Chapter 48: Two Urgent Military Intelligences
Feng De picked up a monocular and looked at the river, gasping for air.
An endless fleet of ships slowly approached from the upper reaches of the Tongyuan River.
He immediately ordered: "Raise the flag to the 'Xijiang', order Yu Zhong to withdraw to Shuizhai, and order the 121st Division to board medium-sized warships and set sail to cover the retreat of Shuizhai and the ships of the Shuizhai and the Shuishi." ”
Both sides of the river had seen the flotilla in the upper reaches of the Tongyuan River, and Ying Tai had already known that reinforcements would come, so he immediately ordered: "Order all the warships to rush forward and entangle the enemy's ships." ”
Yu Zhong stared at the slowly approaching fleet in the distance, and issued the last order in a hoarse voice: "Order all ships to leave the battle and withdraw to the water village except for the 'Zhenjiang' at the front, and order the flagship sailors to advance with all their strength and rush towards the enemy flagship!"
The warships of this world have no artillery and no ballistas, except for archery attacks, which are to strike with the bow of the ship and board the ship.
Yu Zhong drew his long sword, walked to the bow of the flagship, pointed at the enemy warship, and was about to issue an order, when the captain of his personal guard suddenly struck out and stunned Yu Zhong with one palm.
"You two take the commander and get off the boat, hurry back to the water village, and leave the charge to me. Yu Zhong's captain said to the other two guards.
The patrol boat was more flexible and fast, and it quickly left the battlefield, Fan Yuzhen's boat used to follow the "Zhenjiang", but now it has also withdrawn, looking at the flagship of Xijiang Shuizhai that continues to rush forward, tears were left in the corners of her eyes.
At this time, a small boat was lowered on the flagship, and two people on the boat desperately waved to Fan Yuzhen, and Fan Yuzhen let the patrol boat come over.
A man in the dinghy shouted at Fan Yuzhen: "General, Yu Zhong, the commander of the Xijiang Water Village, has fainted, please bring him back to the Water Village!"
When Fan Yuzhen was about to ask someone to pull the two guards on the dinghy onto the boat, the guards on the dinghy picked up the oars and pushed the patrol boat away, and then rowed in the direction of the flagship.
"General, please send the commander back to the water village safely, we have to go back to the ship to find our brothers, we won't go back!" The two guards were going to fight with their colleagues on the flagship.
Fan Yuzhen stood quietly at the stern of the boat, beating her chest with her right hand, saluting the guards on the dinghy.
All the patrol ships quickly retreated into the water village, and the remaining large warships were covered by a hundred medium-sized warships that rushed out from behind, and more than 30 of them successfully withdrew to the water village.
More than a dozen large warships, led by the flagship "Xijiang", slowly sank in the fire.
The encounter began at dawn and lasted for two full hours, during which 14 large warships and 23 patrol ships were sunk, and 10 large warships and nearly 30 small warships were damaged. More than 3,500 people were killed and more than 700 wounded.
Seven large warships and 32 medium-sized warships were sunk by Qi, and 10 large warships and more than 10 medium-sized warships were damaged. More than 4,000 were killed and more than 1,100 were wounded.
Qi's reinforcements had 150 large warships and 400 medium-sized warships, and the Tongyuan River was covered with masts like forests and white sails like clouds, and the entire river was densely packed with warships.
"Send a message to the camp of Qingshui County, so that the 1st and 2nd Army Corps of the 1st and 2nd Central Schools can quickly move closer to the Xijiang Water Village; the 122nd and 123rd Divisions go to the warehouse to take out their bows and arrows and climb the turret and the wall; close the gate of the Water Village, and all the large warships will stand by the gate; the 124th Division will send two brigades of cavalry to follow the enemy ships along the river, and if the enemy troops land, they will immediately report back and harass them. Vonder issued a barrage of orders.
Feng De said to the staff officers beside him: "The warships of the Jiangdong Prefecture of the Qi State are almost all concentrated here, their vanguard is to block the ships of Shuizhai, and the follow-up troops should find a place to land downstream."
The first batch of troops to land was close to the number of one legion, and it seems that Qi Guo used at least two legions this time. They chose this direction to attack, I am afraid that it is a joint Cao State, I don't know how many troops Cao Guo sent over this time. ”
Feng De's guess was basically close to the truth, he didn't know how many people had come from Cao Kingdom, but Long Yuan, the city lord of Double Dragon City, knew it clearly.
Cao Guo's naval army of more than 20,000 people is storming the water village of Shuanglong City.
The patrol ships of Yangyuan Prefecture were all concentrated in the area of Shuanglong City, and Cao Guo's fleet could not sneak attack, so they could only choose to attack.
There were many merchant ships of the Cao State docked in Shuanglong City, and the 14th Army Corps, which was stationed in Yangyuanzhou, specially sent the 131st Division to garrison outside the city to isolate the eyes and ears of the Cao State. When the patrol boat found that Cao's navy was attacking in a big way, the 131st Division immediately pulled out the camp and drove into the Shuanglong City Water Village to assist in the defense.
The main force of Yangyuanzhou's naval army on the Tongyuan River is in the Maoerwan Water Village in the upper reaches of Shuanglong City, and the Lianbakou Water Village in the lower reaches.
There are only ten large warships and twenty medium-sized warships in Shuanglongcheng Water Village, and all the small patrol ships have withdrawn to the Lianbakou Water Village downstream because they found Cao Guo's water army.
The dock where merchant ships docked was between Ssangyong City and Ssangyong City Water Village, and to the north of the city, all merchant ships were docked at the pier and the nearby waters. During the war between the two countries, merchant ships were indistinguishable from each other and would be sunk as soon as they came close to the battlefield.
Long Yuan is already fifty and eight, is a fearless knight in the later period, when he was young, he saved the life of the old king Shaodian Long, and was canonized as a viscount, and his territory is Shuanglong City.
He turned out to be a son of the Long family, but because of a conflict with the family, he was expelled from the house, and after coming to Shuanglong City, he had no contact with the Long family.
When the Cao Guoshui army came to attack, Long Yuan released the letter eagle early in the morning, and informed the camp of Qingshui County that he took a thousand guards to the east city tower.
Ssangyong City is a border city, so the number of city defense troops is more than that of ordinary cities, with a full 3,000 people, plus the city lord's palace guards happen to have a brigade guarding each wall.
In the camp of Qingshui County, Yang Hai, Long Shun and others, who were in a meeting, were interrupted by two military information, and Staff Officer Xu sent by the General Staff Department stood up: "I have asked my entourage to go to the county town to transmit the military information through magic and report the military situation to Marshal Lukui, and the original military order is now invalid." Captain Yang, Captain Dragon, let's discuss the next arrangement. ”
The General Staff Department will send staff officers to supervise and urge the generals of the unified army to carry out military orders according to the plan, but the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the plan must be changed in case of an emergency, and the staff officers of the accompanying army will cancel the original plan and let the commander-in-chief of the leading army decide on their own response plan, and the accompanying staff officers will record it for the staff to discuss in the future.
Due to the absence of the commander Yang Kui, the actions of the local legions were decided by Yang Hai, Long Shun and Staff Officer Xu.
Yang Hai ordered someone to open the map of Yangyuan Prefecture, and his finger was drawn from Xijiang Water Village to Shuanglong City, and he pondered for a while, and said: "This year is the year of Dafeng on both sides of the Tongyuan River, and the two countries of Qi and Cao sent troops to attack these two places at this time, which is nothing more than to destroy the grain harvest in Yangyuan Prefecture, which coincides with the purpose of our expedition this time."
At present, to determine how many troops they have dispatched, I think the first thing to do is to rescue Shuanglong City, Xijiang Water Village has thirteen legions, as long as it is held firmly, it will definitely not be lost. ”
"I went to Shuanglong City, originally the Second Army was going to harass the border of Cao on the Tongyuan River, if the Cao army came with few people, then I will fight it; if they come with more people, then gather the fourteenth army corps as well, how can our two legions be able to hold it." Long Shun said very simply.
In terms of seniority, Long Shun is Long Yuan's nephew, and it is reasonable for him to take the initiative to go to Shuanglong City.
"If they were to sabotage our grain harvest, they would not send too many troops, at most two legions per country to harass them, and any more would have outweighed the gains. Now that Yangyuanzhou plus we have four legions, we will not be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but the other party does not know about this situation.
In their plan, we only have two legions stationed, and they most likely want to use four legions to fight two of our legions, and use this to plan and catch them by surprise. Staff Officer Xu analyzed on the side.
Xun Yue, commander of the 11th Division of the 2nd Central Army Corps, came to the map and said: "There are still three troops that have not been counted, Maoerwan Water Village and Lianbakou Water Village have a total of 50,000 people, and the patrol team of Xijiang Water Village and Xijiang Water Division has more than 11,000 people.
Cao Guoguo thought that Qi Guo could contain the naval forces of Mao'erwan Water Village, and they planned to forcibly capture Shuanglong City before we could react, but their warships could transport up to 100,000 people to land at a time. ”
"I suggest that the 2nd Central Army Corps send 10,000 cavalry to set off for Shuanglong City immediately, and transfer the 132nd Division to enter Shuanglong City immediately. The water armies of Mao'erwan Water Village and Lianbakou Water Village were exhausted, dragging the follow-up troops of Cao's army on the river, and with 34,000 people defending the city, Cao Guo could not capture Shuanglong City in a short time.
The Fourteenth Army quickly assembled and rushed to the area of Shuanglong City, and the defenders in the city were enough to resist the attack of Cao State. ”
Xun Yue pointed his finger at Maoerwan Water Village, and continued: "Let the Thirteenth Army Corps leave two divisions in Xijiang Water Village, and the remaining troops will withdraw fifty kilometers away, so that Qi Guo's troops can land with peace of mind."
The main forces of the 1st and 2nd Central Army Corps rushed to Maoerwan Water Village, where 100 large warships and 200 medium-sized warships were mobilized, and we could rescue Xijiang Shuizhai by land and water.
If the Qi army advances into the hinterland without waiting to capture the Xijiang Water Village, we will leave a division to guard the Maoerwan Water Village, and the main force will advance by land to divide the Qi army from the middle. The main forces of the 1st and 13th Army Corps surrounded the vanguard of the Qi State, and the 2nd Army Corps entangled the landing camp of the Qi State and prevented them from boarding the ships and retreating.
If the Qi State attacked the Xijiang Water Village, then the main force of the 13th Army Corps was ordered to drag the enemy army as far as possible on the periphery, and we divided the water and land routes, marched north along the river bank, and quickly rushed to the battlefield, so that the Qi State could not retreat safely.
In either case, Marshal Yang Kui's main force in Hexi Prefecture can take the opportunity to attack Qi State, and I estimate that Qi's Jiangdong Prefecture is now empty, and the 17th and 18th Army Corps should be able to easily sweep Jiangdong Prefecture. ”
