Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 420 Strong Counterattack

A wise man is bound to make a mistake if he worries a lot, not to mention that Xu Sheng is far from being a wise man. He didn't even think about crossing Chaisang under the cover of night and sneak attacking Xiazhi County to obtain the information they dreamed of.

In fact, he is just a brave general with a little bit of strategy. His eagerness for meritorious service blinded his eyes and made him focus on pursuing Chaisang, but forgot the safety of his homeland.

Of the 8000 Jiangdong Army stationed in Pengze, Xu Sheng took away 2000 of them, leaving only 2000 to guard Pengze Water Village. [-] people may be able to deal with the Japanese army, but it is difficult to deal with the [-] elite Jiangxia troops who came from far away. It's too far away.

"boom!"

The [-]-stone heavy ship broke the iron chain on the gate of the water village with its huge hull, and rushed into the water village of Pengze. The Jiangxia archers on both sides of the ship fired arrows together, and the dense arrows shot at the guard towers on both sides. Jiangdong soldiers. [

Pengze Water Village uses deep-water pile driving to enclose a water area of ​​tens of thousands of acres on the west bank of Pengze Lake. The dense wooden piles make it difficult for small boats to enter. The gate is about [-] feet wide, and three thousand-stone warships can be paralleled. Blocking the water gate, there is a huge sentry tower on each side, and there are fifty soldiers on each of the sentry towers.

At this time, the alarm bell sounded on the sentry tower, and the rapid sound of the alarm bell spread throughout the water village. The soldiers on the watchtower struggled to block the dense arrows with their shields. People continued to be killed by arrows, and the sound of the alarm bell gradually stopped.

At this time, another Jiangxia warship of three thousand shi rushed up, with a pig iron bumper on the bow, and slammed into the sentry tower violently. Amidst the screams, the sentry tower was smashed to pieces and fell down.

Large ships sailed into Pengze Water Village. Hundreds of Jiangdong Army warships were moored on the wide water surface, but there were no soldiers on board. Obviously, the Soochow Battle Flag hoisted by the fleet also confused the water village. The defenders in the middle, so that they have no time to board the defense.

The Jiangxia navy did not encounter any resistance. Dozens of heavy warships sailed towards the dock one after another. Down, rushed to the pier, opened the bow and fired arrows, and used dense arrows to prevent Jiang Xia's army from landing at the pier.

Huang Bing is the son of veteran Huang Gai. He is about 30 years old. He is Xu Sheng's lieutenant general. .

At this time, Huang Bing was very anxious. Although he knew that Jiang Xia was likely to land from other places, he did not have enough troops to disperse the deployment. He had to concentrate his troops to prevent Jiang Xia's army from landing from the pier, and the other part of the army was used to protect the barracks.

The Jiangdong army built fortifications on the pier, packed soil with sacks, and built a two-mile-long earthen wall dozens of steps away from the pier. [-] Jiangdong soldiers hid behind the earthen wall and shot arrows. The dense rain of arrows suppressed the landing of Jiang Xia's army, making it impossible for Jiang Xia's army on board to disembark.

At this moment, dozens of flaming fireballs flew out of the big ship, roaring and hitting the earth wall. It was Jiang Xia's army's counterattack. The fireballs rolled on the ground and crashed into the earth wall. , but the lethality is not strong. It cannot hurt the Jiangdong soldiers hiding behind the earth wall, nor can it stop the Jiangdong soldiers from shooting arrows.

The two sides seemed to be at a stalemate. It was difficult for one side to disembark and land, and the other side could not leave the battlefield, so they could only use bows and arrows to block the attack of Jiang Xia's army. Not landing, but holding them back.

"Did"

Huang Bing anxiously turned his head and looked towards the Cangying. He already felt that Jiang Xia's army must have other plans. They probably had landed from elsewhere to attack the most important Cangying. Huang Bing was taken aback, he heard it came from the direction of Cangying, and immediately made him very anxious, and immediately ordered: "The first battalion comes with me!"

He led [-] soldiers to leave the pier and ran to the distant barracks

The Pengze Cang Camp is located in the southwest of the military camp on the shore. It covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres and consists of more than [-] large tents, which are filled with food and military supplies stored by the Jiangdong Army in Pengze Water Village.

Among them, the [-] large tents stored the spoils distributed by Liu Jing to the Jiangdong Army after the Chibi War, including money and grain, tents, ordnance, flags, war drums and other materials. Ship back to Jiangdong.

At this time, Huang Bing's guess was correct. Chen Mi used the strategy of attacking east and west, and used dozens of warships and a small number of troops to attract Jiangdong soldiers at the pier. He then led [-] troops to land elsewhere and went straight to Cangying. With a strong force, they directly rushed into the Jiangdong Army camp, quickly surrounded hundreds of soldiers guarding the warehouse camp, and concentrated their forces to annihilate them.

There were only 500 Jiangdong soldiers guarding the cang camp. They were far from being able to compete with the [-] elite army. Nearly half of them were killed or injured in just a moment, and the rest of the soldiers knelt down and surrendered.

Shen Mi took down the barracks. At this moment, Huang Bing led five hundred soldiers to reinforce him. Shen Mi couldn't help but sneered and shouted: "Brothers, go up to the battle!"

Thousands of Jiangxia soldiers shouted loudly, brandishing swords and spears, like a rushing frenzy, facing Huang Bing and the five hundred soldiers he led to kill.

This was a battle with almost no suspense. The [-] Jiangdong defenders were far from the opponents of the [-] Jiangxia elite army. They were divided and wiped out one by one. The patrol outside was able to escape, and even the deputy general Huang Bing became a prisoner of Jiang Xia's army.

Shen Mi didn't waste time, he took over more than [-] warships of the Jiangdong Army, and ordered the soldiers to carry all the supplies and tents on board, and he was busy until night before moving all the money, food and supplies in Pengze's barracks. , leaving only an empty camp surrounded by wooden fences.

Shen Mi immediately ordered the camp to be set on fire, and the water village was burned down. Amidst the fire and thick smoke, hundreds of warships formed a huge fleet and left Pengze Lake in a mighty way. Dang" returns to Jiangxia

In the confrontation between the Jiangdong Army and the Jiangxia Army, the Jiangdong Army did not have a strategic advantage. On the contrary, Jiangdong was still at a strategic disadvantage. Its forces were mainly concentrated in the east of Wuhu, while the vast land to the west has always been lacking in troops.

In particular, Qichun County and Jiujiang County, which are close to Jiangxia, can only rely on the strength of Pengze Shuizhai to garrison, which makes the defensive forces of the two counties very weak, but they are directly facing the powerful Jiangxia County.

Many years ago, after the Jiangdong Army was defeated in the Battle of Chaisang, Sun Quan immediately sent Lu Su to seek peace. In fact, he was worried that Liu would directly occupy Qichun County and Jiujiang County, and Liu did not continue to attack Qichun in the long run. County and Jiujiang County, but reached a settlement agreement with Sun Quan, which also laid the foundation for the final Chibi alliance.

But at this time, the Battle of Chibi was over, and Cao Cao, the powerful enemy in the north, retreated back to the Central Plains. This brought to the surface a public case that had not been resolved many years ago. Qichun County.

But this time, he no longer hesitated, and directly ordered the army to attack Qichun County on a large scale, moving the land battlefield to the east of the river, and 2 Jiangxia troops landed in Qichun County. A total of 3 elites were selected from Cao Jun's prisoners of war and handed over to veteran Huang Zhong for training and command.

Relying on his excellent commanding ability, Huang Zhong successfully turned this army into an elite army of Jiang Xia Army in less than half a year. This is a necessary condition for firmly controlling this army.

Outside Qichun County, groups of soldiers disembarked from the large ships and quickly assembled on the pier. The [-] troops marched eastward, while the other [-] Jiangxia troops rushed in all directions, occupying various counties in Qichun County.

Liu did not fully adopt Jia Xu's plan. Jia Xu suggested that all the people of Qichun County be driven to Jiangxia, making Qichun County an empty county. However, considering Jiangxia's burden, Liu gave up this plan and changed Cheng occupied Qichun, and Xiang Lang served as the captain of Qichun County, and also took charge of government affairs.

In the afternoon, Liu's boat docked slowly at the pier in Qichun County. Liu stood at the bow and stared coldly at the county town in the distance. Just last year, in this county town, he and Sun Quan made the final alliance. Negotiations have been less than a year, how pale their covenant is in the face of interests, and they have been torn to pieces because of the conflict of interests.

This made Liu deeply understand what politics is, there is no friendship, and there will always be only mutual interests.

At this time, Jia Xu smiled and said, "Sun Quan probably never imagined Zhou Mu's determination. He lost Qichun before the war started."

"But he didn't suffer!"

Liu sneered and said: "Isn't it? He has occupied my Chaisang, and he has to pay for it. Qichun is just the first step, and then Jiujiang County. If I don't beat Sun Quan to the ground this time, I will never give up." Will not let him go."

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and then asked, "Why didn't Zhou Mu take back Chaisang first?"

Liu Weiwei sighed and said: "Chai Sang is the place where I raised my troops. I have put a lot of effort into defending Chaisang. I only need 5000 people to defend against 4 people. Pay an extremely heavy price, I don't want to pay such a high price for Wei Yan's stupidity, as long as the main force of the Jiangdong Army can be defeated, under the general situation, the Jiangdong Army will have to give up Chaisang."

Jia Xu nodded and said, "Has Zhou Mu considered Cao Jun's threat from behind?"

"Of course I've thought about it!"

Liu laughed, "Xiangyang is guarded by Wenpin. I'm not worried about Cao Jun's actions. Cao Jun may put pressure on Anlu's side, but they don't have warships, so they can't pose a real threat to me. The biggest possibility is " "Sex" means that the warships of the Jiangdong Army went north to help Cao Jun cross the river, and this will be my key point of prevention."

Jia Xu stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, then said: "The state shepherd is very thoughtful, but I don't think that Prime Minister Cao will actually send troops to help Sun Quan, but he will support the Jiangdong Army from another way, for example, he will give the Jiangdong Army a batch of kerosene , we must not be careless." [

One sentence reminded Liu that Cao "Cao" is indeed very likely to provide fire oil to the Jiangdong Army, and he really needs to consider this.

At this moment, a soldier watching from the mast shouted: "Zhou Mu, there is a fleet coming from the river!"

Liu walked quickly to the stern, and there was indeed a small black spot in the distance. Liu stared at it for a moment, and then he laughed, "I think this is Shen Mi returning home with a lot of rewards!"
