Chapter 660: The Fisherman
Under the command of Yang Congxian, more than a dozen warships outflanked left and right to protect the main ship.
Wang Ju said again: "General Yang ordered another ten ships to be transferred to the left and right to collide with the enemy ships. ”
In short, Wang Ju has watched the battle until now, and he has seen that there are some problems with everyone. If Liu Renliang is here, no matter which side he stands on, he can abuse the other party out of Xiang.
However, compared with Li Changjie, Yang Congxian's command ability is weaker.
After all, compared with the two, their own side is more prepared, and their strength is stronger than their opponents in all aspects, but they fight like this. And nearly thirty battleships burned together, and when the battleships burned, they burned, and Guan Jian died a large number of soldiers. Even Wang Ju estimated that the casualty ratio of the two sides was 1:15 so far. That is, the Jiaozhi people were spelled out, and the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were also spelled out. Battleship losses can't be counted, is this also called a battleship?
Wang Ju was anxious and took over the command.
However, at this time, he faintly regretted it, he didn't expect Li Changjie to be so well prepared, he knew that this was the case, and brought the thunderbolt over, the lethality on the ship was not as good as that on the shore, but once it exploded, the sparks that burst out could ignite the flammable materials in the cabin, instead of burning the bow of the ship like now.
Seeing the Song army rushing towards the main ship, the warships in Jiaozhi also spontaneously leaned over to cover the main ship.
More and more small boats surrounded the main ship where Wang Ju was, so that the warships protected by the perimeter were burned one after another.
Yang Cong was a little discolored at first.
Wang Ju said in his heart that it is no wonder that when Guo Kui went south, the naval army led by Yang Congxian and He Bin was blocked in Dongliang Port and could not enter the river. Thankfully, it was a quiet day. If the wind and waves are a little stronger. Maybe it's going to make a big joke.
The situation is deteriorating on both sides.
Wang Ju's main ship was protected in the middle. It won't burn for a while and a half, but there are some deadly water-based and good Jiaozhi soldiers who went into the water with axes and tried to chisel through Wang Ju's ship.
Someone succeeded, and the soldiers below came up to report that they heard a noise at the bottom of the boat.
Yang Congxian had no choice but to give the order to let some soldiers with good water skills go into the water and fight them underwater.
However, more soldiers in Jiaozhi took the initiative to jump into the water and tried to sink Wang Ju's ship. The hatred of the people of Yongzhou is great. The same is true for Jiaozhi, last year, let Wang Ju do this, how many families died. It's just that they don't know that Wang Ju is on this ship, otherwise their courage is even stronger.
"General Yang, don't be nervous, they can't sink this ship." Wang Ju said.
The quality of these battleships was no less bad, with a double bottom, a layer chiseled through, and another layer. And each layer is thick, where it will be easy to chisel through. It is to chisel through both layers. There are also individual sealed cabins. By the time the ship is in danger, the battle is about to be won.
He finished. Look at the other side.
His ships were surrounded, and they couldn't go up at speed. However, the other two groups of ships rushed towards the main ship of Cochin at a rapid speed, which should have been crashed. The slightly larger ship was immediately knocked off course, and the smaller cochin boat was directly crushed.
"It's flooded," another soldier shouted.
Wang Ju was stunned, did he really let them chisel through?
However, the situation took a turn for the worse at this point, and a large ship was already leaning against the main ship of Jiaozhi, and the soldiers on the ship threw out the hooks, tied the two ships together, and then grabbed the rope and jumped onto the main ship. Seeing the danger of the main ship, more Cochin ships quickly approached to support.
A super scuffle, fought over there.
Wang Ju couldn't see clearly with his binoculars, but he could only see the ships twisted together, and the soldiers on both sides not only fought on their own ships, but also crossed to other ships from time to time to fight.
However, Wang Ju's expression was very calm.
It may be that Jiaozhi is a mourning army, but the equipment is too backward, Wang Ju actually saw that there are many weapons used by soldiers, and they are actually weapons prepared for the natives. The two are not equipped on the same level.
Moreover, many soldiers in Cochin are newly recruited, and priority is given to good water quality, and there are very few soldiers who have gone through actual combat.
Sure enough, not long after, Wang Ju saw dozens of Song soldiers in the telescope holding their knives around the necks of several people wearing purple or red cross-toed official uniforms, and slowly retreated to the original ship. The other Cochin soldiers did not dare to move, so they watched as the ship went on a rampage and retreated.
Wang Ju said: "General Yang, give the order to let the soldiers on that ship tie those high-ranking officials to the mast. ”
"Whoa." Yang Congxian also said happily.
"Sail the boat over again." Wang Ju said again.
Li Changjie and several of the main generals of Jiaozhi were arrested together, lost their commander-in-chief, and the remaining ships of Jiaozhi quickly collapsed.
"Chase!" Wang Ju said again.
Not desperate, but fleeing, these Jiaozhi people ended up very miserable, although the ship was small and flexible, but the speed of the ship could not keep up, ninety percent of the ships were caught up one after another, one by one annihilated.
The war is coming to an end.
Wei Sheng came over with Zhu Tingguang, Miao Lu, and Yao Xiong in a small boat.
"I'll leave it to you over there." Wang Ju said that the reason why he came on the boat was just to boost everyone's morale. Fortunately, he got on the ship in time, otherwise today, under the command of Yang Congxian, even if he wins, it will be a miserable victory. But Wang Ju didn't show his merits, he didn't need to embellish his exploits anymore, and Yang Congxian had at least hard work, if it weren't for Yang Congxian's training with an army of 20,000 troops, today's water battle would be a one-sided battle, relying only on the little strength overseas, there would be no chance of victory.
"Shaobao, please rest assured."
Wang Ju turned his head to look at Li Changjie and the others who were tied up, and said in disgust: "All the captured prisoners of war will be killed, and these people will be escorted and go back with me." ”
With Li Changjie and others, Wang Ju went ashore from Qinzhou Port by boat, and escorted Li Changjie to Yongzhou, where he was left to the people, so almost in the blink of an eye, Li Changjie and others let the people of Yongzhou tear them apart, and some people even ate their flesh raw.
It's too cruel, looking at a common person with bloody pieces of flesh hanging on his mouth, even though Wang Ju has gone through so many battles, he almost vomited.
However, he still gave a sober order to let the soldiers snatch the heads of several people, otherwise even the heads would be torn apart by the resentful people. Then put these heads into a box, spread lime, and wrote about the battle. Exactly why the fight is not said. I only talked about the beating. Anyway, after this battle, almost all of the nearly 30,000 naval troops in Jiaozhi were annihilated. and the identities of these heads and their owners, explained them one by one, and sent them to the capital.
"Shaobao, the people of Yongzhou have finally redressed their grievances." Tao Bi said, he was full of emotion in his heart, if it weren't for Wang Ju coming, this culprit would probably be at large for the rest of his life.
However, Wang Ju and Lu Herang did not speak.
Don't take it seriously.
The truth is that the state is weak. You will be bullied.
If it was as powerful as the early Tang Dynasty, even if the nomads on the steppes were killed and their wives were scattered, no one would seek justice for them. If it is as weak as the Jin Dynasty, even if the five Hu are chaotic and the lives of the people of the Central Plains are devastated, they will take these Hu people without any trouble.
Or is it like the fate that is about to be faced, and there is that country and that army to seek justice for them?
If you want justice and truth, the key is whether you are strong or not!
Huang Hua changed the topic in time. said: "Tao Gong, Shao Bao is here." It is inevitable to redress the grievances of the people of Yongzhou. This is all secondary, mainly because Li Changjie was killed, and Jiaozhi is missing an important general, a general who really understands military affairs. ”
"This is indeed ......" Tao Bi said, he had already obtained from Wang Juzui's approximate battle experience, the Song army had such a big advantage, but as a result, more than forty ships were burned by Jiaozhi, resulting in the death of nearly three thousand officers and soldiers. This is the credit of Li Changjie.
Wang Ju continued to write the sparse music, and at this moment, many people cried outside.
Wang Ju put down his pen and walked out with Tao Bi, and saw many people crying and dancing.
Seeing Wang Ju coming out, many people knelt down and said, "Thank you Shaobao, thank you Shaobao." ”
Some people kowtow while weeping silently.
"Don't thank me, thank the Son of Heaven, it was the Son of Heaven who ordered me to come south to administer justice for you," Wang Juxu helped.
This is the smartest place for Wang Ju, the world is big, but in terms of credit, it is Zhao Ju's greatest ......
But the people didn't know it, so they looked to the north and wept bitterly, "O holy son of heaven." ”
In general, most of the officials of the Song Dynasty were not evil, as for the poverty of Guangnan, it was because it was already backward here, and it had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty, on the contrary, under the governance of the Song Dynasty, it was gradually getting better.
Okay, it's the Son of Heaven, Wang Ju smiled in his heart, and then said: "Let's disperse, this official still has official business to deal with." ”
As soon as they heard that Wang Ju was going to deal with official business, these people spontaneously dispersed.
But Wang Ju still underestimated the grief and sorrow in the hearts of the people, and that night, many people made lotus lanterns and put them in the water.
This is the soul of their loved ones......
Wang Ju looked at it silently and said to the guards beside him, "Don't disturb them, go back." ”
Then Wang Ju wrote a letter again, asking several guests to come to Yongzhou to meet, originally planned to gather in Guizhou to discuss, but the danger of the naval battle made Wang Ju not very relieved, and he was afraid that there would be another accident, so he personally sat in Yongzhou.
But in this way, he was still not very relieved, and then came to Langzhou and sat in Langzhou.
Wang Ju came to Langzhou, and Lu Cheng escaped to the side of the Great Wall to meet Wang Ju.
"It's hard work, Cai Sanfang."
"It's a little damn it," Lu Cheng slapped his mouth.
"Speak slowly," Wang Ju stopped him.
"Shaobao, the small one sneaked into the territory of Jiaozhi with the three parties, and the small one came up with a stupid idea."
"Huh?" Wang Ju was a little puzzled, because Lu Cheng did provide useful information, where did he come from a stupid idea?
Lu Cheng will pass through one by one.
When Wang Ju was leaving, he repeatedly instructed that the Jiaozhi people were very cunning and should not be underestimated, so after the surrender, what to ask and say, as long as some places were slightly highlighted, it would be enough to induce the enemy, but don't exaggerate or be high-profile, otherwise the enemy will be suspicious.
Therefore, Lu Cheng and Cai San discussed an idea, he sent it to the door first, let Jiaozhi catch and surrender, and then take Jiaozhi people to arrest Cai Sanfang, persuade Cai Sanfang to surrender on behalf of Jiaozhi, take advantage of Jiaozhi's unpreparedness, let Cai Sanfang "assassinate" Lu Cheng, and then escape, so that Jiaozhi will believe in Lu Cheng more.
It's very simple to say, but it's not easy to succeed in execution, but it really made them successful, and then Lu Cheng prepared good wine and food, entertained Cai Sanfang, and persuaded him to surrender...... Cai Sanfang took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Jiaozhi people and stabbed Lu Cheng in the leg, and then fled back, and it was not until a while later that Lu Cheng screamed loudly.
Originally, this plan was still good, but I didn't expect Cai Sanfang to not escape, and was caught back by the Jiaozhi people.
The two of them took it to Shenglong Mansion together, and on the way, Cai Sanfang knew that he would definitely die, so he found an opportunity to say, you pretend to be hateful and beat me hard, otherwise Shaobao's business will not be done.
As a result, Lu Cheng was trusted by Jiaozhi, but Cai Sanfang was beaten to death. It wasn't until Lu Chenglin left that he sent a piece of arsenic to the cell.
Wang Ju was also a little sad when he heard this, in fact, there was no need to do this, not only them, Wang Ju also had another arrangement, to spy on the news of Jiaozhi. This is really an unnecessary sacrifice. But what can he blame, after a long time, he sighed: "Don't be sad, this official will treat his family well." ”
What else can be said? Then he ordered his subordinates to arrange for Lu Cheng to go down to rest.
The frenzied sweep on the other side has started again, but it is completely different from last year.
The location of the sweep was changed, and the southern road started from Dili, Maling, and Buzheng, and the northern road started from Yong'an Prefecture. That is, the area swept this time may affect the entire country of Cochin, and it will also make all the preparations made in advance on both sides of the Fuliang River useless.
The number of people swept is far more than last year, almost close to one million. This is still at Yanda's request, many people were spared, and some people fled, otherwise there would be even more. After the two torrents came down from the various boats, even the people of Champa were stunned.
And this time the sweeping army carried nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty, so it no longer only swept the countryside, but even the cities began to attack.
At least at the beginning, they were all small cities, and they were all conquered one by one.
And Cochin organized several waves of armies, which were also quickly defeated.
Many people flocked to the Great Wall, especially those in Sumaozhou, who had been driven out, lying under the Great Wall one by one, crying bitterly and begging for mercy. However, no matter how much they begged for mercy, the guards on the Great Wall would not let them cross the Wall.
So many people fled to the west, and the northwest was the vast mountainous area, but this area was not very loyal to Jiaozhi, and Wang Ju also sent a messenger to inform them that they were not allowed to accept refugees, and I would not use troops against you.
These tribes were also stupefied by this madness, and they were all submissive. When they refused, the refugees had no choice but to go further west, leaving Wang Ju alone. The west is not Dali, but two huge races sandwiched between Dali and Zhenla, the cow roar and the wailing prison.
It's not a good thing, you can solve it yourself.
Wang Ju was paying attention to Langzhou while waiting for news from the imperial court, because Tao Bi had "impeached" him again, and his focus was no longer on Jiaozhi. At this moment, he received a message from the front, saying that after the people swept the three prefectures of Dili, Maling, and Buzheng, they gradually moved to the north, followed by Yi'an Road, Yanzhou Road, and Qinghua Road, and then arrived at Chang'an Road.
After the huge sweeping team left Yi'an Road, it began to sweep towards Yanzhou Road. But when the city came, it sent people and troops to slowly enter the three prefectures of Dili, Maling, and Buzheng. These three states did belong to Champa, but after seeing that the Song army did not move, Champa slowly moved the army and people northward and marched towards Yi'an Road. Dare to love Wang Ju is being a butcher, but the people of Zhancheng are coming to be fishermen...... (To be continued......)
