Huo Yan looked at Sun Lin with a faint gaze, and sighed secretly in his heart.

This Sun Kexian is really a little muddy and can't support the wall, what a good opportunity this is, he will stand up in a battle, and control Shen Shikui and a cadre of the chief officials on Phi Island, the next step is naturally to give these people a chance to die in battle, and the entire Dongjiang River is under the influence of the petty officials.

Huo Yan is not without his own considerations, he has always felt that the layout of the petty officials is right, but the people who carry out the orders of the petty officials should be bold and bolder, not afraid to step fast, not afraid of the wild, afraid of being too cautious.

Especially in the Gyeonggi War, Huo Yan completely saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, even so, why did the incompetent Emperor Chongzhen dare to sit in the Forbidden City and give orders?

There is no doubt that there is only one person in the whole world who is qualified to sit there, and that person is his own petty official!

Therefore, Huo Yan's plan is very simple, control Denglai Bing, and then control Dongjiang Town, then it means that the south and east of Gyeonggi will be controlled by Xinxiang's forces. Find another opportunity to control Xuan Dabing in his hands, and force Jianyu and Guan Ningjun to fight to the death, then the Forbidden City is the trophy he dedicated to the petty officials!

Huo Yan is confident that he will complete his plan within three to five years, and if the 1102 Party is not divided, then this time can be even shorter.

"Haha, measure him a Shen Shikui, he can't play any tricks, and he's here, I always have to keep someone to keep an eye on him, now that he sees how powerful our Denglai Army is, he should understand how to do it." Sun Lin was still very proud.

"I hope so...... Hey, Jianyu is still preparing to attack the island? ”

Huo Yan originally wanted to talk to Sun Lin in detail, but when he found that Jianyu, who was floating on the sea, seemed to have begun to organize an offensive again, he suddenly changed his mind and decided to find another opportunity next time. After only greeting Sun Lin, he hurriedly ran to the shore position again.

"This Huo Ying is a talent, since Mr. Sun is close to Nanhaibo, why don't you just ask Nanhaibo to come over?" Chen Hongfan, who was beside Sun Lin, asked with a smile.

"These people are all the treasures of Jimin, and Jimin watches it closely." Sun Lin smacked his lips: "It's not that you haven't seen it, the Zhang Zheng who was originally sent is even more powerful than Huo Yan, that kid followed us for three months and left, replaced Huo Yan, I guess Huo Yan won't stay here for long." ”

"If you want to come over, Nanhai Bo has a lot of talents, but there is only one by your side."

"It's hard, it's hard." Sun Lin just shook his head.

It wasn't that he hadn't mentioned it to Yu Guozhen, but he was told by Yu Guozhen about him twice, so he knew that this idea should not be beaten.

This attack was different from the others, they no longer broke through at one point, but lined up the warships and bombarded the island from all directions. Among them, there were sixteen cannons, the firing range was even farther than Xinxiang's field artillery, and their accuracy was quite good, and for a while, they actually suppressed Meng Wei, forcing them to transfer the artillery position again.

"In this way, Jianyu has come up with real skills!"

Huo Yan was not in a hurry but rejoiced, in his opinion, the small victory just now was nothing at all, more than 300 enemies were killed, and the number of captures was also comparable, but these were all Koreans, and they could only be regarded as an addition, and only with the first achievement of the real captives could he decorate his exploits!

"It's great to divide the troops, I'm afraid I didn't think of our strength." Huo Yan thought to himself.

But soon, he was furious about the changes on the battlefield.

Jianyu's own artillery had nothing to boast about, but in the hands of King Sanshun, especially in the hands of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, they were elite artillerymen, and the Koreans were also good at artillery, and when they formed an advantage in firepower and forced the Denglai artillery battalion to move one after another, their shells began to extend towards the rest of the targets.

Just less than thirty meters away from Huo Yan, a blazing cannonball rolled over, smashing a Denglai soldier who could not dodge directly into meat sauce, and then jumped on the spot, crashed into the rock, and at the same time emitted countless sparks, the flying stone chips hit the other three Denglai soldiers, they were even more miserable than the one who was stoned to death instantly, because they had to struggle for a while before they breathed.

For this, Huo Yan was not afraid, just like during the Battle of Gyeonggi, he firmly believed that since he was elected by a petty official, he was destined to do a career, and he would not lose his surname so early. But although he is brave, he cannot ask those around him to have the same courage as him. Before he could give the order, the soldiers began to retreat, and although he scolded them repeatedly, it only made them hesitate slightly, and then they still retreated.

Because of the suppression of artillery, the positions of the Denglai soldiers on the shore were patronized, and under the attack of dozens of large and small artillery, the weaknesses of the Denglai soldiers were also exposed. After all, they are undertrained, have a bright appearance, and do have the appearance of a new Xianghu Guard on the surface, but in fact they are still the same Denglai soldiers.

"Damn, you're going to run away just a few people who died?" He grabbed a Denglai soldier next to him who also wanted to withdraw, this Denglai soldier usually ran before and after running beside him, and he even took a fancy to him, but he didn't want to panic at this time.

"It's just a turn of the moment, why did Regiment Commander Huo say this, the artillery fire is sharp, we will avoid the edge for the time being, and find another advantageous fighter." The soldier was not completely dazed, and said curtly: "This place is very dangerous, Commander Huo should also go together!" ”

Huo Yan let go of his hand and said angrily: "You all go, I won't go!" ”

The Denglai soldiers persuaded him twice, and when he saw that Huo Yan was really determined not to retreat, and there was just another shell falling nearby, he didn't care about persuasion, so he turned around and fled first.

When the enemy artillery was temporarily rested, in Huo Yan's sight, only a few tiger guards of the staff group were looking at each other.

From the very beginning of the battlefield, they were all accustomed to being surrounded by comrades-in-arms, no matter how critical the battle situation was, Yu Guozhen stood behind them, even in the middle of them, and they always braved arrows and bullets with their companions. But now, they are alone on the battlefield, and all they have in their hearts is fear.

This kind of situation is the first time they have encountered it, that is, Huo Yan, and they don't know how to deal with it for a while.

After suppressing the artillery fire on the shore, the Jianyu began to prepare for landing, and this time they used all the remaining sampans, and also gathered more than thirty ships, each of which was full of people.

Sun Lin looked at it on the top of the mountain, and he couldn't understand how the situation that was still good just now became like this in a blink of an eye.

However, Yu Guozhen was able to take a fancy to him and give him strong support, not entirely because of the kinship between the two parties. He reacted faster than Huo Yan, after all, he had served as a military envoy under Shi Kefa's account, and he had never seen the defeat of officers and soldiers. He scolded and said to Chen Hongfan: "I will divide two hundred personal soldiers with you, you go to collect the rout, I will clean up the mess, damn it, but I can't hold it even if I put a few cannons!" ”

He divided 200 personal soldiers to Chen Hongfan, but he personally went down the mountain and took the Denglai soldiers who retired but still maintained their establishment.

"Where's Huo Yan?" There were about a thousand people, and he breathed a sigh of relief, with so many soldiers, even if Jianyu landed on the shore, he could fight a counterattack.

"He's still ahead, and he won't back down." A soldier said: "We persuade hard, but he just won't retreat!" ”

Sun Lin immediately noticed that not only Huo Yan, but all the members of the staff group did not retreat. His hairs suddenly stood up, but he knew how precious Yu Guozhen was These staff members, most of them are Huwei teenagers who came out of the third and fourth phases of the Xiliu Courtyard, and they are now between eighteen and twenty years old, Yu Guozhen put them as staff officers in his Denglai soldiers, in addition to helping him train the troops, he is also cultivating these people.

Based on Sun Lin's understanding of Yu Guozhen, it is impossible for him to be satisfied with just one place in Hoi An, and it is Yu Guozhen's ambition to build another country outside the territory like a bearded guest. Sun Lin was also very happy to see Yu Guozhen do this, otherwise, Sun Lin would be a little afraid when he thought that Yu Guozhen had cultivated thousands of tiger guards one after another.

Such an army may not be a mortal threat to the Ming Dynasty, but it is enough to cause major damage, and the Ming Dynasty is now weak and can no longer afford such destruction.

"Nonsense!" Hearing that Huo Yan and the others were still ahead, he scolded, and then connected the names of a few cronies: "You go, call everyone down, pass on my orders, and just say directly, Yu Jimin put them here to listen to my orders, not to be my uncle, if you don't obey the order, you will go back to Xinxiang for me." ”

After he drank like this, the soldiers ran over quickly. However, Sun Lin thought about it, others could call him, only Huo Yan, although he respected himself very much on the surface, he might not actually listen.

For some of Huo Yan's careful thoughts, Sun Lin didn't know the reason, but he turned a blind eye, firstly, Huo Yan's actions were the most beneficial to him, for example, it only took three or four months to train the Denglai soldiers to their current appearance, and secondly, he also knew that Yu Guozhen was definitely not a person who was easy to fool, and Huo Yan was only afraid that he would not work for too long by his side.

When he rushed to Huo Yan's side, he saw that this young man, who had always been high-spirited, was now pale and his eyes were even more cold, if he used to be like an unsheathed sword, then now it was like a broken sword.

"Huo Yan, what are you still standing here?" Sun Lin said sharply: "Victory and defeat are a common thing for soldiers, not to mention that they are not defeated now, just to avoid the enemy's edge, you are standing here to die or live?" ”

Huo Yan came back to his senses and looked at Sun Lin: "Yes, Mr. Sun is right!" ”

He hasn't lost yet, his soldiers are still there!

Thinking of this, he didn't wait for Sun Lin to persuade him again, he turned around and ran back two steps, only then did he think that it was too rude to do so, and hurriedly turned around: "Mr. Sun, thank you." This place is dangerous, and it has not yet reached the realm of asking Sun Zongbing to come in person, so I also ask Sun Zongbing to go back to the mountain and see how I can break the enemy! ”

"Look how you die!" Sun Lin also held back his anger and glared at Huo Yan: "After a while, I will take the team to supervise the battle behind you, if you come like this nonsense, I will cut off your head first, lest you embarrass Yu Jimin!" ”

When he said this, Huo Yan's mind suddenly buzzed, and his face turned red!

He glared at Sun Lin angrily, and then said word by word: "I will never embarrass the petty officials!" ”
