Chapter 233 Xiaosheng

After the first battle, Zhang Zhaoda did not forget it. On the second day, he mobilized more warships and troops, without any fancy styles of play, nor any so-called tactics. He just rushed around and filled it with his lives! In the past two days, rounds of attacks have set off on this defense line that is only a few miles long...

Above the river, the first line of defense of the Zhou army had just been rebuilt and was quickly pushed down. The Zhou army formed small formations, blocked the gap, raised shields, raised crossbows, and shot wildly at the Chen Guo warships imported from the river. Amid their shouts and roars, the Zhou army soldiers rushed forward in an orderly manner, so dense that they could hardly see the queue. Then they tried their best to pull the bow and pull the bowstrings. Another round of arrows was thrown out. It was not raining, and these bows and arrows were restored.

The Chen people were very cunning. Not only did they strengthen their shields on the edge of the ship, but they also set up fine nets made of mature cowhide. Each hole was only the size of a copper coin. The force of the bow and arrow shot was greatly reduced, and it was difficult to hurt the Chen army behind them. Every time the Zhou army began to react collectively, when the bow was fighting back, these Chen soldiers would hide behind, waiting for the Zhou army's arrow rain to pass, while winding the strings to prepare for the next attack...

Before the Zhou army could feel powerless, the cowhide net was pulled open. What came towards us were dozens of crossbows showing their power at the same time. The iron arrows shot horizontally and scattered, and dense bows and arrows followed closely. When the Zhou army was tired of responding, Chen army was in the water. Hundreds of Chen army raised their shields forward, waved their long swords to collided with the Zhou army. The scene was once very tragic...

Such scenes have been as high as eight times in two days. After one round of attacks was repelled by the Zhou army, the second and third rounds will follow one after another in the next half day. This kind of oil-added tactic can be said to be a taboo in military strategists in the past, but in this kind of battle situation, it is the only tactic that can break the situation. Chen State spared no effort, and Chen Jun rushed forward without fear of death. At the last moment, the forefront of the Zhou army finally declared collapse and squeezed backwards desperately. I don’t know how many people, how many soldiers pushed each other and trampled on each other. Archers scattered all over the ground. Some people fell from the wall of the village into the mud in panic. There were all the defeated troops running around. Chen Jun put the rope on wooden stakes and pulled it back hard. The tall wall of the village fell down in response. The surging crowd rushed towards the direction of the defeated soldiers...

At this point, the situation seemed to be irreversible. On the lookout tower, Lu Teng and his deputy Gao Lin were looking into the railing, trying hard to observe the battle situation ahead. Since Chen State launched the first round of attack this morning, Gao Lin's fists were clenched tightly. As expected, they had to hold on for several days. Under the crushing of the opponent with absolute strength, the Zhou army's front line finally collapsed. Chen army had no time to breathe at all. Almost at the same time when the Zhou army was shaken across the board, Chen army went ashore, and the elite Zhou army on the front line was defeated and fled.

Gao Lin clenched his fists and loosened them, and then he clenched them again, his palms were already full of sweat. He subconsciously looked back at the coach Lu Teng, and saw that the old man was still watching the battle on the side with ease, as if the one who was defeated in front of him was not his troops but Chen Jun.

Gao Lin bowed to Lu Teng and said arduously: "General, the first village has been broken. It seems that other villages are about to be lost soon. The general thought that the riverside can no longer be defended..."

Lu Teng glanced at him and said, "Zhang Zhaoda reacted very quickly and was cruel enough. If he was concerned about the casualties, he would probably have to wait for the spring next year to capture him." Gao Lin asked, "Then... do you still have to defend?" He didn't have such a plan. Zhang Zhaoda on the opposite side was like a madman when he raised his troops. He ignored his lives and used his lives to fill the obstacles ahead. In this way, how could Zhou Jun be the opponent of Chen Jun? Lu Teng, Gao Lin and others made this decision.

When he was in the battle plan, his original plan was to fight a protracted war of attrition with Zhang Zhaoda. When Chen's army crossed the river, it was already winter. In the evening, heavy snow came in the middle of winter. Zhang Zhaoda had to retreat even if he did not retreat. The army of 100,000 must not be at least about spring next year. If he is lucky, he can even delay for half a year. However, Zhang Zhaoda's playing style, such a way of directly crushing the past with direct strength, is really nothing to say or do anything.

There was no sign of disappointment in Lu Teng's failure on his face, and he calmly gave the order:

"Zhang Zhaoda is determined to spend the winter in Jiangling. I can't just make him cheap. Even if he is defeated, I will tear off a piece of meat from him! Order the four heavy armored camps stationed in Anbei, all three thousand warriors will be put on armor and go to battle! Kill Chen Jun to me!

At the same time, the order was sent down, and the main gate of the Central Army camp was not allowed to be opened. They defended the city tower and ordered each camp to send a deputy general to gather the defeated troops, stabilize the order, and fight back! Gao Lin..." Lu Teng's eyes swept towards him, and said calmly and firmly: "I'm asking you."

Gao Lin was shocked all over, and said nothing more. He bowed his hand, strode to the meteor, and turned away. Under the tower, there were drums that shook the heaven and earth. The armor roared, and countless soldiers wearing iron armor, holding heavy shields and sharp axes, or holding steel guns and spears rushed to the side doors of the camp. In the outer part of them, only a wall was separated by them, the Chen army was chasing the Zhou army. The second line of defense was almost effortless. The Chen army was as powerful as a rainbow, and the Zhou army seemed to be a pile of dust, which could be blown away in one breath.

This is the war. With a huge gap in strength, as long as you can win the first stage, the rest is not worth worrying, and you can win it in one go! Lu Teng looked at the one-sided situation below, and his sharp eyes were swept at the vivid faces where he could see his eyes. He was afraid, excited, bloodthirsty, anger, sadness... and so on. Thousands of faces and hundreds of emotions were revealed in front of him, and he was as cold as a statue. So many soldiers holding sharp blades were like ants in his eyes. All living beings were like tides, and he was standing in the tide that remained unmoved. "Zhang Zhaoda, do you think you will win?" A fierce light flashed in Lu Teng's eyes.

As the sound of war drums started again, Chen Jun finally realized something was wrong. The Chen army in the camp in front of him did not retreat, but instead acted as a desperate battle. The Zhou army generals and their personal soldiers gathered the defeated soldiers in a large wave of fleeing in a hurry. The defeated soldiers finally maintained order, slowly moved backward, and gradually formed a broken battle formation... The Zhou army densely covered in iron armor rushed out of the camp, collided with Chen Jun, and instantly turned over!

Zhang Zhaoda was only more than a hundred steps away from the river bank. The situation of the war that was turned on the shore instantly was naturally brought into his eyes. He sighed: "Lu Teng is Lu Teng. Last time, I brought 50,000 armor and 2,000 warships to siege Jiangling. Yuwen Zhi's reinforcements were defeated by me, surrounding Lu Teng into an isolated army. I thought victory was close at hand, but Lu Teng was not afraid, but opened the city gate and personally led thousands of heavy armor to fight our army. Our army was defeated. Our army planned to dig the Ningbangdi in Longchuan and divert water to the city. It was Lu Teng again, leading his soldiers to fight with our army at Xidi, and defeated our army again. Our army's plan failed. This time, I would never make such a mistake..."

Several deputy generals around him turned their heads and looked around. Countless soldiers wearing armored and spears climbed up the river bank from the warships. The brown-red surging on the shore, as if the prairie fire spread to the horizon... On the battlefield ahead, Chen Jun was blocked by Zhou Jun soldiers and was struggling to support him. Chen Jun soldiers followed one after another, and the two strands slapped together, and the two sides fought in chaos.

All the fierce generals and soldiers under Lu Teng and Zhang Zhaoda were out. Chen's powerful generals Cheng Wenji, Xiao Mohe and others led a team of powerful soldiers to rush into the formation. Xiao Mohe waved an iron spear, and the tiger was full of wind, and swept across thousands of troops. The iron spear swept through a Zhou general. The Zhou general's brain burst and flew out. The personal soldiers guarded the left and right, rushing to the side. After Xiao Mohe tore a hole open, he crawled in like a locust...

Cheng Wenji's long sword had been broken long ago. He lifted the chain hammer hanging on his waist and rushed around. The chain hammer gently brushed over. The human body flew out like straw and fell heavily to the ground. The skull and neck bones were broken, and he had long died so much that he could not die anymore. Then he saw a small piece of open space, with corpses hanging over his feet. Is this war? Even if he was cutting wheat, he was not as fierce and domineering as he was.

Gao Lin and other Zhou generals had to go into battle and rushed forward, but the disadvantages were already unstoppable. Lu Teng's move was originally expected to be able to fight Zhang Zhaoda off guard and forced Chen's army back to the river again. Who would have thought that Zhang Zhaoda had made sufficient preparations early, and also responded with thousands of soldiers to oppress Lu Teng again with the general trend. Lu Teng was defeated and the situation was very clear. On the tower, Lu Teng took a deep breath and ordered: "The remaining two battalions of troops in the central army will go out to entangle Chen's army and buy time for the army... The rest of the troops will retreat slowly!"

"It's so easy to take me away? Unfortunately, I'm going to retreat..." He turned around and left. This area was originally planned to be used to block the defense of Chen State, but it had been declared defeat. The overall retreat of the Zhou army was only in the past few days. Zhang Zhaoda quickly issued an order, "In three days, capture this barrier, and within two days, capture Yidu County. The army relies on the city to build camps. The front army has 30,000 troops stationed on the north bank, and the rest of the troops will return to Jingzhou!"

……………………

"The military rules of the barracks are stolen by themselves, and no matter how many, they will be killed! Invade the people, traitor children, bring women into the camp, and kill! They are ignorant of Yin and Yang witches, ghosts and gods, disasters, and kill! They are shocked for no reason, and they call and run around, kill! They even lose their time, commit the night of the night, and stay in the fire without any reason, kill them!..."

"The fourth post, go to Tujiatun to collect 400,000 stones of grain!..."

The iron armor rumbles, and the army horses neigh.

In November of the second year of Wuping in the Northern Qi Dynasty, there were frequent sounds of troops mobilizing in Hezhou, Rubei, Zhongchuan, Yangcheng, Zhengzhou, Guangzhou and other prefectures. Fenzhou, Luoyang, and even Jinzhou Road showed such strange signs. A large number of soldiers were drawn to Hedong. On the 24th, General Gao Changgong beat the drum and gathered the generals and sent troops south. Forty thousand troops passed through Funiu Mountain and directly attacked Zhejiang Yang!
