Volume 3 Three Watches: The Past Is Empty Like a Dream Chapter 299 The war is turbulent and unsettled
When there was no naval army defense map, Cao Bin thought that there were heavy guards here and did not dare to attack easily, and repeated attacks bypassed the water fence, and he knew that it was a paper tiger, so he would have attacked it a long time ago.
Zhao Guangyi agreed, and he also wanted to see it. How will Qi Zhengxiu deal with it this time.
Three days later, on the night, Cao Bin took 5,000 men, divided them into ten warships, and began a night attack from the water gate, where the hundreds of Tang troops guarding the water gate were still caught off guard by the Song army in a sleepy haze. Early the next morning. Before Zhao Guangyi got up, there was already good news. The Song army successfully captured the water gate, and now the Song army's warships are stationed there, and the Tang army has all retreated. Xiao Tao listened behind the bead curtain, and her heart was torn apart.
Zhao Guangyi hurriedly got up and rode his horse to the water gate. There doesn't seem to have been much fighting, some of the discarded armor, and some of the abandoned boats, dilapidated but not tragic. The warships of the Song army were already neatly arranged in the direction of the water grating inward and longitudinally.
Cao Bin, who was excited, said to Zhao Guangyi: "King Jin." This was indeed a gap for the Song army, and it was taken down effortlessly after the sneak attack. It turned out that their defenders here did not even have more than 200 men, and they had not been beaten. ”
Zhao Guangyi walked onto the warship of the Song army, checked the terrain back and forth, froze, looked at Cao Bin and hooked his lips: "Do you think that the Tang army will only deploy 200 people here if there is a shortage of people?" ”
Cao Bin was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Zhao Guangyi said: "But, isn't this already captured?" ”
Zhao Guangyi pointed to the east side and said: "The terrain of the tributaries of the Yangtze River here is long and narrow, and the water gate is just an entrance. I don't know what kind of terrain it will be, so what's the use of taking down the grate? After a pause, Zhao Guangyi sighed, "I'm afraid it's a strategy to lure the enemy in." ”
Cao Bin was a little unhappy. After a night of hard work with his brothers, the king of Jin not only did not reward him, but hesitated as if he had lost the battle, which was really disappointing. I don't have the face to talk about, and the brothers have no enthusiasm. Those who work hard to fight are better than nesting in the camp tent and watching the excitement. Cao Bin said a little pretentiously: "Since the King of Jin is worried, then it is better to continue to lead the brothers into the hinterland to see what tricks the Tang army is playing." "As soon as he won the first battle, Cao Bin was really encouraged. Can't wait to keep attacking; Second, his son is in the hands of Zhao Kuangyin, and he will finish the battle as soon as possible.
Zhao Guangyi saw that Cao Bin was full of spirit, glanced at him coldly and said, "Do you really want to continue?" ”
"Yes! If you don't continue to attack the water fence, how can you be willing. Cao Bin replied categorically. Circumference Spit Number.
"Okay." Zhao Guangyi said lightly, "Then you will take the soldiers with you." Soldiers and horses below 10,000 can be dispatched by yourself. If it's more than 10,000, you have to tell me. ”
Cao Bin's heart moved, and he said loudly.
Xiao Tao walked back and forth anxiously in the camp tent, what to do, the Tang army was defeated. Is it because her naval army deployment plan is broken? Didn't Qi Zhengxiu understand what she meant? Why don't you change it? Xiao Tao blamed herself and felt guilty again, and her heart was like a firecracker, banging and exploding.
It's easy to wait until noon, and Zhao Guangyi comes back. Xiao Tao hurriedly rushed over and asked, "How is it?" Is the message accurate? Was the Don Army really defeated? ”
Zhao Guangyi took off his cloak, his face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "The Tang army has retreated, but it doesn't seem to be a real retreat, but like a bait." ”
Xiao Tao was stunned, she didn't understand the war. But listening to Zhao Guangyi's meaning, although the Tang army was defeated, the situation was not bad. Xiao Tao didn't continue to inquire, her identity was already embarrassing, Tang and Song were at war, when she was comfortable, Zhao Guangyi would inevitably be bad, and when Zhao Guangyi was comfortable, she should blame herself and suffer. Xiao Tao silently put Zhao Guangyi's cloak aside, Zhao Guangyi grabbed Xiao Tao tightly with his backhand, and the two hugged each other, but they didn't speak, only their thoughts were heavy.
As soon as Cao Bin succeeded, he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue. Zhao Guangyi also gave him the power of 10,000 soldiers and horses without asking for instructions. Cao Bin took a boat to inspect along the river to the east during the day, the boat traveled only a few miles, it was the second pass of the Tang army, it was an abandoned ferry Bailingdu, there were originally many warships of the Tang army, here was the second barrier to protect Runzhou, and then passed through the elephant valley to the core part of the Runzhou navy, if it hit there, there would be a fierce battle.
It's just that Bai Lingdu's current warships don't look like many from a distance, thinking that after attacking the water gate last night, the Tang army retreated backwards, feeling that Bai Lingdu was in no danger to defend, so he simply continued to retreat, preparing to concentrate on defending the Elephant Valley? Cao Bin inspected back and forth several times, and saw that Bai Lingdu's warships were still slowly and leisurely walking along the waterways of the Huixiang Valley, and he was even more firm in his opinion. It's not that I haven't fought with the Tang Army before, although the Tang Army is flexible, but weak, which is a natural weakness. So there's still some power to parry in one place. Thinking about it this way, Cao Bin made up his mind to strike while the iron was hot and occupy Bai Lingdu. Anyway, step by step, it can account for a little bit is a little bit.
Two days later, Cao Bin transferred another 5,000 soldiers and horses, and Bai Lingdu now has not much defense left, and 5,000 soldiers and horses are enough. Cao Bin designed the route, the way of attacking, who would be the vanguard and who would be the backup, and arranged them one by one, preparing to continue the sneak attack at night two days later.
Although Zhao Guangyi gave him the right to dispatch less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Bin thought about it and went to Zhao Guangyi's camp to say hello. Zhao Guangyi was noncommittal, and said slowly: "If you insist on going, I won't stop you." But I only have one word of advice, after occupying Bai Lingdu, you must not be greedy for great achievements, and continue to go deeper. In case there is fraud. ”
Cao Bin clenched his fists. Then he turned around and walked out of the tent. Although he said yes, he didn't think so. Zhao Guangyi didn't even go to the battlefield to take a good look at it, and sat here talking about it. He also fought with Nantang for a few months, but Zhao Guangyi remained motionless, and when he came, he stopped. I have led the troops for so long, and the Southern Han of Houshu have all fought, and I am still afraid of the Southern Tang Dynasty?
Zhao Guangyi's camp tent is divided into two parts, the front is a study and a bedroom. When Cao Bin came, Zhao Guangyi did not shy away from Xiao Tao. Only let Xiao Tao go behind the curtain. After Cao Bin left, Xiao Tao came out from behind the curtain and said with some concern: "Since you think it's inappropriate, why did you let Lord Cao send troops?" Zhao Guangyi, who Xiao Tao couldn't understand, sat firmly on Mount Tai. No matter how much he tolerated her and loved her, he would never abandon Song and protect Tang when the Tang and Song dynasties were fighting, why would he watch Cao Bin make mistakes?
Zhao Guangyi's voice was faint: "If you can't help him, he will have resentment in his heart." It is up to him to win or lose, and he is responsible for himself. What's more, if Cao Bin can really learn some lessons, he has other plans.
Xiao Tao seemed to understand whether she understood or not, but her heart was tight, and she didn't feel sleepy, and accompanied Zhao Guangyi to wait for Cao Bin's battle report in the camp tent.
Cao Bin took 5,000 elites, and divided into 10 warships, this time the warships were large and small, the shore of Bailingdu was a river bay, some were deep and some were shallow, and the size of the ships was different, so it was good to land flexibly or turn direction. Taking advantage of the night, just after the hour, Cao Bin took the lead in leading the navy along the river road after the water fence and approached Bailingdu.
The Tang army defended by Bai Lingdu saw the Song army from a distance under the moon, hurriedly beat the war drums, and quickly assembled the soldiers. In the middle of the time when the Song army was close to the ferry, more than a dozen warships had been lined up to fight.
Cao Bin let the boat attack first, the boat was dexterous, and quickly approached the side of the Tang army's ship, and the Song army was sturdy, and quickly climbed onto the Tang army's ship to fight. The big boat behind followed, aiding the small boat in front. When the ships were connected, the Song army and the Tang army were all killed in one place, and no matter whose boat it was, a fierce battle began.
Cao Bin stood on a large ship at the back, watching the two armies face each other. At first, the dexterity of the Tang army had a certain advantage, and the Tang army was familiar with the nature of the water, and fighting on a warship was no different from fighting on flat ground. But Song Jun needs to adjust. However, the physical strength of the Song army was indeed stronger than that of the Tang army, and in less than two hours, the Tang army began to retreat one after another, gradually withdrawing towards its own ship.
The moon gradually turned eastward, and the Tang army could not hold on, and many people had fallen into the river one after another. As soon as the general gave the order, the rest of the men jumped into their boats and fled towards the Elephant Valley.
The subordinate asked Cao Bin: "My lord, are you still chasing?" ”
Cao Bin saw that the Tang army had collapsed, retreating inward like a group of lost dogs, and had already left Zhao Guangyi's words behind, and shouted: "Chase!" ”
At the sound of the order, the warships of the Song army were immediately lined up, turned their bows, and pursued fiercely in the direction of the Elephant Valley.
Elephant Valley is a canyon, on the west side of Runzhou, connected to Elephant Mountain, and the other side of Elephant Mountain is connected with Jiao Mountain in Runzhou City, if you can capture Elephant Valley, soldiers along the mountain, will soon be able to attack Runzhou City.
The river under the moon, sparkling with waves, no fog, very clear night, Cao Bin obviously looked at the front of the slightest obstacle, the boat also went smoothly, but just entered the elephant valley, but suddenly a few times around the direction, just now the Tang Army's boat in front of it seemed to suddenly disappear from the water.
In the entire Elephant Valley, only Cao Bin's ten warships came in one by one, and there were several waterways around, and Cao Bin suddenly couldn't tell where he came from. Cao Bin secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and immediately ordered to turn the bow of the ship and evacuate in the opposite direction quickly.
But it was too late, and more than two dozen warships suddenly poured out from all around, surrounding Cao Bin's sailors like turtles in an urn. If you want to run, there is no way back. Cao Bin's small warship was okay, and the big warship couldn't even turn its hull. Countless Tang troops flocked to the Song army like heavenly soldiers and generals.
Qi Zheng was standing at the top of the Elephant Valley Canyon, his white clothes were raised, and his eyebrows and eyes were gentle. The first time to read the "Three More Peach Blossom Drums" is free.
