Shen Yi stood on the edge of the Huaihe River. After Su Ding ordered the formation, he raised his telescope and looked across the river.
It was afternoon now, and the field of view was very good. Through the telescope, one could vaguely see some conditions on the other side of the river. After Shen Yi watched carefully for a while, he said to Su Ding: "Xue Wei's ship is also coming south. Don't panic too much, just meet the enemy."
Su Ding also took a look at the other side of the river. When he saw that Xue Wei's flagship had weighed anchor and headed south, the Eastern Front general also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, when a Northern Qi ship appeared on the river just now, his and Shen Yi's first reaction was that something had happened to Xue Wei and others.
Now that nothing happened to Xue Wei, it is not difficult to understand.
Su Ding observed the situation on the river, then looked at Shen Yi and said: "Mr. Shen, it seems that after the enemy found that they could not catch up with General Xue and the others, they gave up on encircling General Xue, and instead wanted to be one step ahead of General Xue. Crossing south.”
Speaking of this, Su Ding said with some fear: "It seems that the Qi people have indeed laid an ambush just north of the Xiangshui camp. Fortunately, Duke Shen is cautious, otherwise..."
Shen Yi's eyes were still looking at the river, and he spoke slowly: "General Su, now Qi people are going south..."
"It's time to fight head-on with swords and guns. There is no strategy or good strategy at this moment!"
"The time has come to test the results of our brothers' training."
Mr. Shen's face was solemn and his voice was hoarse: "We must not let Qi people land on the south bank so easily!"
Su Ding nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, the generals and others are already mentally prepared."
He cupped his fists and said, "General, go down and make arrangements now!"
Shen Yi nodded and said in a deep voice: "Xue Wei and his fleet should be able to start crossing south in another half hour. During this half hour, our side is equivalent to having no navy, and we cannot be stopped by these people. Keep your footing!"
After Su Ding clasped his fists, he turned around and left to take command on the battlefield.
Shen Yi, on the other hand, turned back to look at his follower Zhu Zhen and said slowly: "Zhu Zhen, go get my armor."
Zhu Zhen looked hesitant and was about to speak when he heard Shen Yi shout: "Didn't you hear that?"
Zhu Zhen was so frightened by Shen Yi's words that he trembled and quickly turned around and ran away to get Shen Yi's armor.
After the armor was delivered to him, Shen Yi started to wear it without saying a word.
In fact, in terms of military talent, Shen Yi is not very high. Even the navy generals left behind by Zhao Chong found it difficult for him to study.
Precisely because of his insufficient ability to command on the battlefield, he did not directly participate in the command of basically all wars, especially wars involving tens of thousands of people. Shen Yi always only made decisions at the strategic level and delegated the tactical level to others. Give
For example, in a battle of this scale, it would be very difficult for him to command everything, but it would be easier for Su Ding to sit up.
But Shen Yi can't fish either.
Every time there was a tough battle, he would wear armor and go to the battlefield in person, not because he, Shen, was brave enough to kill an enemy general in the midst of an army, but because of his transcendent status in the Huai'an army. , as long as he appears in the formation, morale will be high.
When Shen Yi put on his armor and stood on the edge of the Huaihe River.
Some ships with crews have already docked.
However, these ships were not particularly large. Relatively speaking, dozens of people jumped off the larger ships. Sometimes they were shot dead by crossbowmen from the Xiangshui camp before they could even get ashore. inside.
Soon, the Huai River on the south bank turned light red.
Shen Yi personally came to the battle formation, drew his long sword, and under the cover of the internal guards, he took a step forward and killed a Qi man who was walking towards him with one sword. Blood immediately splashed all over him.
Looking up, more ships were docking one after another.
More Qi people jumped onto Dachen's land.
You can tell at a glance that these people are well-trained. After jumping ashore, even if there are only a dozen people, they can form a formation and support each other.
Some stood at the front, raising their shields to resist the arrows of the Huai'an army's crossbowmen.
Because these Northern Qi ships were docked at different locations, the Huai'an army's defense line was unlikely to be able to defend them all. Therefore, it didn't take long before more than a thousand Qi people appeared on the south bank of the Huaihe River!
After these Qi people crossed the river, they immediately formed a formation. The formation was tight and well-trained. Under the cover of shields, the lethality of the crossbows was sharply reduced for a while.
Su Ding was taking command at the battle. When he saw this, he waved his hand and shouted: "Send the order to the artillery battalion, turn the muzzle of the guns, no longer bombard the boats on the river, let me bombard their battle formation!"
"Scatter them away, scatter them!"
Five or six artillery pieces began to change direction at the same time and blasted towards the Northern Qi battle formation.
Gunpowder and artillery are nothing new in this era. Gunpowder and artillery have been used by the military for a hundred or two hundred years. These Northern Qi troops are also good at using gunpowder and artillery. After hearing the sound of the cannon, they almost immediately Spread out, and then quickly lay down on the ground to avoid the damage of the artillery.
Su Ding fired two volleys of artillery, only killing thirty or forty Northern Qi men. He was a little angry and shouted: "While the Qi people are dispersed, Ma Qianhu, take your Qianhu camp to attack them and kill them." Break it up for me!"
Ma Qianhu is one of the thousands of households in the Xiangshui camp, but he joined the army in the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War. At this time, he was not particularly senior in the Huai'an army. Because of this, he and the Su Ding, the general who became a monk halfway, was actually closer to him.
After hearing the general's order, Ma Qianhu did not hesitate, cupped his fists and said: "I obey my orders!"
He looked back, waved his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, charge forward with me!"
At this time, the Huai'an Army was already among the strongest armies. It could basically execute orders and prohibitions, and few of them were afraid of death in a real fight.
There are many reasons for not being afraid of death, but the most important reason is that they have no worries.
Over the years, everyone has seen what Shen Yi has done. The compensation for the death of his fellow soldiers in the army will not be less than a penny, and it will be paid out by the Huai'an Army's own people without going through the local government. .
Just because of this incident, many local government offices were very resentful towards Shen Yi, feeling that this young Master Shen had taken food out of their mouths.
In addition to the pension, if you are injured on the battlefield, the Huai'an Army will always treat you. If you are disabled, you will receive a compensation that is less than the pension, and Mr. Shen will try his best to arrange a job.
Some of the Huai'an army brothers who were injured and disabled last year have started working in teahouses or cloth shops or loom workshops this year.
Without worries, there will be fewer people afraid of death.
Because people in this era are already living a very hard life.
Some soldiers who come from poor families even feel in their hearts that they are not as good as twenty taels of silver. It is already very worthwhile to get more than twenty taels of silver.
With this mentality, coupled with the continuous training of the Huai'an Army, the combat effectiveness of the current Huai'an Army is no longer the same as that of the anti-Japanese army that chased Japanese pirates at sea.
Ma Qianhu gave an order, and all the soldiers of the Qianhu Camp he led followed him without hesitation. They raised their swords and charged towards the Qi people who had landed.
Su Ding looked at the Qi people's ship on the other side that had just landed, and shouted again: "Zhou Qianhu, lead your people to guard the west to prevent the Qi people from landing!"
Zhou Qianhu clasped his fists respectfully: "I will obey your orders!"
Another thousand-household camp was assigned.
Along the Huaihe River, the sound of killing shook the sky.
At this moment, all conspiracies, tricks, and strange strategies are of no use. It is really time to fight for strength.
Shen Yi stood guard by the Huaihe River and killed another Qi man with one sword. Then he leaned on his long sword and looked around.
The boats on the river were already densely packed.
Xue Wei and others have also reached the water of the Huaihe River and are struggling to return south.
Shen Yi took several breaths, turned around and shouted: "Zhu Zhen, go tell Su Ding not to be stingy with gunpowder!"
"Destroy all the invading enemies!"
Zhu Zhen is very respectful.
"yes!"
………………
Hongze Lake, Huaihe Navy Camp.
This camp was once attacked by the Qi people. If Shen Yi had not come to rescue him, the camp would have fallen.
This is also the closest camp of the Huaihe Navy to Huai'an Prefecture.
In the commander's tent of Hongze Lake Camp, General Zhao Lu was sitting upright. In front of him was Major General Zhao Zhuo of the Huaihe Navy. Zhao Zhuo stood in front of his father and bowed his head respectfully: "Dad, now Huai'an Mansion is from Lian
As far as Xiangshui, the entire Huaihe River has become one."
"Qiren came very fiercely this time."
Zhao Zhuo paused and said, "Shen Qi, I probably can't hold on anymore."
General Zhao didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "Most likely? How many times have you heard this sentence, father? It's useless to rely on guessing. Shen Qi should have died at the hands of Qi people last year."
"Send someone to keep an eye on the battle situation in Huai'an Prefecture and report it from time to time."
Zhao Zhuo said yes, then glanced at his father and asked, "Dad, are you really ready to go north to attack Qi?"
"That depends on how long Shen Qi can hold on."
General Zhao stood up and exhaled a breath of white air because of the cold weather: "If he can hold on for two days, we will attack them all if we don't attack them all."
He walked up to Zhao Zhuo and patted him on the shoulder.
"If you don't attack them all, you will have no way to survive."
I wish all students good luck in the college entrance examination and get into the university of your choice!
