The fourth year of Tianyuan, the first day of the first lunar month.
Stars dotted in the night sky.
It was dark and the river was even more silent.
The water level is calm, there are no big waves, only a little ups and downs.
There is still a vague gray mist on the surface of the river.
Quarry Ferry.
The soldiers at the ferry guards stood lazily in several corners, lowering their heads, some yawning, and some were already asleep and could still hear some desolate sounds inside the camp.
The Chen State suffered years of defeat and unrest, and all the old soldiers and officers among the generals were exhausted.
After the old soldiers were consumed, the combat effectiveness of the entire army began to decline rapidly, no longer at the same level as the north.
A large number of middle and lower-level officers were consumed, which caused more dangerous consequences, and a large number of insects occupied the position of officers.
For example, this quarry ferry.
Many of the officers here come to train. They don’t train the army here. They usually use blackmail ships to exchange ships. At the other time, they get some dancers and singers to have fun in the camp.
The rest of the time is fine. Once you encounter a festival, you must have to eat wine together and eat so much that you can get drunk.
It is the first day of the first lunar month of the fourth year. People from all over the world are celebrating the Yuan Festival and celebrating the festival.
The soldiers here were no exception. The officers ate a lot of wine and secretly invited some dancers to have fun.
There were only a few soldiers standing guard. While everyone in the camp was having fun, they couldn't be enthusiastic about their errands, and they were very negative.
The mist in the distance was torn apart.
I saw a struggled beast's head drilling out of the fog.
It looked like a tiger carved from wood, with wide eyes wide open and out of the fog.
The ferry is still quiet and no one notices it.
After this beast, four ferocious beasts appeared one after another. They tore open the fog and sailed towards the ferry at an astonishing speed.
After sailing for a long time, they finally exposed their bodies. These were five medium-sized clutches. Under the protection of the night, they were approaching the ferry quickly.
"who?!"
A soldier suddenly woke up and raised his head, but happened to see the warship coming from the opposite side.
The soldier was froze directly in place. He had never encountered such a situation and had no idea how to deal with it.
After a few breaths, he suddenly reacted and began to shout, "Enemy attack!!"
His shouts woke everyone around him.
They looked at the river and saw the warship that was getting closer and closer to them. They were instantly panicked and began to inform them everywhere.
There was a noise outside the camp, and soon there was a noise inside.
I saw drunk soldiers rushing out of the house, dressed in disheveled clothes, some raised torches, some insulted loudly, and some screamed and fled.
The scene was in chaos.
Han Qinhu jumped off the warship suddenly and jumped into shallow water, which shocked a wave. He wore armor and stomach, holding a short soldier, and quickly looked at the soldiers on both sides, "Brothers!! Come with me to kill!!"
He took the lead in rushing to the enemy's camp. Several soldiers wanted to intercept him, but he killed him one by one.
Behind him, soldiers rushed up continuously, with more and more, with a total of more than 500 people.
These people are all good men in the army, tall and amazing fighting spirit.
Han Qinhu took the lead. Han Qinhu was originally named Han Qinbao. It is said that when he was young, he killed a tiger and changed its name to Han Qinhu.
Han Qinhu rushed into the enemy, and he was really like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. He slashed left and right, with his movements capable, and no move was unnecessary. He hit the key points with one move, and he had already reached the door, and the soldiers couldn't keep up with him.
When Han Qinhu entered the camp, he was covered in blood, like a bloody man, and his weapon had been replaced several times.
He glared, exactly like the tiger that had broken through the fog just now, "The surrendered ones will not be killed!"
Han Qinhu shouted loudly in his entire Southern dialect.
The soldiers standing in front of him did not hesitate at all. They threw away their weapons and knelt on the ground.
As the soldiers behind him rushed over, the local soldiers either fled or surrendered.
Han Qinhu was like he was tireless and did not ride a horse. He just walked in the enemy's camp and killed several rounds.
Finally, there were no more enemies standing in the entire camp.
Han Qinhu wiped the blood from his face when he pressed his weapon.
"It makes people ignite!!"
The soldiers immediately began to act and began to deploy around them. After a moment, a sky-high fire appeared at the Quarry Ferry, illuminating the riverside.
The fog was illuminated by the fire, and after a moment, a huge giant ship tore open the fog and rushed out. After the giant ship, there were countless warships. They swept through the entire visible range and began to gather at the ferry.
When the warships docked, a large number of soldiers quickly walked down from the warships.
Gao Yanzong was wearing heavy armor and was commanding the army to gather on the ground, and even war horses were transported.
And in the distance, there was also a sound of pole shooting, and the warships on both sides seemed to have begun to fight.
Gao Yanzong looked at Han Qinhu standing aside, but he didn't even bother to ask for his merits.
"The general leads people to capture Wuhu, and I will attack Gusu quickly!"
"only!!"
Both sides immediately led their troops and once again led their troops.
The war officially began.
In this battle, the Han army sent a total of about 280,000 troops, with Wang Lin and Gao Changgong as commanders, and sent troops from two directions.
Wang Lin led the army to attack Nanxuzhou directly.
Gao Changgong led the army to attack Bazhou.
On the long front from Nan Xuzhou to Bazhou, there were Han generals responsible for the attack everywhere, and they each had their own goals.
The Han army decided to launch a general attack in Yuanshuo, that is, on the night of the Chinese New Year.
This day was the lazy time in the entire Chen State. From the emperor to the general, to the local people, everyone was busy celebrating the festival. No one would have thought that the Han army launched a general attack on this day.
Gao Yanzong and Han Qinhu were the first to capture Caishidu. At the same time, Wang Lin led a large army to attack Nanxuzhou.
Before this, Wang Lin kept releasing news to the public, saying that her condition was getting worse and worse, and she seemed to be unable to survive this month.
He ordered Chunyuliang to dock in the direction of Nanxuzhou with some broken ships to confuse the enemy.
Before the Chinese New Year, Wang Lin led the entire eastern Han Dynasty to suddenly appear near Guangling.
By the night of this day, Wang Lin's army began to cross the river.
Nanxuzhou is different from Caishidu. Although it is also celebrating festivals, its defense must be several levels higher. There are more than 10,000 troops here. Although there are not many, this is already a large number in Chen State. Moreover, there are still a large number of warships on the other side.
The enemy's naval army near Nanxuzhou was the most powerful navy, with five giant ships and countless medium and large warships.
In Nanxuzhou, the lights are brightly lit.
There were laughter and joy in several camps outside the city.
This is even more true in the city. In the official office, Governor Huang was following many officials to have a drink.
The officials were covered in oily food, with big belly, but tears were shining in their eyes.
"Dear colleagues!"
"The people in all over the world are celebrating the New Year. Even those who are digging food in the fields can gather with their families and celebrate the festival..."
"But we can't do that."
"Families are far apart and it is difficult to relieve the pain of longing for love. How much is it for us?"
He blew a drink and continued, "But it is because of our suffering that the people can live a good Yuanhui? And the people of Xuzhou can stay at home with peace of mind and eat and drink without worrying about it. Isn't this all the merits of the envoy?"
"The envoy sacrificed too much for the people of Xuzhou and for us...\n.\n"
He wiped his tears and stood up to toast and thank the governor again.
Everyone was also quite moved and stood up one after another.
Because officials could not be officials in their hometowns, Chen State established a relatively strict supervision system during the reign of Emperor Wen, mainly to detain the home books of officials and generals in key areas to prevent them from rebelling.
This cannot be blamed on Emperor Wen, mainly because the State of Chen was originally a mess.
Even Chen Baxian can't say that he has completed the unification of the south.
When he died, there were many separatist princes in the south like Lao Wang.
Even Lao Wang himself was defeated only when Emperor Wen was Emperor Wen.
The banquet was very lively, with musicians playing and dancers accompanying them, and officials in Nanxuzhou ate cheese and were drunk.
Just as I was laughing, the door was suddenly knocked open.
When they saw a soldier rushing into the lobby, the cold wind outside also entered, and the officials were furious.
Governor Huang looked at him coldly and was about to question him, the soldier trembled and said, "Not good! Governor Gong!!
The enemy attacks! The enemy attacks!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked, and some officials even overturned the wooden case in front of them.
The governor Huang Ke stood up in shock and asked, "Where is the enemy attack?"
"The Han army, like Wang Lin's army, has now fought with our army."
Huang Ke looked dissatisfied, "No! No! Didn't Wang Lin die of illness?"
"Are you...
?
Huang Ke had no talent at first, and was extremely panicked at this moment and didn't know how to deal with it. The officials around him hurriedly said, "Don't worry, yes! Wang Lin couldn't be here. Even if he came, he would never defeat our army with his warships!"
"This is a merit given to us by God. Please lead the troops to attack and capture Wang Lin alive!"
The official said to see, but he didn't forget to blink.
It is obvious that he did not believe in any news that Wang Lin was invading, but they could have had the last battle of "Defeat Wang Lin". Regardless of whether the battle was true or false, it would be fine to tell the court that he had defeated Wang Lin.
Huang Ke finally calmed down. Chen's naval army was spread across the long defense line of the river. The most important bridgehead in Nanxuzhou, and the elite naval army were all here, and they were giant ships. Who could beat them?
Huang Ke lifted his belt, and then ordered the officials to go out with him to capture Wang Lin alive.
Officials walked out of the official office one after another.
They led the soldiers stationed in the city and began to quickly rush to the riverside.
Walking on the road, the official was still whispering to Huang Ke about this hard-won opportunity.
"The enemy definitely has no ability to attack. I think it is Chunyuliang who wants to borrow Wang Lin's reputation and attack while we are in the New Year. If we can repel them this time, the envoy will be in front of His Majesty, but.........."
Huang Ke was overjoyed.
He spoke, "If you can be valued by Your Majesty this time, you will never forget your contribution.
The two began to imagine how they would defeat the enemy and make a name for themselves.
When they led the army to the riverside, the sky had already begun to brighten.
On the river surface, hundreds of warships are gathering together.
Among them were huge giant ships, snatching wooden poles high and slapped each other. Then they saw many fragments of warships floating on the river surface, and many corpses, blood flowing into the river water, quickly swallowing, and no scarlet redness appeared.
But the smell of blood floated all the way to the shore.
The two sides fought very anxiously, and Chen Guo still made a good counterattack when he was attacked.
But.
Huang Ke was cold all over and froze in place.
Through the fire, he saw the battle situation in the distance.
His lips trembled and he looked at the officials beside him.
"Han Kingdom.::.Where do so many warships come from???"
In the army fighting on the river, the Han warships actually gained an advantage!!
Even if there are four giant ships, there are countless golden-winged warships, all of which are attacking with all their might. The battle situation seems chaotic. In fact, the Han army's warships have always been in a row. In the dark, they can still line up.
In every place, you can see the Han army's warships beating the Chen army's warships.
The formation they set up is called a double sword formation, with giant ships starting at both ends, cutting the battlefield, then closing inward and killing directly!
If it is said that the gap between a large number of middle and upper-level generals can be arranged under the night, then the gap between the head coaches can be arranged at any time and easily tear up the enemy's formation.
Here, the commander of the Southern Xuzhou Navy was named Tian. He was a very young general. In the past, he served as deputy general for Xu Du. This was his first time as commander of the army.
And he was very lucky. He met Wang Lin the first time he became the commander.
The young general stood at the bow of the ship, shouting loudly, looking at the army around him in despair, and he kept commanding,
But his judgment was all within Wang Lin's predictions, and he was beaten everywhere. The warships never played a role and were surrounded by the enemy and attacked him.
In Wang Lin's eyes, his operations were nowhere to hide. He could see them at a glance and even make predictions a few steps in advance.
Huang Ke is a man who doesn't know much about military affairs, but when he sees everything that is happening in front of him, he has completely lost his fighting spirit.
"withdraw!!"
The reinforcements had just arrived and left quickly.
The desperate young general looked at the warships that were gradually surrounding him, and finally knelt on the bow of the ship in tears.
The Chen people had no idea why the enemy had so many warships, nor did they know why Wang Lin was here.
When the sun rose from the distant river surface and gradually enveloped Nanxuzhou, the river surface was full of wreckage.
The wreckage of warships and the unyielding fighters are here.
The Han army had completed its landing. The Han country still needed a little operation on the water to defeat the enemy, but on land, Wang Lin didn't need to command too much, just give them an attack order.
Governor Huang Ke surrendered and Nan Xuzhou went down without a fight.
When Wang Lin took over Nan Xuzhou, Gao Changgong was still attacking Bazhou.
The navy here of Gao Changgong was obviously not as good as Wang Lin, and what he encountered were the more powerful Xu Jingcheng, Lu Sida and others.
When he launched the attack, the enemy was not drunk, but was always careful and the two sides fought fiercely.
Gao Changgong sent several generals from the devil to set out by land and continued southward.
There are always breakthroughs on land.
Just as the people of Chen were still immersed in the joy of the New Year and the ministers at the upper and lower levels were still thinking about walking around each other, news of the Han army coming suddenly spread.
A rebellion broke out along with it.
Before Yuan Xian could even get to the place, the barbarians started to make trouble halfway.
They gathered together, attacked defenders from all over the country, killed officials, and held high the flag of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Xian had just learned of the news of the large-scale attack by the enemy in the north, and before he could react, he heard the news of a rebellion breaking out in the south.
Yuan Xian hesitated for a moment, but rushed to the south again.
Yuan Xian actually understands military affairs and can fight.
There is no shortage of him in the north, but it is hard to say in the south.
When Yuan Xian arrived at the place, the south of Chen State was in chaos. Not only the barbarians who had rebelled, but also many large clans colluded with them and simply raised the banner of the Han State and rebelled together. There were even cases where the Han clans led the rebellious barbarians to attack the Chen State's government.
But the rebellion in the south could not cause much storm in Jiankang.
Because the deadliest enemy is already in front of you.
When Wang Lin captured Nan Xuzhou and Gao Yanzong captured Gusu, Han Qinhu took Caishidu and Wuhudu passed away to Jiankang, Jiankang was instantly in an uproar.
The ministers who were celebrating were no longer in the mood, and the emperor urgently summoned the ministers to discuss the war.
These ministers who were often talking and citing classics and chanting that the Chen naval army was invincible and that the Northern Hu was unable to move south within 20 years were shrunk their heads and said nothing.
Only Chen Xiang was anxious.
Chen Xiang knew that the Han Congress came to invade, but he didn't expect that it would come so quickly, and he even attacked during the Chinese New Year.
How shameless!!
It's indeed an authentic Hu man!!
Come here to fight and kill people at this time, you are unvirtuous!! Tyrant!!
But now it is useless to curse or say it. The river water defense line in Jiangbei is as weak as a piece of paper. This is why Huang Fa would rather die than save Jiangbei. Once Jiangbei is gone, the enemy can only complete the attack in one night. Such a long front line cannot be connected with iron ropes, and it is even more impossible to cover it with warships.
"Wang Lin and Gao Yanzong came from two directions! What are your strategies to retreat to the enemy?!"
"His Majesty!!"
Chapter completed!
