Chapter 355: The Third Battalion Huaiyang Army Against

Liu Xiyao was so angry that he vomited blood. He thought that I was the most ruthless and suffered the most losses, but the result was this situation. Today, I must give justice. The other two families also have their own reasons. When you, King Zuo Jin, entered Zhengyang Town, all the things you stolen were divided with the Eight Great Kings. The brothers did not share the benefits at all. Why do you make money by making the profit? You can hug the Eight Great Kings' waists. Now you can't hold your waists, so you can bear it yourself.

There were quarrels every day, who left first, and there was a constant argument for a while. Several times, the three guards in the county yamen were tense and ready to go, but were persuaded by the big boss below.

Lao Huihui said that if he arrived in Yingzhou and captured Yingzhou, he would arrange a messenger to send a message to them, so that he could only move at this time. Otherwise, if Yingzhou had not been captured, the pass downstream of Yingshang could not be thrown away, and this was a way out.

While there was still arguing here today, I suddenly heard the footsteps outside the county government and remembered it suddenly. The three people in the lobby looked at each other, pressing their hands on the hilt of the knife, and their butts were all off the bench, just sitting there, thinking that this wasn’t someone taking the opportunity to do it!

However, as soon as the man outside entered the county government gate, he shouted at the top of his voice:

"The king... outside the city... there are officers and soldiers outside the city!!"

If the title of this king is placed in a town, it will make people laugh. Since the emergence of Water Margin and Journey to the West, this title is usually used as a thief or a fairy. However, the fifth camp of the Left feels that the names are loud and comfortable, so each of them arranges subordinates to call it this way.

When they heard that there were officers and soldiers outside the city, although the three men were still on the hilt of the knife, their faces changed. When the man came in, he looked at the look of panic and surprised expression, and they all knew that things were wrong.

The King of Troubled Times Wei Xiaobei shouted out directly and shouted loudly:

"Close the city gate. Close the city gate!"

Liu Xiyao next to him started to curse:

"You bastard, do you want to suffocate everyone to death in this Yingshang City? I won't be with you if you die."

He Yilong worked as a soldier in Henan for several years. His knowledge and calmness were slightly stronger than the other two people. He asked a few questions before and said coldly:

"As soon as the officers and soldiers arrived by the river, we organized people to fight him, otherwise there would be no waterway. We can't run away and will collapse halfway!"

Marching along the waterway is also a conventional rule in contemporary times. First, the drinking water of the army is often much higher than that of those thoroughfare cities. If you walk on the road, it will not be enough to drink the wells of the villages. Second, the transportation of ships can save a lot of effort. During this period, the fifth camp of Gezuo has washed the city and harvested a lot of fine and soft water. The baggage was heavy and the weather was so hot. If you don’t rely on the river, you may be afraid that the marching teams on the way would not be able to support themselves.

He Yilong said this. Several people were in the opposite direction. Wei Xiaobei had already rushed out of the county government and loudly greeted his leaders. The current situation is not the time for each other to get angry. The reason why the Five Gates of the Gates have existed in Huguang, Henan, and Nanzhili for so many years, and the unanimous external characteristics at critical moments is an important reason.

Several soldiers from Zuo Jinwang Camp at the battlement at the front of the city were carefully looking at the officers and ships beside Yingshui. Originally, the soldiers of the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo were also deployed outside the city, and there were also soldiers guarding the ships beside Yingshui, but when they saw the officers and soldiers, the first reaction was to run towards the city.

After the soldiers lying on the chassis were surprised at first, they were temporarily safe on the top of the city, but the group of people became confused. The Fifth Battalion of the G Zuo had fought so many battles, and the detectives were all arranged to make arrangements for the police. Why were they attacked by officers and soldiers in such a surprise attack?

The old Qian looked at the officers and soldiers who were getting off the ship by Yingshui, muttered and cursed in a low voice:

"Maybe it's the group in Zhengyang Town..."

Several people were still talking there, and an officer had already come up to the top of the city and cursed fiercely:

"What's the matter here? Let's go out of the city and line up to beat the official dogs!!"

The people on the top of the city were not afraid of fighting. They were just a life-long act. Old Qian and Scarface shouted, and a group of people followed the city with swords and guns.

"Liu Laosi, how did you arrange this damn horse probing? I slashed you with one knife!"

Liu Xiyao was wearing armor while cursing hatefully. The personal guards around him did not dare to contact each other. Soon the general named Liu Laosi ran in in a panic. He and Liu Xiyao were already related, so he said loudly without shyness as soon as he entered the door:

"Brother, one of the horses has come back. Yesterday, we were killed by the officers and soldiers and the big family Zhuang Ding. Today, this one just ran back on a horse and had an arrow shot on his arm."

Hearing this, Liu Xiyao, the king of Zuo Jin, calmed down, pushed away the personal soldiers around him, tied the ropes on his chest, and walked outside with big strides.

It takes two and a half days to march from Zhengyang Town to Yingshang, because they have to marches during the day and rest at night, and they have to walk for about three days.

However, after Li Meng's order was issued, Chen Liu first asked the cavalry and salt merchants to cooperate in the local Shangdi Zhuangyuan Township Warehouse to kill the ground horses sent by the Fifth Camp of Gezuo to kill as much as possible, forming a short-term battlefield cover.

The Huai Yang Army walked intermittently for nine hours on the first day. Such a long-distance and long-term marching, that is, under the training system of Jiaozhou Camp, can we have enough discipline and physical fitness to ensure that we can do this. Every soldier has cloth shoes to match. Every time he set up a camp, someone will burn hot water to burn every officer and soldier's feet. The officers also have to check one by one to see if there are any bubbles on his feet. Each soldier only carries three days of dry food and individual soldiers' weapons, and the rest of the supplies and materials are transported by water.

During this march, Chen Liu, the general of the Huai Yang Army, led his horse in front, and the same was true for officers at all levels. According to their subordinates, they could also ride horses, but in this case of forced marching, the officers were going to walk in front and lead everyone forward. The soldiers saw that the officers were also moving forward on foot, and they had no complaints in their hearts. They would have a stronger sense of belonging to this team and their enthusiasm would be stronger.

The officers and soldiers of Zhengyang Town shrank for a long time, and Shouzhou was even more indifferent. The sentry and horse probing in the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo camp had already become lazy and blind, especially the local gentry were honest and harmonious, which made them skeptical.

Suddenly, this was launched. The provocateurs and the horses of the Fifth Battalion of the Glezuo were caught off guard. The gentry and wealthy families who were still smiling just now suddenly hit the killer, and no one could react.

The outside ears and ears were cut off, and Chen Liu was in a hurry. The fifth camp of Ge Zuo was caught off guard in Yingshang City. He hit the door and reacted.

Chen Liu's march was one day earlier than normal. The night before he arrived in Yingshang City, he was resting in a large manor of a salt merchant in Yangzhou. He was full of energy and so concealed. If the sentry of the Fifth Camp of Gezuo was only on the periphery of the manor, he would probably not be able to see such a large army in the manor, unless he saw ships on the river.

Chen Liu appeared in the city of Yingshang as if a divine weapon had descended from the sky. He had already fully cultivated his spirits and had no sense of fatigue from a long journey. His grandson said, "Fifty miles to compete for profit, you will fall into the general." This proverb has actually been broken for a well-trained and well-structured army.

Chen Liu looked at the refugee soldiers running towards the city in a panic, pulled the corners of his mouth, and smiled very disdainfully. He waved and pointed at the horse whip, and said:

"These cowards can even be lingering in Nanzhili, Huguang for so many years. What are the soldiers and horses in Nanzhili doing for food?"

He has read more books over the years and has also gained a sense of being a handsome commander in Wei Rui. However, after he came here, the officers did not have time to chat with his landlords, so Chen Liu just pointed at him and finished it. There were no tactful generals who came up to flatter him for a few words like the general's wiseness.

The big guys ordered their troops to step forward in an orderly manner. The army was mobilized in an orderly manner from Yingshang City to Yingshui, and even the spear formation and musket soldiers were not allowed to be fully deployed in a camp. However, the Huai Yang Army had already arranged this time.

The King of the Left Jin, Liu Xiyao and King of Troubled Wei Xiaobei, each led a team out of the city gate. Ge Li's eyes, He Yilong arranged city defenses everywhere in the city. In this area with dense water networks, the army could only rely on a river like Yingshui. If they ran out from several gates in other places, the bridge was narrow and the troops were scrambling to cross the river, they might be afraid that the troops would soon disperse and chop each other.

The two generals of the Fifth Battalion of the Left, looking at the officers and soldiers opposite him, Liu Xiyao slammed the ground with the sword in his hand and cursed swear words.

Although the personal guards beside him were strange, they were all looking at the battlefield ahead, and anyone who had participated in the battle in Zhengyang Town was extremely angry.

Seeing the officers and soldiers by the river joining the earth wooden shields and slowly pushing forward, this was clearly the method used by the Zuo Jin King camp in Zhengyang Town.

If you look closer, the people in front of the officers and soldiers were holding bamboo platoons, which simply cut them side by side with more than a dozen bamboos, and then nailed them up and down, which was extremely crude.

Such bamboo trays may be able to keep bows and arrows low, but there are many firearms in the fifth camp of Ge Zuo. What can this thing block? It looks like a row of bamboo fences moving forward. At a high level, it looks quite powerful. But when you look closely, you find it ridiculous. If you don’t draw a tiger, you will become a dog. What’s the use of this thing?

The first row of soldiers holding the big bamboo platoon slowly walked forward, and behind them were followed by the spearmen. Looking at it, it seemed that the spearmen and the bamboo platoon were also very far apart. They were really inexplicably deploying the formation. I wonder if the generals on the opposite side were ruined.

In front of Yingshang City, the place where it can be expanded is so big. Seeing the opposite side coming up, the horse team of the Fifth Battalion of the Lezuo Battalion is not easy to expand, so the best way is to use gunfire.

There was no hesitation for this. Liu Xiyao and Wei Xiaobei were both hurriedly sending orders in their respective teams, and calling out artillery to prepare for bombardment. If the official army fought for such an inexplicable attack, they could not even pass the moat. These cities in the south of Fengyang Prefecture were surrounded by deep and wide moats, and they introduced live water, which was difficult to be filled.

The riverside was five hundred steps away from the city gate, and when the bamboo platoon line advanced to more than two hundred steps, I heard the gong beating by the riverside, which was probably an order to stop moving forward.

At this time, the artillery of the Fifth Battalion of the Lezuo was just being pushed out, and the soldiers were squeezing iron nails on the ground, digging a hole to fix the cannons. They watched the officers and soldiers in the front scrambled all the bamboo trays in their hands on the ground. Now that they were close, they looked carefully. The lower end of the bamboo tray might be sharpened, but it was not troublesome to pierce into the ground.

A bamboo wall with chest height appeared quickly in front of the Fifth Camp of Gezuo. The Fifth Camp of Gezuo was confused and thought what the meaning of doing this was. This bamboo wall was too weak and could not stop anything. Instead, it blocked its own way forward. I wonder what they were going to do.

The artillery of the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo Battalion is the kind commonly used in the world. The wheels of the cannon seats are relatively small and they are pushed slowly. They have to dig a hole and bury nails to fix them before they can fire. The cannons are pushed out here, and the bamboo wall made of bamboo lines suddenly opened several holes, and several small cannons were pushed out.

For the Fifth Battalion of the Gezuo, they did not have the ability to cast guns, and they used captured guns, but these guns could be quickly taken out of the city in an emergency and could move quickly, although they were relatively fast. They could only be about one pound of small cannons.

But Huai Yang's army used artillery cast by the Shandong Weapon Manufacturing Bureau. Three-pound artillery cannons can be pushed by six people or individuals, and the speed of travel will not lag behind the infantry array.

Moreover, the soldiers who train daily must load ammunition at a speed far exceeds that of the other party...
