Chapter 160 Origin
The Xiya Ferry Crossing of Xiaoheling is also a small highland that people surrounded by ridges on the banks of the Han River in their early years from the low-silt beach. In addition to the last T-shaped fork and connecting to the avenue between Hanchuan City and Shuangliuzhuang, the ferry crossing is mostly surrounded by low-silt beach areas.
After the flood season, the Han River flooded and the beaches around the ferry were flooded with water, and they were all in a complete area.
The ferry itself is a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At this time, there are hundreds of shallow-bottomed and flat-bottomed bandit ships, urgently entering the flooded area outside the ferry. Hundreds of archers stood at the bow of the boat and tightly blocked the only passage in and out of the ferry.
Jiang Ang, surrounded by dozens of bandits, fled from the fork road to the ferry, and dared to breathe heavily. In order to cover up his shame of being defeated, he pointed at the sky and cursed:
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Where did this killing star come out? How could there be soldiers and generals who are so powerful in the seven prefectures on the north road of Jinghu? "
After the ferry prosperity, in addition to the warehouses, many merchants opened restaurants and restaurants here to do business in the past business and travel. These shops and houses were also occupied by the thief army as temporary military houses and commanders.
Jiang Ang's three souls were scared, but his body was not damaged at all. He pulled a chair and sat down in the hall serving as a handsome tent. He picked up the teapot, poured a healing tea into the spout, and cried to many leaders about the danger of being killed and fled to the ferry.
Although most of the people present did not directly lead the soldiers to the war, they all witnessed with their own eyes that the three elite troops were killed without any fighting back in less than half an hour, leaving behind three or four hundred corpses and fleeing to the ferry.
Everyone looked solemn. Apart from the shock and panic that they couldn't calm down for a long time, who was in the mood to laugh at Jiang Ang for escaping in a mess?
No one knew where this team was like a god-general soldiers and generals. At this time, no one thought about going around Shuangliuzhuang to attack Hanchuan City, where the troops were almost exhausted.
"San Zheng, I came back after a defeat, and I was punished and I had no complaints. But how to fight this next battle, you are just saying something!" Jiang Ang, a long Jiang Long, was not stupid, but he was impatient. He looked at Hu Dangzhou, the third boss sitting in the hall, and asked.
"San Zheng, you said that this small team of troops, like heavenly soldiers and gods, came out where did it come out? How could it be so powerful? In the past three or four years, we have not fought with officers and soldiers. Although we have suffered a lot of losses, we are not outrageous to this point today! If we cannot figure out this matter, we cannot fight this battle! In addition, we must send people to report to the boss immediately. The boss must not act rashly now..." The others looked at the middle-aged generals.
The dozen people present were not the tender melon seeds that had only fallen into the late Tianxuan or the Jianjie period. Most of them were bandits across the Jingjiang River (Jinghu section of the Yangtze River), Dongting Lake for many years. Before they formed an alliance with Sun Yanzhou and absorbed a large number of refugees, they did not do much to kill people, rob people, rob people, and rob prefectures and counties, nor did they "deal" with prefectures and county officers and soldiers along Dongting Lake and the Jingjiang River.
Local officials are greedy for money, and officers and soldiers are greedy for life and fear of death.
In the early years, the forces of each family were not very large, with only three or five hundred people. They were entangled in the destruction of fishermen, boatmen and prisoners who committed crimes to rob the house, but they were not afraid of the officers and soldiers.
In the early years of Tianxuan, Sun Yanzhou joined forces with the thirteen water camps in Dongting Lake and Jingjiang to plunder the official ships that transported the autumn taxes, and obtained a large amount of grain, silk, and weapons. He used this to absorb a large number of refugees from the south and hungry people, and his strength increased greatly.
At that time, not to mention that Dongting Lake was invincible, it even killed the prefectures and counties along Jinghu, and once captured several cities.
Xu Wei recruited 3,000 elite soldiers from Xiangyang to Jinghu South Road as the commander. Only then did the families realize that elite soldiers were beyond the reach of the rammed crowd, but they still firmly occupied several cities next to Dongting Lake and were not completely at a disadvantage.
In the past two years, in addition to strengthening the training of troops and eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, they also summoned a large number of craftsmen to start furnaces and smelting iron on the sandy island in Dongting Lake to build military armor. They believed that their strength had made great progress, so they took advantage of the huge increase in the river water and the defense of Eyue and other places was empty and they made a big deal.
Unexpectedly, before the real strategy was launched, they as vanguards attacked Hanchuan, but were hit head-on and beaten to death.
As the chief general who raided Hanchuan and the three-headed leader of the Dongjing Alliance, Hu Dangzhou's face was so gloomy that he could twist out water, but he did not say much except for issuing many orders to strengthen the defense on the left and right sides of the ferry.
However, it was the middle-aged Confucian scholar at the left who looked at Hu Dangzhou, as if he had a lot of words hidden from him and could not speak happily.
Facing the middle-aged Confucian scholar's eyes that strongly wanted to say something, Hu Dangzhou was hesitant.
"Sanzhuan, what are you fighting with Mr. Tian? You can't say anything in front of everyone. Is there anything you hide from me?" A military general next to Jiang Ang, who was not tall but extremely strong, looked at the small movements between Hu Dangzhou and his counselor Tian Wenru, asked dissatisfiedly.
The Dongjing Alliance initially joined forces with thirteen water camp forces, and then all large and small water camp forces joined in. Even though a large number of southbound refugees were absorbed in the later period and were able to grow, the teams of refugees were basically led by leaders mainly led by clan leaders, Xianghao and others.
The relationship within the Dongjing Alliance was quite complicated. In Mali, a person who raided Hanchuan, Hu Dangzhou had the highest prestige, the strongest strength, and the main general, but he was not yet arbitrary.
"Zhao's head of the family is so serious. Tian has a little speculation about the origin of this team, but hesitated to say it out for you to learn more about it." The middle-aged Confucian scholar smiled slightly and said.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go quickly if you have farts. When is it time? Where can there be morale in the military that can be disturbed?" Jiang Ang urged.
"..." The middle-aged Confucian scholar saw that these thieves were not respectful to him, and his mouth twitched slightly, trying to suppress his anger towards Jiang Ang and others, bowed to the generals and said, "I fled south from Xuzhou and had the opportunity to see the armored thrust cavalry of the Chushan vanguard-althed cavalry - although this armored cavalry did not show its flag, the armored outfit and style of assault combat were very similar to the armored cavalry of the Tianxiong Army..."
"Are you trying to say that this team is the vanguard selection army under Chushan?" Jiang Ang asked, "The elite vanguard selection army of Chushan is so fierce that he has long noticed our plans. He even farted to Ezhou?"
"No, no, the Jiang family misunderstood what I said," the middle-aged Confucian scholar hurriedly defended, "The Chushan Army has been incredible in recent years. The Selected Front Army, adapted by the direct guard camp of the Jingsheng Hou Xu Huai, is definitely qualified to be among the strongest troops in the world. However, no matter how strong the Selected Front Army is, it has only three or four thousand people, and it is never to the point of indestructible..."
"Mr. Tian, what do you want to say when you are around?" someone asked impatiently.
Tian Wenru has a unknown origin. He has been investing for half a year and has not made any achievements. He is extremely trusted by the great leader Sun Yanzhou, the third leader Hu Dangzhou and others, and obeys everything.
This time, Sun Yanzhou and Hu Dangzhou were determined to gather a large army to do such a big move. This was the idea that Tian Wenru came up with. However, many leaders were unwilling to take such risks, but they could not resist Sun Yanzhou, Hu Dangzhou and others decided to do so.
Now that the army has not succeeded, it has suffered this great setback. Of course, some people are even more dissatisfied with Tian Wenru.
"I mean this team is very likely to be the Chushan Front Selection Army, but ordinary cavalry teams of the Front Selection Army cannot have such terrifying combat power. They are mostly elite soldiers who have been further selected from the Front Selection Army," said Tian Wenru. "Tian is quite familiar with the Chushan Army Generals. He also asked the President Jiang to tell me carefully about the appearance of the generals led by this team, so that he can know more about it!"
Jiang Ang looked Tian Wenru skeptically, unable to figure out who dared to boast about Haikou and said that he was quite familiar with the Chushan Army.
"If you ask me to say it..." Hu Dangzhou urged Jiang Ang to say it.
Jiang Ang was closest to Xu Huai, Niu Er, Xu Yan, Wu Chihai and others, so of course they could see their appearance clearly and said, "The most impressive one is a reckless man with a black face and a black hair on his face. He is a little taller than our family. He holds a heavy shield and an iron mace, and is powerful and powerful. The large shield made by our army almost broke through without holding on to his mace..."
The middle-aged Confucian scholar took a breath and said in surprise: "This rash man is the black general of Chu Mountain, Niu Yashan. He joined the Jingsheng Marquis Xu Huai during his time in Lanzhou. He was the direct descendant of Jingsheng Marquis Yi. He is stupid and reckless, but he is born with divine power. He is the close friend of Jingsheng Marquis Xu Huai, who appears here. So is there a young general around him who is tall and handsome, with a handsome appearance, and is about twenty-four or five years old?"
"There is indeed such a man, and there is also a general who looks like a Hu. He is extremely powerful in spear skills and I am not able to compete with him!" Jiang Ang said.
"Ah!" Even though the middle-aged Confucian scholar had some guesses, he still sat back on the chair in a daze after confirming this.
"Mr. Tian, who is this young military general?" Hu Dangzhou asked Tian Wenru with a frown.
"This person is the chief manager of the military commander of the Chushan Camp, and is also aware of Cai Ru's military affairs. He was named Xu Huai, the Marquis of Jingsheng! His father was also a famous general of the Yue Dynasty. During his lifetime, he was also a famous general of the Yue Dynasty. I should have thought that he was here in person, so he was so brave..." The middle-aged Confucian scholar murmured.
"It turned out to be this guy?" Although Jiang Ang and others had never dealt with Chu Shan, they were not a reckless man who was completely ignorant of the general trend of the world, they said in shock.
Besides, there have been so many things over the years that the greater the Greater the better, the more outstanding generals have emerged, but who can shine more than Xu Huai’s light?
How could Jiang Ang and others not know about the existence of Chu Shanjun and Jingsheng Hou Xu Huai?
Their first step was to raid Hanchuan, with the purpose of cutting off the officers and soldiers north of Ezhou to advance south to reinforce, while the officers and soldiers north of Ezhou to advance south to reinforce, the Chushan Army was the most feared of.
