In the splashing water, Zhu Biao's figure flashed away. The long sword kissed his neck, blood spattered, broken limbs and miserable screams, all played out on this twelve-wheeled chariot and ship.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I surrender..."
During the inspection on the water surface of the Fu River, tears flowed down his face, and he was so frightened that he peed his lower body. Zhu Biao's sword edge missed him by just a hair, and it pierced his neck. At this time, out of the fifty sailors on board the car, only one was left.
Thirteen of them, including himself on patrol.
"Surrender, surrender, all sails dropped, sails dropped..."
Zhu Biao grabbed the inspector hanging on the mast and shouted at the top of his lungs. The Han and Tang cavalry ambushing on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cheered and cheered, they saw a 'miracle'.
Starting from Shanglin City, seventeen large and small warships of the Fujiang Inspection Department came to destroy the Tang Army's pontoon bridge. Ten of them were hacked into the bottom by Zhu Biao with his single sword. The Zhou Army Navy, with a strength of about 500, was beheaded and fell into the water.
of more than three hundred.
The water surface has never been Zhu Biao's 'defeat point'. When Zhu Biao was riding on the waves, he caught up with the fastest one among the remaining six warships at the same speed. With one sword, he killed the officers on the ship and more than a dozen people around him.
When the sailors turned into minced meat, the desperate officers on the five warships dropped the sails from the mast in a show of interest.
"Chacha..."
The bed crossbow is firing rockets at the seven warships leaning on the waterfront. The image must be more realistic. Since the fleet has been ambushed, the seven warships burning with fire will definitely win more than the original ones.
People trust.
There is no water gate in Shanglin City, but there is a water village outside the Shanglin City Pool to the west. The distance between the two sides is less than one mile. The crossbows on the city and the water village, the built-in thunderbolt chariots and other equipment are enough to cover the entire gap.
Without taking the water stronghold, it would be impossible for the army to attack the city from the west gate. And if you want to take the water stronghold, is there anything easier than pretending to be a defeated soldier and retreating into the water stronghold to attack?
Of the six officers of the inspection department, only two have willpower, and their courage is above the passing line. The leader of the inspection department has only 42 points of willpower left. His courage has even dropped to 37, which can be said to have shattered his moral integrity. Zhu Biao looked at him twice.
Under Ruo Bingshuang's glance, he was trembling with fear.
Two navy officers with a willpower and courage of 60+ were left on the shore by Zhu Biao. Three hundred fell into the camp, changed into Zhou navy navy uniforms and boarded the ship.
They were either busy on the deck, paddling hard, pedaling the wheels, or hiding in the cabin.
In the cabin of the twelve-wheeler ship, Zhu Biao was stroking the edge of the bone sword with his fingers. He seemed to be in a trance, but his brain was actually continuing to operate. Time was running out, and he had to capture Shanglin as soon as possible. When he was thirty years old
Previously, before the system review came, it was his stated goal to resolve the battle in Bozhou and push the Zhou army back to the south of Pingjiang!
I have never felt that time is so urgent, compared to when I first arrived, I was scrambling against time, and there was no more concessions.
"Open the door, open the door..."
The seven warships in a state of embarrassment returned to the water stronghold, and the patrol loudly called the door. There was no need to hesitate. Although the patrol was not the highest commander of the water stronghold, there was also a battalion of infantry stationed in the water stronghold. But no one could
Know the importance of the fleet to the water village.
The Inspection Department, which has less than 800 men under its command, has a status in the water village second only to the highest commander, Buying Xiaowei. Therefore, the defenders of the water village have no doubts.
When the water gate slowly came out of the water, Zhu Biao instantly jumped out of the cabin, broke through the bulkhead above his head, and rose into the air seven or eight feet high like an arrow. The iron rod he was holding in his hand was flying in the air.
A black light flashed across, and before anyone had time to react, it fell directly into the center of the round table-sized winch!
"Kill--" Seven ships docked at the pier, and three hundred soldiers from the trapped camp fought out. Zhu Biao also spun down on the winch like a flying crane. Under the white bone sword, the cold light filled the sky, his limbs were broken, and his blood was dripping.
.No one can block Zhu Biao's sword. The so-called masters Ding Li placed in the water village are just chickens and dogs.
If you dare to come forward, you will be selling out. If you don't come forward, you can still survive.
However, only three hundred trapped troops cannot take down the entire water village. It is not because of the infantry battalion in the water village, but because of the nearby Shanglin City.
This does not seem to be a difficult choice. The water village outside the west gate is the escape route left by Ding Li. When the city cannot hold on, he will lead his troops to retreat into the water village. At that time, he will cross the Fu River and retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, or retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.
Advancing eastward against the current and retreating to Luowei are both ways to survive. Therefore, the importance of the water stronghold to the Zhou army in Shanglin is self-evident.
But it was because of this that Ding Li seemed hesitant. He did not believe that Zhu Biao could not see the importance of the water stronghold. Zhu Biao would definitely see this. So, since Zhu Biao can see the importance of the water stronghold
, why not win it in one fell swoop, but now 'entangle' endlessly?
Is it fishing?
Ding Li hesitated. There was already one infantry battalion in Shuizhai. Should we add another infantry battalion? That would be 12,000 troops, half of the entire Shanglin garrison.
"Asking for help, asking for help..."
Lieutenant Zhou shouted loudly, waving the signal flag for help on the water stronghold. Yes, a battalion of infantry cannot kill the trap camp with only 300 people. Whoever surrenders to the trap camp itself has restrained infantry
What about the attributes of the military?
Furthermore, the current water village is not a formal battlefield. The Zhou army's infantry camp cannot "prepare for battle". After being attacked by a surprise attack, they can't even conduct unified command. And the soldiers in the trapped camp have practiced the mandarin duck formation.
When they started fighting, there were three hundred against six thousand.
The Zhou army complained endlessly and suffered heavy casualties while retreating steadily.
"Sir, helmet..."
Water Village, a barracks that has been captured by the trapped camp. More than twenty young and strong men are gathering together. They are wearing bloody Zhou army uniforms. They are dirty and pickled, which is so inconsistent with the temperament of the twenty or so people.
The first middle-aged man has a very handsome temperament, a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows, piercing eyes, delicate skin with a jade texture, and two small mustaches, which are dark and smooth.
But such a noble man, after putting on a soldier's iron helmet, stretched out his hand to grab a handful in the bloody soil, and without hesitation, slapped his face sideways. His back was slightly arched, and his shoulders were weak.
Next, the image of a defeated soldier comes to life.
"Is everything okay?"
"alright!"
"Then let's go..."
Like a drop of water blending into a river, more than twenty remnant soldiers bypassed the front where both sides were fighting Zhenglie, and unknowingly sneaked into the retreating Zhou army's infantry camp.
"Click, click, click..."
The suspension bridge was being lowered, the city gate was opening, and black heads appeared in the cracked gap of the city gate. Ding Li did not put down the water fortress after all, and sent 10,000 troops to rescue.
There were not 6,000 soldiers per battalion, but 10,000 soldiers. In this way, the number of Zhou troops in the water village reached 16,000. The number was much higher than that in Shanglin City.
On the other side of the Fu River, where the Zhou soldiers could not see, 20,000 heavy armored infantry, 500 in formation, and 3,000 Zhu Biao personal guard infantry were quietly hiding here. There were hundreds of rafts beside them.
, just waiting for the Zhou army to fight out of the city. The army immediately crossed the river and landed ashore.
The Fujiang River has a water surface of nearly 100 feet, but the current is not very fast. Otherwise it would not have the auspicious name Fujiang. In a quarter of an hour at most, the raft can reach the other side of the water village and carry out the first batch of more than half a battalion of heavy armor.
The infantry were sent to the shore. Then some of the rafts continued to return to transport the army across the river, while another batch started construction on both ends at the same time, striving to pull up three to five pontoon bridges on the river with raft chains within two-quarters of an hour.
More than half an hour later, to be precise, half of five-quarters of an hour, less than six-quarters of an hour later.
Tens of thousands of Zhou troops completely withdrew from the water stronghold, and they fought and retreated towards Shanglin City.
Chen An, Han Gang, Han Meng, Dou Bing, etc., led the heavy armored infantry. Leading the trapped camp, leading the heavy armor of the personal guards, like a group of roaring giant beasts, fiercely counterattacked, biting desperately.
The Zhou army retreated step by step. As soon as the infantry captain stationed in the water village inserted his spear into the chest of a Tang soldier, he was struck by Han Gang who rushed forward. The whole man flew up. Before he landed, he was counted
Stabbed with a spear, the body fell to the ground and was instantly annihilated by the advancing Tang soldiers.
The Zhou army's battle formation was crumbling, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Ding Li was furious and ordered the defenders at the top of the city to shoot wildly with crossbows. At this moment, the soldiers of both sides were mixed together on the battlefield, and the crossbows were fired intensively. They would definitely kill one of their own by mistake.
Army Sima hurriedly dissuaded him. But Ding Li had already made up his mind, grabbed Army Sima and threw him out. "Get out of my way... shoot, shoot, shoot for me..."
"Boom...boom..." Dozens of crossbows roared in succession. The harsh whistles instantly tore through the killing sounds of the battlefield.
Hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground. There were enemies and ourselves. The fresh lives turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye.
When the crossbow rang out, the Tang soldiers who were risking their lives in pursuit flew out of their minds. The soldiers at the front did not care about the enemy in front of them. They used all kinds of tricks and tried their best to avoid it. Han Gang was caught off guard and fell directly into the pile of corpses.
Inside, his face was stained with blood.
"boom--"
Zhu Biao jumped up in the air, swung the bone sword, and scattered three feather arrows. The speed was so fast that the three explosions seemed like one.
"kill--"
Shouting loudly. We cannot tolerate casualties at this time, we must stick to the Zhou army and kill until Ding Li opens the city gate, or tens of thousands of Zhou troops are completely destroyed in the city.
And no matter which one it is, the fate waiting for Shanglin City will be gloomy.
Ding Li had veins bulging on his forehead, and he wanted to roar to vent his frustration. This battle made him so angry.
But Ding Li couldn't. He was the guard general of Shanglin, and his every move affected the hearts of the soldiers and people in the city. If he lost his composure, the confidence of the soldiers and people in the city in guarding the city would immediately drop to freezing point.
But his heart is really about to explode. What should he do?
Should we open the city gate and take the risk to respond? Or should we close the city gate and watch the soldiers outside the city die in battle, losing the morale of the entire city?
One is seeking death, the other is waiting to die.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago." Ding Li regretted it. However, everything has become settled, who made him unable to withstand the temptation of "a way of survival" before.
Ding Li opened the city gate and relied on the crossbows at the top of the city to protect him. He expected to repel the Tang army. No matter how slim this hope was!
However, when more than twenty people wearing uniforms of the same color and style rose up from the crowd and killed Ding Li, who was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, the Battle of Shanglin came to an end.
"Mr. Long has really made great achievements in this battle!" Zhu Biao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a smile.
The surname Long is rare. Apart from Long Xiao and Long Yan's father and daughter from the Jiuqu Sword Sect, this is the third person he knows with the surname Long.
A master of the Tang Dynasty's martial arts hall and Shangguan Renqing's personal bodyguard.
"Zhu Shuai is joking. Shang Lin was able to defeat Shang Lin easily, all thanks to Zhu Shuai's strategizing." Long Qing also smiled. Then, the two said goodbye.
He was not a stranger, and there was no need or need to be too close. Zhu Biao believed that Long Qing was not only Shangguan Renqing's personal guard, but also Shangguan Renqing's 'guillotine' when necessary, in case Shangguan Renqing made any changes.
This arrangement made by King Tang made Zhu Biao couldn't help but think of the "guards" in the Soviet Union during Stalin's period on Earth in his previous life. They were exactly the same.
After taking Shanglin City, Luowu fell in one fell swoop. A hundred miles further east from this county town, there is Chengbo County. The Chidao connecting the two counties also extends from Luowu County to Shanglin.
Therefore, the westernmost defensive range of the fifteen cities built by Dang Shikui happened to cover the east of Luowu, strangling Chidao!
Zhu Biao no longer had the Chi Road, so he could still take the official road and use the river transport. After crossing Shanglin County and heading south, he could lead his troops and kill them without going far south.
However, official roads and river transport are nothing compared to Chidao + Fujiang + Qingxi. The land distance of the former is at least 300 miles longer than that of the latter, not to mention the road conditions.
One is a national highway, and the other is a county highway, which are not on the same level at all.
Water transportation is even more cumbersome. Exchanges between different rivers require at least three re-exports.
"Sir, Shangguan Renqing is still in Ansu and Chenggao. It will take at least a month to wait for them to enter Shanglin and transport all the military supplies. Most of our army is cavalry. It only takes two days to advance to the southern border of Chengbo.
Well, including the transportation of military supplies, it would only last ten days at most. But Zhou had many soldiers. If our troops advance only with cavalry, they may not be the opponent of Zhou's army.
This is really a difficult problem!”
Dou Bing has not been fighting with Zhu Biao for so many years in vain, but he can still see the current situation of the battle clearly. This is what happened.
Zhu Biao led only cavalry, and he could indeed easily penetrate into the Bonan territory. But would the hundreds of thousands of cavalry be the opponent of the 500,000 to 600,000 Zhou army?
Even in a winter, Dang Shichao is not free of charge. The supplies needed by the Zhou army on the front line may not last a year and a half, but they will definitely be available in three months. Dang Shichao is not afraid at all that Zhu Biao is now in Bozhou.
The southern border is causing trouble. Pingjiang is across the way, and Zhou Jun's navy is watching in Pingjiang. Even if Zhu Biao cuts off his direct connection with the Bozhou area south of Pingjiang, Dang Shikuang will not be afraid.
He can last three months. Or even longer. Can Chengbo County City still last three months?
And if Zhu Biao brings Shangguan Renqing's troops, a large number of Zhou troops will enter Shanglin and then transfer to the southern border of Chengbon. But what about the military supplies of hundreds of thousands of soldiers chewed by horses? If they are also transported to the southern border of Chengbon, a
There isn't much time in the month.
And in a month's time, no one can say how the situation will change.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Biao faced an almost paradoxical problem, and it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Do you really want to take a risk with hundreds of thousands of cavalry?
The moonlight shone on Zhu Biao, making his shadow grow long.
…
Grassland outside the Great Wall. Di people, Danhan Mountain.
Six crisp python whips resounded throughout the audience, and there was silence outside King Khan's tent.
The great shaman of Shamanism chanted: "Moyun Khan, with Turkic civil and military forces, respectfully welcomes the king's master -" The inner strength is profound, and the chanting sound is far-reaching and goes straight into people's hearts.
"I pay homage to the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty - Zhian!" Mo Yun, who replaced Mo Yuan Khan and became the new Khan of the Turks, that is, the Di tribe in the past, led all the civil and military officials in his tent to bow to the Tang Palace in Beijing.
Taichang Li Yong gave a courtesy.
"The Emperor is safe - Sheng'an!" The answer was Li Yong, who was the highest representative of the Tang Prince's trip to the grassland.
Although the king of Tang and Tianjing are currently fighting for good and bad things, in terms of etiquette, one still has to speak of the dignity of the emperor.
"I pay my respects to the King of Zhou Dynasty for the second time - salute!" Mo Yun Khan led all the civil and military officials to salute again.
"Wang Shi Wuyou - Yum!"
"I pay my respects to His Highness the King of Tang again - Zhicheng!" Mo Yun led all the civil and military officials to pay three respects.
"His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty is healthy—Na Cheng!"
After the worship service, the great shaman sang again: "The ministers of this country, Mo Yuan, are waiting for me to beg for sin from Master Wang——"
Moyuan Khan, who was already willing to die, together with his more than 20 important generals and ministers who had repeatedly conquered Chen Yan's land for more than ten or twenty years, walked on their knees in front of Li Yong and kowtowed to Li Yong's horse.
Li Yong said loudly: "The Great Zhou Dynasty stayed in Beijing and oversaw the military affairs of the northern frontier. His Royal Highness the Tang Dynasty, on behalf of the emperor, said: 'The three tribes including the rebellious minister Mo Yuan have conspired against us, wreaked havoc on living beings, confused the common people, and committed extremely evil crimes. They are rampant.
, The unforgivable beast! With Mo Yuan, Mo Gao, Yan Qu, Qiu Fuyou, etc., twenty-seven people immediately asked and beheaded. It represents the order of heaven and earth, the clarity of state affairs, and serves as a lesson for future generations! The emperor is kind and does not want to be ruined. Think about it.
He was sincere in his crime, spared the death of his clan members, lost his family property, and was sent to Jizhou to serve as a slave."
Thousands of guilty prisoners bowed down again. Regardless of whether they wanted to or not, and whether their hearts were bleeding with sorrow or not, they all praised Master Wang's benevolence.
A loser must have the consciousness of a loser.
Dozens of soldiers rushed over and dragged Mo Yuan and 27 other people who were kneeling in front of Li Yong's horse outside the tent. After a moment, they all were executed.
It was not until this moment that Li Yong got off his horse and walked up to Mo Yun Khan. He lifted him up and said warmly: "Kang, don't be afraid. If the king of Tang believes his words, the king will return south."

[The above paragraph is a copy I saw in "The Tang Dynasty". It felt very powerful and shocking at the time, so I used it here.]
"bite……"
Zhu Biao, who was thousands of miles away, was looking at the map in the military tent and thinking hard. Suddenly he heard a long-lost system prompt. He felt happy in his heart. The mission was finally here!
Putting aside the worries, I immediately sank into the system.
"Wow..." He stood up suddenly, his face full of surprise, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. The first S-level mission he received was actually completed, and both the Hu and Di clans disappeared.
A kind of excitement surged up from his heart, and Zhu Biao just wanted to look up to the sky and scream.
I can now have an S-level soldier talisman again, and the reward is 5,000 gold, which is 2,000 more than the S-level mission I completed previously. The 'Mane' that was already drying up has become rich again.
"It's great, it's great. God helps me, God helps me -"
Zhu Biao did not hesitate to use the S-level soldier talisman on the 'Long Soldier', and then learned the rewarded high-level formation chart - Ambush from Flying Daggers. Zhu Biao immediately ordered people to beat the tent-raising drum and raise the tent to gather generals! (Unfinished)
