After putting a brig cruiser into construction, Su Yan summoned several of his generals to the General's Mansion to prepare for a military meeting.

The generals under his command also knew the news of the impending attack of the Qing army, and when they hurried over, everyone had a nervous and anxious look on their faces, and after meeting Su Yan, they all stood in front of the map of Fujian Prefecture.

Su Yan looked solemn, pointed to Feng Cixi at the junction of Quanzhou Mansion and Xinghua Mansion, and said: "This time the Qing army is menacing, and there is a great tendency to completely suppress our army.

Therefore, I have decided to line up on the north bank of Fengcixi to meet the enemy, block the Qing army north of Fengcixi, and when you go back, you will count your soldiers, and set off tomorrow morning after breakfast, and build fortifications on the north bank of Fengcixi in advance. ”

When Su Yan's words fell, Su Ci spoke: "But General, the chariots you ordered the craftsmen to build have only been built in a total of less than ten in just a few days, which is a little too few. ”

"Time is pressing, gather all the carpenters and bring them to the north bank of Fengcixi together, and use local materials to make them, and the soldiers will work on the side to build as many chariots as possible." Su Yan said.

Su Ci nodded, and then Lai Xun asked out loud: "The Qing army's artillery far exceeds our army's, and it will definitely bombard our army's camp with artillery before attacking, if our army's artillery is destroyed because of this, what should we do?" ”

"That's a problem." Su Yan touched his smooth chin, according to his plan, the artillery will all be deployed in the car array, and when the Qing army comes over and charges, he will fire at the Qing army at close range with the newly unlocked shotgun, and be bombarded into a sieve by the shotgun at close range, not to mention the Qing army in this era, even the modern army of later generations can't bear it.

It's just that in this way, it is very likely to be destroyed by the artillery of the Qing army.

Su Ci said at this time: "There is no need to worry, dig a pit behind the car formation that can accommodate the artillery, and the mound of soil in front will be tamped into a slope, so that even if the Qing artillery shells hit, they will also bounce off the momentum, and they will not be able to threaten the artillery behind." ”

"This method is very good, so I use the method of Yuchen (Su Ci Table)."

After Su Yan praised it, he changed his words and said: "Tomorrow's expedition, temporarily commanded by Yuchen, I will sit in Quanzhou, and after the Qing army arrives, I will lead more than 5,700 soldiers in the city who have received training to join you." ”

"The last general commands, the commander!" Su Ci clenched his fists and promised.

Su Yan nodded, and continued: "In order to deal with this battle, I have ordered the flintlock rifles equipped by the militias in each county to be replaced with bird guns, and there are a total of 240 flintlock rifles that have been replaced. ”

"Yes." Su Ci replied again.

"Let's all go back and get ready." Su Yan glanced at a few people and said, "This will be a tragic battle, and after I cross the bridge with reinforcements, I will order the bridge to be burned and fight against the water." ”

The generals were taken aback when they heard this, they looked at each other, but they still hugged their fists and said, "The subordinates are retired." ”

……

The next day, November 16, Su Ci led a large army to the north, carrying a large amount of grain, grass and tools, crossing Fengcixi and setting up camp, cutting down the surrounding trees, building chariots and wooden fences in their place, and digging trenches for soldiers to enter, as well as traps such as horse pits.

Su Ci led the army to leave, Quanzhou City suddenly became empty, and even the atmosphere in the city became tense, the people were the easiest to perceive the war, they saw the army go north, and it was rumored that the army of the Qing court was coming.

In this atmosphere, a ship flying the Zheng flag slowly sailed into the port of Quanzhou.

This time it was Feng Chengshi who Su Yan was most familiar with, but when he saw him again, his face was not as calm and peaceful as before, but instead of a look of anxiety.

As soon as he entered the General's Mansion and saw Su Yan, Feng Chengshi endured the anxiety in his heart and saluted him, before he could speak, Su Yan smiled first and said:

"Mr. Feng, you came just in time, I just need my eldest brother's help."

"What?" Feng Chengshi swallowed back the words that came to his mouth and asked.

At the same time, he was relieved to think that this Su Yan finally knew that he was afraid, and knew that he had to ask the country master for help.

"The Qing army's attack this time, the waterway is advancing simultaneously, and I can deal with the land battle, but this waterway, I only have two warships in my hands to fight, how can I fight against the Qing army's sailors, so I want to ask my eldest brother to send troops to help me repel the Qing army's sailors."

"The surname of the country is exactly what it means." Feng Chengshi said: "The surname of the country knows that General Su needs assistance, and has decided to send more than 6,000 sailors and 65 warships to meet the Qing army's naval division, and General Su does not need to worry." ”

Seeing that Zhu Chenggong had already made a decision before he could speak, Su Yan was not only a little moved in his heart, he nodded heavily, and said, "Please ask Mr. Feng to mention me to express my gratitude to the eldest brother when I go back." ”

Feng Chengshi nodded and agreed, and then, he asked tentatively: "Now that the Qing soldiers are attacking in a big way, I heard that General Su has transferred troops to the north, but there is a perfect strategy to meet the enemy?" ”

"This is what the eldest brother asked Mr. Feng to ask." Su Yan looked at each other with a smile and said.

Seeing through by Su Yan, Feng Chengshi didn't feel embarrassed, he nodded, and said as it should be: "Exactly, the surname of the country is not at ease, if General Su needs it, the surname of the country will personally lead the troops to help, and fight against the Qing army together with General Su." ”

"It doesn't have to be that way." Su Yan shook his head and said, "Please ask Mr. Feng to go back to Tongyu eldest brother, he only needs to lead the army to attack."

Dear, this chapter is not finished, there is the next page oh ^0^ Just fight Zhangzhou, the Qing army will be dealt with by me, and the rest, Mr. Feng doesn't need to ask more. ”

Seeing that Su Yan's attitude was so resolute, Feng Chengshi could only nod and agree.

The reason why Su Yan didn't let Zhu Chenggong lead the army was also because of his consideration.

Zhu Chenggong's soldiers are proficient in water warfare, and land warfare is difficult, if they are defeated by the Qing army first, it will directly threaten Su Yan's own formation, he believes in Zhu Chenggong's sailors, and he can't believe his army.

Another point, Su Yan also needs to have a safe rear, his current territory is surrounded by enemies on three sides, surrounded by mountains in the west (Tingzhou direction) and the local Qing army is empty, there is no need to worry, the north is fighting with him, and the Qing army in Zhangzhou Mansion in the south still has soldiers to fight, if the Qing army in Zhangzhou Mansion steals his ass at this time, Su Yan will have no time to take care of it.

Therefore, this requires Zhu Chenggong to send troops to Zhangzhou, and take Zhangzhou Mansion before the Qing army in Zhangzhou moves, so that not only Su Yan no longer has to worry about the enemy in the direction of Zhangzhou, but Zhu Chenggong can also get a base on the mainland, which is simply the best of both worlds.

Dear, this chapter is over, happy reading! ^0^
