(The first update, the climax of this wave will continue for a while, please vote red!) ）

After Jiuhua completed the closure of the river and confirmed that the water from the upper reaches of the Salt River was channeled into the Xishan River, Ge Siyu rushed to Hecheng along the north bank of the Salt River with Cao Ziang, and he could clearly feel that the river was falling inch by inch along the way.

They built a dam in Jiuhua to close the river, so they would pay attention to the changes in the water level, for the generals on both sides who were in the midst of a fierce battle and did not know in advance, as long as the riverbed was not exposed, and the two banks were covered by reeds, who would notice that the river water had inadvertently dropped by two or three feet?

However, the drop in the water level of these two or three feet was fatal to the Kou boat, which had barely sailed into the Salt River.

The original plan for the dredging of the Yunyan River started from Jiuhua to Hecheng, and the construction of a dam and barrage in Jiuhua was a prerequisite for carrying out the dredging work, and preparations were already underway.

The Xishan River and the Yunyan River have been connected, and the damming and interception of water can be channeled into the Xishan River, so that it will not form a flood embankment in the plain area. When Ge Siyu arrived in Chongzhou, he personally confirmed the suitable location for dam construction, formulated a detailed dam construction plan, and even prepared several sealed cabin narrow boats for dam construction and barrage, and also piled up some soil and rock on both sides of the predetermined dam construction site.

Cao Ziang and Ge Siyu rushed to Jiuhua at night, and immediately mobilized nearby soldiers and civilians to build a dam and barrage the river overnight. Before dawn, there was a gap of less than two zhang wide left in the dam, and when the Hecheng Xishu Stone ignited the wolf smoke and sent a message, the earth and stone boat that stopped on the west side of the dam gap was chiseled and sealed to block the gap, and the river was completely cut off.

Jiuhua is a hundred miles away from Hecheng, in Jiangdong Left Army blockaded the inner line of Chongzhou, the military and civilian organization is also tight, it is impossible for the scouts of the Donghai Kou to sneak and infiltrate so far overnight to conduct reconnaissance, besides, who would have thought that Lin Jian had the ability to completely seal a hundred-step-wide river overnight?

Ge Siyu followed Cao Ziang to the west of Hecheng, and the ship formation on the west flank of the river beach formation was caught in a sea of fire. Although the soldiers on the ship mainly fled to the south bank, wanting to join up with the river beach positions on the south bank so that they could withdraw to the Hecheng military fortress together, there were also many soldiers who fled to the north bank in a panic.

Cao Ziang took out his saber and said to the dozens of guards behind him: "It seems that we didn't leave ...... behind" Leaving seven or eight people to protect Ge Siyu's thoughtfulness, he led the others to rush directly to the Kou soldiers who climbed the north embankment.

At this time, the water of the Salt River is shallow and the mud is deep, and the road and water escapees have heavy armor, most of them fall into the mud and cannot break free, and a few people are fortunate to climb the river embankment, but they are also exhausted, and almost throw away the armor in the river, where can they resist the impact of Cao Ziang's troops?

As early as Jiangning, Ge Siyu met Cao Ziang, Cao Ziang was Li Zheng at that time, some scribes, and his conversation was also extremely extraordinary, even if Cao Ziang later went north with Lin to King Qin, and was the core general of the Jiangdong Left Army, but in Ge Siyu's impression, Cao Ziang was a scholar. When he went to Chongzhou this time, he saw that Cao Ziang did not directly lead the troops, but assisted Lin Jian in dealing with the military department, which also deepened Ge Siyu's original impression of him.

Watching Cao Ziang riding a horse and wielding a knife, taking the lead, like a tiger descending the mountain, leading dozens of guards to rush and kill repeatedly, killing the Kou soldiers on the north embankment, hating his father and mother for having two feet, desperately fleeing into the river, Ge Siyu couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and said that Lin Lian was both civil and military, and was a rare talent, who would have thought that Cao Ziang, who was not conspicuous in Jiangning, was also so strong?

Ge Siyu said secretly: It is not fortunate that Lin Jian led the Jiangdong Left Army to the north to Yannan to create such a brilliant record, and it is enough to be worthy of any general to see that Cao Ziang is so capable.

The contact battle on the north embankment made Ge Siyu's blood boil, and he also wanted to rush forward with the guards left by Cao Ziang to kill the enemy, so frightened that the guards were afraid to hold his horse's head. This lord is even worried about riding a horse, not to mention killing the enemy, the horse is a little faster, and he may be planted off the horse, and besides, the adult attaches great importance to this master, where dare he make a mistake?

Ge Siyu couldn't fulfill his wish, so he could only sit on horseback and watch the battle.

The drums on the south bank are like thunder, looking from afar, but it is Lin Tie who stands in front of the garrison platform and personally beats the attack drum to boost morale, Lin Tie is dressed in green armor and wears a red daze, and the soldiers around him stand like a bright lamp, guiding the Jiangdong Left Army to fight bravely to kill the enemy.

The cavalry on the west side has already entered the river beach position, except for a military pawn on the east side of the garrison, and a group of cavalry on the southeast side of the garrison to stay as a reserve and wait for the battle, the rest of the Jiangdong left army on the northern front, including the Minyong and the collected Hecheng defeated army, are all pressed on the whole line, and carry out a final crushing blow to the Kou army position that has begun to collapse......

************

The flanks of the Koubing river beach positions were completely dependent on the cover of the boat formations assembled on the west side of the river, and when the ship formations were stuck in the mud and could not move, they became fixed targets for catapults, and the other flanks were on the verge of collapse.

The clay pots and rockets filled with fire oil turned the ship formation into a sea of fire on the shallow river, and the soldiers on the ship wanted to withdraw to the shore completely, which was by no means possible for a while, and the number of more than 100 soldiers arranged on the flanks was too small to prevent the impact of half of the troops of the Swift Leopard Cavalry Battalion......

Cheng Yiqun saw this situation and knew that the general trend had gone, so he could only withdraw before the east wing ship formation faced a direct attack and could cover its west flank, and he might be able to escape back to the Hecheng military fortress, he didn't expect Su Tingzhan to lead the already small number of soldiers and horses to come out to help.

Cheng Yiqun didn't care about contacting Shu Qingqiu's father and son, let alone giving the boat formation trapped in the middle of the river, and the guards hurriedly retreating eastward. Although Cheng Yiqun left the flag in the center of the formation, and the drums did not stop, the soldiers near the center of the formation soon realized that the commander abandoned them and fled east in panic, and the entire river beach position collapsed in the blink of an eye.

Shu Jiaqing only came ashore at this time to hug the guards, covered in muddy water, the first wave of the Jiangdong Left Army cavalry camp had run over, and began to pursue the Kou soldiers who fled west, killing the people and the rout.

Shu Qingqiu didn't expect that the good situation would collapse in an instant, Cheng Yiqun had already led his troops to flee west, they were already under siege, he could see the second son Mingtang trapped in the mud, three or four steps away from the river embankment, the loyal guards were desperately trying to pull him ashore, but there was no support on the shore, a team of Jiangdong left troops rushed ashore, shooting arrows indiscriminately, Shu Qingqiu watched Mingtang was hit by an arrow on the door, and let out a heart-rending scream......

Shu Qingqiu's heart was broken, desperate for his life, he danced the halberd, rushed to the west with the guards, and wanted to take the second son ashore.

Shu Qingqiu saw that the pressure was relieved, and he thought that there was hope of getting out of trouble, so he guarded the river embankment, rescued the second son who was hit by an arrow in the face and still had some rest to go ashore, and he wanted to cheer up and break through to the east.

It's just that the armor he wears is too fine, and the guards are very strong, after Minyong and Hecheng retreated down the river embankment, Zhou Tong, who personally commanded the Chongcheng infantry battalion to cooperate with the Fengli infantry battalion and the cavalry battalion on the front line, personally led the soldiers to come over and encircle, and only then did Shu Qingqiu understand the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army.

Mo swordsmen, sword and shield hands, pikemen and crossbowmen cooperate with each other to suppress, there are flying contradictory vehicles in front to limit the strong charge of the trapped soldiers, and even the Jiangdong Left Army has the ability to organize crossbowmen to suppress the salvo at this time, Shu Qingqiu only has thirty or fifty guards and some courageous skirmishers around him, how can he break through the siege of elite soldiers who are several times his own?

***********

Su Tingzhan stood at the head of the Hecheng Military Fortress and looked at the hellish battlefield in the west with a solemn expression, and a chill was revealed in the depths of his bones. Su Tingzhan boasted of being strategic, but he never expected that Lin Jian would have a strategy to seal the river, and directly trapped their heavy boat formation in the middle of the river and couldn't move.

A considerable part of the soldiers and horses left behind in the Hecheng military fortress were Cheng Yiqun's subordinates, and they all strongly requested to go out of the fortress to rescue, Su Tingzhan was relieved to see that the Jiangdong Left Army Boat Division appeared at the right time, and the other generals were also forced to give up the idea of rescue due to the situation.

The Jiangdong Left Army has gathered five or six thousand troops, and even if they suppress all the remaining forces, the disadvantage of the troops is too great, and the position on the river beach is close to collapse, and the possibility of thousands of people going to the rescue here is extremely small, and in the end they can only lose all the last chips in their hands.

Seeing that Cheng Yiqun led his troops to flee first, causing the entire position on the river beach to collapse, Su Tingzhan couldn't blame him too much, but he was just ready to meet the rout and resist the deployment of the Jiangdong Left Army to take advantage of the rout to forcibly seize the fortress.

***********

Seeing that although the Kou soldiers who stayed behind in the Hecheng military fortress were out of the fortress, they were only in formation, Lin Jian knew that he could not take the Hecheng military fortress in one go.

Lin Jian ordered that in addition to some of the cavalry battalion generals who continued to pursue and kill the fleeing soldiers, all the officers and men of the Chongzhou Infantry Battalion, the Fengli Infantry Battalion, the Minyong Infantry Battalion, and the Hecheng Army gathered on the south bank of the river embankment to capture prisoners and flee, and the most important thing was to force the boat formation on the east flank of the river beach position to abandon their weapons and surrender.

Lin Jian walked to the front of the formation, calmly looked at Shu Qingqiu, who was trapped in the river embankment, and shouted in a deep voice: "Old man Shu, you are a good rich man, it is too late to regret at this time, abandon the halberd at this time, I will leave you a way to live......"

Shu Qingqiu Ji sat on the ground, hugged the body of the second son who was already cold, covered in blood, looked at Lin Tie in the distance, and didn't have the heart to pick up the halberd beside him, and said in a deep voice: "The lord's kindness to me, you and other children can know, become a king or defeat a king, there is nothing to say, if you can leave my whole body into the ground, Jiuquan is grateful......"

Shu Qingqiu was also a pirate in his early years, and then he went ashore, but it was actually a secret chess set up by the luxury family in Anji, Lin Jian didn't say much, waved his hand and ordered the arrows to be released, shooting Shu Qingqiu and the others to death, and said to Zhou Tong: "Then leave him a whole corpse......

At this time, the soldiers on the east flank of the river beach also knew the predicament of being in a dead place and unable to struggle.

At this time, the shallow part of the riverbed has exposed the silt, and even if the ship is abandoned, it is impossible to escape quickly, unless it can hold on until the tide rises and the salt river channel is refilled with water, so that it can escape.

Although the large shield can block ordinary arrows, it cannot stop the fire attack of fire tanks and rockets trapped in the middle of the river, and the east wing ship formation that is caught in the sea of fire is a living example. It only took half an hour for the Jiangdong Left Army to re-erect the catapults, and they simply could not support the next time the tide rose.

Although the soldiers who had already thrown the canister of fire oil to the shore with their bare hands at the near shore to the near shore, they still persuaded them to surrender while directly erecting a stone-throwing crossbow on the river embankment to exert pressure, and it didn't take long before they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

It takes too much labor to dredge and transport the salt river, and it is good to have one or two thousand more hard labors.

Cao Ziang also came to the south bank at this time, with a lot of muddy water and blood on his body, and suggested to Lin Lian: "It depends on the situation, you can't storm the Hecheng military fortress today, you should go back to the river mouth quickly, don't miss the auspicious time." When the river recedes a little more, before the tide rises, I plan to organize men to build another mud embankment on the north side of the garrison, close the Yunyan River in advance, and also build a road to the north bank, at least before the Kou soldiers have reinforcements, we have the ability to completely block the northern line, so that the East China Sea Kou cannot advance westward with a single soldier. ”

"I've confirmed the casualties, and I'll go back before ......," Lin Jian said.

At this time, the position of the Jiangdong Left Army resounded like a tide of cheers, seeing Lin Tie coming over, the cheers were even more thunderous, Wang Chengfu and others could also understand why Lin Tie could have such a high prestige in the minds of the Jiangdong Left Army generals: Whoever brings such a brilliant victory and record to an army can win the full support and respect of the generals of the whole army.
