Governor please stay

Hurry up and hurry up, I thought I would see the siege scene in full swing, or see Xiao Yi break through Taicheng, anyway, there should be chaos inside and outside Jiankang City.

At that time, whether it is taking advantage of the chaos to stab a knife in the back, or fishing in troubled waters, it will be between two choices.

But now, except for the army on the other side of the bridge, there is not even a ghost in sight.The surrounding area of ​​Taicheng is scary!

Something was really wrong. Wei Zai looked at the flags on Taicheng in the distance, and then at the flags of Wang Lin's army. It was obvious that Taicheng was still in Xiao Gang's hands.

Did you fail to attack the city last night?What is the situation?This is a bad thing!

Wei Zai also murmured in his heart, is the Taicheng defender too fierce, or Xiao Yi too useless?Didn't get such a good opportunity last night?

"Your Highness, let's see the situation first. The more critical the moment, the less you can worry."

Wei Zai was also a little guilty, but the army had come to Jiankang, and he could still fight forward, but he couldn't turn back when he retreated.At this time, the two armies are facing each other on both sides of the Qingxi River, each forming a formation, and it is still unknown whether they will fight across the board.

To know that the Qingxi River is shallow, it is not necessary to take the Nanyin Bridge. Crossing the bridge is the fastest way, but it is not the only way.

In fact, if Xiao Lun is not afraid of trouble, he can also walk south along the Qingxi River, and there is no problem in finding any bridge to cross the river.There are seven bridges on the Qingxi River, collectively called "Seven Bridges", which are famous tourist attractions in Jiankang Outer City.

Wei Zai didn't want to do it now, at least not on Nanyinqiao's side.With an inadvertent move, he has now fallen into extreme passivity, and now he is just trying to calm down.

"Your Highness, we might as well line up on the Nanyin Bridge. At night, send some elite soldiers to the south for a mile or two, and there will be other bridges to cross the river. At that time, we will attack the army on the opposite side."

Wei Zai said to Xiao Lun calmly.

"So good."

Xiao Lun was also a little apprehensive, thinking the same as Wei Zai.

On the opposite side of the Nanyin Bridge, Wang Lin looked thoughtfully at the Zhaoling King's army on the opposite side, without saying a word.

To be honest, he was very upset when he was sent to do this kind of hard work.But there is no way. The children of the poor have long been in charge of the family. Wang Lin was born in a military family (military family). When I was a child, I was really poor.

Fortunately, there is an older sister who is quite beautiful, and Xiao Yi has chosen her as a concubine, otherwise, he would not even have the chance to make a fortune.

"Brother, Xiao Lun's men don't look weak, what should we do?"

Lieutenant General Lu Na asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yi's order was to let them block the opponent's way forward, but he didn't say to annihilate the opponent.With so many people in hand, it seems impossible to eliminate the other party.

Wang Lin was silent.Lu Na continued to suggest: "There are seven bridges on the Qingxi River. How about we send elite soldiers to detour and attack Xiao Lun's side at night?"

"The enemy army has come from afar, and their foothold is not stable. Send our military order, and the whole army will attack and forcefully cross Qingxi!"

Wang Lin issued an order that shocked Lu Na's jaw!

Chapter 407 Code Name: Operation Clearance (End)

When a general receives an order to block the enemy, it is the serious thing to do to try to keep the enemy out of the target area.Analogous to a football game, the main task of the defender is not to grab the ball, but to block the opponent's striker from breaking through the back line.

It is extremely risky to attack rashly.Only when Chen Qingzhi had nowhere to go during the Northern Expedition did he take risks and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch a strong attack, using the quick to attack the slow.

Chen Qingzhi used this method to fight Yuan Tianmu, who had an absolute advantage in military strength, unable to take care of himself.The question is what if you lose?

If you lose, the scene will be ugly.In history, there are many unlucky people who attacked rashly and lost. They have all become footnotes for the strong, or a joke.

"Brother, isn't it too risky for us to forcefully cross Qingxi like this?"

Lu Na asked in bewilderment, uh, he was more than just bewildered, he simply thought that Wang Lin would die in a war and was insane.

"Ask my brothers, do you still want the stolen money? If you don't want it, forget it. If you still want it, cross the river and attack immediately!

Seeing that the siege of the city is not going well, more and more people will be surrounded in the future.Hit one punch to avoid a hundred punches.

After hundreds of battles, how many brothers are left now? "

Wang Lin's soul asked, but Lu Na was speechless.His big brother, remembers the name of every soldier in the team, that's right, every one of them!On weekdays, Wang Lin covered the brothers, but at critical moments, the brothers would work hard for him. It was a very simple and pure relationship.

There is no military law like that of Wang Sengbian.It's a brother, I'm covering you, you are born and die for me, this is a brother!

"Understood." Lu Na nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

"Drumming!"

Lu Na yelled at the messenger.

dong dong dong dong dong dong dong!

The drums in Wang Lin's army were loud.The army was divided into three groups, one of them took off the Nanyin bridge, and the other two took off their armor, took a knife, and rushed towards Xiao Lun's army on the other side of Qingxi like desperadoes.

No defense, no armor, no spear, no shield.Just like this, he walked through the river just below his waist, rushing forward one after another.

Xiao Lun on the other side of the bridge was dumbfounded.

Although there is a bow and arrow cover, it is too reckless to fight like this, right?

"Your Highness, retreat to the back."

Seeing that Xiao Lun was standing too far in front, Wei Zai pulled him to the rear, and the two rode on their horses.

Now that the two armies don't know the strength of their opponents, it is a very reckless thing to attack rashly.However, there is also a lack of targeted responses now, so we can only wait and see.

Wei Zai was very helpless, feeling that he met such an "unruly" opponent in war.But soon, he knew why the other party made such a choice.

Wang Lin's army attacked from all three directions, with only a few crossbowmen covering behind, seemingly disorganized.However, the strong attack itself is an extremely powerful "scheme". In layman's terms, it is called "beating the master to death with random punches".

The brothers under Wang Lin's command are usually traitors and criminals. Not to mention too much, let's just say that this time they entered Jiankang, they did a lot of bad things.Such soldiers never thought about what would happen if they lost the battle.

If they lose their power, those sufferers in the past will definitely pounce on them and make them die.So these people all know that only their "big brother" Wang Lin can protect themselves.

In the eyes of these people, whether it is Xiao Yi or Wang Sengbian, they are all people who forget righteousness for profit.Only Wang Lin has a deep sense of loyalty and can share joys and sorrows with his brothers.

This battle seems to be fighting for Wang Lin and Xiao Yi, but in fact it is just fighting for himself.Because they will die if they lose, it will be sooner or later.

On the one hand, he was fighting regardless of life and death, and on the other hand, he had just rushed from Jingkou to Jiankang, his legs and feet were weak, and he still had armor on his body.As soon as they make contact, they will be judged.

Although Xiao Lun's army was well-equipped, they were defeated by Wang Lin's desperadoes.In the end, the three armies were about to encircle, and Wei Zai was so frightened that he hurriedly called for gold to withdraw his troops, and retreated towards the Beili Gate in the direction of Zhongshan, throwing away his helmet and armor and was extremely embarrassed.

Wang Lin did not follow the enemy into Zhongshan at dusk because of the lack of troops and the loss of some parts in the previous battle.He stationed his army at Zhu Yi's house near Nanyin Bridge, and sent out scouts to investigate the movements in the direction of Jingkou and Zhongshan.

The victory in this battle greatly encouraged Xiao Yi, who was somewhat depressed.So the king of Eastern Hunan thought that it wasn't that his troops were not elite or well-prepared, but that the time hadn't come yet.

……

The army of the King of Eastern Hunan rushed to attack Taicheng on a rainy night.

During the heavy rain, the earth mountain on the city wall of Taicheng collapsed.

The victory of the army of the King of Eastern Hunan is in sight.

When the rain stopped, Yang Kan used fierce fire oil to fight back.

The next day Xiao Yi's Wang Lin troops defeated Xiao Lun near Nanyin Bridge, and Xiao Lun fled to Zhongshan.

One piece of battlefield information was sent to Jiangning City in time, and the first-hand information sent by different scouts was compared repeatedly. Liu Yishou and many of his advisers felt that their brains were not enough.

God really knows how to play with people. First, he collapsed the earth mountain, and then stopped the rainstorm, as if each hit [-] big boards.

Xiao Lun led his troops to Jiankang to play for a while, and retreated before even reaching Taicheng.

The strength under Xiao Yi's command is still very strong, no wonder he is so ambitious!

Liu Yishou secretly speculated in his heart that there might still be an uphill battle waiting for him.

"My lord, it's time for us to send troops."

Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

"No, no, it's still necessary to slow down at this time. I think Xiao Yi will attack Taicheng again, and it's not too late to start again."

Chen Yuankang waved his hand, thinking that Liu Yishou is not suitable to take the lead now.

Now this game is a bit like "Drawing the Sword".The knife is the most deterrent when it is not drawn out. Once it is drawn out, the strength will be exhausted, and there is no threat.

"Changyou (named by Chen Yuankang) is right, there is no rush now."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.

"It's already this time, isn't it in a hurry?"

Wang Wei looked puzzled, Xiao Lun had already left the field, who else should he wait for, the troops of the Three Wus?

"I want to emphasize one point."

Liu Yishou sat up straight, and said solemnly: "The person who cares most about whether he can enter Jiankang is Xiao Huan, a member of the Xiao family, not me, Liu. This time when we enter Jiankang, we are supporting Xiao Huan to take the position, so , We should not be in a hurry, but being in a hurry is putting the cart before the horse.

Taking [-] steps back, this time, even if we return to Shouyang now, there is no problem that is difficult to deal with. It is nothing more than that the road ahead is a little more difficult.We would rather wait longer than rush to act. "

At this moment, a scout ran away in a hurry and shouted in a rough voice: "Captain, an army has appeared in the direction of Danyang County City. It is currently stationed in Wuyi Lane, confronting the army of the King of Eastern Hunan. As for which army is it?" People and horses can't see clearly in the dark."

Wuyi Lane used to be Sun Wu's barracks, and that place was actually a crucial place for war.Judging from the direction from which this army appeared, it should have come from Pogangdu.

"This is the soldiers and horses of the Three Wus!"

Liu Yishou, Wang Wei, and Chen Yuankang said together.

"Take a rest, someone has already gone to investigate again."

Liu Yishou waved his hands in embarrassment, and shunned the scout and the soldiers around him.

"My lord, it should be Xiao Ying's army, but I don't know which one. I heard that he has united with many powerful forces from the Three Wus."

Chen Yuankang said with some apprehension.

Xiao Lun's small number of soldiers is nothing to worry about, he couldn't beat Liu Zhongli before, and now he can't enter Taicheng, it's really normal.However, Sanwu has enough soldiers and food, and still has some strength.

"Xiao Ying's subordinate must be Chen Baxian. Now that he has not established a firm foothold in Jiankang, how can he entrust the task of standing in the front to people who don't trust him. What if those three Wu tyrants surrender to Xiao Yi in case of setbacks? ?”

Liu Yishou smiled slightly, and said very firmly: "If I were Xiao Ying, I could only send Chen Ba to lead the troops first, and the others would not be trusted."

This is the truth, no matter how many years, even in modern times, the Chinese still like to find acquaintances to do business.Trust in this kind of thing has accumulated and eroded over time, and Sanwu Haoqiang is not Xiao Ying's son, so it is obviously impossible to be entrusted with important tasks just after being summoned.

"The soldiers and horses of the Three Wus seem powerful, but they are actually vulnerable. As long as Chen Baxian is defeated, Xiao Ying will not have the capital to command the heroes. At that time, many troops will not be able to coordinate in a unified manner, and they will not even be able to coordinate their positions. How can they win the battle?"

Liu Yishou waved his hands indifferently.

Just as he was talking, another scout rushed over, cupped his hands at Liu Yishou and said, "Commander, Fan Meng's troops on the south bank of the Qinhuai River have withdrawn and headed towards Wuyi Lane."

"Okay, let's explore again, and report back at any time!"

Liu Yishou said calmly.

After the scout left, he sighed and said: "Look, Chen Baxian is still a little level. I guess Xiao Yi can't send a cat or a dog to calm him down."

Liu Yishou's guess was basically correct. If Xiao Yi won a big victory against Xiao Lun last time, then he was beaten into a pig's head this time.

……

Time went back to a few hours ago, and it was just getting dark.

Near the Zhuque Bridge in the south of Taicheng, Chen Baxian waved his hand, and dozens of "slingers" holding slingshots appeared behind him.He quickly threw the stones into the distance, "smashing" a gap in the army led by Wang Sengbian.

The crossbowmen immediately stepped forward to fill their positions, and another burst of shooting caused the Xiangdong King's army to retreat steadily.Immediately afterwards, the infantry without any weapons ran quickly with the fence on their shoulders, erected a fence in front of the crossbowmen, and the sword and shield soldiers filled their positions to defend against the counterattack of the Xiangdong King's army.

Sure enough, Wang Sengbian ordered his men to counterattack back. As soon as he came into contact with the sword and shield soldiers, Chen Baxian ordered the infantry soldiers to stab the enemy with long spears through the fence.

Soon the slingshots loaded the stones again, and another round of lob shots was made. The soldiers and horses on the Xiangdong King's side left a pile of corpses and retreated.

The multi-army joint operations, in this narrow street, cooperated tacitly, and Chen Baxian commanded with determination and high spirits.Although Wang Sengbian has many soldiers and horses under his command, they can't exert their original strength at all.

This place is too narrow, even if there are thousands of people, that is, the first hundred people are fighting.

After retreating all the way from Bird Clothes Lane to Zhuque Bridge, many people were injured by Chen Baxian's piecemeal attacks.The latter fought steadily, step by step, and killed the main force of the Xiangdong King's army all the way to the other side of the Zhuque Bridge, before stopping and deploying defenses by the bridge.

This place is very close to the camp of Xiao Yi's army. Knowing that the battle on the front line is unfavorable, Xiao Yi took a breath after he arrived on horseback.I saw the flames on the other side of the Zhuque Bridge, and the army was in good order.

"Whose soldiers and horses are these, so powerful?"

Xiao Yi exclaimed in a low voice.

"The soldiers and horses of the Three Wus, the leader of the army is called Chen Baxian, and the last general has a relationship."

Wang Sengbian said reluctantly.

In today's defeat, Chen Baxian was a bit of a bully.After all, the main force under the King of Xiangdong was able to fight a bloody night on the city wall of Taicheng last night, and lost a lot of elites.

"Your Highness, our army needs to be repaired. Why don't we replace Fan Meng's troops with the Zhuque Bridge to monitor Chen Baxian's movements. Fan Meng's troops have been in the process of repairing and have not participated in the battle."

Wang Sengbian suggested.

Xiao Yi thought for a while, nodded slightly, and asked a little unwillingly: "Can you recruit Chen Ba first? This king can make a price."

"Your Highness... this may be very difficult."

Wang Sengbian smiled wryly.
