Volume III Chapter 611

Hu Tianbao continued to go deep into the camp with more than a dozen sailors, he was familiar with the road, and he also knew very well where the camp was suitable for hiding a large number of ambushes, but he searched all the places suitable for hiding a large number of ambushes, but found nothing.

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh a long sigh, it seemed that his side was too careful, and the Jin army really didn't deploy defenses in the rear camp.

Thinking of this, he was about to turn around and go back to report the situation in the camp to Qualcomm, but suddenly, a short, low exclamation came from his oblique side.

Hu Tianbao's face changed suddenly, and he asked left and right, "What's the matter?"

The people who followed him were also at a loss, not knowing what was happening on the side.

"Let's take a look!" Hu Tianbao said hurriedly, and then, carrying the long sword, ran in the direction where the cry came from.

Rounding several tents, he came to a clearing.

At this time, there were more than a dozen red soldiers wearing water in the open space, Hu Tianbao was taken aback, walked quickly, looked down, none of these dozen red soldiers survived, the fatal injuries of the body were the same, all of them were cut throats, it can be seen that they had just been hit, and the limbs of several corpses were still twitching, but the strange thing was that there were no enemy soldiers around at all, as if the enemy appeared in front of them in an instant, and disappeared in an instant.

After reading it, Hu Tianbao's cold sweat also flowed out, what was going on? Where is the enemy? He was still pondering, and a series of muffled snorts came from behind him, and at the same time, Hu Tianbao, who was in a daze, also felt the fluctuations of the surrounding pressure.

He didn't even think about it, he immediately turned around, and when he looked back, the dozen or so men behind him had all fallen to the ground, exactly like the red soldiers who died earlier, and they were struck by the throat. It was cut by force, and between the corpses, there were still six underworld warriors in black armor, holding long knives of the same color in their hands, and blood beads slid along the blades, dripping from the tips of the knives to the ground.

It's a demonic martial artist! Hu Tianbao's heart trembled. He blurted out, "Who?"

"Someone who wants your life!" the voice came from behind him.

At that moment, Hu Tianbao felt that his scalp was numb, and his hair was about to stand up, and he subconsciously reacted and rolled on the spot, and went out directly.

The moment he rolled away, he also clearly felt a cold wind blowing through his body, and when he stabilized his body, he looked up. It turned out that there was a person standing behind him at some point, the same demon warrior with black armor, holding a strange and terrifying halberd in his hand.

The demon warrior used a war halberd, and the first person Hu Tianbao thought of was Lin Haotian, the commander of the Jin Army.

It turned out that Lin Haotian was also in the camp! Thinking about this, Hu Tianbao was surprised and delighted.

Now, he also understood that there was no large number of ambushes in the camp at all. Some are just demonic warriors who are playing tricks, if their own army can attack the camp now. Not only can you recapture the camp, but you can also capture Lin Haotian and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

He immediately took off the bow and arrow from his back, and wanted to shoot a rattle-tailed arrow to report to his own fleet and lead the army into the camp, but he had just put the rattle-tailed arrow on the bow. Before the bowstring was opened, Lin Haotian had already rushed forward with a halberd, and it was a heavy halberd that split Huashan.

Seeing that this halberd was sinking strongly, Hu Tianbao didn't dare to take it hard, so he could only continue to roll on the spot. Kankan dodged away, but before he could stand up from the ground, Lin Haotian's second halberd swept over again.

Hu Tianbao secretly said so fast, he slammed onto the ground, and the whole person flew backwards.

He was fast, but not as fast as Lin Haotian's Feng Ling, who disappeared out of thin air in front of him, and when he reappeared, he had already appeared behind him, and the war halberd in his hand stabbed forward.

Hearing that the evil wind behind him was not good, Hu Tianbao's reaction was fast enough, and he immediately fell down and narrowly avoided this blow, but he forgot that Lin Haotian used a war halberd, and the damage when he stabbed out was not great, and the real killing move was the blow that was withdrawn.

By the time he straightened his waist and realized this, it was too late to dodge.

When Lin Haotian recovered the halberd, the edge of the halberd happened to cut back into Hu Tianbao's lower abdomen, and he heard a flutter in the ear chakra, and Hu Tianbao seemed to have been cut in half, and was cut into two pieces.

Poor Hu Tianbao didn't even scream, he died on the spot, the two corpses were separated for a long time, scarlet blood and red and white internal organs flowed all over the ground.

Their side was just the tip of the iceberg, and the situation of the other red soldiers who entered the camp was not much better. After the 500 Chiguo naval army led by Hu Tianbao entered the camp, it was really as if a stone had sunk into the sea, and there was no return, and there was no news at all.

Gao Tong and others, who were standing on the ship waiting for news, waited left and left and did not see a reply, and they were all anxious.

After waiting for almost half an hour, there was still no sound in the camp, and there was no brother who went in to report back, and the red general was really impatient to wait, and stepped to the front of Gao Tong, and intervened and said: "General, General Hu has been there for a long time, if there is an ambush, it should have been fought a long time ago, it shouldn't be as silent as now, the last general wants to bring some brothers in to see what is going on!"

When Qualcomm heard this, he smiled, but he smiled bitterly, and said: "You also said that Tianbao has been in for a long time, and he should have reported the situation a long time ago, but he didn't come out now, what do you say will happen?"

"Could it be ......" Hearing Qualcomm's reminder, the red general's face suddenly changed, and he stammered: "Could it be that General Hu has also ......" He didn't dare to finish the rest of the words.

"In the enemy camp, there must be deception, if the general expected to be good, Tianbao is already ...... There is less bad luck. Qualcomm narrowed his eyes and looked at the camp in front of him, and sighed faintly in his heart.

It can make the five hundred brothers disappear silently, and not even the slightest sound of fighting can be heard, and the ambush of the enemy army in the rear camp can be seen, and it is right that the main army of his own side did not enter rashly, but it is a pity that Tianbao and the lives of the five hundred brothers are lost.

At this time, when people look at the Jiankang Water Division Camp, they no longer feel weird, but feel terrifying. In their eyes, the quiet camp seemed to turn into a giant beast, and the wide open camp gate was like the blood basin of the giant beast's mouth, and walking in it was equivalent to walking into hell.

Qualcomm looked at the people around him, and seeing that people's faces were getting uglier than the other, he secretly shook his head. The battle could no longer continue.

He took a deep breath and said weakly: "Wait, if after another moment, Tianbao and his brothers still don't come out, our army will ...... Stop the troops for now!"

At this time, Qualcomm no longer had any hope for the survival of Hu Tianbao and others, so he had to wait. It's just hoping for a miracle.

It's a pity that miracles don't happen often, Hu Tianbao and the 500 sailors never returned from the camp, and in the end, Qualcomm had no choice but to give the order to retreat and give up attacking the camp.

Lin Haotian successfully scared away Qualcomm with an empty city, which is also conditional.

First of all, Qualcomm had a preconceived concept of the strength of the Jin Army, which was learned from the mouths of the eighth and ninth corps commanders. The strength of the Jin army is 100,000, so many troops, and the Jin army, which is known for its courage and good fighting, should be more than enough to resist the 200,000 central army commanded by Yin Liang, and there is definitely still spare strength to set up an ambush in the rear camp. Secondly, the fact that Hu Tianbao and the five hundred red soldiers have gone and not returned is too weird, so weird that it is chilling, and it also makes people lose the desire to fight again.

These two points are the reasons why Qualcomm decisively gave up the strong attack.

Qualcomm retreated. So that the Jin army has no worries, and can deal with the main force of the Red Army in front wholeheartedly. But in the same way, Qualcomm's withdrawal also made Yin Liang even less confident.

Qualcomm's reply to Yin Liang was that the Jin army had an ambush in the rear camp, and it was difficult for him to command the naval army to attack it, and Yin Liang understood from his reply that the Jin army still had a large number of troops in the camp to mobilize, and he did not use all his strength to resist his own side. If you continue to fight, it will only increase your own casualties, and there is no possibility of breaking through the camp.

Since he could not break through the camp with his current strength, was there still any need for him to continue fighting? Not long after Qualcomm withdrew his troops, Yin Liang also gave up the idea of attacking strongly. The whole army was ordered to stop the offensive and all retreat.

Qualcomm's plan to choose to withdraw from the army seems to be just a decision-making choice for a local battle, but in fact, it affects the pattern and progress of the entire war, and also gives the more than 30,000 golden troops led by Lin Haotian a chance to breathe.

If Yin Liang can really make up his mind and resolutely not retreat, and choose to fight to the death with the Jin army, then no matter how strong the camp defense of the Jiankang Navy Division is, it will be too difficult to resist 200,000 with 30,000.

The successive retreats of Qualcomm and Yin Liang made the Jin army, which was struggling to support, breathe a sigh of relief, and the next battle loss statistics made Lin Haotian and his generals unhappy with the temporary victory in front of them.

After a battle, the Red Army suffered heavy casualties, but the Jin Army also paid a heavy price, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the wounded soldiers counted here are only the seriously wounded who cannot fight again in a short time, if the minor injuries are also counted, then the casualties of the Jin Army will be more than half.

Now, the Jin army's combatable troops have been sharply reduced to about 20,000, whether they can withstand the next round of the Red Army's strong attack, no one dares to guarantee, now people's only hope is pinned on their own naval army, the key to this victory is also whether the Jin naval army can send the backup troops through Jiankang in time.

Sun Bing and Xu Yan, the commanders of the Jin State Naval Army, had already received Lin Haotian's order, asking the two of them to transport the backup across the river within two days no matter what, and they were helpless about this.

At this time, the Jin army had more than 100 ships, most of which were small and medium-sized ships, and there were also some large ships of the Red Army, while the ships of the Red Army had 180 large ships, all of which were large ships, and the overall combat strength of the two sides was not at the same level at all. Under normal circumstances, it is already difficult to be sure of winning a water war, and now it is necessary to transport infantry, and in the case of loading a large number of infantry, the mobility and flexibility of the ships will be greatly weakened.

Sun Bing and Xu Yan didn't think that now was a good time to start a decisive battle with the Red Kingdom Naval Army, but the adults couldn't disobey their orders, so they really had no choice but to ask Ding Feng and Wang Han to discuss and ask them how to fight this battle.

Ding Feng and Wang Han are not generals of the navy, but they are the top-level commanders, and the principles of land warfare and water warfare are the same, Sun Bing and Xu Yan feel that it is never wrong to ask them for advice.

When they met, Sun Bing and Xu Yan bowed respectfully to the two of them, and then took out the documents sent by Lin Haotian and handed them to Ding Feng and Wang Han for a look, and at the same time, the two analyzed the current situation and explained all kinds of difficulties on their side.

Listening to the two of them finish saying a word, Ding Feng sneered, with a sense of mockery, and he said, "This handsome thinks." You two must fight. ”

Sun Bing and Xu Yan swallowed their saliva, glanced at each other, and then said to Ding Feng: "Ding Shuai, go to war now, but there is a danger of annihilation of the whole army!"

Ding Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Your Excellency's will has been made very clear. Disobedience and disobedience is a capital crime! Going to war is death, not fighting is death, anyway, it is better to die vigorously on the battlefield, at least there will be a place for two people in the Hall of Martyrs. ”

His words made Sun Bing and Xu Yan's hearts cold, it was true to say so, but if they could survive, who would want to die! Even if you leave a reputation for serving the country loyally, what's the use?

The identity and status of the two of them are very different from Ding Feng, so naturally they don't dare to blame Ding Feng, their eyes turned, and they looked at Wang Han in unison, and asked, "General Wang Han has a good plan?"

Wang Han also smiled, first looked at Ding Feng, and then said slowly: "I also agree with General Ding's statement. Now the two generals must follow the king's will and go out of camp to fight the enemy. ”

"But......" Sun and Xu were about to speak. Wang Han said: "If the two generals feel that it is in the way of bringing infantry brothers, they can also not bring them, and first fight with the enemy, as long as they can defeat the enemy army, and then transport the infantry brothers across the river There will be no obstacles." ”

"Hehe......" Sun Bing and Xu Yan smiled dryly. But in my heart, I was muttering, you said it so lightly, as if we could defeat the Red Naval Army as soon as we went into battle, there are nearly 200 ships on our side, and there are only 100 on our side. They are all large ships, and our side are all small and medium-sized ships, how can we win the war, how can we defeat the Red Navy?

The two of them were smiling, but their faces were as pale as paper, which made people uncomfortable and awkward to watch.

Ding Feng got up and said: "Okay, you two can choose to fight in the middle of the night tomorrow, and take advantage of the night to sneak attack the Red Country Naval Army, the enemy is strong and I am weak, the Red Country Naval Army will not be prepared for our sneak attack, as long as the two of you move fast enough, you will be able to kill the enemy by surprise." ”

Without waiting for them to reply, Ding Feng had already walked out, and before leaving the camp, he turned around and added: "Ben Shuai blessed you two to succeed!"

Seeing that Ding Feng was gone, Wang Han also stood up and said, "Two generals, what General Ding said is very true, the two of you should prepare well, and you will also leave below." After saying that, he also left, leaving Sun Bing and Xu Yan who were sitting there in a daze.

Ding Feng left first, but when he got out of the camp, he didn't have a horse to leave, as if he knew that Wang Han would follow him. The latter walked out of the camp tent and was not surprised at all when he saw Ding Feng standing aside, and walked forward and walked side by side with Ding Feng.

On the way, Wang Han asked with a smile: "General Ding must have thought of a countermeasure!"

Ding Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "General Wang Han will talk about it." ”

"Under the guise of the two generals Sun and Xu, they smuggled into Linzhuang again. Wang Han said with an understated smile.

Ding Feng's face obviously flashed with a hint of surprise, but soon returned to normal, his face finally showed a smile, and muttered: "It turns out that General Wang Han also thought of ......"

Ding Feng and Wang Han coincided, using Sun Bing and Xu Yan to take the lead to attract the attention of the Red State Navy, and then they came to smuggle into Linzhuang again.

Last time, they used a trick to attract Qualcomm to Linzhuang, but the smuggling was fake, and the sneak attack on the Jiankang Navy Division camp was real, which caused the Red Army to suffer a big loss, and also allowed the Jin Army to successfully land on the south bank of Jiankang. As the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, the second is fake smuggling, and this time there is a real smuggling, which is false and real, which is impossible to guard against, and it will definitely exceed the expectations of the Red Army.

This plan was not something that Ding Feng thought of temporarily, but when he pretended to smuggle into Lin Zhuang for the first time, he had such a strategy in his heart, but he never talked about it to others.

After the Jin army succeeded in the sneak attack on the camp of the Jiankang Water Division, the Jin army and the Xinchi coalition army, which were originally transferred to the other side of Linzhuang, all withdrew to the camp, but the main force of the First Army under the command of Ding Feng did not move, and continued to hide on the other side of Linzhuang, and was still secretly building a raft.

Others may not have noticed it, but Wang Han discovered it carefully, and through the actions of the First Legion, he also guessed the ghost idea in Ding Feng's stomach.

At this time, Wang Han no longer had any worries, and asked bluntly: "The smuggling of Linzhuang this time, our army's raft has lost a lot, can it be enough for this smuggling?"

Ding Feng smiled confidently and said, "I have already ordered the soldiers to hurry up and build it, and I dare not say that by tomorrow night, there should be two thousand rafts available." ”

Wang Han nodded, although two thousand rafts are not much, they should be enough to transport only the First Legion. He asked, "Is General Ding going to act alone this time?"

Ding Feng said helplessly: "The Red Army has many eyeliners on the north bank, if our side launches a large-scale operation, it will definitely not be able to hide the Red Army's eyeline, rather than letting the whole army take risks, it is better for my First Army to do it alone." ”

Wang Han nodded again, feeling that Ding Feng's concerns were still very right, he asked with a smile: "If you count me as one, I don't know what General Ding thinks?"

After a pause, he added: "Although the Jin army I brought this time only has 20,000 brothers, if it really wants to fight, it will not drag General Ding back. ”

Ding Feng said with a smile: "If General Wang Han helps me, it will naturally be the best." "Among the many commanders of the Jin Kingdom, in addition to Bi Wu and Lu Kai, I am afraid that only Wang Han can really make Ding Feng look at him.

With Ding Feng's approval, Wang Han was also very happy and said, "Okay, you and I will make up our minds." ”

"Although there are few brothers in our army, General Wang Han must not be careless, and must go out of the camp secretly to avoid people's eyes. Ding Feng reminded uneasily.

"I understand this, General Ding doesn't have to worry!" Wang Han smiled and nodded in agreement.

Seeing the bright smile on Wang Han's face, even Ding Feng was a little stunned, stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly, a man, but he looks so beautiful, it is really a sin...... (To be continued......)
