Chapter five hundred and fifteen burning the warship
The generals nodded in agreement, and Li Luo smiled and said: "That's right, in the battle of Dongfu, the winner must be decided before the bandits enter the sea. i?q?u?g?e?．?cn”
"What's your plan, General?"
Li Luo glanced at Shen Xiangdong and said slowly: "In the battle of Fenghe Valley, General Shi and General Helian did not come. I actually ordered them to go ahead and burn down the rogue warships and cut off their retreat. Force the rogue bandits to fight in the two states of Dongyanchuyang."
"Ah, why didn't I see General Shi and the others? It turns out that the General had a plan for a long time." Fu Xiu Shu was shocked and looked at Li Luo in surprise.
Li Luo smiled softly and continued: "This move is also a last resort to cut off the bandits' retreat. Regardless of whether it is possible or not, if it is accomplished, the bandits will definitely wreak havoc in the two states of Dongyan and Chuyang. The one who will suffer is Da Gan. the people of Li."
"General, if you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, if Mu Tianlang's soldiers leave the East Mansion, the revenge of these bandits with their grievances will inevitably become more fierce and fierce. It is better to just fight and weaken the courage of the bandits."
"That's my original intention, but you have to be cautious in your actions. It's always good if the people can be less disturbed."
"General, I will obey the order." All the generals in the tent responded in unison.
"However, with the lessons learned from Fenghe Valley, even if the bandits intend to fight to the death in these two states, they will definitely act cautiously. In this way, they must do a good job when the bandits test them, and attack their hearts first." Shen Xiangdong said thoughtfully, stroking his beard. .
Li Luo answered loudly: "Mr. Shen is brilliant."
Shen Xiang Dongguan, shook his head and said: "The general has already made up his mind, why bother wearing this high hat for me."
Li Luo laughed. He and Shen Xiangdong had known each other for a long time, and it was rare for them to make a joke or two. Seeing that Fu Xiu Shu was still confused, Shen Xiangdong chuckled and said: "General Fu, the bandits are reluctant to part with the property in our army, Mu Tian The wolf is a thorn in the flesh of the rogue bandits, and they must be eliminated quickly. However, in the previous battle at Fenghe Valley, the rogue bandits lost their troops and generals. Now they must be very careful. Before the decisive battle between the two armies, the rogue bandits will test our army first. General Fu must remember if he encounters the rogue bandits' forward spies. , neither winnable nor defeated. If there are too many traces, it may arouse the suspicion of the bandits, which is not good. If it is unstoppable, it may break the spirit of the bandits and not dare to fight. After all, it is to make them feel that they can fight and have a chance to win. , so the best.”
Fu Xiu Shu suddenly understood and praised him repeatedly. Wu Ta grinned and said, "I'm afraid I can't do this. If I push down this iron rod, not many people can stop me."
All the generals laughed, and Li Luo Zhanyan replied: "If everyone can block your blow, I'm afraid it will make people more suspicious."
"What should we do?" Wu Ta scratched his head and asked in distress.
"If there are rogue bandits, General Wu can do whatever he wants. But when the bandits flee, General Wu can't catch them."
Wu Ta suddenly clasped his fists and said loudly: "So that's what happened, I know."
Several people discussed it again, and Fu Xiushu hurriedly left the tent to deliver orders to various camps.
Mu Tianlang went down the coast. Along the way, the troops were not moving quickly, but they were not slow either. The troops were in great shape, but they seemed a bit arrogant and high-spirited. As expected by Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong, they Linhai went south, and soon after entering Chaosheng Mansion, there were rogue vanguards who harassed and invited battle. Mu Tianlang took advantage of Fenghe Valley's new victory, and his momentum was like a rainbow. He attacked with all his strength whenever there was an invitation to fight. The rogue vanguards fought and retreated, secretly leaving behind They had some spare efforts. Although Li Luo and Shen Xiangdong saw through it, they just pretended that they had not noticed it. They directed the soldiers to encircle them vertically and horizontally, but it was quite impressive. They could almost pass it off as real. If they were not people who knew the details of Mu Tianlang, it would be extremely ugly for a moment. There is a flaw.
The rogue bandits had no intention of fighting, but Mu Tianlang was rather determined to fight to the death. The soldiers pursued him relentlessly, seeming to want to wipe out the rogue bandits.
If the bandits were lazy, Mu Tianlang and the generals would be able to catch up. If the bandits fled, they would just be able to escape Mu Tianlang's pursuers, which is just a hair's breadth away.
The changes in the military formation are also somewhat rigid. The soldiers of each camp cannot be driven as one arm, and there are always one or two flaws, big or small. The vanguard of the rogue bandits can take the opportunity to escape, making it difficult to defeat them all in one fell swoop.
In the prefecture capitals that we passed along the way, when the rogue bandits were wreaking havoc in the countryside, these government officials had hidden away, but now that they saw Mu Tianlang crossing the border, they all hurriedly came out.
Flattery and praise were not a problem, but they suited Mu Tianlang's appetite, and he became more and more arrogant and arrogant. Although some of the commanders in Mu Tianlang's army cherished their wings and did not act unscrupulously, the ostentation was still very grand.
Not only did the officials of the state government bow down to welcome him, Li Luo actually ordered someone to erect a monument as a tribute to praise Mu Tianlang's heroic feats in the Eastern Campaign.
Shen Xiangdong saw this and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. If the bandits hadn't followed the plan and chased him, this move would have made everyone laugh.
Li Luo didn't seem to care much, and he was able to deal with the state officials with ease without revealing any flaws.
This act of publicity really delayed a lot of time. By the time Mu Tianlang's army arrived and set up camp a hundred miles away from the big shopping mall in Dongyan Prefecture, it was already five days later.
Not long after Mu Tianlang set up camp, the bandits in the city learned that someone secretly went to Fishing Bay in Zhoushan Prefecture, Dongyan Prefecture, and burned hundreds of warships moored there.
The soldiers of Mu Tianlang's Yueqi camp came and went like the wind. They stayed for only an hour, but more than 70% of the warships were burned. Even the merchants and fishermen from Liangzhou who had been forcibly recruited by the rogue bandits were casually burned to 70% by the Dagan soldiers. Eighty-eight.
More than half of the warships on board this time were docked at Fishing Bay. Li Luo's ostentatious behavior a few days ago seemed to be just to cover up the Yueqi camp's sneak attack.
When the bandit commander heard about this, he was so angry that he almost lost his temper and cursed Mu Tianlang for his insidious behavior.
After the Yueqi battalion burned down the rogue warships from Zhoushan Prefecture, they immediately headed north, hoping to join forces with Mu Tianlang's two battalions.
The rogue soldiers will become angry due to shame, and the warships will be damaged. I am afraid it will take a long time to replenish enough for the entire rogue army.
Seeing the Yue Qi camp returning north in a hurry, the Dongyan Prefecture bandits hurriedly divided their troops to block the Yue Qi camp. The rest of the army mobilized, hoping to have a life-and-death showdown with Mu Tianlang outside the city.
The rogue army has many advantages. Although seven thousand soldiers were lost in the battle at Fenghe Valley earlier, there are still more than 20,000 rogue soldiers in Dongyan Prefecture. Five thousand soldiers were divided into the delaying Yueqi camp, and the remaining more than 18,000 soldiers were They all raised their troops and went straight to the small shopping mall where Li Luo led his troops.
Outside the small mall.
The army of rogue bandits surrounded Mu Tianlang's soldiers in the city. The east, west, south and north gates of the small mall were heavily guarded by rogue soldiers, intending to annihilate Mu Tianlang's soldiers here.
Although the small shopping mall is called a city, except for each of the four city gates, which has a tower about two feet high, the other city walls are only one foot high at most. They are in disrepair for many years, and they all look crumbling. , what’s more, there are even dilapidated gaps formed after the collapse, and the situation in the city can be seen at a glance.
Looking from the gap, the straw in the interlayer of the city wall is clearly visible. It is now withered, yellow and dry, and turns into dust when touched. It is not a good place for military strategists. (To be continued.)
