Lord of the House: Chapter 41 Shouyangxin

(The first update, ask for a red ticket, this update is a bit late, I am guilty, hit me with a red ticket)

Donglu entered Yangxin, Bincheng, and Bohai with as many as five or six hundred outpost cavalrymen, dozens of cavalry and dozens of cavalry scattered everywhere. , Yangxin withdrew his troops, and they gathered again to surround the city of Yangxin.

The scouts in the city could not be let out, and the scouts outside the city could not come in either. Except for the observation of the surrounding enemies at the watchtower at the top of the city, detailed information outside the city could no longer be obtained. Until the evening of the 21st, the agreed wolf smoke ignited in the direction of Zhulong Bay, and Lin Fu knew that Zhou Pu was leading Jiangdong Zuo army infantry to arrive at Zhulong Bay by sea boat.

In the first battle of Jinhai, nearly 1,400 heads were obtained. The seriously injured were not treated in time, and it was difficult to survive in the cold wilderness. The final number of killed enemies should be about double the number of owl heads. The Ministry of War will also recognize this kind of military merit calculation. Even if it is exaggerated, there is no problem at all. Similarly, the Jiangdong Zuo Army and the Jinzhong Army also suffered heavy casualties.

The Jiangdong Zuo Army had not many direct casualties, only over 130 people, even fewer than the direct casualties during the Cangnan Victory.

This is the case. If you are truly fearless and go into battle, you are not likely to be fatally injured. The vast majority of Donglu cavalry were light cavalry, and in addition to riding bows, they mainly slashed with swords. Jiangdong Zuojun Mo Dao soldiers wear group armor, and most of the other infantrymen wear armor, in addition to defending the shooting of the bow, it can also effectively resist the slashing of the scimitar.

Even if it is an ordinary serious injury, with the existing medical and rescue conditions of Jiangdong Zuojun, his life is basically saved.

It's just that the wounded need time to recuperate. Counting the wounded who could not be put into battle immediately, the Jinhai victory also reduced the Jiangdong Zuo Army's combat personnel by nearly 30%.

A large number of wounded were transferred to the ship for treatment. When the news of the fall of Jinan was received and Yangxin was rushed from Jinhai, the Jiangdong Left Army could mobilize only a little more than 2,200 troops.

Lin Fu pulled out all the more than 600 cavalrymen of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, and Zhou Tong led the Jinzhong cavalry to follow, barely gathering enough cavalry to rush to Yangxin by land.

Subsequent Jiangdong Left Army rest time can be slightly more sufficient, and additional soldiers can be urgently/repatriated from township soldiers. In order not to greatly affect the combat capability of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, they only added more than 400 Jianyong soldiers from Cangnan and Jinhai townships in a ratio of four to one. After deducting the troops who stayed with Cao Ziang to defend Jinhai, Zhou Pu was able to bring out only 1,450 troops.

The elite that Lin Bie can call in Yangxin is only 2,450 people.

In comparison, after the Donglu captured Jinan, considering the addition of the rebels and the casualties of the assault on Jinan, the troops on the southern front would also be more than 40,000, and in Shandong, apart from the two that could be called by Lin Bie. Outside of the 1,400 or 500 elites and the more than 10,000-strong army in Dengzhou, there was no army that could be seen at all.

The situation is really bad to the extreme. In addition to time being a favorable factor, it is expected that the envoys sent by the Ministry of War to Zhongzhou can effectively restrain the various Luqin Wang divisions assembled in Zhongzhou to form pressure on the main force of the east and south line.

Lin Bie held the saber in his hand and climbed to the west gate tower. From his harsh perspective, Yangxin City's city walls and gate towers were not particularly strong in defense, but they were more than enough to deal with the Donglu cavalry, whose siege ability was even weaker. Maybe Donglu will disperse the rebels to attack the city, Lin Fu thought to himself.

Lin Fu now knows more details about the fall of Jinan City. After the Linqing defender was destroyed in Dezhou City, he did not dare to fight. He fled and was afraid that he would settle accounts with Qiuhou. When attacking Jinan, Donglu drove Linqing rebels to attack the city. These rebels did not have the courage to resist the Donglu cavalry when they were defending the city, but they were very hardworking when they attacked Jinan.

At this time, Lin Fu was worried that Zhao Jinlong, the deputy general of the two Zhejiang Qin Wang divisions, would choose to surrender to the Donglu when he understood it, which provided the Donglu with another 6,000 troops to attack the city.

Lin Bie held the handle of the knife in his hand, his knuckles were stretched blue, and the hatred in his heart was unbearable. This great river and mountain was turned into a quagmire for these snakes and rats.

If we look into it carefully, the Chu Party should bear most of the responsibility for this rotten situation. In the early stage, it vigorously advocated for peace, so that the imperial court did not send envoys and governors under the unified command of King Tianqin to fight against the invaders and Donglu, and condoned Hao Zongcheng to bury the soldiers of Jinzhong. 20,000 elites made the situation completely rotten.

Although the Chu Party can use the Jiangdong Zuo Army as a fig leaf, it cannot hide from the eyes of truly insightful people. Although Lin Fu is a member of the Chu Party, he is also indescribably bored by the actions of the Chu Party.

Lin Fu looked far into the distance, and his field of vision was full of Donglu sentries wandering around in the wilderness outside the city.

However, after the elites of the Jiangdong Left Army were incorporated into the Chengtou defenders, the outpost of the prisoners no longer dared to play the trick of using shields to cover the archers approaching the city and shooting the defenders from the crevice. This set can't be used on the Jiangdong Zuojun at all. The strong crossbow on the wall can shoot through the light shield at close range, and the provocation of the prisoners' outposts dare to come down to the city wall, but it is free to provide moving targets for Jiangdong Zuojun soldiers to practice archery.

Jiangdong Zuojun did not have much experience in defending the city. Lin Fu would take the time to gather all the sentry generals and **** chiefs in the past two days, and urgently trained the tactics of defending the city. At this moment, the **** chiefs of all the capitals returned to the city head to gather the banner heads below and the fighting backbones in the squad to explain the main points of the city defense battle.

Most of the pawns were illiterate, and the method of defending the city was very simple, but it was better than nothing. When Lin Fu asked Ao Canghai and Zhou Tong to patrol the cities, they had to teach the generals as detailed as possible what they should pay attention to when defending the city.

Ao Canghai was accustomed to this way, but Zhou Tong was surprised, where did the generals talk so much nonsense with the flag leaders below and even ordinary soldiers? However, the Jinhai victory also made Zhou Tong see the powerful combat power of the Jiangdong Left Army. As long as Lin Fu's request was not very confusing and Zhou Tong did not question it, he would do as he ordered.

There are more than 2,000 defenders in Yangxin, and Lin Fu does not need so many people to defend the city. He only selects 800 people to fight with the Jiangdong Zuo Army to defend the city. It is the Jiangdong Zuo Army. Soldiers and Zhou Tong led three hundred Jinzhong elite cavalry to prepare for maneuver in the city, and when they actually went to the city wall to strengthen their defense, only eight people were still not satisfied with the formed capital team.

Most of the Yangxin defenders were organized into auxiliary soldiers, and it was necessary to pull them up to the city. For the time being, according to Lin Bing's request, they demolished houses in the city, and collected as many bricks, stones, beams and pillars as possible and transported them to the city wall for use.

The defense of Yangxin City is relatively simple. Except for the subsection of the city gate, which is a brick wall, the rest are rammed earth walls.

At this time, Lin Fu and Ao Canghai were wandering around the city wall, carefully checking to see if the city wall was weak and needed to be strengthened.

At this time, there is no way to strengthen the defense outside the city wall, and can only use more brains inside the city wall.

Seeing county lieutenant Cheng Weiyuan coming over, Lin Fu called him over and said, "The four gates are relatively thin, so they can easily be knocked open..."

"I also thought about this question," Cheng Weiyuan said, "is it filling the city gate from the inside to completely block it?"

"This is not the best way," Lin Fu said, sealing himself in the city, which is quite beneficial for a simple weak soldier to defend the city, but he came here, in addition to defending Yangxin, he also hoped to do as much as possible. The main force of the southern line of Donglu was restrained and turned to eastern Shandong. Naturally, he could not completely seal himself in the city and lose the ability to take the initiative to attack. Lin Bie picked up a piece of blue brick and drew a pattern on the city wall brick for Cheng Weiyuan to see. "Look at this, can you organize people to build a thick brick wall parallel to the city gates on the inside of the four city gates to seal off the streets entering the city, but leave narrow openings on both sides for the soldiers and horses to pass through. , it is limited to two horses passing in parallel. In this case, even if the city gate is smashed from the outside and blocked by this wall, the enemy soldiers will not be able to flow in quickly, providing conditions for us to counterattack. Of course, both sides also We need to clear the empty space to pile up the masonry and soil blocking the gates of the city..."

Lin Xu and Cheng Weiyuan talked about many places in the city that could be strengthened to improve the defense. At this moment, the whistle in the southwest corner rang three times. He, Ao Canghai and Cheng Weiyuan walked to the crenel of the city wall. There was no change in the cavalry near the city. .

There is a low **** about three or four miles away on the west side. The low **** is not high, but it is enough to block the view of the city head and form a blind spot. This is the most unfavorable place for Yangxin to defend the city. Standing at the front of the city, it is impossible to see what the enemy soldiers are doing behind the low slope.

Lin Fu also made Zhou Tong lead three hundred Jinzhong elite cavalry to attack and reconnaissance twice~www.mtlnovel.com~ to confirm that the main force of the Eastern captives has not come yet.

There were four or five groups of cavalry scattered on the low slope, and there were more than a hundred people. They were only responsible for monitoring Yangxin. When Yangxin did not send troops, they dismounted and let the horses arch the snow away and eat the green wheat seedlings on the slope. At this time, they saw them riding their horses together to the top of the slope. It seemed that something happened on the side of the low slope, but Lin Fu and the others couldn't see it at the top of the city.

Lin Bie frowned and stared over there. There were a large number of enemy horses on both sides of the low **** that could not be blocked. Cheng Weiyuan said, "Could it be that the main force of the siege of the captured soldiers came over?"

"No," Lin Fu shook his head, "Donglu shouldn't have any more thoughts of attacking Yangxin. The main force has not been organized and will not rush here—"

"The cavalry will not march forward, and the formation formed is still guarding the back of the hillside..." Ao Canghai judged.

"It's the defender who broke through in Jinan," Lin Fu vaguely heard the sound of soldiers fighting in the wind, and immediately ordered Ao Canghai, "You send someone to call Colonel Zhou, and ask for the soldiers in Jin. Be prepared to attack, and you also go down and prepare to go out of the city..."

Cheng Weiyuan was a little worried. Looking at the sentries outside the city, they all gathered in the west city at this time, obviously to prevent the defenders in the city from going out to meet up. Besides, I don't know how many soldiers and horses broke out from Jinan, how many prisoners and cavalry were chasing, and the mobile troops that could be mobilized in the city were only 300 cavalry led by Zhou Tong and 200 soldiers led by Ao Canghai. If people are accidentally damaged outside the city, it will be difficult to defend the city.

Cheng Weiyuan wanted to persuade Lin Fu to be more careful, but seeing his brows gazing at the hillside resolutely, he thought that if Lin Fu was a cautious person who only thought about himself, he would not have rushed to help Yangxin from Jinhai, which is more than 300 miles away. , then restrained himself and said nothing.
