The Qian army on the water probably didn't expect that this night attack, which they regarded as a top secret, was actually perceived in advance by the Jin army, and put on a posture of waiting for the shore on the shore, so there was obviously some confusion and delay in the approaching ship formation.

Soon, however, behind the Karma army, which had not yet been covered by the firelight, a fierce and violent sound of drums sounded, overpowering all the noise on the shore and on the water, and driving the soldiers to attack.

But in this moment's pause, the most important momentum of the night attack of the Qiang army has disappeared. Especially when the speed of the ship subconsciously slows down, and then wants to completely increase the speed, it will take a long time to accumulate potential, but at the moment, it is only a few miles away from the waterfront, and it is obvious that there is no such opportunity.

On the other hand, the Jin army, due to Gao Zhong's prudence and even the grass and trees, originally summoned the soldiers of the three battalions in advance, and now these soldiers have all been added to the front and began to set up and operate various large-scale defensive ordnance, and the sergeants in the follow-up battalion also left the camp with the sound of drums and orders, and lined up for battle.

At this time, Gao Zhong had already raised his sword to a pavilion with a wide view, and from this position, he could not only overlook the entire water camp, but also the changes in the enemy's formation.

As far as his vision could see, the water was covered with enemy ships, and he alone saw hundreds of them, and the main general's ship, which sounded the sound of drums, was still hidden in the darkness beyond his vision.

According to the scale seen in the field of vision, Gao Zhong estimated that there were at least 10,000 enemies attacking this time, because his mood was also very heavy, and he did not have the slightest joy of expecting the enemy's opportunity.

"Stone-throwing ready, boom!"

With a military order issued, the Jin army front suddenly became active, many trebuchets lay in the defense line like devouring fierce beasts, and at this moment made a heavy squeaky and hideous sound, and then many huge slings of hail smashed into the enemy warships that were even closer, and suddenly there was a crackling sound on the water, the sound of falling into the water, and the roar, and the originally complete enemy ship formation was suddenly smashed into a thousand holes!

Although the warships of the Qiang army were not large, they lacked much flexibility, one because there were too many ships, and they occupied the river side by side, so there was no room to evade from the left and right. Second, although it was late autumn, the water was still good this year, and the current was still fast, and these boats needed to be hooked and roped to avoid being swept away by the current when sailing at night.

As the distance between the two sides narrowed, the Jin army's slings did not need to be deliberately aimed at all, and they hit the ships full of soldiers one after another, although the chaos caused was not small, but the actual casualties were not large, even if the soldiers fell into the water, but they were quickly rescued by the surrounding friendly ships.

The Jin army threw stones, itself did not take killing the enemy as the primary task, mainly to disrupt the enemy's offensive rhythm, push the enemy out of the defense line, and then the bow and crossbow fired, the black pressure of the arrow did not want to be splashed to the already chaotic enemy front, in the light of the coastal fire, you can see that there are constantly arrows in the army and fall into the water.

The night attack was caught off guard, and as the actions of the Jin army were exposed in advance, in the case of the Jin army's strict formation, it can be said that the enemy's night attack this time has had a failed beginning, and there is no meaning that it should have.

Moreover, although Gao Zhong is not a famous general, he can also judge from the various signs of the enemy army that the commander of the army is definitely not a veteran general with rich military experience.

At the very least, a night attack, especially on a battlefield with an open river line, should have been a means of attacking more with less and winning with surprises, and a military town like this must have a careful vigilance arrangement around it, no matter how weak it is, even if it is not carefully perceived by Gao Zhong, if you want to succeed in a surprise attack, there are too many variables to face in it, and it is not a suitable target for a surprise victory.

As a result, the enemy not only rushed straight in, but also a huge crowd of more than 10,000 people, once their whereabouts were revealed, the result was that they rushed to the enemy, and the command of the enemy's response became sluggish and confused, and the original opportunity became a disadvantage.

The situation on the battlefield at this moment is a perfect portrayal of self-defeating, the enemy's front line was ravaged by stones and arrows one after another, and there were many people who fell into the water, there was neither an organized charge counterattack, nor a flexible evasive adjustment, those warships seemed to be numerous in number, but they were completely exposed to the offensive of the Jin army, and in the short quarter of an hour of the war, at least more than 2,000 casualties had occurred.

But these armies are indeed brave, despite such a fierce blow, there is still no large-scale escape and evasion, and there are also people pulling the strings to reflect, but the sparse rain of arrows is not enough to form the lethality of the arrow rain net.

Some other pawns, fortunately rushed through the area that suffered the most severe blows, rushed directly to the Jin army's water camp, held up a thick wooden shield covered with cowhide, and brandished their swords and axes to chop the Jin army's ramming horn erected outside the water gate to resist the battle.

Seeing that the Water Gate was destroyed, Gao Zhong's mind seemed to be tightly grasped, he even jumped off the pavilion watching the battle, personally stepped into the battle formation to control a strong crossbow, and shot at the enemy soldiers who were still chopping and chiseling with a fierce expression: "Kill, kill these Hu Nu!" ”

At this moment, the situation is very obvious against the enemy and us, and it is nothing more than the Jin army exerting all defensive means to prevent the enemy from rushing to the dock water camp, but there is no longer a need for a change of command in the battle.

While manipulating the crossbow machine, Gao Zhong solemnly instructed his soldiers: "Return to the city quickly, and report that the fire oil is here!" ”

Because there are many warships docked in the water camp every day, and there are still many equipment warehouses in the rear, in order to prevent accidents, many fire attack equipment and non-equipment need to be picked up from the city more than ten miles away.

Although the enemy army is still stubbornly resisted on the surface of the river at the moment, Gao Zhong is not optimistic about this, he knows that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the battalion is far inferior to those front-line soldiers of the Wang Division, and the reason why such an amazing lethality has erupted at this moment is mainly due to the various defense structures of the water battalion.

The enemy in front of him will not be able to break through the Jin army's defenses in a short period of time, but if the battle drags on any longer, as the guards lose their physical strength, even with various powerful equipment structures, the lethality will definitely be quickly exhausted. Once the enemy forces are bullied into approaching the dock, there will be a large-scale hand-to-hand encounter, and Tsu will be in a worrying situation tonight!

"Kill, keep killing me! Tonight is lucky not to die, tomorrow praise Heluo, glory ancestors! ”

The slow firing frequency of the crossbow machine could no longer satisfy Gao Zhong's anxious mood at the moment, he directly changed into a strong bow, pulled the string and tapped frequently, and shot at the approaching enemy army, shouting and boosting morale, and his voice quickly became hoarse.

The guards in the battle line also had a look of panic on their faces, and after hearing the general's call, they still pursed their lips one by one, and continued to shoot at the enemy to kill the enemy.

"One Koda, two Koda...... It's worth Lao Tzu's death today, and the children and grandchildren have their own support! No wonder those tiger pawns fought hard to kill the enemy one by one, such a time to sell their lives, such a price to sell their lives......"

There is no shortage of pawns who are still muttering messy words while killing the enemy. Wang Shi has his own merit medal, and even the battalion is specially equipped with a master book directly under the general's mansion to watch the battle directly in the battle array, in addition to the most simple beheading, many tactical requirements are achieved, and they will also be incorporated into the armor to be rewarded.

"Jin'er is full of fierce bones, killing the enemy heroically, and the generals will be able to see it in the future!"

Although the staff officers and chief bookkeepers assigned to the battalion were not responsible for killing the enemy, they were all wandering within the defense line at the moment, shouting to encourage and boost morale. Once the line of defense collapses and the sergeants flee, they are the first to be condemned. Therefore, when these people come to war, they behave more fiercely than those battalion soldiers.

Between such attacks and kills, a small half an hour quickly passed, and the enemy's battle formation, which was originally just blindly rushing, finally underwent some obvious changes.

The enemy's front-line warships, which were originally laid out in rows, were now pushed through a passage from the rear, revealing a fairly large warship, and under the firelight, it could be seen that the armor on the side of the warship was marked, and there were even flags dancing in the wind, which was obviously where the enemy's handsome ship was.

The sound of the drum was paused, and the sound on the battlefield was solemn, and then a black-armored burly figure was revealed on the high platform of the big ship, and with a wave of his arm, a soldier lifted a heavy box on the high platform, and the figure swung a knife and slashed, and the box was cut open, and a dreamlike pearl and jade brilliance flowed from the inside.

Seeing this scene, the originally depressed and tired mood suddenly rose, although the roar of the big ship could not be transmitted to every corner of the noisy battlefield, but the meaning of that, they also understood it, and there was no need to say more.

As the drum beat sounded again, the momentum of the Hu pawns became more violent. On the other hand, the counterattack of the Jin army on the shore has become much softer than before, many trebuchets are either broken or uncontrolled, and some Jin soldiers are even holding on to the high and low fences, tired and retching.

It's not that they didn't do their best, and after a fierce counterattack and resistance, the enemy soldiers killed and wounded had already exceeded their number. The whole camp was very large, and even if there was no fighting in normal times, the guards of less than 5,000 were a little thin.

If you change to an ordinary enemy, after inflicting so many casualties, even if you don't have the military order to retreat, you will have to collapse and flee. But this time there were so many enemies that they had slain, and although they had killed so much, and the corpses and wreckage of the boats were all covered in the open river, there were still a large number of people in the rear, which made them feel hopeless.

The soldiers' physical strength is seriously depleted, and even if they are strong, it is difficult to exert the matching lethality. Gao Zhong's face was also gloomy at this time, and there was no lack of self-blame in his heart, he had recently been too strict because of his nervousness, which also affected the maintenance of the soldier's physical strength to a certain extent.

A truly good general needs to be precise in his ability to strike a balance between prudence and laxity. Gao Zhong did not have such a quality, although he successfully anticipated the enemy's opportunity and waited to crush the enemy's night attack plot, but also caused a lot of unnecessary consumption of the soldiers' physical strength.

Even himself, his arms were swollen at the moment, and he was no longer able to draw the bow. If the soldiers can always maintain sufficient physical strength, even if the large battalion is not defended in the end, it can at least cause more damage to the enemy at the moment.

The enemy army rushed in again, and the atmosphere in the Jin army camp was much more gloomy. Gao Zhong raised his arm, flicked the slingshot string, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, and then said astringently: "Gather with me, enter the formation, dismantle the weapon." ”

In order to prevent these powerful weapons from falling into the hands of thieves, once the camp is close to running out of oil, dismantling and destroying the equipment is the most important task of the guards. And once this order is issued, it means that the most powerful means of attack and killing of the Jin army are abandoned, and then they either fight hand-to-hand battles bravely, or lead their troops to retreat, in short, they are finally finished.

There was no shortage of commanders and generals around, and when they heard Gao Zhong say this, their expressions all darkened, this was the initiative to remove their claws and pull out their teeth, and the situation after that can be imagined. Even though they were unwilling, they were also gloomy when they saw the many soldiers in the defense line who were so tired that they were paralyzed on the ground and couldn't stand up.

"General, ...... afterward"

Someone asked, with the corners of his mouth twitching.

Gao Zhong's face suddenly turned pale at this moment, he raised the palm of his severed finger, put the scar on his forehead, and then seemed to have power poured into his body, he pulled out his sword, made a heroic gesture and laughed: "In previous years, no matter how much nonsense there were, it was all boring, today the old man is crazy, let the children see what real courage is!" ”

In the camp of the Jin army, the fire regiments on the defensive line were extinguished one after another, and the entire front was once again submerged into darkness. Under the cover of night, the sound of equipment being dismantled and collapsed was constantly heard throughout the defense line, and those tired battalion soldiers also dragged their heavy bodies to the war zone where the general was located.

"The only son in the family, the old and the young, are out of the house!"

The soldiers of the camp behind Gao Zhong let out such a roar, and suddenly the entire camp resounded with a dull sob.

"Put away your horse pee, and wait until Lao Tzu's soul returns to the garden, and it's not too late to cry!"

Gao Zhong suddenly roared, and at this time, the sound of crackling and chaotic footsteps sounded in the water gate behind him, and he roared angrily: "Go quickly, go quickly, and tell Shen Hou that Gao is heroic this night, and his life is fast!" The thieves are powerful, and they are cautious to besiege and kill! ”

In the ranks, there are not too many children and daughters, and if they make a gesture at this time, they are joking with their lives. Nearly a thousand soldiers withdrew from the barracks, mounted their horses, and threw fire along the way, and as the fire spread, they rushed down the avenue into the dark night.

More and more Hu pawns rushed into the water camp, and the whole camp was noisy, Gao Zhong stood in the camp, still listening intently to where the noise was loudest, but after a while, he suddenly grinned: "Lao Tzu is going to die, why bother, give them a big gift!" ”

After saying that, he waved his arms and shouted: "Withdraw, abandon the camp, let's go to the warehouse camp to defend!" ”

So the more than 3,000 soldiers who were still left in the battle formation all followed Gao Zhong and went straight to the rear barracks under the cover of night.

After a long time of running and being blocked in front of the water camp, the soldiers thought that there would be a new round of hand-to-hand combat after going ashore, but they did not expect to pounce on the air, and they felt ecstatic for a while, when even if there were many soldiers who went ashore in disregard of the military orders, they rushed directly into the camp of the Jin army.

The Jin army has abundant supplies, and they have long known that if they capture such a fortress at this moment, they will naturally have to grab it in a big way. However, there were still a considerable number of Hu soldiers who occupied the key points of the camp as quickly as possible, and took all kinds of facilities of the Jin army for their own use, and some of the soldiers who were neat and neat and looked like elite soldiers began to sweep the camp to search for the enemy's traces and completely wipe them out.

Nearly half an hour later, although the soldiers of the Jin army gathered in the warehouse camp were also discovered, the enemy army did not attack immediately, but only surrounded it. At this time, the commander of the Qiang army finally docked and boarded the dock.

It was a man in his thirties, with a bearded face but no lack of yin owls between his eyebrows, and he was Shi Xuan, the second son of Zhao Pingyuan Gong and Shi Hu. Shi Xuan stood with his sword in his hand, listening to the sycophants of the generals gathered around him, saying that since the rejuvenation of the country, there has never been such a magnificent victory.

Xingguo is Shi Hu changed the name of the year after entering the Xiangguo, hearing the generals say this, Shi Xuan's bearded and yin owl's face is also filled with a strong joy, this is indeed not a high, in the early years after his father was beaten in the south and fled north, until now, in the confrontation between the north and the south, the country has been at a disadvantage, and has not won such a brilliant victory in an important pass.

Later, when he heard that the search camp was lacking, and at the same time the Jin army was still stationed in the warehouse, Shi Xuan's face was gloomy, and he personally led the crowd to the Jin army trapped division surrounded by regiments, he thought about it and shouted: "Who is the general of the Jin army?" The weak and weak people hinder my vast heavenly army, although they are dim and do not know the destiny of heaven, they are better than the strong and commendable, and they can be bound out of the camp to avoid death! ”

In response to him, he scolded a few angrily: "Shi Jilong is an illegitimate breed of a lowly maid and an animal in my family!" ”

The trapped division of the Jin army, as if agreed, such a vicious curse, like a slogan, echoed loudly in this piece of world,

When Shi Xuan heard this scolding, he was immediately furious, and suddenly shouted: "Kill me, not a single one will be left alive!" That southern thief general, I'm going to skin and flesh him! ”

The army immediately launched an attack, and more than 10,000 people surrounded the place and advanced all the way. Although the Jin army in the middle was tired, the resistance was also fierce. Shi Xuan followed the army and slowly walked in, seeing that the mud all over the ground was watered with blood and water, Rao is himself a cruel and vicious person, and he was still shocked by the tenacity of the Jin army.

With such a victory locked, the battle still continued until dawn, and although the Jin army was divided and scattered, it still stubbornly held seven or eight warehouses.

At dawn, the Jin army on the opposite side finally shouted that they were willing to surrender. Shi Xuan originally didn't want to pay attention to this, but a general reported that the losses this time were really heavy, and the search camp was not very good, presumably the heavy goods of the Jin army were still stored in these warehouses.

"The dog thief is poor, so he comes to be bound? That's it, let's keep him alive, I'm going to skin him alive and give it to the southern thief Shen Weizhou to make clothes! ”

Shi Xuan smiled cruelly and ordered the attack to be postponed, so that those trapped Jin troops would come out and surrender. And he was also surrounded by heavy troops, and slowly marched towards the barn where the general of the Jin army was. After weighing it in his heart, he still decided to temporarily restrain his ferocity, first show a little good, and find out more about the future defense arrangements of the Jin army from his mouth, so that the army can enter the army later.

After the fighting stopped, the Jin army surrounded by more than 100 people, and the bloodied Jin army stood at the door of the barn, and as the surrounding sergeants dispersed, Shi Xuan and Gao Zhong looked at each other.

Seeing Gao Zhong's blood-stained appearance, Shi Xuan's eyes flashed, and he was about to shout from afar, when he suddenly heard the opposite Jin general shouting: "The master of the Jin army and beasts, and he is also worthy of my Jin Er's strong man!" ”

With a loud roar, smoke billowed from the barn behind him.

Seeing this scene, Shi Xuan knew that he had been tricked, but compared to the death of Gao Zhong and other remnants, he was even more heartbroken for those goods that were about to be burned out, and he was busy roaring: "Quickly kill the remaining thieves and rescue the goods!" ”

Although there are some goods in the warehouse, the stock is not much, but the things that Gao Zhong sent from the city to ignite the fire before, which have not come in handy at the dock before, are now stored in these warehouses that they are guarding.

Seven or eight fires ignited together, and instantly rushed out of those barns, Gao Zhong stood at the door of the barn, watching the hideous enemy soldiers continue to rush here, but those soldiers did not have time to approach, but their figures were already drowned out by the tongues of fire that burst out behind them, and those Hu pawns were blocked by the fierce heat wave, and they all retreated.

"Life is a strong bone, death is a heroic soul! If you go to Huangquan here, you will destroy the soul of the dragon! ”

The cries faded and the fire spread.
