Chapter 578: Fighting the Ascending Dragon Again

Zhu Houhuang rested in Nanding City for a night, early the next morning. He left the barracks where Nanding returned.

Wang Yangming has also agreed, and the affairs in hand will be closed immediately. Will go to the barracks in advance.

Zhu Houhuang came to the barracks again, although he was very tired from running around for days. But when Zhu Houhuang came to the barracks again, he was very calm.

"Meet Your Highness." The generals led by Yu Dayou saluted Zhu Houhuang.

Zhu Houhuang flicked his sleeves and sat on the main seat, and said, "How is the situation in the past few days?" ”

Zhu Houhuang's calm temperament also reassured the generals under his command. Although Zhu Houhuang forcibly calmed down a few days ago, Zhu Houhuang's appearance was also a little exposed. And Zhu Houhuang's composure infected everyone.

Yu Dayou said: "The enemy army has reached the north bank of the Red River, and last night the beacon company camped, and I can't see how many people there are. If you don't receive reports at night, it is a bluff on the part of the enemy. But the minister doesn't know how much the other party is virtual and how real it is. ”

Zhu Houhuang asked, "Is there any movement in Shenglong City?" ”

Yu Dayou said: "Early this morning, the Mo army left the city from the north gate of Shenglong. And set up a village on the south bank of the Red River. According to Yichen's estimate, they wanted to build a pontoon bridge over the Red River. ”

"Build a pontoon?" Zhu Houhuang said. He sneered and said, "What will happen to the water master's side?" ”

Yu Dayou said: "Your Highness, the sailor is not ready yet, Lord Liu is already trying his best to rush here, but there are too many obstacles under the Baiteng River. The speed at which the river was cleared was much slower than expected. ”

This time, the underwater obstacles of the Baiteng River are different from the last time, the last time the underwater was hastily arranged, but this time in the half year of repair, the Baiteng River is the focus of Mo Dengyong's defense. There are countless wooden piles under the water, and under the surface of the water, there are layers of barrage iron cables. Even if Liu Laodao was working on the water, Ruan Runchen sent countless people to work on both sides. Even then, the project was quite slow.

Zhu Houhuang didn't care about the progress of these specific projects, he asked: "When will the sailor come over, didn't Liu Laodao give him a time?" ”

Zhu Houhuang can say Liu Laodao unceremoniously, but Yu Dayou can only say Lord Liu, he said: "Lord Liu, I have already thought of two ways. The first way is to find some boats in the river downstream of Thang Long. Set up artillery and temporarily use it as a warship. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "For such a long time, have you found a boat downstream?" ”

Yu Dayou didn't know what to say for a while. The river below Thang Long has been searched almost all over, and Mo Dengyong has prepared it properly and cleanly, not to mention the big boats, even the small boats used for fishing, and there are not a few of them. It is not enough to send ships to Hebei that do not collect at night.

Yu Dayou coughed slightly and said, "Your Highness, Lord Liu has a second way, and this method is to transport some small boats from the land. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Can you sail on land? ”

Yu Dayou said: "I don't know. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Give Gu another order, urge Liu Laodao, just one word fast, the sooner the better." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Houhuang said: "The generals in the camp, follow this king out of the camp to fight, I want to see how the soldiers of the court are, how are they compared to the border army?" What about Emperor Bixian's camp? ”

"Yes."

Zhu Houhuang selected several old battalions of the Yongjun army and sent troops in a big way. Zhu Houhuang walked up the south bank of the Red River and bypassed Thang Long City, and it didn't take long. I saw countless people working on both sides of the Red River.

Zhu Houhuang looked at it, but countless boats, large and small, came to the middle of the Red River from the upstream, one by one, leaning together, as if a long dragon fell into the turbulent rapids.

The pontoon bridge is not a new technology for Daming. When the Song Dynasty attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was also assumed that the pontoon bridge. Moreover, Mo's time in Thang Long is not short, and all the water information on both sides of the Red River is in Thang Long City.

It is assumed that there are no insurmountable difficulties in the pontoon bridge technically.

There is also Mo Dengyong, who took precautions and forced all the ships downstream of Thang Long to rush upstream.

There are not many warships and artillery in the hands of all Mo Dengyong, but there are as many ordinary civilian ships as there are.

The pontoon bridge was nothing more than a gentle water, with iron chains connecting all the boats together and fixing planks between them. It became a pontoon bridge.

However, it is easier said than done.

And now in fact, on the north shore, the Ming army has not yet arrived, but Shen Xiyi's bluff plan made Zhu Houhuang and Yu Dayou unable to touch the truth.

Yes, they all know that things aren't right on the North Shore. But I can't figure out how much is true or what is real. So they all subconsciously look up.

Now the people who are busy on the river are the people of Annam and the army of Annam.

For example, Zhu Houhuang saw that there was a large camp on the south bank protecting the south bank of the pontoon bridge.

Zhu Houhuang's six or seven battalions of troops pressed over. The black pressure is overwhelming, and the target is this big camp.

At this moment, Mo Dengyong is in this camp.

Mo Dengyong didn't come here on purpose. Instead, Mo Dengyong wanted to come here to meet with Shen Xiyi.

Shen Xiyi and Mo Dengyong were on top of the camp, looking at the black pressure formation below. Shen Xiyi felt a feeling of black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it.

Shen Xiyi secretly said in her heart: "Back then, the first emperor was bent on choosing King Yong to succeed him. Not without reason. ”

"Lord Shen, how do you think we should deal with this situation now?" Mo Dengyong said politely.

Shen Xiyi said: "Your Highness, let this official see how strong His Highness is?" ”

Mo Dengyong said: "Okay, since that's the case, let Lord Shen see the courage of my Annan boy." ”

Mo Dengyong and Shen Xiyi talked hastily, and Mo Dengyong is also an old fritter.

In his conversation with Shen Xiyi, he clearly felt an inexplicable feeling.

Mo Dengyong originally thought that Shen Xiyi was going to put forward conditions for him, but he never expected that Shen Xiyi didn't mention any conditions, just because he didn't mention anything? It made Mo Dengyong feel worried.

What is the most expensive? Free is the most expensive.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Mo Dengyong had already decided to bleed heavily, but suddenly found that there was no need for bleeding, which made Mo Dengyong not happy at all, but felt more worried.

What exactly does Shen Xiyi want? Mo Dengyong didn't know, but he didn't know for the time being. But he knew it had to be the case. It's that he wants to show his strength, he wants him to know. Although Annan needs the help of Daming. But this is not to say that Annan's own strength is not worth mentioning.

To be honest, if you let Mo Dengyong judge for himself. Mo Dengyong didn't want to fight this battle, he didn't have a fight with Dongyong's soldiers.

After repeated battles, Mo Dengyong did not dare to say that he would definitely be able to defeat the other party. But it is the strength that knows each other best. A battle with the Yongjun army, regardless of victory or defeat, will be greatly damaged. Even the possibility of failure far outweighs the possibility of success.

But today it had to be fought. But today is not without advantages.

Mo Dengyong said: "Okay, since that's the case, let Lord Shen see the courage of my Annan boy." ”
