The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 763
At the beginning of May, Jinghai City in Haizhou was still full of singing and dancing. Because it was far away from the battlefield in the Central Plains, many noble families who had fled for refuge liked to relocate their families here.As a result, Jinghai City has prospered several times in just a few years, becoming the largest city in the south of the Central Plains.

It is also because of the large number of rich people who moved from the north to the south, the strength of the Gu family has greatly increased in just a few years.

At this time, Gu Baichuan was already old, so he sat in Jinghai City to deploy materials and manpower for the front line.And his most valued son, Gu Xiong'an, became the commander of the Gu family army and went to the Central Plains to resist Tianhua.

It's just that it's already May now, but there's no news from the sea, which makes Gu Baichuan restless.It would be fine if Emperor Tianhua was killed, but if he was allowed to return to Tianhua safely, then his Gu family would suffer the cruelest revenge.

Thinking of this, his hands trembled involuntarily.This time, they were too risky.But they had no choice, because the situation was not on their side. Once Emperor Tianhua returned to the Central Plains, it would be a new round of Central Plains War.This battle will not achieve its goal, and I will not give up.They simply don't have the strength to resist Tianhua's unification battle, and they will perish sooner or later.

Because of this, Gu Baichuan gritted his teeth and agreed to Cao Ziyan's plan. The two sides pretended to fight, but they were actually waiting for this opportunity.Finally, the news finally came from the dark thread planted in Tianhua, which confirmed the return journey and strength of Emperor Tianhua.Gu Baichuan ordered Lian Haiping's entire army to go out to sea and attack the Tianhua fleet.

However, at this moment, hundreds of warships suddenly poured out from the sea east of Jinghai City, heading straight for the harbor outside Jinghai City.

When the Haizhou army at the harbor saw the Wu character flag fluttering on the sea, it immediately lifted the alert and welcomed the fleet into the port.

Not long after, more than 500 warships sailed into the harbor wharf one after another, and then countless soldiers landed one after another and gathered in the harbor.

At this time, several generals in charge of the harbor came one after another, wanting to inquire about the situation.When they saw several unknown generals standing beside Lian Haiping, they couldn't help but looked at him suspiciously, "General Lian, who are these?"

Lian Haiping showed a slight smile, "You guys, please don't move, otherwise this general will be impolite."

Everyone's expressions changed, and at this moment, they realized that dozens of soldiers had surrounded them at some point, staring at themselves and the others.

"I would like to introduce you, these are the generals of the Tianhua Navy." Lian Hai smiled flatly, "Now, the entire harbor has been occupied by the Tianhua Army."

"What? You, you turned to Tianhua?" a general cried out.

At this time, there was chaos in the entire harbor, and many soldiers who had just disembarked quickly occupied various main roads and controlled the few soldiers in the harbor.

"Everyone, I'll give you two choices now, either surrender or die, choose one." Lian Haiping looked at them coldly.

"I, we are willing to surrender." Everyone looked at the murderous soldiers and horses around them, who dared to refuse, and immediately chose to surrender.

"Very well, then I will wrong you for the time being." Lian Haiping nodded, and immediately shouted, "Come here, lock them up."

As more and more soldiers and horses landed one after another, they took control of the entire harbor defense.Soon there was a shadow of a sail on the sea, sailing towards the harbor.

Time passed little by little, and the [-] soldiers of the Tianhua Army finally landed.Lin Yifan got off the boat, couldn't help stretching his waist, and said with emotion: "The ground is still more comfortable. Staying on the boat for a month, I'm going to be shaking."

"Your Majesty was able to toss and turn on the sea for a month, and I am deeply impressed." Lian Haiping said with a smile, "Even those of us from Haizhou, who went to sea for the first time, vomited after only a few days. Training sailors is not a year's work. , unable to adapt to the turbulence at sea."

"Hehe, maybe it's because I'm closer to the sea." Lin Yifan laughed, but he didn't know why, but he didn't feel much discomfort when sitting on the boat. After a few days of getting used to it, he felt as if he was on land.

After the army was unloaded at the harbor, following an order, the army immediately rushed out of the harbor and marched towards Jinghai City, which is less than [-] miles away.Meanwhile, hundreds of warships left the harbor and sailed towards the Qingping River.

At this moment in Jinghai City, there were only less than [-] defenders, and it never occurred to the enemy to invade.Therefore, the defense of the defenders was very lax, and they gathered in twos and threes to gamble and drink.

At this moment, a galloping cavalry shouted sharply: "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!"

Everyone looked at the cavalry in confusion, the enemy attacked, where are the enemies around Jinghai City?

At this moment, on the land to the east, a dark figure suddenly appeared, heading towards Jinghai City.The sharp-eyed defenders suddenly screamed and kept ringing the alarm bell.For a moment, Jinghai City was in chaos, and countless defenders rushed to the wall.But at this time they discovered that there were not many defensive equipment on the city wall at this time.It must take time to move it out of the warehouse.

However, time waits for no one. The Tianhua army in the distance is getting closer and closer. The defenders look at the enemy army in the east, and they can't help feeling a little hopeless in their hearts. There may be tens of thousands of soldiers.Can they stop it with their garrison of less than [-] people?

Gu Baichuan, who was processing official documents in the Duke's mansion, couldn't help but turn pale with shock when he heard the bell, and quickly ordered someone to inquire.When the visitor came to report in a hurry, Gu Baichuan couldn't help but slumped down on the chair, his face was pale, and he was trembling all over, "Come on, thousands of warships, all the navy, can't defeat the Tianhua Navy? How could this happen? ,how so?"

"My lord, what should I do now?" the retainer asked in panic.

Gu Baichuan forced himself to calm down, and immediately ordered, "Go, order the defenders to hold on to the city wall at all costs. In addition, immediately expedite the eight hundred miles, and order my son Xiong'an to withdraw from the Central Plains battlefield immediately and return to aid Haizhou."

At this moment, he no longer cared about the half of Jinzhou he had just occupied, nor the safety of Cao's family.The army must be withdrawn in order to repel this enemy army.Once he was allowed to break through Jinghai City, their Gu family would really be doomed.

Not long after, the Tianhua Army arrived at the city and surrounded Jinghai City.Lin Yifan looked at Jinghai City in front of him, and said with a sneer, "If such a fortified city is fully prepared, even if our Tianhua Army attacks with tens of thousands of troops, it will be of no avail. How else can we fight our army? Pass the order down, and I will be stationed in Jinghai City tonight."

With an order, the [-]-day Chinese army immediately began to deploy, and dozens of artillery pieces were all concentrated at the east gate, and there was a burst of bombardment against the city gate.After a while, the city gate shattered, but the inside was temporarily filled with debris.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan couldn't help sighing slightly, if the three thousand cavalry hadn't left behind Dongyang, they would have been able to occupy the city gate in one fell swoop and prevent the other party from filling the city gate.
