Lord of the House

When Tian Chang led his troops into Dongyang County, he had no hope of understanding the siege of Shengzhou.

The river water that dyed blood red is also diluted by the upstream water to restore clarity. Outside the West City Gate Building, the Taibai River that passes around the city is sparkling golden in the setting sun.

On the east bank, the Huaidong Army sent decent people to clean up the battlefield, dismantled the soldiers who died in the battle, and transported the corpses to the river bank, waiting for the ship to be transported back here.

Farther away, the main force of the Huaidong Army was occupying a **** of only ten feet at the northwest foot of Luohe Mountain. This **** was blocking the entrance of Gudao from Dongyang County to Shengzhou.

At the foot of Poyuan, the Huaidong Army used a large number of chariot shields and chariots to surround a simple camp wall, and the soldiers stood guard behind the chariot camp. Signs of a long-term confrontation with troops stationed at the foot of Luohe Mountain.

Including the remnants of the retreat to the West Bank, Dongyang County defenders, and reinforcements from Zhuji, She Feihu can mobilize about 10,000 troops in Dongyang County.

But the battle on the east bank of Taibaixi was too bad. Although half of the soldiers were withdrawn, there were only 2,5600 soldiers left, and more than half of them were wounded. Military morale was also low. Rushingly pressing the Zhuji reinforcements to attack, if it is unfavorable and Dongyang County can't hold it, then the Huaidong Army will be able to use Dongyang to attack west Zhejiang, south Zhejiang, and north to attack Kuaiji - compared to breaking the siege of Shengzhou, The most important thing at present is to stabilize the position in Dongyang County.

She Feihu held the wall with his hands, his face was calm and his eyes were sharp, but his fingers almost smashed the city wall.

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

The twilight was getting heavier, and Poyuan had set up campfires from the east bank of Taibai Creek, fluffy like campfires scattered in the grassland.

In preparation for a sneak attack by the Dongyang defenders crossing the river at night, Lin Bing listened to the wind howling in the mountains and forests, looked up at the sky, the clouds were rolling, and the rain would not be small after dark.

"Heaven helps Huaidong!" Lin Fu turned around and said with emotion to Zhang Gou, Chen Enze and other generals behind him.

Zhang Gou looked up at the sky. If it rained heavily last night, although it would make the raid more concealed, it would actually make the raid more difficult, and it would be more likely to return without success. Once She Feihu is allowed to assemble and adjust the complete force in Dongyang County by taking advantage of the heavy rain, the difficulty and danger of the first battle in Shengzhou will be greatly increased.

Lin Fu said that it was appropriate for God to help Huaidong, and it was also the continuous cloudy and rainy days in the past few days, which allowed Huaidong to occupy the sky, so that the advance of the war was not unexpectedly hindered. Fighting depends on the weather, the right place, and the people. The rainy weather will make it difficult to build villages and transport materials, but it will also make it more difficult for She Feihu to counterattack from the west coast.

Walking to the military medical camp, thousands of wounded and wounded were crowded here for treatment, which seemed chaotic. Lin Bie frowned and was quite dissatisfied. One tent after another passed by, and finally couldn't help it. With a questioning tone, he asked the people behind him: "How long will it take to empty the valley? Those who can be transferred should be transferred to Shangyu for recuperation as soon as possible!"

In such a short period of time, for Zhang Gou, Chen Zuo and others, the more important thing was to prevent She Feihu from counterattacking from the west bank of Taibai Stream. Furthermore, in a short period of time, as many supplies and reinforcements as possible must be sent over to stabilize the front line here. The valley road from Shengzhou to Dongyang County will be filled with carriages and troops heading west. There is a waterway connected to Shangyu in Shengzhou, but it is not much better. There is no free passage for the thousands of wounded and wounded to be evacuated from here, and they are temporarily left in the camp to concentrate on treatment.

"It will take about three or five days..." Zhang Gou replied.

"It's too slow," Lin Fu frowned and said, "The post road and the valley road pass through, no matter whether the carriage or horses, you must follow a principle, keep on the left..." Lin Fu squeezed his left hand into a fist and raised it, deepening the battle The concept of "left" and "right", "No matter how urgent it is, carriages, people and horses must give up the right-hand reverse passage. Of course, it is difficult to really achieve this. As a measure of friendship, you can follow Every 50 feet of Gu Road, a flag is placed to guard a soldier to maintain order, and two roads that can be passed in the opposite direction must be separated as soon as possible. The west road can be wider, but it is necessary to ensure that the east road to Shengzhou is also maintained at all times. Unobstructed! Where the valley road is dangerous and not wide enough, we need to send out the brigades to widen and renovate it; we must also be prepared for the mountain torrent to wash down the valley road after the rain!"

Afraid that the generals would be difficult to understand, Lin Fu squatted on the ground, drew the diagram and explained it again.

Although three or four hundred soldiers will be dispatched from Shengzhou to the nearly hundred-mile valley road, but at this time to ensure that the roads between Luohe Mountain and Shengzhou and Shangyu are smooth, no matter how much the price is, it must be spent.

Zhang Gou and the officials responsible for material transportation carefully recorded Lin Fu's words and arranged for someone to implement them. Sun Zhuang was lying on the sick bed, leaning over his body, and said, "It's enough to withdraw the heavily disabled soldiers. If all the wounded soldiers are withdrawn, how can we fight down here?"

"You can take care of your injuries first," Lin Fu said. "Not only will the wounded be evacuated to recuperate, but the Chongcheng Infantry Camp will also have to be evacuated to recuperate. Here, we will send troops from Changshan Camp to defend! It will be completely replaced within three or five days!"

"Who will fight Shengzhou City?" Sun Zhuang asked with concern.

"Chongcheng Infantry Battalion was responsible for the siege in the early stage, and we have to wait for the troops from Changshan Battalion to be transferred to attack the fortress." Lin Fu patiently explained the next deployment to Sun Zhuang.

The battle at Taibaixi was almost the limit of Huaidong, and he no longer had the ability to expand. If the She family moves the troops in western Zhejiang to the east, Lin Fu will even consider taking it back to prevent the entire front from failing and collapsing.

Before the war, the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion had only a limited number of troops, only about 6,000 people. After landing on the shore, the number of battles was very exhausting, and the proportion of attrition was nearly half, and a large number of wounded and soldiers had to be transferred to the rear to recuperate.

If the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion is put into a high-intensity battle for the city, it is very likely that this strong army will be crippled accidentally.

Even if the morale of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion was available, Lin Fu still insisted on withdrawing the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion to rest, and handed over the defense line in the east and west of Zhejiang and the siege of the city and the stronghold in the interior to the Changshan Battalion with relatively sufficient troops.

On the other hand, the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion had more expertise in cooperating with the water battalion's landing operations, while the Changshan Battalion had more adequate training in sieging the city.

According to the established plan, as long as there is no violent counterattack by the Dongyang County defenders within three to five days, Chen Zhuo will lead the soldiers and wounded of the first brigade of the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion to evacuate the soldiers and wounded to Shangyu for rest, and Ao Canghai will also lead his troops and Zhou The handover was completed; Lin Fu arranged for Zhang Gou to take charge of the defense line on Luohe Mountain.

Chen Zhuyi is qualified to be used as a general to attack the tough and sharp, but compared to Zhang Gou, he lacks the patience and tenacity to conduct a long-term military confrontation with the enemy, and also lacks the ability to stand alone.

The east-west line of Zhejiang will be headed by Ao Canghai. Ao Canghai also wants Zhang Gou to be the brigade general of Changshan Battalion, who will be responsible for the construction and stationing of Luohe Mountain Defense Village.

On the basis of the 2,000 Changshan Battalion elites who accompanied Lin to aid Luohe Mountain this time, some new soldiers were incorporated into the first brigade of the Changshan Battalion. In addition, Lin Fu also left two battalions of heavy soldiers for Zhang Gou to assist in the defense of the fortress. Of course, Luohe Mountain was in an emergency, and reinforcements from Shengzhou could arrive within a day.

After nightfall, it started to rain, and the rain became heavier in the middle of the night. Except for a few campfires under the shelters, the other campfires were doused by the heavy rain, and the sky and the earth were pitch black.

The rain continued until the second day of April, as if to announce the early arrival of the plum rain season in eastern Zhejiang.

The continuous overcast and rainy weather greatly slowed down the construction speed of Luohe Mountain, but severely restricted the Dongyang County defenders from crossing the Taibai River to fight back. The trestle built by the Dongyang County defenders with fishing boats on the Taibai River was also washed away by the sudden increase in water pressure and the broken trees washed down from Dongbai Mountain.

The tension on both sides of the Taibai River was temporarily relieved due to the rainy weather that lasted for three or four days. Also on vulnerable flanks, deep trenches were dug.

When Luohe Mountain's defense system took shape, Lin Bie left Dongyang County on April 5 and returned to Shengzhou.

Several days of overcast rain in eastern Zhejiang caused the water of the Yanxi River to the west of Shengzhou City to rise sharply. It was as vast as a lake. A dozen warships of the third water battalion were dragged up by hand against the water, lying on the Yanxi River, and cooperated with the foot camp. Completely besieged the city of Shengzhou.

Ao Canghai and Zhou Tong have completed the handover in Shengzhou. The soldiers and horses besieging Shengzhou are mainly the elites of the two brigades and ten battalions of Changshan Battalion. There are also two battalions of workers and soldiers to assist in offense and defense. Heavy equipment such as crash cars, rush cars, nest cars, cave cars, city ladders, catapults, and bed crossbows were all transported to the periphery of Shengzhou City through the Shanxi River waterway.

The west bank of the Yanxi River is the transfer terminal and material station connecting Shangyu to Luohe Mountain Fangzhai.

When Lin Bie led his team to Dongyang County for support, the dock was still a deserted beach full of weeds. At this time, piles were driven into the water, and the inside of the piles was filled with earth and stones. Small pier for three hundred stone boats. The material station was originally a village on the west bank of the Yanxi River. It was requisitioned for reinforcement, hoarding and transferring materials.

The main business of the besieged city is on the east bank of the Yanxi River, which is closer to the south gate of Shengzhou City.

Lin Fu boarded the ship from the west bank transfer terminal and rushed to the main business of Shengzhou City, just as Zhou Tong had not left Shengzhou.

Together they went to the bottom of Shengzhou City to inspect the enemy's situation. Looking at the defenders at the top of the city with halberds and halberds from a distance, Lin Bie frowned and sighed: "The attack on Shengzhou City is also a tough battle!"

"Tian Shi finally refused to surrender, and the clerk of Shangyu County volunteered to go to the city to persuade him, but he lost his head!" Ao Canghai said.

"Then fight!" Lin Fu said, "In the future, there will be siege battles! Before the fight, 6,000 new soldiers will be incorporated into the Changshan Battalion..."

"When will the Chongcheng Foot Camp be expanded?" Zhou Tong asked.

The Changshan Battalion had 12,000 troops before the war. Although the losses were reduced after landing, the soldiers of the Changshan Battalion were quickly replenished after Fu Qinghe led the reinforcements. With the addition of 6,000 new soldiers this time, the Changshan Battalion will expand to 18,000 troops, making it the largest elite army in Huaidong. No wonder Zhou Tong is envious.

Chongcheng Buying and Fengli Camp both maintained a staff of 6,000 people.

"Although the 20 battalions of the marching battalion in the east of Zhejiang will be organized, the marching battalion will mainly defend the local cities, and it is not enough to form military pressure on Kuaiji and southern Zhejiang. The Changshan battalion will temporarily stay in eastern Zhejiang as a field battalion. Cooperative operations are subject to the restraint of the battalion in the east of Zhejiang," Lin Fu said, "only 30 battalions of soldiers are made up, and the troops are still small! As for the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, after the rest and reorganization, it will be expanded, and you will be given five battalions... …”

In the past, the Huaidong Infantry Battalion was dominated by Changshan Battalion, Chongcheng Infantry Battalion, and Fengli Battalion~www.wuxiaspot.com~ were all elite soldiers. Elite infantry soldiers, cooperate with the water camp, and guard Huaidong on land is enough.

With the expansion of the scale of the war, especially this step jumped directly to eastern Zhejiang, and carried out a comprehensive military confrontation with the luxury family from the river to the mountains. The soldiers had to take into account the situation on the northern Huai-Si front, and at the same time, the troops that could be devoted to the southern front to fight against the Shejia family were seriously insufficient.

Not to mention the pressure of supplies and salaries, Huaidong couldn't come up with too many good armour at this time. The expansion is based on the standard of elite infantry soldiers, and the number of troops that can be increased in a short time is limited.

In order to solve this contradiction, Lin Fu divided the infantry battalions within the Huaidong Army and used different combat purposes of field combat or garrison. The prefectural army set up a camp army as the main force of the garrison.

Haidong set up Haidong camp, and Zhedong set up Zhedong camp.

Yanjing was besieged, and there was no way to communicate. Lin Fu asked for instructions to deal with the Mingzhou mansion and could only submit it to the Ningwang mansion and the six ministries of Jiangning.

Lin Fu recommended Liang Wen to be the prefect of Mingzhou in the book, and Li Wei took over from Liang Wen to be the magistrate of Shanyang - I don't know how the Ning Wangfu and the six ministries of Jiangning would deal with Lin Fu's recommended officials, but Lin Fu did not give up Mingzhou at all. In his mind, between the Mingzhou government and the government, the establishment of Zhedong Xingying was already within his clear plan.

Of course, if Jiangning agrees to let Liang Wenzhan be appointed as Mingzhou Prefecture, then the administrative and financial ownership will be assigned to Mingzhou Prefecture; the Zhedong military camp is specialized in defense and military confrontation with extravagant families. If Jiangning must block Huaidong and force others to come to Mingzhou to serve as prefects and other officials, then they will directly use the Zhedong camp to carry out military control over Mingzhou.
