(2nd Update)

The main force of the Southern Expedition guarded the pro-army, with a total of about 70,000 soldiers, and the rest were sailors, including the Jiangling Naval Division and the Yangzhou Naval Division, with more than 30,000 soldiers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are 5,000 ships of various types, nearly half of which are used to transport grain, grass and baggage.

There is also a considerable number of ships with only shipwrights to control the boats, and there are no soldiers.

100,000 soldiers, 5,000 ships, and an average of 20 soldiers per ship. From this, it can be seen how much "surplus" and "idleness" the ship has. But these "redundant" and "idle" ships were of great use after the war.

Needless to say, let's say that Wang Shi landed in the area of Red Bay, laid down 30,000 horse infantry troops, and countless baggage of all kinds, and the landing process alone lasted for a long time.

These 30,000 soldiers of the Mabu Army will go north to attack Zhenzhou (Huizhou) a hundred miles away, and then pass through Boluo City, advance two or three hundred miles to the west, and attack Panyu by land, echoing with the sailors who entered the mouth of the Yujiang River.

The main general Ma Huaiyuan, and the deputy general have two of the former "Three Masters of the Martial Arts Academy" - Shi Yanchao and Li Yanlin, and the generals Zhou Xiaoquan and Ma Xiaodao.

Guo Wei, who led the main force to march to the mouth of the Yujiang River, said goodbye to Ma Huaiyuan on the coast, "The Lingnan thief army knows that our naval division is strong and well-guarded, and it has a heavy army in Zhenzhou, and the general is cautious, and the commander is waiting for good news." ”

"Don't worry!" Ma Huaiyuan hugged his fists, "There are many islands in the mouth of the Yujiang River, and the Lingnan sailors will use them as a barrier to deal with our sailors. ”

After a little talk, the two separated, Guo Wei took the main force of the sailor to sail, sailed into the sea, and headed south.

Ma Huaiyuan climbed high and looked, within a radius of several miles, there were all Wang Shijia soldiers assembled in a unit of 500 people and a command, as well as a mountain of various baggage, as well as countless carriages, the people were full of voices, and the excitement was extraordinary.

It is worth noting that nine out of ten of the soldiers were all brainstorming -- the soldiers who landed here were basically impassable and seasick. It was precisely because they were impassable and seasick that they could not participate in the naval battle at the mouth of the Yujiang River, so they could only turn to land combat.

Sailing on the sea, although avoiding many mountains, must also pay a corresponding price.

It will take at least three days for these soldiers to recover.

But the Lingnan Army will not give them this time.

"Report!" Scout Detective.

"Say!" Ma Huaiyuan stood still.

"There are more than 5,000 thieves and horses, and they are rushing forward, and they are less than thirty miles away!" Scout Reports.

"Probe!" Ma Huaiyuan's tone was calm.

"Yes!"

"Call Ma Xiaodao to see you!" Ma Huaiyuan ordered.

From time to time, Ma Xiaodao and Zhou Xiaoquan rushed over, and when they heard the scout's report, the two looked solemn.

"Red Bay is a good place to land, and it is not an unpredictable march route to march to Panyu through Zhenzhou, and the Zhenzhou thief army must have heavy troops nearby. Our army landed here, it is impossible to hide from Zhenzhou's eyeliner, now the army has just landed on the shore, it is the time to be dizzy, the bow can not be pulled, the horse can not be ridden, almost no combat power, if the thief army is killed into the formation, the army can basically not resist. ”

Ma Huaiyuan briefly analyzed the situation, "The reason why the thief army did not set up an ambush along the coast and prevent our army from landing on the shore was to wait for this opportunity. When all my soldiers had landed on the shore, and before they could breathe, the thieves came on a large scale, just to give me a fatal blow. In this case, the master of the thief army will not be a mediocre. ”

"I just received a report from the Military Intelligence Department, and it was Su Zhang who was stationed in Zhenzhou." Ma Xiaodao responded.

"I see." Ma Huaiyuan showed a look of surprise, "I heard that he is a good general." ”

After that, Ma Huaiyuan looked at Ma Xiaodao, "Have you arranged the layout?" ”

"The general can rest assured, everything has been arranged, and it will be completed in another hour." Ma Xiaodao showed a treacherous smile, "As long as the thief army dares to come, keep it so that they will not return!" ”

"Take me to see it." Ma Huaiyuan didn't dare to be careless.

The northwest corner of the Red Bay, the terrain is relatively flat, a little to the north for a distance, is a mountain pass, Zhenzhou soldiers and horses attack, is from the north of the mountain pass, south out of the mountain pass.

At this time, there were hundreds of soldiers busy in front of the mountain pass road, they dug small pits with shovels, buried iron balls in them, and then left the leads, countless leads were bundled together, gathered in one place, and extended far away.

Clearly, they are laying mines.

These hundreds of soldiers are not seasick, and there are also scouts who are not seasick. Of the 30,000 soldiers here, about one or two thousand were not seasick -- of course, before landing, the army sent scouts to investigate everywhere, and if there were thieves in ambush nearby, the army would inevitably send energetic soldiers to the shore first, so as to create a safe place for the army.

Ma Huaiyuan carefully inspected and found no problems, so he showed a satisfied look, "The safety of the army is all related to this, and you must not be careless." ”

"Don't worry, the general has tried countless times a long time ago, and there is no mistake in keeping it."

At this time, thirty miles to the north, an army of about 5,000 foot cavalry was rushing in the direction of Red Bay.

Approaching Red Bay, the army halted and rested in order to prepare for the coming battle while waiting for the scouts to report.

"Report! Outside the mountains and by the sea, the Tang army is gathering! ”

"Is there any movement?"

"The assembly is very panicked, it should have been learned that our army is coming, and the general's scolding is endless!"

"How are the officers and men of the Tang Army?"

"Slow movements, bitter complaints, like drunkenness, seem chaotic!"

"Good!"

The main general of this Zhenzhou army was greatly shaken, "Report the situation here to General Su!" ”

"What should I do?" The adjutant asked.

"Naturally, it is to kill the mountain pass and establish meritorious deeds!" The generals did not hesitate, and then sneered, "The Tang army is really too arrogant, thinking that if you capture Fujian, you can also capture my Lingnan?" It's a dream! Coming by boat and landing on the shore in a big way, when the Zhenzhou army is all deaf and stupid, how can I not know? Do they really think that they are at the peak of their armor and invincible in the world, and our Zhenzhou army does not dare to take the initiative to come forward to fight? It's arrogant! This time, the Tang Army was when the soldiers were tired and weak, and you and I went out of the mountain, just to let this generation see the strength of my Zhenzhou Army. Hmph, let's see if Ben doesn't drive them all out into the sea and let them all feed the fish! ”

"The general is wise!" The adjutant general praised.

Five thousand soldiers and horses, resting for a while, immediately rushed forward with the whole army.

On the coast, Ma Huaiyuan climbed to a high place and gazed at the mountain pass.

Ma Xiaodao admired the "performance" of the soldiers on the coast, and said with a smile: "General, these guys are very good at pretending, this play is really good, even I have to believe it, look at that Shi Yanchao...... Hey, straight thief, is this guy really whipping people with a horsewhip? ”

Zhou Xiaoquan said coldly on the side: "If the thief army is not successful, what should it do?" ”

"It's nothing if you don't get it, our army is resting steadily, and after these two days, the army has regained its strength, and naturally those who come are not afraid." When Ma Huaiyuan finished saying this, his eyes suddenly froze, and he heard a tremor coming from the mountain pass. Not long after, the Zhenzhou army showed its head, and then rushed out in a big way!

"It's coming!"

At a distance in front of the mountain pass, a large number of Tang troops gathered, but the assembly was indeed not the same, and the soldiers were not in a state of bowing their heads, but they were not pretending. Only the two commanding battle formations at the front are the soldiers who really have combat power. But in the face of the impact of the 5,000-foot cavalry of the Zhenzhou army, these two commanders were really difficult to resist.

The smoke and dust were billowing out, and the Zhenzhou army rode out of the mountain pass, making a tidal shouting sound of killing, and went straight to the Tang army crowd to kill.

Beside the pass, a flag fell, signaling that the mine fuse had been ignited.

Time has passed so long at this moment, it is impossible to wait.

"This ...... The Zhenzhou army rushed out in a big way, and it won't step on the lead, right? Zhou Xiaoquan's eyes were fixed on the mountain pass.

"No!" Ma Xiaodao's tone was firm, "The passage has been dug underground, and the leads are all placed in a special iron cylinder, no matter how hard the horse hooves of the Zhenzhou Army are, it is impossible to step on the iron cylinder!" ”

Having said that, Ma Xiaodao also looked nervous, after all, the stakes were high.

The Tang Army, which has always been like a tiger and wolf, is like a lamb to be slaughtered at this time, facing a ferocious attack from a group of hungry wolves.

"Why hasn't it sounded yet?" Ma Xiaodao swallowed with difficulty.

With a bang, Zhou Xiaoquan pulled out his horizontal knife, his eyes were resolute, and he turned around and beckoned his own soldiers, "Follow me to ......"

Before the words fell, there was a boom, and thunder fell from the sky.

A thunderclap fell, and a hundred thunderclaps rang out.

Shattered earth and rocks burst out, and fiery red light suddenly appeared.

Clusters of flames burst out in the ranks of the Zhenzhou Army.

The Zhenzhou army suddenly turned on their backs, howling miserably, and the queue was torn apart.

The roaring explosion covered a vast area of 100 paces wide and 1,000 paces long.

The clouds of fire rose from the ground and went up to 90,000 miles.

The flying earth and rocks, the bursting firelight, make it impossible to see the situation inside at all.

Only the severed limbs and wreckage flew out in all directions, and only the flowers of blood kept blooming.

Flesh and blood covered in sand.

The two commanding officers and soldiers of the Tang Army in front of the mountain pass were all squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. The follow-up 30,000 soldiers looked at the mountain pass with disgust.

It seemed like a long time, and then it seemed like only a moment, when the explosions stopped, the fire dissipated, and the dust settled.

The ground was full of severed limbs and wreckage, and countless internal organs, soaked in pools of blood, like withered yellow fallen leaves, like scattered dandelions. There are endless corpses in sight, wailing soldiers struggling unconsciously, some people crying out in despair while holding their intestines, some people looking at their broken legs and losing their souls, and some crawling and crying to find their broken arms.

In a scorched earth, sporadic fires were extinguished, and flags and blades were scattered in potholes. The blood kept flowing in all directions, into small streams, into small rivers, into lakes, and bursts of pungent gunpowder smells, mixed with the smell of blood, wrapped in the breath of death, enveloping this side of the world.

War is the creation of hell on earth.

War is to make people suffer so much that they cannot live in peace even if they become ghosts.

The birds flew in fright, and could not bear to hear the howls of the waves.

Liuyun closed his eyes, unable to bear to see the shattered people.

Five thousand Zhenzhou foot riders, most of the dead and wounded, the rest were terrified and could no longer move their feet.

Ma Huaiyuan drew his sword and shouted, "Dying, kill!" Resistant, kill! Runaways, kill! Heal the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and set up camp! ”

The one who is a general is the one who stands on the top of hell, the one whose heart is as hard as iron.
