Lord of the House

Vol 11 Chapter 44: Crisis I don't know

When the dam collapsed and the lake was released, the lower mouth of Taowu Pass was also a mess, but in the camp to the south of Taowu Pass, the halberds were like forests, the armor was like scales, and the generals and soldiers were all sitting on the ground on the school ground. Seeing the cavalry team galloping down the mountain, Chen Zhu subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tightened the straps of his pockets, and turned around and shouted, "Guys, take out your screaming spirits!"

The generals were ordered to stand up one after another, on the open school grounds, like a rippling lake blown by the breeze.

Lin Bie, surrounded by the cavalry, rushed into the Taowu Pass camp with Fu Qinghe, Zhou Pu, Gao Zongting and others, and watched the generals who had been waiting on the school ground for a long time. The high platform made of rammed clay from Shangling, untied a corner of the collar, holding the horsewhip in his hand, watching the elites of the Fourth Brigade of the First Town of the Chongcheng Army secretly transferred from the Litang camp, and said loudly: "The key is the head. I have transferred you from Litang and have been here all the time. You have no part in the battles at Litang, Jawkou, and Jiahe. I heard that you all have opinions. Your general, he is always there. The big tent ran away, complaining that he was a 'city-level tiger', not a 'denying tiger'. Chen Zhe didn't reason with me before, but this time he learned to tell me a lot in order to fight. Waiting for the generals, guarding the family and the state, calming the land and pacifying the chaos is a duty, throwing one's head, pouring blood, and wrapping a body in horse leather is also a supreme honor, and it is a shame to be nested in the camp. Do you think what Chen Zhe said is reasonable?"

"The original head is thrown, and I wish to shed blood!" The generals and soldiers shouted loudly.

Lin Bie held the saber on his waist with one hand and the whip with the other, and continued to say, "I said these big things, this kid Chen Zhu also threatened me that he wouldn't fight him again, so he resigned from his post and went to Be a **** for Tiangu Zhang Gou! I'm here now to tell him that the rebels who trapped the people of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi are fleeing from Hengshan and fleeing westward along the banks of the Xinjiang River. I don't want him to do anything' Dengcheng Hu', I want him to lead you to do 'Intercepting the Land Rover', to be the 'blocking tiger', to do the 'closing the door'! Generals, are you willing to follow him to throw your head and shed blood!"

"I am willing to throw my head, and I am willing to sprinkle blood!"

There will be a big battle, and Chen Zhe is also full of blood, and his leopard-like eyes shine through strangely, as if a hungry beast is trapped in a cage, waiting for someone to help him open the door of the cage.

"Chen Zhu, come to the stage for me!" Lin Fu waved his whip at Chen Zhu and said loudly.

Chen Zhu sorted out the placket, laces, and swords, and took the stage to receive orders.

"I hereby order Chen Zhuo, the divisional army of the first town of Changchong City, to lead his troops to the west by boat, and find an opportunity to land between Guixi and Hengfeng, in order to defeat the rebel army in the west, and cut off the rebels on both sides of the Xinjiang River east of Guixi. Army escape!"

"The last general will not let a rebel army slip through the net. If you violate this order, you will be willing to accept any punishment from the lord, and there will be no complaints." Chen Zhuo knelt before accepting the military order and said loudly.

Lin Bie laughed and picked Chen Zhuo up.

Although Chen Zhuo's murderousness was a bit heavier, he was a good general who charged into battle.

In the past, Chen Zui, Sun Zhuang and Zhang Gou were Liu Shuai, driven by Liu An'er, and they were also good knives in the hands of woodcutters, and their talents were rarely used. After he joined the Huaidong Army, he became sharper and sharper.

In the battle of Gucheng Lake, Chen Zhe suffered a lot of casualties due to his rashness, and Xu Gong only authorized the formation of the army, under Sun Zhuang, Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi, Zhang Jiheng, and Zhang Gou, but he himself did not know what to do. Care, just ask for a battle to fight.

In cooperating with the navy's landing operations, Chen Zhu was stronger than the other generals, so Lin Fu was the key to withdrawing his troops from the Litang battlefield and transferred them to Taohua Pass to stand by.

After Chen Zhu was ordered, he arranged for the dispatch of troops.

After the mobilization, more than 10,000 generals made the final preparations before they set off. Lin Bie stood on the platform, looked up at the open land south of Taowu Pass, and said to the people around him, "Can we beat the She family all at once? Remnant, just watch this battle!"

Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting and others were also the ones who had experienced the battle, but they couldn't restrain their excitement at this time.

Zhou Pu said: "Jiangning failed to wrap up the extravagant family in the first battle. It is a pity for many people. This time, they have to earn back their principal and profit! It's a shame, the riding camp is useless." Said When I got excited, my saliva was flying, and I wished I could lead the troops in person.

Lin Fu heard that Zhou Pu was eager to try, so why not.

Being in a high position and doing everything Xiaoyi, he was in Jiangning City, and when he had a table of wine, someone had to test the poison before him, and it was an extravagant idea to lead his troops to rush to the battlefield again.

Lin Bie is not willful, but as a man, it's always possible to imagine galloping across the battlefield.

"Zhejiang, Fujian, Gantan and Tanzanian mountains and rivers are connected, and General Zhou will carry all the horse armor with the army, and he is not afraid of increasing the pressure of logistics." Gao Zongting laughed.

Horse armor is the equipment of heavy cavalry. If they cannot fight in formation, heavy cavalry cannot play their role. As a traditional general, how many people do not have the illusion of driving heavy cavalry to defeat the enemy?

Zhou Pu led the cavalry battalion to follow the battle this time, mainly serving as Lin Bie's long-term guards and horses, mainly light cavalry, but the equipment of the two battalions of heavy cavalry was also carried with the army, hoping to come in handy. The Shangrao war had been fought for so long, and the cavalry had always existed as a flank of the guard formation, and everyone would make fun of Zhou Pu about it from time to time.

Zhou Pu spat and said, "I won't use it this time. When I go to fight the Hulu next year, I will always leave you speechless!"

Everyone laughed. At this time, the Chen Zhe command post headed out to the dock to prepare for boarding. Lin Fu waved his whip and said, "She Feixiong will probably be washed away by the flood for the road of Shanxi. And breathe a sigh of relief!" He said, with a sympathetic smile on the corner of his mouth.

Gao Zongting smiled lightly and said, "She Feixiong is also brave and resourceful, but the master's strategy is beyond the category known to the world, and it is difficult to guard against anyone who comes here!"

Lin Bie smiled and said, "Isn't it a word for 'money'?"

Hundreds of thousands of stone materials for warships were transported into Guanxiling from thousands of miles away, and a large number of warships were assembled in a short period of time by secretly setting up a shipyard. This is equivalent to bypassing the gates and eyeliners guarded by the She family, and transferring the Huaidong elite naval forces to Jiangxi to fight, the resources consumed are enough to start another war.

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

Taowu Pass is a pass slope, which runs across the middle reaches of Shanxi River. There is a dock in the south of the pass, which is named after the peach forest. The hill at the foot of the forest is named after Taowu.

In Taowu Pass, a dam was built to block the river. Including Taowu Pass, a large area of ​​land south of Taowu Pass was submerged into a lake.

The Xuanhu Lake was completely emptied due to two water discharges, the Shanxi River was restored to its original appearance, and the gentle slopes, river beaches, and depressions in the south of Taowu Pass were all exposed again, but they became muddy due to prolonged flooding, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass.

Going down the **** of Taohua Pass, there is a road leading to the dock port, which was also flooded by the flood, and a large amount of silt was accumulated. However, after the water receded, a large number of soldiers were mobilized here to clear the silt on the road, and the charcoal **** was quickly covered. In one day, the road connecting the old dock was rebuilt.

Eight new warships have been parked at Taowukou, where the water plants are still hanging on the pier.

Su Pinxiao led the navy generals to board the warship first, and scattered around the perimeter, but for the time being, they had not crossed the dam. In the dock of the shipyard, they are being dragged into the water one after another.

A dam was built to cut off the river to create a hanging lake, and the shipyard was built by the lake at that time. After the lake water receded, between the boat yard and the river bank, there was a muddy field about five miles wide, but the boat grooves dug beforehand were still roughly the same.

Although the tank is filled with silt and water plants, the empty boat drags through it without adding too much resistance.

However, the Huaidong Army has high fighting spirit, not to mention the soldiers, and the people who are recruited into the army also implement the new policy in accordance with the new policy in their hometown, and benefit from tax reduction and taxation. feel the pain.

In mid-April, the villagers stepped barefoot in the muddy ground, put the fiber ropes around their shoulders, and the ropes were deeply squeezed into the flesh, and they bent forward to bow. Hundreds or hundreds of people dragged a newly built empty boat with great effort. As he moved forward, he didn't feel the pain, and shouted "yo hey, hey hey" in unison.

The warships that were secretly built in the shipyard were pulled from the shipyard through the muddy ground into the Shanxi River to stand by. The boatmen and sailors boarded the ship from the dock and completed it quickly and orderly. Water camp reorganization...

The original plan was for Su Pinxiao to lead the navy first to attack the Zhejiang-Fujian navy in Xinjiang to remove obstacles to the waterway, so as to ensure that Chen Zhe's troops could take the warships along the Shanxi and Xinjiang waterways and directly insert into the hinterland behind Shangrao. , landed from behind the enemy, and completed the division and interception of the Shangrao enemy soldiers.

The reason why the dam is dug for the second time is mainly to consider that after the first water discharge, a large number of sundries, beams, houses, trees and other debris that have been washed away and pulled out along the coast will accumulate in the river channel with the receding water, which will form a river channel. silted up.

The purpose of the second water release is to clear these possible silt blocks and clear obstacles for the navy warships to attack the road ahead.

The secondary release of water is not technically difficult. The dam was built in sections at first. The river channel is based on cage stones, and the river beaches on both sides are piled with soil to form embankments. Dig the earth embankment from both sides to form the first flood discharge with the largest water potential to the downstream Shanxi; then pull off the support on the side of the base of the stone dam, completely destroy the dam, and form the second water discharge .

In fact, it is difficult for Ge Siyu to accurately grasp the timing of the two flood discharges, and Lin Fu just asked him to form two flood peaks that were clearly one after the other. The main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army's water camp in Shangrao couldn't wait to enter the Shanxi River to meet She Feixiong's troops, and directly destroyed it by the second release of water. For the Huaidong Army, it was a surprise.

Lin Fu heard that most of the navy of the Zhejiang and Fujian troops in Shangrao had been destroyed like this, and he laughed with everyone after being stunned for a while.

In this way, there is no need for Su Pinxiao to lead his troops to annihilate the Zhejiang-Fujian army's naval forces above the Xinjiang River, and Chen Zhuo can directly lead the Chongcheng army's first division to attack from the waterway, turning the roundabout interception into a surprise attack. !

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

More than 30 warships were overturned by the flood in Shanxi, only two warships survived, and nearly 3,000 soldiers were buried at the bottom of the river.

On the 18th night, She Feixiong and his troops trekked through the muddy land washed away by the flood~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to the south bank of the Xinjiang River. If the muddy ground is less than ten miles, the soldiers will be exhausted, and the baggage they carry with them can only be completely discarded.

Fortunately, there is still a small amount of supplies left in Hengshan City, so the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses under She Feixiong are not worried about running out of food.

The Xinjiang River is not wide in the section where Shanxi flows into it, only about 400 steps. Due to the extremely strong water potential of Shanxi two times, the narrow stretch of Xinjiang River to the east of Shangrao City suddenly flooded with a flood that could fill a large lake. Indigestion for a while, it can only spew and overflow on both sides of the strait.

In particular, the northern bank of the Xinjiang River at the mouth of the Shanxi River was impacted from the front, and the impact was the strongest, not even weaker than the two banks of the middle reaches of the Shanxi River.

The avenue that traverses the hinterland of Shangrao is located on the north bank of the Xinjiang River, where the terrain is relatively easy. A section of the road on the north bank of the Xinjiang River was completely destroyed by the flood, which actually blocked the passage for Huaidong troops and horses to pursue a circuitous pursuit from the jaws and Litang.

Although the Huaidong Army's logistical and road-building capabilities were strong, it would take ten days and eight days to restore the passage of the Shanxi River Valley and the north bank of the Xinjiang River so that its troops and horses could be dispatched smoothly.

She Feixiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Just as Lin Fu had expected, although most of Shangrao's water camps were destroyed and 3,000 soldiers were buried at the bottom of the river, the flood washed away the road. She Feixiong thought that all these temporarily stopped Huaidong's pursuers behind. They win a respite.

If the Huaidong Army were to be chased from behind by biting their tails tightly, She Feixiong would not have the confidence to lead the main force out and control the casualties to less than 3,000.

The road behind was washed away by the flood, and he was not worried that the Huaidong Army would be able to catch up by land. She Feixiong was not in a hurry to withdraw westward, so the troops camped outside the city to rest; She Feixiong, Shi Hejin and other generals Hit the horse and go to the bank of the Xinjiang River to watch the situation...
