Chapter 316: Non-toxic and not a husband(1/2)
On the turbulent river surface, a large amount of wood chips floated, and swollen corpses and blood-red river water washed out from the mouth of Qiantang Bay.
Yang Su led Li Shunchen to sit in the center of the five-toothed ship, looked at Dong Xi Zhou Cang and the others lifted Li Jun up, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
There are extremely few generals who are good at commanding naval forces, and they are proficient in water and can charge on the river.
Yang Su understood a little why his lord had to stuff these two people into the Longque Navy Army, which was nothing more than making up for the lack of powerful generals in the Navy Army.
If there are not enough powerful generals in a navy army to charge for the commander, it is probably difficult for this navy army to exert its combat power beyond its level.
Yang Su thought he was an expert in the water battle, but if he faced the situation of lacking generals and soldiers, he would probably be hard for a skilled woman to cook without rice and to exert all her abilities.
Similarly, if the opponent has a fierce general who sneaks through the blockade of the navy on the river and goes into the main ship alone to take the head of the enemy general, Yang Su can only give up resistance and be slaughtered.
Compared with the troops on land, the navy relies more on the command of the main general. As long as the main general dies, warships without the coordination of the main general will easily fall into chaos and run around the river like headless flies.
"Kill into the water camp and wipe out the remaining enemies. If you don't surrender, kill them all and leave Qiantang River!"
Yang Su ordered aloud, and a trace of violence flashed in her eyes.
The river surface that was blocked by Qiantang Water Army was unobstructed. The warships of the Dragon Que Army rushed into the water camp as if they had passed through an unmanned land. The hard bow of the ship was slammed into the gate of the village, and a crack broke out.
At this time, the soldiers who were still staying in the water camp saw the tragic situation on the river with their own eyes. Now that the enemy is coming to the door, they still have the idea of resisting.
Crying and shouting from the water camp surrounded by warships kept coming from the agile Longque soldiers climbed up to the camp, swaying their arms to chop all the enemies to the ground.
For a moment, the entire water village was bleeding, and a large number of Qiantang soldiers who had their throats cut into the river fell from the village bridge into the river. The rest cried and knelt on the ground, begging for surrender.
Without spending a lot of time, the Longque Water Army completely controlled the entire water camp in its hands, and a large number of warships and large ships were anchored here one after another.
The scale of the water camp built by Li Jun was built according to his own naval army, but for the huge number of Longque naval army, this water camp was a bit too narrow, and there was not even a place where the Wuya ship was parked, so he had to continue looking for a place upstream.
Yang Su and the generals of the navy took the boat to the shore, and behind them were suppressing the fascinated Li Jun.
"How far is this place from Qiantang County?"
Yang Su narrowed her eyes to the distance and could vaguely see the outline of the city on the horizon.
"Report to the general that according to the meaning of these surrendered soldiers, there is a ferry more than ten miles away from this water village, and Qiantang County is not very far from the ferry."
"Does the general want to attack Qiantang County immediately? Our army has just fought a big battle. Although our morale is high, we are exhausted physically and mentally. I am afraid that we will not be able to exert our strength."
Zhou Cang felt that it was a bit too hasty to launch an attack at this time.
Dong Xi, who was standing aside, nodded and dissuaded: "Fighting on the water is much more tiring than working on the ground. Moreover, this battle is the first official war between our navy army. I am afraid that many people will find it difficult to adapt to such intensity. Furthermore, we do not have the ability to build siege equipment, and attacking Qiantang County requires long-term planning."
Yang Su waved his hand and didn't say anything, but looked at the silent Li Shunchen. It was obvious that he wanted to listen to the advice of his deputy.
Li Shunchen's eyes swayed slightly, and then he spoke, "I also think the words of the two generals make sense. We'd better be stationed in Qiantang Water Village, and then use this as a bridgehead. The lord's troops can be transported continuously."
After hearing Li Shunchen's words, Yang Su nodded, but shook her head again.
"Your suggestions are pretty good, but don't forget that Wang Jingluo's troops were still entangled with Yan Baihu in the Wucheng area. If Yan Baihu sent someone to persuade Qiantang's three counties to send troops north, Wang Jingluo would be attacked from the back and forth."
"The reason why the lord asked our navy to attack the three counties of Qiantang was not only to conquer these three places, but also wanted to rely on large warships to block the entire Qiantang River water system. In this way, Wang Jingluo would not be brave enough to be attacked, and we could use the Qiantang River to go north to support them."
Yang Su looked as calm as a pool, and she expressed her long-prepared words.
With his temper, there shouldn't be too much explanation, but after all, he is new and needs to rely on his own ability to completely impress the group of naval generals, so that the other party can obey his orders well.
Moreover, he can also use this to develop a factional force loyal to him in the Dragon Que Army and gain more voice in front of Li Ji.
After hearing Yang Su's explanation, Zhou Cang and Dong Xi nodded in agreement, but Li Shunchen's face was still a little worried.
"It takes enough troops to attack the county town. Where do we have so many people?"
"No need to worry, I have already had an idea. Lee Sun-chen, you won't ignore these prisoners."
Lee Sun-chen frowned and said, "Their loyalty is not guaranteed soon after these prisoners surrender."
"There is no need to guarantee their loyalty, as long as they are afraid of death!"
Li Shunchen had something to say, but was interrupted by Yang Su's wave, "Leave a small number of soldiers, warships to control the place, and the remaining people followed me to attack Qiantang County."
The sound of the trumpet echoed in the air again. Three five-toothed ships led small and medium-sized warships such as small and medium-sized warships, carrying naval soldiers and a large number of prisoners, heading upstream.
At this time, the people of Qiantang County heard that the enemy was attacking the downstream water camp, and were already scared to death and hid in Qiantang County.
The ships originally arranged at Qiantang Ferry have been recycled by the boatmen to ashore, and the gentle river surface has lost its hustle and bustle in the past.
Soon the warship of the Dragon Crop Army sailed in, and the gentle surface of the river seemed to be swept by the evil aura soaring into the sky, and countless waves splashed.
The dense ships almost filled the entire river with no gaps.
Qiantang County not far away was silent. Qiantang County Magistrate climbed the city wall on the guards of his personal soldiers, frowned, and stared at the warships as ferocious as giant beasts on the ferry.
"Our navy is over. Is Li Jun back alive..."
The Qiantang County Magistrate's voice was very hoarse.
Many of the soldiers in Qiantang Water Village had already escaped during the chaos, but the Dragon Crow Army had amazing combat power and did not spend much time breaking through Qiantang Water Village and blocking the entire Qiantang Bay exit.
The situation was very serious. Even though he mobilized all the people to demolish houses and boil water early in the morning and prepared a lot of defensive materials, it was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for them.
They had not even cut down trees outside Qiantang County, and the chief general of the Dragon Que Army could use materials locally to create a batch of siege equipment.
Under the gaze of many defenders, Yang Su brought the soldiers of the Longque Army and the captured Qiantang soldiers to outside Qiantang County.
Every Dragon Bird Army soldier had just come out of the battle and was soaked in blood all over his body. The strong smell of blood drifted to the walls with the air, making the guards' soldiers' faces pale.
"Li Jun's navy is incomparable to them. Perhaps this is the real navy."
The county magistrate and the magistrate on the Qiantang County wall looked at the enemy under the city wall, and were shivering by the solemn aura, and their heads were almost blank.
The county magistrate, who was in charge, bit his lips tightly, grabbed the bricks on the city wall with his palms, his eyes full of reluctance.
He was one of the first players to receive the recruitment order. He once had the opportunity to quickly climb and rise like Li Ji and become a dragon and phoenix among people.
Unfortunately, he suffered a severe blow in the early stage of the Yellow Turban activity. In addition, he devoted all his resources to the national war, and he received a pounce of loess, which made it difficult to improve until now, and it was even worse than before.
The power Li Ji brought to him was too great that he still couldn't accept it.
"Look at the county magistrate, we have our soldiers among them!"
There are a large number of prisoners in the Dragon Que Army formation, and the guards standing on high places can easily find their teammates in the same camp.
"My brother is not dead!"
"God blesses me, my aunt doesn't have to be a widow."
"What the hell do they want to do? Come here with prisoners, shouldn't they be placed in the back and watch over them?"
Many soldiers of the defenders were puzzled by this.
"Mr. I'm afraid they want to use the captives to dismantle the morale of our soldiers."
The Qiantang County Magistrate beside him said.
The Qiantang County Magistrate remained silent, but soon grinned and asked, "Are you saying they want to rely on prisoners to persuade us to surrender? No, I think they are not just like this."
"The county magistrate means..."
"Look again, look again."
The Qiantang County Magistrate shook his lips.
He was a player, so he naturally learned the announcement that Wang Meng became the prefect of Wujun. According to his duties, as the magistrate of Qiantang County, he should open the city gates to welcome Yang Su's troops into the city.
According to Li Ji's temper, as long as Wang Meng successfully took office, he would definitely be removed from the county magistrate. He was a little unwilling to accept that the position of the county magistrate was achieved by him and he did not want to let him go.
After Yang Su set up the army formation, he came down under the city wall of Qiantang County under Zhou Cang's guards, looked at the trepidated defenders with his eyes and said with a smile:
"The prefect of Wu County asked my lord for reinforcements, and I took over the city on my lord's order, but you did this. Could it be that you wanted to rebel?!"
Yang Su's loud shout scared the defenders. Many soldiers had not yet known that Sheng Xian had died in battle, and the court appointed Wang Meng as the new prefect of Wujun.
They acted as guarding the city, just following the words of their county magistrate.
If the new prefect takes over the city as the other party said, and they refuse to enter the city, it is no different from rebellion.
The defenders on the city wall suddenly started to riot. Look at me, I look at you, and it seems that I want to verify whether Yang Su's words are true or false.
At this time, the Qiantang County Magistrate said loudly: "We did not receive any orders, saying that the prefect of Wu County has changed. This is probably Li Ji's trick, and he wants to use this to invade us. You are the thieves!"
"Yes, thief! thief!"
Hearing that the county magistrate said this, many soldiers whistled loudly and cursed Yang Su angrily under the instigation of the generals.
Yang Su did not rise up, but instead showed a contemptuous smile and said loudly: "Since this is the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, he brought Zhou Cang back to the army.
"You choose two hundred prisoners, don't let them wear armor, just distribute them a weapon. Tell them that if they don't take down the city wall, they will be waiting to be killed by the supervisory team!"
Yang Su gave an order, which surprised the generals around him.
"General, are you confused? How could two hundred prisoners take them to Qiantang County? Isn't this let them die?!"
"I just let them die!"
Yang Su's tone was very cold and her expression was cold, and she didn't feel any guilt about these two hundred lives.
Due to Yang Su's eyes, Li Shunchen had to bow and take over the order and call out two hundred people.
The changes in the Dragon Crow Army were soon captured by the defenders, but they couldn't help but get angry when they saw their companions being pushed to the front of the formation.
