Lord of the House

When Chen Zuo and Zhang Gou led their troops to cross the Yishui River and rushed to the east bank of the Sishui River, the northern part of the Hedong Camp in Suyu was caught in a sea of ​​fire, burning the dark sky at dawn to red.

Seeing that the camp could not be defended, Li Liang, the commander of the Hedong camp, set fire to the camp before finally withdrawing.

Before attacking the camp, Lin Fu, Qin Chengzu, Ning Zechen and others considered that the refugee army would set fire to the camp and chose to attack from the upper hand.

Fortunately, the southeast wind did not change overnight.

When the refugee army set fire to the camp, they basically didn't have much determination to resist. When the fire was set, they were in the downwind of the spread of the fire. Under the fierce attack of the army, the refugee army quickly withdrew.

The refugee army had smeared mud on the fences and huts earlier, and set fire to prepare for the Jiangdong Left Army to attack the camp. Although it is primitive, it can also effectively prevent the spread of the fire. The Jiangdong Left Army completely occupied the Hedong Camp. Only a large area was burned near the Beiying Gate, and the damage was not particularly serious.

Chen Zhe and Zhang Gou could hardly imagine how the Jiangdong Zuo Army, with only more than 4,000 elite soldiers, could forcibly capture the Hedong Camp from nearly 6,000 defenders when Chen Hansan led the cavalry into the rear wing.

Chen Hansan did not fail to do his best this time. Chen Zuo and Zhang Gou made their subordinates form a battle on the gentle **** east of Hedong Camp, and rushed to see Chen Hansan. There are also hundreds of casualties.

Like their commander, Sun Zhuang, Chen Zhu, Zhang Gou and others were quite dissatisfied with Chen Hansan, but they also knew that Chen Hansan was able to fight so hard this time, and it was already quite attentive.

The defender on Su Yu's side was Ma Lantou's lieutenant Li Liang. He was in his early thirties. In his early years, he and Ma Lantou and others escaped from the border army with Liu An'er. It has been difficult, but life is refreshing, and there is no regret. Li Liang was white and clean, and he didn't look like he was born in the refugee army. He brought his cronies Li Yu'er over, full of annoyance that the camp had been taken away, and came to Chen Hansan, and used the metal pocket to the ground. He scolded: "Damn, this battle is so depressing, Jiangdong Zuojun took shield chariots and high shields to break through, and in the middle they used rushing chariots, mules and horses to demolish camp sheds, there is no chance for a smooth fight! If I knew this earlier, I set fire to the camp from the very beginning! Zuo Hujun, how do you think this battle will continue?"

Li Liang finally evacuated nearly 2,000 troops. The previous large number of soldiers were scattered and routed. They escaped from the east and west gates, and the casualties of the troops were not serious. It was not easy to gather the scattered soldiers at night, but it also allowed Li Liang to gather nearly 3,000 troops in the north.

Although it was said that the Jiangdong Zuo Army captured the Hedong camp at night, but in the calculation, adding the newly arrived Chen Zuo and Zhang Gou's troops, they still have as many as 8,000 troops, twice that of the Jiangdong Zuo Army. , Li Liang was unwilling to lose the Hedong camp like this.

Chen Hansan stared fiercely at the northern part of the Hedong Camp, where the fire created a gap of more than 20 feet wide. If he wanted to counterattack the Hedong Camp, it was the most suitable place to attack, but he did not say anything. . Everyone knew that the situation was critical, but they were still reluctant to fill in all his elites.

Don't talk about Chen Hansan, Chen Zhuo and Zhang Gou were also slightly embarrassed.

They and Chen Han's three divisions pursued and fought all night, and the soldiers were very tired. It was hard to say how much combat power they could break out. They didn't want to exhaust their troops in the first battle.

Survival in troubled times, rely on what? Don't you rely on this soldier in your hand?

If we really want to counterattack, we still need Li Liang to lead his troops as the main force.

Li Liang had just led 6,000 troops to defend the Hedong camp, and was driven out. Can he be expected to lead his troops as the main force, and can he be expected to suppress the arrogance of the Jiangdong Zuo Army? In order to ensure the front line in Siyang, it was too powerful to transfer elite troops from Suyu. The elite soldiers that Li Liang can press and fight are too limited.

Although in the past two days and two nights, the Jiangdong Zuo Army has fought one or two more tough battles than them, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as when it was at its peak, but the soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, in addition to their personal bravery, emphasize more on battlefield discipline and cooperation in combat. Their armour, equipment and supplies are much better, so after continuous marching and fighting, they can still maintain a combat effectiveness above the standard - this is far from being comparable to the refugee army.

Sun Ganzi once said that if he had the armour and equipment of the Jiangdong Left Army, he would also dare to carry the king's cavalry of the eastern captives.

This may be true, but in addition to the armor and equipment, the more important thing is the supply of food and grass.

As long as they fail to capture Xuzhou and occupy the next place to take root, even if they capture and equip a batch of well-equipped armour, the soldiers' bodies will be severely damaged in the long-term forced roaming battle.

Compared with the Jiangdong Left Army's two days and two nights of forced marching and continuous operations, Zhang Gou and Chen Zuo have been fighting in various places for two years. Due to the difficulty of supply, they seldom stay in one place for more than a month. It is an extremely severe test for everyone's body.

For more than two years, Zhang Gou is no longer the former frontier army school, and Chen Zui is no longer the small leader of the original water village. They can rise up and can give Sun Ganzi as their arms. In addition to their ability to fight bravely, they also lie in They use their brains more than others when fighting. I can't help but think, if we can still conquer Xuzhou, how will we go in the future?

At this time, the Jiangdong Left Army has the advantage of defending the camp. How will this battle be fought? Zhang Gou and Chen Zhu couldn't help but have such doubts in their hearts.

At this time, on the west bank of the river, there was a long line of people holding torches coming from south to north. Li Liang shouted excitedly: "Okay, the reinforcements from Ma Shuai are back!"

It's far away, and it's hard to see it clearly. There's no doubt that the reinforcements from Siyang came back overnight, but Zhang Gou and Chen Zhe thought to themselves: in such a short period of time, did Ma Shuai and Master Zhu cross the Huai River under Liu Tingzhou's troops? Army wiped out?

Although most of Liu Tingzhou's Duhuai army was a newly recruited rabble, Shanyang County's soldiers were rare elites. Since they started the army, they have not been able to get much advantage from the soldiers of Shanyang County. Liu Tingzhou could still be defeated but not collapsed under the conditions of the morning the day before yesterday. It was precisely the elite soldiers of the Sixth Battalion from Shanyang County who supported him.

Besides, the pontoon bridge on Suyu's side has almost been destroyed, and Dongkouzi is under the control of Jiangdong Zuojun again. When the reinforcements from Siyang come back, they can only ensure that Suyu City is not lost, but they cannot support the war here!

Chen Hansan had a gloomy face. Although the troops of the refugee army on the east bank of the river belonged to three divisions, he still had to take the lead in making decisions at this time. The defense is very strict, making it difficult for our army to break through the defensive formations it has deployed, but it is also difficult for them to attack our army in the field..."

During the battle of attacking the camp, Li Liang's troops were beaten up, and Chen Han's three troops were cavalry and could not enter the camp to support the operation. .

In the field battle, Chen Hansan was taboo on the way of attacking the Jiangdong Zuo Army's armored cavalry in the middle of the infantry array. If it is exposed, it will be able to attack its flanks with light mounts.

When reinforcements had arrived from Hexi, Chen Hansan gave up the idea of ​​counterattacking the Hedong camp, so Chen Zu, Zhang Gou, and Li Liang led their infantry into formation. The important soldiers worked tirelessly to dig more obstacles and trenches in front of the battle, confine the Jiangdong Left Army to the Hedong Camp, and take advantage of their military strength to form a counter-encirclement.

They can even transfer troops and horses from the Tancheng and Zhaiqiao camps. Even if they gather up the scattered stragglers who were defeated in the previous two battles, they also have a considerable amount of troops and horses available.

Chen Hansan had the intention to suppress the Jiangdong Zuo Army in the Hedong Camp, but his plan was soon dashed.

In the morning light, the tall masts erected by the water camp warships were like huge battle flags swaying.

The measures to close the river in the Sishui River by the refugee army are mainly composed of dark piles, iron cable pontoon bridges, and broken river wood in the upper reaches. The broken river wood has been broken, and after Lin Bie has occupied the large camp in the east of the river, the iron cable pontoon bridge and the dark pile are not obstacles.

Lin Fu immediately asked people to dive into the water, find out the location of the hidden stake, tie a rope, and together dozens of people could pull a hidden stake out of the river and open the blocked channel.

The Jiangning Water Camp came. In addition to taking the Fengli Camp and the Cavalry Camp, which had been fighting for two days and two nights on the east bank, to the west bank of the Sishui River, they also brought new troops from the Changshan Camp with five battalions and three thousand soldiers.

Although on the west bank of the Sishui River, the refugee army sent reinforcements from Siyang overnight, but the reinforcements also traveled through the night after the continuous fighting in Siyang, and they were quite exhausted.

The Jiangning Water Camp came, and some of the warships moored on the east bank. Some of the warships were moored on the west bank, and Ao Canghai was standing on the deck wearing crimson armor~www.wuxiaspot.com~, commanding the elites of Changshan Battalion to land directly in front of the enemy.

Lin Fu boarded the boat, and when Ao Canghai and Ge Cunxiong briefly reported the situation in Siyang and Shanyang, he sighed: "Liu Tingzhou can take a breath. Can he catch up with the trip? Can he send the refugee army to the west of Sishui River? The deployment is completely disrupted. It depends on whether the Changshan Camp can stand on the west bank and drive the refugee army back to the city of Suyu... I went into the cabin and slept first, and I didn't sleep for two days and two nights. I can't stand it!"

Sun Zhuang was quite depressed. After receiving the report from here last night, Ma Lantou stayed in Siyang and continued to lead the main force to surround Liu Tingzhou, who had broken through since yesterday afternoon. After running around all night, when they came to Suyu, nearly a thousand people still fell behind and fell behind.

If the Jiangdong Zuo Army, who continued to march and fought for two days and two nights, forcibly crossed the river, Sun Zhuang would still be able to fight recklessly, but how could it be that the elites from Changshan Battalion who had just landed on the west bank and had just been transferred to Huaisi to fight?

After a long period of exploration, the Jiangdong Left Army has a mature mode of landing in front of the enemy.

Although there are still some weaknesses that are difficult to overcome when landing in front of the enemy, but the enemy is tired and strong, and he has advantages in armor and equipment, and there are ships and large crossbow falling rocks near shore support, so it is not difficult to forcibly land.

Sun Zhuang led his troops to counterattack several times, but they were unable to knock down the small army of the Changshan Battalion who landed on the shore. The more they fought, the bigger and firmer Changshan Battalion's position on the shore became, and his two flanks were threatened by strong crossbows, causing heavy casualties. Even Chen Zhuang was fighting in front of him with a saber, but he was exhausted. He fell off his horse and was almost hacked to death by a random knife. The left army of Jiangdong landed on the west bank of the Sishui River. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
