Lord of the House

(asking for a red ticket)

Under the darkness of the night, the horses trotted, and thousands of war horses trotted together with the sound of their hooves, like a big tide coming from the river bank.

Zhao Bao rode his horse to Chen Zhe and said, "The forbidden cavalry Zhao Bao has been ordered by Ao to come to General Chen to fight and pursue the enemy..."

"You son of a turtle, it's a pleasure to be chased down with cavalry," Chen Zhe looked at Zhao Bao with a bit of envy, dancing the whip in his hand, and said, "The front is Li Baidao, you send someone to contact him, but don't put the Heads are cut off..."

Since there were more than 100,000 defeated enemies from Huangpi to the north, these enemy soldiers were clustered in clusters, and they were all over the mountains and fields. To the north of Huangpi, the terrain is relatively complex. If the Huaidong Army infantry chasing is too scattered, it will bring many unnecessary casualties, and there is no way to maintain the lethality and penetrating power of a sharp knife.

After the enemy's line of defense was completely defeated, Ao Canghai ordered the troops to use the battalion as a unit to organize troops to pursue in depth, but the speed of the infantry's pursuit in depth with the sentinel as a unit was naturally still not as fast as dispersion. Enemies fleeing.

Moreover, once the enemy soldiers are told to retreat to the reserve line of defense first to gather the defeated troops, they can in turn further suppress and block the pursuit of the Huaidong Army. This is also the fundamental reason why the enemy can be defeated in a field battle, but the annihilation of the enemy is often not ideal.

In the predetermined plan, the Chaishan ambush will intercept the defeated enemy at the front line of Fancheng and Zaoyang, but the defeated enemy will flee to Shicheng on a large scale along the terrain. If the enemy is called to defend Shicheng, and then withdraw from Shicheng to the west bank of the Han River, it will not be conducive to the large-scale annihilation of the enemy army on the east bank of the Han River by the Huaidong Army, and it will not be conducive to the later battle.

That's when riding camps come into play.

There were four cavalry battalions attacking and chasing. They were cast in three directions and controlled by Chen Zhu, Yu Wencheng, and Zhang Gou respectively. The cavalry mainly included the flanks of the chasing infantry battalion, and cooperated with the infantry battalion to organize fleeing enemies along the way. Disperse them, quickly intersperse them to the detours before escaping, and block the passage of the enemy troops to Shicheng and Xiaochang, so as to ensure that more routs will be blocked in eastern Hubei to be captured or killed, without losing the opportunity to escape. To Stone City…

The other two cavalry battalions were controlled by Yu Wencheng and Zhang Gou, and they mainly covered and defeated the enemy repeatedly afterward; Zhao Bao would lead the two battalions of fine cavalry and cooperate with a brigade of horses and infantry under Chen Zui to quickly intersperse in the direction of Shicheng, even if they could not take advantage of the chaos. Shicheng, also at the southwestern foot of Dahong Mountain, before entering the passage of Shicheng on the east bank of the Han River, try to intercept the defeated troops as much as possible.

Because the generals who entered the battle at dusk had to stop and rest temporarily; the generals on the top of the second line broke through the depth of more than ten kilometers to the north bank of the Baita River. Zhao Bao led more than a thousand light cavalry, and soon Pass through the perimeter of the Huaidong Control Front.

Zhao Bao, surrounded by dozens of cavalry, galloped up a gentle **** and looked north.

The sky is covered with light clouds, but the night is not dark. Under the night, between the mountains and fields, the herds of beasts who have defeated their enemies among the wormwood and fled north in fear of locusts cannot see the edge.

"Hahaha..." Thinking of the indulgent slaughter that was about to happen, Zhao Bao and the surrounding generals were bubbling with blood, roaring and shaking the forest, as if issuing a final warning to the fleeing prey ahead.

Li Baidao rode his horse over, seeing Zhao Bao excitedly slapping his sword on the saddle, and said very unhappily: "Come to the lord tomorrow to report, ten heads of the battalion can only be worth one of ours, It's reasonable..." Although his troops were riding on horses, they still had to dismount to fight when they encountered an enemy, and they couldn't catch up with the light cavalry, wielding a sword from behind to cover up the enemy and defeat the enemy.

"It's all said that Li Baidao is careful, and it's true," Zhao Bao laughed, pointing at Li Baidao and smiling, "When we open the way for you, and before the enemy is defeated, I'm still afraid that your swords and spears will drink. Are you not full of the blood of your enemies?"

Li Baidao said: "Assuming you are knowledgeable and interesting, attack!"

Zhao Bao made the cavalry around him blow the horn, and the dark horn sounded along the grassy slope. The cavalry scattered on the two wings of the grassy **** formed two conical arrays, and attacked the enemy between the wormwood and the grass in front of them. past.

Some of the defeated enemies and some clever ones set fire to the wormwood in the field, but the fire just started, and the fire was not big, and it couldn't stop the Huaidong armored light cavalry from behind.

When chasing and killing the enemy, Huaidong's standard saber has a better killing effect. The long, narrow and light blade and the sharp blade can attack from the side and back, and slash it with a single knife, it can bring out a scorpion. The rain of blood knocked a fleeing enemy to the ground.

Seeing that the enemy was defeated one by one, one by one, the armored light cavalry was killed and cut over from the rear, no wonder Li Baidao and the others were "jealous".

If you really want to calculate it with the heads cut off, the four battalions of light cavalry cover the past, fearing that they will capture more than tens of thousands of heads, and the efficiency of chasing and defeating the enemy is completely incomparable to the infantry.

Of course, the purpose of Zhao Bao's two battalions of armored light cavalry was not to cut down more defeated enemies, but to cooperate with Li Baidao's 3,000 elites to quickly cut out a passage between the defeated soldiers and quickly interspersed with Shicheng.

Although Li Baidao's troops were formed by foot battalions, they were equipped with riding horses when chasing the enemy, that is, the horse foot army. As long as Zhao Bao leads the cavalry to cover the flank, they can quickly pass through the defeated soldiers and directly kill Shicheng three hundred miles away...

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

Xiongjiagang, the main business of Eastern Hubei's military horses, was already a sea of ​​Huaidong soldiers at this time.

Yu Pijiang hid in the crevice behind the grass in panic, but the Huaidong soldiers who searched the mountain were unexpectedly careful, and they almost had to search every inch of the mountain. Yu Bijiang held a protective saber in his hand, his teeth were trembling, his arms trembled like a sieve, and he watched the two Huaidong soldiers touch him. After all, he didn't dare to resist, he threw the saber and shouted, "I surrender. !" He pushed the two Huaidong soldiers who touched them to the ground, chewing on the soil with the smell of grass, struggling and shouting: "I am Yu Bijiang, the son of Yu Xinyuan, the deputy minister of the political affairs hall. Catch it, I want to see the privy envoy..."

Surrounded by dozens of cavalry, Zhang Gou galloped up to Xiongjiagang, overlooking the mountains in the northwest of Xiongjiagang. The mountains and plains were full of defeated enemies. According to the plan, the frontal advance from the Baita River was one step faster than here, so as to cut off more enemies. The escape channel along the Han River.

The Huaidong Army on the Changxuanling side also began to pursue the depths, forming several black iron currents in the night, like sharp knives, stabbing towards Xiaonan.

Xiongjiagang, once the main business of the Yanhu Edong army and the large tent of the Yanhu pseudo-given Minwang Shewenzhuang, has now been completely occupied by the second town division of the Changshan Army, but there are still some sporadic enemies hiding in the valleys.

Although Xiongjiagang could not be said to be absolutely safe, but standing on Xiongjiagang, he could look at the mountains and fields in the direction of Xiaonan, and he could better command the troops and horses to chase and destroy the defeated soldiers in the dark. Zhang Gou naturally took him. The command post was moved to Xiongjiagang. This is also the reason why the Huaidong Army searched the mountains so meticulously.

More than a dozen soldiers came over with a person bound and said, "Reporting to the army, this person claims to be the son of the deputy minister Yu Xinyuan..."

"Bring it here." Zhang Gou said.

Zhang Gou knew that one of Yu Xinyuan’s sons disappeared during the war in southern Huinan. It is estimated that he was kidnapped by the Zhejiang and Fujian troops at that time. When Emperor Yongxing returned to Jiangning, the ministers pushed Wang Xueshan out as a surrogate ghost, so that Yu Xinyuan also escaped the responsibility of defeating Huinan. , I didn't expect to catch Yu Xinyuan's son at this time, it's really interesting.

Zhang Gou didn't recognize Yu Bijiang either, so he just had someone pull Yu Bijiang up and see that he was wearing the official uniform of the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. You're welcome," the voice became cold, and he instructed left and right, saying, "Take off Young Master Yu who has surrendered to the enemy, and take him and the big fish to serve him to the camp. Tell Zhaohushan camp to take care of him. Screening, don’t give people the opportunity to pretend to allow Young Master Yu, and don’t make Young Master Yu suffer too much grievance…”

As long as Yu Bijiang didn't die in the chaos of the army, he didn't care too much about the others. He bowed to Zhang Gou again and again and saluted: "Thank you General for not killing! Thank you General for not killing!" ?

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

After Chen Zui, Yu Wencheng, and Zhang Gou's command posts broke through the defense line, they chased and annihilated the enemy in the depths, while Zhao Hu and Su Pinxiao led their troops westward along the south bank of the Baita River to capture Hanjin City.

When they arrived at the east of Hanjin City, the defenders of the West Wingzha Camp of the Baita River Line of Defense also abandoned their camp and fled north, while Yang Xiong in Hanjin City fled first, leaving behind a wolf.

In the later period, Yang Xiong led the guarding of Hanjin City and the West Wingzha Camp with 25,000 troops and horses, of which 8,000 were navy troops, which were used to block the Hanshuikou.

However, Yang Xiong led his troops out of Dongting Lake to invest in extravagant families, and led 20,000 pirates and a similar number of families. After the luxury family abandoned Jiangzhou and retreated to the north, Yang Xiong also led his family across the river and fled to the north bank. Shewenzhuang entrusted Yang Xiong to guard Hanjin, and Yang Xiong settled his family in Hanjin City.

In the later period, Shewenzhuang continued to send navy troops and warships from Yang Xiong to replenish Shicheng in the upper reaches of the Han River, as well as Xiangyang and the navy in the upper reaches, which reduced the scale of the navy in Hanjin to about 8,000. In the later period, Yang Xiong could only use sunken ships and hidden piles to block the Han Shuikou, losing the ability to enter the Yangtze River from the Han Shuikou to fight against the Huaidong Water Camp, and the total number of warships in Hanjin dropped to less than 200.

When Yang Xiong got the news that Chaishan ambushed troops attacked Suizhou at dusk, he knew that the situation was over, so he decided to abandon Hanjin and flee north along the Hanshui. At that time, there were nearly 60,000 defenders in Hanjin and Baitahe West Wingzha Camp, plus the generals and soldiers in Hanjin City.

Yang Xiong only had 200 boats in his hands, and the last 20 large boats of more than 200 stone were all transferred to Shewenzhuang two days ago. Ten thousand soldiers and civilians are loaded on ships?

In the end, Yang Xiong only had time to pack the family members of his relatives and main trusted generals on board, and led 8,000 soldiers and horses of his direct line to escape from the waterway first, while the remaining 16,700 soldiers and horses and a total of about 30,000 family members, Yang Xiong had completely ignored them and let them escape from Hanjin to the north.

A hasty and lawless retreat soon turned into a rout. Even Yang Xiong's army and horse, who fled north in a hurry by water, were too frightened and panicked. When boarding the ship, they fell into the water and drowned because of their rush to be the first. Several ships even collided and sank.

Yang Xiong blocked the Hanshui branch mainly by using sunken ships and hidden piles. However, shipwrecks and hidden piles cannot block the Hanshui waterway without leakage.

In fact, there are still a lot of gaps in the fork of the Han River, and some small boats can only shuttle through it.

It's just that in the upper reaches of the blockade, the enemy's water battalion is heavily guarded, and the Huaidong Army's water battalion sends a small group of warships to infiltrate, which will not play any role, and will be scattered and eaten by the enemy, adding unnecessary of casualties. At this time, the enemy army smashed away, abandoned the Hanjin open space, and the enemy water village behind the blockade was also caught in a raging fire when the enemy retreated.

There is no blockade of enemy warships upstream, and large warships above the Jiyun level of the Huaidong Army cannot get in through the blockade of the Han River. , seven or eight ships passed through the blockade and docked at the wharf outside the west city of Hanjin.

It is a pity that only these few warships and five or six hundred water battalion soldiers entered the Hanshui waterway, and they were not able to form combat effectiveness.

Zhao Hu envoy Su Pinxiao immediately organized the army and the people to clear a channel for the Jiyun-class warships to enter the Han River.

The sooner the main force of the water camp enters the Han River, it means that more enemy troops on the west bank of the Han River can be intercepted and annihilated, in order to avenge the monstrous blood feud accumulated since the fall of the Central Plains.

The west bank of the Hanshui River in Hanjin is located at the mouth of the Hanshui River into the Yangtze River. A large area of ​​the land belongs to the Hanshui alluvial plain. The formation of large lakes, swamps. The water in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is very urgent, making the northwest corner between the Yangtze River and the Han River a famous flooded area in history, and also the northwest area of ​​Wuhan in later generations. It is not a good idea to march north after entering the camp. place.

The main force of the Huaidong Army must cross the Han River and enter the west bank of the Han River to pursue the enemy on the west bank. It must avoid the lake area at the northwest corner of the Han River and the Yangtze River. The suitable crossing point must go northwest all the way to the territory of Changlin County. .

Zhao Hu's troops, as the first soldiers and horses to enter the west bank to chase the enemy in the plan, had to go northwest first, enter the territory of Changlin, and wait for the water camp warships to enter the Hanshui waterway, but at this time they just went to pursue the convoy from Hanjin. The enemy fleeing north.

Zhao Hu led Supin Xiao to stay in Hanjin until Ge Cunxiong led the main force of the water camp to come to Huihui. It was already early morning on the 22nd when he led his troops to bypass Hanjin and head north.

The sky is white and bright, and the mountains and plains are full of abandoned families and desperate and almost collapsed enemies... My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
