(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

With the strategy of doubtful soldiers, Lin Jian was not very sure, and he could not accurately know the situation on Changshan Island at this time, and the top priority was to annihilate the enemy at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain. Taking Daheng Island, it is the luxury of Feihu to lead his troops to raid Chongzhou, and he can also lead the boat division to calmly receive reinforcements.

The camp of Donghai Kou at the northeast foot of Jinji Mountain is sandwiched between the slopes and valleys of the mountainside, and the Qingshi Creek flows out from it. Although the terrain of the enemy fortress located on the south bank and below the north cliff of Qingshi Creek is not very steep, except for the strange rocky valley, the road that can be climbed is the narrow slope on the south bank that is no more than five steps wide. Although the climbing ramp was less than two miles long, it set up many obstacles for the Kou soldiers who retreated into the camp, and the Kou soldiers used bows and crossbows to defend the wooden rolling stones, making it very difficult to attack on their backs.

Lin Tie made the county soldiers and townships bravely use a big shield against the arrows and stones to clear the ramp obstacles, force the battle line to the enemy base as close as possible, and limit the range of activities of the Kou soldiers in the mountains, and also made the county soldiers and townships bravely dig with knives and guns, and used the whole morning to carve out a simple mountain road in the bushes on the north shore of Qingshi Bay, and transported the parts of the catapult to the slope head on the north bank to erect.

The iron castings made in the world are unbearable to be used repeatedly, the crossbow tip also has extremely high requirements for the elasticity and strength of the material, and the ordinary wood is far from reaching the ideal firing distance, and a catapult can not actually fire many stone bullets in a row to be scrapped, and the cost is quite expensive. However, no matter how expensive it is, for attacking the fortifications, Lin Tie still prefers to concentrate on the use of catapults.

Judging from the experience of storming the capetown fort at the mouth of Qingshiwan five days ago, the enemy's fortification at the northern foot was limited, and the surrounding terrain was relatively gentle, and there were two or three places where catapults could be erected, all of which were factors that prompted Lin Jian to finally decide to attack Daheng Island first.

At midnight (before eleven o'clock), Ge Cunxin calmly led the remnants of the second water camp Suwankou.

The casualties of the 1st Water Battalion were also counted, and the fierce battle at dawn made the casualties of the 1st Water Battalion more than 30%. The First Water Battalion needed to rest and recuperate immediately, and could not be used to engage in the heat of battle. Once the casualty ratio is further increased, the First Water Battalion will be disabled and will not be able to regain its combat effectiveness for a long time.

There are less than 600 remnants on Daheng Island, and Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu have 700 elites in the Chongcheng infantry battalion, in addition to 2,000 county soldiers who dare to fight. It was enough for such troops to attack the enemy's base, so Lin Jian made Ge Cunxin lead the second battalion out of the port to be on guard, and Zhao Qingshan led the first battalion to withdraw into the inner harbor to rest.

The sun in the middle of the corner grazed the treetops of the north cliff of Jinji Mountain and sprinkled dazzling light, strengthening the difficulty of attacking the enemy base.

Zhao Hu personally led the county soldiers to attack the enemy base, the morale of the county soldiers was available, and the heroes fought bravely, after all, the training was insufficient, and there was no experience in dealing with the rain of arrows, wood, and rolling stones from top to bottom.

After clearing the obstacle, it is often easy to disrupt the position of a rough log that has rolled down. There is a huge loophole in the shield array, and it is very easy to be taken advantage of by the enemy's arrows, and they are all shot down by the arrows, and even kill the Kou soldiers from the base, if it is not for Zhao Hu's elite who oppresses the formation to resist in time, it is possible to collapse in the first stroke of the offensive sequence.

Lin Lian, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, frowned, and secretly said that these county soldiers and townships should be of great use, and in addition to continuing to practice, the key is to make up for a group of middle and low-level officers with tactical literacy.

This is what to do after the war, and for now they can only be expected to clear the passage into the enemy base, consume the defensive combat power of the enemy base, and open up an offensive position for the attacking elite of the Chongcheng infantry battalion on the thorny slope in front of the enemy base - after the enemy base is collapsed with catapults, the soldiers of the Chongzhou infantry battalion will be the main force in the fierce battle with the Kou soldiers in the narrow mountainous area.

The use of soldiers is accustomed to casualties, and people are easy to become cold-blooded, but the elite of the Jiangdong Left Army is just that, and the elite is used everywhere, and it can't withstand consumption, and the situation in the world is strange and complicated, and no one can predict when the situation will suddenly change - the general trend of the world can be redeemed, but the first consideration is the survival of the Jiangdong Left Army.

***********

Although there is a more precipitous terrain in Jinji Mountain, the difficulty of building a fort is not trivial - at this time, the camp at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain has been quite steep, at least in the past few decades, except for those who have been trapped and abandoned by food, they have never been attacked head-on.

In the past, Su Tingzhan often saw lever-type catapults, which required more than 10 or 20 people or even dozens or hundreds of people to operate together, and it usually took 50 or 60 steps to set up a position in an open field before they could calmly fire stone bullets.

Su Tingzhan had never seen this kind of catapult equipped by the Jiangdong Left Army, which could be directly erected in a narrow space such as the deck of a warship and only needed three or five people to operate.

The last time it was attacked and the headland was destroyed, it was a big loss of this catapult.

After the battle, Su Tingzhan found craftsmen to imitate this kind of catapult, and also thought that the northern foot camp made of stones was not very steep for the Jiangdong Left Army equipped with this kind of stone-throwing crossbow that could be directly erected in a narrow space, and intended to strengthen the northern foot barracks. But it has only been four days since the last attack, and Su Tingzhan has not had time to do either of these two things.

Hold on until dusk, see the stone wall to the stone bullets crumbling, Jiangdong Left Army from the front to push the cart, carry the wood to advance, and the second son's reinforcements are also nowhere to be seen, Su Tingzhan was forced to abandon the camp, set fire to the warehouse, and led 500 remnants of the army from the narrow road behind the camp to the depths of Jinji Mountain.

Zhao Qingshan, who was watching the battle beside Lin Lian, looked at the fire rising from the remnants of the mountain, and scolded hatefully: "This dog's day, he has a chance to surrender, and he is determined to go to a pot of urine with the luxury family!" ”

There were a lot of fires in the remnants, and Zhao Hu was fearless, leading his troops to chase the remnants through the fire, leaving the fire to the county soldiers and township soldiers behind to extinguish.

Going up from the enemy base, the mountain road became steeper and narrower, and it became more and more difficult to raise the shield to attack, but fortunately, Su Tingzhan led the remnants to retreat, and after the break, the remnants also fought and retreated, and the will to intercept was not very resolute, so that Zhao Hu could lead his troops to climb the mountain behind the tail of the remnants.

Further up, it is the north cliff of Jinji Mountain, on which the Kou soldiers set up a sentry platform, it can be said that it is the last dangerous pass of the East China Sea Kou at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain, Lin Tie stared at the north cliff intently, and discussed the war with Zhao Qingshan in his mouth: "For Su Tingzhan, compared to fighting the five hundred defenders in the narrow road, killing himself and becoming loyal to the luxury family, it is far better to retreat into the mountains to wait for help, which can contain our army more - Su Tingzhan can break into the notoriety of a butcher show talent in eastern Zhejiang, and there will be no lack of material in his chest!" ”

Su Tingzhan walked to the north cliff, seeing that the pursuers were biting so tightly in such a narrow road, he hated it in his heart, the bow and crossbow could not penetrate the big shield, and first sent more than 20 cronies to guard the narrow road to prevent the pursuers from rushing up, and then commanded his subordinates to collect stones and trees everywhere, thinking that it would not be too late to cripple this group of pursuers and then retreat into the mountains and forests......

At this time, listening to the strange sound in the dense forest behind him, Su Tingzhan looked at it in shock, the treetops of the main peak woodland shook, and after a while, countless Jianjia foot soldiers stood out from the forest, and he didn't know how many ambush soldiers were hiding in the forest.

The east and west sides of the north cliff are also steep cliffs, and there are chasing soldiers below, Su Tingzhan is afraid that the back road will be cut off by the ambush soldiers, how dare he fight in the north cliff?

For decades, in addition to being entrenched by pirates, there are no islanders to farm, except for the northern foot of Jinji Mountain, there are mostly shrubs, thorns, dense forests, cliffs and other terrain that is not easy to climb.

Lin Jian expected the possibility of the Kou soldiers abandoning the fort and escaping, so Zhao Hu led the infantry to attack in the front, and Zhou Tong led the light troops to climb the main peak from the flank as an ambush.

Worried that the Kou soldiers would realize that the back road was blocked earlier, but instead provoke their stubborn resistance to the trapped beasts to fall and bring unnecessary casualties to the Jiangdong Left Army, Lin Jian made Zhou Tong lead two hundred foot soldiers in light clothes and simple armor to climb the mountain from the southern foot of the slightly gentler terrain, and have been waiting for the opportunity to fight in the dense forest on the southern slope of the main peak of Jinji Mountain.

Su Tingzhan abandoned the fort and fled, burning the remnants of the fort, Zhou Tong continued to lead the ambush soldiers from the south slope over the main peak of Jinji Mountain, at this time it was just close to the north cliff, and there was no formation.

Fortunately, Su Tingzhan's situation was even worse, and he didn't have any fighting spirit when he saw the ambush soldiers. Su Tingzhan also knew that the general trend was gone, and he just wanted to keep his useful body, so he led his henchmen and cronies first and escaped into the dense forest first.

After the break, more than 20 Kou soldiers gave Zhao Hu to lead his troops to rush under the narrow road, and Zhao Hu and Zhou Tongbing were united, and most of the fleeing Kou were intercepted and killed on the north slope of the main peak of Jinji Mountain......

The terrain around the enemy base at the northern foot is very complicated, and it is impossible to form an impermeable encirclement, which finally gave Su Tingzhan to escape into the dense forest on the eastern slope, and at the same time, nearly 300 remnants escaped, at this time, the sky was dark, and there was no time to enter the dense forest to clear and suppress, Zhou Tong and Zhao Hu temporarily withdrew their troops down the mountain.

At this time, Lin Jian was in the northern foot camp where only the broken walls were left and half of the face was charred, and Zhou Tong walked over to report the battle situation: "Let the surnamed Su escape, and the tail hair has not been caught......"

"Oh, no surprise." Lin Jian said, after all, they were not familiar enough with the terrain of Daheng Island, Su Tingzhan had no intention of fighting to the death, and it would take a little more luck to catch him.

Hearing that Su Tingzhan might gather 300 remnants on the island, he instructed Zhou Tong to send people to temporarily seal the narrow road leading to the top of the mountain, use the remnants of the northern foothills to garrison an elite to block the remnants of Su Tingzhan from the northern foothills, and transfer a battalion of townships to rush to build a Wankou headland, restore a certain defense in a short time as much as possible, and withdraw the main force to the inner harbor warships to rest.

The whole Daheng Island is about 24 miles long from east to west, and the East Peninsula is long and narrow and flat, which can be used for farming; The whole Jinji Mountain is the West Peninsula, about 20 miles around, and there is only one main peak, about 80 zhang high.

Jinji Mountain is not very big, but considering the familiarity of the Kou soldiers with the terrain of Daheng Island, they can still retreat to the East Peninsula at a critical moment to resist stubbornly, even if they do not consider the enemy's aid, it is not possible to clear out the three hundred remnants of the Kou in a short period of three or five days.

Whether to go into the mountains to clear the remnants of Su Tingzhan, how to clear them, and wait for further news from Changshan Island to come before making a decision, we must be prepared at the moment, it is possible to meet the luxury flying tiger department going south, it is possible to rush to Chongzhou, and we must also try our best to avoid the news that Changshan Island is actually a secret chess piece of the Jiangdong Left Army to reach Xiao Taoyuan's ears too early.
