Half of the navy in Huishui Bay are veterans, including Chen Wu's old men and the 800 people brought by Gan Ning. These people have very strong organizational skills and resistance.
After Wenpin led his troops to break through the military stronghold, these people immediately organized their troops to form a defense line and blocked the first wave of attacks.
This bought Chen Wu valuable time.
"Su Fei, quickly organize your men, evacuate immediately, and gather at Chenjiatai. This place has been breached by the Jingzhou Army, evacuate quickly!" Chen Wu roared to convey the order.
Su Fei was the one who came to Zhang Xiu with Gan Ning.
After hearing Chen Wu's words, Su Fei immediately shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Suddenly, a wave of arrow feathers shot over.
Then the order to withdraw troops was conveyed.
Of the 10,000 troops in Huishui Bay, only more than 4,000 people were evacuated safely in the end. The entire Huishui Bay was engulfed in flames as the fire soared into the sky.
Wenpin led his men to the shore and pursued them non-stop.
At this moment, the most precious thing for both parties is time.
Wenpin wanted to kill the enemy's effective forces before their second line of defense was formed, leaving them unable to resist, and strive to occupy Nanyang in the shortest possible time.
Chen Wu, on the other hand, wanted to be ready to resist before Wenpin caught up with him.
It all depends on Ding Feng's speed.
"Quick! Quick! The whole army is moving forward quickly. Give up all baggage and only need to carry weapons. Give up everything else. Hurry up!"
In the second battalion, Ding Feng came galloping all the way, rushed into the military camp and ordered people to blow the horn.
Fortunately, the training of these people was combined with the methods brought by Zhang Xiu's later generations. Night patrol gatherings often occurred, and the soldiers gradually adapted to such training. Therefore, when most of the soldiers got up, they thought it was training again.
It wasn't until the real battle order was issued that they became energetic.
From gathering to setting off, it only took less than a stick of incense for the entire army of 10,000 people, which was very fast.
But the anxious Ding Feng still felt that it was too slow.
The whole army ran away. The second battalion was forty miles away from Lujiatai. They had to get to their position before dawn and establish an effective defense.
Ding Feng ran at the front of the army.
Riding on a horse made him feel uneasy. Only by letting all the soldiers see him and follow him closely could his eager heart feel more at ease.
When the nobles saw their general running so hard, everyone accelerated as fast as they could without being outdone.
Chen Wu's side.
Each military camp is equipped with five hundred cavalry, which is regarded as a horse exploration camp.
There were only 300 people left in the Tanma Camp of the first battalion. Chen Wu ordered 100 people to stay to investigate the military situation. The other troops went to Lujiatai to arrange the battlefield, and ordered people to issue orders to the third and fourth battalions, and at the same time pass them to Wancheng. War situation.
Thirty miles away, Wenpin followed closely.
There were only 500 cavalry on his side, and they were kept for scouting purposes. The rest of the cavalry were handed over to Zhang Yun for a surprise attack on Wuguan.
Both sides are moving step by step, it depends on who is faster.
The sky gradually gets brighter.
The fog also became thicker, but Ding Feng was so hot that he couldn't wear clothes, and there was steam on his head. If he looked further, he would find that everyone on the whole road was steaming, like a man with hair. Hot long snake.
At this moment, they finally arrived at Lujiatai.
At the front of Lujiatai is a depression. On the right side of the depression are puddles of different sizes, on the left is a small pond and rice fields, and behind it is a three-meter elevated platform.
This stage is called Lujiatai.
The defense they want to build is to build on this platform. This three-meter platform is a natural barrier. It is condescending and can form a perfect line of defense.
"Everyone, dig a one-meter-deep trench to build a defense against enemy attacks. Archers, gather all the archers. After the trench is dug, the archers will be the first and the pikemen second, and enter the trenches." This tactic is of course It was taught by Zhang Xiu. This is an effective way to defend against infantry.
Originally, their best weapon should be the flower-edged armor-piercing crossbow. This thing was difficult to get. In addition, the war was urgent and there was no time to get it. All the archers carried Han bows.
The victory lies in sufficient quantity.
In the hazy morning fog, 10,000 troops began to dig battlefield fortifications.
At this time, Chen Wu was only ten miles away from here.
The troops on both sides were working hard at this moment.
For Wenpin, this battle must be won, and it must be a complete victory. The losses here must not be large, otherwise the subsequent siege will be impossible.
For Ding Feng and Chen Wu, this battle must not be lost.
This was their first battle under Zhang Xiu's tent. Even if their lives were on the line, they could not lose.
"General, General Chen and the others are here."
At this time, Ding Feng's face changed when he heard the report from his personal guards. He stood up and took a look. Sure enough, he saw Chen Wu leading a group of embarrassed soldiers rushing over. Not far behind them, the enemy army Hot pursuit.
Ding Feng looked back at the half-constructed fortifications and immediately shouted: "Everyone stops constructing the fortifications. Archers and spearmen immediately get into position, rest and prepare for battle!"
After the order was issued, the entire army immediately took action.
Not long after, Chen Wu and Ding Feng met together. Both of them had solemn expressions on their faces. What followed was a terrifying and tough battle, and what they had in their hands was a group of new soldiers.
Neither of them felt confident.
"Chengyuan, do you still remember that Governor Gan won one against two?" Chen Wu gasped and said suddenly.
Ding Feng said, "This battle is a battle for the governor to make his name. How could you not know?"
Chen Wu laughed, then pointed at the Jingzhou Army opposite and said: "This battle will soon be our battle to make our name. As long as we repel them, we can raise our heads and be human. It also proves that the lord is not wrong about us." .”
"right!"
Ding Feng's answer was very powerful.
At this time, Wenpin let the army take a short rest and issued the order to charge.
Ding Feng and Chen Wu stood in front of the two armies.
After watching the enemy enter a hundred steps, he immediately ordered to fire arrows.
Wenpin also gave the order to release arrows.
At the same time, crossed arrow feathers were shot down from the sky, and screams resounded throughout the sky.
"The whole army is ready!"
Chen Wu stood up, holding a sword in his hand, with a murderous look on his face, "Raising an army for a thousand days, it can be used in a moment to prove that the time for our navy has come. Soldiers, follow me and kill!"
Ding Feng roared: "Kill!"
Suddenly, killing cries resounded in the sky, and the second general led the army to kill down the mountain.
It's not that they gave up the position voluntarily, but that the position was not fully prepared and lost its original meaning. It would be better to rush down with the inertia of this slope and confront them head-on, which would actually increase the momentum of the battle.
After all, these soldiers are new recruits. If they cannot stand it for a while, their morale will inevitably collapse.
Wenpin was not a vegetarian. Seeing that the enemy general was brave and fearless, he also held a big sword and led his army to charge towards him. This was a rare and fierce battle.
It was also a rare fierce battle in which the generals of both sides charged into battle.
The soldiers on both sides, under the leadership of their generals, raised their fighting momentum to its peak. Their fighting spirit overwhelmed their fear, and they were involved in the meat grinder of such a battle.
