Chapter 809: The Battle of Qingzhou Nine
Thousand Hills Strait.
On the small island of Qianyu, in the barracks of the Wei navy.
The sound of waves crashing came from the coast outside, resounding in this quiet camp, and the sound seemed to beat in the heart of the main general Cai Mao.
In the tent, the generals of the Wei army and navy stood in columns, the atmosphere was a little quiet, and a pair of eyes looked at Cai Mao, who was standing at the front with a gloomy face, and they didn't dare to speak.
"General, the last general is incompetent and can't hold the misty bay, please punish the general!"
Wen Ping's armor was stained with blood, his hair was hanging down, and he knelt under Cai Mao on his knees, and said in a low voice.
Let go of the Misty Strait, in fact, they have already lost half of this battle.
Wen Ping knew very well that this result was a little unacceptable for Cai Mao, who was bent on competing with Wu Guojun.
"This battle is not your defeat, but a certain family's underestimation of the Wu Navy!"
When Cai Mao heard this, although his face was still gloomy, he shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Even though we have overestimated the Wu Navy, we still underestimate them in the end!" ”
Wen Ping is right.
If he really buried his second fleet in the misty bay, he would really slash him with one sword, and he could bring back half of his troops, which already made Cai Mao a little relieved.
In this battle, in the final analysis, Cai Mao's own arrogance is still a little arrogant.
He originally thought that Wen Ping could hold on to the natural barrier of the Misty Strait for at least three days, but as a result, he was broken by the Wu Navy in two nights and one day.
This was something he had never expected.
Moreover, the intensity of this battle was far beyond his expectations, and the casualties of the Second Fleet were almost half, and more than seven battleship-sized warships were sunk.
Even the building ship, which was the main battle ship, was almost knocked out.
"Wenpin, stand up!"
"Yes!"
Wen Ping breathed a sigh of relief and stood up respectfully.
"This battle. Although you were defeated, you were not without military exploits, and the casualties of the Wu army were not small, at least two thousand elite Wu troops were annihilated under your fleet! ”
Cai Mao's eyes swept over the generals and said proudly: "This point is enough to prove it." On this sea, the Wu army will also pay casualties, we can make them pay the same casualties today, and we will be able to surpass them one day, and all the generals will encourage them! ”
"The general is wise!"
The morale of the soldiers suddenly rose a lot, although they suffered heavy casualties, but it was indeed a happy thing to be able to break the myth that the Wu army was invincible at sea.
"As soon as the Misty Bay is broken, the next step is the decisive battle of the Qianshan Strait. Wait and get ready, next, we will be here, fighting to the death with the Wu army! ”
Cai Mao said decisively.
"No!"
The generals left the Chinese army camp and prepared for war with confidence.
Wen Ping, Zhang Yun, and Wu Anguo's three main generals stayed.
"You say, 'This war.' Can you still fight? ”
Cai Mao's incident just now encouraged the generals, and Wen Ping was defeated. In his mind, this battle was mysterious enough, and he kind of wanted to retreat to land.
The three of them glanced at each other, and Zhang Yun said: "General, if this matter is returned to Donglai, it will greatly damage our morale!" ”
"Clerk. Tell me how you felt when you fought against Wu Jun! ”
Cai Mao squinted his eyes, his gaze was a little sharp, this was the news he wanted to know the most.
"Feelings?"
Wen Ping's face was a little bitter, and he said, "General." I feel that I was pressed and beaten by them from the beginning, the soldiers of the Wu army are more elite than ours, the warships of the Wu army are stronger than ours, the weapons of the Wu army are stronger than ours, and even the battle formation of the warships is much more meticulous than ours! ”
Hearing this, Cai Mao's fists clenched slightly, and his face was very ugly: "Is the Wu Navy really so powerful?" ”
"General, the last general is not looking for a reason for his defeat, I lost this battle, and I am at the disposal of the general, but what I want to remind the general is!"
Wen Ping's face was solemn, and he said: "The evaluation we had of Wu Jun before must be overturned, he is more than twice as powerful as we imagined!" ”
The battle in the Misty Bay completely knocked out the impetuousness of Wen Ping, and the complacency of the previous training of the Second Fleet made him ashamed in this battle.
"Report!" At this time, there was a loud shouting outside.
"Come in!"
"Report to the general, an hour ago, the officers and men of the Wu army suddenly sent troops to land on the twelve small islands on the east and south sides of the Qianshan Strait, such as our southeast sea route was blocked!" The way of the scouts.
"They want to surround us?"
When Zhang Yun and the others heard this, they suddenly panicked.
"The scout camp continues to investigate!"
Cai Mao was calm, waved his hand at the scout soldiers, and said, "Remember, you must keep an eye on the movements of the Wu army, and report every other hour!" ”
"No!"
The scout nodded and walked out of the barracks.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Yun's face was ugly: "The east is Donglai, and he actually blocked our channel back to Donglai?" ”
"What a Heqi, he wants to force me to send troops!"
Cai Mao spread out the march map around the strait, and his eyes bloomed with a cold glow: "This is Qianshan Gorge, we don't dare to go to the north, because it is a dead end, and he chooses to encircle and block the road here in the east and south, but he doesn't want me to return to Qingzhou, if we break through, we can only return to the west!" ”
"In this way, we are returning to Qingzhou, but he can also force us to withdraw from Donglai by himself!"
Wen Ping added in a deep voice: "If there is no Donglai, our navy will have no roots in duckweed, and it will become a foot soldier in the future!" ”
"He knows that we won't give up Donglai, so he's forcing us to fight!"
Wu Anguo's bronze bell-like eyes flashed with a hint of fighting intent: "General, in this battle, we can't fight it!" ”
"You're right, even if I don't want to fight this time, I'm afraid he won't give me a chance!"
Cai Mao's expression became firm: "Since this is the case, I will fight him fiercely and have a good battle with him on this sea, I want to see if the Wu Navy is so invincible!" ”
He also has the First Fleet in his hands, which is his real workhorse.
This battle can still be fought.
"General, please give the order, we will surely die!"
"Wenpin!"
"In!"
"The Second Fleet will break through to the south tonight, and the attack will be fierce, creating the illusion that the main force will break through."
"Yes!"
"Wu Anguo!"
"In!"
"The Third Fleet has no battle at sea, abandon the warships, and stick to the four fortress-like islands outside the Qianshan Gorge, and not let them move forward!"
"No!"
After Cai Mao arranged the task, his eyes fell on the chart of Laizhou Bay, and his expression became more and more determined: "He Qi, I want to see how many troops you have to surround me!" ”
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The decisive battle of Laizhou Bay was about to break out, and Wu Wei's soldiers and horses, located at the junction of Beihai and Langxi, also began to move.
Tobu Castle.
This is the core city where the Fourth Flame Division is stationed, and the Fourth Division is to use Tobu Castle as the main position, and then build a defensive line between Lang Xie and Beihai.
The headquarters of the Blazing Fourth Division was built on a rocky hill three miles away on the northern outskirts of Tobu Castle.
"What did you say, the 342nd Regiment guarding the Boundary Pavilion was attacked at night?"
Shi Lei, the commander of the Fourth Division, was pale and a little incredulous.
A bloodstained soldier knelt under the big tent, and said with some stumbling words: "Division commander, early yesterday morning, at dawn of the Buddha, the 342nd Regiment was suddenly attacked by the Wei army in the north, with heavy casualties, the regiment commander Chen Xu was killed in battle, and the fierce battle lasted for a day and a night, and the regimental chief of staff Zhao Yi led 1,500 remnants of the army to fight out of the encirclement. ”
"How many Wei troops are there?" Shi Lei took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked.
"A lot!"
This soldier said: "At least tens of thousands of soldiers, they attacked our position at night, came very quickly, and fought very hard, if it wasn't for the chief of staff to be cautious and guard the most powerful battalion of our regiment in the rear, we would have been wiped out!" ”
"Division commander, it seems that the general's behavior of entering Qingzhou really annoyed the Wei army?"
The chief of staff stood beside Shi Lei and said in a low voice: "They want to counterattack Lang Evil and encircle Wei to save Zhao!" ”
"What a certain family wants to know most now is, where did they transfer the troops from?"
Shi Lei looked at the sand table: "With only the soldiers and horses in Beihai, it is impossible for them to swallow a regiment of me!" ”
"Division commander, could it be the soldiers and horses of Qi County?"
"Possibly!"
Shi Lei's face became solemn: "This is Xiaohualing, after all, the road to the south is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but Zhao Yi is only a thousand remnants now, it is not clear how long he can block, and it is a little too late for us to go north now!" ”
"The 343rd Regiment is in Handshan Town, which is about less than a hundred miles away from Xiaohualing!"
"Herald!"
"In!"
"Immediately let the head of the 343rd Regiment Hua Dong send troops to Xiaohualing to rescue the remnants of the 342nd Regiment, there must be no mistake!"
"No!"
"Division commander, you say, will the Wei army be sending reinforcements at the encirclement point!"
"It's possible!"
Shi Lei squinted his eyes and said: "But even if it is to encircle the point and send reinforcements, we can't let the 342nd Regiment be annihilated by them like this, it seems that the 343rd Regiment alone is not enough, I have to go in person!" (To be continued......)
