Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 475

Lin Renzhao followed them through a large section of road, and patrolling Qin troops were often seen on both sides of the road.

The farther they went, the more people there were, and soon they arrived at a big camp, located in the north of Jiangzhou City.

Before they went in, Lin Renzhao looked out the car window, but couldn't tell where it was, because the surrounding trees had been cut down by the Qin army, and there were many tents everywhere, which were beyond recognition.

Two or three miles to the west of Daying is a small village, and there is still a faint sight of cooking smoke in it. This alone has shocked him. Behind Daying is a low mountain. He saw the familiar Inspiration Temple on it, so he confirmed it. s position.

Soon, the two sides exchanged the password seriously, and the soldier at the door said: "Captain, the commander is not in the camp, he is at the front line, why don't you go to the camp and wait for him."

Guo Ting said, "I happened to go over to have a look."

Then Daying sent more than a hundred riders to escort them and continue westward.

The avenue walked for about four or five miles along the foot of the mountain, and there were more and more scouts from the Qin army on the road. After several checks and matching passwords, they went up the mountain from a foot of the mountain, and they were heavily guarded along the way.

The mountain is not high, it is located in the south of the main road. Behind the mountain, there is a river converging at the foot of the mountain to form a pool with a radius of more than 30 feet. On the top of the mountain, there are camps.

Soon everyone reached the top of the mountain. Lin Renzhao saw several large tents on the top of the mountain, and was quickly taken there.

"This is Lin Renzhao."

"This is the man, Marshal."

When Lin Renzhao came back to his senses, he found a middle-aged man in armor standing in front of him, with a beautiful sword hanging from his waist. It was beautiful but not for killing people. He looked very bookish.

"The officials mentioned you in Daliang, and they really didn't miss you. There are not many people who can defeat Dangjin." The other party said to himself, but his eyes did not leave the south.

Lin Renzhao didn't know how to answer for a while, so he looked south, only to be shocked to find that the southern field was covered with flags, and within a radius of more than ten miles, there were densely packed figures everywhere, densely covered with military formations, and the eastern and western armies confronted each other by the river.

The Fenghua army in the south of the Yangtze River faces the east gate, and the Qin army in black and red armor faces to the west. The two armies are two miles apart, separated by a small stream and a paddy field. There are only rice stalks left in the sky, but it is still a little muddy.

decisive battle!In the decisive battle with the Fenghua Army, Lin Renzhao finally came to his senses.

He looked east anxiously, and there were many Fenghua soldiers in the distance, from a forest in the north, a total of seventeen square formations, to the river at the foot of the mountain in the south.

There are still a lot of reserve teams on a raised high slope in the rear.

There are a lot of people. He judged based on his own experience that there are roughly 2 people.

There were fewer Qin soldiers in the west, but their formation was much tighter than the Tang army, and their line was not as wide as the Tang army. It was about half a mile away, but they were neat and orderly, and even half of the noise could not be heard except for the drums.

This kind of discipline alone made Lin Renzhao feel bad.

He was uneasy, but the commander of the Qin Army looked down at the mountain, as if he had a plan in mind, and continued: "The official said that your performance in Huainan is still fresh in his memory. There are very few people in Jiangnan who can fight, and you are one of them."

Lin Renzhao said, "I didn't expect the Son of Heaven to still remember such a small person as me."

"General Lin, just wait in the army. When we get to Daliang, the officials will take care of themselves." He was talking, and the battle below had already begun.

The sound of drums and horns in the front caused the flags to fly.

On the contrary, the Qin army with fewer people took the lead to attack. The army here is only the forward of the Qin army, and the Chinese army is still behind. Lin Renzhao thought to himself, he saw it on the way here, and he had also seen the power of the Qin army's artillery.

With his heart in his throat, the Qin army advanced forward in a tight formation and slowly crossed the creek. Many cavalry followed on the left and right wings, ready to cover.

After crossing the creek they came to a field, and then stopped, not going any further for a mile or so.

Seeing that Qin Jun was not advancing, Tang Jun on the opposite side began to move slowly, but Lin Renzhao's pupils constricted suddenly. He knew what Qin Jun was doing, they were setting up artillery!
There were rumors that the emperor of Qin disbanded the famous Shenhuo Army, but now it seems that it may be a rumor at all.

He wanted to remind the generals of the Tang army, but this was on a mountain, and the distance was more than ten miles away, so he could only be anxious, watching the Tang army's front line begin to approach.

Soon, the fire in the field flickered one after another, and the blue smoke rose into the sky, and soon filled the field, and Tang Jun, who was two or three hundred steps away, was hit hard suddenly, and a large number of frontier armored soldiers rushed to the end, flesh and blood flew, and they were smashed in ignorance. Open a gap.

The formation suddenly became chaotic.

As if Lin Renzhao had been hit hard, he was almost unable to stand still. The Qin army below began to advance in an orderly manner and continued to move forward.

"There are rumors in the south of the Yangtze River that the Qin State disbanded the Shenhuo Army. Now it seems that the rumors of the country are simply wrong!" Lin Renzhao couldn't help but said sadly.

Guo Ting said that he recovered from the battle situation below, "This is true, but now all the soldiers and horses in my court must be equipped with artillery, so there is no need for the Shenhuo Army."

Lin Renzhao was speechless for a moment, and then for the first time truly felt despair.

He had seen how powerful the Qin army was. If the entire Qin army had an artillery unit, then perhaps they could be defeated tactically. But if all the Qin army had artillery, then...it was hard for him to think about how to fight.

Down below, the forwards of the Qin army had crossed the field, and the Tang army's front formation, which was several miles long, had been torn apart by artillery, leaving many corpses behind.

The forward of the Qin army was wearing heavy armor, holding a huge axe and a spear, and was extremely brave. He rushed in through the gap in the chaos, and dashed left and right. After a while, the Tang army's front line was disrupted and began to collapse.

The artillery from the rear was still firing, and the sound resounded through the valley, and it took a while to reach the mountain. Lin Renzhao also saw that their artillery was not shooting at the front of the formation, but at the deep position behind the Tang army.

The reserve soldiers in the rear were attacked for no reason before they went to the battlefield, and their flesh and blood flew all over the place, and they were also in a mess.

After a few quarters of an hour of shelling, the rear reserve troops began to retreat without engaging in combat.

The cavalry of the Qin army ignored the frontal battlefield and were chasing up from the road at the foot of the mountain in the south. Many soldiers of the Tang army who had no time to escape were so frightened that they immediately knelt and surrendered on both sides of the road.

Then a strange thing happened, the front line was still fighting, but the rear line was completely defeated.

Soon, the front line was also pierced by the Qin army's forwards. Those Qin army elites who were wearing heavy armor and charged into the gap were covered in blood, like evil spirits that had just crawled out of a pool of blood.

The soldiers in the front line collapsed and fled back, preparing to rush up the avenue to escape, but they were horrified to find that the high ground and avenue behind had been occupied by soldiers of the Qin army, and their flags and cavalry were everywhere, cutting off their rear.

So a large number of Tang troops gave up resistance and surrendered on the spot. For a while, there were crowds of people crowded together. Only a lot of Tang troops fled into the woods in the north, but further north was the riverside, where there were still Qin Jun naval forces. They were destined not to run too far. Far.

At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and the Qin army had captured the Tang army who outnumbered them. The shelling had stopped, and the smoke had not yet cleared. Abandoning armor and weapons, those under twenty and those over fifty were released on the spot, and the rest were all detained on the side of the road.

"How are you going to deal with it?" Lin Renzhao watched the one-sided battle all day, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that his knees and ankles were so painful that he almost couldn't stand still.

"After taking down the Fenghua camp, they will be free." Guo Tingwei said lightly, "If they don't want to die, they'd better go back and live a good life, after all, they are not lucky to survive every time.

A battle of inevitable defeat will only cause them to lose their lives in vain. Even if some people think they are noble and loyal, they will not have a good reputation in the history of later generations.

This is not a life-and-death battle, a war of national hatred and family hatred. The officials killed tens of thousands of Khitan elite soldiers in Guanbei, but here they ordered to slow down the people and not disturb the people. The sooner Jiangnan understands this truth, the less dead people will be. . "

Lin Renzhao looked at the Qin army collecting corpses on the battlefield below. The Tang army left at least a thousand broken corpses in this battle, while the Qin army lost very little.

He hesitated for a long time, thinking that heaven and man were at war, and finally said when the setting sun was submerged in the sky: "Let me persuade them, the whole Jiangxi is all soldiers brought out by me, Zhennan Army, Fenghua Army have been dispatched and deployed."

Guo Ting said he was surprised, and looked back at the coach Cao Bin.

Cao Bin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Sure, someone will protect you."

The next day, under the persuasion of Lin Renzhao, the chief officer of the Fenghua camp opened the gate of the camp and led more than [-] remnants to surrender, avoiding a big battle. go.

At this time, it was less than a month since the West Route Army launched its attack.
