Li Dagang smiled bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and sighed, and said, "This time it is indeed a miscalculation, since ancient times, the men in the south of the Yangtze River have been pressed by the men in the north, and they are inferior in terms of height, military literacy, and combat achievements." Therefore, Wu Dashuai's layout before was also out of prudence. After all, Zhao Yun rescued Wu Dashuai, this is a well-known thing, Wu Dashuai is suspected of attacking his benefactor this time! In fact, looking at it from below, Wu Dashuai actually wanted to force Zhao Yun to comply, so he didn't do it himself, but just ordered Qi to take action, and then he came forward to be a peacemaker, but he didn't want to, Zhao Yun is not a small role, and he actually attracted people from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River to rescue Nanjing......"

"Humph!" Humming lightly, Sun Chuanfang said calmly, "Although Zhao Yun has won the hearts of the people in Jiangnan, according to rumors, Britain, France, the United States and other countries have all expressed their opinions this time, but they are not asking about this matter, and the big and small affairs of Jiangnan are all subject to Zhao Yun's decision...... That Zhao Yun is the big guy behind Nanjing, but he is actually no different from the king of Jiangnan, one of the three with the deepest roots in China, and only Sun Cannon and Zhang Huzi, who are supported by the Japanese, can be compared. Wu Dashuai made such a big deal this time, which will naturally alarm these European and American powers, these things that eat people and don't spit out bones, they were still making trouble in the nest just now, and at this moment they are hoping that we will fight and purchase their ordnance on a large scale......" Saying that, he sighed slightly, shook his head and said, "Hopefully, then Zhao Yun can't get out of three rounds under the hands of the Qi Overseer!" Otherwise, the entire Jiangnan will encounter an unprecedented war. Hehe, think about it, when Wu Dashuai personally leads the troops south, although it will be a loss of face, Zhao Yun will definitely not be able to bear it, so he can only flee back to the old nest of Yixing! ”

"......." faced Sun Chuanfang's heart-to-heart, but Li Dagang was silent when he heard the words.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Noticing that Li Dagang's expression was wrong, Sun Chuanfang wondered.

"There is something unclear under my subordinates, please solve your doubts!"

"Say!"

"My lord, why did the British support Zhao Yun, but they still sent warships to block Zhao Yun's naval army on the Yangtze River, and even shelled Zhao Jun's position?" As soon as Li Da saw Sun Chuanfang's permission, he said what he was doubting in his heart.

"Hehehe!" Hearing Li Dagang ask, Sun Chuanfang couldn't help laughing, "This foreigner always says that we Chinese people like to fight in the nest, but they are not monolithic in the UK!" This Zhao Yun is just a relationship channel for the British nobles, but the emperor is far away, and the British in the Far East may not be the Briton who Zhao Yun does. How did this Far Eastern appellation come about? It's not that the British think they are the center of the world, and we are far away from them, so we are called the Far East. Jiangnan is located in the Far East, and the British in Shanghai are not bird Zhao Yun, so what can Zhao Yun do? You can't send someone to the British Isles to bring in his high-nosed aristocratic friends! ”

"I see!" Li Dagang listened to the "insider" and suddenly realized.

Looking at the sky outside the house, Sun Chuanfang stood up, "It's time for us to hurry, as the old saying goes: "If you miss a millimeter, you will be wrong." There is also a proverb in the West: "The devil is in the details." In military affairs, there must be no carelessness. In ancient and modern wars at home and abroad, there are countless examples of small losses and big losses, small illnesses and big troubles, and temporary negligence that leads to eternal hatred. We are fighting a surprise attack on Zhao Yun this time, and if we lose the first opportunity, then the whole of Yixing will become a huge war quagmire. Zhao Yun started with munitions, who knows how many munitions he hid in Yixing, if he arms all the local troops and pulls them over to deal with us, then it will be our second division that will suffer. ”

"But... According to our insider report, the one who is now stationed in the county is the foreigner instructor in the tax police corps, and I don't know what Zhao Yun thinks, he can invite so many foreigners from all over Europe! Li Da said indignantly about these "high noses".

"Isn't that a good thing?" Sun Chuanfang joked, "With those foreign hairs guarding the city, it is estimated that the Zhao Yunyan family in the county will go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us." ”

"A decisive battle? Just them? Wait, have our whereabouts been revealed? Li Da looked at Sun Chuanfang, who was full of confidence, with a little suspicion in his eyes, and frowned and asked, "My lord, we are careful all the way, through the mountains and mountains, and the other party can also find us?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Sun Chuanfang, who was sitting opposite, said, "Be careful, it doesn't mean that they won't find us." Don't you find that there are actually only two places that Zhao Yun attaches importance to, one is Nanjing, which is the key to whether he can succeed in the future, and the other is the small county town in front of us, which is his foundation, once he loses here, then he will lose the capital to compete with Wu Dashuai. ”

"Since he attaches so much importance to here, how can he still send the garrison troops from the surrounding counties to Nanjing for reinforcements, and he should transfer the troops from the surrounding Liyang, Wujin and other places to Yixing?" Li Da asked suspiciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Chuanfang immediately reprimanded in displeasure, "Tune? How to tune? Adjust the surrounding teams, then Nanjing doesn't want it, and if we don't fight Yixing directly, but go around in a few surrounding counties, then these transferred soldiers and horses will already be restless, and the morale of the army will be weakened, and then will they rescue or not? If you rescue, you will be broken by us one by one, and if you don't save it, then his reputation as a rich man will be stinky! So what is the role of him in transferring these counties? He didn't transfer any troops to help him this time, which is a good move, which shows that he has already set up a Hongmen banquet in the small county town in front of us, waiting for us to go to the banquet. ”

Li Da had just heard the reprimand, and his face was originally angry, but after listening to it, he showed a look of sudden realization, "Then how do you know that the other party will definitely go out of the city to fight us?" ”

Sun Chuanfang was silent for a while, and held back a sentence, "Because we have a cable newspaper!" ”

……

At three o'clock, Sun Chuanfang's army had all entered the territory of Yixing County, and went straight to the county seat with a lot of energy. It came so fast not because of the courage of Sun Chuanfang's army, but because no one came to stop him along the way.

The two small towns that passed by along the way were already all soldiers, and in order to get straight to the point and not waste time, Sun Chuanfang didn't take the time to move these "turtle shells"!

Because there was a larger "turtle shell" in front of him, it would take him time to pry it open.

Although Yixing County is only the county seat of a small city in the south of the Yangtze River, due to the consistent "extravagance and waste" in the south of the Yangtze River, it has reached the standard of some large cities in urban defense construction. There are a total of nine outer gates in the city, in addition to the seven city gates on land, there are also two water gates, so that it is convenient for the navy army in the county to go out of the city. Among the seven city gates, there are two city gates with urn cities, these city gates are guarded by city defense soldiers every day, regardless of cold or summer, and in the face of such a strong city, no team wants to attack hard.

However, today, the county seat, which should have been prepared for battle and actively defended, was open to the south, and outside the south gate, a team of 5,000 people was constantly marching south from the city.

"My lord, there is Qinglong Mountain in front of you!"

Hearing the adjutant's instructions, Sun Chuanfang raised his binoculars and observed the hill opposite for more than ten minutes, and then ordered the whole army to press on and destroy the enemy in front of him.

It's not that Sun Chuanfang is not cautious, but it should be said that he believes in the wire newspaper too much. All the situations encountered before were consistent with the intelligence of the wire report, even the Dingshu Town behind Sun Chuanfang now, and the Qinglong Mountain position between the county seat and Dingshu Town in front of him were all focused on the information of the wire report.

Sun Chuanfang is now between Qinglong Mountain and Dingshu Town, and there are two mountains near Dingshu Town. One is Qinglong Mountain, and the other is Huanglong Mountain.

Coming out of the town and going north, after crossing Qinglong Mountain, it is the county seat, so the five thousand soldiers and horses from the county town chose this place as a sniper position and arranged several defense lines.

There were 5,000 soldiers and horses in the Qinglong Mountain position in front of him, and there were only a few hundred people in Dingshu Town behind him, but Sun Chuanfang still chose Qinglong Mountain as the battlefield.

The reason is that Yixing in later generations is called "pottery capital", but Yixing county does not produce pottery, the whole county produces pottery in Dingshu Town, all pottery is derived from this, and it is also the base camp for the production of "purple clay pots".

With such a potential area, how could Zhao Yun not make more use of it! After this place fell into the hands of Zhao Yun, it was immediately transformed into an important military production base of Zhao Yun.

Mainly produce some ceramic products, for example, "clay pot mines"! This thing is simple, easy to use, and was widely used during the Anti-Japanese War, although the power is not good, but it is better than nothing, so Zhao Yun still produced it in large quantities. At this moment, the reason why Sun Chuanfang did not choose Dingshu Town, but gnawed on Qinglong Mountain, which is not called a "hard" bone, is because it was mentioned in the informant newspaper that 10,000 "clay pot mines" were laid around Dingshu Town to defend against Sun Chuanfang's invasion.

Faced with such a seemingly harmless town, but it could be covered in bruises, Sun Chuanfang chose to give up at the first time, went straight to the topic, and chose the "descendant" of the five thousand Zhao Yun of Qinglong Mountain.

These people are nominally called Zhao Yun's "descendants", but in fact, they are just ordinary people who harvested grain for Zhao Yun on the farm before, and it has not been two days since they put down their hoes, but they were only organized to snipe Sun Chuanfang when they heard that Sun Chuanfang had entered the surrounding area of the county.

As the saying goes, insiders look at the doorway, and laymen look at the liveliness. In the eyes of those gentry in the county seat, there are 5,000 of these people, although they have not been trained before, but ants can also bite elephants to death, as long as they can block Sun Chuanfang for a while, they can wait for Zhao Yun's army to come back.

But these lame soldiers, in Sun Chuanfang's eyes, only a "hungry tiger pounced" could crush them, so Sun Chuanfang did not hesitate to give the order for a general attack.

Although Sun Chuanfang also had doubts, how could Zhao Yun send these cannon fodder, but today he had already received the third urging telegram from Wu Peifu and Wu Dashuai, so he couldn't afford to delay any longer.
