Gao Tong was taken aback at first when he heard the news that the enemy had made a fake landing in Linzhuang, but immediately afterward, he immediately realized that there might be danger on the side of the camp.

His reaction was fast enough, and he led the cavalry back to the camp as soon as possible, but unfortunately he was still a step too late. When he saw a large number of red soldiers running in front of him, Qualcomm's head also buzzed, and he secretly screamed in his heart that something must have happened to the battalion!

Sure enough, the eighth and ninth corps commanders were taken to Gaotong before and after, these two seemed to have suffered a great grievance, both knelt on the ground, snot and eyes flowed out together, and cried: "General, the big thing is not good, our army's camp has been attacked by the enemy, and now it has been lost and fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

After a pause, the two of them continued with a handful of snot and tears: "General Guan was ordered by the general to sneak attack the enemy camp, but as soon as General Guan led the fleet to leave, the enemy's fleet came, and our army's fleet must have encountered the enemy, but I don't know why there was no battle, and there was no news and early warning, which caused our army to be defenseless and was caught off guard by the enemy, so we suffered this big loss!"

The two of them are good, and they put all the responsibility on the child.

Of course, Guan Tong himself was indeed at fault and did not dare to fight with the Jin fleet, but under that circumstance at that time, Guan Tong really did not have time to separate a warship to turn around and return to the camp to report the news.

After listening to their words, Qualcomm felt that his chest was tight, and his heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and he felt a pain. There was no time to hold the eighth and ninth corps commanders accountable, and he asked in a deep voice: "How many enemy troops are there?"

"Oh...... A lot, probably...... Probably no less than 100,000 people. The two corps commanders stammered.

Qualcomm no longer asked, and shouted to the left and right: "Our soldiers, rush back to the camp at full speed, be sure to expel the enemy and recapture the camp!"

Right now. Qualcomm was also confused, all he led were cavalry, and it was okay to fight the infantry who had no support, but it was basically impossible to attack the city.

Gao Tong led the red cavalry to the camp of the Jiankang Water Division like a whirlwind, but he did not rush to the front. was shot head-on by the Jin army stationed at the wall.

The Red Cavalry immediately launched a counterattack, and the archers formed a formation and launched a sharp return fire.

The Jin army had already prepared, and the soldiers either squatted behind the arrow stacks or blocked with shields, and the arrows of the archers did not pose much threat to the Jin army.

With high walls in the way, the Red Cavalry's greatest advantages, speed and impact, were no longer effective, and as a result, they were not as effective as ordinary infantry. Under the back and forth of fire from both sides, the Red Cavalry was defeated in the end.

Gao Tong saw that it was not a way to continue fighting like this, so he hastily ordered the troops to be collected and temporarily camped in an open space about three miles away from the camp, and he himself went to the capital to Jiankang and asked Shi Huai for help.

Now if you want to recapture the Jiankang Naval Division, you can only rely on infantry, and the best way is to mobilize the central army in the capital.

He won't mention it for now. Let's say that the main force of the Jiankang Naval Division led by Guan Tong, the fleet rushed all the way. During this period, there was no fighting, and they smoothly docked at the dock of the Jin State Navy.

After docking, the 100,000 infantry loaded by the ship all came to shore and charged the camp of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance.

However, as soon as they rushed to the camp of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance, they heard a loud rumbling sound in their ears, as if it was a muffled thunder from the sky. Even the ground is shaking violently, and people even wonder if there is an earthquake now.

At this moment, the gate of the camp of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance Army suddenly opened, and the Seventh Army led by Guan He lined up in a neat battle formation and rushed out of the camp.

The charge of the hoplites. It is much more formidable than the hussars, and at the same time much more powerful.

The heavy cavalry of the Jin country seemed to have known that the Red Army was coming to steal the camp, and made corresponding preparations, which caught the Red Army soldiers off guard, especially those soldiers who were bent on making great contributions to the front, and the heavy cavalry who rushed out of the camp collided, and the result can also be imagined, groups of Red soldiers were knocked to the ground, but people did not even have a chance to get up from the ground, and the heavy cavalry was like a bulldozer directly crushed from their bodies.

For a time, the screams in the Red Army camp came and went.

The combat effectiveness of ordinary infantry is completely different from that of heavy cavalry, and even if the heavy cavalry rushes forward with their eyes closed, the infantry cannot resist it.

The sneak attack of the Red soldiers came quickly and ran faster, but when they came, they were 100,000 people, and in the end only 50,000 ran away by ship, and the other half of the troops either died outside the camp of the Jin Army and the New Red Alliance, or they did not have time to take the boat and were trapped on the shore of Jiankang.

The Red Army, which had been slaughtered by the Seventh Legion, could only return to the south bank by boat, but when they approached the camp, they suddenly found that their camp had been occupied by the Jin army at some point, and the banners in the camp were all golden flags.

Before people could figure out what was going on, how their camp could be occupied by the Jin army in such a nouncular manner, at this time, the Jin State Navy and the two corps of the Red State Navy had already set out to meet the Jiankang Navy Division.

The current Jiankang Sailor had just suffered a defeat on the north bank, but when he returned to the south bank, he found that even his own camp was occupied by the Jin.

In this situation, a large-scale water war was fought between the two sides.

With the fleets of the two corps of the Red Army, the strength of the Jin Army's naval army can be said to have increased a lot, but on the other hand, the Red Army didn't even understand what the situation was, and it was completely defeated.

But even so, in the battle between the two sides of the navy, the Jin State Navy did not take any advantage, although the last to escape was the Jiankang Naval Division, but the number of damaged ships on both sides is about the same, thanks to Lin Haotian, Shao Lin and the Demon Warriors fought desperately, relying on the strange figure from time to time to flash to the opponent's ship, with a face-to-face handover to kill and injure the enemy, disrupting the enemy formation, if not, the final rout may still be the Jin State Navy.

Taking advantage of the gap between the escape of the Jiankang Naval Division, Lin Hao Tianma gave the order to go down, and his fleet went to the opposite bank to pick up the remaining Iron Lion Army soldiers to cross the river.

There are 100,000 soldiers of the Iron Lion Army left behind by Lin Haotian, only 30,000 people followed the fleet, and more than 60,000 soldiers stayed in the camp!

The main generals led by Lin Haotian did not leave the south bank, and returned to the Jiankang Navy Division camp on a ship. The commanding officers and men continued to step up their time to prepare for the next round of counterattack by the Red Army.

Lin Haotian and the others all understood that the first round of counterattack carried out by the Red Army just now was just an impulsive move to be confused, and the real ferocious counterattack would be the next time.

They expected to be right, Qualcomm rode back to Jiankang on a fast horse, and begged to see Shi Huai overnight. and informed Shi Huai of the bad news of the loss of the Jiankang Water Division's camp.

Shi Huai was also shocked when he heard the news of the fall of the Jiankang Naval Division's camp, so the Jin army had already arrived on the south bank, and it might attack the capital at will, but now is not the time to be held accountable, Shi Huai asked bluntly: "How does General Gao plan to deal with it?"

"The Jiankang Water Division Battalion is the top priority of our country's defense against the enemy, and we must not lose anything, and we must take it back. The last general intends to borrow 200,000 central troops from your lordship, and is willing to guarantee with a head that the camp of the Jiankang Water Division will be recaptured!"

Whether he can recapture the Jiankang Navy Battalion, Qualcomm has no bottom in his heart, but as the commander of the Navy Army, he has lost the base camp of the Navy Army, and he must bear this responsibility.

Shi Huai thought about it carefully and did not agree. Instead, he ordered the attendants around him to immediately summon the general Yin Liang into the palace.

Qualcomm is the commander of the water army, and the water war can be fought fiercely. But it doesn't mean that he will definitely fight a land war, if he wants to recapture the Jiankang Naval Division camp, in terms of the current withered Chiguo, Shi Huai can only entrust Yin Liang with a heavy responsibility.

Yin Liang was ordered by Shi Huai to command the Central Army to recapture the Jiankang Water Division Camp occupied by the Jin Army.

At present, there are not many central troops stationed in Jiankang, with a strength of 500,000 troops. Even if the cavalry is removed, there are at least more than 400,000 infantry available, but the troops sent by Shi Huai to Yin Liang are only 200,000, and Yin Liang himself does not have much hope of recapturing the Sailor Battalion.

Although he is the general of the Red Kingdom, he just has a name. The actual stomach is empty, there is not much real talent and learning, and the actual combat experience is pitiful, judging from the past experience of the Red Kingdom, all wars led by Yin Liang will be at a stalemate in the end.

So far, I don't know how many specific troops the enemy is, and I don't know which legion is occupying the Jiankang Navy Battalion, and I don't even know who the enemy's main general is, which is tantamount to letting him be a blind commander to command this battle, how can Yin Liang, who is already not confident in his own ability, have a high fighting spirit?

He left the palace with Qualcomm, and on the way, Yin Liang kept asking Qualcomm about the enemy's situation. The latter also knows very little, but he has heard from his subordinates that the enemy's strength is no less than 100,000, and the combat power is very strong, as for the rest of the information, he knows nothing.

After Yin Liang heard this, his heart was suddenly cold, his knowledge of the art of war told him that only three times the enemy can attack the fortification, if the enemy army has more than 100,000, how can he only lead an army of 200,000 to fight down, not to mention that the opponent is still known for its courage and good fighting.

He sighed for a long time, shook his head again and again, and muttered vigorously: "This battle is very difficult, this battle is very difficult......

Seeing him like this, Gao Tong also lamented in his heart, the great general who is the commander of the army has no confidence, so how can the soldiers below have the determination to fight bloody battles and kill the enemy desperately? ”

After hearing this, Yin Liang sneered self-deprecatingly and said, "If the enemy is so easily defeated, they will not be the Jin army, and our sailor battalion will not be lost." ”

Before the war, he actually said such a frustrating thing, Gao Tong was so angry that he really wanted to slap him twice, if he was not a general.

Leaving the palace, Yin Liang was about to go to the military camp outside the city to order troops, when he happened to meet the oncoming Taifu Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong also heard the rumors, saying that the Jin army had now captured the Jiankang Water Division camp, and he couldn't sit still at home, so he wanted to see what was going on in the palace, but he met Yin Liang and Qualcomm halfway.

After meeting, Zhang Rong asked urgently: "I heard that the Jiankang Sailor Battalion was lost, what is going on?"

"Alas!" Yin Liang sighed, raised his head to Gao Tong on the side, and said: "This matter is still up to General Gao!" The implication is that Gao Tong is the commander of the naval army, how did the naval battalion be lost. He's the best to speak.

How could Qualcomm not hear Yin Liang's complaining and sarcasm, his jade face turned red, and he patiently told Zhang Rong about the truth of the matter.

Zhang Rong didn't care about the whole story, he only cared about whether the news was true or not, and now when he heard that the Navy Battalion was indeed captured by the Jin army, his heart was completely cold.

At this time. He had already made up his mind that the Red Kingdom had perished! If the Jin army had not been allowed to cross the river, the Red Kingdom might still be able to hold on, and now that the Jin army had crossed the river, then the day of the fall of the capital would not be far away. Now, it's time to plan for your future retreat.

Thinking of this, he secretly rejoiced again, fortunately, he had a lot of dealings with Jin Guo at the beginning. Moreover, there are two Jin people living in his own house, and through them, he can have a direct dialogue with the Jin court.

Seeing that Zhang Rong listened to Qualcomm's narration, standing there motionless, not saying a word, his face was cloudy and sunny, and he was uncertain, Yin Liang sighed again. said: "Lord Zhang, I will go to the camp outside the city to order troops. I took my leave. ”

"This official is going with the general!" Zhang Rong came back to his senses and said hurriedly.

Zhang Rong was a civilian official, and without Shi Huai's instructions, he had neither the right nor the qualification to participate in military affairs. However, he is a Taifu, a member of the first grade. The personal relationship with Yin Liang is not bad, and in the current critical situation, Yin Liang is too lazy to pay attention to it so much.

But before Yin Liang could speak, Gao Tong said on the side: "Lord Taifu didn't have the king's will, so he went to the barracks privately. I'm afraid it's not proper!"

Yin Liang's face sank, and he said to Gao Tong: "General Gao, you should go to the Jiankang Water Division camp immediately now, and bring all the cavalry stationed outside the camp back to the capital, there must be no mistake!" Yin Liang and Zhang Rong belong to the same faction in the court, and they are also old friends, and Gao Tong is just a foreign general who was temporarily requisitioned to the capital, of course Yin Liang will not hurt the friendship between himself and his colleagues because of him.

The general is the head of the generals, and Qualcomm does not dare to disobey his orders. The latter looked at Yin Liang, and then at Zhang Rong, and finally could only respond helplessly: "Yes, the last general will obey the order!"

Watching Qualcomm leave quickly, Yin Liang snorted and muttered, "I don't know what to do." As he spoke, he said to Zhang Rong again: "Master Zhang, Qualcomm is just a hillbilly from a small place, don't you mind." ”

"Alas, now that the safety of you and me is on the front line, who has to take care of this little thing. Zhang Rong Zhengse said: "The general led his troops to attack the Jin army this time, how sure is he of victory?"

Yin Liang smiled and smiled bitterly, he shook his head and said: "The courage of the Jin army, Lord Zhang is not ignorant, even if I fight head-on, I am not sure of winning, not to mention that this time it is still a tough battle...... To be honest, I'm not even sure about it!"

Shaking his head as he spoke, after a pause, Yin Liang's eyes rolled, he looked at Zhang Rong squarely, and said, "Lord Zhang has always been resourceful, I don't know if there is a good plan this time?"

Zhang Rong's heart moved, if he could persuade Yin Liang to defect to the Jin State, then his contribution to the Jin State would be great, but Yin Liang's incompetence would be incompetent, and the cowardice would be timid, but it would not be easy for him to betray the Red Kingdom.

While pondering, he said: "According to Qualcomm, the Jin army has a large number of troops, and the general only led 200,000 soldiers to attack, which is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg!"

Yin Liang nodded again and again and said, "It is precisely because of the difficulty of this battle that I asked Master Zhang for advice. ”

Zhang Rong didn't dare to persuade Yin Liang to surrender now, he pretended to think about it, shook his head slowly, and said: "It's difficult! No matter what method you think, this battle will be very difficult! It's better to do this, the general will invite more soldiers and horses from the king, as long as there are enough troops, it is not impossible to recapture the Jiankang Naval Division battalion." ”

Zhang Rong was clear in his heart, now that the king can send Yin Liang 200,000 soldiers and horses is the limit, he will definitely not send him another soldier, the king's suspicion is too serious, in the current tense situation, the king must control most of the troops in his own hands.

Zhang Rong knew that it was not feasible and deliberately said this, Yin Liang listened, his head shook like a rattle, and he said again and again: "Impossible! It is impossible for the king to give me more soldiers and horses, the king is a person, and Lord Zhang is not unaware, with the current situation, even if the king sends me 200,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that he will be scared, for fear that there will be changes!"

"If that's the case, then I can't help it. Zhang Rong shrugged helplessly and said to Yin Liang: "The general can only ask for more blessings for himself." ”

Yin Liang rubbed his hands vigorously and asked, "Isn't there anything that Lord Zhang can do at all?"

Zhang Rong pretended to be joking, and said with a smile: "Why don't I find some fine works of the Jin Kingdom and introduce them to the general, as long as the general shows his attitude and is willing to defect to the Jin Kingdom, then even if the capital falls, the general can still enjoy the high-ranking officials, glory and wealth." ”

Yin Liang saw his smiling appearance and only thought he was joking, so he glanced at him angrily, and said helplessly: "My Master Taifu, when are you still joking with me now." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Rong also knew in his heart that it was not yet time to persuade Yin Liang to surrender and defect.

He looked up and smiled, and said: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and the general does not have to worry too much. ”

"Alas!" Yin Liang forced a smile and nodded reluctantly.

Yin Liang did not have any hope for this battle report, but it was not easy for the Jin army on the other side to occupy the camp of the Jiankang Water Division. (To be continued......)
