Feng Jiye's department used sand boats to carry artillery and a large amount of baggage, and the march was very slow. After chasing for three days, he didn't chase anything, but burned, killed and robbed all the way.
Three days later, Feng Jiye felt as if he had walked into an uninhabited wilderness, and the people along the river had already escaped cleanly when they heard the news.
He stood on the deck, full of plants and trees, green fields and lush forests, and the pale reeds on the shallows by the river. If he just stood on the boat and enjoyed the scenery, it would have a unique artistic conception.
The sound of the oars stirring in the water seemed a little lonely, and the birds that were clamoring made the sky very empty.More than 2,000 Xu's army on the shore gathered together, but there seemed to be not many people.
At this time, except for the concentrated population cities and markets, the people in the countryside really seemed sparse.
But Feng Jiye had no intention of enjoying the scenery, and such a bland and boring march made him feel anxious.
He stood bored for a long time, and a small boat was rowing towards him. A warrior climbed onto the deck of the flagship, bowed with his fists, straightened his waist and pointed to the northwest. General Feng, please see, the river channel ahead is unusual.
Feng Jiye looked at it for a while and said, "Is the white thing the reed water?"
Wu Fudao: That is, there are three tributaries in the three-mile-long river in front and behind, and the waterways are complex; and there are large areas of reeds on the river surface.The forests on both sides are deep and dense.This terrain is very easy to hide water, land and horses, so you must be careful.
Feng Jiye had a serious expression and pondered: There are too many woods and reeds, and the scouts could not search for it for a while.There are no hundreds of people spending days or nights and they can't find anything.
Wu Fu said: General Feng is wise!
The fleet and troops continued to move forward slowly, and the boundless reeds and jungle appeared in sight more and more clearly.Another general approached the flagship on a small boat and asked Feng Jiye whether he would stop marching.
Feng Jiye thought for a moment and said: Keep going!
General... The general said.
Feng Jiye said irritably: What are the people and horses doing when they stay here?
The general hurriedly advised: Beware of ambushing troops!
Feng Jiye waved his hand: Water comes and soil comes and the soldiers come and the generals block it!Order the entire army to be on guard!
Get order!
The sound of bells and drums and shouts on the river surface were lively for a while, and then it gradually became much quieter.
The oars on ships of all sizes still stirred the river water without any speed and slowness, and the boats floating on the cool green water continued to flow upwards.
Feng Jiye could no longer dislike the stuffy weather, so he took off his helmet and put his hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist.His eyes were very slowly staring at and observing everywhere.
Everyone around seemed to hold their breath, waiting to successfully pass through this unseen water.
A guard on the deck freed up a hand and silently wiped the sweat from the brim of the iron helmet.
Time passes very slowly.
A long time later, suddenly there were many people shouting from a ship ahead.
Feng Jiye immediately turned his head and asked loudly: What happened?
Someone replied: General, the ship seemed to have hit something, so I can only wait for the people ahead to report it!
Feng Jiye made a quick decision and said: Ring the bell and ordered all ships to stop moving forward!
The river surface became noisy again.
After a while, two bamboo rafts emerged from the reeds and water grass. Then more slab boats and bamboo rafts appeared on the river surface at once. First, they headed straight for a wounded ship with a crooked mast, and shouted loudly from all over the place.
Feng Jiye shouted: Prepare for war!
He looked up and saw that a row of triangle flags on the flagship had just been replaced with black flags indicating that they would stop moving forward, and the continuous thrust of the bronze bell had not stopped.
At this time, the drummer in the cabin again dongdongdong...beat the war drum.
There were shouts of killing everywhere on the river, and there was a lot of noise. Soon, suddenly, the sound of cannons... suddenly came in. The mother-child cannons and muskets on the sand ships rang out, and the smoke spread rapidly on the water like white fog.
Bang bang bang... Feng Jiye heard the sound of firearms volleys in the woods on the shore.
Xu Jun's infantry fired their guns in a volley, so the explosions in the forest were heard, and the sounds came one after another.
Feng Jiye stood steadily on the deck with his sword, observing the scene in front of him with cold eyes.
He believed that the open water surface would facilitate the use of firepower for the ammunition weapons, and the situation should be slightly better; the most worrying thing is that the troops and horses in the woods on the shore were very dense, with too many obstacles and could not avoid short-term fighting!
It is obvious that the close contact is very effective.
At this time, someone rowed over and shouted: General Feng, there are sharp wooden stakes in the river, and two boats hit and seeped water!
Feng Jiye responded with a wave of his hand.
A deafening explosion on the flagship deck made his ears buzz.
After the firecrackers were fired, other loaded mother-child gun mounts were pushed to the side of the ship again.
The soldiers shouted and pulled out the bright copper cannon from the cast iron cannon and replaced it with a new cannon.
After Feng Jiye led his troops, he learned about these imperial guard weapons. The power and range of the mother-child cannons are far less powerful than that of the cast copper cannons, but they are lighter and can be put on small boats, and it is enough to deal with the sampans of the Jiaozhou navy.
The smoke of gunfire drifted a little after the artillery fire. Feng Jiye vaguely saw the enemy soldiers holding wood on the water and shouting. The wooden boards and bamboo poles on the river were everywhere, in a mess.
A large fire was lit in the reeds not far away, but there was no wind in the air, so the fire was difficult to spread.The surroundings were simply in chaos.
put!A general pointed his sword at the boat in the distance.
More than a dozen sharpshooters pulled the bowstrings, and their heads held high and their chests were almost the same. Feng Jiye could see that the imperial guards were really well-trained, and the sound of the strings was like the vibration of the strings.
The screams of being caught in the distance were soon covered by the explosion of light cannons that ejaculated flames.
In less than an hour, the sampan bamboo rafts on the river no longer appeared, and the enemy soldiers ambushed and besieged in such a way.There are artillery fire and bows in the distance, muskets in the near distance, and shields cannot withstand it!
The surrounding warships shouted to repel the enemy soldiers.
Feng Jiye asked: What about the people on the shore?
The smoke of gunpowder passed by, and a small boat was rowing. The people standing on the boat could not get on the flagship, so they clasped their fists and shouted: The enemy soldiers had not defeated our heavy infantry formation and fled!
Feng Jiye breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and looked back at the imperial guards and generals around him and said happily: The troops of the Hu Ben Army are really amazing, and I still underestimate you.
When the generals heard the exaggeration, they shouted: Our infantry and soldiers lined up to resist the elite heavy cavalry of the Liao Kingdom. They can beat them to the point of no firearms!
Hahaha……
The sound of cannons gradually stopped, and there were only sporadic sounds of guns.
Xu Jun cleaned up the battlefield, rescued the wounded and those who fell into the water, killed the enemy soldiers who had not escaped, and stayed on the river where the stakes were set for a long time before passing through this dangerous place.
When it was, the sun had set to the treetops to the west.
Feng Jiye sent a commander to camp with a wide view.
That night, the generals gathered in the central army's tent and discussed it. Three or four days after leaving Taiping Village, everyone gradually became confused.
A general muttered: At this moment, nothing can catch up with you. Only by waiting for the enemy troops to harass you can fight.Becoming farther and farther away from the camp, going deeper into the enemy territory, and then going back if you won a few games.
Feng Jiye stroked his palm and said loudly: The chaotic troops along the way are all rats. He leads elite soldiers to work hard for this little military merit, and undoubtedly drives tigers and kills chickens!
Everyone asked: What are General Feng’s ideas?
Feng Jiye opened a picture with simple lines and tapped his fingers three times in a row, Luocheng!
Wow!The tent immediately boiled, and everyone's expressions became exaggerated. Some were shocked, some were confused, and some were just shaking their heads.
The civil servant of the army immediately objected: No!We are the vanguard army, with very few troops and troops, thousands of miles away from the country, and the mountains are high and the sea is wide. We have not decided to fight the decisive battle with the Jiaozhou army in advance, let alone attacking the enemy's capital as soon as we come?!
Bang!Feng Jiye raised his hand and threw the iron cup to the ground, and the object was immediately flattened.
He was furious and said in a hurry: I am the main general!It is the Chief Secretary Zheng Xianchun and Deputy General Zhang Jiankui who are present. Can they have the final say?Ah!
The tent was silent immediately, and the civil servant stopped talking.Of course, no one from other generals spoke on this firehead.
Unexpectedly, Feng Jiye was just a moody person. He was still furious just now, and he said seriously: The enemy soldiers are vulnerable, but we are not familiar with the place, we can't find them, and we can't catch up.However, humanity means that monks can’t run away from temples. There is a place where we make achievements... Luocheng!
Three thousand essence armor is enough to destroy the country!Feng Jiye's eyes were red and his emotions were uncontrollable. I looked at it more than once. With the dignified formation, the enemy's soldiers were not the opponent.We can easily defeat the enemy soldiers. Now there are some heavy artillery in the cabin, so why can't we attack the city?
A middle-aged general advised carefully: General Feng is brave and resourceful, and quite courageous.But if we attack important cities, we must first siege the city. We have less than 3,000 people, so how can we siege the city?Under the city of Chenbing, there are enemy territory on all sides, and there is no food route or retreat route. The scouts cannot move at any step. Even if they are a tiger and wolf army, how can they fight under the high wall?
Feng Jiye said: The Luocheng Fortifications are far from the cities in the Central Plains, don’t worry.As for the surrounding strongholds, isn’t it the place where our troops “expropriate” food?The Dingkou you have obtained can also be driven up to dig soil to attack the city...
Without waiting for his generals to speak, he immediately asked firmly: Are you not moved at all for the destruction of the country (Jiaozhou has been established as a country in Daquyue)?Three thousand essences destroyed the country and spread throughout the world. Wouldn't the people of billions of gigantic dynasties enjoy the talk?The glorious family and success are today!
Obviously, what Feng Jiye said before was not very useful, but this last sentence really touched the generals present.Are military generals not greedy for merit?It was like the sun rising from the west!
Only the civil servants of the army said: The military power is in the hands of General Feng. If General Feng insists on his own actions, the subordinates have to send a quick horse to respond immediately and inform Zheng Changshi.
Feng Jiye said annoyedly: Damn, do whatever you want!
Three days later, Feng Jiye felt as if he had walked into an uninhabited wilderness, and the people along the river had already escaped cleanly when they heard the news.
He stood on the deck, full of plants and trees, green fields and lush forests, and the pale reeds on the shallows by the river. If he just stood on the boat and enjoyed the scenery, it would have a unique artistic conception.
