Chapter 175: Edict against the thief
Lake Charpenze
Pengze Lake, also known as Peng Li, Peng Lize, etc., is located at the junction of Xiajiang County, Yuzhang County and Poyang County, and is the largest lake in summer.
"General, thief warship, thief warship!"
On this day, a small colonel of the Xia army was on the watchpost of a huge building ship, and the finger lake faced Min Wuyan, the general of Xia's rebellion, and reported loudly.
"Three sentinel boats out, explore again!" Min Wuyan, the rebellious general, stared at the lake and ordered loudly.
The northern Zhuhu Yuema Central Plains, years of war, so that the Central Plains and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are displaced, the people are not able to make a living, the people are selling their wives and children, but they are still unable to survive, so the Jiangnan Zhudu, there are many people, among which the most powerful rebel army, Chen Guo, Huang Chong led hundreds of thousands to occupy Pengze Lake, near the lake to set up a village, according to the lake for the danger, soldiers and farmers are at the same time, land cultivation and grain, build vehicles and ships, train troops and water warfare, and confront the Xia court.
In order to exterminate Chen Guo and Huang Chongsuo, the Xia court ordered Min Wuyan to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to suppress it, plus the soldiers of the prefecture and the people, etc., with a team of 200,000 troops.
This is also one of the important reasons why Xia is eager to make peace with Yan.
Those who want to fight outside, must first be inside, Yan Hu is brutal, the army went south to fight with Xia, Yan of course wanted to set foot in the south of the Yangtze River and destroy the Southern Xia, but the Yan army was defeated in Niuzhu, so it was impossible for Yan to destroy the Southern Xia at this time, and Yan Hu then turned to plunder.
However, Chen Guo, Huang Chong and other Jiangnan rebels were full of hatred for the Xia court, they burned the official mansion, the city, the temple, the temple and the house of Haoyou, and killed officials, Confucian scholars, monks, witch doctors, Bu Zhu and other people with hatred, believing that killing people is "practicing the law" and robbing wealth is "equalization".
The rebel army of Chen Guo and Huang Chongsuo even pulled up the banner of rebellion, established the dynasty and set up official positions, and the names, costumes, and honor guards of the officials were roughly the same as those of Xia... Chen Guo is called "Donglai Holy Emperor", Huang Chong is called "Holy Phase", Chen Guo's dragon boat is also furnished with dragon beds, dragon chairs and gold chairs, etc., which are the same as Xia Zi, and put forward the slogan of "the world lifts the public, and all the people are equal".
In this way, how can the Xia court tolerate it? Therefore, the Xia court ordered Min Wuyan to lead 200,000 land and water troops to suppress it, and if they wanted to destroy Chen Guo, Huang Chong and the rebel army first, the other rebel armies in the south of the Yangtze River would be leaderless, and they would naturally scatter as birds and beasts.
Min Wuyan was edicted to lead 200,000 land and water troops to suppress, and defeated Chen Guo, Huang Chong and the rebel army of the department, but did not hurt his muscles and bones, so the two sides gathered a large army, mainly with the boat division, and fought a decisive battle on Pengze Lake on this day.
"Tom... Tong... Tom..."
"Woo... Woo... Woo..."
The righteous army of Chen Guo and Huang Chong, more than 200 large and small warships, took the lead in attacking, with drums like thunder and horns repeatedly, and pressed towards the water village of Min Wuyan's army.
Min Wuyan ordered the warships of the boat division to go out of the village to meet the enemy.
The rebel army of Chen Guo and Huang Chongsuo took 50 huge warships as the vanguard and took the lead in breaking through the formation, but these 50 huge warships were connected together with iron cables, and the righteous sergeants died on the warships and could leap horses and line up.
The warships were connected by iron cables, which of course had a huge advantage.
The way of water warfare is nothing more than ramming, broadside warfare, arrows, etc., and the weapons of water warfare are nothing more than bed crossbows, slapsticks, arrows, trebuchets, etc., so fifty huge warships are connected together with iron cables, like mountains, and they are unable to resist the collision, but the only weakness of this method is that it is easy to be attacked by the opponent's fire.
However, the fire attack is also affected by the wind direction and distance, and the rebels of Chen Guo and Huang Chongsuo have also made many precautions in order to prevent the Xia army from attacking, such as the sail is made of skin, and it is also poured with water, although its effect is not as good as that of ordinary sails, but it is not easy for the rocket to ignite the skin. The iron cable connecting the warship is also a live buckle, if it is ignited, it can be quickly separated, but all this still depends on the situation at the time of the fight, such as a rocket flying in the sky, igniting all fifty warships, at this time it is not easy to separate, and after separation, there is no effect.
General Min Wuyan saw that fifty warships were rampage, so he ordered: "Order Captain Zhai Biao to lead a hundred Feijiao warships, advance to the left, seize the upper hand, and after attacking the enemy's flank on the left flank, order the guerrilla general Wang Maocai to lead a hundred flying Falcon warships, advance to the right, and also seize the upper hand, and after attacking the enemy's flank on the right flank, prepare more rockets, thistles, oil, etc., and the rest will meet the enemy head-on!" ”
The Feijiao warship is a small warship, can carry 10 to 20 soldiers, is a kind of vehicle and ship driven by the wheel oar, although there are not many people, but the victory is mobile, flexible, and the speed is also extremely fast, called "water light horse".
With Min Wuyan's order, the herald's flag waved, and more than 200 Feijiao warships, under the leadership of Xia's two generals, outflanked the rebel warships on the left and right, while Min Wuyan led the main warships for the Chinese army and sailed towards the battlefield of the rebels.
At this time, the weather was clear, the sky was cloudless, the breeze was breezy, the microwave rippled on the lake, and the visibility was extremely high, so the righteous army sentry boat saw the Xia Junzhou division outflanked from the left, center and right from afar, so they either sent warships to meet the enemy, or ordered the water ghosts to go into the water, wanting to scuttle and sink the Xia army's warships.
"Uhhhhhh
At this moment, just as the tension between the two sides was extreme, after a horn, a fast boat of the rebel army came quickly, and a volunteer soldier stood on the bow of the ship and shouted loudly: "Where is General Min?" My emperor has something to say. ”
"Drive over!" Min Wuyan ordered after hearing this.
"General, beware of the thieves' deception!" A general of the Xia army hurriedly persuaded.
"Little thief, why are you afraid?" Min Wuyan said coldly after putting the bow and arrow on his back.
So the rebels got out of a fast boat, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe stood on the boat, guarding him with a big shield on the left and right, and Min Wuyan also drove a fast boat to meet him, and the two sides were about five feet apart on the lake, and then stopped the boat.
This distance can be attacked with bows and arrows, but of course both sides are guarded, and they are both armed with strong shields to protect their own commanders.
The so-called salute before the soldiers, the other party wants to speak, under normal circumstances, it is not possible to make a sneak attack, if it is a sneak attack, it is unbelievable or cowardly, which will affect the morale of the army, so Min Wuyan did not plan to sneak attack the other party, of course, some people who do not know the faith or the so-called faith on this battlefield are scoffing, except for those who scoff, such as Zhou Fugui...
Both sides want you to live and die, what are the meanings to talk about? At least that's what Zhou Fugui thinks.
Of course, Min Wuyan's purpose in doing this was also to delay for a little time, because the vehicles and ships with both wings were moving rapidly at this time.
"General Min is invited!" Chen Guo, who was on the clipper of the righteous army, as the commander of the righteous army and the so-called emperor of the Great Yu Kingdom, took the lead in saluting Min Wuyan.
Chen Guo established himself as the emperor, under his own hands, on his own territory, he could be arrogant, he could be powerful, and he was facing Min Wuyan and the 200,000 army he commanded at the moment.
At this time, although Min Wuyan was young, whether it was fighting with Yanhu or exterminating the anti-thieves, he won a hundred battles and was unstoppable, and he was a new generation of brave generals and fierce generals of Xia after Zhang Huchen, known as the god of war of Xia, and his command of more than 10,000 elites, known as the "Shengjie Army".
Although the soldiers and horses under Chen Guo and Huang Chong are known as millions, they are a rabble, and there are not many elite people, most of them are ordinary poor people.
Min Wuyan didn't answer, but raised his hand slightly, which was regarded as a return salute.
Chen Guo was suddenly a little embarrassed and a little annoyed, and Min Wuyan didn't speak, just looked at him to see what he wanted to say.
"The world-famous General Min Wuyan Min, Chen can see it today, it is really a blessing for Sansheng!" After a moment, Chen Guo finally spoke.
Chen Guo is burly and has a loud voice, but Min Wuyan is young and heroic, with a tall figure, compared with the two, Chen Guo is slightly behind, at least the age is compared to Min Wuyan.
"You Chen Guo is also famous all over the world..."Min Wuyan smiled slightly and said: "It makes it difficult for the subjects of the world to sleep and eat, and it makes it impossible for the commander to lead the Northern Expedition!" ”
"General Min, this is a mistake!" Chen Guo shook his head when he heard this: "The general can't lead the Northern Expedition and recover his homeland, but there are faint kings and ministers, corrupt officials and cool officials, what does it have to do with Chen Guo?" ”
Min Wuyan was a little speechless when he heard this, Chen Guozhi's words still have some truth, the top does not want to forge ahead, and the lower will naturally follow suit, the so-called upward and downward effect, this is the truth, but the civil strife is endless, and it is indeed impossible to regain the homeland with one heart and one mind.
This is also one of the reasons why Min Wuyan led the army to suppress the thieves this time.
When Chen Guo saw Min Wuyan's appearance, he was immediately a little happy, and then said: "Chen Guoben is a showman, he has read scriptures and history since he was a child, don't you know the truth of loyalty to the monarch Xu Guo? However, he was forced by the traitor, and unfortunately stabbed Wen in both cheeks and matched it in Jiangzhou. But Chen Guo has fallen to such a point, there are still people who do not let us go, the original Chen Guo conspired, but only for three meals a day, but was harmed by the cool officials, Chen had no choice, only the grass as a coward. Chen and others gathered righteousness, just to eliminate violence and peace, assist the country and the people, support justice, just to eradicate rape and evil, and make decisions for the people. General Min, you are a famous general who is loyal and brave to the country, and your reputation is far and wide, but at this time, above the court, the monarch is faint and the minister, you may not be able to make a difference, why don't you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and conspire with Chen? ”
"Shut up!" Min Wuyan was furious when he heard this, pointed at Chen Guo and shouted angrily: "You and other rebellious thieves dare to be loyal to the monarch and Xu Guo? Do you dare to call it the eradication of evil and the rule of the people? The tragedy in Duchang, more than 20,000 households, men died and women were plundered, and Duchang was also looted by you, burning houses and countless fertile fields. And so on, too many to count, outrageous! You Chen Guo arrogated the emperor, plundered the women of good families as concubines, and seized the people's wealth, is it also to eradicate adultery and eliminate evil and make decisions for the people? Hmph, it's just for your own selfish interests, you Chen Guo and others are called saving the people, but you are actually thieves who harm the people! ”
Chen Guo's face turned red when he heard this, and he was already furious.
Look at the beginning of the thief, never make fish.
