Lord of the House - v12 Chapter 83

(Well, there are only a few chapters left, and “Xiaochen” is about to say goodbye to the brothers; the new book will probably be uploaded as soon as July, although it has not been written yet; tears)

Looking at the criss-crossing corpses on the battlefield, the war horses whose masters died in battle and were frightened by Huaidong’s artillery fire, rampaged on the battlefield… Tong Huacheng, who was hiding in an unnamed low mountain, wanted to cry but had no tears, and looked at Na He, whose face was ashen. Wu Gu, under the cover of Huqi, rode behind the low mountain, and persuaded with a weeping voice: “The casualties are too heavy, we can’t fight like this anymore…”

“If you want to retreat, where should you retreat?” Na Hewu’s beard was like needles, his eyes were bloodshot, and the **** battle of the past day made him look like a gambler who lost a red eye. Facing Tong Huacheng’s advice, he reprimanded him sharply. .

Hearing Na He Wugu’s stern reprimand, Tong Huacheng sat on the rock with a buttocks, and was speechless: the fact is just as Na He Wugu said, once the battle of Fenghe begins, it is difficult to stop. .

Yanjing City is just 80 miles northwest of Fenghe River. From Fenghe River to the northwest, there is no dangerous terrain that can slow down the westward advance of the Huaidong Army. Behind them is Anxu City, and Anxu City, which is only four or five miles around and located in the hinterland of the Eastern Jidong Plain, is obviously not a good place for tens of thousands of cavalry to retreat and defend.

Since the Huaidong Army had 10,000 to 20,000 elite brigades on each flank of Chaobai River and Guoshui River, even if they retreated, they could not pull out enough battlefield gaps and detoured in through the gaps, including the Huaidong Army. The rear flank of the soldiers in the middle.

Without the spirit of blood and courage, they could not face the Huaidong Army’s front and carry out counter-charges again and again, so they could only retreat to Yanjing City.

They retreated to Yanjing City, and the Huaidong Army would also advance to Yanjing City in the shortest possible time. If the timing was delayed to this point, they would not even have time to abandon the capital and flee westward.

The Beiyan cavalry, who were clumsy in defending the city, retreated to Yanjing City. Facing the Huaidong Army, which was better at siege warfare, they might not be able to perform better than the Fenghe battlefield.

It seems that their casualties are extremely heavy, but the Huaidong Army is not without casualties, and even the defense line has been repeatedly defeated by them, but the three iron beam bridges lying on the Fenghe River are that kind of dazzling. .

Originally, every time they penetrated the Huaidong Army’s front on the west bank, as long as they could destroy the bridge in time, they would have the opportunity to encircle and wipe out the remnants of the west bank, and they would be able to defeat the Huaidong Army again and again. There is a rare opportunity to rest in the gaps of the battlefield…

However, it is the existence of the three iron beam bridges in the Hancun River crossing, so that the advance of the Huaidong Army’s generals to the west bank will not be interrupted by the strong attack here; on the contrary, the gap between each charge here, It was a good opportunity for the Huaidong Army to enter Hancundu’s west bank to reorganize its troops and strengthen and extend its defense line.

The wounded and soldiers were transported to the east coast by small boats, and the war weapons and armored soldiers were continuously replenished from the iron beam bridge to the west coast front.

In the beginning, the Huaidong Army’s front on the west bank of Hancun was only two or three hundred meters deep. It is more than a thousand meters wide in the depths of the west bank, and a large number of war weapons, including dozens of artillery pieces, have also been transported to the west bank to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the front.

At this time, I wanted to tear apart Huaidong’s defense line on the west bank of Hancundu once again, and kill it near the river bank, but the price paid was several times higher. Although in the fierce battle, they also sent troops and horses to the artillery positions hastily deployed by the Huaidong Army on the west bank, and set fire to blow up several artillery pieces, but the price paid was so heavy that Tong Huacheng, who met the **** incident, could not bear to look directly Of.

In less than a day and a night, nearly 20,000 casualties were accumulated on the battlefields on the west bank of the Fenghe River. Who could bear to look directly at these bleak and cruel battles?

Thinking of this, Tong Huacheng hardened his confidant again, stood up, stopped Na Hewugu, and persuaded: “A hard battle, the outcome of the battle is in front of you. Even if the remaining 40,000 sons are all wiped out. , also failed to severely dampen the vitality of the Huaidong Army. On the contrary, we can no longer gather more reinforcements near Yanjing, and the Huaidong Army occupies Jinhai and will not retreat, and can continuously transport troops and horses from the sea. , the troops will be exhausted in the first battle, do you still need to look for it next…”

During the Hancundu battle just past, the two grandsons under the age of sixteen of He Wugu died in the battle, and even the bodies could not be recovered. He Wugu was like losing a red-eye bet. Disciple, Tong Huacheng’s words just made him hesitate for a moment, his face softened a little, but after a while he shook his head resolutely and said, “I came from the imperial capital east, and I didn’t plan to return alive. Since the founding of the country, Dayan has I don’t know how many times I have been through danger. Which time has I been a shrewd egg? Which time was not a strong enemy with flesh and blood? Your father, uncle and your two brothers all died on the battlefield, Tong There are not a thousand heroic souls that have been achieved on the battlefield, but there are also eight hundred, have they ever thought about retreating, have they ever thought about avoiding the edge of a powerful enemy?”

Tong Huacheng was at a loss for words, Dayan established the clan and the country by force, although he was defeated in Huaidong by the battle of Jingxiang, but at this time, he told Dayan to give up the capital and flee to the west, and it was absolutely difficult for most generals to accept it. .

Since there was no idea of ​​abandoning the capital, he retreated to defend Yanjing City, or stayed in the Fenghe West battlefield to fight to the death. The difference was actually not that big. However, at this time, Tong Huacheng was unable to make Nahe Wugu and other generals change their minds. I can’t see any hope in the road ahead, I can only stand there in vain and despair, watching the blood flow into rivers on the battlefield where the corpses are crisscrossed in the distance…

****************

On the east bank of the Fenghe River, the Huaidong Army’s middle road troops and horses front-line camp, the combat staff are nervously marking the latest positions of the enemy’s infantry and cavalry units on the map.

Lin Fu also stayed in Jinhai and took charge. Gao Zongting, Yang Yihang, Song Shixing and others who were in charge of the frontline command, took advantage of the gaps in the battlefield to repeatedly study the current battle situation to ensure that there was no omission.

The war has gone on until now, and the first jockey has not had a chance to be sent to the battlefield. Zhou Puhe stayed up all night. Although he was dissatisfied, he also sat in the command tent and waited for the fighter to restrain himself from interfering with Gao Zongting, Yang Yihang, Song Shixing and the others. Frontline command and dispatch.

Quickly galloping, galloping straight into the camp from the east, listening to the footsteps, Gao Zongting looked up and saw that Zhao Mengxiong, who was beside Lin Fu, lifted the curtain and walked in, and asked, “What is the latest instruction from the lord?”

Zhao Mengxiong handed over the letter of order issued by Lin Fu from Jinhai. In order to save time, Zhao Mengxiong briefly described the contents of the letter to the audience: “Jinhai knows the latest battle situation in Fenghe, and knows that the enemy forces are attracted to it. The line from Luohedian, Zhangjiawan to Sandunqiao on the west bank of the Fenghe River has no sign of withdrawing tonight. I would like to ask the front line: Can the first jockey go from the south bank of the Eddy River or the north bank of the Chaobai River before dawn tomorrow. Going west and outflanking to the enemy’s rear, is there any possibility that the left and right flanks will coordinate to pinch the enemy from the flanks and wipe them out on the west bank of the Fenghe River?”

Hearing Lin Bie asking about the possibility of transferring the first jockey out of the detour in Jinhai, Zhou Pu suddenly came to his senses.

By this time, the troops and horses that the Huaidong Army had landed from the Jinhai Sea had actually far exceeded the troops intercepted by Yanhu in the west of the Fenghe River, excluding the naval division, the newly-formed brigades, the reserve brigades and the workers’ battalion. 501, 503, 504, Lu 703 and Denghai Town Division, the first jockey are the main ones, and the number of elite soldiers of the Mabu Army reached 90,000…

In addition to leaving 15,000 elite soldiers and horses in Jinhai as reserve troops, more than 70,000 soldiers were pushed along the Fenghe River and on the two flanks on the 17th, which can be used as second-line soldiers and horses to enter the battlefield as a new brigade and reserve. The brigade also had as many as 20,000 people. The total number of troops and horses of the Huaidong Army on the battlefields on both sides of the Fenghe River has already been twice as many as the number of enemy soldiers intercepted in the west of the Fenghe River.

Most importantly, the Yanhu soldiers and horses who were responsible for intercepting the westward advance of the Huaidong Army in the west of Fenghe were not alert enough to this, and their tactical actions were hesitant and blunt. …

********************

It was night on the seventeenth, and Tianqing remained the same. The first jockey, who had never had a chance to enter the battlefield, traveled northward from the area east of Fenghe, crossed the battlefield on the right wing controlled by Chu Zheng, and traveled westward overnight.

When Zhou Pu led the first jockey across the Chaobai River and entered the territory of Xianghe County on the north bank, Chu Zheng and Zhang Gou, which had been stagnant on both sides of the Chaobai River and the Guoshui River since the 12th, also expanded westward overnight. The soldiers and horses in the middle road on both sides of the Wind River formed a **** mouth that wanted to swallow the enemy troops in Anxu, while the first jockey who traveled west at night seemed to roll out the tip of his tongue, trying to take all the enemy soldiers who might flee westward. all entangled in…

Although the west bank of Fenghe River is dominated by plain terrain, there are also several small mounds that can block the shelling.

At night on the 17th, General Beiyan, who had just realized that even a small mountain could well stop the artillery fire of Huaidong Fu Huobi, was planning to move his cavalry closer to the west line of the Huaidong Army. After a few small mounds, in order to be able to launch an attack on the flanks of the Huaidong Army’s front at a closer distance.

The advantage of the cavalry is always on the flanks, and the Huaidong artillery is obviously not dense enough to cover the battlefield on the flanks. Even if the terrain such as ponds and small ditches are used to cut the Huaidong army front, it is still possible to find them. Many gaps for cavalry attacks.

When nearly 20,000 generals and soldiers were left on the battlefield a day and a night, the Beiyan troops and horses west of Fenghe did not collapse, but under the pressure of life and death, they figured out the strengths and weaknesses of the Huaidong Front, and made targeted tactical arrangements. , intending to create conditions as far as possible to attack the Huaidong Army’s front from the flank with a more dispersed cavalry after nightfall on the 17th.

From the 16th night to the 17th, the Huaidong Army entered the troops and horses on the west bank of the Fenghe River. With the purpose of expanding the front line on the west bank, they deliberately used the artillery shells of the east bank to cover and cut off more enemy soldiers, mainly extending the front line defensively. , the active attack situation is insufficient.

Sincerity, this kind of front deployment has many weaknesses, but it is not the turn of the Beiyan troops to adjust their tactics against these weaknesses. On the 17th and night, the Huaidong Army’s troops and horses entered the west bank of the Fenghe River and attacked the two flanks in the middle on the north and south sides. With the cooperation of the soldiers and horses, their sharp and ferocious fangs were exposed, and the battalion brigade as a unit rushed to the Beiyan soldiers and horses stationed in Luohedian, Zhangjiawan, Weiqiao, Changziying and other places overnight…

In the eve of the battle, the second and third brigades of the Denghai Township Division suffered heavy casualties. They stayed on the east coast as a reserve team. A reserve brigade with more than 15,000 elites as the main force, mainly attacking the enemy stationed in Zhangjiawan, which is on the battlefield of Hancundu, is also one of the main stations of Yanqi on the west bank of Fenghe. After the **** and hard battle on the west bank last night, it is still There are more than 15,000 enemy troops stationed in the horse infantry.

In line with the main attack of Chen Zhu’s troops, Han Caizhi’s first and third brigades, as well as a new brigade of nearly ten thousand troops, attacked the flank of the enemy in Zhangjiawan from the southeast.

On the east bank of the Fenghe River, due to the large section of the river bank, it was very difficult for the heavy artillery vehicle to travel, and it could not be deployed freely in the wild. After entering the West Bank, the four-jin-class light artillery weighs only 400 jin, and the eight-jin-class artillery weighs only more than 700 jin. Together with the tractor, it is more complicated to be dragged by two to four horses. terrain.

The Huaidong Army crossed Fengqiao only on the night of the 16th. After nearly a day and a night of **** battles, the troops and horses who crossed the river completed the adjustment of the westward offensive on the 17th and the night. He Wugu, Tong Huacheng and other Beiyan generals were stunned…

Beiyan’s soldiers and horses gathered in the west of Fenghe ~www.mtlnovel.com~ for the survival of the family and the tribe, inspiring the last blood and courage, not afraid of sacrifice or death on the battlefield, and able to face the fierce artillery fire. Rushed into the heavily defended Huaidong Army battle formation.

In the same way, since the establishment of the Huaidong Army, from the general to the pawn, there has been high morale and a desire to win victory. How can there be any fear in the face of the dying Hulu prisoners?

Surprised but surprised, but Nahe Wugu and other Beiyan generals regarded the Huaidong Army’s active attack as a rare opportunity for them to defeat the Huaidong Army. Immediately formulate a plan to concentrate troops on its way.

However, after nightfall, he received the news that the Huaidong Army on the Chaobai River and the Guoshui River were both moving westward at the same time. There was even a cavalry in the Huaidong Army that showed signs of outflanking their back road. Tong Huacheng realized the strength of the Huaidong Army. It is likely that there are more than they imagined, and they intend to encircle them in the area west of Fenghe.

Tong Huacheng advised Nahe Wugu to take the last chance to break through the encirclement and retreat westward, but Nahewugu ignored it, thinking that he would have the opportunity to lead the 15,000 elites stationed in Zhangjiawan to defeat them from the due east and southeast. enemy soldiers.

In fact, as long as the Huaidong Army all the way is defeated, the current battle situation can be greatly improved, and the situation cannot allow Na Hewugu not to gamble.

Tong Huacheng, who has been in charge of spying on the military situation in Huaidong for a long time, was desperate. Even when the Huaidong Army was first established, Lin Su led the Jiangdong Left Army at that time, and it was still able to use less than twice the force in Jinhai. Soldier, annihilate the 4,000 elite cavalry led by He Xiongqi; at least at this time, the Huaidong Army has not yet suffered a defeat at the brigade-level front-in both directions of Zhangjiawan, killing it. It is a two-way town division-level soldier, Tong Huacheng doesn’t think that He Wugu’s counterattack can create any miracle… My QT room is open!
