(Happy Year of the Horse, 2014!) ）

Liang Zhang was not deterred, although he suffered a big loss in the first attack, ostensibly losing more than 600 ships and nearly 20,000 horses. But in fact, the first round of attack was only a tentative attack, and the real loss was only 3,000 soldiers.

After suspending the attack and resting for a day and a half, on the eve of dawn on the third day, Liang Zhang once again threw all the ships he had mobilized into battle.

And this time, Liang Zhang no longer tried to test all his troops, more than 30,000 horses and horses at one time, loaded them into eight clusters, attacked Hu Douzhou from different directions, and launched a charge under the cover of night.

This was a gamble, and Liang Zhang gambled that there were no more than 100 Qin warships and 10,000 soldiers and horses on the island. The most important point is that Liang Zhang gambled on the battle in front, and the firearms of the Qin army should have been almost used.

Moreover, he chose to attack suddenly in the dark night before dawn, and divided the troops and horses into eight groups to attack with all his might, which was also considered for a long time.

Even if the Qin army still has gunpowder on the island, will the Qin army's sailors dare to intercept it separately? If separated, even if the Qin army had the help of firearms, its strength would only be weaker, and the Huainan army could completely rely on the numerical advantage to defeat the Qin army individually. If the Qin army's sailors did not intercept them separately, then it didn't matter if Liang Zhang's eight-way soldiers and horses were eaten one or two ways, they could still land on the island. As long as they landed on the island, the Qin army was ultimately defeated.

In the face of the sudden large-scale attack of the Huainan army, Wu Qian led the naval army to meet the battle, losing the superior weapon of firearms, and Wu Qian, who only had more than 100 ships, did not dare to divide his troops in the dark night. As a result, although the First Fleet fought very fiercely, Liang Zhang's plan was still successful.

Liang Zhang lost a fleet. But the other seven clusters eventually landed successfully.

After logging in. Two clusters were blocked by the island's infantry. was defeated. But Liang Zhang also gained time, mobilized the other five battle groups, and finally surrounded Lin Song's infantry at the foot of Wolf Mountain.

Wu Qian and Deng Huan's sailors guarded Lin Song's left flank coast along the coast, but they also suffered great losses, under Liang Zhang's shark tactics, the First Fleet lost almost half of its warships, and although it was facing the infantry army on the shore at this time, it was already difficult to support.

"Report to Lord Wu and Lord Deng. The main faction of the Lin army came down to tell each other, the far water is difficult to solve the near fire, Jianghai Town is difficult to hold, and the reinforcements are difficult to arrive for a while. Lord Lin was willing to lead the brothers of the Ninth Army of the Township Army to cover the withdrawal of the brothers of the First Fleet and the Eighteenth Army. One of Lin Song's soldiers said to Wu Qian with a resolute expression.

Lin Song's Ninth Army had been surrounded, and even if he wanted to, he couldn't go at this time. However, the First Fleet and the Eighteenth Army were still at sea, and although there were many enemy ships around, there was still a chance if the iron heart wanted to escape.

Wu Qian turned his head and looked around, and there was fire everywhere on the river. It was a ship from Huainan. Although those ships cannot be called warships at all, the ants bite and kill elephants. At present, Wu Qian has not only run out of gunpowder, but also used up his crossbow nails, arrows, and stone bullets in the previous battle, and he has survived until now, completely in close combat.

"How many boats do we have?" Wu Qian asked.

Yang Weili, a member of the First Fleet, gritted his teeth and replied: "There are also two building ships, three fighting ships, five sea falcons, two shippers, and the rest of the large and small warships have all sunk. And the brethren of the ships were about two thousand. ”

This was a very heavy casualty, arguably the heaviest since the establishment of the First Fleet, which plus the Eighteenth Army, had only 2,000 men left. Although they sank several times the enemy's army, they themselves were at the end of their destruction.

"Zhang joins the army, how many brothers do you have in the Ninth Army?" Deng Huan was injured in the battle with one arm, and asked with a horizontal knife in one hand at this time.

"There are more than 3,000 people." Zhang was in a depressed mood, facing the enemy from all directions, although the Ninth Army desperately counterattacked, but Liang Zhang and others were not idle, and they were outnumbered by the crowd, although they were desperate, but they were only village soldiers.

Wu Qian gritted his teeth, there was no other choice now, leaving Lin Song to leave at this time, they would not be able to escape. Since this is the case, then simply take a gamble, abandon the ship and go ashore, and withdraw with Lin Song to Wolf Mountain, where there is a military camp that occupies a favorable location and can hold on, maybe they can hold on until the King of Qin sends troops to help.

As soon as he told Deng Huan about his thoughts, Deng Huan did not hesitate and immediately agreed.

"Burn the boat, let's fight with Huainan dogs!" Wu Qian roared.

"Fight!"

At this point, there is no other choice. Even if the naval army and the township soldiers have never been the first-class combat troops of the Qin army, they can be compared with other ordinary soldiers and horses who are not powerful. At the very least, the naval army and the township soldiers were completely trained according to the set of combat troops. Their will to fight is not weak.

Lin Song and the Ninth Army were completely encircled at this time, and in the dawn of dawn, Lin Song was covered in blood, leading his troops to fight and retreat. Their eyes are to retreat to Wolf Mountain, and defend the mountain against danger.

But whether it is Liang Zhang, Bi Shiduo, or Li Hanzhi, these people can be regarded as the world's fierce generals, and the soldiers under their personal command are not comparable to the rural soldiers under Lin Song. Being able to hold out under several times the enemy's forces until now, Lin Song and the Ninth Army of the Township Soldiers can already be very proud.

With a wave of the Mo knife in his hand, Lin Song slashed to death another fierce Huainan soldier. Today, more than twenty Huainan soldiers have died under his sword.

Lin Song's ferocity also attracted the attention of the Huainan Army, but with the specially made Mo knife in Lin Song's hand, it was difficult not to attract attention. There are not many generals who carry Mo knives as weapons. What's more, Lin Song also rode a horse and held a Mo knife, which is even rarer. But the most eye-catching thing is his ferocity, almost no one can stop him.

"Fuck, such a soldier who dares to fight is actually a village soldier? Such a fierce general is actually a township general? Qin Yan watched Lin Song turn around, and the Mo knife in his hand slashed the head of a tall Huainan soldier away, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help jumping. Damn, in his opinion, the soldier in front of him is almost the same as the old brother of the battalion under him, and this general with a Mo knife, he can't find such a person in his battalion. But such soldiers, such generals, can't even enter Li Jing's barracks. It was even lined up under the Solidarity Army. Sort of a reserve force. At most, the garrison is at the level of the garrison, which is really unbelievable.

"It's a good soldier, that officer is also a rare fierce general, pass the order, as long as you are willing to surrender, you will be treated preferentially and not killed." Liang Zhang suffered a lot of losses this time, and he estimated that when he took Hu Tuzhou and the Qin army on the island, the 20,000 soldiers he brought would also have to lose half, if he could replenish these Qin troops. It's not bad to arrive.

"Abandon your weapons and surrender without killing!"

Li Hanzhi rushed forward with an eight-edged golden hoop stick in his hand, danced hard, and immediately swept two village soldiers in a row, and killed him with a stick.

When Lin Song saw a bald head rushing closer, he killed two brothers in a blink of an eye, and his eyes couldn't help but widen with anger, and he roared and shouted: "Bald head, look for death!" Raising the Mo knife, it had already been chopped down, and Li Hanzhi raised the stick and set it up, with a clang. A splash of sparks. Li Hanzhi felt a little numb in his arms, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked by the power of this strange sword general.

Lin Song was entangled by Li Hanzhi and couldn't get out. And Bi Shiduo led a group of grass army brothers who followed him to surrender to Gao Piao. For a while, the Ninth Army was about to collapse, but when it was critical, Wu Qian and Deng Huan had already led 2,000 men and horses to rush all the way over.

Soon the remnants of the First Fleet, the Eighteenth Army, and the Ninth Army converged.

Lin Song couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Wu Qian and Deng Huan, who were also covered in blood: "Why don't you leave!" ”

"I can't bear to see you slaughtered." Deng Huan smiled and stabbed a Huainan soldier to death with a sword.

"Fuck you're stupid, I still want to wait for you to move the rescuers, it's okay now, let's get together and wait for death." Lin Song wiped a handful of blood from his face and gasped.

"Don't worry, King Qin must have known the news here, as long as we can withdraw to Wolf Mountain, maybe we can save our lives." Wu Qian explained.

Lin Song's face was a little gloomy, he wanted to withdraw to Wolf Mountain, how could it be so easy. The Huainan army on the island was not only more numerous, but also fiercer than them, and they did not have the slightest advantage at all.

The fact was just as Lin Song expected, although Wu Qian and Wu Huan led more than 2,000 people to help, but in the same way, these soldiers and horses who were originally besieging the water division also rushed over and gathered together. Liang Zhang could calmly put all his troops into the encirclement of them, and the Huainan soldiers around him surrounded more and more, but the brothers around him fought less and less.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, there were less than a thousand Qin troops left in the encirclement, and the entire army was about to be wiped out. But even so, in the face of Liang Zhang's surrender, Wu Qian, Deng Huan and Lin Song, the three generals, did not pay attention to it, and even the more than 1,000 township soldiers also fought to the death.

"Damn, it seems that we are all going to die here today, there is nothing to say, let's see you at the Martyrs' Shrine, and we will be a good man again in eighteen years!" Wu Qian shouted, clutching his teeth from a wound in his abdomen.

"The old wife and children in the family have their own care from King Qin, and Lao Tzu has nothing to worry about. Lao Tzu has killed enough today, and now he has killed all of it for money. Deng Huan also shouted on the side.

Lin Song was covered in injuries at this time, and his whole body was out of strength with the Mo knife, and he was about to die, thinking about it, it was a pity that there were countless women in his life, but it was a pity that he had not married a wife seriously and gave birth to a son and a half daughter. Damn, I'm going to die, I'm really unwilling.

The territory of the navy in western Zhejiang, Changshu, Suzhou, on a hill on the opposite bank of Wolf Mountain.

Xu Wen rode over, "Big brother, Liang Zhang has already attacked Hu Tuzhou, and the Qin army on the island is almost all gone." ”

Yang Xingmi raised his eyes and looked at the north and sighed.

Li Shenfu on the side said with appreciation: "The Qin army is indeed good, only 10,000 horses, and it is also a third-line army in the Qin army, but under the attack of Liang Zhang's 50,000 soldiers and horses, it can still hold for so long, and Liang Zhang has been severely damaged." Liang Zhang ate them, and he also lost a lot of money, more than half. ”

"It's a group of heroes, it's a pity." Yang Xingmi also sighed. They rushed from Luzhou, originally planning to find an opportunity to save some Qin troops. As a result, the Qin army on the island had the opportunity to abandon Hu Tuozhou, but they actually stayed behind to fight to the death, which was much to his surprise. Although he felt that the defenders on the island were a little pedantic, their courage and courage still shocked Yang Xingmi.

The other thirty-six Huainan heroes behind him were also silent. Even if they had the heart to save them, they couldn't help them right now.

The town of Zhejiang West Navy Changzhou, the town of the navy festival Zhou Bao has secretly assembled a large army here.

"The king of the county, Liang Zhang has already attacked Hu Tuzhou, and more than 10,000 Qin troops on the island are about to be destroyed. A Zhenhai staff member asked Zhou Bao, the king of Runan County and the envoy of the Zhenhai Navy, who was over sixty years old but still had a blindfold on his face.

Zhou Bao, like Li Keyong, is a one-eyed, and they are both famous generals in the Tang Dynasty today. However, Li Ke's one-eyed is born, but Zhou Bao's one-eyed is different, when Zhou Bao was an officer of the forbidden army in the capital, in order to be able to get the emperor's appreciation, the emperor loves polo, so he desperately practiced polo, in a polo match that the emperor came to watch, he performed extremely bravely, and scored goals again and again, but he fought too hard, one eye was hit by a polo, and he was blind and did not leave the field, but continued to play, and hit the ball, and finally won the favor of the emperor, and has been promoted since then.

At that time, Gao Biao was only a junior of Zhou Bao, and he called him the eldest brother.

It's just later, although Zhou Bao has also become handsome early, Gao Piao's general career is even more brilliant, and he gradually overshadows him.

Now, Gao Biao is appointed as the envoy of Huainan Festival, named the king of Bohai County, and entered the service. Zhou Bao took over as Gao Yu's original envoy of the Zhenhai Festival, was named the king of Runan County, and entered the middle book order.

The two are separated by a river, and it is a good thing that they are neighbors. But in the end, because of different ideas about dealing with Li Jing, the conflict between the two for many years was finally detonated, until the original brother became the enemy today.

Before Li Jing and Gao Biao fought with him, he sent troops to garrison Hu Tuozhou at the end, but in fact, Li Jing got Zhou Bao's tacit approval, which was the result of the two of them suppressing Gao Biao together. Hu Tuzhou is actually the territory of the town navy.

And after Gao Biao was defeated by Zhang Luan being killed by Huang Chao, he immediately ignored Huang Chao's rampant and retreated to Yangzhou, not because he was afraid of Huang Chao, but because Gao Biao had already known about Li Jing and Zhou Bao's alliance, so he couldn't take care of the court and Huang Chao, and was bent on self-preservation.

This time, Gao Biao finally saw the opportunity, secretly formed an alliance with Li Keyong and others, and brazenly attacked Li Jing, in order to break the iron chain that Li Jing and Zhou Bao joined forces and bound Huainan.

Pull a hair and move the whole body, Gao Yu moves, Zhou Bao naturally will not sit idly by.

In terms of strength, Li Jing's strength is far above Gao Yu, but Li Jing is far away from the southeast and is beyond the reach of the whip.

Gao Biao's Huainan Army was above Zhou Bao's town navy, and previously relied on Li Jing's momentum to suppress Gao Biao, if Gao Biao forced Li Jing's power out of the southeast, then Zhou Bao would definitely be Gao Bao's next target.

Gao Biao is very shrewd, and Zhou Bao is not stupid.

Everyone knows the situation in the Tang family today, the world is going to change, and who will be willing to be lonely.

Whether it is Gao Biao or Zhou Bao, if these two neighbors want to expand, they must first settle each other.

One of Zhou Bao's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how steady it is, let Liang Zhang clear all Li Jing's subordinates on Hu Tuzhou, and then we will make another move." Well, let Hangzhou Assassin Shi stare at Hu Douzhou, and in the middle of the night tonight, let him lead Hangzhou Badu as the vanguard and take action immediately. ”

Liang Zhang is one of Gao Piao's twin bi, and the other Bi Zhang Ling has died at the hands of Huang Chao, if he can kill this other Bi Liang Zhang this time, and then eat his 50,000 horses, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Gao Piao, and if he kills Liang Zhang, he can also show Li Jing the maintenance of the two alliances, and at the same time, he can take Hu Juzhou back in his hands.

Kill two birds with one stone, why not.

When the staff heard the name of Hangzhou Badu, they quietly reminded him, "The history of Hangzhou Assassin cannot really control Hangzhou Badu, and today's Hangzhou Badu is actually headed by Dong Chang of Shijing Town." This Dong Chang's ambition is not small, and there is another guy named Qian Biao under his command who is very powerful, and there are already faint signs of replacing Hangzhou Thorn Shi to stand on his own, and the king of the county must be guarded against. ”

"Hangzhou Badu, Dong Chang, Qian Biao." Zhou Bao read a few names softly, snorted coldly, and said with a smile: "A few interesting little guys, this king has already heard of them, and I heard that they are not small, so I deliberately transferred them this time, but I wanted to see them fight with Liang Zhang and others, and see if they live up to their name." ”

The staff felt cold in his heart, and he had already understood, it turned out that the county king already knew all about this. This time, Hangzhou Badu was transferred and put in front, probably because he wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. (To be continued......)
