The struggle of the reborn prince

The Jiangling water army was like a dragon swimming in the great river, disrupting the entire fleet of the Jin army into chaos.After a chaotic battle, they overtook the entire enemy fleet and lined up in front of them to block the river channel. The broken wood and rotten boards floating on the river surface, the broken corpses, the pink river water and the terrified golden army were all they just now. masterpiece.

"How could this happen?" Xu Wen seemed to have suffered a stroke suddenly, the muscles on his face were twitching non-stop, these enemy ships caught up like the wind, and the stalking made his fleet half disabled. And his plan basically fell through.

"Du Shuai, fight or go?" The answering lieutenant still looked at the commander adoringly, thinking that he would definitely come up with a solution.

"Fight, fight to the death!" Xu Wen said while gritting his molars. He knew that with the speed of the Song army's warships, he would not be able to escape their pursuit. It is considered to have fulfilled his first name.

"Follow orders..." The lieutenant general was a little vague, the commander was in a hurry, ready to do his best!

"Lead by the flagship, and the rest of the warships will follow me closely to fight the enemy!" Xu Wen took his sword from his hand, stood at the bow of the ship, and shouted.Then the commander-in-chief flag was raised, the ship was full of sails, and all the troops rushed towards the Song army blocking the front in unison.

'Crack, click...' Just as the two armies were preparing to meet the enemy, the situation changed suddenly, with lightning and thunder, choppy waves, and heavy rain pouring down.

"Sail down, wedge-shaped battle formation!" The Jin army's warship followed the wind and water, and came with an indomitable momentum, trying to break through the Song army's interception. Du Feng saw that Xu Dadao was going all out.Although the enemy army has suffered heavy losses, they still have a numerical advantage. It is really difficult for them to stop them with their weak line of defense, regardless of casualties.Therefore, Du Feng changed the long snake formation into a wedge-shaped formation, forming a slope with a large mouth and a small bottom on the river surface. This not only facilitates the firepower of the ships, but also weakens the layers of resistance after the Jin army rushes in.

'Boom', the first ship fired first, and the bow of the oncoming enemy ship was pierced instantly, and the sailors fell into the river, ups and downs in the storm, and everyone knew that it was difficult to survive in such weather.The rest of the ships also fired one after another, and then all the machine guns fired. Everyone had the idea of ​​seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. They couldn't help but want to avoid fatal injuries, and obediently got into the deadly funnel set by the Song army.

The heavy rain drenched the firewood and rockets on the Jin army's ship, and lost their most powerful weapons. The Song army's ferocious strafing also made them unable to lift their heads. They could only bend down and paddle desperately to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible. , Their ambition to fight the enemy decisively at this moment has long been shattered by the Jiangling navy, and they want to quickly get rid of these difficult opponents and escape from birth.

And Xu Wen also lost control of the fleet at this moment, commanding the flagship to rush towards Du Feng's command ship, as if he wanted to fight a duel between the captains.He stood on the bow of the ship with the horizontal end of the knife in both hands in front of his chest, his gray beard and hair fluttering in the wind, despite the whipping of the storm, he remained motionless.The bullets fired by Song Jun seemed to be afraid of its power, and the soldiers around him were also shot down one by one, but he was unscathed.

Xu Wen looked at the enemy ship that was getting closer, tightly held the big knife in his hand, turned his face to look at his subordinates who had followed him for many years, with a sad smile on his face. The soldiers may also be infected by this tragic atmosphere, roaring and rowing their oars, rushing towards the enemy's flagship to inflict heavy damage on it, and they will not hesitate to die with them.

"Kill..." Seeing that the two ships were about to collide, the Song army's warship stopped suddenly, and the Jin army's warship passed by, making a teeth-piercing creaking sound. Dao leaped vigorously, intending to jump into the Song boat to fight, and the soldiers who followed him were also ready to join the battle.

'Pa, pa...' Just as the Jin soldiers were passing the boat, the soldiers of the Song boat who were lying behind the ship's side suddenly got up and raised their guns and shot. Among them, the soldiers behind also suffered heavy casualties, and the soldiers on the Song boat took the opportunity to throw the cables to bind them. Capture the enemy flagship.

"Ahem... die by your own hands, happy!" At this time, Xu Wen, who was seriously injured and fell into the water, was caught by the hook, and the sailors of the Song Dynasty dragged him aboard, snatched the big knife he hadn't let go, and put it on his neck. Xu Wen coughed twice, spurting blood from his mouth, looked at Song Jun beside him and laughed.

"A defeated general is not brave enough to speak, what can you say, a traitor?" Du Feng asked, looking down at the half-dead Xu Wen.

"Hehe, if the Song Dynasty had a clear leader in the past, and the navy was so powerful, why should I invest in gold... For the sake of being a Han Chinese, send me home!" Xu Wen has already seen what Du Feng is saying here The leader who did the calculation, raised his finger with difficulty and pointed to Dongfang Dao.

"Oh, if I knew why today, I promised you!" Du Feng sighed and fulfilled his last wish, and asked the soldier to remove the broadsword across his neck.

"Thank you, little brother..." Xu Wen showed a satisfied smile on his face, sat up and raised his hands to cup his hands, and suddenly jumped into the water with all his strength, causing a lot of exclamations.

"Don't shoot, he's already dead!" Du Feng raised his hand to stop the soldiers who were about to shoot, and raised his hand to give a military salute to Xu Wen, who was floating downstream on the water. His body will float downstream into Liaodong Bay, maybe it will float to the coast of Dengzhou with the tide, which is the place where he defected to the Song Dynasty.

"Commander, dedicating the head of an enemy chieftain is a great feat, so we just let him go?" An officer said unwillingly as he watched the corpses disappearing in the rain and fog.

"Don't you still have his sword in your hand? It's the same!" Du Feng glanced at the sword in his hand and said, "Although this man betrayed Song Jiangjin, he still knew that he was a Han before he died. Returning to his homeland, he can be regarded as a man, if we make him a headless ghost, it will be against our name of benevolence and righteousness."

While speaking, the flagship of Jinshui Army has been seized, and the commander-in-chief flag was lowered and replaced with the battle flag of Songshui Army. Seeing this, the remnants of Jinshui Army who were still stubbornly had no heart to fight.In the evening, the Jiangling navy suppressed the captured flagship and surrendered troops back to Sanjiangkou. The battle here had long since ended, and there was not even blood on the corpses left on the river, as if nothing had happened. Also disappeared in this vast river.

A heavy rain fell for a day and a night, the river surged, and warships could sail in and out freely. The Song navy entered the Liang River again, and the Jinshui army was completely destroyed, so the future was clear. The horse infantry landed fifty miles outside Liaoyang City.Wan Yanyong turned pale with shock, while going up to the capital, he summoned all the troops to set up a camp twenty miles outside the city to resist the attack of the Song army...

…………

Since the Mawei Corps entered the Liaohe River, the news was basically cut off. Zhao Tun, who was stationed in Jinzhou, could not know the situation of the battle, but he could tell from the reaction of Jinzhou that there was no big war in Liaoyang, otherwise Wanyan Liang would not be so calm Most of them stayed in the city and were indifferent to the siege.

"Your Majesty, Li Cheng's corps has suddenly accelerated its march in the past two days, heading towards Jinzhou, and has arrived in Haibei Prefecture this morning." Zhao Yong presided over the daily military briefing in the camp's imperial tent as usual, and he reported first.

"Hey, what is Li Cheng doing now? He has been on the road for so many days, and now he has marched hundreds of miles all day and night, will something happen?" Zhao Lian marked Li Cheng's location on the map. said in wonder.

"This man has always been treacherous and cunning. If he had taken the Qianzhou Road, he would have saved at least three hundred miles, but he chose to take the Haibeizhou Road. He obviously knew that our army did not want to come here to die. He wanted to wait until we captured Jinzhou. He can withdraw troops quickly, escape our attack, and save his own life." Dou Jun said with a grin.

"Hmph, he must have received an urgent order from the emperor to rescue Jinzhou quickly. Wan Yanliang is the emperor's celebrity waiting for him to rescue him. How dare he not come under the order?" Liu Biao's opinion was different. different again.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, but the emperor remained silent, Zhao Yong asked.

"Gao Chong, how many days will it take for you to capture Jinzhou?" Zhao Tang looked at Gao Chong with an irrelevant answer.

"Your Majesty, as long as you give an order, I promise to take Jinzhou within three days." Gao Chong got up and said.

"Okay, there are two main tasks at the moment." Zhao Tang stood up and turned around in the tent. Everyone knew that the emperor must be in trouble, so they all sat up straight and listened, "First, I'm checking the teeth. Set up an ambush on the mountain and resolutely wiped out Li Cheng's troops; secondly, immediately after the battle started over there, the team launched a general attack on Jinzhou. The battle must be over within two days, and then the whole army marched to Liaoyang Prefecture. At the same time, ordered Zhao Li's corps to finish the rest and enter Jinzhou from the grassland The country threatens Huining City."

"Your Majesty, why is this? Is our plan to besiege the city and fight for aid no longer implemented?" Zhao Yong asked anxiously. After the Mawei corps set off, the emperor wanted to use Jinzhou as a bait to attract the Jin army to keep coming, and gradually annihilate it. Consuming the strength of the enemy army and reducing the pressure for the next battle, but now the emperor suddenly changed the established battle plan, and it seemed that there was no reason at all.

"Li Cheng's march was slow and he took a long detour because he was worried that our army would lose his way back after capturing Liaoyang Mansion. The gains and losses of Jinzhou were only part of his consideration. Now he suddenly speeds up his march, it must be because of the attack of the Mawei Corps. If he was hindered or suffered heavy losses, he lost the ability to attack Liaoyang Mansion in the short term, so he was able to come to rescue Jinzhou boldly, and we must quickly end the battle and rush to the rescue of the Mawei Corps." Zhao Tong said.

"Your Majesty thinks that something happened to the Mawei Corps? Is it too hasty to infer from this?" Zhao Lian said with a look of surprise. Now the strength of one general can fight alone, not to mention the fact that two generals are dispatched this time. With the help of the warships of the Dengzhou Navy, even if the attack fails, there must be more than enough self-protection. It is unbelievable that they can be frustrated.

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. Now that the news is cut off, the enemy suddenly becomes bold. Maybe all of this has nothing to do with the Mawei Corps, but we can only look at it from the worst angle when the enemy's situation is unknown. Think about the problem, but you can't take it for granted to guess the consequences." Zhao Tuo glanced at the crowd and said, how could he not understand the combat effectiveness of his own army, but he couldn't take chances, countless expeditions in history failed because of poor communication, One side lost, while the other side was still fighting according to the established plan. As a result, the lone army was taken advantage of by the enemy and suffered a disastrous defeat.

"Your Majesty, I understand, we will immediately prepare to attack the city and guarantee to take Jinzhou within two days." Gao Chong said.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates will immediately lead the army to set up an ambush on Chaya Mountain, and will never let the enemy's reinforcements arrive at Jinzhou city alone." Zhou Jun, the commander of the Zhongyong Army, asked for a fight.

"Your Majesty, ambushes are what our wolf generals are best at. Let us do it. We will definitely let that old boy Li Cheng come and go!" The wolf general Zhuge Hong also rushed to go.

"You wolves will be the main force to attack Jinzhou, let Zhou Jun go this time!" Zhao Tong said firmly, without giving them another chance to perform...

Jinzhou City is adjacent to the Bohai Sea in the south and the Songling Mountains in the north. It is located at the eastern end of the Liaoxi Corridor, between the Xiaoling River and the Hara River. It is a transportation hub connecting Northeast China and North China.Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, built the state with Han captives, set up a state capital to manage the Han captive households in the Central Plains who were good at weaving workshops and raising silkworms, and produced silk brocade exclusively for the royal family. Therefore, it was named Jinzhou after brocade.The circumference of the city is about five li, and it is more than two feet high. There is a moat outside, one foot and two feet deep, three feet and five feet wide, and there are city gates on all sides.

In order to prevent the Song army from invading the north, Wu Shu ordered the construction of boundary trenches, and at the same time ordered the cities to repair the city, prepare the city defenses, and store grain and grass.Jinzhou is guarding the gateway to the Liaodong area, so it is natural to carry out large-scale construction projects, repairing the Wengcheng and Yangmacheng, and diverting water into the moat.After learning of the Northern Expedition of the Song Army, Wan Yanliang mobilized soldiers and civilians to go around the city and dig two deep trenches at a distance of a hundred steps, and arranged corners and pits.

After the Song army took Anchang, the two armies fought more than [-] times, and the Jin army was difficult to resist.Wan Yanliang ordered to fortify the walls and clear the fields, and all the surrounding fortresses retreated into the city, and the soldiers retreated to the trenches, set up camp and stood by the city.After the Song army cleared the periphery, the soldiers went to the bottom of the city, surrounded the city with villages, and faced each other with trenches.Zhao Tun gave an order, and the three armies moved together.The Zhongyong Army quietly left the camp that night, went northward around the city and entered Chaya Mountain to set up an ambush for reinforcements, and moved to the Xiazhai ten miles south of Jinzhou City before setting up camp.

At this time, under the city of Jinzhou, the Song army gathered the four armies of Leopard General, Wolf General, Tiger Wing Army, and Zhongyong Army, and they went to the surrounding villages to besiege the city. The flag confuses the enemy.Gao Chong chose the west city as the breakthrough point, and the wolf will be the main force to attack the city; at the same time, the leopard general and the tiger wing army will be the assists, attacking the west gate and the north gate respectively.After receiving the order, the luggage transported a large number of siege equipment to the front, and the artillery also built positions to provide fire support for the various ministries. r1152
