The fifty-first round of attacking Pushihui retreated

Panyu at this time is modern Guangzhou. However, the topography of Guangzhou at that time was different from now, it was the Pearl River Delta, and after two thousand years of accumulation, there would definitely be many more places.

During this period, most places in the Pearl River Delta have not yet been impacted. Foshan and Shunde are still the sea, Macao, Zhuhai and Zhongshan are on the same island, and the east of Jiangmen City is the coastline, and within this bay, there are many large and small islands.

The town of Nanhai was captured, and the offensive in Hepu County began. Li Jun's fleet was carrying Yu Dayou's army, which he placed in Gaoliang County, near Nanhai County. After Yu Dayou went ashore, he attacked Gaoliang, and then moved to Linyun County. Gaoliang and Linyun are the east of Hepu, and they are very far away from other counties.

Therefore, Yu Dayou strategically needed to help Ding Feng attack these two county towns, and after leaving the defenders and the officials appointed by Meng Jian, he returned to the sea and once again took Li Jun's warship to the west.

Ding Feng took Pan Zhang's fleet to the Leizhou Peninsula, at both ends of the Qiongzhou Strait, and Xuwen County and Zhuyazhou in Hepu looked at the sea. This county order of Xuwen County is the Taishou Shi of Hepu County, and he has always had the position of Xuwen County Order. The county seat of Xuwen is also on the seaside, which is very conducive to an attack at sea.

Pan Zhang put down Ding Feng's army and attacked Xu Wen with him. Xu Wen said that it was a county seat, which was not as good as a small town in the Central Plains, because it was really too small. As soon as Pan Zhang put Ding Feng down, he didn't have time to drive the warship over, Ding Feng took the front army and took Xuwen County with a charge. Leaving the officials and defenders behind, Ding Feng left again.

Ding Feng went directly to Hepu this time, which is actually not far from the coast. However, because the navy did not have specific information about the coast, Ding Feng was placed at the mouth of the river nearly a hundred miles away.

Ding Feng took the army and Meng Jian and other officials, and after getting off the ship, Pan Zhang evacuated, and he had to return to Zhuyazhou. He wants to attack Zhu Yazhou, this is his main task this time, and as for Ding Feng's backup, Li Jun will naturally complete it.

Ding Feng sent scouts to find Hepu's location while waiting for Li Jun's fleet. In order to attract the fleet, Ding Feng would find a high ground near the camp every day, light a cigarette during the day and a fire at night, and give Li Jun direction. Generally, seaports will have some coordinates, and lighthouses are the best choice. However, there is no such thing as a lighthouse in China, and they all use beacons. This has something to do with the fact that Chinese people like to be square, whether it is the earth, the city, or the beacon tower, they are all square.

Zhang Yi also proposed to build a lighthouse in the harbor, but this project is a bit big and cannot be completed in a short time. How high should the lighthouse be built? This is a problem, the construction is too high, without this technology, if it is too short, it will not be of much use. Moreover, the fuel for the lighthouse is also a big problem, it consumes too much oil, and the waste of manpower with wood requires dozens of people to complete the transportation alone, and the supply may be insufficient.

Someone found the smoke and fire that Ding Feng had lit, and when he detected his army, he reported it to Shi Cheng. After Shi Cheng learned the news, he was very frightened, and there were not enough soldiers in Hepu County, so he hurriedly sent a letter to Shi Hui, asking him to return to Hepu for rescue as soon as possible.

About five or six days later, Li Jun and Yu Dayou's sea ships also came, and after Ding Feng and Yu Dayou converged, they transported enough supplies from Li Jun's warship, and then followed the road discovered by the scouts and headed straight for Hepu. Li Jun's fleet set sail again and returned to the port of Shanghai along the coastline for resupply.

Four days after Ding Feng and Yu Dayou arrived outside Hepu City, Hepu City was already facing a great enemy, and it was very tightly defended.

After Shi Cheng wrote a letter to Shihui, he mobilized soldiers to the nearby county seats, including Zhulu in Hepu, Anguang and Alin in Yulin County, and Bushan County in Zhishuo. Shi Cheng gathered more than 3,000 people in Hepu, and it seemed that he could defend for a while, so Shi Cheng was relieved.

Ding Feng and Yu Dayou surrounded Hepu, and then cut down wood to build engineering equipment. Hepu City was already on guard, and the two of them were not in a hurry to attack the city.

After Fengyang's Shihui received Shiji's letter, he was very surprised. He handed the letter to Wu Ju and said, "I will return to Hepu tomorrow, and Hepu is attacked by the enemy. ”

Wu Juju was shocked, he read the letter, and couldn't help asking, "Where did this enemy come from?" ”

Shi Hui shook his head and said, "I don't know, my uncle just said that the enemy came from the sea, and the flag he was carrying was a T-shape." However, my uncle said that the number of enemy troops and their elites was around 5,000. “

"It can't be Zhang Yi's army too, right?" Wu Ju said: "You must know that Zhang Yi's army is very powerful. ”

"I don't know!" Shihui said: "But my uncle said that they are still waiting for reinforcements, and it is estimated that the entire army will not be less than 10,000." When I came, I brought soldiers from the other counties, and now that Hepu has been attacked, and the other counties may also be attacked, I will go back tomorrow, and this place will be left to you. ”

"Huh?" Wu Ju said in a panic: "You can't go!" ”

Shi Hui said: "I can't blame me, I have always said that I want to attack the enemy camp outside the city, but you have always disagreed. Now that Hepu is under attack, I can't let my uncle go. ”

Wu Ju had nothing to say, he really had no reason to leave Shihui now. The next day, he could only watch Shihui leave with 20,000 soldiers, Wu Ju calculated that his defense of Fengyang was a little unreliable, and he quickly withdrew his troops and returned to Guangxin. Guangxin is his place of governance, he has been operating here for many years, and he is rich in baggage.

Wu Ju retreated, Lin Fengxiang was happy, and their retreat showed that the navy had arrived in Jiaozhou and was attacking other counties. Lin Fengxiang happily stationed in Fengyang, and then sent someone to Zhongsu County to inquire about the news.

After the envoy arrived at Zhongsu, he learned that Nanhai County had been completely taken. The envoy immediately rushed to Panyu, met Gu Shao and Sun Wuzhong, and asked Sun Wuzhong to send troops to assist Lin Fengxiang in attacking Cangwu. Gu Shao and Sun Wuzhong discussed it and agreed, Sun Wuzhong went west to attack Gaoyao County in Cangwu County, and Gu Shao asked Jiang Qin to send someone to inform Ding Feng and others in Hepu, telling them that Shihui had returned to Hepu. and informed Shi Tao, who was with Meng Jian, to let him go to Cangwu to take office after capturing Hepu County.

Sun Wuzhong went up the river from Gaoyao, captured Duanxi County, and then went north to Guangxin, and joined forces with Lin Fengxiang.

Wu Ju was besieged in Guangxin and was dumbfounded again. He never thought that there would be a group of enemy troops from the south, he was trapped and died in Guangxin, and if he wanted to escape from the city, he could only escape from the water, but Guangxin did not have many ships and could not take the army away.
