This is a deduction, and there is no tower for him to look out over.

But Luo Bai still shouted out that sentence and then stood up.

"Tell me what I can see now."

Xue Lingkong's emotions were also driven by Luo Bai, and he said excitedly: "The clouds are thick, and the wind is not stopping. ”

Luo Bai nodded and said, "Is the pontoon bridge burning?" ”

Xue Lingkong conveyed: "It burned, but we lost dozens of people. The attack of the fireships failed, and the north wind was too strong, and the ships that went down the river were blown to the south shore by the wind, and could not hit the ships on the north shore. ”

Luo Bai's face sank like water.

"Let them change their combat methods: transfer another battalion of troops to cooperate with them, do not seek to destroy the pontoon bridge, and harass the opponent's construction speed on the premise of ensuring their own safety."

"Arrange the equipment, bows and arrows, and rootstocks in the city. Adjust the deployment of military strength in the north and south cities: 30,000 in the south and 20,000 in the north. Among them, 10,000 sailors were deployed at the docks of the two cities, with 5,000 men each, as men and horses to support each other. ”

"The ship is gathered to the dock and ready at any time."

Xue Lingkong didn't leave immediately, and said in silence: "The pontoon bridge ......"

He shouldn't have asked this, he was just a herald, and he only had the right to pass on orders and information.

But Yan Wenyuan didn't reprimand him, perhaps because he felt that his question did not affect the battle situation.

Luo Bai sighed: "Do you think you can burn it out?" ”

Xue Lingkong immediately understood that this was also a last resort.

The battle itself turned against them, and with the enemy's surprise on the water, they didn't even have time to make an effective defense on the northern shore.

"Have the villagers of the North Shore village withdrawn?"

He didn't arrange these because it was to be done by the subordinate officials. He asked now that he just wanted to know if the farmers in charge of the millions of acres of government land on the north shore were safe.

"Evacuated. This is Juntian, they all have household registers, and they can't be wrong. ”

"How many big villages are there along the coast?"

"Of the three villages, Ping'an Village is the closest, and the closest to the enemy is Shuiyuan Village, separated by the Fengcheng Canal for irrigation."

Luo Bai looked at the location of Ping'an Village and Shuiyuan Village on the sand table, as well as the Fengcheng Canal lying in the middle, and lowered his head in thought.

Fengcheng Canal, which is a canal excavated by hand, is two zhang wide, has been to the north, and is fifty miles long. The main canal also has a number of branch canals, more to the north, which are mainly used for irrigation of crops.

Fengyu City was able to supply the entire Guanzhong with food, and the advanced irrigation system on the north bank made great contributions.

But now, looking at these canals, Luo Bai really wants to do something.

"If only it was summer!"

There is little rain in winter, and the water potential of the entire Yellow River is stable, so it is a bit difficult to dry something with water.

Putting down the canals for a moment, he looked at the two villages.

These places may become enemy barracks. Even if you can't keep it, you can't just send it out so easily.

"For us, they were surprise attacks. But for them, it's a lonely one. We are not fighting alone. The first successful passage of the enemy's naval division through Jinan can be said to be taking advantage of its unpreparedness, but if they can still be allowed to leave safely, then the guards and local officials of Jinan City should die! ”

"So holding on is the number one priority: kill him!"

Xue Lingkong listened to Luo Bai's analysis and couldn't help nodding. But he really wanted to remind him: If you really expand your vision beyond the battlefield, how can you ignore the situation on the Huaihe battlefield?

Although the battlefield of Abundance City is not evenly matched, it can be regarded as a scorching balance. However, once an external force invades, it will inevitably lead to a series of reactions.

Now it's up to you to fight, whose support comes first.

However, Xue Lingkong's strategic thinking is limited, and there is only one Huaihe battlefield that can be thought of. But he was sure that there was more to it than that.

"Tell the two battalions in charge of harassment, one battalion, harassing and the other battalion stationed in Shuiyuan Village. If they send troops to chase them, they will fight them if there are few people, and if there are many people, they will lure the enemy deep into Shuiyuan Village, and then besiege and kill them. If there are a lot of them, then rely on Shuiyuan Village to fight them, but don't fight hard! If it really didn't work, he retreated to Ping'an Village. Before leaving, remember to burn the village down for me! ”

"Send people to Ping'an Village to prepare, and once the people from Shuiyuan Village are withdrawn, they will rely on Ping'an Village to confront them and delay as much as possible."

Since it is a drag, then the stronghold outside the city cannot let go of one, so that they can delay the pace of their attack on Fengyu City as much as possible and gain the initiative for Fengyu City.

Everything was arranged, Luo Bai sat down again, looking at the sand table two zhang long and one zhang wide, his eyes kept rolling.

Where is the breaking point?

"My lord, the three chariots and ships left the north shore and headed for Fengyu City!"

Luo Bai's eyes lit up: Is this going to attack?

"Send a medium-sized warship and see what the hell they're going to do. Remember not to fight, start a battle and shoot two arrows and come back. ”

Xue Lingkong really wanted to ask, people are sending vehicles and ships, although there are only three, but why do you have to send the same combat power up, right?

Although they only have more than 20 warships, and they are all small and medium-sized, they should be a little stronger.

But he didn't say anything, turned around to report, and came back in a blink of an eye: "The sailor was repulsed, and the hull was slightly injured." The enemy ships continued to advance and attacked the dock with crossbows. ”

It's normal that you can't beat it.

The vehicles and ships carried 400 to 600 people, and the medium-sized warships were more than 100 people, and they could not fight at all.

But it's good that no one is dead.

What's just what does it mean to attack the dock with a crossbow?

As soon as the idea came to mind, the situation escalated again.

"Enemy replacement rockets!"

"Nancheng Pier is on fire!"

"Enemy ships withdraw!"

Three battles came in succession, and Luo Bai was a little careless.

This Feng Chengping has mastered the rhythm of the war. This is not a good thing for Luo Bai.

He snorted coldly and said, "Kou can go, I can go too!" ”

"Order: I have a lot of use in recruiting fishermen who are good at winter swimming."

Xue Lingkong immediately went to report, and came back in a moment to feedback two pieces of information.

"My lord, the people who went to the south bank of the Yellow River come back. A thousand have been hidden. ”

"My lord, it's getting dark, it's time for you to eat."

I don't know when, Xue Lingkong has used the honorific title "you" in the process of talking.

Luo Bai didn't pay attention to eating, but was very interested in "getting dark".

"Have you recruited the winter swimmers?"

"It's still recruiting, but there are already more than two dozen of them."

More than twenty people? It's not enough.

He thought about it and decided to take a risk.

"What's the weather?"

"The wind has stopped, and the moon is coming out."

The wind has stopped!

Luo Bai clenched his fists: This Feng Chengping is so lucky!

"The moonlight is so good, are they going to start building a pontoon bridge overnight?"

"Yes!"

"God bless them!"

In this situation, Luo Bai could only say sourly.

"How many pontoon bridges are expected they can build in one night?"

"At the current pace, there are no less than ten."

"They're so lively, let's go and make it up."

"Order: The cavalry on the north bank take turns to sleep, and they have been harassing me, and they don't have to fight, just beat the drums and sound gold, charge and shout, I want them to do it badly, and they can't sleep well!"

"Find a few more broken boats, carry good oil, light incense on them, calculate the time, and we'll give him a big gift, understand?"

Xue Lingkong smiled: "Understood! ”

"Pick a battalion of warriors and prepare them, and equip them with the horses they bought in the city. If it really doesn't work, give them the horses of all the generals and officials in the city to ensure their movement. ”

Xue Lingkong nodded and was about to leave, but was stopped by Luo Bai: "Call their Lang General, before leaving, I have something to say to him." ”

Snow left and returned a moment later.

"A thousand warriors are ready, and Lang will bring. In addition, the sailor's fireboat is ready to be released at any time. ”

Luo Bai nodded and said to General Lang: "The first battle of the Battle of Fengyu City is very likely to take place in Shuiyuan Village. Now that you have been equipped with horses, you have led a battalion of soldiers to infiltrate Shuiyuan Village. Cooperate with the two thousand people there and fight an ambush battle. If there are other arrangements, I'll let you know. ”

General Lang took the order and left.

"How's the recruitment going?"

"The subordinate officials at all levels of Fengyu City led the officials to publicize the main roads in the city, and before the curfew, another 800 people were willing to come. Now they have been gathered together with the previous thousand people and are training. ”

1,800 people, still less.

Luo Bai had a hunch that everything now was just a superficial phenomenon. According to Feng Chengping's construction of the pontoon bridge, his follow-up tricks are definitely more difficult to deal with.

But since Feng Chengping made the move first, then he couldn't help but accept it.

There is nothing to do on the south shore at the moment, so you can focus on the north shore first.

"If the pontoon bridge is not built, there will not be too many of them on the shore, they should all be guarding the pontoon bridge in front, so we will do the opposite."

"Order: The two thousand soldiers and horses on the north bank, except for a small number of fireships that cooperate with the sailors to continue to harass, most of the rest are assembled, detour to the north and east, abandon the nearest pontoon bridge, and start from the fifth, or even the sixth, divide the troops and burn them for me!"

"Immediately after the operation, retreat to Shuiyuan Village. Depending on the number of pursuers, decide to fight, annihilate, or retreat. If you retreat, remember to set the village on fire to you and leave them with no tile! ”

This is already a strong wall, but it has only suffered more than 500 villagers in Shuiyuan Village.

"Find me a few people from Shuiyuan Village and Ping'an Village, I want to know something."

A series of deployments were complete, and Xue Ling went to report and came back soon

"My lord, the enemy ships are starting to dock!"

"The enemy ships form a semicircle, with the lead ship in the middle!"

Enemy ships are building a sailor camp!

But if so, won't the cars and boats near the river bank hit the bottom?

"My lord, they abandoned two boats."

In other words, the two vehicles and ships on both sides of the pontoon near the shore all bottomed out and ran aground!

In order to build a temporary sailor port, two vehicles and ships were lost, and this wind Chengping is really courageous.

"What a loser, I don't have a car or ship yet!"

Xue Lingkong listened to Luo Bai's childish complaints, and couldn't help laughing.

"And how many of these ports have they built in total?"

"It has been observed that at least four ports are in action, and it is impossible to see it further away."

After all, it's night, and vision is limited.

"Keep exploring!"

Feng Chengping put so much effort on the north shore that it looked like he was preparing to land on the north shore.

Could it be that you guessed wrong?

After all, according to the geographical location, the entire Yellow River port, except for Jinan City downstream, there are only two large wharves in the middle reaches that can transfer grain on the north bank, one is Fengyu City, and the other is Fenglingdu.

But Fenglingdu is far away to the west of Fengyu City, and the distance is too far, which is also the reason why the southern army ventured to attack Fengyu City.

However, it is pointless to occupy the northern city alone, but it is more strategic to occupy the southern city.

Luo Bai couldn't figure it out.

"It's midnight, my lord, it's time for you to rest."

Luo Bai looked at the sand table and said a little tiredly: "Yes, it's time to rest." But this is the first day, and at least nineteen days will be held, so how can we hold on to the hellish twenty days? ”
