Chapter 910: Defeat the Dongying Army

The vast sea, cloudless, and sunny winds make it a great time to go out and have fun. However, the Dongjiang Army Naval Division was nervously preparing to set sail.

The Dongying Army has not retreated, and is still entrenched near the waters of southern Fujian, always looking for opportunities to fight the idea of the Dongjiang Army. And Cheng Zuo, who was temporarily in charge of military power, did not dare to act at will before he received Mao Wenlong's order.

Fortunately, the food and grass are replenished enough, and now Chengzuo has no worries, and he has time to spend it with the Dongying army. The Dongjiang Army needed sufficient food and grass supplies, and the Dongying Army also needed it. Without adequate logistical supplies, the Dongying Army will inevitably not be able to sustain itself.

And today is the first order sent by Mao Wenlong after waking up. His meaning was very simple, he wanted Chengzuo to directly attack the Dongying army. End this dispute as soon as possible at all costs. After repelling the Dongying army, they had to stand by and wait for Mao Wenlong's next instructions.

Cheng Zuo didn't know what Mao Wenlong's so-called next instructions were? But he didn't care so much. After waiting for more than a month, I finally waited for the order to start a fight with the Dongying army, and that was enough.

Here in the southern Fujian sea, the Dongjiang Army Naval Division has already held its breath, and this time, Cheng Zuo has absolute confidence to completely drive the Dongying Army back to his hometown within three days.

"Huge, the meaning of the general army is very clear, he wants us to drive the Dongying army back to his hometown at all costs in the shortest possible time." Cheng Zuo patted the chart on the table, pointed to the place where the Dongying army was, and said in a deep voice.

"How you want to fight, big brother just say!" It's rare that there is no shouting.

According to his temper, when he encounters such a thing, Haoda will definitely immediately burst into a rage. After all, he has been holding back his evil anger in his heart for more than a month, and this will finally be the time to vent, and the natural reaction should be as usual?

Looking at the vastness that still behaves calmly? Cheng Zuo's heart suddenly had doubts, he looked up and down seriously for a long time, and opened his mouth to ask, "Why are you so calm?" ”

Haoda rolled his eyes directly, and said angrily: "The temper has long been worn out, these Dongying troops are like flies, they can't drive away, they can't fight, what else can I do?" ”

Listening to Haoda's explanation, Cheng Zuo was relieved. In fact, if you think about it seriously, it is indeed the case, even he himself has unconsciously adapted to it, let alone the huge number of them.

The Dongjiang Army's best means of attacking the enemy is still a hot air balloon. If you don't give full play to this advantage, you are not a shrewd general, Chengzuo is obviously not stupid, and when he fights with the enemy, he naturally thinks of these at the first time.

"Huge, all the hot air balloons must be lifted into the air tonight, bring enough gunpowder and fierce fire oil, and deal a blow to the Dongying army. Remember, you don't have to pay attention to any handsome ships this time, those are all lies. The Dongying army has fought with us a few times, and they have already learned to be shrewd. After thinking deeply, Cheng Zuo gave instructions to Hao Dadao.

Haoda immediately nodded and agreed, what Cheng Zuo said was true, those damn Dongying troops were indeed becoming more and more shrewd. Every time a hot air balloon was dispatched to attack the Dongying army, those Dongying troops always saw the hot air balloon turn around and ran away from a distance, and they didn't dare to hesitate at all.

That night, more than 200 hot air balloons quietly rose into the air, and under the cover of night, they went straight to the Dongying army. Cheng Zuo is not idle, he will not leave any chance for the Dongying Army to sneak attack. With Mao Wenlong's lesson last time, the Dongjiang Army's preparedness is always on the highest alert.

In the South Fujian Sea, there was once again a thunderous explosion and a sky-high fire. The Dongying Army never expected that the Dongjiang Army, which had been silent for more than a month, would suddenly come to attack again.

Without any preparation, they were directly defeated, and fleeing became their only choice. And Cheng Zuo did not let go of such a good opportunity to pursue, and after learning that they had succeeded in the battle, he had already led the whole army to quietly press and fight.

Sneak attack, coupled with the already strong strength, and the invincible hot air balloon co-attack. In the face of such an enemy army, the Dongying army did not have any suspense, and suffered heavy casualties on the spot and was unable to form an army.

During the war in Hainan, letters were sent to Mao Wenlong's case every day, and the great victory of the Dongjiang Army was not what Mao Wenlong expected. Putting down the battle report just delivered, Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "It seems that these Dongying troops can't hold out for two days, and the battle report sent tomorrow must be the news that the enemy army has retreated." ”

Hong Chengchou's old face wrinkled into a bun with a smile, he put down the teacup in his hand and said, "In this way, the sailor will not be able to go straight to Qiongzhou Mansion." ”

Mao Wenlong raised his head and glanced at Hong Chengchou, and suddenly the smile on his face was lost: "Mr. still cares so much about the Qiongzhou Mansion?" ”

Hong Chengchou also became serious when he heard this: "Qiongzhou Mansion is the place where we must take it first, and the grain there is enough for the entire south. Only by taking the Qiongzhou Mansion and building a large dock there, the naval army of the general army wants to dominate the southern seas, and this supply problem will be settled, right? ”

was asked by Hong Chengchou like this, Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment. His original plan was to take advantage of the victory of the Dongjiang Army and Naval Division to directly attack the Dongying Kingdom. Completely conquer this place that is a disaster, and then free up your hands to deal with the problem of what Qiongzhou Mansion and the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

But now that Hong Chengchou is asked to analyze it like this, he thinks it makes sense. Most of the supplies of today's Dongjiang Army and Naval Division have to be transported from Nanjing or the north. Not only is it a long way, but it is also very cost-effective.

If, according to Hong Chengchou's words, the Qiongzhou Mansion was taken first and turned into the main supply base of the naval division in the south, then the Dongjiang Army and the naval division would be able to travel freely throughout the southern seas without having to worry about the supply problem.

After thinking about this, Mao Wenlong agreed to Hong Chengchou's proposal on the spot. changed his previous decision, and called Mao Jingwen to write a holy decree and send it to Chengzuo.

After asking him to retreat from the enemy, he immediately led the army straight to Qiongzhou Mansion. The holy decree was delivered to Cheng Zuo's hands as quickly as possible, and his side had just successfully retreated from the enemy, and after receiving the holy decree, he no longer pursued the Dongying army. After leaving 100 hot air balloons and 200 warships to defend in the southern Fujian Sea, he acted according to his orders.

At this moment, Chen Ding, the prefect of Qiongzhou, who was still drunk and dreaming of death, did not know that his Chen family was in great trouble. It was only when the Dongjiang Army's naval division army completely surrounded the entire Qiongzhou Mansion that Chen Ding realized that something was wrong.

Cheng Zuo did not fight directly, but sent an envoy to persuade Chen Ding to surrender, asking him to give up any resistance and return to the imperial court. Of course, in exchange, that is, he can still be the prefect of Chen. It's just that in the future, the military and political power of the entire Qiongzhou Mansion will be completely controlled by the Dongjiang Army.
