Chapter 236: Leading the Army (I)

It was not Fan Liuhai's army that attacked first.

The port of departure is one of the gateways of Weidi.

Although there were not many people in the Wei army who were familiar with water, it was not too difficult to build a water division, but at this time, this water division was facing destruction.

"Boom!"

The enemy ship smoked and caught fire, the smoke was billowing out, and it changed its direction to increase its speed and pounced directly on the Chu ship, which was installed in the bow of the ship and was a large iron cone, and if it was hit, it could be immediately smashed and turned over and rolled over stubbornly.

It's just that the Chu ship is as flexible as a fish and turns quickly along the current, not only avoiding the enemy ship, but also passing in front of the enemy ship at a sudden speed.

There was a loud noise and smoke on the ship, and the soldiers on the enemy ship were splashed with blood, and although there was resistance from the ship's shield, seven or eight people were still shot, and they were staggered and fell backwards.

"Hand fire thunder!"

At the sound of an order, the ten soldiers shouted in unison, and the ten smoke-emitting fire mines were thrown up.

"Boom!" the hull of the ship shook violently, and clouds of smoke rose up into the sky, spreading high places, covering the sky and the sun, and the soldiers on it screamed miserably, with flames on their bodies, and fell into the river, the tragic situation was unbearable to witness.

Lu Suhai, who was on the command platform, looked silently, although the fierce water battle on the river was still in full swing, but nine enemy ships had been wounded, three of which capsized and sank, and the general trend was gone.

"The sailor is invincible in the world!" Seeing this situation, Sundial Suhai shook his head and sighed, happy and gloomy.

The northerners are good at horse warfare, and the southerners are good at water warfare.

Regardless of the ship's handling technology and warships, as well as the quality and equipment of the sailors, the south far surpassed the north.

The king of Chu has 374,000 registered soldiers, and there are as many as 60,000 sailors alone.

There are also 310,000 army establishments, deducting 30,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 Jinling city defense troops, as well as 100,000 normal garrisons in nine provinces, and 150,000 mobilizable troops.

However, the 150,000 army and 60,000 sailors were already the first in the world.

Joy is naturally the strength of his own camp, but the gloomy well will attack the north in the future, and the sailors will be difficult to use, and there are not many opportunities to establish meritorious deeds.

However, "there is still Xuzhou to fight, Lu Suhai is happy in his heart, and he looks up to the sky and smiles: "Xu Wenhui was originally born in white, but he is called the King of Wei, and today the sailor has been extinguished" There are not many days left!"

At the same time, a series of instructions are issued.

Xu Wenhui's foothold was not stable, and it was not an overnight matter to establish a naval division, and under the bombardment of the cannon fodder of the Chu army's naval division, not to mention the naval fleet at the port of departure, that is, the defense on the port, were completely destroyed one by one.

For a time, "fireworks and cries broke out on the port" and the screams rang out.

And just as the fighting was raging in the harbor, a fleet was belated.

At this time, there is still some distance from the port of departure.

This fleet "was made up of sturdy warships, and the big ships in the middle were being escorted by the warships, but they were carrying the Isshiki Army."

A big ship in front, there was a group of people standing on the deck on the second floor, and Fan Liuhai, who was clustered in the middle, was holding a monocular and looking into the distance.

Fan Liuhai pursed his lips slightly, burly, wearing a delicate bright light armor, red clothes inside, some of which were exposed from the inside of the armor, reflecting each other, just standing, he had the demeanor of a general.

Behind Fan Liuhai, there were all military generals wearing armor, and at this time, a lieutenant got the news and came to Fan Liuhai's side and reported: "General, the front is the port of departure." ”

"Leaving the port?" A few miles away from the fleet, there was a faint sound of fighting in front, and with a monocular, I could already clearly see that bursts of smoke were rising from the front.

"Is there any news from the port?" asked Fan Liuhai, who stood on the deck of this big ship, holding a monocular in his hand, and looked at Fan Liuhai in the distance.

"General, there is no news yet...... "Before the captain could finish his words, he saw a small boat in front of him already speeding by.

Because the ship had the flag of the Chu army, the battleship in front of it was inspected and let it go.

"Report!" someone shouted loudly on the small boat: "General Zhengbei, our naval division has captured the port of departure." !”

The port has been captured, and the sailor is really fast!

"Okay!" Hearing this, Fan Liuhai's face showed a hint of joy, and he praised the people on the left and right: "It is worthy of being our army's sailor, and it is really good!"

Others also nodded their heads again and again.

"General, is it over now?" Zhang Shikun stepped forward at this time and asked softly.

"Naturally, I ordered the fleet to go to the port of departure at once! Hong Kong, the rest is the army's business!" Fan Liuhai said with a serious face.

Shi Kun bent down slightly and bowed in response.

After receiving Fan Liuhai's order, he immediately went to the back and hurriedly asked people to pass on the order.

Receiving this order, the convoy carrying the army sped towards the port of departure.

In half an hour, the situation at the port of departure has basically stabilized.

Although there were still remnants of forces stubbornly resisting, after the army landed, they were defeated one by one, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of troops gathered into the port.

At the port of departure, in a council chamber, a meeting was taking place at this time. Fan Liuhai sat upright, sitting with his hands on his knees, standing on the left was a female official under his account, and on the right stood Zhang Shikun's group of generals.

Zhang Shikun said solemnly: "General, I have ordered to extinguish the flames, and ordered the rear army to rectify the port, arrange food and lodging, 30,000 troops will arrive in the port one after another today, and a mouthful of hot soup and rice tonight is enough!"

After speaking, the room was quiet for a while, and for a long time, Fan Liuhai said with no expression on his face: "Now our army has won the port, but this is the victory of the sailors, but without our merits, we only have the stronghold of the port now, and the next place to be fought is a very well-defended county, now you talk about it, what should I do?"

Zhang Shikun's eyes swept over, and he said: "General, Xu Wenhui has no more than 70,000 troops, and the last general feels that they are all rabble, as long as our army goes straight in, smashes the Yellow Dragon in one go, and dares to fight a tough battle, the Wei army will be defeated and retreated."

Zhao Cheng coughed and said: "Xu Wenhui is not a sailor, the infantry army has seventy or eighty thousand, one arrangement is not good, it is likely to be damaged, and there is no glory in front of the king, it is better to send a few vanguards first, advance lightly, break through, explore the way for the army, and then it is not too late for the army to go straight in." ”

Fan Liuhai thought about the proposal of the army to go straight in, but he was still vetoed, his advantage is to master the river, there are 60,000 sailors behind, as long as the army is steady and steady, there will be no disaster of overturning, if the army goes straight in, once there is an accident, I am afraid that the whole army and his own future will be ruined!

I immediately leaned towards Zhao Cheng's opinion in my heart, as for sending a few vanguards to advance, break through each one, and occupy some fortresses and county seats, it was a safe way.

Thinking of this, Fan Liuhai's gaze swept towards the generals who stood behind him without saying a word.

These are some of the newly promoted generals, who are generally very young, and all of them have the vigor of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and the most crucial point is that they urgently need an opportunity to be promoted and make meritorious contributions, which can be used.

Thinking of this marriage, I made up my mind.

"Zhao Cheng listens to the order!" he said solemnly.

"The last general!" Zhao Cheng stepped out of the ranks of generals and bowed his hand to him.

"Ben will order you to take your subordinates, go to Denghe County, break through the city within ten days, and force to Runan County, there must be no mistake!"

"The last general will be ordered!" Zhao Cheng, who had been appointed, retreated very happily.

"Wu Xingzong listens to the order!" Mastiff Liuhai said again.

"The last general!" As soon as Fan Liuhai's words fell, at the back of the generals' team, a person walked out, only to see that this person was burly, ugly but faintly majestic, but it was the new guard general Wu Xingzong.

"Ben will order you to take your subordinates, go to Xipo County, and break through the city within ten days, there must be no mistake!"

"The last will be ordered!"

Although it is the same county seat, it is different, Zhao Cheng has 3,300 in his department alone, and Wu Xingzong only has 600, but Denghe County is close to Runan County and may receive support at any time, while Xipo County is remote, without support, a guard general can attack it.

After the military affairs were allocated, Fan Liuhai announced the end of the proceedings.

Several of the generals who had been appointed went out one after another, and took their subordinates and soldiers to pull out.

After Wu Xingzong went back, he saw that one of his guards had already built a tent, and his room was originally in a yamen south of the port!

"My lord!" Seeing that the soldiers saluted immediately, Wu Xingzong nodded with a smile, which was regarded as a return salute, seeing that the sun was shining all over at this time, there was an indescribable beauty, and there was some kind of enlightenment.

Wu Xingzong's heart was beating, although it was a battlefield where human life was as cheap as mustard, but it brought him an opportunity every time, making him leap forward quickly.

Even he himself felt that if he had God's help, he would rise step by step.

"My lord, we have been waiting for you to come back, is there a battle to be fought? Is there our share?" As soon as I went back, I saw Tang Yuan, who was wearing the official uniform of the team, greeted him, and there was a fire chief behind him, this fire chief was Liu An, the little brother of his hometown Luotian County, who knew that he had developed and defected.

Wu Xingzong smiled: "Haha, the opportunity for everyone to make meritorious contributions has come, go and let the team be above and above, all concentrated, I have something to say!"

Hearing this, Tang Yuan and a few people immediately became happy, and hurriedly responded: "No!"

After the captains above the team were assembled, Wu Xingzong told them the order to attack Xipo County.

When everyone heard this, they were very excited.

Wu Xingzong looked at their excited expressions, smiled slightly, and said: "This is the first time I have led an independent army, although I heard that Xipo County is located in a remote area and has no support, but you can't be careless, if you win this battle, the road ahead will be opened, if you are defeated, we will be difficult to come out, you must not embarrass me!"

"Don't worry, my lord, we all know!" said everyone.

Although he is a small guard general, Wu Xingzong's strategists do not have strategists, but through military affairs, Wu Xingzong will discuss with these subordinates as soon as possible, so that when fighting, the whole army will be kneaded into a rope and there will be no mistakes.

When Wu Xingzong was a gangster, he knew very well how to grasp people's hearts.

"Okay, rest for the night tonight, and set out early tomorrow morning!"
