Chapter 595: The Battle of the Pontoon Bridge Ends

Shen Xiyi looked at the letter in his hand, and pinched his dead ball together into a paper ball.

The paper in his hand was a letter sent by Mo Dengyong.

Mo Dengyong wanted Shen Xiyi to go back immediately, return to Thang Long, and set up a village in the southwest of Thang Long, and use Thang Long City as horns. Support each other. Jointly support the situation in Thang Long City.

But Shen Xiyi didn't think so.

He secretly said in his heart: "King Yong's sailor really lives up to his reputation, but in a few days, he opened up the Red River." Even if the pontoon bridge can be held for a day or two, it will not be able to continue to maintain. It was only a matter of time before the Red River divided Thang Long City on its southern bank. I'm going to plan for myself, too. ”

Shen Xiyi's current position is very awkward.

Shen Xiyi originally wanted to harass Dongyong's rear. But as soon as he came here, he met Cen Meng's defeat. Cen Meng is the most powerful toast among the so-called wolf soldiers he brought.

It's not that Cen Meng is the most powerful toast recruited by Shen Xiyi. Instead, Cen Meng was the focus of Shen Xiyi's recruitment.

And Cen Meng's defeat gave Shen Xiyi's wolf soldiers a great shock.

After all, for these toasts, although the lives of the wolf soldiers under their command are not worth much. But it is their own capital, they came here to make a fortune, and they are very cautious about losses.

If the strength in Shen Xiyi's hands overwhelmed all the wolf soldiers, Shen Xiyi would naturally be able to control the advance and retreat of the wolf soldiers. But Shen Xiyi had five thousand soldiers in his hands. If you want to control the wolf soldiers, it is very difficult, and you must communicate well with all the toasts under your command before you can decide.

And now, even if Shen Xiyi wants to stay here. The toast under his command will not be willing.

As mentioned above, these toasts came to Annan to make a fortune and to find benefits. It is simply impossible to hold them accountable for Annan.

And Shen Xiyi didn't think about being loyal to Annan.

Shen Xiyi said secretly: "If the Mo army is trapped in Shenglong City, don't I have the ability to act automatically?" ”

As for how to act automatically, didn't Shen Xiyi already think about it before she came to Annan?

Shen Xiyi will never go to Shenglong.

Shen Xiyi immediately summoned all the Tusi and told them the latest situation, and then said, "Everyone, I have decided to go west and cross the river to the north by a detour. ”

Cen, Wei, Huang, and other Tusi leaders glanced at each other, none of them had the intention of fighting hard for Annan Mo's family, and said, "Obey the orders of your lordship." ”

"Really?" Mo Dengyong soon got the news.

After all, Annan is the territory of the Mo family, although the strength of the Mo family has been greatly damaged, but the intelligence ability is still very powerful, and if there is a little movement in Shen Xiyi's army, he can immediately control it.

Mo Dengyong secretly said in his heart: "Tens of thousands of wolf soldiers turned around, but I don't know if Mo Zhengzhong can control it." ”

The unreliability of the wolf soldiers, Mo Dengyong knew it at the beginning.

If Mo Dengyong is at an advantage, the wolf soldiers can still be used, but once the Mo clan falls into a disadvantage, it is natural for these wolf soldiers to abandon them.

However, he didn't have time to think about it anymore.

"Report, Your Highness, Dongyong Water Master is swimming against the current again."

Mo Dengyong let out a long sigh and said, "Let the defenders of the pontoon bridge retreat." ”

"Your Highness, this ----"

Mo Dengyong said: "Withdraw it." ”

Mo Dengyong is arranged on the pontoon, and there are more than 10,000 elites. Mo Dengyong now has a lot of people in his hands, and he has conscripted all adult males in the entire Thang Long Mansion as soldiers, but there are still very few elites who can really fight against the Yong army.

So Mo Dengyong was reluctant to lose a little elite.

I knew that the pontoon bridge could not be held. Mo Dengyong withdrew the elite soldiers first.

Liu Laodao sent troops again.

The Dongyong water division is where the pontoon bridge is located.

Along the way, several barrage cables were fused. Straight to the pontoon.

There are countless people on the pontoon bridge, bows and arrows are like rain, and there are trebuchets on the camps on both sides, throwing big stones from time to time. Smash into the river. Stir up countless splashes.

But this kind of defense, in Liu Laodao's opinion, seems to be a shelf. There was no effect at all, the sound of the snatched bow nailing to the side of the ship, and the sound of large stones falling on the ship.

Such an attack was of no use to the Dongyong ship.

"Set fire."

One by one, the canisters filled with fire oil were thrown out far away by the transposer and smashed heavily on the pontoon. It cracked violently. Countless rockets were immediately fired.

A flame ignited on the pontoon and spread. In just a few moments, it burned to the ground. It was like a long fire dragon connecting the two banks of the Red River.

The pontoon bridge was originally a combination of boats and planks, all dry wood, and as soon as it got on fire, it was out of control.

The fire can also be seen downstream.

Zhu Houhuang was overjoyed and said, "Okay." ”

Zhu Houhuang ordered: "Order the camp to occupy the city, conquer it with the sailors, and set up camp near the north gate of Shenglong."

"Yes."

One of the guards got up to give the order.

Zhu Houhuang continued: "Order Wu Ming to lead the headquarters and the new army to approach the south gate of Thang Long and set up camp, and pay attention to the fact that the wolf army headquarters is still in the south of Thang Long City. ”

Wu Ming said: "The minister obeys the order. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "It is rumored that the wolf soldiers have the intention of retreating, and maybe in the near future, the king will support you, so be cautious." ”

Wu Ming said: "The minister knows. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Lone and Yu Dayou sit outside the east gate of Shenglong, and when the artillery comes, they will attack the east gate." ”

Zhu Houhuang is old-fashioned, and there is one missing from the three.

Sure enough, the pontoon bridge is the key, as long as the pontoon bridge is lost, Thang Long is completely cut off from the north bank, and Thang Long becomes an isolated city.

If he could, Mo Dengyong would definitely fight Dongyong on the Red River.

But the construction of a sailor requires cycles, it is not that a keel is planted today and a boat will grow tomorrow, and even if there is a boat, the sailor needs to be trained well.

Mordenyong had neither the time, nor the resources, nor the manpower. It is simply impossible to build a powerful naval army on the Red River, so you can only give up.

This abandonment will lead to a complete passivity.

On the northern city of Shenglong, Mo Dengyong looked at the fire dragon in the distance, sighed long, and said, "Prepare to defend the city." ”

The pontoon bridge burned for half a day, and on the second day, only a few remaining iron cables were left to fix the ship, and on the second day, Liu Laodao came again and fused all the iron cables.

and began to cross the river, attacking the camp on the south bank of the Red River.

Although these camps, in Mo Dengyong's estimation, are places to be abandoned. But he can't easily give up this place to his opponent.

He also left a group of civilians, and a small number of officers held out. However, the water here is gentle, and it is an important ferry port in the north of Thang Long City, so warships can get close to it. So that the Franco's machine guns could be camped, several large ships pressed across the riverbank, and dozens of artillery shelled down. Knock out several gaps in the camp.

The people guarding the camp could not hold out at all under such artillery bombardment. It's almost all about to go away. Fortunately, Mo Dengyong stayed, and the backbone can still be maintained.

Wait until they get in order again.

The Champa camp had washed ashore.

Most of the Cham soldiers were short, black and thin. Moreover, the soldiers who occupied the city were not strong in combat. But these Zhancheng soldiers have already been trained under the command of Zhu Houhuang. Every time he made a feat, Zhu Houhuang was rewarded.

Zhu Houhuang's reward can be regarded as rich for the Dongyong soldiers, and for the Zhancheng soldiers who have nothing, it is even more abundant.

After all, these occupants were just slaves in other countries, and they didn't even have their own property, so where did they get it.

Therefore, their fighting enthusiasm is still above the Dongyong soldiers.

The battalion of Cham soldiers rushed into the camp, and the camp fell into a hand-to-hand encounter.

"Kill."

The artillery on the battlefield of the Dongyong Water Division also stopped, and only the sound of shouting and killing in the camp remained.

Both the quantity and quality of the Champa camp are above the Mo army defending the camp. On the day of the fight, the sound of the entire Dazhai shouting and killing slowly fell into a low ebb.

Suddenly, a flame ignited, and then a large flame seemed to burst out of the ground.

It was the Mo army that set fire to the camp when the defeat was already decided.

The Cham army immediately began to retreat to the shore, but there were too many ignitions in the camp for the Cham army to rush too quickly. Even the retreat was somewhat too late.
