Chapter 904
After deciding to use Lingchangjin as a key defensive location, the Huainan Army also quickly mobilized, and all the soldiers who had been scattered along the Yellow River all moved to Lingchangjin.

Because of the foundation of the enemy general Chen Shi's earlier management, it saved a lot of initial fortifications. Chen Shi retreated in a hurry, and many of the original camps were too late to dismantle, but they were a little messy. You can move in directly.

But the basis of speaking is actually only the most basic camp, and as for the defense, there is basically no.Moreover, the enemy may launch an attack at any time, and there is no chance to make large-scale construction in such a short period of time. Otherwise, the enemy will attack halfway through the construction, and it will become more chaotic and unfavorable for defense.

As for some large-scale offensive and defensive weapons, the Huainan Army currently does not have them at all.Therefore, it seems that the Huainan Army is defending the territory in this battle, but in fact it is no different from a field battle.In particular, Lingchangjin is surrounded by tidal flats. Once the battle starts, there will be no changes in formation or coordination of arms.

Therefore, before the enemy army came to attack, the most Huainan army could do was to mow the dense and miscellaneous grasses and other shelters around them, in order to expand the coverage of long-range weapons as much as possible. Cooperating with the fire defense, it can be regarded as gaining a little defensive advantage.

"Usually in battle, one would take advantage of the crowd, or the strength of the machine, or take advantage of the location, or take the opportunity, but this time the defense of Lingchang does not have all the advantages. Only by fighting with strength and death can we obtain a one-to-two chance of winning. Although there were quite a few small victories before, they must not underestimate the enemy!

The enemy of Hebei has been ferocious for a long time. In previous years, it even ruled the Central Plains and caused chaos in China.Now that we have advanced so far, there is no lack of luck. If this battle is unfavorable, if we try to advance to this point in the future, we will inevitably have to fight bloody battles. I don’t know how many heroes of Huainan will be buried here. Even if they win, they will be humiliated. See you Jiangdong's elders! "

During this period of time, Shen Zhezi also stayed near Lingchangjin, never leaving.There are not many places to inspect this simple camp, so most of the time is spent walking among the ranks to boost morale: "But you don't have to worry, Huainan was also a war-torn wasteland in the early years, especially worse than the riverside at this time. But now How? What we Huainan soldiers lack most is heroism in facing difficulties. Even if there were victories in previous years, the time flow was mostly fluke and some contempt.

However, today, with few people, exhausted troops, useless, and far away from home, it is a battle that is bound to be defeated. The only thing you rely on is the strength of your flesh and blood, and you will win the victory in the defeat. strong! "

When the soldiers heard Shen Zhezi's words, their expressions were not lacking in dignity.To be honest, in the past few years, Huainan has experienced a lot of wars, big and small, but there are really not many situations like today's complete disadvantage.

As Shen Zhezi said, the Huainan army has no advantage in all aspects, and even this key defensive combat location may not be the direction of the enemy's attack.

Therefore, in Shen Zhezi's heart, he really didn't have much confidence in the outcome of this battle. Although he believed that the Huainan Army could definitely be called a powerful army, he always fought with great confidence in every battle, big or small, in the past. Do everything possible to strengthen the advantages of the Huainan Army from all aspects, and do not completely place the Huainan Army in a combat environment of absolute disadvantage.

But this time, as a lone army that went straight to the Yellow River, he himself was really powerless. Whether he could win this battle would depend on the fighting spirit of the Huainan Army soldiers.

But fighting spirit is really too difficult to figure out. Some people want to survive, some want to preserve their homeland, and some want to make a fortune. They can put aside the great fear between life and death and risk their lives to fight.

Moreover, Shen Zhezi has always felt that war is the most complicated and intense game, and if anyone who fights must be put to death and survive, that is the failure of the general.It is the duty of the soldiers to fight against the enemy, but this time, it is indeed his dereliction of duty not to create a superior battlefield environment for the soldiers of the Huainan Army.

In fact, this battle can be avoided. The Huainan army deployed defenses along the river, which was originally reluctant.Now that it is certain that the enemy army will take advantage of the weakness of the Huainan army to attack, the best way is not to take a step back in the past, wait for the successor army to go north, and then go north to attack with all its strength.

But in this way, the subsequent combat pressure of the Huainan Army will be much greater, and it may have to pay several times or even more.

And there is another point, that is, the Huainan Army will inevitably fight on a large scale in Hebei in the future. Hebei is quite unfamiliar to the Huainan Army, regardless of its scenery or terrain, and it can be described as a brand new challenge.

Moreover, according to Shen Zhezi's style, it is impossible for him to compromise too many interests with the people of Hebei so as to use them for his own use to reduce the intensity of future wars.

Therefore, in the future, there will be more and more unplanned encounters. Even if Shen Zhezi can control the general strategic direction, it is necessary for Huainan soldiers to maintain their own strength in local battles that are unexpected and not dominant like now. Qi Jin is not only for winning, but also for survival!

"At that time, many people used national scholars to mark me, and I was always proud of it. But ask yourself, since Yongjia fell to Shenzhou Luchen, traitors and rebels rose in the Central Plains, the situation is sad, and the people are suffering. Only I in Huainan beat the Jiehu thieves with the lonely and weak Rebellion, rebuilding the Paradise in Heaven with the barren land of hundreds of battles, is it the work of one person! If there were no Huainan armored warriors who gave up their lives to fight and repeatedly defeated powerful enemies, who would the common people know about Shen Weizhou?

To be able to work with you, not to worry about catastrophe, not to be trapped by loneliness, even if the sky is falling, I have my own iron frame in Huainan to bear it, and the rest of my life is a great fortune!How many people in the world are called lonely, how many people are widowed, have you ever asked me a strong man in Huainan?Raise troops in Huainan in March, and drink the water of the Yellow River together in June. I will go strong with you, and I will not retreat a step from here today!Before the battle, the only question is, I put my life in your hands, are you willing to sacrifice my life here? "

"Fight to the death for the governor!"

In the crude camp, the roars of the Huainan Army soldiers could be heard everywhere. Although it was not very orderly, it was full of murderous aura for a while, which made people feel moved.

After Shen Zhezi heard the response from the soldiers, he felt relieved for a while, but he didn't continue to stir up feelings. After all, such an excited state would also consume a lot of mental and physical strength.

Although the troops of the Huainan Army have gathered in the camp of Lingchangjin, and even Suanzao City has only symbolically set up three or four hundred troops, and has given up the defense of the city. Pass the message.But even so, there were only three thousand soldiers in the entire Lingchang camp.

As for the division of the skating platform, even if they withdraw, they may not be able to catch up with the big battle. Moreover, those people are originally there to defend and manage the skating platform.

Of course, apart from the [-] soldiers in the camp, there were [-] cavalry led by Xiao Yuandong cruising nearby.But Xiao Yuandong's cavalry were not prepared to defend Lingchangjin. Once the enemy did not choose to attack Lingchangjin, or found that Lingchangjin was difficult to conquer and chose another landing site, the cavalry would come in handy. Obstruct and contain the enemy, and provide opportunities and time for the defenders of Lingchangjin to change positions.

Now in Lingchangjin, almost all the commanders and generals are young and strong in Huainan.Although the current situation is extremely unfavorable to the Huainan Army, these generals are still fierce. On the one hand, they have the spirit of being unafraid of tigers. , The opportunity is in front of us, it just depends on who can grasp it.

However, when they heard Shen Zhezi's statement that he would stay and stick to Lingchangjin, everyone still hesitated. As Shen Zhezi's disciple, Bian Zhang persuaded: "Tian Ni, the thief general, is just a dog in the stone thief household. It's just talent, there is really no need for the governor to personally enter the battle to supervise the battle. What's more, the enemy may not go straight to Lingchangjin, if they want to move to fight, it is necessary for the governor to dispatch after the town..."

The rest of the generals also advised Shen Zhezi one after another. On the one hand, they really felt that the bandit Tian Nina was not worthy of the governor to fight in person. On the other hand, they were also worried that if the battle did not go well, the governor might be put in danger.If something dangerous happened to the governor on the battlefield, then they would really become sinners in Huainan.

After Shen Zhezi heard the words, he smiled and waved his hands: "There is no need to say anything about this matter. I am not here to supervise the battle. When the battle is coming, I still have to rely on you to dispatch the enemy. But I have thousands of strong men here in Huainan. If even a mere Tenny can force me to retreat, what are you talking about sweeping Hebei! You and I have worked together for a long time and know each other well, I hope you will not let me suffer the humiliation of retreating!"

When the generals heard this, they knew that the governor had made up his mind, and it was useless to talk, so they simply shut up, but secretly decided in their hearts that if the enemy really came to attack Lingchangjin, even if they were desperate, they would never allow these bandits to rush to In front of the account.

It was a quiet night. Although the soldiers of the Huainan Army knew that a fierce battle might happen at any time, they didn't care about it. Except for some scout boats and rafts cruising on the river, the rest of them all slept peacefully and recuperated their strength. .

Before dawn, the hook of the moon had already fallen to the western sky, and the night still shrouded the river. There were no ripples or even scales in the cool wind. The whole world seemed to be completely soaked in ink, and only a few dim lights were dying.

Bang... Bang!

The loud sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded, and the scouts on the river surface were also intermittently blown by the night wind. The warning roar: "Enemy attack, enemy attack..."

The originally quiet camp suddenly came to life, and bonfires were lit outside the tents. In a very short period of time, the soldiers of the Huainan Army were fully assembled, and they marched in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective commanders in units of Shi and Qu. Enter their respective defense zones, and then pick up their knives, guns, bows and crossbows, facing the Yellow River shrouded in night, and stand in silence in the battle formation.

Shen Zhezi also walked out of the military tent surrounded by his own soldiers, and then sat on the couch that was assumed to be in the open space in the center of the camp, surrounded by bonfires, and he could see it from any direction.

In this battle, he didn't intend to leave here. If he left, either the enemy army had been killed or the Huainan army was defeated.He wants to see with his own eyes that the powerful Huainan army he has created, fights bravely even in a completely unfavorable situation, and kills the Hulu!

On the front line, with the sound of rushing water, the scouts were escorted ashore.Soon, many dots of lights appeared in the field of vision. They floated on the river and quickly floated towards the south bank. The outlines of the boats that formed a line were gradually outlined clearly.
