Chapter 097: Fighting Disputes
"Your Highness, what's the matter?" Ying Jieyan hurriedly walked into His Highness's cabin and stood at the window in front of him, without saying a word, very quietly, he asked curiously.
"Fu Shuai, Your Highness was restless and anxious at first, but after seeing the rocket launch, it was like that, and it looked like he was enjoying the scenery." Wang De replied in a low voice.
"Oh, isn't Your Highness scared!" Ying Jieyan asked again.
"No, if Your Highness was afraid, he would have hid a long time ago!" Wang De said with a chuckle.
"Your Highness, what are you looking at?" Ying Jieyan also smiled, took a few steps forward and looked out the window and asked.
"Heaven and earth are created, and the vicissitudes of the sea are changing!" Zhao Hao sighed and said leisurely.
"Why does Your Highness feel so emotional?" Ying Jieyan looked at His Highness, his immature face was melancholy, and he seemed to have the understanding of peeping into the world, which was elusive.
"Huh!" Zhao Hao laughed dryly twice and did not answer. Indeed, as Wang De said, when he saw the rockets rising into the air, he knew that the battle had begun, and he had no ability to reverse it regardless of victory or defeat. Since he could only go with the flow, his heart calmed down. At this moment, the morning sun has risen, the surrounding scenery is in full view, and the tide has reached the climax moment, but the city of Guangzhou at this moment is by no means the Guangzhou in his previous life.
Speaking of which, every coastal central city has an image metaphor that cannot be escaped - encroaching on the sea. The same is true of Guangzhou's growth over the past thousands of years, not only in terms of nature's miraculous workmanship, but also in human behavior. Who would have thought that the Pearl River Haohao soup in front of him would have shrunk to less than one-tenth in the later life, and the place where he was berthing at the moment was already the center of the city. The Venice of the East, where 'the sea is in front of it, and the waters surround it' has long been a legend, but I have had the privilege of witnessing the changes in the meantime. In addition to sighing, I also feel that life is short and small. Of course, this can't be expressed to others, and it can only be hehe.
"Your Highness, the former army has come to report that the Tanma Red Army has suffered countless casualties under the rocket bombardment, and has now been annihilated, and this Highness should be the first to take the lead." Seeing that His Royal Highness was reluctant to say more, Ying Jieyan reported the battle situation.
"This king does not dare to take credit. This merit should be recorded on Pei Jing, without his help, it would be difficult for us to hit with one blow. Zhao Yu waved his hand. He knows the power of the rocket, and the thing is not accurate, flying around so that people know where to hide, it can be described as full coverage without dead ends. And prepare 200 rockets yourself. For every five Mongol soldiers, one can be spread. It's also extravagant enough. But this is also a relatively concentrated situation to exert enough effect, so he concluded that as long as the effect of the surprise attack can be achieved, the victory of the battle has basically been locked by himself.
"What His Royal Highness said is very true, the Red Horse Exploration Army is the part that poses the greatest threat to our army, and it has been destroyed, Liang Xiongfei is not a problem, we should mobilize heavy troops to attack the city......" Ying Jieyan was very pleased with His Highness's answer, and was also very optimistic about the battle situation.
"Sir, you want to change the battle plan?" Zhao Yu was shocked when he heard it. Asked urgently. When the battle plan was first formulated, everyone regarded the Red Horse Exploration Army as the biggest obstacle to the capture of Guangzhou. Therefore, it was determined to annihilate it with a heavy siege, and the Liang Xiongfei troops in the city adopted a bluff and a strategy of besieging but not attacking, so that they did not dare to go out of the city for reinforcements. After completing the annihilation of the Red Horse Exploration Army, he persuaded him to surrender or forced him to abandon the city and flee, in order to take the city as soon as possible, but now Ying Jie Yan seems to be deliberately changing his plan.
"Yes, Your Highness, soldiers are impermanent, and water is impermanent. Now that the situation is favorable to us, why not annihilate it, so that not only can the morale of our army be greatly boosted, but also the name of the Shuaifu army will shock the world, and His Royal Highness will be famous. Ying Jieyan nodded and admitted, not only very optimistic about the current situation, but also full of expectations for the future.
"Sir, by no means. Liang Xiongfei is a rebel general of the imperial court, he knows very well what will happen to him after the city is broken, if he besieges the city, he will fight to the death, and our army is not long after its formation lacks training, once the siege is unfavorable and stalemate, it will inevitably lead to low morale and great loss of vitality. Moreover, the Yuan army brigade was only three days away from the city, and it was only three or five days for the fast horses to return to help, and at that time our army would have to withdraw from the battle. Therefore, it is advisable to fight quickly, not stalemate. Zhao Hao exclaimed.
For what is famous and shocking the world, Zhao Yu scoffed, and slandered the old man. Haven't such a big person heard the allusion that 'people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, trees are big and windy, guns shoot out the first birds, and the rafters that come out rot first'. He really wanted to shout, 'Big brother, don't forget, we're running for our lives now!' Since it's an escape, of course, the more low-key the better. If it weren't for the fact that Qiongzhou was too poor and couldn't eat enough, he wouldn't have taken the risk of fighting this battle, and he wouldn't have to take the reputation of recovering the city.
"Your Highness, the old man thinks that the opportunity is rare, it is a pity to let it go, as long as he plans properly, he will definitely be able to capture Liang Xiongfei alive and get rid of traitors for the country!" Ying Jieyan pondered for a moment.
"Sir, don't forget our original intention of attacking Guangzhou City!" Seeing that Ying Jieyan still didn't want to give up, his tone couldn't help but increase. He said the truth that Xing Dynasty is now famous, but it is being targeted by the Mongols, and there is nowhere to hide. And what I want to do now is not to become famous in the world, but to hide in a corner with my tail between my legs and my head tied to 'seek development'.
"This ......" should be strict for a while, and raising money and food in order to seek funds for the development of Qiongzhou was precisely the driving force and purpose of attacking Guangzhou in the first place. And once the siege battle is launched, there will be some damage, maybe Liang Xiong Feigou jumped under the wall and burned everything clean, but he spent half a day and turned out to be nothing.
"Report to Your Highness, Fu Shuai, the right army has blown open the water gate of the East Wing City, the forward broke into the city by boat, and the enemy army defending the city fled from the north gate, and is now clearing the remnants of the enemy in the city."
"Report to Your Highness, Fu Shuai, the left army has joined the righteous and brave 3,000 people to control the two towns of Fuxu and Shimen, and is marching towards Xiyin City."
"Report to Your Highness, Fu Shuai, thousands of salt people in Guangzhou saw our army attacking the city, took the opportunity to start an incident, and have captured the three towns, and asked to cooperate with our siege."
"Report to Your Highness, Fu Shuai, the Chinese army has all landed, the city is on fire everywhere, there is already chaos, Zhao Dutong thinks that the opportunity cannot be lost, and wants to take advantage of the situation to attack the city, please make a decision!" At this time, all the armies had people on board to report the progress of the war, and they all completed their respective tasks according to the plan, but it was much smoother and faster than expected.
"Your Highness, our army is making rapid progress, the heroes have responded, the army and the volunteers have 40,000 people, the old man thinks that the military heart and the people's heart are available, it is a good time to attack the city, and the army should be adjusted to surround the city to prevent the thieves from escaping." Ying Jieyan received the report, and the remaining hesitation just now was swept away, and then the idea of attacking the city was raised.
"Order Zhao Dutong to immediately send partial divisions to block the east and west gates of Zhongcheng, gather heavy troops at the south gate, and wait for the arrival of this king before acting." Zhao Yu ignored Ying Jieyan's proposal, he knew that the old man was excited by a series of victories, and was in a state of excitement, and ignored his original intention. However, he also understands that the Great Song Dynasty has existed in name only, and after the establishment of the Xing Dynasty, it has lost one after another, and now it is too much to need a victory to inspire people, boost the morale of the army and the people, and highlight the existence of the imperial court.
"Your Highness wants to surround the three thieves and let the thieves out of the city?" Deng Guangjian, who was reading on the side, suddenly interjected.
"Yes and no!" Zhao Hao replied ambiguously.
"Your Highness, you must not, that thief betrays his lord, and everyone will be punished, so how can he escape. Just capture and slay him, so that those who have evil intentions will not dare to act rashly. Deng Guangjian stood up and saluted and said.
"Your Highness, what Deng Ji said is reasonable, please adopt it!" Ying Jieyan also followed the persuasion.
"Oh, do you really think that we can take the city of Canton and hold it? Is it better to kill one person and harm the whole city? Zhao Yu was a little angry, and asked with a sullen face. Their victory in the first battle seemed to be a general's life, but in fact it was more a victory of strategy and technology, and it was precisely by surprise attacking them unprepared, and then destroying the strongest Red Horse Exploration Army with rockets that they were able to form a favorable situation for their own side.
And these people became hot-headed, and they really had the strength to fight against Liang Xiongfei's Jiujiang Army for their rabble. Although they are not the opponents of the Mongols, they are not easily shaken by the fledgling Shuaifu army. Even if this battle can be won by virtue of the superiority in numbers, it will be a disastrous victory, which will greatly damage the vitality of the Marshal's army; Moreover, the Mongols have always been eager to retribution when they conquer the world, and they will slaughter cities at every turn. Now it is true that they are in a hurry to return to the north, but more than 1,000 Tanma Red Army have died, and if they lose the generals who remain behind, I am afraid that they will be provoked to return and retaliate, and how can they be stopped by the strength of the Shuaifu Army at this moment.
"Amitabha, if you have the intention to capture the tiger, you have to have the art of subduing the tiger!" Yuan Miao suddenly shouted the Buddha's horn.
"Master...... What do you mean? Deng Guangjian's face turned red when he heard this, and he turned to Yuan Miaodao. And Yuan Miao returned to his original state, twisting the Buddha beads and reciting Buddhist scriptures silently.
"Don't say much. The old man is ashamed, the master wakes up the dreamer with a word! Ying Jie Yan thought about it for a while and understood the meaning of Yuan Miao's words, and this was exactly what he was worried about before, but he forgot his original intention because of the temporary victory. He stopped Deng Guangjian, who was still arguing, and saluted Yuan Miao.
"Ni Liang, order to lift the anchor and go to the front of the city to watch the battle." Zhao Hao said and raised his legs to get out of the cabin, laughing secretly in his heart, this Yuan Miao didn't say anything, and he opened his mouth to say amazingly. Although he didn't say much, he made a pun, which seemed to mean that Deng Guangjian did not have an insight into the situation, but in fact, it also meant current affairs.
"Your Highness, the front is dangerous, the swords and guns have no eyes, please don't move lightly." Seeing that Zhao Hao was about to leave the cabin with Ni Liang, he hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him.
"Lord Ying, I heard that you are a master of the sword, can you teach me!" Yuan Miao said at this time, inserting between the two.
"Hey, master, don't make a mess......" Although Ying Jieyan said that he also had martial arts and was quite conceited, he knew that he was not Yuan Miao's opponent, and it was definitely not possible to break through, so he could only watch His Highness leave the cabin and sigh helplessly......
