Later, Zhou Zheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately transmitted the changes in the battle situation on both land and water to the war group on the north bank of the Xiaohe River.

Later, the two fierce generals attacked Guo Tingwei at the same time, one left and one right, and replaced the main general Li Chongjin who was fighting.

Li Chongjin, who returned to the south bank of the Xiaohe River, wiped his sweat, frowned and listened to the message of the herald, groaned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The ambush ships on the water may have been withdrawn from Shouzhou, and the number will not be too much, and our naval army still has a numerical advantage!" Besides, how many soldiers does he have in Haozhou City? There are still nearly 10,000 elites in our big camp under the city, how can we be afraid of his attack? Urgently tell everywhere, hold the camp steadily, and attack by water and land! ”

The three orders were immediately sent, and the drums shook the sky everywhere, and soon spread throughout the entire Da Yakou.

After Wei Chang gave the order to "attack all", he also threw off his big open, and personally ran over to help with drums, urging all ships to attack to the east.

Suddenly, a total of 70 large and small ships in the following week were activated, and rushed down the river to the Haozhou warships in the lower reaches of Lu, and the sound of killing on the river shook the sky.

Facts have proved that Li Chongjin's judgment is correct!

The Haozhou lurking ships that rushed out of the river plus the original combat ships were basically slightly more than half of the ships of the Later Zhou, and when they saw the full impact of the Houzhou naval army, they immediately showed their timidity, gradually retreated, and began to guard a virtual defense line from the foot of the hill to the northeast bank of the river.

On the north bank of the Xiaohe River on land, the horse rejection array that had been hit by six consecutive attacks had been basically emptied, and the shield array had been loosened, and two of the shield arrays had gradually moved back.

Under the protection of two tall shield bearers, Li Chongjin stood at the top of a small warship, coldly observing the battlefield in front of him, he found that the Haozhou soldiers behind the shield array were moving very frequently, and he looked panicked, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

When the news came that all the naval ships had rushed through the rock-throwing area and began to besiege the Haozhou naval army, Li Chongjin immediately came to his senses, grabbed a big shield, and dragged his gun to rush to the Haozhou shield array again.

Li Chongjin slammed a heavy spear on a large shield, and the wooden shield immediately shattered into several pieces, and the soldiers holding the shield in the rear could not withstand this heavy blow, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell on his back.

The pitch-black iron spear connected the dots and instantly took the lives of three Haozhou soldiers. When Li Chongjin calmly stabbed a Haozhou soldier again, before the iron spear reached his body, Li Chongjin found that the soldier was trembling all over, and he didn't even have the consciousness to parry, just staring at the black gun.

The iron spear pierced the soldier's throat mercilessly, bringing out a puddle of blood, and once again arcing at the other soldier, who jumped up nervously and slashed the tip of the spear with his knife. Li Chongjin's hand moved slightly, and the iron spear grazed the blade of the knife without any pause, and pierced straight into the soldier's chest.

Wrong! These soldiers don't look like battle-hardened veterans at all, they all look like they've just picked up a knife! Li Chongjin's doubts in his heart were even worse, and he kicked again, kicked away a Haozhou soldier, and dragged his shield back quickly.

Returning to the pontoon boat again, the more Li Chongjin observed, the more he felt that something was wrong, and now the attack of Liutiao Daotong was getting smoother and smoother, and he had forced the incomplete shield formation of Haozhou back to the camp wall at the foot of the mountain. Those Haozhou soldiers not only seemed to retreat in an orderly manner, but also a bit like an enemy.

Li Chongjin turned around and ran to Shi Detong on the south bank of the Xiaohe River, and asked loudly, "Have you ever seen the enemy retreat to the east?" ”

Shi Detong was a little puzzled, scratched his head and said: "Since the beginning of the war, scattered people have withdrawn along the foot of the mountain, but there are many people who have gone up to the hill one after another......"

"What about Guo Ting? Have you ever seen him again? Li Chongjin didn't wait for Shi Detong to finish speaking, grabbed his arm and asked urgently.

"His banner has always been there, but it seems that he hasn't been seen since he fought against you, maybe he will command in the back......" Shi Detong replied uncertainly.

"Immediately assemble an army of 2,000 and follow me eastward to support the battalion!" Li Chongjin yelled and personally ran over to arrest several lieutenants on the north bank.

Shi Detong was taken aback and yelled as he ran.

Soon, two thousand elites were assembled, and Li Chongjin had been sitting on his horse for a long time, pointing his big gun at the east, and yelling and ordering: "General Shi, you are responsible for commanding the remaining land and water soldiers to storm at any cost!" Brothers, follow me! ”

After roaring, Li Chongjin drove his horse and rushed along the path on the north bank of the Xiaohe River in the direction of Haozhou, ten miles away, and the other soldiers ran to follow.

At this moment, the sound of killing under the south gate of Haozhou City shook the sky.

The Haozhou army, which had been storming at the northern wall, went crazy, and rushed into the Houzhou Wan ** battalion from multiple gaps regardless of casualties.

Just now, two thousand soldiers suddenly appeared from the west side, several cavalry smashed the wall, Guo Ting, who took the lead, flashed his silver spear, picked up the Hou Zhou soldiers in front of him, smashed them open, and led the raiding soldiers to pierce a deep hole in the camp from west to east, and made every effort to meet the soldiers who broke in from the north.

It turned out that Guo Ting's sacrifice today was the tactic of attacking the east from the west, and the city of Haozhou sent 7,000 soldiers to begin a feint attack on the Houzhou camp to drag the enemy army, and attacked on the water at Da Yakou, and the ground was strongly defended, showing a posture of a decisive battle at Da Yakou. But in fact, since the start of the war, Guo Tingwei has gradually replaced most of the elite with village soldiers, and the main force of 3,000 has retreated scattered, gathered in a hidden place behind Da Yakou, and quickly sneaked to Haozhou City, becoming a surprise army to raid the west of the camp under the city.

At nearly noon, Li Chongjin led 2,000 support soldiers to the city of Haozhou, and found that 1,000 men were waiting on the north bank of the Xiaohe River in the southwest corner of the city.

Li Chongjin was so anxious that he didn't stop at all, and kicked the war horse under him and rushed straight into the battle formation.

The defenders of Qianhao Prefecture put on a classic defensive formation of bows and arrows, spears and shields, and resisted with all their might.

Two thousand elites against one thousand elites who are waiting for each other, naturally it is not possible to distinguish the winner in a short period of time. Li Chongjin killed three people in a row, but was desperately stabbed in the butt by a dying Haozhou soldier, and the horse became limping, jumping in pain, and lost the speed of sprinting. Li Chongjin had no choice but to jump off his horse and use his iron gun to open the way with all his might, but those Haozhou sniper soldiers were not afraid and were reluctant to risk their lives, and successfully slowed down the speed of the reinforcements' impact.

The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, and when Li Chongjin's troops successfully broke through the blocking position in several places, the gong of the retreating troops sounded over the south city of Haozhou.

The 1,000 Haozhou army rushed over from the east, covering the brothers who were blocking the position, and gradually retreated.

Li Chongjin, who could finally take a breath, jumped on the horse and looked around, and found that although his camp was already very bad, it was still fluttering his own flag.

Nearly Wanhao Prefecture troops crossed the moat in an orderly manner through five pontoon bridges, and then quickly entered the city through the city gate hole. The white horse that Guo Tingwei rode was stained with blood and turned into a red horse, and the bright silver spear he was carrying in his hand continued to drip blood on the horse, calmly watching Li Chongjin who was slowly approaching.

Li Chongjin, who had changed horses, instructed his subordinates to count the losses of the battalion, while staring at this young good opponent.

Soon, the adjutant general of the battalion sent someone to report that there was a surprise attack, with nearly 5,000 dead and wounded on his side, and a little damage to tents and food; Almost at the same time, there was also a quick horse report from the west, and the land battle at Da Yakou was almost over, with only a few enemy soldiers trapped on the top of the hill, and the infantry was coming eastward in formation; On the water, the Haozhou Navy received part of the defenders, and the whole army retreated sharply, and the Great Zhou Navy was following closely to kill the enemy, and it could reach the north of Haozhou City.

After counting the casualties in the two battlefields, Li Chongjin couldn't help but sneer, his own total casualties would not exceed 8,000, and the enemy would have at least 4,000 people, this casualty ratio was still within an acceptable range!

In the near future, in addition to the five hundred guards, the other Haozhou troops entered the city, and the five pontoon bridges were also destroyed by the soldiers who crossed the river after the most rear. Guo Tingwei put away the spear in his hand, let out a long whistle, stepped on a small boat, and crossed the moat. As soon as he landed ashore, he smashed out with all his strength, smashed the boat, and led five hundred guards into the city slowly.

At this point, the battle in Haozhou ended in a close draw.
