The Yuezhou army that discovered Wangjia Village was a scout team of more than a dozen people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Last night, they were supposed to be in charge of cruising around Hangzhou, but because of the heavy rain, they blocked their view, and as a result, these people unknowingly deviated from their original direction. I didn't find out until after dawn. However, when they were about to turn around and return, they suddenly found that there was a large camp tent in the remote fishing village ahead!

Before these dozen scouts could get closer to confirm the situation, they were also discovered by the scouts of the Yuezhou army, and after a chase battle, although they finally escaped back, a long time had passed.

At this time, when they heard that there was actually an army of thousands of people hidden thirty miles outside the city of Hangzhou, and they didn't know anything before, whether it was Qin Pei or other generals, they were stunned by this news.

"General, could it be the defenders of the city that the scouts have found?" The person who spoke was Zhu Siqing, who had just come here with his army, and had only arrived the night before yesterday, and this was the army that Qian Biao's scouts had vaguely seen.

"The scouts could confirm that the army numbered in the thousands, and Ben would have thought, if it was the defenders of the city, what were they doing there for no reason? This was a bit strange, so Ben suspected that they weren't the defenders of the city. Qin Pei said in a deep voice.

"So where does the general think that will be the army? Could it be that the Yuezhou Army is not successful? Fan Sicong asked jokingly.

If it is possible for the defenders of Hangzhou to hide from the Huainan army scouts by taking advantage of the night to cover the city, then how did the Yuezhou defenders conceal the meticulous work of Huainan and march hundreds of miles to come here?

"Yes, General Ben thinks that they are the Yuezhou army!"

"What? It can't be, right? How did they hide from our army? Could it be that all the fine works on the Yuezhou side have been bought by the enemy? Fan Si was a little unconvinced.

"General Fan, don't be busy jumping to conclusions, at least, if it is this general, there is definitely a way to mobilize the army to Hangzhou without alarming our army." Zhu Siqing said in a deep voice.

"Okay, don't worry about where the army came from, in the current situation, let's strengthen the defense! With such heavy rain and the sudden appearance of enemy troops, this is really too strange, and you must be on guard! Qin Pei stopped the generals' discussions, and said in a deep voice: "Now that it has been so long since the enemy army was discovered, if the enemy army really has any action and starts attacking as soon as it is discovered by our army, I am afraid that it will not be long before it arrives here!"

"Woo......" At this time, the mournful sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the distance, but it was muffled by the sound of raindrops outside, but it seemed like nothing.

"What's going on? Have the two Zhejiang armies already fought? Qin Pei was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to go out to inquire about the situation.

"Report, General Qiyu, the enemy army is killing our camp, it is only less than two miles away from here, and our army in the outermost part is about to engage the enemy army!" After a while, a guard outside barged in to give a report.

"How did you get the enemy to find out at such a close distance?" Qin Pei frowned, but now is not the time to pursue these issues, the enemy army has already attacked, but these generals under his command are still here to participate in the military meeting, this enemy has come at an inopportune time.

He hurriedly ordered: "Generals, go back quickly to prepare, there is not much time left for us." You must remember that with such a heavy rain, there will definitely be problems if you want to effectively command it for a while, so you must observe the situation more and cooperate with each other more, don't get caught in a melee and don't know what to do, I am afraid that I will not be able to give you effective orders! ”

The result must be that Qin Pei, the commander of the army, can neither effectively grasp the battle situation, but also difficult to issue military orders in time, so at this time, he can only remind the generals in advance, and then hope that in the next melee that is very likely to occur, the Huainan army will defeat the enemy with stronger combat effectiveness.

"The last general obeys!" Many generals knew that the situation was urgent and did not dare to slack off.

"General Zhu, you just arrived here, this time stay as a reserve first!"

"The last general obeys!" Zhu Siqing bowed down to receive the order.

Seeing the generals receiving the military order and rushing out, Qin Pei couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, a few days ago, because of the continuous heavy rain, he ordered the army to retreat ten miles out of caution, but he inadvertently jumped out of the danger of the enemy's internal and external attacks.

At this time, when Qin Pei began to give orders, the army at the southernmost end of the camp had already begun to engage the enemy army.

As Luo Yin said, the continuous heavy rain still made the Huainan army's vigilance drop a lot, although the news of the scouts was obtained in advance, but Qian Biao's army was too fast, so that the Huainan army's preparation was still a little insufficient.

Because of the rain, the role of the bow and arrow was basically lost, and the trebuchet was disassembled for the convenience of transfer when the position was transferred a few days ago, and it was not assembled at this time, so the enemy army was not hindered much at all, so he successfully crossed the trench, approached the camp, and pushed to the wall, and launched an attack on the Huainan army in the camp.

What was even more unfavorable to the Huainan Army was that because the timing of Qian Biao's arrival was a bit coincidental, as a result, the Huainan Army had not returned at this time because the generals of all the departments had participated in the military meeting in the Qin Pei camp, and it looked a little chaotic in the face of the surprise attack of the two Zhejiang armies.

At the southernmost end was the 5,000 men of Fan Sicong's department, who suffered a great loss at the beginning of the war: when the camp was built, in order to remove too much rain from the camp, there was a gap between the garrison of their department and the other departments of the Huainan Army behind, and this gap became an opportunity for the enemy to use and surround them.

"Sima Fu, do you see that gap there? You immediately lead your troops to intersperse there and block the reinforcements of the surrounding enemy forces! ”

As soon as Qian Biao entered the camp with the army, he found that the enemy army was completely unprepared. He carefully observed the surrounding terrain, and quickly found the flaws left by the enemy army when he set up camp, even if he was ready to surround the enemy army of nearly 5,000 men in front of him first, if he could successfully destroy it, it would definitely be able to greatly damage the morale of the enemy army, and then take advantage of the victory to launch an attack on the rest of the enemy army to extend the victory.

"The last general obeys!" Sima Fu promised loudly, then waved the big knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, come with me!" ”

Because of the successful mobilization of the Yuezhou army to Hangzhou this time, Qian Biao deliberately handed over the newly established army to Sima Fu to command.

"Bao Junfu, you go to the enemy's right flank and occupy the hill in front of you to block the arrival of reinforcements from the enemy's right flank." Qian Biao ordered in a deep voice without stopping.

"The last general commands! Brothers, come with me! ”

"Attack quickly, and be sure to quickly destroy the enemy army in front of you!"

Qian Di's face was full of excitement, he had only decided to launch a surprise attack in desperation, but he didn't expect to really catch the enemy by surprise.

However, what Qian Biao didn't expect was that although it was surrounded by enemy troops, and the 5,000 army was a little chaotic because Fan Si was never there and no one commanded it, this army was an elite army after reorganization, not the state soldiers under Zhang Kezong's department at the beginning, so although there was some chaos, they still insisted on resisting.

Seeing this situation, Qian Biao couldn't help but be a little anxious, although the continuous heavy rain allowed them to successfully break through the enemy camp, and even successfully surrounded the five thousand enemy troops in front of them, but it was also because of the heavy rain, which made the ground very muddy, and the soldiers on both sides could only fight in the muddy water, which greatly reduced the efficiency of killing, and as a result, the advantages obtained by the two Zhejiang armies in the local area could not be brought into play, and the battle had a tendency to fall into a stalemate.

"This damn rain!" Qian Biao couldn't help but curse, a good battle of encirclement and annihilation, but the current melee situation made his mood continue to sink.

At the same time, Qin Pei was also cursing the weather, the rain was too heavy, so that he could not effectively grasp the development of the battle situation, and therefore could not effectively command, although he had expected this before, but what he didn't expect was that because of the mistake in building the camp, Fan Sicong's troops fell into the enemy encirclement at the first time.

However, the continuous heavy rain made it impossible for him to carry out a quick and effective rescue, and he could only count on the generals of the various departments to spontaneously engage the enemy army.

"Zhu Siqing, you immediately lead your troops to attack, you must tear open the encirclement of the enemy army, and take out our troops who are under siege!" As soon as he gritted his teeth, Qin Pei ordered the reserves in his hand to be beaten out.

"General, the reserves have been used so early, what if there is any unexpected situation next?" Zhu Siqing was a little surprised, the reserves are generally not used until there is an emergency, and even many times they are used to retreat.

"Now the two sides are fighting, fighting for a breath, if our army can successfully rescue the soldiers who are surrounded by the enemy, then our army will be greatly boosted by morale, and it will be able to gain the upper hand in the melee; In turn, if the morale of the enemy army is greatly boosted, then our army will have some difficulty next. ”

"Yes, the last general will attack!"

……

A big battle gradually evolved into a melee with the continuous investment of troops on both sides, Qian Biao's side could not quickly eliminate the Huainan army in the encirclement, and the Huainan army could not quickly rescue the friendly troops in the encirclement, so the two sides were fighting each other in the heavy rain.

By the time it got dark, Qian Biao saw that he could no longer completely defeat the Huainan army, so he could only unwillingly order the withdrawal of the army.

On the other side, although Qin Pei's army successfully blocked the enemy's surprise attack, it failed to gain the upper hand, and even because of the chaos at the beginning, they were still at a disadvantage in the following melee.

At this time, seeing that the enemy army took the initiative to retreat, Qin Pei's army did not choose to chase, in this weather, it was already dark, even if the troops were sent to pursue, I was afraid that the effect would not be good, and it was possible to be taken advantage of by the enemy.

In the end, after some counting, the Huainan army lost nearly 4,000 people and wounded more than 4,000; The corpses left behind by the two Zhejiang armies on the battlefield were as high as more than 2,000, and it was difficult to identify the wounded.

Hearing this news, Qin Pei breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a defeat, but at least it was not completely defeated by the enemy, and it was not the worst situation for everyone to continue to stalemate like this.

"Come on, quickly send the information about the appearance of the Yuezhou army in Hangzhou to General Wang Maozhang, and let him send troops to attack Yuezhou first!"

Qin Pei immediately ordered, and then began to think about how to report the defeat of today's battle in Guangling.

……

Late at night, the Yue Wang's Mansion was brightly lit.

Although he felt very tired after a whole day of fierce fighting, Qian Biao and his generals were here to discuss.

Now that the plan to raid the Huainan Army has failed, the situation in front of them is a little troublesome.

The news that the Yuezhou army quietly came to Hangzhou would definitely not be able to hide the Huainan army, so Wang Maozhang, who was stationed in Wuzhou, would definitely take the opportunity to lead his troops to attack Yuezhou.

However, it is a little difficult to withdraw the Yuezhou army under the control of Qin Pei's army, don't think about taking the land route, even if you take the sea route, you may be attacked by the enemy when you board the ship. Moreover, the Huainan Army is not without a naval army, it was just defenseless before, but now that it is prepared, can they safely return to Yuezhou by sea?

In addition, because of the losses in today's battle, if the 5,000 Yuezhou troops were transferred back, in the event that the enemy suddenly concentrated their troops in various places to attack Hangzhou directly, then the defenders of Hangzhou would be a little insufficient.

Qian Biao had a headache, and he couldn't fight head-on, so it was not a way to continue to hold on. At this time, he missed Gu Quanwu very much, if Gu Quanwu was here, he might be able to come up with ideas to help him solve the difficulties.

"Great King, although our army failed to completely defeat the enemy in today's battle, on the whole, our army was the victorious side, and at least 4,000 enemy troops were eliminated, and the number of enemy wounded is even more incalculable."

"The entire Huainan army is only more than 20,000, and one-fifth of it was wiped out in today's battle, as long as we come a few more times, the enemy army will be completely wiped out by us, so the king and you don't have to worry so much." Seeing that the atmosphere of everyone in the audience was a little solemn, Luo Yin suddenly laughed.

Hearing this, Qian Biao couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe this old man can still be optimistic at this time.

However, today is also a victory in the end, and Qian Biao didn't want to hit everyone's confidence, so after listening to Luo Yin's words, he reluctantly smiled: "Yes, today is a victory for our army no matter what, and then everyone has a good rest and recuperation before they can fight again." As for whether the Yuezhou army will return immediately, a decision will be made after careful consideration. Disperse first! After speaking, Qian Biao took the lead in getting up and leaving.

Hearing this, all the officials looked at each other a little, but they could only say goodbye and leave.
