Chapter 606: The Sailor is here

Along the estuary of the Tuojiang River, go up the river for dozens of miles, is the gateway of the Tuojiang River, the Tuojiang River Water Village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The location of the info water village is very ingenious, the Tuojiang River here, almost has a 90-degree right-angle turn, the water village is built on this right angle, across the river, the water village building is completely built of giant trees, and on the shore, it is a key village-style military camp. Now this water village and the fortress on the shore are no longer the banner of the Zeng family, but the banner of King Ning's southern army.

Zheng Zhiyuan stood on a thousand material warship, stroking the flag of the Dingzhou Navy Division, his heart was unsettled, when the Zeng clan rebelled, more than a dozen thousand material warships and thousands of sailors under his command never sailed out of this water village again, and they were all buried on the Tuojiang River. Staring at the water gate of the water village slowly rising, the corner of Zheng Zhiyuan's mouth showed a sneer, It won't be long before I will let you light a raging fire.

According to the agreement between Li Qing and King Ning, Li Qing will withdraw the Dingzhou army that is still active in the Liaoshen area, and this time, Zheng Zhiyuan led more than a dozen thousand-material warships upstream, which is to go to Baimadu to pick up Chen Zeyue, Tang Hu and his party who are still there.

Standing on the boat, he could vaguely see the cold light of the bow and crossbow flickering above the water wall, and the soldiers who were looking at his group with wide eyes and vigilantly, Zheng Zhiyuan raised a middle finger at them contemptuously, and then flicked his sleeves and turned around and walked into the cabin.

Although the Tuojiang Water Village hung the banner of King Ning, the water division of the Pang army has not yet been stationed in a big way, but symbolically sent some of the officers of the water division to enter here and began to implement management. The war posture against Liaozhou was not lifted.

As a result of the negotiation between Pang Jun and Deng Peng, Deng Peng was pushed back alive on the grounds that he had not yet received Li Dashuai's order, and on the far sea, the sailors sent by Pang Jun were still blocked by the Dingzhou Sailors and were not allowed to pass.

"Commander Deng, I have fully demonstrated our sincerity, you should give a good word!" The white-haired Pang Jun was on the Qiyuan stationed on the open sea at this time, and on his side, Deng Peng, the commander of the Dingzhou Naval Division, was standing.

Although the Dingzhou army still implements the first place in Liaozhou, Pang Jun still ordered the Tuojiang Water Village to open the door to the Dingzhou Naval Division, so that the other party can go upstream to pick up the Dingzhou army in Baimadu, in exchange for the Dingzhou Naval Division to release the water passage and lift the *** on Liaozhou.

"Now our two families are friends and not enemies, no matter how many grievances there were between the Zeng clan and Dingzhou in the past, now that they have surrendered to King Ning, then they can be regarded as King Ning's subordinates!" Pang Jun held the side of the boat and said to Deng Peng.

"Our department has received an order from Dingzhou, and after receiving back the Baimadu army, the Dingzhou Navy Division will all be evacuated!" Deng Peng had no smile on his face, stared at Pang Jun and said: "General Pang, the Zeng family trapped tens of thousands of troops in my Dingzhou to death, that is, my Dingzhou Naval Division, and thousands of people died here without any precautions. If I don't get the heads of Zeng's father and son, I won't give up! ”

Pang Jun smiled, "Commander Deng, he will talk about his affairs in the future, since the Zeng family belongs to the king of Shunning, it is my Pang army's friendly army, if Commander Deng wants to settle accounts with them in the future, I am afraid that he will have to pass my pass first." ”

"It is my Deng Peng's honor to be able to fight General Pang!" Deng Peng said with a smile: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, the two of us will not be on the same order of magnitude, and the old general will not say that I am bullying you!" ”

Pang Jun laughed, "Wait and see!" Although the face is relaxed, but Pang Jun's heart is not easy at all, Deng Peng's threat is not empty words, although the Dingzhou Navy Division promised to withdraw from Liaozhou, but on the open sea, it still maintains a chain of the entire coast, with Lianshan Island and other large offshore islands as a base, so that the two sides have not yet fought, the Dingzhou Navy Division has occupied an innate advantage, and, according to intelligence, the second large ship in Dingzhou has been successfully launched for sea trials, and will soon be incorporated into the Navy Division.

Looking at the behemoth under his feet, Pang Jun frowned slightly, the Dingzhou Naval Division of the big ship has been in possession for almost a year, and I believe that with Deng Peng's ability, he has already figured out some tactics, and the Southern Army, although he got a full set of construction drawings from Li Qing, but in the Southern Shipyard, he has only just completed the keel construction of the entire ship, and if he wants to be launched, it will take at least half a year, and to form combat power, it will almost take a year later.

It is unthinkable that Li Qing, a commander who was born as an army general, attaches so much importance to the construction of the naval division, and the development of the Dingzhou naval division has already left the naval division of the Southern Army, which used to dominate the sea, far behind, and I am afraid that for a long time, the southern army will only be able to focus on coastal defense, and it will be impossible to go to the open sea to fight with the other side.

In Baimadu, the Dingzhou army has shrunk from tens of thousands of people at the most time to less than 5,000 people, and the more than 2,000 Dingzhou troops brought up by Chen Zeyue and Tang Hu on the mountain have excluded those who have been injured and disabled and can no longer fight, and there are only more than 800 Dingzhou veterans under Jin Chao, who were originally stationed in Baimadu, and only more than 500 people remain, and Liu Yuan's troops have less than 2,000 people who can participate in the battle, and the losses are not unbearable.

After the siege of Baimadu was lifted, the armies of Nafu and Lu were withdrawn, but Zeng Yifan still left about 10,000 troops stationed under Baimadu to implement *** on the Dingzhou army. This made the situation even more difficult for the army on the hill. Fortunately, Liu Yuan's previous reserves were quite abundant, so that the combat soldiers could eat one dry meal a day, while the other non-combat personnel could only eat one porridge a day to talk about their lives. Fortunately, there is a shortage of everything on Baima Mountain, that is, there is no shortage of firewood, otherwise it is really hard to say how many wounded people can survive in the ice and snow last year.

What makes the perseverance of the people on the White Horse Ferry even stronger is that there will be intelligence officers lurking up at the foot of the mountain from time to time to convey the latest battle situation to them, and the news that the Dingzhou army is advancing vigorously and winning a big victory all the way makes their fighting spirit even higher, and everyone firmly believes that as long as they stick to it, there will always be a day when they will see the blue sky through the clouds.

The army under the mountain is decreasing day by day, and by February, there is only one battalion of about 3,000 people left, which is less than the strength of the troops on the mountain, but the soldiers on the mountain at this time really have no strength to go down the mountain to fight a battle. Around Baimadu, sparsely populated, and it is impossible to raise the grain and grass needed by the army, Chen Zeyue will not risk going down the mountain, victory is just around the corner, if you go down the mountain at this time, and are swallowed by the opponent, then you can't say that there is suffering, and now the army on the mountain, the combat effectiveness is almost equal to zero. All the soldiers are hungry and skinny, they can't eat enough for a long time, and they lack nutrition, and it is already very good that soldiers can hold their weapons, but what worries Chen Zeyue even more is that almost all soldiers have night blindness, and when it comes to night, they are equivalent to being blind. If Zeng's army came to attack at this time, Chen Zeyue really didn't dare to guarantee that he could hold his position.

Fortunately, the victory of the commander frightened the opponent, and since February, Baimadu has not been attacked again, and the two sides live next to each other at the foot of the mountain and the other on the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, it was March, the spring flowers were blooming, the snow covering the White Horse Mountain had long since melted, and the forest was slowly rejuvenated, which gave the soldiers a new task every day, to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, and the edible wild vegetables that had just been pulled out of the sprouts were almost all picked, and if they could occasionally catch a prey, it would be a windfall.

Chen Zeyue sat on a stretcher, was carried to the top of the fortress of Baima Fort Fortress, since yesterday, the army under the mountain suddenly began a large-scale retreat, to this day, the original camp has been wiped out, leaving only the mess all over the ground, Chen Zeyue stroked his broken leg, watching the surging Tuojiang River rolling down, the joy in his heart couldn't help but reflect on his face.

"It's finally time to be free!"

"General, why are you so happy today?" A few of his own soldiers asked.

"We're going home!" Chen Zeyue said, "See, the enemy is all gone, it must be our sailor who is coming, we are going home!" ”

"Home?" The veterans' voices were a little choked, "Are we really going home?" ”

"Lao Chen, why did you come here?" Tang Hu's characteristic loud voice sounded behind Chen Zeyue, "Hahaha, Lao Chen, I was so lucky today, I actually found a blind bear in the mountains, Mom's, but he is also skinny, Lao Tzu and a few pro-soldiers took a lot of effort to clean him up, Mom's, if it was before, I would have killed him alone!" Tang Hu walked over happily, "Today we have a good mouth." I left four bear's paws, and the rest were dragged by the soldiers to make soup, and each of them had some meat. ”

Tang Hu, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, was also so thin that he was out of shape, and his face was deeply sunken, showing his one-eyed more and more. While rubbing his hands excitedly, he ran towards Chen Zeyue.

"A few of you, carry Lao Chen, let's go back and get bear paws to eat, Mom's, it's okay to smell the fragrance first!" Tang Hu laughed hoho. Chen Zeyue couldn't help but wonder that Tang Hu, no matter what kind of desperate situation he was in, he could always maintain an optimistic attitude. Several soldiers lifted the stretcher and prepared to go back.

After walking a few steps, a personal soldier inadvertently looked back, but suddenly froze, and on the Tuojiang River, pieces of white sails appeared.

"Boat!" He muttered, as soon as his hand was released, the stretcher suddenly crooked, and the defenseless Chen Zeyue groaned, flipped down, and fell to the ground.

"Boat!" The soldier suddenly screamed hoarsely.

Tang Hu turned his head, and even Chen Zeyue, who fell to the ground, turned his head to look at the Tuojiang River under the mountain, closer, closer, and could already see the flag fluttering on the boat, Dingzhou Sailor, that is Dingzhou Sailor.

Tang Hu didn't know where the strength came from, as soon as he bent over, he pulled Chen Zeyue up, shook his hand, and actually put Chen Zeyue on his shoulder, "Old Chen, the boat is here, the sailor is here, we have survived to the end, hahaha!" ”

On the Tuojiang River, Zheng Zhiyuan stood at the bow of the first ship, looking at the Dingzhou military flag fluttering high but somewhat broken on the White Horse Mountain.

On the mountain, there was a thunderous cheer, and countless Dingzhou soldiers who were lying in the house in order to save physical strength and reduce consumption rushed out with cheers, and rushed down all the way down the White Horse Mountain to the river beach. The wounded and disabled soldiers supported each other, tears streaming down their eyes.
