On this night, on the surface of the Huaishui River, warships collided with each other and ignited, and hundreds of warships were blazing.

Blown by the west wind and pushed by the current, the ships on fire upstream quickly approached the ships of the Jianghuai Navy, and the latter's fleet of warships, because they were temporarily blocked, did not escape in time and fell into this fire attack.

"It's over, it's all over, my Jianghuai Naval Division has almost been wiped out." Some Jianghuai generals exclaimed, and even wailed, suffering heavy losses.

The ship caught fire, and most of the soldiers jumped into the water, and countless were drowned, and countless were killed by arrows.

Before Wu Pei's ship caught fire, he had already fled on a raft first, so he had not been surrounded, but after the destruction of the army, they were no longer able to come back to help.

Hurry back to the riverbank camp and mobilize the army to defend, but when the remnants of the small boats approached the riverbank camp, they found that it was also caught in a fight and was attacked.

The ship was also set on fire, and the Dahua elite slaughtered into the Shuizhai camp, which was extremely fierce.

At this moment, Wu Pei knew that the general trend had gone, so he did not flee again, but led his men and horses to the camp, wanting to live and die with the position.

In the end, the result was doomed, Wu Pei died in the melee, which was also a relief.

The next morning, when it was dark, the river was covered with tattered hulls and blackened planks, as well as countless corpses, floating on the water, and the river was stained red.

The Dahua army wiped out the Jianghuai naval army in one night, and the damage was only three or four thousand, which can be described as a complete victory.

In the large battalion on the north shore, many of the new troops were completely impressed by His Majesty's use of troops after learning the news.

I used to just hear that His Majesty fought in the south and the north, invincible, and the world was determined on horseback, and there were many rumors, but now he followed His Majesty to the south, and the first battle was a sneak attack on Shanyang Cang, cutting off the grain and grass of the Jianghuai army in Jiangdu County; In the second battle, he destroyed the Jianghuai Sailor so beautifully, and I admired it very much.

The sailor brought by Zhou Faming was responsible for starting to clean up the river and salvage the dead bodies.

And the regular Northern Army, in order, began to cross the river by pontoons, which saved more time than ferries.

Originally, Zhou Faming and other southern generals were still in Nahan, the ships were all burned down, how to cross the river, whether it was necessary to rebuild the boats, or go to nearby states and counties to buy fishing boats, but Luo Zhaoyun had already ordered to start making pontoon bridges and chain suspension bridges, and the army crossed the river through pontoon bridges and chain bridges, and there was no need for ships at all.

The army entered Jiangdu County from Pengcheng, with 80,000 horses, leaving 30,000 horses on the river bank to garrison in case the grain and grass from the rear were smoothly transported.

"Your Majesty, write it down, shall we attack Qingliu City?"

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said: "Besieging the city for reinforcements, Qingliu City is an important city in the north of Jiangdu County, the city is high and thick, and it is not easy to overcome, rather than delaying time there, scattering troops, and delaying fighters, such as copying the back road of the Jiangnan Army." Old General Zhang Zhenzhou, you will take 20,000 horses and horses to confront outside Qingliu City, neither attack the city nor fight, surround but not fight, prepare for ambush reinforcements, contain the forces of Qingliu City, and cut off the grain route between Qingliu City and Dingyuan City, so that the Jiangnan Allied Army in the area of Dingyuan City in Zhongli County will soon have a shortage of grain and grass supplies, which is conducive to our army's encirclement and suppression of the allied forces. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered!" Zhang Zhenzhou clenched his fists and took his life.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, and then led the soldiers and horses of each 10,000-strong team, led by different generals, and began to cross the river and land one after another.

Duan Zhixuan, Zhang Gongjin, Bing Yuanzhen and others, all of whom were generals of the tiger, each led 10,000 troops, and after crossing the river, they quickly rushed to the designated location, stationed and guarded.

After all the 80,000 troops crossed the river, they began to advance in Zhongli County, to outflank the back road of the Jianghuai Allied army.

When the guards in Qingliu City, Ximen Junyi and his wife, learned that the Jianghuai Naval Army was all destroyed, they were very shocked and planned to go north to rescue, but when they learned that a group of men and horses attacked Qingliu City, forcing Ximen Junyi to give up the idea of going north, the top priority is to hold this city and protect the grain and grass in the city, which is an important city in the north of Jiangdu County.

However, after Zhang Zhenzhou came with his troops, he bluffed and besieged the city but did not attack, with the idea of a good battle, digging trenches and warning areas, so that the people in the city could not easily attack.

Because of this practice, a high ditch was dug out, and the city was surrounded by regiments, and water and barbs were filled inside, which made it inconvenient for the soldiers and horses in the city to travel, let alone take the initiative to sneak attack.

"It's strange why this army didn't attack the city and dig trenches, as if it wasn't going to let us out." Ximen Junyi, dressed in armor, stood at the head of the city, looking at the enemy formation outside the city, feeling surprised and puzzled.

Wang Shulan explained: "It seems that they don't plan to really attack the city and trap us!" ”

Ximen Junyi sneered: "There is plenty of food and grass in the city, and it is not a problem to hold on for a year, can the Chinese ** team outside the city be able to patiently defend here for a year?" ”

Wang Shulan reminded: "Husband, don't forget that there is plenty of grain and grass in the city, and half of it is to be transported to the front line to the Allied forces, which is equivalent to cutting off the supply to the front line. ”

Ximen Junyi was stunned for a moment, slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, I forgot about this stubble, I must send someone to break through, pass the news to General Manager Du, and ask him to send troops to help, cooperate with the outside and the outside, annihilate the soldiers and horses outside the city, and then transport the excess grain and grass to the front line." ”

Wang Shulan shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid that the enemy army is also prepared to besiege the city and send reinforcements, so the reinforcements that come will be their prey." ”

"This northerner, when did he have so many ghost ideas, sneak attack Shanyang Cang, attack the Jianghuai Shui Division, surround Qingliu City, every step is so calculated and so ruthless, and our Jianghuai army has been tightened step by step!" Ximen Junyi strung together these recent things, and suddenly felt a chill in his back.

Unconsciously, they have lost their lead and advantage, and they have been clenched by Dahua's invisible hand.

The difference between the Northern Imperial Court and the Jiangnan Allied Army is that the former is a state institution and operates closely; Behind is a rabble, lacking strategic vision and layout.

Wang Shulan looked at the north, her expression was worried, and she said with emotion: "Luo Zhaoyun has personally conquered the army, this person is famous, and the young man has become famous...... I'm afraid it's hard to compete! ”

"As long as General Manager Du does not give the order to surrender to Cheng and return to the Huaguo, we will be the generals, we will carry out the military order and fight to the death, no matter who he is or what the origin is, I Ximen Junyi will not be afraid of anyone, and I will never retreat!" Ximen Junyi's face sank, encouraging himself, and at the same time showing his determination to fight to the end.
