Chapter 61 The Battle of Yiluo (Part [-])

In the fifth year of Yunguo 230, Emperor Luo Fan passed away and Luo Kai ascended the throne.In the same year, Chen Jingcheng and Zhao Feng led an army of 14 to raise the flag to serve the king, which was known as the "Battle of Restoration" in history.

---- "General History New Dynasty Biography"

There are a total of 42 cities in the sixteen prefectures of Kyushu under the jurisdiction of Yunguo, and there are two garrisons of Zhenyuan King's army. One is Yanzhou in the northwest, and the other is Jiangzhou in the southwest. Together with the rebels, these two states will be taken over immediately. Waste the power of ashes.Wanzhou and Tongzhou, which are located in the west and adjacent to the two states, were also successfully captured within one month.

Chen Jingcheng, Zhao Feng and a group of generals were discussing matters in the camp when they suddenly heard: "Third brother!" He looked up and saw his brother coming.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, you're finally here!" Chen Jingcheng stepped forward, beaming with joy.

"Isn't that right, long time no see, Xiao Cheng." Xue Yunyi, dressed in men's attire, stepped forward and said.

The ones behind them are Bai Anjin, Lan Yiran and Liu Zhishan, the little man in Liu Zhishan's arms said obediently, "Uncle Jingcheng."

Xiao Yijie said: "There is one more person."

I saw a woman coming forward from the crowd. She swept her brows lightly and lightened her red makeup, but she still looked charming and graceful.

"Brother."

Suddenly Zhao Feng's eyes turned red. He stepped forward to look at his only sister, Zhao Hanyu, who was also Concubine Li. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and after a while, he said, "Little sister, are you okay?"

Zhao Hanyu nodded, "I'm fine, thanks to Yi Jie and the others, otherwise I don't know when our brother and sister will see each other again."

When the siblings met, the scene immediately became warmer. Although Xiao Yijie couldn't bear to destroy it, there were more important things in front of him: "The palace is surrounded by many things. Fortunately, the concubines of the former dynasty were placed in the Taoist temple, which is convenient for us to save Hanyu." She looked at Luo Qingshuang with apologetic eyes, "It's just that the Zhenyuan Palace is heavily guarded, comparable to a palace, but Shibo has sent us a message, and he is fine for the time being."

Luo Qingshuang's right hand clenched into a fist, and said: "It's good if you come, I will personally rescue my father and king. Right now we have four of the Kyushu, and Luo Kai has five. Now the most important thing The purpose is to obtain Bianzhou..."

Luo Qingshuang had been silent all year round and didn't like to speak, but now she suddenly talked eloquently, which immediately frightened her fellow apprentices. She saw that everyone looked strange, and said: "Why, is there something wrong with what I said?"

Led by Chen Jingcheng, everyone shook their heads quickly.

Luo Qingshuang was noncommittal when she saw this, and continued to talk about her own opinions. She was wearing a cyan velvet pleated skirt, and she was full of courage, thoughtfulness and decisiveness when giving instructions on the battlefield. Chen Jingcheng stood aside and watched, only thinking that her senior sister was full of charm.

Bianzhou, located in the center of Kyushu, has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.After the first emperor Luocheng ruled the world, he built a Yiluo Canal from Yundu to Bianzhou, which connected the five major water systems of Haihe River, Bohe River, Lihe River, Sujiang River and Quhui River in the whole Yunguo. It has become an important transportation route in Yundu, and it has become even more prosperous since its development.At the same time, the first emperor established a water army under the direct command of the emperor - the Yiluo Navy, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking by water.

It is imminent to seize Bianzhou and build a navy.However, most of the rebels are from the north and do not know how to swim. It may be difficult to defeat the Yiluo navy in a short time.

"The general thought that we could connect the boats with iron cables and lay wooden planks for stability." A lieutenant suggested.

The three of Xiao Yijie's eyes lit up after hearing this, and they said in unison: "Battle of Chibi!"

During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao sent his troops to the south and met Liu and Sun's allied forces at Chibi. They faced each other across the river. Most of Cao Cao's soldiers were from the north, so he ordered Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to train soldiers, but Zhou Yu used a trick to kill them. general.After that, Cao Cao adopted Pang Tong's suggestion, connected the warships and laid wooden boards, and finally the army was trapped on the boats and burned Chibi.

"But the ones who are not familiar with water are our team."

The corners of Chen Jingcheng's mouth turned up, "Then let's have a reverse version of the Battle of Chibi."

"But we are still short of Pang Tong and Huang Gai." Feng Si looked at his boss.

Xiao Yijie thought for a moment, and said: "I have already thought about this person, you just give it to me."

The three of them told the generals about their plan, and everyone raised their opinions. After some discussion, they finally settled on a secret letter, and the people from Shadow Gate sent it to Yundu non-stop.

云都

Luo Kai was wearing a yellow robe and sitting in the imperial study room, correcting the memorial, when he heard the eunuch in charge say that Shen Jingzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, asked to see him.

Luo Kai looked up and saw the person coming, he lowered his head to correct the memorial, and said, "What's the matter, Ai Qing, seeing me?"

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, the humble minister saw that the Holy Majesty was working day and night on state affairs, and also worried about the rebels. The Holy Body was really busy, so he wanted to share the worries for the Holy Majesty. The humble minister thought hard and came up with a plan, hoping to defeat the rebels in a single battle. thief!"

"Oh?" After hearing this, Luo Kai put down the brush in his hand and looked up at Shen Jingzhi.

"There are elite sailors in the holy place, but the rebels are mostly northern soldiers who are not familiar with water. If the holy man doesn't take this opportunity to get familiar with water warfare after the bandit soldiers are trained, then it will be difficult to retreat from the enemy."

Shen Jingzhi looked up at Luo Kai, saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, and said, "Ai Qing continued."

"Weichen met the rebel Xiao Yijie in the old days, so he wrote a letter to them, asking them to connect the warships with iron cables and lay wooden boards to facilitate the northern soldiers to fight. They are located in the lower reaches of the canal, so the terrain is relatively low. In the season, the northwest wind often blows, and then the humble ministers will pretend to surrender, drive a boat full of firewood and grease, and burn them all with a fire!"

Luo Kai was eager to get rid of the hidden danger of the rebels, and after thinking about it again and again, he felt that this plan was feasible, so he hurriedly sent Shen Jingzhi as an imperial envoy, and sent another [-] soldiers to supervise the battle.

Four days later, Xiao Yijie received Shen Jingzhi's letter, and the rebel army began to look for craftsmen to make wooden boards with great fanfare, and connected [-] large warships with small ones, while secretly training a team's water skills.On the other hand, the Yiluo Marine Division ordered craftsmen to rush to make bows and arrows day and night.

Everyone in the rebel army performed their duties and were busy. Soldiers coming and going could always see three figures fiddling with a lot of wood in a large open space behind the camp. Everyone knew one of them, and that was their general, Chen Jingcheng.

"It's been two days, is it going to work?" Feng Si is most afraid of the heat, the open space where they live has no shade around, it's really hot.

Chen Jingcheng's hair is golden under the sun, she is used to it, but she has no patience!

Xiao Yijie kept staring at the semi-finished catapult they made, very discouraged.

Xue Yunyi happened to pass by unsteadily, and when he saw a few people, he walked unsteadily in front of them and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"We are making catapults, but the beef tendon is not flexible enough. The catapults we make can't travel far enough, and they are easy to break."

Xue Yunyi looked at the catapult in front of him and kept nodding, "You are so smart that you can even make this guy's style. Don't you know that it will be more elastic if you apply pigskin glue on the tendon?"

Feng Si shook his head, and continued: "I've tried it, but it's not enough, the flexibility is still not enough." The catapults they made had to be small so that they could be easily hidden on warships, and at the same time they had to guarantee the range, so the requirements for flexibility were very high. .

"Oh," Xue Yunyi nodded, "Then your smart senior sister told you that there is a herb called Gu Gucao, and the concoction made from it is mixed with pigskin glue to make the glue softer, and at the same time... ..."

Before Xue Yunyi finished speaking, the three left in a hurry.

"How dare you leave without saying hello to your dearest and most beloved senior sister!" Xue Yunyi shouted standing still, and what responded to her was gusts of northwest wind. 67/86 First page Previous page 6566676869707172 Next page Last page
