The most powerful film and television lottery

Chapter 475

The two sides met and knew each other's situation, of course they were very happy. After finding out that the enemy was about to attack, Shen Mu hurriedly sent someone to meet Yang Gongqing, telling him that there was no need to rush back and the safety of the army should be the top priority.

After another round of dispatching troops, Shen Mu took Xu Ziling's arm and sat down on a rock in the lower reaches of the water gorge, exhausted, and said, "Brother! I am really grateful to you, otherwise I will lose this battle very badly." Miserable, not only Liang is in danger, but my young commander's army will also collapse. Damn, Gui Xiliang and Xingrong are really not human, I trusted them so much, but they betrayed me."

Xu Ziling said: "You are most likely to blame them wrongly. The friendship established since childhood is the most sincere. They are definitely not such shameless people." Then he expressed his own analysis.

Shen Mu relaxed, and said with a smile: "Fortunately, you are by my side to solve the problem. If the two boys really betray me, it will hurt me a lot. Your brother will be in charge of the battle tonight. I am so tired that I just want to lie down and take a nap. Hmph! It would be best if that kid from Xiangyu Mountain comes by boat with Li Zitong, so that we can prove that Xiliang and Xiaorong are not betraying us, and let us kill him."

Xu Ziling said: "Our chances of winning this battle are very high, because Li Zitong didn't know that Yang Gongqing's army was nearby, and thought you came out empty, so he only focused on coming north at full speed and neglected to take precautions. What are your plans? ?”

Shen Mu smiled and said, "That depends on how much we can deal a blow to Li Zitong's naval fleet. The speed and flexibility of the airship is far better than any of Li Zitong's naval ships, and it goes down the current to catch them by surprise. , Maybe it can wipe out his entire army of more than a hundred ships. At that time, we can take advantage of the momentum and go south, first cut off all water traffic in Zhongli, and isolate Zhongli. What else can Li Zitong do other than hide and tremble in Jiangdu City?"

Xu Ziling looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said: "The command of the whole army can be handed over to Xu Xingzhi. You and I will board one of the airships. Your sun-shooting bow and my Yumu bow will definitely be too much for the enemy."

Shen Mu said in surprise, "All right? He has no experience in commanding military operations."

Xu Ziling pointed to his head and said, "But he has more brains than anyone else. As long as someone with experience like Bai Wenyuan cooperates with him, I guarantee that he will have the ability to be reborn as Zhuge Wuhou. Except for Xuan Yong, he is your young master." The most outstanding talent in the army. Let him fight a battle that is sure to win, and it will be of inestimable benefits to his prestige and confidence. And you need a person like him who is not inferior to you and me in intelligence. I will preside over the overall situation for you when you go out."

Seeing that he was still hesitant, he reminded: "Don't forget that we are going to the battlefield in person, if he makes a mistake, we can still make up for it temporarily. Right?"

Shen Mu finally agreed, and said: "Your proposal will never go wrong. Time is running out, Shao Fanling summoned the relevant people to implement the power and responsibility of Xingzhi's command."

Twenty-eight airships, five feet long and two feet wide, are waiting in the hidden places in the upper reaches of the gorge. The sails on the ships are all removed and discarded. They are accelerated purely by foot pedals. The wheel consists of more than 28 traps mounted on a fixed wooden wheel and connected to the rudder, so as long as the angle and direction of the traps are adjusted to draw water, the flywheel can glide on the water like a fish.

The crossbow bolt machine at the bow is the most powerful heavy weapon of the airship. Each machine can continuously fire twelve specially made heavy crossbow bolts, with a speed of [-] steps. With the ignited tarpaulin, it becomes the most threatening rocket in the water battle.

There are anti-arrow steel plates on both sides of the flywheel, which extend obliquely from both sides to join in the middle. The herringbone-shaped roof has round holes for ventilation and archery. The warriors and helmsman who operate the boat hide in it.

The bow is equipped with a sharp steel cone, which is the installation of a general warship. However, due to the maneuverability of the airship, the destructive force generated by the impact is of course beyond the reach of ordinary heavy warships.

Shen Mu, Xu Ziling and Bu Tianzhi stood at the bow of one of the spaceships temporarily named "Young Marshal". Xu Ziling was in charge of controlling the crossbow machine, Shen Mu carried the sunbow in his hand, and as for the rocket, four extremely agile fighters The Young Marshal Army is responsible for the supply.The boat is operated by the experienced Chen Laomou, and Bu Tianzhi is in charge of commanding the overall advance and retreat, and he will convey Shen Mu's orders under the banner.

The canal was filled with a tense atmosphere before the mountain rain was about to come. Wuming hovered high in the water gorge, suddenly swooped down, flew in a circle, and swooped towards Shen Mu. Shen Mu raised his right hand and let Wuming grab it firmly.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "My dear, is the enemy coming?"

Wuming stared at the direction of the water gorge with eyes like torches, and spread his wings with an extremely mighty expression.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Go back to the sky and play!"

Wuming flew high with flapping wings like someone who understood human language, and turned into a small black spot under the bright moon in a blink of an eye.

Xu Ziling was surprised and said, "Doesn't it only understand Turkic language?"

Shen Mu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know how it understands the ghost. It may be that it listens to me speaking Chinese to people all day long. It has made great achievements in life, and it will be Sinicized in the end, ha!"

Bu Tianzhi smiled wryly and said: "I am so nervous that my palms are sweating now, but you are still in the mood to talk and laugh. Can you pass on my ability of talking and laughing?"

Shen Mu happily said: "Fight two more battles, Uncle Zhi will not take war as a big deal like us, it's a matter of habit or not. Eh! It actually requires us to retreat two miles! What's the matter?"

Xu Ziling smiled and said: "Now Xingzhi is in command instead of you, Shen Mu. The military order is like a mountain, and those who disobey the order will be killed, and the snapshot will be taken!"

Everyone looked up the cliff, under the bright moon, the messenger soldiers on the high cliff were signaling them to retreat two miles.

Shen Mu nodded to Bu Tianzhi, and it was Bu Tianzhi's turn to wave the flag to signal, the 28 ships' flywheels turned sharply, and with the sound of water roaring, they just retreated northward against the current, saving the time of turning around.

Two enemy ships sailed out of the water gorge, one after the other.

Everyone suddenly realized that the two ships were twenty feet apart. If other enemy ships entered the gorge at this distance, there would be no more than four enemy ships in the gorge at any one moment. All of them were destroyed, only four ships were destroyed, and the damage to the enemy navy was minimal.If according to the original plan, the enemy ships enter the gorge and launch a surprise attack immediately, the huge enemy fleet can land outside the gorge to counterattack.

The false action is to make a decisive decision and temporarily change the strategy. After half of the enemy ships have passed the gorge, they will attack with stones and cut the enemy navy into two parts that cannot be seen at the head and tail. Unique types of ships, novel tactics, and quick-fix attacks catch the enemy by surprise.

Bu Tianzhi nodded and said: "Mr. Xu is indeed unique in military strategy, and he lives up to the young commander's entrustment."

Enemy ships sailed out of the water gorge one after another, forming a mighty team, covering the river section in front of you, stretching endlessly, which is daunting.

Nearly forty enemy ships sailed out of the water gorge, with heavy sails and many figures on the deck, obviously because they were gradually approaching Liangdu, they were under strict alert.

On the high cliff, the war drums sounded, and the catapults rang endlessly.

Shen Mu shouted loudly: "Brothers! Kill!"

Thirty soldiers in the steel cabin stepped on their sixty legs at the same time, and the flywheel turned sharply. Under the helm of Chen Laomou, the young marshal's boat turned out of the river bend first, and faced the enemy who was thirty feet away. The first battleship.

Light the torches and light the rockets.

Shen Mu exhaled and raised his voice, the first rocket that opened the battle veil of the two navies shot away from the sun bow, drew a strange trajectory over the canal, hit the full sail of the enemy ship, and the flames exploded. Rise up.

Xu Ziling immediately launched the crossbow machine, and twelve rockets shot away one after another, breaking into the hull, piercing the cabin, or hitting the opponent's mast sail.

The enemy archers were alarmed at this moment and fought back, but under Bu Tianzhi's command, the airship in front nimbly dodged to the shore, and it was the turn of the airship in the rear to greet the already damaged enemy ship.

When the Marshal rounded the first enemy ship, which was engulfed in flames and billowing smoke, the enemy jumped into the canal for their lives.

The enemy ships were in chaos immediately, black smoke filled the canal, and it was impossible to figure out what was going on under the blurred vision.At this time, the arrow machine on the Young Marshal was reloaded with arrows, circled back from the outer gear near the shore, and charged towards the third enemy ship in front.The second ship was served by other friendly ships. After a successful attack, the young commanders and soldiers of the ships were greatly motivated, fighting like a rainbow, and full of confidence.

The enemies on the target enemy ship focused all their attention on the front, and the airship Young Marshal had no lights and moved swiftly. When they were startled by the approach of the Young Marshal, their hatred was hard to return.

The rockets shot away, and the sails and decks caught fire at the same time.

"Boom!" Then there was the terrible rubbing sound of the hull breaking, and sawdust flying across. The sharp and hard steel bow of the Young Marshal forced a big hole in the right side of the enemy ship, and quickly retreated.

Shen Mu swung his bow and hit the three powerful arrows flying, and shouted: "Half of the boat comes with me, and the rest stay here to have a good time."

Bu Tianzhi hastily ordered.

The Young Marshal led thirteen airships and sailed downstream towards the water gorge. Encountered enemy ships along the way, they immediately attacked and left, not daring to stay. Unleash a deadly attack.

Black smoke filled the sky, the enemy navy was in chaos, some turned around and fled, and some crashed into the rocky rocks on the shore in a panic. The majestic fleet was left to be slaughtered.

The Young Marshal led thirteen spaceships into the water gorge.

The six enemy ships in the gorge were either on fire, or were wrecked and sunk. The canal was full of enemies fleeing on both sides of the gorge, shouting loudly.

Shen Mu shouted: "Whether Jiangdu belongs to us depends on this battle!"

The soldiers on board responded in unison, with high morale.

The Young Marshal took the lead and rushed out of the gorge. Shen Mu glanced around and knew that the victory was in his hands. The two Young Marshals under the command of Jiao Hongjin and Luo Qifei shot at the enemy's rear interceptor division with rockets from both sides of the strait. Attacked fiercely, more than a dozen enemy ships were set on fire, and other enemy ships turned around and fled under the unknown shore. The canal finally failed to reach the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, and collided with each other. Shi Youzhi was in a mess, thick black smoke covered the sky and the moon, making it difficult to distinguish ourselves from the enemy.

Shen Mu gave an order, and the crossbow arrows shot at the enemy ship with the momentum of covering the river and covering the sky.

In the Battle of Liangdu Shuixia, the young commander's army won a complete victory, destroying more than [-] enemy ships, and less than [-] enemy ships were able to escape to Zhongli.

Fifteen people were killed and less than half a hundred were injured in the Young Marshal's army. The three airships were destroyed and sunk, but they killed nearly 15 enemies and captured more than [-] enemy soldiers. Keeping Jiangdu is also a problem.

The people had no experience in dealing with surrendered troops, and faced with more than 5000 captured enemies, they felt a headache.

Shen Mu sighed: "I only now understand why Bai Qi killed 40 soldiers after the Battle of Changping in ancient times, because that is the cleanest and most efficient way, otherwise no one would be able to bear to behead them one by one, and I will never sleep peacefully in the future. What to do now? It's not easy to feed them."

Xu Ziling said: "Since we can't kill people, we have to release them, but the fleeing defeated army will cause great disasters to the civilians along the way, we have to plan carefully."

At this time, Xu Xingzhi and five young commanders escorted an enemy general towards them, they took a closer look, and it was Li Zitong's chief general Zuo Xiaoyou.

Shen Mu laughed and said, "So it's General Zuo!"

Zuo Xiaoyou's hands were bound behind his back, he still had an unyielding expression on his face, he snorted coldly and said: "You can kill me without humiliation, if you want to kill me, you can do whatever you want, but don't insult me."

Xu Xingzhi smiled and said: "Xingzhi interrogated the enemy prisoners separately, and only then did he find out that General Zuo was driving among them."

Shen Mu secretly praised Xu Xing's carefulness, gave Zuo Xiaoyou a thumbs up and praised: "Good man! Untie me immediately!"

According to the words, all the soldiers loosened their bonds for Zuo Xiaoyou.

Shen Mu winked at Xu Ziling, moved his arm to Zuo Xiaoyou and said, "Now what we say is only known by God and Earth."

Zuo Xiaoyou cut him off coldly and said: "If Shen Mu, you think that I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, you are very wrong."

Shen Mu said calmly: "Not only is the general not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is also a tough guy. Frankly speaking, when I was young, I still admired you very much. Now it is not to persuade you to surrender, but to have a discussion with you. Say a few words, as long as everyone is happy and sincere, I can immediately let the general go, and let the general take his subordinates back to Zhongli to leave."

Zuo Xiaoyou showed an expression of disbelief.

Shen Mu patted his chest and said: "What I said never counts, the general should know this fact."

Zuo Xiaoyou pondered for a while, showing a bitter expression, and sighed: "Is the young commander trying to frame me?"

Shen Mu smiled and said: "The general is afraid that Li Zitong will mistakenly think that the general has surrendered to me?"

Zuo Xiaoyou said: "If the young commander is Li Zitong, what would you think if all the captured soldiers came back safe and sound?"

Shen Mu wondered: "Then let the general teach me what to do?"

Zuo Xiaoyou stared at him for a while, as if guessing his sincerity, but did not speak.

Shen Mudao: "Frankly speaking, after this battle, Li Zitong can only sit and wait to die. Hainan Island has now fallen into the hands of the Song Clan. Compared with Song Que, Li Zitong, Shen Faxing, and Fu Gong Er are just clowns. General You don’t want to surrender me, not because of Li Zitong, but because you are optimistic about Li Shimin, right? But Li Shimin is not yet the real son, and that person may be called Li Jiancheng. Can I be the opponent of the Turkic people? I am not aggressive, I just don’t want the great rivers and mountains to be destroyed by the Turkic cavalry!"

Zuo Xiaoyou smiled wryly and said: "Who says I don't want to surrender you. But most of the soldiers here are brothers who have followed me Zuo Xiaoyou for many years. Our family is all in Zhongli, so we have to think about them. Sigh! To become a master, the young commander should know better than me."

Shen Mu rejoiced and said: "If the general has this intention, then everything will be easy, trust me! I will definitely come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to capture Zhongli, but also to protect the family of the general and his brothers .”

Zuo Xiaoyou said: "To this day, I am afraid that there is no one in the world who dares to underestimate the young commander. As far as the current battle is concerned, Li Shimin is also inferior to the young general's amazing use of troops."

Shen Mu secretly felt ashamed, the victory in this battle was extremely dangerous and lucky, there was only a thin line between success and failure, it all depended on Xu Ziling's efforts to turn the tide, and completely reversed the situation that was absolutely inferior.With a dry cough, he said modestly: "This trip is just a bit of luck."

Zuo Xiaoyou didn't expect him to be "victorious without arrogance" at such a young age, which is very rare, he said happily: "The young commander seems to have some inquiries just now, I wonder what it is?"

Shen Mu nodded and said: "I want to ask if there is that kid from Xiangyu Mountain who is behind the scenes when you come to attack Liangdu today."

Zuo Xiaoyou said in astonishment: "How can the young commander even explain such a secret matter in one sentence?"

Shen Mu let go of the burden in his heart, because it was finally confirmed that he was not betrayed by his good friend, he put his arms around Zuo Xiaoyou's shoulders, walked towards Xu Ziling who was talking to Xu Xingzhi on the other side, and said: "Soldiers are precious and fast, General Zuo was not betrayed by us at all. Prisoners, they just escaped in a bit of a panic, broke through a few pairs of shoes, and managed to lead five thousand men back to Zhongli, right?"

Zuo Xiaoyou understood what he heard, and nodded in agreement.

Shen Mu smiled and said, "Li Zitong has given me the guts to kill him. As long as my army overwhelms the border, he will surely flee back to Jiangdu. Isn't everything going to be solved? From today onwards, we are all brothers, sharing good fortune and bad luck together." Dang, what I said never counts.”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zuo Xiaoyou led his men back to Zhongli. Although Li Zitong was not suspicious, he blamed Zuo Xiaoyou because the navy was almost annihilated and suffered serious losses. He demoted him from general to general. Shen Mu.

Ten days later, Shen Mubing divided into two groups, sending troops from Donghai and Liangdu.

The East China Sea army of 1 people took forty warships from the sea to Jiangdu, led by Xuan Yong, Chen Changlin, Gao Zhandao, Niu Fengyi, Zha Jie and others.

Another branch of the army went south from the canal by water and land, with a strength of 8000 people, including the airship that frightened Li Zitong.

Li Zitong was shocked when he heard the letter, and led his [-] soldiers to leave Zhongli in a hurry and return to guard Jiangdu.Zhongli was still guarded by Zuo Xiaoyou, Gaoyou was presided over by another general Qin Chaowen, and the remaining sixty naval ships were all concentrated to Jiangdu to deal with the young commander from the East China Sea.

In fact, at this time, the troops of Zhongli and Gaoyou should not be underestimated, each of them was around [-] people, and they coordinated with each other to resist and prevent Shen Mu from going south to attack Jiangdu.In terms of strategy, Li Zitong did not make a mistake. As long as he can defeat the expeditionary force of the Young Marshal Army from the East China Sea, he can return to the north to face Shen Mu and Xu Ziling.
