Episode 10 Chapter 449
Chapter 449
When Cavalry Mo regained his courage and cautiously walked to the shore, he suddenly realized that the people standing on the raft were not real people at all, but straw men in armor and military uniforms. -
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed greatly. Some people screamed, turned their horses and ran back, reporting the situation to the general Feng Yanwen. Feng Yanwen was also dumbfounded when he heard the reports from the soldiers below. The enemy troops did not cross the river, and those who crossed the river were just straw men?
He sat on the horse and was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses. His body suddenly shook and he screamed secretly. He said urgently to a general beside him: "Quick! Go and report the news to General Gao. Just say We are fooled, the Fengyu Alliance is using straw men to fool us."
"Yes!" The general also sensed that something big was going to happen, so he hurriedly agreed, turned his horse's head, and ran towards the woods where Gao Hang was.
It was too late now that they realized something was wrong.
Zhenjiang Navy Camp. After receiving the attack order from Gao Hang, the Zhenjiang Navy immediately took action. The ships carried 100,000 infantry, leaving only the eighth and ninth regiments. The rest of the regiments all headed towards the Fengyu Allied Forces camp opposite. .
The Fengyu Alliance Army Camp is located on the bank of Zhenjiang. There are also ships of the Fengguo Navy parked on the riverside.
When the Zhenjiang Navy started taking action, the Feng Kingdom Navy also took action. Since both sides wanted to sneak attack on the other side's camp, the fleets on both sides did not hold lights, and the soldiers did not light torches. They all marched towards the opposite side in the dark. .
Although the Zhenjiang Navy left two regiments, and the Feng Kingdom Navy dispatched its entire force, the number of ships on both sides was still not at the same level.
The Zhenjiang Navy has no less than 200 ships, and all of them are large ships. On the other hand, the Fengjun Navy has only 130 ships of all sizes combined, and the large ships have not exceeded half. The 200 ships of the Zhenjiang Navy can easily carry 100,000 infantry, while the 130 ships of the Fengjun Navy can only carry 30,000 infantry and are already so crowded that it is difficult for people to even turn around.
Looking at the Fengguo ship, it was really dark. People on the deck were next to each other, and people were close to each other. The situation in the cabin was slightly better. It was a little crowded in the middle, but the sides were still loose because the sailors had to paddle. , if it were as crowded as the deck, the ship would not be able to move.
In fact, Qingyu's strategy was also very risky. He calculated that the loophole in Linzhuang was deliberately designed by Gao Hang, but he failed to calculate that Gao Hang used a two-pronged approach and sent the Zhenjiang navy to sneak attack on his own camp.
The current state of the Feng Kingdom's navy, which is full of infantry, is not suitable for a water battle. Once a battle occurs, the ship's navy cannot be deployed at all. And if the ship is sunk, so many infantrymen will be involved. Suffer together.
But the situation at this time is that the fleets of both sides are traveling in opposite directions. Although the sky is dark, the river is still foggy, and the distance between the two sides is far, no one can see the other. However, it is only a matter of time that the fleets on both sides will collide head-on, and the water battle will also happen. It's on the verge of breaking out.
Tang Yin did not go to Linzhuang and chose to sneak attack the Zhenjiang Navy with the fleet. He, Nie Ze, Guan Yuan Rang, Jiang Fan and other generals were all on the first ship. Only this ship looked less crowded. At least there was enough room to move around on the deck.
Standing on the bow deck of the ship, Tang Yin asked the generals on the left and right: "Tell me, what is Mo Jun doing now?"
Nie Ze smiled and said: "I'm afraid they are all attacking our army's straw men over at Linzhuang!"
After hearing this, all the generals couldn't help but laugh. Tang Yin shrugged and said: "The straw man can only deceive Mo Jun for a while. It won't take long before the opponent will react. At that time, Mo Jun will definitely rush back. With the speed of Mo Cavalry, the distance of more than a hundred miles can be covered in an instant. So, after arriving ashore, we must clean up the Mo troops in the Zhenjiang Navy camp as soon as possible, and then use all our strength to resist the Mo cavalry's rescue. "
Everyone nodded and said, "What the king said is absolutely true!"
Tang Yin wanted to speak, but suddenly frowned and swallowed back the words that were on his lips.
He turned around and looked ahead. There was darkness and fog ahead, and nothing could be seen clearly. He closed his eyes and waited for a moment. When he opened his eyes again, a frightening and strange green light was emitted from his eyes.
The generals on the left and right were startled when they saw this, and Guan Yuanrang asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with the king?"
Tang Yin has night eyes, but they are not clairvoyant eyes. He can see through the darkness, but he cannot see through the vast river fog. After staring forward for a while, he murmured: "I heard something moving in front of me."
ah? Everyone took a breath, was there any movement? Could it be that we encountered an enemy patrol ship? People were holding on to the railings and looking forward. But even Tang Yin couldn't see clearly, let alone them.
After watching for a long time, people didn't see the reason. Guan Yuanrang withdrew his gaze and whispered to Tang Yin: "It's not possible that the king heard wrong. There are so many ships in our army, and the noise is very loud."
Before Tang Yin could reply, Ai Jia turned around and shouted in a low voice: "Amuke, let the eagle go and explore!"
After hearing Ai Jia's order, Amuko agreed, his shoulders shook violently, and the falcon standing on his shoulders jumped up, spread its wings and flew forward.
The eagle struck the sky, and soon, the long cry of the falcon "quack, quack" was heard in mid-air.
If it is a wild eagle, its cry should be a long cry similar to a "whistle", which is sharp and harsh, while the cry of a human-raised falcon is relatively low. The breeder can also judge the falcon by its cry. What you want to express is slow or urgent.
When Amuke heard the cry of the falcon, his expression suddenly changed, and he said to Ai Jia urgently: "General, there are enemy ships ahead!"
His words frightened everyone present. No matter how many or how few enemy ships there were, even if there was only one, it would be fatal. If the enemy discovered their fleet and reported back, what would be the point of a sneak attack?
Tang Yin reacted very quickly. Without even thinking, he said to the two navy commanders, Sun Bing and Xu Yan, in a deep voice: "Change direction immediately to avoid, and at the same time, tell the rear ships to follow the main ship to change direction!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Sun Bing and Xu Yan also broke out in cold sweat, one ran to the cabin, and the other rushed to the stern.
However, it was too late for the Feng Kingdom Navy to change its route now. They did not collide with the oncoming Zhenjiang Navy. The two sides passed by each other, and the distance between them was only about ten meters.
This narrow encounter and unexpected encounter made the fleets on both sides explode. Both sides were carrying out the mission of a sneak attack, and no one expected to encounter the opponent's main force in the center of the river.
For a while, the ships on both sides shouted and shouted, and the first to attack was the Feng Army. Seeing the fleet of the Mo army passing by from the side, the soldiers of the Feng army on the deck took off their bows and arrows and shot at the enemy. Soon, the return arrows of the Mo army also whistled in.
Because of the heavy fog on the river, even ten meters away, it was not clear. Only the general outline of the enemy's ships could be seen. The specific situation of the ships could not be seen clearly. The arrows shot by the soldiers of both sides were also based on feelings.
But even so, there were many casualties on the Feng army side.
There were too many infantrymen on the deck of the Feng country ship and they were too crowded. The arrows flew over. People wanted to dodge or block them. Many soldiers who were shot by arrows were shot to death, and their bodies were still standing in the same place.
In this situation, the Feng army had no way to fight on. Tang Yin could only urge his fleet to rush over at full speed, not to fight with the enemy, and try to shake off the enemy.
However, the Feng army ships were loaded with so many people, how could they possibly shake off the Mo army ships?
But what's interesting is that the Mo Army ships didn't want to fight with the Feng Army. The Mo Army's commander issued the same order as Tang Yin, to quickly pass the Feng Kingdom fleet and make sure to get rid of the enemy's fleet.
According to the current situation, the order of the Mo Army commander is undoubtedly extremely stupid. If he is willing to fight a hard battle with the Feng Army fleet at this time, even if the Feng Army wants to run, they can chase and beat them, and they can completely annihilate the Feng Kingdom navy. In addition, they can also annihilate the Feng King Tang Yin, the commander of the Baizhan Army Nie Ze, and a large group of Feng Kingdom's main generals who are on the same ship, including Guan Yuanrang, Jiang Fan, Letian, Ai Jia, Cheng Jin, etc., but the Zhenjiang Navy did not do so.
This does not mean that the commander of the Zhenjiang navy was incompetent or afraid of fighting, but the commander Gao Hang had said early on, "In this battle, our soldiers must go all out and march forward bravely. When attacking the enemy camp, no matter what happens, they must not stop. They must charge forward with all their strength. If anyone disobeys orders, if anyone is born afraid of death and shrinks back, I will kill him without mercy!"
These were Gao Hang's original words, and Gao Hang's style has always been known for his decisiveness. Now, how dare the commander of the Zhenjiang navy disobey the military order? In addition, he also has concerns in his heart. There are 100,000 infantry in his fleet. Once a fight breaks out, these 100,000 people will be a big burden. Not only will they not be able to help, but they will also become a burden on their own ships. If any ship is sunk, the infantry on the ship will also be buried at the bottom of the river. He cannot bear this responsibility.
Of course, if it were daytime and the river was not so foggy, and the situation of the other fleet could be clearly seen, the commander of the Zhenjiang navy would not give up the battle even if he would lose his head.
It was by chance and coincidence that the fleets of the two sides passed each other, and during the period, the two sides only fired a few rounds of arrows at each other.
The Fengguo navy was ready to fight to the death, but they did not expect that after the two sides crossed, the other side did not turn around to chase them, which surprised all the generals led by Tang Yin.
Nie Ze was a veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time. He immediately judged from the performance of the enemy that the goal of the Zhenjiang navy should not be to intercept them, but to attack the camp as their own purpose.
Hearing his analysis, everyone nodded in agreement, thinking that what he said made sense, and only in this way could it be explained.
Tang Yin sighed, as long as the other side did not fight a naval battle with him, everything would be fine. He turned back and said to Ai Jia: "Send a warning to our camp immediately, and let Qi Heng prepare to meet the enemy."
