Chapter 649 Sweeping Jiangdong

"Put down the suspension bridge and open the city gate!"

In less than a moment, the hanging suspension bridge fell down and the heavy city gate slowly opened. Chen Dang's general led five hundred cavalry into the city slowly. After passing through the gate corridor, a big man with personal soldiers next to the lieutenant nodded to the lieutenant, smiling on his face (the lieutenant smile appeared on the lieutenant's face, and he was very nervous.

"Don't worry, since you have brought this general into this quarry city, the general will naturally keep his promise and will not make things difficult for you." After saying that, the big man suddenly stepped off the war horse, waved his spear with his right hand, and shouted: "Kill into the city, act as planned, seize the city gate, and capture the military camp! Kill!"

The guards at the city gate who had just opened the city gate had not yet understood what was going on. Several spears had already stabbed in them. After being shot several times, each of them was directly shouted and fell down.

Five hundred cavalry had already started, and their rumbling iron hooves rushed into the city from the entrance of the city gate.

Several whistle arrows shot high and sky, and the crisp sounds came from a long time.

The change at the gate of the city made Chen Fasheng, who was coming to the city gate, suddenly burst into tears, his face changed, his two sword eyebrows were raised high, and he shouted: "The enemy attacked, the city gate is closed, it is not his own person who entered the city!"

Hu Hai rushed forward and laughed, "You are right. I am Hu Hai, the governor of Jiangxi of Great Chen. Don't tell the wrong person when you get to the underworld."

After saying that, a spear had already stabbed Chen Fasheng, and Chen Fasheng looked unbelievable. Hu Hai was carrying his men toward Jiankang, had he mobilized 40,000 troops to be blocked in Siping Mountain? How could he suddenly appear here? Who are those in Yuhang under the banner of Hu Hai?

Chen Fasheng fought a lifelong battle. When he was a teenager, he followed Chen Baxian to fight with his father Chen Ke. Later, he experienced several emperors in the Southern Chen Dynasty and made many northern expeditions. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, he once led his tribe members to fight against the Sui Dynasty. Then his brother Chen Faxing raised his troops to fight against the Sui Dynasty again until now. Basically, he spent half of his time in the war. But now, he felt that he was old and had a boat capsized in the gutter.

When Chen Fasheng rolled sideways, he made a fierce assassination. As soon as he drew his sword, he had just stopped him by several knights and stabbed him to the ground. Several knights were preparing to shoot him and defeat him. The Wu army captain who was forced to lead everyone to trick him into the city just now shouted: "Wait a minute, he is Chen Faxing's brother, and Chen Fasheng, the prince of Jian'an County, is the left-behind minister this time."

Hu Hai was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect to catch such an important guy as soon as he arrived. He shouted, "Bind him!"

Several cavalry dismounted and tied up Shen Fasheng. The Wu army reacted and rushed here to take back the main general. However, at this time, there were shouts of killing sounds in the night outside the city, and the two thousand infantrymen were already taking steady steps and stalked into the city with horizontal swords.

After Chen Fasheng drew 20,000 people from Caishi's three cities and one village but dealt with the Chen army who had killed from Yuhang, there were only 10,000 people left in Caishi's four cities. Caishi City is the main city, and Dangtu and other cities are the acropolis. At this time, Caishi only had 5,000 troops. Although these 5,000 were all elites, for Chen army, who had already been seized from the city gate, there were 2,500 people.

Although Dangtu Sancheng still had 5,000 troops, they were careful to sneak up to Caishi City while they were on the way, and the people in Dangtu Sancheng were probably still sleeping.

"Chen Fasheng has been captured, why don't you surrender quickly!"

Hu Hai shouted, which shocked the soldiers on duty who had gathered together quickly. Hu Hai chose a good attack time. It was almost four o'clock in the morning when the soldiers slept the most. Moreover, because he had falsely opened the city gate, except for the more than a thousand soldiers on duty, the other soldiers were sleeping. The civilian and healthy women who were temporarily recruited had already returned to their families.

At this time, the city gate opened and the chief general fell into the hands of the enemy again. More defenders were still sleeping in the barracks, and Caishi defenders were completely at a disadvantage.

Two thousand five Chen army elites against five thousand Wu army elites, one against two, or siege the city. (If it was a conventional war, it would undoubtedly be impossible to win, not to mention that there are still five thousand troops from three acropolis around.

However, the Chen army has always been good at fighting such impossible battles. The 2,500 Chen army rushed into the city without any confusion. According to the combat plan formulated and issued before the war, the officers of each battalion and team rushed into the city and immediately rushed to their mission goals as planned with their subordinates as soon as they entered the city.

Seize the city gates, occupy streets, encircle military camps, capture warehouses, and clear out resistance.

Chen Jun's actions were completely organized and divided into orderly. There was no random killing, no robbery of property, nor did he rape women. He took the battalion as a unit and seized each important goal, and used the team and the ranks as small units to divide them into small groups.

Under the leadership of those team leaders and deputy team leaders, the lowest-level officers like those who have received non-commissioned officers, Chen Jun instantly divided into small wolves like a huge pack. When facing the Wu army, they all use three or five people as tactical group units, and their attacks are sharp and they are invincible. Even if there are occasionally some brave soldiers in the Wu army, they will generally retreat quickly under the attack of a wolf group like Chen Jun.

After snatching the city gate, Hu Hai closed the city gate, strictly prohibiting everyone from leaving the city, and requiring all the people to stay at home and not go out. Then, Xu Shiji, who led the infantry to the city, knew that he had actually captured Chen Fasheng who was staying in Jiangdong, immediately took Chen Fasheng's seal talisman, and selected several surrendered officers from the prisoners, asking them to lead the way to the Three Acropolis to reuse the old tricks.

Although the Three Acropolis is a quarry-caied acropolis, it is still a long distance away. The three cities in the war in Caishi City cannot immediately know that Shiji personally led a thousand men to the Three Acropolis, and things will go smoothly as expected. With Chen Fasheng's military talisman seal and military orders, and the surrendered Chen Fasheng's subordinates, plus the Wu army armor on their bodies, the guards of the Three City had no doubts after hearing Chen Fasheng's call to lead their troops to quarry. They all handed over the city defense as soon as possible and led their subordinates to quarry.

Five thousand old and weak soldiers in two cities and one village were handed over to the city defense by Xu Shiji and a military order. Then they rushed to Caishi, and finally stepped into Caishi City and surrounded by Chen's archers. Finally, they surrendered very simply.

Without spending one soldier, three acropolis, five thousand soldiers and horses, it was solved by Xu Shiji.

When the sky was lightly dawn, Caishi and three acropolis, one of the two major cities on the Yangtze River defense line in Jiangdong, fell completely into the hands of Chen Jun. Even the Wu army in Jiankang City did not discover the slightest.

Chen Fasheng's sons waited for a whole day in Siping Mountain with the 40,000 Wu army he had pieced together. But in the end, they did not wait for the arrival of Chen's army. The Wu army sent scouts everywhere to explore the horses, and in the end they did not find any trace of Chen's army☆ Later, Chen Fasheng's eldest son Chen Zhong led 40,000 people to move south carefully, but found that the captured cities along the way had no shadow of Chen's army. When they asked the people in the city, they had never seen the Chen army, but only saw a Chen army vanguard who had only seen a four or five hundred people.

Chen Zhong was worried by the sudden disappearance of Chen Jun, so he had to slowly move south, recovering empty cities, while searching for traces of Chen Jun's 20,000 to 30,000 troops.

The next night, Chen Zhong had recovered dozens of towns in Wu County and Yuhang County, but he still could not find the shadow of Chen Jun.

On that night, Hu Hai, who had been quarrying for a day, finally waited for the first batch of reinforcements to cross the Yangtze River in anxiety. A piece of 30,000 people composed of rural soldiers and militias from Jiangxi and Anhui provinces, together with a small number of Liyang defenders, and some navy and marine troops.

"After finally arrived. Brothers are all here, are you?"

Under the dark night, Hu Hao was on the dock by Caishi River, excitedly looking at the two generals Li Chengyi and Li Chengli who had just jumped from the navy's ship. A few days ago, he sent someone to cross the river to contact Chen Shan and Chen Feng. He proposed this whimsical plan, and the energy consumption was supported by them and sent troops to reinforce him. However, Chen Shan was indeed unwilling to take risks against the emperor's wishes☆ After that, Hu Hai promised to take the crossing point of Caishi City, which was the river crossing point of Chen Shan. Chen Shan said that if he could really take Caishi, he would consider sending troops to reinforce him.

Hu Hengzu was anxious for a day during the day. Things reached this point. If Chen Shan refused to send troops to reinforce him, then all the actions he had in front would be useless. Chen Shan did not let him wait in vain. After only one day, 30,000 soldiers had already crossed the Yangtze River to the Caishi River in the dark.

Li Chengyi and Li Chengli bowed to Hu Hai and Xu Shiji, "The general first defeated Jiujiang with three thousand people, and then defeated Xuancheng. Now he has captured the important quarry town. This Su Wu really makes our younger generation admire him. All 30,000 soldiers have crossed the river. Next, I will listen to the general's command to wait."

Hu Hai was also very excited to see these two brothers. The three Li Chengyi brothers are the legitimate grandsons of Marshal Li Benlei. The three of them are known as the three heroes of the Li family. They are the four heroes of the Xue family, the five tigers of the Zhang family, and the three heroes of the Luo family are the most dazzling young generation among the major generals.

"This action has not been approved by Your Majesty yet. We all acted without authorization. If Your Majesty blames you in the future, I will bear the responsibility." Hu Hai said loudly.

Li Chengyi smiled and said, "Since my brothers have crossed the river, then this matter will be a matter of my brother. If we can't get along with the general's love, we will naturally have to take responsibility together in the future."

Hu Hai nodded. This action was not approved by the emperor at all. However, because it was to fight Jiankang and to rescue the Supreme Emperor, Chen Shan and Chen Feng would support his action. It was precisely because of this that the two young heroes of the Li family personally led their troops across the river.

"Okay. With the help of the two brothers, we will be even more like a tiger. Jiankang City has only 20,000 old and weak at this moment. Now we have 30,000 strong soldiers, and the two Governor Feng from Lingnan have also brought 20,000 troops to come. We have 50,000 troops against 20,000 old and weak at Jiankang City. Before Shen Luoyan comes back, we have three days to take down Jiankang and rescue the Supreme Emperor." Hu Hai was very excited when he said this.

He seemed to have seen success waving to him. Although among the 30,000 reinforcements Chen Shan sent to him, only the Liyang defenders and the Navy Marines were elite veterans, and the rest were mostly rural soldiers. But even so, they had almost 20,000 elite soldiers, not to mention that there were a large number of firearms passing by the ship.

Even if the 20,000 local soldiers from the Feng family father and daughter were not included, Hu Hai felt that he could still take over Jiankang City within three days.

"In the end, Governor Chen Shan has sent a letter from General Lu Shishen and Marshal Zhang Zhongjian of Jiang Ling, so that the two adults will hold the Shen Luoyan at the critical moment and buy some time for us. General Chen Feng is also making an emergency mobilization. Once the Wu army in Jingkou returns to Jiankang in a strange movement, General Chen Feng will lead Jiangdu troops to launch a crossing battle to restrain the Wu army in Jingkou."

"Okay. In this way, we will join forces with the five armies. With this support, we will definitely defeat Jiankang in one fell swoop and rescue His Majesty the Supreme Emperor."

Li Chengli was even more anxious than Hu Hai and said directly: "Governor, just order to attack Jiankang! Let's destroy this court food too!"

"Send the order. The whole army sets off, aim for Jiankang, and march quickly!"

"Set off!"

Woo woo woo woo woo ——

Like a thunderclap, amid the sound of the horn, Chen Jun, who had just arrived in Jiangnan, had already lined up neatly and galloped towards Jiankang in a neatly marching line.

On both sides of Zhejiang between Yuhang and Kuaiji, the two armies were confronting each other across the river.

Chen Zhong led a 40,000-piece miscellaneous army to go south to find the Chen army, but successively recovered Yuhang and Wujun Zhucheng. The whereabouts of Chen army had not been found yet. When Chen Zhong was about to withdraw back to Siping Mountain, an army suddenly approached quickly, and then the two soldiers suddenly encountered each other.

The encounter with the 40,000 Wu army was under the persuasion of Feng Huan. Feng Ann and his daughter who sent troops eastwards were now divided into four provinces. The Feng family and the Xian family served as the governors of the two provinces. This time, the 20,000 Baiyue local soldiers led by the Feng family were tribal local soldiers of the four provinces in Lingnan.

No one expected such a thing as the Baiyue Army advancing eastward and the Wu Army advancing southward, which was encountered by Zhejiang, across the river.

The Baiyue local soldiers suddenly encountered the Wu army, but there was not much panic. They advanced eastward, from Jian'an to Yongjia and then to Kuaiji, and they encountered several empty cities along the way, and they had never fought a decent battle. The Baiyue tribe local soldiers made a fortune along the way, just like locusts passing through the border, washing the city one by one. When they walked here, each local soldiers made almost a considerable fortune. They were heading for the wealthiest Jiankang City in Jiangnan. No one was afraid of the Wu army twice as much as theirs in front.

On the contrary, after the Wu army suddenly encountered the Baiyue Army, they were panicked. They were already pieced together and found the Chen army who had suddenly hidden along the way. However, they suddenly encountered the Baiyue Army in Lingnan, which made many Wu army feel that they had stepped into the trap of Chen army.

The Baiyue Army suddenly appeared in front of them. The Chen army with more than 20,000 people must be behind them. "They were surrounded by ambush.

"Kill them, break into Jiankang City, grab money, grain and women!" Feng Ann, the commander of the Baiyue Army who saw the opponent's formation was faintly chaotic, immediately pulled out the horizontal knife beside his waist, pointed forward, and roared.

Feng Ang's battle slogan was very straightforward, and even made Feng Hua frown a little, but to the big men of the Baiyue tribe's local army, it was extremely stimulating their nerves. The big men were excited and red in their faces. Many dark and strong men even pulled open the animal skin robe on their chests, clenched their fists and shouted hard.

Countless roars sounded one after another, and the strong men pounded their chests and roared to the sky, causing the Wu army array on the other side to cause a chaotic wave of chaos. Some barbarians, like wild beasts, made many old and weak Wu soldiers in Jiangnan feel weak and their calves cramped.

"Go into Jiankang City, grab money, grain, and women!" Countless voices gathered together, like thunder. The local soldiers of the Baiyue tribe did not care about who they were working for or who they were fighting for. The only thing they cared about was money.

Fighting for tribe leaders is also a great opportunity to make money. The soldiers fight, and they have always cut their heads to judge their achievements and finally divided the spoils. Therefore, when they see the 40,000 Wu troops opposite, in the eyes of the local soldiers, they are 40,000 golden copper strings and silver ingots. And as long as they defeat them, they can enter Jiankang City and plunder the entire most prosperous and magnificent capital in the south.

In early October, the rivers in Zhejiang are shabby and there is no need for boats and boats to pass.

The sound of horns and horns sounded. Twenty thousand fierce Baiyue soldiers wearing animal skins, holding machetes and spears were like hungry tigers out of the cage, roaring and roaring, without any formation or attack sequence. They were like rushing toward the Wu army on the other side, rushing forward and killing the generals.

"puff!"

Facing the sparse rain of arrows, a fierce man from the strait of the storm first rushed to the other side. He raised his sword and cut down a thin and thin old man Wu Jun who was half a hundred years old. Then, the man did not immediately inherit the charge, but stopped and knocked down the helmet on the body of the fallen Wu Jun. Then he grabbed the gray hair with one hand, held the knife with the other hand, and waved it hard to chop off the head.

Blood spurted up, but the man didn't care at all. He wiped the blood oar on his face casually, then put the head on his waist and headed the head. The man grinned and laughed a few times, looked at Wu Jun who was constantly fleeing, picked up his sword and rushed forward.

The 40,000 temporarily pieced together old and weak cards met the extremely fierce Baiyue tribe's local soldiers. After a moment of fighting, they had already collapsed. Then, an encounter turned into a one-sided hunting. One after another, the Wu army fell down, and one head after another was cut off and hung on the waists of the barbarians.

The sun sets, the setting sun is like blood, the corpse is like the sea, and the head is like a mountain.
