    Chapter 2189 Defeating the enemy in the reed pond

    For Cheng Mingzhen, conquering a small Wangjiang City is really not worth mentioning, and it may not be more successful than Su Lie's attack on Wankou City. If he wants to overwhelm the opponent, he must make greater achievements, and even be the first in this battle.  achievement.

    If it were anyone else, this would be the time to plan the defense of Wangjiang City.  After all, as long as Wankou succeeds, the Chu army will retreat in a few days.  Wangjiang City is a small city in Tong'an County. Its armaments are lax, the city is in disrepair, and it doesn't have much defensive power.

    But Cheng Mingzhen was unwilling to defend Wangjiang City and wait for the Chu army to attack.

    If you want to achieve great success, you have to kill the generals and seize the flag, and you can't conquer the city first. What's the point of blocking it?

    In fact, Cheng Mingzhen was very wild. If it were not for the lack of troops in his hands, he would have dared to cross the Yangtze River, go south to Hukou, and sweep through all the counties in Jiangzhou.

    But despite this, Cheng Mingzhen also wanted to take the initiative and demoralize the Chu army first, so that the defensive battle would be easier to fight.

    Because Lianhuatang is the only way to go south to Wangjiang County, Cheng Minzhen set up an ambush in the reed swamps north and south of Lianhuatang in advance, waiting for the Chu army to take the bait.

    The development of the war went exactly as Cheng Mingzhen expected.

    First the fire started, and then the Chu army retreated. After they were immediately protected by the camp, the Sui army's cavalry could harvest leeks unscrupulously.

    Cheng Mingzhen beheaded the Chu army general Li Qiang. Of course, he did not know the identity of the other party. There was not much difference between this man and the cats and dogs he had killed in the past.

    But in the eyes of the Chu army, this matter was extremely terrifying.

    Tang Ye, Li Qiang, and Liao Ling are one of the three generals of the Chu army and have extremely high prestige.  Li Qiang's death was almost like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering Chu Jun's fragile heart.

    Soon the Chu army was in chaos.

    This time Cheng Minzhen led 800 cavalry, but these 800 cavalry were like messengers in the dark night, constantly harvesting the lives of the Chu army.

    The entire battlefield was in chaos, with Chu troops fleeing everywhere.

    Lin Shihong was behind, and when he heard the news that Li Qiang was killed in battle, he felt bad.

    The three generals of the Chu army, Liao Ling, died in the battle in Huaining City. Today, Li Qiang died in this unknown little place. It¡¯s really a shame for me.

    Lin Shihong even forgot about his conflict with Li Qiang. He was sad for Li Qiang's death, sad for the general's death, sad for the chaos in the army, and sad for his own fate.

    Wang Rong came to Lin Shihong and persuaded Lin Shihong to break out.

    Lin Shihong calmed down and ordered his general cousin Lin Zhongfu to take over the front army and organize a defense on the spot to block the Sui army.  Lin Shihong led the main force of the army to break through the encirclement south.

    Lin Shihong didn't know how many cavalrymen the Sui army had on the opposite side, nor did he know that there were no reinforcements yet, so he didn't dare to rush north, but only dared to go south.

    But going south is not easy.

    To the south is the lake belt. At this time, large areas of reeds in the lake and on the shore have been burned. The entire southwest and southeast are filled with seas of fire, and they are still spreading in all directions.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 120

    Wang Rong hurriedly grabbed him.

    "My lord, this fire is so big and burns so fast. Once it closes up, the entire army will be cut into two parts, and countless people will be burned!"

    Lin Shihong pulled away Wang Rong's hand and said sternly: "Even if we are burned to death now, we cannot be surrounded by the Sui army here. If we don't leave now, when the fire is completely burned, the Sui army's cavalry will drive us from north to south.  Our entire army will be wiped out."

    This time 75*zwz.c*om Zhang Si.  Lin Shihong ordered his personal guards to clear the way in front, he followed behind, and asked the rest of the main force to follow.

    Lin Shihong¡¯s bodyguards in front had many horses and could move fairly quickly, but the army behind them had been tired for a day and woke up in the middle of the night. They were in panic all day long and could no longer figure out the north, south, east, and west.

    And although the fire in the lake pit area has not been closed, the surrounding large and small lakes and puddles are not easy to walk at all.  Moreover, there are tidal flats and swamps around, and if you make a wrong step, you will fall into the mud.

    And Cheng Minzhen deployed a team of horse archers in the south.  These people were holding powerful crossbows and ambush behind the reeds. When the Chu army rushed out of the sea of ????fire, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the group of people suddenly rushed out and aimed at the Chu army, firing a burst of fire.

    A large number of Chu troops who survived the disaster were directly shot into sieves.

    The Chu army behind was frightened. They thought there was an ambush in front, so they turned back and did not dare to go forward.

    Lin Shihong was also a little surprised.??.

    There are pursuers behind, interceptions in front, and seas of fire on both sides. He really has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.

    "Who will save me!"

    At this time, Wang Rong, who had previously opposed the breakout to the south, came to Lin Shihong and said: "Emperor, we have no way forward or backward. At this time, we can only break out of the cauldron and sink the boat to find a bloody path."

    When Lin Shihong saw Wang Rong, he quickly held his hand as if holding a life-saving straw.

    "Bo Chong, Bo Chong, what do you think we should do?"

    Wang Rong replied: "Sir, we must fight our way south to break out!"

    Lin Shihong objected subconsciously: "But there is an ambush in the south?"

    "But the south is our way home."

    Lin Shihong looked at Wang Rong, and seeing the resolute look on his face, he nodded and said, "Just follow Bo Chong's words."

    Lin Shihong has lost his position at this time, and it is impossible not to listen to Wang Rong.

    So Lin Shihong ordered the three armies to break out south and even led the troops himself.

    But this was just Lin Shihong's wishful thinking. There were not many people following Lin Shihong. Most of them were afraid of the Sui army's ambush, so they stayed behind.

    Lin Shihong personally led his men to the opposite side and fought with the Sui army.

    Cheng Mingzhen¡¯s ambush troops were all horse archers and were unwilling to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy. They only used bows and crossbows to harass them.

    Although Lin Shihong suffered heavy casualties, he was determined to defeat the opponent, so he chased after the opponent and refused to let go.  The Sui army had no choice but to retreat bit by bit.

    At this time, Wang Rong was commanding from behind and finally cleared a road to the south.

    The Chu army, which had been fleeing in all directions, finally calmed down and rushed towards Wang Rong. Tens of thousands of Chu troops began to get orderly, and the situation seemed to be heading in a favorable direction.

    But it seems a little late.

    Soon, several more fires broke out in the reed marshes. After burning down the obstructions, these fires slowly gathered together.

    Countless Chu troops who fled south were eventually surrounded by raging fires from all sides and burned to death.

    In the sea of ????fire, I don¡¯t know how many people are struggling and crying!

    Zhida z.com Zhixiao.  To the north, Cheng Mingzhen defeated several groups of enemies in front and met Lin Zhongfu's troops.  Lin Zhongfu also knew the importance of this battle and fought desperately on the spot, fighting the Sui army desperately.

    The battlefield was not conducive to the movement of cavalry, and the numerous river branches were not conducive to cavalry maneuvers. Seeing that it was impossible to completely destroy the Chu army, Cheng Minzhen had to order the entire army to retreat to Wangjiang River.

    The horse archers in the south also retreated together.

    This battle started suddenly and ended suddenly, leaving people overwhelmed.

    Looking at the fire all over the sky and the dead bodies on the ground, Lin Shihong was a little confused. Can they still return to Yuzhang?
