He Rubin was planning the defensive arrangement of the camp with the generals in the tent, but received a report: Shishan was lost, 500 defenders fled, and all the food was burned.

"What?" He Rubin was shocked. I'm really afraid of what, the grain station is destroyed, the grain road is cut off, not to mention, where can tens of thousands of catties of grain be raised in a short period of time? Nearly 10,000 soldiers eat horses and chew horses, and they consume an astonishing amount of grain and grass every day, and they must not be less every day, otherwise the collapse of the whole army is imminent.

Chaozhou general Tong Yizhen hated and said: "The thief is really hateful. If we take the food, we can think of ways to take it back. They actually burned it, this is to burn the jade! ”

He Rubin sat down on the chair in a daze, pressed his hand on his forehead, and had a headache. The grain station was destroyed and the grain was burned, even if they went to Lingao and Chengmai to desperately loot, it could be used by the army for a few days at most, but it could not change the overall situation.

Wei Lianheng returned to the earthen fort that night with the good news of cutting off the grain route of the officers and soldiers, and there was jubilation in the earthen fort.

Lin Weiye said excitedly: "The food is gone, and the official army is not defeated now?" ”

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the number of officers and soldiers far exceeds ours, and it will hold on for a while, and it will not be willing to retreat like this." Sima De calmly reminded, "The commander of the official army is He Rubin, the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, who came with a battleable army in the whole province, and Wang Zunde, the governor of Liangguang, has high hopes and will not retreat easily. However, it is certain that the hearts of the officers and soldiers will be shaken. ”

Wei Lianheng analyzed: "The grain platform was destroyed, if the officers and soldiers want to continue to hold each other, they can only temporarily transport grain by land from Qiongshan, but only by shouldering and carrying it, it is difficult to solve the salary of the car, and the officers and soldiers may choose to transport grain by sea." ”

"Oh?" Xia Nan is not clear about the internal system of the Ming army, although Wei Lianheng is only a hundred households, but he is the person who knows the system and operation of the Ming army best, this opinion must be taken seriously, "But the officers and soldiers know that our ships are strong and the guns are strong, how can they still take the sea route?" ”

"The speed of the sea route is much faster than the land route, which can solve the urgent needs of the army. The officers and soldiers had no other choice, and if they didn't want to retreat, they had to give it a go. ”

"If we take the sea route, we can send warships to wait and sink the grain ships." Lin Weiye proposed.

Wei Lianheng shook his head: "It is not only Lingao that can land on the shore, but also Chengmai." I don't know where the grain ship will dock from, and there is no way to talk about waiting for the rabbit. If Qiongzhou Mansion wants to take the sea route, it can only rely on the sailors of Qiongya's general Tang Yunwen, as long as they attack Baisha Water Village, destroy all the ships of the sailors, and draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, the sea road will be cut off. ”

In the camp of the Ming army, He Rubin thought about it again and again, and finally made up his mind: "At present, it is too late to transport grain by land, and the thieves can cut off my grain route once, and they can also cut it off a second time, so they can only transport grain by sea." ”

A staff member reminded: "The thief sailor is powerful, I'm afraid it won't be as good as I want!" It's better to return to Qiongshan and then make a calculation. ”

He Rubin sighed: "Our army came with the strength of the whole province, but it did not make an inch, but it damaged the men and horses, if you retreat here, what is the difference between defeat and retreat?" How can I explain to the imperial court and the platform? I can only resign myself to fate, and I just hope that the thieves will not know that our army is transporting grain from the sea. ”

He turned his head and asked Tang Yunwen, the general of Qiongya: "Can you be sure that the water master will transport grain from Qiongshan?" ”

Tang Yunwen didn't dare to say "I'm not sure", so he had to say: "I should do my best, but the cost of repairing the ships under the command of the lowly generals over the years has never been enough, and there are not many ships available......

"There are still merchant ships and fishing boats requisitioned by our army from Guangzhou in Qiongshan, and you can call them all."

"Yes", Tang Yunwen said, "Please give the order arrow to Zhentai immediately, and the humble general will immediately send someone back to handle it." ”

He Rubin said: "No, you go back to handle it in person." Give you ten days, and the grain and grass will be delivered, otherwise you will blame the town for naming Yan Shen. ”

"Yes, the humble general will not be dishonored!" Tang Yunwen responded, but he was worried. Although it is not impossible to supply grain by sea, it is uncertain whether it can be supplied within 10 days, and once the officers and troops are defeated, their failure to supply grain on time will become one of the excuses for He Rubin to shirk his responsibility, and he will not be able to argue at that time.

That night, Tang Yunwen took a few of his relatives to quietly get on a fishing boat, stepped out of Chengcheng to the sea at night, and quietly left to Qiongshan.

Two days later, William led a fleet that had made great achievements to Qiongshan, and it was Wei Lianheng who led the way. Led by this local native, the fleet headed straight for Qiongshan County along the coastline.

Because He Rubin only gave a ten-day deadline, as soon as Tang Yunwen arrived at the station, he hurriedly transferred out the only ten old ships in the water village, and then ordered someone to go to Qiongshan Wharf with an arrow to mobilize the sealed ships, just waiting for the grain to arrive, and quickly set off for transportation - the staff of the General Army in Qiongshan County prepared the corresponding matters of grain and grass, and he was only responsible for transporting grain.

In a hurry, we finally packed 60,000 catties of urgently raised grain within three days. Tongzhi Zhao Yue grabbed his hand and cried with a sad face: "General Tang has to transport this batch of grain and grass safely!" If Zhentai comes like this again, Qiongshan won't be able to raise food for three feet from the ground, and Lord Futai and we will have to hang ourselves! ”

Tang Yunwen is a local garrison, and he knows that it is not easy to raise grain in the southern part of Qiongzhou Mansion, so he can only make promises at the moment, and repeatedly promise that he will deliver grain and grass.

The convoy of grain was about to depart, but several tall boats appeared on the surface of the sea a few miles away, and some sharp-eyed fishermen noticed it and shouted and screamed.

When Tang Yunwen saw it, his heart was terrible, whether it was a local sailor or a Guangzhou sailor, there was no such large ship, and it was most likely a warship of the Bofu thief. He was about to ask the chief soldier staff who supervised the grain and grass, but found that the staff member was shaking his body and talking to himself with trembling teeth: "...... Oops, this ...... It's a thief's ship......"

Tang Yunwen was about to ask for details carefully, but this person picked up his robe and turned his head and ran, as if he had seen some demons and monsters.

This staff member has seen with his own eyes the power of the guns of these big ships, it is really like a landslide and the ground is cracking, and the cannons weigh dozens of pounds, if they are still standing on the dock stupidly, they will not even have a whole corpse after being hit by a shot.

This is the fleet led by William, who originally wanted to rush to Baisha Water Village, where Tang Yunwen was stationed, but he unexpectedly found a large number of ships gathering and loading goods when passing by Qiongshan Port. Although Wei Lianheng couldn't see clearly, he guessed that it must be loaded with grain, and suggested that William directly attack the dock.

On the wharf, Tang Yunwen was in a dilemma: he fled, left the grain ship here, delayed the ten-day deadline for transporting grain, and He Zhentai would not give himself a way to live; Staying here, relying on a few broken ships of the sailors, it is impossible to resist the thieves who are known as sharp guns. Walking is a dead end, not walking is still a dead end, he stood on the dock, hesitating. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
