Volume 10 Chapter 451
Chapter 451
The wind general who came to kill outside Mo Junying was Guan Yuan. TXT download. He held the spiritual sword in his hand and released a spiritual wind, killing and injuring more than a hundred of the Mo soldiers crowded at the door. Even so, some spiritual blades still flew in through the gaps between the camp doors.
The captain of the Ninth Corps was lucky. The spirit blade only cut off half of his helmet and did not kill him. As soon as he was scared away, the other soldiers also ran behind him. As a result, no one closed the camp gate.
Guan Yuan let three steps merge into two steps, came to the camp gate, kicked open the camp gate that had just been half closed, and finally rushed in with a long stride.
With a fierce general like him leading the charge, the soldiers of the Hundred Wars Army were very relaxed and rushed into the Mo Kingdom navy camp, carrying the Mo soldiers' buttocks to start chasing them.
The eighth and ninth corps commanders of the Mo army were both hereditary nobles, and their Lingwu training was actually pretty good. Otherwise, Gao Hang wouldn't have been able to keep them, but they didn't have the courage to do so. Da, seeing that there were many enemy troops and that the enemy generals were extremely brave, they had no intention of fighting and ran faster than the others.
These two people did not dare to stay in the camp. They walked directly through the camp and fled towards Linzhuang, hoping to meet Gao Hang. The two of them ran faster than rabbits, but they suffered a lot from the soldiers below.
The sudden attack by the enemy had already caused the Mo soldiers to be in chaos. As the enemy broke through and entered the camp, the morale of the Mo soldiers was hit even harder. Now that even the general has escaped, the Mo soldiers have completely lost their resistance. passion and fighting spirit.
The defeat of the Mo army can be described as a complete defeat. With more than 20,000 Mo soldiers, the Zhenjiang Naval Camp, as large as it was, could not hold on for even half an hour before it was fully occupied by the Bai Zhan Army of more than 30,000 people. For two whole The Moguo fleet of the Corps, with more than 40 ships, did not even have a chance to be used, and they were all taken over by the Feng Army.
In this battle, Feng's army came suddenly, and it was true that Mo's army was caught off guard. However, the incompetence of the eighth and ninth corps commanders was also the main reason for the instant loss of the Zhenjiang naval camp.
When the eighth and ninth corps commanders fled towards Linzhuang with the remaining defeated generals, they happened to meet Gao Hang who was leading the cavalry back in a hurry.
Gao Hang was surprised at first when he learned that the enemy had made a false landing in Linzhuang, but then he immediately realized that there might be danger at the camp. His reaction was quick enough and he led the cavalry back to the camp immediately, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.
When he saw a large number of Mo soldiers running forward, abandoning their helmets and armor, Gao Hang's head buzzed, and he secretly screamed, something must have happened to the camp! Sure enough, the eighth and ninth corps commanders were brought to the front and rear of Gao Hang. As if they had been wronged, they both fell to their knees, with snot and eyes flowing out, and cried: "General,... Something bad has happened. Our army camp was attacked by the enemy and has now fallen into enemy hands!"
After a pause, the two men continued with snot and tears: "General Guan was ordered by the general to attack the enemy camp, but as soon as General Guan led the fleet to leave, the enemy's fleet came, and ours The fleet must have encountered the enemy, but I don’t know why there was no battle, and no warning was sent back. As a result, our army was unprepared and was caught off guard by the enemy, which is why we suffered such a big loss!”
The two of them are better off, putting all the blame on Guan Tong. Of course, Guan Tong himself was at fault and did not dare to fight the Feng Kingdom fleet. However, under the circumstances at that time, Guan Tong did not have time to separate a warship to change direction and return to the camp to report the news.
After listening to what they said, Gao Hang felt tightness in his chest, and his heart felt like it had been pricked by a needle, causing bursts of pain. It was too late to hold the eighth and ninth corps commanders accountable, so he asked in a deep voice: "How many enemy troops are there?"
"Oh...a lot, probably...probably no less than 100,000 people." The two corps commanders stammered.
Gao Hang stopped asking questions and shouted loudly to the left and right: "Our soldiers, rush back to the camp at full speed. We must expel the enemy troops and recapture the camp!"
Now Gao Hang was confused. All he led were cavalry. It was okay to attack the unsupported infantry, but it was basically impossible to attack the city.
Gao Hang led the Mo cavalry to rush to the Zhenjiang Navy camp like a whirlwind. However, before they could get close, they were shot head-on by the Feng troops stationed at the wall.
The Mo cavalry immediately launched a counterattack, forming a cavalry archer formation and launching a sharp return fire. The Feng Army was well prepared. The soldiers either crouched behind the arrow stacks or blocked with shields. The arrows fired by the cavalry archers did not pose much of a threat to the Feng Army.
With the high wall as a barrier, the Mo Cavalry's biggest advantages - speed and impact - were no longer effective. As a result, their effect was not as good as that of ordinary infantry. Under the back-and-forth shooting from both sides, Mo Cavalry was ultimately defeated.
Seeing that there was no way to continue fighting like this, Gao Hang had to hastily order to withdraw his troops and temporarily set up camp in an open space about three miles away from the main camp. He himself went to the capital city of Chengjiang to ask for help from Shao Fang.
Now if we want to retake the Zhenjiang Naval Camp, we can only rely on infantry. The best way is to mobilize the Central Army in the capital.
He left aside the main force of the Zhenjiang Navy led by Guan Tong. The fleet moved quickly without any fighting during the period, and smoothly docked at the dock of the Feng Kingdom Navy.
After docking, the 100,000 infantrymen loaded on the ship all came ashore and charged towards the Fengyu coalition camp.
But just as they rushed to the front of the Fengyu coalition camp, they heard a series of loud rumbling sounds in their ears, as if it was thunder coming from the horizon, and even the ground was shaking violently. People even wondered if there was an earthquake.
At this moment, the gate of the Fengyu coalition camp suddenly opened, and the Ninth Army led by Qi Heng rushed out of the camp in a neat battle formation. The charge of heavy cavalry is much more terrifying than that of light cavalry, and at the same time, it is much more powerful.
The heavy cavalry of Feng State seemed to have known that the Mo Army was going to sneak into the camp and had made corresponding preparations. This caught the Mo Army soldiers off guard, especially those who were eager to make great contributions and rushed to the front. They collided with the heavy cavalry rushing out of the camp. The result was predictable. Groups of Mo Army soldiers were knocked to the ground, but they didn't even have the chance to get up. The heavy cavalry ran over them like a bulldozer. For a while, the screams in the Mo Army camp were endless.
The combat effectiveness of ordinary infantry is not at the same level as that of heavy cavalry. Even if the heavy cavalry rushed forward with their eyes closed, the infantry could not resist. The Mo soldiers' sneak attack came quickly and ran even faster. However, they were 100,000 people when they came, but only 50,000 escaped on ships in the end. The other half of the troops either died outside the camp of the Fengyu coalition or did not have time to take the ship and were trapped on the shore of Zhenjiang.
The Mo army, beaten to a pulp by the Ninth Army, could only return to the south bank by boat. But when they approached the camp, they suddenly discovered that their camp had been occupied by the Feng army at some point, and the flags in the camp were all wind flags.
People hadn't figured out what was going on, why their camp was inexplicably occupied by the Feng army, at this time, the Feng navy and the Mo navy of two corps had already set out to fight against the Zhenjiang navy.
The Zhenjiang navy had just suffered a defeat on the north bank, but when they returned to the south bank, they found that even their camp was occupied by the Feng people. At this time, the Mo army soldiers were all a little overwhelmed and were full of confusion about the current situation.
Under this circumstance, the two sides launched a large-scale naval battle. With the fleets of the two corps of the Mo country, the strength of the Feng navy can be said to have been greatly improved. On the other hand, the Mo army didn't even understand the situation and was completely stunned.
But even so, the Feng Kingdom Navy did not gain any advantage in the battle between the two navies. Although it was the Zhenjiang Navy that escaped in the end, the number of damaged ships on both sides was similar. This was thanks to Tang Yin, Jiang Fan, Cheng Jin and the dark arrow personnel who fought desperately, relying on shadow drifting to flash to the enemy's ships from time to time, killing and wounding the enemy with face-to-face close combat and disrupting the enemy formation. Otherwise, the Feng Kingdom Navy might still be the one to flee in the end.
Taking advantage of the gap when the Zhenjiang Navy escaped, Tang Yin immediately issued an order, and his fleet went to the other side to pick up the remaining soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army to cross the river.
There were 100,000 soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army left by Tang Yin, and only 30,000 followed the fleet to fight, and more than 60,000 soldiers stayed in the camp!
The main generals headed by Tang Yin did not leave the south bank, and took a ship back to the Zhenjiang Navy camp, commanding the soldiers to continue to speed up the deployment of time and prepare for the next round of counterattacks by the Mo Army.
Tang Yin and others understood that the first round of counterattack by the Mo army was just an impulsive act, and the real fierce counterattack would be the next one.
They were right. Gao Hang rode a fast horse back to Zhenjiang, asked to see Shao Fang overnight, and told Shao Fang the bad news that the Zhenjiang Navy Camp had fallen.
Shao Fang was also shocked when he heard the news that the Zhenjiang Navy Camp had fallen. So, the Feng army had already reached the south bank and might launch an attack on the capital at will. How could this be possible?
But now is not the time to pursue responsibility, Shao Fang asked directly: "How does General Gao plan to deal with it?"
"Zhenjiang Naval Camp is the top priority for our country to resist the enemy. It must not be lost and must be recaptured immediately. I plan to borrow 200,000 central troops from the king and am willing to guarantee with my head that I will recapture Zhenjiang Naval Camp!"
Gao Hang was not sure whether he could recapture Zhenjiang Naval Camp, but as the commander of the navy, he had to take responsibility for losing the navy's base camp.
Shao Fang thought about it carefully and did not agree, but ordered the attendants around him to summon General Li Jin to the palace immediately.
Gao Hang is the commander of the navy and can fight a strong naval battle, but it does not mean that he will definitely fight a land battle. If he wants to recapture Zhenjiang Naval Camp, considering the current talent shortage in Mo State, Shao Fang can only entrust Li Jin with an important task.
