The sound of dysprosium flew up, and many soldiers subconsciously raised their heads to watch.
Yin Chang also looked up.
In just these two days, he made the most critical choice in his life, from Li Quan's ally to Ding Haijun's subordinate.
He firmly believed that this choice must be the right one, but the specific details depended on the development of Mingdi after it took off.
The worry hidden on his face was seen by Zhang Rong who was standing beside him.
Yin Chang was born into a tycoon in the private salt industry, while Zhang Rong was the leader of the private salt trade. Their friendship had lasted for more than ten years.
Zhang Rong chuckled and said: "Relax! It's just right for you to see with your own eyes the majesty of our navy!"
Previously, the Ding Navy defeated the Mongolian army in Shandong and Liaodong. Although the momentum was terrifying, it was the Mongolian army that took the knife after all. For the forces surrounding the three states of Denglai, this kind of performance was surprising, but not terrifying.
Among the people who can gather strength in this world, who doesn’t have a little bit of courage and a little bit of unruly temperament?
Outstanding heroes like Li Quan were inspired by the prestige of Ding Haijun to fight, and then decided to cooperate with the Hebei Jin Army to counter Ding Haijun's expansion momentum.
However, as the war progressed, Ding Haijun's troops on the south route swept through Mizhou and Juzhou. Now they had penetrated deep into Yizhou and were about to reach Haizhou and hit the Southern Song Dynasty. And the main force on the west route was even more terrifying.
, it’s okay to capture many cities and military states. Yidu Mansion, which has long been the headquarters of the Shandong Tongjun Division, is such a strong city, equipped with thousands of elite soldiers, it only lasted for one day!
All Li's men were frightened and frightened.
How is it possible? How did the navy do it?
Liu Qingfu is a veteran general that everyone is familiar with. He is by no means incompetent, and his subordinates are by no means weak. Not to mention, there are also soldiers sent by Pusan Anzhen to help.
They were defeated simply and inexplicably!
Li Quan had previously abandoned Weizhou, Zizhou and other places one after another. What he said to his subordinates was to induce the main force of the Ding Navy to move forward, and when it was exhausted under Yidu City, he would join forces with the Hebei Jin Army to counterpress back. Not only
To regain the lost territory, we will also take everyone to the three states of Denglai to eat and drink.
However, Yidu City was lost in one day, and Ding Haijun continued to advance, directly blocking the Beiqing River. So, what is the significance of Li Quan's previous statement? Isn't that a joke? Who are you trying to deceive?
Li Quan's army was composed of many local tycoons who had their own strength. The hometowns of these local tycoons changed hands, and the fighting spirit of his troops was shaken.
Later, there was new news... Pusan Anzhen was going to negotiate with Guo Ning?
It is impossible to get back what is exported on the battlefield just by talking. Warriors know this truth best.
However, the people of Hebei are foreigners anyway. They can only gain a little more benefit or a little less benefit, and there will be no loss no matter what.
Who will suffer the loss? Is there any need to ask?
This situation was a terrible blow to Li Quan's prestige.
Li Quan is a very smart man. He knows that this situation must not continue. Only a victory that can turn things around can save the situation. Otherwise, there is no other way. So he made a bold decision to take advantage of the situation.
His prestige was still there, so he led his troops to raid the negotiation site between Guo Ning and Pusan Anzhen.
Of course, this blatantly risky operation itself will raise new doubts.
Li Quan couldn't care so much. He chose to act as quickly as possible, and victory or defeat depended on a moment. In this case, even if his subordinates had doubts, they would not have time to turn them into actual actions. After the success of this raid, his own prestige would inevitably skyrocket, and the loyalty of his subordinates would not be guaranteed.
shake.
His judgment was not wrong at all, and his decision was worthy of his status as a hero.
While his power was still there, his subordinates really had no choice but to cooperate and take risks.
But Yin Chang had other choices.
Strictly speaking, Yin Chang is not even an ally of Li Quan, but a member of the Red Coat Army and a partner of Yang An'er. He joined Li Quan in raising an army last year because of Yang An'er's call.
Later, Li Quan himself was entrenched in the military states in the northeastern part of Shandong, and he was like a semi-independent branch of the Red Coat Army. Yin Chang was Li Quan's subordinate in name, but in fact, he was used by Yang An'er to check and balance Li Quan.
A chess piece.
No matter how you say it, Yang An'er is also the leader of the rebel bandit who is powerful throughout Shandong. This political method is absolutely indispensable.
But since Yang An'er died, the Red Coat Army regime fell into pieces. Why should Yin Chang follow Li Quan into the dark side?
The Red Coat Army and the Jurchens had been hostile to each other for so many years. When Yin Chang was in charge of the Binzhou Army, he only had a weak relationship with the Jurchens. But as soon as Li Quan saw that the situation was not right, he directly defected to the Hebei Xuanfu Envoy of the Jurchens and brought him with him.
Tens of thousands of people fought side by side with him... How could this be called Yin Changqing's shame?
He really couldn't accept it!
Even if you have to join a powerful force, do you have to choose to leave Anzhen? Aren't Geng Ge, Shi Poli and others living a good life under Guo Ning, the military commander of the Dinghai Navy?
These two people were both Yang An'er's former subordinates and held high positions in the Ding Navy. In the past year, Yin Chang often exchanged secret letters with them and listened to them talk about various developments in the three states of Denglai.
Since the beginning of this year, he has also met several times with Zhang Rong, Guo Ning's right-hand man. Zhang Rong did not deliberately win over each other. The topics discussed by the two parties never had anything to do with military affairs. They just used Ding Haijun's maritime trade routes to secretly reach some salt industry deals.
Cooperation from above.
All these contacts accumulated over time, but the balance in Yin Chang's heart continued to waver.
As the situation continued to deteriorate, Li Quan was still ambitious and unwilling to succumb to Guo Ning, so his ideas became more and more beautiful, and his planned strategies became more and more dangerous.
Yin Chang saw all this.
At the same time, Zhang Rong was sent to Binzhou by the Ding Navy Recording Department and came to see him again, prompting Yin Chang to make the opposite decision from Li Quan.
Compared with Li Quan, who was born in Yidu and Weizhou, Yin Chang is a local ghost near Binzhou. Once he makes up his mind, there are too many things he can do.
When Li Quan led his troops across the Beiqing River and worked hard to sneak through the complex terrain, he had lost the qualification to be regarded as an opponent by Guo Ning.
Pusan Anzhen turned her head and looked around.
To his surprise, the Ming Dy flew up and fell again. There were no special changes around the Tieling Platform. But thousands of elites under Li Quan trudged through the muddy water, shouting and coming like a tide. They held their heads high.
The long sword that was hanging reflected the sunlight, just like the white waves rising from the top of the wave.
They were getting closer and closer, and some of the soldiers at the front had already stepped onto solid ground, and their speed suddenly accelerated.
Pusan Anzhen saw Li Quan's figure. Even from a distance, he seemed to be able to feel Li Quan's stubborn and fierce eyes. He saw someone running among the enemy troops, preparing their bows and arrows.
There were still about two miles between the two sides, so arrows could not be shot for the time being, but it never hurt to prepare early. So the soldiers guarding around the platform took their shields and lined up shoulder to shoulder.
"Ahem..." Pusan Anzhen felt his throat was a little dry, so he asked Guo Ning: "Where is the prestige? Where is the prestige?"
"Over there." Guo Ning pointed.
The direction indicated by Guo Ning was on the other side of the Beiqing River, in the direction of Anding Town, where Li Quan's troops had set up camp. In addition to the elite troops who followed Li Quan, he had tens of thousands of men, as well as old and small camps housing the family members of the army.
over there.
Li Quan's troops marched in the reed swamps yesterday, covering a full twenty or thirty miles of arduous journey. However, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of Pusan Anzhen's sentries, they deliberately made a large circle around the camp and Tieling platform.
The straight-line distance is actually only about five or six miles, not very far.
But it's not close. Even if Pusan Anzhen tried his best to look around, he could only see a continuous gray fortress, like a silhouette.
At this time, behind the continuous silhouette, undulating waves suddenly appeared.
The scale of this wave was more than ten times greater than what Li Quan saw in front of him! It was more than ten times more violent!
In an instant, the wave surged into the silhouette, reverberating wildly. The entire camp where Li Quan was led was stirred up into a mess of flames and chaos.
