Chapter 92: Hukou Offensive and Defensive Battle IV

"In today's situation, non-artillery cannot break the position of thieves." Huang Shu said: "But a large number of artillery is along the shore of the lake, as well as in Jiujiang City, if you move here, it will take a lot of time, and once the artillery on both sides of the Yangtze River is lost, how to balance the Zheng family naval army on the river at that time." ”

"It doesn't matter." Zuo Liangyu said: "You don't need much, you only need to break through one place." ”

Compared with the spear and the shield, it is always the spear that has the advantage, Zuo Liangyu sees it very clearly, as long as he pulls out one place, although Cao Ying's defense line cannot be said to collapse, it will also fall into disadvantage.

After all, Zuo Liangyu's troops were concentrated in Bicao's camp.

However, Zuo Liangyu has hidden worries in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, today's battle. It is not that the left army has an advantage, it can even be said that it is passive everywhere, and in this case, it is a battle that has to be fought. Zuo Liangyu said: "Mr. Huang, you take Xiao'er back to Hukou and mobilize artillery." Then the artillery will be escorted here. ”

"Yes." Huang Shu didn't understand why he was asked to do it, but Zuo Liangyu ordered. Naturally, he will do.

Then he left the camp with Zuo Mengeng and went to Hukou County.

When Huang Shu and Zuo Mengeng had just left, someone came to see Zuo Liangyu in a panic and said, "Report, don't receive the report at night, Cao Ying will go out in a big way." ”

"Big move, big move."

The scout licked his lips and said, "I don't know. ”

"What?" Zuo Liangyu frowned, and when he raised his eyebrows, he was about to get angry.

The scout said, "My lord, go out and have a look." ”

Zuo Liangyu also heard a noisy sound from far and near at this moment, and suddenly strode forward, opened the curtain and walked out, countless firelights from the sky reflected in Zuo Liangyu's eyes, all over the mountains and fields, boundless. All kinds of noisy sounds were not the sounds of Cao Ying in the distance, but the exclamations of the soldiers in Zuo Liangyu's camp.

Zuo Liangyu's heart sank, and what he was most worried about happened.

"Order, generals at all levels patrol the camp, those who dare to make loud noises are beheaded, those who dare to shake the hearts of the army are beheaded, and those who dare to move at night are beheaded." Zuo Liangyu said several words in one breath, and almost the entire battalion turned into a wartime state, acquiescing to the fact that the officers could kill people at will.

Under this high-pressure policy, the riots in the army can be regarded as calming down.

In various ball games, such as basketball and football, the frequency of attack and defense is very fast, but in a real war, the frequency of attack and defense on both sides will only be faster.

Zuo Liangyu's attack in the day was weak, and he had already revealed the essence of weakness, and Zhang Xuan did not return the color at that time, which was already a bit of a missed opportunity, and it was not too late at this moment.

It was already the second half of the night.

Xuan patrolled all the camps from the afternoon, as each general talked, and finally decided on a strategy. Since Zuo Liangyu divided the battlefield into three places, don't blame Zhang Xuan for swallowing it one bite at a time.

In this battle, Zhang Xuan mobilized almost all the troops, Cao Ying's army of more than 100,000 troops, none of them were idle, Yang Chengzu and Li Rugui respectively contained the left army on both sides, and Zhang Xuan took his own headquarters, plus all kinds of firecrackers, a total of nearly 80,000, came from all directions, to Zuo Liangyu's camp, not for anything else, just to kill Zuo Liangyu in one fell swoop.

At the same time, all the cavalry of Cao Ying's camp dispersed, and they watched Zuo Liangyu's cavalry in batches. Limit their actions on the battlefield.

In the darkness, no large-scale fighting broke out between the two sides, but small-scale scout warfare, as a dessert before the war, happened all the time.

Tonight, it is not that there is no large-scale war, but there is a large-scale war in one place, and it is nothing else, it is Huang Shu and Zuo Mengeng who have just left the camp.

There were not many people in this group, only more than 1,000 horses escorted Zuo Mengeng and his party.

Although Zuo Mengeng is Zuo Liangyu's son, he never rides a horse in his spare time, without him, he is too fat, and it is not easy to find a horse that can bear his weight, of course, he can't bear the pain of galloping, and he usually sits in a sedan chair.

As for being on the battlefield, the sedan chair is too inconvenient to move. But it's also usually a horse-drawn carriage ride.

But at this moment, Zuo Mengeng didn't care about the bumps on the horse, he was tied to the horse, and the two sides galloped in the dark, Zuo Mengeng only felt that the horses under his command had almost turned his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys upside down, if it was just like this.

Both sides did not dare to light more torches. First, in the gallop, the torch is easy to be blown out, even if it is not blown out, it will be blown into a ball, and there is not much brightness, and second, Zuo Menggeng's body shape is too special, although there are many people in the army who have big shoulders and round waists, and tigers and bears.

But there is a difference between this and pigs.

In addition, the entire horse team is centered on Zuo Menggeng, once Zuo Menggeng leaks under the firelight. It will immediately attract the attention of the Cao Ying horse team.

Zuo Mengeng could only listen to the sound of fighting around him and the sound of falling horses in the dark, but there were few screams.

This kind of horse team that dares to gallop and fight in the dark night is a first-class elite, whether it is Zuo Ying or Cao Ying, it is rare.

In the dark, they rarely scream, because it is useless, but can attract the attention of the other party.

"Phew." The sound of horses was heard. Zuo Mengeng was already sweating profusely, and he didn't know if he was scared or upset, so he came back to his senses at this time and said, "Let's go." Why don't you go? ”

"Shizi, the thief has retreated." Huang Shu said.

Zuo Mengeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Huang, why did the thief retreat?" ”

Huang Shu looked down on Zuo Mengeng in his heart, but he knew that everything he had now, and even a lot of things in the future, was on Zuo Menggeng, and said: "We have arrived in Hukou County." ”

Zuo Mengeng looked up, and sure enough, he found that not far away, it was Hukou County, and now the people above the city had also discovered them, Huang Shu had already sent someone to negotiate, and he wanted to come for a while, and he would be able to open the door.

Cao Ying's horse team also discovered this and knew that they couldn't catch them. Of course, they didn't know that Zuo Liangyu's son was inside, if they knew, they would definitely not care about thirty-seven twenty-one, even if they hit the county seat of Hukou, they would continue to chase and kill.

Zuo Mengeng was relieved, he immediately remembered something, and said, "Mr. Huang, what do the thieves want to do?" Will there be danger on my father's side? ”

Huang Shu's heart moved, and four words suddenly flashed in his heart: tiger father and dog son.

What is Zuo Liangyu's reputation, don't talk about him, but he is still really capable. At this moment, Huang Shu knew that Zuo Liangyu had foreseen what was happening now, but he didn't necessarily think that the thieves would come so quickly and so ruthlessly, and the army would move at night, and he was not afraid of the roar of the camp.

Zuo Liangyu's camp is only more than 20 miles away from Hukou County. At night in this era, there is very little light pollution, looking east from here, the firelight almost dyed a piece of the sky, such a big formation, Zuo Mengeng didn't mean anything at all? That's only now being said.

The essence is too dull.

"Shizi, please rest assured." Huang Shu said: "Guogong has his own clever calculations, and thieves can't help Guogong." Since Guogong arranged for the prince to come to Hukou, the prince will sit in Hukou and wait for the good news of Guogong. ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zuo Mengeng also seemed to understand something, and his eyes were full of worry when he looked to the east.

Zuo Mengeng is incompetent, but he is not a fool. He can still see whether the situation is good or bad, and he also knows that even if he goes back, what use can he have, and he can probably only help.

His heart suddenly tightened, when Zuo Liangyu was there, he was the young master of Zuo Ying, and it could be said that he was calling for wind and rain. But now Zuo Liangyu has a problem, he has nothing, and even the rest of his life has no landing, and he doesn't know how to do it for a while.

All he can do is pray for Zuo Liangyu's return from victory, and he can still be his young master of Zuo Ying, the prince of Liao.

As for whether the prayer is spiritual or not, I don't know.

After Hukou County Middle School got the news, it quickly welcomed Zuo Mengeng into the city. and sent a lot of scouts to contact Zuo Liangyu, but they all fell into the sea and there was no news. In the plains of dozens of miles east of Hukou County, countless scouts were fighting, but Cao Ying came prepared, with superior skills, cutting off all connections between the official and the army.

However, this battlefield is too small, and it is only scouts who intercept and kill, and there is no news.
