Yu Tianxing clasped his hands into fists and said deeply: "Thanks to the love of the adults, Tianxing will bow and die to repay the grace of the adults." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I will announce this news to everyone tomorrow." ” Yu Tianxing said: "Your Excellency doesn't need to be in a hurry to announce, although Tianxing has made suggestions, but he has not made an inch, it is difficult to convince the public, if he can successfully retreat from the Yongjun army this time, it will not hurt for the Lord to issue an appointment again."
The most urgent task is to recruit the fishermen and blacksmiths of the fishing boats, and according to my calculations, we will probably have only nine days left, and in nine days we will have to build three pontoon bridges, and the time is quite short, and we must gather all the craftsmen to work day and night.
As for those who are concealed in the upstream to carry out ambushes, we must screen cronies, and we must not leak the news in advance, once the Yongjun army is prepared, our plan will inevitably fall through. ” The night was dark, Hu Xiaotian returned to the courtyard where he lived, saw the light in the room, looked through the crack in the door, but saw that Visa was asleep in front of the table, Hu Xiaotian quietly walked in, took off the big hat and draped it over his shoulders for Visa.
Visa woke up because of his slight movement, opened his beautiful eyes, hurriedly stood up, and bowed his head apologetically: "Visa didn't know that the master was back, and he actually fell asleep." ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said, "You have also worked very hard in the past two days. ” Visa shook his head and said, "It's not as hard as the master, I'll go and fetch hot water for the master." ” Hu Xiaotian stopped her and said, "No, you go back and rest, I'll come by myself." ” Visa bit her lip, first went to make a cup of tea for Hu Xiaotian and sent it to him, Hu Xiaotian took a sip of tea, saw that Visa was still not gone, looked at him with concern on his face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Are you okay?"
Visa: "The master has lost weight recently, and he seems to have a lot on his mind."
Why don't you say it, and Visa may be able to share it for you.
"The concern is palpable.
Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, don't worry." ” Visa nodded, and then left the room.
Hu Xiaotian closed the door, remembered the book of the Soldier Holy Array that Qiqi gave him, and found it and flipped through it under the lamp.
Although he knows that this book of soldiers is quite mysterious, but he is not good at military affairs, I can't see how this book is of any help to him at present, no matter what era, talent is the most valuable, Zhu Guanqi's wisdom is profound, Yu Tianxing's arrogance and arrogance have left a deep impression on him, but Zhu Guanqi is indifferent to fame and fortune, and clearly expressed his unwillingness to work for Dakang.
Although Yu Tianxing's plan tonight amazed him, it was not so easy to implement.
Hu Xiaotian felt unprecedented pressure, if in the past, he would naturally not have so many scruples, no matter how strong the opponent was, even if he might not be able to win, he believed that he still had the ability to protect himself, but now as the city lord of Dongliang County, he still had to protect more than 100,000 lives in the city.
What made Hu Xiaotian feel embarrassed was that.
The people of Dongliang County are not in harmony with themselves, when the Dayong army came.
Many people can't even ask for it, and the main force to fight this war can only rely on those refugees.
It can be said that Hu Xiaotian's inner pressure is unprecedented.
Lying on the bed tossing and turning, in the middle of the night put on clothes and came to the courtyard, looking up at the night sky, the bright moon half bent like thin ice quietly hanging in the black velvet sky, and in nine days is to look at the sun.
If Yu Tianxing's guess is right, then the night of the full moon is the time when the Great Yongshui Division will attack the city in a big way.
Three thousand against thirty thousand or even more, although theoretically feasible, but the real fight is not necessarily easy.
In a trance, the shadow of Long Xiyue appeared in the moonlight.
Thinking of her tearful appearance, Hu Xiaotian's heart suddenly felt a throbbing, and an indescribable sourness and guilt filled his heart.
He didn't even dare to think about Long Xiyue's current whereabouts, he always thought that she had turned her back on him, but he didn't expect that the truth was that she was killed by his sworn brother Zhou Mo.
I don't know if Yiren is okay now Hu Xiaotian closed his eyes tightly and forced himself not to think about it, the night breeze was cold and his face was slightly cool, Hu Xiaotian realized that tears were flowing on his face, and he hurriedly raised the back of his hand to wipe away the tears.
He heard the sound of soft breathing in the distance, and immediately judged that Visa was quietly watching him from a distance, and whispered, "Why don't you go to sleep yet" Knowing that Hu Xiaotian had discovered his traces, Visa timidly walked out from behind the pillars and whispered, "Master" Hu Xiaotian slowly turned around, looked at the moonlight Visa, and said softly: "Go to sleep" "Visa is willing to do anything for his master. ” Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I understand your intentions, don't worry, I will definitely tell you when I need you." ” Morning finally came, and at dawn a winter rain came unexpectedly, because the weather was cold, the rain fell on the ground and quickly condensed into ice, and the temperature dropped a lot.
Xiong Tianba came early in the morning to report, but there was a fishing boat coming from the other side, and it had to be a group of beggars, because Hu Xiaotian had an order first, Dongliang County would no longer accept refugees for the time being, but the other party kept saying that he wanted to see Hu Xiaotian, and said that it was his old friend, so Xiong Tianba came to report the news.
Hu Xiaotian heard that a beggar was looking for him, and after thinking about it, the beggar he had a relationship with was a grandfather, but it was his old man who came and immediately went with Xiong Tianba.
When I came to Xiasha Port, I saw a dilapidated fishing boat parked on the wharf, and about fifty beggars were standing on the fishing boat, and the garrison on the wharf was waiting for them and did not allow them to dock.
Hu Xiaotian came to the front of the horse, raised his eyes, and a beggar standing on the bow of the boat was Zhu Ba, when he was in Kangdu, Zhu Ba had led the beggars to besiege himself and Qiqi, and they got acquainted because of this, and later when Hu Xiaotian escorted Long Xiyue to Dayong, Zhu Ba also sent a map of the distribution of green forest forces to himself.
Hu Xiaotian sat on the horse and laughed: "Who should I be, it turns out that Brother Zhu is here" secretly thought in his heart, Zhu Ba would never come for no reason, last time he sent the green forest power distribution map to himself, he should have been entrusted by his grandfather, and this time the same is true.
Thinking of his grandfather's void volley, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, he really didn't know what to call him.
Zhu Ba smiled and said: "Master Hu, you have such a big pomp, I waited for the dust to come to you, but when I got here, I couldn't even dock the boat, this is not hospitality." ” Hu Xiaotian hurriedly ordered the soldiers to disperse, and Zhu Ba took dozens of ragged beggars ashore.
Zhu Ba grinned.
Showing a mouth full of scorched teeth: "Lord Hu, my brothers haven't eaten yet." ” Hu Xiaotian immediately asked Xiong Tianba District to arrange a fire in the military camp to make a meal and entertain these dozens of beggars.
When the beggars followed him to eat, Hu Xiaotian said to Zhu Ba: "What advice does Brother Zhu have when he comes to Dongliang County this time?"
Zhu Badao: "I heard that you are in trouble, and the Dayong Water Division will come to attack the city in a few days, so I brought some brothers over to help." ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Zhu's news is really well-informed.
He lowered his voice and said, "Who asked Brother Zhu to come over?"
Zhu Ba smiled and said, "Anyway, I promised not to say anything."
You can guess it anyway. ” Hu Xiaotian concluded that it must be a void in the void, and he had a little more respect for this old man in his heart, and he still cared about himself in the void in his heart, he must have a very respectable position in the beggar gang, otherwise he would not say that Zhu Ba would come over to help, but just Zhu Ba and these dozens of people may not help, Hu Xiaotian said: "I understand Brother Zhu's kindness, but the Dayong Water Division has many people, and the strength is dozens of times that of us."
You still don't have to wade into this troubled water. ” Zhu Badao: "Don't you dislike us for having few people?"
he leaned closer to Hu Xiaotian and whispered in his ear: "If there are too many, two thousand people will come one after another, and our brothers are all heroes who are brave and brave." ” When Hu Xiaotian heard that he was able to transfer 2,000 people, he was overjoyed.
Zhu Ba said with a smile: "Let me be right, anyway, you don't want us to go, I'm here to repay the favor."
It has nothing to do with you. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Zhu, let's go eat and return to the city later."
Let's talk about it again. ” Zhu Ba hugged his fists and swaggered away.
Not long after Zhu Ba left, Liang Yinghao, who went to Wuxing County for help, returned to Xiasha Port, and heard that Hu Xiaotian was in Xiasha Port, so he immediately came to meet him.
Seeing Liang Yinghao's depressed face, Hu Xiaotian guessed that his trip was not ideal, and did not immediately inquire about the results of this trip for help.

Instead, he said with concern: "Let's eat before we eat." ” Liang Yinghao shook his head, clasped his hands into fists and bowed deeply to Hu Xiaotian and said, "Mansion master, my subordinates have a heavy trust, and I ask you to punish the crime." ” Hu Xiaotian held his arm and said, "Yinghao, you don't have to say that.
It has nothing to do with you how Wuxing County responds. ” Liang Yinghao said: "Mansion Master, I went to Wuxing County this time to meet Admiral Zhao Dengyun. ” "What He Says" Liang Yinghao said indignantly: "Then Zhao Dengyun is a bastard, I told Tang Boxi of Nanyang Water Village that forced us to hand over Dongliang County, Zhao Dengyun not only did not agree to send troops to reinforce after hearing this, but also said that Dongliang County is a place of chicken ribs, and it was Dayong's place at the beginning, and now it is natural for people to take it back." ” Hu Xiaotian said angrily: "He really said that" Liang Yinghao nodded and said: "It's true, he also said that His Majesty had already mentioned the matter of Dongliang County at the beginning, and the reason why he had not stationed troops in Dongliang County was because he was afraid that Dayong would regret it, and now that the country is in an extraordinary period, there is no need to go to war with Dayong because of a city that does not belong to him." ” Zhao Dengyun had such a reaction, Hu Xiaotian was not surprised, he raised his eyes and looked at the opposite bank, because of the drizzle in the air, the visibility of the river was very poor, and there was always a white mist gathering on the river surface, and Hu Xiaotian's eyesight could not see the opposite scene.
He whispered: "Have you seen Zhao Wusheng?"
Liang Yinghao said: "I saw it, and I also told him about the situation we are facing, but he didn't react either." ” Hu Xiaotian nodded, it seemed that Zhao Wusheng didn't want to wade into this troubled water, he patted Liang Yinghao's shoulder and said, "It's hard work, go eat some food and rest first." ” Since Zhao Dengyun clearly rejected his request for help, then everything can only rely on himself, at least the situation has been much better than at the beginning, the two thousand men and horses of the beggar gang will arrive one after another in the next few days, plus the three thousand he already has, the total number has reached five thousand, although the team is uneven, but after all, the disadvantage in numbers has improved.
There was a knight in the distance who came to this side, but it was Yu Tianxing who arrived, he came early this morning to investigate the situation along the river, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to come earlier than him.
Hu Xiaotian heard that Yu Tianxing was going to take a look along the river, and immediately decided to accompany him to go together, and the two walked along the bank of the Yongjiang River in the direction of the upstream direction, Yu Tianxing stopped at the narrowest place on the nearby river, pointed to the river in front and said, "My lord."
This place is called the small waist, it is the narrowest place in the nearby waters, it is only relatively speaking, the distance between the north and south banks is about 50 zhang, we can build a pontoon bridge here, and the boats are connected by iron chains.
An iron anchor fell under the iron chain, forming an iron cable across the river. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "Are you going to lay three pontoon bridges here?"
Yu Tianxing said: "The pontoon bridges must be separated from each other for a certain distance, and a pontoon bridge must be set up every fifty zhang, and when the enemy warship sails into the predetermined range, we will send people to outflank it from the rear, and push the floating row with a light boat, the front part of the floating row must be sharpened, and the surface of the floating row will be coated with tung oil, and after it is ignited."
Going down the river, the fire took advantage of the wind to storm the opposing fleet. ” Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Wuxing County has clearly rejected my request for help, so we can only rely on ourselves." ” Yu Tianxing said: "Although the number is insufficient, we can mobilize refugees to tie up the floating rows. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not all bad news, we will have 2,000 reinforcements to help in the next two days, which means that our troops can barely have 5,000 people." ” Yu Tianxing said: "Five thousand people are enough, three thousand people stay here to be responsible for defending the city, and two thousand people are responsible for outflanking from the enemy's rear, once the fire breaks out upstream."
The enemy will speed to the shore, and they will ram the pontoon bridge at full speed.
The faster they try to reopen a gap, the greater their losses, and those who are lucky enough to intercept through the first pontoon bridge may not succeed in passing through the second and third lanes, in which case they can only force their way ashore.
We set up an ambush where they were scheduled to land and gave them a second ambush.
After these two ambushes, most of their numbers should be lost, and the remaining troops should be enough for us to fight. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the three pontoon bridges in a short time.
"It's easy to find a fishing boat with a pontoon bridge.
However, the chain connecting the fishing boats may not be able to be built in nine days, and Hu Xiaotian has already ordered the blacksmiths of the city to gather to do this.
Yu Tianxing said: "Don't worry, my lord, every fishing boat has iron chains and iron anchors, we can directly intercept the iron anchors and iron chains to use, all the blacksmith needs to do is to melt these iron chains, as for those iron anchors can be directly connected to the iron chains, in this way, it will naturally get twice the result with half the effort."
However, even so, relying on the blacksmiths in the city alone is very urgent, and the soldiers of the barracks need to be mobilized to help. ” Hu Xiaotian said: "What's so difficult about this, I'll give an order when I turn around, so that they all obey your dispatch."
"There is no suspicion in employing people, and since he decided to adopt Yu Tianxing's opinion, Hu Xiaotian must give him full trust.
Yu Tianxing couldn't help but show excitement when he heard this, he died as a confidant, although he was full of wealth and talent, how could he have been unappreciated, there was no revenge, but there was no way to repay the country, I didn't expect to meet Hu Xiaotian in Dongliang County, and got his appreciation, Yu Tianxing made suggestions for Hu Xiaotian, he didn't have much hope, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to adopt them all, and gave him such trust, Yu Tianxing was full of emotion and said: "Tianxing will do his best to win this battle for adults." ” Hu Xiaotian patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's not for me to win this battle, but for the people of Dongliang County, defending Dongliang County is equivalent to guarding our homeland, if we lose here, even if we can save our lives, I'm afraid there will be nowhere to go."
"His heart is full of pride, Dakang refuses to give him any support, Tang Boxi wants to take this opportunity to take Dongliang County and give it to the new monarch as a gift, the more so, the more I will not let you get your wish, fight and fight, want to unite the people, want to dominate the side, must rely on war to establish majesty, if this time can win more with less, defeat the Dayong Shui Division, maybe the pattern of the world will change from now on.
In the camp of Nanyang Water Village, Tang Boxi quietly looked at the map on the table, the city of Dongliang County has no secrets for Dayong, Tang Boxi thought that after sending envoys, it would be enough for Hu Xiaotian to succumb, and he would take Dongliang County immediately without a single soldier, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaotian to be so ignorant of current affairs.
At this time, Liu Yuncai asked to see him, and after entering the camp tent, Liu Yuncai said with a happy face: "Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general."
Tang Boxi frowned and said, "He is happy."
"I just received news from Wuxing County that Zhao Dengyun has rejected Hu Xiaotian's request for help."
Tang Boxi didn't feel any surprise, and said indifferently: "Zhao Dengyun's person is extremely selfish, he is now seriously short of military food, it can really be said that it is difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river himself, how can he still have the energy to take care of the affairs of Dongliang County." ” Liu Yuncai said: "That Hu Xiaotian really doesn't know how to lift, I persuaded him to surrender with kind words, but he actually rejected me, the rabble of the three thousand refugee organizations, is it also delusional to confront my army, it is simply ignorant of life and death, stupid." ” Tang Boxi said: "Hu Xiaotian is not a stupid person, he seems to want to use these 3,000 people to hold on to Dongliang County."
In his opinion, Hu Xiaotian can only resist for a while if he sticks to the city gate and does not come out.
Liu Yuncai said: "Dongliang County is not in danger at all, and the city wall is not tall and wide, if the general can trust me, give the last general 10,000 soldiers and horses, ten warships, and the last general will be able to capture Dongliang County in less than a day." ” Tang Boxi sneered: "Why don't I know that you are so capable?"
Liu Yuncai's face was flushed by his words, but he thought in his heart that if Tang Boxi really agreed to his request, there would be no problem in taking Dongliang County.
Tang Boxi said: "The two armies are fighting, the most taboo is to underestimate the enemy, although he only has 3,000 people, but a battle against the water, will inevitably inspire all the potential and courage, he must think that after you come back, I heard that he will not open the door and surrender will be thunderous and angry, and he will immediately wave his troops eastward."
He slowly shook his head and said: "I never fight uncertain battles, since Zhao Dengyun is unwilling to reinforce, then he has no way back, and it will be fifteen in a few days, the west wind is the strongest at this time of year, our warships go down with the west wind, and they can reach Dongliang County overnight, and when they find out, we have come to the city." ” Liu Yuncai said: "The general is really strategizing and far-sighted. ” Tang Boxi said: "You go to prepare, you must keep our soldiers in the best fighting condition, when the time comes, leave 20,000 soldiers to guard the camp, and the remaining 30,000 people will join me to conquer Dongliang County."
In the White Tiger Hall of Wuxing County, the atmosphere was also extremely depressing, and Zhao Dengyun, the commander of the Dakang Water Division, had a gloomy face, and looked at his nephew Zhao Wusheng coldly and said, "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Wusheng said: "Uncle, if we sit idly by, I'm afraid that we won't be able to explain it to the imperial court." ” Zhao Dengyun sneered: "You are suggesting that I send troops and horses have not moved, grain and grass first, how much military food we have left, you go to the military port to see, our soldiers are yellow and thin, weak and can't help the wind, with how they still fight, Dongliang County was originally Dayong's territory, since returning to Dakang, we have never garrisoned, that is also the emperor's meaning."
It is bordered by Dayong on three sides, and the Yongjiang River is behind it, and people with a little common sense understand that if we garrison the army in Dongliang County, once there is a war, how many will die.
The emperor has long seen through the mystery, when I went to the capital to worship, the emperor once told me personally, if Dayong sent troops to Dongliang County, simply let it go. ” Zhao Wusheng said: "Uncle, Dongliang County is our Dakang land after all, and there are more than 100,000 people living in it, can we let them go?"
Zhao Dengyun said: "You think they are the people of Dakang, but they don't think so in their hearts, they can't wait to return to Dayong." ” Zhao Wusheng said: "Could it be that we just watched the Dayong army drive straight in and capture Dongliang County and be indifferent?"
Zhao Dengyun sighed and said: "We can't protect ourselves now, how can we have time to take care of their affairs, not to mention that if we go to the rescue, it is likely to trigger a full-scale war between the two countries, who will bear this responsibility at that time?"
Zhao Wusheng's heart was gloomy, it seems that not only Zhao Dengyun gave up Dongliang County, but even the Dakang Imperial Court also gave up Dongliang County, and the Dakang Empire, which used to dominate the Central Plains, has now fallen to such a point, watching others occupy their own land and slaughter their own people but dare not have the slightest resistance, what kind of sadness is this for a Dakang soldier Zhao Dengyun said: "You send someone to closely monitor the movements of Dongliang County, and if there is any abnormal movement, report to me immediately." ” "Yes" Although it is a more, but the amount is a lot, 6,000 words to be continued
