Chapter 122: The First Battle That Laid the Siege of Xizhou (I)
At the moment before Han Jumu arrived in Lang County.
Xiong Jun Shouzheng of Lang County was holding a letter and gathered in the study with Miao Jun Cheng and Luo Zhangmen of the Demon Weapon Sect with a solemn expression.
Ever since they received the news that Wei Yuxiao had defected to the enemy, they were panicked in their hearts.
It wasn't until they received the letter from Tang Xiao again that their mood fell to the bottom.
The letter did not say when Wei Yuxiao defected to the enemy, but wrote how Langjun and the Demon Weapon Sect had financed the enemy and secretly cooperated with the Grass Ji Mountain Righteous Army in the past month or so.
One by one, it is clearly written.
They're now yellow mud and falling off their crotch, and it's not but anymore.
If you want to say that they are innocent, even if you explain it to Han Zhoumu, I am afraid that you will not be trusted.
At the end of the letter, I asked how to choose a team.
If you are willing to join the camp of the Grass Thistle Mountain Rebels, hang a red cloth at the gate of the county guard mansion and the gate of the Demon Weapon Sect.
The three of them were full of entanglement at first, but then they received the news of the six counties jumping back, and they realized what kind of game Tang Xiao had set up, and in the face of such an opponent, they had no room to refuse.
And they're not alone.
So they made a decision at the same time.
On the same day, a red cloth was hung at the gate of the county guard mansion and the demon weapon faction, and after the spies of the You family saw the two red cloths, they immediately passed the news to Tang Xiao.
Now, Tang Xiao already knew that Han Zhoumu had jumped into the fire pit by himself.
He sent a letter back to Xiong Junshou and Luo Zhangmen, and also asked Pang Ye to send a secret letter to the Misty Demon Ridge, informing them of how the three forces could cooperate with their actions.
The focus of this operation was on the ships in Lang County.
In this battle, water warfare is indispensable.
One of the most luxurious boats in Lang County has already been modified by Xu Zhu, with the addition of propellers to sail without sails, and for this purpose, the sails have been removed to increase the sailing speed.
Such a luxurious ship will naturally let Han Zhoumu sit on it, and then ...... Hey, hey, hey!
When Han Zhoumu camped on the other side of the Langjiang River, Xiong County Shouqin led his subordinates to greet him and send grain and grass.
Then Han Zhoumu, under the leadership of Xiong Junshou, boarded a luxury ship and prepared to return to Lang County to inspect the armament situation of Lang County, and also to send the wounded soldiers to Lang County for treatment.
Han Zhoumu boarded the ship without sails for the first time and was surprised: "How can this ship be driven?"
Xiong Ke Shoubi respectfully introduced: "This boat uses a new technology to have an automatic paddling paddle at the bottom of the boat, and it can sail without sails. Today, I will allow my subordinates to take the state pastor to experience this new ship. ”
"Hmm. Han Zhoumu nodded, and then walked into the cabin.
The Bear Commander immediately ordered the sailors to sail the ship.
Han Zhoumu found that the speed of this sailless ship was far above that of a sailboat, as if he had found a treasure, and the haze of the previous defeat dissipated a lot.
The life and death of his subordinates is nothing, all he cares about is merit, now that he has experienced defeat and rebellion in many counties, all he needs to do is how to atone for his sins, and this unprecedented ship in front of him is a merit, as long as he reports it, he can offset some of his sins.
If he can quickly pacify the judgment of many places and destroy the bandit army in the future, relying on this ship, he will have a way to make his merits and demerits offset.
And the other side.
Tang Xiao's army had already chased to the Langjiang River, but at this time, instead of attacking the camp of the Xizhou army, he hid aside and let the spies go to investigate the situation.
When the spies reported that they had seen Han Zhoumu and his wounded soldiers board a sailless ship and sail to the river, Tang Xiao immediately summoned several major generals to discuss the battle plan.
Pang Ye, Wei Yuxiao and others were all present, they gathered on a wasteland, built a simple shed, and there were no seats, and several people stood at a table, drawing a simple map on the table.
Tang Xiao pointed to the map and said, "After Han Zhoumu's ship arrives on the other side, we will do it." At that time, Han Zhou Mu learned that the military camp of the Xizhou army had been attacked, and he would inevitably lead the soldiers of Lang County to go back by boat to support. In the process of crossing the river, we will be able to beat the Xizhou army half to death. ”
"Hehe, wonderful!" Xu Yu said, "In this way, as long as we wait for Han Zhou Mu to come over with the army of Lang County, and then let Xiong County guard jump back on the spot, it will inevitably hit the morale of the Xizhou army again, and then we and Xiong County will be able to easily destroy an army that has no morale." ”
"Nope. Tang Xiao vetoed Xu Shou's claim, and he said, "Have you forgotten the treasure ship I asked you to transform? The propeller on it is half-mechanical and half-magic circle driven, right?"
Xu was taken aback: "You mean ......"
"Hmm. Tang Xiao showed a big sinister smile, "I have asked Xiong Junshou to do something to the mechanical transmission of the propeller, and when that treasure ship sails back to the center of the river, Xiong Junshou will destroy the propeller and then jump ship, as far as I know, Han Zhoumu is a landlubber, right?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
At that time, the Xizhou army will lose the strength of a Jindan monk, and know in advance that the Langjun army is not a reinforcement, but an enemy army, and it will lose morale earlier, and thus collapse earlier.
So, the generals received their own lines of attack, and then began to wait for Hanzhou Mu to cross the river.
When the treasure ship arrived at the riverbank, it was the signal for the Grass Thistle Mountain rebels to attack.
When the spies came back with the information, the ship had docked.
The Grass Thistle Mountain Rebels surrounded them from a distance in three ways.
When the scouts of the Xizhou army saw the enemy approaching, they were so frightened that they crawled back to report the news.
The attacked beacon fire was immediately ignited, and jet-black plumes of smoke billowed upward.
The soldiers of Lang County on the other side saw the beacon fire and immediately ran over to report the situation to Han Zhou Mu and Xiong County Shou.
Han Zhou Mu was shocked, and hurriedly asked Xiong Junshou to gather the army and arrange for the sailor to come over to support.
Xiong County guards the command.
The soldiers of Lang County had already begun to assemble, and the disciples of the Demon Weapon Sect had also been secretly inserted into the army and boarded the ship with the army.
On the other side of the riverbank, the Grass Ji Mountain Righteous Army has been in close contact with the Xizhou Army.
In the rain of arrows, the cavalry on both sides killed you to death.
As the vanguard, the Deng Sect Master of the Giant Eagle Gate fought with the bag cat who took the lead in rushing over, and the battle between the two Jindan monks was not something that ordinary soldiers could interfere with, so the two of them were involuntarily separated from each other, and the aftermath of the two attacks rippled in this area.
General Lin of Wuzhou temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief, but when he saw that Wei Yuxiao was fighting on the front, he handed over the command to a general who built the foundation and cultivated, and took out a golden bow that could hurt Brother Jindan, bent the bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow at Wei Yuxiao.
Wei Yuxiao knew that there was a bow-shaped magic weapon among the enemy army, so he would naturally be on guard in advance.
When the arrow came, she resolutely avoided it, and even returned a blow with a sniper rifle, but this blow did little damage to General Lin.
Soldier against soldier, general against general.
The two Jindan monks were equally riveted.
