Chapter 81: The Crow Ghost Strategy Forced to Death
The wind and rain not only did not become smaller, but became greater, and even the amplitude of the turbulent waves of the sea became more alarming, and they redoubled their efforts to beat the embankment.
On the pier of Cave Bay, a qiē seems to be the same, with a hanging wind lamp, a quiet wooden shed, and a bean lamp that is weak and shining in the window in the distance.
However, sometimes it is not possible to judge a qiē by appearance, for example, at this time, the long row of warehouses on the right side of the pier in Cave Bay was originally empty, but at this time there were a large number of soldiers inside, although many people were so cold that their lips and faces were blue, but none of them made the slightest sound, very neat.
Another example is the two six-masted and seven-masted giant ships moored on the dock, in which the captured Han slaves have been released, but they are still guarded, which is equivalent to house arrest in the cabin, crying quietly while eating dry food, and wrapping their wounds.
Of the forty-one Donghai people who stayed on the wharf of this hole, eleven died, and the remaining thirty were all imprisoned - Lin Fengjin's vision has always been quite long-term, and it can be expected that manpower will become a very valuable resource for a long time in the future, so at this time, Lin Fengjin did not kill indiscriminately, but planned to squeeze the surplus labor of these guys.
The silence of the moment is just brewing, waiting, and fermenting.
Soon, several figures flashed out of the night, and the lantern shook to the left, then to the right, and finally to the lips and made a bird's call.
This signal had been agreed for a long time, indicating that the rugged mountain path had been paved with wood and straw, and that the exit to the mountain was completely controlled. At this time, I saw a large number of soldiers silently rushing out from the nearby warehouse area, and then slowly rushed up.
Originally, it was a sword and shield soldier, because in such weather, the sword and shield soldier was more like a panacea. Whether it's a street fight in an indoor, a flat battle, or a battle that can be adapted to any situation.
It wasn't until the sword and shield soldiers were finished that the cavalry climbed up with great difficulty.
Lin Fengjin looked at this scene and suddenly smiled:
"The big thing has been decided. ”
Then he walked up to it.
At this time, the news of the successful capture of the dock had already been sent back, so the fleet that had sent Lin Fengjin and them before had all turned back once and returned again, this time the ships were transported. There were more than 2,000 men who were used as porters, half of whom were herdsmen in Wu Zuocheng, and the other half were prisoners of the East China Sea Alliance, who were particularly good.
At this time, he began to give full play to his internal affairs expertise, ordering the demolition of those who should be demolished, the unloading of those who should be unloaded, and the resolute not to let go of any wooden sheds and the like, because this thing can be used to build siege equipment. At the same time, there is no wood on the grassland, so they tear down an extra plank and walk. This means that the other party will have to travel thousands of miles to transport an extra plank - which will undoubtedly make the other party's stretched capacity even worse.
At the same time, he began to ask his crew to scrutinize the two six- and seven-masted ships to see if there was a way for them to be repaired in a short time, or else they would be sunk. This is also a pity, you know, for the Central Plains, the six-masted giant ship is estimated to be able to find some way to build it. However, the seven-masted giant ship is a rare commodity that money can't buy, and it's simply unique.
The results were analyzed by several shipwrights. The answer I got was that there was a way!
This sounds quite contradictory, it is obvious that the shipbuilding technology of the East China Sea countries is more sophisticated, and even their craftsmen can't repair the ships in a short time, why can the craftsmen of Wu Zuocheng, a small place where he became a monk halfway, pat his chest and pack tickets?
The reason for this is that the craftsmen on Wu Zuocheng's side have become accustomed to having external help.
What an external force, of course, is a monster with infinite power.
For example, in order to avoid harassment from people from the East China Sea countries, Lin Fengjin sank a few ships directly at the entrance of the port, and it was a very difficult job to move the wrecked ships blocking the waterway, under normal circumstances, it would take at least hundreds of manpower, and the duration would be as long as half a month, but Lin Fengjin could find the help of the demon python with infinite power in the Ao family, and directly shortened the construction period of half a month to half a day, and only cost five strong laborers- Their use is to throw the roasted pigs and sheep onto the cart, and then drag them to the monster pythons working underwater to add food
And now there is also such a situation, such as many East China Sea coalition craftsmen find it very difficult, such as how to get a room-sized wooden board into the water, and then buckle it to the bottom of the leak according to their operating procedures, that is, to build a simple dock on the shore first, drive the giant ship into it at high tide, and when the tide is low, the giant ship will be "stranded" in the dock, and then it can be slowly repaired.
And now, Lin Fengjin doesn't even need to invite the demon python, he directly gives orders to the giant python to do this, and the two giant pythons can complete these underwater operations. Therefore, in two or three hours at most, these two giant ships can be repaired properly, and since then they have changed their ways and become Lin Fengjin's private property.
Although the envoy can perfectly restrain all kinds of monsters, it can't play any role in this regard.
When Lin Fengjin knew the good news, the battle in the camp of Cave Bay had come to an end, and the five hundred defenders were not enough for the elite brought by Lin Fengjin, not to mention that after the Han slaves found out that someone was supporting, there was also a riot immediately.
At this time, it was not Lin Fengjin's turn to go to the battlefield, his role at this time was to stand quietly on top of a bamboo building, firstly, so that the soldiers could see that they were with them, and secondly, it could allow people to quickly find themselves and quickly deal with some things that they had no way to make a decision.
For example, there is a squad leader asking about the captives. Lin Fengjin's answer is very simple:
"If you want to leave, they are free now, they can leave at any time, but we can save people for free, but we won't send people home for free. What? You say these people actually want to attack the contents of the storehouse? Hehehehe, that's what we stole from those bastards in the East China Sea Alliance. Are they able to touch it!!What are your knives for?"
After the squad leader got Lin Fengjin's order, he immediately ran out majestically, and then soon there was a scream in the dark, followed by a commotion, angry scolding, but then a series of screams came, and then a qiē was restored as before
The corners of Lin Fengjin's mouth twitched, there are always some guys who don't know the current affairs, and what Wu Zuocheng lacks now is nothing else. It is the talent, the people of the Sanli tribe are born with a tendon in this regard, not that there is a problem with their intelligence or anything, but because of the living environment and cultural awareness.
At this time, it is just the opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to rescue the prisoners to collect and recruit a group of talents, and to enrich Wu Zuocheng's current administrative team. As for those who were not willing to integrate into Wu Zuocheng at all, for Lin Fengjin, it was worthless, and it was already a great favor to get out of slavery after he rescued them. If you don't know what to do, then Lin Fengjin is also ruthless.
At this time, Wolf Tu also suddenly rushed over from the outside and said:
"Childe, Childe!"
Lin Fengjin saw the happy appearance of the wolf's rare gaffe. is to laugh and say:
"What's wrong? How many beauties did you grab today?"
The wolf grinned suddenly:
"Grain, a lot of grain!!It's all good white rice!"
At this time, Lin Fengjin noticed that there were still adhered rice crumbs on the wolf's teeth, which looked like they had just been chewed. Wolf Tu seems to be rude, but in fact, he is also secretly careful, and he has long known that the food in Wu Zuocheng will be eaten in only ten days. didn't say anything, but in his heart he was secretly very anxious.
This time, he rushed up with people, and he ran directly to the granary, for fear that the people in the East China Sea Coalition who stayed behind would be angry and burn the grain, so he fell several times on the road. Such a solid person, to be honest, is really quite rare.
On that day, Wu Zuocheng attacked the camp of Cave Bay at night, robbed a six-masted giant ship, a seven-masted giant ship, seven ships of gold and silver treasures, 170,000 stones of grain and grass, and captured 8,000 people.
And set up an ambush in the camp of Cave Bay, luring the defenders of the barrier defense line to come out to rescue in the name of captivity riots, first luring them into the camp, highlighting the cavalry impact, encircling and killing, countless dead in the battle, the defenders of the barrier defense line dispatched 8,000 people, only 1,500 people were defeated and returned!
When the crow ghost learned the news, and confirmed that Lin Fengjin was attacked from the sea, he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly vomited blood and fell into a coma, and never got out of bed since then, and five days later, he died directly in the Chinese military tent. Before dying, he shouted three times:
Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate!
Seven Hatreds!!
Others may not be able to see the significance of Lin Fengjin's surprise attack on the camp in Cave Bay from the sea, but the crow ghost strategy, a guy who has been hostile to Lin Fengjin for a long time, knows this.
There are ships patrolling day and night at the mouth of Wu Zuocheng, so that Wu Zuocheng cannot go to the sea, and the land encirclement and blockade line makes Wu Zuocheng impassable, and there is no way to send people to open up another sea outlet, so the crow ghost strategy can sit back and relax.
However, once Wu Zuocheng's army silently appeared in the Cave Bay camp, this means that Wu Zuocheng has actually mastered the method of restraining the Su My envoy, so that he can successfully attack the Cave Bay camp at night!
And if the advantage of the Su I envoy is lost, it is already very unrealistic to completely lock Lin Fengjin at sea with only the C War Zone, unless he doesn't do anything, he can't gather all the ships to keep an eye on Wu Zuocheng! But how is this possible?
Then it means that although Wu Zuocheng is locked by the barrier defense line on land, it has already opened up a unique way to open up a sea line of communication, once this city can successfully communicate with the outside world, a steady stream of metabolism, and transport grain and grass personnel, the difficulty of its attack will be increased several times.
At this time, Wu Zuocheng was already regarded as a fortified city that could not be conquered, and it could only be surrounded so that its food and grass would run out, so how could it be fought after the difficulty of attacking it increased several times?
So what's the use of the rampart defense line here? The other side can send troops by sea at any time and bypass it! In other words, this defense line carefully built by the East China Sea coalition forces. It's a complete waste!
This line of defense has become a waste, so what has become of the commander-in-chief of the defense line of the Ghost Strategy?
Thinking about the complacent attitude of the past few days, at this time, he witnessed Lin Fengjin's high spirits, how could the arrogant Crow Ghost Ce endure it? How could he swallow this breath? But now he racked his brains and didn't know what to do at all, could it be that he ordered his 50,000 men to attack the city?
Please, it's not that I haven't done it before, before 30,000 elites went to attack the city, and the other party still deliberately weakened the power of the city defense and let it attack the city, and the end result was that 30,000 people only ran back and less than 10,000 people! Now there are only more than 50,000 people in the hands of the crow ghost strategy, even if these 50,000 people are piled up to attack the city. Can it be broken? This is obviously wishful thinking.
Therefore, the only way for the Raven Ghost Strategy is to die.
Only when he dies can he arouse the attention of the top brass of the East China Sea Alliance to Wu Zuocheng, and only when he dies can he inspire the hatred of His Royal Highness Tianlu, for the crow ghost ce, Lin Feng trampled on his dignity and glory, then the crow ghost ce used his life to make the final counterattack, and it was also the most ruthless counterattack!!
For Lin Fengjin, during the three months of besieged city. It must have lost a considerable amount of profits, but the goods that had been hoarded before were sold at a high price at this time, making up for a large part of the losses, and then a large number of horses seized from the East China Sea coalition were sold. Another subsidy.
At this time, the wealth that has not yet been realized in Lin Fengjin's hands is even more amazing.
First of all, it is the special products of the East China Sea countries that are exchanged for tens of thousands of stones of moldy grain. The handicraft industry in the country is sluggish, and the small industries are either taken away as soldiers or bankrupt. At this time, it was quite difficult to find Lin Fengjin so many goods even among the countries of the East China Sea, let alone the Central Plains.
If the special products of these East China Sea countries are realized, the wealth in exchange for at least a few million taels of silver, this is the first windfall, strictly speaking, this is the only windfall that Lin Feng has spent his capital, although this capital is so meager that it is not worth mentioning.
Secondly, the more than 20,000 prisoners of war captured by Lin Feng, as well as the more than 8,000 Han slaves rescued, this wealth belongs to the senior potential stocks, and in the next few years, it will gradually appear in more than ten years, but it is equivalent to the foundation of the house, and the foundation of the king is so important that it must not be ignored. This is the second windfall.
Next, Lin Fengjin seized a large amount of gold and silver treasures from the camp in Cave Bay and two giant ships, which needless to say are the wealth of the Central Plains, but after being blackened by Lin Fengjin, of course Lin Fengjin will not do good deeds and return it to the original owner, and will inevitably take it for himself, which is the third windfall.
In the end, Lin Fengjin seized six three-masted ships, three four-masted ships, two five-masted ships, one six-masted giant ship, and one seven-masted giant ship from the camp in Cave Bay, as well as hundreds of dock shipwrights supporting it, which was the fourth windfall, and also made up for Wu Zuocheng's shortcomings in shipbuilding and repairing ships. The value of this fourth windfall is even more staggering, especially the six-masted and seven-masted ships, which simply belong to the kind that they can't buy.
And more importantly, for Lin Fengjin, who owns a free port, the capacity of these seized ships has also reached hundreds of thousands of stones, as long as it takes time, it is like a hen that can lay golden eggs, and will quickly hatch a lot of profits.
In the next two days, Wu Zuocheng carried out a series of simple and crude work, transporting the special products of the East China Sea countries, and a large amount of gold and silver treasures obtained by black and black on the ships, and then screened the prisoners of the East China Sea Alliance Army and the slaves of the Central Plains, and selected the most honest people in them, and finally in addition to the remaining 10,000 defenders of Wu Zuocheng at this time, the herdsmen who had made meritorious contributions to the free people left 5,000, the most docile slaves in the East China Sea Alliance Army left 5,000, and the slaves of the Central Plains left 3,000 people, and the rest were all transported away。
Then this fleet set sail, because the stakeholders on this fleet are very important, so Lin Fengjin also attaches great importance to it, and finally sent out Chibili, who can be in charge alone, to preside, their target is not anywhere else, it is Wantian County in the territory of Northern Qi.
It is close to the sea, and it is still Lin Fengjin's senior brother Xu Kang, and there is also a wharf to dock, and as a very important transportation port between Wu Zuocheng and Shangmao City, the Lin family is still permanently manned here. Lin Fengjin's fleet, with the help of the locals, could be easily hidden.
As for whether his fleet would encounter the question of the East China Sea Alliance's plundering fleet on the way, Lin Fengjin was not worried at all, the sea was so vast and vast, and it was a needle in a haystack to search for traces of a fleet on it.
Don't say it's now, in the memory of Lin Fengjin's previous life, in World War II, there were radars, radios, and even airplanes in the sky and submarines in the sea, and during the Battle of Midway, the Japanese army did not discover the US aircraft carrier formation until an hour and a half after the bombing of Midway!
Can the size of Lin Fengjin's fleet be compared with that of the US aircraft carrier formation? Can the reconnaissance methods of the East China Sea Coalition be compared with the reconnaissance methods of Lin Fengjin's previous life during World War II?
Nowadays, water war ambushes generally occur in the river, such as the classic Poyang Lake estuary ambush on the Yangtze River water surface of the boat, which can be detected by the naked eye through the spies on both sides of the Yangtze River, the probability of such an encounter at sea is not impossible, but it can be said that it is infinitely close to zero.
At the same time, Lin Fengjin also carefully calculated the situation after this battle:
Even if the enemy has some emergency communication method, he can immediately spread the bad news that he has captured the camp in Cave Bay, what will this C theater react to after getting this bad news, the first reaction must be furious - the nest has been raided, what else can be done if the chrysanthemum is stabbed?
The next thing I must have thought about was revenge.
But having taken this into account, then the question arises, how to retaliate, and what to take revenge?
Wu Zuocheng is on land, so it is very unrealistic to retaliate with a naval army, the other party only needs to sink two or three small boats full of stones on the channel, and the ships will not be able to sail into the good harbor below Wu Zuocheng.
Then it can only be the army, very well, things are back to square one, if they can be defeated, why bother to build a barrier of defense.
Well, then it seems that the only feasible way is to gather the forces of several war zones to clean up Wu Zuocheng and pull out this stinger completely. This must be encircled by sea and land, otherwise, the encirclement and suppression on the land will be in full swing, but people will continue to transfuse blood for Wu Zuocheng on the sea, so what else is there to fight?
However, it must be noted that Wu Zuocheng also has a certain strength at sea, and it is now an era when three three-masted ships can lock Wu Zuocheng.
It can be accurately calculated that at least there were three four-masted ships, two five-masted ships, a six-masted ship, and a seven-masted giant ship moored on the pier of Cave Bay at that time, and these ships were all guarded by So-I envoys, and when converted, there were nearly six or seven hundred heads!!
Such a number of Su I envoys is enough to make three or four deep-sea ancient beasts and other perverts flee when they hear the wind, but Lin Fengjin can eat them quietly, so conservative estimates are that it will take at least three times the number of ships to trap Wu Zuocheng.
Such a big sacrifice is true, it is indeed a sacrifice, because at this time, the capacity of the East China Sea Coalition Army is extremely tight, and the negative consequences of pulling out such a group of fleets to besiege are extremely huge, and it must also have the prestige of the ability to coordinate and dispatch two or three theaters of operations, and more importantly, this kind of dispatch must be based on the dispatch of the military strength of several countries. (To be continued......)
