Section 0983 Six edicts go to war
After the rope of the squad was successful, Li Ke led the team to attack the northeast, bypassing the enemy's defense line, creating an illusion to the enemy that they were going to be cut off.
Woodwally led the men to besiege from both frontal directions at the same time, putting on a strong attack posture, but it was only a high-intensity feint, consuming a huge amount of arrows and oil, but there was not much chance of hand-to-hand combat.
When the enemy divided his troops to the rear to stop Li Ke, Li Ke led his soldiers to use the raft to quickly go down the river.
The ropes tied in advance played a decisive role at this point, and these strong ropes stopped the raft down the river, allowing Li Ke to land with his troops, and then use the quickly assembled catapult to attack the oil directly into the enemy camp.
The enemy army was in chaos, and then the internal attack was flanked.
Next, release the opening in the north, after the enemy army has fled, the whole army presses in pursuit, and uses the rout to attack the enemy's second line of defense camp, if it can be taken, it will be captured in one go, if it cannot be taken, most of the original fortifications of the second line of defense will be destroyed.
Li Tai's idea for Konoe Tadahito was the opposite.
Li Tai's trick was to be trapped, and he sent elite troops to insert between the first line of defense and the second line of defense. There is no big river around the enemy camp that Konoe Tadahito was going to attack, but it is also a slope that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, after cutting off the enemy's rear route, Li Tai sent troops to continuously throw animal carcasses into the upper reaches of all the streams that could get water in the enemy camp, and then surrounded the military camp of the enemy's first line of defense to put on the defensive, and at the same time ambushed the enemy troops who came to the rescue of the second line of defense.
The continuous shouts of killing and fighting for days made the men of the first line of defense go out of the camp to engage in a field battle with Konoe Tadahito when the rear guard was breached, the supplies were gone, and they were surrounded.
The two tactics Hou Junji and Su Dingfang both expressed their support, and they had a very beautiful small-scale battle style.
The other battalions only needed to watch the barracks of their targets, and after any enemy army left the advantageous terrain that was easy to defend, whether it was an ambush or an attack on the same terrain, Hou Junji and Su Dingfang were full of confidence.
Qin Qiong, Cui Junsu, and Tang Jian put on an attitude of only looking and not speaking, Qin Qiong held the talisman in his hand, but in fact, he put on the posture of supervising the army, and he didn't ask about military affairs at all.
The only thing that was said was to suggest that the two generals, Hou and Su, listen to the tactics of Woodwally and Konoe Tadahito.
A national war cannot end in a few days, the Tang Dynasty in order to levy the six edicts of logistics reserves enough to fight for two years, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin gave a strategic policy is one word, stable.
It is said that the Indochina Peninsula is attacking from the south to the north, and the battle to destroy the Six Edicts has begun.
Liu Mu also returned to Huating.
Huating Military Port was closed, and a big-bellied canal tank ship transporting grain was responsible for loading gold, and this time the transportation was not even called by the people, all of which were carried by the reserve of the naval division and the escort of the Donggang Shipping Division.
It would take some time to get all the goods from the sea ship to the canal ship, so Yanagi took Romeo to the city of Huatingzhou.
Huating has been promoted to a state, because the population has long exceeded 10,000 households, and the population here in Huating is only more than 20,000 households registered in the Tang Dynasty, plus the Fusang people, Silla people, Jiaoren, Zhenla slaves, etc., have received 60,000 households, that is, there are almost 300,000 people living here, working and living in Huating.
Cui Yiye heard that Liu Mu was temporarily staying in Huating for a few days, and he specially put down his official duties to welcome Liu Mu.
"You're idle?" Liu Mu's first sentence after seeing Cui Yiye hurt Cui Yiye's heart, Cui Yiye is not a master who will need people's sympathy, and replied very indifferently: "It's a little idle, and there is nothing earth-shattering recently, three baskets of paperwork a day for this son, and he can still find time to taste a tea." ”
The three baskets of paperwork are terrifying.
Yanagi tried to process three baskets of paperwork in a row, and felt like his head was about to crack.
"Surprised?" Cui Yiye asked with a smile.
Liu Mu nodded slightly: "I originally thought you were very idle, so you would come to accompany me to take a walk in Huating, the three baskets of paperwork are very headaches." ”
Liu Mu spoke seriously, but Cui Yiye didn't plan to let Liu Mu go, he still had a calm and clear expression: "This is the IQ problem, the new word I learned recently, from the Chang'an Medical Sacred Hall, the IQ problem." ”
Cui Yiye didn't directly say that Liu Mu had a low IQ, but the meaning was very obvious.
Of course, Liu Mu understood what the IQ problem was, so he laughed dryly and didn't fight back, and turned around to introduce the people around him: "This is Romeo, a nobleman from the Mediterranean, and at the end of last year, King Yan asked him to be crowned an earl. ”
Cui Yiye put away his smile and saluted Romeo very seriously with the etiquette between the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.
Romeo hurriedly returned the salute, although he didn't know who Cui Yiye was, but he could hear the conversation just now, it was obviously a mutual ridicule, and it was obvious that this person's identity would not be low.
The other people around Romeo, Yanagi, were not introduced, and they were not qualified to be introduced by Yanagi.
Only Romeo's old butler, Liu Mu, mentioned it.
For loyal servants, the upper-class nobles of the Tang Dynasty are very favorable, and Cui Yiye immediately sent someone to fetch a folding fan and give it to Romeo's old butler, with his own drawings and poems on it.
Liu Mu said to Cui Yiye again: "Romeo, on behalf of the Mediterranean merchant group, hopes to purchase 150,000 pieces of fine linen of various colors for this year's purchase. According to calculations made by the Mediterranean merchant group, the annual demand for high-grade linen cloth in the countries bordering the Mediterranean is about 1.2 million horses. ”
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Cui Yiye secretly glanced at Liu Mu with a puzzled look.
If someone else mentions 150,000 horses, Cui Yiye will also explain that Liu Mu can not know what 150,000 horses of linen are.
Not to mention Huating, there is no large-scale linen mill in Cixi, most of them are industries for processing raw hemp, hemp products, silk and making machines, and the output of various kinds of fine linen is close to one million horses per year.
Oh!
Cui Yiye understood in an instant.
Liu Mu is going to let these Mediterranean barbarians see what linen is.
This is easy to do!
Cui Yiye instructed the entourage to make arrangements, and then said to Liu Mu: "I happen to be free today, and the new batch of apprentice weavers trained by Huating No. 2 Textile Workshop have entered the internship period on the machine, so it is better to go and have a look." ”
"Okay."
Liu Mu knew very well that Cui Yiye understood what he meant.
Why did he choose the second workshop instead of the first workshop, Liu Mu also knew the reason, because the first workshop was selected for the convenience of river transportation, and as a result, he could not expand again, so he built the second workshop.
Due to various restrictions such as area and location, the first workshop has now become the location of a fine linen and weaving school.
Huating is still planning to build the third textile workshop, because the scale of a workshop is too large to manage, so after reaching a certain scale, only a new square can be built.
