I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 152
At this point in the battle, if the Southern Army said that it wanted to turn defeat into victory, it would be hysterical.

The right general Lu Qing, who was in charge of commanding the whole army, was shot to death by Fu Jinchuan.

The rear general Li Tuizhi was originally on the right, facing the five thousand Anguo army under Shangtanhui. If you can't persist, the whole army will eventually be defeated.

Whether it is Wang Bing, Li Tuizhi, or Zhao Chengjun, there is really not much they can do under this kind of retreat, and it is not bad if they can save their lives.

Fu Jinchuan watched the situation on the battlefield, and Du You, Du Ping, Tanhui and the others came to Dudu Jing's banner to wait for the next order.

Seeing the flames of war on the river, I understood why the governor suddenly decided to fight this battle, or take the initiative to attack.

It turned out that there was the Hongzhou navy as a backup.

"General Du, General Tan, ordered the infantry units to stop chasing on the spot. Now all the ministries are fighting on their own. If the rebels counterattack, it is very likely that there will be another wave. Regroup on the spot and re-form. Also, those who surrender will not be killed. , Anyone who violates the military order will be executed immediately."

"promise"

"promise"

Du You and Tan Hun rode their horses to the front again to restrain the ministries.

"Little General Du. You lead the cavalry to help Liu Keming's troops, and don't let that rebel army have another chance to counterattack."

"promise."

At the beginning, the southern army was relieved to see that the various ministries of the government and army had stopped chasing, and even slowed down their escape.

But then they couldn't laugh anymore, because the various ministries of the government and army finally started to form formations and make steady progress.

The crossbowmen in the front row directly started the chase, and shot all the twenty crossbow bolts prepared for this battle, which caused great damage to the rebels crowded in front of the camp gate in a panic.

Countless soldiers of the southern army lay on the ground and wailed endlessly, some of them were even directly nailed to the ground with crossbow arrows.

The originally evenly matched battlefield has become a Shura field of unilateral killings.

After the crossbowmen's crossbow arrows shot into the air, the longbowmen of the Northern Army also began to throw, and the crossbowmen put on their capes again, ready to storm the opponent's camp.

The pikemen in the first row were only a few dozen steps away from the rebels. At this time, the southern army outside the camp gate had no intention of fighting. Following a southern army soldier dropped his weapon, raised his hands, and cried: " Surrender, surrender, the heroes of the Northern Army don’t want to kill me.”

And Du You also made all the Northern Army shout "Fly down and don't kill."

Under such circumstances, the southern army finally began to surrender on a large scale, throwing down their weapons and kneeling on the ground one by one.

Du You sent two regiments of soldiers to drive the prisoners in front of the gate to another place, and then continued to lead the army to press forward.

At this time, on the river, facing the siege of the Northern Army's large and small boats, and arson, coupled with the defeat of the land battle, the Southern Army's navy also lost their morale and retreated steadily.

Wang Tingshan, the captain of the navy, was originally from the Jianghuai River. He was a Marquis of Yu in the Runzhou Navy. After the incident, he was appointed as the governor of the navy, commanding more than [-] sailors of the Southern Army.

Facing the current desperate situation, Wang Tingshan hardly hesitated, and immediately asked King Wu to order all the navy and army to board the ship and rush out with all their strength!

At this time, the left general Wang Bing and his younger brother Wang Yang played a huge role. The two brothers stood directly at the gate of the camp and beheaded dozens of defeated soldiers in a row before deterring the others. Then they moved antlers to forcibly seal the camp gate , This is one of the reasons why the soldiers outside the camp surrendered directly.

Wang Bing and Wang Yang gathered hundreds of rout troops, relying directly on the horse antlers and spear shields to prevent the northern army from entering the camp.

Seeing this situation, Du You did not order a strong attack, but ordered the messengers to let the baggage soldiers push the ballista over.

This also gave the Confederates a chance to breathe.

A battle involving tens of thousands of people, fought from morning to afternoon, the killed rebels fled in all directions, and the officers and soldiers were also almost exhausted. That's why Du You ordered the ballista to come over instead of ordering a storm. Anyway, the rebels are now The morale of the army is already in chaos, and it is already a bird and beast in a cage, so it is better to take it slow.

Fu Jinchuan also understood Du You's actions, so he didn't urge him, but directly entered Hezhou City with a few guards.

Yang Chu, governor of Hezhou, and Liu Jinghe, magistrate of Liyang County, went to the city to meet them.

"The governor is really a heavenly man. I have read all the history books, and I have never been as courageous as the governor. Five horsemen raided the formation and killed hundreds of enemies. This must be a good story through the ages!"

Governor Yang Chu directly praised Fu Jinchuan as a "heavenly man", and Liu Jinghe also agreed.

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "You two are over-reputed, but it's just a last resort."

These words are not hypocritical at all. If today's 8000 An Guojun and more than [-] martial arts central defenders are replaced by elite frontier troops, Fu Jinchuan would dare to directly Drive the army to attack and kill!

Do you still need to take risks in the enemy's formation?
After exchanging pleasantries with the two civil servants, Fu Jinchuan turned his attention to the battlefield again.

At this time, the southern army was flanked by the northern army by land and water, and was attacked by the enemy.Zhao Deyu on the building boat was ashamed. He never expected that the situation would take such a turn for the worse. The land camp was blocked by the victorious division of the Northern Army. He wanted to rely on these demoralized soldiers to defeat the morale of the Northern Army. It is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And the navy of the Northern Army blocked Jiangwan again, and hundreds of boats from the navy were trapped here. Although Wang Tingshan was organizing a counterattack and ordered all the soldiers to board the boat and fight to the death, Zhao Deyu really saw Not much hope of winning.

At this time, Zhang Ji also saw the current situation on the building boat of the Northern Army Navy, knowing that Wu Wang Zhao Deyu was also trapped here, and he was very excited.

Once Zhao Deyu can be captured and killed, it means that the backbone of the rebel army will be gone. Wu Wangshizi Zhao Chenghao is unpopular, and he will definitely not be able to stabilize the hearts of the people and the army in the south of the Yangtze River. The rebellion may be spread at that time.

So Zhang Ji ordered the large boats and fighting ships in the large navy ships to block the water surface without haste, and then used small boats to walk around and make a surprise attack to burn the large enemy ships.

In addition to large-scale building ships, the navy of the Jin Dynasty also had five types of ships.

Fighting ships adopt a cascaded compound structure, and the soldiers are distributed in cascades, which can give full play to the advantages of personnel in battle, and at the same time provide good protection for the auxiliary combat personnel who operate the ships, and greatly improve the survivability of the warships.

Walking, relying on its own high speed, through the cover of the main battleships and fighting ships, it can quickly approach the enemy's main warships by surprise and elusive, and then give the enemy a fatal blow. One blow can change the battlefield situation and form a favorable situation for one's own side. It can be said that walking is a very tactical boat.

The boat is a small boat, and its speed is a big advantage. Coupled with its petite and flexible body, it is the best choice for the entire navy fleet to approach and reconnaissance.

The fourth is the yacht.This kind of small boat is equivalent to a liaison boat. It is mainly used for command and dispatch, conveying military orders, and coordinating the movement of troops. It is a rare warship in the navy that does not have combat capabilities.

There is also a fifth type, the sea falcon ship. This kind of ship has a low bow and a high tail. The left and right sides of the back are made of raw cowhide for the city, and the dental flag and golden drum are made like warships.

There are more ships of this kind in the rebel navy, because the Yuezhou navy, the predecessor of the rebel navy, has been active in the sea all year round.

On the big river, the two sides add up to more than a thousand ships of various types, using winch crossbows, trebuchets, and arrows from crossbowmen to fight each other.

Once approached, it is to use a racket, or directly collide with a warship. After the collision, there will be a fierce hand-to-hand combat.

On the surface of the river, the flames were soaring into the sky, and the sound of fighting and screams could be heard endlessly. At the gate of the Southern Army's camp, after a short respite, the bloody storm was set off again.

Four crossbow carts pushed over, several crossbow arrows shot out, and the rebels directly at the gate of the camp were pierced into candied haws. Du You also ordered a team of soldiers to remove the antlers at the right time, and then his son Du Tian led the guards with long swords Soldiers pioneer.

A group of burly men, wearing heavy armor and holding long knives, rushed into the camp of the southern army, which was already a bit distracted, after their comrades opened their antlers.

It was like a tiger pounced on a flock of sheep, setting off a bloody storm.

Fu Jinchuan in the city was determined to see this, "This battle depends on whether Lord Zhang Hou can surround the rebel navy to death."

The official army has won, and the only thing that is still uncertain is whether the rebel army can be wiped out.

If the King of Wu, Zhao Deyu, was captured and killed here, once the news spread, even Xue Julin's morale would fluctuate, and Generalissimo Li Shizhong's battle in Xuanzhou would be much easier.

But God's will is often unpredictable, and a sudden spoiler overturned Fu Jinchuan and Zhang Ji's calculations.

The wind is blowing, and it is from the northwest.
