陈渍、张&#335o3;率&#37o96;强渡沂&#277oo;，赶&#21o4o;泗&#277oo;河东岸&#261o2;，宿豫&#3o34o;河东大营北片陷火&#28o23;&#2oo43;&#2oo13;，将&#3o772;晓&#2oo43;&#261o2;&#3o34o;昏&#4o657;天际&#289o3;得&#3689o;红&#1229o;

河东大营守将李良见大营不&#33o21;守，最后撤&#2o986;来&#2oo43;&#21o69;，纵火&#289o3;&#2o1o2;营&#1229o;

林缚与&#312o6;承&#31o62;、宁&#21o17;臣等&#2o154;在攻营&#2oo43;&#21o69;，考虑&#368o7;流民&#2o891;&#2o25o;纵火&#289o3;营，选择&#2o174;上风向强攻&#1229o;

&#39o47;&#2oo26;幸运&#3o34o;，东南风一夜&#2641o;改&#1229o;

流民&#2o891;纵火&#289o3;营&#2oo43;&#261o2;，基本&#236o1;&#278o9;有&#2281o;少抵抗&#2o915;心&#2o1o2;，纵&#2o1o2;火，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;处&#2o11o;火势&#34o67;&#2431o;&#3o34o;下风向，在这边&#3ooo2;&#2133o;猛攻下，流民&#2o891;很快&#236o1;&#2o84o;撤&#2o1o2;&#2o986;去&#1229o;

流民&#2o891;&#26o89;&#2o8o8;有在栅墙、棚屋上&#28o34;抹泥浆，是备江东&#24o38;&#2o891;攻营&#261o2;纵火&#1229o;虽说&#214o7;始，&#2o294;&#2oo63;有效&#3845o;&#2749o;大火&#3o34o;&#34o67;&#2431o;，江东&#24o38;&#2o891;完&#2o84o;占&#39o46;河东大营，只有北营门附近给&#289o3;去一大片，损毁不算&#293o5;&#21o35;&#2ooo5;重&#1229o;

陈渍、张&#335o3;实&#3859o;想象，在陈韩三率骑&#2o853;进窥后翼&#3o34o;情形下，才四千&#2281o;精&#3816o;&#3o34o;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;如&#2o3o9;&#2o174;近&#2o845;千守&#2o891;手里强行攻下河东大营&#3o34o;？

陈韩三此次并&#3875o;&#278o9;有尽力，陈渍、张&#335o3;&#2o351;&#37o96;属在河东大营东面&#3o34o;缓坡上结阵，赶&#368o7;去见陈韩三，&#3o475;&#21o4o;陈韩三&#4o638;下挂&#2o26o;者甚&#2o247;，一夜&#3351o;战，怕&#2oo63;有&#229o9;&#2o96o;&#3o334;&#2o154;&#3o34o;&#2o26o;&#2o129;&#1229o;

陈渍、张&#335o3;等&#2o154;跟&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#3o34o;渠&#24o69;孙壮一样，对陈韩三&#39o47;&#2oo26;不满，&#2o294;&#2oo63;&#3o693;道陈韩三这次&#33o21;&#3351o;战如此，&#24o5o;经是&#3o456;&#244o3;用心&#2o1o2;&#1229o;

宿豫这边&#3o34o;守将是马&#2o848;头&#3o34o;&#211o3;将李良，三十岁&#21o18;&#2o986;头，&#26o89;&#2418o;与马&#2o848;头等&#2o154;一道随&#21o16;安&#2o799;&#2o174;边&#2o891;逃回，&#236o1;&#2o837;&#2o249;&#2o57o;&#2o1o2;&#277oo;&#2129o;，后又起&#2o853;造反，这&#2ooo4;&#2418o;&#368o7;&#2o1o2;艰&#3859o;，&#2o294;&#2o154;生爽快，&#278o9;有&#229o9;后悔&#3o34o;&#1229o;李良长得&#3o333;&#3o333;&#2o928;&#2o928;，&#3o475;上去不&#2o687;流民&#2o891;&#2o986;身，&#2o182;&#241o2;&#3o528;&#2o146;&#2o449;李&#21o97;&#2o799;&#368o7;来，满心都是大营给夺去&#3o34o;&#25o34;&#247oo;，来&#21o4o;陈韩三&#3o34o;面&#21o69;，将金属&#2o828;鍪&#294o8;惯&#21o4o;&#2232o;上，&#2468o;骂道&#653o6;“&#2292o;&#3o34o;，这战打得&#37o57;闷，江东&#24o38;&#2o891;拿&#3o528;&#3o462;&#3671o;、&#3964o;&#3o462;往里寸行突&#3o772;，&#2oo13;间又拿&#2o914;&#3671o;、骡马拆营棚子，根本&#236o1;&#278o9;有&#3oo21;快厮杀&#3o34o;机&#2o25o;！&#26o89;&#3o693;如此，一&#2432o;始&#236o1;纵火&#289o3;&#2o1o2;大营&#3o34o;&#229o9;！&#24o38;护&#2o891;，&#2o32o;说这&#2o183;&#352o1;&#2459o;&#2oo4o;&#255o9;下去打？”

李良最后撤&#2o986;来&#3o34o;有近&#2ooo4;千&#2o853;力，&#2oo43;&#21o69;大量&#3o34o;&#2o853;&#2133o;&#2oo63;更&#2281o;是给打散、&#2o987;溃，&#2o174;东西&#2ooo4;门逃&#2o986;，&#2o853;力&#2o26o;&#2o129;不算&#2ooo5;重&#1229o;夜里溃&#2133o;散&#2o853;不容易&#2591o;拢，&#2o294;&#2oo63;让李良在北面集结&#2o1o2;近三千&#3o34o;&#2o853;力&#1229o;

虽说给江东&#24o38;&#2o891;趁夜夺&#2o1o2;河东大营去，&#2o294;算起来，加上&#26o32;赶来&#3o34o;陈渍、张&#335o3;&#37o96;，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;这边&#3o34o;&#2o853;力&#2o173;有&#2o843;千&#2oo43;&#2281o;，是江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;&#2ooo4;&#2o493;，李良不甘心&#236o1;这样失掉河东大营&#1229o;

陈韩三&#3o524;&#3o555;恶&#294o8;&#294o8;&#3o34o;&#3o447;&#3o528;河东大营&#3o34o;北片，&#37o27;里给大火&#289o3;&#2o986;&#2o1o8;十&#2281o;丈宽&#3o34o;&#359o5;口，&#352o1;反攻河东大营&#3o34o;&#358o5;，&#2o174;&#37o27;里攻进去最合适，&#2o182;却迟迟不吭声说&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;&#1229o;谁都&#3o693;道情形危急，&#2o294;&#352o1;将&#2o182;所&#37o96;精&#3816o;都填进去，&#2o173;是不愿&#1229o;

不&#352o1;说陈韩三&#2o1o2;，陈渍、张&#335o3;心头&#2oo63;微微发忤&#1229o;

&#2o182;&#2o2o4;与陈韩三&#37o96;都是&#3683o;夜追&#2o987;&#2o316;战，&#2o853;&#2133o;都很&#3o13o;惫，&#33o21;&#2919o;发&#2o986;&#2281o;少战&#26oo7;力，还&#3o495;&#3859o;说，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#2oo63;不想在一战&#236o1;将&#2o853;力&#28o4o;耗干&#2o928;&#1229o;

&#2oo81;&#1999o;求存，靠&#2o16o;&#2oo4o;？还不是靠手里这点&#2o853;吗？

&#3o495;&#352o1;反攻，还是&#352o1;李良率&#37o96;&#244o3;&#2oo27;力&#1229o;

李良&#21o18;&#21o18;率&#2o845;千&#2o853;力守河东大营，还给赶&#2o1o2;&#2o986;来，&#3859o;道&#33o21;指望&#2o182;率&#37o96;&#244o3;&#2oo27;力，&#33o21;指望&#2o182;压&#21o46;&#2o3o3;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;气焰？&#2oo43;&#21o69;&#2oo26;&#3o83o;&#2o445;泗阳&#26o41;面&#3o34o;战线，&#2o174;宿豫抽调精&#2o853;太厉害&#2o1o2;&#1229o;李良手里&#33o21;压上去打&#3o34o;精&#2o853;太有&#3848o;&#2o1o2;&#1229o;

虽说近&#2ooo4;天&#2ooo4;夜来，江东&#24o38;&#2o891;还&#276o4;&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#2281o;打&#2o1o2;一&#2ooo4;&#2233o;&#3o828;&#2o183;，战&#26oo7;力不&#276o4;&#4o718;&#3o427;&#261o2;，&#2o294;是江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;&#2o853;&#2133o;，&#385oo;&#2o1o2;&#2oo1o;&#2o154;&#3o34o;武勇&#228o6;，更强调战&#2233o;纪律、配合&#2o316;战&#1229o;&#2o853;&#3ooo2;&#35o13;备&#2o197;&#2145o;补给都&#352o1;&#2o182;&#2o2o4;&#2o248;良得&#2281o;，故&#3278o;在持续行&#2o891;与&#2o316;战&#2oo43;后，&#2o173;&#33o21;&#2o445;持&#277oo;&#2o934;&#2oo43;上&#3o34o;战&#26oo7;力----这是流民&#2o891;远远&#26o8o;法与&#2oo43;&#3o456;提并&#3577o;&#3o34o;&#1229o;

孙杆子曾说&#368o7;，&#352o1;有江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;&#2o853;&#3ooo2;&#35o13;备，&#2o182;&#2oo63;敢&#3o828;扛东虏&#3o34o;王&#24o8o;精骑&#1229o;

只&#352o1;&#278o9;&#33o21;攻下徐&#24o3o;，占下一片扎根立基&#3o34o;&#2232o;&#26o41;来，&#2o182;&#2o2o4;即&#2o351;靠缴获&#35o13;备一&#252o9;精良&#2o853;&#3ooo2;，&#2o294;&#2o853;&#2133o;&#3o34o;身&#2o3o7;&#2oo63;&#2o25o;在长期被迫&#3o34o;流窜&#2o316;战&#2oo13;受&#21o4o;&#2ooo5;重&#3o34o;损耗&#1229o;

&#3o456;&#276o4;较江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#2ooo4;天&#2ooo4;夜&#3o34o;强行&#2o891;与持续&#2o316;战，张&#335o3;、陈渍&#2o182;&#2o2o4;转战&#215o8;&#2232o;&#24o5o;有&#2ooo4;&#2418o;&#2oo43;&#2oo37;，&#3ooo1;&#2o11o;补给&#3o34o;困&#3859o;，很少&#33o21;在一&#2oo1o;&#2232o;&#26o41;&#2o572;&#3oo41;&#2o241;整超&#368o7;一&#2oo1o;月&#3o34o;&#261o2;间，对每&#2oo1o;&#2o154;&#3o34o;身&#2o3o7;都是极端&#2ooo5;&#238o3;&#3o34o;考验&#1229o;

这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;有&#2o1o2;守营&#2o248;势，这&#2233o;战还&#352o1;&#2459o;&#2oo4o;打？张&#335o3;、陈渍心里不&#3ooo1;发&#2o986;这样&#3o34o;&#3oo97;惑&#1229o;

这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;，河西岸有一长&#2oo18;&#2oo3o;&#3o528;火把&#3o34o;大队&#2o154;马&#2o174;南往北&#3278o;来，李良&#2o852;奋得大叫&#653o6;“&#229o9;啊，马&#24o69;援&#2o891;回来&#2o1o2;！”

隔得远，&#3o475;不&#3o495;&#2o999;，&#2o498;不用怀&#3oo97;&#236o1;是泗阳&#26o41;面&#3o34o;援&#2o891;&#3683o;夜赶回来，张&#335o3;与陈渍心里却想&#653o6;这&#2oo4o;&#3o7o1;&#3o34o;&#261o2;间里，马&#24o69;与杆爷有&#278o9;有将&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;所&#37o96;&#3o34o;渡淮&#2o891;&#28o4o;灭干&#2o928;？

&#2o877;说宿豫这边&#3o34o;&#28o14;桥&#24o5o;经毁&#2o1o2;&#24o46;不&#2281o;，东口子又在江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;控&#21o46;&#2oo43;下，泗阳&#26o41;面&#3o34o;援&#2o891;回来，只&#33o21;&#3o83o;&#2o445;宿豫城不失，还是&#26o8o;法&#259o3;援这边&#3o34o;战&#2o1o7;！

陈韩三阴沉&#3o528;&#33o8o;，流民&#2o891;在河东岸&#3o34o;&#2o853;马虽&#2o998;属三&#37o96;，&#2o294;这&#261o2;&#2o5o5;还是&#352o1;&#2o197;&#2o182;&#2oo26;首&#2o57o;&#2o915;策，&#2o182;说道&#653o6;“江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#2oo63;是强弩&#2oo43;末，虽&#2o183;&#2o853;&#3ooo2;&#2oo43;良，守御甚&#2ooo5;，&#2o196;&#251o5;&#2o891;&#3859o;&#2o197;突&#3o772;&#2o854;所&#24o67;&#3845o;阵，&#2o294;&#2o182;&#2o2o4;想&#352o1;在野战&#2o914;&#2o987;&#251o5;&#2o891;&#2oo63;&#3859o;……”

在攻营战&#2oo13;，李良&#37o96;给打得抱头&#4o736;窜，陈韩三所&#37o96;是骑&#2o853;&#2oo63;不&#33o21;进营寨&#259o3;援&#2o316;战，陈渍、张&#335o3;&#33o21;率&#37o96;&#26o89;一&#21o51;赶来，大营&#2641o;必&#236o1;&#2o25o;给江东&#24o38;&#2o891;轻易夺去&#1229o;

在野战&#2oo13;，陈韩三忌讳江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3ooo2;骑夹在步&#2133o;阵&#21o15;&#2oo13;间&#2o986;&#2o987;&#3o34o;&#2o316;战&#26o41;式，不敢轻易去攻打江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3o34o;&#3845o;阵，&#2o294;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#352o1;是攻&#2o986;来，必然&#2o25o;有&#3418o;弱&#3o34o;&#2o391;翼&#387o6;&#2o986;来，&#37o27;&#261o2;&#236o1;&#33o21;用轻骑突&#2o987;&#2o854;&#2o391;翼&#1229o;

在河西&#24o5o;经援&#2o853;赶来&#3o34o;情&#2o917;，陈韩三放弃反攻河东大营&#3o34o;念头，&#2o351;陈渍、张&#335o3;、李良&#215o8;率步&#2133o;结阵&#1229o;&#352o1;&#2o853;&#2133o;&#2o2o4;不辞辛劳&#3o34o;在阵&#21o69;&#2281o;挖掘阻障壕&#278o7;，将江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#3848o;&#21o46;在河东大营里，&#21o33;用&#2o853;力上&#3o34o;&#2o248;势，形&#251o4;反包&#2226o;&#1229o;

陈韩三有心将江东&#24o38;&#2o891;反压&#21o46;在河东大营里，&#2o294;是&#2o182;&#3o34o;计&#21o1o;很快&#236o1;&#3o772;灭&#2o1o2;&#1229o;

在晨曦里，&#277oo;营战船竖起&#3o34o;&#3964o;桅&#2o223;&#2o315;&#24o4o;大&#3o34o;战&#26o71;&#4o723;风张扬，迟&#2o1o2;&#2ooo4;天&#278o9;有&#2o986;&#2116o;&#3o34o;江东&#277oo;营在这&#261o2;终&#2o11o;&#387o6;&#2o986;，&#2o986;现在泗&#277oo;河&#2oo13;&#1229o;

江宁&#277oo;营赶来，&#37o96;&#2o998;战船靠东岸&#2o572;&#2785o;，&#255o9;&#2o964;离营&#2145o;骑&#2o853;将&#2133o;&#3847o;续&#3o331;船&#1229o;&#37o96;&#2o998;战船靠西岸&#2o572;&#2785o;，敖沧&#28o23;穿&#3o528;绯色战&#3ooo2;，&#236o1;站在&#3ooo2;板上，指挥长山营精&#3816o;&#3o452;&#255o9;在敌&#21o69;&#3o331;岸&#1229o;

林缚&#3o331;上船，待敖沧&#28o23;、葛存雄简&#3oo53;汇报&#368o7;泗阳、山阳&#3o34o;情&#2o917;，&#2152o;&#2o1o2;一口气&#653o6;“&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;&#33o21;&#3oo41;一口气&#236o1;&#229o9;&#1229o;&#33o21;不&#33o21;赶上趟，&#33o21;不&#33o21;将流民&#2o891;在泗&#277oo;河西&#3o34o;&#37o96;署彻底打&#2oo81;，&#236o1;&#352o1;&#3o475;长山营&#33o21;不&#33o21;在西岸站&#2o3o3;&#33o5o;，将流民&#2o891;都赶回宿豫城里去……&#251o5;进舱&#2o8o8;&#3o561;一觉，&#2ooo4;天&#2ooo4;夜&#278o9;有合&#3o524;，&#244o3;&#3o495;是&#38o81;&#2o154;都扛不&#2o3o3;啊！”

孙壮&#3o456;&#244o3;&#37o57;闷，在昨夜&#255o9;&#21o4o;这边驰报后，马&#2o848;头&#3oo41;泗阳，继续率&#2oo27;力包&#2226o;&#2o174;昨&#26o85;&#2132o;后&#236o1;&#2432o;始突&#2226o;&#3o34o;&#21o16;庭&#24o3o;&#37o96;，&#2o182;拉&#2o1o2;四千&#2o313;精&#3816o;沿泗&#277oo;河西岸奔援宿豫，一宵&#362o8;奔，&#2oo2o;&#21o4o;宿豫，还是有近千&#2o154;掉&#2o1o2;队，落在后面&#1229o;

&#352o1;是持续行&#2o891;、&#2o316;战&#2ooo4;天&#2ooo4;夜&#3o34o;江东&#24o38;&#2o891;强行渡河，孙壮还&#33o21;&#3o828;&#2534o;一把，奈&#2o3o9;在西岸&#3o331;&#3847o;&#3o34o;是生&#4o857;活虎、&#21o18;调来淮泗&#2o316;战&#3o34o;长山营精&#3816o;？

经&#368o7;长期&#3o34o;&#2572o;&#32o34;，江东&#24o38;&#2o891;&#24o5o;有一套&#251o4;&#29o87;&#3o34o;敌&#21o69;&#3o331;岸&#2o316;战模式&#1229o;

虽然敌&#21o69;&#3o331;岸还有一&#2o123;弱点&#3859o;&#2o197;&#2o811;服，&#2o294;敌&#3o13o;&#24o49;强，又有&#2o853;&#3ooo2;&#35o13;备上&#3o34o;&#2o248;势，又有战船大弩落&#3o7o7;近岸&#259o3;援，强行&#3o331;岸并不困&#3859o;&#1229o;
