Chapter 070 Return to the Old Land

Luoqiao, guarding the river that our army entered Jiankang from the river.

This is the second time to come to Luoluo Bridge. Last time I came, I was brought by Huan Xiu; this time I came, I brought someone else. And Huan Xiu can't come again.

From this bridge to the west along the river is the so-called solid stone city.

There are military fortresses on the east and west sides of the Stone City. Although capturing the Stone City means capturing Jiankang, it is not advisable to attack the Stone City. Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to capture the stone city known as the first city in the world. With our strength of more than 1,000 people, we naturally don't have to make that unnecessary attempt.

In order to capture Jiankang City from the east, this Luoluo Bridge is the only place to pass, because the river under Luoluo Bridge can extend all the way to the foot of Fuzhou Mountain outside Jiankang City. When Sun En led the army to attack Jiankang through Dantu, he was attacked by Liu's defenders at Luoqiao and withdrew.

Huan Xuan set up a second line of defense here, which is naturally expected.

The defenders here are Huangfufu, with a total of 7,000 or 8,000 defenders.

When Jiang Cheng met the defenders, I didn't quite understand why the number of defenders was so small. At that time, I guessed that Jiang Cheng was far away from Jiankang, and the garrison set up was nothing more than to delay the march of the rebels, not to annihilate the enemy. Now when I see that there are only seven or eight people guarding such an important Luoluo Bridge, and there is no sign of ambush around, I feel even more strange: where is Huan Xuan's Jingzhou elite? Do you want to fight against the city with me?

When Huan Xuan led his troops down the river from Jingzhou, he was known as 100,000 soldiers and horses. Even if he didn't really bring 100,000 soldiers, when Liu Laozhi and I attacked Huan Xuan, his troops were at least 50,000. This is what I saw with my own eyes, and there will be no fake.

When the rebels left Beijing, we only brought 1,700 people. In addition, there are only more than 2,000 reinforcements sent from Jingkou. Even if Huan Xuan's side does not count the reinforcements of the arch guard Jiankang of each state, the strength of the Jingzhou army alone is nearly 20 times that of our side.

With 20 times the strength, instead of building a camp on an important offensive path to carry out a positional battle, but only using thousands of troops in the open place, which is really not understandable.

Even if you want to delay the enemy's attack with thousands of people, you can build a simple fortress and deploy most of the soldiers in the fortress and a small number of soldiers as an ambush. When the defenders fought against the attacking army, the ambush came out again and cut off the attacking army. Even if it could not win, it could discourage the morale of the attackers.

But the defenders of Luoluo Bridge are obviously not deployed in this way.

From the perspective of the Battle of Jiangcheng, there is no doubt about breaking through the Luoluo Bridge. Although the number of defenders is more than that of Jiang Cheng, the number of our army is also more than that of Jiang Cheng. Except for the obvious number of people, the enemy has no other advantage.

Although the guard general Huangfufu is a fierce general, we even killed the first fierce general under Huan Xuan. How can we still pay attention to Huangfufu? With the victory of Jiang Chengyi and the defense of Luoqiao, our army's morale was extremely high.

Although Jingzhou's soldiers are fierce, the Beifu army is no less than that. There is no need to say much about the combat effectiveness of the Beifu Army, but how the people's army is worrying. These soldiers are about to set foot on a real battlefield and encounter a real battle. Instead of waiting at that time to test whether these heroic righteous can really sacrifice for the country, it is better to use Huan Xuan's army deployed in Luoluoqiao to train troops.

So after discussing with Tan Pingzhi, Liu Yi and others, we reorganized the army. Mix the Beifu soldiers with the people's soldiers and divide them into two armies. Tan and I led an army as the vanguard; Liu Yi and He Wuji led a large army in the middle; Liu Daogui and Zhu Lingshi and Zhu Chaoshi brothers were the founders.

Although I have some leg injuries, after the treatment of the military doctor and the rest of nearly two hours, as long as I don't have to run, it should be fine. After all, this Huangfu should not be as difficult as Wu Fuzhi.

Tan and I set a team of dead men by me and him to attack from both sides of the bridge to disperse the enemy's troops. If the enemy is strong in the east, it will attack in the west; if there are many enemy soldiers in the west, it will attack in the east. After destroying the enemy soldiers on the bridge and occupying Luoluo Bridge, the main force can safely enter the river from under the bridge without harassment on the bridge.

Huangfu's defenders are trying to prevent our army from marching along the river. As long as our main warships cross the Luoluo Bridge, the defenders guarding Luoluo Bridge do not have to care about him. I'm not at all worried that these defenders will attack us with the army of Jiankang City. Because this trip is so deep, it is a sinking boat. Knowing that there is no way out, won't the soldiers be brave and compete for the first place?

What's more, the most important thing for our army is to march quickly, not to pester this army. Therefore, I don't think the goal of this battle is difficult to achieve.

The battle is not fierce, but the process of fighting for the bridge is not as easy as we expected. Huangfu did not benefit from the position battle, so he simply concentrated all his troops near the bridge. This place is completely a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Even if the enemy is unarmed, it is not easy for our army to squeeze onto the bridge.

Half an hour later, the dead body near the bridge almost turned into a wall. Tan and I are both fierce generals, and Tan and I are also fierce generals, and these fierce generals are also led by fierce warriors. However, all bravery, in this narrow place, has been greatly restrained. Even the street fighting on the street is not as difficult as this. For a moment, blood stained the bridge and the river red.

While I was fighting with seven or eight long weapons on the opposite side and thinking about how to break through, I heard the cheers and drums of the enemy.

The cheering of the enemy is obviously not a good thing for us. I wanted to hear what the enemy soldiers were shouting, but the noise around me was not clear. I can only move out of the war circle while fighting.

After I understood what the enemy was shouting, I was surprised, because they shouted that the enemy master would be killed!

From the enemy's point of view, there are obviously two main generals participating in the battle. This killed general, if not me, must be the one on the other side of the bridge. In order to confirm the situation on the other side of the bridge, I killed by the river under the escort of several soldiers.

Look at the war situation from here, it is clear. The enemy's troops deployed on both sides of the bridge are almost the same, but the situation on both sides is very different: our army on the other side is retreating steadily, the enemy troops lined up to cover up against our army, and our army's formation has been repeatedly broken. Fortunately, the speed of reassemeration did not give the enemy a chance to slaughter. Looking at this situation, Tan must have been in trouble.

The situation is extremely critical!

This side of me was also hindered by the tenacity of the enemy soldiers. It seems that the enemy soldiers can't be killed. The en beside me turned red for a moment and danced with a long knife. Even I dare not get too close to him. I'm not only afraid that he will hurt me by mistake, but also afraid that I will hurt him by mistake. As soon as I got out of the battle, our army was attacked by the enemy. I can't worry about Tan anymore, because the situation on our side is not optimistic.

I was about to take more than a dozen soldiers around me back to the bridge when suddenly a flying hammer flew over from the river and knocked down several enemy soldiers in front of me. I turned my head and saw that the bow of a Meng Chong ship stood with a majestic member, and a flying man swirling rapidly in his hand. This person is not someone else, but Zhu Chaoshi who guards the rear army.

Because the Zhu brothers did not want to fight directly with Huan Xuan's army, they were sent to the rear army to take charge of the rear of the palace and guarding the central army and the heavy. Unexpectedly, he came to help at a time of crisis.

Zhu Chaoshi Fei Zhong came out again and knocked down several enemy soldiers on the opposite shore. Then he jumped to the other side. The flying hammer turned into a long-handled hammer in an instant. The long hammer swept, and several enemy soldiers fell to the ground.

Liu Rongzu also rushed out of the retreating array at the right time and stood side by side with Zhu Chaoshi. He inserted his two guns into the ground and took out the bow behind him. Three or four arrows can be fired at each shot. Arrows must hit the enemy's throat. Only Liu Rongzu has such stunts.

Zhu Chaoshi opened the distance from the enemy with a long Zhong, while Liu Rongzu attacked from a long distance with bows and arrows. The offensive and defensive posture of the two people on the spot is also wonderful.

After Zhu Chaoshi and Liu Rongzu joined forces, the situation on the other side has stabilized. Our army began to reorganized the array, counterattacked the enemy soldiers, and advanced towards the bridge.

I cut down an enemy soldier who came to attack while I observed the war situation, raised my knife and waved it to the sky, shouting: "The enemy soldiers have retreated!" Kill the soldiers!"

I jumped into the enemy's array again, waved my knife, and cut down the two enemy soldiers who were the first. The soldiers behind me roared and followed me into the crowded crowd.

The enemy soldiers were shocked by our momentum and retreated to the bridge one after another. On this side of the bridge are me and Kuan; on the other side of the bridge, there are Zhu Chaoshi and Liu Rongzu. The four of us and hundreds of soldiers caught up with the bridge, tilted each other, fell from the bridge, and were killed countless by Meng Longfu standing in the bow.

Hundreds of enemy soldiers are crowded on the narrow bridge, and their long weapons can't be used, and so are our long weapons. I ordered the soldiers with long knives to stand at the forefront and attack the enemy with the swords taught by Wei Yongzhi and Ke En.

This knife method is actually not subtle, and it can even be said to be very stupid. However, it is this simplest knife method that can exert the most powerful and powerful effect. No matter how subtle the method is, it will not help. This set of knives suitable for the lane can be used in the battle for the bridge at this time.

The soldiers on the bridge ignored their heads and tails, and many people were swept by the blade heavily or lightly, and suddenly there was a scream on the bridge. Gradually, the enemy soldiers on the bridge could not resist. Some enemy soldiers jumped off the bridge in a hurry and were killed by our army by boat in the water.

Within a cup of tea, we destroyed all the enemies on the bridge and occupied the bridge deck.

The enemy soldiers who lost the bridge did not fall into decadent, but regrouped to regain the bridge. They swarmed up and sealed the bridge from both ends. To my surprise, they also quickly learned the way we attacked the bridge, put the long weapons at the forefront, and used the simplest way to resist our simplicity. Unable to breathe at all, we fell into another hand-to-hand battle.
