Chapter 404: Repeated Achievements

Chai Rong's infantry can be called one of the few in the world.

The first to cross the pontoon bridge were the most elite teams of Zhou soldiers, and this elite division, under the leadership of Zhao Kuangyin, quickly headed towards the nearest Wulingdu.

In fact, no one expected that there would be a Zhou army attacking from the shore, so Wu Lingdu at this time was defenseless.

The unsuspecting elite of the naval army at Wuling Ferry was quickly routed under the attack of Zhao Kuangyin's elite division. Because Chai Rong had long said that the most important thing in this campaign was to eliminate the living forces of the Southern Tang Naval Army, Zhao Kuangyin mainly focused on destroying the enemy and rarely accepted surrenders, which also led to the acceleration of the war.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin's speed is the fastest, and Li Jingjin, who reacted, is not slow, just when Zhao Kuangyin and others destroyed the 10,000 naval army in Wulingdu, they met the infantry of the Southern Tang Dynasty on a narrow road.

This was a fierce land battle, both sides were elite teams, the Zhou soldiers were slightly stronger, but the number of people limited by the pontoon bridge was not too much, and the Southern Tang soldiers were slightly weaker, but they were superior to the Zhou soldiers in numbers.

Chai Rong had already expected this phenomenon, and in reality, this is also the way he is used to fighting, and he likes to move forward bravely to fight with his life. All of a sudden, the two sides fought together, and gradually, the blood of the soldiers of the two armies stained the land under their feet red, and also stained the water of the Huai River.

Just when the battle between the two sides was at its worst, dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder bursts, and then a torrential downpour poured down from the sky.

In the sky, the rain is pouring down, and the ground is constantly fighting.

At this moment, no one was lucky, and Li Jingjin also went into battle to kill him personally when he saw Chai Rong finally appear on the battlefield.

At this moment, the torrential rain was like a note, and everyone's attention was focused on the battlefield where the two armies were fighting, but no one noticed that on the big lake of Bashan, which was only fifty miles away from the battlefield, countless guards of the Fan Yang Lu clan had gathered, and these guards were busy digging the embankment of the lake dam.

The rain is like a wash, and the thunder is bursting!

With the concerted efforts of thousands of strong, the embankment of the Bashan Lake was dug open, and with a loud bang, in the blink of an eye, countless lake waters converged into a torrent, mixed with the heavy rain in the sky, and rushed towards the Yangshan River downstream.

In the blink of an eye, the Yangshan River, which was originally just a shallow river, was flooded by the sudden water of the lake and dam mixed with the torrential rain, and it quickly became a big river, and the direction of this big river was the direction of the Xiyu crossing of the Huai River.

After most of the day's river flow, coupled with the impact of this heavy rain, the wood located at Xiyu Ferry and Dingkou Ferry has long been washed downstream by the river. At this moment, a fleet of boats belonging to the family swelled from the river, and finally the Yangshan River, which was available for large boats, sailed into the Huai River.

No one would have expected that such an army would fall from the sky! No Southern Tang army would have thought that someone would use the Yangshan River to carry out a surprise attack!

At this time, a real surprise soldier fell from the sky!

The most important thing is that whether it is Li Jingjin, Guo's father and son, all the Southern Tang generals, their attention is on the infantry. At this time, at the Xiyu Ferry, except for some sailors who were not good at land warfare, there was not even a decent general.

And the soldiers of the family who fell from the sky are all divisions of a hundred battles.

In the blink of an eye, these ships from the upstream rushed into the Xiyu Ferry, and in the blink of an eye, a rocket that could not be extinguished suddenly appeared magically, shooting into the ships of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and a small group of elite sailors under the leadership of the major families entered the unsuspecting navy.

Because the dragons have no leader, because they were unexpected, the Southern Tang Navy at this moment has no power to resist at all!

And when the drums of several ferries for help reached Li Jingjin's ears, it was already a day later, and at this time, he also got the news that the 50,000 elite sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty had all been killed by the Zhou army!

When the news came, knowing that it was caused by the sons of the family from the Yangshan River upstream, taking advantage of the rainstorm to launch this raid, Li Jingjin couldn't bear it anymore, he opened his mouth and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then, Chai Rong bent his bow and arrow, and a cold arrow swooped into Li Jingjin's right chest!

With a "bang", Li Jingjin fell on horseback, and there was a burst of cheers from the direction of Zhou Bing!

With the news of the direction of the naval army, with the fall of Li Jingjin, the Southern Tang soldiers soon collapsed. Guo's father and son resisted stubbornly, and when the army was defeated like a mountain and they were captured by Chai Rong, the father and son knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, and there was a sad voice on the battlefield!

Chai Rong personally dismounted and helped Guo Yanwei up, he said, "There are so many generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, except for Li Jingjin, only you, Guo Yanwei, broke my camp and broke my pontoon bridge, what you did is completely worthy of Li Jing." Even if Haozhou is replaced by him Li Jing to guard, what kind of guard can it be?" On the spot, Chai Rong canonized Guo Yan as the training envoy of the Haozhou regiment.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi rode over and reported: "Report! Li Jingjin's body cannot be found!"

Chai Rong said loudly: "Li Jingjin is an immortal general, such a talent must be used by me." Tell me to go down, I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die!"

"Yes!"

......

It was a huge win.

In this battle, the corpses of the elite of 50,000 naval troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty were floating all over the Huai River, and in this battle, the prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jingjin, did not know whether he was alive or dead, and the general Guo Yanwei surrendered.

This battle shook the world!

Because of the fear of Chai Rong, the remaining Southern Tang generals led the rout to retreat step by step, and soon, the Southern Tang Emperor Li Jing sent an edict, ordering the Southern Tang Army to retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and to make the final resistance with the Yangtze River. In order to reassure Chai Rong, he even revoked his name as emperor and made people call himself the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. And officially issued a document to the future Zhou to call the minister!

......

When Chai Rong returned from a great victory, the first step was to reward the sons of various families who participated in the war.

In this battle, even Jiang Mi, who originally proposed the concept of Yangshan River, was rewarded by Chai Rong.

After the meritorious deeds are rewarded, it is the class teacher who returns to the court.

When he learned that Chai Rong had broken the Southern Tang Army and that all the sons of the family had joined forces to destroy the 50,000 elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the people with the five surnames and seven hopes were ecstatic and went to the ancestral halls to worship their ancestors. In the gloomy ancestral hall of the Boling Cui clan, the old lady Cui knelt in front of the ancestors and the ancestors, and choked up with too much joy and said: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, the Southern Tang Dynasty is not enough to trouble, the new Son of Heaven is about to sweep the world, and my Boling Cui clan will be prosperous again for hundreds of years!"

Several elders also burst into tears, and one elder even fell to the ground and cried, he hissed: "Ancestors and ancestors, I have worked hard in this world, and I finally have to see the light of day...... His cry drove the emotions of everyone present, and for a while the ancestral hall cried endlessly.

After the Southern Tang Dynasty became a minister, whether it was Hou Shu or Wu Yue, or the Northern Han Khitan, they were not the opponents of the Zhou State at all. It can be said that after this battle, it will not take ten years for Chai Rong to unify the world! And the Boling Cui clan, which has jointly created a new peaceful and prosperous era with Chai Rong, will inevitably be able to prosper again for several hundred years.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cui and the elders were happy and cried, Mrs. Cui got up from the ground tremblingly, she looked at the tablets of the ancestors with tears in her eyes, and thought with relief: Everything is worth it, it's worth it!

......

It was not only the people of the Boling Cui clan who were excited, as the news of the northern front came one by one, and with the news that the elite of the Southern Tang Navy was killed, the streets of Daliang cheered and shook the sky, and people with lofty ideals cried with joy. Finally, after decades of displacement, they saw the dawn of peace in the world again.

In the limelight, Cui Zixuan's team, the teams of the major families, and Chai Rong's army gradually appeared outside the city wall.

In a carriage, Cui Ziying was excitedly looking at the convoy that entered the city gate, her beautiful face was flushed, and next to her, Mrs. Cui's eyes were full of tears of excitement. Together with Cui Ziyue, who asked for leave to go out of the palace to watch, her chin was also high at this time, and her face was proud.

Mrs. Cui kept rubbing the rosary in her hand, and with tears in her eyes, she muttered: "Ancestors bless, ancestors bless!"

Not far away, in Fan Yang Lu's convoy, Lu Li lifted the corner curtain of the carriage, and faced the mighty team, she couldn't help crying and whispered: "I didn't expect to see this day in my lifetime." ”

Thinking of surviving in the cracks over the years, Lu Li's eyes filled with more and more tears.

When Chai Rong's figure in armor appeared, it completely set off today's climax, and countless Liang people knelt on the ground at the same time, and they shouted excitedly: "Long live, long live, long live!"

Chai Rong wore armor and rode a horse, and when he heard the shouts of the people, he laughed and waved his hand to the people, Chai Rong shouted: "Fathers, please get up, if you are blessed with a great week today, we need to rejoice!"

As soon as his voice fell, the people laughed along, "Your Majesty is right, we should rejoice." "Hahahaha. In the chaotic laughter and joy, Chai Rong's hearty laughter was like a thunder drum, which made people's hearts stir and laugh even louder.

The Zhao brothers, who followed closely behind Chai Rong, were the heroes who had made many great contributions in this war, and they looked at the happy people around them, and they also grinned and laughed.

......

In all families, at this time, they are all singing and dancing, especially in the families of Fan Yang Lu and Qinghe Cui, who have made great contributions.

In the midst of extreme joy, the most proud are the elders of each family. For the first time, they have been on the move and experienced the hardships of the world over the years, and they clearly see the future of their family. And the old Fengjun of the Boling Cui family, Mrs. Cui seemed to be ten years younger overnight, Jiang Mi met by chance, and felt that she was getting younger and younger than she saw when she and Cui Zixuan got married.

......

Chai Rong did not rest for too long, and after a little rectification, he sent troops to the Khitan again.

Several other sons in law who did not make much contribution in the last battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty continued to travel north with Chai Rong this time.

Cui Zixuan didn't go, he has fought too many battles in the south and north over the years, and this battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought out an old illness and needed to recuperate for a while.

It may be a big victory, Chai Rong's expedition to the Khitan this time was very smooth, and the soldiers recovered the seventeen counties of Sanzhou without blood, and won a complete victory.

At this time, Chai Rong can be said to be in high spirits. At this time, his long sword was already aimed at Hou Shu!
