Chapter 260: Bloody Battle
Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang originally fled to a narrow mountain col in the upper reaches of Zhugong Creek to block the ambush and wait for reinforcements to come, but a scene at the mouth of the Antler Creek made them dare not sit still and wait for death.
The scene in front of them made Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang believe that the four barbarians were colluding with the Han family's father and son.
Although before, they thought that this was absolutely impossible, but what did the bloody scene in front of them make them think?
Zhao Zhixian was afraid in his heart, but Tan Yuliang was worried that the Han family's father and son might lead their troops to kill from the direction of Qianyang City at any time, in fact, at this moment, in the clear sky south of Shima Pass, several pillars of smoke had risen one after another.
As long as the Han family father and son have a big movement in Qianyang City, the secret agents will ignite the firewood and grass accumulated in the house, causing a fire and warning them here.
The road from Qianyang City was rugged, but the Han family father and son led the soldiers and horses over, and it didn't take three hours, which meant that they only had three hours at most to kill the four surnamed Zhai soldiers and retreat into the Chinese city to defend to the death.
Although the time for the soldiers and horses of Qianyang to sail over by ship is shorter, several water camp warships under the command of the Han family father and son are all pointed bottom ships, although the speed is fast, but they need to have a ready-made wharf to land quickly, otherwise, it is better to come faster by land.
Tan Yuliang changed into stainless steel scale armor, and rushed out of the mountain col where he had taken refuge with more than 30 horsemen, losing more than a dozen people, killing out from the encirclement of more than 100 and 4 surnamed village soldiers, meeting with more than 300 cavalry on the mountain ridge, and desperately beating horses to approach the south bank of Lujiao Creek.
In summer, the rain was abundant, and the water level of Lujiao Creek was high, and the war horses could not cross the stream directly, so Tan Yuliang ordered to storm the wooden bridge behind the four surnamed soldiers.
Seven or eight war horses were organized into a group, and they were killed by the four surnamed soldiers guarding the wooden bridge, and at the same time that the abdomen and chest of the war horses were pierced by iron spears, the soldiers on horseback also brandished their war knives and slashed at the top of the heads of the four surnamed villagers, or their arms were tightly clamped with a long lance, and the sharp sharp blades that were three feet long were stabbed into the bodies of the four surnamed villagers......
In addition to being brave and warlike, one of the more important reasons for Wuximan's defeat in the face of soldiers and horses from the Central Plains for hundreds of years is that he occupies dangerous places and is familiar with the dangerous terrain on the left and right, and rarely fights with elite soldiers in open river valleys or Pingba areas.
At this moment, it was a tragic and bloody battle for both sides of the lower reaches of Antler Creek.
The four surnamed village soldiers assembled in the open beach in the lower reaches of Lujiao Creek can be said to be fighting against the water.
On the one hand, they firmly believed that all this in front of them was a trap set for them by the Han family's father and son and Tanzhou, and it was impossible for the Tanzhou soldiers and horses to withdraw calmly, on the other hand, their sentry ships had already detected that two sailing ships were slowly approaching from the direction of Dawankou.
This is the warship of the Xuzhou marching army, which is several times stronger and larger than the canopy boat built by the four surnames.
Although the four clans used more than 30 black-canoped sailing ships to raid the Eagle Fish Village (Zhongfang City), they were not prepared for a water battle before.
Their small warships did not have a large number of oil tanks and firewood for fire attack, nor were they prepared to hook and buckle the enemy's ships for broadside battles; in the face of warships that were more than ten times larger and equipped with multiple bed crossbows, no matter how many black-canopy sailing boats they had on the open Yuanshui River, they had no chance of winning.
At this time, the most likely thing is that they sink to the bottom of the river and become food for fish and shrimp.
And the Tanzhou soldiers faced by the four surnamed villagers, in addition to defeating the four surnamed villagers, they were able to retreat in time

Outside Fang Cheng, he also didn't feel that he had any other way out.
The collision of iron and blood, the entanglement of knife and flesh.
A puddle of blood flew into the air, stumps and severed arms rolled down on the stream, corpses were staggered, and the blood had already soaked into the muddy water, but it was quickly stirred into colorless.
At dusk, Han Qian and more than 1,000 soldiers of Tiancheng Xuzhou Xingying crossed Shima Pass and arrived at the south bank of Zhugong Creek, when the bloody battle on the bank of Lujiao Creek had just stopped.
At this time, Yang Qin led four sailing ships and 500 water battalion soldiers from the upper and lower reaches of the Yuan River to encircle, Chen Zhen was outside the mouth of Lujiao Creek, Feng Changyu, Feng Jin and others could only abandon the ship, led more than 300 remnants of the defeated general, and fled along the north bank of Lujiao Creek to the east of the Chinese mountain.
Zhao Zhixian was cut off an arm in the scuffle, fainted for a while, and when he woke up from the pain, he was retreating into the Chinese city with more than 400 other remnants.
Tan Yuliang, Tan Tie, and Zhao Zhixian had less than 500 remnants left in the Chinese city, and the four surnamed soldiers were brave and fearless to death, and they almost armed all the troops hidden in the city to fight out of the city, only to reluctantly repel the soldiers and recapture the wooden bridge.
Even if you don't take into account the profits of the Han family's father and son, this battle is an extremely tragic victory for them.
At this moment, Zhao Zhixian saw the remnants of the four surnamed soldiers fleeing towards the Chinese mountain in a hurry, and at the same time, Feng Changyu and Feng Jin also watched with deep confusion as the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou fled into the Chinese city in a hurry and closed the city gate, both sides suddenly understood that they had fallen into the trap of the Han family's father and son, but their eyes were full of doubts.
"What are the Han family father and son trying to do, don't the two of them have any intention of joining forces with Tanzhou at all, and want to swallow the entire Xuzhou alone? What kind of appetite do the father and son have, can they swallow the whole of Xuzhou? Zhao Zhixian asked Tan Yuliang indignantly.
Xuzhou is vast and sparsely populated, but it is also sparsely populated, the people are scattered among the mountains and rivers, the road is inconvenient, and the local people are complex and the folk customs are fierce, so it is more difficult for foreign rulers to control.
Because of this, the father and son of the Han family released their goodwill to find cooperation with Tanzhou, and Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang were not suspicious at all.
"Why did Zhang Ping's eunuch help the Han family's father and son?" Feng Changyu stood on a rock, angrily punching a pine tree that had grown tenaciously from a crack in the rock, asking himself and others this question.
The attack on the Chinese city was the suggestion of Zhang Ping, the envoy of the prison army, and Zhang Ping also promised to come and rendezvous after they captured the Chinese city, but summoned the native forces of Jingzhou in the upper reaches of the Yuan River and Chenzhou in the lower reaches of the Yuan River to send troops to the Chinese city to meet and expel the Han father and son.
No matter how stupid Feng Changyu was, he knew that Zhang Ping had a problem, not to mention the new establishment of the Chinese county, as well as the time and route of Zhao Zhixian and Tan Yuliang leaving Qianyang City to Yingyu Zhaizhi County, Zhang Ping informed them, otherwise they would not have been self-righteous to lay out today's situation of luring the snake out of the hole, and as a result, they and the soldiers and horses of Tanzhou fought a lose-lose battle on the bank of the Antler Creek.
Han Qian knew that there were only a handful of people who knew about the overall plan, and more people around him didn't even understand it at all at this moment, why did Tanzhou's soldiers and horses in Xuzhou suddenly fight with the four surnamed Zhai soldiers?
The four surnamed Zhai soldiers were well fed and supported by gathering troops to attack the Chinese city?
The doubts in their hearts turned into doubts, but it did not prevent more than 1,000 generals from working hard to drag several canopy boats into the Zhugong River channel, tied them together with ropes, fixed them on the giant trees hugged by several people on both sides of the river, dismantled the canopy, paved with newly cut miscellaneous trees, and built a pontoon bridge.
The road in the depths of the Chinese mountain is rugged, and it is embraced by the Yuanjiang River on three sides, Han Qian is not worried that the remnants of the four surnames will be able to jump in a short time

Out of the Chinese side, at present, it is necessary to first solve the 400 remnants of Tanzhou led by Zhao Zhixian, Tan Yuliang, Tan Tie and others who retreated to the Chinese city (Eagle Fish Village) like trapped beasts, and completely removed the nail that Tanzhou had pierced into the interior of Xuzhou.
Eagle Fish Village was originally built near the water, after the Tanzhou soldiers and horses occupied, several rows of wooden piles were laid outside the wall of the West Village, and the soil and stone were filled between the wooden piles and the wall of the West Village to form a simple wharf.
The Eagle Fish Village Wharf was only four or five hundred steps square, and Yang Qin led four war sailing ships to block the Eagle Fish Village Wharf as soon as possible, so that the more than 1,000 soldiers who came by land could camp smoothly on the river beach in the southwest corner of the Chinese city.
Gao Bao followed Yang Qin off the boat to see Han Qian, walked into the makeshift tent, and shouted excitedly when he saw Han Qian:
"The young master's plan is too good, Feng Changyu's old guy fell into the pit dug by the young master, and he didn't figure it out from beginning to end, and he almost fought with the soldiers and horses in Tanzhou, so he thought of retreating to the Chinese mountain, and they saw that we were preparing to attack the Eagle Fish Village at this time, probably their eyes were straight, right?"
Today, almost thousands of native soldiers died on the bank of Antler Creek, these should be Gao Bao's clansmen, seeing that Gao Bao can still be so excited and excited, everyone in the big tent looked at Gao Bao's eyes somewhat awkwardly.
Han Qian has no spiritual cleanliness, if he wants to govern Xuzhou well in the future, Gao Bao will be a very key person, to a certain extent, even more worthy of his trust than Feng Xuan, smiled and beckoned Gao Bao to sit beside him, and said: "When Tiancheng captures the Chinese city, you will be the first county commander of the Chinese county, have you been psychologically prepared for the county master?" ”
"This, this ......," Gao Bao said with some embarrassment, "If you want to govern the Chinese county, Feng Xuan is more prestigious than me, and it is more appropriate to use Feng Xuan as a young master." ”
"Feng Xuan, I have another appointment, and the Chinese county order is the reward you deserve." Han Qian said without Gao Bao's refusal, and summoned Tian Cheng, Yang Qin, and Lin Jingzong to make them ready to storm Zhongfang City overnight.
Although they trapped more than 300 remnants of the four surnames in the Chinese mountains, they had no way to completely block the Chinese mountains, which were more than 50 miles long from north to south and more than 30 miles deep from east to west.
After all, they took the Chinese city before the four surnamed Zhai soldiers gathered again.
"Han Qian ......"
At this time, he heard the faint shouting and cheering from the Chinese city, Han Qian opened the curtain and walked out, and saw several people standing faintly at the head of the Chinese city, and the voice seemed to be Zhao Zhixian shouting hoarsely.
"Han Qian, I can treat your father and son well in Tanzhou, give money and food without mentioning it, and let you escape into Xuzhou. You don't remember the kindness of Tanzhou to treat you, instigated the four surnamed soldiers to attack us, and personally raised troops to kill us. You are so treacherous, and soon my Tanzhou army will go straight in, crushing your treacherous father and son to ashes! ”
"You write down my words, and Zhao Zhixian who will send someone to call to the city will hear it later!"
Han Qian didn't bother to scold Zhao Zhixian with his throat, so he asked Lin Zongjing to write down his words by his side, and then he would send someone to shout at the city for him.
"My father is the defense envoy of Xuzhou sealed by Da Chu, I am the Sima of Xuzhou and the envoy of the camp soldiers and horses of Xuzhou sealed by Da Chu, Tanzhou is the Tanzhou of Da Chu, secretly blocking the waterway and intercepting merchant ships sailing to Xuzhou, what kind of kindness does it have to Great Chu, and what kind of kindness do I have to the father and son of the Han family? Tanzhou is the Tanzhou of Great Chu, but it hides soldiers and horses in Xuzhou, what kind of evil intentions are hidden? Zhao Zhixian, Tan Yuliang, and Tan Tie will open the city gate and surrender in the rising sun tomorrow, I may use a boat to send them back to Tanzhou, if not, just wait for the city to be destroyed and destroyed! ”
