Chapter 288: Fake Idiocy is Not Crazy, Layout Crushes Zhao Gou (Middle)
As soon as Wu Lan cut off Liu Yu's way back to the south, he could only take his soldiers and horses to the Ning Navy, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack Wu Lan to fight.
Liu Yu didn't dare to take the initiative to find Wu Luan, because he was self-aware. Although Wu Xuan was not as famous as Wu Jue, he was young and did not catch up with several major battles of the Western Army against Western Xia. But Wu Lu is young, just because he is young, Liu Yu does not dare to underestimate him.
Why didn't Liu Yu dare to underestimate Wu Luan? There are two main reasons: first, after Wu Lan was directly promoted to the commander by Liu Xing from a partial general on Jingyuan Road, he first led his troops all the way to the thousands, and then took Bianjing City with Liu Ziyu and Yang Yizhong.
What kind of manifestation is this? is clearly a young hero who dares to act and fight! In the face of such a young hero, Liu Yu, who knew that he was not scheming enough, did not dare to provoke him, how did he know if Wu Lan would be better than the blue and better than his brother!
Second, it is also because Wu Lu is a new talent of the Shaozhuang faction, Liu Yu did not dare to take the initiative to provoke Wu Luan, because Liu Yu saw that Liu Xing, the Taifu of the Northern Dynasty, was a young Zhuang faction, and almost all of the people he had recently helped to take the position were also Shaozhuang factions.
Judging from the achievements of young and cutting-edge young people such as Liu Jian and Liu Xi, who are said to be his brothers, to Yang Yizhong, Zeng Weijie, and then to Bi Jin, who is said to be only 16 years old, Liu Yu believes that Liu Xing will never be blind in looking at people, selecting people, and employing people.
With such a jealous heart, Liu Yu, who was not the material for leading troops to fight, naturally did not dare to take the initiative to provoke Wu Lan, who had already led troops to approach Ning's navy......
Liu Yu is timid, but Wu Lan is not timid.
As Liu Yu feared, Wu Xuan was young, but his resourcefulness and martial arts really didn't catch up with the good time to fight against Western Xia in the past. If you catch up. I'm afraid that he would have soared into the sky a long time ago, and his prestige was not much worse than that of his brother.
This kind of "youthful vigor" takes into account "both civil and military". Let Wu Lan start from leading the troops to Bianjing City, just like drinking stimulants. Along the way, he used countless tricks and tricks, and only then did he successfully kill all the way to the vicinity of Ning Haijun.
Such a Wu Lan, when his excitement was strong, as soon as he received Liu Xing's order to beat Liu Yu, his excitement directly reached the boiling point.
On the night when Liu Xing's order reached Wu Lan's hands, Liu Yu was still waiting for the Lin'an Imperial Court to reply to him and allow him to go to Lin'an to face the saint. Wu Xuan quietly sent 2,000 fire cavalry who had just been transferred to him from Shanxi to the Ning Navy, and swept away 12 military villages and docks in the southwest of the Ning Navy overnight with 2,000 fire cavalry.
As soon as he received a report, it was said that Wu Xuan had come to beat him. Liu Yu suddenly turned from burning his buttocks to firecrackers, hanging on his waist, and jumping with his son and two thousand soldiers ran to the sea.
Ning Haijun is his defensive ground, he doesn't organize troops to block Wu Lan's extremely sharp attack, why did he go to the sea?
The answer is very simple: there is a place on the shore of the Ning Navy that is the dock camp of the naval division, where more than 120 sea ships left over from the Song Huizong era are parked, and there are also 6,000 soldiers and horses of the Ning Sea Division.
After Liu Yu ran over, he immediately ordered the general of the naval division to hurry up and sail south with me, he wanted to no longer wait for Lin'an to give him an official document, and fled south directly......
If this person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth if he drinks some cold water. From the moment Liu Yu was appointed as the prefect of Jinan, he was actually in bad luck.
As soon as he ran to the naval division's barracks, he thought that with his authority as the governor of Jingdong Road, he could run back to Zhao Gou with one order with one hundred and twenty sea boats, six thousand officers and soldiers of the naval division, and his two thousand hometown soldiers. With at least 8,000 men and horses and 120 ships there, Liu Yu thought that Zhao Gou would not immediately ask for his head.
But his ideals are very full. The reality is very skinny.
He didn't expect that the general who was ordered to stay behind in the naval division secretly contacted Liang Xing directly through the rudder of the Zhongyi Society on the border of Shandong more than ten days ago. What he didn't expect was that when he arrived at the gate of the naval camp, the general actually heard his order and didn't say a word, and shot at him like a rain of flying arrows.
The sailor shot wildly, and in the blink of an eye, he shot three or four hundred of Liu Yu's two thousand disciples. This frightened him into a wild roar, and he could only lead his soldiers to turn around and run backwards.
He ran, the general in the naval battalion had already received a letter of appointment signed by Liu Xing himself, appointing him as the chief officer of the Navy, and it was when he needed to make meritorious contributions, how could he let go of Liu Yu, the commander of Jingdong East Road appointed by the Southern Dynasty!
So, Liu Yu ran in front, and the temporary commander-in-chief ordered 3,000 soldiers and horses to chase after him. The chief soldier led 3,000 people and followed Liu Xing to chase and kill all the way.
When the sky was bright the next day, Liu Yu counted the remaining people around him and left less than a thousand, and suddenly a sense of despair and sorrow came to his heart, and he almost didn't faint on the spot.
1,000 people, what can you do? Liu Yu realized that if he didn't hurry up and find an alternative way to escape, he would definitely be attacked and annihilated by Wu Lan and the general of the navy.
Just as he was racking his brains and thinking in every possible way, his son and Liu Lin offered him a strategy: go to the fishing village by the sea, grab the people's fishing boats and flee to Hainan.
Awakened by his son's strategy, Liu Yu patted his head and said, "Why didn't I expect the boat to go south!" ”。 Then he took a thousand remnants of his defeated army and ran to a nearby fishing village as if he were desperate.
As soon as he entered the village, Liu Yu was in a hurry and ordered to kill a Baozheng who had summoned the township soldiers to vote for him and wanted to help him. Then, after ordering the slaughter of the whole village and the looting of grain, he took twenty-four small fishing boats with a thousand disarrayed soldiers and horses, and then went to sea......
Liu Yu fled, and fled very embarrassed and embarrassed.
However, after Wu Lan led his troops to capture Ning's navy, he did not give the order to let the sailors go to sea to chase him. Why don't you let the sailor chase the energy? One hundred and twelve sea ships, it shouldn't be difficult to catch up with Liu Yu and kill him in the vast sea?
That's because Wu Lan knew that he had a more important task, that is, to quickly switch south and go south to fight Haizhou, and the 120 new sea ships were good steel, and Wu Lan wanted to use the blade to fight Haizhou.
This is the true character of a good general, and at no time will he blindly disobey orders in order to win military merits, and do things that do not conform to the orders of his immediate boss for the sake of greed.
Compared with Yang Yizhong's living Hell King, at least Liu Xing knows one thing very well in his heart: Wu Lan can be handsome and handsome in the future, and Yang Yizhong can only be a general who charges ahead and attacks the city, he is just a general who can kill people and cannot command one side......
The handsome and talented Wu Lan briefly reorganized the ranks of the Nanjing Navy, and in only two days, he reorganized the old Ninghai Division into a 15,000-strong New Ninghai Division. Immediately, the recruits entered the camp, and he didn't have time to do more training, so he took 15,000 sailors and 60,000 horse infantry troops to embark on the warship together, and fought all the way to Haizhou City from the sea.
Haizhou, this city is not a big city in the Great Song Dynasty, but it has been an extremely important place since the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty.
His important reason is that it is the largest dock in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, which was built in the era of Zhao Kuangyin. In the past 100 years, more than 30% of the Great Song warships running in the Yangtze River and the Yellow River or on the sea came from Haizhouwu.
It was also here that Song Jiang, a giant in the north who once swept dozens of cities in Jingdong and was called "Xuanhe Erkou" by the Song Dynasty, and his thirty-six generals were completely annihilated by Zhang Shuye in this city.
There is a sea in the east, a mountain in the west, and a dangerous cliff in the north, as well as Haizhou Pass, which is known as the "first pass in the East China Sea". In a strategic sense, as long as anyone captures Haizhou City, it is equivalent to opening the first lock of the important passage from the north to the south.
It was precisely because of his understanding of the importance of Haizhou that Liu Xing would let Wu Lan not get much time to recuperate, so he led his troops to this city.
And what about Wu Lan? did not disappoint Liu Xing, he loaded the twelve Shenwu cannons allocated to him by Liu Xing on the sea boat, and as soon as he approached Haizhou City from the sea, he used it as the first sharp weapon to bombard the city for ten rounds in a row.
Thousands of paces away, when Wu Lan's 120 cannonballs smashed into Haizhou City, the Southern Dynasty generals who defended the city were depressed!
What is this called? How can this be fought! Oh, the sea ship of King Xin's soldiers is a thousand steps away, and the soldiers of King Kang who are defending the city can't fight at all. If you want to fight back, you can't beat people, and you are left with the share of being blocked in the city and beating the stick, who will not be depressed?
Depressed and depressed, the general of the Southern Dynasty guarding Haizhou City quickly counterattacked: he ordered 60 ships docked in the dock to rush out of the dock, and 4,000 soldiers of the Southern Dynasty sailors drove the mountain and tsunami to pounce on Wu Luan's 120 warships.
If he doesn't come out, Wu Lan may really have no choice in the future. Because Wu Xuan knew very well that Liu Xing didn't want his generals to rely on crowds in exchange for cities, more often Liu Xing wanted to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 80 by himself instead of killing 1,000 enemies and 800 by himself.
But as soon as the enemy came out, okay, Wu Lan smiled, smiled very coldly, and at the same time there was a murderous expression on his face, Wu Lan gave an order, and the bed crossbow, stone cannon and the twelve Shenwu cannons on the warship turned together to aim at the Southern Dynasty naval division warship that was rushing up.
As soon as the cannon rumbled, Wu Lan's soldiers first bombarded seven enemy ships with Shenwu cannons at a distance of 800 paces from the Southern Korean Naval Division. Then, when the Southern Dynasty Sailor was collectively stunned and delayed for a short time, Wu Ling roared, and the Northern Navy's collective start, rushing towards the Southern Navy.
On the way to the Southern Dynasty Naval Division, the twelve Shenwu cannons were still spewing flames, smashing one enemy ship after another with cannonballs, blasting through the deck, and soon sank to the bottom of the sea amid the exclamations of King Kang's soldiers on the ship.
When the Liang army hedged to a distance of 200 paces, Wu Xuan ordered again. The bed crossbows and stone cannons fired in unison, turning the warships of King Kang's soldiers and the Southern Dynasty Navy Division in the chaos into another Haizhou city, and they fought fiercely.
