The dam burst lagoon, and the lower mouth of Taowu Pass is also a wolf, but on the camp south of Taowu Pass, the halberds are like forests, the armor is like scales, and the generals are sitting on the ground on the school ground. Watching the cavalry under the mountain galloping, Chen Yan subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tightened the tie of his pocket, and turned around and roared: "Turtle sons, take out your screaming spiritual head!" ”

The generals were ordered to stand up one after another, and on the open school field, it was like a rippling lake with a breeze blowing.

Surrounded by Hu Cai, Lin Tie galloped into the Taowu Pass camp with Fu Qinghe, Zhou Pu, Gao Zongting and others, and looked at the generals who had long been on standby on the school field, dismounted before entering, and quickly climbed the high platform of the point general made of the mountain soil, untied a corner of the armor, held the horse whip in his hand, and looked at the elite of the Fourth Brigade of the First Town of the Chongcheng Army secretly transferred from the Litang camp, and said in a loud voice: "The key head, transfer you out of Litang, and have been nesting here, the war in Litang, Jaws, and Jiahe has no part of you. I've heard you all have opinions. Your general, he ran to the big tent all day long, complaining that he was a 'tiger in the city', not a 'tiger in the nest'. Chen Yan didn't reason with me before, but this time, in order to fight, he learned to tell me a lot of truths, saying that it is our duty to wait for the generals, defend the family and defend the country, and quell the chaos in the land, and it is also the supreme glory to throw away the head, spill blood, and shroud in horse leather, and it is a shame to nest in the camp. You say, is what the old man said reasonable? ”

"I threw my head and was willing to spill my blood!" The generals roared loudly, the sound vibrated the clouds, and the sound waves rose and fell in the camp, converging into the roaring wind of the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, and spreading into the distance.

Lin Jian pressed the saber on his waist with one hand, grabbed the horsewhip with the other, suppressed his voice slightly, and continued: "After saying these big truths, this kid Chen Yan also threatened me that I would not fight him again, so he resigned from his position and went to be a pawn for Tiangu Zhang Gou to charge into battle!" I come here now to tell him that the rebels trapped in the people of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi are fleeing from Hengshan and fleeing west along both sides of the Xinjiang River, and I don't want him to do anything like a 'city tiger', I want him to lead you to be a 'road tiger', a 'road blocker', and a 'gate tiger'! Generals, are you willing to throw your head and spill your blood with him! ”

"I am willing to throw my head and spill my blood!" The blood of the generals in the audience was boiling, and they were hoarse to shout out the fighting spirit in their hearts, and the sound was higher and higher.

There will be a big battle to be fought, and the old stain is also full of blood, and the leopard-like eyes shine through the strange brilliance, like a hungry beast trapped in a cage, waiting for someone to help him open the door of the cage.

"Chen Yan, you come to the stage for me!" Lin Jian waved his whip and pointed at Chen Zhen and said in a loud voice.

Chen Zuo sorted out the armor, lacing, and wearing blades, and took the stage to be ordered.

"I hereby order the first town of Changchongcheng Division Quan Army Chen Yan to lead the division to the west by boat, find an opportunity to land from between Guixi and Hengfeng, to defeat the rebels fleeing westward, and cut off the rebel army on both sides of the Xinjiang River east of Guixi!"

"The last general will not let a rebel slip through the net, and if he violates this order, he will be willing to accept any punishment from the lord, and there will be no complaints." Chen Yan knelt down on one knee to accept the military order and said in a loud voice.

Lin Lian laughed and picked up the old stains.

Although Chen Zhen's murderous nature is a little heavier, he is a good general who charges into battle.

In the past, Chen Yan, Sun Zhuang, and Zhang Gou were handsome, driven by Liu An'er, and they were also good knives in the hands of woodcutters, and it was rare to show their talents. After he joined the Huaidong Army, he became sharper and sharper, and he was famous all over the world for his bravery, and he was a brave general in Huaidong.

In the battle of Gucheng Lake, Chen Yan suffered a lot of casualties due to his risk, and Xu Gong only authorized the army, under Sun Zhuang, Tang Fuguan, Liu Zhenzhi, Zhang Jiheng, and Zhang Gou, but he himself didn't care at all, and only wanted to have a battle to fight.

In terms of cooperating with the landing operations of the Boat Division and the Naval Army, Chen Yan was especially stronger than other generals, so Lin Jian was at the key point, withdrawing his troops from the Litang battlefield and transferring them to the Peach Blossom Pass to stand by.

After Chen Yan was ordered, he arranged for the transfer of troops.

After the mobilization, more than 10,000 generals made the final preparations before the pull, Lin Jian stood on the platform, raised his eyes and looked at the open place south of Taowu Pass, and said to the people around him: "Whether you can cripple the luxury family at one time depends on this battle!" ”

Fu Qinghe, Gao Zongting and others were also experienced in the battle array, but they couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts at this time.

Zhou Pu said: "In the first battle of Jiangning, I didn't be able to wrap up the luxury family, and many people felt a pity for their intestines, how could they earn back with interest this time!" It's hateful, the cavalry camp is not needed. "Speaking of excitement, the spit is flying, and I just hate not being able to lead the troops into battle in person.

Lin Jian heard that Zhou Pu was eager to try, and he was not like this.

Being in a high position, everything is small, he is in Jiangning City, and when he eats a table of wine, someone has to test the poison before him, and it is already a luxury to lead the troops to rush to the battlefield again.

Lin Jian will not be willful, but as a man, it is always okay to fantasize about galloping across the battlefield.

"Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Tan, mountains and rivers are connected, and General Zhou will carry all the horse armor with the army, and he is not afraid of increasing the pressure on logistics." Gao Zongting said with a smile.

Horse armor is the equipment of heavy cavalry, and if you can't fight in formation, heavy cavalry can't play a role - as a traditional general, how many people don't have the illusion of driving heavy cavalry to break the enemy's formation?

Zhou Pu led the cavalry battalion to fight with him this time, mainly acting as the guards and horses of the forest binding, mainly light cavalry, but the equipment of the two battalions of heavy cavalry was still carried with the army, so he expected it to come in handy. And the Shangrao war has been fought for so long, and the cavalry battalion has always existed as the flank of the escort infantry formation, and everyone makes fun of Zhou Pu about this from time to time.

Zhou Pu took a sip and said: "This trip is not useful, when you go to fight Hulu in the coming year, you will always have nothing to say!" ”

Everyone laughed, at this time, Chen Yan's command post went out of the camp to the dock, preparing to board the ship, Lin Jian waved his whip and said: "The extravagant flying bear will probably breathe a sigh of relief that the road in Shanxi was washed away by the flood!" He spoke, a smile of pity on his lips.

Gao Zongting smiled lightly and said: "Extravagant Flying Bear is also brave and strategic, but the master's public plan has come out of the realm known to the world, and it is difficult to prevent anyone coming over!" ”

Lin Jian smiled and said, "It's not a 'money' word yet?" ”

Hundreds of thousands of stone of warship materials were transported from thousands of miles into Guanxiling, and then a large number of warships were assembled in a short period of time by secretly setting up a shipyard. This is equivalent to bypassing the pass and eyeline guarded by the luxury family, and transferring the elite naval army of Huaidong into Jiangxi to fight, the resources consumed are enough to start another war.

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

Taowu Pass is a pass slope, across the middle reaches of Shanxi, there is a dock port in the south of the pass, it is named because of the peach forest, and this ridge at the foot of the forest is named because of the peach dock.

The damming of the Taowu Pass and the barrage, including Taowu, flooded a large area of land south of the Taowu Pass into a lake.

The Hanging Lake was completely emptied due to two discharges, the Shanxi River was restored to its original appearance, and the gentle slopes, river beaches, and low depressions on the south side of Taowu Pass were also reexposed, but they became muddy due to the long-term flooding, and it was difficult for pedestrians to pass.

From the peach blossom pass slope, there is a road leading to the dock port, which was also flooded by the water, and a large amount of silt was piled up. However, after the water receded, a large number of soldiers were mobilized to clear the mud from the road, and quickly paved with charcoal slag, and in one day, the road connecting the old dock was rebuilt.

At the mouth of the Taowu Dock, where aquatic plants are still hung on the dock, eight newly-built warships have been stationed.

Su Pinxiao led the generals of the navy to board the warship first and scattered on the periphery, but for the time being, he had not crossed the remnant dam a step; There are more sailors, shipwrights and sailors who have entered the dock port one after another to stand by, but more warships are still parked in the dock of the dock and are being dragged into the water one after another.

A dam was built to intercept the river to create a hanging lake, and the boat yard was built on the lake's edge. After the lake receded, between the boat yard and the river bank, there was a muddy field about five miles wide, but the boat trough dug in advance was still roughly the same.

Although the trough is filled with silt and aquatic weeds, the empty boat is dragged between them, which does not add much resistance, and the real hardship is the soldiers and people who trek barefoot in the mud to drag the boat into the water.

However, the morale of the Huaidong Army was high, not to mention the soldiers, and the conscripted men also implemented the new policies with the new policies in their hometowns, and the tax reductions and exemptions were good, and there were extra money and food to obtain, and they also regarded military service as a pleasure and did not feel their suffering.

In the middle of April, the people stepped barefoot in the muddy ground, put the rope on their shoulders, the rope was deeply strained into the flesh, bent forward, and more than 100 or hundreds of people dragged a newly built empty ship laboriously forward, not feeling its pain, and shouting in unison "Yo hey, yo hey" The sound of the earth-shaking trumpet.

One after another, the warships secretly built in the shipyard were pulled from the shipyard into the Shanxi River through the muddy ground one after another, and the shipwrights and sailors boarded the ships from the dock to complete the reorganization of the water camp quickly and orderly......

The original plan was for Su Pinxiao to lead the navy to attack the Zhejiang-Fujian navy in the Xinjiang River to remove the obstacles to the waterway, so as to ensure that the Chen Yan Institute could take the Shanxi and Xinjiang waterways by warship and directly insert them into the hinterland behind Shangrao, land behind the enemy, and complete the division and interception of the enemy troops in Shangrao.

The reason for the second dam excavation and water release is mainly due to the fact that after the first discharge, a large number of beams, houses, trees and other debris along the coast that have been washed out or pulled out will accumulate into the river channel with the receding water, which will form river siltation.

The second discharge is intended to clear up these possible blockages and remove obstacles to the way forward for naval warships.

Secondary water release is not technically difficult, and the dam was built in sections. The middle of the river is based on cage stones, and the river banks on both sides are piled up with earth and embankments, and even if the embankment fails, it is impossible to collapse at the same time. First, the earth embankments were dug from both sides to form the first flood discharge with the largest water potential to the downstream Shanxi. Then, the supporting timber on the side of the base of the stone dam is removed, and the dam is completely destroyed, and the second water release is formed.

In fact, it was difficult for Ge Siyu to accurately grasp the timing of the two flood discharges, and Lin Jian only asked him to form two flood peaks in obvious succession. The main force of the Zhejiang and Fujian Army's water camp in Shangrao couldn't wait to enter the Shanxi River to meet the department of the Extravagant Bear, and directly destroyed the secondary water discharge, which was really an unexpected joy for the Huaidong Army.

When Lin Jian heard that most of the Zhejiang and Fujian army in Shangrao had been destroyed like this, he was also stunned for a moment and then laughed with everyone.

In this way, there is no need for Su Pinxiao to lead his troops to annihilate the naval forces of the Zhejiang and Fujian army on the Xinjiang River, and can directly make Chen Yan lead the first town division of the Chongcheng Army to attack from the waterway, and completely turn the roundabout interception into a surprise attack!

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

More than 30 warships capsized in Shanxi, only two warships survived, and nearly 3,000 soldiers died at the bottom of the river.

On the night of the 18th, Hao Feixiong led his troops to trek through the muddy land washed away by the great water and arrived at the south bank of the Xinjiang River. The muddy land of less than ten miles exhausted the soldiers, and the baggage carried by the army could only be completely discarded.

Fortunately, there is still a small amount of supplies left in Hengshan City, so that the nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Luxury Flying Bear Department are worried about running out of cooking.

The section of the Xinjiang River that joins the Shanxi River is not open, only more than 400 steps. Due to the extremely strong water that came out of Shanxi twice, the narrow section of the Xinjiang River east of Shangrao City suddenly poured into a flood that could fill a large lake. For a while, indigestion can only gush and overflow to both sides of the strait.

In particular, the north bank of the Xinjiang River, which is at the mouth of the Shanxi River, has been hit head-on, and the impact force is also the strongest, even not weaker than the banks of the middle reaches of Shanxi.

The avenue that traverses the hinterland of Shangrao is located on the north bank of the Xinjiang River, which is relatively easy, and there is a section of road on the north bank of the Xinjiang River that was completely destroyed by the water, which actually blocked the passage of Huaidong soldiers and horses from the direction of jaws and Litang to pursue in a roundabout way.

Although the Huaidong Army's logistical ability to build roads is strong, it will take ten days and eight days to restore the passage of the Shanxi River Valley and the north bank of the Xinjiang River, so that its soldiers and horses can be killed smoothly.

The bear didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Just as Lin Jian expected, although most of the warships of Shangrao's water camp were destroyed and 3,000 soldiers were buried at the bottom of the river, the water washed away the road, making Xu Feixiong think that these would temporarily stop the Huaidong pursuers and give them a chance to breathe.

If the Huaidong Army had been chased from behind, Fei Fei Xiong would not have the confidence to withdraw the main force after the successful break, and the casualties would be controlled below 3,000.

The road behind was washed away by the flood, and he was not worried that the Huaidong army would be able to catch up by land, so he did not rush to retreat westward, so that his troops camped outside the city to rest; Extravagant Fei Xiong, Shi Hejin and other troops will go to the bank of the Xinjiang River to watch the situation......
