He sat blankly on the main seat, his thoughts already wandering far away.
Since receiving the secret message from Star City a few days ago, the information channels of the Central Army Corps have once again become unimpeded like a flood that broke a bank.
Within a few days, news and intelligence from all aspects were gathered in front of us.
There are too many unexpected news and too many elusive changes in all aspects.
For a moment, he was overwhelmed.
"General, general?"
At some point, Commander Li, whom he had always relied on, approached him.
"What's the matter?" Feng Haohan came to his senses.
Military Advisor Li quickly handed over the battle report that had just been sent over.
"General, a small group of Japanese pirates' vanguard troops have landed and are now competing with General Dai for every inch of land on the shore. The casualties on both sides are considerable."
Have the Japanese pirates landed?
Feng Haohan's heart tightened.
He quickly grabbed the battle report and glanced at it a few times, then subconsciously turned his head to look at the hourglass next to him.
"What does Dai Puyu do for food?"
"I want people to give people, and baggage to give baggage. The Japanese pirates have already established themselves on the shore in such a short time after the war started?"
It is simply inferior to the arrogance of the northern garrison.
If the news spreads, will the legion still be shameless?
Feng Haohan looked very ugly and cursed a few words angrily.
This Dai Puyu is worthy of being a member of the same family as Lin Hanmo, and is equally difficult to use.
However, as soon as Lin Hanmo was mentioned, his reminder before leaving Dinghai Pier rang in Feng Haohan's ears again.
"Prince Ning is not the princes of Xingji City. He climbed up from the pile of dead people..."
"Made up for the mistakes and let bygones be bygones!"
call!
Feng Haohan suddenly stood up.
"Come here! Send an order to Dai Puyu and ask him to think of every possible means and use all means to drive all the Japanese pirates who have landed ashore back to the sea before dawn tomorrow."
"Otherwise, I will remove him from his post."

front.
Dai Puyu was leaning on the Grand Master's chair in the watchtower, sipping tea leisurely.
"Ji Ming," he asked the military advisor next to him in a haphazard voice, "do you see the fireballs and crossbows coming and going in front of you, do they look like the fireworks set off by Xingji City on New Year's Eve last year?"
Tsk tsk tsk.
Ji Ming smiled and nodded repeatedly, "When the general said this, my subordinates realized that they are really similar."
However, the fireworks on New Year's Eve are usually accompanied by laughter and laughter, but now what echoed in their ears were only the screams and moans from the front line.
"General, are you homesick?" Ji Mingxiao said, "After this battle is over, you can definitely advance a few levels, and then you can go home in glory. My wife and son will definitely be proud of the general."
Well!
Dai Puyu just took a sip of her fragrant tea and nodded happily, "I will accept your good advice."
Before long,
Report!
Some soldiers came in a hurry.
"General, news from the General."
Dai Puyu quickly sat up straight and respectfully.
He just glanced at Feng Haohan's order, jumped on the ground and spit out the tea in his mouth.
"Ji Ming," he looked at the military advisor murderously, "what did you write in the battle report?"
ah?
The cannibalistic ferocity on Dai Puyu's face made Ji Ming startled.
"My subordinate didn't write anything." He felt aggrieved and confused, "General, don't you read every battle report before it is sent to the Chinese army?"
Dai Puyu came to her senses, but without caring about anything else, she rushed directly to the fence and raised her binoculars to look towards the shore.
Numerous warships gathered on the sea, and the pontoons connected to the shore were no longer just a few, but became a dense row.
For a moment, Dai Puyu couldn't count how many there were.
At first glance, I thought there was a huge centipede on the beach.
Countless Japanese pirate soldiers either carried huge wooden shields or carried heavy sandbags and rushed towards the shore.
Although most people were hit by rocks from the sky or sharp arrows from the shore and fell into the sea on the way, there were still many people who rushed to the shore and struggled to form a team to fight westward.
"What does Fang Yuanwu do for food?"
Dai Puyu was furious.
It takes a lot of strength to fire stone bombs, but there are so many left-wing soldiers on the high ground that they can be divided into several groups for rotation.
What was their initial motivation?
How come the more we fight, the more Japanese pirate warships dock?
"Come here! Let the front hold back. At the same time, go to the high ground on the left wing and ask General Fang to immediately cut off the enemy's subsequent attack. We will wait until I drive the enemy on the shore into the sea."
The ordering soldiers quickly ran up to the high ground.
Fang Yuanwu, however, casually spread his hands and said, "I know, general. When I go back and tell you, General Dai, I will work hard on the left flank."
As soon as the messenger left, the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became a bit gloomy.
"What's going on!" Fang Yuanwu lowered his voice, his voice somewhat unbelievable.
Less than half a day after the battle started, reports came one after another from the ballista position and the trebuchet position that the equipment was damaged or could not be started.
"I know, let's get someone to fix it quickly."
At first, Fang Yuanwu didn't take it seriously.
People are subject to birth, old age, illness and death, not to mention all kinds of luggage made of steel and wood?
After all, since they were built, they have been piled up in warehouses with almost no one taking care of them.
In addition, the journey from Ruinan County is windy and watery.
It’s not surprising that something unusual is happening now!
However, not long after, news came out that the ballista and trebuchet were damaged on a large scale, and Fang Yuanwu panicked.
Without the trebuchets and ballistas on the high ground, Ishikawa Taki could drive the warships to the shore unscrupulously. By then, the pressure on the frontal defense line would not be as great as usual.
Although Fang Yuanwu was unhappy with Lin Hanmo and hated Wu Jiwu, he also disliked Dai Puyu.
But now and then, holding Dinghai Pier and defeating Ishikawa Taki is the only way out for their central army.
At this time, Fang Yuanwu didn't want to lose anything.
"Send someone to repair it quickly, and at the same time move the trebuchets and ballistas from the second position to the first position."
"This..." The military advisor and the lieutenants looked at each other, "General, this may be a bit difficult."
Trebuchets and ballistas are not bows and arrows that can be held lightly in the hand. Each of them is very large and heavy.
Although it can be moved, it must be dismantled and moved before being reassembled.
It would be fine if only one or two were damaged, but now it is massively damaged, and the Japanese pirates are landing and attacking non-stop, so it may be too late.
"Then quickly change the direction of the second position and attack the enemies at the dock."
"This..." The military advisors hesitated again.
There are many trebuchets and ballistae on the high ground, covering a vast area, so it is divided into several parts.
Among them, the first position mainly protects against enemies from the sea direction, the second position mainly attacks enemies who have just landed ashore, and the third position is used to suppress enemies after breaking through the first line of defense.
Each position has a clear division of labor and each performs its duties.
Although the adjacent parts can replace attack targets, the proportion is not large. It can be said that few are equal to none.
According to Fang Yuanwu, by changing the attack direction of the second position, we can attack the sea.
But because of the distance, it is more likely that Dai Puyu's frontline troops will be hit.
well.
Fang Yuanwu was in a dilemma and could only let out a long sigh.
"Who is the logistics officer? Where is the person he created? I would like to ask how this idiot maintains his luggage on a daily basis!"
How could damage on such a scale be caused.
"General," a military advisor looked around and lowered his voice, "Our logistics officer is the general's brother-in-law."
