Chapter 109: Defeat of Changshan Island
(The first update, ask for a red ticket)
Changshan Island shines magnificently in the afterglow of the setting sun, but the extravagant flying tiger is not in the mood to enjoy the twilight beauty of Changshan Island.
Qin Zitan did not see any progress in attacking the South Cliff camp for a long time, so he was worried again, and walked through the forest to the northern slope to watch the battle.
Compared with the previous narrow forest road, the dense forest between the southwest beach and the north slope has been carved out of a four-horse wide forest road in one day. However, compared to the nearly 3,000 attacking troops and horses assembled on the northern slope of the forest, the forest road that could only be passed by two ox carts was still too narrow.
The only four remaining catapults had long since been scrapped in the afternoon, and they did not cause any actual damage to the walls of the South Cliff Fortification.
Although the iron-clad north gate of the South Cliff Camp was successfully collapsed with a rushing car, the island soldiers were extremely fierce, and the elite of the Flying Tiger faction fought for the North Camp Gate several times, but they never broke through.
After repelling an attack just now, Qin Zitan watched the battle for a while, and saw that the attacking armor had withdrawn, so he walked towards the luxury flying tiger and said: "The ship from Daheng Island is coming, and the Jiangdong Left Army launched a strong attack before dawn, and the strength is very strong. Maybe Su Tingzhan will give up the stronghold at the northern foot in time and retreat to Jinji Mountain, and he will be able to contain the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army, otherwise it will be difficult to hold on to the present......"
"It's possible that Daheng Island has already been lost?" Extravagant Feihu impatiently grabbed the saber in his hand.
It was getting dark, and there was still no hope of capturing the South Cliff camp, so the deputy in charge of organizing the siege came over to ask for instructions, should he withdraw his troops from the forest and come back tomorrow to besiege the fortress?
The south side is the south cliff camp and the dam lake, the three sides are dense forests, the terrain is easy to enter and not easy to get out, to prevent the enemy base from sending troops to sneak attack at night, after nightfall, most of the troops must be withdrawn to the more open southwest beach to set up camp, here can only leave a battalion of elite guard.
"There is still some time to attack again," Yu Feihu looked up at the sky, and instructed his deputy, "You go up in person, add a team of soldiers, and when you attack the north gate, you must build ladders on both sides to climb the wall......"
Qin Zitan didn't know what to persuade, they had been delayed on Changshan Island for a day, at this time the wind was blowing from the northwest, which was not conducive to crossing to the west, and it was impossible to persuade the luxury flying tiger to give up the fight for Changshan Island, so he kept his mouth shut.
Extravagant Feihu discussed the details of the attack with the generals, and Qin Zitan stood aside to observe the terrain of the southern cliff of Changshan Island.
The location of the Luxury Flying Tiger is very abrupt, only four hundred steps away from the Beiying Gate, maybe deep in his heart he fantasizes that the island soldiers will come out to attack his Chinese army - Luxury Zitan stands by the side of the Luxury Flying Tiger, and can clearly see the situation in Beiyingkou.
The stone wall on the outside of the camp gate collapsed, revealing the rammed earth wall inside, but the main body of the camp was not damaged. The iron-clad thick wooden door is pulled diagonally aside, and the door shaft door is broken, and it is useless to have a door. In front of the doorway, there were several flying cars, and behind the well-armored armor guards, there were iron clusters shining with cold light in the dark doorway.
Whether it is the battle equipment, armor or combat style, it is the set of the Jiangdong Left Army. Although it is judged that there are only five or six hundred island soldiers defending the fortification, the martial courage and tenacious will to fight are also in the same vein as the Jiangdong Left Army, and they are not weaker than the Jin'an veterans who can be called the elite of a hundred battles, so that people can't see how many lives have to be filled and how much time they have to wait patiently before they can finally conquer the South Cliff and occupy Changshan Island.
Qin Zitan had doubts in his heart, his brows were squeezed into the word "Sichuan", and seeing that the generals were scattered to organize some larger attacks before nightfall, he walked to the side of the luxury Feihu and said: "This Changshan Island has been in the forest for a long time! ”
"It's only been two years since this group of people came to Changshan Island to gain a foothold," Yu Feihu also frowned and asked, "How early do you think they can join the swineherd?" ”
"What a coincidence," Qin Zitan sighed slightly, "The young marquis asked Zhao Laomo and the gang to rob Su Mei were also ...... two years ago."
"What are you doing about this?" Luxury Feihu's face sank, and when he saw Qin Zitan suddenly uncover his scars, there was a fire in his heart.
Qin Zitan didn't see the displeasure on Luxury Feihu's face, and said to himself: "It's a pity that Du Rong is no longer there, otherwise he can know more things......" He squatted down, grabbed a handful of wet soil under his feet, twisted it and spread it out to show Luxury Feihu, "Young Marquis, look at this field, it should not be more than a year to reclaim it." If you look at the barrage dam to the west, the same one that the gang started building immediately when they came to Changshan Island two years ago. ”
"Except for the small pond in the forest, Changshan Island has no big lakes and stable streams, so it was abandoned by the Zhukou. If this group wants to gain a foothold on Changshan Island, it is inevitable to build a dam and enclose the lake, what is strange? Fei Fei Hu asked.
"They can't help but be too calm, and besides, Lin Lian also started as a prison island in Jiangning, if all this is not a coincidence, it can explain some things that he couldn't see through before...... Qin Zitan said.
It is precisely because the soldiers of Changshan Island reclaimed the barren forest on the island to grow grain that they had enough space to deploy troops on the northern slope to attack the fortress, but as pirates who raided for a living, it was unusual to reclaim wasteland to grow grain as soon as they landed on the island.
"What's the matter?" Fei Fei Hu asked impatiently.
Without waiting for Qin Zitan to answer, at this time, the soldiers of Changshan Island suddenly withdrew the obstacles at the camp gate, and the armor guards who had been guarding the camp gate came out with several strong shield carts. Standing directly opposite the camp gate, he could see that there were still many armor guards behind the doorway - this strange situation immediately attracted his attention, picked up his saber and rushed forward, loudly reminding the generals: "The Changshan soldiers must go out of the base and fight!" Send another group of crossbowmen to strengthen the left flank, and the two flanks should be equipped with more large shields, and lead them out as much as possible......"
This side is preparing to storm the enemy base before dark, and the elite of the attack is already lined up on the northern slope. In front of them are the battle equipment used to cover the arrows and rush to the door and climb the wall, such as the cave house car, the rushing car, the half-cut boat, the ladder and so on.
Since this was the last strong attack before dark, the intensity of the attack was increased, and the number of sorties increased by 40%, reaching the scale of 1,000 people at a time, and the formation was relatively crowded. Unexpectedly, the Changshan Island soldiers chose to counterattack at this time, and they had to adjust the formation in a hurry, which would inevitably be even more chaotic.
Qin Zitan picked up a high ground and stood up, it was not a good thing for the Changshan Island soldiers to go out of the fortress to fight back at this time, he looked at the wall worriedly, and suddenly thought of a suspicious point, so shocked that his back was cold, his face suddenly turned pale, and he walked towards the luxury flying tiger in a panic, shouting as he walked: "Second son, second son, quickly form a formation and defend it, don't fight in waves!" ”
Of course, Yu Feihu knew that the Changshan Island soldiers were going out of the fortress to counterattack at this time because they wanted to take the opportunity to fight this side unprepared, but he held back for a day, and was looking forward to such a large-scale opportunity for short-handed encounters, and he wanted to use the advantage of the strength to entangle the Changshan Island soldiers who were counterattacking out of the fortress and drag them out, as long as a certain gap was opened, he could send another team of elites to pass through and grab the camp gate.
Even though it was difficult to effectively block the fire of the Changshan Island soldiers on the wall, the casualties increased sharply, but the luxury Feihu also saw the hope of capturing the South Cliff camp with all his might, and planned to lead the elite of the Suihu to personally grab the gate of the wall.
Hearing Qin Zitan's lost soul rushing and shouting to defend the formation here to resist the enemy, Fei Feihu raised his eyebrows and shouted: "What are you panicking about?" ”
"Look at the wall," Qin Zitan pointed to the wall of the South Cliff, and said anxiously, "The wall has not drawn troops down, and the counterattack is an ambush, an ambush!" It's an ambush soldier who has been recuperating for a long time - we have been tricked, and Lin Tie is a suspicious soldier in Chongzhou! ”
*************
Ning Zechen asked the guards in front of him to cover the big shield slightly, he could clearly see the mistakes and shocked surfaces on the faces of the Luxury Feihu and Qin Zitan on the opposite side, and knew that they had already understood the plan, and said loudly: "The second prince is bent on fighting, and I will wait for the plug to come out to meet your wishes." The terrain in front of the fortress is narrow, and there are not too many soldiers to be placed - the second prince can make his subordinates retreat three or five hundred steps back to be the place for the decisive battle between the two sides? He also taught the soldiers around him to follow and shouted: "Kou soldiers, please retreat, give up the place, and fight to the death!" ”
The Flying Tiger is not so stupid, but the soldiers of Changshan Island are so noisy, and the slight change of formation in the front of this side will also make the people below suspicious that they will be taken advantage of by the enemy, and he bit the order and said: "Attack, seize the fortress!" ”
The sloping land in the forest, the space is narrow, there is not much room for maneuver, and if you retreat lightly here, the Changshan Island soldiers will pounce with all their might, which is likely to cause the collapse of the entire army here. There was not even time to catch their breath, let alone make drastic adjustments to the deployment.
Of course, Ning Zechen was also unceremoniously, and ordered an attack, and in the blink of an eye, they fought together.
Feng left the camp with eight hundred elite soldiers to hide in Changshan Island for half a month, recuperating, and breathed a sigh of relief, just for this battle.
To the north of the South Cliff Camp is a ramp about 100 paces wide, on the right is a rugged woodland with jagged thorny rocks, which can only be passed by a few people for a while, and on the left is the dam lake. Although the terrain of the ramp is also quite gentle, it cannot provide the advantage of the terrain from a high rush, but on the ramp of less than 100 paces, no amount of enemy troops can be used.
As long as the Kou soldiers are pressed to the north and pressed to the edge of the dense forest on the north side, so that the two or three thousand Kou soldiers are crowded into a group and cannot be spread, that is when the enemy formation collapses.
Extravagant Feihu is not the beginning of the battlefield, he expected that Lin Tie on Changshan Island even if he hides ambush soldiers can not be too much, he still has 25600 complete combat strength on the north slope, and he can't retreat lightly when the ambush pounces, so he can only attack and attack again, and capture the South Cliff camp with one go, which will naturally eliminate the current ambush crisis.
Although there are still nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses in the southwest beach outside the forest, there are only too many soldiers here, and it is only too crowded, and of course the luxury Feihu does not dare to transfer more troops in, and the sky is getting darker, which is even more unfavorable to them.
Extravagant Feihu was unwilling to lose, so Qin Zitan went out of the forest to contact Cheng Yiqun first, stabilized his position, and was careful of attacking soldiers at sea.
Qin Zitan had no power to restrain the chicken, what followed here was just a fierce battle without death, and there was no place for him, surrounded by several guards, he walked to the forest road, and wanted to go to the southeast beach to contact Cheng Yiqun. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the forest road, he heard the sound of swords, and saw the queen of the sentry warehouse who was not much in the forest road retreating, and shouted in panic: "There are ambushes in the forest!" ”
How could there be ambushes on the island? Luxury Feihu is not the first brother on the battlefield, Changshan Island is not big, and it doesn't take long to search the whole island, how can it be possible for the Jiangdong Left Army to hide an ambush in the forest without finding out for a day?
Without waiting for Qin Zitan to think about it, there were many Jianjia soldiers who came out of the forest in front of him, and the cold light flashed, he subconsciously raised his hand to block, but he didn't feel anything, just watched his left elbow and broken arm fly away: The knife is so fast - if it wasn't for the timely drag of the guards behind him, the next knife would split his forehead, Qin Zitan subconsciously thought that the soldiers of Changshan Island had a secret way to go out, and there could never be many ambushes in the forest. It was only at this time that the sharp pain of the broken arm shattered his consciousness, and when he completely lost consciousness, he only heard the chaos of the collapse of the rear formation—defeated.
