Chapter 14: The Battle of Chenglingji IV

At this moment, Zhang Xianbi secretly complained that Ma Luan was hesitant and slow, he asked for reinforcements, he sent people over yesterday, Ma Luan hesitated all night, and only sent reinforcements after today's fight.

If reinforcements had been sent early, the plan would never have been so embarrassing.

One night can change a lot of things.

His original intention was to let reinforcements support Chenglingji first. Because he didn't understand very much, the focus of the Xia army's attack was Chenglingji. As soon as Chenglingji was lost, it lost the water mouth that connects Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River. I'm afraid it won't be possible to restrict the Xia Army's sailors from entering Dongting Lake.

This will have too much impact on the war.

And at this moment, he had to hope that Yang Congyi could hold on for a while.

After all, Chengling Mountain is condescending, and if Chengling Mountain is not guarded, Chengling Rock will not be enough to guard. In the face of the condescending artillery bombardment on the mountain, coupled with the siege on three sides, Yincheng Lingji couldn't hold it no matter how he thought about it. You can only choose the lesser of two evils.

Soon, the reinforcements who were going to encircle and suppress Wang Jincai with Yang Congyi's troops suddenly turned around and wanted to go east to support Chengling Mountain.

Wang Jincai breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his back was wet with cold sweat, he saw clearly, there were a lot of reinforcements from the Ming army, at least more than 10,000 people, there were only more than 2,000 people around him, and there were many wounded, in the face of more than 10,000 Ming troops, the outcome could almost be determined.

But he never expected that when he arrived here, the Ming army suddenly turned around and went to other places.

Wang Jincai secretly said in his heart: "I don't have much time, it must be the general's onslaught, and other places can't support it, so I have the opportunity to breathe now, and if I don't take this opportunity, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to take Chenglingji for a while."

At this moment, Wang Jincai charged forward, fought for half an hour, and died in his hands, not to mention more than ten.

I don't know if it's Wang Jincai who has been pampered for so many years. The physical strength ratio is not as good as it was at the beginning. Or he's a little older. It doesn't have to be young, and he's not unscathed. At this moment, the body is extremely heavy, and when I move slightly, it is soreness and pain.

He still agitated his tired body and continued to fight.

Fortunately, the reinforcements came and went, which gave Yang Congyi's morale a great blow.

If reinforcements had never come, perhaps they would have been able to hold on. But if hope is given and hope is extinguished, the blow to people is too great. The decline in morale directly led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of Yang Congyi's department, which was not only felt by Wang Jin.

Deng He also felt it.

Yang Congyi finally couldn't hold on to the defensive line, and the soldiers rushed to Chenglingji.

Half of Chenglingji went deep into the river, and half of it was on land, and Wang Jincai finally joined Deng He.

Wang Jincai was a Deng He, and instantly felt that he couldn't hold on to it, and said: "Brother Deng, I can't hold on, and the rest will be done."

Over to you. ”

Deng He's appearance is much better than Wang Jincai. Although Deng He was also attacking, Deng He had a lot of chips in his hand, so his subordinates took turns to fight, and it was not Deng He's turn to go into battle in person, Deng He hugged Wang Jincai and said: "General Wang, don't worry, this place will be handed over to me." ”

It's just that the two of them haven't said how to pull out the last stronghold on the last castle tomb. The wind and clouds between heaven and earth suddenly changed.

A north wind rushed wildly, and countless clouds gathered together. The more they gather, the darker the color becomes.

The clouds also changed from white clouds to dark clouds. It seemed that the weight of the dark cloud was getting heavier and heavier, and it was pressed lower and lower, and in a matter of moments, the whole sky was covered from north to south, pushed hard by the north wind.

Visibility darkened suddenly.

Under the strong wind, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt a burst of coolness, as if the sultry heat had been blown away.

But such coolness can't give Zhang Xuan the slightest feeling of joy. On the contrary, it was as dull as a dark cloud.

"What I hate most is variables." Zhang Xuan said secretly in his heart. But we also know that there are many variables in the world.

Dealing with sudden situations is a necessary ability for every general.

Zhang Xuan suppressed the thoughts in his heart, looked at the dark clouds almost pressing on his forehead, and knew that a heavy rain would definitely arrive.

The weather in summer is like this, and it is normal for the weather to change abruptly.

He quickly analyzed the pros and cons of the sudden heavy rain in his mind, and the first thing he had to face was the failure of a large number of firearms.

However, in the current situation, the two sides are locked in a hand-to-hand encounter, and the role of firearms is no longer very good.

Although the fight in the heavy rain was difficult, it was also difficult for me to fight.

Zhang Xuan didn't think that the fighting will of his own men would be inferior to that of the Ming army. It's just that Zhang Xuan's heart sank, and he thought: "There may be no problem with the battle on the ground." But the battle on the river is difficult to say. ”

The combat effectiveness of the Xia army's sailors has always been based on firearms. It doesn't matter if it's artillery or firecrackers. Today's firearms have not yet been able to release water, and widespread rainfall will certainly have an impact on the war.

But at this moment, Zhang Xuan can't care so much.

"Boom." The thunder came over. Crackling raindrops fell, and the raindrops were big at the beginning, and every drop of rain hit the ground, which could wet the ground the size of a ping-pong ball.

Zheng Lian immediately put a black oil-paper umbrella on Zhang Xuan's head, Zhang Xuan pushed the umbrella away, and said: "The soldiers are fighting in the rain, what do I want this umbrella for?" ”

Rain. Instantly wet Zhang Xuan, and the rain stuck his clothes on Zhang Xuan's body, flowing downward. made Zhang Xuan feel like he had not been showered for a long time.

The view was obscured by heavy rain.

All Zhang Xuan could see was the pillar of rain connecting the heavens and the earth. The mountains in the distance are hidden in the rain. What the

I can't see it either.

Even the other sounds were hidden in the rain, and nothing could be heard.

But Zhang Xuan still tried to look at the south, as if trying to see his subordinates who were struggling to fight.

Under such heavy rain, visibility is very low.

The soldiers on both sides were in the dilemma of fighting on their own, and almost all means of command were restricted.

Lingqi or something, I can't see it clearly at all. Almost shouting loudly, a mouth filled with rainwater. Even if it is shouted, it will not spread far.

In such an environment, the winner was quickly decided.

The most powerful thing in Xu Du's department is the ability of grassroots organizations, even under the interference of heavy rain, they can still maintain the most basic organization.

But the Ming army was different.

The various departments of the Ming army, whether it is Zhang Xianbi's department or the Huang Dynasty's Xuan's department. All of them were urgently expanded, except for the core of three or four thousand people, the rest were expanded.

In the core of Zhang Xianbi, they can still hold on, but now under the heavy rain, they can't see each other, so they naturally can't hold on.

With one collapse, it quickly caused a chain reaction.

In the heavy rain, Zhang Xianbi was covered in blood, and the rain rushed with blood, although under the heavy rain, his vision was unknown. But in Zhang Xianbi's ears, he could vaguely hear the sound of shouting and killing, and it gradually fell down.

You know what's going on.

The shouts of killing were muffled, meaning that there were many places where the battle was over. But he faced more and more enemies, and he knew why.

"Withdraw." Zhang Xianbi said.

Can't do anything, Zhang Xianbi naturally knows what to do. After all, he may not have much experience in winning battles, but he has a lot of experience in defeating battles.

Whether it was the defeat of Fu Zonglong or the death of Song Yihe, under such a defeat, Zhang Xianbi and Huang Chaoxuan both escaped. The various means can be imagined. They are not the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

If he can win, he will definitely work hard. But now it's the case. Nothing can be done. Zhang Xianbi naturally chose to retreat.

Although the heavy rain brought a lot of trouble to Zhang Xianbi, it also had a lot of convenience, at least at this time. Zhang Xianbi wanted to leave, but was covered by heavy rain for a while. Can't catch up at all.

However, even with the cover of heavy rain, not everyone can walk. Some people can't leave, such as Yang Congyi.

Yang Congyi has come to a desperate situation.

Yang Congyi and his subordinates were forced to the top of Chenglingji, which was deep in the river, with river water on three sides.

Dark clouds overhead, heavy rain poured, wind and rain. Wave after wave. The river slapped against the Chengling Rock and shattered into countless pieces of jade.

There are only dozens of people around Yang Congyi, and this is Yang Congyi's last team.
