Lord of the House

The Huaidong Army had firmly controlled the situation on the outskirts of Yueqing. From Yongjia to Taizhou, there were several lofty mountains and mountains, and a large-scale troop transfer required a detour of three or four hundred miles of mountain roads, but the sentry could still climb the mountains calmly. Ridge, sneak in and out.

Qin Zitan was in Yongjia City, and he could still know the situation in Taizhou as soon as possible. As time went by, his worries became heavier and heavier.

Compared with the momentum of the Huaidong Army's main force attacking the city and pulling out the village, what worries Qin Zitan is that the speed of the Huaidong Army's purging of local township soldiers has reached an astonishing level.

In Taizhou, the war was still in a stalemate, and Huaidong was able to draw four new soldiers from Taizhou.

Who would have imagined that a luxury family that has been rooted in East Fujian for two hundred years is afraid of fighting against Huaidong, which has only risen for four or five years?

"When it goes on like this, when will it end? It's better to take the horse out of the city happily, fight with his mother, and die happily, why do you need to hold your breath like this!"

Qin Zitan turned his head to look over, and the veteran An Xiajiang, who was sitting diagonally opposite, had the blue veins on his neck throbbing and his whiskers spread out like thorns. The current passive defense situation severely affected the patience of this Bamin veteran, known for his martial arts. 's test.

It is not only An Xiajiang alone, many generals in the army have worn out their patience, and the mood of seeking battle is irritable and uncontrollable.

It has been nearly three years since the She Family raised the flag for the second time, and there have been dozens of battles. To speak of a big setback, only two times, they were all folded into Huaidong's hands. Although these two setbacks made the Zhejiang and Fujian troops lose face, in terms of the loss of troops, it was not a big defeat that was difficult to accept. But the Eastern Front seems to have become so embarrassed overnight, which made many generals in the army puzzled and dissatisfied.

Wen Tingrui supported the long case and said to Qin Zitan, who was sitting beside him: "Even if there is no plan for a counter-offensive in the Grand Governor's Office, Yongjia and Taizhou will both receive reinforcements. Let the situation drag on without seeking to improve, in the end What will happen, Mr. Qin must understand better than anyone else..."

Qin Zitan smiled bitterly, he just sent She Feihu to supervise the battle with Yongjia, and it was not his turn to interfere in the decision-making of the Grand Governor's Mansion, not even She Feihu.

Everyone wants to change the passive defense of the Eastern Front, but how?

In the southern Zhejiang battlefield, the Huaidong Army invested only 25,600 troops and horses, and the Zhejiang-Fujian Army was not at a disadvantage in the total number of troops.

The Huaidong Army's strength in southern Zhejiang, relying on Yueqing City, was concentrated in the villages along the Yueqing Bay, and its transfer was convenient, rapid and concealed. Although at this time the Huaidong Army in southern Zhejiang was mainly using troops against the outer defense villages of Taizhou, no one knew whether the main force of the Huaidong Army in southern Zhejiang would suddenly move to the south and attack the outer defense villages of Yongjia tomorrow.

The troops and horses of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army in southern Zhejiang were scattered in Yongjia and Taizhou. It was necessary to go around three or four hundred miles of mountain roads to realize the transfer of troops. Probe.

As far as the current situation is concerned, even if it is to reluctantly defend Yongjia and Taizhou, the current military strength is far from enough. Otherwise, after the Huaidong Army clears the outer defenses, the Zhejiang and Fujian Army's troops in southern Zhejiang are scattered and trapped in a few isolated cities that are far from majestic, and eventually they will not be able to escape the fate of being removed one by one.

Faced with such a predicament, Qin Zitan and the generals of Yongjia were helpless. Although many generals lost patience and wanted to send their troops out of the city to fight, Qin Zitan knew that the situation was so unfavorable, and if he rushes out of the city to fight, nine out of ten would suffer a disastrous defeat. Compared with attacking the city by force, the Huaidong Army should also look forward to the battle outside the city.

At this time, the guards came in and reported: "Bijiayan, Wushanjian Langyan call the police..."

Wen Tingrui, Qin Zitan and others suddenly stood up.

Bijiayan and Wushanjian are two beacon piers located in the east of Yongjia City by the Governor's Office in southern Zhejiang. They monitor the enemy's situation in the north bank of the Yongjia River estuary, including the south of Yueqing City and Tianshui Village. These two beacon piers burn at the same time. The wolf smoke raised a warning, indicating that the Huaidong Army had a large number of troops heading south from Yueqing City...

The generals hurried out of the council hall, walked to the east of the city, and climbed to the east gate tower. Report: "The Huaidong Army has a large group of soldiers and horses out of Yueqing City and heading for Tianshui..."

Tianshui Village is located on the north bank of the Yongjia River estuary, along with Zhangdu Village on Jiangxin Island and Wuzhai Village on the south bank.

Once Tianshui Village is occupied by Huaidong, Huaidong will be able to calmly remove the obstacles blocking the Yongjia River from the north bank.

At that time, the island village Zhangdu Village in the heart of Yongjia River will not be able to protect itself. Huaidong warships will be able to enter the Yongjia River waterway, and the connection between Yongjia City and Ouhai, Wuxi, Qingtian and other cities on the south bank will be completely cut off.

The generals on the tower looked at each other.

Although they have strengthened the defense of Tianshui Village, in addition to the 2,000 soldiers loyal to the governor's office of Zhejiang and Fujian, there are also more than 1,000 local village soldiers guarding Tianshui Village. In order to prevent the tragedy of Wen Qiao Village from repeating itself, and to prevent the local township soldiers from turning against the water, Wen Tingrui and Qin Zitan forcibly moved the families of the township generals into Yongjia City as hostages.

Although there are 3,000 troops guarding Tianshui Village, and 4,000 elites are stationed in Yongjia City. Wen Tingrui, Qin Zitan and others did not have full confidence in whether they could defend Tianshui Village.

"If Huaidong wants to attack Tianshui, he must first attack Wushanjian. This old man leads his troops to help Wushanjian!" Veteran An Xiajiang asked the battle.

Wen Tingrui glanced at Qin Zitan, but Qin Zitan didn't say a word, so he asked veteran An Xiajiang to quickly order troops and horses to help Wushanjian.

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

Zuo Guangying led his troops out of Yueqing to the southwest and rushed to the top of Wushan Mountain.

Wushanjian is located between Tianshui Village and Yongjia City. There is a land road from Yongjia to Tianshui from the foot of the southern foot of Wushanjian; the Southern Zhejiang Governor's Office has a beacon fire pier at Wushanjian, usually only a team of soldiers guards it.

To attack Tianshui Village, first attacking Wushanjian can cut off the land link between Tianshui and Yongjia City; this can effectively prevent the main force of Huaidong Army from attacking Tianshui Village, flanking the defenders of Zhejiang and Fujian troops stationed in Yongjia. attack.

In order to avoid the cutting and encirclement of Tianshui Village, the Zhejiang-Fujian Army must not give up Wushanjian easily. Zuo Guangying led his troops to the northern foot of Wushanjian, just in time to catch up with An Xiajiang, a veteran of the Zhejiang-Fujian Army, who led his troops to aid Chi.

Under Zuo Guangying's command, there were two brave generals, Li Baidao and Geng Wenfan. They rushed to Wushanjian, Li Baidao led his troops in front, heard the sentry report that Zhejiang and Fujian troops had reinforcements coming from Yongjia City, and galloped to the back with the reins, and saw Zuo Guangying and Su Wenfan, and said: "It's too late to attack Wushan. The top of the mountain, I led my troops to bypass Wushanjian and beat his mother. Considering the distance, we can go to the southwest foot of Wushanjian first to rectify our position; Wenfan went to occupy Tazishan..."

When they meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. The Zhejiang and Fujian troops went out of Yongjia City to aid Wushanjian with more than a thousand soldiers and horses. However, with Zuo Guangying first, there were three battalions of soldiers.

If the Zhejiang and Fujian Army garrisoned in Tianshui Village and Yongjia City can be brought out, the main force of the Southern Zhejiang Army still has 9,000 soldiers and horses ready to fight in Yueqing City, and Tang Fuguan and others can lead them to fight at any time.

The opportunity on the battlefield was fleeting, and Zuo Guangying did not have time to ask Zhou Tong and Tang Fuguan for instructions, and immediately agreed with Li Baidao's suggestion.

Zuo Guangying gave Li Baidao the few hundred armored light cavalry he had at hand to cover the flank, so that he led a battalion of armored soldiers to fight for the favorable terrain at the southwestern foot of Wushanjian, and the reinforcements from the Zhejiang and Fujian troops out of Yongjia City. Conduct field battles; make Su Wenfan go to occupy Tazi Mountain on the northwest corner of Wushanjian, and occupy a favorable terrain for the main force of the Southern Zhejiang Army to enter the battlefield and battle to rectify their positions. The Zhejiang-Fujian Army who came out to join the war in Yongjia City.

It is spring, and the land in southern Zhejiang has warmed up. The mighty Yongjia River and the rolling hills and ridges on the north bank all show the infinite vitality of the land.

Two dragon-like soldiers and horses swayed under the blue sky, white clouds and dazzling sun. At noon after the drizzle, there was less smoke and dust. The sky is colorful.

Only the sentries standing on the top of the ridge to observe the battlefield can clearly see that the two murderous dragons will collide directly at the southwestern foot of Wushanjian.

Most of the soldiers in the battalion under Li Baidao were born in Yongjia, where Yongjia City was slaughtered, and many of their relatives died because of their hardships. ~My heart is also eager to make contributions and establish a career, to compete for military merits and land, and the fighting spirit is boiling and murderous.

The Zhejiang and Fujian troops are the elite in a hundred battles. Since the eastern front adopted the strategy of shrinking defense, they have spent most of their time defending in the walled city. They are impatient and can't wait to get out of the city to fight.

An Xiajiang was originally a brave general in Bamin. For more than ten years before and after the two uprisings, he fought hard to siege cities and pull out villages. There were more soldiers and horses than me in the first battle, but there was no intention to avoid or avoid the edge. After so long, how should you treat the enemy troops coming?"

"Kill your mother!" Thousands of people behind him shouted in an uproar.

In the battle of infantry, the most emphasis is on the formation. When they meet, they usually shoot each other with bows and arrows. Whoever can disrupt and destroy the opponent's array first will basically have the victory.

However, An Xiajiang believes that his subordinates are all Bamin elites, there are many brave generals, and some troops still have an advantage.

Li Baidao believed that the grass-roots military attaches of the New South Zhejiang Army had been systematically trained in the war training school, and their ability to command operations and restrain the troops in chaotic battles was higher than ordinary people.

Neither side had any intention of clearing up their positions, and both wanted to smash the other side first. The two armies, which were billowing with smoke and dust, shot bows and crossbows at each other as soon as they came into contact, but without the slightest pause, they attacked the other side.

In the current clash of infantry, the light cavalry guards of the two armies on their flanks also wanted to attack the opponent's relatively weak flank first, directly hedged, and fought a group. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
