What happened on the day of the battle in Quarshiji, different records are different, considering that these historical books have undergone the modification of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong, deleted the role of Xu Yongzhi, and even the names of him and Fei Yanggu and Li Shoujie, it is necessary for us to talk about the situation on the battlefield that day.

The Southern Tang Army was actually not so vulnerable.

In Huainan after the anniversary, Zhao Kuangyin once led the forbidden army to beat the Southern Tang Army, that is because Huainan is a real place of four wars, and it must be coordinated and cooperated by boats, infantry, and horses in order to be able to defend it.

But when it came to the Yangtze River, the cavalry could not exert its strength.

At this time, the stronger the team, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

According to Zhou Zhuocheng's plan, Du Zhen's 10,000 infantry and Zheng Yanhua's 10,000 sailors could perfectly destroy the Yangtze River pontoon bridge.

The premise is that 20,000 people work together to fight to the death.

Don't joke, the two disagreed, and Du Zhen and Zheng Yanhua had a dispute.

The most feared thing in the world is to entrust the same thing to two people.

Especially two different people.

Du Zhen was born as a thief, and after receiving Zhao'an, he listened to orders in the army.

There was an order in the Southern Tang Dynasty: poets - cadres - martial artists, the first class of people were admitted to the Jinshi, and those who could compose poems, such as Xu Xuan and Feng Yanlu, could be ministers; The second class of people is from the state and county officials, such as Li Sigui in the Southern Tang Dynasty, although he also passed the Jinshi examination, but his poetry and writing are mediocre, and he is obsessed with financial management and administration, this kind of person can be in charge of the state and county; The third person is the military leader, such as Zhou Zhuocheng.

There are also people who are not waiting for outsiders, that is, people like Du Zhen who have been thieves and salt lords, this kind of person has the ability, courage, and impulsive personality, but it is not good to really fight.

The Southern Tang Dynasty has not used troops for more than ten years, and the last large-scale mobilization of soldiers and horses was the burning of Linquan Town and Longhu Mountain.

So, Du Zhen's problem is that he commands an army of 500 people at all, and if you give him 5,000 people, he doesn't know what to do, just like if you give a child 50 yuan, he buys all the sugar gourds in a fit of anger, and if you give him 5,000 yuan, he still buys all the sugar gourds.

What's worse is that commanding a large corps is not something that can be easily learned.

This is also the reason why a military leader like Zheng Yanhua looks down on them, Zheng Yanhua is already quite experienced in commanding a team of thousands of people, he knows the difficulty of organizing advance and retreat, and he is quite restrained in using troops.

So a clash broke out in the command of the Southern Tang Army.

"Lao Zheng, you fight on the boat, I fight on the shore, rush over with all your might, and the enemy will be finished." Du Zhen said.

Finished? Of course not.

The horse infantry army on the opposite side is Cao Bin, and the naval army is the fleet of Feiyang Valley, with an army of 100,000.

"Are you crazy?" Zheng Yanhua asked in surprise.

"Crazy what mad? The court raised you, and you will do it yourself! Du Zhen said.

"Don't let your soldiers die in vain!" Zheng Yanhua said.

After saying that, Zheng Yanhua understood that this sentence had no effect on Du Zhen.

Zheng Yanhua is the envoy of the festival, and his soldiers are his own soldiers and horses.

Du Zhen is not, Du Zhen's soldiers, in addition to the 2,000 people in the headquarters, are from the imperial court, Li Yu, and assigned to him to command, he doesn't know those soldiers, and he is not close to them.

"Are you afraid of death?" Du Zhen looked at Zheng Yanhua angrily.

There were more than 20 generals in the battalion, and their eyes were fixed on two people.

People who are willing to kill with Du Zhen, fools, reckless ghosts, or people who are simply bent on death, they clamored together.

But the people who were unwilling to die with Du Zhen couldn't speak because of this voice.

"In peacetime, it is still a festival envoy, a prince, and a war is going to be fought at a critical moment, and it is not a rude soldier like us who rushes to the front!" Du Zhen looked at his supporters triumphantly.

"Yes, yes!" A group of people responded to him.

Those who were forced to remain silent should also be prepared to flee or simply surrender as soon as the war begins.

"Lao Du, think about these people," Zheng Yanhua pointed to those who didn't make a sound, "They all have wives and children, don't let them go to death, fight conservatively, there is no harm." ”

"Lao Zheng, seeking wealth and danger, don't you understand this sentence?"

This is really ridiculous, the Song army has erected all the pontoon bridges, what else is there to be rich? If the war is fought in your own land, can you still conquer the city?

"Chibi and Weishui, didn't they all defeat the Northern Army, and the soldiers are not in the wide." Du Zhen said.

"Lao Du, the next sentence is called, where will you be strong, you are loyal to the monarch and patriotic, I agree with it, but if you are so blindly invested in it, Datang will be in danger, and only by retaining our strength can we have the capital to negotiate peace with Bianliang."

"If you want to make peace, then don't fight." Du Zhen said.

"If you don't want to keep Datang, then go into the enemy formation and die!" Zheng Yanhua said.

When Du Zhen came out of the camp, he took half of his military horses with him.

also left a hard sentence:

"I'm going to attack at the end of the day, if you want to join or not, it's up to you!"

Zheng Yanhua's subordinates looked at each other, and some people felt that the festival was a bit of a wretch, but most people understood a truth, they were here, and they could survive.

Du Zhen's army is very spiritual.

When you see a general entering the enemy line and not taking the enemy into his eyes at all, you will unconsciously feel that this person is immortal.

You don't have to be a general, when you have a company commander or squad leader who can always solve problems, you will feel that your team can solve all the troubles.

Mental power can sustain a lot of victories, but once it starts to collapse, it is a full-scale collapse.

Du Zhen led his troops to rush to the enemy in front.

As soon as they saw that they had horses, they immediately began to run away, and they did not even raise their short spears.

This is a logistics team of the Yangzhou Xiang Army, this army is mainly used to supply grain, although some spears and archers are added to provide protection, but the main soldiers are horsemen, boatmen, coachmen and cooks, Du Zhen brought two hundred cavalry, can already kill all sides in this team of three or four hundred people.

"Song Jun doesn't seem to be very strong...... Du Zhenle thought.

"The infantry will follow, dismantle the pontoon bridge!" When Du Zhen arranged and dispatched the team, Cao Bin's men arrived.

Cao Bin is the new general of the Great Song Dynasty, although he is older than Xu Yongzhi, but he became famous after Xu Yongzhi, and this time his identity is the deputy capital of the Mabu Army warship deployed in the southwest road of Shengzhou.

This name looks a little mischievous, it doesn't matter, just remember that he is the deputy marshal of this war. Cao Bin's soldiers are the most well-trained, so when the logistics team is defeated, Cao Bin's soldiers and horses automatically leave a passage for these defeated soldiers to let them go to the back of their own positions to receive protection, and at the same time, there are officers behind to contain these defeated soldiers, so that they can calm down so that they can counterattack.

Therefore, when Du Zhen saw the elite soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty, he could no longer get out of the battle.

Cao Bin's soldiers poured from the pontoon bridge, and soon formed two wings, and they were numerous, forming an encirclement of this group of Tang troops, although Du Zhen led two hundred elite cavalry, but was squeezed by this group of heavy infantry, and could not break through.

They approached the Tang army with spears and axes, leaving their horses tired and wounded.

Du Zhen's infantry attacked several times, but they couldn't break this encirclement to take him out, and the encirclement of the Song army became thicker and thicker......

"Lao Zheng, where is your ship!" Du Zhen shouted and cursed.

If a fleet appears at this time, a rain of arrows ......

Du Zhen thought to himself.

Regarding whether to save Du Zhen, Zheng Yanhua also struggled.

At noon, Du Zhen's situation was very good, and Zheng Yanhua was ready to attack.

But at this time, the envoy of the Du Zhen faction also went.

"General Du is going well, and if the Jiedu envoy does not send troops again, I am afraid that the credit will be lost."

That's exactly what I said.

Even if Zheng Yanhua is a gentle person, he can't bear it anymore here.

"The water village will not move."

By the time the situation collapsed again, Du Zhen couldn't even send a messenger.

At this time, the Lin Quan appeared.

The Linquan has been painted with five straight characters on the bow, which means that it has sunk and captured twenty-five enemy ships, and with boilers and dragons as power, it can not only attack with the wind, but also go against the water, forming a real crushing force for the Southern Tang army.

With shotguns!

Fei Yanggu commanded the gunners, and he saw Du Zhen who was trapped.

Ash bottles, gravel, and thistles were accurately tossed into Du Zhen's cavalry, and the frightened horses rushed to the left and right, and the wounded rolled and groaned.

"Ceasefire!" Fei Yanggu drank the gunner.

"Do you want to fight a wave of crossbow arrows?" Fei Yanggu asked Xu Yongzhi.

Xu Yongzhi looked at it, and only Du Zhen was alone in the encirclement, standing with a flagpole.

"No need, just leave it to Lord Cao." Xu Yongzhi said.

He gave a military salute to Cao Bin in the army to express his gratitude to the friendly army, and Cao Bin saw it and hurriedly returned a salute on his horse from a distance to show his respect for the commander.

Xu Yongzhi instructed Fei Yanggu to direct the helmsman to continue downstream.

Cao Bin's soldiers began to enter the encirclement to mend their swords.

"Come on, Du Zhen is dead today!"

Du Zhen's bravery can only be passed down by his enemies, because none of his men can see it.

Because the more than 9,800 infantry behind him had already collapsed under the onslaught of the infantry and archers led by Li Shoujie, the commander of the soldiers and horses.

Xu Yongzhi and Fei Yanggu saw Zheng Yanhua's fleet fleeing north to Jinling from a distance, and they couldn't catch up.

"This guy is a quick escape."

"Coward." Fei Yanggu said contemptuously.

"No, he's self-aware." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Self-aware?" Fei Yanggu asked.

"That's right, he wants to keep the fleet, and he thinks that if he keeps the fleet, he can negotiate peace." Xu Yongzhi said.

"But the strategy of the official family is actually that as long as Li Yu does not burn Jinling City, no matter when he surrenders, we will accept it." Fei Yanggu said.

"Yes, this policy is public. It's a pity that Li Yu doesn't want to trust others, otherwise he wouldn't have to die these people. Another one is that Zheng Yanhua himself is thinking about his own way out, as long as there is a ship, there is the possibility of returning to the Great Song Dynasty, and the fleet will always be the capital of the admiral. Xu Yongzhi said.

"This person can't make it, I'm really lucky, I'm not in the camp of the Tang Army today." Fei Yanggu sighed.

"Yes, our generals of the Great Song Dynasty are much more united than them." Xu Yongzhi said.

Early in the morning, the Song army approached the river outside Jinling City, and that morning, the bell on the Jinling court rang.
