Red Mansion: Seizing Jiangdong, starting with pirates

Chapter 205, Yongding River Campaign (IV)
The leaders of these two grassland troops did not underestimate the Huaiyin army.

Because according to the current intelligence of the battle, the combat capability of the Huaiyin Army is stronger than that of the grassland soldiers.

But even so, the two of them still separated from Deng Ren's troops.

Choose to quickly support grassland troops in crisis.

Because in the minds of the two men, no matter how powerful the Huaiyin Army was, it would not be possible to wipe out their entire army in one breath.

They must go quickly to stabilize the situation and ensure that the entire front does not collapse.

On today's battlefield.

Wei Xing was fighting against Hulele Yong.

Hu Lei Leyong was beating Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan was fighting against Huleleyong and the grassland reinforcements.

The grassland reinforcements are attacking Zhang Yuan.

The Huaiyin Army and the grassland army were intertwined with each other, and all the battles were closely linked. Once any of the troops collapsed, it would inevitably trigger a serious chain reaction, leading to a great defeat.

Zhou Shuan's reinforcements arrived at the battlefield first.

Zhou Shuan had two missions on this trip, one was to support Zhang Yuan, the other was to surround and attack the reinforcements.

It goes without saying that we need to support Zhang Yuan.

As for besieging a point and attacking the reinforcements, it means surrounding the grassland reinforcements that are fighting with Zhang Yuan, and then focusing on attacking other reinforcements that arrive later.

Zhou Shuan needed to delay all subsequent grassland reinforcements here in order to ensure the smooth progress of the overall plan.

After Zhou Shuan arrived, he did not stop at all and immediately began to lead his troops to organize the encirclement.

The 60,000-strong army was spread out like a big net, quickly cutting off the enemy's supplies and launching an encirclement.

On this day, Liang Lie, who was stationed in Hongmen Village, clearly felt that the grassland people's offensive was becoming more and more urgent.

The soldiers from the grassland wanted to break through Zhang Yuan's defense line before he completed the encirclement.

Hongmen Village is just a microcosm of this. All the Huaiyin Army’s strongholds were under fierce attack at this time.

But the reality is obviously not that easy.

The Huaiyin troops defended their positions tightly on every defense line, and every trench was filled with the corpses of grassland people. The battle lasted from morning to noon. Both sides were blood-thirsty and the losses were several times greater than before.

Suddenly, the grassland troops retreated like a tide.

Liang Lie realized that the second encirclement was complete.

The facts were just as Liang Lie expected.

Zhou Shuan and his troops successfully formed a second encirclement, trapping the reinforcements that had previously attacked Zhang Yuan.

It was for this reason that they had to retreat, otherwise their troops would be dispersed and destroyed one by one by Zhou Shuan.

At the same time, the second support force from the grassland finally arrived.

That is the grassland troop that had separated from Deng Ren before.

They hurriedly hurriedly, but they were still one step late.

After all, they were the reinforcements sent out only after receiving the news that Zhou Shuan was leading troops to support, so they were too late.

This troop's arrival was coincidental, and they fell into Zhou Shuan's trap of surrounding a point and attacking reinforcements.

Fighting quickly broke out between the two sides.

Zhou Shuan observed that the enemy had only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, which seemed a little small in number, but Zhou Shuan did not care. He thought they were grassland people and only sent these reinforcements.

Little did they know that this was because the other side had turned a clumsy move into an advantage and separated the reinforcements.

Who would have thought of this?

No normal person would split up the reinforcements, right?
It has to be said that the battlefield changes rapidly, and even the most powerful generals cannot predict all situations.

There was a melee among the parties, and a large number of soldiers died all the time.

The war is getting more intense and everyone is putting their chips on the line.

At that time, during the fierce fighting on the front line, Hu Leleyong in the back finally couldn't hold on anymore.

He now has only more than 16,000 soldiers and horses left.

What does this mean? One out of every two people is dead!
The soldiers had already reached their limit.

If he was not the leader of this tribe, his men would have mutinied long ago.

Hu Leleyong couldn't hold on any longer.

He was ready to retreat.

Seeing this, Wei Xing, Niu Jin, Ma Laohei and others bit Hu Leleyong tightly.

In fact, they could have destroyed Huleleyong long ago. Especially the heavy cavalry unit led by Ma Laohei, a charge was enough to defeat Huleleyong's extremely demoralized troops.

However, they did not do so, but chose to attack little by little to put pressure on Huleileyong.

The life or death of Huleleyong himself is not important. He is a bait, instigating Kah Khan to continue to invest troops.

If Huleileiyong were to be destroyed, not only would the benefits be limited, but it would also make Kah Khan wake up, just like a hero cutting off his arm and coming back to life.

By then, if the grassland people discovered the true purpose of the Huaiyin Army and stationed troops in Fangshan in advance, Fang Yong would be in trouble.

That would lead to an endless guerrilla war with the grassland cavalry.

Fortunately, the current plan is going very smoothly.

Bazhou.

Fang Yong leaned in a pool of warm water, reading today's military newspaper in his hand.

How hardworking he was that even at this time he did not forget to do three things at once and focused on the situation on the battlefield.

At the same time, he was also cultivating his proficiency in water.

[Talent: Water (Mastery)]

【Progress: 987/1000】

[Effect: Cross the river and ride the waves to sail. ]

There are about ten days left. Generally speaking, you can gain one level of proficiency by practicing for one day, but sometimes you can gain more if you practice harder.

The mastery level of water talent has already given Fang Yong inhuman physical fitness, and he can also control water flow in a small range. I wonder what the effect will be above mastery.

"Grrrrrr!"

A small head popped out from the water in front of Fang Yong. It was Xiangyun. Her little face was flushed red and she was holding Fang Yong's thigh and breathing heavily.

"Huh, huh, so tired~"

Xiangyun said with her tongue sticking out.

Her long hair was dripping with water and flowing into her white collarbone.

Under the collarbone is a small red bellyband, embroidered with two golden peonies, one in full bloom, the other shyly about to bloom, and two flying swallows, vivid and lifelike.

Fang Yong shook his head and put down the battle report in his hand. He stretched out his hand to stroke Xiangyun's hair and said:
"You're already out of breath? It's normal for martial artists to stay underwater for an hour to avoid danger!"

When Xiangyun heard this, her big black eyes rolled around, obviously not believing it.

Fang Yong smiled and said, "Don't believe it? Let me show you for yourself!"

After saying that, he sank into the water.

Xiangyun floated in the pool, her face becoming redder and redder under the influence of the surrounding steam, and her little hands could not help but hold tightly onto the edge of the pool.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

Xiangyun said in a trembling voice.

She didn't expect Fang Yong to be so powerful.

Being able to stay underwater for so long.

She has no strength left now.

Because I stayed in the water for too long...

Fang Yong then carried Xiangyun out.

"Qingwen, Jinchuan!"

Two maids came in to serve upon hearing the sound.

Jin Chuan was the maid that Mrs. Wang had sent over before, and Jia Rui was also traveling with her.

Jia Rui was already dead for "deceiving the emperor". Jin Chuan was Jia Rui's accomplice and should have been executed as well. However, Fang Yong was kind-hearted and spared her life, asking her to help take care of Xiangyun.

As for Qingwen, she was sent by Lai Sheng.

Lai Sheng and Lai Shangrong knelt outside for a day and a night, begging Fang Yong to accept Qingwen.

Fang Yong sometimes felt strange. Why did these people send him women? Was he being very lustful?

But no matter what, Fang Yong finally accepted Qingwen. Because he was too lazy to think of another name, he still named her Qingwen.

As for the Lai family, according to the unspoken rules, it would be difficult to kill them all after they accepted Qingwen.

Fortunately, Fang Yong’s current status is relatively high, and he himself is the rule.

After a few words of advice, Jia She and Jia Zhen naturally confiscated Lai's family and divided the seized silver into three parts and seven parts.
