0762 This battle is decided
In the middle of the night, the physical wear and tear of the slaves was also serious. Even if many of the slaves did not directly participate in the battle, for these non-waterless slaves, just floating on the river in the middle of the night was enough to make the experience terrifying. At this time, the land is close at hand, not only for victory, but also for the focus of this terrifying journey.
Therefore, there was no need for the commanders to be encouraged by their promises, and a large number of slave soldiers had already risen to the occasion, paddling desperately with oars and oars, and the sampan they rode was as fast as an arrow off the string, and went directly to the shore. Some boats rushed directly onto the embankment, and the momentum of the forward rush was still not exhausted, and the bilge grazed the ground and crashed several kilometers away.
In this process, there are many slave soldiers who were lifted and thrown away by the huge force, or fell directly into the Huainan saber and gun battle array and were miserably divided, or fell back into the river, and were crushed to death by the ships that followed the rushing formation. Or someone who grabbed the side deck of the ship and luckily did not fall off the ship, but they were also so jolted by that great force that they couldn't stand.
But such a crazy rush into battle is self-effective, if they attack calmly and calmly, the Huainan army can still hold the ground, and the coast is divided and confronted. But now, with flesh and blood, how can they stop those ships with sharp inertia, and the original battle formation can only retreat in a hurry. Those sampans and boats that rushed ashore became a natural barrier of their own, giving the successor division a foothold on the riverbank.
Originally, this was just a spontaneous move by the slave soldiers who were eager to land on the shore, but after seeing this scene, the commanders of the successor slave army began to take the initiative to give orders to drive. The slave army was not tolerant of water warfare, and they did not care much about the things of the boats. In the middle of the night, although they were blocked by the Huainan army on the river, they still did not lose their conceit, and they felt that after rushing ashore, the situation would be very good, and they could directly take Shouchun by killing all the way, and they did not have to think about the problem of the back road at all.
This kind of tactics is almost self-harming, although the Huainan army was forced out of the battle formation, but the casualties caused to themselves are also huge. However, there are still survivors, and the feeling of steadiness when stepping on the land is like a world away, and it is difficult to attack at the moment, and because of those boats and boats, it is difficult for the Huainan army to attack and kill for a while.
Soon, more and more slaves gathered on the shore, and there was no need for the successors to charge so violently. When the commanders of the successor troops calmly landed on the shore, they began to order the soldiers to set up their positions, and they began to gradually expand the front.
When there were no more desperate rushes on the shore, the Huainan army also stabilized the line and pressed back again, trying to force these slaves back into the water again. And although the slave soldiers are close to the end of the crossbow, the resistance is still stubborn. It is not necessary to say how strong the fighting spirit is, but I do not want to retreat into the annoying and disgusting waves.
"The reinforcements from the back road are coming in an instant, and the first to ascend can be obtained steadily!"
The slave generals also burst out with strong enthusiasm at this time, and after rectifying the drape, they personally led the soldiers of the descendants to the forefront to fight hard, and one by one seemed to take root under their feet, and did not make the slightest retreat at all.
Nearly 30,000 soldiers were involved in the rush battle, and it was true that they suffered heavy casualties, because the battle was lawless, and nearly half of them, including the boats, were lost, but they finally managed to gain a foothold on the other side. As long as you can hold your foothold for a while, there are still 20,000 people on the north bank who can continue to replenish the battle, which is enough to gallop Huainan and attack Shouchun directly!
The slave soldiers may not be able to understand the tactical goal, but the tragic scene in the river bay after dawn also makes them know that retreating is a dead end, and only by fighting on the river bank can they fight with the southerners for a long time, rather than falling into the water in the river to raise fish and shrimp. Moreover, when they landed, the boats on the river had already returned to ship with reinforcements, and they had become a desperate situation.
Shen Zhezi personally beat the drum to set the military momentum, and he was also deeply aware of the energy that burst out of this group of desperate slaves. At present, the war is already extremely tragic, and at the end of the slave army's strong crossbows, there are many people who have lost their weapons when fighting, and they directly hold oars or meet the enemy empty-handed. There is no shortage of slave soldiers, after the addition of swords and guns, they will not look back until death.
Although the Huainan Army also fought in the middle of the night, it still relied on the previous careful arrangements to defeat the enemy, so it can be regarded as waiting for work. But when besieging and killing this group of desperate people, the march is still difficult, and often after swords and guns, the slave soldiers have to hold on to those blades when they are dying, thinking that they will resist stubbornly.
There is a great terror between life and death, whether it is the Jin people or the Hu people, all the people are inevitable. At present, the slave army is at an absolute disadvantage, and the Quartet is in a desperate situation, but instead of collapsing, it has exploded with great potential. However, Shen Zhezi did not have any admiration for these slave soldiers, but he was even more disgusted, and felt that if he did not exterminate this group of poor people, the world would never be peaceful.
Similar fierce battles did not only take place in Feikou, but the attack on Kip Stone City was much more fierce, especially the one where Shen Yun was stationed on the north bank. The terrain here is already extremely dangerous, but it does not allow for more decoration. Previously, after a period of temptation, the slave army launched a fierce attack to take this choke fortress.
Although this city hangs on the north shore alone, it was previously replenished directly on the water surface, and the ground was extremely dangerous, even if Shi Hu's hundreds of thousands of troops came before, they did not take it, and it was still in the hands of the Huainan army. But now the slave army is relying on the prosperity of the boats, and directly forced back a few Huainan army warships that were planning between the two cities, surrounded by land and water, and directly trapped Kip Stone City into a Jedi!
The Huaishui waterway here is narrowed to the extreme, once the north city is lost, the slave army can take this as a starting point to form a truss on the river surface, and the soldiers will be continuously invested in the south bank, so it is also a place that must be defended. The slave army has no obstacle here, so it can unscrupulously invest more troops, a small city less than a few zhang wide, the hillside outside is already surrounded by nearly 10,000 enemies, the head of the city looks down, almost no ground, all black and oppressive human heads!
Although there were only a thousand defenders in the city, because of the absolute geographical advantage, the early attack of the slave army was not a problem at all. Therefore, the defense in the first half of the night was also more than calm, thousands of soldiers were divided into three teams, if the slave soldiers approached, or lead the string to shoot, or throw stones to block, not only can they repel the enemy on land, but even the slave ships on the river can take into account, and throw fire to resist.
However, with the consumption of material reserves, the calm attitude gradually ceases to exist. In order to preserve enough counterattack power, Shen Yun did not dare to spend more materials, so the slave army was able to bully the city on a large scale and directly destroy the city wall. When the slave army gathers to a certain scale, and then a large number of stones and boiling soup are tilted down, such as the third, it also makes the slave army dare not unscrupulously bully.
But this does not mean that the slave army completely gave up Kip Stone City, but directly built an arrow tower on the mountain beam not far from the city, because of its large number of people, although it can not directly build a strong city, but it is not difficult to catch up with the height of the wall of Kip Stone City. In just one hour, several towering arrow towers had been built and began to shoot at each other, and the Huainan army suffered casualties as a result.
When the counterattack of the Huainan army was suppressed, the slave army began to invade again, and directly built a climbing ladder dam with earth and stone according to the city wall. In this process, Shen Yun led hundreds of soldiers directly out of the city to rush and kill, because the slave army was unprepared, and made a great gain, causing some trouble to the slave army.
But similar attacks could not be done again, and not long after, the slave army built several ladder dams together, and began to arrange for soldiers to leap and rush to the city, and the city defense was in danger for a while. Shen Yun was no longer able to stay, and a large number of rolling wood and stones were carried to the head of the city and pushed down frantically, and soon the corpses of the slaves were stacked under the city wall. The huge casualties made the Denu soldiers timid because of this, and temporarily slowed down the offensive.
The fortification lasted until the dawn of the city, and although the casualties on the city, including Shen Yun, were not many, the loss of physical strength was already extremely serious, and it was even necessary to lean on the female wall to gain a foothold in the city.
After daybreak, the attack of the slave army became more violent, several arrow towers were fired frequently, and several ladders were pushed under the city walls for the slaves to climb. Many of the slaves shouted and climbed upward, and the defenders did not even have time to carry their slings to the top of the city, but each held a section of the wall and swept away the enemy with spears and spears.
Shen Yunzheng led the crowd to fight a fierce battle at the head of the city, and suddenly heard the applause of the slave army under the city, and said that the city defense had been destroyed, and hurriedly went around the city to watch for a week, and then found that the rear of the slave soldiers besieging the city began to retreat, and the tens of thousands of slave troops withdrew most of them in a very short period of time, and began to assemble on the riverbank in the distance.
"Could it be that Feikou has been lost?"
When Shen Yun saw this scene, he was shocked, on the other hand, all the soldiers in the vicinity were depressed, and their morale was low for a while. On the contrary, the thousands of slave soldiers who remained here under the city were already excited, and shouted loudly while continuing to attack: "The fat mouth has been broken by the army, and Shouchun will capture it in a moment, and the recalcitrant thieves will not descend quickly!" ”
Hearing the roar of the slave army, the morale of the city was even more depressed, and many soldiers even stopped moving, looking at Shen Yun with blank eyes, as if they were asking for advice, they were either not afraid of fighting to the death, but if even Feikou and Shouchun were lost, what was the point of them resisting here?
"My brother is helped, and it is impossible to be defeated by slaves! The slaves are fat-mouthed and die, because they are sending other aid, and they only deceive the gallless rats with this deception, how can the righteous warriors and martyrs in Jiangdong be bewitched by this! ”
Seeing the state of the soldiers, Shen Yun had no time to think, and immediately roared, and directly pounced on the slave soldiers who had already climbed the corner of the city wall, and the spear in his hand pierced out like a poisonous snake, piercing the throat of one slave soldier and still not exhausting, and nailing one person to the city wall with a chest and abdomen. He then withdrew his hand and drew his saber, swinging his sword to disembowel another slave. The slave army of the city wall panicked and avoided because of its bravery, and even fell directly to the head of the city.
"Yingkou is dead, how can the crowd survive lightly shake the formation of the horses! Slave skills are poor......"
When the rest of the Huainan soldiers heard this, they saw this state, and the hesitation in their hearts was also swept away, and they continued to run to the city to kill outside.
"These southern thieves are still lucky! Later conquer this city, capture the thief, and I will personally behead him and present him to the king!" ”
The slave army naturally knew that Feikou had made a great breakthrough, and the soldiers in the front had landed on the shore to defend it, so they sent the army from the north bank to the south bank to hunt for the war. At this time, the slave army left here did not have this opportunity, the previous slave general Li Su could not fight, and his heart was already indignant and resentful, hearing the Huainan army so stubbornly roaring, the irritability could not help but be more intense, and the soldiers continued to attack.
The success of the Feikou seizure was carried out, and the slave troops on the north shore were greatly encouraged and rejoiced. Previously, Yingkou was defeated in a hurry and confused, both the generals and ordinary soldiers were unwilling, and the battle that was originally bound to be won was actually thwarted by the treacherous tricks of the southerners, and at this moment there was finally a chance to take revenge.
Of course, revenge is secondary, at the moment Huaishui can no longer be blocked, as long as the river is crossed, the generals can hunt their merits, the soldiers can plunder their goods, up and down the same heart, for a time the momentum can be said to have climbed to the extreme, have gathered on the riverside near the crossing, as soon as the boat arrives on the shore, they all wade to board the boat, lest they fall behind. As for the amount of losses in the previous battle, no one cares at all at the moment, and it is not a pity that those people died on the eve of the competition, but because there are many fewer competitors, it can really be called a pleasure.
Due to the large number of soldiers vying to board the ships, these boats were seriously overloaded, and the speed of the ships was inevitably a little slow. But the morale is so available, the generals are not good at blocking and corrupting the momentum, and the Feikou camp has already been destroyed and destroyed, so it is not enough to hinder it, and the soldiers can be transported across the river as soon as possible, just so that they can launch an attack on Shouchun as soon as possible and achieve great success.
However, although the slave army was eager to fight, the boats and boats were restricted, and the battle of Feikou was too unrestrained and added a lot of unnecessary damage, and the strength of the slaves was seriously defeated, so they would rather fall into the river than dare to be used by slaves again, and there was no shortage of warships that were directly abandoned on the river and flowed with the waves.
Therefore, less than half of the more than 20,000 slave troops gathered on the north shore were able to board the ship as soon as possible. Seeing the warships carrying the lucky ones to the south of the land of merit, the slaves who had been temporarily abandoned on the shore could not help but be angry and cursed.
These slaves probably hadn't heard of the idea of good and bad together, but soon reality would give them the answer. Just as these slave soldiers were still pointing at the warships that were already approaching the center of the river and shouting and urging, soon some slaves noticed that a large number of boats and boats appeared on the waves in the west, and their eyes couldn't help but light up, and they didn't even have time to shout and remind the soldiers near that they had already rushed towards the place, lest they would not be able to successfully board the ship this time.
This batch of warships came very quickly, and at first there were some black spots, but soon they grew into concrete outlines. There was no shortage of slave soldiers running at the front, and they were already a little suspicious, and they had not heard that the army still had boats and boats to keep in that direction. But they didn't wonder for long, and without a twist, the flags waving in the wind on the ships told them the answer.
"That's, that'...... The water army of the southerners! The southerners' navy is back......"
Hearing this roar, the slave army, which was already scattered due to the battle for the crossing, could not help but become more chaotic, and no longer had the previous wanton madness, and did not dare to meet the opposite boat again without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and a large number of slave soldiers turned around and fled north, lest they repeat the mistakes of Yingkou before. On the way to escape, some slave soldiers found that the Nanren naval army ignored them at all, but rushed directly to the warship on the river, and the panic decreased slightly for a while, and even the joy of schadenfreude rippled in their hearts.
At this time, the sky was already bright, the river had a wide field of vision, and the appearance of the Huainan Navy naturally could not hide the slave troops who had boarded the ship to cross the south. At this time, the fervent desire of the slave soldiers to fight for merit and capture the goods was gone, and the warships were all floating and sinking because of the hasty rush of the soldiers.
In fact, the southerner warships are still far away, and it will take a certain amount of time to reach here, but at present, the slave warships are already overloaded and moving slowly, coupled with the shadows in their hearts, and there are even many soldiers who directly compete for the oars and oars and sway to return to the sea, so the situation is even more chaotic, and more than half of the boats are stagnant in the river and cannot advance or retreat.
"Beat the drums, attack! All slaves on the river are not allowed to land on the shore! ”
Huainan's return to the naval army this time was not all of Runan, but Han Huang's department, which was originally responsible for defending Rukou, and when the war in Runan was decided, he immediately returned home. There were not many soldiers of the returned warships, one big ship Chang'an, and more than a dozen fighting ships and warships, barely 5,000 soldiers. However, due to the strong image established by the Huainan Navy before, once it appeared on the battlefield, the slave army could not be at ease.
In fact, at this time, the direction of Feikou is also in jeopardy. The slave troops who were stuck along the Feikou coast were completely stubborn with their lives, and although the casualties continued to increase, the Huainan army's offensive was also difficult. Especially seeing that the slave army's backup boats and ships were gradually approaching Feikou, and the morale was declining, the Huainan army's attack was far less fierce than it was at the beginning. Once the slave army reinforced ashore, the blow to morale was undoubtedly huge.
At this time, in order to motivate the soldiers to use their lives, even Shen Zhezi personally went to the battle formation, leading his cronies to the enemy formation, although he was not known for his bravery, but he also killed several slave soldiers with his own hands, and there were dots of blood splashed on his armor.
At present, there are less than 2,000 slave soldiers stationed on the shore, but as the reinforcements are gradually approaching, the fighting spirit is still higher than when they landed before, and they are obviously at a disadvantage, but there is no shortage of brave soldiers who are roaring forward and rushing to kill, and they have even expanded the battle line a little.
However, with the appearance of the Huainan naval army on the river, the mood that had reached the peak of the high-profile collapsed abruptly, and the reinforcements that were gradually approaching actually stagnated on the river.
All the hope and bright prospects collapsed in an instant, those stubborn slave soldiers didn't even know how to express the emotions of the ups and downs at this moment, their mouths let out a desperate roar almost like a beast, and they felt the loneliness of being abandoned by heaven and earth, the power that originally supported their battle was withdrawn in an instant, the river floated at night, the shore fought for a long time, vitality and hope suddenly became empty, some slave soldiers simply rolled their eyes, paralyzed on the ground, unconscious!
Many more abandoned their weapons, hid their faces and began to cry. A moment ago, it was like a wolf and a tiger, but now it seems that he has experienced the most cruel humiliation and abuse in the world, and he is weak and painful.
"This battle is decided, and the soldiers will sort out this merit!"
Shen Zhezi's heartstrings had always been tense before, worried that Runan would not be able to return in time, and even planned to transfer the defenders in Shouchun City, but as Han Huang's warship appeared in the river's field of vision, a hanging heart finally settled down. In addition to being overjoyed, he threw away the bloodstained lance in his hand, wiped off the blood stains on his hands, and said with a smile to the soldiers nearby.
It's just that in addition to being happy, he also looked at the east with a sad look, this battle Shi Hu did not come to command in person, it is impossible that he is unwilling to return to the sad place because he was beaten out of the shadow in Yingkou, and it is more likely that he went down the whirlpool directly from the county. Whether the vortex can be successfully held in such a place, I really dare not be optimistic.
