Chapter 876: Decisive Battle
The Japanese and the Yi people actually attacked the east and west, conquered the sea areas of Fujian, and now attacked the port of Guangzhou. Obviously, this was a premeditated plan, and the main force of the Dongjiang Army was already trapped on Xiangjiang Island, and Mao Wenlong would not be able to reinforce it at all.
The situation was urgent, and Mao Wenlong immediately summoned all the generals to discuss. However, there are not many generals at present, except for Haoda and Adou who can still speak, the rest of the generals can't open their mouths.
This made Mao Wenlong very helpless, if Hong Chengchou was here, he could give him some good advice. At present, it seems that we can only figure it out on our own.
The hall was very quiet, and more than a dozen generals looked at Mao Wenlong with blank eyes, just waiting for him to speak. Mao Wenlong's gaze patrolled one by one, and finally stopped at Haoda's body.
"Huge, immediately send out a lookout post to find out the current movements of the Japanese and Yi people's army, and come to report immediately after the investigation." Mao Wenlong's face was serious.
Haoda didn't talk much nonsense, and retreated first after giving his hand.
Only then did Mao Wenlong turn his gaze to Adou's body, and said after a moment of silence: "You go and select a few thousand secret guards, give you ten lucky ships, and be ready to set off for Guangzhou at any time." ”
Adou was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "But the chief soldier ......"
Mao Wenlong didn't wait for Adou to finish speaking, and directly interrupted him: "Don't worry, when the Japanese and Yi armies are confronting us head-on, you can take a detour." ”
Hearing this, Adou suddenly came over, it turned out that Mao Wenlong had planned early on. It was to ask him to quietly go to reinforce Guangzhou. understood what Mao Wenlong meant, Adou had nothing to worry about, even if he gave up his life.
Seeing Adou leave, Mao Wenlong ordered the remaining generals: "Everyone obeys the order, go to prepare for battle immediately, and all disassembled artillery must be loaded back on the ship." ”
More than a dozen generals did not dare to slack off, they got up and saluted, and left one after another after receiving the order. Mao Wenlong looked at the sunshine outside the window, but his mood was not very relaxed, he felt that he could not delay any longer.
"Alas, what should be fought is still to be fought, and it can't be avoided, only to take risks!" With a sigh, Mao Wenlong's eyes gradually became firm.
Ten nautical miles away from Koe Island, the warships of the Yi people and the Japanese invaders gathered together, and the defeat in the morning made both Ofu and Shinno Taro feel uneasy.
Aufu was even more dissatisfied with Taro Nino at the moment, and he asked, "Mr. Nino, what do you mean by saying goodbye in the morning?" ”
Taro Shinno also knew at this moment that when he fled for his life in the morning, he had indeed gone too far. Knowing that he was wrong, Shinno Taro naturally wouldn't raise the bar with Aufu at this time, he showed a smile and said with a smile: "Mr. Aufu don't care too much, wasn't the situation too tense at that time, he was just anxious." ”
Auf's eyes widened, and he wanted to lose his temper, but he swallowed back when the words came to his lips. He knew that now was not the time to be serious with Taro Shinno, otherwise he would pat his ass and leave with the Japanese Kou, leaving him alone to face the Dongjiang Army, and there would be no good fruit to eat.
With scruples, Aufu didn't dare to be serious with Taro Nino at this moment, so he could only suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart and snort coldly: "Mr. Nino, I hope you remember that now we are already in the same boat." This time, we can only advance and retreat together, and if we only care about ourselves, then it will be a matter of time before we are defeated. ”
A cold glint flashed in Shinno Taro's eyes, but he quickly hid it. With a smile still on his face, he clenched his fists and said to Aufu: "Mr. Auf, please rest assured, Xinye still understands this truth." ”
Hearing this, Aufu nodded slightly, believing Taro Shinno's words.
The two were silent for a moment before Aufu spoke: "The news that just came from Guangzhou says that a city of Guangzhou has been taken. The materials obtained are quite a lot, enough for us to build nearly a hundred more warships, but unfortunately we can't stay for long, and it's a pity to give up an entire city like that. ”
Aufu's face was full of pain, and the purpose of the sneak attack on Guangzhou was only to scare the supplies and strong men. Now that the mission is complete, it is a shame that you have to flee immediately.
Taro Shinno obviously had the same heart, but he was more rational, shook his head and persuaded: "It's nothing to pity, after all, our goal has been achieved, at most, when we evacuate, we will try to destroy the defensive buildings of Guangzhou City." What we can't get, we can't cheapen the Dongjiang Army, so it's better for them to make a lot of effort to recover. ”
Auf nodded when he heard this: "That's all it can be." ”
After that, Auf began to write letters, and then ordered people to send them to Canton and give orders there. As soon as the matter here was arranged, a guard came to report that they had discovered the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army.
Auf frowned slightly and looked at Taro Shinno beside him. The latter asked directly: "How many are here?" ”
The guard replied: "There are only two." ”
Taro Nino muttered: "It's only been two ...... here"
"Could it be just a sentry who came to inquire about the situation?" ”
Hearing this, Taro Shinno agreed: "It seems that this time it is indeed this time. ”
Auf said: "But we still shouldn't underestimate it, we still have to be ready to fight." ”
Taro Shinno nodded and said, "That's true, but what should we do with these hot air balloons?" ”
The previous battle has been a clear fact, and the hot air balloon of the Dongjiang Army still has an absolute advantage. And the method that Aufu came up with has been cracked by Mao Wenlong, and without relying on it, what else can they use to compete with the Dongjiang Army.
Auf was also stunned on the spot when he was asked by Taro Shinno, and he couldn't give a reply for a long time.
In the end, it was Shinno Taro who understood, and he sighed lightly: "There is no way but to deal with the Dongjiang Army first, we will run when he comes, and we will return when they leave." ”
Auf was very helpless, and finally had to agree to Taro Shinno's suggestion. However, Mao Wenlong didn't have time to spend any more time with them. If there had not been a fall of Guangzhou, perhaps Mao Wenlong would not have minded taking his time to clean up these Yi people or widows, but there was not much time left for Mao Wenlong now, and he had to end this battle as soon as possible.
In the afternoon of the same day, when the vast investigation found out the whereabouts of the enemy, Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the whole army to attack. The huge sixty hot air balloons were still in the vanguard, and the navy was the auxiliary, heading straight for the enemy's base camp.
When Auf and Taro Shinno learned about it, they immediately ordered the entire army to flee. In this way, in the waters near Xiangjiang Island, the two armies fled and chased, and they had a lot of fun.
A day passed, Mao Wenlong couldn't catch up with the enemy army at all, and knowing that the enemy army would not confront him head-on, Mao Wenlong had to find another way. When the battle was launched early the next morning, the Dongjiang Army was divided into two and prepared to flank the enemy.
And Aufu and Taro Shinno are not stupid, this time they no longer run away around Koe Island, but start to move away. used this to avoid the encirclement and interception of the Dongjiang Army, but the results were not bad, and the Dongjiang Army could not reach them at all.
