Chapter 826: Dead End
readx;
On the lookout...... Ai Yongjun burst into tears...... He saw countless Dingzhou soldiers crossing the river and rushing onto the embankment, and his love stabbed Lei Hong into the chest with several spears, and then raised it high and thrown into the river, he clearly saw that Lei Hong tried his best to turn around and look at his eyes at the moment he flew into the air, full of reluctance to the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He saw, one by one...... The children of the southern army were killed on the river beach, on the embankment, the war horses that galloped across the river knocked the soldiers who desperately blocked and flew out, under the heavy blows of the Dingzhou trebuchet and the eight-ox crossbow, the military formation had already fallen in pieces, and then in the charge of the Dingzhou iron cavalry, it was cut into pieces and became the object of slaughter. The remnants of the soldiers retreated to the camp, but the simple camp could withstand the bombardment of stone bullets weighing dozens of catties, and fell one by one. On the bridge in the river, the Dingzhou soldiers were pushing Zhanfeng, and the chariot was carrying scorpion cannons, ballistas and other weapons, galloping.
Ai Yongjun pulled out the battle flag on the watchtower with one hand, drew his waist knife with the other, waved the battle flag with one hand, and roared angrily: "Assemble under my flag!" β
At noon, the Dingzhou army broke through the defense line of Ai Yong's army on a front about 30 miles wide, crossed the river, and more wooden bridges were erected, and all kinds of long-range weapons were transported to the front line through wooden bridges in an endless stream.
At this time, the remnants of the Southern Army, more than 3,000 people, abandoned all the defense lines, and formed layers of military formations with the camp fortress watchtower as the center, preparing for the final battle.
Under the protection of Hu Zuo's subordinates, Lu Dalin crossed the Wudu River.
"General Lu, that's Ai Yongjun!" He Ping, who was accompanying Lu Dalin, pointed to the general of the Southern Army waving a flag on the watchtower, and said loudly: "If this person can be captured alive, I believe it can greatly damage the morale of the Southern Army fleeing south." β
"I'm afraid it's hard!" Lu Dalin shook his head and said, "This person has long had the intention of dying...... It's hard to capture him alive. Besides, if this person does not die, it will inevitably make these remnants of the Southern Army lose their fighting spirit and cause us unnecessary casualties. There are more than 3,000 of them, and the dog has to jump over the wall when he is in a hurry, so there is no need to take such a risk, every one of our soldiers is precious. β
"Someone, give me orders!" Lu Dalin said.
"General, please command!" A pro-soldier beside him said loudly.
"Command trebuchets with eight-oxen crossbows, aim at the watchtower, cover the shooting...... Knock down that watchtower and destroy it for me! β
"Yes!"
The stone machines that had been rowed across the river were quickly installed, and dozens of trebuchets were aimed at only one target, that is, the watchtower on which Ai Yongjun was perched.
"Aim!" A school bureau raised the order flag.
"Launch!" The flag fell heavily.
The sound of collapse sounded at the same time, and ten ripe stones flew out at the same time, covering half of the sky in black. The throwing arm was pulled down and the stone projectile was quickly loaded...... When the first batch of stone bullets fell, the second batch of stone bullets had already flown up.
Within tens of square meters of the watchtower, it was completely submerged by stone bullets, and when the first batch of stone bullets fell, the watchtower had been collapsed, and the second batch of stone bullets fell, and the watchtower was no longer visible...... The Ai Yongjun above is also gone...... Only the flag of the Southern Army still stubbornly stood among the stones, waving in the wind.
The whining sound was incessant, and rows of eight-ox crossbows flew by...... The flag was swept up by high-speed crossbow arrows, and only the bare flagpole stood alone.
"Kill!" Hu Che'er raised his gun and snorted.
"Rush!" Dong Dasheng laughed wildly and rode up.
"Sons, come on!" He Ping, Liu Jiang was unwilling to be left behind, and rushed forward bravely.
...... from several directions The Dingzhou army rushed to kill the last military formation of the southern army.
An hour later, the last Confederate soldier was killed on the battlefield by a saber.
In the battle of Wudu River, Ai Yongjun relied on Wudu River with 10,000 southern troops to block LΓΌ Dalin's 50,000 soldiers and horses for three days, causing LΓΌ Dalin's troops to suffer more than 3,000 casualties, of which more than 1,000 were killed in battle, and more than 2,000 were wounded and withdrew from the battle sequence.
On March 6, LΓΌ Dalin, Xu Ji, Jin Chao, and LΓΌ Dabing's troops met, and the number of soldiers and horses under his command increased to more than 70,000.
On 7 March, Lu Dalin's troops, who had rested for a day, were divided into three routes, one to Sifangyan, one to Bailonggang, and the other to Xiabaoping.
At the same time, Tian Feng and Xiong Jiwang, Chang Liqing's generals Lan Yu and Xu Siyu surrounded Wangjiang with a total of 40,000 southern troops, and there was no way to return to the south.
Once the main force of the southern army began to retreat in great strides, Hu Faquan had no way to hide the news that the back road had been cut off, and the entire southern army was panicked, and the army had no food and no war, and now for the southern army, the army would die without food, the way back to the south was far away, and the military rations he carried with him were less than ten days, and now the only hope was the supply points in Sifangyan and Xiabaoping.
But the reality is remnant.
Zeng Yifan made Feng Li's camp capture Xiabaoping, swept away all the materials there, Feng Liying in addition to bringing up the part he needed and then quickly whipped up, all the way to Quanzhou, followed by Zeng Yifan took all the remaining materials away, just left Hu Zequan an empty warehouse, and the Sifang Weir was a fire, and Hu Zequan's other hope was completely extinguished.
Hu Jingquan's figure has been completely rickety, and a lot of hair has fallen out, and in more than ten days, he seems to have passed more than ten years.
"Order the generals of all armies to no longer have to restrict military discipline, go all the way back, and allow the soldiers to collect food on their own!" As a general who attaches great importance to military discipline...... Hu Zequan gave the order in pain...... He knows ...... Once the army loosens its discipline, it will inevitably degenerate into a group of bandits, and the southern army, which has become like bandits, will no longer be able to have the combat effectiveness it used to have.
But Hu Fa can't do anything, this goes to Quanzhou, and he has to attack Yingcheng, where Quancheng is waiting for Li Qing's department, this section of the road will take at least a month, maybe not straight, because behind him, there is also Wei Xin's soldiers and horses following them like hanging boots, and behind Wei Xin, Lu Dalin's main force must be chasing after him in a hurry, and now Hu Zequan's primary consideration is how to make the soldiers survive and not starve to death.
Quancheng, since February 15 Li Qing's troops captured Quanying, they drove a large number of Quanzhou people to build fortresses, build positions, not only Quancheng Yingcheng, even the Tuojiang River on both sides of the fortress is also densely packed, a lifting trebuchet will completely block the Tuojiang River, in case Hu Fa is all tied down the wooden raft down the river, the wooden piles in the Tuojiang River are deeply driven into the river, and under the river, a stream of iron wire is connected these wooden piles into a whole, Hu Ze does not put the wooden rafts are acceptable, once put down, in this wooden pile array that stretches for several miles, It will definitely become a live target for shore trebuchets and eight-bull crossbows.
Quancheng is the largest material transit station of the Southern Army to attack Weizhou here, all kinds of materials are piled up like a mountain, with Li Shanbin's surrender, so that the Quancheng garrison Lu Xin has no chance and time to destroy these materials, and the piles of materials like a mountain fell into Li Qing, and were quickly transformed into a sharp weapon against the Southern Army itself. For more than ten days, Li Qing continued to draw a formation diagram and issue orders, making Quanying's front-line operation impregnable.
Even if Hu Faquan's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were able to get rid of the pursuit of Lu Dalin and Tian Feng and run back to the front line of Quanying, they were still greeted by the sickle of death.
Deng Peng conquered Anshun Port, and the Marine Division broke into Liaozhou, making it impossible for Liaozhou to send reinforcements to attack Quanying on both sides, which made Li Qing have no worries, and the Dingzhou Naval Division, which had the right to control the sea, could choose the coastal area as the focus of their attack at will, which made the Southern Army Shanghai everywhere rumored and everyone was in danger.
Seeing that the frozen Tuojiang River has thawed, and the ice is as small as a day, Li Qing's heart is more and more convinced that after the Tuojiang River is completely unsealed, the Dingzhou Navy Division will be able to send thousands of small boats into the Tuojiang River to support the Quanying line, and after annihilating Hu Ze's entire department, the Dingzhou army can use the benefits of the Tuojiang River water transportation to cut the Liaoshen region into a piece of land to harvest, presumably in May and June, the overall situation of Liaoshen can be determined, and he can also plan the final attack on Ningzhou, Bozhou, and Dengzhou, the base camp of the Southern Army.
"My lord, the secret detective of the Supervision Yuan passed on the book of the flying pigeon." Li Wen trotted to Li Qing, who was patrolling the fortress by the Tuojiang River, and presented a small sealed iron pipe to Li Qing.
Opening the iron pipe and pulling out the letter, Li Jian scanned it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Lord, is it a great victory in Weizhou?" Li Wen looked at his face and already knew a rough idea.
"Yes, on March 5, Lu Dalin's troops completely annihilated the main force of the Southern Army, Ai Yong's military headquarters, at the Wudu River, and killed more than 10,000 enemies. Xu Siyu, the general of Tian Feng's subordinates, is trapped in Wangjiang in the Blue Mountain, and the army's grain and grass have been exhausted, and it has become a turtle in Weng, and it will collapse overnight. β
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Li Wen was also overjoyed, "The great work has finally been completed." β
Li Qingyang raised the letter, "There is more interesting!" β
"Oh?"
"Zeng Yifan made Guo Quan rob Hu Ze of all his supplies, and ordered Guo Quan to occupy Baima Mountain, Baimadu, he is preparing to be one, the king of the mountain!" Li Qing said with a smile.
Li Wen laughed, "Zeng Yifan robbed Hu Faquan of the last bit of life-saving money, but he did us a great favor, occupying the mountain as the king, and he can figure it out if he loses it, lord, what are you going to do?" β
Li Qing slowly tore up the letter paper, raised his hand, and fell into the Tuojiang River flutteringly, and went down the river, "Inform Guo Quan that this person doesn't have to stay anymore, trap him in Baima Mountain, and then divide and disintegrate his department, Guo Quan can collect as much as he can!" In the future, when we attack the south, we can also help a little. β
"Got it!"
In Dingzhou City, a fast horse came from outside the city, and the messenger with the red flag on his back galloped wildly, and shouted loudly, "Weizhou victory, Weizhou victory." I will defeat the 200,000 men and horses of the Southern army. β
Wherever the guards passed, there was a sudden burst of jubilation, and the people threw away what they were holdings, and frantically followed the messenger forward, and the call of the great victory of Weizhou resounded wave after wave throughout the city.
Dingzhou, the hall of the palace of King Zhou, Lu Yiming, Luo Daoming, Yan Nanfei, Li Muzhi, Qingfeng, Fu Zhengqing and other senior officials in Dingzhou are discussing today's financial expenditure.
"It seems to be shouting for the victory of Weizhou!" Lu Yiming was pleasantly surprised.
The voice fell, and a guard had already come from Feiben, with a look of ecstasy on his face: "Weizhou 800 miles to report the victory, General Lu Dalin, General Tian Feng led the troops to defeat the 200,000 southern army, Weizhou is a great victory, we have won!" β
It's early in the morning, and I've finally finished writing this chapter, and the next chapter is estimated to be a bit difficult at eight o'clock in the evening, so I will try to finish it before ten o'clock.
Bow, beg for forgiveness, beg for all kinds of tickets, beg for rewards.
