Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 774
When the news of the riots in the front camp came back to the Tucheng camp, it was already dark.

At that time, Shi Hu was sitting withered in the tent, when he heard the news, his face suddenly changed suddenly, his huge body jumped more than a foot out of thin air, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in evil spirit, he pressed his sword and said sharply: "Who is that chaotic soldier?" Everyone? Have you ever been killed on the spot? If there are still alive, get them immediately!"

"The incident happened suddenly, the camp couldn't respond quickly, and the soldiers were quite brave. They seized the boat and rushed out of the water fence, and they were led away by the southern bandits..."

Under Shi Hu's bloodshot and murderous eyes, the generals who reported from the front reported back tremblingly. Seeing King Zhongshan's cheeks twitch even more, he hastily added: "However, the camp where the riot occurred has been strictly controlled. The chaos has not spread outside..."

Shi Hu snorted coldly after hearing the words, his face was still gloomy, he did not sit back to his original position, but put his hand on his saber, paced slowly in the big tent, his sharp gaze was on the faces of the generals in the tent Swipe across.

With such confidential news, Shi Hu can only trust it for a few days, and everyone who can hear the news is his confidant.As a result, the news was suddenly shouted out by the soldiers in the front line. It is not necessary to think that someone among his cronies must have leaked the secret!
After being swept by Shihu's sharp eyes, all the generals in the tent could not remain calm, each of them felt uneasy in their hearts, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.Among the generals, Zhang Xiong stood up suddenly, stepped forward and said loudly: "If the secrets are leaked to the army, they must be killed by the near and middle. The general is willing to eliminate the thief for the king!"

"Shut up!"

Zhang Xiong hadn't finished speaking here, but his elder brother Zhang Jie on the other side had already charged the case, scolded Shi Hu angrily, and then said to Shi Hu: "The southern thieves were ostentatious before, and there were many poor people in the army who were deceived. Your Majesty is clearly in the town." Army, how can there be such a saying of abandoning the army! A fool who speaks a thousand words may get it once in a while, and the poor soldier is cowardly, so it is not necessarily a secret to vent his secret..."

When Zhang Jack said that, it was obvious that he was talking nonsense.Even if a pawn wants to fabricate rumors, his knowledge and experience are there. The chances of being able to fabricate such rumors and coincide with the facts are too small, almost impossible!

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Jack finished speaking here, some of the generals present couldn't help but open their mouths to refute, and even suspected that it was Zhang Jack who leaked the secret to have such cover-up words.However, Zhang Jack was a veteran general who had been with the king for a long time after all, without conclusive evidence, they did not dare to speak out to offend him.

At the same time, several quick-thinking generals quickly realized why Zhang Jackal said that.Those rebels have already rushed out of the barracks and were captured by the southerners. They no longer have any witnesses to directly track down the traitor.Before the massive reorganization of the army, the inherent command relationship in the army has changed greatly. Even if the identities of those disorderly soldiers can be determined and the masterminds can be tracked down, it is by no means clear in a short period of time.

And in the process of this investigation, there is no doubt that everyone present here who has heard the secret is suspicious, and those who can know this secret are naturally Shi Hu's confidantes.Before the truth comes to light, these people will be panic-stricken, even if they have not done it themselves, they will be worried that they will be suspected by the king.Especially in the past few days, the southerners have frequently shouted on the river, and the theory of punishing the heart has fallen into the ears of everyone, and it is absolutely impossible to pass by without a trace.

But now the situation of confrontation between the two armies is so severe that it is on the verge of breaking out, and there will be a big change in an instant, especially when those rebellious soldiers have fallen into the hands of the southerners, who may launch an attack at any time.At this moment of time, we still have to track down the traitor, and we are in a mess, which undoubtedly plays into the hands of the southerners.

So after pondering for a while, Li Nong and Ma Qiuju, who were the most valued among the junior generals, both echoed Zhang Jackal's words and did not advocate strict investigation.

Although Shi Hu was brutal, he was definitely not lacking in resourcefulness. If it was an ordinary season, he would be able to realize this level without Zhang Jackal's reminder.But ever since he learned that Shi Le was dead in the middle school, Cheng Xia and Shi Kan, the two servants, were fighting against each other in the middle of the country, their mood was completely confused, and there was only one thought in their mind, that is to return to the country as soon as possible.However, the army is hanging on the Huai River, so it is absolutely impossible to leave without saying anything. As a result, he has not yet set off here, and the secret has been leaked to the outside world for the enemy to know!
In a moment of fright and anger, Shi Hu really wanted to find out that spy and cut him into pieces to vent his anger. Even when he heard the generals' persuasion, his knuckles holding the sword trembled and turned white.He has always been willful and self-willed since the beginning of the incident, but he has never been so embarrassed and humiliated!
But now the situation is really pressing, even if he has the courage to change his fate, he has to bow his head.As soon as he heard the news of Shi Kan's return, he no longer had any plans to fight against the south. He was worried all day long about what Shi Le would do to him when he was in the army, so he stayed in the south in order to increase his self-defense.As a result, Shi Le's method did not come to pass, but the news of his death came instead, and the middle school had already fought into a ball while he was away.

That was supposed to be what he was doing, but Cheng Xia and Shi Kan, two treacherous and ugly people broke into the empty door, it is tolerable, what can't be tolerated!
Although he was extremely annoyed in his heart, Shi Hu also knew that this was definitely not the time to act emotionally, the turmoil between his chest and abdomen finally turned into a series of extremely suppressed sneers and leaked out from the corner of his mouth: "I and you are already entrusting our lives to each other!" , this time returning to the country will cleanse the inside and outside, and kill the evil spirits! It is difficult for the Lord to start a business, how can he allow evil thieves to be corrupted, and when Wang Ye is corrected, you are all the pillars of the country. Doubt."

Speaking of this, he turned to the front and reported to the general and said fiercely: "The camp that caused the chaos, all the soldiers will be taken down, and all the heads under the battalion commander will be punished for the crime of causing chaos!"

After the frontline generals heard the words, their eyes narrowed slightly. Although the camp was not big, there were nearly a thousand soldiers. It was hard to predict how they would feel in the eyes of the frontline soldiers.However, seeing King Zhongshan's intimidating attitude, he didn't dare to refute for a while, so he could only kneel down and accept the order, and did not rush to leave, but continued to ask for instructions: "The southerners have received this news, or there will be changes, what should the front camp do?" How to deal with it, I ask the king to show you..."

Hearing this question, Shi Hu couldn't help frowning deeply.Knowing that the middle school is in chaos, he is 1 people who don't want to waste time with the southerners. Regardless of the outcome, it is completely meaningless to him.Previously, his son, Shi Sui, had led several direct lineage generals and [-] elites to Pengcheng to sit in town, using Pengcheng as a successor base for the retreat of the army, because he was worried that if the army retreated along the Woshui, they would be chased and blocked by the southerners.

But now it is not up to him to decide whether to start a war or not.The Southerners were already aggressive before, and when they got such news, one can imagine what they would do.If the troops are still withdrawn in disregard of the movements of the southerners, the retreat of the army may turn into a rout at any time.At that time, his army will not be there, even if he returns to the country, he may not be able to accomplish anything.Blame Shi Le for leaving this mess, the room for contingency left to him is too small, even if he dies, he will be hurt again!
"Such confidential and important information, the southerners may not dare to believe the cold words. Although Huainan has been stern recently, it has never made a strong attack. It can be seen that there is also a fear of war..."

Zhang Jackal continued to speak, but his mood was also very complicated when he said this. The ambition to drink horses and rivers when he came to the south has long since disappeared. I have to say it was depressing.

When Shi Hu heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker, but before he could open his mouth, there was an urgent report from outside the tent: "The Southern Army's Luojian boats are gathering, and they are about to launch towards the vortex!"

Hearing this urgent report, all the generals in the tent gasped, what is a leak in the house, and it rained all night, it was so unlucky that drinking cold water would stuff your teeth.Even if they are in charge of the army themselves, after obtaining such important military information, they have to confirm it before they dare to launch a large-scale battle with tens of thousands of people, but the commander of the southern army is so stupid and bold that he doesn't even consider information accuracy.Doesn't he understand that if this is a trap, tens of thousands of southerners might die here?
"The raccoon used soldiers so recklessly, and the Can Jin dared to entrust him with such a big responsibility. It's ridiculous and unreasonable! Young and absurd, don't you have a teacher to teach you how to live in the world!"

One person in the banquet complained so much, and immediately felt a few faint eyes watching him, and even King Zhongshan's expression was a bit uneasy, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and after a while, when King Zhongshan turned his eyes to the side, there was only one person He leaned into his ear and whispered: "Then Shen Weizhou is Nan Lai Ji Zhan's disciple, in the future, please don't say that again in front of the King..."

The man couldn't help but become more suspicious when he heard this, but the atmosphere in the tent was really gloomy at the moment, and he had time to think about it. After a while, he suddenly remembered that in the early years when the Lord came to Huaihe and stationed in Gebei, King Zhongshan was once arrested. Nanraccoon Ji Zhan was defeated and fled.Once he realized this, he realized what kind of gaffe he had made before, and a thin layer of sweat dripped down his back. When he took a sneak peek, he found that King Zhongshan was only frowning in thought, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, never daring to speak again. Talk more.

No matter how difficult the situation is, there is no time for Shi Hu to weigh it in depth. The water distance between the frontline camps of the two armies is only more than 30 miles.Now that the southerners have gathered boats and boats, the army will arrive in no time. No matter what kind of decision is made, it doesn't matter whether it is good or bad, the important thing is to implement it immediately to respond to the enemy.

"Baijia, I want to go to the mouth of the vortex to fight the raccoon thief!"

After thinking for a while, Shi Hu made a decision, and suddenly stood up from the table and said sharply: "If you don't repay him with a fierce kill, then those thieves with little knowledge really know that China has no heroes!"

"Your Majesty..."

After the generals heard this, their expressions were all different, and they stood up one after another to try to persuade them.

However, Shi Hu made such a decision, but also a choice out of desperation.Since the war, the southerners have used everything, and there is no need to expect them to hide the news of Lord Zhao's death for them.Even if this is really just a rumor, shouting like this before the battle will have a great impact on the morale of the army, not to mention that it is a fact at all.Moreover, the morale of the army is already low at the moment, if they are yelled at by the southerners again, it will cause even greater chaos.

Only when Shi Hu appeared in front of the army, could he stabilize the morale of the army a little bit, so that the army could not be defeated at the first touch, so that the army could maintain the strength of the first battle, and stop the southerners on the waterway, so as to buy more time.

Of course, Shi Hu also understands that this battle will be extremely dangerous, and it is very likely that he will be chased by the southerners and it will be difficult to get out of the battle.But in order to preserve more strength, he can only do this. Now, only by repelling the initial offensive of the Southerners, can the army maintain its organizational structure and leave.

As soon as he made this decision, Shi Hu didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately dispatched troops and generals, and at the same time finished dressing up, and hurried to the front line under the protection of two thousand descendants in Tucheng.

Now the night has fallen, the bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the deserted moonlight casts thousands of sparkles on the river, and the silhouettes of the shadows of the Huainan military boats are already faintly visible in the distance.At this time, in the water camp on the front line of the slave army, riots had gradually spread. The main reason why the people were uneasy was that the recent military orders were inconsistent. It was really chaotic and people didn't know what to do.

It was clear that preparations for a decisive battle had been clearly ordered before, and many slave soldiers scattered in the wild were all gathered and stationed in the camp along the river for defense.But after that, there were no more military orders. The slave soldiers just gathered together, and they didn't give out all the weapons. There was no intention of a decisive battle at all, which made people puzzled.

Right now, the enemy army in Huainan has been out, and a decisive battle is about to start, but there are still a large number of soldiers in the slave camp who don't even have basic ordnance. Are they going to meet the enemy with simple bamboo spears and wooden thorns?

While the slave soldiers were still in chaos, the mighty sound of drums and horns came from the Tucheng on the back road, and the fire dragon composed of torches came out of the Tucheng and quickly came to the front line camp.At this time, the commanders of the battalions also shouted: "The king of Zhongshan has come to the front line in person, and the soldiers will work hard to defeat the southern bandits here! If there is any gain in the battle, each army can accept it, and another meritorious service will be counted!"

Hearing this voice, the slave soldiers felt a little less uneasy. After all, the master general came to the front line in person, and he still comforted the hearts of these little soldiers.At this time, all the camp service personnel also pushed carts into the camp one after another. There were a large number of swords, guns and shields piled high on the carts. Under the restraining instructions of the captains, the soldiers gathered and lined up to receive the ordnance.

In the noisy scene, there were many soldiers shouting and cursing, saying that the ordnance they had received was damaged, or that the knife was chipped, or the barrel of the gun was not long, or the bowstring was loose, or the nail leaves were messy.However, these people didn't have much time to complain. Once the weapons were in their hands, they were immediately driven to the warship by the battalion superintendents.As soon as the warship at the pier was fully loaded with troops, it immediately sailed out of the water fence and headed for the vast river.

The Huainan Army invested a total of [-] troops in the first battle. The vanguard general Lu Yongzhen Zhonglianfang, which carried [-] troops.There are another [-] supporting and attacking people scattered among the warships and walkers among the ships.The entire fleet has nearly a hundred boats, large and small, spread out mightily on the river, and only on such an open waterway as the Huai River can the grandeur of the Huainan navy be vividly displayed.

Although Shen Zhezi's decision was quick, it still took more than an hour for tens of thousands of troops to assemble from the detachment to board the ship and leave the camp.When the fleet sailed to the Jingshan Gorge halfway, three of the fighting ships slowly docked to unload the bows, arrows, carts and other equipment.Xiao Yuandong, the guard of Jingshan Gorge, personally commanded the soldiers to transport these weapons to the surrounding area of ​​the garrison, and the chariots were quickly assembled. Later, the [-] infantry of Jingshan Gorge will cooperate with the middle route navy to capture the slave camp on the west bank of Wokou, in order to obtain a nearby slave camp. The rallying point and logistics area of ​​the battlefield.

The forward sailors had already set out, but the Luojian water camp was still full of flames, soldiers from the camp along the water boarded the boat one after another, and soldiers from the land camp continued to pour into it.

On the deep-water wharf along the river, one side of the warship is used for soldiers to board the ship, and the other side is a huge winch wrapped with a tough hemp rope as thick as an arm. Arrows and swords and shields in bamboo baskets were dispatched on the deck one by one.

The military supply officer of the supply camp held a thick account book in his hand, and when the gong sounded from the ship, he ticked the paper with an ink pen, and then turned his head to urge the following vehicles and ships to move forward as soon as possible, his voice was a little hoarse , His forehead was dripping with sweat.In the follow-up, the warships moored in the Luojian River are still continuous and almost endless. This night is doomed to be sleepless. The majestic army with the prosperity of the armored soldiers!

At this time, he was on the watchtower in Shuiying, surrounded by the generals of Huainan and Shen Zhezi, and the cloak wrapped in his armor was blown by the night wind and made a sound of hunting.The specific combat plan, including possible variables and countermeasures, has already been polished and matured before, and the generals understand each other, so there is no need to rush to give the secret before the battle.

However, when thinking of the drastic changes in the world situation after this battle, Shen Zhezi was also very excited and could not utter too many words: "Although the slave power is poor, the enemy should not be underestimated. This is also an old talk, but I still have to say it." This battle does not count losses, but beheading! Wang Shixiong has been exhausted in the Central Plains for a long time, and the road to revival is under the bow and sword of this battle. He wants to wipe away Jin Zuo's decadent state with slave blood. In the future, Megatron China will come out of me Among generations! Cold and hot for dozens of years, even if you enjoy it for a long time, there is nothing to boast about, and it is also a regret in life. During the heroic days and nights, the bones of heroes are laid out, and with this function, it is enough to be famous for thousands of years!"

While speaking, the fire spread across the river in the night in the east, and the battle officially began!

"Forget it, I will no longer pretend to be false. Join the battle tonight, and make great achievements with everyone!"

After Shen Zhezi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the generals laughed and retreated when they saw this, and each entered the army to stand by for orders.At this time, more than half of the 1 Chinese troops had boarded the ship, and the front line was on the river, slowly advancing.Shen Zhezi did not go with the water army, but turned to the ferry west of Luojian, and waited with the cavalry to cross the Huai River.Although the cavalry is not in the battle sequence at night, they still have to cross the Huai River first to conserve horsepower.
