"Knock knock!"

The sky is dark and starry, and the war drums are thunderous.

Huang Qi sat by the campfire and let the soldiers help him bind his wounds.

Zhao Han firmly occupies Zhangshu Town, as the distribution center of medicinal materials in the south, the last thing he lacks now is medicine. Moreover, the two pharmacists who offered excellent gold sore medicine formulas were recognized and supported by Zhao Han, including the one who punished Fei Chun's parents in accordance with the law.

"The war drums of the officers and soldiers tonight are not right, they were beaten five times in just one watch." Huang Qi frowned.

Tu Menggu, a missionary officer, said: "Either you plan to attack at night, or you plan to escape. ”

Huang Mi suddenly smiled and said: "Yo, Mr. Tu also knows how to fight, and he can actually see through the intentions of officers and soldiers." ”

Tu also belongs to the Jiangxi surname, and the ancestor is Tu Qin, who supported Sima Rui as emperor. In the area of Nanchang and Fengcheng, there are many people with the surname Tu, and there are several children of the big clan who defected to Zhao Han, and there are also many people who recruit troops to help Zhu Xieyuan fight.

Tu Menggu said: "This afternoon, I shuttled through various positions, encouraging the morale of our troops, and at the same time observing the movements of the enemy troops. After noon, the officers and men became more and more prone to rout, and by the evening, many officers and men were so frightened that they fled down the hill before they had even approached the position. ”

"We are a cheap life, it doesn't matter if we die, the head town will be compensated, and orphans and widows will not be bullied," Huang Qi pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "Those villagers from good families, they don't dare to die, once they die, the family's fields and real estate may be occupied by their relatives." You are a good family, are you willing to work hard? ”

"Hehe, I definitely don't want to." Tu Menggu said with a smile.

After the wound was bandaged, Huang Qi immediately got up: "The officers and soldiers will flee tonight, it depends on Lao Li (Li Zheng) whether they dare to come and pick up the bargain!" ”

Li Zheng did not wait, and the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked at night.

The surviving more than 1,000 rattan armor soldiers, as well as thousands of "elite" officers and soldiers, suddenly launched night raids on various positions.

At the cost of more than 40 casualties, the Datong Army finally interrupted the attack of the officers and men.

Tu Menggu was puzzled: "Aren't the officers and soldiers trying to escape, but fighting us to the death?" If it drags on for another two days, our army will be cut off from water. ”

Huang Mi shook his head and said: "The officers and soldiers can't fight anymore, and in the hands of that Governor Zhu, only one or two thousand rattan armor soldiers will work." But this is not a flat ground battle, our army's second line of defense is even more precipitous, how can the officers and soldiers be so easy to defeat it? All he can do is delay, our army loses the first line of defense, and also loses the water source, until the day we have no water to drink. But how long can the morale of the officers and soldiers last? No matter how fierce the attack is tonight, the officers and soldiers will definitely retreat! ”

Huang Mi patrolled the various positions with his wounds, prepared the soldiers to go down the mountain to pursue, and then leaned on the rocks to take a nap.

There was a drum beat at the foot of the mountain to announce the time on time, and he was not afraid of oversleeping.

Nearly three days later, Huang Qi ordered the whole army to attack, regardless of whether the officers and soldiers retreated or not, they had to go to the night attack to recapture the first line of defense.

"Kill!"

The Datong army went out on all sides, killed the first line of defense, and found that the position was full of thatched dummies.

"Doodoo Dot Dot ~~~~"

The sound of suona came from the direction of the artificial river, and then a suona passed a suona, all of which were sentry spies scattered by Li Zheng and Fei Yinghui along the way.

The officers and men retreated and were discovered by the sentinels.

The sound of suona from near and far, tearing through the silence of the night, continues to spread to the mountains farther away.

It was definitely too late to intercept immediately, so Li Zheng, Fei Yinghui, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others directly led their troops to the northeast in a hurry, trying to go upstream to intercept the retreat of the officers and men.

They...... It's all in the air!

Zhu Xieyuan did not follow the river all the way back to Nanchang, but crossed the river one mile south of Fengcheng.

It is the narrowest part of the river, with a width of only 30 meters.

Moreover, Zhu Xieyuan left 1,000 officers and soldiers here, not only to watch the defenders of Fengcheng County with the officers and soldiers in the Ganjiang River, one south and one north, but also to prepare for crossing the river in advance.

The sailor has been harassing Fengcheng County, and Jiang Liang, who is responsible for guarding the city, has not dared to act rashly in the past few days, let alone cross the river to fight the 1,000 officers and soldiers.

The location of this thousand officers and soldiers is disgusting, at the confluence of two small rivers. Whether it is Jiang Liang from Fengcheng County to attack, or Li Zheng and Fei Yingheng in the mountains to kill, they must cross the river first. The officers and men also prepared many small boats, which they could take and sail away in when the situation was not good.

Before Zhu Xieyuan surrounded the mountain, he had already thought of a way out!

More than 20,000 officers and soldiers followed the river and arrived at the ferry port south of Fengcheng at dawn.

Huang Mi led more than 3,000 tired soldiers and chased all the way from the southwest. It was really a tired soldier, and many soldiers wanted to doze off when they walked, and they had to fight hard and pull each other's belts to march.

And Li Zheng, Fei Yinghui and others blocked the retreat and ran over, and when they realized that something was wrong, they hurriedly came back along the river.

"The main force of the officers and soldiers has returned?"

Liu Shunyi, the magistrate of Fengcheng County, climbed the city tower in a panic.

Jiang Liang pointed to the south and said, "The officers and soldiers want to cross the river. Liu Zhixian, Fengcheng will be handed over to you for defense, and I will lead the troops to attack Bandu! ”

Liu Shunyi was horrified: "No, our responsibility is to defend Fengcheng." To the north, there are officers and soldiers, and there are many well-built ladders. If the general leads his troops to the south, what will happen if the officers and soldiers and sailors take the opportunity to attack the city in the north? ”

"I will only take 1,000 regular soldiers out, leave you 1,000 peasant soldiers, and hundreds of warriors temporarily conscripted," Jiang Liang said, "The officers and soldiers and sailors go ashore, and there are only two or three thousand people when they are full, and they can still break through the city?" ”

"But......" Liu Shunyi wanted to speak and stopped.

Jiang Liang didn't bother to say more to him, so he directly asked people to open the city gate and go out of the city with a thousand regular soldiers.

"Kill!"

Hundreds of officers and soldiers had successfully crossed the river, and Jiang Liang's sudden attack frightened these officers and soldiers to flee one after another.

Zhu Xieyuan was not surprised, and said to the generals under his command: "The thief is out of the city, you don't have to wait for the boat, take off your armor and swim over, and take advantage of the situation to seize Fengcheng County!" ”

More than 20,000 people crossed the river, all of them were Jiangxi soldiers who could swim, and the river was only more than 30 meters wide.

After killing more than 2,000 officers and soldiers, thousands more soon swam over, and the black lights blinded the fire, but surrounded Jiang Liang's defenders of Qianfeng City.

"Circle the Formation!"

Jiang Liang shouted anxiously.

Fortunately, in order to swim, the officers and soldiers took off their armor one after another, and it was really difficult to gnaw on Jiang Liang, who was in a circle by the river.

Moreover, the officers and soldiers fought in formations on flat ground, and the strange weapons used by the officers and soldiers to deal with the wolf were not so useful.

It was the more than 1,000 rattan armor soldiers, who swam across the river wearing rattan armor (rattan armor is waterproof), and they were helpless in the face of the formation of wolf stalks, shields, and spears.

"Quickly divide the troops to attack the city, the ladder is by the river!"

Zhu Xieyuan was very depressed, and the thieves who guarded the city dared to go out of the city to prevent him from crossing the river. The sailors led by Zhu Guoxun, the chief soldier of Jiangxi, fought for so long and did not move, and the comparison between the two was simply infuriating.

Zhu Guoxun had already heard the shouting of killing, and his order was: "The enemy situation is unknown, wait until dawn to talk about it." ”

"Woohoo!"

In the circle, five hundred archers were hidden, and they began to shoot at the officers and soldiers on the periphery.

For a while, screams rang out, and those officers and soldiers were naked, defenseless against bows and arrows.

"Kill!"

Li Zheng, Fei Yingxing, Zhang Tieniu, and Liu Zhu finally rushed back and rushed directly to the officers and soldiers who had not yet crossed the river.

Zhu Xieyuan was shocked and angry, and the anti-thief defenders of Fengcheng County took the initiative to attack, causing his crossing of the river to be delayed, and now the whole army is divided into three parts. Most of the river has been crossed, partly in the river and partly on the opposite bank.

"Gather troops, gather troops!"

Zhu Xieyuan asked the herald to blow the horn.

After the reinforcements of the Datong Army rushed in, the officers and soldiers who did not cross the river jumped into the river and swam to the opposite bank.

The river is thirty meters wide, and the flow speed is slow, which is nothing to the Jiangxi soldiers, and they can swim through it in the blink of an eye.

They can besiege and kill Jiang Liang's 1,000 soldiers with 20,000 people, or they can guard the edge of the river and kill Li Zheng, Fei Yingheng and others who tried to cross the river. You can also move to the side of the Ganjiang River, and with the backing of the officers and soldiers, you can return to Nanchang safely.

However, a group of frightened soldiers, retreating in the dark of night, where can they still keep their sanity?

It's nice to be able to retreat here.

"The anti-thief is coming, run!"

"The thieves know how to demonize!"

"Master, let's run away, we can't fight anymore."

“……”

The officers and soldiers who swam across the river were already in chaos.

Obviously they have the advantage of numbers, obviously they have crossed the river, obviously they have a variety of options, and they can be invincible! But they just got into chaos, and groups of villagers did not assemble after crossing the river, but fled directly along the river.

The sound of Zhu Xieyuan's military trumpets as he gathered his troops seemed to have turned into a fleeing starting gun, and countless officers and soldiers rushed to escape.

Zhu Xieyuan was stunned, and our whole army crossed the river smoothly, blocking the enemy's main force on the opposite bank, and also surrounding the enemy's Fengcheng defenders by the river. Our army has the advantage at the moment, and if we fight again, we can even take the opportunity to capture the city. The enemy army is still on the other side, and it is they who should be afraid, what do you mean by the rout?

In a word, the officers and men were frightened, and the retreat turned into a rout.

And it was a mess.

Wang Tingtry mixed in the rout, and he wanted to revolt against the water at the moment. But the rout didn't give him a chance, and the 2,000 villagers he recruited were also fleeing in a swarm, and he didn't understand what the hell was fleeing at all.

Anyway, if someone escapes, let's follow it, and if we escape early and quickly, we will definitely survive.

"Supervisor, let's go, it's too late for the thieves to cross the river!"

Zhu Xieyuan was dragged away by his own soldiers, and those Guizhou rattan armor soldiers were very loyal, and they could still form a formation to cover the commander's retreat in the dark.

"Damn, I shouldn't have worn armor if I knew I shouldn't have run all the way!"

Zhang Tieniu took off his armor and plunged headlong into the river, his axe was a little heavy, and he was quickly swam to the front by Liu Zhu.

At this moment, Huang Qi also led his troops to chase after him.

But his soldiers were so tired that when he saw that the officers and soldiers had dispersed, they all lay down by the river and slept, and the rest was left to the friendly troops to deal with slowly.

"Kill!"

Jiang Liang's 1,000 garrison soldiers, after being besieged for a while, only more than 930 people were left to fight, and they took the lead in chasing and killing the rout.

Li Zheng, Fei Yingxing, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others also led their troops across the river one after another, leaving only more than 100 firecrackers and hundreds of archers.

There are too many large and small rivers in Jiangxi, and after chasing for several miles, there is a small river in front of you.

I saw countless routs jumping into the river and swimming to the other side of the river to continue to escape. The pursuers also jumped into the river and continued to chase after coming ashore.

If each of them were given a bicycle, it would really be a triathlon.

From dawn to morning, many of the defeated soldiers were so tired and out of breath that they could only sit down and rest for a while, and when they saw the pursuers coming, they hurriedly fled for their lives.

Those with poor physical strength really can't run, so they lie flat there, love what's the matter, they want to kill or chop, and listen to them.

Wang Ting's physical strength was even weaker, he was lying on the edge of the river, and when he saw the Datong soldiers chasing after him, he hurriedly shouted: "I am the internal response of Mr. Zhao, don't kill me!" ”

Although the officers and soldiers in the Ganjiang River in the north did not dare to go ashore to fight, they also sent spies to check.

Knowing that Zhu Xieyuan's entire army had fled, Zhu Guoxun immediately ordered a retreat and withdrew the sailors to the outside of Nanchang before stopping.

This Jiangxi chief soldier is a parallel import!

He fought in Fujian at the beginning, and in three years, he was promoted from general to deputy general soldier, firstly, by following Zheng Zhilong to fight a smooth battle, and secondly, by smashing silver to fraudulently receive other people's military merits.

The monarchs and ministers of the imperial court thought that Zhu Guoxun was good at water warfare, and he would definitely show his might in Jiangxi.

However, he didn't dare to fight a tough battle......
