Chapter 21: Enemy Warfare Schemes

(Update two chapters, ask for red tickets, there is one more chapter ahead, don't forget to read; Ask for a red ticket! )

Lin Jian took Gu Wuchen's golden tooth card, and led Ao Canghai and more than 40 guards to chase south from Jiyang County to the south for more than 60 miles, seeing the vast sparkling waves on the north shore of Taihu Lake, and also seeing nearly 100 warships on both sides fighting on the lake.

"Xiao Taoyuan, the turtle grandson, has shrunk for nearly two months, and he actually tricked the extravagant flying bear out of the nest at the last moment!" Ao Canghai got off his horse, took off his helmet, and stood on the lake embankment with Lin Jian to observe the battlefield more than a thousand steps away, and said hatefully.

The slanting sun is pouring golden light into the lake, and the sparkling waves are shining with golden light, and the blood seeping into the lake is also extraordinarily gorgeous.

Lin Lian couldn't wait for Xiao Tao to die early, but the main force of the Ninghai Town Water Division that fought fiercely with the Donghai Kou in this lake was the biggest battle for the coastal provinces at this time, if the Ninghai Town Water Division suffered too heavy losses in this battle, Jiangdong County would not have the combat power to suppress the Donghai Kou on the water except for the Jiangning Water Battalion.

Lin Jian has always suggested that Gu Wuchen should be vigilant in the county to be vigilant against the luxury family's strategy of attacking the east and the west, but if the Ninghai Town Water Division loses this battle, even if he knows that the luxury family has the intention of attacking the east and the west, he still has to draw troops from the western front to make up for the lack of defense in the eastern coastal prefectures and counties.

Lin Tie was still wearing an official robe when he was in Jiyang County, and at this time the official robe had been taken off, and the cloth shirt was wearing green armor, he asked people to bring pen and ink, and according to the saddle, the matter of the battle between the water division of Ninghai Town and Donghai Town was actually written on paper, and he sent people back to Jiyang, asking Gu Wuchen and Jiyang County to make defensive preparations, once the water division was defeated, this Donghai Kou was likely to take advantage of the situation to attack Jiyang County.

"If the direction of Haozhou loses another game as the adults expected, I am afraid that the situation in Jiangdong will be ruined......" Ao Canghai frowned and looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said worriedly.

Lin Jian sighed for a long time, the extravagant family was united and conspiracy came out one after another, and the first government and two divisions in Jiangdong and the prefectures and counties below were full of contradictions and restrained each other. How can you be the enemy? He wanted to realistically consider how much of a serious impact the Ninghai Town Naval Division would have on the deployment of Changshan Island and Xisha Island if the Ninghai Town Naval Division failed miserably?

The sailors of Ninghai Town are used to shrinking turtles, but the main force is not damaged, and it is always a threat to the Donghai Kou, and the Donghai Kou do not dare to attack a city and a place with all their might.

Seeing that the naval division warships of Ninghai Town gradually couldn't resist the intention of retreating into the Donglai River, Lin Lian, Ao Canghai and all the warriors also mounted their horses and retreated to the distance, and the loach boat that Donghai Kou was riding did not slow down the rhythm of the attack because the night was approaching, and rammed into the sailor ship formation.

The sun sank into the horizon, dozens of warships set fire, the raging fire reflected the water surface of the Donglai estuary as bright as day, those struggling and crazy figures and screams in the firelight, as if the most real phantom on the lake.

Half a time after nightfall, the naval division warships were defeated, Xiao Taoyuan's command building ships were the first to withdraw from the battlefield and flee north, and his naval warships also fled in an orderly manner, and the two large-wing boats even collided violently together at the mouth of the river because of the waterway, one ship overturned, one bow was smashed, and the water poured into the cabin, making the sailor warships behind even more chaotic.

Seeing that the defeat of the sailors in Ninghai Town was irretrievable, Lin Jian got on the horse with Ao Canghai and all the martial soldiers and went to Jiyang County to join Gu Wuchen.

*********

Rushing back to Jiyang, Lin Jian boarded the gate tower in the south of the county to go to Gu Wuchen.

Gu Wuchen, the officials of Jiyang County, and the generals of the garrison were all on the city gate tower, their eyes fixed on the southeast direction.

There was an old man in a green shirt standing next to Meng Xinshi in Jiyang Zhi County, although Lin Jian had never met Chen Xiyan, but he looked at Gu Wuchen who was far away from him, and turned a blind eye with a tense face, Lin Jian also knew that this old man in green shirt was Chen Xiyan who returned to Jiyang to live in seclusion after the Qu family bandit case.

The sailor of Ninghai Town fell into the trap of Donghai Kou, if the sailor was defeated, there was no place within a radius of 100 miles that was safer than the county seat of Jiyang. Lin Jian asked people to bring the letter back, and the people near the county town fled to the city when they got the news, and Chen Xiyan appeared on the city gate tower, which was not surprising at all.

The night in the countryside is as dark as ink, only the mouth of the Donglai River into Taihu Lake extends into a large area of firelight, there is no need for Lin Jian to explain anything, Gu Wuchen and they also know what the ending is.

Lin Jian returned the tooth card to Gu Wuchen and said: "The sailor is defeated, and only by escaping from the Donglai River into the Yangtze River can we avoid the doom of total annihilation; After the waterless division threatened the side, the Donghai Kou poured into Jiyang Lake and attacked the county seat......"

"Are you really that sure?" Chen Xiyan had already seen Lin Jian ascend the city gate tower, and when he heard him assert this, he couldn't help but interject.

Lin Jian ignored Chen Xiyan, looked at Gu Wuchen with his eyes, and waited for him to make a decision.

Chen Xiyan was so angry that his body trembled slightly, as the leader of the Wu Party, he used to be in a high position in the official household, and he actually gave a rude and rampant erector to the side to ignore it, how could he ever be so angry? Stomping his feet and turning his face to look out of the city, he knew that he couldn't see a little person like Lin Jian at this time.

Gu Wuchen frowned, he didn't see Chen Xiyan's reaction, Lin Jian mentioned in the previous letter that there were three or four thousand people in the Donghai Kou in the Taihu North Lake District, and if the Ninghai Town Sailor wanted to keep the warship, he could only flee north into the Yangtze River, and he could not abandon the ship and enter Jiyang City, and the reinforcements who could rescue Jiyang were all hundreds of miles away.

"How long will it take for Donghai Kou to go outside Jiyang City?" Meng Xinshi didn't care about taking care of the face of the old Shangshu Chen Xiyan, and came over to ask Lin Tie, there are not many people who know the military affairs on the tower of this city gate, and Lin Tie has just returned from the front, so he can only ask Lin Tie about these questions.

"There is no organized resistance and delay in the sailors, and in about an hour, the East China Sea Kou will pour into Jiyang Lake...... "After entering Jiyang Lake, it is difficult to judge how long it can delay and land, the key depends on how many sailor ships have strayed into Jiyang Lake......

Meng Xinshi saw that the sailor of Ninghai Town said so badly to Lin Lian, and he couldn't comment on anything, the sailor was defeated, and it was the fact that happened in front of him, he looked at Gu Wuchen and said: "Lord Gu, I respect you here, how to keep Jiyang, and Lord Gu, you have to make up your mind." ”

The water division of Ninghai Town killed the Donghai Kou in a big way, and even if he returned to Jiyang, he was a chaotic soldier. In addition to more than 100 sword archers and more than 200 private soldiers of the Chen family brought by Chen Xiyan to assist in the defense, the most important force is the more than 400 horsemen who came to Jiyang with Gu Wuchen.

In the face of the surging more than 3,000 Donghai Kou, Jiyang only relied on two or three hundred miscellaneous soldiers and the temporarily organized people to defend until the reinforcements arrived, which was extremely difficult.

Gu Wuchen smiled and said, "Chen Shangshu is here, where is my turn to be the commander." ”

Gu Wuchen naturally couldn't abandon Jiyang at this time, unless he didn't want to mix up in his career, and he was sure to hold Jiyang with so many people and the people who had been temporarily organized.

Chen Xiyan knew that this was not the time to fight for anger, so he said politely in a stiff tone: "Lord Gu is polite, whether Jiyang can hold it or not is all up to Lord Gu." ”

Gu Wuchen waited for Meng Xinshi and Chen Xiyan to say these words, otherwise in front of Chen Xiyan, it would be really inconvenient for him to take over the defense of Jiyang County, he asked Lin Lian: "How do you think Jiyang should be guarded?" ”

"Jiyang can't be defended," Lin Jian said, "I ask your lord to hand over the four hundred cavalry to me to command, and I will lead the cavalry to move outside the city to wait for the Donghai Kou to come and ......."

"It's too dangerous to go out of the city, it's important to hold Jiyang City, with Lord Gu and Chen Shangshu here, whether you are defending it or defending it alive, Jiyang City can be worry-free." Meng Xinshi was shocked, even if Lin Lian didn't play tricks and take the opportunity to escape, if Gu Wuchen's four hundred guards defeated Donghai Kou outside the city, Jiyang's biggest reliance would be gone, and he was busy dissuading Lin Lian from trying to dispel the idea of leaving the city.

Lin Jian pouted slightly, waiting for Gu Wuchen to decide, it was because Gu Wuchen and Chen Xiyan were in Jiyang City, and he had to lead some of the infantry horses to move outside the city.

"......" Chen Xiyan heard that Lin Jian was going to lead the troops out of the city, turned his head to look at him, and saw that his eyes were resolute, his expression was calm, not like a false request, his mouth was open for a while, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Chen Xiyan always has more knowledge than Meng Xinshi, he knows that it is more safe to defend Jiyang County with so many troops, but Donghai Kou sees that Jiyang County is difficult to attack, as long as a small number of troops block the four gates of the county, you can divide your troops and loot the countryside of Jiyang County, and Jiyang County will suffer an unprecedented catastrophe. Although Chen Xixi hated Gu Wuchen and Lin Jian to the core, he never wanted to see his hometown be unbridled by pirates.

Although it is extremely dangerous for Lin Tie to lead his troops to move outside the city, it can also effectively prevent the East China Sea Kou from dividing his troops to loot the countryside; As long as Lin Bin's troops don't eliminate Donghai Kou, Jiyang County will not have much pressure.

Chen Xiyan knew that Lin Jian was still worried about his master Gu Wuchen in the final analysis, if Gu Wuchen was in Jiyang, he had heavy troops and sat back and watched the countryside of Jiyang wash and loot the East China Sea Kou, it would always be an indelible stain on his career, but Lin Jian took such a big risk, after all, he would have a great contribution to Jiyang. Chen Xiyan also felt that it was too much to say that Lin Jian was a "swineherd" before.

"Are you sure?" Gu Wuchen asked Lin Jian with a solemn expression.

"Fighting by the city is not alone. Although there is no such thing as a complete certainty, Jiyang must not become a danger that affects the overall situation of Jiangdong! Lin Jian said.

Gu Wuchen and Lin Jian had deduced the situation in Jiangdong in detail in Chongzhou, and knew what Lin Jian meant when he said this.

Lin Jian led his troops to move outside the city, not only to avoid the Jiyang countryside from being looted by the Donghai Kou, but also for the more important reason, if they only cared about their own comprehensive defense of the county seat of Jiyang, the garrison in Pingjiang Mansion would definitely come to the rescue in a hurry because they could not bear the responsibility of Gu Wuchen and Chen Xiyan being killed in Jiyang, and the possibility of defeating the Donghai Kou one by one was quite large, and Liu An'er's troops, who had been dormant for a long time, were also very likely to take advantage of the situation in Hongzepu, and the situation in Jiangdong would likely collapse globally and be difficult to clean up.

With the safety of one person and the collapse of the overall situation, Gu Wuchen's career can be regarded as coming to an end.

"Then please!" Gu Wuchen pressed Lin Lian's shoulder, and looked at Si Yuan, Zhao Qinmin, Yang Pu and others around him, at this critical time, Lin Lian was the only one who could really take on the heavy responsibility.

The situation in Jiangdong collapsed, and Changshan Island and Xishan Island, which were still weak and not deeply rooted, could not exist alone at all, and no matter how big the risk of leading troops out of the city to fight, Lin Tie had to bear it. He chuckled lightly and said, "I also want to trouble my lord, Uncle Yang and the people below to admonish a few words, lest they be disobedient after leaving the city, and when they get outside the city, if any of them are soft in their hands and feet, the knife in my hand will not be soft." ”

"I'll go out with you." Yang Pu said calmly.
