor he wears is too good, and the guards are very strong. After Min Yong and Hecheng retreated down the river bank, Zhou Tong, who personally commanded the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, Fengli Infantry Battalion and Cavalry Battalion to fight together on the front line. He led his soldiers to encircle them, and only then did Shu Qingqiu learn the strength of the Jiangdong Zuo Army.

Mo Knife, Knife Shield, Pike, and Crossbowmen cooperated to suppress each other, and there were flying contradictory vehicles ahead to limit the strong charge of the trapped soldiers, and even the Jiangdong Zuo Army had the ability to organize bowmen to carry out salvo suppression at this time. , Shu Qingqiu has only thirty or fifty guards and some brave skirmishers by his side, how can he break through the siege of the elite soldiers that are several times his own?

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

Standing on the wall of the Hecheng Military Fortress, Su Tingzhan stared solemnly at the battlefield in the west like Shura's hell, with a chill in the depths of his bones. Su Tingzhan boasted that he was excellent at strategy, but he never thought that Lin Fu would have a policy of closing the river, and directly trapped their heavy ship in the heart of the river and could not move.

A considerable part of the soldiers and horses who stayed behind the Hecheng Army Fortress were all subordinates of Cheng Yiqun, and they all strongly demanded to go out for rescue. Give up the idea of ​​rescue due to the situation.

The Jiangdong Left Army has five or six thousand troops. Even if they overwhelm the remaining troops, the disadvantage of the troops is too great. Besides, the river beach position is close to collapse. Thousands of people here will go to rescue and suppress the possibility. Extremely small, in the end, he can only lose all the last chips in his hand.

Seeing that Cheng Yiqun led his troops to flee first, causing the entire river beach position to collapse, Su Tingzhan couldn't blame him too much, but just made arrangements to welcome the defeated troops into the fortress and resist the Jiangdong Zuo army's forcible seizing of the fortress.

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

Seeing that the Kou soldiers who stayed behind the Hecheng Army Fortress had left the fortress, but they were only forming a formation in Yisai, Lin Fu knew that he would not be able to take the Hecheng Army Fortress in one fell swoop.

Lin Fu ordered that except for some of the generals of the cavalry battalion to continue chasing and killing the fleeing pirates, all the soldiers of the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion, the Fengli Infantry Battalion, the Minyong Army, and the Hecheng Army should all gather on the river bank on the south bank to capture the prisoners and flee. It was forcing the pirate soldiers on the east flank of the beach position to abandon their weapons and surrender.

Lin Fu walked to the front of the battle, looked at Shu Qingqiu who was trapped on the river bank calmly, and shouted in a deep voice, "Master Shu, if you don't do it, it's too late to regret it. I'll give you the halberd at this time. stay alive..."

Shu Qingqiuji sat on the ground, hugged the body of his second son, who was already cold, covered in blood, looked at Lin Bie in the distance, and did not have the heart to pick up the halberd next to him, and said in a deep voice, "The kindness that the lord treats me is not a problem. You can wait until the child can know, winning the king or losing, there is nothing to say, if you can leave my whole body to the ground, Jiuquanxia will be grateful..."

Shu Qingqiu was also born as a pirate in his early years, and then he went ashore, but it was actually a secret chess set by the She family in Anji. Lin Fu didn't say much. : "Then leave him a whole body..."

At this time, the pirates in the boat formation on the east wing of the river beach also knew that they were in a dead place and could not struggle.

At this time, the shallow part of the riverbed has exposed the silt~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Such deep silt, even if the boat is abandoned, it is impossible to go ashore and escape quickly, unless it can hold on until the tide rises and refill the salt-carrying river channel with water. Escape to heaven.

Although a large shield can block ordinary arrows, it cannot block the fire of kerosene tanks and rockets when trapped in the middle of the river. Jiangdong Zuojun only needed half an hour to re-set up the catapult, and they simply couldn't support the next time the tide rose.

Although it was said that the pirate soldiers had already thrown the canisters of fuel oil to the nearshore with their bare hands, they still tried to persuade them to surrender, while setting up catapults directly on the river bank to exert pressure. After a long delay, they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Desilting and transporting the salt river requires too much labor, and it is good to have one or two thousand more hard labor. Besides, today is Lin Fu's happy day, and he is not willing to kill.

Cao Zi'ang also came to the south bank at this time, with a lot of muddy water and blood on his body, and suggested to Lin Fu: "Looking at the situation, it is impossible to force the Hecheng army today, you can go back to Jiangkou, don't miss the auspicious time. Wait. The river will recede a little bit. Before the tide rises, I plan to organize people to build another mud embankment on the north side of the garrison, close the Yunyan River in advance, and build a road to the north bank. At least until the Kou soldiers have reinforcements, we will It has the ability to completely block the northern front, so that the East Sea bandits cannot advance westward.”

"Confirmed the casualties, I will go back soon..." Lin Fu said.

At this time, there was a wave of cheers from the Jiangdong Zuo army's position. Seeing Lin Fu coming over, the cheers were even more like thunder and joy. At this time, Wang Chengfu and others could also understand why Lin Fu was on the Jiangdong Zuo. The generals have such high prestige in their hearts: whoever brings such brilliant victories and achievements to an army will win the wholehearted support and respect of the generals of the army.
