The Nan Yunlang guard understood, and a firework immediately rose into the sky. Before the fireworks had dissipated, another firework was set off in the upper reaches of the river. He Huairen was startled, and quickly picked up the monocular telescope, only to see a sudden appearance above the river.
The navy's flag was fluttering, and the two characters "Bliss" on it were particularly dazzling. However, in order not to be detected by Qingfeng in advance, the Bliss Navy obviously ambush far away. Although their troops had already appeared on the river
There is a trace, but it is still at least five miles away from the battlefield.
Being attacked from both sides? Several staff officers around He Huairen suddenly broke out in cold sweat. The navy was different from the army, and the change of formation was not that easy. Especially when facing the attack from behind, he was still in the middle of a battle. Then
The situation is even more troublesome. Although the Paradise Navy only has twenty or thirty battleships and at most ten thousand soldiers, it has frightened several staff officers.
Traitor! When He Huairen saw Ji Le's battleship, these two words were the first thing that came to his mind. Although the Yinglie Emperor and others above the imperial court had already known about this battle plan, the specific launch date was between himself, Zhang Cangxiong, and Liu Nanshang.
It was agreed in secret. Only a few people knew about it. However, the other party had already ambushed here. It was obvious that a traitor had informed the battle plan in advance, but because the specific time and location were not known, the ambush was relatively remote.
.And Caifeng's intelligence system has obviously been infiltrated by surrounding aliens, otherwise this low-level intelligence leakage problem would not have occurred at all. But what He Huairen didn't know was whether this was because of a traitor in the intelligence system or because of someone within the imperial court.
Dark ghosts are causing trouble.
Taking a deep breath and not paying attention to the panic of several staff members around him, He Huairen just said to He Bugui, who had just returned to his side: "Bugui, what do you think we should do now?"
"Rush over!" He Bugui said without hesitation.
"Why?"
"We are surrounded by enemies from both sides. If we allow the opponent to attack us from both front and back, we will definitely lose. For this reason, we can only sacrifice the advantage in water flow. In this way, the opponent's two armies can be combined into one. But as long as we can take the lead in charging
In the past, we might not have lost." He Bugui said in a deep voice: "We are now going down the river and have a speed advantage. The other party will definitely try their best to intercept us. We can leave some damaged and unnavigable ships.
Hold the enemy in place and wait until our fleet passes by, then set fire to the ships."
"Well, you are worthy of being a descendant of my He family!" He Huairen laughed. Just now, he was afraid that He Bugui would not think enough. Now it seems that his son can really take charge of his own affairs. He then loudly ordered: "Pass this command to everyone.
Battleships, immediately pierce Dongwa's formation. Remember, they are just passing through quickly, not killing the enemy. They must all form formations downstream. For battleships that cannot move, all personnel on board must be transferred to nearby ships, leaving only the arsonists.
.”
Turning around, He Huairen said to his son: "You lead ten warships as the vanguard. Remember, when you encounter the Japanese transport fleet, just ram and sink it."
He Bugui asked with some curiosity: "Father, what we have to fight for now is time, why are we going to ram and sink their transport fleet that has no attack power?"
He Huairen smiled and said: "You are still young, you will understand in the future, just take the order."
The navies of both sides were originally in a fierce battle, but they didn't know that the dragon army was going down the river at full speed. Kato Taka was caught off guard and actually let the dragon army break out of his defense line. And the more than ten warships at the front were
Even more brave, the trebuchets and crossbows on the deck were fired one after another at the transport fleet in front. Seeing this, Kato Takashi secretly screamed, he did not expect that He Huairen was so smart, he could see through it at a glance.
He had his own layout, and his moves were so clean and neat.
Regarding the plan of the Dragon Legion to ambush him, Kato Takashi had long known all the details through the inner ghost. For this reason, he also made a lot of preparations. The Paradise Navy was naturally a move, and with the strong support of the Japanese
, although the navy of the Holy Sect of Paradise is still very weak, they have the ability to sail on the water after all. And now the Qizhou of Yangzhou Road has completely become the territory of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and now they can still stay on Yangzhou Road
, in addition to the fanatical followers of the Holy Sect of Paradise, there are only closely monitored coolies who are treated as slaves and women who are being vented. Under such circumstances, whether it is the collection of the Qingfeng royal family or the soul-devouring souls of Hetao Haotian
, or the intelligence systems of the three major aristocratic families were completely cleared out. Therefore, the matter of the Paradise Holy Cult building a naval force was actually hidden from the eyes and ears of Qingfeng.
As for the second move, it is those dozens of transport ships. The two sides are now evenly matched in strength. Kato Taka does not think that he can completely entangle He Huairen's dragon army. If the dragon army sends some ships to attack, there will be no ability to fight back.
transport ship, the result can be imagined. Therefore, Kato Taka specially arranged hundreds of crossbowmen in each transport ship, and set up a trap for He Huairen. However, he did not expect that He Huairen could see through his arrangement at a glance. After all, it carried
The drafts and sailing speeds of ships carrying grain and grass are completely different from those of ships carrying soldiers. As soon as the collision angle of the He Bugui warship hit the transport ship, the ship was immediately destroyed and everyone died.
The third move is his naval fleet on the islands such as Zhoushan Chongming. But now is not the time, so it is not the best time to appear. After breaking through Kato Taka's navy, He Huairen quickly commanded his men.
The ships arranged their formations. There were more than 140 warships at the beginning of the war, but now there are only a little more than 100 left. And Kato Taka's fleet only has more than 80 ships left. Kato Taka is calculating the losses of both sides.
, as a result, the few warships that He Huairen specially left behind suddenly set themselves on fire again. At that time, several warships from Dongbo were used as burial objects, which immediately made Kato Taka furious.
Although Dongbo's losses were heavier than those of the Jiaolong Legion, after receiving the support of the Holy Sect of Paradise, Kato Taka not only had the advantage in strength, but also occupied the direction of Sheung Shui. The advantage on the battlefield had been transferred to Dongbo's hands.
But as soon as he arranged the formation, He Huairen noticed something was wrong. Behind him, more than thirty warships actually appeared. This was obviously Kato Taka's ambush, which was the Japanese navy stationed in Chongming, Zhoushan and other places.
At this time, the Dragon Legion had just broken through the dilemma of being attacked from two sides, and now it was trapped in a two-front battle environment.
There is a saying that good fortune never comes singly, and misfortune never comes alone. As the legs of several staff members became weak, He Huairen took the message that had just been sent by the carrier pigeon with a solemn expression, and then his face also turned pale for a while. He slowly closed his eyes.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He Huairen let out a long sigh and threw the information in his hand into the rolling river. There was only one line written on the information: Pu Zhicheng raided the Xijiang defense line, Song Junlin abandoned the defensive position and led his troops to withdraw northward.
Duke Jingnan was unable to support himself, so Liu Bi was ordered to return to support the Xijiang defense line.
Just like no one thought that the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces would hook up with the Eastern Japanese Dynasty, no one thought that Park Zhicheng's offensive would be so fierce. According to the agreement at the time, Song Junlin led the White Ear Army to station in Luzhou, Dahu Road.
Assist Jingnan Duke Ouyang Jingzhong to defend the Xijiang defense line. Liu Bi's 50,000-strong Jiaolong Corps went east out of the Xijiang estuary, and attacked the Eastern Japanese Navy and the Dajiang River with He Huairen's headquarters. Song Junlin initially responded to this order
He was also particularly satisfied. In his opinion, this was an open and honest move by the imperial court to expand his sphere of influence to Luzhou. Compared with the rugged South Yunnan Road, the Dahu Road to Luzhou was undoubtedly much more fertile. So he had just arrived in Luzhou.
When he was in the prefecture, his performance was quite active. He not only stepped up armaments, but also inspected the Xijiang defense line closely. But no one expected that before his buttocks could get hot, Park Zhicheng's army had already arrived.
Pu Zhicheng is recognized as the number one general south of the Xijiang River. Although he is a little embarrassed because the war art in the Lingnan and Mitsukoshi areas is far different from that in the Central Plains, he has a good reputation. At least a general of this level is not Song Junlin.
It can be compared. The empire's famous general Ouyang even believes that this man will even become the second Cassimbas in twenty years. Although Song Junlin is also a rising star in the empire, he is one of the ten heroes of the empire.
characters in the film, but the gap between the two is still very obvious. This is especially obvious when the war is going on.
Compared with the Jinhua Mitsukoshi Allied Forces, the soldiers of the White Ear Army are definitely superior in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment. But the Dahu Road is not the Yizhou Road after all. There are not so many mountains and hills here, except for the endless fertile fields and fertile soil.
There is only a continuous network of rivers and lakes. The White Ear Army has just arrived here and is not familiar with the geographical conditions here, so its combat effectiveness will naturally not be fully utilized. Fortunately, the White Ear Army does not have cavalry, otherwise their combat effectiveness will be even more difficult to obtain.
ensure.
Park Zhicheng's attack was particularly resolute and courageous. Following his order, hundreds of boats, large and small, rushed out of the endless reeds on the south bank of the Xijiang River like arrows, and instantly cut through the Xijiang River several meters wide.
The river surface in the river directly penetrates into the north bank of the Xijiang River. The soldiers of the White Ear Corps had just completed their formation after receiving the news from the scouts. Countless Golden Flower soldiers had already jumped off the ship like locusts, and opened up the river in just an instant.
A stable landing point was created. The northerners rode horses and the southerners sailed boats. Especially the soldiers from the south of the Yangtze River were good at boating. Although the soldiers of the Bai'er Corps were elite, they were obviously not used to such a water town after fighting in the mountains for a long time.
Although they had tried their best to fight, the terrain on the riverside and the reeds everywhere still severely restricted their combat effectiveness. By the time Song Junlin got the news and rushed to take command in person, at least 30,000 people had gathered on the north bank of the Xijiang River.
The name was a golden flower soldier. And the blood of the soldiers who died in battle had already dyed the river red.
