Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 731
There is nothing new in the content of Shi Hu's envoy's proclamation, it is just a recitation of the call to action when the middle school sent troops earlier.At the same time, he focused on refuting the earlier call for the Huainan army to disperse to Huaibei. It can be seen that there are also scholars of literature among the slave army who accompanied the army, but he wrote a parallel essay with a generous tone. Wang Xiongcai is careless, and doesn't care about your bad words and slander.

What surprised Shen Zhezi was that at the end of the call, roll calls were made. Including himself, the generals of the Huainan Army Guo Song, Mao Bao, Han Huang, etc. were also included in the roll call. Yu Yi on the road did not miss it, which shows that the slave army is not ignorant of the situation in Huainan.

However, this name-calling is not an insult, but a call to surrender, calling on them to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, so as to save their lives, and even the MG will benefit.For example, Shen Zhezi, if he is willing to lead his troops to surrender, he can be named the county magistrate directly, and he can choose the master who suits him best.

Shen Zhezi's response to this was to order the navy to draw their bows and shoot.He has no interest in Jiehu's princess at all.Even if Shi Le has a daughter as beautiful as a flower, even if it is not in the righteousness, it is a daylily in autumn, and you can tell with your fingers that it will wilt in a few days.

After those envoys shouting along the river were shot back, even if they were led into the camp of the central army of the slave formation, Shi Hu was very angry and laughed back when he learned that Shen Zhezi was so arrogant and tough: "The barbarians in Nanxiang have little knowledge after all. I He also said that this raccoon Shen Weizhou is a man of insight, full of foresight, but he turned out to be just a conservative and mediocre person. Since he has no way out, there is no need to be polite. Take a short rest today, and start tomorrow after breakfast Gong Yingkou! If you can’t go down within three days, the supervisor will return to the camp and be punished!”

Although he relied on his soldiers to put on a majestic and majestic momentum, the focus of the initial attack could only be on the waterway competition.If the waterway cannot be opened up, the hundreds of thousands of troops can only look at the waves and sigh, and stand still in the face of the mighty Huai River.Even if a boat is built near the Huai River right now, with the presence of Yingkou Huainan Army blocking it, it will be difficult to successfully transport the brigade across the Huai River.

As the first battle in the south and Yingkou attacking the waterway fortress, no matter whether it can be defeated or not, the momentum must be fought first.So in tomorrow's battle, Shi Hu personally selected the generals and ordered the forward general Zhang Jackal to be in charge of the first round of offense.

After Zhang Jackal took the order, he also knew that his responsibility was heavy and he dared not neglect it. He returned to the front line and selected [-] brave soldiers who were independent of the camp and distributed them with fine armor and sharp blades.Before it was dark, the battalion was already slaughtering cattle and sheep, cooking and feasting for the public. After dark, the soldiers who had eaten their meals all went back to the camp to sleep and recharge their batteries.Many patrol drills are omitted, and they are fully prepared for battle. This is the preferential treatment only for soldiers who first climbed into the camp.

Early the next morning, all the ministries of the slave army became active.The [-] selected soldiers had already lined up in front of the army, waiting for the general to issue the offensive flag.And Shi Hu also got up early and left the camp, and personally sat on the earthen platform that had been erected after the battlefield, surrounded by all the generals, with heavy armor guarding the front and back, and his power was extremely impressive.

In order to cooperate with the attack on the frontal battlefield, all the ministries of the slave army also made corresponding adjustments.Soldiers on the left and right wings protruded out for dozens of miles, and bamboo rafts and wooden fences were placed along the river to block the Huainan navy cruising on the river and prevent the navy from landing and rushing into battle when the fierce battle was in full swing.

At the same time, in some narrow waterways along the Huai River, there are many slave troops gathering, preparing floating boards and bamboo rafts. Once they find that the Huainan army is inconvenient to dispatch and there are loopholes in the defense line, they will immediately release boards to attack.

On the eve of the war, the atmosphere in this area was unprecedentedly dignified and tense, or because of the fear of the soldiers, even the water flow seemed not as smooth as before.Since last night, the Huainan army has sent boats to Yingkou to increase troops. Until dawn, the boats carrying troops have not stopped, and they continue to travel from Shouchun to Yingkou.

And in this section of the Huaihe River, there is a warship floating on the water almost every mile, and there are almost no idle waves on the wide water!
Shen Zhezi was sitting on a warship in the Huaihe River. No matter how ambitious he had said before, he would still be nervous when the real thing happened.He didn't leave the city because he couldn't trust Guo Song, he was really not in the mood to sit in the city, and he needed to go to the battlefield to see the battle with his own eyes in order to feel at ease.He also worried that if he entered the camp, it would affect Guo Song's emergency command, so he stayed on the Huai River.

At this time, the boats that were still coming into Yingkou in an endless stream seemed to have a heavy draft, but in fact they were mostly carrying earth, rocks and wood, and there were not many real soldiers.Now, apart from retaining the necessary emergency defensive forces in other places, most of the rest have been concentrated in the camps around Yingkou.

Suspicious tactics similar to bluffing may not be able to hide the opponent's commanders and generals, but they can still bring a lot of psychological pressure to those ordinary soldiers.As for the defenders, the frequent entry and exit of the rear arks also reminded them over and over again that they are not fighting alone, but have a strong backup, which is a stability for the army.In addition to inspiring soldiers to fight to the death, the desperate strategy of breaking the boat and breaking the boat may also disintegrate the fighting spirit, causing the soldiers to collapse without fighting, and self-defeating every minute.

"attack!"

A loud and violent roar sounded from the front line of the slave formation, followed by drums that shook the sky.A total of [-] slave soldiers were formed into three neat square formations from the left, middle and right by the armored soldiers. Accompanied by heavy drums, they slowly pushed towards the opposite camp.

In addition to these [-] fierce soldiers, thousands of laborers have already been driven out of the formation by the cavalry, or they used carts, or carried a lot of soil bags on their shoulders, rushed forward to the front of the formation, and began to fill The trench on Pingqian Road has been filled with water.

The earth bag fell in the trench, the river overflowed quickly, and the road became muddy and slippery. Some soldiers stumbled and fell into the trench, and were immediately pierced by the moso bamboo spikes buried in the trench. The earth bags were continuously thrown into the ditch, and the struggling limbs gradually became weak, and soon the corpse was buried in it!

Similar trenches are densely covered with six or seven trenches outside the camp, completely covering an area with a radius of several miles to the left and right.And between these deep trenches, there are also wooden fences for rejecting horses, some of which are half buried in the soil, and some are directly erected on the ground.At this time, behind these horse-rejecting wooden fences, the Huainan Army's crossbowmen had already lined up.

Seeing that although the slave army leveled the two outer trenches slowly but steadily, and gradually approached within range, and there was an array of slave soldiers who could not see the border at the rear, these soldiers were inevitably nervous. Dry, even the hands and feet feel weak!

"Several years of sharpening the sword, just to kill the slaves! The slave heads are piled up in front of the eyes, just waiting to be cut with a bow and knife! If you win, you will praise the north and south, and you will be proud of the world. If you lose, your head will be in a different place, and there will be no bones left!"

Huainan Army Tian Jing, who was in charge of the first line of defense, was surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers who supervised the formation, ran after the battle, raised his arms and shouted.And the one defending the first line of defense is the Shengwu Army, which Shen Zhezi has valued for a long time. Their weapons and equipment are all superior to the rest of the Huainan Army, so they will naturally put them in the forefront of the battle!
"We are all disaster survivors. Fortunately, we were selected by the son-in-law. We gave them strong armor and gifted them with sharp knives. We have a lot of food and clothing, and the supplies are always in abundance. We will not be dead bones in the mountains and fields. We will strive to be the best in the army! It is right to serve the country and repay the favor. At this time! Killing slaves and hunting skills, worshiping the generals, the power will shake the north and the south! The ugly slaves in the district, An Neng will compete bravely with my Chinese blood!"

At this time, the front line of the slave army was already within range.The first line is force carts in front. Although these carts are far less sophisticated and sturdy than Huainan chariots, they are piled with soil bags and erected with strong shields, and their protective power cannot be underestimated.

"shoot!"

Following an order, the Huainan Army's [-] soldiers all drew their bows and shot at the opposite side, immediately curbing the enemy's steady advance.Those soldiers who pushed the carts in front were nothing more than ordinary strong men recruited from the wild. They had no experience in fierce battles and no armor to protect them. There were slave soldiers threatening with spears, but there were still many people who abandoned their weapons and fled to the rear. Naturally, they were beheaded in front of the battle, and their bodies were all thrown on the cart!
The Shengwu army was brave, and the advance of the slave army was blocked for a while. Fortunately, the carts in front were displayed as stacks.

The shooting lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and both sides suffered casualties. Afterwards, the Huainan army ran out of arrows, so they began to retreat successively, passing the pontoon bridge on the trench.Since there were still trenches blocking each other, it was difficult for the slave soldiers to swarm up for a while, watching the Huainan army retreat in an orderly manner, and at the same time, there was still time to cut and destroy the pontoon bridge.

In this round of confrontation, the two sides lost each other, more than [-] slave soldiers were shot and killed in front of the formation, and although the Huainan army waited for work with ease and was more comprehensively prepared, they also left behind nearly a hundred corpses.When this Huainan army withdrew from the front line, the new line of defense in the rear had been assembled.The purpose of digging trenches outside the camp was to use up the layers of defense to wear down the new momentum of the slave army. Even if they broke into the camp, they would become a weary army.

Naturally, such a result cannot be explained to the slave army who came from the south.Zhang Jack, who was supervising the battle on the front line, could even feel the cold gaze of King Zhongshan who was rushing behind him, and he couldn't help becoming irritable.

But there is no way to be impatient. The Huainan Army has taken advantage of the right time and place, and its defenses are extremely comprehensive and cumbersome.Although the slave army is more than ten times larger than the Huainan army, there is only such a large battlefield in Yingkou to attack. Even if people pile up on top of each other, they cannot fully utilize the strength of the large army.The only way to use this kind of tough battle is to destroy the many lines of defense set up by the Huainan Army step by step.

In fact, according to Zhang Hao's idea, there is really no need to rush to attack Yingkou. If a breakthrough can be made in the narrow part of the upper reaches of Yingshui, the large army boats can go down the river, and form a coordinated attack with the land, Yingkou can easily win a battle.Even the king of Zhongshan didn't have to rush to the south, he could sit in the back and dispatch the troops slowly, and wait until the Taobao had a breakthrough in Runan, control the upper reaches of the Huai River, and the two armies jointly attacked, directly breaking through the Huai River defense line, and the troops were approaching. Under Shouchun City!
Either way, it is much better than rushing to launch a strong attack right now.

"Master June? Shit, Master June!"

Zhang Jack hated to slander, and then led the supervisor to press himself up, roaring: "Quick attack! If you can't attack the enemy camp, you are not allowed to retreat!"
