Chapter 34: The Siege of the State (I)
"Report !! Zhou Tuanlian, in Tongxing Mountain, three miles north of the city, found a large force of Han troops, they played flags and drums, ready to attack Wuzhou! An officer hurriedly ran into the mansion of the Wuzhou Metropolitan Commander, and when he saw Zhou Xingfeng, the regimental training envoy who stayed in Wuzhou, he didn't care about the panic all the way, and hurriedly reported it. [No pop-ups. 】
"What!" Zhou Xingfeng was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, and involuntarily clenched the sword straddling his waist with his right hand, and said, "Let's go, hurry up and follow me to the city tower to have a look." Zhou Xingfeng silently calculated the time in his heart, now that the two armies of Fengchuan and Chu and Han are fighting, it is the time to fight Fang Yan. How could this Han army suddenly come to attack Wuzhou?
He was in a hurry, and he took three steps and two steps, and soon reached the door of the room. For some reason, Zhou Xingfeng's hurried pace suddenly slowed down a lot, he turned around, looked carefully at the officer who was reporting the incident, and said, "The four doors are closed right now." Although Tongxing Mountain is not big, but the green trees are verdant, have you ever seen the soldiers of the Han army in Beichenglou? ”
"This ......" The officer hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Zhou Tuanlian, the last general in the Beicheng Tower, I saw with my own eyes that there are many banners of the Han army fluttering in the wind in Tongxing Mountain in the distance, and the war drums are very loud, presumably the Han army is preparing to boost morale and launch a charge." ”
"Hehe......" Zhou Xingfeng's frowning brows relaxed, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face, as if he was mocking something. He turned around and walked slowly into the room again, sat down behind the chair, and then sneered: "The order goes down, the four doors are closed, and the sergeant is ordered not to go out to fight, and not to panic." In addition, you have assigned me a battalion of troops to block the main street entrances, and the whole city will be under martial law, and the people will go back to their homes, and they will not be allowed to walk on the streets or visit the neighborhood, but those who do not obey will be dealt with by military law. In addition, if there is a fire or other incident, the sergeant must immediately extinguish the fire and arrest all the civilians who were present at the time of the fire. Make no mistake! ”
"Obey!" The officer bowed his head and obeyed. The officer did not withdraw immediately, but hesitated to ask: "Zhou Tuanlian, what if this happens...... The Han army is attacking, what should we do? Especially the barracks outside the city, but inside there are ......"
Zhou Xingfeng laughed and said, "Don't listen to the wind is the rain." How many soldiers and horses are there in this Fengzhou City? It's only 20,000 people. Among them, staying in Fengzhou City, at least 5,000 soldiers and horses are needed, and ambushing Fengchuan, there must be at least 6,000 people, and Xunjiang, if he does not send out a thousand water troops, he will fight with us for a while, how can it be possible to leave an impression that the Han army is invincible, and then lure our army to pursue? In this way, outside Wuzhou City, there can be as many people as there are, and at most there are 1,000 people. Just relying on his 1,000 men, he still wants to attack our Wuzhou, haha, what a fool's dream. ”
"Then, how dare they come?"
Zhou Xingfeng snorted coldly and said, "This Pan Chongche is really scheming. Presumably, he knows that our army is twice as strong as his, and even if our sailors are ambushed by him, for a moment, he will not want to completely defeat us. If at this time, we are sending the army to the rescue, then this ambush war will be in vain. Therefore, he deliberately ambushed this suspicious army in Tongxing Mountain. I want to hold back our army at this critical moment. Oh, it's a pity. The magic is one foot high, and the road is one foot high. He probably never thought that we would know that he would set up an ambush in Fengchuan. Our army has long since set out. Only about 200 people were left to guard the huge military camp outside the city. He will use suspicious tactics, and we will use 200 people to confuse the Han army. ”
"Ahh I see. Zhou Tuanlian, since they have few soldiers, why don't we send people out to pursue them? In this way, we can also make some contributions, which is much better than standing in the city and waiting for others to return triumphantly. After all, we are elite soldiers from Jingnan, and we have always been at the front, so why did we stay behind this time. The officer persuaded with some reluctance.
Zhou Xingfeng smiled and said: "You are young, you haven't fought for a long time, and your heart is itchy?" In my opinion, we are all in charge of horses, and our appetite is not small, and some of them can be fought in this battle, but now is not the time to pursue them, so we have to wait. Wuzhou is our foundation, and what we have to do is to stabilize the situation in Wuzhou. After all, this place is very close to the Han Kingdom, and among the people of Wuzhou, there may be some Han spies, so it is better to be still than to be still. When the news of victory comes from the front, those Han troops in Tongxing Mountain will not be able to run. ”——
Just now, when Ma Guangmeng ordered Cui Honglian and the Han army to fight to the death, although the Chu army was defeated, it was still able to support it. The Chu army gritted its teeth and fought desperately, and even if the Han army was victorious, it would be a crushing victory. Killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 self is a little difficult for Pan Chongche to accept. After all, there are many Chu troops and few Han troops, so after calculation, the comparison of military strength between Chu and Han has not changed significantly. Pan Chongche felt a little helpless in his heart, and he wanted to retreat from the drum.
But at this moment, Ma Guangmeng made a mistake, he actually ordered him to retreat. The offensive and defensive sides, in an instant, changed the protagonist.
Xunjiang is the enemy, and I am the enemy. If the main general gritted his teeth and did not retreat, these Chu soldiers were in a deep place of death, and they would inevitably fight hard. However, he actually ordered to retreat, which was a bit unfavorable to the Chu army. If you want to talk about river operations, this big boat is naturally the main force, but when it comes to escaping, this small boat is flexible and changeable, but it is an expert in escaping. It didn't take long for the small boats of the Chu army to retreat one after another and fled far away.
In the naval division of the Han army, a three-story seven- or eight-meter-high building ship, a general with purple hair and a long crown, wearing shiny chain mail, stepping on pitch-black cloud-turning combat boots, holding the battleship on his waist with his left hand, pointing to the ship in front of him with his right hand, and saying to his own soldiers: "Order the army, pursue the Chu army." The task of cleaning up the battlefield was handed over to the building boat to do, and the sampan boat went down the southern half of the river and went straight into the middle of the Chu army. ”。 This man was in his forties, only about 160 tall, with a chubby round face, and his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he looked unusually rich, especially the bare chin was very eye-catching among a group of Qiu Ba sergeants. This person is none other than the best of the 10,000 eunuchs in the Han Kingdom in Lingnan At that time, there seemed to be a total of two or three million people in Lingnan, and 10,000 people were eunuchs, Khan, Fengzhou commanders, and famous generals of the Han army - Pan Chongche. More than ten years ago, Ma Yin himself led seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, and he was not driven back to Changsha by the Han army.
The main force pursued by the Han army was also a flexible boat, so that in a short time, the big ships of the Chu army, which had not had time to retreat, gradually fell into the formation of the Han army, and could only struggle to get together and support each other-
Ma Guangmeng personally operated the sword, supervising the battle on the warship while observing the actions of the Han army. He saw that the Han army was slowly chasing after and entered the middle section of the Fengchuan waterway, so he turned his head and ordered the guards of the pro-army to release wolf smoke to remind the Chu army on both sides of the strait to use a strong crossbow on the Han army.
After a while, the wolf smoke of Xunjiang rose and it was on fire, and the smoke blew away, making it a vast gray place. The wolf smoke is different, when there is no wind, it rises straight to the air, and when there is wind, although it is a little crooked, it can also rise to a high height, and the wind will not blow away.
Together with the wolf smoke, Xu Wei and Qian Qing on the north bank, He Jingzhen, Chen Daan and others on the south bank hurriedly commanded the sergeants, held high the banner of the Chu army, and the war drums were beating loudly. Some of the sergeants held shields, some held longbows, formed a anyway, quickly ran out of the forest, gathered on the shore and in the forest, bows and arrows like locusts, straight to the Han army in the Xun River.
For a while, Han Jun was a little ignorant. Pan Chongche naturally knew about He Jingzhen's landing on the south bank, but he thought that He Jingzhen was so poor that he had no choice but to abandon the ship and land on the shore. As for the north bank, he was completely unexpected, when did the ambush soldiers on both sides of the strait have been killed by the Chu army, these wastes, even if they are defeated, they have to spread some news.
Ten miles of sealing the river waterway, to say that there is no sergeant of the Han army to discover the situation on the land, it is naturally impossible. It's just that, first, the battle between the two armies of Chu and Han is hiding in the dense forest, and the bank of the Xunjiang River is a dense forest, and there is not much blank space; Second, the Han army attacked with fireboats, but burned a lot of ships of the Chu army, this big ship is on fire, there must be smoke, and at this time it is blowing the south wind, the south half of the river, the visibility is very good, the north half of the river, it is a little enough. Third, this war is not a war between the two armies in the past, a war of face shape, but a war in which the enemy and the enemy meet, the front ship is the Han army, the back boat may be the Chu army, and the boat on the left is the Han army. Fourth, even if you see it, there is only one kind of person who can see it, that is, the disguised naval army of the Northern Banjiang River, and this group of people has always been the key target of the attack of the Chu army's naval division, these people, even if they saw the changes on the shore, under the strong suppression of the Chu army, they had no spare strength to inform Pan Chongche, as for later, the Chu army retreated, these people were busy pursuing, busy making meritorious contributions, who would remember what happened on the shore half an hour ago?
At this time, Ma Guangmeng was in good spirits, and while ordering the Chu army to continue the attack, he personally beat the drums to help. The morale of the Chu army increased greatly, the Han army made it sluggish, and the ten miles on both sides of the strait were all the archers of the Chu army, and the Han army was tired of coping, so the troops could not be concentrated, and the Chu army was fighting more and more fiercely with the cooperation of the land troops. The situation has changed again.
As soon as Pan Chongche saw that all the troops on both sides of the strait were Chu troops, he knew that he couldn't please him today. He hurriedly ordered the Han army to retreat south. But he didn't expect that this Xunjiang would change again. I wanted to quit, but suddenly it became difficult.
