(2014, Happy Year of the Horse!)

Liang Zhang was not scared away. Although he suffered a big loss in the first attack, he lost more than 600 ships and nearly 20,000 troops on the surface. But in fact, the first round of attack was just a round of tentative attacks, and the real loss was only three thousand combat soldiers.

After suspending the attack and resting for a day and a half, on the eve of dawn on the third day, Liang Zhang once again threw all the ships he had gathered into the battle.

Moreover, this time, Liang Zhang no longer tried it. He loaded all his troops, more than 30,000 people and horses at one time, divided them into eight clusters, attacking Hu Douzhou from different directions, and launched a charge with the cover of night.

This was a gambling. Liang Zhang bet that there were only a hundred Qin army warships and only ten thousand soldiers on the island. The most important thing is that Liang Zhang bet that the Qin army's firearms should have been used almost the same.

Moreover, this time he carefully selected the dark night before dawn to attack suddenly, and divided the troops into eight clusters to attack with all their strength, which was also considered for a long time.

Even if the Qin army still has gunpowder on the island, will the Qin navy dare to intercept it separately? If it is separated, even if the Qin army has the help of firearms, its strength will only be weaker. The Huainan army can completely rely on its numerical advantage to defeat the Qin army. If the Qin navy does not intercept it separately, it doesn't matter if Liang Zhang's eighth-root troops are eaten one or two routes, and they can still land on the island. Once they land on the island, the Qin army will eventually be defeated.

Faced with the sudden large-scale attack of the Huainan Army, Wu Qian led the navy to fight. Without the advantageous weapon of firearms, Wu Qian, who had only more than a hundred ships, did not dare to divide his troops in the dark. As a result, although the first fleet was fighting fiercely, Liang Zhang's plan was still successful.

Liang Zhang lost a fleet, but the other seven clusters finally landed successfully.

After landing, two clusters were blocked by the island's infantry and were defeated. But Liang Zhang also won time, mobilized five other combat groups, and finally surrounded Lin Song's first army infantry at the foot of Langshan.

Wu Qian and Deng Huan's navy guarded Lin Song's left wing coast along the coast, but they also suffered huge losses. Under Liang Zhang's shark tactics, the First Fleet lost almost half of its warships. Although they were on the shore and facing the infantry, they were already struggling to support them.

"Report to the Lord of Wu, Deng, and Lin, who came to tell us that the distance was difficult to relieve the near fire, Jianghai Town was difficult to hold on, and reinforcements were difficult to reach for a while. Lin Army was willing to lead the brothers of the Ninth Army of the Township to protect the evacuation of the First Fleet and the 18th Army of the First Fleet." A member of Lin Song's army said to Wu Qian with a determined expression.

Lin Song's Ninth Army was surrounded, and even if he wanted to leave, he could no longer leave. However, the First Fleet and the Eighteenth Army were still on the sea. Although there were many enemy ships around, if he wanted to escape, he would still have a chance.

Wu Qian turned around and looked around. There were fires everywhere on the river. They were ships from Huainan. Although those ships could not be called warships at all, many ants bite to death. At present, Wu Qian not only used up gunpowder, but also used up all crossbow nails, arrows and stone bombs in previous battles. Until now, he was completely fighting in close combat.

"How many boats do we have?" Wu Qian asked.

Yang Weili, a member of the First Fleet, gritted his teeth and replied: "There are two tower ships, three fighting ships, five sea falcons, two ships, and the rest of the warships of all sizes and sizes sank. Together, the brothers on each ship have about two thousand."

This was a very heavy casualty. It can be said that the worst casualty since the establishment of the First Fleet. The First Fleet and the Eighteenth Army were only two thousand people left. Although they sank several times the enemy's army, they also reached the end of their destruction.

"Zhang Shanjun, how many brothers do you have in the Ninth Army?" Deng Huan was injured while fighting with one arm, and asked with a horizontal knife in one hand.

"There are more than 3,000 people." Zhang Shenjun was in a low mood. Facing the enemy who rushed from all directions, although the Ninth Army fought back desperately, Liang Zhang and others were not ordinary people, and they attacked the few with the masses. Although they fought desperately, they were just rural soldiers.

Wu Qian gritted his teeth and had no other choice at the moment. At this time, he left Lin Song and left, and they could escape. Since that was the case, he would just take a gamble, abandon the ship and land, and retreat with Lin Song to Langshan, where there was a military camp, which had the advantage of the territory and could hold on. Perhaps they could hold on until the Qin King sent troops to aid.

After talking about his thoughts with Deng Huan, Deng Huan agreed immediately without hesitation.

"Burn the boat, let's fight against Huainan Dog!" Wu Qian yelled.

"Fight!"

At this point, there is no other choice. Even if the navy and township soldiers have never been the first-class warship troops of the Qin army, they can be compared with ordinary soldiers who are not other forces. At least, the navy and township soldiers are completely trained according to the warship troops. Their fighting will is not weak.

Lin Song and the Ninth Army were completely surrounded. In the dawn of dawn, Lin Song was covered in blood and led his troops to fight and retreat. Their eyes were to retreat back to Langshan and defend against the dangers of the mountain.

But whether it is Liang Zhang, Bi Shiduo, or Li Hanzhi, these people can be regarded as powerful generals in the world, and the soldiers led by their subordinates are even more comparable to those of Lin Song's rural soldiers. Lin Song and the Ninth Army of the Township Army can be very proud of being able to survive several times the enemy's troops until now.

He waved the Mo sword in his hand and slashed hard, and Lin Song killed another fierce Huainan soldier. Today, there were more than twenty Huainan soldiers who died under his sword.

Lin Song's fierceness also attracted the attention of the Huainan Army, but with the specially made Mo sword in Lin Song's hand, it was difficult to attract attention. There were not many generals who were carrying the Mo sword as weapons. What's more, it was even rarer for Lin Song to ride a horse to get the Mo sword. But the most eye-catching thing was his ferocity, and almost no one could stop him.

"Damn it, the soldiers who dare to fight like this are actually rural soldiers? Such a fierce general is actually rural soldiers?" Qin Yan looked at Lin Song and turned around, and the Mo Dao in his hand cut off the head of a tall Huainan soldier. His eyes twitched. Damn, in his opinion, the soldiers in front of him were almost the same as the old brothers of the battalion under his command, and the general who took Mo Dao could not find such a person in his camp. But such soldiers and such generals could not even line up Li Jing's combat camp. They were even under the united soldiers. They were considered reserve troops. At most, the garrison troops were at level one, which was really hard to believe.

"They are some good soldiers, and that officer is also a rare general. If you pass the order, you will be treated preferentially and not killed if you are willing to surrender." Liang Zhang suffered a lot this time. He estimated that when he took Hu Douzhou and the Qin army on the island, the 20,000 soldiers he brought would be lost half. If these Qin troops could be replenished, it would be great.

"Save your weapons and surrender and don't kill you!"

Li Hanzhi rushed towards him with an eight-edged golden cudgel in his hand, danced hard, and immediately swept away two lives in the village soldiers and killed them with one stick.

When Lin Song saw a bald man approaching, he killed two brothers in a blink of an eye. He couldn't help but open his eyes wide open and roared and shouted, "Bald man, look for death!" He raised the Mo sword and slashed it down. Li Hanzhi raised his stick and jingled it. A slight squirting sparks. Li Hanzhi felt his arms were a little numb, and he couldn't help but secretly shocked the Mo sword general's power.

Lin Song was entangled by Li Hanzhi and could not escape. Bi Shiduo led a group of Cao Army brothers who followed him to surrender to Gao Pian and came to kill him. For a moment, the Ninth Army was about to collapse, but at the critical moment, Wu Qian and Deng Huan had already led two thousand troops to rush over.

Soon the remnants of the First Fleet, the 18th Army and the Ninth Army gathered together.

Lin Song couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Wu Qian and Deng Huan, who were also covered in blood: "Why don't you leave!"

"I can't bear to see you being slaughtered." Deng Huan laughed and stabbed a Huainan soldier to death with a sword.

"Damn you, you are stupid. I still want to wait for you to bring reinforcements. Now, let's get together and wait to die." Lin Song wiped the blood from his face and said with a heavy breath.

"Don't worry, the King of Qin must have known the news here. As long as we can retreat to Langshan, we may be able to save our lives." Wu Qian explained.

Lin Song's face was a little dim. It was not so easy to retreat to Langshan. The Huainan army on the island not only had more numbers than them, but also fiercer than them, and they had no advantage at all.

The facts were as Lin Song expected. Although Wu Qian and Wu Huan led more than 2,000 people to help, the soldiers who had originally besieged the navy also rushed over and gathered together. Liang Zhang could calmly put all his troops into the siege and kill them. The Huainan soldiers around him were more and more surrounded, while the fewer brothers around him were fighting.

As dawn was about to dawn, less than a thousand Qin troops were left in the encirclement, and they were about to be wiped out. However, even so, facing Liang Zhang's surrender, Wu Qian, Deng Huan and Lin Song ignored all of them. Even the more than a thousand soldiers in the village also fought to the death and refused to surrender.

"Damn it seems that we are all going to die here today. There is nothing to say. Let's meet at the Martyrs' Temple. Eighteen years later, I will be a hero again!" Wu Qian shouted, covering his abdomen and gritted his teeth.

"The old and young wife and children in the family have their own pensions and cares for the King of Qin. I have nothing to worry about. Kill one of them and kill two of them to make money. I have already killed enough today, and now I have earned money." Deng Huan also shouted.

Lin Song was injured all over at this time, and was exhausted from his body with Mo Dao. Is he going to die? Thinking about it, he was a little regretful that he had countless women in his life. Unfortunately, he had never married a wife seriously and had a son and a half daughter. Damn, he was about to die, so he was really unwilling to accept it.

The territory of the Navy in Xizhen, Suzhou, on a mountain opposite Langshan.

Xu Wen arrived on his horse, "Brother, Liang Zhang has already attacked Hu Douzhou, and the Qin army on the island is about to be destroyed."

Yang Xingmi raised his eyes to look north and sighed.

Li Shenfu, who was standing beside him, said with admiration: "The Qin army is indeed amazing. It is just 10,000 troops, and it is also a third-line troops in the Qin army. As a result, under the attack of Liang Zhang's 50,000 troops, he could defend for so long, and it hurt Liang Zhang severely. Liang Zhang ate them and suffered a lot of losses, losing more than half of them."

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Yang Xingmi also sighed. They came from Luzhou, originally planning to find an opportunity to save some Qin troops. As a result, the Qin troops on the island had the opportunity to abandon Hu Douzhou, but they actually left to fight to the death, which was beyond his expectations. Although they felt that the defenders on the island were a bit pedantic, their courage to fight still shocked Yang Xingmi.

The other thirty-six heroes in Huainan behind them were also silent. Even if they were willing to help each other, they had no way to help at the moment.

The Zhenhai Army in Changzhou, the Zhenhai Army governor Zhou Bao had secretly assembled a large army here.

"Prince, Liang Zhang has already attacked Hu Douzhou. More than 10,000 Qin troops on the island are about to be destroyed. The governor of Hangzhou sent someone to ask if he should take action immediately?" A Zhenhai aide asked the Prince of Runan, who was over 60 years old, but still had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, but had one eye on his face and was wearing a blindfold. Zhou Bao, the governor of Zhenhai Army, asked.

Zhou Bao, like Li Keyong, is one-eyed, and is both famous generals of the Tang Dynasty today. However, Li Keyong's one-eyed eye is born, but Zhou Bao's one-eyed eye is different. When Zhou Bao was an imperial guard officer in the capital, in order to be appreciated by the emperor and know that the emperor loved polo, he practiced polo hard. In a polo game where the emperor came to watch, he performed extremely bravely and scored goals in succession. He fought too hard. One eye was hit by the polo. As a result, he kept blind and continued to play. He continued to play and beat the ball, and eventually won the favor of the emperor. He was promoted continuously since then.

At that time, Gao Pian was just a descendant of Zhou Bao and respectfully called him the eldest brother.

But later, although Zhou Bao had long become a hero, Gao Pian's general journey became even brighter, and later came from behind and gradually overshadowed his limelight.

Now, Gao Pian is appointed as the governor of Huainan, and is granted the title of Prince of Bohai, and is promoted to Shizhong. Zhou Bao takes over as the former governor of Gao Pian, and is appointed as the governor of Zhenhai, and is appointed as the governor of Runan, and is promoted to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat.

It was a good thing that the two were separated by a river and became neighbors. But in the end, because of different ideas about dealing with Li Jing, the conflict between the two of them was eventually triggered for many years, until their original brother became their current enemies.

Before, Li Jing and Gao Pian fought with each other and finally sent troops to garrison Hu Douzhou. In fact, Li Jing got Zhou Bao's tacit approval, and it was the result of the two suppressing Gao Pian together. Hu Douzhou was actually the territory of Zhenhaijun.

After Zhang Lin was killed and defeated by Huang Chao, Gao Pian immediately ignored Huang Chao's rampant movement and retreated to Yangzhou. It was not because he was afraid of Huang Chao. The biggest reason was that Gao Pian already knew about the joint efforts of Li Jing and Zhou Bao, so he did not care about the court and Huang Chao and was determined to protect himself.

This time, Gao Pian finally saw the opportunity and secretly formed an alliance with Li Keyong and others, and took action against Li Jing in order to break the iron chains that Li Jing and Zhou Bao joined forces to tie Huainan.

With one move, Zhou Bao would not sit still if he moved his whole body.

In terms of strength, Li Jing's strength is far above Gao Pian, but Li Jing is far away from the southeast and is beyond the reach.

Gao Pian's Huainan Army was also above Zhou Bao's Zhenhai Army. He had previously relied on the power of Li Jing to suppress Gao Pian. If Gao Pian forced Li Jing's power out of the southeast, Zhou Bao would definitely be Gao Pian's next target.

Gao Pian is very smart, and Zhou Bao is not stupid either.

Everyone knows the situation in the Tang Dynasty today. If the world changes, who will be willing to be lonely?

Whether it is Gao Pian or Zhou Bao, if these two close neighbors want to expand, they must first settle the other party.

Zhou Bao's one eye flashed, and finally said in a deep voice: "Still steady, let Liang Zhang clear all the subordinates of Li Jing on Hu Douzhou, and then let us take action again. Well, let the governor of Hangzhou stare at Hu Douzhou, and let him lead the eight capitals of Hangzhou as the pioneer in the middle of the night tonight and take action immediately."

Liang Zhang is one of Gao Pian's two gems. Zhang Lin, the other gem, has already died at the hands of Huang Chao. If he can kill this other gem, Liang Zhang and eat his 50,000 troops, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Gao Pian. Moreover, if Liang Zhang is killed, he can also show Li Jing the maintenance of the two alliances, and at the same time, he can take Hu Douzhou back.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

When the staff heard the name of the Badu of Hangzhou, they quietly reminded him, "The governor of Hangzhou cannot really control the Badu of Hangzhou. Today, the Badu of Hangzhou is actually led by Dong Chang from Shijing Town. Dong Chang is very ambitious, and he has a very powerful guy named Qian Liu. He has vaguely shown signs of replacing the governor of Hangzhou. The prince must guard against it."

"Hangzhou Badu, Dong Chang, Qian Liu." Zhou Bao snorted a few names softly, snorted coldly, and laughed: "I have heard of some interesting little guys. I heard that they are very capable. Therefore, I had specially transferred them to this time, but I wanted to see if they fought with Liang Zhang and others to see if they were true."
