Chapter 695： Battle of Jiangnan!

In the Jiangnan crisis, Jiangnan was in a precarious situation overnight, and everyone in the Jinling court was in a state of extreme fear.

Prime Minister Lu Shanchang suggested to Emperor Xinde that he should be able to take charge of the dynasty at a time of crisis in the society. Emperor Xinde shied his illness and needed recuperation and rest. For a while, the court was even more surprised.

Then Yushitai supervised Emperor Yushi Wang Tongqiu to write to Xinde, saying that the trouble in Jiangnan began when there were people collaborating with enemies in the south of the Yangtze River. The prime minister Duan Tanglin colluded with the king of Huainan and the king of Lingnan.

Emperor Xinde was furious, and ordered the Criminal Department to take Duan Tanglin into the prison. The next day Duan Tanglin was exiled to Mianzhou, where he was Sima in Mianzhou.

Then the forces of the Duan family in the court were completely purged, and the court in the south of the Yangtze River changed its color overnight. The forces that wanted to challenge Lu Zheng were hit hard, without the jump of the Duan family and the Zuo family. Hey, who would dare to challenge the dignity of the Lu Family in Jiangnan?

Taking advantage of this crisis, the Lu family cleaned up the court and eliminated all kinds of noises. The reason why Emperor Xin De cooperated with the Lu family was also a pressing situation, and he had to succumb.

After all, the Lu Family still has no rebellious heart. In comparison, Sun Chongwen of Huainan Road and Bai Jingzhong of Lingnan Road are already kings. Cao Weiming of Lianghe even regarded the royal family as slaves and humiliated Prince Dakang at every turn. This kind of stimulus to the royal family was too great for the emperor Xinde.

Now the safety of Jiangnan is related to Dakang’s last hope. Even if it is Emperor Xin De who is keen to play tricks, he has to put the treasure on Lu Zheng. After so many years, Lu Zheng has not let him down. This time he firmly believes in Lu. Zheng wouldn't let him down either.

Facing the pincer attack between the north and the south, Lu Zheng personally led his troops to respond to the enemy. The main force was on the front line of Chenzhou, which was two hundred miles away from the Huaihe River. He abandoned the natural dangers of the Huaihe River and defended himself on the front line of Chenzhou. After the Haohao Tangtang arrived at the Huaihe River, he was very cautious after crossing the river for a long time.

Hearing that Lu Zheng hadn’t fortified the opposite bank at all, he couldn’t help but ridicule and jumped confidently. He immediately organized a crossing and the army crossed the Huaihe River. The front was Qingma Ji, and the back of Qingma Ji was the Sky Cliff. The point.

Sun Chongwen sent his troops to Qingma Ji. His pioneer general was named Sima Mingda. Sima Da is Sun Chongwen's brother-in-law. He is young and unusually brave. He is a simple-minded general with well-developed limbs.

The general of the Jiangnan side was Zhao Yunlong. This person was originally from Lianghe. After Cao Weiming rebelled, most of the Zhao family members were killed. Lu Zheng took the initiative to save Zhao Yunlong as the Lu family’s family. This time he went on the expedition and he gave it to Zhao Wenlong. Partial general, let him lead three thousand people to deal with Sun Chongwen.

Zhao Yunlong rushed forward and led three thousand soldiers and horses and Sima Da to fight for one day. The two sides were inextricably killed. Sun Chongwen heard the battle ahead and immediately led the follow-up soldiers and horses to follow up.

Zhao Yunlong was defeated and quickly retreated. Sun Chongwen ordered Sima Da to chase him quickly. Sima Da was a brave and relentless master. This time he was a pioneer, and his mind was to do more for what he wanted, because Sun Chongwen promised him. It is said that after taking the capital, Sun Chongwen proclaimed the emperor ascended the throne, and then he will inevitably be the king of the opposite sex.

Calling Wang Fenghou is all about Guangzong and Yaozu. How can Sima Da not be excited about it? As a result, he tried his life bravely, chasing Zhao Yunlong to death, wishing to go directly to Jinling to give up.

From Qingmaji to the skyscraper, he immediately came to persuade Zhao Yunlong from the left and right to make him be careful. The sky is dangerous and he must guard against the enemy's ambush.

Sima Da ignored this and wanted to raise troops to pursue, but was stopped by Sun Chongwen's temporary marching army Sima. Sun Chongwen's counselor also suggested that there might be enemy ambushes on the Sky Cliff. The vanguard and the army had better move forward together, so that there would be no guarantee. Yu.

Sima Da’s heart was depressed. After a few hours, Sun Chongwen’s army rushed over from behind, and the army crossed the skyscraper together. In front of him was a Ma Pingchuan. Sima Da angrily ran into Sun Chongwen’s military tent. Noisy, he shouted:

"Which **** said that there was an ambush in the Sky Cliff? Shit ambush, Lao Tzu has already said that Lu Zheng has few soldiers in his hands, most of them have to keep guarding the capital, and there are no more than two soldiers and horses on hand. Ten thousand people!

Even if he set up an ambush with 20,000 people, it would be a dead end in Sky Cliff. Hey, you cowards, you have nothing to do with success, and you missed your chances! "

He paused, pointed his finger to the front, and said, "Look at the front. From here to Chenzhou, it's all Pingchuan. How does Lu Zheng set an ambush? How do you set an ambush?"

Sima Da's scolding made a gang of counsellors blushing and unable to speak. Sun Chongwen stood up and relieved the counselors: "Okay, Dazi, you can lead the army to the front to kill. The cavalry rushed up and took Chenzhou in one go. Capture Lu Zheng alive!"

He smiled coldly and said: "Lu Zheng, who is known as the world's number one talented man, is really hard to come by under his reputation. I will destroy Lu Zheng, this kid, and let the people of the world see the strength of our Huainan army, haha!"

Sun Chongwen was extremely proud. Chenzhou was right in front of him. The soldiers who had come to report to Lu Zheng were on the front line of Chenzhou. How many soldiers and horses did Lu Zheng still have? Look at your Huainan army, strong soldiers and strong horses!

Sima Da received the encouragement, and immediately ordered 30,000 soldiers to open the way in front of Chenzhou. At this time, it was already late, and he did not care about it. He ordered the cavalry to travel day and night, pointing to the army to come to Chenzhou in the morning.

When marching in the middle of the night, I suddenly heard the sound of "clap", Sima in the army leaned over and said: "General, I feel that the situation is a bit wrong, and it seems that I can smell the smell of soil. Is there an enemy in ambush?"

Sima Da slapped him and slapped the marching Sima directly off the horse, and said furiously: "Ignorant boy, dare to shake the heart of Lao Tzu's army, where can there be any ambush in this Ma Pingchuan place?"

Before his words fell silent, the soldiers in front of him screamed, only to hear someone yelling: "It's not good, it's not good, there is flooding in front!"

Sima Da was taken aback. He immediately wanted to ride the horse forward to see what was going on. He felt that the horse under his crotch would not listen to the greeting. He immediately lowered his head and saw that the water had flooded, almost flooding the horse's belly. He couldn't help but his expression changed drastically, and said, "Someone in front of you broke the embankment, go back, let's go back!"

Sima Ma led almost all cavalry this time. The flood came over, and the mount was more than half submerged in the water. If you want to escape, the water will inevitably be splashed.

There are countless people who fall from horses. Once they fall, they will be submerged by water. Even if they are water-permeable people, the world is full of horses and people, and most of them will be trampled to death by horses alive.

This scene broke Sima's nerves. He backed desperately, and kept retreating four or five miles away. The water gradually became shallow. When he looked around him, there were only a few rides left. For a while, he couldn't help being furious. Thinking of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suffered such a big defeat this time, he almost fell from the horse.

It was terrible, it was terrible. He stayed until dawn, and then looked at the official road in front of him and turned out to be Ze Guo, and the people drowning in Ze Guo looked over at a glance, shocking, people dare not look straight.

He immediately asked the Sima officer under his hand to count the escaped troops. After the three men and horses were counted, there were still 8,000 remnants left. This battle had not yet fought, and two-thirds of the soldiers were lost. I can't bear to look straight at defeat.

"Lu Zheng, kid, treacherous! What a...poof!" Sima Da vomited blood with anger. It turns out that although there is no dangerous place to guard the Jiangnan Plain, the Jiangnan water network is well-developed, but it is also full of traps.

This time Lu Zheng’s choice of hands-on land was the depression of the official road. He directly broke the Huai River embankment, and the big water poured into the depression in an instant. It was about a dozen miles long and four or five miles wide. It was a depression. After Zeguo, it looks like a vast green area, and such a large area is flooded. Not to mention 30,000 horses, even 100,000 horses together will inevitably be bad luck!

Sun Chongwen camped and rested at night, and had many beautiful dreams all night. He woke up in the morning and asked the scout about Chenzhou's situation, but suddenly heard the bad news that his brother-in-law was almost drowned. He overturned several cases in his account and was so angry. Jumping and yelling!

The counsellors stepped forward to persuade him, and he furiously said: "Sima Da, a foolish man, it's really a crime worthy of death, this king wants to ask him!"

Sun Chongwen waved his hand and looked around and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Immediately call in soldiers and we will go for help!"

Sun Chongwen was angry, and the army quickly drew out, rushed forward, and rushed to Chenzhou. Sun Chongwen was really angry. This time he took out all the power at the bottom of Huainan's pressure box. He wanted to do a big fight and wipe out Jiangnan! It's alright now, before the battle has started, the cavalry has been damaged first. These cavalry are all his family property that he has accumulated for more than ten years!

His heart was dripping blood, so he could not wait to urge the army to rush forward. The army walked for half a day, and suddenly heard a loud noise in front, then heard the sound of rushing water, and then another flood, flooding the army with countless numbers !

It turned out that Lu Zheng also prepared a trap on the way from the camp of Sun Chongwen to the flooding of Sima Da. He deliberately didn't cause it on the first day, but started to deal with Sima Da in the second trap. At that time, he considered the situation today.

When Sun Chongwen heard that Sima Da was flooded, he must have been eager to rescue. According to ordinary people's normal thinking, he would not have thought that there would be traps in the middle of the two armies. Lu Zheng used this blind spot of thinking to break the embankment in chaos. Sun Chongwen fell into the trap once again, because it was during the day, and the damage caused by flooding could not be compared with that at night, but this wave of flooding also caused Sun Chongwen to lose as many as seven or eight thousand people!

More importantly, the morale of Sun Chongwen's army was frustrated. Originally, they were all arrogant soldiers. After arriving in Jiangnan, they attacked Jinling in a concerted effort to establish immortal achievements!

It's all right now. Two successive floods have drowned two to three million horses. How many thousands are left in the so-called army of 100,000?

Another point is that the flood flooded the army, and at the same time the army was cut. Taking advantage of the cutting effort, several generals under Lu Zheng, Zhao Yunlong, Chen Lizhong, and Wang Wenbing led thousands of cavalry to descend from the sky and harvest. life. The cavalry on the plains is simply a slaughter machine.

In response to cavalry, infantry generally needs to ensure the formation of a complete formation, and a strict formation is needed to make up for the shortcomings. But now the army is flooded and the hearts of the people are scattered. After the army is cut, the command is not smooth. At this time, the cavalry descends from the sky again. This is simply a slaughter.

Sun Chongwen never dreamed that there would be such a powerful cavalry in the Nanfu Army. Facing the surging cavalry, he completely lost his fighting spirit, and only one thought was to escape!

The main commander fled, and the other soldiers still had a heart-to-heart battle. The Huainan Army was so defeated in this battle that it was simply unsightly.

Sun Chongwen retreated to the Sky Cliff before stopping the dispersal. He gathered the remaining remnants and found that only half of his 100,000 soldiers were not enough!

With just over 40,000 soldiers and horses, how can he fight Lu Zheng's cavalry on an endless plain? At this time, Sun Chongwen had become a bunny that was chased out. The invincible Huainan army horse had only been in Jiangnan for ten days before he was smashed to death.

In a panic, Sun Chongwen set up camp, and counselor Tang Xun suggested: "My lord, we'd better not change things for now. Let's rest for now!

The crisis in Jiangnan is not just our Huainan First Army. The 150,000 Lingnan army has also been forced from the south at this time. More importantly, the Shandong Liaodong iron cavalry has already moved south. When it comes to Xuzhou, it should be forced over soon. Jiangnan is now Let's hold on to a piece of fat, and then slowly figure it out, there is still a chance! "

Sun Chongwen sighed. At this moment, more than half of his ambitions have been worn away! When he sent troops from Huainan, how high his aspiration was at that time, his mind was to sweep Jiangnan and occupy the land of Jinling imperial atmosphere, so as to take the emperor and command the princes to put down all the anti-thief in Dakang and change the situation. Sex changes, his grandson will also be the master of the country!

However, now it has only been more than ten days, he has been drunk by this blow, and half of his accumulation of more than ten years has been ruined. He only knows that he has been sitting on Huainan Road in recent years. Lu Zheng, the number one talent in the world, can be so young. At his age, he became a powerful minister of Dakang, how can he be an ordinary and easy person to grasp the political and military affairs of Jiangnan?

In comparison, where is his Sun Chongwen opponent? I have to say that Sun Chongwen has now gone to another extreme. He was too confident before, but now he is like a frightened bird, completely losing the courage to compete in the world.

Of course, Sun Chongwen couldn’t hold on, and it was really the only way to set up camp and watch the changes. Lu Zheng asked the scouts to check around, and did not find a fighter, so he let Zhao Yunlong guard Chenzhou, and he himself led the troops south to fight against Bai in Ruzhou. Respect...
