Horse on the World

Chapter 829 Dead End
On the watchtower, Ai Yongjun burst into tears. He saw countless Dingzhou infantry swimming across the river and rushing up the embankment. His love general Lei Hong was stabbed into the chest by several spears, and then he held it up high. Throwing into the river, he clearly saw that when Lei Hong flew into the air, he tried his best to turn around and look into his eyes, full of reluctance for the world.

He saw that the children of the Southern Army were killed one by one on the river beach and embankment. Next, the army formation was already in disarray, and then in the charge of the Dingzhou iron cavalry, it was cut into pieces and became the target of being slaughtered.The remaining soldiers retreated back to the camp, but the simple camp was able to withstand the bombardment of stone bombs weighing tens of kilograms, and fell one after another.On the Hezhong Bridge, Dingzhou soldiers were pushing a chariot, carrying weapons such as scorpion cannons and crossbows, galloping towards them.

Ai Yongjun pulled up the battle flag upstairs with one hand, pulled out his waist knife with the other, waved the battle flag vigorously with one hand, and roared: "Assemble to my flag!"

At noon, the Dingzhou army broke through Ai Yong's defense line across the front on a front about [-] miles wide, and crossed the river. More wooden bridges were erected, and various long-range weapons were transported through the wooden bridges in an endless stream. Arrive at the front line.

At this time, the remaining [-] soldiers of the southern army gave up all their lines of defense and formed layers of military formations around the camp watchtower, preparing for the final battle.

Lu Dalin crossed the Wudu River under the protection of layers of retinues.

"General Lu, that's Ai Yongjun!" He Ping, who was accompanying Lu Dalin, pointed to the general of the Southern Army waving a flag on the watchtower, and said loudly: "If this man can be captured alive, I believe it will greatly reduce the number of people fleeing south. Army morale."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult!" Lu Dalin shook his head and said, "This person has already had the will to die, and it is very difficult to capture him alive. Besides, if this person does not die, it will inevitably make these remaining Southern Army's fighting spirit not let go, and it will cause us great harm. Unnecessary casualties. They still have more than [-] people. If they are in a hurry, they will jump over the wall. There is no need to take such risks. Every one of our soldiers is precious."

"Come here, give me the order!" Lu Dalin said.

"General, please order!" A soldier beside him shouted loudly.

"Order the trebuchet and the eight-ox crossbow, aim at the watchtower, cover and shoot, and knock down the watchtower for me, destroy it!"

"Yes!"

The trebuchets that had just been transported across the river were quickly assembled, and dozens of trebuchets aimed at only one target, which was the watchtower where Ai Yongjun lived high above.

"Aim!" A school lieutenant raised his command flag.

"Launch!" The flag fell heavily.

The sound of collapse and collapse sounded at the same time, and dozens of stones flew out at the same time, covering half of the sky with blackness.The throwing arm was pulled down, and the stone bullets were loaded quickly. When the first batch of stone bullets just fell, the second batch of stone bullets had already flown up again.

Within tens of square meters of the watchtower, it was completely submerged by stone bullets. When the first batch of stone bullets fell, the watchtower was knocked down. After the second batch of stone bullets fell, the watchtower was no longer visible. Ai Yongjun on it It's gone too, only the Confederate flag still stands stubbornly among the stone piles, waving in the wind.

The whining sound was endless, and rows of eight-ox crossbows flew by, and the military flag was rolled up by the crossbow arrows flying at high speed, leaving only the bare flagpole standing there alone.

"Kill!" Hu Cheer shouted with his gun.

"Come on!" Dong Dasheng laughed wildly and rode up the horse.

"Boys, let's go!" He Ping and Liu Jiang bravely rushed forward, unwilling to be left behind.

From several directions, the Dingzhou Army rushed to kill the last formation of the Southern Army.

An hour later, the last Confederate soldier was hacked to death on the battlefield with a saber.

In the battle of Wudu River, Ai Yong's army used [-] southern troops to cross the river relying on Wuwu, and blocked Lu Dalin's [-] soldiers and horses for three days, causing more than [-] casualties in Lu Dalin's troops, of which more than [-] were killed and more than [-] were injured. Exit the battle order.

On March [-]th, Lu Dalin joined forces with Xu Ji, Jin Chao, and Lu Da's military department, and the number of troops under his command increased to more than [-].

On March [-]th, Lu Dalin, who had been resting for a whole day, divided his troops into three groups, one to attack Sifangyan, one to attack Bailonggang, and the other to go straight to Xiabaoping.

At the same time, Tian Feng, Xiong Jiwang, and Chang Liqing led Lan Yu and Xu Siyu to besiege Wangjiang with a total of [-] southern troops.

Once the main force of the Southern Army began to retreat in great strides, Hu Zequan would no longer be able to hide the news that the retreat had been cut off. The only hope now is the two supply points at Sifangyan and Xiabaoping.

But the reality is cruel.

Zeng Yifan sent Fengliying to capture Xiabaoping, and swept away all the supplies there. Fengliying took what he needed and rushed all the way back to Quanzhou. All the materials were taken away, but Hu Zequan was left with an empty warehouse, and a fire in Sifangyan completely extinguished another hope of Hu Zequan.

Hu Zequan's figure was completely hunched, and a lot of hair fell out. In more than ten days, he seemed to have passed more than ten years.

"Order the generals of the army not to restrain military discipline anymore. Let the soldiers collect food by themselves!" As a general who attaches great importance to military discipline, Hu Zequan gave the order painfully. Instead of being a group of bandits, the Southern Army will no longer be able to have the fighting power it used to.

But Hu Zequan can't do anything. He wants to go to Quanzhou and attack Yingcheng. Li Qing's troops in Quancheng are waiting for work. This section of the road will take at least a month, and it may not be straight, because behind him is Wei Xin A group of soldiers and horses followed them like ghosts with hanging boots, and behind Wei Xin, Lu Dalin's main force must be chasing after them in a hurry. Now Hu Zequan's first concern is how to keep the soldiers alive and not starve to death .

Quancheng, since Li Qing's troops captured Quanying on February [-]th, they have driven a large number of people from all over the prefecture to build fortresses and build positions. Not only the city of Quancheng, but also the banks of the Tuojiang River are densely covered with fortresses. The machine completely blocked the Tuojiang River to prevent Hu Zequan from ramming the wooden rafts down the river. In the Tuojiang River, the wooden piles that fell to the next level were driven deep into the river, and under the river, strands of iron wires even drove these wooden piles into the river. The piles are connected together, and it is okay for Hu Ze not to put any wooden rafts. Once they are put down, in this wooden pile array that stretches for several miles, it will definitely become a living target for trebuchets and eight-ox crossbows on the shore.

Quancheng is the largest material transfer station where the southern army attacked Weizhou. Here, all kinds of materials are piled up like mountains. With Li Shanbin's surrender, Lu Xin, the guard of Quancheng, has no chance and time to destroy these materials. After Li Qing, he was quickly transformed into a sharp weapon against the Southern Army itself.For more than ten days in a row, Li Qing continued to draw formations and issue orders, making Quanying's front-line management as solid as gold.

Even if Hu Zequan's tens of thousands of troops escaped from the pursuit of Lu Dalin and Tian Feng and ran back to the front line of Quanying, what greeted them was still the scythe of death.

Deng Peng conquered Anshun Port, and the Marine Corps broke into Liaozhou, making it impossible for Liaozhou to send reinforcements to attack Quanying. The focus of the attack, which made the Southern Army Shanghai panic everywhere, and everyone was in danger.

Seeing that the frozen Tuojiang River has been thawed, and the icy ice is getting smaller day by day, Li Qing's heart becomes more and more determined. After the Tuojiang River is completely unblocked, the Dingzhou Navy will be able to send thousands of material boats into the Tuojiang River to support the front line of Quanying. After taking over Hu Ze's entire headquarters, the Dingzhou Army can take advantage of the Tuojiang water transport to cut the Liaoshen area into pieces for harvesting. Presumably in May and June, the overall situation of Liaoshen can be determined, and they can also plan to attack the Southern Army. The base camps of Ningzhou, Bozhou, and Dengzhou were finally attacked.

"My lord, Fei Ge, the secret agent of the Overwatch Council, passed the letter." Li Wen trotted to Li Qing who was patrolling the fort by the Tuojiang River, and presented a small sealed iron pipe to Li Qing.

Opening the iron pipe and pulling out the letter paper, Li Qingzhao cleaned it with a smile on his face.

"My lord, is it a great victory in Weizhou?" Li Wencha looked at his expression and already knew the general idea.

"That's right. On March [-]th, Lu Dalin's troops wiped out Ai Yong's army, the main force of the Southern Army, at the Wudu River, killing more than [-] enemies. Xu Siyu, a general under Tian Feng's command, was trapped in Wangjiang at Lanshan. At present, the army's food and grass It has been exhausted, and it has become a soft-shelled turtle, and within a short period of time, it will disappear and collapse."

"Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord!" Li Wen was also beaming with joy, "The great work is finally done."

Li Qingyang raised the letter paper, "There are more interesting ones!"

"Oh?"

"Zeng Yifan ordered Guo Quan to rob all of Hu Ze's supplies, and ordered Guo Quan to occupy Baimadu on Baima Mountain. He is planning to become a king of the mountain!" Li Qing laughed.

Li Wen laughed loudly, "Zeng Yifan robbed Hu Zequan of his last life-saving money, and it did us a great favor, taking over the mountain as king, thanks to him he can figure it out, my lord, what are you going to do?"

Li Qing slowly tore up the letter paper, waved his hand, and fell into the Tuojiang River, and went along the water, "Inform Guo Quan that this person does not need to stay any longer, trap him in Baima Mountain, and then disintegrate him." Ministry, Guo Quan can take as much as he can! In the future, we can attack the south, and we can also help a little."

"Understood!"

In Dingzhou City, a fast horse came rushing from outside the city. The messenger with the red flag on his back galloped wildly while shouting, "Weizhou great victory, Weizhou great victory. I will defeat the Southern Army with 20 horses."

Where the guards passed by, there was a burst of joy. People threw away the things in their hands and frantically followed the messenger.

In Dingzhou, in the meeting hall of King Zhou's palace, Lu Yiming, Luo Daoming, Yan Nanfei, Li Muzhi, Qingfeng, Fu Zhengqing and other high-ranking Dingzhou officials are discussing today's financial expenditure, and there are loud cheers outside. Everyone was stunned, and suddenly they all stood up.

"It seems to be calling for the victory of Weizhou!" Lu Yiming said in surprise.

As soon as the words fell, a bodyguard rushed over, his face full of ecstasy: "Weizhou hastened to report victory at 20 miles away. General Lu Dalin and General Tian Feng led their troops to defeat [-] southern troops. Weizhou has won a great victory. Won!"
