I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 153 Unforeseen circumstances
Weather, climate, topography and other objective factors may be irrelevant to the impact of a war, or they may be crucial and become decisive factors.

The current battle situation is already a desperate fight for the southern army, but it is a catch in a urn for the northern army.

Zhao Deyu on the upstairs boat was completely desperate, but he just held on and watched the two battlefields lose steadily.

The camp had been breached by the officers and soldiers, and the iron armor was connected into a black mass like dark clouds, forcing the southern army to retreat continuously.

Except for the 1 people who stayed in the camp, most of them had boarded the ship, and the rest of the soldiers either surrendered or were killed.

There are also many ships that have been seized by the official army.

The river is in the Hezhou section, which happens to be north-south, and at this time, a northwest wind blows quietly
The first person to feel the wind was Xie Anchi, a staff member of the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion in the city, "It's not good for the governor, the wind is blowing, and it's the northwest wind."

Fu Jinchuan was taken aback for a moment, and then his face immediately became gloomy. At this time, the northwest wind had a great impact on the government and army fleet on the river.

With the northwest wind, thick smoke began to blow in the direction of the military fleet. Zhao Deyu on the building wept with joy and shouted: "There is no unparalleled road in the sky, and there is no unparalleled road in the sky."

Before the wind rose, Zhao Deyu even thought about throwing himself into the river.Because whether it is captured or killed, it is unacceptable to him.

But Wang Tingshan laughed loudly, "God help me, rush over at full speed and break a path!"

It was too late for Zhang to do anything at this time, and the rebels' ship crashed directly with smoke and fire, causing the official army fleet in charge of the blockade to be immediately enveloped in beacon smoke, and then the rebels went to sail the boat with all their strength, thinking about the direction of Jiangdong rush.

A chaotic battle began.

This caught the officers and soldiers by surprise, and for the rebels, it was a desperate situation.

Fu Jinchuan on Hezhou City sighed and said, "Heaven fails to fulfill people's wishes. Where did this evil wind come from to help Wu Ni get out of trouble?"

In this battle with the state, even though the navy will suffer some losses due to the chaotic battle, the official army has already won.

It's just that he failed to complete his work and capture and kill King Wu himself.

The people who had been fighting for a day were already exhausted, and even the sun couldn't hold on and began to fall to the west.

The setting sun reflected on the river like blood, and it was hard to tell whether it was the sunset glow or the blood of the soldiers of the North and South Army. The flames on the warships only burned into the night.

In the end, more than 1 boats and boats of the southern army escaped from birth, and nearly [-] boats of various types were lost. In the end, less than [-] people, including the navy, fled back to Caishiji.

Dozens of generals including the right general Lu Qing, deputy generals Fan Gu, Chen Lin, Du Yuhou Liu Tong, and Xie Fang died in battle.

General Wang Bing of the left and Xi Yuanping of the Central Guard were wounded.

After crossing the blockade line formed by the warships of the Northern Army, Zhao Deyu, who had escaped with love, was in tears and couldn't help himself in grief.

He lost this battle so badly.

It was rumored that Zhao Deyu went back to Jianye directly after landing, and only left a sentence: "Marquis Wu'an is here, so don't attack Heyang again!"

The loss of the Northern Army was also not small. The navy lost more than [-] ships and ships, and the navy suffered more than [-] casualties.

There were more than 600 infantry soldiers killed and seriously injured in battle, the cavalry army lost more than [-] horses, and more than [-] people were killed in battle.

Of course, the results of the battle were also great. More than 7000 people were beheaded and more than [-] enemies were captured. This is only the gains of the Yangzhou Army on land.

The governor of Hongzhou, Zhang Ji, landed on the second day and went to Hezhou City to meet Fu Jinchuan and attend the celebration banquet.

"I met Uncle Zhang."

"Sanlang is welcome."

Dingnan Hou Zhang is not well-known among the nobles, but he can also be called a veteran.When he was guarding the frontier, he never took the initiative to attack, and he always focused on defense. Therefore, compared with Li Shizhong, Feng Shenji and others who won a big victory at every turn, he was naturally much less famous.

Fu Jinchuan still remembered what Ah Weng said, like Dingnanhou Zhangji, there are no geniuses, but mature and prudent ones are rare.

"With this battle, Jiangbei is safe and stable, and Saburo's bravery is the best in the world."

Zhang Ji admired Fu Jinchuan's courage in this battle.

This also turned what he had imagined as a timely gift into an icing on the cake.But the battle was finally won.

The two entered the city from Hezhou City Gate all the way, and went directly to the city head without going anywhere else, and set up a table in the city gate building.

And the soldiers in the city, including the whole army, were also given wine and meat. Except those who were on duty, they all raised their wine bowls.

Fu Jinkawabata took the bowl of wine, and then looked at the soldiers on the city wall, "This first bowl is for the robed Ze who died in battle."

Then spill the wine on the ground.

"The second bowl, I respect the brothers of the Navy in the Dudu's Mansion of Hongzhou."

"The third bowl, I respect the bloody battle of the whole army to achieve this great victory. Do it."

"do it dry"

"do it dry"

For military banquets in the Great Jin Dynasty, each soldier can have two liters of wine, two catties of mutton, rice, steamed cakes, pancakes, etc., and even one catty of dried vegetables per person, as well as sauced pork liver or lamb liver, and glutinous rice. Do Shiluo and so on.

As for the generals, the natural treatment is more favorable.

For example, the banquet placed in the gate of the city includes river fish, crab, braised goose, mutton, and various fruits and vegetables.

Because Fu Jinchuan and Zhang Ji had some concerns, they hurriedly drank a few toasts, filled their stomachs with some meals, and left the banquet together.

The two left the city together with their personal guards and came to the bank of the river.

At this time the weather is very good, there is no fog, and you can see Caishiji on the other side.

"Uncle Zhang, in the battle of Hezhou, the officers and soldiers won a complete victory. Can we take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and go directly across the river to attack the quarry?"

Fu Jinchuan's words were so direct that Zhang Ji fell into deep thought.

After a while, Zhang Ji said, "The quarry can be attacked, but if there is no follow-up reinforcements, what if a fortress is captured?"

Zhang not only expressed Fu Jinchuan's current predicament, even if he won the battle of Hezhou, beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] enemies, but if he wanted to attack the river in one go, he still needed more troops.

Fu Jinchuan is currently able to mobilize more than [-] troops, and the newly formed Jingnan Army still needs time to practice before it can go to war.

But now that the battle here is over, it means that King Wu is unable to cross the river and stabilize the front line in Huainan.

But the key point that determines whether the rebellion can be wiped out quickly lies in the nearly 20 troops of the North and South armies facing each other in Xuanzhou.

At this time, a small ferry boat on the big river was in the middle of the big river. There were only three people in the cabin, two big men and a middle-aged scholar.

It was Pang Zhigu, the Fang family brother and military advisor of Honglian Road.

"I didn't expect that the last wind would help King Wu, otherwise this old boy would either jump into the river to feed the fish, or be captured alive and sent to Beijing." Fang Jiao said with a smile.

His brother Fang Qiu said: "It is the king of Wu who should not die, but in the current situation, it is easier to find him to work with."

Fang Jiao said: "Hahaha, in the past, this old boy looked down on us Hongliandao, but he was defeated by the officers and soldiers, let's see how rampant he is."

At this time, Pang Zhigu, who had been closing his eyes and meditating, said, "It depends on the outcome of Xuanzhou. If the Southern Army in Xuanzhou loses, King Wu will be a grasshopper after autumn, and we will not follow him." The need to work together, if the Northern Army is defeated, we are rebelling, so there is a need to work together."

Fang Qiu said: "Sir, what you said is reasonable. If the king of Wu is defeated and we revolt in haste, we will definitely be wiped out by the government army. Until now, the elite frontier army has not yet arrived."

And Fang Jiao remembered Fu Jinchuan's feat on the battlefield yesterday, and said with a smile: "Brother, if there is an incident in the future, when the two armies are at war, you and my brother, like that Marquis Fu Jinchuan of Wu'an, can also make the battle Has the morale of the congregation increased?"

After Fang Qiu thought for a while, he didn't speak.Instead, he looked at Pang Zhigu.In fact, he didn't have an answer to this matter.

Pang Zhigu didn't ask and answer but asked, "Marshal, how far can your lightness kung fu go in one leap at most."

Fang Jiao thought for a while, "One jump is only eight or nine feet away. My brother and I are not good at lightness kung fu, but the person with the best lightness kung fu in the world can't jump more than ten feet."

"What if you're wearing armor?"

"That's no more than six or seven feet."

After hearing this, Pang Zhigu nodded and said: "Marquis Wu'an Fu Jinchuan took advantage of the five cavalry plunder yesterday, that is, there are no cavalry among the rebels! They can't catch up, and they can't encircle them. But there is no shortage of officers and troops. The cavalry has even more hard crossbows... If Sheng Gong and Marshal follow Fu Jinchuan's example, they will be faster than the official cavalry while wearing heavy armor."

Fang Jiao shook his head after hearing this, "If you don't wear armor, you will be faster than the cavalry of the official army in a short period of time. If you wear armor, I'm afraid it won't work."

He didn't say anything later, if he didn't wear armor on the battlefield, he might be shot as a hedgehog.Although the grand master is a superb martial artist, he can do things that ordinary people can't do.

But the so-called undefeated King Kong is actually just a Buddhist state of mind.

If the masters of the clan are standing or fighting, their whole body luck can resist or resist ordinary arrows, but they will definitely not be able to resist strong bows and crossbows within dozens of steps with their flesh and blood.

While moving, the energy in the body runs on the legs, so you can jump several feet, but at this time, you can't be lucky to resist the arrow attack, you can only dodge it with speed, but on the battlefield, thousands of crossbows are fired at once. Where to hide?
Only then did he realize that what happened yesterday cannot be replicated.

Courage, martial arts, observation of the battlefield, and even a golden opportunity-the Confederate Army did not have cavalry.

The superposition of all these conditions created Wu'an Marquis Fu Jinchuan's raid that was destined to be recorded in the annals of history.

Five riders rush into the formation, and the whole division returns.

"The Shenggong and the marshal have great ambitions. They should not rely too much on their own force, but learn more about military tactics. This is the right way."
