Lord of the House

Vol 9 Chapter 53: Raid Dongyang

On the valley road between Luohe Mountain and Dongbai Mountain in Dongyang, Sun Zhuang led the horse and looked up from the top of the forest. The moon hung like a thin hook above the lead-blue night sky in the west. Zhedong Qijun Taibaijian is also clearly visible under the moon.

The wound on his body hadn't completely healed, and blood was leaking from the wound medical gauze. Sun Zhuang didn't care, listening to the sounds in the night forest. The night trip came here, although most of the road was riding on horseback, the mountain road was very bumpy, and it was normal for the wound to collapse after only two days of rest. However, as long as you enter the battlefield and your muscles are tense, this wound is nothing at all.

Even if it is a forbidden entrance, the movement of nearly 3,000 armored soldiers crossing the silent valley road is not small, especially when the iron armor is walking, it sounds like it is raining heavily, and the birds and beasts in the mountains are frightened.

As long as the Dongyang defenders set up guard posts around Gudao, it is impossible not to cause alertness, and now they can only hope that Dongyang's night posts will not be placed too far.

Going out of the valley road, the terrain is a little wider. Going down the west foot of Luohe Mountain is Guyuan in the west of Zhejiang.

The West Zhejiang Valley originally started from Dongyang and extended westward to Xinzhou, Shangrao and Fuzhou, with a length of seven or eight hundred miles. It was sandwiched between the northern foot of Wuyi Mountain and the Qiuling and Baiji Mountains in West Zhejiang. The terrain was relatively simple. Xianxia Ridge is the most important land passage connecting with central and eastern Zhejiang.

More Lanxi originates from Dongbai Mountain in the northeast of Dongyang County. It goes westward, passes through Yiwu, Lanxi and other counties and then turns northward. It joins the Qianjiang River from the west between Tonglu County and Chun'an. It is one of the main tributaries of the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River. .

Who would have thought that after Lin Fu brought a small number of guards to Shengzhou, he did not start to strengthen the offensive against Shengzhou, but mobilized nearly three-quarters of the troops of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, and advanced westward from the valley road between Luohe Mountain and Dongbai Mountain. To attack Dongyang. In Shengzhou, only a thousand soldiers were left to monitor the defenders in the city.

There were galloping horses galloping back in front, and I heard the front shouting: "Army preparation for battle! Armour preparation for battle!" The silent team suddenly boiled, one person after another, and the military order to prepare armour quickly came from the front of the team...

Sun Zhuang knew that he was still far from the enemy, so he was not anxious. On the other hand, the two squires behind him, upon hearing the military order, swiftly opened the package carried by the war horse and unfolded the whole set of armor. One quickly helped the war horse to wear it, and the other assisted Sun Zhuang in putting on a set of scale armor on top of the leather armor. .

Even if it doesn't count the inner armor worn by Sun Zhuang, the whole set of heavy riding armor with a man and a horse will weigh a hundred pounds. It is very easy to wrap the horse and walk on a hunch. All get tired.

At this moment, Chen Zhu walked over from the front, next to Sun Zhuang, and said: "The front collided with the night scout in Dongyang, She Feihu really didn't have the intention of guarding Dongyang. When the reinforcements from Zhuji arrive, we will go to Shengzhou. The defenses on the east bank of Taibai River are very simple, and heavy armor can be used to crash in..."

"It's just a camp fence and refusing horses. It's simple. If there are other traps, it will be difficult for a heavy armored cavalry to get out..." Sun Zhuang said, "It is best to send a light cavalry to step on it first!"

"Understood," Chen Zhu said, "Pole Master, you should also take it easy, I will arrange for the infantry to enter the two wings at the same time. If you see something wrong, stop and don't go deep..."

"Damn Bazi, when you led someone forward, you were more fierce than any grandson, and it has been chilling in the past two years?" Sun Zhuang asked with a sneer.

"People are dead and birds are facing the sky, I'm afraid of asking for help!" Chen Zhu said, "But the soldiers and horses of the She family are different, they are different from the officers and soldiers who are like paper. In the past, but to open a hole in the luxury family, it might be a trap, so you can't go ahead alone..."

"Where did you learn these words, it's not your cheap husband who taught you?" Sun Zhuang laughed at him.

"Don't fight for courage, don't be afraid to retreat, and the whole army advances and retreats as one." Zhang Gou came up from behind and said, "Dengcheng Tiger has really learned a lot of tactics in the past two years, no wonder this time To be a brigade commander..."

"Hey, it's not a bad fight," Chen Zhuhe smiled, "It's a loss, you can't have a long memory at all!"

Sun Zhuang smiled, and no longer sneered at Chen Zhuo.

In those days, he liked to rely on his martial prowess to excel in battle. Every time he fought, he would take the lead and lead dozens of sharp soldiers to rush to the front, as if a sharp knife would stab and disrupt the enemy's formation, and the soldiers and horses behind him would be able to catch up with the enemy's formation. gotta crash. This method of warfare is very effective against officers and soldiers who are weak in combat strength and not strong in fighting spirit, but they have to suffer every time in the hands of the Huaidong Army, so that in the battle of Suining, Sun Zhuang even brought his horses and captured them alive.

Zhang Gou approached and asked Sun Zhuang, "It really doesn't matter that the man is injured, how about I come to the team to kill him this time?"

"If it hurts on the leg, it won't get in the way of riding on the horse," Sun Zhuang still had some opinions on Zhang Gou, and his tone was still abrupt. Commanding the army, leading the troops to the top, is not breaking Huaidong's rules, you should stay and stare at Chen Zhe - don't look at his righteous words at this time, and when the fight starts, you may have a hot brain and be overwhelmed. Shang Jia took the lead and arched inward. What kind of temper is this grandson, I still don’t know, can a dog change to eat shit?”

Chen Zhushen smiled and didn't refute. He turned his head and instructed the two soldiers who followed Sun Zhuang's attack: "Follow Master Pole, don't let the horse startle!" Then he said to Chen Daozi, "What do you want, Master Pole? Mistakes, I dismantled your bones!"

Chen Zujigong promoted Lin Fu to the brigade commander in front of the battle, and was responsible for leading his troops to attack Dongyang. Zhang Gou still accompanies the generals who joined the army to assist in commanding the battle. Sun Zhuang was promoted to sentry general and was responsible for leading the few troops of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion. cavalry.

In the era of fierce warfare with cold weapons, personal martial arts is still the most intense color in the war.

Although Sun Zhuang was still an ordinary soldier before the war, he attacked Jikou Village, landed at Tiegang, and rushed to Shengzhou. He killed the enemy and won no less than 20 in several battles, so Wu Yong naturally quickly established a personal reputation in the army. . Especially the soldiers who were recruited in the late stage of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, most of them are the returning troops of the refugee army, and they are not unfamiliar with the name "Sun Ganzi". When the battalion general and the brigade commander, the following generals will not have many accidents.

In order to avoid disturbing Dongyang, Shangyu's reinforcements deliberately delayed their arrival, and the Huaidong Army besieging Shengzhou on the 28th was also dominated by 4,000 soldiers and horses from Chongcheng.

In addition to more than 200 guards, those who rushed to Shengzhou with Lin Fu secretly brought more than 100 sets of horse armor. From the view of the She Family's scouts, this amount of troops was just a baggage team sent in for supplies, and could not cause enough vigilance.

In addition to the cavalry battalion led by Zhou Pu, each battalion in Chongzhou also had a small number of cavalry troops. Lin tie brought more than 100 sets of horse armor, and the Chongcheng battalion could also make up two teams of heavy armor to ride out.

The delay here is just a while. The two outposts of the Dongyang defenders at the northwestern foothills of Luohe Mountain have been cleared. Sun Zhuang put on heavy armor and stepped on horseback with the assistance of the sword and shield soldiers and entered Luohe Mountain. The offensive position at the northwestern foot of Heshan Mountain.

The heavy armored cavalry led by Sun Zhuang to attack from the center was only about 120 cavalry, plus twice the number of swords and shields. A **** array, coordinated attack.

The sky was clear and misty, and the crescent moon was thin and transparent. It was already dawn. The horse's nibs were untied, and the warhorses were hoarse, caught in the whistling of the wind, which was extraordinarily thorough.

In front of the battle formation, the fortress on the east bank of Taibai Stream showed a vague shape. On the gentle **** sloping down to the west, the green grass is far away, and nearly a hundred armored light cavalry has galloped and attacked. They are divided into two teams, and they cross the right flank directly to the east bank of Taibai Creek. The first is to restrict She Feihu from sending troops out of the camp to form a defensive formation on the right flank.

The defenders on the east bank of Taibai River were mainly reinforcements led by She Feihu from southern Zhejiang. There were more than 5,000 elite troops. They traveled north from Yongjia and reached Tiantai County on the 27th. Since the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion was ready for reinforcements on the outskirts of Shengzhou, and the road from Tiantai to Shengzhou was too dangerous, She Feihu led his troops to move west from Tiantai to Dongyang on the 28th. , and then go eastward from the valley road between Luohe Mountain and Dongbai Mountain to assist Shengzhou.

Taibai River is the upper reaches of Lanxi River. She Feihu led his troops into Dongyang, naturally on the east bank of Taibai River, and Dongyang City was on the west bank of Taibai River. Shefeihu built a fort on the **** of the east bank, waiting for reinforcements from Kuaiji. come up.

The reinforcements led by She Feihu were mainly infantry. They walked nearly 500 miles in four days. They were extremely tired. The fort was built hastily with the assistance of the Dongyang defenders, and they planned to rest in Dongyang for two days.

She Feihu's strategy was not wrong. He did not enter Shengzhou directly from Tiantai County. Compared with the past, he was quite cautious. What She Feihu could not have imagined was that Lin Fu, who had only 4,000 troops in Shengzhou and had to guard against the situation of more than 2,000 defenders in Shengzhou city, would resolutely abandon Shengzhou and send the main force to sneak attack on Dongyang.

The outer sentry sent back to warn ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ She Feihu only got half an hour's warning time.

The half-an-hour preparation time could only make the five thousand tired armored soldiers who were sleeping hurriedly wake up and put on their armors. chaos.

She Feihu was aware of the weakness of the right flank of the camp, and the entire camp spread out along the east bank of Taibai Creek, which was obviously too narrow and long. Once attacked from the flank, it would be very passive.

Hearing the sound of the wind mixed with the neighing of war horses, She Feihu had to set up an interception array on the **** on the right flank in the shortest possible time, with a crossbow, a high shield, and a simple horse-rejection array, and pulled out a certain depth to avoid Huaidong. The army directly broke the base!

The camp on the east bank of Taibai River was built on the gentle **** near the shore, while the main offensive position of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion was on the gentle **** at the northwest foot of Luohe Mountain, with Daokuangou in the middle. In the rainy seasons of summer and autumn, this wide ditch is a floodway, but at this time it is covered with weeds, and there are no shrubs.

Since the She family's reinforcements in Zhuji could reach Dongyang in one day, leaving little time for the Huaidong Army to attack Dongyang, Chen Zhu and Zhang Gou decided to put 60% of their troops into the first offensive. After the first troops were sent out, Chen Zhu and Zhang Gou did not rest. Since the current position was already filled, no amount of troops could be deployed, so they ordered the remaining two battalions of soldiers to follow Luohe Shanxi. The slopes at the northern foot of the mountain spread out to the two wings, looking for a new attack channel.

As long as the frontal battlefield headed by Sun Zhuang can gain an advantage, they will not hesitate to order the last two battalions of Jia soldiers to attack again, and strive to deploy all three thousand rushing horsemen in the shortest time. The fortress on the east bank of Taibai Stream launched a stormy attack. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
