Chapter 106: Persevere
To the east of the Qingshui River, in Jianpo camp, there was a scene of murder before the arrival of the war.
Jianpo Camp is an important material transfer site arranged by Cao Xiu along the Qingshui River. The camp is located on a high ground south of the east-west river. There are wooden stakes in the river, and there are floating bridges on the wooden stakes to connect to another small village on the other side of the river. Generally speaking, the camp can accommodate nearly 5,000 people and store a considerable amount of materials every day, but there are only more than 700 soldiers and horses who are stationed here on a daily basis.
The day before yesterday, the water flooded, and several ponds and dams around the surrounding area were all broken. There was a marina around the camp, and the floating bridge was washed away. From the top of the Slope, there were water everywhere. Occasionally, you can see roofs and trees that have not yet been washed away were soaked in the water.
Two days ago, He Song led his troops to attack and killed here, annihilated a Cao army under Cao Xiu in this camp, and almost achieved a large siege of the entire Lumen Mountain area.
While he was sieging and killing Cao's army in Jianpo camp, he led a light army to search and reconnaise the northern waters and was about to meet the vanguard of Cao's army going south. The two sides were disparate, and the light army of He Song's troops was about to collapse at once.
When they retreated, although the light soldiers used the whistle to war, He Song's troops were unable to stop for a while after fierce battles.
Even with the support of the navy soldiers, the march and combat in the flood is still extremely difficult. The soldiers' military uniforms and armor are wet and cold. They can't live when marching, and they eat wet dry food, which is impossible to swallow. Sometimes they are thirsty in their mouths, but they can't find drinking water, so they can only look at the water around them and scold them.
The soldiers persisted in this environment for several days. Although they continued to win, their physical strength and energy were also constantly consumed. Therefore, when attacking Jianpo, they were once counterattacked by Cao's army, and suffered considerable losses, resulting in nearly 200 casualties.
At the most nervous time, He Song even formed a reserve team of sailors in the fleet, intending to use them to attack Cao's army.
This move was not wrong when besieging Cao's army. However, when the Cao army was carrying the ground, the boatmen could not board the ship in time, and the soldiers were exhausted. After the war, many people lay down and rested, but could not get up. Even if He Song sent his entourage to practice military law, they could not force the soldiers to exceed the limit of their physical strength.
When he finally gathered all the troops and started boarding the ship, a large army of Cao's army appeared, and the two wings of boats came overwhelmed, realizing the encirclement of Jianpo camp.
Seeing this scene, He Song felt a suffocation in his chest, a sweet throat, and a warm liquid suddenly emerged from his mouth.
He knew that he was not young anymore. The injuries he suffered on the battlefield when he was young and the exhausted Yuanyuan were all reflected in his body. Although his body was like an iron tower on weekdays and he could not see his old age, he had been running around for several days and was extremely laborious. At this time, he suddenly changed rapidly, which was due to his negligence in command, so he was shocked and angry and vomited blood.
He did not want to cause the soldiers to shake it, so he held it in a hurry and swallowed the blood he vomited back.
Wang Zuo asked from the side: "General, what should we do?"
"Let the soldiers get off the boat." He Song said in a deep voice.
After a pause, he said again: "You go, pick twenty capable ones, and then two more clutches. Take them back and warn General Lei."
Wang Zuo nodded, turned around and left.
Facing an enemy of such a size, breaking through is equivalent to death. Instead of taking one's own death, it is better to stick to it. Perhaps most of the Cao army is eager to move south and may not be focused on a small number of enemies on a small high slope?
If Cao's army left behind not many attacking forces, or left behind small troops to monitor, He Song felt that he had the opportunity to persevere until the situation of the war changed.
He Song then dispatched troops to use the original camp buildings in Jianpo Camp to prepare to stick to it.
While busy, Wang Zuo came back from behind.
He Song looked at his marching Sima suspiciously.
Wang Zuo said relaxedly: "The transmission clutch has already set off. I, the marching Sima, have to accompany the general."
He Song laughed.
When he looked back, he found that his vision was shattered. The scale of Cao's army's troops was beyond imagination, and they had no intention of crossing Jianpo at all.
Just in He Song's sight, the Cao army's large troops were densely distributed to every corner of the southeast, southwest and northwest. The troops that launched the attack for the first time included hundreds of boats and rafts, and each boat was filled with murderous Cao army soldiers.
Cao's army waved their guns and spears, showing off their power, and then shouted from the boat through the boat, shouting and shouting endlessly. Some people were impatient to follow the raft and jumped directly into the water to trek, bringing a lot of mud and water everywhere. There were also experienced old men sitting on the raft, drawing out their swords and wiping slowly.
"They want to attack the small village in the north first." Wang Zuo said: "Half of the soldiers in the sixth song of the character Jia and the seventh song of the character Jia are still there. General, do you want them to withdraw? Or send another one to enrich the small village in the north?"
More than a dozen military academies followed He Song.
Everyone knew that this was life and death, and everyone looked serious, stood straight, focused their eyes on He Song's face, waiting for his order.
He Song pressed the hand of the waist knife and used force, then slowly let go.
"The enemy is numerous and we are few, what's the use of support? Let them defend themselves!"
There is still a little more sentence, He Song didn't say it.
There was a Qu Chang-sama who had acquainted with Huang Xiaoshi and stammered his lips, raising his courage, and said, "General! There are only four hundred people in the small village in the north. Can they repel Cao's attack?"
He Song looked at the long song and remained silent.
After a while, Wang Zuo reluctantly said: "They don't have time to withdraw, so there is nothing they can do about it."
Everyone was frightened, and they knew that He Song was determined to rely on the north small village to spend time, even a little time.
Immediately, the flag-speaking message was sent to the high place of Jianpo, asking Huang Xiaoshi to lead his troops to stand firm, and those who dare to retreat would be killed.
To the north of Lumen Mountain, the terrain is getting smoother and lower. Jianpo is said to be a slope, but in fact the terrain is not high, and the location of the small village to the north is even lower. Cao's boats can directly force the village wall.
Cao's army dispatched about 2,000 people, divided into two groups. One of them was the main attacker, more than one thousand people, and they directly scattered around the small village. Hundreds of people gathered in one place, intending to wait for the defenders to shake and follow up and break into the camp.
As they approached, arrows flew like rain inside and outside the village.
The rain of arrows fell, and the bloody rain followed.
Around the small village, hundreds of soldiers fought hard. Wherever their swords, spears and spears went, blood was splashed all over the sky. The blood flew to a high place and then fell down. Some of the people below fell down, some were continuing to move forward, some were afraid to retreat, and some roared and shouted to kill.
On the muddy wetland by the water, blood rain poured on, dyeing the ground red. The soldiers followed each other stepped wildly, continuing to fight, and stepped into the depths of the mud.
Qu Chang Huang Xiaoshi, trapped in the small village, was a young officer who had been praised by Lei Yuan. He evacuated from Lujiang with the Huainan Haoyou Alliance, and later joined the army and fought a strong battle west of Hanchang City.
When he was studying in the military academy, Guo Jing once said: Although Huang Xiaoshi is ordinary, he is very tenacious and determined to implement military orders without any discounts.
At this time, Huang Xiaoshi stood on a wooden platform in the small village, looking at the six directions, listening to all directions, and commanding the battle.
Sometimes arrows passed by him, and military newspapers from all sides continued to come from below: "A group of Cao's army has landed on the shore and attacked the north of the village. Although they often fell down because the ground was slippery, and it was not easy to attack, but we only had fifty people in the north, which was very difficult to deal with!"
"In the south, a group of Cao's army was on a boat and was shot by archers mobilized by General He by Jianpo, and a group of them died!"
"The Cao army in the west is very fierce. They used a raft to hit the fence of the small village. The fence has collapsed! Lao Gan is dead, and our army can't stand it!"
Huang Xiaoshi cursed.
Luo Ayanning next to him didn't hear clearly and asked, "What?"
"I said, the dog god is coming very hard!" Huang Xiaoshi said viciously: "Luo Ayanning!"
"exist!"
"Take your subordinates and go to the west to support! If Cao's army attacks, I will chop your head!"
