The Guangling tide, which is "spectacular in the world", began on August 1, with the influx of sea water at the mouth of the Yangtze River, surging and sweeping the heavens and the earth, like an avalanche. And the place where the tide is most violent is just between Jingkou and Guazhou.

Taking advantage of the Guangling tide, dozens of Mengchong boats were loaded with sesame oil and flammable materials, and after they were lit, they flew like arrows, hitting the iron locks and iron vertebrae blocking the river, and the raging fire instantly burned these iron tools, and then turned into a little iron mud and sank to the bottom of the river.

The night was illuminated like day, hundreds of sea dragon boats followed closely, crossed the obstacles in the river, half approached the Jingkou City, the flags rolled, the drums shook the sky, and the boulders mixed with bows and arrows smashed overwhelmingly against the city wall, creating the illusion of attacking the city with all their might; The other half quietly landed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and the elite of the Pingjiang Army came out together, rushing to Guazhou. (Guazhou was actually connected to the land on the north bank until the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and it was still a small island in the Yangtze River during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and there was a fortress at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty began to build cities.) The book puts these in advance, and the master does not need to delve into it. ）

At the same time, Xu You led the Cuiyu army across the Yangtze River by boat, landed at an inconspicuous ferry ten miles downstream of Guazhou, abandoned all baggage, and only marched at night with only one day and one night of rations.

An Xiuyuan had just arrived in Guangling two days earlier, the men and horses were exhausted, and the land of Guazhou was small, and there was no surplus grain to raise an army of 30,000, and it was necessary to mobilize grain and grass, ox carts, and servants from the surrounding counties, so it was impossible to continue to the south without seven or eight days of repair. Moreover, the defense line of Jingkou and Guazhou was impregnable in the eyes of the imperial court, and he was not in a hurry for a while, and when the Yangzhou army fought a series of fierce battles and lost troops, he would join the battle again, form an encirclement from the back, gather and annihilate it, which was the first contribution to countering the rebellion.

Therefore, when the tide suddenly came, and Zhang Huai launched a general attack at any cost, An Xiuyuan should still be sleeping in Guangling City with Meiji in his arms. Xu You led his troops to arrive at Yangzi Town, which is located in the middle of Guangling and Guazhou, the beacon fire over Guazhou has been burning for more than an hour, and the three-way messenger sent for help was caught by Qingming who was waiting on the way to pass, and intercepted the letter of Shang Yong, the guard general of Guazhou.

The letter said that the rebels were desperately attacking the city, and judging by their ambitions, it seemed that they were going to finish their work tonight, and hoped that His Highness would come to help quickly, but he would be too late. His Majesty was ordered to stick to it, and to serve the country only to death, and he should do his best to wait for the king...... The situation in Guazhou may be very urgent, but it is not in danger, Shang Yong is afraid of peace and hesitation, if he really wants to delay it for a day or two, it is too late, then he still someone's body will be cold.

However, this letter was in Xu You's arms, he ordered the whole army to repair on the spot for half an hour, ate dry food, rested his strength, and then ambushed in the reeds of the Dongcheng River in Yangzi Town, with swords and guns low, and his body was prostrate, the terrain here was high, and when he came from the north, he could not see any movement at all.

After waiting for half an hour, the scouts reported that the Xuzhou army had arrived five miles away. At this time, it was the darkest hour before dawn, and after a while, I felt the shaking and undulating of the earth, and the chaotic and hurried footsteps immediately entered the ears, and then in the smoke and dust, the black and overwhelming army of 30,000 people who could not see the end at a glance was like a giant python out of the mountains and forests, reflecting the faint starlight, unstoppably destroying all obstacles in the way of progress.

Qingming came back from finding out the enemy's situation, quietly lay down to Xu You's side, and said in a low voice: "The Xuzhou army was originally the most elite brigade in the foreign army, but Anxiu was far from a weapon, and after receiving the request for help, he was in a hurry to go to Guazhou. After leaving the city, there is no rule at all, even the scouts are not arranged, the front team and the rear team stretch for more than twenty miles, and the team is not known how many people are left behind, and it is the most likely time to get tired in the early morning, if you enter the ambush circle set by Lang Jun, at least ninety percent sure that you can completely defeat the enemy army......"

Xu You held his breath, and the sight of the little master of the fourth grade could almost penetrate the darkness to see the vicissitudes of life and indifferent faces of the enemy who walked in the front, and said: "The Xuzhou army is a division of a hundred battles with the Northern Wei Dynasty, even if it is spread on the embroidered pillow of An Xiuyuan, but its own combat effectiveness must not be underestimated. ”

The heralds around him immediately whispered the order to the various departments, and all of them clenched their weapons in their hands, pricked up their ears, waited for the sound of the drums and the orders of the commander, and then rushed forward and killed the enemy, or were killed by the enemy.

Bao Zuo is a homeless person joined the Cuiyu Army, and after the battle of Wuxing County, he saw blood and can be called a veteran. But he was still very nervous, his hands and feet were trembling, in order to alleviate this emotion, his mind desperately recalled the words confessed by the commander of the army before the ambush:

"Don't be afraid, what about the Xuzhou soldiers? It's also a meat man raised by his father's mother, and he will die if he cuts it with a knife, and if he stabs it with a gun, it's a big blood hole......"

"Remember to follow the drums, don't run away with the fucking stupid others. But if you're really stupid and you get fucking lost, you must see the nameplate on someone else's chest and obey the orders of the chief officer who is higher than you. Don't fight in silos, never charge alone......"

Bao Zuo hurriedly touched the nameplate on his chest, which is a unique identifier of Cui Yujun, embroidered on his chest with silk threads of different colors. For example, he is a soldier, using white silk thread, Wu Chang is cyan, Tun Chang is brown, Baijiang is red, etc., etc., compared to the Qin and Han dynasties to distinguish the military rank by crown clothing and accessories, not only easy to understand, reduce the learning cost of the soldiers, but also can be used in the most straightforward way, so that the troops who have lost the command system can be reorganized in the shortest possible time to form combat effectiveness.

"We are the first team in the team of 100 people, and courage and fearlessness are our military soul. When he went to the battlefield, he slashed at the enemy with his mountain knife and left his back to his robe. Believe in yourself, believe in your comrades, and believe that we will win......"

Bao Zuo silently recited the words brave and fearless, the wonderful thing is that the trembling hands and feet slowly regained stability, and the Wu Chang next to him witnessed the changes in Bao Zuo, because he could not make a sound during the ambush, he could only use his eyes to show encouragement and praise.

"Finally, let's say again, we rushed over to cut through the enemy, don't stop, the enemy in front of us falls, immediately rush forward, don't see if he is dead, let alone squat and cut off people's heads, naturally there are brothers behind to do the work. As for the merits, put 200 hearts, and if there is a supervisor to take care of it, it is ours, it is ours, and no one can take it away. ”

The Cuiyu Army does not judge the merits by the number of heads, which effectively avoids the delay of fighters in order to compete for heads, and even fights and grudges, and the Supervision Department is responsible for the merits, which can ensure fairness and fairness, and also reassure these soldiers who are desperate to kill the enemy.

The words of the pre-war mobilization kept echoing in the minds of Bao Zuo and even others, and the Xuzhou army marched along the official road next to the reeds unnoticed, until the giant python was nearly halfway through.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The drum sounded like thunder, Wu Chang's whole body suddenly tensed, he held the maple spear, his neck was raised reflexively, staring at the front, when he saw in the haze that the flag of the three armies with the emerald lake as the bottom and the phoenix red feather as the picture was raised high, the blood rushed to his head, his heels were forced, he jumped up, and shouted with his throat and eyes: "Kill!" ”

Bao Zuo followed closely, his eyes dyed red, and his hands clenched the hilt of the knife. At this moment, he was no longer afraid, and the most primitive wildness and courage were completely released in just a few dozen breaths of the charge.

Wherever the tip of the knife goes, it is full of enemy countries.

The Emerald Feather Army will win!

Almost instantly, 10,000 arrows were fired in unison, and the range and stability advantages of the Divine Arm Crossbow were fully demonstrated, at such a distance, there were almost no missed arrows, and the hit rate was nearly seventy percent.

Puff puff, continuous rain of arrows penetrated the thin leather armor, shot into the inferior iron armor, and directly pierced the soldiers who were not wearing armor, as if the wind was blowing wheat waves, and the Xuzhou army that had no time to react was harvested piece by piece, just between breaths, nearly 2,000 people fell in a pool of blood, wailing, shouting, screaming, mixed with the heart-rending "enemy attack" shout. I couldn't see the enemy in the dark, and I didn't know the number and scale of the enemy, but after all, the Xuzhou army was a division of a hundred battles, and after a short period of panic, it immediately shrank its soldiers, formed a circle formation, and stood a shield to defend it.

When the rain of arrows was exhausted, the first wave of charging enemy troops approached, and An Xiu, who was frightened into soft mud, ordered the most elite prestige to defend his side with 1,000 people, retreating while fighting, trying to retreat to Guangling City along the same road. Sima Tan Mo, the Governor of Xuzhou, had no choice but to let the king of Hengyang flee from the battle, and immediately took over the command, risked the arrows himself, erected the general flag, and organized the defense line with difficulty, and collided with the Cuiyu army fiercely.

When they really fought, they found that the old and weak remnants of the Shen family who stayed behind in Wuxing and the brave and good fighting Xuzhou army were not at the same level at all, and the Cuiyu army used the most five-person combined attack array, which could kill a brave general like Shen Jingang in an instant, but against the ordinary soldiers of the Xuzhou army, they often showed flaws because of the opponent's fierceness and fear of death.

The price of revealing flaws is death!

After only killing three enemies, Bao Zuo's captain was cut off by the enemy because he went to save another soldier in the same army, leaving only a trace of tendon and skin, his head was crooked, and his two eyes bulged out and wanted to crack, but the expression on his face in the end was still so decisive and fierce.

Bao Zuo desperately stabbed the maple spear into the man's heart, avenging the captain, but the dead man would not come back to life, he didn't even have time to shed tears, and quickly merged with the two brothers who were still alive into the next team, obeyed the command of the new captain, and stabbed into the enemy's chest and abdomen.

Chisel through! Chisel through!

If you can't take advantage of the first hand to cut through the opponent's defense line and divide it into several sections so that it can't take care of the end of the attack, and when you react and organize an effective defense, the sneak attack will turn into a war of attrition. Xu You believed that with the combat effectiveness of the Cuiyu Army, it should be possible to achieve the final victory, but if the loss is too great, the gains will outweigh the losses, and even if the victory is over, it will be defeated.

Xu You's position is on the hill next to the Dongcheng River, you can see the entire battlefield, Ming Jing led the headquarters from the neck of the giant python to kill, he was barearmed, holding a double knife in his hand, and the person who saw it was killed, such as entering the realm of no one, but the connection between the front and back was not very good, the part that broke into was too fast, and the follow-up follow-up was slightly slow, and the opening that was finally opened could not be further expanded, and it was soon blocked by the more experienced and experienced Xuzhou army, resulting in a delay in opening the situation, like a rapidly spinning ball hitting the net, Although it seems like it is about to break through the net, it is always a little bit of luck.

Responsible for breaking through the middle section was Qi Xiao, who personally led the team, and faced the most elite general guards of the Xuzhou Army. This is the real collision of iron and blood, this is the new equipment, scientific training and advanced tactical ideas and the old powerhouse that has been fighting for many years, no fancy hand-to-hand combat, sparks of swords and guns stabbing armor, shining with broken arms and stumps, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, and in the end, the winner is determined by who can't stand it first, who is afraid first, and who collapses first!

Both sides are like beasts that smell blood, entangled with each other, strangling and fighting. Bao Zuo always rushed to the front, and personally killed seven enemies, and suddenly slashed in the air, he hurriedly retracted his strength, and found that there was no enemy in front of him, and it turned out that he had chiseled through the midbelly.

"Quick, go to the left! Keep up, don't stop, don't stop! ”

This is the third chief officer of Bao Zuoheel, and it is the head of another Shi, which shows how tragic the battle is. He only felt that his feet trembled, his hands were a little weak, and the tip of the knife pointed obliquely to the ground, as if he had a thousand pounds of weight, and he couldn't lift it. At this time, someone held his arm from behind, it was Shi Jian Lu Zheng, his usually cold face showed a rare show of concern, his knife was still dripping blood, and he had obviously killed a lot, and said: "Brother, don't fall behind, hold on for a while, we will win soon." ”

The Supervision Department has never been a spy agency like the Division's subordinate government, the Supervision Department is first and foremost a soldier, and when he goes to the battlefield, he must participate in the battle with all the soldiers to kill the enemy, in addition, it must also shoulder the wartime duties such as boosting morale, recording the results of the battle, and checking the authenticity and falsehood. Therefore, Bao Zuo is not only in awe of Lu Zheng, but also admires in his heart, which is the reward he received with the corpse of the enemy who died under the knife, and it is deserved.

Lu Zheng took a few steps forward, turned around and said, "Follow me, don't die!" ”

Bao Zuo nodded vigorously, his whole body was full of strength again, he roared, followed Lu Zheng's footsteps, and pounced like a tiger and wolf on the enemy who was still resisting.

As the mid-abdomen was chiseled, the sky also brightened, and I could basically see the teammates around me and the enemy soldiers in front of me. Ming Jing's naked upper body was full of bloodstains, but his face was delicate like a woman picking lotus in Jiangnan, giving people a strange feeling of enchantment. He had just slashed an enemy general who was not weak under the knife, the pressure suddenly decreased, he knew that Qi Xiao was the first to complete the task, the Xuzhou army began to transfer the soldiers in front to the middle, wiped the blood on his face with his hands, and the double knives went down the mountain like a tiger, and finally bit the neck of the giant python into two.

To deal with the giant python, pinch the head and cut off the tail and chisel the middle abdomen, which is a common means for tubes. Now the head of the Xuzhou army was choked by Ming Jing, and the abdomen was chiseled through by Qi Xiao, but Tang Zhijian, who was in charge of the broken tail, was broken through by An Xiuyuan's prestige, and let go of 3,000 people - these are An Xiuyuan's descendants, many of them are the old subordinates and noble children brought from Jinling, and then come to Xuzhou to mix some qualifications, not the Xuzhou army, if they want to fight with the enemy who doesn't know where they come from, it is better to ask the gods for help.

Zuo Yan stood next to Xu You, slightly uneasy. Although Tang Zhijian is the old department of the Xu family, he picked it up single-handedly, and now he has his own department, serving as a school captain, and he is the main force responsible for the break this time, and he is to blame for such a catastrophe.

"Marshal, I'll take someone to plug the mouth!"

"No need! This is not Tang Zhijian's fault, it must be An Xiuyuan and his subordinates who broke through. Xu You said in a deep voice: "Who would have thought that the coach would escape first without a score?" However, Yan Yang is waiting there, and An Xiu can't run away! ”

(Happy New Year!) Another year has passed, and I work hard to write as soon as possible, thanks! Thanksgiving! ）
