Chapter 614 is counted
Ali Hague was not only puzzled by the little emperor of the remnant Song Dynasty who suddenly withdrew the Baisha Navy from Shuizhai, but also full of doubts about the sudden enthusiasm of Chen Yi, who had been cowardly in battle, so he was a little hesitant to launch the battle of Qiong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info But I still support Chen Yi's suggestion to try Song Jun's hypocrisy, so that at least you can distinguish the truth and falsehood of the information in the wax pill, and you can also identify what Chen Yi's attitude is.
Chen Yi's experiment was very simple, according to the documents passed in the wax pill, because the naval troops of each battalion poured out to meet the enemy from the direction of Guangzhou, so once the enemy attacked Fucheng, it would be difficult to get reinforcements. Therefore, the troops stationed in the floating cities were ordered to burn the floating cities and withdraw to the port immediately when it was difficult to resist and block them, so as to avoid losses.
Then Chen Yi only needs to send three fleets to attack the enemy's three floating cities on the sea, if the floating cities sent by Changhua and Chengmai who received the order to evacuate, only the stubborn resistance of the Baisha naval army shows that the situation is true; If the Baisha Water Battalion leaves with one blow, it shows that this is a trap, and the little emperor wants to launch a decisive battle from the sea, so as to reduce the pressure on the defense of the local infantry army.
Without further ado, after getting Ali Hague's approval, in order to prevent the Song army from discovering that the messenger had not returned and re-delivering the order, Chen Yi immediately sent three fleets to the sea to attack the floating city on the sea. In the afternoon, the warships stationed in Fucheng to attack Changhua and Chengmai returned to report successively, saying that after a fierce battle, the Song army burned the city and fled; The fleet that attacked the Baisha Navy stationed in Fucheng did not return until after Shen Shi, and lost more than a dozen warships.
Chen Yi hurriedly inquired about the situation, and led the army to report that the Song army's resistance to Fucheng was very tenacious, and they were worried that the Song army would come to help, but there was no enemy to help them until the battle, and when they were about to break through Fucheng, the sentinel ships they sent found that a large number of warships appeared in the east. Because he was worried that he would be unable to resist, he took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and prepared to return home, but at this time he found that the fleet that appeared was traveling from north to south, and when he got closer, he saw that it was his own fleet under the banner of conquering the city.
This Qianhu was quite clever, and felt that it was too strange for the fleet to occupy the city to appear in the strait at this moment, so he did not return to the army to attack the Song army's floating city, but immediately returned to the camp to report. Chen Yi was shocked when he heard this, and immediately came to Ali Hague to report the battle situation, and asked him if he knew about the instigation of the capital to lead the army to cross the border, and Ali Hague sat there for a long time without saying a word after receiving the report.
"Du Shuai, don't you know?" Seeing Ali Hague sitting there without saying a word for a long time, looking distracted, he leaned up and asked in a low voice.
"Ben Shuai really doesn't know about this matter, how can they do this, isn't this trapping Ben Shuai for disloyalty and injustice!" Ali Hague sighed as if he had come back to his senses.
"Du Shuai, I just said that instigation and Liu Shen were unreliable, they acted first and secretly acted without even saying hello. However, evil has evil retribution, but they don't know that the Qiongzhou Navy is already waiting for them in front of them, and they are caught off guard! Chen Yi chuckled, and there was no schadenfreude in his expression.
"Alas, they were attacked by the Song army, and it did not benefit my Great Yuan at all, and it also affected the great cause of the Great Khan's domination of the world, and we should try to rescue it." Ali Hague thought otherwise, but in the long term, with a gloomy face.
"Yes, yes, Du Shuai said it very much, but the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to think about it. And the humble position thinks that this is our opportunity to enter the army, and once we lose it, it will be even more difficult! Chen Yi secretly scolded Ali Hague for being pedantic, everyone dumped you, and worried about his life or death, but he couldn't say that.
"Chen Wanhu means that the battle to attack Qiong should be launched as soon as possible?" Ali Hague listened and looked at Chen Yi with sharp eyes and asked.
"Humble ...... Humble as it is. First, the facts have proved that the Qiongzhou naval army has poured out, and we can take advantage of the situation to attack Qiongzhou; When the Song army learned that we were attacking Qiongzhou, they would definitely return to the army to rescue them, which could be regarded as a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and the Great Khan would not blame him if he knew it; The tide of the three is about to pass, and we will have to wait until next month to attack Qiongzhou again. Ali Hague's body exuded a terrifying murderous aura at this moment, Chen Yi was taken aback, but he knew that if he missed the opportunity, he would be the one who died, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"It seems to make some sense, if we launch a campaign to attack Qiong, they will definitely withdraw the reinforcements of the water division, and I can't be unjust if he is unkind!" Ali Hague nodded after hearing this.
"Du Shuai saw that he thought that if he wanted to fight, the sooner the better, otherwise the Qiongzhou sailors would ...... They've returned to camp first, and we're going to face another fierce battle! Chen Yi saw that his expression was slightly relaxed, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"Alright, immediately gather all the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops!" Ali Hague thought for a moment and said......
Ali Hague beat the drum and gathered the generals to discuss the attack on Qiong, and the generals thought that the opportunity should not be lost and should not come again, and they should take advantage of the battle between the Song water army and the army that occupied the city to launch an attack. He also immediately ordered all armies to board ships, load supplies, assemble at Xuwen Port, and go to sea to Qiongzhou when they were formed. To say that the Yuan army can fight all over the world invincible, but it also really has the capital, Yin Shizheng boarded the ship and assembled in the sea off Xuwen Port, and at the same time sent a forward fleet to reconnoiter the enemy.
Ali Hague boarded the ship, deputy marshal Oulu Chi led 600 large and small warships, and 30,000 soldiers and horses of the headquarters served as the vanguard of the front army, forcibly landing and seizing the beachhead; Chen Yi led 400 warships as the left flank to resist the Song army of the Hui army and cover the army; Ali Hague led 300 warships, horse ships and transport ships, and 20,000 troops of Dewen Buhua and Qi Rongzu were the Chinese army; With the two cavalry teams of Hongjira and Zara Er, 10,000 people as the rear army, after the landing is successful, it can attack Qiongzhou, and then divide it into two roads to take Yazhou along the post road; On the right flank, only 100 warships were sent by the navy to serve as a guard to prevent harassment by the other two water villages of the Song army.
On the 11th, when the army was attacking Qiong, Ali Hague boarded the flagship, at this time the sky was just bright, he looked at the front and back of more than 1,000 large and small warships discharged a huge phalanx, stretching for more than ten miles, a little mast like a star falling into the sea, very relieved and magnificent. According to the time of departure, the front army should have reached the center line of the strait at this time, and it was just in time to catch the rising tide and help them get to the beachhead.
Ali Hague knew that there was no turning back arrow when he opened the bow, and he would definitely be discovered by the Song army if he moved, so he had to win with one blow when he set off, and from the signals from the various armies, he still did not find the Song army's naval division brigade, only a few sentinel ships were watching from afar, and they did not dare to approach at all. After the center line of the strait, the sky is already bright, Qiongzhou Island is like a huge monster standing on the sea, and the smoke column rising from Qixingling is like its spewing anger.
"Can you find the Song Army's Naval Division?" The boat on the sea is very different from the river, Ali Hague felt a little dizzy and waved his knife in the cabin, he pinched his forehead and asked.
"Yu Du Shuai, the front army and the left and right armies have not discovered the Song Water Army Brigade, but the number of sentry ships that came to spy has increased, and they have all been driven away by our warships." The adjutant general came over and said.
"Okay, let the front army speed up, and be sure to approach the coast when the tide comes, and be ready for landing." Ali Hague instructed, "The left and right armies must not relax their vigilance, especially the left army, which must closely monitor the entrance to the strait to prevent the enemy from returning for help." ā
"Yes, all handsome!" The lieutenant immediately went out to give orders.
It may be that the tide is approaching, and the turbulence of the warship is getting worse, and Ali Hague is disgusted for a while. There were already people vomiting outside the cabin, which made him feel even more uncomfortable, but as the head of the army, if he behaved badly, it would greatly affect his morale, so he could only squint and sit on the chair, which could only make him feel a little more comfortable.
"Yu Du Shuai, someone came to report that the envoy from Guangzhou has returned, and asked to see Du Shuai!"
"Why did he come back at this time? Let him get on board! Ali Hague was uncomfortably tight at the moment, his stomach was turning over like a river, and the little things he ate were rushing to his throat, and he was still stunned after hearing the news, and the messenger didn't even have a letter for a few days, and he went out to sea and chased after him. He thought about it and said that he was fighting spirits.
"Du Shuai, didn't you agree with the instigator to launch the battle of Qiong yesterday, why did you only set off today?" When the messenger got on board, he asked urgently.
"Make an appointment with the instigator? Didn't Ben Shuai send you to discuss this matter, how could he have made other agreements! Ali Hague was confused when he heard this, and asked rhetorically.
"Du Shuai, obviously you sent someone to deliver the message the day before yesterday, and the last general also checked the number plate of the customs defense is indeed something in our army." The messenger was even more amazed.
"Do you know that man?" Ali Hague was indeed surprised by him, and stood up and asked.
"That man claimed to be a guard under the commander's account, and the last general looked at it, but how did he record the thousands of pro-troops under the commander's account, so the last general didn't pay attention!" The envoy sensed that Ali Hague's expression was wrong, and replied cautiously. But in his heart, he secretly complained that most of the soldiers in the handsome tent were Mongols and Semu people, and they almost all looked the same when they stood together in military uniforms, and they were not familiar with them.
"What about them?" Ali Hague suddenly had a sense of foreboding and asked urgently.
"The last general is also wondering, the day before yesterday I made an appointment with them to come back together yesterday, but who knew that he left in the middle of the night, saying that he wanted to return to Du Shuai quickly, and the last general who was harmed delayed his return." The messenger replied with a depressed expression.
"Do you know the details of the agreement?" Ali Hague already had a premonition, but still asked calmly.
"Yu Du Shuai, instigating the commander did not shy away from the last general. The text said that the tide period is about to pass, and our army will launch the battle of Qiong tomorrow, at that time, please instigate them to set off an hour before to attract the Song army's naval division, and after our army launches an attack, the enemy will definitely return to help, and the commander can take the opportunity to cross the border smoothly. Although the last general remembers it all, the content is probably like this. The messenger replied.
"It's broken!" Ali Hague felt the world spinning when he heard this, and said dejectedly.
"Du Shuai, what's wrong?" The messenger hurriedly supported the rickety Ali Hague and asked him to sit down.
"We've been tricked!" Ali Hague's face became extremely pale, and the strength in his body seemed to be suddenly drained, and he shook his head and said in a dejected manner.
After listening to the messenger's words, Ali Hague was extremely depressed, and he was very careful, but he still could not escape the calculus of the little ghost. At this moment, he figured out what happened before and after, the body that Chen Yi found on the beach was not accidental at all, but it was an intentional arrangement of the Song army, and the pro-soldier who went to the instigation camp to deliver the letter did not need to ask was also a fake by the Song army, because he had never sent any messengers at all.
"They're so vicious!" Ali Hague muttered in frustration. The Song army used the corpse to pass on false information to themselves, taking advantage of their eagerness to attack Qiong to pretend to reveal their flaws, and thinking that they would not believe it completely, so they would send troops to attack and verify. At this time, they had already sent fake messengers to instigate the capital, ostensibly to urge them to fulfill their agreement and cooperate with them to attack Qiong, but in fact, they were using the contradictions between the two sides to achieve their goals.
Ali Hague knows that the contradiction between himself and the instigation has basically become public, and the contradiction is that no one is willing to act as a bait. But the imp took advantage of this, and sent a false messenger to inform him of the time of his own army. Although he agreed on the surface, he secretly ordered the plan to deliberately delay the dispatch of troops, wanting to wait for his own side to fight with the Song army before taking the opportunity to cross the sea and avoid the interception of the Song army.
However, this time both sides miscalculated, instigating both to see an experimental attack launched by their own side, and in order to verify whether the intelligence is true, they dispatched more than 100 warships, and the attack was also extremely fierce. In their opinion, they thought that their own side had launched an attack, and they thought that the Song Shui Army would inevitably be attracted to it, so they took the opportunity to slip through the battlefield, but they didn't know that they had just fallen into the trap laid by the Song army.
"So why is it so calm now? Could it be ......" and the situation in front of him made Ali Hague wonder again, since the Song Shuijun had already gone to ambush and instigate the capital fleet, since they had already made a careful plan, they would never let themselves break into the empty door regardless of one or the other. Under the calm and calm in front of him, there must be a lot of murderous intentions, which made him shudder.
"Du Shuai, is the messenger sent by the deputy marshal or a few other Wanhu?" When the messenger saw Ali Hague's little face pale, sitting there talking to himself, ignoring himself, the messenger came up and asked.
"Well, maybe yes. Wait for Ben Shuai to verify later, you have also worked hard, go down and rest first! Ali Hague was awakened from his contemplation and glanced at the messenger.
"Xie Dushuai!" The messenger saw that Ali Hague was no longer normal, and perhaps he would be angry with himself, and now let himself go as if he had been pardoned.
"Go, put him in the bilge, and no one will be allowed to meet him, and don't listen to him!" Ali Hague saw that the envoy was out of the door, and called the soldiers around him to command. He knew now that Oluchi and the others would never hide their contact with the instigators, and the thief took advantage of the inconvenience of the two sides to make a time difference to get them all into the circle. And the most important thing at the moment is not to let that messenger talk nonsense everywhere, thus shaking the morale of the army.
"Let the front army advance at full speed, and when it arrives, it will attack without waiting; Ordered the left army to strengthen its vigilance, once it is found that the Song army's naval division must intercept it, if it is a violation of military law! Ali Hague knew that it was too late to retreat at this moment, but would be chased and beaten by the Song army, and even if it was a sea of swords and fires in front of him, he could only break through......
