With this command, hundreds of rockets were fired at the ships and soldiers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Suddenly, the flames rose into the sky, and the outside of the embankment suddenly burned into a sea of fire, and the bodies that were doused with fire oil were caught on fire as soon as they were ignited, and they fell off the bow of the ship with a scream, and were swallowed up by the even greater flames on the bow. There was one who saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly dived, but as soon as he jumped into the water, he was washed away by the water in a few strokes.
The oil soon burned to the deck, burning the bow of the ship to the point of beeping and peeling, and the soldiers who were not burned hurriedly carried water to extinguish the fire. But the oil burned so fast that even if it was extinguished for a while, the rockets on the embankment continued to shoot down and ignite the oil, and all the boats on the pier against the embankment were ignited, and the soldiers of the fog and black who were climbing up the ladder on the bow of the ship were all unsparing, either burned to death, or fell into the water and were washed away.
The wave of offensive of the Fog Black Army was dissipated.
Fortunately, the oil could not be poured far, and the ships that failed to dock under the embankment were not doused with oil, and although some rockets were fired, they were all unharmed.
For a time, under the embankment of Manzidu Wharf, it was like a Shura field, with burning boats, blood-stained river water, scorched flesh, and the miserable howl of death...... Shocking!
Feng Ran stood on the embankment and looked at the battlefield coldly, and shouted: "Don't be stunned, release the arrows quickly!"
At this time, the bow of the ship of the foggy black soldiers was blazing, and naturally no foggy black soldiers dared to step on the fire to climb the embankment, and most of them retreated to the stern of the cabin, a little at a loss. They want to attack, but how can they rush now? No matter how much they try, they can't be sent to death. Besides, if this ship burns down, will it sink? The foggy black soldiers retreated outside the fire, but within the arrow range of Suoyun's army, Feng Ran has always been fierce and vicious to the enemy, and no matter how miserable the enemy died, Feng Ran would not let go of any opportunity to kill the enemy
The wind drank, Suo Yunjun came back to his senses from the miserable situation, stood on the high embankment and lowered the arrows, only to shoot the foggy black army and howled miserably while raising their shields to resist, while retreating to the stern, some ships set up a springboard, and other ships behind retreated, until they withdrew from the arrow range of Suo Yunjun, and then the two sides confronted each other.
At this time, the continuous drumming of Gangneung Crossing was replaced by the sound of gongs - Mingjin withdrew the troops.
Seeing that the strong attack was fruitless, and that the soldiers could not get close to the embankment, how could they rush to attack? Today's battle has been won or lost, and if he continues to fight, he will drive his own soldiers to death, and Sural the Great has no choice but to order a temporary retreat.
Retreat from Manzidu to Jianglingdu, and force another crossing of the water.
At the beginning, Sural the Great launched a forced crossing in advance when there were not enough ships, and each ship was slightly overloaded. Thinking of attacking Manzidu, which was garrisoned by only more than 20,000 troops, with 200,000 troops, even if it was a little tricky, at most it was to lose more troops, and there was absolutely no reason why it could not be attacked, so I didn't consider the problem of retreat at all. Now nearly 30% of the ships have been burned, and many soldiers have abandoned the broken ships and moved to neighboring ships. As soon as the ships behind heard the sound of the gong, they immediately turned around and retreated, and the ships in the middle had to accept the soldiers of the ships in front of them, and the later the ships retreated, the more serious the overload. When the boat reached the Weishui River, many of them were overturned by the fierce waves, and more ships and soldiers were lost in the retreat than when they set out to attack in the morning!
In the first battle of Manzidu, Suoyun suffered more than 2,000 casualties, while the losses of the Wuhei side were estimated to be more than 60,000, and more than 400 ships were also lost.
According to historical records, on the second day of December in the first year of the Jing Rebellion, the foggy black barbarians tried to cross the water in Manzidu, but the commander Feng Ran personally led the army to resist. It was a battle, from morning to dusk, blood stained water, corpses drifted for thousands of miles, our army suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the enemy lost a total of 60,000.
This should be regarded as the victory achieved by Feng Mengfang with small losses since the invasion of fog and black, and it is a great victory in the true sense.
Just when the court was jubilant, Feng Ran knew very well that this Manzidu victory was just a defensive counterattack relying on the advantage of the terrain, and the situation of the Foggy Black Dynasty against the Fengmeng Continent had not changed, and the Foggy Black Dynasty was still besieging the Three Kingdoms in the Middle Lane, racking their brains to think about how to break through the defense of the Three Kingdoms in the Middle Lane, so as to take down the entire Fengmeng Continent. Feng Meng's strength is still weak, and he can only barely rely on natural hazards and terrain to support the defense.
The strength and weakness of the foggy black against Feng Meng has not changed.
However, this battle bought time for the march of the garrisons mobilized from the east and southeast. From the southeast of Suoyun country, the army was transferred to the northwest, almost through the entire territory of Suoyun country, the army carried heavy materials, marched slowly, and the soldiers were leaving their hometowns to fight, this time, who knew whether it was life or death, nostalgic for their hometown relatives, walked more slowly, walked on the road through the Spring Festival, and arrived in Bangqi County in the first half of January of the second year of the Jing Rebellion.
The garrisons mobilized from the east and southeast totaled 120,000, and with the addition of the original garrison of 20,000, there were 140,000 troops. Although in terms of numbers, 140,000 troops were still far inferior to the Foggy Black Barbarians, Feng Dye thought that only 100,000 was enough. The extra 40,000 were dispatched to the lower reaches of the river to increase the defense of the wharves and ferries, in case the foggy army could not open the situation in Jianglingdu, and looked for opportunities in the lower reaches of the river.
The foggy army already had many soldiers and few boats, and most of the fishing boats were collected, and there were not many people on board, and the battle of Manzidu lost a lot of ships, and the problem of more soldiers and fewer ships became more prominent. How to transport more soldiers to the other side became a headache for Sural the Great.
First of all, Manzidu was dyed by the wind and ordered to dig deep into the river beach and build a high embankment, the wharf was built like a water city, and the embankment was so high that it was not suitable for mooring ships at all. After transporting the soldiers to the side, the soldiers could only stand on the boat to attack, and there was no river beach to gain a foothold. Ships have a draft, and if they exceed the draft, they will sink. After the basic ships have transported the soldiers, it is impossible to come back empty-ship and transport another group of soldiers.
Secondly, even if the ship can come back empty-boat and then transport the soldiers, although the water is in the dry season, the water flow is still very large, the river is turbulent, the underwater eddies are numerous, and the risk on the river should not be underestimated. Therefore, it is not possible to use ships to transport soldiers to and fro.
Again, Manzidu's fire attack is too strong and powerful, how to crack it, Sural the Great really has no good plan, he can't crack this, no matter how the foggy black army crosses and attacks, it will be in vain.
In the following month, although Sural the Great was eager to break the deadlock, he finally did not dare to act rashly because there were too few ships, and then saw that the reinforcements of Manzidu were coming, and seeing that he had missed the best opportunity to attack Manzidu, Sural the Great had to stand at the Jiangling Ferry, looking at the other side and sighing. Prime Minister Zuo said: "Your Majesty, withdraw and find another fighter." ”
Sural asked, "Is that commander of their capital called Feng Ran? is only in his early twenties, and he presided over the withdrawal of Fengmeng Lamb and the battle of Loquat Valley?"
"Yes. ”
"Go, and have someone inquire into his condition. ”
"Your Majesty?"
Emperor Surral's face trembled slightly: "Fighting all his life, crisscrossing the battlefield, rarely meeting opponents, I didn't expect to meet one on this Fengmeng Continent." Hehe, interesting!"The key, this person is in his early twenties to have such achievements! He is already in his fifties, and he has suffered defeat at the hands of such a young man, which is simply a great shame! The Sural Emperor, who is full of ambition and never submits to defeat, suddenly feels that he is old.
When Sural the Great stood in Jianglingdu and looked at Manzidu, on Manzidu, Feng Jian also looked at Jianglingdu, which was his homeland, and he was a general of the garrison there. Since arriving in Manzidu, Feng Jian's heart has been tormented all the time, and the old country is in front of him, only separated by a river, but it is out of reach.
After falling into a daze, Feng Jian didn't know when Feng Ran stood behind him, and said: "General Feng, don't worry, one day, I will ask you to lead the troops to kill back." Feng Jian hurriedly turned around and saluted: "The last general will see the general." ”
Feng Ran smiled faintly: "General Feng doesn't have to be formal, let's talk in private." Standing side by side with Feng Jian, looking at the other side, he asked, "According to General Feng's view, what else needs to be improved and strengthened in our army's defense?"
"No, the general has done it very meticulously. Feng Jian said: "The last general has never seen a person who is so dedicated to the war as General Feng, and the last general is ashamed of himself. "In the process of following Feng Ran to prepare for the battle in Bang Qi County, Feng Jian completely changed his contemptuous view of Feng Ran.
Feng Ran said: "This is my country, my home, Feng Mou should do his best to protect it, how dare he be negligent in the slightest." It is also the last piece of land in our Fengmeng Continent, if we lose it, where else can we escape?"
"Isn't the general the prince of the Yin Kingdom?"
Feng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he said, "This is my country, my home," he said it so smoothly that he hardly thought that his motherland was the Yin Kingdom! The people of other countries who merged into the Suoyun Kingdom lacked the most important thing was a sense of identity and belonging to the Suoyun Kingdom. Zheng Xiunian and Zheng Jiajun just followed themselves, and they didn't even feel that they were from Suo Yunguo at all!
It's just that a sense of identity and belonging takes time to cultivate, and it can't be stimulated by policies and decrees. This also requires the political situation to maintain long-term stability, and after long-term peace and stability, in order to finally truly integrate the people of all countries together, so that the goal of Fengmeng's unification can be truly achieved.
What Feng Dye can do is only unify the country, and what He Yue wants to do is to unify people's hearts. Feng Ran knew that he couldn't see the day when the Fengmeng Continent was truly unified, but he knew that He Yue would definitely be able to do it. Who is more difficult to unify the national territory and the people's hearts? It seems that it is even more difficult to unify the hearts of the people that cannot be seen or touched. To unify the country, I still know how to lay out the attack, unify the hearts of the people, and how to start?
Feng Ran suddenly felt a trace of pity for He Yue in his heart: I don't know how the people in the deep palace managed his country with all their might? However, in the busy political affairs of the day, that person still cared about his safety, put him in an extremely important position, and earnestly told him to cherish himself. Feng Ran couldn't help but rejoice that the person who racked his brains in the deep palace and fought with countless people was not himself. You can not be troubled by government affairs, you can rest assured that you can hand over the rear to that person, and you can rest assured that all supplies and supplies, grain and grass can rely on that person. Although he decided to assist Sagawa at the beginning, it was his last resort, and he was somewhat unwilling. At that moment, Feng Ran felt that it was the most correct choice in his life, and there was nothing more unwilling.
