Chapter 779: Jinzhou War I

Chapter 779: The Battle of Jinzhou

"General Yu, the battle in Jinzhou will be handed over to you to be responsible." Zhu Houhuang said.

With Zhu Houhuang's original intention, he wanted to go to Jinzhou.

But after all, the main force of the Dongyong Naval Division is half disabled, and the rest is only the previous Fuchuan fleet, which may have some combat effectiveness, but it is far inferior to the Dongyong-type battleship, once there is something wrong, such as the strength of the Franc Naval Division, Zhu Houhuang is likely to be isolated in Jinzhou.

If Yu Dayou is isolated in Jinzhou, there is no problem.

This time, two battalions of the Yong Army, two battalions of the Annan Army, plus the heavy people, there are about 30,000 people, even if the two places are isolated, Yu Dayou can survive well in Jinzhou. And stand firm and wait for the answer.

But Zhu Houhuang is different.

Zhu Houhuang is the lord of a country, he wants to be isolated, and if he loses news of the southern capital and even Dongyong, it is likely that something else will happen.

Politics is the darkest. It's best never to give someone a chance, even if you trust them.

Yu Dayou said: "The minister will definitely relieve the siege of the old port and include the old port in the territory. ”

Zhu Houhuang still trusts Yu Dayou, although Yu Dayou is young, he is already the first general under Zhu Houhuang. There should be no problem in dealing with the barbarians of the Innocent Country or the Aceh Country.

However, he was a little worried about whether Yu Dayou would be able to handle the political affairs of the old port. Among them, he not only wants to eradicate the influence of the Shi family, but also unites the local Chinese forces and blocks them as soon as possible. Let the old port provide strength for the Yongguo.

It's just that Zhu Houhuang has entrained the talents inside, and there are still not many.

This time, it was Ruan Runchen who followed Yu Dayou over. It's not because of anything else, it's just that Ruan Runchen and Yu Dayou cooperate well.

"Woo---" The sound of the trumpet of the troops sounded, wandering back and forth in the ears.

Yu Dayou boarded the ship, and Yu Dayou boarded the ship with a Yongjun camp and an Annan battalion.

In fact, this expedition did not all start from Malacca.

Because from the perspective of the sea distance alone, the distance from Nandu is much shorter than that from Malacca, but once Malacca hoards heavy troops, and the thorns are full of thorns, and the king is dead, Malacca does not need to hoard so many soldiers, so it is best to draw soldiers from here.

The second is that Zhu Houhuang is here.

And this expedition, although it is based on the slogan of rescuing the old port, in fact, it is the beginning of Dongyong's involvement in Jinzhou's affairs, so it is not just as simple as relieving Jinzhou.

Along the way, Yu Dayou had to set up simple camps in several places, and leave enough soldiers to guard it.

Establish Dongyong's ruling network in Jinzhou.

However, after a day or two, the army was moving north along the Musi River.

On both sides of the Moses River are large swampy wetlands.

When I came to the vicinity of the old port, I saw the flat land.

However, at the same time, I also saw the army of the Danmu Country.

The Danmu Kingdom surrounded the old port city, and it was not without defense against the enemy troops coming from the sea, especially Luo Xuan was still pressed in the camp by them.

If they don't, they're fools.

"General Yu." Shi Shi'an saluted.

Shi Shi'an came with the army as a guide.

Yu Dayou said: "Shi Gongzi is exempt. ”

Yu Dayou knew that if the Shi family really had to dedicate the area of the old port to King Yong, the Shi family would definitely have a place in Dongyong in the future, so Yu Dayou was also a little polite, in order to make a good relationship in the future.

"Shi Gongzi, the current formation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attack the river bank for a while, I hope there is a place to settle nearby. Does Shi Gongzi have any opinions? ”

But I saw that on the east bank of the Musi River, countless soldiers of the Faint-eyed Country were densely guarded on the bank, and rows of spears, like woods, towered.

Although in Yu Dayou's opinion, such a defense is not too difficult to break through, he is unwilling to attack like this.

Without him, come from afar, and don't even have a place to rest, do you go to war?

Although Dongyong has transported troops on the sea a lot of times, it seems that every Dongyong soldier is very suitable for such a situation, but after letting him get off the ship, he will fight immediately, in Yu Dayou's opinion, it is still a little excessive.

Yu Dayou just took a quick look and judged two points.

First, the other side does not have many firearms. Second, even armor is scarce.

There are very few firearms, which is normal, and in the world, firearms are still high-tech, and countries like Daming that popularize firearms are abnormal in the eyes of many people.

As for the lack of iron armor, it is a matter of climate.

The climate here is extremely hot, rainy and humid, and iron is prone to rust. So the iron armor is less of everything. There is no way to do it.

So Yu Dayou felt that this victory was in his hands. However, although he is young, he is also an old fighter, of course, he knows that the more he is in control, the more he must pay attention, and be careful of capsizing in the gutter.

Shi Shi'an said: "General Yu, there is a piece of land on the west bank where you can set up camp. ”

"Oh. Shi Gongzi can be regarded as relieving my urgent need. Yu Dayou said: "It's time to bother the son to guide one or two." ”

Shi Shi'an said: "Dare not accept orders. ”

The old port is a special place, to the north of the old port, all of it is swampland, and to the south of the old port, although there is a large field, but it has become a primeval forest.

In terms of danger, the two sides are simply not comparable.

Although Shi Shi'an was in a hurry, he still led the fleet to anchor on a river bank, as Shi Shi'an said, this area is a small plain, and the ground is extremely solid, even if it is a war.

Yu Dayou set up camp here that night.

After setting up camp, news kept coming, such as the embroidered guards who were still lurking here for a long time, and the messengers in the old port city.

"What's going on at home?" Shi Shi'an asked.

His face was extremely calm, not at all like he was in front of Zhu Houhuang, eager to cry to death.

"Young Master." A big man said. There are still several injuries on this big man's body, and he said: "The family is fine, the food is enough, but there is already a plague at home, if it takes a long time, I am afraid it will not be able to control it, I hope the young master will let Dongyong send troops quickly." ”

The plague has changed the color of many people's conversations, and so has Shi Shi'an.

The area around the old port is originally tropical, and the tropics itself has areas prone to infectious diseases, not to mention in the midst of war, the outbreak of plague is a high probability event.

Moreover, compared to the Danmu country side besieging the outer city, tens of thousands of people are suffocated in a small city, and the probability of a plague outbreak is a little higher.

Shi Shi'an said: "This news must not be told to anyone, remember that it must not be." ”

Shi Shi'an was afraid, afraid that the news of the plague would spread, which made Yu Dayou scared and postponed the rescue.

"Yes." Dahan said: "Wait a while, see General Yu, what do you say?" ”

Shi Shi'an said: "Don't say anything. Listen to me and come. ”

Not far away, in Yu Dayou's tent.

Several embroidered guards were reporting the situation to Yu Dayou.

"How's it going? How many soldiers did the Danmu Kingdom have in the Old Port? Yu Dayou asked.

"General, there are several large camps outside the Old Port City. Each battalion was about 10,000 or 15,000 men. An embroidered guard said: "Because some time ago, the sailors sank the ships of the Danmu Kingdom at the mouth of the Musi River, which cut off the connection between the Danmu Kingdom and this place. Therefore, Danmu increased its vigilance and set up several warehouses. Hoarding military rations separately. ”

"Combat power?" Yu Dayou asked, "Have you tried it?" ”

"We once ambushed a group of non-commissioned soldiers, they were not very good at fighting and their weapons were not very good, but there was one thing that needed special attention, and that was his will to fight. Their will to fight was very high, and we easily defeated them, but they could barely catch their captives, and when they could not resist them, they preferred to commit suicide. ”

"Would you rather kill yourself?" Yu Dayou said.

Yu Dayou has fought a lot, he really hasn't seen much, he would rather commit suicide than surrender, even the most elite soldiers in Dongyong, when they are in a desperate situation, they may not prefer to die rather than surrender.

From this point alone, Yu Dayou has to evaluate the Danmu army by several points. ()
