The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 526 The Late Rescue

When Yang Yong and Zhang Mai's naval forces were fighting on the Huaihe River, Du Fuwei's brigade was stationed in Haozhou, 140 miles away.

Haozhou is today's Dingyuan County, Anhui Province. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although it was a small county as big as a county, it was a strategic place. If you want to take Luzhou and Danyang, it is a strategic point.Haozhou is also a famous historical city, which has always been a must for military strategists.Wang Mang once stationed troops here in the Han Dynasty, and it was called Wucheng at that time.During the Three Kingdoms period, it was called Xiapi, where Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought.In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, after several battles, Emperor Wu of Liang changed the name to "Dingyuan" for the first time, and Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty changed its name to Haozhou.

To be on the safe side, Du Fuwei temporarily placed his imperial palace here, less than 150 miles away from the battlefield. This is a safe distance for him as an emperor, but it is not a distance for his cavalry. If necessary, his cavalry can arrive within two hours. In his words, he can attack when he advances, and defend when he retreats.He personally sits here to supervise the battle, with Zhang Mai's [-] navy in front to resist the enemy, the danger of the Huaihe River, and the underwater defense project that cost a lot of money to build, making the Huaihe River the river where Yang Yong's bones are buried.

With this victorious mood, Du Fuwei, served by a large group of concubines and beauties, and under the guard of Kan Ling and other godsons, sat here waiting for the good news.

At the beginning, the good news really came. Yang Yong's warship was blocked by the protective net blocking the river, making it difficult to advance, and suffered heavy losses.Of course, this battle report was sent by Zhang Mai, which is consistent with the news of Du Fuwei's investigation.

Du Fuwei heard that Long Yan was very happy, and secretly said, Zhang Mai really did not pay my trust, so he won the battle.It seems that what I expected is right, Yang Yong's men and horses can only gallop on the dry bank, and when they get into the water, they will cross the river like a bodhisattva. Our country of Wu has rivers, lakes and seas, and they will feel better in the future.

The more Du Fuwei thought about it, the more he felt a sense of accomplishment, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.However, he was not overjoyed. Less than half an hour before the first good news came, the bad news came. Yang Yong personally drove a boat and destroyed their protective net to block the river. Dozens of Yang Yong's warships It has passed!

Du Fuwei didn't believe it at all, how could this be possible?This underwater protection project took a lot of manpower and material resources. There are thick stone pillars and iron pillars every 1.5 meters, and three thick iron chains are connected to each other, forming a network under the water. structure.How strong is this water protection net that is several miles long, so many large and small warships can't rush through it, and Yang Yong can destroy it with a single shot. It's unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Du Fuwei rose up against the case and wanted to kill the reporter, thinking that he was playing tricks, lying about military information, and committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.

The reporter's head has not yet landed, and there is another Ma Ma report, which is basically the same as the previous Ma Ma Bao. Yang Yong has already landed with thousands of volunteers. The two sides are fighting fiercely on the shore, and Wu Jun can no longer stand .

Now Du Fuwei can't sit still on the dragon chair, and he doesn't want to kill the reporter. He walked back and forth before the Longshu case a few times, feeling annoyed in his heart: Yang Yong is really invincible by himself. Was the river blocking fence chosen?Moreover, with only a few thousand rebels ashore, Zhang Mai's 2 horses are not opponents?There are too many weird things today!
At this time, several of his godsons got the news. After entering, they all knelt down and asked for orders to lead troops to support Zhang Mai.

Du Fuwei saw that Kan Ling was the only one among these godsons, thinking that Kan Ling hadn't gotten any news yet.Now Du Fuwei has no confidence in these people at all, because he has been fighting with Yang Yong for more than half a year, and all his men have lost the battle. Wang Xiong, Zhang Mai, these generals who are [-]% victorious in his heart have all followed In the defeat, he felt that he had to use Kan Ling, the last trump card, now.

Therefore, Du Fuwei did not agree to the request of these godsons, but sent an order for Kan Ling to come to see him.

In fact, Kan Ling had already received the news, and he always sent people to pay attention to the Huaihe battle.Because of the former, he volunteered to lead troops across the Huaihe River to fight with Yang Yong, but was rejected by Du Fuwei, and gave Zhang Mai's navy the opportunity to make meritorious service.At that time, Kan Ling felt somewhat disappointed and displeased, but now, Zhang Mai's naval army won first and then lost, which made Kan Ling feel agitated.However, he was not as anxious as Du Fuwei's other godsons, but he felt a little relieved in his heart.He expected Du Fuwei to hear him, so he pretended not to know anything in his tent.

After receiving the imperial decree, Kan Ling did not dare to be negligent. Seeing Du Fuwei knelt down and kowtowed, he said with an expression of ignorance: "I will see my father."

Du Fuwei couldn't wait, "My son is free. Maybe you don't know it. I just got the report. Our army lost the Huaihe Battle. Yang Yong picked our underwater protective net. Thousands of bandits have already When they come ashore, they are unstoppable, Zhang Mai's navy is too strong..."

"Ah? There is such a thing?" Du Fuwei just said this, and Kan Ling pretended to be confused, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"Well, I didn't expect that this Yang Yong is too weird, and the world is unpredictable." Du Fuwei sighed lightly when he said this, and continued, "This place is only more than 100 miles away from the Huaihe battlefield, and there is still time. You lead a cavalry team to rush to support, there must be no mistakes, and you must not let Yang Yong's men and horses cross the river!"

"My son complies with the decree, please rest assured, my father, I will definitely kill all the thieves!" After Kan Ling saluted, he strode out of the emperor's tent and ordered troops, feeling a sense of lateness in his heart, If so, it should have been like this long ago!

Kan Ling, the left general of Du Fuwei, holds a heavy army. He is second only to Wang Xiong in terms of military power in the state of Wu. He personally trained 10 elite soldiers. All the men and horses were brought.

But rescuing soldiers is like fighting a fire. The infantry cannot play a role at this distance, so they have to rely on the cavalry.

After receiving the edict, Kan Ling returned to his tent and gave an order, and all the ten thousand horse teams assembled in the blink of an eye, and everyone shouted and neighed, ready to go.Kan Ling was fully clothed, holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife, flew on his horse, and led a team of ten thousand horses out of Haozhou City at lightning speed, galloping towards the bank of the Huaihe River.

On the way, I visited the horse and reported: "General, something is wrong. Our army was killed and defeated. Zhang Mai was seriously injured. The [-] navy retreated across the board and fled along the Huai River. We are late. Please make a decision!"

"Trash!" Kan Ling squeezed out these words from the corner of his mouth, urging his officers and men to say, "Brothers, this place is less than eighty miles away from the Huaihe River. The time for us to make meritorious deeds has come. We must arrive within half an hour, and take advantage of Yang Yong's instructions." The men and horses have just crossed the river and their foothold is not stable, kill them back, rush!"

After Kan Ling finished speaking, he rushed down at the head of the horse, and the ten thousand cavalrymen followed closely behind, stirring up dust all over the sky, covering the sky and the sun.

This time, within thirty miles, a fast horse chased them up from behind, "General, there is a decree from the Holy Spirit..."
