Quanzhou's seaside is Lu Ren's flagship bridge. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xu Shu, who was covered in dust, knelt down at Lu Ren's hand at this moment, his face full of guilt: "Brother, I'm sorry!" If I hadn't been unprepared......"

Lu Ren shook his head: "Yuanzhi, get up." I can't blame you for today's events, and I have a great responsibility myself...... Why, I thought that Sun Quan would recover his national strength after the Battle of Chibi, and he would be busy fighting Hefei, and in addition, he would be entangled with Liu Yuzhou, and he would not care about me here, but I didn't expect him to dare to do it to me at this time! ”

Everyone in the cabin let out a sigh. Just like Lu Ren said, everyone thought that Sun Quan would not be able to take care of Lu Ren's affairs during this time, otherwise he would not approve of Lu Ren's previous visit to Jiaozhou. But the more this happened, the more Sun Quan stabbed Lu Ren at this time. But then again, if it weren't for that, Sun Quan's knife might not have been able to be stabbed.

After everyone sighed, Lu Ren came to the porthole and looked at Quanzhou City over there silently. When Xu Shu came to Lu Ren's side, Lu Ren asked in a low voice, "The people in the city have let them escape from the city, right?" ”

Xu Shu said: "I escaped as early as last night." Some people still wanted to stay in the city, but I warned that when the city was broken, it would be burned and looted by the Wu army, so in the end they fled with the crowd. ”

Lu Ren asked again: "How many soldiers are there under your command, Yuan Zhi?" ”

Xu Shu said: "Of the nearly 4,000 soldiers, there are now less than 2,000 left; The more than 1,000 female soldiers brought by Xue Changshi are still ...... There were more than 600 people left. As for the rest, it is unknown for the time being, but it is ...... a trick."

Lu Ren smashed his fist on the bulkhead, and said hatefully: "Just because of our negligence, we have lost more than half of the personnel!" ”

The other people were silent together, and after a long time, Xu Shu asked a little puzzled: "Brother, although our losses are very large, if I lead the remnants to continue to hold the city, the plan can still last for a few days, and it should be enough until the main reinforcements of Huang Hansheng and Gan Xingba arrive, but why does my brother want me to lead the remnants to abandon the city and flee?" Even if my brother has a last resort, he should let me set fire to the money and grain in the Quanzhou treasury, how can I leave it to Wu Jun like this? ”

Hearing this, Lu Ren turned around, looked at Xu Shu, Liu Ye, and Xue Li in the cabin, and shook his head lightly: "I know you will be a little incomprehensible now, but I have my plan in my heart." ”

Saying that, Lu Ren sighed, and continued: "Yuan Zhi, I know that you can still hold on, but Sun Quan's reinforcements have already set off from Huiji, and our detailed investigation is a little late. Now they are traveling along the coast, and it is planned that they will be able to reach Quanzhou in five days at most. Our strength was already inferior to Sun Quan, and now we have suffered such losses, and it will not be good for us to fight hard like this. So didn't Sun Quan take advantage of my unpreparedness and hit me off guard? I'm going to give him a hard back. ”

Xu Shu turned his head to ask Liu Ye, but Liu Ye shook his head at Xu Shu, because Liu Ye didn't know what Lu Ren was thinking now. When he wanted to ask Lu Ren another question, he heard Lu Ren sneer on the side: "If you keep more things, those animals will be reluctant to leave; If more money, food, and ordnance are left, Lu Meng will have the confidence to hold on until Sun Quan comes to help......"

Xu Shu and Liu Yexin are talking nonsense! Now that Lü Meng occupies the city and has plenty of food and grass, of course he will defend the city until Sun Quan's reinforcements arrive. And what did Lu Ren want to do when he gave up Quanzhou City like this?

After a pause, Xu Shu finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother, is there something wrong with Huang Hansheng and Gan Xingba's fleet, which can't arrive in Quanzhou on time, so that my brother has to let me abandon the city?" ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, in fact, they have already arrived, and I asked them not to approach Quanzhou for the time being." ”

"Huh!?"

――――――――――――――――――――

In the blink of an eye, it was already evening.

Sergeant Wu ransacked the city of Quanzhou almost frantically for a day, and at this time they were all fully loaded, eating and drinking in the afterglow of the setting sun, so uncomfortable. Lu Meng didn't restrain him too much about this, after all, his troops were tired enough in the past few months, and he had to let the soldiers relax for a while.

In addition, before noon, Lu Ren's fleet had already left the sea area on the other side of the dock. Lu Meng had already calculated that with the size of Lu Ren's fleet, even if the Quanzhou defenders who arrived were added, the total strength would not exceed 5,000. After a fierce battle, Lü Meng's troops lost several thousand, but now there are still more than 15,000 people.

Three times the strength of Lu Ren, and it is still defending a city with sufficient military supplies, even if Lu Ren has the ability, it seems unlikely that he will be able to counterattack Quanzhou City, so it is only right to retreat in time to save troops. So at this time, Lu Meng didn't have too many actions except for the necessary patrol police.

Just like that, the sky was getting darker. Suddenly, the soldier Wu on the seaside of Quanzhou City saw the faint shadow of the ship, and hurried to report to Lu Meng. Lu Meng hurriedly came when he heard the news, and after examining it very carefully, he smiled: "I have long heard that although Lu Ren is good at governing the government and managing the people, he is not good at using troops in battle, and today I know that this is true." After the loss of Quanzhou City, he refused to give up, and wanted to find a chance to take it back, right? The idea is correct, but if you want to attack the city, shouldn't you also find a better beachhead to land and set up? Do you want to attack the city from this direction? Do you think your soldiers don't die enough? ”

I want to talk about it in detail here. As a port city, one side of the city wall of Quanzhou City was built along the coast, and the terrain was only a few dozen meters away from the coast. The depth of the beachhead is not suitable for the construction of a wharf, that is, it is not suitable for the docking of ships. To put it simply, after the city wall was built here, the army had nowhere to stand and attack, and the navy had nowhere to dock ships, so it was the easiest side of the city walls in Quanzhou City to defend. Lu Ren chose such a place to park the boat, didn't this make Lu Meng feel extremely funny?

However, laughing is laughing, Lu Meng naturally asked the soldiers to be careful, so as not to be played by Lu Ren to steal chickens. However, in this night, Lu Meng didn't notice that the ships on the other side were actually not quite the same as the ones they had seen in the waters of Quanzhou Pier before.

Lu Meng didn't mention how he was prepared for the time being, but said that on a certain fleet here, Gan Ning hugged his fist to Lu Ren and said: "General, all the ships have docked to the designated position, and the next ......"

Lu Ren said coldly: "It's all ready, right?" Let's shoot! ”

Gan Ning was stunned, took two steps forward and said, "General, please think twice!" That, that's the Quanzhou city that we built with great difficulty! Although there was a mistake before Huang Hansheng, but now that he has arrived with the army, he can ...... it."

Lu Ren said: "We can't afford to fight!" If you and Huang Zhong had come over a few days earlier, maybe we would have been able to do it, but now...... Needless to say, I ordered all ships to fire cannons at Quanzhou City! ”

"But the General!"

Lu Ren glared at Gan Ning fiercely. And Lu Ren, who has always been polite and polite, but Gan Ning couldn't help but shrink back at this glance. Seeing Lu Ren squeeze away from Gan Ning, he came to a cannon on the deck, and reached out and grabbed the igniter in the soldier's hand.

Lu Ren originally wanted to light the fire immediately, but suddenly withdrew his hand. Gan Ning felt a little relieved when he saw this, thinking that Lu Ren was also hesitating in his heart, but unexpectedly, Lu Ren suddenly shouted hoarsely in the direction of Quanzhou City: "Lu Meng, you listen to me!" In terms of planning or leading troops to fight, I, Lu Ren, know that I am not a decent character, not your opponent! But Lao Tzu will open his hanging, and he will open the golden finger, what can you do with Lao Tzu!? ”

Everyone was taken aback by Lu Ren's roar, and at the same time, except for Shirley, who was following Lu Ren, no one understood what Lu Ren's shouting of "open hanging" and "opening golden finger" meant. But they didn't have time to think, the igniter in Lu Ren's hand had already lit the fuse on the cannon in front of them. After a short "hissing" fuse ignition sound, with a muffled sound of the muzzle, a cannonball with a fire flew towards the head of Quanzhou City over there. And then there was the earth-shattering explosion on the ground.

"What are you doing in a daze!? It's all about firing a cannon at Lao Tzu, a cannon! This Quanzhou City, Lao Tzu doesn't want it! ”

With Lu Ren's scolding, everyone in each boat reacted, and began to light the fuse for a while, so one after another cannonballs flew towards the city of Quanzhou with firelight. And in this dark night, the barrage intertwined with the flames of those shells is as dazzling as beautiful fireworks.

How many gunboats does Lu Ren have? Not much, limited by the production capacity of Yizhou, so far there are actually only 70. In peacetime, except for the thirty that could not be easily mobilized by the Yizhou defense, the remaining forty were mainly assigned to the fleets of Gan Ning and Huang Zhong. But this time, Lu Ren even transferred ten gunboats from Yizhou, plus Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's forty, a total of fifty gunboats.

On average, the number of guns on one side of each gunboat was eighteen...... Note that it is an average, because although there are not many gunboats now, there are already light and large ones. In short, the total of 50 guns now is a total of more than 900 guns of 18x50 that are constantly firing at Quanzhou City.

At present, the effective range of these artillery pieces is only about two thousand meters, but the water area chosen by Lu Ren is only a few dozen meters away from the Quanzhou city wall, and the farthest distance of the fleet from the Quanzhou city wall is only two hundred meters, plus the scale of Quanzhou City is not large, so the fleet artillery can basically cover the entire Quanzhou City.

Looking at the crews of the ships, they were still a little hesitant at first, after all, they were firing at the city that originally belonged to them. But after the first few shots passed, the fire that the crew had suppressed in their hearts was also beaten out...... If you lose your own city, it will no longer be your own! And at this time, it should be like Lu Ren roared:

"Fire! Shoot me! I just want Sun Quan to know that my Lu Ren's city is not so easy to occupy! I'd rather destroy it with my own hands than keep your cheap Sun Quan!! (To be continued.) )
