"The Winged King is eight thousand years old, and the little demon has once again sent a large number of ships to the east, and the front team has reached the Bali River!"

From the moment he knew that Wu Chaoyue had transferred half of the main force of the Wu Army's naval division back to Jiujiang for no reason, Shi Dakai had always had an ominous premonition in his heart, always suspecting that the old opponent Wu Chaoyue's bad habits were difficult to change, and he was going to play something to surprise himself, and the result was not surprising, only the next morning, the bad news suddenly came, Wu Chaoyue really bypassed Hukou to increase the eastern front again, and unabashedly put on a posture of ignoring Hukou to take Anqing first. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tie Qing rushed to the heights of the Dragon King Temple with a face, there was no need to raise the telescope at all, just with the naked eye, Shi Dakai had clearly seen that a large number of Wu army ships were sailing out of the Zhangjiazhou North Channel in an endless stream, under the protection of the Wu Army's naval fleet, swaggering and arrogantly turning across the Bali River, sailing into the wide main channel of the Yangtze River to gather in groups.

The Balijiang position has fallen in the last time the Wu army attacked Pengze, and there is a Wu army land division stationed to guard, and the Taiping army water division at the mouth of the lake has also been driven into the Pojiang waterway early by the main force of the Wu army's water division, and in the water camp under Shizhong Mountain, there are only some unarmed ordinary civilian boats and old tattered small pulling boats, which are reluctantly dispatched to find death in vain, causing Shi Dakai to hate it again, and he has no way to take the huge army and grain transportation fleet of the Wu army, so he can only smash the stone with his fist to vent the anger in his heart.

"Beyond the little demon is crazy, really crazy!" Zhang Suimou next to him shook his head and sighed, and said: "Ignore the main force of our army's west road that is close at hand, take the initiative to give up the advantage of water power on the Poyang Lake battlefield, and personally lead the main force to just take the downstream. ”

"Blind, see clearly, the handsome banner that surpasses the little demon is not in the demon fleet." Zeng Jinqian, who had been watching the situation of the Wu army's fleet with a telescope, said: "The handsome flag of the demon soldier fleet is hung on the flagship of their sailors, and the commander is Wang Fu. ”

Zeng Jinqian reminded Shi Dakai to take a closer look at the flag of the Wu army's fleet, and saw that the flag of Wu Junshuai was indeed only Wang Fu's banner, Shi Dakai couldn't help but be surprised again, and said in surprise: "Beyond the little demon didn't personally lead the army eastward?" Could it be that he is still in Jiujiang City? ”

"Impossible, right?" Zhang Suimou, who was congenitally short-sighted, tried hard to use a telescope to see the situation of Wu Jun's banner, and said even more surprised: "Beyond the little demon didn't bring many soldiers and horses this time?" After sending so many troops to the east, he didn't even go to the front line to personally command? ”

After carefully searching for the Wu army banner with a telescope, and making sure that he didn't see Wu Chaoyue's disgusting Wu character handsome flag, Shi Dakai didn't think much about it, and immediately roared and ordered: "Contact our detailed work in Jiujiang and find out to this king, whether the little demon is still in Jiujiang!" Remember, be sure to get the message accurate, the right message! ”

After shouting the first order, Shi Dakai decisively issued the second order, shouting: "Go to Linghukou City, immediately start to catch up with the cast iron chain anchor, the more the better!" ”

"Wing King, we have prepared enough iron chain anchors, enough to establish two lines of defense to seal the waterway of Poyang Lake at the mouth of the river." Zeng Jinqian hurriedly reminded.

"Less nonsense! Continue to cast, at least give me another set of iron cable defense lines! Shi Dakai scolded angrily, and shouted: "Besides, the matching wooden planks and sand and straw bags are also well prepared for this king!" ”

has partnered with Shi Dakai for many years, Zeng Jinqian and Zhang Suimou have certainly guessed what Shi Dakai thinks, and they did not object, but they both reminded together: "The Wing King is eight thousand years old, and he has always been scheming beyond the little demon, so he has to prevent him from deliberately going east without a banner, or pretending to exist under a false banner in Jiujiang, and taking the opportunity to do shameless things." ”

"I don't need you to say that I also know who the transcendent demon is, I know better than you." Shi Dakai replied coldly, and gritted his teeth and said: "If I don't find out the situation, I won't take risks, but if I surpass the little demon, I really rely on ...... enemy." ”

Speaking of this, Shi Dakai paused, his expression became more and more hideous, and he almost squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, "I won't miss the opportunity to avenge the soldiers!" ”

It was far easier to find out whether Wu Chaoyue was still in Jiujiang, and it was far easier than Shi Dakai and others imagined, and it was just in the afternoon, and accurate news was sent from Jiujiang, reporting that the Taiping army saw Wu Chaoyue seeing off the sailor fleet on the dock, and at the same time, there was another detailed proof that after the Wu army's sailor fleet protected the troop and grain transport ships and left Jiujiang, Wu Chaoyue really returned to Jiujiang City.

The character and morality are put there, not to mention the treacherous and suspicious Zeng Jinqian and Zhang Suimou, that is, Shi Dakai and Lin Qirong did not believe that Wu Chaoyue, who had always been greedy for life and afraid of death, would be so big, and handed over the main elite of the lineage to his subordinates to take to the front line, leaving only a few soldiers and horses by his side to protect him. Therefore, Shi Dakai and the others were not in a hurry to make an adventurous plan, but while strengthening the reconnaissance of the situation of the Wu army on the Jiujiang battlefield, they asked Xizuo to reconfirm whether Wu Chaoyue was really in Jiujiang City.

The Taiping Army's meticulous work became extremely powerful again, and it was only at noon the next day that the Taiping Army's Xizuo sent to Jiujiang to lurk again sent accurate news, which not only proved once again that Wu Chaoyue was indeed still in Jiujiang City, but also reported the detailed strength of Wu's army on the Jiujiang battlefield - only five battalions brought by Wu Chaoyue from the Hubei provincial capital (one of which was loaned to Cao Yanzhong), as well as three battalions of Liu Mingchuan's headquarters, with a total strength of eight battalions of more than 4,000 people.

After listening to the detailed report, Shi Dakai did not speak for more than ten minutes, and Zeng Jinqian, Zhang Suimou and others were also silent, all of them were nervous with grim faces. In the end, it was Lin Qirong who broke the silence first and said loudly: "The Wing King is eight thousand years old, this is an opportunity!" There is only such an army around the Transcendence Demon, and we must divide troops to guard the docks and ships outside the city, if we can seize the opportunity to break through Jiujiang City, it is not completely hopeless to capture the Transcendence Demon alive? ”

Shi Dakai and Zhang Suimou were still silent, only Zeng Jinqian said slowly: "Zhen Tianhou, if you dare to surpass the little demon like this, you will have his certainty." Besides, you have also seen the firepower of the descendants of the little demon in Balijiang, even if it is five battalions, it is not so easy to deal with. ”

"But we also have foreign guns and cannons!" Lin Qirong's voice was even louder, "Winged King 8,000 years old, you have fast-fire foreign guns (firing needle guns), long-shot foreign guns (Mini guns) and explosive cannons (flower cannons), and the last general also has the guns of the Rakshasa Kingdom here, as long as the Wing King 8,000 years old you decide to fight this battle, the last general is willing to take out all these foreign guns and foreign cannons!" ”

Shi Dakai still didn't say anything, but he felt like a hungry wolf who saw a fresh lamb, and the lamb was crawling there bleating, but he only dared to wander around the lamb, wanting to pounce and tear the lamb to pieces, but also afraid that the lamb was a deadly trap under his feet.

After another period of time, Zhang Suimou said slowly: "The Wing King is eight thousand years old, now we have two choices, one is to move eastward quickly, first go to Jiande to meet Huang Wenjin's department, and then flow east across the river to the north, return to the important town of Anqing, and drag down the speed of the advance beyond the little demon according to the original plan, so as to buy time for our downstream deployment." ”

"The second option." Zhang Suimou's tone suddenly became a little more serious, and said: "Take advantage of the main force of the sailor division that surpasses the little demon to advance eastward, and the division will garrison Anqing, and quickly build a pontoon bridge at the mouth of Poyang Lake, cut off the road out of the lake that surpasses the little demon water division, and at the same time let our Hukou water division drive out of the Pojiang River, contain the water division that surpasses the little demon, and make them unable to quickly break through our Hukou defense line and rush back to the outer river to support the Jiujiang battlefield,"

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, our main force quickly crossed the lake, concentrated superior forces to attack Jiujiang City, and made every effort to win Jiujiang, capture and surpass the little demon, and lay down the victory in one fell swoop!"

The eyes of everyone present have been focused on Shi Dakai, but Shi Dakai still didn't say a word, looking at the direction of Jiujiang in the west, Shi Dakai also seemed to see his old opponent Wu Chaoyue standing on the shore of Poyang Lake, contemptuously raised his little finger to himself and hooked it again and again, and said even more contemptuously, "Come on, come over if you have a kind." ”

After crossing the lake according to Zhang Suimou's battle plan, once he could not quickly capture Jiujiang Jiancheng and kill Wu Chaoyue, whose hands were stained with the blood of the Taiping soldiers, and gave the main force of the Wu army time and opportunity to return to Jiujiang, then the Wu army's sailors, who had an absolute advantage in water power, only needed to destroy the Taiping army's pontoon bridge across the lake, and the Taiping army team on the Jiujiang battlefield had to become a turtle in the urn, and it was difficult to fly away with wings!

Risks and opportunities coexist, the risks are great, and the opportunities are even more rare, Shi Dakai, who is already a little indecisive, will inevitably make a more difficult choice, and after pondering for a long time, he still said: "Don't worry, let me think about it again, and make a decision later." ”

The time of the eight-thousand-year-old Shi Dakai of the Wing King was very different, and he would make a decision after a while, but Lin Qirong, Zeng Jinqian and others, who were looking forward to it, waited from one o'clock in the afternoon until almost six o'clock in the evening, without waiting for Shi Dakai to make a decision. As a result, when the soldiers whispered to persuade Shi Dakai to have some dinner, someone suddenly came to report outside the door, saying that Wu Chaoyue had sent an envoy across the river and asked to meet Shi Dakai.

Knowing that Wu Chaoyue must be playing tricks again, Shi Dakai still couldn't suppress his curiosity, and ordered to summon Wu Chaoyue's envoy, and the result was that soon, a man dressed as a Confucian was led to Shi Dakai, and after saluting respectfully, he said straight to the point: "His Royal Highness the King of Wings, our King of Zhennan knows that you are leaving, and specially sent a small envoy to give you a farewell gift, as well as a handwritten letter, please smile." ”

"This king is leaving? A farewell gift? What do you mean? Shi Dakai asked with some doubts.

"The little envoy doesn't know." The envoy of Wu Jun said respectfully: "The king of Zhennan is just a small envoy to bring words, saying that His Royal Highness the Wing King, you can understand everything after reading the gifts and letters. ”

Very puzzled, after letting the guards present the gifts brought by the Wu army envoy with the ship, Shi Dakai found that Wu Chaoyue gave him a jar of Xiaogan rice wine, a famous product of Hubei, and even more puzzled After opening the letter presented by the Wu army envoy, Shi Dakai also recognized at a glance that the letter was indeed Wu Chaoyue's own handwriting - the handwriting was ugly and shocking, not to mention, it was also in the vernacular with punctuation - these three signboards were Wu Chaoyue's exclusive products, and there was no semicolon.

The content of the letter is as follows: "Shi Dakai, knowing that you are going to retire from the army and go to Jiande, hurry up and send you a gift, lest people say that I am unkind, and I finally get together again, and it is not interesting enough for my friends who have formed an alliance and side by side, and I do not have the demeanor of the king of Zhennan." ”

"I know that you are in a difficult situation now, and you are afraid of traps in the decisive battle with me in Poyang Lake, but you are worried about missing the fighter plane in the decisive battle of the lake, and you are afraid of wolves and tigers, and you can't make up your mind when your hair is gray. But it's really a problem, no matter who you change, you have to carefully weigh the consequences, not to mention you who always feel that you have a heavy responsibility? ”

"Don't worry, go to Jiande, it's safest for you to withdraw Jiande, you don't have to worry about falling into the trap, and you don't have to worry about me taking the opportunity to hunt you down, when you get to Jiande, there is still Huang Wenjin to call, pretend to give him the opportunity to atone for his sins, and take the opportunity to force him to be a target in front, this is your favorite choice."

"Don't feel embarrassed, after so many years of hard work, it's really not easy to climb from a farmer to your current point, the glory and wealth have not enjoyed enough, and the son of a daughter can't sit down, so can it be like Qiu Ba below, say you have to fight? Don't worry, no one will laugh at you, especially if I don't have the face to laugh at you, after all, I don't have the courage to take the remaining army across Poyang Lake and fight with you. ”

"Without further ado, with the virtues of your mother-in-law, you will definitely suspect that I am writing this letter to deliberately provoke you to cross the lake and fight a decisive battle. Or it is the opposite, which makes you even more suspicious that Jiujiang is a trap, and you dare not cross Poyang Lake, so you quickly run away to Jiande with your tail between your legs, and play you again. ”

"I don't bother to explain to you, you can think about it as much as you like, I only advise you, do things like a man, don't always look forward and backward like a girl, and embarrass the man with the handle in the world."

"By the way, I will send you a jar of Xiaogan rice wine, this wine tastes sweet and not spicy, and it is not easy to get drunk, so it is the most suitable for you to drink. You can also boil poached eggs to eat, and the women of Wuchang Hanyang eat like this during confinement to replenish their bodies. ”

At the end of the letter, which was extremely contemptuous, Wu Chaoyue deliberately didn't even leave his name behind. It's a pity that Shi Dakai, who was already about to go crazy, didn't notice Wu Chaoyue's good intentions, and after the green tendons on his forehead jumped violently for a long time, Shi Dakai still clenched his fists tightly, and said to the Wu army envoy word by word: "Go back and tell the little demon to wash his neck and wait for death!" ”

The envoy of the Wu army promised and immediately left under the guidance of Shi Dakai's guards, but as soon as the envoy of the Wu army left with his front foot, Shi Dakai picked up the altar of Xiaogan rice wine in front of him with his hind foot, and fell heavily on the ground in front of him, the aroma of wine overflowed, and Shi Dakai's roar almost tore the eardrums of the Taiping army next to him......

"Surpass the little demon, insult me too much!"

…………

Under the surveillance of the Taiping Army scout clipper, the small boat on which the Wu army envoy was riding successfully returned to the Jiujiang Wharf when it was just dark, and quickly entered the city to see Wu Chaoyue, who was still acting for the official documents, and truthfully reported Shi Dakai's reaction and reply, Wu Chaoyue nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "It's hard work, go down and receive the reward, and if you have it, the official will be promoted to one level." ”

The envoy of the Wu army, who volunteered to take the risk, thanked him happily and left, and Wu Chaoyue turned to Wu Dadao next to him and ordered: "Contest, send someone to send an order to strengthen the monitoring of the Meijiazhou area, and if there is any abnormality, no matter when, you must immediately report it to me." ”

After Wu Dadao also took the order and left, Dai Wenjie next to him asked curiously: "King Zhennan, how is it?" Shi Dakai that long hair, did you fall for your agitation plan? ”

"I can't say I'm completely sure, but at least eighty percent." Wu Chaoyue smiled and said: "Unless the thickness of Shi Dakai's face suddenly increases by leaps and bounds, with his usual personality and temper, there will be a move tonight." ”

Wu Chaoyue expected that it was more than half of the second watch in the night, and there were scouts in the Meijiazhou area across the lake from Shizhong Mountain, saying that there were Taiping Army ships on the lake, and it seemed that they were rushing to build a pontoon bridge overnight. ”

Shi Dakai, who was in a state of frenzy, reproduced the miracle of his defeat of Zeng Guofan at Hukou in history, and commanded the soldiers of the Taiping Army to build three pontoon bridges across the lake at the mouth of Poyang Lake in just one night, filling the soil under the pontoon bridge, and building a barrier on the bridge, temporarily cutting off the connection between the Jiujiang Wu Army and the Neihu Wu Army's Naval Division Xu Laibu.

There are ways to prevent the Taiping army from rushing to build pontoon bridges, but Wu Chaoyue has always stood still, or when it was confirmed that the main force of the Taiping army at Hukou was crossing the lake through the pontoon bridges in large numbers, Wu Chaoyue ordered with a relaxed smile: "Send a telegram to Daye and the provincial capital ......." ”
