Time turned back slightly, back to the moment when Xiang Zhuang led the commando team of the young marshal's army suddenly out of the camp and rushed to the ferry docked on the shore of Surabaya at full speed.

At that moment, of course, Xiang Kang was staring closely at the other side of Surabaya on the high ground in the camp, staring at the reaction of the Qin army's camp, and he was somewhat worried in his heart - but Xiang Kang was not afraid that Xiang Zhuang would lose the battle, the commando team of the young marshal army led by Xiang Zhuang was an elite team carefully selected from the main force of the young marshal army with more than 10,000 people, and the combat effectiveness could be trusted, and the equipment was also the best, not only carried all the best weapons, but also every soldier was wearing cowhide armor snatched from the Qin army. And a considerable part of it is still the best rhinoceros leather armor of this era, even if the assault fails, it is enough to block the counterattack of the Qin army and hold out until the follow-up army of the young marshal's army crosses the river.

Xiang Kang was afraid that Xiang Zhuang would not be able to complete the task of completely defeating the Qin army on the other side, if he could not do this, let Zhao Zhuang's troops flee into Pengcheng City, and Pengcheng County ordered Wang Yong to refuse to accept the bribe of the young marshal's army, and the next Pengcheng offensive and defensive battle would naturally be difficult to fight. Only by completely defeating Zhao Zhuang's troops, so that Zhao Zhuang can only flee into Pengcheng with a few remnants of the defeated army, or it is better to force Zhao Zhuang's remnants to flee directly to other cities, this is the real purpose of Xiang Kang's painstaking arrangement of this assault battle.

The more tense things were, the more things happened, and when the commando team led by Xiang Zhuang rushed onto the ferry at the fastest speed, the soldiers suddenly handed a letter written by Xiang Bo with chicken feathers in front of Xiang Kang, and said that it was the current Pengcheng guard of the young marshal's army, Xiang Xian, who sent a fast horse to deliver it. And because the letter was pasted with a chicken feather signal representing 100,000 urgency, Xiang Kang could only quickly open the sealed mud, take out the sealed mud Xiang Bo's letter and hurriedly watch it, but only looked at a small part of the beginning, Xiang Kang crooked his nose on the spot!

It turned out that the letter sent by Xiang Bo from the southern front battlefield at a great cost of manpower and material resources turned out to be a letter with a small report, accusing Feng Zhong, the newly appointed commander-in-chief of the southern battlefield of Donghai County, of not listening to good advice and being stubborn for his own use.

Annoyed and annoyed, but after taking a closer look at the details of the letter, Xiang Kang felt a little strange, because Xiang Bo really didn't deliberately play with right and wrong this time, but Feng Zhong did a little inexplicable this time, personally led the army to attack Huaiyin from the east of Xutai, and when the main force of the Donghai County soldiers had been completely wiped out and Huaiyin had become a lonely city, Feng Zhong not only categorically rejected the surrender suggestions put forward by everyone, but openly played the banner of revenge, declaring that he wanted to avenge the young marshal soldiers who died in the previous attack on Huaiyin. The Huaiyin Qin army, which was trapped in the lonely city, resisted stubbornly, adding countless obstacles for the young marshal's army to take Huaiyin. Xiang Bo personally came forward to persuade him, but Feng Zhong refused to listen, and Xiang Bo was angry, so he wrote a letter to Xiang Kang to make a small report.

"Really? With such a big matter, no matter how much Xiang Bo is two hundred and five, it is impossible to openly talk nonsense, right? If it was true, Feng Zhong had taken the wrong medicine, how could he use such a stupid trick? ”

I felt strange in my heart, but the battle in front of me was too urgent, and Xiang Kang didn't have time to carefully calculate whether Feng Zhong's move had another purpose, or was it really like what Xiang Bo said, the villain did something wrong when he got his will, and took the lives of the young marshal soldiers as a child's play? After hurriedly handing over Xiang Bo's letter to Zhou Zeng, who was curious about the content of the letter, Xiang Kang temporarily put the matter behind him and concentrated on paying attention to the war situation on the West Bank. But fortunately, the Qin army that hurriedly left the camp to prepare for the battle made Xiang Kang feel relieved, and the brave performance of the commando team of the young marshal army also reassured Xiang Kang......

…………

There was no waste of time to put down the springboard, the young marshal army ferry carrying the flag of Xiang Zhuang had just landed on the west bank of Surabaya, Xiang Zhuang was the first to jump on the land on the west bank, and the young marshal soldiers who had done enough to mobilize before the war followed suit, and rushed to jump directly on the west bank of Surabaya, and quickly gathered around the flag of Xiang Zhuang, and then before the young marshal soldiers got off the boat, and there was no time to sort out the formation of the team, Xiang Zhuang roared loudly, decisively led the army to charge, and finally the young marshal army commando of less than 1,000 people roared like thunder, It was like a sharp arrow, directly killing the chaotic Qin army camp.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Panicked to the extreme, the shouts came and went in the ranks of the Qin army out of the camp, in the absence of the main general's command, the generals of the Qin army who hurriedly left the camp could only rely on their experience and judgment, and each commanded their own army to release arrows to meet the enemy, as a result, this naturally also caused the Qin army's best arrow rain messy, and there were many arrows that were released too early, and there was no threat to fly in front of the young marshal soldiers, so even if they were lucky enough to shoot and wound some of the young marshal soldiers, they still couldn't stop the young marshal soldiers from charging, The commando of the Young Marshal Army was still unstoppable, and quickly narrowed the distance between them and the Qin army.

"Shoot the arrows! Hurry up and release the arrows! Fuck you, release the arrows! Don't hang it! ”

The shouts of the generals of the Qin army were even more panicked and chaotic, and the Qin soldiers and soldiers, who were mostly recruits, were also more hurried, not only the speed of Zhang Xian's arrows was slower, but also the mistakes of missing the strings and dropping arrows continued to occur, resulting in a more messy rain of arrows, and it was even more impossible to block the commando of the young marshal army.

The Qin infantry who knelt down on one knee in front of the formation was forced to get up to face the battle, and many Qin army crossbowmen also subconsciously pulled out their personal weapons to prepare for self-defense, but these were destined to be unable to stop the tidal attack of the young marshal soldiers.

Any despicable conspiracy and shameless trickery have lost their effect at this moment, and what determines the outcome of life and death is only the swords and spears in the hands of the soldiers on both sides, axes and machetes, long swords stabbed out, blades slashed, spears stabbed and pecked, and all they brought up were dark red waves of blood, just the first impact, dozens of soldiers on both sides lay down on the battlefield forever.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Qin army who lie down forever are obviously much more than the soldiers of the young marshal, and the actual combat experience is not as good as the soldiers of the young marshal, and the momentum and fighting spirit are even more different. The young marshal soldiers continued to rush up, and the Qin army's front line, which was not strict enough, quickly became chaotic, and the Qin soldiers who were extremely frightened retreated quickly, crowded together with their companions in the rear team, and the young marshal soldiers were frantically slashing and slashing, striding forward continuously, desperately attacking the Qin army's horizontal team.

The sword continued to bring blood, the shield slammed into the head, the spear pierced through the human body, and the screams and shouts of killing were incessant, and the terrible roar was like the screams of countless unjust souls in the Shura Hell in unison. At this moment, the excellent equipment of the young marshal soldiers played a vital role, even if they were hit by the enemy's weapons, they could rely on the protection of the armor to offset most of the damage, and it was easy not to be fatal or disabled. Most of the weapons and equipment have been lost on the battlefield of Fuli, but the Qin soldiers are diametrically opposed, without the protection of helmets and armor, as long as they are hit by the weapons of the young marshal soldiers, the lightest is also wounded, and the worst is directly killed.

The first time the young marshal army chopping saber used on the battlefield has become a nightmare for the Qin soldiers, the sharp blades are split, and the first limbs of the Qin soldiers are easier than chopping wood, every time they hit, the lightest can also bring serious injuries to the Qin soldiers, the first Qin soldiers screamed in despair, they couldn't believe that there were such powerful weapons in the world, and retreated again and again in panic, but the young marshal soldiers holding the sabers in their hands were red-eyed, roaring and cutting more fiercely, and also killing the enemy on the opposite side more panicked.

Seeing that the situation was critical, there were already Qin soldiers who were greedy for life and afraid of death who escaped from the queue, among which there were quite a few commanders, and the generals of the Qin army continued to shout and roar, trying to restrain the team, but they never had much effect, neither could stop the escape of the soldiers, but could not stop the pace of the young marshal's soldiers. The Qin army's horizontal team in the front collapsed first, and countless soldiers shouted and fled directly back to the camp, followed by the two wings, and the soldiers fled everywhere in the north and south directions.

It was only ten minutes from the beginning of the short encounter, most of the Qin army out of the camp collapsed, and the defeated soldiers fled back to the camp in a crowd, which disrupted the Qin army's rear team that was barely organized and formed, and also directly broke down the large fences on both sides of the camp gate, and the morale of the young marshal army commando team was like a rainbow, driving the Qin army's defeated soldiers directly into the camp, and the already chaotic Qin army camp was even more of a mess, and the Qin army in the camp was completely chaotic, countless soldiers threw down their baggage vehicles and fled to seize the road, pushing and trampling each other, and the dead were countless.

Zhao Zhuang, the chief general of the Qin army, must be praised, although things have come to this point, the defeat of the Qin army has long been doomed, but in order to flee back to Pengcheng to defend the city with as many defeated soldiers as possible, Zhao Zhuang still gritted his teeth and let his soldiers hold high his handsome banner, and strive to gather the soldiers around him, with the handsome banner as the command, and fled in groups with many defeated soldiers of the Qin army. But it's a pity that none of the young marshals led by Xiang Zhuang didn't know the dangerous consequences of letting Zhao Zhuang's attempt succeed, and they kept chasing after him under the guidance of Xiang Zhuang's banner, desperately slashing and killing the defeated Qin army in front of him, while chasing Zhao Zhuang's banner at full speed.

Many smart Qin soldiers quickly found that following Zhao Zhuang's banner was the most dangerous, and they wisely chose to scatter and flee, coupled with the objective reason that Zhao Zhuang was not very popular with the army, the Qin soldiers who gathered around Zhao Zhuang's banner also decreased rapidly, Zhao Zhuang who rode a horse shouted wildly, but he still couldn't stop the soldiers from quickly abandoning him, and the way to escape to the south gate of Pengcheng was not halfway through, and the soldiers around Zhao Zhuang had only three or four hundred cavalry left, and the remaining Qin infantry fled all over the mountains and fields, everywhere. At the same time, the troop transport fleet of the young marshal's army also returned to the east bank of Surabaya, and the rear team of the young marshal's army, which had been waiting here, quickly boarded the ship and began to rush to cross Surabaya again.

At the same time, Wang Yong, the commander of Pengcheng County, who received the news, had also personally boarded the south gate of Pengcheng, and in the face of the defeated soldiers of the Qin army who were constantly fleeing, Wang Yong's mood was also hesitant and contradictory to the extreme, knowing that if he ordered the city gate to be opened, Pengcheng might still have hope of continuing to guard. However, Wang Yong knew better that if he closed the city gate and blocked Zhao Zhuang's way into the city, Xiang Kang, who had a good reputation in dealing with surrendered officials, would definitely fulfill his promise and let himself get more money and beauties, and even a more glorious career future. On the line of life and death, the direction of personal fate is just a thought, Wang Yong really doesn't know how to choose.

"The county honor, the flag of the county is coming soon! Open the door, open the door and let the county in! ”

"Can't open the door! The thieves are chasing too closely, open the door at this time, what if the thieves take the opportunity to kill them? ”

The contradictory opinions of his subordinates made Wang Yong even more upset, and he really didn't know how to choose, so Wang Yong simply took out a Qin Banliang, prayed silently to the sky, and then bounced Qin Banliang into the sky. The copper coin drew a wonderful parabola and fell to Wang Yong's feet, making a crisp sound, seeing clearly that the words of the copper coin were downward, and then looking at the few Qin soldiers beside Zhao Zhuang, Wang Yong also gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and shouted: "Don't open the door!" Without the order of the official, whoever dares to open the door will be killed! ”

The defeated soldiers led by Zhao Zhuang fled in embarrassment, and before they had time to rush to the bridge of the moat, the panicked shouts of hurriedly opening the door had reached Wang Yong's ears, Wang Yong's face was blue and black, and he turned a deaf ear to these shouts, even if Zhao Zhuang personally went to the city to call the door, Wang Yong was motionless, and several accompanying officials kindly reminded that it was almost too late, Wang Yong shouted and asked, "The thieves have been killed, what should I do if the thieves open the city gate at this time and the thieves take the opportunity to rush in?" ”

The shouts of opening the door under the city quickly turned into desperate crying and pleading, and Zhao Zhuang, who vaguely guessed that Wang Yong had betrayed, not only scolded him, but also regretted his repeated stubbornness and missed countless opportunities to rush to the city first. It's a pity that there is no regret in the world for selling medicine, and when he turned around and saw that the young marshal's army was approaching in a blink of an eye, Zhao Zhuang could only warmly greet Wang Yong's ancestors in the past dynasties, while pulling out the horse's head and slapping the horse to flee to the open land to the west.

During the turn, Zhao Zhuang also snatched his handsome flag with his own hands, smashed it to the ground, and roared: "What else are you fighting?" You want the thieves to know where I'm going, don't you?! ”

Relying on the help of horses, Zhao Zhuang finally got rid of the pursuit of the infantry of the young marshal's army, and fled to the direction of Xiao County in the west, but the infantry of the Qin army was unlucky, and they couldn't run fast, and Pengcheng closed the four gates, not giving them the opportunity to escape into the city, and was forced to helpless, these Qin soldiers had to put down their weapons and surrender to the ground, only a small number of soldiers chose to continue to flee, and the four thousand Qin troops under Zhao Zhuang completely collapsed in less than an hour, and the baggage weapons were also obtained by the young marshal's army.

After the report on the battle situation on the west bank reached Xiang Kang's face, although Pengcheng was still closed and did not immediately surrender to the young marshal's army, Xiang Kang still breathed a long sigh of relief, knowing that Wang Yong finally made the right choice, and it was only a matter of time before Pengcheng officially surrendered. Relaxed, Xiang Kang also smiled at Zhou Zeng and said: "It seems that we have to reward this Wang Yong with some blood, without his help, whether we can take Pengcheng next is really a big problem." ”

"It's a big reward, but for such a person, you'd better use it cautiously, young marshal." Zhou Zeng said very calmly: "For the sake of money, he can choose to surrender to us, and there is no guarantee that he will betray us for money in the future." ”

"It's a matter of prevention, but I have to let him be the Pengcheng County Commander for a while, and after a while I have a good position, I have to promote him." Xiang Kang replied: "Otherwise, who else will be willing to surrender to us in the future?" ”

After casually discussing a few words with Zhou Zeng about the disposal of Pengcheng County Commander Wang Yong, Xiang Kang not only commanded the main force of the young marshal's army to cross the river in turn, but suddenly remembered the previous letter from Xiang Bo, and hurriedly asked Zhou Zeng: "Uncle Ya, what do you think of my third uncle's letter after reading it?" ”

"I can't believe it's true." Zhou Zeng answered his opinion truthfully, and then said suspiciously: "But I think it's a little strange, although the young marshal army asked General Feng to be in charge of the battle on the southern front, Master Xiang Boxiang must be unconvinced, and hopes to replace General Feng, which is definitely not wrong." But for such a big matter, no matter how much Master Xiang is greedy, it is impossible for him to openly slander and slander, right? Doesn't he know that as long as you send someone to investigate such a major event, you can find out the truth and facts of the matter? ”

"I also think that the third uncle should not slander out of thin air, this matter should be true." Xiang Kang was also confused, and said very worriedly: "Could it be that Feng Zhong really can't support the wall in the mud, and in order to show off himself, he is really messing around like this?" Obviously there is hope for an enemy to come directly to you, but you want to drive them to a corner? I remember when I was promoted to General Dangkou, I directly told him that we had annihilated the main force of the tyrannical Qin in Donghai County, and we had already taken Donghai County to govern Tan City? Why didn't he think of using this to persuade Huaiyin's tyrannical Qin army to surrender? ”

Hundreds of miles away, and did not receive Feng Zhong's military intelligence report, Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng of course couldn't guess the truth of the matter here, but just when Xiang Kang was thinking about whether he should send someone to the southern front to investigate this matter, another messenger was suddenly led to Xiang Kang by his own soldiers, and directly said that it was a messenger sent by Feng Zhong. Xiang Kang was anxious, and hurriedly asked the messenger directly, "How is the situation on the southern front?" How's the fight going? ”

"Back to the young marshal, the red flag has been successful, our General Feng has already taken Huaiyin."

Messenger Feng Zhong's joyful answer made Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng dumbfounded, and after looking at each other for a long time, Xiang Kang and Zhou Zeng exclaimed together: "How is it possible? Why did Feng Zhong push Huaiyin's tyrannical Qin army to a dead end, but took Huaiyin faster?! ”

After the exclamation, Xiang Kang also subconsciously glanced at Uncle Xiang's handwritten letter that he had put in front of him not long ago, gritted his teeth in his heart, and said secretly: "Uncle Xiang, if it is really you slandering and fabricating out of thin air, you will wait for me!" For such a big matter, I sued the second uncle, and the second uncle can't spare you! ”
