The "tick-tick" sound of the telegraph continues. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Lingqi: "Xiaoyu, don't save the cannonball on your side!" ”

It is true that it cannot be saved. Zhao Yu's forty warships are mainly responsible for artillery support for Chrysanthemum Harbor, according to the range of artillery fire, it can basically cover the three directions of Chrysanthemum Harbor Town, in other words, it can make Budugen unable to encircle Chrysanthemum Town on all sides, and the 10,000 or so people stationed in the town can only arrange a small number of troops to defend the three directions covered by artillery fire, and then concentrate the main forces in one direction.

This is a city defense operation, and the strength of Chrysanthemum Port against Budugen is one to four compared to Dagen. According to the general offensive and defensive examples, if Budugen completes the encirclement of Chrysanthemum Port on all sides, then the defenders in Chrysanthemum Town have to evenly distribute their forces in four directions, and the forces that are already at a disadvantage are scattered.

And the high-intensity artillery coverage of Zhao Yu's fleet for several days is to make Bu Dugen unable to encircle Chrysanthemum Town, so he can only concentrate the main forces in one direction, and Lu Lingqi and Murong Ziying in the city can also concentrate about half of the forces in the city in this direction to carry out targeted defense against Bu Dugen.

I have to explain it here by the way. The basic soldiers of Chrysanthemum Port are Murong Ziying's 7,000, but before the three battles at Juyong Pass were fought and the thousands of war horses were fetched, the actual number of cavalry was only about 3,000, and the other 4,000 or so people took the training path of Yizhou infantry, who was responsible for city defense in peacetime.

Later, Lu Lingqi arrived, and Lu Ren transferred 3,000 regular infantry from Yizhou to Lu Lingqi's background, and at this time, the garrison strength of Chrysanthemum Town exceeded 10,000, and Murong Ziying's war horse was not long in hand, and the cavalry training was not completed so quickly, so these 4,000 people were still mainly based on the combat mode of infantry. In other words, the actual infantry participating in the battle in Chrysanthemum Town at this moment is about 7,000.

As for the three thousand cavalry, neither Lu Lingqi nor Murong Ziying dared to call it easily, because the situation on the battlefield often changed when it was said, and if something happened, it was likely that these three thousand cavalry would be needed to complete some tasks that required high mobility ability, but don't have no soldiers on hand when you get it.

In general, the current battle is in a stalemate period, Bu Dugen can't take Chrysanthemum Harbor, and Lu Lingqi and they don't have the conditions and corresponding opportunities to completely defeat Bu Dugen. At this time, it is a battle of patience and steadiness, which side can hold on until the other side has a fatal loophole, then which side can win.

Let's look at the telegram between Lu Lingqi and Zhao Yu:

“…… Xiaoyu, I think we have been going on like this I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army, because the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is becoming more and more unfavorable for siege operations, and if Budugen has not been able to succeed, he can only choose to retreat, otherwise he will have to freeze to death and starve here, so Budugen will become more and more urgent, and the offensive in the past few days will become more and more fierce and more and more deadly. This is obviously trying to fight, and if you get it, of course, it's the best, and if you can't fight, you will go back as soon as possible. It's just Xiaoyu, our purpose is not simply to defend Chrysanthemum Harbor, you should understand what Uncle Lu means. ”

Zhao Yu replied: "Of course I understand." ”

It's not that hard to keep Chrysanthemum Harbor. In fact, Lu Lingqi and they don't have full firepower at all, if they really just want to beat Budugen back, Tian Chou is in Youbeiping, Zhang Xiu's father and son are on Jeju Island, and Deng Ai and Gan Ning's Liaodong Combat Corps are also resting in the Sanhan area at this time. Counting factors such as weapons and equipment, combat training, and logistical support, I am afraid that as soon as Bu Dugen saw the gathering of troops of the Yizhou Legion, he would immediately run away in disgrace.

But that's not what Lu Ren wants to see. Budu itself has a cooperative relationship with the Liaodong side, and it can be regarded as the minions and wings of the Liaodong side, if Lu Ren reinforces Liaodong when he is fighting against Liaodong and cooperates with some combat operations on the Liaodong side, it will definitely be a big trouble for Lu Ren here.

Now this guy took the initiative to attack Chrysanthemum Harbor, which was undesirable for Lu Ren, and strategists like Xun Yu also said that this was a good opportunity, and they must use all aspects of the conditions to contain Budugen in Chrysanthemum Harbor, not only to cut off a few pieces of meat from Budugen's body. If certain conditions can be met, you should even eat the step root.

If you can really eat the root of Budu, it can not only have a favorable impact on the next battle against Liaodong, but also cause a great shock to the various Xianbei tribes in the Liangliao and Fuyu areas. At that time, it will be more convenient for Tuoba Yu to recruit these Xianbei tribes.

And this is why Lu Lingqi has been fighting here in Chrysanthemum Port for several days, but the rest of the departments did not come to reinforce Chrysanthemum Port immediately, and their fundamental purpose is to firmly attract Budugen to Chrysanthemum Port. As soon as this large army comes, won't Budugen run away?

The "tick-tick" of the telegraph continued:

“…… Lingqi, I calculated the time, it should be in the next few days, and our Yizhou transport fleet will arrive. I want to use this batch of fleets as bait, and I'll have a big one, I don't know if you have any ideas? ”

Lu Lingqi was overjoyed: "I also have this kind of thought. But I'm not as good as you when playing tricks, you can talk about your thoughts first! ”

Zhao Yu's send button knocked wildly, and after telling like this, Lu Lingqi expressed her approval: "It's similar to what I thought, but Xiaoyu, your ideas are much more comprehensive than I imagined." Okay, I'll listen to you. It's just that now that the enemy army is outside, and it is inconvenient for me to go out of the city, then it is up to you to contact the fleet. Hmph, I'm afraid Bu Dugen never dreamed that although we were separated by them, we could still communicate with each other, and this telegraph machine made by Uncle Lu and Sister Xue was really an artifact! ”

The Art of War: Military struggle is for profit, and there is no profit and no profit.

Why would Bu Dugen want to knock down Chrysanthemum Harbor so desperately? According to the careful analysis of Lu Ren and others, the reason must be due to the grain and grass of the Budugen army. It is not long after the beginning of the harsh winter, the north is already snowflakes, the cattle and sheep on the grassland have no grass to eat, and according to the living habits of the northern nomads, they need food the most at this time.

The Chrysanthemum Port was the most important bridgehead in Lu Ren's quest to conquer the western Liaoning region, and in the past two or three years, a large amount of money, food, and military supplies had been accumulated to prepare for future combat operations in advance. Therefore, once Budugen took Chrysanthemum Port, it was equivalent to getting a large amount of money, food, and military supplies.

In addition, if the sea ships here in Chrysanthemum Harbor are captured, Bu Dugen can even use the transportation of these sea ships to avoid Xiongguan such as Shanhaiguan from the sea route and go straight to the North China Plain. As long as it is inserted, Budugen does not seek to attack the city, but only to plunder the land, rob all the things, and then take a boat to flash people...... This is Budugen's idea, but Budugen didn't think that his cavalry couldn't control the sea ships in Yizhou, but this was a problem of people's concepts and insights at that time, and it was not interesting to talk too much.

Based on this kind of thinking of Budugen, Zhao Yu has thought of something surprising and winning. Didn't Budugen want money, food, and military supplies? Then follow his thoughts.

A few days later, a large-scale logistics fleet from Yizhou appeared in the offshore area of Chrysanthemum Harbor. It's just that due to the fierce fighting in Chrysanthemum Harbor, the fleet can't unload the cargo normally, so it can only be two or three of them come closer, and then under the cover of the naval ships, the things on the ship are unloaded little by little, and under the cover of the troops from Chrysanthemum Town, these goods are barely sent to the town.

The fleet of more than 100 large and small ships can only dock and unload goods by five or six ships every day. In addition, the fleet has just completed the voyage, and the fresh water on the ships needs to be replenished, and the Chrysanthemum Port can not dock here because of the war, so the fleet sailed to the mouth of the big river in the southwest of the Chrysanthemum Port and docked there temporarily, and only five or six ships sailed to the Chrysanthemum Port Wharf every day to unload the goods.

Can this kind of thing not be noticed by the Xianbei cavalry? So soon, Budugen found out where this huge Yizhou logistics fleet was temporarily docked and replenished with fresh water. As Zhao Yu and Lu Lingqi expected, Bu Dugen is almost crazy when he wants money and food now, but Chrysanthemum Town has not been able to attack it, not to mention the benefits, but the people and horses have lost a lot, and the anger is very big. Now that I heard that there is such a huge fleet under my nose, where can I easily let it go? In fact, Budugen also has the idea of fighting the transport fleet.

Of course, Budugen can become a Xianbei adult, and it's not really that dish, so it's better to be careful where you should be careful. In order to prevent fraud, Budugen sent scouts to inquire about intelligence, and according to the scout's report, this fleet will choose to temporarily dock here at the mouth of the big river, mainly because the huge fleet has just completed the voyage, and the fresh water on each ship is basically exhausted, and it needs to be replenished in time. Once the fleet is replenished with fresh water, the fleet will choose other safer areas to dock.

Budugen received such a reward, and there was no doubt in his heart. Don't they all say, "If you keep interrupting, you will be in chaos"? If this rich fleet is allowed to calmly replenish fresh water and then sail elsewhere, then the step will not be good at all. So Bu Dugen immediately ordered to lead more than half of the Xianbei army to send troops at night, and be sure to arrive before the Yizhou logistics fleet finished replenishing fresh water, and then rob this fleet.

More than a hundred ships! Suppose a ship carries 10 tons of grain, 100 ships are more than 1,000 tons, which is more than 2.4 million Han catties when converted into Han catties. Budugen sent 50,000 troops this time, and once the looting was successful, it would be evenly distributed, and on average, each person could share more than a few dozen or hundreds of Han catties, which was almost a ration of about several months.

With such a large amount of money and food, who can not be tempted by it? In fact, the carrying capacity of the Yizhou fleet is definitely more than 1,000 tons, and the men and horses brought by Budugen to the Chrysanthemum Port area are no longer as many as 50,000 because of continuous battles. In other words, if this fleet is really snatched by Budugen, Budugen will make a fortune.

By the way, Lu Ren's Yizhou, its main voyage ships were built with reference to the large ships of the European Age of Discovery. The ships of the Age of Discovery, the more representative are the Spanish three-masted galleons, which in the middle of the Age of Discovery, can definitely carry more than 30 tons. According to the information at hand, a standard Spanish three-masted galleon can have a total deadweight of 150 to 200 tons.

In addition, if it is the legendary "Zheng He's treasure ship", it will be even more terrifying, with a load capacity of 3,000 tons! However, some sources seem to say that the "Zheng He Treasure Ship" is only the flagship ship in Zheng He's fleet, and the number is only a few, and the real main ship in Zheng He's fleet is the "Three Thousand Stone Ship". Converted to the past, 0.8 kilograms, 3,000 stone is 212,400 kilograms of nearly 220 tons! Every time he saw this, Lu Ren wanted to jump up and scold his mother. The hateful Ming Dynasty's policy of locking up the country! With the strength of the Ming Dynasty's sea ships during the Zheng He period, the Ming Dynasty was fully capable of colonizing the world!

It's far away, stop. And these are nothing more than saying that Lu Ren has put a lot of effort into the logistics supply of Yizhou to the Northern Army. In the past, four times a year, about 8,000 tons of grain each time was about 8,000 tons, that is, Yizhou could provide 32,000 tons of grain to the Northern Army in a year.

What is the concept of 32,000 tons of grain? That's 32 million kilograms, 64 million pounds. According to the daily ration of one pound of food for one person, it is enough for 100,000 people to eat for a long, long time.

Without further ado, it is only said that Bu Dugen personally led more than 10,000 horsemen to attack the logistics boat regiment of Yizhou at night, and almost after arriving at the ground, he saw the Yizhou ships on the coast from a distance, and many sailors were filling water into barrels at the mouth of the river and then transporting them to the ship, and even many sailors simply soaked in the water, and did not know whether they were bathing or playing in the water. Seeing this situation, the last doubt in Bu Dugen's heart was completely dispelled, and then an order was given, and more than 10,000 Xianbei cavalry roared together and rushed towards the Yizhou ships.

The sailors who were bathing and fetching water from the shore were so frightened that they ran away in a panic, and many of them dived directly into the water near the shore because they were too far away from the ship to escape back to the ship. When the Xianbei cavalry rushed closer, many people jumped off their horses and rushed onto the boat along the sampan of the ship on the shore, and the Xianbei cavalry who followed behind also rushed to the boat. Wuhu rangers have always been robbers, and now there are things to grab, who is willing to fall behind others, and in the end they can't even grab a fart?

There are about 30 ships docked along the coast, most of which are small and medium-sized sea vessels from Yizhou. This is mainly due to the fact that the draft of large ships in Yizhou is too deep, and if there is no dedicated dock, most of them will have to run aground as soon as they dock. Therefore, in the general situation of navigation, the docking supply is done by small and medium-sized ships.

Among the Xianbei cavalry, there were people who had been mixed in the docks of Chrysanthemum Harbor, and naturally mentioned it to Budugen, so Budugen did not doubt this, but just ordered those Xianbei cavalry who boarded the ship not to patronize and grab things, but to snatch the boat first, and then use the robbed ship to attack the big ships near the sea.

It was just that under this order, the Xianbei cavalry who boarded the ship suddenly exclaimed that there was no money or food on these ships, and the smell of sulfur wafted throughout the ship. Before Bu Dugen could react here, the thirty or so ships parked on the coast in Yizhou suddenly caught fire together. The flames immediately ignited the sulfur and other materials in the ship, followed by earth-shattering explosions one after another.

Bu Dugen knew the plan, and was just about to order the withdrawal of the army, when the shouts of the Yizhou soldiers in the four places were already loud. Not only on the ground, but also many Yizhou ships in the offshore sea also approached, and for a time the arrows and flying stones on the ship were like torrential rain. And the most fatal thing is that there are still twelve huge battleships that sprayed fireballs one after another from the side portholes, and as soon as these fireballs fell into the Xianbei cavalry, they immediately exploded, taking away the lives of the Xianbei cavalry in pieces!

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

With the shouts of the Xianbei cavalry, the Xianbei army was even more chaotic. After fighting for several days before, the Xianbei cavalry was afraid of the powerful power of Yizhou's artillery. Now that you suddenly see these life-threatening fireballs, how can you not be chaotic?
