Chapter 186: Quarry Rock

Huo Bao was puzzled, but he didn't ask in public.

According to the previous statement, the Scouts were to cross the river and not stay in Hezhou.

On the contrary, Huo Wu was here, staying in the Hezhou camp, waiting for the master of the horse village to arrive, and then crossing the river to join forces with the generals.

When everyone went down to prepare for the battle, Huo Bao asked curiously: "Dad, it is Uncle Cousin and Brother Shui who fight Quarry Rock, and it is Feng Ye who fights the three counties, what is the son doing when he crosses the river?" ”

Huo Wu looked at his son, and he was also very hesitant.

He thought well before, but when he came to him, he changed his mind.

"Daddy......"

"You take people to stay in Hezhou, and when your sixth uncle comes, you will cross the river and join forces with everyone."

Huo Bao couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

Isn't this what Daddy did before?

"What about Daddy?"

"I moved to Jiangpu County with my people...... After turning back and fighting the Taiping Mansion, I took people to cross the river from Puzikou, sneaked into the Dasheng Pass, and received the main force of the Chuzhou Army to pass the pass! ”

Huo Bao hurriedly shook his head: "How can Dad move lightly?" Or the son goes! ”

Huo Wuzheng said: "Can I sit back and enjoy it?" ”

Huo Bao said with a face: "Dad is just not at ease, is the son at ease with his father?" Let the leopard stay in Hezhou, let's go to Jiangpu County together! ”

Huo Wu hurriedly shook his head: "No, you either follow your cousin, or follow Shuijin, if you want to do it yourself, you can't be together!" ”

He thinks a lot, the battlefield is unpredictable, if they go into battle father and son, let people be rounded, then the Chuzhou army will immediately become scattered sand.

Now the balanced development of the strength of the generals within the Chuzhou Army is Huo Wu's intention.

lest one party become bigger, and the days go by and the friendship will be hurt.

The advantage is that if something happens to him, Xiaobao can take over and balance all parties.

The disadvantage is that if something happens to Xiaobao, no one will be able to reach the top with overwhelming strength, and the Chuzhou army can only face a situation of falling apart.

Huo Bao Zhengse said: "The father loves the son's heart, and the son's heart is ...... But the son of the Dongguan War is in the rear, and this time it is in the rear, so the child soldier will always be a child soldier and cannot grow up...... Jiangpu, let's go with my son! ”

Under Huo Wu's command, only Niu Qing was the only one who could lead the troops, and the other thousands of households were newly promoted because of the military exploits of Hezhou and Luzhou, and there was no one who could take it.

The remaining Master Lin and Xue Biao are not good at war.

Huo Wu still refused.

Huo Bao said earnestly: "Since Dad knows that our father and son can't sit back and enjoy their success, then there must be someone who wants to conquer in front?" Could it be that my young and strong cat is behind, and let my dad fight in front? What do your uncles think of their sons? In this Chuzhou army, how can you serve the public? ”

Huo Wu regretted it a little.

I didn't expect that the Jinling Sailor would move to Quarry Rock.

His previous idea was to ask Deng Jian to take Huo Bao to Jiangpu.

However, the Jinling Naval Division moved to Quarry Rock, and the Jinling garrison also sent men and horses out, so the battle of Quarry Rock was difficult.

In order to reduce the casualties of crossing the river, Huo Wu asked Deng Jian and Shui Jin to go.

In this way, there is no general on the Jiangpu side.

The love of parents and children is far-reaching.

What Huo Wu said, where is Huo Wu's worry?

"Dad, don't worry, it's sneaking in, it's not taking the level head-on, my son won't put himself in danger!" Huo Bao Dao.

Huo Wu sighed and touched his son's shoulder: "To this day, my father is afraid!" ”

The name of the Chuzhou Army was out, and the father and son never retreated.

This stall is getting bigger and bigger, Huo Wu is not only happy, but also introspective at any time.

Huo Bao said freely: "What are you afraid of, it's really not good, there is still Uncle Jiu who can take refuge!" Now in this world, the smoke is everywhere, and the court is powerless to pursue it. ”

Huo Wu was open-minded, thinking about it, he said: "Then you can listen to the news here, you can't move lightly!" ”

Huo Bao said: "Dad, don't worry!" ”

It was finally finalized, and Huo Bao's department moved to Jiangpu.

……

On September 20, the sky was clear.

At the right time, the Chuzhou army arrived at the riverside.

Six thousand veterans of the Deng Jian Department of the Chuzhou Army and three thousand veterans of the Shuijin Department, as the vanguard troops, are about to cross the river to Quarry Rock.

Only the three sons of Yu Dutong were left in Dahe, and the other generals also came out.

Two building ships, more than 1,000 warships, are mighty on the river.

Huo Wu came to the ferry in person and marched for the generals.

Deng Jian said proudly: "Cousin, rest assured, I will definitely take the quarry rock before noon, and I will not delay the big guy to cross the river!" ”

Shui Jin also said: "Fifth Master, wait for our good news!" ”

Yu Dutong also wore armor and held a spear, and personally went on the ship to supervise the battle.

Behind Huo Wu, Master Lin, Xue Biao, Du Laoba, Monk Feng, Ma Juzi, Huo Bao and others were all there.

In addition to the people of Huo Wu's headquarters, the other departments are on the north shore of the Chen Division.

When the quarry rock was taken, Du Laoba, Feng Monk, and Ma Juzi crossed the river to attack the three counties of Taiping, and Huo Bao led the child soldiers to Jiangpu by land.

……

Small boats on the river are constantly coming and going, and the news of quarrying rocks is passed from time to time.

"Report! The Jinling Navy General led the building boat out to greet him, and the boat commanded by An was on the opposite side! ”

Is this going to be a water war?

The last Chaohu Lake water battle was at night, and the Chaohu Lake sailor took advantage of the geographical advantage, but now in broad daylight, I don't know how to deal with it?

"Report! The defenders of Quarry Rock had strong crossbows, and General Deng ordered people to prepare wheat poles in advance. ”

Everyone's hearts were lifted and put down.

The strong crossbow has a long range and strong lethality, and if there is no suitable means of response, the Chuzhou army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

"Report! The water general stayed from the side of the quarry rock, and asked someone to release the rope cart, wanting to go up from the side. ”

Everyone looked at each other and had to admire Shui Jin's bravery.

But he didn't dare to say anything obscure.

"Report! Huo Qianhu brought crossbowmen to sweep the battle for General Deng, and General Deng went directly to the quarry rock from the front! ”

This Huo Qianhu is Huo Hu who is still with Deng Jian.

The hundred strong crossbows confiscated by Hezhou before are now in Deng Jian's army.

One message after another.

Everyone went from nervous to excited.

Deng Jian's force is well known to everyone, and he is definitely a fierce general.

He landed smoothly, and the battle was half decided.

Monk Feng was already holding the eighteen bracelets in his hands, but the speed was fast.

Du Laoba touched his belly and looked comfortable: "In September, it's really a good time to eat crabs, and I don't know if the crabs in Wuhu are as good as Chaohu, this time I can be full!" ”

Xue Biao saw that his brother was making a joke and explained: "Eighth brother, there is no lake in Wuhu. ”

"Huh? Didn't you say there was a North Lake? Isn't that called Wuhu? ”

"Beihu is in the middle of Dangtu and Lishui County and Gaochun County in Jinling Prefecture, not in Wuhu."

"Then I'll go back and eat it!"

Ma Zizi sat at the bottom of the head, looking at Du Laoba's innocent smile, very speechless.

My eighth uncle will always be so heartless.

He is also lucky, he had his own father to protect him before, and now he has five uncles to protect him.

Changing the realm, such a temperament, has long been calculated to death.

Huo Bao's heart moved, and he asked Huo Wu in a low voice: "Dad, Feng Ye, do you still have to have a sailor on your side?" ”

Huo Wu nodded and said: "There are also water bandits on the North Lake, whether they are suppressed or caressed, they must be leveled!" ”

The surface of Beihu Lake is one-quarter of the size of Chaohu Lake, which affects the stability of the three counties.

Huo Bao was thinking about the map of Jinling Mansion, and he needed to pass through Dasheng Pass in the direction of Jinling City, and he could first get Lishui and Gaochun counties by detouring.

The Chuzhou army will still divide its troops at that time.

There are only a limited number of people who can attack Dasheng Pass, so it is no wonder that Huo Wu has to arrange manpower to cross the river from Jiangpu and attack Dasheng Pass from both sides.

……

About half an hour later, news came one after another.

"Report! The water general has landed from the side of the quarry rock! ”

"Report! An commanded 500 spearmen to grab the building ship of the Jinling Naval Division! ”

"Report! The officers and soldiers of Quarshiji were dispatched to defend the mudflats, and they fought with General Deng and others. ”

"Report! Yu Dutong led the warship and blocked the reinforcements of the water division at the quarry rock ferry! ”

Everyone's hearts were lifted.

Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, based on the news alone, everyone also knew that except for Yu Dutong's people, the other three roads were all hand-to-hand combat.

Swords and guns have no eyes, and when it comes to melee combat, anything is possible.

Huo Bao also regretted a little, why didn't he take the initiative to ask for war before.

Deng Jianjian side, as well as Huo Hu's sweeping formation; The water came in over there, but there were no particularly outstanding characters.

The direction chosen by the water is also a dangerous place.

……

When it was almost noon, the good news finally came.

"Report! General Deng kills the Quarry Rock Guard! ”

"Report! General Shui captures the Jinling reinforcement generals alive! ”

"Report! An commanded to capture the Jinling Navy Division alive! ”

"Report! Yu Dutong destroyed ten ships of the sinking division reinforcements and captured one ship! ”

And all the faces were filled with joy.

Quarry Rock fights, and the dust settles.

Everyone is very happy.

If there is no Chaohu Water Division, only this one quarry rock can block the Chuzhou army in Jiangbei.

Master Lin said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fifth master! ”

Huo Wuda said with a smile: "Rejoice and rejoice!" ”

Monk Feng, Du Laoba and others also looked at the river with joy on their faces.

……

The building ships that came from afar changed from two to four.

Yu Dutong stood at the bow of the boat and sighed with his son-in-law: "This is luck!" ”

The two building ships of the Jinling Navy Division are similar to the building ships of the Anqing Navy Division, and there are artillery positions on both sides.

However, the two building ships did not come out with a single shot, and after they were captured, Weng and his son-in-law boarded the ship, only to find that the artillery had become useless and had no ammunition.

It is a quarrying rock water card, and there is also a fort.

It was also a single shot, otherwise there were firearms, and even if the Chuzhou army could capture the quarry, it would suffer heavy casualties.

An Yong also sighed: "The qi of the imperial court is exhausted! ”

If you don't talk about anything else, let's just say that more than ten years ago, the old capital brought people and horses to Chaohu, and it was still fully armed.

The Yu family and the An family were appeased one after another, also because the water bandits were unable to resist the bandits of the imperial court.

Ten years have passed, but it has been reversed.

Now they are like a rainbow, and the court defenders are like chickens and dogs.

They were very happy.

If there was no Shou Tianwan's faint move, they would not have thought of joining the Chuzhou army, and it would be the Chaohu Water Division that could not be said to be facing the Chuzhou army today.

Even if their men and horses were stronger than the imperial court defenders, they could not be said to be able to compete with the Chuzhou army.

"General Deng, what a fierce man!"

Yu Dutong witnessed Deng Jian exert his power on the tidal flats with the strength of one person, opening up the situation for the people and horses who landed with him.

"General Shui, it's also good!"

An Yong is carrying the water into the department, and he is also amazed by the water entering and landing on the shore in a different way.

Weng and his son-in-law said, also with a bit of pride.

The military situation of the Chuzhou Army is promising.

Waiting for the boat to come, it was early noon.

"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

Yu Dutong hugged Huo Wu with his fist.

Huo Wu hurriedly helped and said: "The Chuzhou army has the Chaohu Water Division, like a tiger with wings, like a tiger with wings!" ”

Yu Dutong is not greedy for merit: "This battle is all thanks to the courage of General Deng and General Shui!" ”

"It's all good, it's all good!" Huo Wuxi is colorful.

Crossing the river is not just about crossing the river.

Everyone did not delay, Feng Monk Department, Du Lao Eighth Department, Ma Juzi Department, and 9,500 Luzhou soldiers belonging to Deng Jian and Shuijin Department crossed the river in batches.

On the north shore, only Huo Wu's father and son, Master Lin, Xue Biao and others remained.

Huo Bao said goodbye to everyone and took 10,000 child soldiers to Jiangpu, accompanied by Xue Biao.

Xue Biao will return to Binjiang and go from Binjiang to Jinling, find out the Jinling guards, and prepare for the subsequent Battle of Jinling.
