Chapter 30: Overseer, I Miss You
Leng Qingtang put on an inky brocade robe, kicked his fast boots to open the hatch, and walked to the deck.
In the middle of summer, the air over the sea was still damp and cold, and it was pitch black all around.
Min Rui stood on the bow of the ship with his hands in his hands, and the cowhide lantern hanging on the mast behind him swayed in the wind, and the light and shadow floated.
Leng Qingtang stepped forward with his fists clenched:
"It's late at night, and the prince hasn't rested yet?"
Min Rui's eyes were calm and distant, and his complexion showed a hint of coldness:
"The sailors can arrive in Qiongyang before sunrise, and the time is extremely beneficial to our army, this king suggests that the war be waged directly against the Anguo sailors, I don't know what the governor thinks?"
Leng Qingtang waved his hand and said humbly:
"Although the governor is a supervisor of the army, he is less than half the experience of leading troops, and he also asks the grandfather of the country to give advice."
Min Rui smiled:
"Overseer is too humble, please go to the cabin for a while."
Leng Qingtang led the way: "Please." β
Sitting on the table, Min Rui ordered the military service to hold the lamp, spread out the sea map and discuss the battle with Leng Qingtang.
"In naval warfare, the fight is for the strength of the firearms of both sides, not for the manpower. The distance is too close, the artillery attacks the enemy fleet, and it is difficult to hit it with one hit, you see this ......"
His finger landed somewhere on the chart, tapping repeatedly:
"This is the Wanli Stone Pond, where Anguo Haiphong is located, and it is a good place to fight on the sea! Mo Ruo first sent 200 ships, each with 10 Mengchong ships and 3 Anguo naval forces.
The building ship is equipped with bronze cannons and firearms, and the Mengchong ship has Franc rapid-fire machines and catapults. The Angolan ship is small, and it is projected with fireballs, and it is impossible for the thief ship to escape the bad luck of burning.
As long as you capture the entire water division and land in Anguo from the stone pond, it is as easy as a snap! β
Leng Qingtang listened carefully and couldn't help but admire. In terms of field combat, Min Guogong really has his own unique side.
He is Gu Yunyao's biological father, but twenty-five years ago, he also participated in the conspiracy to persecute the former emperor.
In the past, Leng Qingtang did not have a trace of mercy for his enemies, but when he faced Min Rui at this moment, his heart was slightly shaken.
Leng Qingtang knew that his hesitation not only came from his admiration for Min Rui's talent, but also from the deep sisterhood between Yunxi and Yunyao......
ββ
When it was not dawn, the Dongqing Division arrived at the Shitang sea area of Qiongyang Wanli as planned, and thousands of warships showed their true bodies in the dark night.
Immediately, the curtain came on the vicious battle.
Immediately, the fire lit up in the sky, and the sea was in chaos.
The sound of artillery, explosions, and screams went on and on, and the thunderous sound tore through the waterline of the sky.
Min Rui watched from the eighteen-zhang long treasure ship as the fireballs were emptying and the guns and Francos were making a "rumbling" sound on the battlefield ahead.
He held a long sword and laughed wildly on his back in the black smoke, his expression happy.
Dayi's fleet attacked one round after another, and countless Angolan warships were either blown up or sunk by enemy ships, all of which were smashed into slag.
Corpses, sawdust, and dying soldiers piled up in layers, wailing as the waves rushed in.
The sea was covered with a bloody red mist, and the waves rolled like mountains.
This naval battle lasted a day and a half, and Anguo Xiaofan finally failed to reach the opponent, and the naval division was almost completely annihilated.
Min Rui personally led 50,000 troops of the Eastern Qing Dynasty to land in Anguo, and after more than ten battles of all sizes, he took advantage of the victory and approached the place where the Anguo Palace was located - Dadu!
Dayi, in Guangxiββ
A large army hurried to the Hukou Mountains.
The Hukou Mountain Range stretches for hundreds of miles, and its canyon entrance is like a wine pot mouth, narrow and long, and the two places of the valley road are mostly steep and light-glazed, and there are few trees.
Although this valley is not a necessary place for the Anguo army to return to Guangxi, it is a shortcut.
As long as you climb over these natural barriers and travel south for half a day, you will be on the border of Angola.
Qiongyang's coastal defense was damaged, and 50,000 soldiers of the Qingshui Division of Dayi East forced to Dadu, and the monarch of An Guo could no longer sit still, so he urgently transferred back to his left army and right army, a total of 100,000 horses and horses to return to China to escort him.
In order to fight the Dayi army as soon as possible, the 70,000 main forces of Angola decided to take a shortcut and take the Hukou Mountains.
Another 30,000 troops returned by the same route, running day and night, from the Nanyao Plain to Anguo.
At noon, behind every rock and tree in Hukou Mountain, there were Dayi soldiers.
Leng Qingtang led the team to make strategic arrangements when they arrived at the border of Guangxi, and they were specially ambushed here, waiting for the Angolan army to fall into the trap.
Angolians are not stupid.
This time, Dayi took the waterway around the rear defense to attack Angola, mainly with the help of Angola's 150,000 troops outside and the main country was empty.
At present, it is imminent for the 70,000 army to return to the DPRK to save the driver, and it is the most risky move to enter the Hukou and take a short approach. And when marching at night is not clear, rashly lighting the lamp is undoubtedly equivalent to exposing oneself to the enemy's nose.
Therefore, if you want to win in danger, you can only enter the valley during the day.
The wind blew, and between the mountains, rocks, grass and trees, many eyes were firmly watching the enemy troops entering the narrow and important places at the mouth of the gorge.
The first team of centaurs held the tooth flag.
Among the mountains and rocks, Liu Wenlong, the general banner of Jinyi Wei, was about to move, and Leng Qingtang saw it and lowered his voice:
"Don't move, wait, this team is just a pioneer."
After waiting for another moment, I finally saw the five-color banner, which was surrounded by a horse general, and then there was a commander in gold armor.
The Anguo army has entered the valley for the most part.
Leng Qingtang's eyes lit up behind the tree, and he broke the bamboo tube he was holding tightly, and then a stream of red light burst into the air, and the slender whistle dragged out a series of rapid sounds.
On both sides of the valley, the sound of killing rose to the sky, and the arrows crackled like flying locusts. On the other side, countless barrels of tar poured down the ramp, and dense torches flew down, blocking the exit valley road.
The fire was raging in the valley, and wailing was everywhere.
In the midst of the flames, the Anguo forward soldiers were as weak as ants, stretching out their fists and legs and crawling, and the tragic situation beyond recognition was unrecognizable.
Soldiers on the rear flanks were also being tortured and killed.
The 10,000 elite archers led by Leng Qingtang were dancing their bowstrings and were shooting at the enemy with great intensity.
The 70,000 horses and horses of Anguo were in chaos, and the whole could not withdraw from the narrow valley, and they all died in the valley road, and the corpses stinked.
There was also a small group of people who had not yet entered the valley and had seen the chaos in the valley, so they scattered and fled from the accident site, but they encountered a salvo of hundreds of firearms on the east side of the mountain.
The Anguo soldiers who escaped by luck threw off their armor and fled. When they ran to the water's edge, several figures suddenly jumped up from the bottom of the water.
These five hundred brocade guards were ordered by Leng Qingtang to ambush the top killers at the bottom of the valley mouth, and they could easily kill the fish that slipped through the net.
At sunset, there was no movement around the valley.
Leng Qingtang looked at it from a high place, and saw that the valley was full of corpses and rivers of blood.
Looking at the front of the valley through a telescope, the scene is even more tragic and unbearable.
The corpses were charred black as carbon and glued to each other, and it was impossible to make out who was who. Even those who have been walking in purgatory for a long time will be shocked when they see this scene.
Leng Qingtang raised his eyes to look at the black smoke floating in the air, sighed and ordered his subordinates:
"First of all, I used the flying pigeon to inform Min Guogong of the great victory in Hukou Valley, and the order went down, and the army rested for half an hour and returned to the base camp.
Min Rui's troops set up camp in the Tieshan Belt on the border between Guangxi and Angola.
When Leng Qingtang went back, it was already nightfall.
Entering the camp, Min Rui personally greeted him, hugged his fists to Leng Qingtang and said with a smile:
"This hard work overseer."
The man smiled in return:
"Where, where, the prince's clever plan to settle the world, this governor really admires."
Min Rui stretched out his arms and led the seat:
"The overseer, please, it's a coincidence, the good news of Nan Yaoyuan has also been spread, our army has won a great victory, and 30,000 Anguo rebels have been annihilated!"
Leng Qingtang's eyes were dyed with joy after hearing this, and he nodded again and again:
"Okay, the remaining 50,000 horses are war or peace, they can choose for themselves."
Min Rui looked sly:
"The remaining strength of the 150,000 main force is only one-third, and the monarch of Anguo categorically cannot afford to pay for it. Presumably, within two days, most of the cities will have sent a letter of surrender. β
β¦β¦
Gu Yunxi was lying on the bed, weak and covered with layers of wounds on his face.
After the second change of appearance a month ago, Tu Duxue's physique had weakened to the limit, and she couldn't survive halfway.
When the medical saint returned to Dayi, he brought Gu Yunxi a magical healing medicine, "Intermittent Muscle San", which is said to make the skin and meridians of the human body achieve perfect regeneration in the shortest possible time, and the injured person will not feel too much pain, which is one of the three treasures of the Wudan Kingdom.
Gu Yunxi naturally knew that this bottle of scarce magic medicine was the generous handiwork of Brother Lu.
Presumably, he has learned the true identity of the Overseer from the mouth of his biological mother Princess An He, and hopes that even if he comes to Dayi again in the future, he will not find trouble with the Overseer, let alone come over to pester her easily.
Today on the sixteenth, a full moon hung in the sky.
Because Gu Yunxi needed to rest in bed for a while after the change of faces, Lan Xin deliberately asked people to move her gums to a wall by the window in the room.
In this way, when the weather is sunny during the day, you can open the window to let Gu Yunxi bask in the sun and look at the scenery.
At night, she could look out the window and enjoy the bright stars in the sky.
Gu Yunxi leaned on the soft pillow, raised his eyes to look at the big moon, remembering the past and the overseer's eyebrows.
Touching the cold and empty half of the bed, my heart hurt slightly, and my nose was inexplicably sore.
She suddenly missed him, her eyes were wet and her vision was blurred from the thought......
She whispered to the moon:
"Overseer, I miss you, I miss you very much, I miss ......"
