Chapter 1204: Frightened

The fleet of the Yuan army bumped and bumped along the way, and finally saw the Song army's water village, and He Weixian, who was dizzy, got out of the cabin, and looked up to see that the half moon in the sky had risen, and he estimated that it should be the beginning of the ugly time. But suddenly the wind changed direction, and the fleet was blown several miles away from the intended location and drifted into a bay.

"Jia Qianhu, how many ships are coming up?" He Weixian looked at the hazy lake under the moonlight, and he couldn't see it clearly, he rubbed his drowsy head and asked softly. Although the rustle of the wind and the rustling of the reeds and the lapping of the lake on the shore drowned out the sound of the oars, he did not dare to raise his voice.

"Inner envoy, about a hundred or ten ships have arrived, and the rest have been lost on the way!" Jia Zhenhou also had a headache and was a little depressed.

"Don't panic, there should be a boat catching up." He Weixian was shocked when he heard this, but he still said calmly and vaguely, the chaos that came along the way made him really not have much confidence.

"There should be a boat coming to rendezvous, but I'm afraid that they will enter the Song camp by mistake and expose our plan!" Jia Zhenhou looked at the Song camp in the distance, although he did not find the Song army sentry boat at this time, but the lanterns and torches were lit on the water wall, which illuminated the nearby lake, and the Song soldiers patrolling the wall of the wall were clearly visible, and there were boats approaching and could not escape their eyes. However, they did not dare to make a sound, let alone raise their mast lights, indicate the direction of their ships, and guide them to the rendezvous.

"Yuwa lost the department, I don't know if it's arrived?" Everything didn't follow his own script, He Weixian didn't have a bottom at this time, and the waterway soldiers and horses he led had lost nearly half of his troops before the battle, so he was a little vague about whether he could break the water village by himself.

"The last general is not clear, we have no way to contact each other, but according to the estimate, it should have arrived." Jia Zhenhou was not sure about the authenticity. According to the plan agreed before leaving, the navy army launched an attack, and after causing chaos, Yuwa lost the army to take the opportunity to lead the cavalry to storm the camp on the shore of the Song army, so as to win time and opportunity for them to attack the camp.

"Well, they're already lurking nearby, just waiting for us to attack first!" He Weixian nodded when he heard this, and automatically ignored the uncertainty. In fact, he was already panicking in his heart, and asking him was just to make himself feel better, and at the same time to strengthen his wavering confidence.

"Inner servant, our army has lost too many soldiers on the way, and the fleet has deviated from the enemy's water village, so it is better to think in the long run!" Jia Zhenhou's heart twitched when he heard this, he thought that the original plan was difficult to continue to implement, and it was best to give up the attack while the enemy army had not yet discovered it.

"No, there will be one more hour of dawn, and once the withdrawal is discovered by the enemy, it will be impossible to get rid of it." He Weixian pinched his forehead, trying to sober himself up, "Although we have lost our troops at present, we still have the strength to fight, and we can't give up easily. ”

"This ...... The last general will listen to the orders of the inner envoy! Jia Zhenhou sighed. He also knew that it was not wise to withdraw his troops now, and the chances of forcibly launching an attack were not great, so he could only gamble now.

"We are short of troops to attack from the front, but we can send fireboats to disrupt the enemy's line of sight, and the rest of the ships will be dragged back to the right flank of the enemy's water wall. When the fire starts, immediately land and storm the enemy village, and directly take the enemy camp. Break the village in one fell swoop with Yuwa's lost left and right! He Weixian pointed to the direction of the enemy camp and deployed.

"......" Jia Zhenhou was silent for a while. Although he is an infantry army, he also knows some common sense, the water village in front of him is not a fence to block chickens and dogs, but to build a village with big wood, and in addition to the water gate, wooden stakes will be laid in front of the village to intercept the enemy ships rushing to the village, and the ships have run aground before they can get close. And their own troops are insufficient, but the reconnaissance Song army stationed more than 30,000 troops here, which is not counting the pro-army guarding the emperor of the Southern Dynasty.

"What does Jia Qianhu think?" Seeing that he was silent, He Weixian frowned and asked.

"Internal envoy, the enemy's camp is strict and well defended, and our army is insufficient, and the strong attack is not enough to shake the enemy's village, why not land most of the troops on the shore and choose the weak place of the enemy camp to sneak in, and then set fire everywhere to cause chaos, take the opportunity to burn the grain ships, and attack the camp!" Jia Zhen said thickly.

"Well, it's okay, it's up to a thousand households!" He Weixian agreed after a moment of contemplation. Along the way, he suffered from seasickness, and felt that it was not as good as being down-to-earth on the boat, and even a little frightened, so he went down the slope and got off the donkey.

Jia Zhenhou was greatly relieved to hear that the internal envoy had finally delegated command to him, and he had already understood that what this internal envoy said was the truth, but in fact, he didn't understand military affairs at all, and even lacked military knowledge, so he used 'taking it for granted' to formulate such a battle plan. If you let it go on, you will have to be killed by it.

With the order, Jia Zhenhou began to dispatch troops, and the inspection of troops found that his firearms and guards were quite complete, and most of the soldiers who were separated were strengthened from other departments. He knew in his heart that this was all due to his own preemptive control of the 'big ship', so that he could keep up with the brigade and not fall behind or be separated in the march. And now he didn't care about any robe feelings, so he ordered all the soldiers and horses of his headquarters to go ashore, and the rest of the troops drove fireboats to storm the water village, acting as cannon fodder to provide cover for his actions.

After going ashore, the number of people was checked again, and there were still more than 700 officers and soldiers in the 1,000th household of firearms guards, and although a small amount of equipment was lost, it could still support the first war. However, the morale was very low, and the situation was constant along the way, and they were tortured mentally and physically by the wind and waves, and their legs were still trembling after going ashore. But the firearms guards are highly trained after all, and they can basically maintain their composure and carry out orders.

The soldiers who had been reinforced were left on board, and they were all depressed when they watched the others land ashore, and they also knew in their hearts that they were being used as cannon fodder. But they didn't dare to disobey the order, their families were still in Dadu, and if they fled, they would inevitably be implicated, which made them a little envious of those who were lost and separated. But at the moment, he could only place his destiny on the destiny of heaven to ensure that the battle would be won, so he also silently reorganized the ships, especially those sailors who wanted to escape at any time, without these people, they could not even drive the boat.

Jia Zhenhou grew up in the military since he was a child and had a lot of combat experience, and after he went ashore, he readjusted his formation and sent outposts to quietly touch the enemy camp. Of course, they did not dare to march in a big way, and could only move slowly under the cover of the shadows of the reeds and woods, but they were still frightened, after all, this place was not far from the camp, and they could encounter the patrol of the Song army at any time, or be discovered by the lurking secret sentinels. Therefore, the startled beast and the 'poof' sound of stepping into the puddle can make people break out in a cold sweat.

I don't know if they were lucky, or the Song army was lazy, thinking that this place was far away from the battlefield, they were careless, and they did not find the patrol of the Song army on the way, nor did they encounter the lurking sentry, and the group walked to a place less than two arrows away from the camp, hiding in the reeds. Jia Zhenhou walked to the front of the team, pushed aside the reeds and looked at the enemy camp, and directly in front of them was the junction of the land and water camp.

"Jia Qianhu, what's the situation?"

"Oh, the envoy...... Silence! Just as Jia Zhenhou was carefully observing, there was a sudden sound of questioning in his ears, which frightened him, and turned his face to see that He Weixian came over with the support of the two soldiers, and he said softly with a slow face.

"Hmm!" This time, He Weixian was very obedient, and immediately squatted down and shut up. When he went ashore and saw the camp of the Song army under the moonlight, he realized that he was really whimsical, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only follow with his head.

This short road made He Weixian feel that it was the longest road he had ever walked, even if there was no warning sound ahead, but the black hole could not see the five fingers, making him feel that the dense reeds around him seemed to hide the Song army's front army and horses, and they could be devoured at any time. This made him feel terrified, and if he hadn't been supported by his own soldiers, he would have collapsed to the ground. And the reason why I came to Jia Zhenhou's side also felt a sense of security by his side, but it was not because there was any indication, and the instruction asked subconsciously.

"Internal envoy, the Song army's defense is lax, and I haven't found that our army is approaching!" Jia Zhenhou didn't know that He Weixian was looking for a sense of security, although he hated his fingering, he still lowered his voice and introduced.

"It's so the best, it seems that it governs the army strictly, and it is in vain!" He Weixian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and he also regained some confidence.

"The inner envoy is wise." Jia Zhenhou complimented him and continued, "You see, this is the combination of the water camp and the infantry camp, and the defense is even more lax, and the patrol team will not go here." There should still be a large number of boats in the water village, and they have not left, and we immediately launched rockets to burn the enemy ships after sneaking into the camp, even if we can't burn all the boats, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and it is finally worth the trip. ”

"How so?" He Weixian craned his neck to look in the direction of the enemy camp, and the high walled wall blocked his view, preventing him from seeing the situation inside, and asked suspiciously.

"Internal envoy, although we can't directly see the ships in the village, in order to ensure that the ships collide with each other at night, they will light the mast lights to warn each other, so that we can estimate whether there are still ships in the village." Jia Zhenhou explained.

"Oh, I see!" He Weixian looked at it according to his words and realized that the dense wood-like lantern in the water village was the mast light of the ship, and each light basically represented a ship in it, and suddenly he saw a string of red lights on the mast that was much higher than the other ships, "That ship should be the imperial boat of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, right?" ”

"The last general doesn't dare to conclude that even if it's not a royal boat, it is estimated that it is also a handsome ship of the navy!" Jia Zhenhou hesitated.

"I heard that the thieves of the Southern Dynasty like to live on the boat the most on weekdays, and if they happen to be on the imperial boat today, it will be an immortal feat to burn them to death!" He Weixian's eyes lit up and he said excitedly, and his voice rose a few degrees.

'Bang, bang, bang......' As soon as his voice fell, suddenly the alarm bell in the Song Army's water village suddenly remembered, which scared He Weixian, could it be that his words were heard by Song Jun......
