Of course, Lin Haotian couldn't accept such a statement, and did not do too much interrogation, and directly pushed He Yi to the end on the charge of dereliction of duty, and escorted him back to Wancheng, where he was handed over to the Military and Political Hall, and the two deputy generals Sun Bing and Xu Yan took over He Yi's position.

In the case of He Yi's big mistake, these two wooden people from orthodox naval army generals finally became daughters-in-law, replaced He Yi's position, and became the second chief general of the Jin State Naval Army.

No matter what Sun Bing and Xu Yan are, in terms of water warfare, they are indeed much better than He Yi.

Now that the ships of the Jin Kingdom are seriously damaged, Sun Xu and the others proposed to Lin Haotian that they should immediately mobilize the craftsmen of Mudi to rush over and build the ships on the north shore of Jiankang.

Lin Haotian felt that what Sun Bing and Xu Yan said was extremely true, and while he requisitioned the ship craftsmen in the wood land according to the proposal of the two, he also ordered his subordinates to recruit people on the spot and hire local craftsmen in the Chi Kingdom with a lot of money.

I don't know if it's too late to make amends, and Lin Haotian can only do his best and obey the destiny of heaven. On the other side, Shao Lin followed Lin Haotian's will and took people to Yingjiang Town and brought the old mayor and all his family back to the barracks.

The mayor of Yingjiang Town, Zhilu Dao, was brought back, and the anger in Lin Haotian's heart that had not completely subsided rose again, and he said in a deep voice: "Take him to the Zhongjun tent to see me!"

The old mayor was escorted by the Jin army to the tent of the Chinese army, and when he arrived, Lin Haotian was sharpening his knife with leather sand, and the steel knife curved like a crescent moon was shining with cold light, piercing people's eyes.

At this time, the old mayor didn't know what was going on, and the whole person trembled, and after coming in, the old man didn't dare to look at what people were in the big tent, and he fell to his knees at once. Repeatedly kowtowed: "The villain sees the adult......"

"Do you still know me?" Lin Haotian glanced at him and continued to sharpen the blade with Pisha.

Hearing his words, the old mayor felt very familiar, looked up, and was immediately shocked.

A few days ago, Lin Haotian was wearing casual clothes. Now he has changed into a gorgeous brocade embroidered belt, as the so-called people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, Lin Haotian at this time has less softness, but a little more cold and aggressive.

The old town was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Engong?"

"Don't dare to be!" Lin Haotian sneered and said: "Ben Shuai's name is Lin Haotian, you can call Ben Shuai General Lin, and you can also call him by his name." But don't call Ben Shuai Engong anymore. He put down Pisa, pulled out his handkerchief, and gently wiped the knife.

Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army, Lin Haotian, the old town's head buzzed, and he could hardly believe his ears, the young man who saved his daughter in the first place turned out to be Lin Haotian, the general of Lin!

He knelt on the ground dumbfounded, staring at Lin Haotian blankly, and did not move for a long time.

Ignoring his reaction after learning his true identity, Lin Haotian's gaze still fell on his scimitar. said softly: "You are so bold that you dare to collude with the Red Army on the other side. Deceived Ben Shuai, do you know that this is a capital crime for the Nine Clans?"

The old town shivered, and suddenly came back to his senses, and he stammered and asked, "No...... I don't know why General Lin said this!"

"Bang!"

The scimitar in Lin Haotian's hand slammed on the table, his eyes flashed with fierce light and looked directly at the old mayor, and said in a cruel voice: "You still dare to pretend to be confused with Ben Shuai?" just now. When Ben Shuai's army crossed the river from Backwater Bay, it was plotted by the Red Army, and 5,000 soldiers were left defenseless, and this alone will not be enough for Ben Shuai to cut off even if you have a hundred heads!"

The old town finally understood what was happening. His body was paralyzed to the ground, and he shouted repeatedly: "Wronged, villain wronged, villain dares to swear to the sky, he never knows that there is an ambush in the backwater bay of Langdao, otherwise the villain will not dare to recommend the backwater bay to General Lin even if he has the courage to do so, General Lin will be clear, and I hope that General Lin will be clear!"

"I don't know if there is an ambush in the road?" Lin Hao smiled and said: "In the south of the backwater bay, the river is full of spikes, and it is difficult for the boats to get close at all.

"This ......" The old mayor was also dumbfounded, what was the situation on the south side of the backwater bay, he didn't know, after all, the person who went out to fish was not him, but some brave fishermen, he just learned through the fishermen that there was no Red Army guard in the area of the backwater bay, and it was safe to go out of the boat, as for the spikes arranged under the river in the south, he didn't know at all.

But now that I want to explain this, I can't explain it clearly, and the old mayor is so anxious that he is sweating, and he can only shout injustice.

The more he shouted injustice, the more angry Lin Haotian became, without warning, the latter suddenly grabbed the scimitar on the table, waved his hand, and the scimitar slashed into a flash of lightning, shooting straight towards the old mayor.

The old mayor didn't even react before he was struck in the chest by the throwing knife, and the ear chakra heard a plop, and the blade thrust from his front and poked out from behind him.

As Lin Haotian threw out the flying knife, the others also flashed in front of the old mayor, shot like lightning, quickly pulled out the Xuantie Halberd, and then waved it sideways.

"Click!"

The old mayor's head fell, but no blood spurted out, and a billowing mist rose from his body.

Lin Haotian sucked up the dark qi floating in the air, and shouted to the left and right in anger: "Behead all the men in this thief's family, and hand over the female dependents to the Iron Lion Army." ”

"Yes!" the guards on the left and right hurriedly agreed, and quickly ran out of the city, and then, another guard walked in and dragged the old mayor's body out of the city.

A halberd slashed the old mayor, Lin Haotian put away the halberd and sat back on the mat, and only then did he calm down and search for the specific details of his affair with the Red Army on the south bank from the old mayor's soul.

But what Lin Haotian didn't expect was that since the Red Army withdrew to the south of Jiankang, the old town mayor had never had any contact with the Red Army, and as for the spikes arranged under the Backwater Bay River, the old town really didn't know about it.

Could it be that he killed him by mistake? Lin Haotian frowned secretly, if it weren't for the collusion between the old mayor and the Red Army, then how could the Red Army set up an ambush in Backwater Bay? Could it be that the Red Army had already set up a plan for a long time? This seems to be the only explanation that can be explained.

After some careful analysis, Lin Haotian could probably confirm that the Red Army must have felt that the area around Backwater Bay was not easy to deploy, so they simply abandoned it, but in order to prevent their own side from smuggling across the river from Backwater Bay, they arranged spikes under the river there early. Thus. The new commander of the Red Army, Gao Tong, is much more clever and cunning than he imagined, and his deployment on the south bank can really be said to be leaky.

Knowing that he blamed the old mayor for the wrong thing, Lin Haotian did not recover his life, so he could only make a mistake, and still executed all the men in the old mayor's family, and the female dependents were rewarded to the soldiers of the Iron Lion Army.

If the truth is revealed. First, it will damage the prestige of his commander, and second, let the soldiers know that there is such a powerful commander on the other side of the road, which will also deal a certain blow to their morale, and they are afraid that it will cause cowardice and panic.

Lin Haotian can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from himself, how to defeat the new commander of the Red Country, Qualcomm, he also has a headache.

After the defeat in the first battle of the Jin army and the new Red coalition army, there was a gap of five days. Song Hao, the king of the new red army, arrived at the camp of the Jin army and the new red coalition army, and Song Hao was accompanied by 100,000 central troops of the new red kingdom and 20,000 Jin troops led by Wang Han.

Wang Han came with Song Hao, which made Lin Haotian a little surprised, and he didn't know it in advance.

Wang Han's reason is very simple, just to protect Song Hao's safety, and he is originally from the aristocracy of the Red Kingdom, and he is also familiar with the environment of the Red Kingdom, and he may be able to help him on the battlefield.

Of course. That's what he says on the surface, actually. No matter what the reason for him defected to the Red Country, but he is still a Red Man after all, and now is the time for the life and death of the Red Country, even if he does not have the ability to turn the tide, he also hopes that he can do his part to save as many Red People's lives as possible.

Lin Haotian was still very happy about Wang Han's arrival. In terms of commanding troops and fighting wars, Wang Han is definitely one of the best talents.

Wang Han and Gao Tong also know each other, both of them were born in a family of generals, although one is in Jiankang and the other is in the East China Sea. It's not very familiar, but I've had some dealings.

In Wang Han's eyes, Qualcomm's ability to fight in water is outstanding, but he also has weaknesses, that is, he is young and vigorous, self-serving, and it is difficult to listen to other people's opinions.

For Lin Haotian, it is no longer meaningful to understand Qualcomm's character and weaknesses, the most critical problem is that his own ships are seriously damaged, and he has lost the strength of a frontal battle, and it seems unlikely that he wants to smuggle from other places, and the current war has fallen into a dilemma.

At present, Wang Han has no good solution, so he can only rush to build a ship as soon as possible, and strive to fight Jiankang before the East China Sea army arrives.

It is not so easy to build a ship, even if the craftsmen and workers are complete, it will take a lot of time, and it is clear that the most lacking thing on the part of the Jin army and the new Red coalition army is time.

Just when the Jin Army and the New Red Coalition Army led by Lin Haotian and Song Hao were unable to deal with the war, the war suddenly took a turn for the better.

An Iron Lion sergeant who had gone missing after smuggling into the water at Backwater Bay suddenly returned to the coalition camp with an extremely important piece of information.

Luckily, he was knocked unconscious by a log after falling into the water, and by the time he regained his senses, he was rescued by a fisherman downstream of Jiankang.

The small fishing village where the fishermen are located is more than 100 miles away from the Chidu Jiankang, probably far away from the main battlefield of the capital, and the Red Army's defense there is also very lax, only setting up a beacon-style outpost, and the interesting thing is that the fisherman who rescued him not only did not hand him over to the Red Army, but also let him go, and instructed him how to return to the north shore.

The small fishing village is already a plain area, the river level is gentle, and the distance between the two banks is very short, as long as the water is a little better, even if you don't take a boat or raft, you can swim to the opposite side with only an airbag, and this special soldier used his airbag to swim back to the north shore quietly in the middle of the night.

This information was too important for the current Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army, and it also gave the disheartened Lin Haotian another glimmer of hope, and he immediately sent a spy from his own army to let the You soldier lead the way to the place where he swam back to the north shore to investigate, to see if it was really as he said.

When the Jin Army spies went to investigate, Chu Chen bluntly pointed out to Lin Haotian that the words of this Iron Lion sergeant might not be credible.

Of course, as the commander of the Iron Lion Army, it is impossible for him to know every soldier under him, but he has also sent someone to inquire carefully, and he can be sure. The soldier who escaped back was indeed a member of the Iron Lion Army, and he also believed that his brothers would not be bribed by the Red People, but this did not mean that the information he provided was definitely accurate, and there were too many doubts about this matter.

For ordinary Chi people, the Jin army was an invader. No matter how simple and kind the fishermen in the small fishing village are, it is impossible for them to rescue the soldiers of the enemy country, and even if there is such a fool who can't bear not to save a person whose life is in danger, it is impossible for him to be so ignorant as to let people go after rescuing them, and tell the enemy how to smuggle them back to the other side.

Chu Chen's words were not unreasonable, but Lin Haotian felt that this matter might not be completely impossible. Maybe the fisherman had been bullied by the magnates of the Red Kingdom and wanted to take revenge.

After hearing his thoughts, Chu Chen smiled, shook his head and said, "This possibility is really very small. ”

The reason why Lin Haotian believed that this was true was because he was willing to believe it in his heart, or that he really wanted to survive Jiankang and wanted to have wings on his back. He took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Wang Han on the other side. He asked, "What does Wang Han think?"

Wang Han smiled indifferently and said, "Let's wait for our army's brothers to bring back accurate information!"

Lin Haotian knocked lightly on the table. In the end, he didn't ask any more questions, he stood up, waved his hand, and said, "Everyone go back and rest first, and discuss everything after General Shao returns." ”

The generals got up one after another to say goodbye, the last of all. Only Lin Haotian, Song Hao and Wang Han, who did not leave, were left in the big tent.

Seeing that Song Hao was staring at him, Lin Haotian asked angrily and funny: "Brother Song, is it possible that my face has flowers?"

"I haven't seen you for many days, and Brother Lin Xian seems to be a lot haggard. ”

This is true, and the war is not good. Lin Haotian was also restless, and he smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's too much pressure." ”

"Pressure?" Song Hao said: "Brother Xian's army has already reached Jiankang, what pressure is there at all?"

Lin Haotian said: "Although we hit Jiankang, we can't cross the river, and the war is not good for us. After a pause, he said quietly: "The longer the war drags on, the more variables there are. ”

Song Hao frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Lin Xian thinks that the Red Kingdom still has the strength to turn defeat into victory?"

"Before the other party is killed, everything is possible!" Lin Haotian said: "Although the Red Country has suffered defeats, but the national strength should be, and if the war drags on for a long time, it is equivalent to giving the Red Country time to recuperate, so that the side that is most defeated after the war is not necessarily who is." ”

Song Hao fought a cold war, and now he finally understood why the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army had already fought straight to Jiankang Kelin Haotian was still under great pressure, and he muttered: "It seems that we really have to get through Jiankang as soon as possible." ”

Wang Hanle was relieved and said: "The pressure on our side is great, but the pressure on Jiankang is even greater, Shi Huai used Qualcomm to block our army north of Jiankang, but after all, our army has millions of people, how long can Qualcomm defend, or how long can it last, Shi Huai actually has no bottom in his heart." ”

Lin Haotian sighed: "Now I hope that the Yan army can be more aggressive and attack Jiankang City one step ahead of our army." ”

Of course, this is also unlikely, although the Yan army entered the territory of the Red Kingdom, but within three days, the Huwei army that went south to meet the enemy suddenly attacked the Yan army, you must know that the two armies are thousands of miles apart, the speed of the Huwei army is staggering, and its combat power is also invincible.

After being attacked by the Huwei army, the Yan army had also stopped the momentum of going deep into the red realm and began to rest in place, if Lin Hao naively expected An Yanjun to break through Jiankang City, it would be far away.

The next day, in the afternoon.

Shao Lin returned to the barracks, he brought back the news and the same as the You soldier, the latter swam back to the north bank of the place, the river is indeed very narrow, the water flow is also slow, the opposite fishing village is called Linzhuang, just a small village with a population of less than 100, in addition, the Red Army's outpost is not far from Linzhuang, it is located on the riverside, there are three zhang high, there are Red soldiers patrolling and sentry, with the position and height of the sentry post, as long as there is a slight wind and grass on the river, it will be detected by the Red soldiers, and they will light the beacon fire as soon as possible. Of course, in the middle of the night, as long as the sky is dark enough, the warriors who have good water on their side can also use the night as a cover to sneak to the other side, kill all the red soldiers and guards in the outpost, control the villagers of Linzhuang, and then quickly cross the river.

After listening to Shao Lin's introduction, Lin Haotian's heart came alive again, but this time he didn't insist strongly, but first asked the generals what they meant.

Everyone said everything, Guan He thought that this was an opportunity, and he should not miss it, Chu Chen still insisted on his opinion, feeling that things were strange and not easy to act rashly.

The public said that the public was reasonable, the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, Lin Haotian was also in a dilemma, and his eyes fell on the silent Wang Han at the end, and his heart moved, and asked, "Why didn't Wang Han say anything?"

Hearing Lin Haotian ask his head, Wang Han, who had been silent, spoke: "The last general thinks that what General Chu said is extremely true, our soldiers were rescued by the fishermen of the Red Country, and they were able to escape safe and sound from under the noses of the Red Army, which is really incredible. ”

Chu Chen said this, Wang Han also said so, Lin Haotian's brows slowly furrowed, and he asked rhetorically: "In this way, our army can't cross the river from Lin Zhuang?"

"Not really!" replied Wang Han.

Lin Haotian looked at him puzzled, Wang Han said that something was strange for a while, and said that he could cross the river for a while, Lin Haotian was confused by his words, he raised his head and said, "Tell me in detail." ”

Wang Han Zhengse said: "If the last general's prediction is correct, this should be a trick by Qualcomm, and its purpose is to lead our army to cross the river from Linzhuang. In the area of Linzhuang, the last general has also been there, where it is all plains, the most suitable for cavalry combat, and when our army wants to cross the river, the heavy cavalry can not pass, can only let the infantry pass first, adults can think about it, our infantry first crossed the river and went ashore, in the case that the materials are on the north bank, the formation is chaotic and there is no way to retreat, once the red cavalry suddenly kills, will not be killed by the whole army? Even if the Red Tiger Army had already moved south, the cavalry in its capital should not be less than 100,000, but 100,000 cavalry would be enough to kill and wound 200,000 or more infantry. ”

Listening to Wang Han's analysis, Lin Haotian gasped. (To be continued......)
