Chapter 471: Xiao Li Guanghuarong
With the experience of the last time, how could Zhang San let the other party get his wish, and immediately pressed the whole army, the Qingzhou army was much better than Dong Ping's Dongping army, at least it did not collapse immediately after the commander was captured.
It's just that this can only be compared to the Dongping army, there is still a big gap compared to Zhang San's troops, after the battle, a salvo was killed, and then when it rushed to thirty steps, a large wave of black and slimy things were thrown out on the side of the Ryukyu army, and then there was a ping-pong explosion.
The Qingzhou army was completely dispersed, and Zhang San was also very satisfied with the good effect of the grenade's debut. The infantry was immediately ordered to pursue and outflank the cavalry, so the Qingzhou army was surrounded before they had time to run far.
It's just that the matter didn't end like this, just when Zhang San thought that the rest was to pack up the prisoners, he didn't expect that the five hundred cavalry and two thousand infantry in Dengzhou City would kill together, and these Qingzhou troops also saw hope and began to break through.
Zhang San saw that there was nothing to do, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat, not for the sake of these thousands of captives in the loss of their precious cavalry, so the two sides slowly separated, Zhang San captured more than 300 prisoners and retreated.
Compared with these captives, what made Zhang San more interested was who this person who came out to reinforce him, originally Wang Huan wanted to catch the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to fight with Wang Huan for five or six rounds without winning or losing, although some were defeated, but Zhang San estimated that the other party also had first-class strength.
However, looking at the age of more than forty years old, it should be a local military general in Dengzhou, the Great Song Dynasty is so big, there are so many people, there must be a lot of outstanding figures, the reason why Zhang San is interested is that he can't stick to it in the past few days, which proves that he has a plan, and being able to rescue friendly troops at such a critical time proves that he is brave.
After a while, the news came back, and it was a Dengzhou soldier named Xu Liang who went out of the city to rescue, Zhang San remembered this person and patiently waited for the situation to change. The next day, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, who Zhang San was waiting for, finally arrived.
Xiao Li Guang spent the New Year in Ryukyu, so now he is an undercover agent of Zhang San in the Great Song Dynasty, seeing that Xiao Li Guang is coming, Zhang San also knows that it is time to retreat, when Xiao Li Guanghuarong played on the third day, Zhang San's men fought a few games casually, and they avoided the village.
At night, the various units boarded the ships one after another, and at dawn, the army guarding Dengzhou also withdrew, and Hua Rong symbolically pursued for a while, capturing a camp, and then Dengzhou began to write that he had repelled pirate attacks, and that the killings and injuries were not counted.
The Ryukyu army retreated to Zhenwei Island, leaving Zhang Shun to lead sixty warships to stay in the Bohai Sea, and the garrison Miaodao has been making the appearance of attacking the coast of Dengzhou at any time, the Great Song Dynasty, at first it was only a pirate attack, but later I heard that the Dengzhou Naval Division was annihilated. The number of pirates was no less than 100,000, and they were so frightened that they immediately sent troops from the states of the Upper East Road to help.
As a result, even the two support armies lost the main general, and there was no one in this battle, and the Qingzhou army was the main general and deputy general who were captured by the other party in a battle, which was really a great shame, Gao Yu was about to consider whether to draw elite soldiers from other places, and news came from Shangdong East Road that the pirates were repelled by the Dengzhou military and civilians.
Of course, Hua Rong's credit has been heavily mentioned, which is in stark contrast to Dong Ping, Qin Ming and others. Before Gao Yu had time to breathe a sigh of relief, news came that the pirates had attacked Rushanzhai in Muping County, and Gao Yu was immediately busy mobilizing troops.
Zhang Shun was responsible for attacking the Shandong coast, and after a short period of repair, most of Zhang San's fleet was quickly transferred to the Southern Sea Shark Island to prepare for the third phase of the war, which was because the second phase had begun after the completion of the Dengzhou campaign.
The second stage of the war was centered on Hangzhou, destroying the shipbuilding base in this area, where almost one-third of the shipbuilding strength of the Great Song Dynasty was gathered, so the purpose of the operation here was to defeat the Great Song Dynasty and restore the ability of the sailors in a short time.
Here Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo and other big cities as the core, around Hangzhou Bay shipyards are all over, almost every river has a shipyard, for this operation, Zhang San dispatched all the army and the remaining marines, to a comprehensive cleanup.
This action also has to empty Zhang San's own shipyard, Zhang San has been expanding since he bought the Guanjia shipyard, and now it is one of the largest shipyards in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is also one of the best in Hangzhou Bay, especially after the Zhangjia shipyard was destroyed by Zhang San, Zhang San's shipyard is the overlord of Hangzhou Bay.
There are three supporting towns alone, and the population is close to 100,000, so it is also one of the key points of this robbery, Zhang San doesn't know if he can keep his secret, but he can keep it for one more day, isn't it.
Now the only people who can guess the relationship between Zhang San and the Ryukyus are the Zhang family and the Guan family, but these two families also have the wisdom to analyze something from the clues, and more importantly, they may suspect that Zhang San has a relationship with the Ryukyus, but they will never think that Zhang San is the king of the Ryukyus.
Because the maritime merchants in Jiangnan are all connected with pirates, one is to write off the pirates' debts, and the other is also to deal with some things that are inconvenient for them to deal with, and also to have power in the pirate circle, and other pirates have to give some face when sailing at sea.
And when Zhang San fought in Dengzhou, he did not inform his name, and it was impossible for the enemy to see Zhang San's face clearly from a distance of a thousand meters, so there is no possibility of leaking it so far.
After the first batch of 150 merchant ships returning from Dengzhou unloaded the people to Zhenwei Island, they went south just in time for the Hangzhou operation and joined the ranks of rushing to transport, this time only transporting the people from the vicinity to the Zhoushan Islands, so the distance was much shorter, so the efficiency of the 300 ships involved was quite high.
Jiangnan has also been stable for a long time, the soldiers here don't know what the war is, the Ryukyu army has successfully landed at the Hangzhou dock, and the city of Hangzhou has not even had time to close the city gate, and after the Ryukyu Army unloaded 10,000 people, Hangzhou reacted and sent 2,000 people to drive the Ryukyu army into the sea!
As a result, a regiment of the landed army made dumplings and became prisoners, and since then the gate of Hangzhou City has been closed, and it has been a turtle with a shrunken head, if it were not for Zhang San's strict order Wang Yin's regiment would dare to drive directly into Hangzhou.
However, Xu Guanzhong, as the commander of the campaign, saw Hangzhou's posture and reduced the original 20,000 defense troops to 10,000, while the rest of the people helped guard the various intersections and persuaded the people to leave.
So when Zhang San came to Hangzhou, he saw a strange scene, the Ryukyu army was in charge of the crazy relocation, as if it was his own backyard, and the Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers were hiding in the city, as if they didn't see anyone outside the city.
Only those maritime merchants and officials in Tokyo were secretly anxious, Jiangnan was an important place for finance and taxation in the Great Song Dynasty, and once it was lost, it would be like the sky was falling, but Jiangnan had been peaceful for a long time, and there was no decent army around to call upon.
