Lord of the House

(The first one is more late, I wish brothers and sisters a happy Valentine's Night!)

The bright moon lit up the night sky like a wheel, and Su Tingzhan stood on the seawall and looked at the silver waves of the sea. The eldest son had already left Hecheng secretly and returned to Chang State. Although the eldest son was supposed to be in charge of military affairs on the northern front before he left, Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and other leading generals might not be willing to accept his restraint.

Su Tingzhan knew very well that Cheng Yiqun and others had always regarded themselves as the second young master. Although they did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the eldest son, after the eldest son left Hecheng, they couldn't hold back.

It goes without saying that Shu Qingqiu and Lin Fu had a feud for extermination of their clan. In the afternoon, he led the army to test the strength of the Jiangdong Zuo army in the west garrison of Hecheng; Cheng Yiqun also hoped to take advantage of the Jiangdong Zuo army's lack of sailors on the northern front to concentrate warships. , block the Yanyun River, establish a position on the east side of the garrison to strengthen the confrontation, and suppress the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army's northern line on the south bank and cannot move. .

Su Tingzhan was quite jealous of Lin Fu, not because Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Zuo Army to the north to win four battles and four victories, but because he was rock-solid and unstoppable against Lin Fu in Jiyang City last autumn. The image of invincibility is deeply felt - it will be the courage of the soldiers, not to mention that the Jiangdong Zuojun's combat power is not weaker than that of the Jin'an old soldiers, even if the Chongzhou defenders are new recruits, the will is firm in Linfu. , Under the command of the generals who are wise and scheming, and who are supported by the generals, extraordinary combat effectiveness will also erupt.

However, Su Tingzhan did not intend to stop Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others from going their own way, not to mention that he wanted to lure Quan Ciqing into the bait, the action here must not be small, and besides, Cheng Yiqun, Shu Qingqiu and others were the ones to gather the troops of the Hecheng Fortress. His subordinates are the main subordinates, if there is any mistake, even if he has to take some responsibilities, it will weaken the potential power of the second son, how can he forcefully interfere and make people unhappy?

Standing on the seawall, Su Tingzhan turned to look at the garrison where the Jiangdong Left Army was stationed. The bright moon was in the sky, and five or six miles away, he could see the faint shadow of the garrison. He couldn't help thinking: at such a close distance Why did Lin Fu build such a strong fortress?

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

The estuary of the Yunyan River was heavily silted up, and only single-deck galleys with shallow drafts could enter and exit unimpeded.

Cheng Yiqun connected the two galleys together to form a horizontal boat with a length of eight feet and a width of four feet.

Shu Qingqiu stepped onto Cheng Yiqun's boat, the armor on his body clanged, reflecting the icy moonlight, blown by the night wind, and chilling around him, before he knew it was late autumn.

"What is the situation of Jiangdong's left army?" Cheng Yiqun asked when Shu Qingqiu stepped onto the boat accompanied by his second son, Shu Shanyue, and exchanged courtesy with him.

"The one who came to help in the afternoon was the cavalry battalion, with more than 800 horses, 600 or 700 infantrymen who came at dusk, and 4500 soldiers who were scattered. It is estimated that the fallen troops from Hecheng were gathered here," Shu Qingqiu said. " The Second Young Master estimated that Lin Fu had five or six thousand troops in his hands, and he was correct. His navy had to set up defenses in Jiangmen, and he also had to keep some maneuvering troops in the base camp. There were at most two thousand soldiers who could really assemble the northern front to fight us. There are many people, and the rest are many people, brave soldiers, and strongholds. There are many people, but they are not intimidating. I really don’t understand why Su Tingzhan is so timid...”

"I'm afraid they will be smashed under the city of Jiyang," Cheng Yiqun smiled slightly. In addition to the scattered troops that invaded the Huainan Salt Fields, the troops they had assembled in the Hecheng Army Fortress had already exceeded 3,600 people, twice as many as the Jiangdong Zuo Army. With the troops assembled on the northern front, I really can't figure out why Su Tingzhan is so timid, "Since he doesn't want this credit, then we'll get it all back..."

Cheng Yiqun did not suffer from Lin Bie's hand. On the contrary, Cheng Yiqun followed Qin Zitan to invade Xisha Island and killed more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians. It can be said that Lin Bie suffered a big loss in his hands. Cheng Yiqun did not feel that Lin Bie How dazzling is the aura of Fubei Shangqin King's four battles and four victories to him.

"Second Young Master also seems to be interested in going to sea. The last time Master Qin came over, did he tell you what he meant?" Shu Qingqiu asked, "If Second Young Master also goes to sea, we don't need to rely on others. Now is a good time. It's because we have a lot of men and horses, but we have to suffer from someone Su's bird's arrogance..."

"I have already sent someone to go to Jiangning. The second son has his own decision," Cheng Yiqun said. There are two lines, north and south. Although the southern line is the main line, the northern line is not weak, and most of them are loyal to the second son. Soldiers and horses are indeed a good opportunity for the second son to sneak out of Jiangning and go to the sea to fight against the eldest son. It’s just that their subordinates can only play side drums and can’t make up their minds for the second son. It is forbidden to discuss casually below." It is not just a matter of internal power struggle in the luxury family, but the second son is still in Jiangning, and the leak of the news will put the second son in an extremely unfavorable and passive situation.

"I'm all old, so I can save this matter." Shu Qingqiu said while stroking his beard.

At this moment, there was a commotion in front of him. Shu Qingqiu stood up and looked over. No matter how good the moonlight was, there were quite a lot of campfires. There were only three or four hundred steps away, and he could only see people crossing each other. People come to harass people, it is really annoying, they relied on the speed of the horse, they ran away, and they spread their legs to chase, but they couldn't help them..."

"Be careful," Cheng Yiqun said, "it seems to be harassing, stop our department from building a wall in Nantan, but we must prevent him from being fake and real. If he is negligent, give them a fake cavalry show and force them to charge. , it's really choking..."

"I'll tell you later..." Shu Qingqiu said, they have the advantage of the boat division to cut off the salt-transporting river, but the Jiangdong Zuo Army has the advantage of cavalry on the northern line, which restricts their infantry from moving too far away from the river bank. , He and Cheng Yiqun stood at the bow of the boat and watched the Jiangdong Zuo Army harassing the river beach position. Shu Qingqiu frowned slightly, "The harassment seems to be intensifying, is it possible that the pig herders have the courage to attack my river beach position?"

"This Shuzi is conspiracy and treacherous, it must be guarded against," Cheng Yiqun couldn't help but tighten his heart. After all, Lin Fu's reputation was there, and he couldn't bear to despise him. He said to Shu Qingqiu, "Go to the ship formation on the west side and watch, I am here. Look. Beware of them using fire, and also preventing them from sending water ghosts to dive and scuttle boats. As long as there is no problem with the boat formations on both sides, they will not be afraid of them hitting the river beach formation. The pig herds really want to fight us here. Afraid of him?"

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

Lin Bie wore blue armor and a crimson cloak to observe the pirates' positions on the east side.

About a thousand pirates formed an formation on the river beach, and rammed earth on the river beach with crossbars, horses, antlers and other materials to build a simple wall that was as high as the chest. Seventy or eighty pirate boats were divided into two places, each on the side of the river beach formation. Afterwards, they each took out several boats and connected them to the river bank with pallets to build flank positions, and together with the pirate boats behind them, they jointly covered the two flanks of the river beach position.

This kind of deployment is much more law-abiding than when Lin Bie led the cavalry back in the afternoon, so that the troops sent here to harass him can only attack his beach position from the front, with little effect.

"In any case, after dawn, we must formally organize a powerful frontal offensive to attack its beach position," Lin Bie said briefly and forcefully, "How to deploy the troops involved, before dawn, you must take a detailed give me a plan..."

Lin Bie's eyes were bright, staring at Zhou Pu, Zhou Tong, Hu Zhicheng, Liu Zhenzhi, Wang Chengfu and others.

In the early hours of the morning, only two thousand soldiers landed at Hecheng Port. At this time, there were nearly three thousand soldiers who had left the Hecheng army and gathered on the east side to face off here. Lin Fu estimated that there were more than 1,000 Kou soldiers who stayed at the Hecheng Army Fortress, and it was only five or six miles away from here.

There are about 2,780 people, including the defeated soldiers and the brave people gathered here, but there are only 1,400 elite soldiers in the Chongcheng Infantry Battalion and the Cavalry Battalion.

At least in terms of force comparison, the Kou soldiers had already occupied a considerable advantage on the northern front.

In order to make up for the lack of strength, Lin Fu had already sent someone back to Chongzhou at dusk to give orders to Ning Zechen to lead Fengli Camp to come to the aid of the night, and he was expected to arrive at dawn. The Jinghai battalion had already rushed to the waters near Jiangmen Island to assemble. In addition to the more than 1,000 township soldiers belonging to the county barracks, there were only 100 personal guards and more than 300 female battalion female soldiers left behind at the Zilang Mountain Base Camp.

Investigating Sitian can also use the name of the bandit case to suppress opponents from daring to speak up. Investigating public land has offended almost all the big households in Chongzhou County. At this time, Lin Fu was worried that big households with private soldiers would take the opportunity to attack. The war on the side cannot be delayed for too long, and there must be a staged victory to suppress all kinds of crises again.

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

After a night of continuous riots, the sky was white at dawn, and the Jiangdong Zuo Army officially launched an offensive against the simple position built by the East Sea pirates on the west beach of Hecheng. Liu Zhenzhi first led the armored soldiers from the southwest to attack the river beach position of the pirates.

Weapons such as flying contradictory carts and bed crossbows, which played a huge role in the battle of the King of Qin in Yannan, were also incorporated into the formation of armored soldiers and approached the Kou soldiers. Use the shield car and large shield as cover to clear the obstacles outside the Kou soldiers' wall, and use the crash car to directly hit the south corner of the wall.

The fortress of the Kou soldiers on the river beach was only built overnight under constant harassment. How could there be any solidity at all? After being hit by the rushing cart seven or eight times, it collapsed suddenly. The archers converged with six crossbows placed on the wheeled cart to shoot at the gap, suppressing the blockage of the Kou soldiers.

The Kou soldiers were also very tenacious in their resistance. A group of Kou soldiers first rushed out from the south gate of the wall and attacked the right flank here, containing and weakening the attack of the Jiangdong Left Army on the gap. Wooden fences and boats forcibly blocked the gap.

The attack of the Jiangdong Zuo Army was so fierce at the beginning, and Su Tingzhan, who was behind the Hecheng Army Seiliu, was also quite surprised. With a team of guards, he came to watch the battle by land on the south bank.

Although Su Tingzhan hoped that Cheng Yiqun and Lin Fu would suffer both, so as to weaken the power of the second son, but he never hoped that Cheng Yiqun would easily defeat Lin Fu, and the fierce offensive of the Jiangdong Zuo Army was far beyond his expectations.

The east side of the river beach position has not been blocked by the Jiangdong Zuo Army~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In fact, they have the advantage of warships occupying the river, and the Jiangdong Zuo Army can't block the flank. Su Tingzhan boarded Cheng Yiqun's horizontal boat. Two piles of wolf smoke were burned on the garrison not far away, and the straight plumes of smoke shot straight to Yunxiao, as if calling for reinforcements from a distance...

"..." Su Tingzhan's heart trembled, inexplicably believing that Lin Fu had full confidence in the offensive launched by the river beach position this time, but he didn't know which link went wrong.

Cheng Yiqun and Shu Qingqiu wanted to confront Jiangdong's left army with a tyrannical attitude, but Su Tingzhan did not stop him. Apart from other factors, at least he also believed that the arrangement of Cheng Yiqun and Shu Qingqiu at this time was no problem, and there was no big loophole for Lin Fu. Take advantage of.

"Humph!" Cheng Yiqun felt a little guilty in his heart, but he didn't believe in evil, he gritted his teeth and said, "The sudden release of the wolf smoke is just to disturb our army, General Su, look ahead, give him this wolf smoke, and our army will hesitate. , they have already taken the opportunity to kill a lot of people. Since General Su personally came to sit in town, I will go ashore to supervise the battle. I don't believe that Lin Fu can invite any reinforcements in this short day and night! The watchtower can be seen twenty miles away, even if there are soldiers in ambush, it will not be too late for our department to shrink the front!"

"No, it's up to you to continue to sit here, I'll go back to the Hecheng Army Fortress," Su Tingzhan said flatly, "The boat division of the Jiangdong Zuo Army may have gone to sea at night, but my sentry was too late to send back the general's sentiments. The beacon sent the message, probably to inform the navigator to take my back. Although there are many shoals and silts near the sea, the Hecheng Port is conducive to the appearance of large ships. The navigator does not fight with me, but it is possible to attack the Hecheng Port. The Hecheng Army The fortress must not be lost, I have to rush back immediately - once the boat division is confirmed, you must lead your troops to recover, return to guard the Hecheng military fortress with me, if you violate your order, don't blame me for being merciless..."
