Chapter 358: North-South Raiders
Anqing Province.
Seeing a huge number of warships sailing into the city, Duan Ling and Zhou Cheng were extremely excited, their cheeks were flushed, their eyes were shining, and they did not have the calmness and calmness of commanding the army before, but turned into the most obsessive fans, looking at the shadow on the battleship.
"I didn't expect to see the lord this time? ”
"If the lord goes out in person, he will definitely be able to succeed this time. ”
“......”
Not only the two of them, but also the soldiers raised their arms in an emotional manner, and kept shouting slogans such as "Congratulations to the lord", "Expulsion of the Tartars", and "Revival of China", in order to attract the attention of the woman, even if it was just a slight stroke, it was enough to make their hearts rejoice, thinking that the person was the goddess in their hearts.
Seeing that these two people had become like this, Gao Xuan's eyebrows furrowed, and he thought to himself: "This Xiao Feng, is it really so charming?"
He is a Song general, and it is not unheard of Xiao Feng's deeds before, such as the raid from the beginning, the battle of Taiyuan that made him famous, and the subsequent battle of escape after a long march of 10,000 miles, which have also been heard.
These battles were won and lost, which naturally gave Gundam some understanding of Xiao Feng's combat characteristics.
The tactics are appropriate, but the response is insufficient.
Every war brought the Huaxia army, which was originally in danger, back to life, but it always suffered considerable losses because of various accidents, and I have to say that this is indeed a flaw. But in addition to this, as a famous general, Xiao Feng's qualities are not bad, at least he can make his soldiers loyal to him, and even after his death, he still follows his will and does not decay.
This alone is enough to make Xiao Fengqing famous in history.
And Gao Da had no doubt that if Xiao Feng really came in person, he would naturally be able to thwart the Yuan army and win the entire battle.
But in this way, Xiao Feng's prestige will naturally rise to the top, winning the praise of the ministers in the court and even the people, as for the so-called nominal emperor, now his cheap son-in-law Zhao Yu, there is no possibility of turning over, which is even written in the ancestral law.
Thinking of all this, Gundam felt even more complicated, and the thoughts in his mind were extremely complicated: "Xiao Feng." What is your purpose? If you're a man, maybe that's fine. It's just a pity!" If Xiao Fengnai is a man, then he can naturally be the emperor directly, and he doesn't mind offering his loyalty to him, and as far as the identity of the other party is concerned, he does have this ability.
It's a pity that Xiao Feng is a woman, neither usurped the emperor, nor did she suffer from disasters, what she asked was just to expel the Tatars and restore China, so she also took various means to appoint herself as the first prime minister of the new dynasty, and the power of this prime minister is far beyond the previous prime ministers, and even the current emperor is far from matching.
This misplaced situation made Gundam feel dizzy and caught up in his own thoughts, not knowing how to deal with it.
"Hey. Now is not the time for distraction. After pushing Gundam, Lu Wenhuan pointed to the shadow in the distance and said, "You must know that the lord is calling us now!"
Gundam woke up at this point, shook his head to calm himself down, and then returned: "I see. His eyes were slightly condensed, and Duan Ling, Zhou Cheng and the others had also walked away, only Lu Wenhuan stayed beside him, looking at himself thoughtfully.
"Let's go quickly, or we'll be late. ”
Taking a step, Gundam and Lu Wenhuan rushed to the battleship together.
The same is made of steel, but the battleship that Xiao Feng is riding on now is more than twice as large as the Nujiao-class battleship, with a length of thirty zhang, a width of more than six zhang, and a carrying capacity of more than eight thousand materials, which is enough to carry more people and materials. Because its size has become larger, it can naturally carry more artillery, and there are a total of eight four-inch caliber Krup guns in the front four and four in the rear, which is also twice as large as the Nujiao-class battleship.
And on that wide deck, there were already many officers gathered at this moment.
They all straightened their waists and quietly looked at Xiao Feng, who was standing on the watchtower at the moment.
When Lu Wenhuan and Gao Gao saw it, they also hurriedly walked in, raised their heads together and bowed to Xiao Feng: "The ministers will meet Prime Minister Xiao." ”
"War is imminent, so you don't need to be so polite. Xiao Feng waved his hand and asked all the generals to sit down together, and then he jumped down from the watchtower and came to everyone.
Seeing that the generals looked nervous and breathless, Xiao Feng couldn't help frowning, and secretly sighed in his heart that his momentum was too strong after all, so he had to slow down his voice: "As for summoning you and others now, it is to discuss how to attack Jiankang Mansion and completely control the Yangtze River in our hands." Because only in this way can we completely cut off the northern reinforcements of the Yuan army, so that it can only passively stay in the Jiangnan area, and finally be completely wiped out by us. ”
"I see. ”
When the generals listened, they all nodded thoughtfully.
They have never doubted the strategy formulated by Xiao Feng, because as far as the past facts are concerned, this strategy will eventually be realized.
"It's just about the Jiankang Mansion, how do you think it should be solved? You must know that the Jiankang Mansion is surrounded by mountains, which can be described as easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we ignore it, it will be a great threat to us. And now Naboyan has 70,000 troops stationed here. That's why I'm going to ask you, how can we deal with the Yuan army stationed here?" Xiao Feng was a little annoyed, and asked again.
Sometimes, if the coach is too strong, he will eventually overshadow the light of his generals.
"Lord! Although Na Boyan is powerful, his strength is difficult to match with the lord after all, as long as the lord goes into battle in person, he will naturally be able to capture it. Seeing Xiao Feng's question, Duan Ling hurriedly stood up and began to express his opinion.
Xiao Feng pursed his lips: "I naturally know this." If they abandon the city and flee, they are afraid that they will cause great harm to the people in the Jiangnan area, and what will happen to us at that time?"
Xiao Feng is completely sure of taking Jiankang Mansion, but the only thing he can't grasp is Na Boyan's behavior, if he abandons the city and flees, he will massacre in the countryside, which is naturally not acceptable to Xiao Feng.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Fengfang gathered everyone together to discuss a safe means.
"This ......"
Duan Ling's voice froze, obviously he didn't expect the main guild to ask like this.
After all, he was still too anxious, too obsessed with military exploits, and forgot the impact it had on the people.
"Lord Qi. ”
At this time, Zhou Cheng stood up, and suddenly everyone's eyes fell on him, which made him feel more pressure, and the words in his mouth became much slower, for fear that something would be wrong: "Although Na Boyan is not the opponent of the lord, he is not an opponent to be underestimated." In the past, in the first war in the north, he fled under his own command, and even assisted Na Ali Buge to stabilize the court, which shows that his methods are extraordinary. And this time, if the battle situation is not good, Na Boyan is afraid that he will also choose to abandon the city and flee in order to preserve his strength. ”
"That's right. We have to guard against this. Xiao Feng sighed.
After experiencing a series of victories, the generals within the Huaxia army also began to swell, treating the Yuan army as a mistreat, thinking that the other party was just a coward like the Song army.
However, Xiao Feng has been fighting for many years, and he knows more about the Yuan army than the Yuan army himself, of course, he knows that the other party is not that weak, if he sees the defeat of the war, he will definitely choose to flee, there is no doubt about it.
"If that's the case, then there are only two routes that the other party can escape. ”
Zhou Cheng continued: "Needless to say, the first self is to return along the route of the Southern Expedition. However, the journey was very long, and it was too difficult to escape. The second is to continue to go south, if the homeland of the Southern Song Dynasty can be included in its jurisdiction, it will naturally be able to continue to deal with us. And we only need to arrange for this, and we will naturally be able to keep the other party in the Jiankang Mansion. Reduce the casualties to the people to the limit. ”
"That's true. ”
Gundam closed his head and replied, "After all, that Tartar is ferocious, and if they are allowed to plunder the countryside, I don't know how many incidents will occur." ”
"We really have to guard against this. Lu Wenhuan is also a way of response.
The two of them are commanders, not staff officers, and they are naturally silent about these strategic plans, and do not express their opinions, so as to ensure that they will not anger those Chinese army managers, perhaps this is a way of life for the army.
"Good. ”
Xiao Feng closed his head slightly, seeing the excitement on the faces of the generals, he immediately held his head high and began to give orders: "Duan Ling, Gundam." ”
"The last general!"
Gao Gao and Duan Ling were shocked and hurriedly walked out.
"This time, I will give you two 10,000 soldiers and horses to be responsible for the war in the Jiangnan area. It is necessary to regain the land that was once lost by the Yuan army. As a result, they were unable to obtain grain from the area south of the Yangtze River, understand? Remember, this campaign was mainly to conquer cities and territories, and cut off the possibility of collecting grain from the people. Got it?"
"We know. ”
Gao Gao and Duan Ling closed their heads together and took the order.
Seeing that the two of them received the order, Xiao Feng felt a little relieved, and said again: "Zhou Cheng, Lu Wenhuan." ”
"The last general!"
Lu Wenhuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect that he would be appointed one day, and he was extremely grateful in his heart, and Zhou Cheng also leaned down and quietly listened to Xiao Feng's order.
Xiao Feng took a deep breath, and then said, "Like Gundam and Duan Ling, I want you to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to be responsible for the war in the Jiangbei area. As for this mission, it is not to conquer the city, but to completely destroy the logistics and supply system of the Yuan army, so that it cannot transport supplies from the north to the south, understand?"
"I'll remember. ”
Hearing the news, the two of them were shocked, and immediately kowtowed.
Seeing that the four of them were in good spirits, Xiao Feng felt a little relieved, and said, "As for me, naturally I will lead the remaining 140,000 troops to attack Najiankang Mansion." I want to see what kind of ability Na Boyan has to block the front of our army?"
All the soldiers sued.
"I'm waiting to congratulate the lord on his success. ”
