(The second watch came, and the brothers voted red to give it a little more power; Today's red ticket is over 8,000, and there will be a third watch! Maybe the fourth is more possible! ）

The north wind rises at night, the ship sails on the sea, and the sails are as fast as galloping horses.

Zhao Qingshan led the first water camp to set off from Jiangmen at dusk to attack Daheng Island again, and when it was in the middle of the day, he could already see the black shadow of Jinji Mountain floating in the sea and sky under the moon.

The red light flashes in the direction of the mouth of Qingshi Bay at the northern foothills, all of which are campfires for night repair, which accurately indicates the course of the fleet at night.

In order to ensure the suddenness of the raid, the fleet did not light a lamp, all by moonlight, and the communication between the fleets was also carried out by putting small boats, adjusting the course, and rushing towards the mouth of Qingshi Bay with all their strength - no matter how bright the moonlit night is, it cannot be compared with the day, and it is difficult to ensure that the reef near the beach is completely avoided, but in order to seize Daheng Island, Lin Jian and all the generals of the army are ready to make great sacrifices.

Zhao Qingshan wanted to seize Qingshi Bay, clear the defenders on both sides of Qingshi Bay, and prepare for the main force to come over to attack the main stronghold camp at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain, and he didn't care about how many unnecessary losses the beach would bring to the warships on a moonlit night.

*********

Although the warships anchored on Dahengdao Island will be reduced in the future, the cape island camp fort and wharf must be repaired as soon as possible, so as to regain some of the main forces under the threat of the powerful boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army.

In the past three or four days, Su Tingzhan ignored the arrow wound in his shoulder and arm, personally commanded the soldiers to carry bricks on the headland island, repaired the camp fort wall, day and night - the campfire was shining, Su Tingzhan sat on the reef on the west side of the headland island to rest, untied it, rested on the stone tip on the side, squinted at the distant blurred night, the sea and the sky seemed to be covered with a blue light, blurry and mysterious.

The combat strength of the Jiangdong Left Army is indeed strong, but the Jiangdong Left Army has a fatal weakness, that is, under the suppression of Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and other political enemies of the imperial court, the Jiangdong Left Army only has Chongzhou, and its foundation is still too thin.

In the battle four days ago, although the Jiangdong Left Army, which came out of the whole division, won a complete victory, this battle had little impact on the overall strength of the Hao family in the East China Sea, and the number of warships damaged by the Jiangdong Left Army reached one-third.

This also means that as long as the situation in eastern Zhejiang becomes clear, and concentrate forces on the sea, or in the Jiangzhou port of Chongzhou, and desperately fight three or five wars of attrition with the Jiangdong Left Army, the warships that can run rampant on the sea of the Jiangdong Left Army will be exhausted, and the Jiangdong Left Army will be forced to retract to Chongzhou for internal defense, so that it can once again regain the initiative in the northern waters of Shengsi.

As far as the overall strategy is concerned, when Quan Ciqing and the soldiers of the two Zhejiang counties have already entered the army, they should temporarily give up the gains and losses in Hecheng and make every effort to ensure the victory of the war in eastern Zhejiang. However, the clarity of the battle situation in eastern Zhejiang is the record of the eldest son, and it is not difficult to understand the second son's insistence on Hecheng, not to mention that the second son and Lin Jian have a hatred for taking his wife. Seizing Changshan Island, forming a horn with Hecheng, and opening the pattern of the northern line is an inevitable move in this situation.

Su Tingzhan stared worriedly at the direction of Chongzhou in the northwest, and the defense space here was there.

Although the second prince led a large army to Changshan Island, if it goes well, he will be able to return day and night, even if he delays any longer, three days is enough to solve the problem of Changshan Island; However, the boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army has been stationed at the mouth of the river, and at this time the north wind is in full swing, and the boat division of the Jiangdong Left Army takes advantage of the wind to attack, and it will only take one night.

"Is there any news from the second sentry today? Send someone to the top of the mountain, count the time, there should be a boat coming at this time. Su Tingzhan asked the entourage beside him, he asked the sentry who sneaked to Chongzhou to send a message back every six hours, and he wanted to keep abreast of the movements of the Jiangdong Left Army in Chongzhou at any time.

Due to the blockade of the Jiangdong Left Army along the river and the coastal areas of Chongzhou, the sentinels of the Donghai Kou in Chongzhou had to cross the river and spread the news to Haiyu County on the south bank, and then take a small boat from Haiyu County to the sea, which would delay for more than half a day, and it would be impossible to transmit the news of the Jiangdong Left Army's dispatch back to Daheng Island in time.

When Su Tingzhan was about to get up with the shackle, a few black shadows surfaced on the occasion of the sea and the sky, like a seabird flying in the moonlit night, Su Tingzhan didn't care, at this time, the sentry post on the top of the mountain blew a palpitating horn, Su Tingzhan's heart jumped, panicked, and the metal shackle "clang" rolled down from his hand, smashed onto the reef, and fell into the water - it was the warship of the Jiangdong Left Army! I didn't realize it until I drove so close.

****************

On the top of Zilang Mountain, the moon shines like the sky, and there is an empty color in all directions.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Song Jia walked into the courtyard in her clothes, looking up at the jade moon passing through the middle of the sky, the moon in late autumn, orange like a bi, and a trace of light clouds slanted across the blue night sky, it was so clear and beautiful, and she was stunned for a while.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't slept yet?"

Song Jia glanced back, and saw that Hao Mingyue came out with her clothes on, looking like she had just woken up, her thin face was still loose and tired, thinking that she saw herself in the yard, so she walked out in her clothes, Song Jia smiled reluctantly, and said: "I had a dream, I couldn't sleep when I woke up, I walked into the yard to see the moonlight......

"This moonlight is so beautiful!" Hao Mingyue also raised her head and looked at the sky Mingyue stupidly, "If people can really live in the Moon Palace, how good it would be!" ”

Seeing Mingyue like this, Song Jia felt faintly distressed.

Mingyue didn't come out of the shadow of the assassination incident at all, and usually locked herself in this cramped courtyard and didn't come into contact with the people on the mountain. She hated the luxury family for treating her as an outcast, but she couldn't let her go of her identity as the daughter of the luxury family. Such suffering made her body not recover at all after a serious illness, and she looked more and more thin and beautiful, as if a gust of mountain wind could blow her away.

"Mingyue, will you hate me?" Song Jia asked with a sigh.

"Why should I hate my sister-in-law? I also thought I had died once, and I was afraid that my sister-in-law would no longer let me call you sister-in-law. Luxury Mingyue looked at Song Jia with stupid eyes and said.

"Silly girl......" Song Jia looked at Mingyue, who was six years younger than herself, and sighed slightly, she didn't know how to tell Mingyue, Lin Lian's layout could hide from others, but she could see it clearly on the mountain.

The elite troops in the left vicinity of Zilang Mountain, which Lin Jian regarded as the base camp, were almost exhausted, and even the construction site of the new city, which did not stop when the fighting in Hecheng was at its most intense, was completely suspended yesterday afternoon, and most of the people who built the city moved to the interior.

The officials of Chongzhou County in the North Ya also urgently moved to the East Ya to temporarily co-operate with the official business, and the North Ya was completely closed, stationed in the people's bravery, and a large number of obstacles such as horses, iron thorns and thorns were set up in places that were easy to attack.

Not only were those who could be evacuated on this side of Zilang Mountain evacuated before nightfall, but the Guanyin Beach on Xisha Island also implemented a curfew, the islanders avoided entering the houses, the people bravely stationed in the walled building, the people avoided the rivers on the island, and the guards and female battalions on Zilang Mountain were all stationed in the camps and fortifications.

On the one hand, the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army led by Lin Tie disappeared, and it was impossible to go to Hecheng to attack the defenders of Hecheng, which had become a turtle in the urn; On the one hand, Chongzhou's side is ready to meet the enemy's strong attack - Song Jia looked at the extremely vague black shadow on the far shore, and said secretly: Not tonight, it is tomorrow, and a battle will break out in the East China Sea.

Feihu shouldn't have chosen this time to leave Jiang Ning, his weaknesses were too obvious and he couldn't overcome them at all.

And if he doesn't hate the old hatred in advance, the most fundamental thing is that he can't compete with the boss Fei Fei Xiong for the dominance of the war in eastern Zhejiang, then he is destined to be obsessed with the northern front and hold on to it.

Lin Jian kept building momentum, surrounded Hecheng without fighting, attacked Daheng Island, and ran rampant on the sea with a boat division, just to drive the flying tiger into the trap of Changshan Island!

At the end of September, before besieging Hecheng Fortress, Lin Jian had transferred a battalion of elite soldiers from the northern line to the south overnight. The elite of this battalion did not stop at Zilang Mountain, nor did they go to Xisha Island to assist in the defense. The elite of this battalion disappeared out of thin air for nearly half a month, so I think I would have secretly transferred it to strengthen the defense of Changshan Island a long time ago, right?

At the most urgent time of the siege of Hecheng Fortress half a month in advance, when the eyes of the sentinels who infiltrated Chongzhou in the East China Sea were all staring at Hecheng Fortress, he used the cover of the frequent mobilization of Minyong County soldiers to redeploy the elite troops, and he was completely able to hide from the sky and the sea - at this time, the main force of the Jiangdong Left Army was missing, it should be that the flying tiger had stepped into the trap of Changshan Island, right?

Song Jia couldn't guess at this time that Lin Jian would raise troops to shoot down the East China Sea soldiers who fell into the trap of Changshan Island, or would he rush to attack Daheng Island? Oh, it should be to attack Daheng Island, otherwise Zilang Mountain will not carry out a big evacuation as the enemy.

Lin Jian would rather give up the opportunity to defeat the main force of the northern front of the East China Sea Army, but also seize the strategic first step of the East China Sea terrain.

Indeed, once the Jiangdong Left Army succeeds in capturing the Shengsi Islands, Chongzhou will become a relatively safe inner line, and it will really become the place where the Jiangdong Left Army takes root and establishes its foundation, and the safety of the route from Chongzhou to the sea to the north has also been greatly improved - Feihu and Zitan They did see the key point of Hecheng, but they couldn't prevent Lin Jian from using the key point of Hecheng's throat to use the secret chess of Changshan Island because of the situation.

"It's cold in the yard, let's go back!" Song Jia hugged Mingyue's shoulders.

Mingyue saw a few tears on her sister-in-law's cheeks and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, just thinking about some things from before." Song Jia wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and it seemed that with the tears flowing, the remnants of the old days were almost gone.

******************

Zhao Qingshan led the first water battalion to approach within four miles of the mouth of Qingshi Bay on Daheng Island, and only then could he find that the horn sounded on the north cliff of Jinji Mountain, Zhao Qingshan could faintly hear it when he stood at the bow of the ship.

At this time, the west wind is in full swing, and the sailing ship is like a galloping horse on the sea, four miles away, rushing to the past, and it is just a cup of tea.

Through the campfire at the mouth of the bay, you can faintly see hundreds of soldiers rushing to repair the camp on the headland.

Golden opportunity! After the strong attack four days ago, Zhao Qingshan and other generals had already figured out the terrain near the stronghold at the northern foot of Jinji Mountain, and there was only a sheep intestine trail on the south shore of Qingshi Bay that connected with the shallows that connected with the headland. As long as they rush into the inner harbor and block the sheep intestine trail first, they can block these hundreds of soldiers on the weakly defended headland and annihilate them, greatly reducing the pressure on the main force to come and attack the main stronghold at the northern foothills.

Zhao Qingshan also ignored how much risk it would be for the strong winds on a moonlit night to rush from the narrow estuary to the beach, so he immediately sent the lights on and ordered the first sentinel fleet led by Ge Cunxiong, who was in the front position, not to lower the sails and slow down, and rush to seize the port and river at full speed, seize the south bank path, and block the Kou soldiers on the headland.
