At five o'clock in the morning, the highest emergency battle report sent by Division Commander Qin woke up the entire naval army commander's office, "The enemy army has gathered nearly 50 warships and 1,000 cannons to attack the bay. ”

Commander Hua hurriedly ordered someone to invite Chen Zui, and urgently telegraphed the troops of the three divisions in each of the four cities to quickly support the front line.

Chen Zui was not particularly nervous after receiving the news, he calmly sorted out his clothes and went to the front line with Commander Hua.

Today's wind direction is the same as last time, the battle has been stalemate for more than half a year, it seems that Andre Lang is more anxious than them, so he took advantage of the time to launch the largest attack since the beginning of the war, and is bound to take Yuchi Bay in one battle.

Division Commander Qin ordered the triangular formation to be extended and connected, covering most of the sea. However, the enemy suffered a loss once, and the same mistake would not be made a second time, and they adopted the strategy of breaking up the whole into parts, attacking the middle in three ways and attacking the two wings in two ways.

After two hours of fierce fighting, the triangular formation was in danger, and Division Commander Qin asked for support again. However, before several reinforcements arrived, Commander Hua ordered the Xiao Gang and the reserve army of the Navy to quickly support from both flanks.

Division Commander Qin changed his strategy and opened his wings to extend them to both sides to defend against the enemy. But the enemy was far superior to them, and they were lined up on the sea, and no matter how they changed their formation, they seemed to be unable to escape the enemy's envelope.

In the afternoon, the triangular formation was broken by the enemy, and Division Commander Qin could only resist the enemy in a line formation. This time, however, they were not so lucky, and by the time it was dark, the wind had not weakened, but had increased in violent, and by this time their battle line had retreated a third of the way.

From early morning to dark, from dark to dawn, the army had retreated halfway, and the direction and strength of the wind remained unchanged. By dusk, the army had no way to retreat.

Knowing that the battle had been lost, and that if the battle continued, the whole army would inevitably be annihilated, so he requested to withdraw from Yuchi Bay, retreat to the customs, and defend the fort.

Chen Zui and Commander Hua unanimously agreed to withdraw their troops, and the army retreated all the way, while Andreang's army was more morale and marched all the way to occupy Yuchi Bay.

Seeing that as long as the customs fort was captured again, it would be able to enter the city smoothly and then encroach on the entire coast, the commander of the Anjun army did not stop, and ordered the artillery to be bombarded immediately to break down this last obstacle.

Although the battery was condescending, the enemy's artillery fire was no weaker than when it was at sea. Division Commander Qin ordered to fight to the last pawn to hold the fort, and not to take half a step back.

This battle was fought late at night, and after all, it could not stop the enemy's artillery fire, and the coastal soldiers regarded death as home, and did not take half a step back, and the Qin division commander knew that it would be difficult to support it for another two hours.

Seeing that they were at the end of their crossbows, the Anjun launched a final general assault on them. After more than an hour, just when the customs were unlucky and about to be breached, two large armies appeared on the east and west sides of the sea and opened fire on the Anjun army at the same time.

It turned out that early this morning, Chen Zui knew that the situation here was critical, so he sent a telegram to Jingu, ordering Shen Hong and Lu Baiting to mobilize 20 warships, and 8,000 sailors rushed to Yuchi Bay in two ways.

After another two hours, the reinforcements on both sides could not resist the offensive of the An'an army and retreated, and with a "boom", the west side of the fort was blown up by the An'an army, and the An'an army concentrated its fire to bombard the east.

At this moment, the Anjun warship suddenly began to shake, and after shaking a few times, the soldiers on board began to panic, because their warship was tilting and sinking, and they had no idea what was happening.

Shen Lu and the others just led the ship back to a safe position, did not evacuate from the sea, saw this good opportunity, turned back to the bow of the ship to attack the An army again, the An army was in chaos, and could only resist with all their might. To make matters worse, their ships are sinking faster and faster.

The commander of the Anjun army hurriedly ordered a retreat, and what was even more unexpected was that their warship could not drive out again after just a few miles, and the bottom of the ship seemed to be firmly fixed, unable to move, and the soldiers on board were even more panicked.

Commander Qin led the soldiers out of the pass to attack the enemy, and the soldiers at sea completely lost their ability to resist, and the terrible wails were terrible, and in just one hour, fifty warships all sank to the bottom of the sea, and the 100,000 sailors were almost wiped out.

After a month of discussing the council with the generals, Chen Zui finally found out the key to breaking the enemy: since they could not attack the enemy from afar, the only way was to bring in all the enemies and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Their plan was to rout head-on, to lead the enemy army to fully occupy the sea area, and to arrange for two large armies to flank while they attacked the fort.

What the enemy didn't expect was that the two-way army on the flank was just to cover the dozens of soldiers of the Xiao Gang who dived from the water to the bottom of their boat. The first step was to tie chains to the bottom of their ship, and then to cut a hole in the bottom of the ship, allowing the sea water to pour in, destroying their warship.

For this day, Chen Zui selected soldiers to train every day, just so that they could be foolproof on the day of the operation, and on the day of the operation, the sound of artillery was their biggest cover.

Everything was ready, and in the end they just waited until the Anjun army launched another large-scale attack on them.

After this battle, Andreang's elite at sea was lost, and he tried in vain to invade the coast and then invade China step by step, but in the end he did not even take the first step.

The defeat of the war intensified all kinds of contradictions in his own country, his position was shaken, and he was no longer able to invade, and the coastal defense war came to an end.

Two days later, Wen Qiong came with the news that the epidemic in South China was basically over. The Song Bai army that attacked Zhaoye was repelled by the Li family's army and has not been able to break through so far.

Joan

The other way broke through Jiuwei and Wenqiong across the river, but Song Bai's army was not good at water warfare, and there was danger on the river bank to defend, so the two sides were temporarily deadlocked

Li Chengjing ordered to mobilize 20,000 naval troops from the coast to Qiongjiang to contain the Song and Bai armies.

At the celebration banquet, Commander Hua led the generals to pay the highest respect to Chen Zui, if it weren't for his thought of leading the enemy army into the pass, this war would not know when it would end.

Chen Zui excused himself and said that he did not dare to take credit, he boldly put forward ideas, all strategies are discussed by everyone, and this credit belongs to everyone

The celebration feast lasted from the afternoon to the early hours of the morning.

Chen Zui felt that his responsibility had been fulfilled, so he asked the master of Qutang to hand over the matter, and the day after tomorrow, the five of them returned to Jingu together, and they wanted to announce their abdication in public.

Leng Chuxian did not attend the celebration banquet, and Chen Zui went to her room as usual before returning to her room.

"We'll go back to Jingu the day after tomorrow."

"Chen Zui, I can't go to Jingu for the time being, my brother called this afternoon and said that my sister-in-law gave birth to a boy, and I hope to go to Guicheng to see her tomorrow."

"Raw?"

"It was born prematurely, but fortunately the mother and child are safe."

Chen Zui nodded, "Okay, then I'll go with you tomorrow." The war here is over, it doesn't matter if I go back to Jingu later, I can be a helper for one more month at most, we have a marriage contract, I should accompany you back to visit first. ”

The next morning, Chen Zui explained the situation to the three of them and asked them to go back to Jingu first and wait for him to come back. Before leaving, the people saw each other off until they left the city.

Along the way, they saw that the concentration camps for the victims were being dismantled, and the streets were restored to their previous appearance, and it seemed that the epidemic was really over.

Li Jiajun's strength has been hit hard for most of the past six months, but fortunately, now that the rear is calm, Li Chengjing can use the troops of Zhongnan to fight against the Song and Bai armies, although it is difficult to eliminate the two major warlords in one fell swoop, and he can protect himself if he wants to, Chen Zui's last worries have also been relieved, and his body and mind feel more relaxed than he has ever been.

Leng Chuxian also said: "Since you left the city, you are in such a good mood, I rarely see you in such a good mood." ”

Chen Zui smiled: "Because this is the time when I feel the most free physically and mentally in so many years." ”

Leng Chu smiled at him, "You haven't even given up your seat and are excited, aren't you worried that several hall masters will not allow you to give up?" ”

Chen Zui said: "Of course I thought of this section, so before I left Jingu, I told Brother Chen about the abdication, and asked him to handle the affairs of the gang on my behalf." And the gang rules say that as long as taking over as the gang leader can convince the hall masters, the gang leader can abdicate in advance. ”

When they arrived at Zou's house at dusk, it was Steward Lin who opened the door, he hadn't seen him for many years, he was much older, his temples were gray, and the wrinkles on his forehead were also a lot deeper.

He saw that the two of them were completely impressed, but Leng Chuxian reported their identities, so he politely took the two into the door.

It was inconvenient for Chen Zui to go in, so he sat in the living room and waited, and Leng Chuxian followed Steward Lin in the inner room.

Zou Bao'er was just about to rest for a while, and when she saw Leng Chuxian coming in, she suddenly became energetic, "Chuxian is back." ”

Leng Chuxian said hello to Master Zou and walked to the bed, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" ”

Zou Bao'er smiled, "I'm fine, you come and hug your nephew." ”

"You talk, I'll go out first." Master Zou withdrew.

Leng Chuxian picked up the child and rubbed it lightly, "Is it because of premature birth, the child seems to be relatively light?" ”

"That's right, the child is less than a week, and his weight is a little lighter, but fortunately, his physique is not bad."

"They all say that the child is only like your brother and not like me, can you take a good look at it?" Zou Bao'er asked with some disgust.

Guo Yixuan coaxed: "No, of course our children are like the two of us." ”

Zou Bao'er snorted: "You will only coax me and refuse to tell the truth." ”

Leng Chuxian smiled and said: "My good sister-in-law, the child hasn't grown up yet, and it doesn't matter who is more like you in the back, don't worry, the child will definitely be half like you." ”

"You're just like your brother, and you're only good at talking."

Leng Chuxian no longer dwelled on this, and asked, "Has the child chosen a name?" ”

Zou Bao'er shook her head, "No one expected that it would be born prematurely, and it hasn't been taken yet." ”

"Brother, didn't you think of a name beforehand?"

Guo Yixuan said: "I thought about it, but before I thought about it, the child was born." ”

Zou Bao'er said: "Otherwise, his aunt will think of one for him?" ”

Leng Chu said envyfully: "Okay, you parents don't think of a good name for your child, but want me, an aunt, to think about it, I'm really embarrassed to say!" ”

"Good girl, we have no idea, you can think of one."

Leng Chuxian looked at the child again, and then thought of her father, "I hope that my nephew can inherit and carry forward his father's spirit in the future, how about Chengyang?" ”

The two muttered twice, "Okay, just call Guo Chengyang." ”
