Chapter 1504
Early the next morning, outside the gate. Ying Yi's three thousand Asgardian guards have long been lined up.
"West Road crosses the river from Mengjin, hit Huaiqing, Weihui, and Zhangde, and then enters the capital. The time for dispatching troops is set within two days, and the timing is your own choice." Ying Yi said: " There is no Ming Army in Guanzhong. Ming Ting moved south from Xuanda. One is far away and beyond the reach, and the other is controlled by Tongguan Li Huan. You don’t need to worry about it. After crossing the river, the main purpose is to attack the city, don’t. Being dragged down by Xiaocheng County and town, remember that in May, the capital will meet."
Zhu Bingkun and others simultaneously thumped their chests and raised their heads: "Hey!"
After the instruction, Ying Yi turned on her horse: "Let's go!"
Go east all the way to Zhengzhou, Li Daoist parted ways and headed south, and went back to Nanyang. Ying Yi kept on horseback and led her guards straight to Lanyang.
Lanyang is located to the east of Kaifeng, on the edge of the Yellow River. Zheng Wu and Qian Yue had long stationed their soldiers here, while they were training and waiting for the military orders.
Ying Yi passed through Kaifeng but did not enter, and went straight to Lanyang, arriving in one day, meeting Zheng Wu and Qian Yue.
In the camp, Zheng Wu rolled out the map and detailed tactics.
"My lord, our troops gathered here three days ago and blocked the news. It is expected that there is no response to Hou Xun on the shore." He said a word, then pointed to the map and said: "Lanyang is here. , Four miles to the north is Zhaopizhai. On the other side of Zhaopizhai, Tongwaxiang, Zhu Family Village, Xiaosongji, and Chenqiao Town are where Hou Xun’s troops are located."
Ying Yi slightly nodded: "That is to cross the river from Zhaopizhai?"
Zheng Wu cup one fist in the other hand said: "The lord is wise. Although the surface of the Yellow River near Zhaopizhai is slightly wide, the water flow is gentle and easy to cross the river. Although I have collected a lot of boats, they are all small boats and cannot stand the big wind and waves."
Ying Yi said with a smile: "Zhao Pizhai is Zhao Pizhai. Now that you are ready , I have no opinion."
"Here." Zheng Wu paused and said, "There is no wind today. Before the lord comes, the general will have a plan with Lieutenant Qian to cross the river midnight. , Hit him completely unprepared."
Ying Yi nodded again.
For specific tactics, Ying Yi will not intervene casually. The generals below have already made decisions. If they intervene at will, it would be a bad thing.
Said: "Then, how many people can the collected ships send to cross the river at one time?"
"Three thousand." Zheng Wudao.
Ying Yi laughed: "Okay. I'll be a pioneer this time."
Zheng Wu startled, looked at Qian Yue, and couldn't help saying: "Lord Wanjin The body..."
Ying Yi waved her hand, said with a laugh: "I am not only a body of ten thousand gold, but also a mighty power. Trifling Hou Xun, what can you do for me?"
Seeing that Ying Yi's heart is determined, the two dare not say anything, they should say yes.
Qian Yuedao: "Hou Xun Baoding seven towns have soldiers and horses, four towns are on the opposite bank, Chenqiao Town, Tongwaxiang, Zhu Family Village, and Xiao Songji each have soldiers and horses. Early. If the lord crosses the river first, he will hit the Tongwaxiang, and finally will send another one to follow..."
Ying Yi hearing this waved his hand said with a smile: "No need. Trifling more than ten thousand soldiers. Ma, I punish myself. You two should just act according to the established strategy, and be sure to catch all the soldiers and horses in the four towns on the other side."
Here, Zheng Wu and Qian Yue, the specific tactics are very simple, and there is nothing to it. Conspiracy. It is reasonable to say that you can concentrate your forces to attack Tongwaxiang, which is located in the four towns. Generally speaking, once you attack here, the other three places will have to come to aid.
However, the virtues of Ming Army are well-known, and they are afraid that when the soldiers and horses of the other three towns see the fierce fighting in the Tongwa Xiang, they will hesitate to move forward and dare not come to help.
Therefore, this strategy was abandoned, and the Ming Army was directly divided and attacked. Ming Army was not given time to react and forcibly killed them.
Then the soldiers were fed and rested. At night to the middle of the sea, the whole army pulled out of camp and came to Zhaopizhai in the dark.
Zhao Pizhai was deserted in the Rebellion of the Thieves, and later Zheng Jiu troops guarded Hou Xun here and cleaned it up. All the provision materials needed for this time on the northbound east road are all stored here.
When we arrived at Zhaopizhai, Ying Yi and her guards acted as pioneers. They pulled out 20 tiger squat cannons from Zhaopizhai, and each carried a pack of fixed bullets and three solid shells. Be prepared for a ten thousand enemy.
Zheng Wu pulled out the requisitioned ships early, and in the night it looked like big fishes, undulating along the river.
These boats are small boats. There are more than 270 in total. Except for some of them are newly built, the rest are fishing boats commissioned from fishermen.
Each boat can take a dozen people, and more than 270 boats can carry 3,000 people across the river at a time.
Corresponding to the punting boatmen, there are also more fishermen recruited.
As soon as it should be prepared, Ying Yi waved his big hand, and the three thousand Asgardian guards were in a team of ten to twelve. The first twenty teams immediately raised a squat gun and boarded the boat. Set off as soon as the boat is full.
The soldiers moved quickly, and they all got on the boat in less than a cup of tea. And the one who set off first has already arrived in the river.
Ying Yi stood at the bow of the ship, with her feet taking roots, following the ship's ups and downs. A tiger squat cannon was stepped on by him, and the moon gauze sprinkled from the sky shone on the tiger squat cannon, forming a circle of faint golden brilliance.
These tiger squat guns were not made of copper and iron, but made of gold alloy. The tiger squat guns made of gold yuan alloy are smaller and lighter on the one hand, and have a longer range and greater formidable power on the other.
In the past, the artillery was cast with copper and iron. In order to be strong, the barrel and base of the gun were very thick. While Jinyuanhe Metal Nature can be detached. With its forged artillery, many materials are reduced, but the formidable power is greatly exceeded.
Now a tiger is squatting, but it weighs two hundred catties. In the whole army, there are not a few soldiers who can easily carry a tiger and squat guns to fly.
At present, Ying Yi’s artillery is dominated by tiger crouching artillery. It is rare to cast large and heavy artillery such as the Fran cannon and the red-clothed cannon. It's not that Ying Yi doesn't like large and heavy artillery, but that it is not necessary for the time being.
The tiger squat cannon made of gold alloy has a range and formidable power that have reached the level of a Fran cannon or even a red-clothed cannon. With its lightness, it can sling any opponent. There is no such thing for the time being. It is necessary to waste more materials to cast those big guys.
The river is surging, although there is no wind, and this section of the water is gentle, but it still makes people overwhelmed by emotions.
Under the moonlight, the outline of the opposite bank is vividly visible.
The fishing boat rowed across the water, set off one after another wave, bumped, and landed!
Ying Yi walks like flying, and is the first to board the opposite shore. The Asgardian guards carried tiger squat guns, landed quickly, emptied the soldiers' ships, and immediately turned around and returned.
In a short while, all three thousand soldiers boarded the river bank.
"I have work."
Ying Yi cupped the hands to an old man.
old man said with a smile: "Adults calm the world, teach commoners adequate food and clothing, old man can be a guide, the blessing of three lifetimes."
Ying Yi laughed: "many thanks Lao Zhang."
This Lao Zhang has been active on both sides of the strait for many years, and he is very knowledgeable about the nearby towns, so he recruited him as a guide. What Ying Yi did in Henan has won the hearts of the people. For example, the boatman, once recruited, is eager to follow suit, and there is no reluctance at all.
