Lord of the House

Vol 6 Chapter 108: Battle of the Island

(Second, ask for a red ticket)

Lin Fu was not very sure about using the tactics of suspicious soldiers, and he could not accurately know the situation on Changshan Island at this time. After taking Daheng Island, She Feihu led his troops to raid Chongzhou, and he could also lead the boats to help calmly.

The East Sea Bandit's camp at the northeastern foot of Jinji Mountain is sandwiched between the slopes and valleys halfway up the mountain, and the Qingshi River flows out from it. Although the terrain of the enemy base located on the south bank of Qingshixi and under the north cliff is not very steep, except for the rocky valley, the ready-to-climb road is the narrow **** on the south bank that is no more than five steps wide. . Although the climbing **** was less than two miles long, it set up many obstacles for the Kou soldiers who had retreated into the camp.

Lin Fu entrusted the county army township Yong with a large shield against the arrow stone to clear the obstacles on the ramp, forcing the front line as close as possible to the enemy's base, limiting the range of activities of the pirates in the mountains, and made the county soldier town Yong use a knife and a spear to dig. , Using the whole morning, a simple mountain road was opened in the bushes on the north bank of Qingshiwan, and the catapult components were transported to the **** head on the north bank for erection.

The iron castings made in the world are unbearable to be used repeatedly, and the crossbow tip also has extremely high requirements on the elasticity and strength of the material. Ordinary wood is far from the ideal shooting range, and a catapult cannot actually fire many stone bullets continuously and will be scrapped , and the cost is quite high. However, no matter how high the cost, Lin Bie still prefers to focus on using catapults when attacking fortresses.

Judging from the experience of storming Qingshiwankou Cape Fort five days ago, the strength of the enemy's camp in the northern foothills is limited, and the surrounding terrain is relatively flat, and there are two or three places where catapults can be erected, which prompted Lin Bie's final decision The factor of attacking Daheng Island first.

In the middle of the corner (before eleven o'clock), Ge Cunxin calmly led the remnants of the second water camp at Suwankou.

The casualties of the First Water Battalion were also counted. The fierce battle at dawn caused the casualty ratio of the First Water Battalion to exceed 30%. The first water battalion needs immediate rest and cannot be used to engage in fierce battles. Once the casualty ratio increases again, the first water battalion is disabled, and it will not be able to recover its combat effectiveness for a long time.

There are less than 600 pirates on Daheng Island. Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu led the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion with 700 elite soldiers here, and there are also 2,000 county soldiers who dare to fight. With such a force, it is enough to attack the enemy's base. Lin Fu envoy Ge Cunxin led the second battalion to leave the port on alert, and Zhao Qingshan led the first battalion to retreat into the inner harbor to rest.

In the middle of the corner, the sun rubbed the forest shoots at the northern cliff head of Jinji Mountain, casting a dazzling light, making it more difficult to attack the enemy base.

Zhao Hu personally led the county soldiers to attack the enemy's base. The morale of the county soldiers was good, and they fought bravely. After all, they lacked training.

After clearing the obstacle, it is often easily disrupted by a rough log that rolls down. The shield formation had a huge loophole, and it was very easy to be taken advantage of by enemy arrows. They fell down with arrows one after another, and even threw the Kou soldiers out of the base. If Zhao Hu hadn't resisted in time with the elites who were on the ground, the attack sequence would be the first. It's possible to crash down.

Lin Fu, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, frowned, secretly thinking that these county soldiers and townships must be of great use. In addition to continuing to practice, the key is to recruit a group of middle and low-level officers with tactical literacy.

This is what we have to do after the war. Right now, we can only count on them to clear the passage to the enemy base, consume the defensive strength of the enemy base, and open up an offensive position for the attacking elite of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion on the thorny **** in front of the enemy base— - After smashing the enemy base with the catapult, the soldiers of the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion will be the main force in the fierce battle with the Kou soldiers in the narrow mountains.

People are accustomed to seeing casualties with soldiers, and it is easy for people to become cold-blooded, but Jiangdong Zuojun has only so few elites, and elites are used everywhere, and they cannot withstand consumption. The situation in the world is strange and complicated, and no one can predict when the situation will suddenly change. ——This world can be restored if it can be restored, but the first consideration is the survival of Jiangdong Zuojun.

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

Although Jinji Mountain has more dangerous terrain, the difficulty of building a fort is not trivial. At this time, the fortress at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain is already quite dangerous. At least in the past few decades, except for those who were trapped and abandoned their food, they have never given any help. Who has broken through.

Su Tingzhan used to see more lever-type catapults. This kind of catapult required a dozen or twenty people, or even dozens or hundreds of people to operate it together. It usually required an open field of fifty or sixty steps to set up a position in order to launch stone bombs calmly.

Su Tingzhan had never seen such a catapult equipped by Jiangdong Zuojun, which could be directly erected in a confined space such as the deck of a warship, and only required three or five people to operate.

The last time he was attacked, the Cape fort was destroyed, and he suffered a big loss from this catapult.

After the war, Su Tingzhan asked craftsmen to imitate this catapult. He also thought about the Beilu fortress made of stone. For the Jiangdong Zuo Army equipped with this kind of catapult that can be erected directly in a narrow space, it is no longer good. It is very steep, and it is intended to reinforce the northern foothills fortress. But it had only been four days since the last raid, and Su Tingzhan couldn't do either of these two things.

Holding on until dusk, seeing that the stone wall was shattered by stone bullets, the Jiangdong Zuo army pushed the carts and rammed the wood from the front, and the reinforcements of the second son also disappeared. Su Tingzhan was forced to abandon the camp. He set fire to the warehouse and led 500 remnants to retreat from the narrow passage behind the camp to the depths of Jinji Mountain.

Zhao Qingshan, who was watching the battle beside Lin Fu, watched the fire rising from the remaining bases in the mountains, and scolded: "This **** thing, allowing him a chance to surrender, he is determined to urinate in a pot with the luxury family. !"

There were a lot of fires in the remnants. Zhao Hu was fearless and led his troops to chase the remnants through fire, leaving the fire to the soldiers of the county and township behind to extinguish it.

Going up from the enemy base, the mountain road becomes steeper and narrower, and it becomes more and more difficult to raise a shield to attack. Fortunately, Su Tingzhan led the remnants of bandits to retreat with one heart. Zhao Huneng led his troops to climb the mountain behind the tail of the remnant bandits.

Further up is the North Cliff of Jinji Mountain. Kou Bing set up a post on it. It can be said that it is the last dangerous pass for East Sea pirates at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain. Lin Bie stared at the north cliff and discussed the war with Zhao Qingshan. : "For Su Tingzhan, it is far better to retreat into the mountains and wait for help to contain our army than to fight all five hundred defenders on the narrow road and be loyal to the extravagant family. Su Tingzhan can break through in eastern Zhejiang. Given the notoriety of being a butcher and being a scholar, I won't be left without a clue!"

Su Tingzhan went to the North Cliff and saw that the pursuers were still biting so tightly in such a narrow passage. He hated deeply that the bow and crossbow could not shoot through the big shield. First, he sent more than 20 cronies to guard the narrow passage and prevent the pursuers from rushing up. He also directed his subordinates to collect stones and trees everywhere, thinking that it would not be too late to smash this team of pursuers and then retreat into the forest...

At this time, when he heard a strange noise in the dense forest behind him, Su Tingzhan looked at him in awe. The treetops of the main peak forest shook. After a while, countless Jianjia infantrymen protruded from the forest, and he didn't know how many soldiers were hiding in the forest.

There are also steep cliffs on the east and west sides of the North Cliff, and there are chasing soldiers below. Su Tingzhan is afraid that the back road will be cut off by the ambush soldiers. How dare he fight in the North Cliff?

For decades, Daheng Island has not been cultivated by the islanders except for pirates, and Jinji Mountain is mostly difficult to climb terrain such as bushes, thorns, dense forests, and steep cliffs, except for the climbing trails at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain.

Lin Bian anticipated the possibility of the Kou soldiers abandoning the fort and fleeing, so Zhao Hu led the infantry to attack from the front, and Zhou Tong led the light soldiers to climb the main peak from the flank to act as an ambush.

Worrying that the Kou Bing would find out that the back road was blocked early, it would arouse the trapped beasts they were stubbornly resisting, and would bring unnecessary casualties to the Jiangdong Zuo Army. The slightly gentle mountaineering at the southern foot of the mountain has been waiting for the opportunity to fight in the dense forest on the southern **** of the main peak of Jinji Mountain.

Su Ting abandoned the fort and fled, setting fire to destroy the ruined fort, Zhou Tong then continued to lead the ambulance to climb over the main peak of Jinji Mountain from the southern slope.

Fortunately, Su Tingzhan's situation was even worse, and he didn't have the will to fight when he saw the soldiers in ambush. Su Tingzhan also knew that the situation was over, and he just wanted to keep his usefulness.

After the break, more than 20 bandits led Zhao Hu and his troops to rush under the narrow road and then collapsed. Zhao Hu and Zhou Tong's troops joined together and intercepted most of the fleeing bandits on the north **** of the main peak of Jinji Mountain...

The terrain around the enemy base at the northern foothills is very complicated~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It is impossible to form a tight and airtight encirclement. In the end, Su Tingzhan escaped into the dense forest of Dongpo. At the same time, nearly 300 robbers escaped. At this time It was getting dark and there was no time to enter the dense forest to clear the ground, so Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu temporarily retreated down the mountain.

At this time, Lin Fu was in the Beilu fortress with only broken walls and half of it was burnt to black, Zhou Tong walked over to report the battle situation: "Let the surnamed Su escape, but the tail hair was not caught..."

"Oh, it's not surprising." Lin Fu said. After all, they were not familiar with the terrain of Daheng Island. Su Tingzhan didn't mean to fight to the death. It took a little luck to catch him.

Hearing that Su Tingzhan might gather 300 remnants on the island, he instructed Zhou Tong to send someone to temporarily seal the narrow road leading to the top of the mountain, and use the remnants of the northern foothills to station an elite team to take the remnants of Su Tingzhan. In addition to the blockade of the northern foothills, a battalion township was transferred to build the Wankou Cape Fortress, and a certain defense was restored as soon as possible, and the main force was withdrawn into the inner harbor for rest.

The entire Daheng Island is about 24 miles long from east to west, and the east peninsula is narrow, long and low, and can be used for farming; the entire Jinji Mountain is the west peninsula, about 20 miles around, and there is only one main peak, about 80 feet high.

Jinji Mountain is not big, but considering the fact that the Kou soldiers are familiar with the terrain of Daheng Island, they can withdraw to the Eastern Peninsula at a critical moment to resist. can be done in time.

Whether to go into the mountains to clear Su Tingzhan's remnants, and how to clear them, we will have to wait for further news from Changshan Island before making a decision. We must be prepared now, and we may have to meet the extravagant flying tigers that are heading south. It may be possible to help Chongzhou, and it is also necessary to avoid the news that Changshan Island is actually a secret chess game of the Jiangdong Zuo Army too early to reach Xiao Taoyuan's ears.
