What the hell happened last night?

This is not only Yang Wu's question, but also the question of all other Huainan generals. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It stands to reason that when Zhu Quanzhong personally led the troops, no one would dare to cause chaos in the Liang army's camp, let alone cause such a big loss to the Liang army.

As for the fact that it was caused by an external enemy, this is even more strange.

The army led by Yang Wu stayed in the camp last night and did not move, even the Huainan cavalry was left behind to be on guard, so it could not be Yang Wu's subordinates.

Then the question arises, in the army near here, in addition to the Huainan army, who dares to raid more than 100,000 Liang troops, and they succeed?

"Your Highness, could it be that my army's sailor did it?" Zhu Jin asked with some hesitation.

If it is said that the Liang army was attacked by the Huainan naval army that led to the defeat, then it is possible.

However, it was impossible for the Liang army not to guard against the surprise attack of the Huainan naval army; Second, if it was really Huainan Sailor who had won such a big victory, they should have sent someone to report the good news a long time ago, and it was impossible that Yang Wu didn't know any news until now.

So Yang Wu shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, if it was done by the water master, then what about them?" It's already noon, why don't you see them alone? ”

This battle is really a bit inexplicable, the Liang army was defeated, this is of course a thing to celebrate, but who attacked the enemy army, Yang Wu and others are confused.

At this time, someone pointed to the downstream river and said, "Your Highness, there are a large number of ships coming here in the distance, it should be our sailor!" ”

Yang Wu hurriedly looked over, and the person who took the lead was Sima Fu, "Could it really be that the sailor did it?" Yang Wu was even more puzzled.

However, when Sima Fu came over and asked, he realized that Sima Fu didn't know what was going on, he just found a large number of Liang Jun's corpses washed down by the water in the lower reaches of the Huai River, so he went up against the current to check what was going on.

"Could it really be that Liang Jun himself is infighting?" Yang Wu couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the cavalry in charge of the guard nearby came to report, and they met a group of people, the leader of which claimed to be Zhu Jing, the guard general of Huoqiu, and the man claimed that they did what happened last night!

"Zhu Jing?" Yang Wu was really shocked now.

If this Zhu Jing didn't lie, then the credit he made this time would be too great.

It's just that Huoqiu is just a small county town, although it is a border county, but the defenders are only one or two thousand people at most, this person dares to attack more than 100,000 Liang troops with such a small number of people, and they have made it, how can Yang Wu not know that there is such a fierce man in Huainan?

It's not like you're here to take credit, is it? Yang Wu was a little skeptical.

At this time, Li Chengsi's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, what happened last night may really be done by this Zhu Jing!" ”

"You're saying this person really has that kind of ability?"

"Yes, and besides, this person is the only one around here who has the ability to do what happened last night!" Lee Seung-si explained.

It turned out that Zhu Jing was a native of Huoqiu, with a heroic temperament, and was very famous in the local area, and he was a well-known figure.

At the beginning, after Yang Xingmi led the army to pacify Haozhou and Shouzhou, because Huoqiu was located in the north and south, it was not only often harassed by the Liang army, but also there were many thieves in the local area, and the place was not peaceful.

Yang Xingmi heard that this Zhu Jingnai was a well-known local hero, so he appointed him as Huo Qiu's guard.

After that, Zhu Jing recruited hundreds of market scoundrels with various specialties in Huoqiu, practiced day and night, and was trained by him to create an elite army.

With this army of more than 100 scoundrels as the core, Zhu Jing expanded the army to 1,000 people, guarding Huoqiu, thieves from all over the country did not dare to attack, that is, the Liang army was often defeated by Zhu Jing when it went south, and even once he defeated more than 3,000 Liang troops with more than 100 people.

If this man did what happened last night, it's really possible; It's just that it's still a little difficult to explain in terms of details, especially if they launch a surprise attack, the losses of the Liang army will not be so great.

Yang Wu immediately summoned Zhu Jing to ask, and only then did he know what had happened.

It turned out that the stone statue left by the Liang army when he crossed the river had been tampered with by Zhu Jing's people.

If you are familiar with the local hydrological conditions, who else knows better than Zhu Jing, a local?

He secretly ordered the stone statue to be moved, and in just a dozen steps, the stone statue was moved from shallow water to deep water; As for why the water surface only reached the chest of the stone statue, it was because Zhu Jing had other stones under the stone statue to raise it.

Since the distance of the stone statue was not large, and it was night when the Liang army crossed the river, no one could tell that the stone statue had been moved, they only saw that the water had just submerged the chest of the stone statue, and thought that there was no problem in crossing the river.

As a result, when the main force of the Liang army crossed the river, those soldiers who waded across the river stepped into the deep water area, which immediately caused chaos, and a large number of soldiers shouted for help.

The other soldiers didn't know what was happening, and it was when they were panicked that Zhu Jing led more than 1,000 people under his command to attack the more than 100,000 Liang troops.

These people did not engage the Liang army head-on, but went around creating chaos and shouting "The Huainan army is coming!" ”

As a result, the Liang army, which was already in chaos, was even more chaotic, and the soldiers thought that the main force of the Huainan army had arrived, and they were immediately frightened and crowded with each other, and many people wanted to cross the river as soon as possible to escape.

A large number of soldiers crowded into the Huai River like this, but what they didn't expect was that the shallow water area ahead was not at all a shallow water area where they could directly wade across the river, but a deep water area that was as high as two people!

The soldiers of the Liang army were mostly northerners, who did not know the nature of water, and they also wore heavy armor and held weapons in their hands, and countless people were drowned.

What's more, the soldiers in front suffered heavy losses, but the soldiers behind did not know what was happening in front of them in the dark night, they were still swarming into the river, pushing and shoving, even if they wanted to stop, they could not stop for a short time.

It was not until Zhu Jing and their withdrawal that the chaos of the Liang army was gradually quelled, but the losses of the Liang army were terrifying, with at least more than 10,000 soldiers killed.

In addition, because the three previously marked crossing points were no longer usable, the efficiency of the Liang army crossing the river was greatly reduced, and Zhu Quanzhong had no choice but to burn all the grain and grass baggage, and a large number of weapons and armor were thrown down, and only the soldiers were transported by boat, so he barely crossed the river before dawn.

Listening to the whole process, Yang Wu was pleasantly surprised.

This time, Zhu Jing's contribution was so great that even Wang Maozhang and others felt jealous.

Yang Wu immediately appointed Zhu Jing as the assassin of Suzhou, promoted him to the commander of the capital, and rewarded him with 100,000 yuan.

As for his subordinates, Yang Wu asked Zhu Jing to report to the meritorious person on his own and commend him.

It was a great reward, but it was not much compared to the merits he had made.

Although Yang Wu defeated Kang Huaizhen before, if there was no Zhu Jing, Zhu Quanzhong's main force would have retreated unharmed, and Yang Wu's victory would be discounted at that time; But now that this is the case, everyone in the world will know that the army led by Zhu Quanzhong himself has suffered a big loss.

The significance of this to Huainan, especially to Yang Wu, is much greater than only defeating Kang Huaizhen, and after it is transmitted, the shock to the world will be greater.

After rewarding Zhu Jing, Yang Wu's heart moved, and he asked Zhu Jing, "What is the name of this ferry?" ”

The significance of this battle and the previous battle to eliminate Kang Huaizhen is definitely not lower than the battle of Qingkou.

At the beginning of the Qingkou battle, Huainan officially became one of the strongest vassals in the world, and had the strength to argue with Zhu Quanzhong; But if you really want to talk about it, Huainan's strength is still not as good as Zhu Quanzhong's, otherwise this time Zhu Quanzhong would not dare to lead the army south so hastily.

It is foreseeable that for a long time in the future, the regime based on the Central Plains will not dare to go south, and Huainan can take this opportunity to unify the south with peace of mind.

Such an important battle naturally can't be without a name, so Yang Wu asked.

Zhu Jingdao: "This place is extremely ordinary, and there is no name, please give it a name to Your Highness!" ”

Yang Wu said with a smile: "You have made such a great contribution in this battle, and this ferry is in the territory of your Huoqiu County, so this naming matter is still up to you!" ”

Zhu Jing was very excited, he thought for a while and said: "There is a Wangjia Village in the east of Sanli here, why don't you call it Wangjiadu?" ”

"Wangjiadu?" Yang Wu was a little dissatisfied, this name was too ordinary, but he had already asked Zhu Jing to name it, so it was naturally difficult to change his words.

"Okay, then this battle is called the Battle of Wangjiadu! The order went down, and all the heads of these Liang army corpses were cut off and built into a Jingguan, and stacked here to deter the enemy! Let Zhu Quanzhong know that I, Huainan, am invincible! Yang Wu loudly announced his victory, and at the same time announced Huainan's victory.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

……

I don't know who took the lead, but at first, only a few people held up the weapons in their hands and celebrated loudly; Then, more and more Huainan soldiers joined in the cheers, their voices getting louder and more neat.

More importantly, the slogans they shouted gradually changed from "Wan Sheng" to "Long live", and the object of their shouts also became Yang Wu, who sat on horseback and stood in the midst of the army.

In the midst of the cheers of the ten thousand troops, Yang Wu's prestige also rose rapidly, and even Gao Miao, Zhang Xun and other Huainan ministers also surrendered to Yang Wu from the bottom of their hearts and joined the cheering crowd.

From now on, even Yang Xingmi can no longer hide his prestige, and he himself will become a truly famous general!
