Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 133: unstoppable (1)

The flag news came from the Dongyang, and the Shiliang River had found that the enemy ships had gathered. There was not much time to respond. Lin Fu could only forcibly evacuate the Lin family from the mansion to the boat.

Lin Tingxun was drowning for a breath, just hanging his life with the good ginseng medicine, but Lin Fu couldn't leave him in the Lin family's mansion and leave him alone. If Lin Tingli dealt with it properly, it is very likely that he would make up for the shortage of the prefect of Dongyang. Besides, Lin Xuwen, the eldest son of the Ministry of Engineering in Yanjing, would rescue Lin Tingxun even if he grabbed a corpse at this time. The ordinary servants and maids in the Lin family's mansion were sent away to make them flee for their lives, but the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and young masters, as well as their personal maids and entourages, were to be rescued by boat. There are many families in Yongli who live nearby. Their families can be rescued this time. Of course, Lin Fu can't do nothing. In a short period of time, nearly 200 people gathered in the Lin family's mansion to rescue the Dongyang.

This was because most of the people living in Shanglin regarded the attack last night as a robber, and did not ask to take refuge on the Dongyang. They thought that as long as they closed their homes and persisted until the officers and soldiers came to help, they could drive the rogues away.

Today is the day when Zhao Hu and his wife returned to the Guo family in Xialinli, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, and it was not even time to evacuate the Guo family to Shanglin in time. Zhao Hu's new wife, Guo Hongying, was crying, but there was no one to pick it up, so he could only ask someone to send a letter, asking the Guo family to flee in the direction of Jiangning. Whether they could escape the disaster in time was really not optimistic.

The leaders of the water villages such as Liu An'er and Wu Shiyi who gathered the crowd this time are not simple. Although the time for them to secretly prepare is very limited, they are also given to them to nibble all the elites of the Qin family. , it is very likely that Shanglinli is an important water and land link between the north and the south, and they are likely to rely on Shanglinli to instigate hundreds of thousands of refugees stranded on both sides of the Shiliang River to act together.

Liu An'er, Wu Shiyi and others cannot simply be regarded as ordinary rogue leaders. Once they really intend to unite and instigate the refugees on both sides of the Shiliang River, it will be a very strategic and far-sighted move. In a short period of time, it swept the land of Jianghuai.

Besides leading the crowd to flee back to Jiangning, what else can Lin Bie do? I don't know if Lin Tingli will be able to get to Shiliang County in time, and I don't know what decision Lin Tingli will make in the current situation. Want him to do it well.

Lin Bie Piercing stood in the alley, frowning at the open area that was more than 200 steps wide from the shop street to the pier. It was usually used as a storage yard and an open-air grass market, but it was fatal at this time. Liu Miaozhen led the way. The cavalry could not go to the far away place, so the open space provided enough space for Liu Miaozhen's cavalry to charge.

Lin Fu and Cao Zi'ang, Zhou Pu, Ge Cunxin, Sun Jingtang, Zhao Hu, Lin Jiyuan, Chen Shouyan and others squatted on the ground to discuss, to ensure the smooth withdrawal of the Lin family to the Dongyang, and to avoid Lin Miaozhen's cavalry leading them to stay in Shanglin. The main force of the water village that came to fight hard, they must immediately organize a defensive formation at the west end of the yard and withdraw their people to the Dongyang.

To the south of Shanglinli, there was a section of Shiliang River that was only more than 40 feet wide. In that narrow channel, the Dongyang and several fast-paddle boats were sure to block the warships of the Shuizhai forces.

If Liu An'er and other Shuizhai leaders are smart enough, as long as they show a tenacious fighting will, they will avoid gnawing on hard bones. In the water battle at dawn, although the Qin family's fleet was completely surrounded and wiped out, and only a few people were rescued by the Dongyang, the victory cannot be said to be brilliant, but the main casualties of the water village were no less than seven or eight hundred people, and they naturally would not spend so much money. The price will keep them bound by Lin, but it is not in line with the strategic interests of the Shuizhai forces.

The key is to stop this wave of Liu Miaozhen's offensive. This woman is very fierce and has high tactical literacy. The nearly 200 cavalry soldiers she has gathered are also strong in combat, making it difficult to deal with.

Xiang Yong's equipment is relatively simple. The number of people who wear armor is small, and most of them are short weapons. The skinned wooden shield is also a small waist shield. There are not many bows and arrows, and most of them are soft bows such as hunting bows. Street fighting, ships, and small-scale bandit fighting are quite beneficial, but confronting cavalry in open areas, especially those with a strong will to fight, will suffer too much. , the consequences are unimaginable.

Lin Fu envoy Sun Jingtang led the Xihe congregation to assist or drive or coerce the elderly and the weak, women and children into the boat quickly. The faster they acted, the less pressure there would be. The members of the Lin family are only allowed to carry a small amount of personal belongings with them. After retreating at one time, Lin Bie has already told people that he will never wait for those who delay.

Lin Fu had the gates of the courtyards removed, and three or four Xiangyongs carried a solid wooden door at the same time, and then a small number of people with spears and spears, a total of more than sixty people, led by Chen Shouyan, formed the first line of defense. Facing the onslaught of the cavalry head-on, Lin Jiyuan led two teams of Xiangyong armed with bows and arrows, short knives, and wooden cards to form a battle. Zhao Hu was quite familiar with Xiangyong, and Lin Fu kept him by his side to help him restrain himself as the first team of the reserve team. Xiang Yong, increase the depth of the defensive formation. Then Zhou Pu and Ge Cunxin led more than 40 armored soldiers to concentrate on the two wings to prepare for attacking Liu Miaozhen's troops, and also to prevent Liu Miaozhen's troops from outflanking the two wings. No matter what the formation, the two wings are always relatively fragile, and Lin Fu also asked Cao Zi'ang and Lin Mengde to send two fast oars on the Dongyang to the upstream of Shanglinxi.

After everything was arranged properly, Lin Fuxian sent people to drive the twenty or thirty mules and horses in Lin's house to the entrance of the alley, tied oil-soaked cloth to their tails, and drove them to Liu Miaozhen's department. The envoy dragged more than a dozen carts to the west end of the yard to form a simple roadblock, and then personally led Xiangyong and armored soldiers to file away, forming a defensive formation behind the simple roadblock, blocking Liu Miaozhen to the west of the ferry.

Liu Miaozhen dispersed the frightened horses and watched Lin Fu's side's defenses are very strong, but she did not hesitate to send Zhao Neng's remnants into two teams to attack the two flanks of the Xiangyong formation, while she led more than fifty elite cavalry. The latter ones directly attacked the front of Xiangyong's defensive formation - she could see that the defensive formation formed by Lin Bie was actually strong on both wings and weak in the middle.

The Shuizhai forces are good at water warfare, but they also secretly trained some cavalry and infantry, but they have not been on a large scale. , This is the official formation of the riding horse. When Liu An'er joined the army in Jibei, he fought bravely and wisely. He was soon promoted to be an officer and was very prestigious in the army. Before the battle of Chentangyi broke out, he had already accumulated merits for the promotion to the seventh-rank military officer Yunqi. Wei, most of these 300 escaped officers and soldiers were Liu An'er's subordinates, and a small number were deserters from Haozhou, Huai'an and Dongyang who had gathered along the way. From Jibei to Hongzepu thousands of miles away, Liu An'er restrained more than 300 people to detour thousands of miles away to sneak back to Hongzepu with complete armor and even brought back hundreds of war horses. Liu An'er led the crowd to flee back to Hongzepu, where he joined his uncle Yang Quan and his sister Liu Miaozhen, which immediately increased the power of the Liu family, and made the water villages of Hongzepu's families have a core, so that they quickly united in the anti-donation movement of fishermen. .

Although the number of more than fifty cavalrymen under Liu Miaozhen was limited, they were well equipped. Except for a few children of the Liu family, most of them were loyal and brave subordinates of Liu An'er, and their combat effectiveness was much stronger than that of Zhao Neng's remnants. The fifty or so cavalry, led by Liu Miaozhen, formed a fusiform direct impact at a distance of three or four hundred paces and hit the middle section of Shangxiang Yong's defensive formation. The cavalry on the horse's back swung the saber to square away the stabbed spear, and the horse's momentum remained unabated. The horse's hooves were like heavy hammers, and three or four villagers held their backs against the wooden door panels and hit Liu Miaozhen's cavalry with horses and people nearly 500 pounds at high speed. He vomited blood on the ground, and there were two spears behind the door to fill up the thorns. The spearheads pierced from the underside of the horse's neck, the hilt hit the ground, and stabbed the warhorse's neck bone. The warhorse fell down with a wailing, smashing into countless dust, and the cavalry on the horse's back rolled off the horse. The ground dodged but was trampled by the horse's hooves of the colleagues who sprinted later. On Xiangyong's side, three or four people carried a large wooden goalkeeper and the enemy cavalry stopped abruptly. Only the enemy cavalry was delayed, and the second-line Xiangyong, who played hunting bows, short weapons, and waist cards, stopped. To rush up to play a role.

Lin Fu squeezed a sweat in his hands. If he could not delay the impact of the enemy cavalry in front of him, even if he still had two teams of reserve forces on hand, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not let three or five enemy cavalry rush through and directly attack the family team. , then the entire formation is likely to collapse.

Seeing that Liu Miaozhen could not break through the defense of Xiangyong, when she stepped off her mount and was about to hit the door panel, she took the reins, and the warhorse swiped the spear head from the middle and turned sideways, and kicked the wooden door panel with her hind hooves like a hammer. Liu Miaozhen stabbed with a backhand and cut off the two spears that had been stabbed, together with the spear and hand. The two horsemen behind her even rushed in towards the neutral position that Liu Miaozhen had flanked by and slashed the two Xiangyongs, and then followed the Xiangyong to defend. Sweep ahead. Liu Miaozhen put away the knife and took the bow, turned back on the horse and "swish" to shoot arrows. Immediately, two people shot her. Xiang Yong shot back, but she was wearing layered leather armor and was not afraid of ordinary hunting bows. She stepped off the horse's fat. He had fat muscles and a few arrows on his hips and side back, but it did not affect his running hoofs. In a blink of an eye, Liu Miaozhen’s department swept over.

After Zhao Neng's death, the remnants of Zhao Neng could only follow Liu Miaozhen, but it was impossible for Liu Miaozhen to completely incorporate them in such a short time. They had the idea of ​​sitting on the wall and watching, and had no determination to fight to the death. The armored soldiers on the two wings of the Xiangyong Defense Formation are very brave, and the arrows they shoot are fast and heavy. These cavalry soldiers who are horse thieves look at the swords held by the armored soldiers. The neck of the cavalry and the horse that rushed to the front was cut off by Zhou Pu from the side, and the head and body of the horse were instantly separated from blood and blood~www.readwn.com~ The severed neck bones of the horse are also visible in white, and the bones on the back of the horse are also visible. The knight couldn't help but swooped out and killed the two behind Zhou Pu in mid-air with a Mo knife. Naturally, the others were so cold that they did not dare to attack the formation of the armored soldiers. dodge.

The cavalry on the two wings avoided, Zhou Pu and Ge Cunxin took the time to lead the soldiers to attack Liu Miaozhen's troops from the two wings. At this time, Lin Fu and them both understood that the fifty-odd cavalry led by Liu Miaozhen was the biggest threat. Xiangyong's bow hunting was not enough to pose a threat to Liu Miaozhen's troops, but the step bows that Lin Fu provided to the Dongyang crew were all strong bows with more than eight buckets of bow strength. The range was able to shoot through the leather armor, and Liu Miaozhen's team swept away from the front of the formation and retreated to a safe distance. Although it only took a few breaths, it was enough for Zhou Pu and the others to shoot two rounds of arrows, causing Liu Miaozhen's last five or six riders to be on their backs and shoulders. Back with arrows.

This time, Lin Fu led Xiangyong to confront the Shuizhai cavalry infantry on the shore. Although the time was short, Xiangyong killed four people and injured eighty-nine people. Liu Miaozhen also suffered eighty-nine casualties. Infantry was slightly better than cavalry. Lin Fu immediately asked the organization to carry the dead body and the injured onto the boat, and the formation continued to be prepared. He saw the performance of Liu Miaozhen in the red jacket just now. The general leader of the Zhai forces is inseparable from the support of his uncle and sister. Although Liu Miaozhen gathered his subordinates in the distance, and had no intention of charging, Lin Bie did not dare to be careless. It was not until everyone in the Lin family had withdrawn to the boat that he slowly gathered his troops and boarded the fast oar boat first.
