Chapter Fifty-Seven: Crossing the River!

γ‚„ Shuangyu book friend,I'm sorry.,My starting point username was stolen.。 Now that we are coordinating to see how to deal with it, what are your instructions?

March 16. Sunny and windy on the river.

A soldier of the Ruan family yawned, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the golden Lingjiang River illuminated by the rising sun, and on the water, occasionally a few fish jumped out and quickly dived to the bottom of the water, not knowing where to go.

"What a river!" The soldier stood on a bamboo sentry tower and looked north. Although he can't see it, in his usual discussions, he also knows how prosperous Jiangbei is, how rich and prosperous it is.

"His Royal Highness said, after defeating the Li thief, those good things in Jiangbei are ready-made to the brothers, and he only needs workshops and craftsmen."

While imagining how to plunder the property and make a fortune quickly after defeating the enemy on the other side, the sentry lazily looked at the river and monitored the enemy situation on the other side.

Suddenly, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and on the north shore, a little white suddenly appeared, which was extremely dazzling in the sunlight.

Then, another point, and soon, the white edges joined together. It was the sails of more than a dozen schooners, and there were also schooners cruising in the river in the past, but since Nguyen Phuc Yuan transferred the sailors to the Rili Sea, the Linh River has become the world of these schooners.

However, this is the first time that such an early dispatch has been made.

Soon, the schooner was heading for the south shore!

"Li thief! Li thief crosses the river! ”

He shouted hoarsely with almost all his strength, and at the same time, he banged vigorously on the alarm gong.

Ye Qi, dressed in strict armor, a Shu brocade robe with a hundred flower patterns, wearing a sword carefully made by the Taipingdong Military Factory for the battalion officers under his ribs, standing on the bow of his command ship, with the blowing of the river breeze, the robe fluctuated from time to time, setting off him to look more and more heroic.

Among Li Shouhan's group of capable cadres, Ye Qi's external image is one of the best, and Shouhan himself once joked that he couldn't stand with Ye Qi on the street, so as not to be hit by his self-esteem.

This time, he went south to destroy Ruan, and the tactics adopted by Shouhan were actually copying the successful experience of two famous generals from the East and the West.

"You see, the main force of the Nguyen family's army is all gathered in his old nest Hue, and the Rili area in the south of the Yangtze River, Hue needless to say, it is the old nest. Rili is the front line of confrontation between him and the north, of course, including us, not long ago, they just fought with the Zheng family in Rili. ”

Chen Tianhua used a rosewood pole to point on the map.

"Therefore, according to the strategy of the lord, our troops going south this time are divided into two roads, one way, led by the lord himself, and the main forces of land and water are all launched, and we will take Hue directly! All the way, Ye Qi led a partial division to contain the enemy army in the Rili area. This method of warfare, the lord gave it a name, called 'one point and two sides, amphibious landing.' ’”

I don't know how Ruan Fuyuan can enjoy the cooperative treatment of Lin Dashuai and Admiral Mai Wuxing's proud tactics?

Ye Qi naturally didn't know the little caution in Li Shouhan's heart, he just felt that as the battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, he commanded the most elite troops under Li Shouhan, but he had to serve as the so-called feint containment, and he was quite unhappy.

If you are not happy, you will not be happy, and the task must be carried out to the letter.

The artillery squadron of the Guards Battalion consisted of four six-pounder guns and eight Franc cannons. The same was true of the other two battalions, in addition, there was a reinforced artillery unit. Six eight-pounder guns, six twelve-pounder guns, four rocket groups.

Add to that the guns on the dozen or so schooners, which were equipped with guns on the reserved military interfaces, and each schooner could have twelve eight-pounder guns. Seeing the galleon sailing in the Lingjiang River, Ye Qi, the two battalion officers of Qilin and Phoenix had an understanding of Shouhan's vigorous development of schooners regardless of others' suggestions.

"After all, this is a river, not a sea. If you get those wind ships from the fleet, I'm afraid it won't work in this river! But this wind hunter is fine, the river and the sea are used for both purposes, especially in the river, it is to show its skills. ”

Not to mention the strength of the troops, a guard battalion has nearly 2,500 people, plus the two battalions of Qilin and Phoenix, there are more than 2,000 muskets alone, although the iron shoulder team is not equipped with firearms, but, because it is composed of the children of Jiangnan refugees, the sons and daughters are eager for revenge, and they are just gearing up every day, and their morale is high.

Yesterday afternoon, the herald sent an order from Shouhan, "Tomorrow across the river, be sure to drag the more than 10,000 people of the Ruan family's army!" ”

"Drag? The lord can't help but look down on me Ye Shaoning! Ye Qi looked at the south bank that was getting closer and closer, and there was some complaint in his heart.

Yesterday's messenger revealed the information that Wang Bao's troops stationed in the western Lao region had begun to move south, and the main force of the Phoenix Battalion was directed at Mujia Pass, which is located in the border area between Laos and Annam. This is an important mountain pass in the Changshan Mountains, close to the cliff of the Khammouang Plateau, there are mountain roads circling in it, whether it is to go to Laos Taqu in the west, or to Annam Fuze in the east, it is the only way to pass, and it is an important passage from the middle reaches of the Mekong River to the coast of the South China Sea. The capture of Mujia Pass restrained the Ruan family's army from the flank, which was less than two hundred miles away from Rili, and the condescending eastward attack was something that the third young master of the Ruan family could not resist.

But the general with the troops was willing to be stimulated like this himself? Win a battle with the help of others?

So, mobilized overnight, and at sunrise, the troops were ready, boarded the boat, and crossed the river!

"After laying down the sun, you can go directly to Shui Zhenla! There are millions of kilometers of uncultivated land there! Everyone will become a big landlord in the future! Moreover, you will be enshrined in the most prominent position in the ancestral hall by your descendants, and you will always enjoy the incense offerings! ”

Before boarding the ship, Ye Qi used extremely provocative language to outline the soldiers' future lives, including the situation before and after death. The eyes of the burning soldiers are on fire, yes! When you are alive, you can have a land that you can't think of when you are in your hometown, and after you die, you can still be worshiped by future generations forever.

"Your Highness! Your Royal Highness! As your advisor, it is necessary for me to remind you! Lieutenant Fernandez, a Portuguese officer, stood on the sentry tower and shouted anxiously to his employer.

"With the support of our already lost surface ship forces, the best thing to do is to pull our artillery fleet to the river and use our artillery fire to suppress the enemy's landing behavior, otherwise, once the enemy forces land, we will have to lose the time advantage!" FernΓ‘ndez was a little incomprehensible, but Nguyen Phuc still understood, "Hit it halfway!" ”

But does he have time to change his deployment?

Hundreds of artillery pieces unloaded from the ship were now placed in the fort, and on the opposite side of the fort was a bamboo stick array that stretched for miles in depth, how could it be dragged into place before Ye Qi's troops landed? And complete the preparation for shooting such as putting in columns, stationing hoes, etc.?

"Boom! Boom! Rumble! The sound of the cannons from the wind hunters on the river made up his mind for him.

"Order the whole army and let the enemy ashore! After the enemy is caught in the bamboo stick formation, the artillery of the artillery will open fire first to kill and wound the enemy! ”

I have something to do today, and I want to go to a meeting, so I can only do it first, forgive me!
