Soldiers come to the world

The two fleets approached slowly on the river, with a distance of several miles. The Jiangxia and Jiangdong armies were both elite troops on the water, and they were very good at water warfare.

Almost all of them were setting up formations on the water. The Jiangdong Army used twenty warships as the vanguard, preparing to rush into the heart of the enemy's position and besiege the enemy's main ship.

The Jiangxia army formed a two-wing formation, and the southern navy called this formation water scorpion formation vividly. Ning Ze led fifty warships into scorpion bodies.

This is a classic tactic in water warfare. It has extremely high requirements for coordination and command. If you are a little slow, you will be cut off by the enemy's pincers and tail. But once you cooperate tacitly, it is full of power.

Although Huang Gai was captured for underestimating the enemy in the battle with Cao Jun, he is still a veteran of Jiangdong Army's water warfare, with a high reputation and rich experience. be surprised.

The water scorpion formation is either easy to break through, or extremely powerful. If Jiang bandits and water thieves form this formation, they belong to the former, and can be broken in one blow, but Jiang Xia's army is obviously not easy to break through. They have strong water combat capabilities , Putting up the water scorpion formation must be well-thought-out.

Xu Sheng, the lieutenant next to him, said in a low voice: "I'm afraid it's not good for us to use the diamond formation. I suggest changing to the flying geese formation."

Huang Gai shook his head, "The formation is not about good or bad, but about proficiency. We are not familiar with the flying geese formation, but it will be broken by the enemy. Use the diamond formation to concentrate on attacking the scorpion's body. Once the scorpion's body is broken, the tail of the pincers will be destroyed." .”

"Humble job understands." [

Huang Gai then said to Xu Sheng: "General Ding can be the vanguard of defeating the enemy, but he is young and brave. I am worried that he will be greedy for meritorious service. You can lead [-] ships to meet him, and I will lead the main force to support the scorpion pincers on both sides for you." .”

"As ordered!"

Xu Sheng disembarked from the main ship and boarded his own warship. He waved the green battle flag and led twenty warships to closely follow the forward Ding Feng's warship.

Huang Gai shouted loudly: "Beat the drum and attack!"

A fierce water battle broke out on the river. Two hundred warships criss-crossed each other, fighting each other. Arrows on the river were like locusts. The sails of the ship were hit by the burning kerosene and burned rapidly on the river, and the terrified soldiers jumped into the river one after another to survive.

In this battle, the Jiangdong Army also carried a thousand barrels of kerosene supported by Cao Jun. They also used rockets and trebuchets to throw the barrels of kerosene. war.

The tactics of the Jiangdong army are obvious. To capture the thief, first capture the king, and enter the hinterland of the enemy army in an attempt to destroy the main ship of the Jiangxia army with three thousand stones. As long as the main ship is destroyed, the Jiangxia navy will also be defeated.

This is also the main tactic of the Jiangdong Army for more than ten years. It has become the fist of the Jiangdong Army as early as the Sun Ce era. Inside the Jiangdong Army, it is called the "Battle of Heart-digging". The general who is in charge of heart-digging today is Ding Feng. He and Ling All of them are Jiangdong Army's desperate Saburo.

Ding Feng led [-] warships into the hinterland of the Jiangxia Navy. He kept releasing the warships to resist the Jiangxia warships coming from both sides, while he led five core warships to attack the largest one. Jiang Xia's main ship.

Ding Feng could see clearly that on the mast of the three thousand stone ship, there were flag soldiers raising flags and issuing orders. This must be the main ship of the enemy army. If they mainly occupied this main ship, they would win a complete victory.

"Hang up the tailsail, speed up the boat, and rush up!"

Ding Feng, like a leopard hunting prey, calmly and loudly ordered that his warship is a thousand-stone warship, together with two auxiliary ships, three warships lined up in line, broke through the first blockade, rushed Take a boat to Gan Ning, who is several miles away.

Gan Ning stood on the bow, looking coldly at the three Jiangdong warships rushing towards him. He seemed to smell the impatient aura of the enemy and wanted to destroy him. Gan Ning sneered, and immediately ordered: "Surround this Three warships!"

The flag soldiers on the mast waved their flags and issued an order to encircle. More than [-] warships surrounded Ding Feng's three warships from three directions. Ding Feng's eyes were about to burst into flames. He still had a chance , before the enemy's encirclement is complete, rush out from a gap. [

More than a dozen big ships are like a slowly closing gate, and Ding Feng's warship is trying to rush out before the gate closes, seeing that Ding Feng's warship is about to seize the opportunity.

At this moment, a thousand-stone ship suddenly sailed from the slant and crossed in front of Ding Feng's warship. Amidst the exclamation, the two ships collided with each other, wood chips splashed, and water sprayed up. Violent shock.

The Jiangxia warship was smashed, a large amount of river water poured into the cabin, and the ship began to sink rapidly. Dozens of soldiers jumped into the water to escape in a panic. At the same time, Ding Feng's warship suffered heavy damage and was forced to stop.

This accident caused the three warships led by Ding Feng to lose the chance to break out of the encirclement. Nearly twenty Jiangxia warships surrounded the three warships, and dense rockets were shot from all directions. The clay pot full of kerosene was thrown by the trebuchet and hit three Jiangdong army warships. The pottery shattered, the kerosene burst out, and was ignited by the rocket. The three warships were quickly engulfed by the fire.

"General, abandon ship and escape!"

A soldier yelled in anxiety. Ding Feng looked at the raging flames burning the ship in all directions. The devil-like flames opened his bloody mouth at him, which also aroused the wildness in Ding Feng's bones. He stabbed him to death with a backhand shot. The soldiers who persuaded him to jump off the boat yelled at a hundred soldiers: "Whoever dares to jump into the water and abandon the boat will be killed and pardoned!"

Hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers were suppressed. Ding Feng looked around. He saw a Jiangxia warship on the left, less than fifty steps away from them. He pointed at the Jiangxia warship and ordered the boatman: "Turn around, Get closer to that warship!"

The Jiangdong warship that was burned by the fire turned around slowly, rowed along the water to the front left, and slowly approached the Jiangxia warship. Ding Feng held a gun in his right hand and a shield in his left, and led the soldiers to lie on the side of the ship. The dense rockets flew from them Overhead, the mast creaked and was about to fall.

Just when the enemy ships were about to collide, Ding Feng jumped up, jumped onto the Jiangxia warship, swept across with his spear, and knocked several Jiangxia soldiers to the ground, "Follow me!" Ding Feng roared, hundreds of soldiers Jiangdong soldiers followed him onto the Jiangxia warship, and the two sides launched a bloody life-and-death battle on the deck

The city of Chaisang was very quiet. The Jiangdong Army imposed martial law in the city, and no one was allowed to go to the streets. Groups of soldiers patrolled the streets. In addition to the patrolling soldiers, there were also yamen servants with knives. They were all natives of Chaisang. His duty is to monitor possible civil uprisings in Chaisang and use the advantages of the natives to control Chaisang for the Jiangdong Army.

The yamen servants were dressed in black and red two-color soap clothes, with long knives on their waists, and five-color sticks in their hands. There were a total of 180 people, divided into six teams, and they were all commanded by the county magistrate Zhu Xun.

At this time, the war was raging on the river, and a team of yamen servants was patrolling extraordinarily hard. A team of yamen servants was returning to the county government office. Zhu Xun installed Liu Zheng, the leader of the Eagle Strike Army, as the yamen servant.

Not only Liu Zheng, but also this yamen servant team of 30 people, all of them are Liu Zheng's subordinates. The Jiangdong army never imagined that the yamen servants patrolling the streets with them turned out to be Jiangxia's most elite Eagle Strike Army.

Liu Zheng has already put on a disguise, and his appearance has changed drastically. No one knows that he is the famous "Eagle Monkey" in Jiang Xia's army. As soon as Liu Zheng led his men to the steps of the county government office, the county magistrate Zhu Xun hurriedly came out of the county government office. He waved to him, "Hou Thief Cao, please come here!"

Zhu Xun led Liu Zheng to a secluded place, took out a roll of information and handed it to him, and said in a low voice, "The pigeon letter my father just sent seems urgent."

Liu Zheng opened the pigeon letter and looked it over. It was an order from the military adviser Jia Xu, and he nodded immediately, "Thank you county magistrate, I understand!"

He returned to the team again, and ordered everyone: "Turn to the west city!"

The yamen patrol team set off again and headed for the west city

The southwest of Chaisang City is the location of Cangcheng, which is where the army stores food and military supplies. It covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, and there are hundreds of warehouses inside. The city wall is slightly shorter and thinner, and it is impossible to walk on it like a city head, but there are five sentry towers built around it, and dozens of sentries closely monitor the movements in Cangcheng.

In addition, there is a moat river around Cangcheng, which can only be approached to the gate of Cangcheng through a suspension bridge. The moat river is also a canal river, and you can enter Cangcheng from the water gate by boat to transport materials. This is also the characteristic of southern cities. Most of the freight All by water.

It was noon at this time, and the Jiangdong army focused on the river outside the city. Cangcheng was very deserted, and there were no soldiers patrolling around. South, crossed a small street, and headed east again, but at this moment, one person was missing from the team.

The leader Liu Zheng disappeared, so the sentry posts in Cangcheng would naturally not notice this subtle change. No one paid attention to this side. Their eyes were all turned to the north of the city, concerned about the great battle on the river in the north of the city.

The banks of the small river are full of upturned thorns and branches. At this time, Liu Zheng secretly revealed a pair of eyes from the thorns. Zuocangcheng severely damaged the material supply of the Jiangdong Army.

He has been waiting for an order, and just now, he finally received an order from Jia Xu, which was naturally Liu Jing's order, but Jia Xu's order was to immediately burn the kerosene stored in Cangcheng, and it is noon now However, it is not convenient for 30 people to act at the same time, so he can only find a way to do it alone.

Liu Zheng has passed by Cangcheng several times in the past ten days. He has already made a careful plan, and his eyes are on the water gate, which will be the key to his entry into Cangcheng. Liu Zheng is not in a hurry, and is patiently waiting for the opportunity .

About half an hour later, a fleet of [-] ships sailed from the Caohe River into the Huocang River and headed towards the water gate. The opportunity that Liu Zheng was waiting for finally came.

This is a group of flat-bottomed cargo ships with hundreds of stones on board, and Jiangdong soldiers on board. They approached the water gate along the narrow waterway. The head of the village shouted to the inside of the water gate: "By the order of Zhou Dudu, come to get the fire oil, open the gate quickly!"

The defenders inside the water gate verified his military orders, the water gate opened, and the fleet slowly sailed into Cangcheng. Just as the fleet was moored at the gate of a warehouse not far from the water gate, Liu Zheng quietly sneaked out from the bottom of the ship, staring intently. Stare at the warehouse door.
