Chapter 857: Collision

"Is there any information about Chen Pojun?" Before the generals set off, Shen Luoyan asked with some unease in his heart. //.//

"The latest information is that Chen Pojun has already left the capital Luoyang and moved to Taiyuan to supervise the battle." The general in charge of intelligence hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about Chen Pojun, now he is doing his best to deal with the Turks." The minister received information that just a few days ago, two more Turkic armies had arrived in Dingxiang to join the Tongyehu Khan. The Turks now have nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses in Dingxiang, and there are still two lines of soldiers and horses that have not yet arrived. Now Chen Kefu is not comfortable, more than 300,000 Turkic cavalry are at the door of his home, it is estimated that it is difficult to sleep and eat, how can he still be in the mood to care about the situation in the south. ”

"Are you sure that Chen Pojun will not lead the army south? Huaisi's Chen army has already crossed the Yangtze River, if Chen Kefu feels that Huaisi is empty at this time, sends troops to reinforce Huaisi, and even wants to send troops to reinforce Jiangdong and occupy Jiangdong permanently, then our plan may have an accident. Shen Luoyan said a little worriedly. Strategizing in the middle of the battle, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, but the key is to have sufficient and reliable information. The key to her plan this time is that Chen Jun is already empty in the Huaisi area. If this happens, the outcome of the whole plan may change.

Du Fuwei sneered: "Chen Pojun is not a god, we have such a careful plan, and even calculated the possibility of Jiankang City being lost, how could Chen Pojun know?" What's more, for Chen Kefu, at the moment, Lu Shishen has just won a big victory in Jianghan, defeated Dong Chun, captured Jiangling, and robbed five counties. Here, Hu Hai entered Jiangdong again, stirring Jiangdong into a mess. In any case, the current situation is that Chen's army has the upper hand, and his biggest opponent now is the Turks with an army of 300,000. How could they still transfer troops to the south at this time? If it were me. I will do my best to deal with the Turks, and I will no longer be distracted by Jiangnan in the good situation of Jiangnan. ”

Wenchen Li Baiyao, who was sitting below, shook his head slightly when he heard this. Who is Chen Pojun? Chen Pojun has been in less than ten years, but he has fought hundreds of battles and single-handedly defeated half of the country. Sweep Liaodong. Waving Hebei, advancing into the Central Plains, several books are invincible, and many times they are winning more with less, and defeating the strong with the weak. He has fought more battles in a few years than the other famous generals in the entire Great Sui have won combined.

This man, known as the God of War, cannot be inferred from common sense at all. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary person, it would be impossible to fight the Turks so hardly. It is even more unlikely that at the same time as the decisive battle with the Turks, two large-scale battles were launched in the south at the same time. However, Li Baiyao was originally Sui Chen. At the beginning, he was also forcibly recruited by Shen Faxing as a staff member. And in the Wu army. His status is not very high, so he only shakes his head in his heart. But nothing was said.

Shen Luoyan pondered for a while, and finally felt that Du Fuwei's words were reasonable, at this time, Chen Kefu was not an immortal, how could he have expected this trap she set thousands of miles away. Even if he knew, Jiankang was thousands of miles away from Taiyuan, and he couldn't come to his aid for a while.

Letting go of the worries in his heart, Shen Luoyan's eyes were full of brilliance, he stood up, pulled out the Han sword at his waist, and said in a clear voice: "Let's go!" ”

The night was cold, and the early winter night in October was already a little chilly.

Under the cold moonlight, a group of cavalry rode south.

"Whoever comes, get off the horse and get off the horse!" On Liyang City, an important town in Jiangbei, the captain on patrol shouted loudly.

The cavalry under the city stopped their horses, and one of the officers took out an object and shouted loudly: "This official is the golden-armored imperial guard beside His Majesty, carrying His Majesty's urgent secret order, and report to Liyang Shou to see you in the future!" ”…,

After the defending officers in the city put down the hanging basket and connected the token of the golden armor imperial guard to verify that it was true, they did not dare to delay for half a minute at the moment, and immediately invited Chen Shan, the governor of Anhui who had moved from Hefei to Liyang.

"Governor Chen, Your Majesty's secret order, immediately send someone to Jiangdong and tell Governor Hu Hai that they have fallen into the trap of the Wu army! His Majesty ordered the attack on Jiankang to be suspended, and all the soldiers and horses retreated to the two major ferries of Quarry and Jingkou, and held on with all their might. His Majesty has led an army of 90,000 to the south to reinforce them, so they must hold out until His Majesty's reinforcements arrive. In any case, you must first hold the ferry! ”

After Chen Shan received Chen Kefu's handwritten secret order to read it, he was also shocked, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he saw the situation in Jiangdong analyzed by Chen Kefu. Thinking of the danger that the 70,000 troops crossing the river might be surrounded and annihilated at any time, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Before being in the game, he couldn't see the situation clearly, but at this time, Chen Kefu understood a little bit, and he immediately understood the danger here. If things really come to that point, it will not only be the 70,000 Chen army that will be destroyed, but the entire situation in the southeast of Dachen may change.

"Someone is coming, the general will order, immediately order the five thousand soldiers and horses in Liyang City, and immediately notify the sailor brothers of Liyang Water Village, so that they can prepare immediately. An hour later, Ben Shuai immediately led 5,000 men and horses to reinforce the quarry. In addition, immediately find a few reliable brothers, immediately copy His Majesty's secret decree in several copies, and immediately send it to the cities of Quarry, Jiankang, Jingkou, and Jiangdu, so that the brothers of all departments can get ready! ”

Liyang, as an important town in Jiangbei opposite to quarrying, originally had a lot of soldiers and horses, but now, after repeated transfers, there are only thousands of people left in this important town. Chen Shan gave an order, and Liyang City suddenly woke up completely and got busy, and countless soldiers put on armor and held sharp, assembled in formation, and prepared to go.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, in various parts of Jiangdong, the three major armies of the Huainan Army, the Zhennan Army, and the South Vietnamese Army had already set out with their whole armies and marched rapidly toward the goal that had already been drawn up. Shan Xiongxin attacked quarrying, Du Fuwei attacked Jiankang, and Li Zitong attacked Jingkou.

The 50,000 Zhennan army led by Shan Xiongxin marched rapidly from Lishui as soon as it got dark, and had reached the periphery of the quarrying near Tianmen Mountain in the second watch.

Quarrying, because it guards one of the two major ferries in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, has always become a battleground for soldiers. After the Chen army captured Huainan, the Wu army built the quarry city into a huge fortress in recent years in order to fight against the Northern Chen. Moreover, around the quarrying, a city and two villages were also built in the nearby Dangtu, Chu Mountain, and Tianmen Mountain, as an acropolis for quarrying.

However, no matter how strong the city fortress is, it must be defended by people, the last time the Wu army reinforced Jianghan, the quarrying soldiers were reduced a lot, and later for various reasons, the soldiers and horses were constantly drawn, which eventually led to the fall of the quarrying city.

And now, after the Chen army captured the quarry city, there were not many men left. At this time, the quarrying was garrisoned by Xu Shiji with 3,000 men and horses, and for these 3,000 men and horses, another 1,000 men and horses were divided into three camps of Tianmen Mountain, Chu Mountain, and Dangtu.

"Dashuai, the third watch day has arrived!" The lieutenant general said to Shan Xiong.

Shan Xiongxin looked up at the sky, and a bright moon in the sky shone brightly, illuminating the entire earth very clearly. It's a good day for a night fight, so moonlit, you don't even need to light a torch.

He already knew that the quarrying in front of him was guarded by his old brother Xu Shiji. Standing here, facing the quarry, Shan Xiongxin's heart was also full of revenge. At the beginning, he also discussed with Xu Shiji to defect to Chen Kefu, but in the end he followed his niece to defect to Nan Chen. But think about it now, although he has become one of the three generalissimos of Wu State, but the relationship with his niece and son-in-law Du Fuwei is stiff, he has thought more than once that it would be good if he had followed Mao to vote for the Chen Dynasty.

There is no regret medicine in the world, creation makes people, and the good brothers who rebelled together at the beginning are now living on one side and have become opponents on the battlefield. …,

After pondering for a while, Shan Xiongxin clenched his fists and sighed in his heart, although they are brothers, but now they are their masters, and he has no other choice.

"Attack!"

With a choking sound, Shan Xiongxin pulled out the front finger of the horizontal knife, and suddenly the flags shook one after another, and the horns sounded together. Under the command of the banner, groups of Zhennan Army soldiers raised their spears and bravely stepped forward, rushing towards the Tianmen Mountain camp not far away.

There was only a small battalion of 300 Chen troops stationed in the Tianmen Mountain camp, and in the face of the countless Wu troops who suddenly came out in the dark night, the captain in command couldn't help but change his face.

"Light the alarm fire, notify the Wu army of the quarry city of the enemy attack, and raise five fires! The enemy army is at least 50,000! ”

The commander was a young lieutenant, facing the tide of Wu troops, he immediately gave the order to pass on the warning signal, and then the second order was to retreat and break through the siege and return to quarrying. Faced with an enemy army a hundred times larger than himself, he did not choose to fight hard, but chose to retreat very naturally.

The Wu army came quickly, but the Chen army escaped faster. After lighting five police fires, the three hundred members of Chen Jun did not hesitate at all, and fled towards the quarrying like a gust of wind. The Wu army poured into the Tianmen Mountain camp like a tide, but all they got was an empty camp and the five fires that rose to the sky.

Seeing Chen Jun's reaction like this, Shan Xiongxin couldn't help but look solemn. He didn't expect Chen Jun to react so quickly, and he actually lit the alarm fire so quickly. At that moment, he couldn't help but look a little ugly, and shouted at the general: "The general will order that the whole army will go straight to the quarry, and the second battalion of Tu and Chushan don't need to pay attention to it!" The first person to attack the head of the quarry city will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold! ”

The plan of the surprise attack had failed, and Shan Xiongxin was not in the mood to deal with the three or two hundred Chen Jun again, but directly aimed at the quarry.

Woo woo --

The horn is melodious, and the flag is unfurled.

The 50,000 Zhennan army quickly rushed towards the quarrying under the banners and horns. Like a storm, like a flood!
