Volume 3 Chapter 232 The Fight Begins (4)

"It's on fire!!"

In the middle of the night, in the shallows, the big ships that were scrambling to board by the miscellaneous forces of the three clans were on fire almost at the same time. www.biquge.info In addition to being fast and fierce, the fire immediately lit up a small area of sea around the shoal.

The three-clan alliance army who rushed here is not a brainless fool, how can they not know that they have been tricked when they see this situation? But seriously, there are not many people who abandon horses and wade into the water and then board the big boat, after all, there are few people on horseback who know how to know water, and there are even fewer people who have worked in Chrysanthemum Harbor and know how to sail.

Therefore, when the big ship caught fire, except for a few people who did not have time to escape from the cabin of the big ship, the vast majority of people still stopped their horses here in the shallows, and then cursed at the blazing fire in the shallows. Perhaps in their opinion, Lu Ren's soldiers and horses will only play these conspiracies and tricks, but they don't have the courage to face them face to face, and they are not warriors at all.

But in the midst of their cursing, someone suddenly noticed that a series of fires seemed to flicker on the surface of the sea about a few hundred paces away from them. But before they could react, a series of fireballs were flying towards them in the sky, accompanied by a constant whistling sound.

"It's an artillery battleship in Yizhou! We've been tricked!! ”

With such a shout from the alliance of the three clans, the crowd of people on the shallows was in chaos. From Jinzhou to Chrysanthemum Harbor, the battle between the three clan coalition forces and Lu Ren's troops was not less, so they were all afraid of the powerful power of Yizhou's artillery. Now that you suddenly see these life-threatening fireballs, how can you not be chaotic?

The night was dark and windy, and the visibility range was limited, so they had not been able to spot the gunboats that were a little farther away from the sea. And the fire ignited by the "stranded" big ship was actually providing the coordinates of the shelling of these gunboats in the dark night.

Well, let's not talk about it, in short, after a random bombardment, the three-clan coalition army that rushed to hear the news threw down hundreds of corpses and fled here. This is also their bad luck, in fact, the gunboat did not fire a few rounds, and if it was a normal situation, it would not have killed so many people. The reason for these hundreds of casualties was that after these people rushed to hear the news, they all wanted to go to the big ship to "make a fortune", and as a result, the crowd gathered too densely......

On the lookout of a gunboat, Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang were holding binoculars to see the situation on the other side. Sun Shangxiang was naturally overjoyed when he saw that he had made some gains, and Zhou Yu pondered something after putting down the binoculars.

"Brother Zhong, what are you thinking?"

Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Sun Shangxiang, and smiled coldly: "I'm too greedy." ”

Sun Shangxiang is not: "Greedy? Greedy for what? ”

Zhou Yu pointed to the still blazing beach over there: "I mean, these people from the Three Clans Alliance are too greedy. In fact, how many people can be carried in the bait boat we sent? Even if it's fully loaded, it's only more than a thousand. If we were to send troops to intercept us and prevent us from landing, two thousand horsemen would have been enough, but judging from the light of the fire and the sound of hooves just now, they had at least four thousand horsemen. The most important thing is that the news we sent out was that even the soldiers and horses and the people were running away at night, and they were all cavalry, and if they were chasing people, they could completely catch up, but Shang Xiang, have you seen any of them go after them? ”

Sun Shangxiang shook his head: "It seems that there really isn't." ”

Zhou Yu said: "Therefore, they are all eyeing the 'money and grain' that the big ship has no time to transport." And Shang Xiang, have you noticed that these people are obviously divided into several camps, and some of them have also grabbed the boat, and none of the people from the several camps have divided their men to pursue. Shangxiang: Why do you say that's happening? ”

Sun Shangxiang is not stupid, and he has seen a lot of the world over the years, so he immediately reacted: "Does Brother Zhong mean that several camps do not divide people to pursue, they are all afraid that the people who grabbed the boat on their side will have no helper because they are alone when they share the spoils, and as a result, the things that come to hand will also be robbed by people from other camps?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "The coalition is powerful, but the heart is mixed. This invasion of western Liaoning was intended for profit, but there was no grand intention. To put it bluntly, it is to see the danger and not move forward, and to forget the life when you see the near benefits. And such a person is too easy to be tempted by the immediate profits. ”

Sun Shangxiang said: "Then Brother Zhong, what do you want to say?" ”

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Shangxiang again and said with a smile: "I have already found out that Lu Yizhou has the intention of gathering and annihilating the invading enemy in Liaoxi, but if you want to gather and annihilate it, you have to consider whether the invading enemy will retreat halfway." According to my speculation, Lu Yizhou gave up this year's autumn grain in Liaoxi, intending to use these autumn grains to attract the three clan alliance forces to be reluctant to return, and I decided to come to such a small battle tonight to see if the heart of the three clan alliance army is greedy enough. Because only if they are greedy enough, they will be dragged in Liaoxi by the money and food deliberately left by Lu Yizhou, but if they are not so greedy......"

At this point, Zhou Yu shook his head, and Sun Shangxiang was thoughtful.

Yizhou, Mangjia.

In the early morning, Lu Ren, who had just woken up not long ago, was eating breakfast when someone sent a telegram to Lu Ren. And after reading it, Lu Ren shook his head: "This Zhou Yu, it's only been a few days since I got there, I started to defeat my things, and the feelings are not their Jiangdong's, he doesn't feel pain, right?" ”

It didn't take long for Xun Yu to arrive, and this telegram also reached Xun Yu's hands, and Xun Yu said to Lu Ren after reading it: "In fact, I didn't defeat a few ships. Yoshiho, you have a lot of money, you won't be reluctant to give up these dilapidated ships, right? ”

Lu Ren smiled. In fact, when Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang asked Deng Ai for a boat, Deng Ai called and asked Lu Ren what he meant, and Lu Ren asked Deng Ai to transfer the old ships left in the dock on Chrysanthemum Island to Zhou Yu and Sun Shangxiang. These old boats are old boats from more than ten years ago in Yizhou, if they are put in Yizhou, no one can look at them, and even resell them to fishermen as fishing boats at a low price, and fishermen will consider whether they are worth buying. To put it mildly, the cost of driving these ships back from Liaoxi may be enough. Therefore, these ships were originally intended to be used as target ships for naval training in western Liaoning, but they sank and that's it.

Xun Yu here looked at the telegram in his hand again, and then nodded to Lu Ren and said: "It seems that this Jiangdong Mei Zhoulang is indeed worthy of his reputation, and it is not unjust that Meng De will lose in his hands at the beginning." Yi Hao, if nothing else, I think our intentions for the Three Clans Alliance Army should have been tested by Zhou Yu, and his battle last night should be a test for him of the Three Clans Alliance. ”

Lu Ren said: "I don't care much about these, it's been two months now, our preparations have been completed, and these big fish that have entered the set, shouldn't we also close the net?" ”

Xun Yu nodded: "It's time to close the net." It won't be long before heavy snow falls in Liaoxi, and the guys who invaded Liaoxi in the past have suffered the loss of being blocked by the heavy snow, if they are afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past and retreat to Mobei before the heavy snowfall, then our arrangement will be in vain. ”

Lu Ren also nodded: "Go to the call, let Lu Yatou and Old Man Chen do it." ”

Liaoxi, Jinzhou City.

At this moment, Chen Gong was looking at the coalition military camp outside the city from the tower of the city gate, and while sneering, he was holding a small teapot in his hand, and poured a few sips of hot tea into his mouth from time to time. This teapot is actually very small, and it is the kind of purple clay pot that can be played with in the palm of his hand in modern society, but it is a gift that Lu Ren picked out from the boutique after the whole purple sand process and gave it to Chen Gong, and Chen Gong has always loved it. Cultural people, especially people like Chen Gong, who are good at tea and are old, really like this mouthful.

Footsteps sounded, but it was Lu Lingqi who rushed to Chen Gong's side, and a telegram was also handed to Chen Gong's hand, Chen Gong nodded after reading it, and looked at the coalition camp outside the city. As soon as I raised my hand to pour another sip of hot tea, I realized that the pot was empty. When he turned around, he saw that Lu Lingqi had already brought the hot water bottle over, and was waiting to refill the tea for Chen Gong.

Chen Gong smiled: "Lu girl, you are like this, the old man can't stand it!" ”

Lu Lingqi also smiled: "Uncle Chen is my elder, what can I not stand it?" And now we are besieged in Huzhou, which reminds me of the old story when my father was besieged in Xiapi by Cao Gui. At that time, if my uncompetitive father could listen to Uncle Chen's good strategy, he might not end up in defeat and death, and now this scene seems to be repeated, I don't want to end up like my father. ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Lu girl, you have said it, today's Jinzhou is fundamentally different from the original Xiapi. ”

Lu Lingqi said: "So what? I can be proud of my courage when I charge into battle, but I really can't do this strategy. My father died in his stubbornness, and I should take it as a warning. ”

Chen Gong couldn't help but sigh at this time: "Yes, if Feng Xian could be like you, not only would he not necessarily be defeated and killed, but it would not even be impossible to achieve some feats." ”

Lu Lingqi shook her head at this time: "Don't talk about this." Uncle Chen, the lord ordered us to start fighting back at the right time, when do you think we will start fighting? ”

When she said this, although Lu Lingqi had a smile on her face, anyone could see that there was a bit of urgency in her expression.

Chen Gong can also be said to have watched Lu Lingqi grow up since childhood, and when he saw Lu Lingqi's expression, he knew what Lu Lingqi was thinking, and then smiled again: "Lu girl, do you have itchy hands?" ”

Lu Lingqi smiled embarrassedly: "I can't hide anything from your Uncle Gongtai." ”

Chen Gong also smiled, and after a moment of silence, he nodded: "Actually, it's almost there, but we have been defending for so long, and the soldiers in the city are a little tired, so we have to refresh them first...... Lingqi, you take 3,000 horsemen out of the city to go around, but you have to remember that after winning a small victory or gaining some upper hand, you can calmly return to the city, and you must not be greedy for merit! As soon as the gong sounds, you'll have to give me a return to the city anyway!" ”

Lu Lingqi was secretly happy in her heart, and said solemnly on her face: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"Go ahead!"

After a short time, the city gate of Beiping on the right opened, and Lu Lingqi led three thousand elite horsemen out of the city to challenge. It was only after the soldiers on Lu Lingqi's side shouted and scolded for a long time that thousands of people ran out of the coalition camp opposite. I don't know if these guys have been besieging the city but have no results, and Jinzhou City never took the initiative to attack, which made them burn out, or if they robbed too many good things here in Liaoxi during this time, and as a result, they were lazy. Seeing such a situation, Lu Lingqi said in her heart that if it weren't for Chen Gong's words first, I would have to rush into your camp with my men and horses to kill them.

Looking at the other party's men and horses out of the camp to fight, Lu Lingqi was really too lazy to say anything:

"Soldiers, I am invincible, kill!!"

After a shout, the halberd in his hand was raised, and he took the lead in rushing towards the thousands of coalition troops on the opposite side. Seeing Lu Lingqi like this, the three thousand elite horsemen also followed closely behind Lu Lingqi.

At the next moment, the halberd in Lu Lingqi's hand pointed to the direction of the three thousand Yizhou elite cavalry. What is Fast as the Wind? What is Thunderbolt? At this moment, Lu Lingqi and the three thousand Yizhou Jingqi are using their own actions to interpret these words! But seeing where the Yizhou elite cavalry passed, they killed the soldiers of the three clans on their backs, crying for their fathers and mothers. It is like Lu Lingqi, who has always been at the forefront, although she is a woman, but under her halberd, there is almost no one who can be combined!

To tell the truth, the cavalry units in Jinzhou City, from Lu Lingqi to ordinary soldiers, have not fought since they returned from fighting in Liaodong last year. If it is said that during this period of time, the wife was peaceful and there was no war, but the problem is that at this time, hundreds of thousands of three-clan coalition troops came to Liaoxi.

Out of consideration for the overall situation, Chen Gong would never be able to fight hard with the army of the alliance of the three clans before the time came, so he adopted the strategy of defending the city and waiting for the opportunity. In the face of the enemy's initial siege, he has always used the strong city defense of Jinzhou City to harm and fatigue the enemy.

From a tactical point of view, Chen Gong's decision was very correct. It's just that under this premise, the battles in Jinzhou City during this period were all fought by infantry, and the Yizhou cavalry troops could only stare dryly...... It didn't get to the point where the whole army had to go to the city to fight, of course Chen Gong wouldn't let the cavalry dismount and go to the city to fight if he was full.

So so, watching the infantry fight so happily, the cavalry who have no part of themselves are really suffocated. This is Liaoxi, it is said that it should be the world of cavalry, can you not feel aggrieved? And now that they are finally able to go out of the city to start a war, why don't they all show their might, and make a good breath of sullen breath that has been holding in their hearts?

He didn't say a word, just said that on the battlefield at this time, the battle situation was completely on the side of Lu Lingqi, although there were more cavalry of the thousands of coalition forces, but they were beaten by Lu Lingqi and the fine cavalry only to parry, and had no power to fight back. Then I heard the war drums rumbling at the head of Jinzhou City, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky. It was like a cavalry soldier who had never fought but was qualified to go up to the city wall to watch the battle, and one by one shouted more vigorously than anyone else, wishing that he could also go down to the city to rush and kill......
