Lord of the House

Vol 7 Chapter 57: So fast

Gu Siyuan left Tongguan, took Hezhongfu, entered the Huaisi area, selected Jianrui from the refugees, and expanded from more than 200 retinues to more than 2,400 soldiers in the four battalions, plus nearly 6,000 family members of the army.

Fortunately, the Huaisi area has been very mature in the past two years, and has never suffered a military disaster before.

There are more than 2,400 soldiers in the fourth battalion, and there are more than 300 sets of various armors. The total number of bows and crossbows is less than 600, and the soft bows and hunting bows are mainly weak in lethality.

When Yang Pu and Zhao Qinmin went to Tongguan to pick up Gu Siyuan, there were more than 200 good horses with them, which were damaged along the way, and the ordinary mules and horses added later were less than 200.

Fortunately, there are 200 elites who are loyal to the Gu family and can choose from the refugees to their heart's content. Gu Siyuan's four battalions are quite good.

Lin Fu led his troops to Siyang and asked Gu Siyuan to stay in Suining, of course he didn't want any accidents to happen to him.

When he came here this time, he planned to join forces with Gu Siyuan in Suining or Suyu, and he was well prepared. Immediately took out 600 sets of armor, 200 crossbows, 200 crossbows, 400 bundles of arrows, 600 shields, 100 shield chariots, 600 straight-backed steel knives, Mo knives and choppers 200 sabers each, 1,000 steel spears, hemostatic wound medicine, gauze, bandages and other supplies were given to Gu Siyuan.

In addition, fifty war horses and two hundred camel horses were also allocated to Gu Siyuan.

The soldiers of the fourth battalion under Gu Siyuan changed their clothes overnight, and they suddenly felt like a crow turned into a phoenix. The combat effectiveness was improved by two levels, and they suddenly became elite soldiers.

Zhao Qinmin was secretly shocked when he saw it. He did not suggest that Gu Siyuan asked Lin Fu to stay with the soldiers, but asked for some support. They are indeed short of soldiers and armor, but they only hope that Lin Fu can leave them with the soldiers and armor that have been captured in the past few days.

This batch of military resources, plus one or two thousand spears, is enough to equip the four battalions of fine town troops. It is not easy for Gu Wuchen, who lives in Jiangning's Ministry of War, to come up with such armor at once.

Lin Fu's move, on the one hand, can see that Lin Fu has no grudge against this side, and spares no effort to help each other, which is completely worthy of the cultivation and promotion of Tang Haoxin and Gu Wuchen in the past two or three years, and on the other hand, it can be seen that Chongzhou is the best Erxiao County's potential subsurface strength is astonishing.

Jiangdong Zuojun did not expand until after the year, and just recruited 6,000 new soldiers into the guard battalion. Fortunately, the previous seizures were sufficient. Chongzhou's ordnance manufacturing has formed a scale, and it will not be too difficult to take out this batch of armors. Otherwise, this batch of soldiers will be bought from the black market, at least one hundred thousand taels of silver.

They are married to each other. Under the current situation, the Lin Gu family needs to be more closely united. Lin Bing doesn't want to be too stingy and leave any grudges in everyone's heart.

On the other hand, the current Gu Department headed by Chen/Yuanliang has 20,000 transport troops in Qingzhou, but the combat strength of these 20,000 transport troops is quite limited, and they may not even be stronger than the current refugee army, far from being enough to stop the Liang family. The forces expanded to Qingzhou.

After this battle, Gu Siyuan was going to Qingzhou. Without an elite fighting force, it was not enough to curb the ambitions of the Liang family.

In addition, Lin Fu also decided to leave two elite water camps in the Sishui River in the north of Suining. In addition to blocking the Sishui River, he also ensured that Gu Siyuan could escape from Suining if he could not keep it.

Gu Wuchen only had this only son, if Gu Siyuan died in Suining, Lin Fu would not have the face to see Gu Wu.

In addition to reorganizing the third water battalion in Huaisi, Lin Fu also dispatched three sentries from the first water battalion to prepare warships and soldiers from the water battalion when the Changshan battalion went south.

June and July are the East China Sea storm season, and the Heishuiyang route from Chongzhou to Jinhai has also been suspended. Even if Lin Fu had withdrawn all the water camps in the Sisheng line of defense, he was not afraid that the She family would attack Chongzhou by sea. The risk is too great, and they lack a strong ship that can withstand the wind and waves.

On the land route, there is Pingjiang Prefecture in the south of Chongzhou, and the northern Zhejiang defense line presided over by Dong Yuan in the south of Pingjiang Prefecture.

Chongzhou was quite safe at this time. In addition to transferring some of the warships of the Second Water Battalion to Chongzhou, Lin Fu left only one battalion of cavalry soldiers, and almost all the troops that could be transferred were transferred to Huaisi.

In addition to the 6,000 new soldiers of the Guard Battalion, who was commanded by Zhao Hu and stayed behind at Shukou, Lin Biao's troops in Huaisi also included the Jiushao Water Battalion, the Changshan Battalion, 3,000 top soldiers, the Fengli Battalion, 3,000 top soldiers, and the Cavalry Battalion. One thousand soldiers and a number of auxiliary soldiers in the workers' battalion.

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

To give the generals more time to rest and recharge their stamina, Lin Fu planned to send troops south to Siyang to aid Liu Tingzhou after dawn.

In the early morning, Lin Fu put on his clothes and armor, and was about to go to the school grounds to order troops out of the city, when a scout came to report: "A cavalry of the refugee army, about 6,000 people, is heading south from Xuzhou along the Sishui River, and it is estimated that it is less than 30 miles away from Suining. !"

"So fast!" Lin Bing heard the news, looked at Qin Chengzu, Gu Siyuan and the others, and exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Fu, Qin Chengzu and others had calculated before that they started from Suining, and the reinforcements sent by the main force of the refugee army from Xuzhou should be hundreds of miles away. ten miles away.

The refugee army had few cavalry, otherwise Chen Hansan's 2,000 cavalry would not be so precious. The refugee army can have 6,000 cavalry galloping, so it can be seen that it should be the elite fighting force drawn from the main force of the refugee army besieging Xuzhou.

When Lin Bie took Suining, he really stepped on the sore spot of the refugee army.

"Have you ever found out who is the main general?" Qin Chengzu asked the sentry who rushed back quickly.

"The scouts scattered by the enemy cavalry are very wide and dense, and it is impossible to approach the reconnaissance. It is only vaguely seen that the cavalry in the front is wearing red armor." The sentry replied.

"Red jacket girl!" Zhou Pu's eyes lit up and excitedly said, "It looks like there is a head!"

There are many generals above the level of the refugee army. After all, there is such a large base, but there are not many people who can make Zhou Pu excited.

The red jacket girl Liu Miaozhen is not Chen Hansan's opportunistic person.

For the overall situation of the refugee army in Huaisi, Liu Miaozhen would not frown if he did not say that he would kill all his troops, but would sacrifice his own life.

Zhou Pu was excited, but Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu felt it was extremely difficult. If possible, Lin Fu would never want to use the **** corpse mountain of soldiers to fill in the dazzling military exploits.

Although it was only 70 miles away from the calculation, the 70 miles was a one-day journey.

To be able to add 70 miles to the distance, not only means that Lin Su leads his troops to attack Siyang, and can have an extra day of time, but also means that they can have an extra day of safety distance from the main reinforcements of the refugee army besieging Xuzhou. Come.

The key to Lin Fu's entry into Huaisi this time is a quick word.

Fast-fighting, fast-breaking, fast-breaking, fast-forwarding, the refugee army can't take care of the beginning and the end, so that their superior forces cannot be exerted, and their rhythm is completely disrupted.

Liu Miaozhen was able to lead the reinforcements so decisively and quickly, which shows that she or Liu An'er or other generals of the refugee army in Xuzhou might have seen through the "fast" tactics of Jiangdong Zuo Army before last night. In order to make the most of the elite, he also wanted to fight fast, disrupt the rhythm of Jiangdong Zuojun after entering Duhuai, and regain the initiative.

What troubled Lin Fu and Qin Chengzu was not only that the 6,000 cavalrymen led by Liu Miaozhen were the elite of the refugee army, but also worried that Liu Miaozhen had seen through the rhythm of their use of troops this time.

"The girl in the red jacket is likely to bypass Suining instead of fighting, and go directly to Suyu or Siyang!" Qin Chengzu pointed out the key point, their previous battle plan was completely useless by this time, and they had to re-formulate their battle strategy.

Lin Fu touched his chin, frowned and thought, there is not much time left for him to make a decision right now.

"I'm afraid I don't care about Liu Tingzhou now..." Zhao Qinmin said.

Gu Siyuan didn't speak. He had already learned the city government and left the decision to Lin Fu without interfering with his decision.

Yang Pu kept his duty even more.

Lin Fu did not respond to Zhao Qinmin's words: Liu Tingzhou opposed himself everywhere in Huai'an in the later period. Perhaps Liu Tingzhou's death in Siyang was more in line with his interests in stealing Huai'an. What is the difference between sitting and watching Yue Lengqiu, who was destroyed by Shao Wu's army in Jinan?

How will the surviving generals of the Jinzhong Army and Shaowu Army identify themselves?

How will Huai'an, Jiangning, and even the imperial court view this matter? Do they really think that after the Jiangdong Left Army captured Suining so smoothly, they would not have the energy to go to Siyang to save Liu Tingzhou?

"The main force of the refugee army in Xuzhou is not more than 6,000 cavalrymen, and a considerable number of them must be infantry on horseback, and the horses cannot be good horses," Lin Fu said, knocking on the table flatly, "Zhou Pu, you rush to Siyang at a speed of 400 light armor. If you have a chance to relieve Liu Tingzhou, you will attack it by force. The water camp will not be transferred for the time being. Stay in Suining with Mr. Qin, assist Siyuan in defending Suining, and I will lead Changshan. Ying and Feng leave the camp by land and go to Siyang..." He also told Zhou Pu, "If there is an enemy cavalry that bypasses me first, you must not easily engage with them!"

"Understood!" Zhou Pu replied, picked up his saber, and ordered a light cavalry to go out of the city first.

The horses that the Four Hundred Light Cavalry rides are good, and there are horses to be replaced. It is still possible to rush to Siyang before Liu Miaozhen's team. There is no problem at all~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The key is that the number of people is too small. The precious armored cavalry team with only 200 people had to march behind Lin Bie.

Even if the soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army are on the move, they can better resist the impact of the cavalry, but to assist Liu Tingzhou's Huai Army, it is necessary to have a cavalry to cover its flank from the impact of the cavalry of the refugee army. .

The more than 400 armored light cavalry led by Zhou Pu could not be easily damaged.

Lin Fu said to Gu Siyuan again: "It seems that the war horse and camel horse I gave you, I have to borrow it first, and I will give it back to you twice after the war!"

"What did you say?" Gu Siyuan laughed.

Although the Changshan Camp and Fengli Camp led by Lin Fusuo were formed by infantry, there were a large number of mules and horses, and a considerable part of them were actually horse infantry.

The so-called horse infantry, that is, the horse is maneuvering when marching, and when encountering the enemy, it dismounts to engage in battle.

This is also an important guarantee for the high mobility and strong combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong Left Army infantry.

The more than 6,000 cavalry led by Liu Miaozhen could not be pure cavalry, and a considerable part of them must be horse infantry.

If it wasn't for this, Lin Su led 6,000 infantry from Changshan Camp and Fengli Camp to go overland, and he was bitten by the elite 6,000 cavalry soldiers of the refugee army. When they made it to Siyang with difficulty, Liu Tingzhou's body would have rotted away. .
