Deng Yu, wearing a scarlet robe, stood at the top of the slope, watching the soldiers in the distance climb the wall of the village, wave the battle flag, and let out a roar that shook the mountains. The enemy defenders on the wall had been cleared; the northeast corner of the village gate
A large gap of 11 to 20 feet wide was opened. It was dug by the arrows, wood and rocks poured down by the soldiers against the top of the wall. Countless soldiers climbed up the ruins like a colony of ants, and the remaining soldiers who resisted were mercilessly beaten.
After the killing, several columns of black smoke rose up in the village, and the light of the fire was faintly visible; the heavy village gate was opened from the inside, and the generals guarding outside the village gate poured in like a tide - further away, from Huangtian Village
Hundreds of remnant enemies who have broken through are fleeing towards the mountains in the southwest...
Starting from the base of Binglin Village, thousands of lives were lost under the Beizhai wall alone before the wall was attacked. From Huangtian Village to Tongziwu on the north bank of the Qianjiang River, there are twists and turns in the valleys along the Daqing River.
Seventy miles away, there are still two big villages blocking the road; pull out Tongziwu, Chun'an City is to the east, and Wuyuan City is to the west - if every battle is fought like this, the Huinan Army will probably be killed.
Completely crippled!
"Damn it!" Deng Yu cursed secretly in his heart, and he did not feel the slightest joy when he arrived at Huangtian Village as scheduled. With a cold face, he clamped his legs tightly on the horse's belly, and, surrounded by guards, drove the horse to Huangtian Village.
Let's go to Beizhai Gate.
Ji Lie limped over, and Deng Yu asked about the casualties of the generals and the situation in the stronghold. He needed to rescue the wounded soldiers, put out the fires set by the defenders before breaking out, and send troops to chase down the remaining enemies. Many messy things were arranged.
, just as Deng Yu was about to return to the camp, several fast horses came running and brought Xie Chaozhong's order:
"Huangtian has been allocated, and the enemy troops were frightened by the news. They ordered Western Zhejiang to recruit deputy envoy Deng Yu. They immediately led their troops to pursue the victory and attack Feihuang'an and Yuyan. They must capture Tongziwu before the 15th..."
"Fuck you!" Ji Lie had a fiery temper. When he heard Xie Chaozhong delivering such a military order as if urging him to do so, he rushed forward and grabbed the courier's collar. He snatched the order from the general, smashed it on the ground and stepped on it, cursing.
, "If someone named Xie has eggs, he will lead his own troops to attack Tongziwu!"
The total casualties of the Huinan Army in the storming of Tongzilu were nearly 3,000. If the enemy forces in Feihuang'an, Yuyan Village, and Tongzilu were so difficult to defeat, they would have to attack the three villages in ten days. The Huinan Army would not reach Chun
An, Wuyuan City will be crippled beforehand, "must be before the fifteenth day". Ji Lie was so angry that he ran back to Yuling Pass, pulled out Xie Chaozhong and beat him to relieve his anger.
"Unbridled!" Deng Yu scolded Ji Lie in a deep voice for being rude to the messenger. He bent down and picked up the general order from the ground. Regardless of whether Xie Chaozhong's military order was reasonable or not, it would be difficult for Ji Lie to be tied up and beheaded for his behavior.
Begging for mercy.
With Deng Yu trying to smooth things over for Xiang Shang, the messenger's face twitched and he was about to have a seizure, but in the end he didn't. Yu Pijiang also turned his face away. If Deng Yu was expected to be the vanguard, he couldn't tie up his generals.
"The forces of the Urgent Force suffered the most casualties. They rested in Huangtian to collect supplies and wipe out the remnant enemies who had escaped. As for flying Huang'an..." Deng Yu thought for a while and said, "To defeat Huang'an, Jian Su will lead
The troops go first." Although the Huinan Army suffered heavy casualties in Huangtian Village, it still achieved more than a thousand first-level meritorious service. Next, except Tongziwu, which is considered the big village, Feihuang'an and Yuyan Village are not as difficult to defeat as Huangtian Village. Huinan Army
The Confederate army did not neglect the fight. Even if Tongziwu could not be captured before the 15th, there would be nothing to say in thanking Chaozhong. There was no need to start a dispute at this time.
"The messenger also has an order, asking Deputy Envoy Deng to lead his troops first. General Luo, under the control of the imperial camp, will divide his troops to guard Huangtian and chase down the remaining enemies..." the messenger added, pointing out that he had been interrupted just now and the order had not yet been issued.
To those.
Deng Yu opened Xie Chaozhong's handwriting, and his face became uglier the more he read it.
Ji Lie was so angry that his nose was about to smoke. The other generals of the Huinan Army also felt that Xie Chaozhong had gone too far. He gathered more than 60,000 troops in Huizhou, and the Huinan Army accounted for less than one-third. In the battle of Huangtian,
The Huinan Army suffered so many casualties, so why should the Imperial Army be sent to fight against it? If all the tough battles were fought by the Huinan Army, then the Imperial Army would only be responsible for eating shit!
Staff officer Xing Changhe gently tugged on Deng Yu's lapel from behind and said in a low voice: "Feihuang'an, Yuyan won't be that difficult to fight..."
Deng Yu thought about it too.
After Huangtian fell, if the Zhejiang and Fujian troops still resisted desperately, they should be at Tongziwu.
Although the terrain of Tongziwu is open, but it is close to the Qianjiang River, the navy of the She family can play a role. After autumn, the water level of Daqing River becomes extremely shallow, and larger warships cannot enter. Furthermore, Zhejiang Province
The Fujian Army is not without elites, nor is it without the strength to fight. If it chooses to fight, it will also be in Tongziwu, where the terrain is relatively open, instead of spending one camp at a time - the Zhejiang and Fujian Army is not Xie Chaozhong's biological mother.
If the Huinan Army is defeated and the Huinan Army is crippled, the troops and horses of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in western Zhejiang will also be crippled. There are 40,000 imperial troops waiting behind Xie Chaozhong. This kind of strategy is not suitable for
The Zhejiang and Fujian Army has no benefit at all. If he were the chief general of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army in western Zhejiang, he would have to release both the Huinan Army and the Imperial Camp Army to avoid the Huinan Army and attack the Imperial Camp Army in order to avoid the reality.
The purpose of attacking the weak is to use the weak to disturb the strong.
Deng Yu said with a livid face: "Please tell the envoys that the Huinan Army is not an ironclad army. This battle can be fought however we want. Deng Yu cannot guarantee whether Tongziwu can be captured before the fifteenth day;
If the messenger feels that it is too slow, you can ask someone else to go up..." Angrily, he threw Xie Chaozhong's handwritten letter back to the messenger, and asked Luo Wenhu to take over Huangtian Village, and the matter of chasing down the remaining enemies was also left to Luo Wenli, who took it with him
The generals entered the camp to discuss tomorrow's march.
***********
In the next few days, Deng Yu led the Huinan Army to march southward along the Daqingxi River Valley smoothly, wiping out more than a thousand enemies in Feihuang'an and Yuyan Villages. The forwards also quickly arrived at Tongziwu, where they fought with the Zhejiang and Fujian troops at Qian.
Tangle on the north bank of the river.
At the same time, the Hanghu Army captured Dengcheng Village at the fork of the Luzhu River. The Hanghu Army's naval force, Su Pinxiao, also gradually gained an advantage in the water battle with the remnants of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy, and captured Tonglu County on the 11th.
In the east, at Jiangxinzhou in the center of the Qianjiang River, the remnants of the Eastern Zhejiang Navy withdrew to the upper reaches of the Qianjiang River, and the enemy defenders in Tonglu retreated to Tonglu City to resist.
Since Tongziwu gathered a large number of defenders, with an initial estimate of more than 5,000 troops, Deng Yu took Yuyanzhai as the center of gravity and parked the Huinan Army in the lower valley of Daqing River to set up camp and rest - considering that the scale of the war in Tongziwu was very large.
However, Yu Bijiang stayed in Huangtian Village on the pretext of coordinating the transportation of grain and fodder.
Feihuang's village was subsequently taken over by the imperial army led by Luo Wenhu.
The ordinary generals of the imperial camp are fearful of war from beginning to end. If they were not forced to fight, it would be great if they could survive the entire western Zhejiang war without using a sword or a gun. However, the middle and upper-level generals of the imperial camp
, even though he was greedy for life and afraid of death, after seeing the Huinan Army's three battles and three victories, he was inspired by it, and at this time he also wanted to kill the enemy and gain military merit.
Huangtian Village and Feihuang'an were successively captured, and hundreds of remnants of the enemy managed to escape. Three to four hundred remnant soldiers fled into a small Shanyi village in the deep valley of Xiling and resisted stubbornly.
Luo Wenhu, who stayed behind in Huangtian and Feihuang'an, was responsible for supporting the middle road and transporting grain and grass. He was also responsible for clearing out the remaining soldiers along the road. He sent two groups of people forward and backward, but neither of them could capture the small village, which was only surrounded by a thin stone wall.
Luo Wenhu also felt annoyed.
On the 14th, Luo Wenhu personally led three battalions of soldiers to rush over the mountains and valleys to support him, hoping to capture this unknown mountain stronghold in one fell swoop so that Deng Yu would not have any excuse to delay ahead.
The imperial camp army occupied a slope in front of the village, leveled the terraces of the Shanyi people, and set up temporary tents. Knowing that there were not many enemy soldiers here, the imperial camp army was seven or eight times more than the enemy soldiers.
Bijiang also came over to join in the fun, and walked over the mountains and valleys for a day. Although it was hard, standing under the thatched tent and looking at the village in front, I felt a little proud. I thought about who could have such an experience when I return to Jiangningli.
Alongside him?
Unfortunately, when Yu Bijiang arrived with his army, it rained heavily. He was wearing a raincoat and his clothes were soaked. It was getting late and the dense rain covered the surrounding areas in darkness.
Under the rain curtain, the Shanyi people's mountain stronghold walls were only as high as their chests, and were far less solid than those of Huangtian Village.
Yu Bijiang was quite puzzled: "There are only three to four hundred people inside, why can't we take them down? The remaining enemies here have not been eliminated, so Deng Yu has an excuse to stop advancing!"
Luo Wenhu was the general who stayed in the middle. He had more than 10,000 troops in the imperial camp. He couldn't even clear out the remnants of the enemy who had fled, and his family had lost face.
Luo Wenhu looked ugly and reprimanded his subordinates in a low voice: "As soon as the rain stops, beat me to death! If we can't defeat it by tomorrow, you shouldn't lead the troops."
"It has rained, the ground is very slippery, and there is no clear road to walk on," said the captain who led the troops into the mountain to suppress the enemy. "The enemy soldiers in the stockade are very fierce. Can they be trapped like this?"
Die inside, and when they run out of food, they will naturally surrender..."
"You fucking have the nerve to say this." Luo Wenhu kicked him over.
The captain was kicked and rolled to the ground. Before he could get up to plead guilty, something strange happened down the slope. He saw hundreds of people in the village emerging from the wooden building where the barbarians lived. They were all naked in the rain, topless.
Holding a broadsword in hand, they pushed down the gate of the village, crossed the stone wall, and charged towards the hillside. Only the two soldiers at the front came with shields or bare armor, wrapped in two rushing vehicles.
There were soldiers stationed at the foot of the hillside. It was raining heavily at this time, and the bowstrings softened when wet. The imperial soldiers guarding the hillside could not shoot arrows in the rain to stop them. The enemy soldiers rushed forward in almost the blink of an eye. The large forest was cut into the wall.
The camp is also simple and crude, and the front wall of the camp will fall down every time...
Yu Bijiang was relatively calm at the beginning, and only three or four hundred enemy soldiers were killed. However, they had a thousand soldiers down the slope, and there were more than two thousand soldiers here. But when the thousand soldiers and horses down the slope arrived,
After being defeated in less than a stick of incense, Yu Pijiang's face began to turn blue and his legs began to feel weak...
When four hundred enemy soldiers broke through the camp at the foot of the slope and were heading this way, Yu Bijiang almost collapsed to the ground. Luo Wenhu divided his troops to intercept them. In the heavy rain, the soldiers in the imperial camp kept their clothes and armor in order, but they were not affected by the rain.
Toru, the behavior is a little difficult, but the key is that the four hundred remnants of the enemy are attacking from behind. They are like wolves and tigers, with a fierce look in their eyes. It is frightening to look at them. How to defeat them?
