Chapter 817 Yuanjiang Water Division

On a sand island off the coast of the Yuanjiang River, in the reeds, a team has been lurking here for nearly two months.

There were only five people in the squad, and they were originally a survey squad.

Dressed in camouflage rags of the same color as the reeds, with an eight-fold theodolite with the same camouflage cloth net hanging on it, three shifts fell, and the team paid attention to the movements of the sailors at the mouth of the Yuanjiang River day and night.

Forty days' individual rations, though very economical, were about to run out.

Captain Xiao Ying's face was also painted with oil paint, looking at the horizontal plane in front of him.

The location of this sand island is very unique, just below the sea horizon of the mouth of the Yuanjiang River.

On weekdays, the Yuanjiang Naval Division could not see them, but as long as the large fleet was moved, the two sides could see each other.

Xiao Ying turned her head to look in the direction of the sea, and there were several small black dots on the horizon.

It was his own fleet, closely watching the movements of Sand Island.

At most, the patrol boats of the Yuanjiang Navy Division could only come to the vicinity of Sand Island, and their small flat-bottomed boats dared to sail close to the coastline, and did not dare to stay away from the coast at all.

They had never noticed that there was a team of five on the Sand Island, and even more unexpectedly, there was a fleet armed to the teeth, eyeing the open sea.

Xiao Ying dragged the canvas bag beside him and opened it to check the provisions, there were only two ham sausages left in the canvas bag, and a few biscuits mixed with tea powder.

A sergeant crawled over, dragging a leather bag behind him.

Deep in the reeds is a shelf with an oilcloth funnel and a filter cartridge under the shelf.

This is a filter designed by Su oil, which is filled with activated carbon, silica gel particles, and small pottery beads.

The Yuanjiang River is full of water, thanks to God, when the tide falls every day, you can still get "fresh water" here.

Xiao Ying helped the sergeant pour the water from the leather bag into the oilcloth funnel, and then lightly patted the soldier on the shoulder, signaling him to take off his water bottle and prepare to help him receive water.

The warrior did not take his eyes off the eyepiece, reached out and unbuttoned the kettle on his body, and went directly out of the cloth bag.

Xiao Ying reached for the kettle, but found that the warrior did not let go, and pulled again, but still did not let go.

"The third child!"

"Captain, there's a situation!"

Xiao Ying raised his head, and with his well-known good eyes in the exploration team, he didn't need a theodolite at all, and he could see that a sail like a sesame dot appeared in the estuary.

The remaining three fighters also touched it: "Dog's day, it's really enduring!" Finally moved? Do you want to hit the signal? ”

Xiao Ying stopped: "Don't worry, don't expose it at the critical moment, count the ships first!" ”

The five of them suppressed their excitement, opened their respective notebooks, and began to record.

It took two hours before there were no more sailboats at the mouth of the river.

Xiao Ying took the small notebook: "Three hundred and fifty-five, what about you?" ”

No two numbers are the same, but they are both between three hundred and fifty and three hundred and seventy.

Xiao Ying slapped his thigh: "Just count it according to three hundred and fifty, send a signal to the rear, No. 1 command!" ”

The four warriors stood up, and now they didn't have to hide anymore, and excitedly gave Xiao Ying a chest-beating salute: "Yes!" Instruction No. 1! ”

A few people quickly opened a canvas package, which contained a roll of orange-yellow blinds and a few pieces of wood.

Soon, a huge slab more than a man tall was erected on the sand island.

Xiao Ying asked the warrior to move the theodolite over and aim it at the top of the mast exposed on the horizon, and then pressed down the pressure rod on the edge of the slab, and the shutter was flattened with a bang.

A soldier stood behind the theodolite and watched, and his mouth kept muttering, "Hurry up, hurry up...... Hurry up, hurry up...... Captain! The Meishan sent back the flag. Confirm, Instruction No. 1! Again, Instruction No. 1! ”

"They're moving! Meishan, Chengdu, Hangzhou, moved! Here they are! ”

"Oh-" A neat cheer rang out from the sand island, and the five men jumped and shouted excitedly, taking off their camouflage caps and waving wildly at the ships in the distance.

……

Farther afield, on the Taishan, Su You was studying the situation of the two armies.

Zhang Qi is in charge of the supply line, this baby was in charge of the logistics department of the Northwest Shogunate back then, and now the logistics has been replaced with guns, and with the help of Su Hui, he is even more familiar with the road.

The battle has been fought so far, everyone knows the hole cards of Song and Yue, and the tactical fancy can still be played, and strategically, there are no big waves.

Today's situation, not counting his own team, is generally that the Guangnan Naval Division relies on advanced ships and has an advantage on the sea, while Li Yue's Naval Division has more river boats and has an advantage in the river; On the land route, the Song army had the advantage, but it could not cross the Fuliang River without a boat, and even if it did, there was still a Yuan River behind.

And Li Changjie's heavy troops were all deployed between the Fuliang River and the Yuan River, two hundred miles from east to west and thirty miles from north to south, on the Liangjiang Plain, making it difficult for the Song army to cross the chasm.

Li Changjie is not an ordinary man, if he didn't have his own strange army, the staff team would have deduced a total of five times during this time, all of which were lost by the Great Song Dynasty.

Su You wanted to pick up the leak, he hoped that there would be a loophole in Li Changjie's deployment, and if the situation was tight, the Yuanjiang Naval Division would be transferred north to support the Fuliangjiang Naval Division, then he could advance directly along the Yuanjiang River to Shenglong Mansion!

The Yuan River is the largest river in Cochin, and the water flow from Thang Long Province down is gentle, deep and wide, so that Su You's Taishan can sail in.

The flow of the Fuliang River is much more turbulent, the river is also shallow and narrow, the Meishan type can go in, the Kuizhou type is a little reluctant, and the Hangzhou type is difficult.

Li Xian came in, threw the helmet on the table, and took the thick stack of military newspapers on his side: "This is the news from ten days ago!" Now that I guess it's been a fight, what's the matter? The group of water rats hasn't moved yet? ”

The two Meishan ships travel between Ruxizhai and Taishan, and it takes two days for one trip, but the problem is that Guo Kui's former army news will take six to seven days to send it from the north bank of the Fuliang River to Ruxizhai!

General Su You opened the newspaper and read it: "Lao Guo set a trap for the Vietnamese army, this is to eat the puppet Zhaowen Marquis, and the target is actually Changjiangkou." ”

"As soon as the Changjiang Estuary is lost, Wei Shouan's naval division will lose the port, and our Guangnan Naval Division and the land army will be able to join forces, and if Li Changjie does not die to protect the Changjiang Estuary, our army will share the natural danger of the Fuliang River equally with the Vietnamese army."

"Will he give up? Is this Zhaowenhou's stupid trick or Li Changjie's conspiracy? What do you think? ”

Li Xian was a little speechless about Su You's thoughts: "You smart people, what's the use of figuring out this?" Or does Li Changjie have the same hole cards as us? ”

"If not, what do you care about him so much? Give me five boats, and Di Yong and I will directly lead the Yijin army into Thang Long Mansion! Captured that puppet queen mother and Xiao Wang! ”

Su You glanced at him, and knocked on the chart with his baton: "Where is there a ship?" Zhiyuan, Huzhou, Suzhou, transported the Guangrui army to Zhancheng; Hangzhou, Chengdu, Meishan, Taishan, are monitoring the waters off the Yuanjiang River; Ning Yuan is in the village of the past and returned here. ”

"Five ships, plus Ning Yuan, who you just took over, you want to take away my military power?"

Li Xian smiled: "The prison army also has the qualifications of a counselor, so what do you say?" ”

According to the military report, Su You arranged the troop movements of Guo Kui and Li Changjie: "Go and ask them to deduce." ”

After a while, Di Yong, Chao Buzhi, and Ping Zhengsheng all came in, along with Li Xian and Sun Neng, and Sun Neng had a big white gauze patch on his face.

Su You asked, "How?" ”

Sun Neng's face was wrapped, he couldn't open too much, and his speech was a little hesitant: "Shi Niang saw it and said that it was no big deal, but the military doctors had thick hands and feet, and the needles were a little thicker." ”

Su You smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Your father knows that he will definitely be proud of you, but he will blame me for making you hurt." ”

Sun Neng also smiled, but tears flashed in his eyes: "My first thought at that time was, if my father was there, what would he do." ”

The history is strikingly similar, when Di Qing was also a pioneer and just came out of Guirenpu, he was attacked by Nong Zhigao.

It was Sun Neng's father, Sun Jie, who fought under the mountain to win a turnaround for the army, but he died heroically.

Su You patted him on the shoulder again: "Good job!" You are the strongest of all of us, and you will preside over it. ”

At this moment, the clerk broke in: "Tell the minister, the flag from the Meishan is coming, the No. 1 order!" ”

Su You took the record book over: "Confirm? ”

The clerk stood upright: "Confirm!" Instruction No. 1! ”

Su You picked up the quill pen from the table and signed his signature: "Raise the sail!" Go ahead of your plan! ”
