Chapter 43 Surprise
At the mouth of the river, corpses were everywhere. The Linyi army, which had gathered here in a hurry, wanted to take the risk and defend, but was instantly collapsed by the enemy who was flowing upstream through the mouth of the sea.
The sky-blasting thunder, which has become a common weapon on the battlefield in the Central Plains, is a horrifying magic for the Linyi army. The enemy opposite them is under the banner of Zhou State, but they can use such magic, which must be the demons and monsters summoned by the Zhou army.
Due to the size limitation, the direct lethality of the sky-bombing thunder thrown by manpower is not very large. It is just a killing and killing point. Its "soft killing" is also a scaring effect, especially for those enemies who have never seen the sky-bombing thunder, it is really terrifying.
The generals of Linyi State were optimistic at first and wanted to give the invading enemy a headache, but now they are about to collapse. Whenever the thunder explodes in one place, the army there will collapse.
The Zhou army ships docked, and countless soldiers boarded the land. In addition to the official army wearing black military uniforms, there were also teams of different uniforms. They were clan soldiers sent by the Chen clan of the Longzhou and Feng Xian clan of Gaoliang to assist in the war, and of course, the teams of other leaders also included.
King Yuwen of Xiyang, Chen Fozhi, head of Chen family in the Chen family in the Longzhou, and Feng Xian of Gaoliang, stood on a large ship, looking at the mess on the land ahead, and each breathed a sigh of relief.
Yuwen Wen was relieved because his attack was smooth, while Chen Fozhi and Feng Hun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief because Zhou's thunder was not used on him.
A few months ago, the Zhou army captured Dayu Ridge and captured Shixing and Qujiang, and headed towards the downstream Zhenyang. When Fan Yu attacked, the soldiers of the Chen family and Feng Xian family resisted side by side with the Chen army, and the other party did not use terrifying weapons such as Sky Thunder at that time.
Thinking about it now, if we had faced the attack of such a weapon, we might have been much better, and it would be inevitable that we would collapse at one touch.
Chen Fozhi was even more touched. At that time, he led the elephant soldiers to attack the Zhou army. If the other party used the sky-bombing thunder, his elephant soldiers would probably collapse on the spot. Now it seems that the proud elephant soldiers of Linyi Kingdom would probably end up in a flash against the sky-bombing thunder on its own.
The concerns about Linyi's elephant soldiers when they sent troops seemed to be nothing more than annoying.
"Feng Fujun, is the boatman's physical strength enough?"
"Don't worry, you have enough manpower and physical strength, and you'll change it immediately."
"This is where the two rivers meet. We must be wary of two enemy arson ships upstream. Feng Fujun is responsible for the dispatch of ships."
"The officials will receive the order."
"Envoy Chen, the official army will attack the city later. You and the leaders will need the assistance of you and the leaders. All dispatches on the shore must obey the arrangements of the official army. Those who violate the order will be killed without any attention."
"yes!"
When the ship was docked, Yuwen Wen took the lead in landing. Looking at Dian Chong City in the distance, he did not dare to be careless, so he arranged various matters on the spot.
The other general of the Hulin Army was commanded by Tian Zhengyue, who was under his command of the Hulin Army as the backbone, and the Chen family of the Longzhou and other tribe soldiers assisted. Feng Hun was responsible for water defense, and the other Hulin Army was naturally responsible for intercepting the peripheral reinforcements.
Yuwen Wen was in Hekou and was in the middle of the dispatch. Feng Ang, the son of the Feng family, and the representative of the Ning clan of Anzhou, were in Linyipu, and led the mixed fleet of Feng and Ning clans.
In short, there was no real regular army of Zhou State in this beheading operation. The core was Yuwen Wen's private army, the Hulin Army, and the army was the Chen family, Feng Xian family, Ning clan soldiers and other lie soldiers.
The marching commander Yang Ji led his troops to Fanyu in Guangzhou, and the marching commander Murong Sanzang led his troops to Longbian in Jiaozhou, as well as the Ning clan soldiers in Anzhou and the "Yi soldiers" in Huangzhou to help. Yuwen Wen has used his troops to the limit in order to "treat the root cause" for the situation in Jiaozhou.
Linyi State has developed from the disease of tinea scabies in the Later Han Dynasty to the current confidant trouble. If the situation in Jiaozhou is stable and there is a chance to recuperate, it is necessary to solve the Linyi State in the south that is undying to annex Jiaozhou.
How to solve it is a problem. Friction at the border is just to scratch the itch through the boots. The best way is to carry out the "decapitation battle" and attack the Linyi Kingdom Dian Chong, causing the opponent to suffer a severe injury and have no time to invade the north.
The Central Plains army used troops to attack Linyi for the past few years, but it was not without breaking its capital. More than a hundred years ago, the Song army advanced south under the leadership of the governor of Jiaozhou. First, they captured the important towns in the northern part of Linyi, which was the Xijuan of the Rinan County and County in the past, and then went south to attack the capital of the Kingdom Dianchong.
It took about several months, but Yuwen Wen didn't have that much time because his soldiers were all from other places and were not adapted to the climate in Jiaozhou. If time goes on for a long time, something will happen.
To raid, you have to take the risk of taking the sea route, bypass the heavily defended area, cross the sea and go straight into Linyipu, and go upstream to attack the capital of Linyi Kingdom, Dianchong, giving the King of Linyi a surprise.
Yuwen Wen decided to take this risk, and the reason for the war had been considered. Linyi Kingdom was to accommodate the remnants of Wanchun Kingdom, and he took advantage of the Zhou army's defense change at the northern foot of Hengshan Mountain to abduct lost soldiers, refusing the "legitimate request" of Zhou army to enter the area to find people. Therefore...
So the main question is how to choose sea routes.
There are two sea routes, one is a relatively safe coastal route. Once a hurricane is encountered, you can dock immediately, but there is a port of Linyi Kingdom along the coast, so the movements of the fleet cannot be concealed and cannot achieve the effect of surprise attacks.
The other is the far-sea route. The fleet revolves around the Jiuzhou Island Stone at the eastern end of Hainan Island where Yazhou is located. After passing the elephant stone (southeast end of Hainan Island), it sails directly to the southwest and can directly reach Zhanbulao Mountain outside Linyipu.
This route is part of the "Tonghaiyi Road" route, and it is generally a southbound route from Fanyu to the South China Sea, and a northbound route from the South China Sea countries to Fanyu, usually taking the route from Jiaozhou Longbian.
There are relatively few ships coming from Hainan Island to Fanyu from the south, so the chance of whereabouts is leaked is very small, not to mention that the fleet has Clippers as pioneers, intercepting all suspicious ships. Feng Xian and Ning's large-scale sea trade fleets are his biggest reliance.
So Yuwen Wen led the Hulin Army to board the ship in Longbian, set out in the northeast, making the illusion of returning to Fanyu to confuse Linyi's country's detailed works, and then arrived at Xuwen (the southernmost end of the Leizhou Peninsula), joining with the army gathered here, and bypassing the eastern end of Hainan Island to launch a raid.
From Fanyu to Linyipu, you can take this route and occupy the mountain without occupies a mountain. It takes only ten days to get a good wind. At this time, the wind direction is southeastern wind. Although it is not a good wind, the hard sailing ship in the Central Plains is good at using all sides of the wind. At this time, it is just that it takes a few more days on the road.
Feng Xian and Ning have been engaged in maritime trade for hundreds of years. They have a lot of experienced sailors and are very familiar with this route. Once they find that the sky changes halfway, they can immediately turn to Hainan Island or the northwest Jiaozhou coastal coastal areas.
The chance of success is very high, Yuwen Wen is willing to take a risk. Although he leaned southward when he arrived at the mountain and sea area of Bilaolao, he successfully attacked Linyipu. With the large amount of unused thunder in his hands, he wanted to surprise the King of Linyi.
