The Way of Vertical and Horizontal (4)
The rebellion in Xiaoyao City would directly lead to the surrender of many Song court military ministers, which he did not dare to imagine. Even if it is 10,000 steps back, the south gate can be crossed, but such a big battle must not occur.
As soon as Shao Fu came ashore and was free, he knew the information, and he also knew that Shao Fu was not sure. As soon as he came in, Tang Yu motioned for him to ask Tang Yu. Tang Yutou didn't reply, and said: "Pick up the most important thing, three days, all the writing, half a month is enough." Shao Fu looked at Xiaoyao and said solemnly: "I only have the army, not the overall situation, how can you let me decide?" Xiaoyao said leisurely: "You are in charge of the south, I am in charge of the north, this is enough." With the embellishment of leisure, Shao Fu finally has a backbone. As soon as the war started, it was such a big burden, and he was always a little uncomfortable.
Shao Fu turned around and returned to the ship, Xiaoyao City has built a large number of ships over the years, especially a huge warship like Dinghai Shenzhou, and its strength is not inferior to Song Ting. Shao Fu let the warship sail in two sections, divided into five routes, each with 2,000 boats. When Bailong's 8,000 Boat Division appeared in front of the Easy Boat Division, the two armies launched an attack order at the same time. Eight thousand against ten thousand, Xiaoyao City has a clear advantage. However, the South Gate Boat Division is different from the southern Boat Division, which is comfortable, has long-term military training, and has strong combat power. The city is also to maintain military training, no matter the wind or rain is never stopped, the two sides can be equal. Especially weapons, whether it is rockets, waist knives, hook locks, spears, and broadswords, they are all made by the Instrument Sect, and their combat power is almost equal. Bailong has been marching since he received the military order, and when night fell, he saw the lights of the Boat Division of Xiaoyao City. Immediately ordered the whole army to surround it, and only rammed and blocked, and not to fire arrows and burn ships. There was some distance between the two sides, and Shao Fu couldn't help laughing when he saw that the Nanmen Boat Master didn't give the order to release the arrows. Ye Shuilong snorted twice and said, "It seems that Song Ting doesn't have such courage. Shao Fu smiled: "No wonder the city lord has no fear, it seems that we have to eat and sleep." "Say it. The surrounding generals all laughed. The people of Xiaoyao City are not corrupted by Confucianism and are more open-minded, and Shao Fu's same military order was issued, and many soldiers understood it, and their already nervous mentality slowly relaxed.
Ye Shuilong suddenly remembered something and asked, "If it's the white dragon's trick." Do we have a chance of winning?" Shao Fu confidently asked: "Eight thousand to encircle ten thousand, what do you think?" Ye Shuilong was puzzled: "What does this mean?" Shao Fu said: "If you want to contain it, then bring it all over, and the province is always worried about when he will give you a knife." Ye Shuilong was puzzled: "Do you think Du Shanggui and Kang Yu will send out all the 10,000 boat divisions?" Shao Fu said: "Otherwise, I really can't think of other armies in the Song Court of Liangzhejiang." Ye Shuilong said: "Although they have the right to act cheaply, they can mobilize so many troops, do you think that Zhao Heng Lao'er will do this?" Shao Fu smiled and said: "With Prime Minister Kou here, Xiao Zhao's courage is still okay." Ye Shuilong knew that he had the grace of Taizong's acquaintance, and saw that he actually called Zhao Heng Xiao Zhao. I can't help but laugh. Ye Shuilong couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said, "It seems to be tense, but it's not, but it doesn't seem appropriate to surround them all." Shao Fu nodded and said, "Then let Vice General Li lead four thousand troops to go around outside." Ye Shuilong laughed when he heard this: "This plan is very wonderful, very wonderful." ”
So nearly 20,000 people played on the water. Seeing that Xiaoyao City had not released its arrows, Bai Long smiled slightly, and ordered to spread out the formation on the left and right wings. Let the fleet of Runaway in. On weekdays, the boat division at the south gate often meets with the boat division of Xiaoyao City, but at this time, the whole army is dressed up. Even the bamboo armor on his body is the same, except that the clothes of the imperial court are red, and the city of Xiaoyao is cyan. At this time, the two armies met each other, which was different from the usual petty fights, and they were all amazed and amazed. Seeing that Bai Long had set up a pocket array, Shao Fu ordered the whole army to enter. Li Congzhou led the 4,000-boat division to the west flank. This time, the white dragon did not stop it, and the South Gate Boat Division quickly surrounded Shao Fu's 6,000 Boat Division in the middle. Shao Fu immediately ordered to drop anchor and set sail, and did not even do the defense, and the army was de-prepared. Even some of the heads. The command was clear about the intentions of the Nanmen Boat Division, but Shao Fu was shocked when he did this. Seeing that Shao Fu was so generous, Bai Long simply ordered the Nanmen Boat Master to also set sail and anchor. The two armies were opposed, but they did not attack, Shao Fu asked Bai Long with deep internal force: "Is it to eat and sleep, or should you stare at me and I stare at you?" Bai Long straightened the phoenix feather on his head, and always felt uncomfortable, as if he had a cockscomb, but for the solemnity of the army, he also had to wear it. Seeing that Shao Fu took the initiative to ask, he replied: "The initiative is in my hands, and it is not a good thing to sleep too peacefully." Shao Fu said: "Then we won't sleep, watch me." With that, Shao Fu ordered the rocket to be released.
Although this military order was strictly ordered, only a few hundred rockets were fired sporadically. Seeing Shao Fu like this, Bai Long felt helpless, this was simply a scoundrel's trick. At that time, he also ordered to send five hundred arrows to the boat division of Xiaoyao City. In this dark night, the rockets of Xiaoyao City were scattered, and the five hundred rockets of the South Gate Boat Division were concentrated in one place, which was very spectacular, but the spread range was small. A rocket like this in the vast sea could not be fully guarded against, and although the boatman had a shield and a water frame for scooping seawater, he had to do a lot of work. So the two armies fired a wave every half hour, and they were busy with each other. Both armies were eagerly prepared, but in fact they were tired at this time. But they didn't let each other rest, and the soldiers were extremely angry with each other's rockets. Li Congzhou, who was on the periphery, saw that the sporadic rockets on both sides were flying all over the sky, and immediately went around the back of the white dragon to shoot two hundred arrows, and then ran to the left, harassing the white dragon around the encirclement of the white dragon repeatedly. The white dragon also returned his hand and shot at Li Congzhou on the periphery, which was also a piece of fire, and the Nanmen Boat Master finally breathed a sigh of relief. Li Congzhou ordered a rest after going around in a circle, and he also knew the deep meaning of Shao Fu letting him lead the army outside, and the white dragon would not stop him. Sure enough, when he arrived, Du Shanggui, the governor of Mingzhou and the commander of the soldiers and horses, led his son Du Furang to lead the navy of 5,000 to help. When Shao Fu received the scout's message, Ye Shuilong sighed on the side: "It must be that the two armies have their own military orders, and it is not good to be under control." Shao Fu nodded and said, "It's okay to come, at least we're done." At that moment, Shao Fu ordered to send a signal for Li Congzhou to go outside the encirclement behind Bailong and drop anchor. Ye Shuilong was puzzled: "You don't seem to have anything to say?" Shao Fu said: "If what I expected, Kang Yu's supernatural army has bypassed us and gone to Nantianmen." Ye Shuilong suddenly realized and said, "So you already knew?" Shao Fu shook his head and said, "I've just been thinking about whether it would be cost-effective for Song Ting to attack Xiaoyao City just for Tang Yu." Ye Shuilong shook his head and said: "It's not cost-effective, both sides will lose, and both sides will suffer." Shao Fu nodded and said: "Especially the South Gate and Zhizhou are not the same, in order to prevent each other, 20,000 boat divisions seem to be a lot, but in fact it is difficult to command." This is a drawback that cannot be solved, and it is also a drawback that Song Ting is unwilling to solve. Ye Shuilong couldn't help but sigh: "Prevent this today, guard against that tomorrow, and don't be too tired to panic." Shao Fu shook his head and said: "From the perspective of the overall situation of the Song Court, although such an establishment is dull, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and Xiaoyao City is just a drop in the ocean, which is incomparable." ”
Ye Shuilong asked, "Who will Kang Yu send?" Shao Fu said, "The one under his command who is best at water warfare is the Seventeenth Commander Yan Jin. Ye Shuilong nodded and said worriedly: "But Tai and that hot temper, there won't be an accident, right?" Shao Fu said: "People with a hot temper have a strength, that is, once they get angry, they have no scruples, the three armies of the brave crown, especially the brave and resourceful generals, you often work together, can't you see the delicacy of Taihe?" Ye Shuilong rolled his eyes and said: "Only those who are allowed to take advantage of the situation and are not allowed to suffer losses, and the six relatives do not recognize it, which is also called strength?" Shao Fu said: "What else do you want? Do you think you are okay with yourself?" Ye Shuilong couldn't help but laugh.
Taizhou Zhizhou and Soldiers and Horses Jurisdiction Kang Yu and Du Shanggui are hermits in Lingnan, recruited for Emperor Taizong, married the princess of the clan, supported by Taizong, led the governors of the two states for more than ten years, and won the trust of Taizong and the current emperor Zhao Heng. These two people are in charge of nearly 80,000 soldiers and forbidden troops, and there are more than 30,000 people in the Xiang army, even young and old, and they are the two states with the largest number of officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of all the governors of the imperial court, in order to deter and clamp down on Xiaoyao City. These two people do not command each other and have the right to act cheaply, but since Emperor Zhao Heng ascended to the emperor, he has added a clause after the right to act cheaply, so that the two armies do not command each other, clamp each other down on Xiaoyao City, and each other clamp down. As soon as Du Shanggui and Kang Yu discussed, they each led their own troops to fight. Kang Yu sat in Taizhou and sent the commander Yan Jin to lead 3,000 boat divisions to deter Nantianmen and clamp down on the army in Xiaoyao City. This Yan Jin has been familiar with maritime affairs since he was a child, and his promotion to commander is based on his ability, and he is very supported by officers and soldiers in the supernatural army, and he is a young general who can do both land and water. As soon as Yan Jin led the army to the outside of the Nantian Gate, he ordered the release of rockets and feather bombs, and after shooting, he ran to the Nantong Gate to shoot a pass. Outside the Nantong Gate and the Nantian Gate is not very open, there is only ten zhang of open land outside the city at high tide, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the sea is deep and shallow, and it is not suitable for infantry to fight. Yan Jin was like a fish in the sea, Qin Taihe's army could only run back and forth in the city, and Qin Taihe's face was blue with anger on the city wall. The southern city defense division is under the jurisdiction of Mansha, and he can't help but persuade him at the moment. Although Qin Taihe is not afraid of heaven and earth, he is upright, and he is always afraid of Mansha's poisonous skills. Suddenly, he remembered it and said, "Can you keep using your Meisha Pavilion's laxative?" Mansha's beautiful eyes trembled, she was surprised, knowing Qin Taihe's intentions, she immediately asked the maid to fetch a large box, and then the maid wrapped it in a rocket eagle feather bomb, and then matched it with a bed crossbow, and made more than a hundred and ten pieces. Carefully observed the closest approach of Yan Jin's army, and ordered to set fire to the arrows. Although Yan Jin is brave, but after all, he lacks actual combat, although he is cautious about the bow and arrow of the infantry army, he can't guard against the bed crossbow, after all, he has to get close to the city wall to release the arrow.
