Chapter 84 Thousands of Troops Race South, Three-Foot Tongue Steals the City (10)

(Second update.) )

On February 25 of the second year of Tiancheng, Shishou Water Village, Tianyin, Jiangtao covered.

The attack on the pontoon bridge by the Wu Army's naval division is now the third day. In the past three days, the offensive of the Wu army has been going on day and night, and it has flourished day by day. Correspondingly, although the pontoon bridge was generally intact, the damage was becoming more and more serious, and the casualties of the Fuzhou army were also increasing day by day. At the same time, the vanguard general of the Wu army has been replaced three times, and the vanguard general of the Wu army who has been replaced, the previous two were reprimanded and dismissed by Chai Zaiyong, and they were almost beheaded, and the third person was fighting on the pontoon bridge and died at the hands of Ma Huaiyuan, who went into battle in person.

Zhou Xiaoquan, who adhered to the most dangerous place of the pontoon bridge, gradually became familiar with the method of attacking and fighting the Wu army's naval division, and commanded and dispatched the troops to respond to the battle, becoming more and more disciplined, showing extraordinary military talent.

Leaning against the wooden wall of the water village to rest for a long time, the exhausted spirit recovered a lot, after eating, in the never-ending battle, Zhou Xiaoquan watched the pontoon battle, and came back to the heads of all the departments gathered in one place and said: "At most half an hour, it will be time for you and me to go up again." ”

One commander of more than 500 men, after a fierce battle, there are now less than 400 who can fight again, the commander and three of the commanders are killed in battle, and now, including the newly promoted, five of the heads are in front of him, and four of them are wounded.

"Chief, when will this battle be over? According to the current way of playing, it won't take a few days, and half of us won't be left! A man of the same age as Zhou Xiaoquan, with a blood-stained bandage on his shoulder, said to Zhou Xiaoquan half jokingly and half worriedly.

This person's surname is Chen Yonsei, a son of a rich family, he has a slightly frivolous temperament on weekdays, loves to play and joke, but he is generous and informal, but he has not had much contact with the taciturn Zhou Xiaoquan, and they are not very familiar with each other before.

Zhou Xiaoquan sat against the wall with a horizontal knife, "Stick to the stone for ten days, this is the military order." Before that, even if there is only one soldier left, it will have to be fought. ”

Chen Yanshi pursed his lips, disapproving at Zhou Xiaoquan's formal and cold response.

"The art of war is cloudy, three out of ten casualties, and if you still can't win, you can be regarded as defeated, and you need to withdraw from the battle. Wu's army has many generals, and the offensive is flourishing day by day, and it is necessary to hold on for ten days, and I am afraid that I will not be able to do it. A man in his early thirties shook his head.

This person Zhou Xiaoquan is familiar with, named Wang Wenxiong, is his previous ministry, he was a scholar in the past, his family was ruined in the troubled times, and he was forced to join the army, because he had read some military books, and his knowledge was better than ordinary people.

"Ordinary battles are naturally like this, but the current battles, but ordinary battles?" Zhou Xiaoquan's voice was cold, "If you dare to disturb the morale of the army, if you dare to do it again, the military law will do it!" ”

Wang Wenxiong didn't say anything more, and an old soldier next to him laughed and played a round, "The commander doesn't have to be angry, Lao Wang just dropped two sentences in his bookbag, and the scholar is wrong, so he can't take it seriously!" The commander is in front of him, who dares to give up his life and forget death? ”

The name of the old pawn is almost unknown, because he has a pockmark on his face, and he is old, and the army calls him Lao Mazi.

Zhou Xiaoquan's eyes fell on the other two heads, compared to the characteristics of the first three, these two people have no characteristics in terms of appearance, figure or age, and there are such men everywhere in the army, their Chinese characters and faces are the most wounded named Xu You, and the thinner one with a sad face is called Feng Er - but he is the eldest brother of Feng San who died in the previous battle.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoquan's gaze swept over, Mu Ne's Xu You just nodded and said nothing, but Feng Er met Zhou Xiaoquan's gaze and said calmly but resolutely: "Commander, there is nothing else to ask for, if you die in battle like the third brother, please take care of the old mother on your behalf!" ”

Zhou Xiaoquan was awe-inspiring in his heart, knowing that Feng Er had already embraced the idea of death, for the war, this kind of mood was very good, Zhou Xiaoquan was the commander, he couldn't hit this kind of morale, but he was a little unbearable, he nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Dutou rest assured!" ”

Chen Yanshi interjected with a smile: "Boss, if I die in battle, I don't want anything else, there is only one thing, you have to set up a monument for me, I have a name in life and a surname in death, but I don't want to be a lonely ghost." ”

"Hugh is nonsense!" Zhou Xiaoquan's eyebrows sank.

The drums sounded, and the herald rushed over like arrows, and gave an order to Zhou Xiaoquan: "The general has an order, Zhou commands the envoy, and immediately lead the troops to battle!" ”

On the boat of Wu Guolou, Chai again kicked the fourth pioneer who came back to his life, his eyes were full of blood because of anger, the pioneer was not lightly injured, lost too much blood, and was directly kicked by Chai Zai and fainted.

"More than 10,000 soldiers, against only 3,000 soldiers, even after three days and nights of fierce battles and unable to win, in vain and others claim to be elite, you don't feel ashamed, but this handsome has no shame to face the world again!" The trembling white beard is telling the sky-high anger of firewood reuse.

As a famous general of Wu State, in Chai Zaiyong's career as a horse, there is no shortage of battles that are famous for winning more with less, and battles that cannot be won with superior forces have not yet been fought. In the second year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen went south to attack Huainan, claiming to have 400,000 soldiers and horses, and the generals of Huainan were invincible.

After that battle, Zhu Wen did not use troops to the south for the rest of his life, although this was because Liang and Jin were in a hurry to fight for hegemony, but they could not ignore the great victory of Chai Zai.

Angry at Chai Zause, Zhou Zong just watched coldly, shook the folding fan and said lukewarmly: "General Chai I is famous, and he is valued by the Wu State, and the King of Wu and the Prime Minister all regard the general as the humerus of the country, but they never thought that this stone battle would become such a stalemate, and the name of the general's constant victory will be lost." ”

"Shut up!" Chai Zai is arrogant and arrogant, and now he is a lot older, where can he stand such cynicism from a junior, and he is immediately angry. He turned around and went downstairs, and his footsteps stomped on the floor slab, "Ben Shuai wants to see for himself, this Fuzhou army can't be beaten with iron!" "But I want to be the pioneer myself.

Seeing Chai Zaiyong personally going into battle, Zhou Zong still refused to let go of the opportunity to radicalize the general, and shouted behind Chai Zaiyong: "General Chai will go out in person, and he will definitely succeed, and the juniors are waiting here to celebrate the general's achievements!" ”

After Chai Zayong left, a scribe beside Zhou Zong said worriedly: "Is it a little inappropriate for Du Zhiya to provoke Chai Shuai so much?" ”

Chai Zaiyong was not in front of him, Zhou Zong no longer had the previous arrogant color, sighed slightly, and said: "Xu Xiang went to Jiangling first, and there has been no news for many days, and now the situation in Jingzhou is changing rapidly, who dares to guarantee that Xu Xiang is perfect?" Chai Shuai Rongma has made countless contributions in his life, and he is the important weapon of the country, am I disrespectful? It's just that if I wait here for a moment longer, Xu Xiang will be in more danger, how can you tell me not to be in a hurry, not to provoke Chai Shuai to overcome this place! ”

The scribe suddenly realized, "Du Zhiya has good intentions, if Chai Shuai knows, he will not blame, and Xu Xiang will be relieved when he learns." ”

Zhou Zong waved his hand, signaling that the scribe did not have to pat himself on the back, he looked at the pontoon bridge in the blood and fire in the wind, his face was solemn and heavy, "The current situation is so difficult, all because of that Li Congjing, I want my Wu State and Jingnan to deal with each other for several months, but when it comes to the end, it is still Li Congjing who has taken the lead, and it is better to meet than to be famous. ”

The scribe was silent. The four words of anticipating the enemy are easy to say, but how difficult it is to do, and they can be a little bit of one or two, all of them are the world's talents. Although Wu Guo and Datang are enemies and enemies, he still has the courage and mind to admit this fact.

While the two were talking, there was a huge uproar on the Wu Guolou boat and fighting ship at the pontoon bridge. Following the prestige, the two saw a high-rise ship in the first place, the handsome flag fluttering in the wind, the handsome flag, the white-haired firewood and then facing the pontoon bridge, standing upright, the robe was sassy, as stable as Mount Tai.

The Wu army's offensive this time was more powerful than any previous one.

The bow of the third layer of the building boat, the position opposite the firewood reuse is the center of the pontoon, and the other side happens to be Zhou Xiaoquan's defense area. Being on the front line, there is undoubtedly a lot of danger, even if the big shield will use firewood to protect the inner three layers and the outer three layers, there is no guarantee that there will be no emergency. However, the war has reached such a point that if you want to win, you have to be open-minded.

In Chai Zaiyong's eyes, the pontoon bridge was already dilapidated, full of collapsed female walls, exposed gaps, broken hulls, dense bridges with arrows, stones, planks and corpses, and of course, more soldiers of the two armies fighting each other.

When he saw that the firewood was used again, Ma Huaiyuan immediately sent someone to ask Zhou Xiaoquan, if he couldn't support it, Ma Huaiyuan would replace him at any time. is different from the previous radical generals, Ma Huaiyuan's replacement words at this time are real words. Zhou Xiaoquan did not agree.

It was still very early before the ten-day period, Zhou Xiaoquan didn't want to let himself be discouraged so early, and besides, when he saw the firewood used again, he also had a boiling battle intent in his chest. Wouldn't it be the glory of the battle to force the enemy commander to be the vanguard himself?

However, in Zhou Xiaoquan's opinion, this is not enough, because Chai Zaiyong has not yet been in battle in person!

Chai Zaiyong frowned. He was very close to the pontoon, and Hugh said that the sound of fierce battles was even the shouting and screaming, he could hear it clearly. He frowned because he had just heard a word. Because of these words, he locked his eyes on one of the young generals on the other side.

"Dutou, Feng died in World War II!" Chai Zaiyong heard enemy soldiers shouting on the pontoon bridge in front of him.

"Who?" The young general didn't look back, and buried his head in the fight.

"Feng Er!" The Fuzhou sergeant shouted.

"Remember his name!" The youngster roared.

"Yes! Feng Er, the head of the Fuzhou army, died in battle! ”

"Feng Er!" "Feng Er!" "Feng Er!" Chai Zaiyong heard those Fuzhou troops who were fighting bloodily, and they all began to roar. Those two words, like their war song, inspired them to fight endlessly. This made Chai Zaiyong's face change, because of these two words, the battle of the Fuzhou army became more and more fierce.

"Dutou, Xu You died in battle!"

"Who?"

"The head of the Fuzhou army is blessed!"

"Remember his name!"

"Xu You!" "Xu You!"

Chai Zaiyong couldn't sit still any longer, got up suddenly, turned off the boat, and went to the bridgehead in person to participate in the battle to seize the bridge.

The soldiers of the Fuzhou army were like crazy demons, shouting the names of those who died in battle, moving forward, forgetting to die. If he does not participate in the war again, the so-called battle of being the vanguard in person will also be in vain.

The coach personally braved the arrows and stones, which is always the best way to boost morale, and Chai Zaiyong stepped forward to fight, so that the offensive of the Wu army was frustrated for a while.

After a tragic battle, Chai Zai's gray beard was dyed red, and the two armies fought to the death, and he finally led his guards to attack the pontoon bridge - the weakest and strongest bridge deck of the Fuzhou army.

There was not much left of the Fuzhou army in the place in front of him, and Chai stood with a knife, but he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The young general struggled to get up from the pile of corpses in the pool of blood, the iron armor on his chest was torn, hanging in front of him like a worn cotton cloth, his left arm was drooping, his red eyes were staring at the firewood again, and he came with a few remnants and limped.

The young general gritted his teeth, and blood gushed out of his mouth, but he said stubbornly and calmly: "Feng Er, Xu You, Chen Yanshi, Wang Wenxiong, Lao Mazi and other soldiers, under the first command of the Fuzhou infantry army, were ordered to garrison the Shishou pontoon bridge on February 22 of the second year of Tiancheng, fought for four days and nights, repelled the attack of the Wu army and the water division 27 times, killed more than 400 enemies, and died in the battle with Chai Zayong, the commander of the Yang Wu water division!" I am their commander, Zhou Xiaoquan of the Tang Dynasty, and now, I will send you back to Yang Wu for them! ”
