Chapter 41: Landing
Chapter 41: Landing
Compared with a lot of messy news, Zhang Xuan can evacuate the news of the army. Longwu was more worried about the disaster of Changsha City. Even in Changsha City, a small number of elite soldiers ventured out of the city to explore the upper reaches of the Liuyang River.
Xu Du just opened the net and waited, and the Jinhua army was waiting here, a series of battles of more than 100 people and more than 1,000 people, naturally Xu Du won. And these failures made Longwu sure of the fact that Changsha was flooded.
But even if Longwu wanted to go out of the city to fight, the soldiers around him would not be willing.
So Longwu issued several edicts in succession, urging the army of the king to be Qin in various places.
It's just that he didn't know that his largest Qinwang army had fallen into a very dangerous situation.
It is a small plain with Dongting Lake in the west, Xinqiang River in the north, and Miluo River in the south.
Needless to say, the Miluo River is naturally a small river, and the Xinqiang River is just a small river, and the widest part is only more than 100 meters. Zhang Xuan had never even heard the name in later generations, so he naturally didn't know that on this small river, the Battle of Xinqianghe broke out, and the Guizhou army sniped a division of the Japanese army, fighting bloodily for seven days, with more than ninety percent of casualties, and finally only more than 600 people remained. It was part of the Battle of Changsha.
Almost all of them are lighted.
All sacrifices have always existed, they just weren't remembered.
Since Zhang Xuan wants to establish his authority, he puts everything on the bright side. Without any cover-up, the boats were almost crowded together, like fish in nets.
Zhang Xuan did not land in the north of the Ming army, but landed on the south side of the Ming army, so that Cao Zongyu's department and Zhang Xuan's headquarters were sandwiched together by the Ming army.
Zhang Xuan's department was the first to land in Luo Dai's department.
As far as Luo Dai himself was concerned, he did not like to be on a boat. Not only did he not like it, but his sons, and even his mounts, didn't like the feeling of being on water.
If it were possible, he would rather come from Changsha, but only a few hundred miles.
It's just that he doesn't have a choice right now.
Therefore, he got off the boat and galloped out with more than 100 horsemen, galloping back and forth. Running the horse hard, it seems to vent all the feelings of being trapped on the ship.
That kind of arrogance seems to regard the Ming army not far from the north as air.
There was no need for Li Guo's orders, and among some of the junior officers in the Loyal Battalion, some of them couldn't hold back. Although the remnants of the camp broke into the northwest, they were defeated all the way down, and it was extremely miserable. But a considerable number of cavalry was maintained.
Of course, this number is not much, at least it can't be as strong as the Xia army, and it can still be maintained as a formed cavalry. But against more than 100 cavalry cavalry, there are still some.
But in a few moments, scouts and cavalry from all walks of life came out.
Seeing this, they persuaded Luo Dai to avoid it.
Luo Dai's face was flushed with excitement, his hand was lightly pinched, and his hand bones gurgled in a hurry, and he said, "I'm a Luo madman, if I will."
If you run, you are not a Luo madman. ”
Although Luo Dai claims to be a madman, it does not mean that Luo Dai is really a madman. He still has the time to judge the situation on the battlefield. Although he is bold, most of them are masters of art, and he only swept away the Ming cavalry that rushed over, most of them were scattered. There aren't many of them either.
Naturally, he didn't pay attention to it.
did not retreat, but advanced, and rushed forward.
Then, after the cavalry disembarked from the ship, they repaired it a little and joined the battlefield one after another.
If you have just started when the Luo Dai people are weak. He's still a little bit in danger. But with the increase in the number of cavalry. The Xia cavalry immediately gained the upper hand.
After an hour or two had passed, it was clear that the patchwork cavalry of the Loyal Battalion was no match for it. Luo Dai is even more unforgiving. Not even limited to field battles, but also began to attack several small villages on the periphery of the Ming army. Approaching the big camp.
Ming Jun immediately understood.
When Zhang Xuan got off the boat, he heard the news.
"Report, General Luo broke the Ming Army's hundred cavalry and beheaded a small colonel."
"Newspaper. General Luo, re-break the Ming army's hundred cavalry, behead a small colonel, and break the Ming army's village. Cut a guerrilla. ”
"Report ----"
"Alright." Zhang Xuan said: "Needless to say, tell Luo Dai to let him take it easy, and accept it when he sees it." ”
"Yes." Someone immediately agreed to come down.
Zhang Xuan is still very relieved about Luo Dai, not to mention the victory or defeat for the time being, Luo Dai's ability to escape should not be underestimated. To put it mildly, if there is a big defeat of the whole army, Zhang Xuan will never be able to escape, but Luo Dai has a great chance of survival.
As long as he wants.
And Zhang Xuan also has a lot of things to do at the moment, and he doesn't have time to worry about Luo Dai's affairs.
The landing of a large army is not an easy thing to do. Zhang Xuan seemed to have no one in his eyes, and landed with an arrogant attitude, but when it came to specific actions, he was still very cautious. For example, if you put Luo Dai ashore first, you can show a surface or two.
Luo Dai's department formed a strong buffer between the Ming army and the Xia army landed under Zhang Xuan's department, and with the ships staying on Dongting Lake, the artillery could directly cover many areas. The second wave landed was Deng He's department, that is, Zhang Xuan's most trusted Runing Army.
The Runing Army was all ready on board.
As soon as they landed, they built a fence with ready-made fences, similar to modular actions, almost in the blink of an eye.
Fences are not flawless. There are even many gaps intentionally left. The men and horses of the various units of the Runing Army sat neatly on the ground with the sentry as a unit. Weapons are at hand, ready to go into battle.
At this moment, they also seemed to relax, and the officers did not care much, and some of them turned out dry food, drank the water in the bamboo tube, and whispered to each other.
This familiar scene made Zhang Xuan a little distracted, and he seemed to recall the time of military training
。
However, the Ru Ning Army was different from those military training students at the beginning, and after several years of fighting, the Ru Ning Army had already sharpened into a treasure knife.
Don't look at them as if they are loose, as soon as you give an order, they can immediately transform into a state of war.
Just look at one detail and you're good to go.
Although someone eats, someone drinks water. But whether they eat or drink, they take small bites, little bits, and they don't eat too much or drink too much.
It's not that these Qiu Ba pay attention to etiquette.
It's that they know that before the big war, eating too much and being too anxious can easily affect their state.
In fact, they had already eaten a meal on the ship, and now they are doing this more to relax their minds than to replenish their nutrition.
This is the second line of defense.
And behind the Runing army, there are other armies.
They were more responsible, setting up camp, removing all the guns from the ship, and setting up camp camps.
The number of people brought over by Zhang Xuan is not large, even if Zhang Xuan's department and Cao Zongyu's department add up, the two departments together are not comparable to the number of the Ming army.
But Zhang Xuan was confident and defeated the Ming army.
Where is his confidence, it is because these people have followed Zhang Xuan's old department for several years, fought the official army, and fought the Qing army.
I don't dare to say that the world is elite, but my self-confidence is far above the other party.
And Zhang Xuan's subordinates did not live up to Zhang Xuan's expectations. In just half a day's work, the prototype of a camp has been established.
Although it looks rudimentary, there are even many flaws in many places. But it depends on who will guard it.
Zhang Xuan is confident that this is an impregnable wall for the Ming army.
Daylight shifts, from east to west.
Everywhere the temporary trestle plunged deep into the water, just when I got off the boat. For example, Luo Dai and others have to wade through the water for a while.
But over time, a makeshift camp was built.
A day, although not too long, is not too short either. Although many places are in a hurry, for example, the camp is not fully built. Some of the soldiers had to live on the ship.
Zhang Xuan's Chinese army tent was also placed on the ship. When it was getting dark, Luo Dai withdrew his troops and came to see Zhang Xuan with four or five heads. After seeing Zhang Xuan, he threw his head on the ground. Suddenly it rolled everywhere. The smell of blood made Zhang Xuan also very uncomfortable.
Luo Dai said: "General, every time there is a head here, at least it is also a garrison guerrilla. ”
Zhang Xuan saw Luo Dai's look of asking for credit, and said, "I know, I won't forget your merits." Come on, clean up this place. It's time to get down to business. ”
Zhang Xuan has long been accustomed to such a bloody appearance. He changed his voice and said, "Today's camp is over, how will we fight tomorrow, what do the generals think?" ”
