- The fire is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost burning the sky.
Du Fuwei let people drive the siege ship and directly blocked the gate of the water camp. At this time, under the double blow of fire and water flow, the siege ship could no longer hold up, and the entire hull began to crack from the middle.
Du Fuwei on the ship also knew that things had reached this point. They had done everything they could, and if they stayed on the ship, their sacrifice would be in vain, so he ordered to abandon the ship and escape along the waterway.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The Chu army relied entirely on ships for transportation, so there were too many ships in the water camp. Starting from the gate of the water camp, fires connected the warships, one after another, and the entire water camp became a sea of ??fire.
" Moreover, the Chu army's water camp and land camp were connected, and there was no interruption in between, so the fire burned from the water to the shore effortlessly.
Soon the entire Chu army¡¯s camp was engulfed in flames.
The entire Chu army camp was in disarray and chaos, and the entire battlefield also collapsed.
The chaos in the Chu army camp caused an avalanche, and the entire main battlefield began to become chaotic.
Seeing the Chu army in chaos, Kan Leng, who was located at the south gate, took advantage of this opportunity and immediately rushed out from the south gate and went straight to the center of the Chu army.
Kan Leng had more than a hundred cavalry. Although there were not many of them, the Chu army had no cavalry to stop them. So Kan Leng charged all the way, advancing left and right, destroying the enemy's front in succession, until he was only a few dozen steps away from Lin Shihong.
If Lin Shihong's soldiers hadn't tried their best to stop him, Lin Shihong would have almost asked Kan Leng to "challenge him with one horse".
Seeing that he could not kill Lin Shihong, Kan Leng shouted loudly in front of the battle: "Lin Shihong, you weakling, how dare you fight me!"
The sound of Kan Leng was like a loud bell. On the huge battlefield, the sound of the formation echoed back and forth. Lin Shihong felt his teeth itching with hatred when he saw Kan Leng showing off his power.
But Kan Leng's martial prowess also shocked everyone, so everyone was in awe, and no one dared to step forward to fight.
Lin Shihong was also full of frustration, it was really embarrassing.
Fortunately, Lin Shihong's general Liao Ling led his troops from Wankou to come to support, and happened to encounter this great rout, which saved the fate of the Chu army.
强牺 tianlaixsw.com 读牺。 Liao Ling is a rare person in the Chu army He is one of the six generals under Lin Shihong along with Tang Ye, Li Qiang, Lin Zhen, Lin Yaoshi, and Cao Tiancheng. He also made great contributions in the Battle of Penglize.
Liao Ling was stationed in Wankou before, but Lin Shihong was defeated repeatedly in battles, so he had no choice but to send troops to Liao Ling to support him.
Seeing that the main force was defeated at this time, Liao Ling immediately led his army to block Kan Leng, and at the same time sent troops to meet the Chu army retreating from the west and east gate.
These more than 10,000 troops directly isolated the Chu army from Huaining City. The Chu army fled backward crazily, while the Sui army ran into this strong soldier.
Kan Leng saw that the Chu army had strong reinforcements coming, and knew that he had lost the chance to defeat the enemy. The Sui army fought for a day, and the opponent was full of vigor. If they continued to fight at this time, they would be short-term and long-term, so Kan Leng had to order a retreat.
And Huang Weilie, Du Fuwei and others had no choice but to order their troops to guard the city gates and clean up the mess.
This battle ended in an anticlimactic manner, so it was over.
It¡¯s a pity that a battle that could make Du Fuwei and Kan Leng famous all over the world was over. Without the supporting troops like Liao Ling, Lin Shihong's main force would probably have to be handed over here.
After the war, the Chu army was defeated for five miles before re-camping. This battle made Lin Shihong lose both dignity and face. Not to mention that Kan Leng was killed in front of him, and he himself suffered humiliation and almost became a prisoner. Just one fire burned more than two-thirds of the Chu army's ships, all six siege ships were destroyed, and the entire water camp was completely destroyed.
As for the land camp, it was slightly better, but 70% of the tents, 50% of the food, and 40% of the remaining material reserves were all destroyed in the fire.
" Moreover, the Chu army lost no less than 20,000 people in this battle. The remaining army was also in chaos, and its morale was greatly damaged. It would take a long time to regain its combat effectiveness.
The war has reached this level and it can no longer be fought.
The generals also persuaded Lin Shihong to retreat and return to Yuzhang.
But Lin Shihong had the attitude of not looking back even after hitting the southern wall. This time he would not listen to anyone and had to break through Huaining City.
For this reason, he ordered Lin Zhen, the general who stayed in Yuzhang, to come to Huaining with 30,000 troops to support him.
Many people think Lin Shihong is a little crazy.
Lin Shihong¡¯s 200,000 troops may seem like a lot, but in fact they are completely the product of militarism, and they are still false. To put it simply, there are seven counties and twenty-four counties in Jiangxi, with a total of 86,000 households in Daye Four Years. Of course, this data must be concealed, but overall it will not exceed 100,000 households.
Even if the chaos in Jiangxi is not serious and the people's losses are not much, it is impossible to send 200,000 troops.
Lin Shihong's actual military strength was about 120,000 to 30,000. Including the more than 10,000 troops brought by Zhang Shan'an, the Sui army that Lin Shihong later recruited and surrendered, and various private troops who took refuge, the total number would not exceed 16 at most. Thousands of people.
Lin Shihong brought 90,000 troops to the north this time. His younger brother, Lin Yaoshi, led more than 10,000 troops through the Lingnan area. After excluding the troops and horses stationed in various places, the 30,000 troops in Lin Zhen's hands were the last 30,000 troops of the Chu army. . Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and they are not fully staffed.
If these 30,000 people are transferred here, the seven counties of Jiangzhou will become empty shells.
In the end, Sikong Wangrong persuaded Lin Shihong to give up the idea, but Lin Shihong still did not give up his plan to attack Huaining City.
"We will never retreat unless we defeat Huaining."
Logically speaking, if Lin Shihong could grow from a small person to a powerful figure, he would not make such a low-level mistake. It is not that he could not see the consequences of fighting with the Sui army.
¡°But as the emperor, Lin Shihong could not only consider the military aspect when considering the problem. He must consider the overall situation.
This time z. c om Zhang Si. Zhida z.com Zhixiao. Although the power of the entire Chu State is in the hands of the Lin family, it does not mean that the Cao family has no power to resist. To be honest, Lin Shihong was able to become the leader of the rebel army after Cao Shiqi's death. In addition to his own strength and prestige, it was also because the rebel army was about to be destroyed and Cao's family was afraid, so they gave up the position to him.
But now that they have overcome the crisis, he has become the emperor, with great glory. Cao's family did not consider the hardships he went through when he was in danger. They believed that he had monopolized the fruits of Cao's family's victory and hoped to take it back.
The strength of the entire Cao family is not weak. Among the six generals, except for his two younger brothers, Tang Ye and Li Qiang have a good relationship with Cao Tiancheng. Especially Li Qiang, who is Cao Shiqi's sworn brother and supports the Cao family even more.
Lin Shihong went north to Huaibei in the hope of diluting the Cao family's strength within the Chu State by occupying the Jianghuai River. If he was defeated like this and returned to Yuzhang in embarrassment, he might have to face Cao Tiancheng's group to attack.
Lin Shihong was unwilling to accept this result, so he had to win
