Zhao Xun's troops received a report of the horse before they arrived in Anqiu County, Gaomi Prefecture, and Anqiu County had been taken down by the Ninth Mansion. Zhao Xun was shocked when he heard about it. The Ninth Mansion was by Qingzhou Beihai
When the prefecture attacks Gaomi Prefecture, the two counties should be Chang'an and Ping'an. How could it take Anqiu to the east?
After entering Anqiu County and meeting with the Ninth Mansion, Zhao Xun met the generals of the Ninth Mansion. After asking, he realized that a few days ago, the Ninth Mansion was attacking Ping'an County, and then he went to Anqiu.
, Chang'an, Ping'an, all the guards in the territory evacuated and left the southern part of Gaomi Prefecture.
Upon hearing the return of the Ninth Palace, Zhao Xun and Wei Dong looked at each other. Zhao Xun couldn't help but sigh: "Tang Xian is so decisive and neat, throwing us the four unguarded southern counties to concentrate their forces to the north."
Wei Dongdao: "Does he want to fight our lives and death with our army in the four northern counties? Although it is convenient to connect Donglai Prefecture and the guard army is mobilized, Lingzhou Prefecture in the south of Donglai Prefecture is now in the hands of our army, and he cannot
If you don't want to be careful, he will fall into a situation of fighting on both sides."
"Don't worry about him, and order the entire army to move north and enter Xiami County to see Tang Xian's reaction." Zhao Xun said distractedly. It is war or harmony. Now the initiative is in his own hands. What is there?
It was just that Tang Xian gathered 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Donglai Prefecture and Gaomi Prefecture. He fought hard and suffered a lot of casualties.
..............
The troops on the road and the ground fought melee, either defending or attacking. There were also naval troops busy in the waters east of Qingzhou.
The meaning of the Xiaoguo Army will cut off the supply from the Qingzhou Guards and the outside world. The supply on the road is very easy to block. Now Qingzhou and the encirclement area are surrounded by all sides, let alone the Qingzhou Guards. The rest is waterways, and the eastern part of Qingzhou is vast and endless.
In the sea, the guards can purchase materials for transportation. The Qingzhou navy's mission is naturally to intercept passing merchant ships.
Because at the beginning of the war, the Xiaoguo Army had organized large-scale blockades, but because the Qingzhou Navy was in the northern part of Qingzhou and the Guards were in the south, the effect was not very obvious. Now the Qingzhou Navy is in the south, the Guards are in the north, and the Water is in the north.
The army naturally needs to intercept all merchant ships that may provide supplies to the guards. Don’t underestimate merchants. No business is a traitor. These people dare to do things that lose their heads for the sake of profit, let alone ignore the regulations of the Xiaoguo Army. They were originally stationed in the east.
The Qingzhou navy at Donghai Port in Lin County has now gotten rid of the matter of transporting the army and began to strengthen the blockade of the sea.
According to the rough information collected from other merchants before, there are dozens or hundreds of merchant ships passing by the eastern waters of Qingzhou every day, from south to north. Merchant ships in Youzhou and Jizhou in the north are supervised by Youzhou naval army.
The Qingzhou Navy was responsible for the merchant ships heading north in the south, so that the guards located in the middle would not receive external supplies.
Qingzhou naval forces wanted to block them, which was easy to say, but in fact it was easy to do it seriously. The water surface was different from the land, and there were no fast horses or flying pigeons, and it was very difficult to transmit information between ships. Even if a certain whistle was discovered, it was discovered.
It is also very difficult to gather other ships. There is no long-distance communication method for these ships. It is very difficult to connect with each other on the vast ocean, and sometimes it can only be
Summon other sea ships with the explosion of thunder.
The sea area is so large and there are many people coming and going, but it is not easy to intercept it on the boundless sea. In addition, merchant ships deliberately avoid it, it is even more difficult.
After receiving the order from Zhao Xun's military, some naval soldiers assisted in the construction of the military port in Donglin County, while some were on a boat to move on the sea for several days. The three or four consecutive days were started, except for some normal merchant ships, the rest were also
No gains were made.
Until the fifth day, a part of the Qingzhou Navy discovered a fleet that was far away from Qingzhou, and was drifting in a large circle toward the north. The navy warships passed by the calm water surface and brought layers.
The ripples of the layer. Five Qingzhou naval warships rushed towards the target from all directions, like a group of hungry wolves rushing towards tigers. Their targets were four sea ships from north to south.
Any ship from the south to Shanghai needs to pay taxes in Lingzhou Prefecture, which is equivalent to customs. After payment, a small flag with a number and a tax bill corresponding to the flag number are issued. Merchant ships moving from the north to the south need to
Only by completing similar procedures at the sea outlet can you enter the sea. At the same time, they are protected by the navy in the sea.
But after seeing the Xiaoguo Army Navy patrol ship, these four sea ships not only kept stopping, but fled. The three-masted patrol ship immediately released the thunder and called on the surrounding warships to chase them.
In just half an hour, four three-masted three-layer warships came behind these four sea ships.
In order to prevent them from scattering and escaping, at the beginning, the navy was not chasing them very quickly. The masts of these four large merchant ships were all hung with the Canglong Banner of Yan. Their waterline was very deep, and the surging waves were almost about to rush.
When we arrived on the deck of the merchant ship, we could tell at a glance that their ships had a load capacity that had been extended to their limit.
On the Yanyun, Li Yin, the captain of the Light Train, raised the Xiaoguo Military Craftsman's homemade monocular telescope and observed the other party from a distance. The goal of the monocular telescope was clear, and even the sailors above looked at the panic of the panic.
It's clear. This is a temporary land-mounted weapon on the ship. It seems that it is definitely not an ordinary merchant ship. It's just that the sailors above did not have unified command after discovering the Xiaoguo Army warship. I believe they are not professional combat sailors.
Then, then
It is obvious that the first transaction of the Qingzhou naval army is about to open. Li Yin put down his telescope and called out a signal to accelerate the pursuit. The flag bearer kept waving the flag to inform other warships around him to prepare for acceleration. At the same time, he also released a
A thunder in the sky notified the warships ahead to intercept.
Almost silent, two of the warships accelerated suddenly and quickly inserted from both sides, clamping the four merchant ships left and right. The two warships were equipped with the latest large crossbow and a catapult.
The tense murderous aura of the plane, even if it is separated by the lake, people on the four merchant ships can feel it. The masts of these two warships are also hung with large Xiaoguo Army battle flags. If these four ships
The merchant ships had not realized that if the Xiaoguo Navy wanted to attack him, it would be a fool.
Sure enough, the four merchant ships from the south realized something was wrong and subconsciously accelerated the speed. They wanted to get rid of the blockage of the Xiaoguo Army warships, but their load was too large, and the waterline was very deep, so it was very difficult to accelerate.
Things. After a while, the two warships blocked their way from the front. The water army on the warships used their flags to stop the ship immediately. Only then did the four sea ships realize that the speed they had maintained before was not impossible to catch up with
, but to call friends.
The merchant ship made a quick decision and immediately turned slowly, turned a big bend on the sea, trying to escape eastward. However, at this time, in the eastern sky, several hazy shadows of warships appeared in front of them.
Come towards you. No need to see, the flame Qilin flag hanging on the warship told everyone that the Qingzhou navy warships were at that time. After a moment, three three-masted warships lined up in a row and intercepted them in front, making it clear
He told them correctly that the road was blocked. Finally, in desperation, the four merchant ships had to slow down slowly.
The navy warship approached them from all corners of the world, and at the same time, a huge warship suddenly appeared in their sight. The warship was more than twenty feet long, more than ten feet high, and six masts,
Each one is fifteen meters high. There are guardrails like women's walls around the warship. This is the five-story large ship of the Xiaoguo Army Navy. The ship is divided into five layers and is the most powerful warship today.
Looking from a distance, you can clearly see the catapults and large crossbows on the deck of the building ship. Everyone on the merchant ship changed color quietly. This is the real giant warship! In Yangzhou, this is how it is.
They also knew about the warships. Fortunately, they did not use the weapons on the ship to fight back, otherwise, they might have been sunk below the seabed at this time.
Flames and Qilin flags were all flying on the warships in front, back and left and right. Everyone on the merchant ship naturally understood the other party's identity and purpose. Faced with this fierce situation, they could only obey.
The four merchant ships were finally forced to stop completely and stopped helplessly on the slightly rippling sea surface. The Yanyun battleship slowly approached and boarded the other side's side. Only a few sounds could be heard.
A flying flask was thrown out vigorously and threw it onto the merchant ship, hooking the merchant ship's deck guardrail. The fully armed naval sailor quickly jumped onto the other party's ship and controlled all four merchant ships. All the merchant ships were on the merchant ship
All the people were escorted to the deck. Perhaps because of the load too much, when the Qingzhou naval soldiers jumped over, the lake water kept pounced on the deck, as if they would sink at any time.
Li Yin put away the telescope in his hand, walked slowly to the side of the ship, looked at the four captured merchant ships, and coldly judged the identities of these people.
The four merchant ships were all armed, but they did not fight back. Obviously, they knew very well that using such temporary weapons to fight against the Qingzhou Navy warships was undoubtedly a way to die. Since they could realize this, they must not be.
Ordinary merchant ships, at least, should know the new policies of Qingzhou naval army in the eastern waters of Qingzhou.
The armed forces on the ship were all temporarily added, not pirates. But the other party refused to go to the port of Donglin County to pay taxes, that is, they were not going to Youzhou and Jizhou. Otherwise, when they approach Youzhou and Jizhou, they would
All finances were confiscated by the Youzhou naval army, including sea ships.
"Let the other party's person in charge come over!" Li Yin said coldly. In short, these people are not good things. The ship is either the supplies transported to the guards or some contraband items. For example, the weapons, iron and other items are transported to the north privately.
Zhuhu and Silla and other places.
A moment later, a middle-aged man was taken to Li Yin. Although his expression was panicked, his eyes were extremely stable. Li Yin knew that this guy was not simple.
Li Yin sneered and said gloomyly: "Where comes from?"
The middle-aged man with a graceful face said calmly: "Yangzhou..."
Li Yin shouted: "Where are you going in Yangzhou...?"
The middle-aged man replied: "Youzhou!"
Li Yin said coldly: "Go to Youzhou? Why are you equipped with crossbows and other weapons on the merchant ship?"
"Fear of pirates robbing..."
Li Yin sneered: "So, are you treating our warships as pirates?"
The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I dare not...I dare not..."
"Don't dare?" Li Yin said in a slight manner: "Why did you flee in a hurry when you saw our warship? Also, if you ask you to stop the ship, you will still run wildly. Don't play tricks in front of me, otherwise,
You go to this sea to be a water ghost.”
The middle-aged man's face changed and he said calmly: "How dare I play tricks in front of the general? I did not deceive the general! Previously... I just didn't realize that you were the Xiaoguo Army warships for a while."
Li Yin pulled out the horizontal knife with a squeak, and the cold blade pressed against his neck: "Do you really want to be a water ghost under the sea?"
The coldness on the blade penetrated through the bone marrow. The middle-aged man dared not say anything again. After a long time, he said with difficulty: "No...I don't want to!"
Li Yin put away his knife and said coldly: "If you don't want to, just cooperate with me honestly and answer my question. This lieutenant doesn't have that good patience to play with you."
Middle-aged people dare not say anything.
Han Liyin said again: "What's your name?"
The middle-aged man said, "Yang Wen!"
"Where?"
The middle-aged man didn't say anything for a moment, and Li Yin immediately held his hand on the hilt of the knife. The middle-aged man said in a trembling voice: "Xuzhou!"
"Where did you come from?" Li Yin asked in a lost voice.
"Xuzhou!" the middle-aged man paused and said in a stern voice.
"Xuzhou Army! Are you the Xuzhou Army's fleet?" Li Yin asked with his eyes narrowed. His right hand, holding the hilt of the knife, couldn't help but tighten.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Yes..."
Li Yin was stunned. He understood that it seemed that this was a big deal and needed to be reported.
