Chapter 571: The Battle of the Ages (21)
Puff puff...
On the warship, soldiers fell one by one, screaming. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As the saying goes, more ants will bite the elephant to death, no matter how elite the soldiers, they can't stand too many enemy soldiers, if it is more than one times the enemy, twice as much as the enemy, then it can be easily defeated, but if it is four or five or six times, it can still win.
After less than an hour of fighting, Ren Yang walked out of the cabin and came to the deck, looking at the sun, there were no enemy soldiers standing on the enemy ships in front of him, and all the enemy ships had been controlled.
People are not as good as heaven, and Yang Xiong, who thought he could lure, used up all the zha bombs in his hand. Unexpectedly, not only did he not induce the bullet, but he also accompanied all of them, losing 15,000, no one retreated, no one was captured, all of them were shot and thrown into the Yangtze River.
On the surface, it seems that Ren Yang won, but if you think about it carefully, it is not.
Yu Qinglong only lost 30 ships and 15,000 soldiers, and Yang Xiong, Ren Yang's command is definitely more than this number, whether it is a head-to-head battle, or a bow and arrow shooting, from the beginning to the end, it is Yu Qinglong's strong crossbow that has the upper hand, and the enemy's losses can be imagined.
Moreover, the thirty ships, almost all of which were forcibly broken by Ren Yang, each of them had to pay a terrible price, although the victory...
"Withdraw!"
In the rear camp, Zhang Yan also shouted, ready to start retreating, not that he couldn't win, but the fog was too big, he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't see the enemy, and the more he went forward, the more dangerous it was, because the front was the hinterland of the enemy army in the snowy region, and then Yang Xiong's Chinese army, which would definitely meet with its main force.
Of course, what made him decide to retreat was not this illusory idea, but also the fact that the spies found out that tens of thousands of enemy troops were coming on the left flank, dozens of warships, and they were moving quickly...
Zhang Yan knew after thinking about it that Yang Xiong must have been transferred from the Chinese army to come to the aid of the snowy ship formation.
If there is Yu Qinglong's support, Zhang Yan really wants to put on a posture and fight, of course, provided that there is no fog.
And now, even if he wants to fight, it is impossible, because before coming, Yu Qinglong said that he would not lead his troops to support, so he could only accept it when he saw it.
...........
Next.
Yu Qinglong led the army forward for another three hundred miles, and met Ling Feng sent troops to support, a total of ten small boats, the one who carried out this mission was an unknown small captain, there were only more than 1,000 soldiers here, and there were only more than 100 soldiers on each small boat.
Seeing Ling Feng's flag in the distance, and there were only ten small boats, coming from the imperial capital, Yu Qinglong thought about it, and guessed a rough idea, it must be Ling Feng's will, and sent troops to inform him.
"Let's go, let's see..."
With Zhang Yan, Yu Qinglong also set up a fast boat and went to the fleet thousands of miles away.
Of course, for the sake of safety, Yu Qinglong also brought hundreds of soldiers.
However, from the direction of the imperial capital, there are generally no enemies, because the water village has been controlled, it is impossible for an enemy to go down the river from there, and besides, there is Ling Feng outside the imperial capital who is attacking the city, and Zaya dares to come out.
Gradually, getting closer to the ten small boats, Yu Qinglong saw that in the cabin of the small boat, there were black wine jars one by one, the top of the spies was wrapped in cotton cloth, and there was a lot of fire oil outside.
Seeing such a wine jar, Yu Qinglong was overjoyed, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Ling Feng sent someone to send zha bombs, he knew the wine jars best, and now there are many more in the army, that is, powerful zha bombs.
"Meet the Grand Governor..."
When he walked in, a lieutenant walked out of the cabin and saluted Yu Qinglong.
Yu Qinglong smiled, stared at the cabin behind the captain without blinking, waved his hand and said, "No courtesy, general...?" ”
The lieutenant arched his hand and said: "Yu Dadu, pass on the lord's public edict, help Yu Qinglong zha to play 3,000, thunderbolt 20, defeat Yang Xiong within 10 days, or drive Yang Xiong back to Western Xinjiang, otherwise, for disrespecting the military order, defeat the battle, will be removed from the title of Dadu Governor, and the original will be imprisoned." ”
"Yes!"
Yu Qinglong hurriedly surrendered his hand.
For what the captain said just now, he basically only listened to the first half, and didn't pay attention to the second half at all, what kind of dismissal and imprisonment, in his mind, this is impossible, not that Ling Feng will not do this, but because with the three thousand zha bombs sent, he is 100% sure that he will eliminate Yang Xiong.
"Okay, good, good general..."
Yu Qinglong laughed.
"This is the last general's business, and the last general will go back to restore his life, the governor promises!"
With that, the captain made a small boat turn around and walk, and as the water rippled, the boat became farther and farther away until it disappeared.
Yu Qinglong retracted his gaze, looked at Zhang Yan beside him and said: "Now we can be considered to be able to raise our eyebrows well, hum, three thousand zha bullets, I will see how Yang Xiong will die." ”
"A few days ago, we used three hundred zha bombs to sink dozens of his giant warships, as long as the thunderbolt comes out, there will be no disadvantage, hehe, this time we have fifty!"
Zhang Yan was also excited, three thousand, and he couldn't help but be excited, which meant that the strength of the navy army would reach its peak ever, and it was very likely that Yang Xiong would be defeated directly!
An army of 600,000 people was defeated by 100,000 people, even if you look through the history books, that battle can be compared.
If this battle is successful, then in the future, he and Yu Qinglong will undoubtedly be recorded in history and leave a name in history.
"yes... Hehe, it seems that we have to study it carefully, how to settle the situation in one battle! ”
"Well said, it's a war that is decided."
Yu Qinglong said: "Let people bring back the zha bomb first, let's discuss while marching, and come up with a complete strategy to end the war within three days!" ”
Zhang Yan nodded, he also meant the same.
After bringing the ten small boats back to the ship formation, and after everything was arranged, Yu Qinglong and Zhang Yan both walked into the cabin with a smile.
In the cabin, Yu Qinglong couldn't wait to take out the map, looked at the map carefully, and calculated the various distances on the Yangtze River.
Zhang Yan stood aside, also watching intently.
A little, Yu Qinglong said: "There are still 1,300 miles, we will arrive at the imperial capital Shuizhai, at the speed of the waterway, it should arrive in four days, we must start tomorrow night at the latest, otherwise it will be far away." ”
"Oh yes, Zhang Yan, we fought the day before yesterday, how about the loss of troops?"
After coming back, Yu Qinglong didn't ask this question, because he had been busy, and he really didn't have time to ask, so he asked about it now that he had some time.
Speaking of casualties, Zhang Yan's expression was a little gloomy, the day before yesterday, although the enemy was heavily damaged, but the enemy did not use the zha bomb, and his own side, also lost a lot of troops, it may not be accurate to say that stealing chickens does not become a counter-erosion of a handful of rice, but it definitely did not escape well, did not achieve the desired effect.
Zhang Yan said: "Governor, in the battle the day before yesterday, we lost 30 warships and 16,000 troops. ”
Yu Qinglongren looked at the map and asked, "What about the enemy's casualties?" Is there any information? ”
"Yes."
Speaking of the enemy's casualties, Zhang Yan's expression was much more relaxed, and he reported: "According to the scout report we planted in Yang Xiong's army, in the battle the day before yesterday, Yang Xiong lost more than 20 warships and 110,000 troops, and there is also reliable news that the iron cavalry of the people in the snow region seems to have signs of retreating, but fortunately, Yang Xiong tried every means to dissuade him, so he left the snow Batu behind." Hehe... If we fight again, it is estimated that even if we don't win, we can force the snowy Batu to retreat. (To be continued.) )
