The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 197 will be outside, the king's life will not be affected
"kill"

"Kill!"

For a while, there was endless fighting and screaming between the water camps.

The one attacking the water camp of the Yanmen Army was the Xiaoliang Army led by Gong Yuan.

In fact, after Gong Yuan took charge of the army from the very beginning, he had already analyzed the current situation.

I know that if I rely on my own side to hold on to an isolated city now, sooner or later the city will inevitably be destroyed.

Therefore, Gong Yuan had long planned to attack the Sui army's water camp.

And the previous one did not play cards according to common sense, and suddenly attacked the two strong defense lines of the Sui army.

In fact, it was just a trick to cover up people's eyes and ears, so that the Yanmen Army did not dare to act rashly when they were not aware of the situation.

And Gong Yuan's real goal was actually the Yanmen Army Water Camp from the very beginning.

The reason why Gong Yuan chose to seize the water camp was also because most of the Yanmen Army were from the north, which was a weak link in water warfare.

Although there is the support of Jiangxia's [-] navy, the navy is now under the command of Zheng Chenggong to block the river.

At this moment, the defense of the water battalion was extremely empty.

What Gong Yuan needed to do was to seize the remaining warships in the Sui Army's water camp.

As long as the warship is seized, the army under Gong Yuan's command can immediately form a water army.

Because, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the rebel army are all locals in Nanjun area, and they have practiced water skills since childhood.

As long as Gong Yuan successfully captured the warship, the Yanmen Army's blockade on the river would become empty talk.

At this time, the rebel Xiao Mian could take advantage of the navy to fight against the Yanmen Army.

On the other hand, Xiao Liang could also send envoys to contact the Taiping Army, so as to gain the support of the Taiping Army.

In this way, with the combination of the two, it will be even more difficult for the Yanmen Army to put down the rebellion!
Perhaps this counter-insurgency will fall short.

The most important thing is that once the Yanmen Army cannot completely wipe out Xiao Liang this time.

I am afraid that the newly occupied Jingnan area will once again become Xiao Liang's territory.

After all, Xiao Xian has been entrenched in Jingnan for more than ten years, and has already established a high reputation in the local area.

If Xiao Liang's forces cannot be eradicated at once, it will be like cutting the grass but not the root, and there will be endless troubles!

Coincidentally, Gong Yuan's surprise attack on the water camp of the Yanmen Army is also the idea of ​​connecting with the Taiping Army and fighting against the enemy together.

With the large-scale attack of the rebels, most of the soldiers and horses in the water camp have been taken out by Zheng Chenggong.

There are no more than a thousand defenders in the camp, so how can they withstand the attack of the rebels?
Therefore, the current situation can be described as one-sided.

If it weren't for a young general of the Sui Army who was calm and steady, while struggling to command the soldiers to meet the enemy.

On the other side, the soldiers were ordered to report to Daying and Zheng Chenggong above the river.

…………

"Ah, what? The water camp was attacked?"

It is only said that the messengers of the water battalion rushed to the camp quickly, and reported to Gao Qi eagerly.

For a moment, even the calm Gao Qi couldn't help becoming anxious.

Immediately, Liu Bowen took the lead to stand up and said: "General, Wen understands, so this is Gong Yuan's real purpose."

"how do I say this?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help asking slowly!

Immediately, Liu Bowen pondered for a while and analyzed: "The reason why Gong Yuan didn't play his cards according to common sense, and suddenly attacked our army's strong defense line in two parts."

"Actually, this is Gong Yuan's attempt to confuse our army, so that our army can't figure out what he has in mind for a while."

"And after successfully confusing our army, he led his army to raid the water camp in an instant. At this time, the defense of the water camp is extremely empty. How can it resist the attack of the rebels?"

"As long as they enter the water camp, the rebels will get our warships, so that the local rebels are familiar with water, and they can form a water army in an instant."

"At that time, it will be impossible for our army to blockade the river, and the rebels can send people to contact the Taiping Army."

In an instant, Liu Bowen understood Gong Yuan's plan at a glance, and spoke slowly.

After hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help but feel scared for a while, so he was ready to send troops to rescue immediately.

"Lord, wait a minute!"

It's just that when Gao Qi was about to leave the tent to dispatch troops to rescue, Guo Jia at the side spoke to stop him.

Hearing this, Gao Qi couldn't help being puzzled, and asked urgently: "Feng Xiao, the water camp is under fierce attack by the rebels, and the situation is critical."

"Our army should go to support immediately, how can we continue to waste time?"

Immediately, Guo Jia couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "General, think about it carefully, since the enemy general Gong Yuan can take the opportunity to raid the water camp."

"Then he must also think that our army will rush to support immediately after learning the news. After all, the importance of the water camp is self-evident!"

"In this way, our army will be extremely passive, and the initiative will be firmly in the hands of the rebels, playing with our army in applause."

I saw that Guo Jia first talked about the disadvantages of supporting the water camp.

After a pause, Guo Jia continued to speak slowly: "Jia thinks that now that Gong Yuan has led the army to fight for the water camp with all his strength."

"Then there are no more than [-] rebels on the periphery of our army's defense line. Why don't our army do the opposite, abandon the water camp, and directly destroy this rebel army with heavy troops and eliminate its vitality?"

For a while, all the generals heard the words, and all of them couldn't help but be motivated to fight.

Because, Guo Jia's plan is indeed one of the best plans today.

"It's just filial piety, abandoning the water camp, but the warships docked inside will be given to the rebels like this?"

Hearing this, after thinking about it, Gao Qi couldn't help asking.

Immediately, Guo Jia continued to laugh: "Of course it won't be given to the rebels."

"Since our army can't keep the warship, the rebels can't even think about it!"

"So, Jia asked the general to order all warships to be burned."

For a while, Guo Jia finally revealed the whole purpose of his plan.

It has to be said that Guo Jia's plan is also a big deal.

You know, although Zheng Chenggong led the army to blockade the river, warships have been mobilized.

However, there are still many warships docked in the water camp, and it is impossible to destroy all of them without a certain courage.

Just saying, after Guo Jia finished speaking, he immediately retreated, waiting for Gao Qi to make a decision.

This is actually the most professional job of a counselor, and planning is mainly to give advice to the lord.

But as for whether the lord adopts it or not, it has nothing to do with the counselor.

It's just that if the lord really belongs to the kind of people who don't listen to others.

The counselor will leave brazenly!

After all, the king also chooses his ministers, and the ministers also choose his king, this is the truth.

For a while, after hearing Guo Jia's analysis, Gao Qi couldn't help being extremely entangled.

After all, that was nearly one-third of the warships, and it would be difficult to make up your mind to destroy them easily.

Moreover, now that Gao Qi is leading his army in the south, even if Xiao Xian is eliminated.

What if Gao Qi continued to lead his army southward to attack Hong Xiuquan?

Don't you need the assistance of the navy?

Therefore, it is precisely because of this reason that Gao Qi hesitates.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Gao Qi couldn't bear to order the messengers to continue to return to the water camp, ordering to burn the warships.

At the same time, Gao Qi immediately regained his vigor and resolute side, and led the whole army to go straight to the periphery of the defense line.

…………

"Report, General! The rebel attack is too fierce, and the brothers can't resist it!"

In the water camp, a soldier was reporting to the young general very quickly.

Hearing this, the young general knew that the Shuiying oath could not be kept.

Suddenly a bold idea popped up in his heart, and he ordered: "Hurry up, lead a hundred brothers to the place where the warship is docked."

"Ignite all warships and set them ablaze!"

"Ah? General, without the order of the superior, you burned the warship at will, will the superiors track it down?"

Hearing this, the soldier couldn't help being taken aback, and then asked fearfully.

Immediately, the young general resolutely said: "I will accept the orders of my king outside!"

"The situation is critical now, I can't control so much, you hurry up and destroy the warship."

"All responsibility will be borne by me alone."

After receiving the order, the soldier didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately called more than a hundred soldiers to burn the warship and leave.

…………

Immediately afterwards, the young general brandished his saber, encouraged the remaining soldiers, and attacked the rebels.

The intention is to delay the burning of the warship!
