Governor please stay

Xiao Yi's army of thieves fought in boats and oars, and they were good at water warfare.Although Webster's navy has large ships, it has not been drilled for a long time, so it may not be its opponent.If you rush to a decisive battle with him, you may have something unexpected happen.

This time, the general's order has once again been conveyed to you, strictly prohibiting a decisive battle with the bandit army, and not rushing out of the Yangtze River Estuary to enter Dongting Lake. Violators of military law will do so.

In addition to the previous secret letter, XX has made repeated orders, so I won't say more.Anyone who violates military laws will be punished without mercy after the war.This letter is kept in my hand, in duplicate, so that it is convenient to ask for credit or to be held accountable after the war, and I hope Brother Wu Zhi will discipline himself. "

Liu Yishou spoke very quickly, and Yang Jiang, who had been reading and writing since she was a child, didn't give in too much. She had already finished writing after the other party finished speaking, and her writing speed was much faster than Liu Yishou's.

"Ah Lang, you can write this letter..."

Yang Jiang put down her pen and looked at the stern tone of the letter again, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

Don't say that Webster's is not a part of Liu Yishou at all, even if the other party is a core direct line like Yang Zhong, it will be very uncomfortable to read a similar supervisor's letter.He will be outside, and military orders will not be accepted.You are not on the scene to supervise the battle, what the hell are you beeping while hiding!

Liu Yishou is such a smart person, who can coax a few girls to let go of their dignity and have a silver party together. Could that be a reckless man who doesn't understand people's hearts?

"Wechsler has an army in his hands. If you write such an unreasonable letter and send it, aren't you afraid that they will vote for Xiao Yi?"

Yang Jiang asked in disbelief.

Others don't know how rampant these generals are, but Yang Jiang knows it. She also saw her father Yang Kan killing people with white knives in and out with red knives, and she also knows how her father sold the emperor of the Xiao family to Liu Yishou.

These days, Qiu Ba and the others are lawless, and if they have soldiers, they are the grass-headed kings. If they say they rebel, they rebel!

It's okay, who wants to be angry with you?

"It's not that the prime minister is in the dream, but you are in the dream. What are you doing with all the nonsense? Fold the letter, there is another one to write."

The old God Liu Yishou said, still looking at the map and not the people.

"Okay, okay, you're the best, right?

Since you are so powerful, I won't have a baby in the future, so you can hatch eggs yourself! "

Yang Jiang groaned and spread out the paper, ready to write a letter.

"Brother Qifu (Xiao Yi's nickname) Yours sincerely, I am the son-in-law of the Xiao family, and you are the brother of the A-Yi family. We are part of the same family. When we meet in battle, the Xiangjiang River weeps and the Yangtze River weeps. Brothers kill each other. , Why bother fighting in the same room?

The past is like smoke, ethereal without a trace, meeting each other on the battlefield, swords have no eyes.The living beings are covered with charcoal, and there is a piece of scorched earth.

You and I are facing each other with the tip of the needle, the loved ones will be hurt and the enemies will be quick!

If we all put down our arms, we can discuss again, and turn our arms into treasures, so we don't need to fight to the death.

If you can respect the Jiankang court as Zhengshuo, then you will still be a vassal king, and the soldiers under your command will not be held accountable. The court can also save countless military funds and have both loyalty and righteousness. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

I hope Brother Qifu will think about it. "

Without blushing, Liu Yishou asked Yang Jiang to write this brazen letter for him.

"What's the matter, don't you have anything to ask?"

Finding that Yang Jiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yishou put down the map in his hand, looked at the troubled girl and asked in confusion.

"I just think... the one who should be with Alang should be my father, not me. You two are so well matched, but it seems that I am a tool that can only give birth to children."

Yang Jiang sighed and muttered to himself.Although it was just joking, it was hard to hide the slight loss in my heart.

Thinking of her coin father, Yang Jiang felt that Liu Yishou and him were really not in the same family, and would not enter the same family.

The intrigue between Yang Kan and Liu Yishou, collusion and use of each other, is very much like the true face of love!

Without a trace of emotion, a completely pure interest bond, so pure and impeccable, it can be regarded as "love is stronger than gold" to a certain extent.

After all, the money Liu Yishou gave Yang Kan was more than enough to build a few golden Buddhas.

"Isn't Ah Lang here to exterminate Xiao Yi? I wrote this letter to recruit security?"

Yang Jiang put aside her distracting thoughts and continued to ask.

Everyone is ready to fight hard, what the hell are you doing to write a submissive letter, Xiao Yi will only laugh at you when he sees it!

Yang Jiang had no idea what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

"With your wisdom, it's hard for me to explain to you."

Liu Yishou stood up and stretched himself.

"Just tell me, at worst, I'll play that with you later... It's okay to play a few more times."

Yang Jiang hugged Liu Yishou's arm, making him rub against his chest, pleading.

"Oh, you all learned Yuan Yuyi's tricks!" Liu Yishou, who hadn't touched a woman for a long time, was dizzy for a while, and sighed to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

"That's why soldiers never tire of cheating. They're idle anyway. Since you're here this time, you can watch the show on the sidelines. There's nothing to worry about."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, but he refused to say too much.How can the so-called strategy be explained in a few words?

……

Liu Yishou's letter had already been sent several times to the water village of the Webster's Navy in Yingzhou. Wei An did not get angry because of this, but strictly ordered his men not to go out to fight.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.In many cases, it's not that you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight!

The elite navy led by Wang Lin was already cruising on the river outside the city of Yingzhou, and even went deep into Xiakou at one point.Often lay in ambush and plunder the imperial court's tank boats transporting food and grass!

As a last resort, Webster's navy could only mobilize part of its forces to intercept Wang Lin's navy.

However, due to the restrictions of military orders, the fleet of Webster's Navy does not have many ships each time they go to battle!

Then they fought against Wang Lin's water army, and they lost more than they won.The navy fleet involved in escorting the tank ships also suffered heavy losses.

The loss of soldiers, horses and warships is second, mainly because the supply line of water transportation has been harassed severely!There are already rumors in the army that the war is not good!

As a last resort, Webster's navy had to mobilize all their strength to seek a decisive battle with Wang Lin's elite navy on the Yangtze River outside Yingzhou.

However, every time they acted, Wang Lin led the navy to hide, because the opponent's boat was not only fast but also relatively capable, and they could run smoothly every time!

When Webster's navy retreated back, they ran out to make trouble again, making Wei An's head burnt.After discussing for a while, everyone felt that it was not an option to fight like this, and the main force of the King's Water Army in Eastern Hunan had to be eliminated once and for all.

As for Liu Yishou's military order, it's just that he doesn't understand the actual situation in Yingzhou. As long as he can win, the other party can't say anything.

Only when Webster's navy breaks through the blockade of Baling City, enters Dongting Lake, and then supplies Yang Zhong's troops by water, can a stable supply line be formed.The food and grass sent by Yuzhang alone cannot sustain the long-term siege of Baling City.

In a word, the transportation of grain and grass from Yuzhang County to Linxiang is already the limit, and Xiangzhou has been cleared by Xiao Yi, so it is impossible to raise grain and grass.

Even Dugu Xin from Jiangling had to go through Dongting Lake if he wanted to send food and grass.Without a strong naval escort, how to ensure the safety of the transportation line?

Simply put, this is about the struggle for "dominance of the sea".Whoever can completely control the waterway can guarantee the safety of supplies, and whoever can occupy an absolute advantage in land warfare.

In other words, there are prerequisites for the imperial court's three-way army to encircle Baling County.The prerequisite for this is that the court's navy must control the "sea power."

Otherwise, the elite navy of the King of Eastern Hunan can "let you come as many ways as you want, and I will only go all the way", see the tricks.This is the brilliance of Wang Sengbian in the layout of this battle.

At noon that day, there was little wind on the Yangtze River, which can almost be described as sunny and sunny.

On the river to the north of Baling City, the buildings and boats of the Wangshui Army in the east of Hunan are all out, and they can't be seen at a glance, which looks magnificent.

On the river not far to the northeast, there is also a large-scale fleet.This is the main force of Webster's navy, who participated in the Battle of Nanliang Ping Hefei that year, and it can be said to be famous far and wide.

Many high-rise ships in the fleet are as high as five or six floors, and some of them even carry "shooting sticks".When there is an enemy boat next to it, the stick will drop and smash the adjacent boats directly.

Although Webster's fleet is larger, they seem to have an irreversible disadvantage: they are located in the lower reaches of the river.

Occupying this position means: the enemy can set fire to their ships, but they cannot set fire to enemy ships.

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong!"

All the buildings and boats in the King's Water Army in Eastern Hunan were beating loudly!For a moment, there was a hustle and bustle, and the arrogance was overwhelming.

"Order to beat the drum and prepare for battle."

At the bow of the flagship, Wei An, who saw the movement of the enemy, gave orders to the lieutenant.

"Here!"

The drums in the Webster's navy are also loud, and they will not give in to each other!

At this moment, the opposing fleet released one small boat after another, speeding towards their position!

"It's a fire boat! The other side has set fire to the boat!"

The messenger beside Wei An yelled into the cabin.Wei An stood motionless at the bow of the boat, not seeming to panic.

These routine operations have mature coping methods among the navy.

The speed of the fire boat was very fast, and after a while, it came into close contact with the fleet of Webster's navy.Some have already caught fire ahead of time, while others look just like ordinary boats.

However, they had been prepared for a long time, and the well-equipped Webster's navy stretched out many bamboo poles from the densely packed openings on the sides of the big ship, propped the fire boats away, and skillfully avoided the fire boats.

Since it cannot be hit, it is meaningless to ignite it.These fire boats are like small fish passing through a fishing net, heading directly downstream, who knows where they will drift!

The "ultimate move" of Wang Shuijun in eastern Hunan seems to have been cracked in this way.

"It's just a little trick."

Wei An cursed disdainfully.

"The fleet leaned in and smashed them."

Wei An ordered with a wave of his hand.

Soon, the soldiers rowing and stepping on the wheels in the cabin were frantically exerting their strength, and the Webster's navy fleet accelerated and approached the Xiangdong King's navy.

The opponent also seemed to have plans for a showdown. They didn't dodge at all, and they didn't shoot with bows and crossbows. They also seemed to want to rely on side-to-side battles to decide the outcome.

After the fleets on both sides approached, the soldiers of Webster's navy began to board the ship, locked the approaching ship with ropes with iron claws, and rushed into the cabin of the enemy ship.

"No, it was tricked, the boat is empty!"

A boarding soldier of Webster's navy shouted loudly, because he saw a few soldiers of the Xiangdong King's navy jumping out of the boat into the water and trying to escape desperately. Nothing to say.

The Webster's sailor was not the only one who discovered it. Almost all the Webster's sailors who boarded the ship found that there was no one on board the enemy ship, and the few people who operated the boat before jumped into the water and ran away.

The enemy's navy looks decent, but it's actually a large ship with nothing inside, just a few people who are responsible for raising the sails and beating the drums!

"Fire, fire!"

Suddenly, someone saw the fire in the cabin and shouted in panic.They finally knew why the few remaining enemy soldiers had to run away.

Everyone set the boat on fire, so why don't you dive into the water and run away, waiting for yourself to become a barbecue?

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Wei An commanded the soldiers on board to separate the two tied ships.There are many generals like him in the Webster fleet.Some soldiers were pole poles, some were putting out fires, and some were cutting ropes.Some were scared and dumbfounded.

For a while, the entire Webster Navy fleet was in chaos.

At this moment, in the direction of the water village in Baling City, a fleet composed of long and narrow ships with extremely fast speeds rushed towards the Webster's navy, which had lost its ability to cope.

In the blink of an eye, it was close to hand to hand.

Those who came were not the elite sailors under Wang Lin's command, but... reminders filled with kerosene and other things one by one!

Wang Sengbian was afraid that Webster's navy would be too powerful and they wouldn't be able to kill them with one fire, so he sent someone to add another fire!

This tactic became the last straw that broke the camel's back. There were so many large ships in the Webster's Navy, and they were all crowded together with the large ships of the Eastern Hunan King's Navy, unable to move.Many soldiers were not on the ship, and command and dispatch were lost.

Seeing the enemy's fireboat attacking again, no one was in the mood to resist any more. They all jumped into the river desperately and swam towards the north of the river.

The surface of the river where the boats were located was dyed red by the flames, and there were burning boats everywhere.

The large-scale ships of the King's Navy in eastern Hunan and the large-scale ships of the Webster's Navy were crowded together and burning, and there were shouts and cries everywhere.

The disciples of Webster, headed by Wei An, fled towards Jiangbei quietly in the small boat on the flagship, without attracting anyone's attention.

In the first battle of Baling, Wang Sengbian used tactics to lure the enemy into deep, and repeatedly attacked with fire. The first battle wiped out the main force of the court's navy.Although their own losses were also great, and they were forced to abandon all the large ships in the navy, the personnel losses were minimal and could be ignored.

After this battle, the trend of the imperial court to wipe out the army of the King of Eastern Hunan came to an abrupt end!

The offensive and defensive situation of the two sides was completely reversed.

Chapter 573 One eye in eastern Hunan, where is the fate?

In the study room of the government office in Baling City, Xiao Yi was pacing back and forth.The quaint walls, those handsome copybooks, and the vivid pictures of ladies could not calm Xiao Yi down.

At this moment, he was extremely worried about gains and losses.

If this battle fails, it is estimated that Liu Yishou's soldiers and horses can break through Baling City in just a snap of their fingers.If Baling City is destroyed, whether others can survive may depend on Liu Yishou's mood at the time, but Xiao Yi knows that he himself will never survive!

If I must die, what is the use of this world!

At this moment, Xiao Yi felt an urge to kill all the concubines and children around him!

The reason why he didn't do anything was because the results of the key battle hadn't come out yet, so it wasn't worth doing it.

"Your Highness! Overjoyed, overjoyed!"
