Chapter 558: The Battle of the Ages (8)

After understanding what Ling Feng meant, Yu Qinglong was a little embarrassed, he was under a lot of pressure now, if he really wanted to send troops to the eastern frontier, then the defense of the western frontier would be a little lax. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the cabin, Zhang Yan arched his hand and said: "Metropolitan Governor, what the last general means is that even if you want to go to Eastern Xinjiang, you must do a good job of defense here first, and it is best to repel Yang Xiong, and then sail to Eastern Xinjiang after being repulsed, so it is more secure." ”

Directly above the cabin, there is a map, a map of the Yangtze River, which broadens all the Yangtze rivers on the mainland, from west to south.

In the middle of the cabin, there is a large sand table, compared with the base map, the sand table is obviously much more detailed, and the terrain on the sand table is also clear at a glance, easier to understand.

Since the development of sand table technology, as long as it is a close combat, Yu Qinglong uses a sand table, and if it is a long-distance battle, it uses a map.

"Zhang Yan, sit down and say, don't worry."

Yu Qinglong asked people to bring tea, and while drinking, he looked at the sand table in front of him.

After a long time, Yu Qinglong shook his head and said: "It's a pity, the military department doesn't give me too many zha bombs and thunderbolts, if you give me 10,000, I can let Yang Xiong's 600,000 army all see the king of Hades." ”

Zhang Yan sat down, thought about it, and said suspiciously: "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean... Can you eat Yang Xiong's 600,000 army in one bite? ”

"Of course, what, you think I'm bragging?"

Yu Qinglong smiled and said proudly: "Look at our current equipment, and then look at those sailors in Western Xinjiang, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground, as long as there are enough bullets, I will beat him with surplus." ”

"Zhang Yan, let people clean up the ammunition and see how many are left at the bottom, if there are three thousand, let's do a big job."

Zhang Yan asked, "Metropolitan Governor, what do you think?" ”

Drinking all the tea in the teacup, Yu Qinglong laughed: "If we are on land, there is really no way to kill Yang Xiong, his 400,000 cavalry, that combat power, we are five times more troops, it is estimated that they are all beaten, but this is on the water, he is looking for his own death." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to let his turtle grandson cross the river."

"Huh...? Let him cross the river? ”

Zhang Yan was startled at first, and then his face suddenly appeared, as if he understood Yu Qinglong's intentions, and arched his hand: "The last general understands, is the Metropolitan Governor trying to attack him halfway and eliminate Yang Xiong's 600,000 people?" This is too bold, isn't it? If you want him to cross the Yangtze River, the main guild will punish him. ”

"Afraid of what? Support the bold, starve the cowardly, besides, if we don't give the lord some surprises, can we make meritorious contributions? ”

The more Yu Qinglong thought about it, the happier he became, rubbing his hands and saying: "You think, if we destroy Yang Xiong's 600,000 people, it will be equivalent to laying down the western frontier for the lord, this credit is great... Maybe, let me take over the Western Xinjiang directly, hiss... ”

In the end, Yu Qinglong's voice was a little quiet, anyway, it could be seen from his demeanor that he was excited, and it seemed that it was estimated that the nine cows would not be able to pull it back.

Zhang Yan said: "The last general has already checked the number of zha bombs yesterday, and there are more than 900 left, and there are 30 thunderbolts left. ”

Hearing this number, Yu Qinglong felt a little annoyed, slapped the table and said: "This Sun Jian, it really makes sense, I have written more than once, asking for more equipment, but he just won't give it." ”

"Alas, what a pity, if he gives me a few thousand, I will definitely be able to destroy Yang Xiong."

Standing up, Yu Qinglong walked back and forth, muttering to himself as he walked: "When Yang Xiong's 600,000 troops enter the Yangtze River, let's use a zha bomb to give him a zha bomb and attack from a distance... Hmph, he doesn't even know how he died. ”

"Sun Jian, it's really bad for me."

In fact, as far as the current 1,000 zha bullets are concerned, Yu Qinglong doesn't know how long he has been talking, and then he gave gifts to the officials of the Ministry of War, and then he flattered him in every way, and finally Sun Jian was extra kind and gave 30 thunderbolts and 1,000 zha bullets.

This is already a great favor, if you want to give a large amount, let alone Sun Jian, even if it is Zhang Shilin, you have to ask Ling Feng for instructions, after all, this is not an ordinary weapon, where it is used, it is all planned.

After getting the 30-door thunderbolt, Yu Qinglong was happy that he didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and sent people to reinforce three giant ships overnight, and then installed the 30-door thunderbolt.

Thirty guns, divided into three huge ships, that is to say, ten guns each, each with more than 300 ammunition.

Compared with the huge hundreds of thousands of water troops, this number is too small, if it is increased tenfold, it is about the same.

"Six hundred, it is indeed a little little, it can sink thirty giant ships at most, with Yang Xiong's army of 600,000, its warships are more than hundreds and thousands..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yan said: "Metropolitan Governor, it's too risky, let's not do this, so as not to miss the lord's big business, we just need to hold the line of defense." ”

"You... It's just too conservative, how can there be no risk on the battlefield? There is no victory without danger, and only by daring to take risks can there be big victories. ”

Yu Qinglong seemed to have made up his mind, got up and looked at the sand table and said: "We have an army of 100,000, although the strength is too different from Yang Xiong, but we are a naval army, and water combat is our specialty, and he is a cavalry, good at field warfare, the two are not the same." ”

"I've decided, I'll do what I say, and see how I cripple it and make him sass."

"Newspaper... Report.... ”

The soldier ran in from above the deck and said loudly: "Governor, Ren Yang led the army to knock on the pass, and it has reached the front camp." ”

Zhang Yan said: "I didn't expect to come so soon, it seems that he can't wait to cross the river." ”

Yu Qinglong said: "The more anxious he is, the more beneficial it will be to us." ”

Looking at the soldier, Zhang Yan said: "Let the soldiers be on guard, and don't let a single soldier come over..." ”

"No."

"Wait..."

Yu Qinglong dismissed Zhang Yan's order, and said instead: "Let Hou Yan and Hou Ji lead two battalions of soldiers to garrison, and tell them that they must hold out until the early morning of tomorrow, and then pass on the other generals, so that they can lead the troops to retreat back to the Yangtze River, stand by, and be ready to retreat at any time." ”

"No."

The soldier left.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "It seems that the Metropolitan Governor still wants to lure the enemy deeper, but Hou Yan and the soldiers waiting for the plane are all weak brigades, can they resist Yang Xiong's elite?" I'll see who strikes a stone with an egg. ”

"Resist for as long as you can, I never expected the two of them to win, as long as you hold on a little."

The soldiers gave the order, and the front camp of the water village along the river, which was originally very tightly guarded, withdrew eighty percent of the troops, 20,000 people, and 16,000 at this moment, leaving only 4,000 to hold on.
