Chapter 105: Night Battle
Xihu was prepared, Xijiang is located in the west of Southern Chu, the geographical location is too remote, the conditions are bad, there is no army stationed all the year round, before Rong Yuan came, the Southern Chu side was completely in a weak position.
He had only been here for more than seven days, but he had stubbornly broken a war that was clearly a definite defeat into a draw, so he was admired by many officers and soldiers. They thought that there was nothing in the capital, but now that they saw his great enemy in front of him, he was calm and strategic, and he really felt that he was a brilliant talent.
The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, but Xihu couldn't hold it back, and the battle suddenly became urgent the next day after Yurong came.
"Report, Rong Shuai, the number of Xihu Naval Army has suddenly doubled, and they are advancing along the Ruijiang River towards Tingyang Lake!" A large soldier entered the tent camp to report.
"According to their marching speed, I'm afraid they will enter Tingyang Lake tonight!"
"The area around Tingyang Lake is already difficult to defend, and Xihu's abacus is not bad!"
Vice General Lin unfolded the map of the Xijiang River, and the generals looked anxious, Tingyang Lake can be described as the gateway of the Xijiang River, once the Xihu army is allowed to enter Tingyang Lake, then according to their strong troops, it will be like a fish in water, and the Xijiang River will definitely be easy to attack and difficult to defend at that time.
Rong Yuan's white jade-like fingertips were pointed at the mouth of the intersection of Tingyang Lake and Ruijiang River, and slowly crossed the Ruijiang area. Looking at the several main generals present, everyone was shocked by his eyes for a while, and they all stopped talking.
He said loudly: "Men should kill the enemy and defend the country, now Xihu has invaded our land, although the strength is invincible, but you still need to resist to the end." ”
"Resist to the end!"
"That's right! Fuck it, these barbarians can't do it! ”
For a while, morale was greatly boosted.
"In this way, the defense will be deployed along the Ruijiang River, General Li will lead a fleet of ships to guard the front, and Vice General Lin will assist the left flank······" Rong Yuan pointed his finger on the map and arranged them one by one.
Vice General Lin was a little hesitant, and it wasn't until Rong Yuan finished speaking that he spoke: "Rong Shuai, the last general feels that this seems inappropriate. There is already a huge disparity between our forces and Xihu, and fighting like this is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and seeking a dead end. ”
Rong Yuan's eyes were a little cold: "Surprise attack unprepared, isn't this the surprise when it is dark?" ”
"But Rong Shuai, we're defending, not attacking!" Vice General Lin was very emotional.
As soon as he said this, several generals in the camp also wrinkled their eyebrows and looked at each other a few times, and finally their eyes fell on Rong Yuan.
"Rong Shuai's strategy has been in everyone's eyes for a few days, and Vice General Lin is questioning whether Rong Shuai is successful? Whoever dares to disobey the military order on the battlefield will be the first to behead him! General Li said, glared at Vice General Lin meaningfully, and said to Rongyuan with a fist: "The last general will take the order!" Then he took the tabernacle and went out.
A deep smile appeared in Rong Yuan's eyes, and he said slowly: "Don't worry, everyone, ······."
The sun was scorching, and the officers and men in the barracks all looked grim and came and went in a hurry.
"Scheduled?" Yurong saw Rong Yuan enter the camp tent, so he greeted him.
Rong Yuan chuckled: "Hmm." It's suffocating in the tent, isn't it? ”
"Generally average. Rong Yuan, why did the emperor send you to the battlefield? ”
"I probably think I'm a rare all-rounder." Rong Yuan looked at her with a serious face.
Yurong glanced at him: "I don't know if I am calculated by the people under my nose, and I dare to say that I am a civil and military all-rounder?" ”
Rong Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't expect Tu Weiguo's hand to stretch out so far, I'm afraid he can't wait." ”
Yurong glanced at Rong Yuan, and his thoughts were also complicated. In the world of the Nanmen family, who has some feelings in it, they seem to be indifferent, but they are enemies.
On the one hand, Nanmen Boyu does not trust, and on the other hand, Tu Weiguo is constantly digging pits. It's tiring to be quiet when a wall grass.
"What is Rong'er thinking?" Rong Yuan looked at her worriedly and asked.
Yurong sighed, didn't hide it, and told what she thought in her heart.
Rong Yuan hugged her into his arms, his eyes were distant: "Isn't the answer always in your heart?" Yu Yangzhi, you must have figured it out, right? ”
Yurong raised his hand to cover his mouth, shook his head and said, "Rong Yuan, don't say it, I don't want to listen to it now, I, I'm a little tired." ”
"Okay, if you don't listen, you won't listen."
The two of them just hugged each other, and neither of them spoke anymore.
It's night.
The dew is heavy, the reeds in the shallows of the Ruijiang River gently sway in the wind, and the white feathers fan out the charming warmth in the dark night.
The water of Tingyang Lake is rippling, a full moon is reflected in the water, and with the blue waves swaying one after another, the hazy dusk yellow seems to dye the entire lake.
The river is wide, and there are big ships hidden on both sides, and there is no light. The soldiers on the ship were all on standby, not daring to relax for a moment. From time to time, there were a few black bird chirpings, and the atmosphere became more and more eerie.
The Xihu warships were huge, one by one, silently walking on the Ruijiang River at night like a ghost.
"Give the order to go down and speed up. It is necessary to enter Tingyang Lake before the time of the day. "On the warship, a white man with silver helmet and gold armor is very majestic.
"General, sailing at night, and moving forward in the dark without lighting candles, I'm afraid..."
"Do as you are told!" The man frowned, very displeased.
"Yes!"
For a while, the boat was more urgent.
The back section of the Ruijiang River.
Looking at the turbulent ripples on the river, Vice General Lin lowered his voice and instructed the herald beside him: "Fight the flag, beat the drum and prepare, and prepare for battle!" ”
When the warship headed by Xihu arrived at the mouth of Tingyang Lake, the white man frowned: "Something is wrong! ”
"General, could it be that there is a problem with the intelligence of Nan Chu's surname Li?" The military advisor beside him.
"Sure enough, I underestimated Rong Yuan!" As soon as the man's voice fell, there was already fire jumping around, drums ringing, and shouting. According to the previous battle plan, most of the warships of Xihu have been scattered to both sides of the Ruijiang River to attack the Nanchu warships ambushed there, and those who entered the mouth of Tingyang Lake are all command warships carrying generals.
As soon as Xihu's boat entered Tingyang Lake, Vice General Lin commanded a huge warship to cross the mouth of the lake, which was dangerous and narrow, and only allowed one boat to enter and exit.
Yurong stood beside Rong Yuan, looked at the scene in front of him and smiled: "Rong Shuai, hurry up and beat the water dog!" ”
"Rong'er is naughty again!" Rong Yuan smiled, and then looked at the Xihu warship that was trapped in the middle of Tingyang Lake, with a grim expression.
The Xihu army has no leader, and it is already powerless to return to the sky, and the soldiers of Southern Chu are all inspired by Rong Yuan's divine calculation, and their morale is high, and they are fighting to invite the king into the urn, and this battle is naturally won very beautifully.
In Xiliang City, there are more legends of Rong Shuai in the first battle of Tingyang Lake, and the main general of Xihu was captured in the first battle, and the geographical location was skillfully used to win more with less, and the people almost regarded Rong Yuan as a god-like existence in their hearts.
Outside the barracks, singing and dancing, the people laughed and talked about victory. The atmosphere in the barracks was not so pleasant.
