Chapter 580 The Battle of Baling

Xiao Yi's Xiangdong Palace, Liu Yishou felt very unlucky and was unwilling to live in it.I just found a big family's other courtyard in Linxiang City to live temporarily.

At night, while Liu Yishou was looking at the map in the study, he asked Yang Jiang, who was pretending to be a soldier, to write letters for him.

"You have hands and feet yourself, why did you ask me to write a letter?"

Yang Jiang looked at Liu Yishou with displeasure and asked.

"My handwriting, Xiao Yi may have already imitated it, but your handwriting is still a secret to them. This is called the three caves of the cunning rabbit.

What do you ask so much nonsense for? I say what you write and it's over. "

Liu Yishou waved his hands and said, without raising his head to look at Yang Jiang.

"Okay, okay, I'm really afraid of you, every time I change all kinds of tricks, I don't know how many tricks there are.

Tell me, how do you write it? "

The sheep ginger has been ground into ink, and the large paper is spread out to prepare for writing.

Although Webster's fleet is larger, they seem to have an irreversible disadvantage: they are located in the lower reaches of the river.

The opponent also seemed to have plans for a showdown. They didn't dodge at all, and they didn't shoot with bows and crossbows. They also seemed to want to rely on side-to-side battles to decide the outcome.

Occupying this position means: the enemy can set fire to their ships, but they cannot set fire to enemy ships.

Everyone is ready to fight hard, what the hell are you doing to write a submissive letter, Xiao Yi will only laugh at you when he sees it!

"Oh, you all learned Yuan Yuyi's tricks!" Liu Yishou, who hadn't touched a woman for a long time, was dizzy for a while, and sighed to suppress the restlessness in his heart.

Yang Jiang nodded impatiently.

A boarding soldier of Webster's navy shouted loudly, because he saw a few soldiers of the Xiangdong King's navy jumping out of the boat into the water and trying to escape desperately. Nothing to say.

"Here!"

However, due to the restrictions of military orders, the fleet of Webster's Navy does not have many ships each time they go to battle!
Then they fought against Wang Lin's water army, and they lost more than they won.The navy fleet involved in escorting the tank ships also suffered heavy losses.

……

Don't say that Webster's is not a part of Liu Yishou at all, even if the other party is a core direct line like Yang Zhong, it will be very uncomfortable to read a similar supervisor's letter.He will be outside, and military orders will not be accepted.You are not on the scene to supervise the battle, what the hell are you beeping while hiding!

"Dong dong dong dong dong dong!"

The Webster's sailor was not the only one who discovered it. Almost all the Webster's sailors who boarded the ship found that there was no one on board the enemy ship, and the few people who operated the boat before jumped into the water and ran away.

Everyone set the boat on fire, so why don't you dive into the water and run away, waiting for yourself to become a barbecue?
"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

Wei An ordered with a wave of his hand.

As for Liu Yishou's military order, it's just that he doesn't understand the actual situation in Yingzhou. As long as he can win, the other party can't say anything.

"I said you write it."

"Brother Qifu (Xiao Yi's nickname) Yours sincerely, I am the son-in-law of the Xiao family, and you are the brother of the A-Yi family. We are part of the same family. When we meet in battle, the Xiangjiang River weeps and the Yangtze River weeps. Brothers kill each other. , Why bother fighting in the same room?

Yang Jiang sighed and muttered to himself.Although it was just joking, it was hard to hide the slight loss in my heart.

All the buildings and boats in the King's Water Army in Eastern Hunan were beating loudly!For a moment, there was a hustle and bustle, and the arrogance was overwhelming.

Yang Jiang groaned and spread out the paper, ready to write a letter.

Yang Jiang hugged Liu Yishou's arm, making him rub against his chest, pleading.

This time, the general's order has once again been conveyed to you, strictly prohibiting a decisive battle with the bandit army, and not rushing out of the Yangtze River Estuary to enter Dongting Lake. Violators of military law will do so.

Liu Yishou stood up and stretched himself.

"Just tell me, at worst, I'll play that with you later... It's okay to play a few more times."

Xiao Yi's army of thieves fought in boats and oars, and they were good at water warfare.Although Webster's navy has large ships, it has not been drilled for a long time, so it may not be its opponent.If you rush to a decisive battle with him, you may have something unexpected happen.

These routine operations have mature coping methods among the navy.

"No, it was tricked, the boat is empty!"

Seeing the enemy's fireboat attacking again, no one was in the mood to resist any more. They all jumped into the river desperately and swam towards the north of the river.

These days, Qiu Ba and the others are lawless, and if they have soldiers, they are the grass-headed kings. If they say they rebel, they rebel!

Otherwise, the elite navy of the King of Eastern Hunan can "let you come as many ways as you want, and I will only go all the way", see the tricks.This is the brilliance of Wang Sengbian in the layout of this battle.

The messenger beside Wei An yelled into the cabin.Wei An stood motionless at the bow of the boat, not seeming to panic.

Soon, the soldiers rowing and stepping on the wheels in the cabin were frantically exerting their strength, and the Webster's navy fleet accelerated and approached the Xiangdong King's navy.

"That's why soldiers never tire of cheating. They're idle anyway. Since you're here this time, you can watch the show on the sidelines. There's nothing to worry about."

Since it cannot be hit, it is meaningless to ignite it.These fire boats are like small fish passing through a fishing net, heading directly downstream, who knows where they will drift!
The "ultimate move" of Wang Shuijun in eastern Hunan seems to have been cracked in this way.

Yang Jiang put aside her distracting thoughts and continued to ask.

I hope Brother Qifu will think about it. "

At the bow of the flagship, Wei An, who saw the movement of the enemy, gave orders to the lieutenant.

The enemy's navy looks decent, but it's actually a large ship with nothing inside, just a few people who are responsible for raising the sails and beating the drums!

"What's the matter, don't you have anything to ask?"

Many high-rise ships in the fleet are as high as five or six floors, and some of them even carry "shooting sticks".When there is an enemy boat next to it, the stick will drop and smash the adjacent boats directly.

Without blushing, Liu Yishou asked Yang Jiang to write this brazen letter for him.

Finding that Yang Jiang hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yishou put down the map in his hand, looked at the troubled girl and asked in confusion.

In the blink of an eye, it was close to hand to hand.

Others don't know how rampant these generals are, but Yang Jiang knows it. She also saw her father Yang Kan killing people with white knives in and out with red knives, and she also knows how her father sold the emperor of the Xiao family to Liu Yishou.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.In many cases, it's not that you don't have to fight if you don't want to fight!

At noon that day, there was little wind on the Yangtze River, which can almost be described as sunny and sunny.

Thinking of her coin father, Yang Jiang felt that Liu Yishou and him were really not in the same family, and would not enter the same family.

"Ah Lang, you can write this letter..."

You and I are facing each other with the tip of the needle, the loved ones will be hurt and the enemies will be quick!
If we all put down our arms, we can discuss again, and turn our arms into treasures, so we don't need to fight to the death.

As a last resort, Webster's navy could only mobilize part of its forces to intercept Wang Lin's navy.

It's okay, who wants to be angry with you?

After all, the money Liu Yishou gave Yang Kan was more than enough to build a few golden Buddhas.

Wei An commanded the soldiers on board to separate the two tied ships.There are many generals like him in the Webster fleet.Some soldiers were pole poles, some were putting out fires, and some were cutting ropes.Some were scared and dumbfounded.

If you can respect the Jiankang court as Zhengshuo, then you will still be a vassal king, and the soldiers under your command will not be held accountable. The court can also save countless military funds and have both loyalty and righteousness. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

Liu Yishou is such a smart person, who can coax a few girls to let go of their dignity and have a silver party together. Could that be a reckless man who doesn't understand people's hearts?
"Wechsler has an army in his hands. If you write such an unreasonable letter and send it, aren't you afraid that they will vote for Xiao Yi?"

Wei An cursed disdainfully.

"I just think... the one who should be with Alang should be my father, not me. You two are so well matched, but it seems that I am a tool that can only give birth to children."

When Webster's navy retreated back, they ran out to make trouble again, making Wei An's head burnt.After discussing for a while, everyone felt that it was not an option to fight like this, and the main force of the King's Water Army in Eastern Hunan had to be eliminated once and for all.

In a word, the transportation of grain and grass from Yuzhang County to Linxiang is already the limit, and Xiangzhou has been cleared by Xiao Yi, so it is impossible to raise grain and grass.

Only when Webster's navy breaks through the blockade of Baling City, enters Dongting Lake, and then supplies Yang Zhong's troops by water, can a stable supply line be formed.The food and grass sent by Yuzhang alone cannot sustain the long-term siege of Baling City.

The speed of the fire boat was very fast, and after a while, it came into close contact with the fleet of Webster's navy.Some have already caught fire ahead of time, while others look just like ordinary boats.

"Okay, okay, you're the best, right?
Since you are so powerful, I won't have a baby in the future, so you can hatch eggs yourself! "

Those who came were not the elite sailors under Wang Lin's command, but... reminders filled with kerosene and other things one by one!
Wang Sengbian was afraid that Webster's navy would be too powerful and they wouldn't be able to kill them with one fire, so he sent someone to add another fire!

On the river not far to the northeast, there is also a large-scale fleet.This is the main force of Webster's navy, who participated in the Battle of Nanliang Ping Hefei that year, and it can be said to be famous far and wide.

The surface of the river where the boats were located was dyed red by the flames, and there were burning boats everywhere.

"Fire, fire!"

"Brother Wuzhi (cousin of Wei An), the battle in Yingzhou is related to the overall situation, and the navy is the core task, the most important thing, so we must not be careless.

Liu Yishou waved his hand, but he refused to say too much.How can the so-called strategy be explained in a few words?

Yang Jiang put down her pen and looked at the stern tone of the letter again, feeling something was wrong in her heart.

On the river to the north of Baling City, the buildings and boats of the Wangshui Army in the east of Hunan are all out, and they can't be seen at a glance, which looks magnificent.

"Isn't Ah Lang here to exterminate Xiao Yi? I wrote this letter to recruit security?"

For a while, the entire Webster Navy fleet was in chaos.

In addition to the previous secret letter, XX has made repeated orders, so I won't say more.Anyone who violates military laws will be punished without mercy after the war.This letter is kept in my hand, in duplicate, so that it is convenient to ask for credit or to be held accountable after the war, and I hope Brother Wu Zhi will discipline himself. "

The loss of soldiers, horses and warships is second, mainly because the supply line of water transportation has been harassed severely!There are already rumors in the army that the war is not good!
As a last resort, Webster's navy had to mobilize all their strength to seek a decisive battle with Wang Lin's elite navy on the Yangtze River outside Yingzhou.

The intrigue between Yang Kan and Liu Yishou, collusion and use of each other, is very much like the true face of love!
Without a trace of emotion, a completely pure interest bond, so pure and impeccable, it can be regarded as "love is stronger than gold" to a certain extent.

In other words, there are prerequisites for the imperial court's three-way army to encircle Baling County.The prerequisite for this is that the court's navy must control the "sea power."

"Order to beat the drum and prepare for battle."

The old God Liu Yishou said, still looking at the map and not the people.

"The fleet leaned in and smashed them."

Liu Yishou's letter had already been sent several times to the water village of the Webster's Navy in Yingzhou. Wei An did not get angry because of this, but strictly ordered his men not to go out to fight.

Yang Jiang had no idea what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

Suddenly, someone saw the fire in the cabin and shouted in panic.They finally knew why the few remaining enemy soldiers had to run away.

"Well, come on, stop talking nonsense."

This tactic became the last straw that broke the camel's back. There were so many large ships in the Webster's Navy, and they were all crowded together with the large ships of the Eastern Hunan King's Navy, unable to move.Many soldiers were not on the ship, and command and dispatch were lost.

However, every time they acted, Wang Lin led the navy to hide, because the opponent's boat was not only fast but also relatively capable, and they could run smoothly every time!

However, they had been prepared for a long time, and the well-equipped Webster's navy stretched out many bamboo poles from the densely packed openings on the sides of the big ship, propped the fire boats away, and skillfully avoided the fire boats.

"With your wisdom, it's hard for me to explain to you."

The elite navy led by Wang Lin was already cruising on the river outside the city of Yingzhou, and even went deep into Xiakou at one point.Often lay in ambush and plunder the imperial court's tank boats transporting food and grass!

Liu Yishou spoke very quickly, and Yang Jiang, who had been reading and writing since she was a child, didn't give in too much. She had already finished writing after the other party finished speaking, and her writing speed was much faster than Liu Yishou's.

Yang Jiang asked in disbelief.

At this moment, in the direction of the water village in Baling City, a fleet composed of long and narrow ships with extremely fast speeds rushed towards the Webster's navy, which had lost its ability to cope.

After the fleets on both sides approached, the soldiers of Webster's navy began to board the ship, locked the approaching ship with ropes with iron claws, and rushed into the cabin of the enemy ship.

"It's not that the prime minister is in the dream, but you are in the dream. What are you doing with all the nonsense? Fold the letter, there is another one to write."

The past is like smoke, ethereal without a trace, meeting each other on the battlefield, swords have no eyes.The living beings are covered with charcoal, and there is a piece of scorched earth.

"It's just a little trick."

The drums in the Webster's navy are also loud, and they will not give in to each other!
At this moment, the opposing fleet released one small boat after another, speeding towards their position!
"It's a fire boat! The other side has set fire to the boat!"

Even Dugu Xin from Jiangling had to go through Dongting Lake if he wanted to send food and grass.Without a strong naval escort, how to ensure the safety of the transportation line?
Simply put, this is about the struggle for "dominance of the sea".Whoever can completely control the waterway can guarantee the safety of supplies, and whoever can occupy an absolute advantage in land warfare.

The large-scale ships of the King's Navy in eastern Hunan and the large-scale ships of the Webster's Navy were crowded together and burning, and there were shouts and cries everywhere.

The disciples of Webster, headed by Wei An, fled towards Jiangbei quietly in the small boat on the flagship, without attracting anyone's attention.

In the first battle of Baling, Wang Sengbian used tactics to lure the enemy into deep, and repeatedly attacked with fire. The first battle wiped out the main force of the court's navy.Although their own losses were also great, and they were forced to abandon all the large ships in the navy, the personnel losses were minimal and could be ignored.

After this battle, the trend of the imperial court to wipe out the army of the King of Eastern Hunan came to an abrupt end!

The offensive and defensive situation of the two sides was completely reversed.
