Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 157: Brave general

When the suspension bridge was built, Lin Fu also moved from Fancheng to Huanglongtan to supervise the battle.

Snow fluttered in the sky, the cold wind howled, Lin Bie stood in a big cloak, standing like a rock on the Dragon Claw Rock.

For fear of causing the enemy's vigilance, Lin Fu only looked at the Yellow Dragon Beach, the troops and horses extending westward along the north bank. Lord, more troops and horses are parked in Fancheng, waiting for the suspension cables to be erected here, paved as trestle bridges, to occupy the beachhead on the south bank, and then to fill in here...

"Chen Zhu has crossed the river and went to the south bank to command the battle, and the eight hundred light soldiers in the front have completely occupied Huyatan and Guanyinjian," Huang Zuyu walked over to report the latest developments on the south bank. Cao Chongzhai came, and joined Wuya and Lin who started from Qiangu, with a total of 5,000 soldiers and horses; he wanted to bypass Guanyinjian and attack Shanmenyan by force, but suddenly retreated to the south of Guanyinjian. The south of Guanyinjian blocked me from crossing the river and the soldiers and horses continued to extend south; the enemy Xiangyang has 16 navy warships, mainly squatting warships, and they have not passed Longzhong yet, and there should be three hours before they arrive here!"

"Tian Chang is not slow!" Lin Fu turned around and said to Song Fu and Gao Zongting with a smile.

They have less than 400 armored soldiers in place at Shanmenyan, but the trestle has been paved. As long as the armored soldiers in the south of Shanmenyan can repel the enemy's offensive, they can add two sentries to strengthen their positions. When the enemy navy came from the lower reaches, the three thousand Huaidong soldiers assembled near Longclaw Rock could cross the river, and a single counterattack could tear the enemy army who had stormed Shanmenyan to pieces.

"They want to make amends, but I'm afraid it's too late!" Song Fu said with a slight emotion as he looked at Han Shui, who was confronted by the waves.

The trestle bridge has been paved, and the soldiers of Huaidong lined up and crossed the bridge, entering the opposite bank in an orderly manner.

Although the enemy troops came from the upstream warships the fastest, the ships that the enemy troops assembled upstream were all oars boats that Eli swiftly crossed the river.

Although the constant number of enemy ships came from the upstream and risked their lives to pass the blockade of the crossbow array on the north bank of the Huaidong Army to approach the trestle, they could not stay for a long time in the turbulent current. After passing the short ten-odd breath time, the enemy ship had no way to destroy the high-hanging trestle bridge, and could only shoot dozens of arrows perfunctorily, and could not even cause damage to the Huaidong armored soldiers passing on the trestle. how much impact.

Suspension cables are placed at a height of fourteen zhang from the river, and a trestle is laid, and the soldiers of a capital team stand on it. The lowest point of the suspension is also twelve zhang. This is also in addition to the strength, the rigidity of the wire rope is far superior to that of the general hemp rope.

On the left flank of Longzhaoyan, the soldiers quickly set up a tent that they thought Lin Bie was in the command shed. Lin Bie, Song Fu and Gao Zongting came over. The military attache from the Military Intelligence Division had already laid out the sand table and map, and they were orderly and orderly. The development of the situation in the South Bank is marked on the map and sand table.

Zhao Hu also came from Fancheng non-stop just now, and he didn't even take a breath after entering the camp. Lin Fu asked with a smile, "Is it hard to come all the way?" Then he said, "Fancheng is controlled by Zhou Tong, you Now the forbidden infantry can be adjusted up..."

Zhao Hu led the forbidden battalion infantry to Fancheng last night and had no time to rest. Once Chen Zhuo stood firm on the south bank, more troops and horses would be sent to the south bank through the suspension bridge, completely destroying the eight More than 10,000 enemy troops were entangled and annihilated!

"You ask me if it's hard work, I thought I could take a day off to fight in Fancheng," Zhao Hu rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "But for more than half a month, most of them have been on the road, and there are very few opportunities to kill the enemy. The generals of the battalion are also sullen..."

Zhao Hu, the commander of the forbidden infantry army, was wearing blue armor and wrapped in a crimson shirt to keep out the cold. Compared with Lin Fu, Zhao Hu was much more burly, standing in the tent, like a mountain.

The three brothers of the Zhao family who came from farmers, even Zhao Mengxiong, the youngest, was also a first-level military attache in command. ?"

In Shiqiaoling, there is Ao Canghai, Liu Zhenzhi's, Yu Wencheng's, Zhang Jiheng's, and Sun Zhuang's troops, all of which are developing sharp teeth towards Dengzhou and Xinye. In addition to containing the enemy troops on the north bank, the bigger role is to cover up. The flank of Huanglong Beach.

When the soldiers and horses of Huanglongtan crossed the Han River from Miaotan Ridge and Shilong Ridge to cut the Xianggu Post Road, the soldiers and horses of Shiqiao Ridge blocked most of the enemy troops on the north bank from the periphery of Dengzhou and Xinye.

Lin Fu turned his gaze back to the map, pointed to the valley between Miaotan Ridge and Shilong Ridge on the south bank, and said, "The gap here is not big, and our investment of 15,000 troops is enough to cut off the enemy troops in Xiangyang from fleeing west. The passage of the road and contain the enemy of Gucheng; and the enemy is going to attack Huanglongtan from Zanyang on the north bank. The road is blocked and dangerous. While shrinking," he added, "but Ao Canghai should be more cautious on the Shiqiaoling side, in case Chen Zhihu's troops from Xichuan suddenly come in..." He asked Song Fu and Gao Zongting, "Look at Hu Yu'er's department. When will the navy come up?"

"It can be delayed for another day," said Gao Zongting, "at this time the enemy's vigour has not been lost, and while its land route is sticking to the south line of Guanyinjian, it will inevitably come from the downstream to divert the warships and do everything possible to destroy the suspension bridge. After another day, we should be able to dampen his spirits, and our naval warships should be a little more relaxed after passing the evil spirits..."

Lin Bie nodded and said, "Then tell Hu Yu'er to wait another day at Longzui Mountain, so that he will try the evil ghost crutch after noon tomorrow and enter the Xiangfan Waterway..."

At this time, Huang Zuyu hurriedly walked in and said anxiously, "Chen Shijun said that if the enemy retreated to Guanyinjian, it would be difficult to gain a firm foothold. He used the troops and horses of Shanmenyan to personally lead the attack and wanted to retreat to the enemy south of Guanyinjian!"

"Fuck! I won't skin him after the war!" Lin Fu scolded and threw the charcoal pen on the table angrily, "I told him to go to the South Bank to sit in Shanmenyan and command the South Bank battle. , I just stayed at Longclaw Rock, he didn't give any instructions, he personally pressed all the soldiers and horses to Guanyin's point, do you want me to help him to dispatch on Shanmenyan's side? I'll go to Shanmenyan to clean up the mess for him? Could it be that I can delay him from having a cup of tea?"

"Xu is that Chen Zhijun saw the opportunity to break through the Guanyin tip," Song Fu said in a mediation, "The South Bank can send Huang Zhijun to replace Chen Zuo in the center of Shanmenyan to dispatch, and the troops and horses on Huanglongtan will be dispatched by Zhao Commander... "

Lin Fu thought for a while, Chen Zhuo had all dispatched troops to attack Guanyin Point, and it was not good to order him to be stopped. He could only send Huang Zuyu to the south bank to replace Chen Zhuo, or Zhao Hu to replace Huang Zuyu, and said to Huang Zuyu : "You go to the south bank and immediately take over the post of the Chongcheng Army's first township division army, to guard against Chen Zhu's defeat in the assault; you tell Chen Zhu again, I will remove his army commander position today, and let him lead the soldiers. Go up," he still wanted to say something cruel, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, he doesn't care about that, let him go; tell him to cherish the generals and not use it too much..."

Gao Zongting, Song Fu, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and others in the tent all laughed helplessly.

Chen Zhuo did not send someone to the north bank to ask for instructions, so he used his army of Shanmenyan to attack the enemy of Guanyinjian without authorization. With the idea of ​​​​first attacking and playing first, he led his troops to kill him, even if he wanted to dismiss him. We have to wait until after the war; there is nothing anyone can do about such a general.

Chen Zhe is a tiger general, and rashness is an insurmountable shortcoming of him. When he intercepted Zheng Mingjing's ministry during the Jiangning war, he was punished for rashly advancing and underestimating the enemy, but he can't be demoted and expect him to correct it.

A general like Chen Zhuo is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can break through the enemy like breaking a leather. If you don't use it well, it will lead to unnecessary casualties and sacrifices of the generals.

Of course, although there were only 1,560 troops and horses entering the south bank at this time, and the enemy army numbered 4,000 or 5,000, the enemy army was deliberately retreating to the south of Guanyin Point, and its position was unstable, and the only favorable terrain nearby Guanyin Jian has asked Chen Zhe to send someone to take control first, and Chen Zhe led more than a thousand elite soldiers to make a decisive attack.

Therefore, Song Fu did not recommend sending someone to intercept Chen Zui immediately, but suggested sending Huang Zuyu to the south bank to Shanmenyan to replace Chen Zui in the center, in order to prevent the unfavorable situation of Chen Zuo's attack.

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

Tian Chang, Tong Erdan, Wu Ya and Lin Zheng followed Hu Zongguo's advice and retreated the soldiers and horses that had penetrated between Guanyinjian and Shihutan. There was no possibility of taking down Shanmenyan in a short period of time, so it was imperative to retreat and form a solid formation to the south of Guanyinjian.

Although there are not many Huaidong troops entering Shanmenyan at the moment, the trestle bridge has been paved. Every moment, a group of Huaidong troops walks through the bridge to make up for Shanmenyan, which can destroy the trestle or prevent the Huaidong army from passing through the trestle. It would take three hours for the navy warships to arrive from the lower reaches.

After three hours, I was afraid that three or five thousand Huaidong troops would enter the south bank. Tian Chang knew that he only had three hours to form a formation in the south of Guanyinjian, waiting for Ye Jiluorong to dispatch more troops to come with him. Converging, suppressing the Huaidong Army to break through from Guanyin Point to the south.

Seeing that there were not many Huaidong troops entering Shanmenyan, Tian Chang left behind a battalion of soldiers and horses to divide the left and right wings, and he, Wuya and Lin led the remaining five battalions to the south and quickly retreated.

Tian Chang's deployment was not inappropriate. They retreated to the south of Guanyinjian and merged with Ma Tuhai. It was only five miles away. At most, they would be able to re-condense into dense formations at Guanyinjian in an hour. After trotting southwards for less than two miles, the Huaidong Army, which had already entered Shanmenyan, would suddenly burst out...

Hearing the sound of slaughtering behind him caught in the cold wind suddenly pulling up, Tian Chang stopped his horse and looked back.

The soldiers and horses sent from the rear of the temple to report the abnormality had not rushed to the front. Tian Chang had already seen the Huaidong Army in the south of Shanmenyan, like a stream of iron, and like a tiger rushing towards the rear of the temple on the right flank of Shanmenyan. go.

"Let's form a formation, lean towards the left mountain!" Tian Chang was shocked.

Tian Chang did not expect that the Huaidong Army would be so bold in command of the south bank. At this time, the Huaidong Army who entered Shanmenyan was only one-third of them, and they chose to kill it at this time.

Tian Chang was also caught off guard for a while, so he could only order the soldiers to gather on the low **** on the left flank. If the soldiers and horses at the rear of the hall could not stop the charge of the Huaidong Army, he could still gather the array here, and the consequences would be extremely severe. Deadly, no amount of troops is of any use.

Unlike Tian Chang's panic, Wu Ya and Lin shouted with excitement, pulling the reins and shouting: "Turn around, cloth cone formation, go back with Lao Tzu!" It is difficult to conquer in time, but the Huaidong Army of Shanmenyan came out at this time. As long as they entangled their rear soldiers and horses for a moment, they would be able to lead their troops back to surround and eat the Huaidong Army...

Wu Ya and Lin's 2,000 troops are mainly 1,000 cavalry, and they also have 1,000 foot soldiers. This is also to adapt to the more complicated terrain between Miaotan Ridge and Shilong Ridge. The 2,000 troops and horses he commands do not need to shrink. Display ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Just turn it back and adjust it a little to deploy the attack array.

"No," Tian Chang stopped and said, "The Huaidong Army has made it clear that they will fight hard against our rear soldiers and horses from the north, and the two flanks are surrounded by dense forests and valleys. Pressing it up will only collide with the soldiers and horses behind the palace, causing unnecessary confusion."

"A cowardly fellow," Wu Ya and Lin Cai scolded disdainfully regardless of Tian Chang's higher rank than him, looked at Tong Erdan, and asked, "Tong Erdan, are you sitting and watching Huaidong Army take us We have three times as many soldiers, but we have to shrink the formation here?”

Tong Erdan looked at Hu Zongguo: "Master Hu, ask Wu Ya and Lin to lead their troops to fight, and flank the woods on the flanks of the rear formation to attack the Huaidong Army?"

Hu Zongguo saw Wu Ya and Lin, who were full of beards, with their rebellious faces. They would not be subject to Tian Chang's restraint at all. If they did not follow his wishes, he was afraid that he would lead the army back alone, and Tong Erdan's suggestion was not inappropriate, as long as The soldiers and horses at the rear of the palace can hold on, and they go around from the two flanks, which can indeed give a heavy setback to the Huaidong Army who came out from Shanmenyan, and maybe they can take advantage of the situation to occupy Shanmenyan...

Tian Chang was trembling with anger, Wu Ya and Lin regarded him as nothing, and Tong Erdan only paid attention to Hu Zongguo's opinion.

Hu Zongguo's hesitation, Wu Ya and Lin agreed, and shouted to the brave general behind him: "Dismount from the horse and draw the sword..." According to his temper, it is best to kill directly through the rear of the hall and kill directly to Huai In front of the Eastern Army, but also afraid that Tian Chang would be anxious with him, he dismounted and stood up, and it was also a way to flank through the woods on the two flanks.

In their early years in Yandong, they were accustomed to fishing and hunting in the dense forest, dismounting to fight. Although the impact would be greatly weakened, it was not inconvenient. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
