Chapter 104: The Wind Rises
"Therefore, the capital is lost in the shore grass, looking at Changhuai, still around the lonely city. I want to be young in black clothes, Zhilan has beautiful hair, and Ge Ji is horizontal. Sit and watch the proud soldiers cross to the south, and the boiling waves are terrifying. Turn to the east and look forward to success.
At the foot of Bagong Mountain for thousands of years, there are still cliffs and grasses, and they are far away. The clouds are full of waves, and there is nowhere to ask Haoying. Faith in labor, empty into the present and the ancient, laugh at me, what is the sadness. Dongshan is old, but it is too late, and he listens to Huan Zheng alone. ”
In the study room of the Yamen of the Commander, Wang Lixin muttered Ye Mengde's eight-tone Ganzhou, and his fingers unconsciously flicked a stack of papers on the case, which was the final draft of the plan sent by Liu Yu. He flipped through it a little and put it on the case, his energy was low, and he didn't want to use his own thinking to disturb the thoughts of the juniors.
The top piece of paper only wrote the three words "Bagong Mountain", at a glance you know that it is definitely not from Liu Yu's hand, thinking of this young man's words, Wang Lixin wants to laugh a little, so far in addition to his own name can still be seen, the other words are written like a three-year-old child graffiti.
The boys have such great ambitions, Wang Lixin is a little envious of their daring to think and do, but unfortunately this is not the Southern Dynasty, think about the Jin people at that time who were united and hated the enemy, what about the millions of Qin soldiers, and what about the whip and breaking the stream. But at present, there are only tens of thousands of remnants in Jiankang City, even with the help of Li Tingzhi's Huai soldiers, it is difficult to break the enemy in one battle.
There is too little time, even if it is another year, he is confident that he can train a "Beifu soldier". A year? Wang Lixin smiled bitterly and shook his head, he didn't have so much time, "Dongshan is old, it's too late", he took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose and stood up, walked to the open window, looked at the flowers in the courtyard, and didn't know where to fly.
"Do you want to release it in the name of the Recruitment Division this time?" Wang Lin knocked on the door and came in, looked at the stack of papers on the bookcase, and estimated that his father might have read it.
"Wait and see, if you lose, it will be the same as before, if you win, you will be sent directly after the Jie Medal, and the old man will not be involved." Wang Lixin's eyes didn't move, and the brightness outside the window attracted him like a magnet, and he couldn't see enough.
Wang Lin reflexively went out and gently closed the door, and sighed secretly in his heart, he had already entrusted the errand in his hand to go out, and concentrated on waiting for the old man at home, no one knew his father's mind better than him.
"Song people?" Hearing the report of the pawn on the sentry boat, the face of General Zhaoyi and Zhang Rongshi of the Navy was cloudy, and under the nose of his water village, the flag of the Song Army suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, he looked up at the sky, the day was clear, the sky was clear, what kind of trouble was this?
He didn't order someone to tell Boyan immediately, but decided to take a look for himself, although he was a northerner, Zhang Rongshi was familiar with water since he was a child, and he boasted that he would never lose to those southerners. At the sound of an order, his boat began to turn, and at this moment there was no wind, and it was driven by the force of the pulp.
Before sailing to the center of the river, Zhang Rongshi had already seen the flags lined up on the other side from behind the half-height female wall of the boat, and it was inferred from this alone that there should be tens of thousands of troops coming. Getting closer, the large and small boats moored on the bank of the river were also revealed, and he could see that there were hundreds of them at a glance.
"Yu Wanhu, the flag is on the bucket, the Song people have already noticed it, should we go further?" A military academy walked briskly to the deck of the ship's second building and asked Zhang Rongshi respectfully.
"Signal the whole army, put the whole army on alert, step forward a little more, slow down a little. The whistle on the fight is clear who the flag on the shore is, and there is no need to fight. At this time, Zhang Rongshi also saw that the warships of the Song people began to move, and he only brought his own boat and more than 100 small boats to escort him, and he did not want to start a war immediately.
Following Zhang Rongshi's order, the sergeants on the ship began to move, and the crossbowmen, who had long been standing behind the battlements, took out their arrows, the sides of the hull and the bow of the ship were pulled up, the huge stone rollers tied to them were raised high, and the small catapults on the deck were also placed with stone bullets so that they could be fired on standby.
When there were still dozens of feet away from the river bank, the warships of the Song people had already completed their assembly, and hundreds of large and small ships discharged a horizontal formation, pressing out like a giant bird spreading its wings, Zhang Rongshi could already see the men in uniform on the big boat first, and the eyes of the two collided together across the river.
"Command, do you want to fight or not?" On a large ship in front of the Song army's large array, looking at the slowly approaching enemy troops, a personal soldier couldn't help but ask.
"No, just force it over with this goose formation, if he doesn't retreat, then it's okay to eat it." Su Liuyi's words were very brief, his eyes stared at the enemy general on the boat without blinking, the enemy came too little, it was not like deliberately luring the enemy, the wind had not yet risen, and the battle at the moment was a fight for manpower, but if the enemy ship really wanted to be outnumbered, he would not mind accepting this big gift.
"The flag is raised on the shore, the army is ready, and the commander can let it go." Hearing the words of the signal soldier, Su Liuyi nodded, waved his hand, the whistle in the flag bucket on the mast received the order, and immediately played the flag, and the heads of the troops on his boat began to run and shout, and the wrestlers stepped on the rollers, and the speed of the huge wheels on both sides of the hull began to speed up, and the river water that was foaming at the white foam was split.
Seeing that the Song people began to speed up and approach, the sergeants on Zhang Rongshi's boat were all nervous, but he himself was unaware of it, until the big array was about to collide, and he waved his hand with regret on his face. The soldiers on the side breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately passed down the order, and all the ships began to spin sideways, and completed the turn in front of the Song people's eyes, and then accelerated to retreat towards the way they came.
Su Liuyi also had some regrets in his heart, the enemy general was an expert, and he was very bold, and this trip was just to watch the situation. If you keep chasing after it, maybe it will really become a lure to the enemy, and the formation has already approached Jiangxin, so there is no need to chase it further.
"Reverse, return to the camp, and patrol the ship's hall, and take this place as the boundary." Su Liuyi calmly gave the order, and the navy army formation began to slow down and retreat, and after a while, the entire large array turned around and sailed in the opposite direction.
His boat landed behind the entire formation, slowly turning, and before the speed could rise, the big ship seemed to stop in the middle of the river. Su Liuyi's eyes were still looking at the enemy formation that had gone away, and suddenly he felt a trace of coolness on his face, and he reached out to touch it, and there was a hint of river breeze in the water droplets.
"General, look, the wind is blowing!" Hearing the exclamation of the soldiers, Zhang Rongshi, who was about to enter the cabin, turned around suddenly, and the big flag on the river bank in the distance was blown away by the wind, embroidered with a big "Li" character on it.
Receiving the military report sent by Zhang Rongshi, Boyan was not surprised, he already knew when he let people cross the river, but Yangzhou was only two days away, and it took so long for these reinforcements to arrive, and the Song people were really slow to act.
There is nothing difficult to guess who comes, Li Tingzhi, the ambassador of the two Huai systems, an old opponent, this person is still a good general, and the Huai soldiers under his command are also strong soldiers. Finally there was a field battle to fight, and Boyan, who was a little annoyed by the strange tricks of the city guards, was in high spirits and began to think about countermeasures in his heart.
Looking at this posture, the Song people should not attack it, so they can only cross the river by themselves. Almost in an instant, Boyan drew up the candidate for the main general, Ah Shu had been idle for a long time, and was holding his breath, and then transferred two Han army 10,000 troops to him, so that with Zhang Rongshi's army, it was enough to fight.
In the besieging army, most of the military strength of the Yuan people was concentrated outside the west gate and the south gate, and Boyan did not plan to use the Han army outside the west gate, but transferred two thousand troops from the command of Dong Wenbing at the south gate, and the return artillery arranged in front of the position also had to be deployed along the river after the callback.
This was a good opportunity to take the heads of the reinforcements and the captives around the city, which was more effective than any blow, and after a few great battles, even if it was a water battle, he did not hesitate at all, and walked out of his big tent, and the position in the distance had already begun to move with his orders, and the whole battalion seemed to be rejuvenated.
"Don't move this flag, just follow me." Boyan pointed to the towering flagpole in front of the tent, and walked towards the dock without stopping, and a group of personal soldiers followed closely, he wanted to watch Ah Shu break the enemy from his boat.
On the high place of Shishou Mountain, in order to see more realistically, Li Shiyi climbed a big tree that crossed the mountain, and below him was a bottomless cliff, and the whole person seemed to be hanging in mid-air, but he didn't care at all. He slept comfortably in the bag sent by Taishou last night, and today he had to keep an eye on it from now on, because the action was about to begin.
In addition to food and use, Taishou brought them a strangely shaped clairvoyant mirror, which was not the same as the one in his hand, and his eyes were a long straight tube before, according to the method taught to him, Li Shiyi suddenly found that this thing could actually see the distance at night, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
From early morning to noon, there was finally movement in the Tartar camp, and a group of foot soldiers came from outside the camp, but did not enter the camp, but assembled near the dock. Li Shiyi turned around and carefully observed the camp outside the city, but found that there was no movement there, these foot soldiers were transferred from elsewhere, and then turned to the back, Boyan's big pole was still in place.
He silently counted the number of flags in his sight until no new foot soldiers arrived, almost 20,000 people, and the dock in the camera was like a forest. Li Shiyi's eyes left the telescope and cast it into the distance of the river, and his heart jumped suddenly, the target of these people was the opposite bank, and Li Tingzhi's Huai soldiers moved.
"Tell the Taishou, the river, the wind rises, and the words are finished." Li Shiyi sat up the horizontal branch, held the branch with one hand, took out the walkie-talkie from his arms with the other, and pressed the launch button.
