Chapter 106: Outwitting Jiang Huanyan
At noon the next day, Huang Songsheng returned to Xiachuan Island with Niu Qingyuan, and Huang Songsheng said to Shi Luosheng with a smile on his face: "General Shi, Huang is fortunate not to be dishonored, and General Niu has also agreed to join our coalition army." ”
Niu Qingyuan saw Shi Luosheng and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "General Shi, I have admired the name for a long time, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to fight side by side with you this time." ”
Shi Luosheng was overjoyed and said: "With the help of General Niu this time, our army will definitely win a complete victory." Without further ado, while the people of our Fifth Route Army are here, let's discuss how to break the Qi army now, General Huang, you are proficient in naval warfare, so let's talk about it first. ”
Huang Songsheng looked at everyone and did not refuse, and said: "This time, Jiang Huanyan brought a hundred warships to attack Penglai, thinking that he would take Penglai in one fell swoop, and then threaten Anyang. There is nothing wrong with this plan itself, but it needs to be resolved quickly. In fact, Jiang Huanyan did not take Penglai in the first place, even if the strategy of Qi State failed, and later with the naval army of the Great Song Dynasty also put into the battlefield, Jiang Huanyan was destined to lose this time. ”
Speaking of this, Cheng asked puzzledly: "Now that the Yan and Song coalition forces are still at a disadvantage, why would General Huang say that Jiang Huanyan is destined to lose?" ”
Huang Songsheng said with a smile: "Jiang Huanyan's plan originally relied on a sneak attack, but now that the sneak attack failed, his best strategy should be to retreat." Cheng Commander, think about it, even if he takes Penglai now, and then goes to fight Anyang according to the original plan, will he still have a chance to fight? In the past half month, your Emperor Yan should have been prepared, as long as Jiang Huanyan dares to fight Anyang, he will definitely be defeated under Anyang City. No matter how powerful the Qi Navy is, it will not be the opponent of the Yan cavalry on land, and he has also been defeated at the hands of General Shi for a while, and his troops are insufficient. ”
Cheng Buxian nodded, and then agreed with Huang Songsheng's words.
Huang Songsheng continued: "The current situation Jiang Huanyan will not be unclear, even if he takes Penglai, he will not fight Anyang City." ”
Shi Luosheng echoed: "That's right, Jiang Huanyan not only didn't dare to fight Anyang City, he couldn't hold Penglai City even if he took it, Penglai is just a harbor city, it takes at least half a month to travel from the waterway to Qi State, and it is very difficult to replenish, and it is easy for Yan Kingdom to recapture Penglai." ”
Cheng Buxian asked again: "Then since it's useless to fight, why hasn't Jiang Huanyan retreated?" ”
Ling Zhen said: "Because of unwillingness, the victory that was originally easy to get flew like this, even Jiang Huanyan was inevitably unwilling." There are only two things he wants to do now, the first is to defeat the navy army that the Great Song Dynasty came to rescue, and the second is to loot Penglai after occupying it. At that time, if you withdraw, you can also have an explanation for Emperor Qi when you go back. ”
Huang Songsheng said: "Brother Ling is right, Jiang Huanyan still doesn't know that we have sent troops to Shangchuan Island and Changxing Island, and with his current strength, it is not difficult to defeat the Song State Navy or take Penglai, so there is no need to evacuate in a hurry." ”
Niu Qingyuan continued: "Jiang Huanyan must want to defeat the Song State Navy before attacking Penglai City, if he goes to fight Penglai first, as long as the Song Army sends an army to block the entrance to the sea of Penglai Port, then he will be trapped and die inside." ”
Huang Songsheng said with a smile: "Everyone is right, Jiang Huanyan's next target is Song Jun Water Village, and we will also plan to give him a good show." After speaking, he looked at Shi Luosheng.
Shi Luosheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood his thoughts: "Since Jiang Huanyan wants my water village, then I will give it to him generously." As long as he dares to come in, he will fall into our encirclement, and at that time, the warships that stayed in the water village of the Qi army saw the fire, and they would inevitably send troops out to rescue, and then Commander Ning took the opportunity to take the water village of the Qi army with the water village of the Yan country. ”
Huang Songsheng clapped his hands and said, "What the general said is very true, that's what I mean." ”
Shi Luosheng learned the lesson of being escaped by Jiang Huanyan last time, and repeatedly deduced with Huang Songsheng and others all night, and went through all the possibilities that could be thought of, and then dispersed with confidence.
Shi Luosheng, Ling Zhen, Cheng Buxian and others returned to the Song Army Water Village first, and Huang Songsheng and Niu Qingyuan also prepared their own warships and agreed to send troops two days later.
The ten warships brought by Ling Zhen from Changxing Island also never joined the Song army, and were anchored ten nautical miles away from the Song army's water village. After Ling Zhen returned, he asked Wang Chiji and the four of them to follow Shi Luosheng to the Song Army's Water Village, while he stayed on the warship on Changxing Island to command.
As soon as Shi Luosheng came back, he first arranged a small boat to send Cheng Buxian back to Penglai to report the situation to Ning Buqu, and then found Wang Lun and Liu Zixuan to tell him about the trip and the battle plan for alignment.
In the past few days when Shi Luosheng left, Jiang Huanyan personally led the army to call the battle in Shuizhai every day, Liu Zixuan first closed the door of the village and did not dare to fight, and then Jiang Huanyan didn't bother to bother anymore, and directly attacked Shuizhai.
Where can this temporary water village withstand the offensive of the Qi army, it will be crumbling in a few days, many places have collapsed, Shi Luosheng will not come back, Wang Lun also plans to hold on for two more days at most and retreat first.
The next day, Jiang Huanyan still led the army to call for battle, and Shi Luosheng took Wang Chiji and the four of them out to meet the battle.
Jiang Huanyan didn't say anything when she saw Shi Luosheng, and still ordered to storm the water village. In the face of absolute strength, a strong attack is the best strategy, and under the leadership of Shi Luosheng, the Song army barely held for two days.
On the third day, Jiang Huanyan appeared with more than forty warships, this time anyone could see that it was impossible for the Song army to defend the water village, Jiang Huanyan in order to prevent Shi Luosheng from escaping again, and also brought out all the warships except for the Qi army water village.
At the beginning of the battle, Jiang Huanyan first invested twenty warships to attack head-on, and the rest of the warships bypassed the water village, intending to outflank from behind and cut off the retreat of the Song army.
Shi Luosheng saw that the general trend had gone, and immediately asked Liu Zixuan and Wang Lun to lead the troops to retreat first, and he and Wang Chiji and others led seven or eight warships to break down.
Jiang Huanyan saw that Liu Zixuan and the others were about to escape, and she didn't care, and ordered all the warships to give up the pursuit and come over to attack Shi Luosheng.
Jiang Huanyan drove to Shi Luosheng and said with a smile: "You didn't leave just now, and now you have no chance to escape even if you want to." But don't worry, for the sake of the fourth brother, I won't kill you. After catching you, I will take you back to Shangjing, if Xiao Daocheng is willing to break the alliance with Yan for you and send troops to attack Yan, I will let you go, otherwise you will stay in Shangjing forever. ”
Shi Luosheng also smiled: "The third prince's abacus is very good, but it also depends on whether you really have the ability to catch me." ”
Jiang Huanyan waved his hand, and the two Angry Jiao Gang elders Shi Jianfei and Zhang Jianfeng, who were standing behind him, jumped onto Shi Luosheng's boat, and rushed towards Shi Luosheng. Wang Chiji and Yin Baoli stepped forward, blocking Shi Luosheng behind them and blocking their way.
Just when the four of them were in the middle of a fierce battle, the Qi army had completely occupied the water village and surrounded the seven warships of Shi Luosheng.
Just when Jiang Huanyan ordered to catch the stone alive, he suddenly saw a faint cluster of sail curtains on the sea, sailing rapidly with the sea breeze.
