Lord of the House

Vol 10 Chapter 132: river beach

"Leave the green mountains, don't be afraid of running out of firewood!" Yu Wenshan and his generals hurriedly supported She Feihu, pulled the reins, and asked him to put aside Huaidong's aggressive tactics.

Although the pontoon was still there, it was extremely unfavorable to attack directly when the soldiers of Huaidong captured Yijiang City and stood on the other side of the river. They immediately headed south, looking for shoals from the upper reaches of the Yiyang River or even along the Qingshan River, and it was far more advantageous than crossing the river at this time.

The number of troops and horses intercepted by Huaidong entering the west bank of the Yiyang River was about 10,000 people; it would take two to three days for the main force behind Huaidong to come over. In two to three days, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Huaidong, and they were not able to lay a net of heaven and earth on the west bank of the Yiyang River.

However, the situation is also very obvious. If there are no troops and horses coming to support Qingyang and Qiupu, and Huaidong occupies the terrain advantage of the west bank of Yiyang, six or seven thousand of them think that they can successfully withdraw into Jiuzi Mountain. It is impossible, and something must be done. give up……

"..." She Feihu turned back to look at the exhausted general who followed him westward, his eyes full of blood, and he said in a sad voice, "They are all children of Zhejiang and Fujian, I will abandon them, how can I see Zhejiang and Fujian alone? Father?"

"There is a small castle in Dongyi, you can temporarily guard it..." Luo Wenhu said.

They held the fort and defended it. As long as there was an elite team in the direction of Qingyang to help and suppress the Huaidong Army in Yijiang City, they could safely cross Yiyang and retreat to the west of Jiangxi.

"..." She Feihu shook his head. As for the troops and horses that had already retreated westward to Qingyang, they would go eastward. When they arrived at the mouth of the Yiyang River, it was also the time when the main force of Huaidong's back road came; Even if the camp is a boat against the current, it can reach the mouth of the Yiyang River in two days. Abandoning Jiangning City and not taking it is to avoid a decisive battle with the Huaidong Army. After Zheng Mingjing had cut off half of his troops, he also wanted to preserve his strength. At this time, how could it be possible to fight against Huaidong under unfavorable conditions for the six or seven thousand people here?

Yue Lengqiu led his troops to stay in Chizhou, and the main force of the Huaidong Army had not yet arrived, so he did not dare to fight for his life and lose both the Zhejiang and Fujian troops. If the main force of the Huaidong Army arrives in time, Yue Lengqiu can make a great creation of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army without hurting the fundamentals, how can he be merciful?

"You don't need to persuade me, if you don't dare to fight, then stay behind and **** me!" She Feihu asked Hu Cong to fetch his armor, and put on black armor on the river bank under the sunset...

Staying in the last battle, that is to say, if you can't rush past in the end, you have to surrender to the Huaidong Army to save your life; Luo Wenhu glanced at Yu Wenshan with a guilty conscience.

Yu Wenshan kept silent, took off the saber from his waist, and said to She Wenhu, "Second son, think twice..." He looked at She Wenhu as he spoke, but suddenly stabbed the knife into Luo Wenhu's body from the side. , blood splashed all over his face.

Luo Wenhu died before he had time to struggle.

Yu Wenshan pulled out the knife, knelt before She Wenhu, raised the **** saber above his head, and said, "Please allow Wenshan to open the way for the second son..."

All the soldiers in the imperial camp gave up. Luo Wenhu's death or immortality was not a big problem. She Feihu didn't care about Yu Wenshan killing the generals in front of him. , there is only one **** way to fight today!"

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

Seeing that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops were indeed organizing troops on the other side to prepare for a strong attack, Zhou Pu stretched out his hand and lowered his nose, and said to Zhao Bao in a low voice: "The old guy surnamed Song can't be provoked in the future!" Zhao Bao grinned and said: And Zhou Pu led the cavalry to spread out from the two wings, and let the infantry under the embankment enter the embankment position...

The Zhejiang-Fujian Army left more than 300 defenders in Yijiang City. When the infantry battalion seized the city, they had enough time to destroy the iron cable pontoon at the southern foot of Zhangziling, southeast of Yijiang City.

But if he really wants to cut off the iron rope, She Feihu will lead the remnants to find a way to cross the river south. Zhou Pu led the cavalry camp and Zhang Jiheng's troops, with less than 10,000 people, unable to seal off the west bank of the Yiyang River, which twists and turns for more than 200 miles between Nanling and Yijiang...

Although the Yiyang River is the main river between Jiangning and Chizhou, after winter, the rivers in some places are less than a hundred paces narrow, and the shallowness is not submerged. She Feihu escaped from Jiangning City and captured a large number of horses from Jiangning City. He was very mobile, and it was not difficult to ride across the river from the shallow water.

In addition, there are endless hills and ridges on the west bank of the Yiyang River. It is only 60 to 70 miles away from the deep mountains and dense forests of Jiuzi Mountain. Once the six or seven thousand remnants are scattered by Shefeihu to cross the Jiangxi to escape, Zhou Pu wants to wrap up a round and come to a complete victory. , is very difficult. Furthermore, if the troops spread out, I was also afraid that the Zhejiang and Fujian troops would come out from Qingyang and Nanling, which would increase unnecessary risks.

Only by keeping the pontoon bridge and stimulating She Feihu to lead his troops to cross the Yiyang River estuary, can we fight the battle of annihilation by virtue of the terrain advantages of river beaches and river embankments!

The cavalry on the river embankment spread out to the two wings, and Zhang Jiheng led the soldiers hidden under the river embankment to form an array on the river embankment.

The embankment at the lower mouth of the Yiyang River is a stone pond, and the beach from the river embankment to the ground where the reeds are lying is about 40 feet deep. It is also aware that the remnants of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops came from the pontoon and had to climb the 40-foot-high embankment before they could barely survive. Count on a firm footing in the West Bank.

The only advantage is that the **** on the outside of the river embankment is relatively gentle, far from being compared with the steep city wall; when building the stone pond, the stones are stacked on top of each other, and the layers are tightened in the middle, leaving layers of stones inside and outside. The steps are available for climbing - on the stone pond, which is about 13 or 4 steps wide, and in front of the two pontoon bridges, in a narrow area with a width of 200 steps, you can only call the Huaidong Army to set up a battalion of soldiers, and each vehicle will fly. The contradictory car was pulled up and listed on the outside of the stone pond, forming a crenelated shield wall.

The Zhejiang and Fujian troops first came by the pontoon bridge, and there were also more than 200 cavalrymen who were not afraid of the severe cold, wading across the river directly from the shallow water beaches on both sides of the pontoon bridge. What have you moved. When there was no problem with the pontoon bridge, more soldiers were sent over to line up on the river beach...

After the winter, the Yiyang River becomes extremely narrow, and the water surface at the mouth of the river is more than 100 feet wide, but the river beach is wide, and it is almost five or six hundred steps wide from the Shitang to the water's edge.

The luxury family built a pontoon here earlier, and they also saw that the water here is shallow and flowing, the river beach is firm, and it is easy to stand on. The scorched black river beach, like hell, shows a hideous face...

Zhang Jiheng looked at the scorpion crossbow and ballista under the river embankment behind him, which were as dense as snakes and sharp teeth, and secretly said: If it weren't for these, it would be a bit embarrassing to let the enemy soldiers cross the river to stand on the river beach and then fight without destroying the pontoon bridge.

After almost 2,000 generals crossed the pontoon bridge, She Feihu ordered Yu Wenshan to wear armor and lead the army to attack Shitang. Under the cover of a large shield, the generals of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops who were attacking from the front wore strong armor again. The former even wore an extra layer of leather armor on the iron armor. In order to prevent Huaidong special kerosene, the armor was wrapped outside Wet robes, secretly cuddling, squeezing each other, attacking one step at a time.

The arrows shot by the Huaidong Army's infantry from Shitang were difficult to penetrate the shield armor; and the time was short, and there was no way to prepare enough rolling stones on the Shitang; Later, it shot out, crossed the river embankment, and threw stone bullets and giant crossbows in the middle of the enemy's line.

The scorpion crossbow fires stone bullets, all of which are rounded, each weighing ten to twenty pounds. They are thrown obliquely into the air, and then fall down under the acceleration of gravity. No matter how thick the iron armor is, it is difficult to resist such a powerful blunt blow. If you touch it, you can watch the iron armor and a certain part of the body collapse in an instant, and there are fewer than one person who survives the blow...

The ballista made by Huaidong is similar to the traditional bed crossbow, but the firing mechanism is the same as the scorpion crossbow. Ballistas are more beneficial to be deployed in the rear, throwing huge arrows directly into the depths of the enemy's formation. The arrows fired are as large as spears. Under the acceleration of gravity, they can easily break through thick armor and penetrate the human body.

The scorpion crossbows and bed crossbows, including ballistas, carried by Zhang Jiheng's army did not drag the army forward, and there were only more than forty crossbows that could continue to be used on the battlefield.

However, if the Zhejiang and Fujian troops were to attack Shitang, which was nearly 40 feet high, they would have to attack in a dense formation.

The enemy soldiers were pressed up in layers, and the Huaidong Army's armored soldiers pressed the enemy soldiers under the stone pond.

The screams of the Zhejiang and Fujian soldiers who had shot the giant arrows through their bodies and were unable to struggle on the river beach were mixed in the river wind, like a raging fire, scorching the remnants of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops. heart of.

The twilight is close, the cold moon is like a hook, and the stars floating on the night seem to be dyed blood~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Yu Wenshan gave a discount to the stone bullet, and when he lifted it down, he was submerged for a breath, and he opened his mouth to speak to the luxury flying tiger. Yan, but it was blood foam that spit out - She Feihu's eyes were red, he left the pontoon where he was overseeing the battle, and walked forward in armor and halberd, roaring like thunder, like a beast trapped in the fire, saying: "Huaidong Child, who dares to fight with me?" We greeted him with a rain of arrows like a swarm of locusts...

Zhang Jiheng saw that the enemy's morale had reached its peak, which seemed to be extremely prosperous, but it was actually extremely weak. He immediately sent his generals and soldiers to attack the river beach from the flank; Zhao Bao, who had retreated to the west beach of Zhangziling before, ignored the softness of the river beach. The danger of falling was lost, and dozens of armored cavalrymen wearing horse armor came from the north and rushed to the north wing of the Jiangtan position of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops.

The foot soldiers on the flank of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops struggled to resist for a moment, that is, they did not retreat. The river beach seems to be open, but as the two wings continue to retreat, and the front line is always pressed under the stone pond, unable to attack, the center of the line is gradually crowded and more chaotic.

Under the reflection of the remnants of the cold moon, the positions of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops on the river beach on the west bank finally collapsed.

She Feihu swung his halberd and tried to stop the retreating soldiers, but more and more people in front were pushed back. Even if the soldiers at the center of the formation knew that behind them were the big swords of the supervising team and the cold river, they could only Involuntarily, he was wrapped and stepped back.

Zhou Pu rode on a horse and stood on the river bank at the edge of the battlefield, staring at the center of the enemy's formation. In the twilight, the remnants of the fire were also dimly lit. She Feihu was at the center of the formation, the formation had collapsed, and the two pontoon bridges were too narrow. Even though he had loyal guards by his side, he could not squeeze through the collapse and escape from the pontoon bridge. Zhou Pu soon saw that the place was also in chaos and submerged, leaving only two or three thousand remnants of the Zhejiang-Fujian army on the other side of the river who wanted to escape and had no courage to fight...
