Chapter 1107 Soldiers are coming to Qingzhou
Will...... General, what are we going to do? ”
Looking at the huge warships like mountains on the sea, the captain trembled with fright, and asked the general in charge of garrisoning the coastal defense fortress with a hint of crying.
"You ask me, I ask who is going???"
The general suddenly roared angrily, rather out of shape.
They were the troops under Kong Rong who were ordered to garrison the coastal defense fortress, because they were not capable of fighting the Pingzhou Naval Division at sea, Kong Rong built many defensive fortresses in various strategic locations along the coast in an attempt to fight against the Pingzhou Naval Division.
But it's as ridiculous as the hope that coastal forts will negate the enemy's strategic superiority at sea – unless you can build them all over the coast!
At this time, the Pingzhou Navy Division was pressed by the territory, and there were more than 20 building ships and hundreds of large warships galloping on the sea, and at a glance it was full of dense warships, which almost scared the defenders of the coastal defense fortress!
"Report to the general, the enemy army has sent messengers demanding that we lay down our arms and surrender within a quarter of an hour, otherwise the entire fortress will be reduced to ashes!"
Just when everyone was in fear, a small colonel came quickly and reported to the general.
"Huh? A quarter of an hour?? ”
When the general heard this, he could no longer maintain his composure, and screamed in surprise.
"Is there any news from Huang County? How is it that so long has passed and there has not been a new order down? ”
Everyone looked at each other, less than half an hour had passed since the discovery of the traces of the Pingzhou Sailor, and it was hundreds of miles away from Huang County, and it was normal for no news to come.
"Boom !!"
Just when everyone looked at each other and didn't know what to do, there was a sudden deafening roar, and everyone subconsciously followed the sound, but saw that a small hill not far from the fortress had been covered with torch stones.
Under the devastation of hundreds of stone bullets, the hill was already unrecognizable, and the waist-thick trees were blown away, and the raging fire burned all over the mountain in the blink of an eye.
The sergeant stationed at the coastal defense fortress replaced the small mountain bag with the fortress he was stationed in, and his heart shivered.
The adjutant swallowed his saliva and stammered, "General...... General, why don't we descend? ”
The general glanced at the burning mountain bag, and then at the fortress where he was stationed. The scale of this fortress is not large, one mile square, bluestone construction, the defenders are only more than 5,000 people, and the total number of defensive equipment such as large bows and crossbows and stone-throwing vehicles is less than 200, and all of them add up to not as many large attack equipment as a building ship!
Ten building ships can almost completely submerge this fortress with a single salvo, and comparing the strength of the enemy and us, the military general suddenly felt that the Pingzhou Sailor would waste a quarter of an hour for his own people, which was simply too merciful!!
Thinking of this, the general casually threw his blade on the ground and said, "Surrender, we surrender!" ”
"Hooray!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard this, they immediately let out a burst of cheers, and those who didn't know the truth probably thought that it was not the defenders of the fortress who surrendered, but that they had successfully forced down the Pingzhou Naval Division.
After the order to surrender was issued, Kong Rongjun's efficiency was unprecedentedly high, and he rushed out of the fortress all the way, standing in line under the leadership of the general, the fluttering white flags were hunting, and each head held high, like a triumphant division waiting for the review.
Well, it is true that you can't expect too much from Kong Rongjun.
After all, most of the princes in history started by beating the Yellow Turban, but Kong Rong was blocked by the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army at home and beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, which is very revealing.
Liu Yi stood on the deck of the flagship of the First Fleet, looked at Kong Rongjun who surrendered, and nodded slightly.
Theoretically speaking, this time the Shang army sent troops to Qingzhou, which was entrusted by the imperial court to assist Kong Rong in the conquest of the Yellow Turban bandits, and it had nothing to do with the annexation of the princes, and he still had the holy decree issued by the imperial court in his hand, which was reasonable and legal.
But actually, it's just a matter of listening. Kong Rong was willing to let Guan Hai occupy Beihai rather than take care of it, and resolutely ordered the army to resist the landing of the Pingzhou naval division.
The Pingzhou sailor was also lazy, and as soon as he came up, he ordered Kong Rongjun to surrender, and he didn't even bother to do the most basic superficial work.
"Victory in the first battle, congratulations to the marshal!"
Seeing that the vanguard troops had taken control of the fortress, Tai Shici congratulated Liu Yi next to him.
"What's so gratifying about a small fortress with less than 10,000 soldiers?"
Liu Yi shook his head absently, then glanced at Tai Shici and asked, "If Ben is not mistaken, Ziyi is from Donglai?" ”
"Yes, the last general is from Donglai Huang County."
Liu Yi nodded and said, "I don't know how many people Ziyi needs to take Huang County?" ”
Huang County is the county of Donglai County, and it is also the core area of Donglai, after taking Huang County, the Shang Ji Army has a foothold in Qingzhou in the real sense, so Huang County is of great significance to the Pingzhou Army!
"Give a certain 10,000 elite soldiers, you can take Huang County!"
Tai Shi Ci took a step forward and said with his head held high.
"Ten thousand? Ziyi knows that there is no joke in the army? Liu Yi obviously had some suspicions, Huang County is also a county after all, and it is a giant city.
Moreover, Huangxian County is a strategic place, and Kong Rong also attaches great importance to it. According to intelligence, there are 500,000 defenders in Huangxian County, although the quality of the army is completely incomparable with the elite of the Shang army, but 500,000 troops rely on the city to defend, how can 10,000 troops be able to conquer it?
Dispatch the elite Guards to try.
"The last general naturally knows, if the commander is not at ease, the last general is willing to make a military order!"
"There is no need for a military order, the whole army is selected by Ziyi, and when 10,000 capable people are selected, Ziyi will be the vanguard and take Huangxian directly. If it succeeds, Ben will personally express his credit for Ziyi, if not, Ziyi will not blame the ruthlessness of military law! ”
"The last general understands!"
Tai Shici clenched his fists and replied loudly.
Soon, Tai Shici selected the 10,000 people he needed. In fact, it is very simple to choose, just select the most elite 10,000 people from the Fifth Battle Legion under his command.
Looking at the back of Tai Shici leading the army away, Liu Yi looked at Guo Jia next to him, and asked with a smile: "Fengxiao, in your opinion, how sure is General Ziyi's trip?" ”
Guo Jia shook the feather fan lightly and said with a smile: "Why does the general ask knowingly? If General Ziyi raised 100,000 male troops to attack Huangxian, I think there was a slight possibility of failure, but now that 10,000 elite light cavalry are rushing forward, it will be foolproof! ”
"Hahaha!"
Liu Yi laughed when he heard this, after countless battles, Tai Shici's personality became more and more calm and atmospheric, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is both wise and brave. This time, he said that he would capture Huangxian with 10,000 elite soldiers, although Liu Yi had some doubts in his heart, he didn't think that Tai Shici was blowing nonsense.
"The order goes down, and the whole army lands. Taking Huangxian is just the beginning, and there are many enemies we need to face! ”
