Zheng Hui, escorted by Yuan Guowei and Zheng Xuanxing this time, only led more than 20 people into Xuzhou.

These people are even the elite of the elite, and even Han Qian sincerely handed over the command of the three battalions, Zheng Hui is difficult to completely grasp the command of the whole army with this manpower, and in the end he will inevitably rely on Han Qian to become the link between him and the generals.

Zheng Hui initially only thought that he could achieve this step, after all, he couldn't expect the Han family father and son to be completely selfless, and he didn't expect Han Qian to take the initiative to promote the formation of a new guard camp.

Looking at everyone's secretly shocked faces, Han Qian was almost moved by his selflessness, but in his heart, he could only swallow his crushed teeth into his stomach.

If it weren't for the stupid dad who was in Qianyang City, he dragged him to chat until midnight, and told him a thousand times, why did he bother to hand over power so thoroughly?

Of course, after he agreed, he looked back and thought that some things were really necessary.

There was no action on the Ezhou side, and even the imperial court did not officially cut the domain of Tanzhou, and the Xuzhou side sent troops first, which would be under great pressure, and if Tian Cheng and the others slacked off a little, it would be a bleak ending from which they could never recover.

Of course, Zheng Hui, as the most outstanding son of Zheng's generation, his ability to command the army and govern the army has been fully reflected in the Xichuan Defensive War.

Previously, under Zheng Hui's cooperation, Zheng obviously also mastered some of the technology of distilling liquor, but he was still willing to sell the spirits produced by Yandang Jizhuang at a high price, but Yandang Jizhuang Yuan made a profit, which also reflected Zheng Hui's temperament and measurement.

Under such circumstances, Han Qian was also willing to cooperate with Zheng Hui seamlessly, let go of unnecessary vigilance with each other, and maximize the role of Xuzhou's soldiers and horses in containing Tanzhou, instead of doing anything to restrain Zheng Hui on the issue of command.

This time, Han Qian summoned the remaining part of the Zuo Si generals and the children of the Zuo Si who had reached the age of sixteen into the army, and handed them over to Zheng Hui along with this person and the roster of more than 3,600 generals.

At the same time, Han Qian also told Zheng Hui in detail about the problems existing in this part of the Zuo Division generals and the other three battalion soldiers, as well as the direction of continuous strengthening and improvement in the future, so that Zheng Hui could fully grasp the situation of the whole army as quickly as possible.

In this way, in addition to the semi-armed baggage battalion composed of more than 1,500 craftsmen, craftsmen and laborers, the elite of the three battalions plus the personal guard battalion selected by Zheng Hui after he arrived in Longya City, a total of 3,800 elites, were completely handed over to Zheng Hui.

…………

…………

On the first day of November, the new moon in the north blew in, and the mountains and fields were frosty.

The new Wuling Defense Embassy was established, and the Xuzhou Xingying was officially renamed the Wuling Army, and the third battalion and ten teams of soldiers also walked out of Longya City on this day, under the leadership of Lin Haizheng, the commander of the battalion, and advanced along the narrow and steep post road to the old dragon head six or seven miles away to the north.

As the state boundary between the two states of Chenxu in the hinterland of Longya Mountain, Laolongtou is a forty or fifty-meter-high cliff in the depths of Longya Mountain.

The post road built in the early years of the previous dynasty passed through the gorge between the cliffs; This post road that passes through the cliff is only three or four hundred steps deep, and is also called Laolong Gorge.

The mouth of Laolongxia is only three or four zhang wide, since Han Qian led his troops into Longya City at the end of last year, the soldiers of Jiming Village in the north have piled up a large number of miscellaneous trees and stones into the gorge to prevent Xuzhou soldiers and horses from suddenly passing through Laolongxia and attacking Jiming Village.

However, the terrain of the old dragon's head is not very steep, there are gentle slopes on both sides of the post road, and you can climb the cliff of forty or fifty meters.

In the early years, the Chenzhou Xishi branch, which occupied Jiming Village, built two villages to the north and south slopes of the old dragon's head, and occupied thousands of acres of valley land nearby.

These two small villages are very simple, and in the early years, there were only a dozen families living and multiply.

But after the fall of Eagle Fish Village, the forces surnamed Chenzhou became more nervous and vigilant against the Han family father and son

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Three or four hundred soldiers were separated from the Jiming Village in the north and stationed in the stone village on the southern slope of the old dragon's head, and in the past two months, they have also tried their best to strengthen the defense of this village.

Even if Han Qian has not interfered with the actions of the Chenzhou surname forces in the old dragon head in the past two months, but the three thousand elites of Xuzhou are stationed in Longya City, which is less than six miles away from the Nanpo Stone Village, and the Xi family boy under the leadership of Zhao Wuji and Xi Fa'er can go to the old dragon head a few times a night, and how much change does the Chenzhou surname force dare to change the Nanpo Stone Village?

The so-called strengthening of defense is only to ram a two-arm-wide earthen wall on the inside of the thin stone wall, which can be used by the soldiers to stand directly on the walled city to defend it, so that the walled wall looks stronger and will not collapse with one blow.

The grass and trees in front of the stone village are all eradicated by the guards of the village, more than ten truncated zhang more than one person, one person hugs, the wood weighing more than 200 pounds is thrown down from the wall, can be rolled directly to the post road entrance four or five hundred steps away.

Han Qian and Zhang Ping rushed to the front with Zheng Hui to supervise the battle, and saw more than a dozen boulders mixed with hundreds of catties or even thousands of stones rolling down the slope, the momentum was extremely terrifying, he stood three or four hundred steps, and he could feel the ground under his feet trembling slightly.

Han Qian practiced Shi Gongquan, sword and bow hard, and he also killed Yingzhou Ma Si Xia Zhen outside Xichuan City, and when he lured the elite of the Liang army into Xichuan City to encircle and annihilate, he was also on the front line, but those were carefully calculated.

He has not yet experienced the experience of personally leading the troops to charge into battle, and he can't feel how dangerous it is to storm the stone village on the southern slope with rolling stones and wood for a while.

Many generals didn't have time to avoid it, and they were smashed to the ground, with broken limbs and brains splashed.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, Lin Haizheng still had to avoid the smooth slope, and commanded the soldiers to advance from both sides of the steeper, but the rolling stones and wood could not be hung up, and approached the stone village on the southern slope.

Six or seven miles between the dragon's tooth city and the old dragon's head, although the terrain is not particularly powerful, but it is also uneven, three hundred steps away from the south slope stone village, there are two terrain uplifts.

Han Qian saw more than 100 soldiers climb up, lift the cumbersome bed crossbow with all hands and feet, and set it up at the stone village on the southern slope.

The bed crossbow shooting is frequent and slow, and these two terrain uplifts are still lower than the stone village on the southern slope, but the fourteen or fifteen bed crossbows are lined up, and the momentum is still quite terrifying.

The bed crossbow is three hundred steps apart, and the strength is also extremely strong.

Although the guards are hiding behind the battlement wall, the bed crossbow can not shoot the battlement wall at once, shoot down, but shoot the masonry to the spread of the bricks and stones, as long as the guards hit a piece of rubble, their heads are also broken and bleeding, and the pain is so painful that the ghost cries wolf.

At this time, Lin Haizheng commanded to drag the timbers up to the high ground and build an arrow tower to gain the advantage of the heights, so that the bed crossbow could shoot at the wall condescendingly, and it was even more suppressed that the guards did not dare to take the lead.

The rolling stones and trees thrown from the wall to the slope were greatly reduced, and Han Qian saw Lin Haizheng commanding two teams of 100 soldiers, holding high large shields and spears, and under the cover of more than a dozen light shield vehicles, approaching the stone village on the southern slope from the front.

The walled wall is too low, only one zhang high, and there is no need to push the special and cumbersome siege vehicle up the slope, and only a simple ladder can be used to easily attach the city to attack the wall.

The soldiers of Chenzhou also dared to fight, and they also knew that it was not conducive for them to defend the city after the soldiers of the Wuling army approached the wall, so a team of soldiers came out of the village and condescendingly entered the array of the Wuling army, and started a bloody fight.

"Still have to put the Whirlwind cannon on it!" Zheng Hui also paid attention to the changes on the battlefield at all times, and at this time, he couldn't help but point to the uplifted high ground four hundred steps away from the stone village on the southern slope, and said to Zhang Ping and Han Qian, "Maybe it's better to lure the soldiers to attack that high ground, and also suppress the stone village!" ”

The soldiers are brave and belligerent, Zheng Hui has heard of it for a long time, but it is also the first time to see it.

The morale of the Wuling army is not weak, and the soldiers who were selected by Lin Haizheng are extremely good, and they don't know where Han Qian comes from

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There were so many stainless steel armors and scale armors in the room, but they were suppressed in front of a pass more than 100 steps southwest of Nanpo Shizhai, and they never rushed through.

The equipment of the soldiers is much simpler, and even a considerable part of the rattan is made of simple rattan armor and rattan shields, but it is fierce and abnormal, and the face is painted with paint to draw the patterns of various fierce beasts, and the mace and axe hammer are fiercely raised and slashed, and more than 200 Wuling army armor soldiers are pressed under the pass, and there is no way to attack it.

No one will think that this battle will not be able to defeat the old dragon head, but today is only the first day of the army to attack Chenzhou, and it will cost three or four hundred casualties to defeat the old dragon head, so how will the next war be fought?

What's more, Lin Haizheng has not yet selected troops to enter the first array to attack the stone village on the southern slope, otherwise, the problem may be more serious.

Zheng Hui's tactics were very simple, that is, to mount two or three whirlwind cannons on the high ground under their control, and smash them against the gate of the stone village on the southern slope, smashing that section of the gate and holding the soldiers in the narrow village.

And if the soldiers want to go out of the village to destroy the whirlwind cannon, they must attack the high ground currently occupied by the Wuling army, so that the Wuling army armor will be able to gain a condescending advantage.

On the battlefield where swords and shields are fighting, the morale of both sides is equal, and if one side occupies the high ground, the advantage it can play is too great.

Zheng Hui took command of the battlefield from Lin Haizheng at this time, although Zheng Hui meant to consult Han Qian and Zhang Ping in his words, but Zheng Hui, as a mature general at the level of the unified army, in a battle of this scale, where do you need Han Qian and Zhang Ping to say anything?

Han Qian just arranged for someone to prepare the parts of the three whirlwind cannons to be transported to the front battle, waiting for Zheng Hui to give the order.

"Xingxuan, you personally lead your troops to guard the high ground!" Zheng Hui knew that he wanted to truly win the respect of the generals of the Wuling Army, and the Zheng family could not help but take the lead in fighting a tough battle.

Yuan Guowei and Zheng Xingxuan initially led more than 20 people to escort Zheng Hui into Xuzhou, and then more than 30 Zheng children and tribes crossed the mountains and mountains to enter Xuzhou, joined Zheng Hui, and were all incorporated into the pro-guard camp.

Zheng Xingxuan is the eldest son of Zheng Yu, the assassin of Huangzhou, and also the commander of the pro-guard battalion.

At this time, the soldiers used the thick wooden planks as a big shield to carry on the wall, and the role of the bed crossbow was quite limited, but there were limits of angle and distance, and they could not shoot to the pass where the soldiers went out of the village to block the Wuling army from directly attacking the stone village on the southern slope.

The parts of the three medium-sized cyclone guns were transported to the high ground and quickly assembled, and one by one the stone bullets weighing more than 100 pounds were tied to the car with ropes and pulled to the high ground.

Hundreds of pounds of stone bullets, smashed from 300 steps, where is the thin wall, doorway that can resist?

Thirty or forty stone bombs smashed into it, and the brick gate soon collapsed along with the nearby wall.

Nanpo Village is too weak.

The generals guarding the village also know very well in their hearts that once the defenders are completely blocked in the Nanpo Village, the Nanpo Village, which is more than 100 steps square, is too narrow, and when the Wuling Army sets up more trebuchets in front of the village, wouldn't every stone bullet be smashed over, and they will have to be killed or injured?

Taking advantage of the fact that the gate of the southwest corner of the village was not completely smashed and blocked, the general led the soldiers out of the village and killed the trebuchet high ground where the whirlwind cannon was erected.

Coming out of the stone village on the southern slope, the open terrain that can be used for the deployment of troops is too limited, Han Qian saw more than two hundred soldiers killed from the village, dense but like a black tide, and the heartfelt skin was also secretly numb, at this time he didn't need to remind anything, Zheng Hui ordered Lin Haizheng to send three more teams of 100 people to attack from under the slope, he took the mallet from the hand of the war drummer, and the "bang bang" beat the inspiring war drum, to decide the victory or defeat of the first battle of the north into Chenzhou in one fell swoop......
