The Red Army Battalion.

Soon after the general Yin Liang collected his troops, the people sent by Shi Huai arrived, Tian Zhong, the court captain, and Zhang Rong, the Taifu who came with him.

Shi Huai originally didn't plan to send Zhang Rong over, but the latter took the initiative to ask for help, and the battle ahead was unfavorable, Shi Huai was quite dissatisfied, so he agreed to let Zhang Rong come over to supervise the battle.

Tian Zhong came with Shi Huai's will, and after seeing Yin Liang, he asked Yin Liang why he was cowardly and why he suddenly stopped attacking. Tingwei is an official in charge of punishment, as the chief of a country, Tian Zhong is usually strong-tempered, taciturn, no matter who he is, his face is full of seriousness.

Although Yin Liang's grade is higher than Tian Zhong's, he is also afraid of him. At this time, he was speechless when he was questioned by Tian Zhong, and when he was thinking about what kind of words to find to deal with it, the latter took out Shi Huai's will and read it out on the spot, asking Yin Liang to attack immediately, and be sure to recapture the Jiankang Navy Battalion before tomorrow morning, regardless of the price.

After reading Shi Huai's will, Tian Zhong brushed his sleeves away, and Yin Liangke was dumbfounded.

If he could have been defeated, he would have commanded the army to recapture the camp of the Jiankang Naval Division, but the key is that he could not defeat it! The 200,000 soldiers attacked for a whole afternoon, and they could not even step into the camp, but instead lost more than 30,000 soldiers. Now, the number of troops is far less than 200,000, and the soldiers are also sleepy and lacking in horses, and if we attack the camp of the Jiankang Naval Division, we will defeat it before tomorrow morning, is that possible? Isn't the king going to kill himself?

Yin Liang was stunned in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and the generals below looked at each other, all frowning, worried.

Yin Liang's failure to report confidence in this battle was that the generals also lacked fighting spirit, and Shi Huai's current promulgation of such a decree would only cause people's helplessness and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Zhang Rong, who did not leave, rolled his eyes. He waved his hand to the generals and motioned for them to exit first.

Zhang Rong is a Taifu, a first-class officer, even if he is not the director of the army, the generals dare not offend, and people give their hands one after another. Uzuni withdrew from the camp.

After everyone left, Zhang Rong walked up to Yin Liang and asked in a low voice: "General, the king has already issued an order to ask the general to attack the enemy immediately, what are you doing here now?"

Yin Liang finally came back to his senses, he looked at Zhang Rong with strange eyes, and said coldly: "What's the matter? Lord Zhang was sent by the king to oversee the army and spy on me?"

Zhang Rong smiled. He said: "You and I have been in the same palace for nearly 20 years, how can you not know what I am to be? Don't say that I am not sent by the king to spy on the general, even if there is any fault of the general, can I still secretly go to the king to complain?"

Hearing him say this, Yin Liang relieved himself, laughed embarrassedly, and patted his head. Shaking his head, he said, "Now I'm really confused." ”

Zhang Rong pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Could it be that the general has any difficulties?"

Yin Liang smiled bitterly and said: "It's easy to lose it, it's hard to recapture it! How can the current Jiankang Navy Division battalion be so easy to defeat? There are no less than 100,000 Jin troops inside, and our soldiers are less than 200,000. What's more, the Jiankang Water Division Battalion is the gateway to the capital, and it is built extremely strongly, only relying on the current strength, if you insist on attacking, I am afraid that there is a risk of annihilation of the whole army!"

Zhang Rong also gasped after hearing this, it turned out that the Jin army had already crossed the river with so many troops. He asked, "What is the general going to do?" Disobey the order, but it will be a capital crime to lose his head!"

"Alas!" Yin Liang sighed and said, "I can't help it now, following the king's orders, it is difficult for the soldiers of the whole army to save their lives." If I don't obey the king's orders, I will resist the order, Lord Zhang, what do you think I should do?"

Zhang Rong muttered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The general has no idea now, how can I think of any good plan? However, the king's will cannot be disobeyed, even if the general does not want to attack, it is still necessary to be pretentious. ”

Yin Liang pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Lord Zhang reminded me very much......! This is to lead the army into battle!"

Because of the will of charity, even if Yin Liang was unwilling to fight this battle, he had to fight hard in the end.

He didn't want to fight, and the Jin army on the opposite side didn't want to fight, and the Jin army finally looked forward to the retreat of the Red Army, but as a result, the soldiers just sat down to take a breath, and their buttocks were not yet hot, and the second round of the Red Army's attack came.

The soldiers of the Iron Lion Army could only fight their spirits, go to the wall again, and make a posture of stubborn defense.

People thought that what would happen next was another vicious battle of life and death, but what was surprising was that the Red Army's attack was thunderous and rainy, the war drums were beating loudly, and the soldiers were shouting and killing stronger than one wave, but the battle formation was slow to move forward.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the Red Army, Chu Chen, who is so experienced, is also a monk who is the second zhang at this time, he walked up to Lin Haotian, and while looking at the outside, he frowned and said, "My lord, the Red Army's behavior is a little abnormal!"

Lin Haotian didn't know more than Chu Chen, he narrowed his eyes and muttered, "Fool me!"

Chu Chen pondered for a moment, then turned around and called over a partial general, asking him to go to the rear camp immediately to see if the enemy was going to sneak attack from the back of the camp again.

You can't blame Chu Chen for being careful, the Red Army thundered and didn't rain in front of the camp, and there was indeed a suspicion of attacking the west, for the sake of caution, Chu Chen still sent his henchmen to the back of the camp to check it out.

Lin Haotian nodded secretly, Chu Chen is worthy of being handsome, he is cautious in case of trouble, and he is also comprehensive in his thinking, it is really not easy for the enemy to take advantage of him.

Soon, the partial general sent out returned, bringing back the news that the wind was calm behind the camp, and the enemy ships could not be seen, let alone the enemy's sneak attack behind the camp.

After Chu Chen heard this, he burst out laughing and laughed at himself: "It seems that I overestimated Yin Liang's mind. ”

The Jin army did not play the military flag, only the national flag, Yin Liang didn't know which regiment of the Jin country they were, but the direction of the Red Army played the banner of a general, so there is no need to check, its commander must be Yin Liang.

However, they are already close to the capital of the Red Kingdom, and at such a critical moment, the Red Army led by Yin Liang is putting on a posture of feint attack like child's play, which is too unbelievable and too incomprehensible.

Lin Haotian and Chu Chen couldn't figure out what Yin Liang was doing, but the other party didn't come to attack, and was willing to give them time to rest. After all, it is a good thing, and the Jin army is also happy.

There was nothing to say during the day, and the Red Army lined up in front of the camp of the Jiankang Water Division for an afternoon, and did not launch a decent offensive. The battlefield was completely quiet.

The second half of the night.

The Jin State Navy began to act, and now, Sun Bing, Xu Yan, and Yin Liang are facing similar situations, they all intend to be unwilling to fight, and they all have received the will of their own sons and have to fight.

Sun Bing and Xu Yan were determined to die this time, and led the Jin State Navy to carefully march out of the camp and go to the Jiankang Navy Camp opposite.

Ding Feng meant to let them take the initiative to sneak attack the Red Country Naval Army, and take the enemy by surprise and surprise. But the two of them discussed it in private, and felt that it was better not to take the initiative to sneak attack, in case people were on guard, wouldn't they go to the net?

The two of them decided to go to the Jiankang Navy Battalion on the opposite bank to make a test first, if the Red Naval Army was really defenseless and let them reach the other shore smoothly, it would naturally be the best, and they could take advantage of this opportunity. Deliver your troops and supplies to the other side and complete the instructions given by your lordship.

Late at night.

Fine. The night sky is cloudless, starry and the moon hangs high.

Sun and Xu quietly left the camp of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance with the fleet, and went straight to the opposite bank. That is, he did not bring supplies, nor did he bring reinforcements.

On the boat, Sun Bing and Xu Yan looked at the clear and cloudless night sky and the sparkling river, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Even God doesn't help himself, and when people are unlucky, they really drink cold water and stuff their teeth.

There is a slight advantage to not having the cover of the night, they are easy to expose, and in the same way, they can be the first to spot the enemy if they appear.

Along the way, both of them raised their hearts to their throats, and seeing that they were about to reach the middle of the river, they had not yet seen the enemy's ships appear, and the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Yan said: "It seems that General Ding is right, the sailors of the Red Kingdom are really negligent in taking precautions. ”

Sun Bing nodded and said, "If I knew this, you and my brother should really lead the team to attack the enemy army." ”

The two of them were singing and harmonizing, pretending to regret and sigh, when suddenly, they heard a soldier shouting from the lookout above them: "General, there is a Red Fleet in the east, which is heading towards us!"

This voice almost scared Sun Bing and Xu Yan to sit on the board of the boat on the spot, and the two hurriedly turned around and looked to the east. But after looking at it for a while, the two of them didn't see it really, and finally Xu Yan hurriedly walked to the mast of the ship, and climbed it quickly, waiting for people to be in mid-air, and then looked to the east, isn't it, there is a large fleet on the river in the distance rushing towards him at full speed, although he can't see the flag clearly, but a fool can guess that it is the Red Army fleet.

"Prepare for war! Prepare for war!" After seeing this, Xu Yan shouted while jumping off the mast and pulling his neck.

With his shout, the entire main ship seemed to have exploded, and the shouts and roars of the people joined in unison, and at the same time, the signal corporator of the main ship passed the news of the preparation for battle to the other ships.

They saw it right, and now it was the Red Army Sailors who were coming straight for them.

Qualcomm has long been waiting for the Jin State Navy to cross the river, if the Jin Army wants to capture the capital Jiankang, it is far from enough to rely on the first batch of troops to cross the river, and it must also need backup, Qualcomm calculated a little accurately, and sent people to keep an eye on the moves of the Jin State Navy at all times, it can be said that Sun Bing and Xu Yan just led the water army out of the camp, Qualcomm got the news, and immediately personally led the army to attack.

The ships of the Red Kingdom are all large ships, although they are against the current, but they are Shunjin, the speed is extremely fast, and looking at the posture, they are ready to collide directly.

The bow of the warship was wrapped in iron sheets, and a long hammer poked out, and if it hit the hull of the opponent, it could really knock a ship in two.

At this time, Sun Bing and Xu Yan did not dare to escape, so they could only fight hard.

The two of them still have some ability to command water battles, panic is panic, but commanding a hundred ships is still orderly.

The Jin navy concentrated large ships in the center, flanked by medium and light ships to escort, archers all went to the deck, ready rockets, and other soldiers followed behind, preparing fireballs and thistles, mainly attacking with fire, striking at the enemy.

Generally speaking, ship battles are fire battles, and only fire battles can damage enemy ships to the greatest extent.

Soon, the fleet of the Red Army rushed to the front of the Jin Navy in a long horizontal formation. The large ships of both sides deliberately avoid the edge of the other, and if the large ships collide head-on with the bow to the bow at the same time, the result can only be a defeat for both sides, but against those medium and light ships. The Red Army's fleet was not polite, and rushed straight through.

The Red Army relied on the advantages of a huge hull and a strong structure to dare to ram the ships of the Jin State head-on, but the medium and light ships of the Jin Kingdom did not dare to collide with the other party, fortunately, the ship was small and had the advantage of being small, that is, flexible and maneuverable, at this time. The medium and light ships of the Jin Army took the initiative to change direction and avoid the trajectory of the enemy's ships.

As the two sides came into contact with each other, the ships of the two sides crossed over, and then, the arrows were fired in unison, and now looking at the river, rockets were flying, shuttling back and forth, like a meteor shower. It's beautiful.

It's just that the people in the whirlpool of fierce battles don't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery, in order to deal with each other's arrows, the archers on both sides invariably retreat, so that the shield soldiers are in front, and on the battlefield, the crisp sound of arrows hitting the shield comes and goes, and it is impossible to tell the number.

The arrows were only the prelude to the water battle, when the ships of both sides were in a parallel state side to side. Both sides used their respective skills to press the bottom of the box.

Comparatively speaking, the ships of the Red Kingdom have much more weapons than the ships of the Jin Kingdom. It is also much more advanced, and the most powerful of them is the slapping rod.

The pole was made of wood, with a huge stone hammer at the top, which was fastened to the sides of the ship, and when not in battle, the pole was hoisted high. Once the war starts, people let go of the rope, and the stone hammer of the slapping rod will be smashed down, to put it bluntly, the slapping rod is borrowed from the principle of leverage. Maximum damage to enemy ships.

In an engagement, the Jin State Navy suffered the loss of the slap rod, but it couldn't prevent it at all, unless the Jin State ships followed the example of the Red State ships and also built a slap rod to shoot against the opponent's ships, but in such a short period of time, how could the Jin State Navy build it?

The stone hammer fixed at the top of the slap rod fell down from mid-air, and the soldiers below couldn't stop it if they wanted to, and some of the shield soldiers also subconsciously raised their shields to block, but after a loud noise, even the figure of the shield soldiers could not be seen, and a large round hole more than half a meter wide was exposed on the deck. What's worse is that the slapping rod is not a one-time attack weapon, it can be used repeatedly, and after the smashing is completed, the red soldier on the other side can pull the slapping rod up hard, and it can also do the second and third ...... until the rod breaks overwhelmed.

Such a weapon, even the large ships of the Jin Army cannot afford it, and once the light ships are hit, the result can be imagined.

The main way for the Jin army to deal with it was to lean in, throw out the hook and claw, detain the Red Army's ship, and then pull the rope hard to bring the ships of both sides closer together as much as possible, so that the Jin Army officers and men could jump directly into the Red Army ship and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Red Army.

The army of the wooden people has always been good at archery, and on the battlefield, they try their best to distance themselves from the enemy, and now, they are being taken the initiative to fight hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, and it is not difficult to see the passivity of the Jin navy in the face of the Red Fleet.

The battle between the two sides continued endlessly, and one ship after another slowly sank to the bottom of the river due to serious damage, and most of the sunken ships were from the Jin State Navy.

The war has reached this level, and the Jin State Navy is completely supported by the desire to survive.

Although Jiankang had its own armies on the north and south banks, and although it was close to the battlefield, the Jin State had no other fleet, that is, they had no backup to count on at all, either to defeat the enemy army, or to sink the river with the ships to feed the fish.

In this situation of fighting with no way out, the Jin State Navy also behaved extremely tenacious, and even Sun Bing and Xu Yan acted as death squads, taking the lead in killing the Red Army ships, killing the enemy soldiers as much as possible and grabbing the ships.

It's a pity that the gap in strength between the two sides can no longer be made up by determination and fighting spirit, when the Red State ships on the Jin army's side began to be sunk one after another, Sun Bing, Xu Yan and even the whole army began to fall into despair.

The main ship of Sun and Xu was not sunk, but it was already crumbling, the deck was full of wounded soldiers and corpses, the railing was intermittent, the whole ship was on fire everywhere, and even the white sails of the ship were shot like a hornet's nest.

So far, there are only more than 10 of the more than 100 ships of the Jin country, and all of them are seriously damaged.

In terms of the overall strength of both sides, it is not easy for the Jin army to fight like this, and Qualcomm also admires the chief general of the Jin State Water Army, and he raised the command flag in his hand high, signaling the soldiers under his command to stop fighting for the time being.

Seeing that the Red Army stopped attacking, the Jin Army, which had already become a strong crossbow, finally got a chance to breathe, and the surviving soldiers were fighting the fire and rescuing their own soldiers who had fallen into the water.

Guarded by many red generals, Qualcomm walked to the bow of the ship and shouted in the direction of the main ship of the Jin army: "Brothers of the Jin Kingdom, your defeat in this battle has been decided, and now you are surrounded by our army, and it is difficult to fly, so don't make any more senseless resistance, disarming and surrendering is your only way to live." ”

Surrender? Sun Bing and Xu Yan looked at each other and smiled, but they smiled bitterly, until now, the two of them didn't even have the aura to cover their armor, their faces and armor were full of blood, and they couldn't tell whether it was their own or the enemy's, and their appearance was extremely embarrassing.

If they can surrender, how can they stop at fighting to the point where they have now? Not to mention that the dignity of being the commander of the first army cannot bear the humiliation of surrender, and even if they do not have dignity, can they still not care about the lives of the children of their families? Their families are all in Jinguo, and once they surrender, none of the old and young members of the family will be able to escape, and they will all have to be killed.

Sun Bing looked down at the war knife in his hand, turned his heart sideways, bit his teeth, raised it violently, and put it across his neck, he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yan, and said, "It seems that you and I are in a catastrophe today, and our brothers can only ...... Goodbye to the Martyrs' Hall!"

As he spoke, he used a force on his wrist to wipe his neck and kill himself.

Seeing that Sun Bing was about to commit suicide, Xu Yan hurriedly stepped forward, slapped the war knife in his hand, and said with a breath: "Death left and right, instead of committing suicide, it is better to fight with the Red Army!"

"Fight?" Sun Bing almost cried, and asked rhetorically: "What are we going to fight with the enemy now? Rather than being captured and humiliated, it is better to commit suicide, and it will be a hundred!"

Xu Yan looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the main warship of the Red Army where Qualcomm was, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "If you want to die, we have to pull him to be a backstop!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the main warship of the Red Army, and said, "We will crash over and die with the Red Thief!" (to be continued......)
