"So far, Duo'er has not sent the war report back, and it seems that our plan has failed again."

The sun sets and the moon rises, and it has been more than ten hours since Shi Zhongshan studied.

A day has passed, and no information has been sent back, even if it is the original plan, he does not dare to say that the ambush attack has been effective, perhaps because he was delayed by other things on the way back.

Although someone has been ordered to investigate the battle situation again, whether it is Ah Shu or Boyan, it is generally clear at this moment. It is very likely that the ambush has been completely wiped out, otherwise not even a single messenger would have returned.

"What now? Lost most of the naval warships, only had a chance, not only failed to break the Song army, but lost 7,600 soldiers, now the warships are heavily damaged, how to confront the Song people in Poyang Lake? ”

Boyan's heart was in turmoil at this time, and Ah Shu was silent for a moment before he said leisurely: "The sneak attack on the water village missed, do you say that the layout of the south can be done?" ”

"South?"

When Boyan heard this, his face immediately became more difficult to look at.

The original design was to let the naval army defeat to the south and contain the main force of the Song army, if the Great Song naval army could be led out of Poyang Lake and deep into the hinterland of the mountain road, it would be able to cooperate with the cavalry to exterminate this Song naval division.

Once this plan is completed, it will be equivalent to exchanging ninety percent of the Yuanmeng Naval Army for all the naval forces of the Great Song Dynasty, which is absolutely cost-effective for Boyan, who makes the Yuanmeng Naval Division just a group of slightly more expensive cannon fodder.

But Shi Zhongshan's ambush attack has been defeated, can the plan in the south be successful?

"It's too late to send another transfer order now."

Bo Yan rubbed his forehead with a headache, even a secret army of soldiers and horses like Shi Zhongshan couldn't successfully complete the surprise attack, and he could still expect the cavalry going south to make a difference?

Although this plan is still fine so far, Boyan is not optimistic.

"Now there are two options."

Ah Shu squinted his eyes and spoke, and slapped his right hand on the table in front of him: "First, we will give up Jiangxi, first withdraw to Lin'an from attack to defense, and then look at the situation after this year, mobilize the forces of Bashu and Xiangyang, and attack the Song court with Lin'an." ”

Speaking of this choice, Boyan was completely unmoved, just looked at Ah Shu with his eyes, waiting for his next plan.

"Second, let's give up the water village today, stick to the Hukou camp, and induce Wen Tianxiang and the new governor's soldiers and horses to attack, and prevent him from withdrawing his troops to the south, as for the victory or defeat, it's not up to you and me."

Give up the water war and stick to the valley camp?

"You're saying that Ali Hague is expected to directly attack where Song Ting is?"

Boyan's expression was still a little unnatural, he didn't want to give up the merit of destroying the Song Dynasty to others, he thought that he could rely on Li Heng and Zhang Hongfan to enjoy his success, but in the current situation, I am afraid that Ali Hague is more likely to directly attack Huanglong and destroy the Song Dynasty.

As soon as he thought that Ali Hague had won the merit of destroying the Song Dynasty, he would definitely show off his might, and Boyan felt uncomfortable for a while.

However, Boyan was not happy, but Ah Shu didn't care, and continued: "If we don't retreat to Lin'an, we still have a few things to do right now. ”

"Tell me about it."

"First, no matter what, a part of the troops must be sent south to respond, whether the cavalry is successful or not, it will not be completely wiped out like a pawn; Second, to investigate the movement of the Song people's soldiers and horses in the south, if they intend to directly abandon the waterway to the north, we can choose one or two places that must pass through to ambush, and there is one place that can be achieved on the way, and you and I still have room to turn around. ”

Ah Shu's thinking still remained basically clear, but he couldn't help but shake his head after he finished speaking. I didn't expect the war to turn out like this before I set out, but now I'm thinking about how not to lose it, it's too ugly.

"Listen to you again!"

Boyan didn't have any other ideas, and as for asking others, he didn't think he could get any good advice, so he immediately said: "I'm going to transfer troops, hoping that the war in the south won't be as bad as here." ”

………

Huashan is located in the southern part of Poyang Lake, where it turns eastward.

The sparse Yuanmeng warship fled all the way south from the north, lasted three days without sleep, and finally escaped to the established landing point. In the sea area less than four or five miles behind them, the mighty Great Song Sailors also surrounded them in this direction.

After several days of pursuit, the Great Song Naval Division also suffered many casualties, especially the Song soldiers under Zhang Shijie, who lost more than 40 warships and nearly 3,000 wounded soldiers.

Although there were so many fewer troops and warships, because the Fu Ship, the Treasure Ship, the Lou Ship and a few large Song Dynasty sea ships were still here, it was natural that the entire sailor still looked like a behemoth.

"Lord, to the east of Huashan, the two generals Xue have discovered the enemy's traces and can attack at any time."

"Really?"

Mo Xiaobai, who was sitting on the deck of the treasure ship making tea, was happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, how much does Yuanmeng want to fight our ambush this time?" ”

"It is reported that judging by the footprints of the horses, there are 6,000 yuan of Mongolian cavalry."

"Six thousand?"

When Mo Xiaobai heard this, he couldn't help but put down the teacup in his hand, and then spit out a few words: "Little family!" ”

It stands to reason that it is not easy for the Yuanmeng people to get 6,000 cavalry at this moment, and it can still be regarded as a big deal, but Mo Xiaobai still has a reason to complain.

Six thousand cavalry, the scale of not up or down, even if he is not outflanked on the periphery, he dares to fight him hard just by relying on the foot soldiers in his hands and choosing a good terrain.

And at the moment, Xue Wanjun and Xue Wanche are ready to fight, mainly with Xuanjia cavalry, tiger and leopard cavalry, and some of the Spark Alliance's assault cavalry, many light cavalry should be killed, and the six thousand cavalry still want to intercept and kill themselves?

It's a dream!

"The Yuan and Mongolian sides are really too conservative in their use of troops, and I'm sure they still have at least five thousand cavalry in their hands now. If they can be a little more resolute and directly send tens of thousands of cavalry south, even if I can fight, I will not fight this battle, and they can successfully rescue those Yuanmeng sailors. ”

While commenting on the wrong transfer of troops by the Yuanmeng people, Mo Xiaobai poured a cup of tea for several people around him:

"Come, everybody, please."

Chenxi, Guo Jia, Liu Ye and others picked up the small teacups, Liu Ye took a sip, and asked with some surprise: "Lord, this tea is Gan tea?" But it seems to be different from the tea plantation in Big Dream City. ”

"Well, I told a few black-clothed guards to go to Fuliang to buy it, saying that it was this year's spring tea."

Mo Xiaobai nodded, the original purpose of sending people to Fuliang was not for Gancha, after all, there were substitutes for this thing, and what he really wanted was the porcelain specialty of the Great Porcelain Capital of China.

The special bone china produced in the previous territory, combined with Ganoderma lucidum wine, can produce miraculous effects, in Mo Xiaobai's mind, Fuliang is the future Jingdechangnan produced ceramics, there must also be related specialties. However, the black-clothed guards under his command have been tinkering over there for most of the day, except for bringing a bunch of so-called 'kaolin', there are only four or five catties of fine fairy branch green tea.

I didn't catch any special products!

This thing is indeed hard to find, and Mo Xiaobai can't dismiss those black-clothed guards because of a loss, so he can only take out this tea in the end to pass the boring time along the way.

That's right, chasing Yuan Meng's defeated pawn is indeed quite boring in Mo Xiaobai's opinion.
