Chapter Forty-Eight: The Scarlet River

Jin Shenghuan was stunned in his heart, and said secretly: "Indeed, compared to Liu Liangzuo, the sailor of the official army is a big trouble. ”

At this moment, there is already a connection between Zhang Xuan and Luo Rucai.

And what is the contact channel?

It is the Huai River.

However, the area from the lower reaches of the Huai River to Hongze Lake is controlled by the official army and the water division, and if the control of the official army and the water division can be lifted.

Then the entire Huai River will be allowed to swim.

Maybe Cao Ying can transfer troops through the Huai River, and the main force of Cao Ying under Shouzhou City will be transferred to Fengyang City within a day or two.

Such a big benefit is in front of him, and Liu Liangzuo is naturally not important.

"Yes." Jin Shenghuan immediately agreed.

Then he took the soldiers and went east. The sound of thousands of horses hitting the ground faded away and became unheard.

"My lord, do you think General Jin can succeed when he goes?" Zhang Su asked.

"It doesn't matter if it works or not." Zhang Xuan sneered and said: "Just alarm them and let them change their station, and they will be busy for several days." In this way, we are purer. ”

If the sailors can't beat it, then attack the port. This can be regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's old wisdom.

However, Zhang Xuan's pontoon bridge did not allow them to cross it all after all, and when Yuan Shizhong crossed it in the afternoon, dozens of warships went upriver from the downstream, and dozens of sails were extremely open.

For a while, all the soldiers on the pontoon bridge were greatly panicked.

Yuan Shizhong's Yongcheng camp was the most unlucky, and it was their turn to cross the bridge at that time, when they saw a ship appear downstream. There was a great deal of panic on the bridge.

This Yongcheng battalion was originally a newly built battalion, most of them were officers and soldiers, it was good that it was not chaotic, where could this chaos be controlled, on the pontoon bridge several miles long, in order to seize the road, they themselves used knives.

At this moment, Yuan Shizhong was by Zhang Xuan's side. Yuan Shizhong looked extremely ashamed, and said: "The lower officials are incompetent, and please punish the adults." ”

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly and said, "It's okay to blame the camp official for this matter, how can you blame the eldest brother." ”

For this situation, Zhang Xuan had already set up a plan, and once such a situation occurred, all the soldiers would retreat to both sides based on the middle line of the pontoon bridge.

This program has already been taught to officers at all levels.

It can be said that it stands to reason that even a small soldier knows what to do when something like this happens.

But the ability to implement the programme is much more important than the programme.

Obviously, there was already a plan before and the trough cake was finally made, so Zhang Xuan didn't know what to say.

And it seems that the officers and soldiers of the navy want to avenge the arrow last night. It was also extremely ferocious, they poured fire oil on the pontoon bridge, and after igniting it, the two broken bridges suddenly burst into flames, and swayed with the flow of water, for a while

It seems that among the fire dragons, even if you are holding on to the pontoon bridge and not letting go of the soldiers, you must choose one between fire and water.

That's it.

But when he saw the cannons and arrows on the ship, he actually wanted to shoot them above the water.

They fought either anyone else, or the soldiers of the Yongcheng battalion floating above the water.

At least more than 1,000 soldiers in the Yongcheng battalion fell into the water, and were hit by these crossbow arrows and artillery arrows, and suddenly in the water, pieces of blood flowers surfaced.

For a moment, it seemed like the river was about to turn red.

Zhang Xuan was decided.

He has seen a lot of killing, but leaving no room for anything, killing people who have no resistance still makes Zhang Xuan furious, not to mention killing Zhang Xuan's subordinates, which makes Zhang Xuan even more angry.

But what can Zhang Xuan do, he can't fly above the river to sink the ship of the official army.

"Who is the general of the official army and the sailor?" Zhang Xuan said almost word for word.

Zhang Su said: "My lord, I know from the prisoners in the camp that the official army that defeated General Zhou before was led by Shen Tingyang. ”

"Shen Tingyang?" Zhang Xuan asked.

Zhang Su immediately told Zhang Xuan some of Shen Tingyang's resume, and said: "Shen Tingyang can't stay for a long time because of the emperor's order, so he won it once, and then withdrew to Huai'an, and it seems that he is about to prepare to go to sea." ”

"Shen Tingyang is a capable minister, if he can be used by me, then what is the way to go down to the south of the Yangtze River." Zhang Xuan sighed, and then wrote Shen Tingyang's name on his sleeve.

This is a new habit of Zhang Xuan.

It's to write your name on the sleeve.

Zhang Xuan is gradually detached from the front line, and I am afraid that there will be no such thing as letting him personally cut people with a knife in the future. Therefore, the damage to Zhang Xuan's clothes is much better.

When there are no conditions, nature can do anything. But with the conditions, Zhang Xuan is now wearing a plain white cotton shirt. Although the cuffs are still tightened, it is not invisible when writing on the body.

The reason why Zhang Xuan did this was that he originally wanted to get a small notebook and record it immediately, but he found that the writing with a brush needed to be dried before it could be put away.

When he was marching, he didn't have time to get any pencil charcoal, so he had to write on his clothes.

At night, they were recorded on paper one by one.

What he remembers the most is that he is a capable general.

He is very fond of Shen Tingyang, after all, this era is the era of the ocean. Shen Tingyang, a minister who can do things, can do things, and understands the sea, in Zhang Xuan's opinion, is really a treasure.

"There are so many talents." After Zhang Xuan finished writing, he sighed, his voice was cold, and he turned to the main topic, and said, "Who is this general of the water division now?" ”

"It's Wang Xincui, it is said that he was promoted by Lu Zhenfei, and he is a hereditary guard

The official background, as for the guard, it is not very clear. Zhang Su said.

"Remember this and find out in the future." Zhang Xuan said, he secretly said in his heart: "Today's matter, I, Zhang Xuan, will have something to report." ”

Zhang Su said: "Yes." ”

No matter where Zhang Xuan was, he could only watch the officers and soldiers and sailors go away.

It seems that after suffering the loss of yesterday's night attack, he did not dare to withdraw his troops when he stayed for a long time, and the sun was still a few fingers high from the ground line.

"The matter of cleaning up the mess will be handed over to the second brother." Zhang Xuan looked at the swollen sails of the official and military ships, and said, "Try to scoop up the bones of the brothers and let them be buried in the ground." ”

"Yes." Zhang Su said.

On the official ship, Wang Xincui's heart can be regarded as being in his stomach.

Wang Xincui secretly said in his heart: "In today's battle, I didn't lose a single soldier, but I killed at least three or five thousand thieves, which is enough to wash away yesterday's crimes. ”

Thinking of this, Wang Xincui was overjoyed and laughed.

This battle Wang Xincui fought with high spirits, which made Wang Xincui very proud.

The official ship was smooth sailing, and when it arrived at Linhuai Port, although the sun had set, the afterglow was not over. But the twilight is also slowly rising, and the visibility is dropping a little.

Wang Xincui stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the port.

There are many places in this port that have not yet been cleaned up, and many wrecked ships last night were just pulled to the sides to make room for the main channel.

Even now there were curling clouds of smoke and dust, as if the flames of the previous night had just been extinguished, and the harbor was a little too quiet.

On weekdays, these Qiu Ba can't be restrained at all, they get off the boat and do anything. Gambling money, playing with women, doing everything.

After all, most of these sailors are sailors on Caoyun, and for hundreds of years, Chen Chen Xiangyin was actually called the Cao Gang in the Qing Dynasty, which shows the decay of their internal relations, and it is too difficult to make them ban like an army.

"Could it be that Lord Lu was furious today and suppressed these Qiu Ba, or there were too many deaths yesterday, and everyone has no mind." Wang Xincui said secretly in his heart.

Although I felt a little strange, I didn't take it to heart.

After a while, it will be docked.

Immediately, someone put a long wooden plank on the boat, and Wang Xincui got off the boat under the escort of several personal soldiers.

At this time, other ships also docked.

I don't know where a cannon rang out.

"Kill the ---" Countless shouts of killing sounded in an instant, and a big banner with the word "gold" was raised violently.

Wang Xincui couldn't believe it for a while, he only felt that his head was useless, and said: "This, this, what's going on?" ”
