Lord of the House

Vol 5 Chapter 14: encircle

Standing in the golden morning light, the snowstorm stopped, and the snow covered with thick snow was dazzling white, making people unable to see for a long time.

Above and below the stone-built seawall, extending for two or three miles, are the figures of Donglu cavalry, Jiangdong Zuojun and Cangnanzhai soldiers fighting. The white snow, the black armor, the red blood, and the sharp silver blade were all particularly dazzling in the morning light.

Lin Bie led the first battalion to spread his feet across the Cangnan Plain against the blizzard, leading his horse to walk at night. He mainly used the horse's body to block the wind and snow, which was more energy-efficient than riding directly on the horse's back. Under such difficult conditions, Congyang Leling of Xinbei forced nearly a hundred miles to lure that Yanbu to Cangnan.

When they arrived at the seawall and stone embankment in the East China Sea of ​​Xiaobotouzhai, most of the generals and soldiers were exhausted, and Lin Fu also felt that his legs were weak, but the thousands of cavalrymen of Yan Bu were by no means better than them.

This section of the seawall is a stone-built seawall, mainly built by the people of Cangnan to prevent the tide from the sea. Chase along the pond.

No matter how wide the top of the embankment is, there is a limit to how wide it is. Four flying contradictory vehicles will block the seawall tightly. One hundred fifty or sixty crossbows are loaded with arrows, and they are lined up to take turns to shoot forward. Rapidly shooting into the air, Mo knifeman, knife shieldman, and spearman, under the cover of flying contradictory vehicles, counter-charged toward the chasing enemy cavalry.

The cavalry of the Jiangdong Zuo Army was not yet elite enough to be able to intersperse and kill the enemy at high speed on the wide seawall.

Due to the narrowness of the restricted impact surface, a counter-charge on the seawall only needs a single team.

There are also two teams of armored soldiers guarding Lin Fu, and the other armored soldiers and cavalry all lined up to fight with Ao Canghai down the seawall. Let a lot of people be exhausted.

Except for the more than 300 enemy cavalry who wanted to detour from the seawall to outflank the way of the first battalion, the fifth battalion led by Ning Zechen, who had shot out from Xiaobotouzhai, blocked the middle of the fifth battalion. Didn't have time to expand. These eastern cavalry formations were chaotic and crowded, their men and horses were exhausted, and some of them were preparing to boil hot water, so they ate some dry noodles to fill their stomachs to fill their stomachs, and they fought hard. Who would have thought that the overnight pursuit was actually lured into an ambush ring. ? Cao Zi'ang, Zhao Qingshan and Zhou Pu personally led the 2nd, 4th, and 3rd battalions, respectively, to encircle and suppress the enemy cavalry from the east. Hundreds of Cangnanzhai soldiers formed a third-line encirclement on the periphery...

The hungry cavalry had forcibly rushed all night in such bad weather. No matter how the Donglu cavalry was elite in a hundred battles, there were times when their legs were weak.

Lin Su led the first battalion and Nayan's troops to negotiate between Yangxin and Jiyin for five days. Cao Ziang and others led the main force of the Jiangdong Zuo Army to arrive at Xiaobotou Village for three days, and Sun Shangwang came forward. Liaison with Cangnan also insisted on defending the Wuzhai that was waiting for assistance, and gathered four or five hundred Cangnan township soldiers. In Cangnan, the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army not only waited for work and was unprepared to attack, but when the first battalion returned, its strength was close to 4,000. People, three to four times that of Donglu's Yanbu.

Na Yan was standing on the seawall, with the exception of the icy waters behind him, the three sides were already enclosed, and there was no possibility of breaking out.

Only Azige led a small number of cavalry and rushed out before the encirclement was formed, but the 300 clan soldiers he led were cut off by the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Except for a few of Azige who escaped, the casualties were heavy, and the rest were forced to encircle come in.

The Jiangdong Left Army had five or six hundred cavalry on the periphery, and only fifty or sixty exhausted cavalry led by Azig harassing the periphery could not shake the encirclement here. As the Azig people walked with the horses all night, they were all very tired. On the contrary, the cavalry of the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the horses were both in good spirits. On the contrary, the cavalry was able to take advantage of the advantage in numbers to kill the Azigs on the periphery.

Nayan sent the **** waving the flag to send orders, and asked Azig to ask for reinforcements. Na Yan knew that the reinforcements couldn't catch up, they couldn't break out of the siege, and they had to wipe them out here, but he didn't want Azige to sacrifice his life for the slim chance of breaking through.

The generals of the Jiangdong Zuo Army were very cunning. They didn't give them time to breathe. When the encirclement was formed, they used crossbow arrows to shoot them. Moreover, the crossbow arrows had no feathers.

In the array of Jiangdong Zuojun, the few bed crossbows that are slowly moved forward by the cart are even more desperate. The distance from the outer circle to the seaside is not enough for the bed crossbows, which means that each shot of the bed crossbows is not enough. Arrow, there are two or three people who will inevitably shoot through the body.

Jiangdong Zuojun's vehicles are also very unusual. They rarely use flying contradictory vehicles. In the past few days, Na Yan has carefully observed that this Jiangdong Zuojun often fights in groups of four or five, and a flying contradictory vehicle is in Gaodun With the cooperation of three or four groups, it can provide sufficient protection against cavalry attacks. At most, two flying contradictory vehicles are combined together, and there are very few cases where dozens of vehicles are connected to form a vehicle formation.

The tactics are so flexible, and the common soldiers have such a strong sense of combat, how could they be new soldiers? That Yan is still unwilling to believe that the Jiangdong Left Army in front of him is a new army that has only been organized for more than two months.

On the open and unobstructed seawall, wanting to hold on until the reinforcements arrive is undoubtedly a daydream, that Yan Yu who returned Tuzhen said: "Only at this time will we break through, the longer we drag on, the less energy everyone has... …”

"East Manzi is ready to break through..."

The narrow seawall is easy to form an unbreakable line of defense on the north and south sides. Only the wide seawall facing the Cangnan Plain is the only direction that the eastern cavalry can break through. In the front of the unified command, Zhou Pu rode to Lin Fu on horseback, preparing for the Donglu cavalry to stand out from the inside, and there were generals in the second and third lines who were capable of encircling and destroying them.

Lin Fu was sitting on a tree stump, chewing on a flatbread with sweet fruit wine. Sitting here, he could clearly see the deployment of the Yanbu along the pond slope. He saw Sun Shangwang hurriedly approaching, Ask him, "Has the river ice been cut through?"

"It's too thick, the whole riverbed seems to be covered with ice, I'm afraid it won't be chiseled until noon..." Sun Shangwang said.

"Then send someone to tell Cao Zi'ang that he should lead the six sentinel soldiers to stand until noon..." Lin Fu said to Zhou Pu.

Cangnan is close to the sea, the rivers are dry and shallow in autumn and winter, and a large amount of seawater is recharged, so that the river ice layer near Cangnan is not very thick, but this year is particularly cold. Both are thicker, but it is much better than that the entire riverbed in the upper and middle reaches is ice-cold~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are also two people who came along with Sun Shangwang, one of them is the head of Xiaobotou Village and the first view of Cangnan. The head of the Sun family, Sun Fengyi, about forty years old, with strong Kong Wu, came to Lin Bie and clenched his fists and saluted: "Sun Fengyi from Cang County sees Lord Lin..."

"There's not much else in Gyeonggi, and the little seven-level supervisors are definitely worthless, Mr. Sun, don't be too restrictive," Lin Fu invited Sun Fengyi, Sun Shangwang, and a village representative to sit down and talk, "Jiangdong Zuojun has a lot of concerns about Xiaobotouzhai. Sorry, I haven't thanked Mr. Sun yet... Let's not talk about other things for the time being, let's watch us work together to annihilate all the thousands of eastern barbarians, so that the Cangnan fathers and fellow villagers can ask the court for credit."

Sun Shangwang squinted to look at the sea pond in the distance. Nearly a thousand Donglu cavalrymen were densely scattered on the side of the sea pond.

Since the Donglu cavalry broke through six routes and plundered, except for the battle of Yang Zhaoqi's Gaoyang, where the Donglu cavalry killed and wounded thousands of people, the officers and soldiers have rarely recorded more than 1,000 enemy annihilations. After all, the battle of Gao Yang was a major defeat for the imperial court, and 20,000 elites went in. If Lin Fu was able to successfully annihilate most of the Eastern barbarian cavalry, it would be a great achievement.

What's more, many of the thousands of cavalry soldiers were king tent soldiers who were considered proud by the Donghu people. There were only 9,000 guards in the Donghu King's tent. If 400 or 500 people died all at once, even the head of Dongmanzi would probably feel distressed for a while.

Sun Fengyi said respectfully: "Your Excellency is really humble..." Jiangdong Zuojun, who can lead an independent army, can annihilate more than a thousand eastern prisoners with courage and ability in this icy, snowy and cold weather. All seven rank supervisors.

Lin Bie smiled slightly. At this time, the Donglu cavalry surrounding the seawall began to move and began to break through. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
