The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The Jiangling naval force was like a dragon swimming in the river, disrupting the entire Jin army fleet and breaking into chaos. After a chaotic battle, they overran the entire enemy fleet and lined up in front of it to block it.

After entering the river, the broken wood and boards floating on the river, the broken corpses, the pink river water and the frightened Jin army were all their recent masterpieces.

"How could this happen?" Xu Wen seemed to have suddenly suffered a stroke, and the muscles on his face kept twitching. These enemy ships caught up like the wind, and in a vicious attack, his fleet was half disabled.

And my plan basically came to nothing.

"Commander, should we fight or leave?" The yes-man deputy general still looked at the commander with admiration, thinking that he would definitely be able to come up with a solution.

"Fight, fight to the death!" Xu Wen gritted his molars and said. He knew that with the speed of the Song army's warships, he could not escape their pursuit. On the contrary, it would cause great chaos and be wiped out one by one. If he could not fight to the death with the enemy now, he would not be able to escape their pursuit.

It is considered that he has fulfilled his fame for the rest of his life.

"As ordered..." The deputy general was a little vague. The commander was anxious and prepared to fight for his life!

"Take the flagship as the leader, and the rest of the warships will follow me and fight the enemy!" Xu Wen took his sword from his own hands, stood at the bow of the ship, raised his arms and shouted. Then the commander's flag was raised, and the ship was fully decorated.

Sailing, all the troops responded in unison and rushed towards the Song army blocking the front.

‘Ka, ka…’ Just as the two armies were preparing to engage the enemy, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, lightning flashed, the waves surged, and heavy rain poured down.

"Lower the sails, wedge-shaped battle formation!" The Jin Army's warships followed the wind and water and rode the waves with indomitable momentum. They wanted to break through the interception of the Song Army. Du Feng saw that Xu Dadao was going to fight with all his strength. Although the enemy had already

Suffered heavy losses, but still held a numerical advantage, so

Regardless of casualties, they swarmed down, and it was really difficult to stop them with their weak defense line. Therefore, Du Feng changed the long snake formation into a wedge-shaped formation. A slope with a large mouth and a small bottom was formed on the river surface, which not only facilitated the movement of each ship

The firepower will be weakened after the Jin army rushes in and blocks the attack.

'Boom'. The first ship opened fire first, and the bows of the oncoming enemy ships were instantly penetrated. The sailors fell into the river and were ups and downs in the storm. Everyone knew that it was difficult to survive in such weather. The other ships followed one after another.

The cannons were fired, and then all the machine guns were fired. People have the idea of ​​​​seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. They can't help but want to avoid fatal injuries, and they very obediently got into the fatal funnel set by the Song army.

The heavy rain soaked the firewood and rockets on the Jin army's ship. They lost their most powerful weapons, and the Song army's ferocious strafing also made them unable to lift their heads. They could only bend down and paddle desperately to break out of the siege as soon as possible.

, their ambition to fight the enemy decisively at this moment has already been crushed by the Jiangling navy, and they just want to get rid of these difficult opponents and escape.

Xu Wen also lost control of the fleet at this moment, commanding the flagship to rush towards Du Feng's command ship, as if he wanted to start a showdown between the captains. He held a knife in both hands and stood on the bow of the ship, with gray beard and hair.

Drifting in the wind, he remained motionless despite being whipped by the storm. The bullets fired by the Song army seemed to be afraid of its power. The soldiers around him were also shot and fell one after another, but he was unscathed.

Xu Wen looked at the enemy ship getting closer and closer, holding the sword tightly in his hand. He turned his face to look at his subordinates who had been standing behind him and followed him for many years, and a sad smile appeared on his face. His lieutenant was also steering the ship with a determined look on his face at this moment.

The sailors may have been infected by this tragic atmosphere. They roared and paddled vigorously and rushed toward the enemy's flagship to inflict severe damage on it, even if they did not hesitate to die with them.

"Kill..." Seeing that the two ships were about to collide, the Song Army's warship suddenly stopped, and the Jin Army's warship passed by, making a heart-wrenching creaking sound. Xu Wen shouted and took advantage of the proximity of the two ships to raise the gun.

Dao jumped hard, trying to jump into Song's ship to fight. The soldiers who followed him were also ready to join the fight.

'Pa, pa...' Just as the Jin soldiers were crossing the ship, the Song soldiers who were lying on the side of the ship suddenly stood up, raised their guns, and started shooting. Xu Wenshen, who was in the air, was shot several times and even brought a knife into the turbulent waves.

Among them, the soldiers behind also suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers on Song's ship took the opportunity to throw the cables to tie it up. They could no longer restrain themselves and jumped onto the enemy ship without waiting to get closer. They stood together with guns and swords, trying to kill them.

Capture the enemy flagship.

"Ahem... die by your own hands, so happy!" At this time, Xu Wen, who was seriously injured and fell into the water, had been caught by a scratching hook. The sailors of Song Ship dragged him onto the ship, grabbed the big knife that he had not let go of, and put it on his neck.

Xu Wen coughed twice and spurted blood from his mouth. He looked at Song Jun beside him and laughed.

"A defeated general cannot express his courage, so what can you, a traitor general, say?" Du Feng stepped forward and looked down at the half-dead Xu Wen and asked.

"Haha, if there was a Ming Dynasty in the Song Dynasty and the navy was so powerful, why should I invest money... For the sake of being a Han Chinese, send me home!" Xu Wen had already seen what Du Feng was saying here.

The head calculator raised his finger with difficulty and pointed to the east.

"Oh, if I had known today, why would I bother you in the first place? I promised you!" Du Feng sighed and fulfilled his last wish, asking the soldier to remove the broadsword across his neck.

"Thank you, little brother..." Xu Wen showed a satisfied smile on his face, sat up and raised his hands to him, and suddenly jumped into the water with all his strength, causing an exclamation.

"Don't shoot, he's already dead!" Du Feng raised his hand to stop the soldiers who were about to shoot. He raised his hand to salute Xu Wen, who was floating on the water. His body will float down the river into Liaodong.

Bay, perhaps drifting with the tide to the coast of Dengzhou, where he defected to the Song Dynasty.

"Commander, it is a great achievement to offer the head of an enemy chief, so why don't we just let him go?" an officer said with some reluctance, looking at the corpse that was gradually going away, hidden in the rain and mist.

"Don't you still have his sword in your hand? It's the same!" Du Feng glanced at the sword in his hand and said, "Although this man rebelled against the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, he still knew that he was a Han before he died.

He can be considered a man when he returns to his homeland, but if he is allowed to become a headless ghost, it will be against our name of benevolence and justice."

While they were talking, the flagship of the Jin Shui Army had been captured, and the commander's flag was lowered and replaced by the battle flag of the Song Shui Army. The remaining Jin Shui Army, which was still resisting, saw that they had no intention of fighting. Those who could escape fled, and those who could not gave up resistance and stopped the ship to surrender.

In the evening, the Jiangling navy pressed down

The captured flagship surrendered and returned to Sanjiangkou. The battle here had long since ended. Not even the blood of the corpses was left on the river. It was as if nothing had happened. However, the once tyrannical Jin Navy had also disappeared into the vast river.

.

A heavy rain fell all day and night, and the river swelled. Warships could sail in and out freely. The navy of the Song Dynasty once again entered the Lianghe River. The complete destruction of the Jin navy made the future unimpeded. The horse infantry landed fifty miles outside Liaoyang City. Wanyan Yongque

He was so frightened that he went to Beijing to advance. At the same time, he summoned all the troops to set up camp twenty miles outside the city to resist the Song army's attack...

…………

Since the Mawei Corps entered the Liaohe River, news has been basically cut off. Zhao Tao, who was stationed in Jinzhou, could not know the status of the battle. However, he could tell from Jinzhou's reaction that there was no major battle in Liaoyang, otherwise Wan Yanliang would not be so calm. stayed in the city and remained indifferent to the siege.

"Your Majesty, Li Cheng's regiment has suddenly accelerated its march in the past two days and is heading towards Jinzhou. It has arrived at Haibei Prefecture this morning." As usual, the daily military intelligence briefing in the camp was hosted by Zhao Yong. He was the first to report.

"Hey, what is Li Cheng doing? He has been on the road for so many days. Will something happen if he marches hundreds of miles day and night?" Zhao Lian marked Li Cheng's position on the map. Said in confusion.

"This man has always been cunning and cunning. If he had taken the Qianzhou Road, he would have traveled at least three hundred miles less, but he chose to take a detour on the Haibeizhou Road. He obviously knew that our army did not want to come here to die, and wanted to wait until we captured Jinzhou. He can quickly withdraw his troops, escape our attack, and save his own life." Dou Junba said with a smile.

"Hmph. He must have received an urgent order from his emperor to quickly rescue Jinzhou. Wan Yanliang is the emperor's celebrity and is waiting for him to come to the rescue. How dare he not come under the forced order?" Liu Biao's opinion was different. And different.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Zhao Yong asked as everyone expressed their opinions, but the emperor remained silent.

"Gao Chong, how many days will it take for you to capture Jinzhou?" Zhao Tong looked at Gao Chong as he answered the question.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give the order, I promise to capture Jinzhou within three days." Gao Chong stood up and said.

"Okay, there are two most important tasks at the moment." Zhao Tong stood up and walked around in the tent. Everyone knew that the emperor must be troubled. They all sat up straight and listened, "First, check his teeth. Set up an ambush on the mountain and resolutely annihilate Li Cheng's troops; secondly, immediately after the battle there starts, the army launches a general attack on Jinzhou, and the battle must be ended within two days. Then the whole army will set off and rush to Liaoyang Mansion. At the same time, Zhao Li's regiment is ordered to end its rest and enter Jinzhou from the grassland. The country threatens Huining City."

"Your Majesty, why is this that our plan to siege the city and provide reinforcements is no longer implemented?" Zhao Yong asked urgently. After the Mawei Corps set off, the emperor wanted to use Jinzhou as a bait to attract the Jin army to keep coming, and gradually annihilate them. The enemy's strength was consumed to reduce the pressure for the next battle, but now the emperor suddenly changed the planned battle plan, seemingly without any reason.

"The reason why Li Cheng marched slowly and took long detours was because he was worried that our army would cut off its return route after capturing Liaoyang Prefecture. Gains and losses in Jinzhou were only part of his considerations. Now that he suddenly accelerated his march, it must be because of the attack of the Mawei Corps He was blocked, or suffered heavy losses, and lost the ability to capture Liaoyang Prefecture in a short period of time, so he was able to confidently and boldly come to rescue Jinzhou, while we had to end the battle quickly and rush to the aid of the Mawei Corps." Zhao Tong said.

"Your Majesty, you think something happened to the Mawei Corps? Isn't it too hasty to infer based on this!" Zhao Lian said with a surprised look. Now one general can fight independently, not to mention the strength of two generals dispatched this time. The warships of the Dengzhou Navy came to the rescue. Even if the attack failed, they would definitely be able to protect themselves. It is unbelievable that they suffered a setback.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. But now that the news is cut off, the enemy suddenly becomes bolder. Maybe all this has nothing to do with the Mawei Corps, but we can only attack from the worst angle when the enemy's situation is unknown. Think about the problem, but you can't take it for granted and guess the consequences." Zhao Tong glanced at everyone and said, how could he not understand the combat effectiveness of his army, but he couldn't take any chances. Countless expeditions in history failed, all because of poor communication. One side lost, while the other side was still fighting according to the established plan. As a result, it became a lone army and was taken advantage of by the enemy, resulting in a disastrous defeat.

"Your Majesty, I understand. We will immediately prepare to attack the city and promise to capture Jinzhou within two days." Gao Chongyan said.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates will immediately lead their troops to set up an ambush in Chaya Mountain and will not let the enemy's reinforcements reach the gates of Jinzhou City alone." Zhou Jun, the commander of the Zhongyong Army, asked for the battle.

"Your Majesty, ambush is what our wolf generals are best at. It's up to us to do it. We will definitely make that old boy Li Cheng never come back!" Zhuge Hong, the commander of the wolf generals, also rushed to go.

"You wolf generals are the main force in the attack on Jinzhou. Let Zhou Jun go this time!" Zhao Tong said with finality, not giving them another chance to perform...

Jinzhou City borders the Bohai Sea to the south and the Songling Mountains to the north. It is located at the eastern end of the Western Liaoning Corridor, between the Xiaoling River and the Hara River. It has a dangerous terrain and a strategic position. It is a transportation hub connecting Northeast China and North China. It is the ancestor of Liao Dynasty Abao.

The machine used Han prisoners to establish a state and set up a state government to govern it.

The Han captives in Zhongyuan who were good at weaving and raising silkworms produced silk, silk and brocade exclusively for the royal family, so they named it Jinzhou. The city is about five miles in radius, more than two feet high, and has a moat one foot deep outside.

It is two feet long and three feet five feet wide, with gates on all sides.

In order to prevent the Song army from invading north, Wu Shu ordered the cities to repair the city walls, prepare city defenses, and store grain and grass while building boundary trenches. Jinzhou was guarding the gateway to the Liaodong region, so it was naturally prosperous.

Civil engineering work was carried out, the Wengcheng and the Yangma City were built, and water was diverted into the moat. After learning about the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, Wanyan Liang mobilized soldiers and civilians to go around the city and dig two deep trenches a hundred steps apart, and set up corners and pits.

After the Song army took Anchang, the two armies fought more than 20 times, and the Jin army was unable to resist. Wan Yanliang ordered the walls to be fortified and the fields to be cleared. All the surrounding forts were withdrawn into the city, and the soldiers retreated to the trenches and camped close to the city. The Song army swept away

After clearing the periphery, troops arrived

Under the city, walls were set up on all sides to surround the city and confront it across trenches. Zhao Tong gave the order and the three armies moved together. The Zhongyong Army quietly left the camp that night, circled the city to the north and entered Chaya Mountain to set up an ambush and reinforcements. The camp moved to ten miles south of Jinzhou City.

Go to the village.

At this time, the Song Army gathered the Leopard General, the Wolf General, the Tiger Wing Army and the Zhongyong Army under Jinzhou City, and surrounded the city respectively. After the Zhongyong Army was sent out for reinforcements, the Guards stationed in its camp, and still attacked other people.

The flag confuses the enemy. Highly favored generals will choose the breakthrough point.

In the West City, the wolf generals were the main force in the siege; at the same time, the leopard generals and tiger-winged troops were the assists, attacking the west gate and the north gate respectively. After receiving the order, the baggage transported a large number of siege equipment to the front, and the artillery also built positions to provide supplies for various ministries.
