Number of romantic figures

Chapter 2390 Guizi Juan is coming, there is no retreat
Everyone was shocked, and went south without waiting for the new news. This was expected. After all, the risk of leaking the news was too high, but it was too urgent to go south overnight tonight.

You must know that the Liaodong Army has just arrived, so at least you have to take a breath, and you will leave this evening, so there is almost no time to rest.

Feng Ziying's eyes fell on Mao Wenlong, "Zhennan, I only give your people half a day's rest, and they will leave in the evening. Master Sun's army is heading south along the canal. I'm worried that it will be difficult to cover up the movement along the canal. Once Chen Jixian gets to Jizhen The news of the army going south will definitely cause suspicion, and it will be associated with the change of our Denglai navy, so I don't intend to take this risk, and I don't want to give Chen Jixian a chance to prepare, only your sons who have worked hard."

Mao Wenlong stood up and clasped his fists generously, "Don't worry, my lord, my sons and daughters will be fine for a day or two in the ice and snow. Although it is a bit uncomfortable to go south by boat, we can still persevere and make sure to leave on time."

"Okay, I'll just wait for your words. Wenzhao, Renlong, are you okay here?" Feng Ziying asked Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong again.

"No problem, you can board the ship and set off at any time." Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong also got up and obeyed the order solemnly.

"That line, we will board the ship after supper at the scheduled time, and order the fleets to keep a distance. When they arrive in Chongming, wait in the Chongming offshore area of ​​the brigade, and send two ships to Chongming Shasuo. The latest news is there. Let me know." Feng Ziying nodded: "By that time, if there are no major changes, we will proceed according to the plan."

At the moment of the unitary hour, ships from all over the East China Sea entered the port one after another and began to load people.

The Denglai Town Army, who had dinner, was the first to board the ship. The nearly [-] troops were divided into [-] ships of different sizes. After an hour, they boarded the ships one after another and began to go to sea.

At the same time, more than forty other ships also entered the port one after another, followed by Mao Wenlong's Liaodong Army boarding the ship. At this time, the fleet of the Denglai Navy and the Navy Battalion was already waiting in the open sea.

It wasn't until Xuzheng that more than two hundred ships of various colors began to form a beautiful landscape and head south along the coastline.

If there is no accident, it will be able to enter the Xinghua off-shore of Yangzhou in the daytime. It is expected to arrive near Liaojiaozui by tomorrow night, and enter the Yangtze River Estuary the next morning. Chongming Shasuo will be in sight.

According to estimates, plus two battalions of sailors, Mao Wenlong's Liaodong Army has about four battalions with more than 4 people. Cao Wenzhao and He Renlong's Denglai Town has more than [-] troops, which is close to [-]. Ten thousand people, such a huge force is not too small, and there are thousands of Denglai Navy, but they can't land, they can only fight on the water.

********
Accompanied by Hou Chengzu, Feng Ziying boarded the Chongming Shasuo.

Chongming belongs to Suzhou, but the Chongming Sands on Chongming Island is not under the control of Chongming County, but the Denglai Navy directly manages it.

This place is slightly smaller than the East China Sea. There are more than a hundred troops stationed here. At the same time, there is also a small pier that can berthed and docked. Only small boats can be docked. Large ships that transport large armies and naval warships cannot be docked. We can only stop in the middle of the river, put down the boat and come to the shore.

Several people were already waiting on the shore of the Shasuo. Hou Chengzu was quite familiar with the hundreds of households in the Shasuo, but the other two must be Mr. Feng’s personal, so he also wisely did not go to inquire, but just pressed the knife with the other few. Four guards stood behind Feng Ziying.

Feng Ziying was not very familiar with the person who came. Wu Yaoqing's connections in the south of the Yangtze River were extremely deep, especially from all three religions and nine streams, so Feng Ziying didn't know who came.

But just knowing the situation is enough.

One of Chen Jixian's pro-military forces is stationed in Guazhou Town for unknown reasons.

This news surprised Feng Ziying.

Because the geographical location of Guazhou Town is too important, and the army chose to land in Guazhou Town, you must know that there is only one inspection department in Guazhou Town, and the inspection department has been bought by Wu Yaoqing in advance. That is to say, it was possible to land directly from Guazhou Town, and then attack Yangzhou directly, but now there are Chen Jixian's personal soldiers stationed in Guazhou Town, did Chen Jixian take precautions?
"What's going on? Why did Chen Jixian's personal soldiers enter Guazhou? How many people are there and what is their purpose? This is a question we need to figure out."

Feng Ziying was very anxious, but she couldn't show it on the surface, she still had a calm and composed expression.

There are many places to land in the south of Jiangdu, but Guazhou is the most suitable place. In addition, the Guazhou inspection department has already contacted Long Jinwei and will assist the army to land and start operations quickly. The soldiers will be stationed.

It was expected that some problems would be encountered. It is impossible for such a huge battle to be won smoothly and effortlessly. That is unrealistic.

It's just that she encountered such a problem right away, which still made Feng Ziying secretly mutter in her heart, it was so smooth in the early stage, but don't make all the troubles at the critical moment.

"It's not very clear now, because the Huaiyang army stationed in Guazhou is also in a bit of a mess. I thought they would board a boat and cross the river to go to the Jiangnan side. After inquiring by people close to them, it seems that they are indeed going to the Jiangnan side, but I don't know why, but we still haven't left after a day, so we are very anxious, so we came here to report immediately,..."

The visitor also knows that the matter is of great importance, and strives to explain the issue clearly in the simplest language.

"You mean that they are definitely going to Jiangnan, but they are stuck in Guazhou for unknown reasons?" Feng Ziying felt a little relieved. If so, there is still room for maneuver.

"That should be the case. They should have come here on foot. They could have taken a boat directly in Jiangdu, but it is said that the pier in Jiangdu is too crowded, and there are a lot of supplies to be transported to Suzhou. The locals are not very cooperative, making it a mess. , so it dragged there for a long time, unable to board the boat, so it was simply transferred to Guazhou,..."

"Guazhou is more than 30 miles away from Jiangdu City, so why don't you just come to Guazhou to take a boat?" Feng Ziying thought it was unbelievable. Now Yangzhou is in such a mess?
It seems that the news of Chen Jixian's discord with the Yangzhou government is true, or the Yangzhou government feels that since Chen Jixian is leaving, they are not so enthusiastic, otherwise they wouldn't even bother to perfuse this little bit of face.

"Well, the soldiers who walked for a day were very tired and very angry, so there was a lot of trouble in Guazhou Town, and some soldiers ransacked two wealthy households in the town, and those two families had already gone to Yangzhou Mansion I went to sue, and it became a mess,..."

Feng Ziying moved slightly, and the chaos became a mess, that is to say, the military discipline was disordered and lacked fighting spirit. The chaos in the town process, so it seems like an opportunity?
Thinking of this, Feng Ziying was greatly moved.

Since this battle is going to be fought, if you always hold the mentality of wanting to avoid the strong and attack the weak, you will inevitably worry about gains and losses, and if you fail, you will lose the opportunity to fight.

Now that the information comes back, the entire Huaiyang Town is on the eve of leaving Yangzhou and moving to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Even Chen Jixian himself can't control the thoughts of the people below. In this case, vigilance and defense are also the weakest.

After waving for the informer to leave, Feng Ziying asked Hou Chengzu: "Huaiyu, you just heard about the situation reported back. I think the chaos caused by the imminent transfer of Huaiyang Town is an excellent opportunity. The state is controlled by it, but its control is not for defense, but because of some unknown reasons, if we rush into Yangzhou at this time, and land in Guazhou Town according to the original plan, what do you think?"

Hou Chengzu's face was flushed, he was extremely excited, and he suddenly saluted: "My lord, please hand over the first battle of the landing to our navy battalion of the Denglai Navy. At this time, whether it is Chen Jixian's personal soldiers or other troops, they should not be thinking about fighting. , may even be fantasizing about how to live a new life after going to Suzhou and Hangzhou, which happens to be the best time to give them a hard blow. It can be said that the more they gather at this time, the more likely they will be defeated in one blow !"

Feng Ziying nodded fiercely, "That's it, let's go back to the boat immediately and set off overnight!"

Back on the boat, Feng Ziying communicated with Shen Yourong, Cao Wenzhao, and Mao Wenlong about the information he had obtained. Everyone agreed on this point. No matter what the situation is, go all out, so that you can die and survive.

After reaching a consensus, Feng Ziying immediately ordered that the fleet set sail immediately and enter the Yangtze River.

After making the decision, Feng Ziying calmed down instead.

From Chongming to Guazhou, there are still [-] miles of waterway, but the Yangtze River waterway is no stranger to the Denglai Navy. Even before the North-South War, the Denglai Navy often traveled to and from the Yangtze River for exercises, but the North and the South faced each other. Afterwards, the Denglai Navy suspended its drills on this line.

Perhaps the biggest advantage for our own side is that there is no navy along the Yangtze River. To be precise, the coastal defense north of the Yangtze River Estuary belongs to the Denglai Navy, and the coastal defense south of the Yangtze River Estuary belongs to the Fujian Navy. There is only a small-scale river water division in Nanjing, but the name is more than a navy. In fact, it mainly protects the line from Nanjing to Yangzhou from being attacked by water bandits, and basically does not have too strong combat effectiveness.

From Chongming to Guazhou, it may take three days and three nights if it goes well, but during this period, you can travel close to the south bank of the river. At present, the wind on the river is northerly, but large ships with western-style sails have been used on a large scale. Generally speaking, the north wind is good, as long as it is strong, it can bring huge power.
