Chapter 490: A Sudden Decisive Battle

Now the Ryukyus have received more than 2 million people, Luzon has also received nearly 1 million, and more than 1 million people are stranded in the Zhoushan Islands waiting for transportation.

In the past few months, Zhang San has mobilized all the ships that can be mobilized to transport people and grain, if Zhang San hadn't robbed a lot of ships, he wouldn't have been able to transport so many people at all, but the disadvantages are not without it.

When there are too many people, they can't take care of them, and some people just throw them away, give them some food and farm tools, and have an experienced village chief to divide the land for everyone, and then everything else is left alone.

Fortunately, the survivability of the Han people is strong, in order to reclaim their own land as soon as possible, everyone broke out with great enthusiasm, of course, Zhang San also needs to regularly transport materials to various places, otherwise it is not appropriate to really throw it away.

Immigrants to Ryukyu Island who bring their own grain are welcome, and in order to appear fair, as long as they have enough food in stock, Ryukyu will no longer distribute grain, but give the equivalent of copper coins for subsistence food.

Unlike the Ryukyus, the Luzon region allowed fishing boats to enter the sea early on, and although Southeast Asia claims to be able to cross with a single plank, there are really not many people who dare to run on a fishing boat, so with the replenishment of fish, everyone's food will not be monotonous.

In this way, Zhang San has more than 5 million Han people in his hands, plus the total population of slaves exceeds 7 million, as long as he develops with peace of mind for a few years to dominate the world, there is no problem at all, not to mention much, as long as he has 300,000 troops in his hands, he will definitely not be aggrieved in Yangzhou City.

Zhang San was satisfied with his huge gain, and Xu Guanzhong hurriedly walked in outside and said: "Your Majesty, the 30,000 army forces in Hangzhou should be transferred over quickly, and the various fleets of the navy have also sent a group of marines to enrich the defense of Yangzhou City. ”

Zhang San was shocked and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Guanzhong pointed outside and said, "It's going to rain." ”

Zhang San is strange that it is raining, what are you excited about when it rains? It's raining? It's raining! Zhang San hurriedly asked, "It's raining?" How big is it? How long is it down? ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't know about this, but according to the local elders, I am afraid that this rain will fall for more than three days, and it will be a downpour." ”

Zhang San was not calm immediately, he had always relied on fire oil weapons to win, and the effect of firearms would definitely be greatly affected by this heavy rain, and it was impossible for Tong Guan not to take this opportunity to attack, so I am afraid that these three days will be the time to decide his fate.

Zhang San was still relatively calm and asked, "When will it rain heavily?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said, "In the last two days. ”

Zhang San turned around twice and said: "Even if the army of Hangzhou City can be successfully loaded after one day, it will take three days to reach Yangzhou, I'm afraid it will be too late, right?" ”

Xu Guanzhong shook his head and said: "There should be no problem with 40,000 defenders in our city to defend it for three days, as long as we can catch up at the critical moment, then Yangzhou City can be saved." ”

Zhang San waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, things haven't happened like this yet, haven't we thought about this situation, haven't we already had a corresponding plan?" You're in a daze. ”

Xu Guanzhong listened to Zhang San's words, and slowly calmed down, Zhang San continued: "Although the oil bomb is affected, it is not completely unusable, although the ballista may be affected by moisture, it is not impossible to hit, and the torrential rain will not stop all the time. ”

Zhang San said confidently: "Even so, so what, don't forget that we still have grenades, and there are still 30,000 navies that can be called upon at any time, I am not too worried about the victory or defeat of Yangzhou now, but I am thinking about whether we can defeat the Song army on the opposite side." ”

Xu Guanzhong completely regained his former calm and composure after being told by Zhang San, he has been busy and confused recently, and after relaxing, he also smiled bitterly for a while, thinking of Zhang San's suggestion, his eyes lit up, yes, this is not an opportunity for the Ryukyu Army.

Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I think we can let the 30,000 people near Jiankang enter Yangzhou Mansion, and then let the 30,000 people in Hangzhou land near Taizhou, and then go around from the north of Yangzhou City to the north of the forbidden army to attack, and when the time comes, the troops in the city will attack together, and they will definitely be able to defeat the other party in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang San thought about it and asked, "Is 30,000 too little?" Should you transfer 10,000 people each from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and send 10,000 people to the Ryukyu fleet to organize 60,000 troops, so that it is safer. ”

Xu Guanzhong thought about it and felt reasonable, Zhang San immediately asked him to prepare the battle plan and arrange the deployment, and Xu Guanzhong hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you have been delaying in Yangzhou for a long time, it is better to return to Tamsui as soon as possible, for several months in the Ryukyus, many things are unresolved, please leave the king as soon as possible." ”

Zhang San looked at Xu Guanzhong and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Yangzhou City can't be broken, even if Yangzhou City is broken, I can also kill the opponent's center with one person and one horse to take Tong Guan's dog head, this raid I will let you see what the role of the god general is." ”

Xu Guanzhong was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, you can't ...... it." ”

Zhang San smiled and said, "Don't worry! It's not me who goes, you'll know when the time comes. ”

When Zhang San was preparing, no one in Tong Guan's camp knew this, but the atmosphere in the camp was still very tense, the emperor asked the thief to break the time limit, Tong Guan was in a hurry, so he urged the generals to think of strategies, but the generals had no good way, so Tong Guan had to abuse every day.

On the second day, Tong Guan was cursing in the camp, and a soldier from outside came to report that the Ryukyu bandits had suddenly withdrawn the 30,000 bandit troops surrounding Jiankang.

In the afternoon, the news finally came, 30,000 bandit troops entered Yangzhou City, angry Tong Guan scolded, it was not easy to fight, now there are additional troops, now it is not more difficult to fight, just when everyone is at a loss, the sky is windy, the sky is suddenly dark, and it looks like heavy rain is coming.

Everyone scolded the bad luck and hurriedly ran back to the camp, when suddenly Shan Tingqi laughed: "My lord, God help my lord!" ”

Tong Guan looked at him strangely, and Shan Tingqi pointed to the sky and said, "My lord, it's raining!" The Ryukyu Army's oil bombs were useless. ”

Tong Guan was overjoyed when he heard it and said, "Prepare to attack!" The first to break the city will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be ten thousand! ”

So the 200,000 Song army was mainly 100,000 people at the west gate, supplemented by 50,000 each at the north and south gates, and the soldiers on the city wall were covering the fire bombs and grenades with canvas to prevent them from getting damp for a while. The atmosphere of the war gradually became more and more solemn as the weather became gloomy.
