The Battle of Jilong Harbor took only two hours from the beginning to the breaking of the city, and even Li Ke, the king of Qi, did not expect that this battle would go so smoothly, the main reason is that the walls of Jilong City are too broken, and it stands to reason that such an important city in a strategic place should be built very strong; But there is a reason why it is happening like this.
This is first because the Chicken Coop City is located on Ryukyu Island, which is simply a paradise for the Great Song Dynasty, and this sea is the natural barrier of the Chicken Coop City.
The second is corruption, although the Great Song Dynasty paid taxes, although the front line was still fighting, but it still couldn't stop those officials from being corrupt, and more than half of the money for building the chicken coop city went into the pockets of corrupt officials.
In the afternoon, after the Xia army landed in full control of the chicken coop city, Li Ke, the king of Qi, landed on the land of Ryukyu Island under the protection of his personal guards, and Li Ke landed on the Ryukyu Island and said: "This chicken coop city is too easy to take."
Li Ke came to the city gate and said, "This wall is built to be useless."
"Your Highness, the silver used to build the city wall is estimated to have been embezzled by the Song officials, which is not a common thing in the Great Song Dynasty," a Xia general said to Li Ke.
Li Ke smiled and said, "Are our troops suffering heavy casualties in this battle?"
"Lord Wang, our army has less than a thousand casualties."
The general replied.
"How's the result?"
Rick continued.
"This prisoner of war captured more than 135,000 Song soldiers and the people in the city, in addition to hundreds of ships full of goods, and a large number of grain, grass, cloth, silk, porcelain and other baggage were piled up in the warehouses in the city, but the weapons and equipment were a little less; In addition, we also seized a large number of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings; The estimated total value is in the thousands of silver coins. ” "I didn't expect this little chicken coop city to be so rich."
Li Ke said with a smile: "The herald will organize the people in the city and rebuild the city wall, and our army will be divided into two routes, with 30,000 troops each advancing along both sides of Ryukyu Island. ” "Yes, the last general commands" General Xia immediately took the military order.
Changguo Island, the camp of the Song Army's naval division.
Since discovering the movements of the Xia Army's naval division, Li Bao led some of the ships of the Jiangnan Naval Division to Changguo Island, and moved his Chinese army's big tent here, of course, this is to report to Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty; It was approved by Emperor Zhao Mao of the Song Dynasty, but since the Xia army had already attacked outside the city of Chuzhou, Li Bao could use half of the naval warships, and the other half needed to stay in the Yangtze River to protect Jiangning Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Report, report, report to the general, Vice Marshal Miao is back."
A general hurriedly ran in and said.
"Let him in."
Li Bao said with some excitement.
After Miao Jiang came in, Li Bao grabbed Miao Jiang, who was very embarrassed, and said, "General Wang, have you found the location of Naha Port?"
Miao Jiang took out a chart from his body and said: "Marshal, the last general has found the location of Naha Port, this is the chart." ” "Well, that's great."
Li Bao spread the chart on the table and said: "With this chart, we will be able to capture the port of Naha and take the old nest of the Xia army in the southern seas. ” After Li Bao put away the chart, he said to Miao Jiang: "General Wang, you have made a great contribution this time, and this marshal will immediately report to His Majesty to ask for merit for you." ” Miao Jiang said with a smile: "Thank you Dashuai, but this is also what the last general should do; I don't know when the commander plans to attack, how many soldiers and horses he plans to bring."
"With the addition of the sailors stationed in Changguo this battle, Ben Shuai can only take 8,000 warships, and His Majesty has approved it."
Li Bao said to Miao Jiang: "All the warships have been prepared, and we will set off tomorrow." ” Miao Jiang said to Li Bao: "Marshal, the last general has just returned, I'm afraid I can't follow you on the expedition this time." ” "It's okay, it's okay, Ben Shuai doesn't plan to let you go."
Li Bao looked at the chart seriously and said: "You and I are the chief and deputy commander of the Jiangnan Naval Division, it is impossible to leave, after I leave, the defense of the Yangtze River will be handed over to you." ” "Yes, the last general will not fail in his mission."
Miao Jiang saluted Li Bao and said; At this time, Miao Jiang's heart was already happy.
"If nothing else, the general will retire."
Miao Jiang then said to Li Bao.
"Let's go down and rest," Li Bao said without even looking at it.
After Miao Jiang left, a general hurriedly ran in and reported to Li Baoyu: "Marshal Yu, I just received a report that General Wang has led the Fujian Naval Division on an expedition, and found the main force of the Xia Army's Naval Division off the coast of Fujian; General Wang asked the marshal to send some of the Jiangnan naval division warships south to support the battle. ” Li Bao got up from the handsome chair, walked to the map, looked at the map and said: "Fujian Coast, why did the Xia Junshui go there?"
But then Li Bao ordered: "The herald Wang Zongze does not need to rush to fight with the main force of the Xia Army's naval division, just hold them off and wait for further orders from the commander." ” "Yes, the last general commands" After the generals left, Li Bao looked at the chart and thought about the next strategy of the Song Army's naval division, unlike the Xia Army, which had a perfect staff system, the Song Army's operations mainly relied on the thinking of the main general, and the Xia Army had long been out of this model, and now the Xia Army's model is that the main general put forward a point of view, and then the generals discussed, and finally a special group of people to specify a detailed combat plan, similar to the current staff system.
According to Li Bao's battle plan, Li Bao will lead half of the main fleet of the Jiangnan Naval Division of the Song Army to the east to attack Naha Port, and after defeating Naha Port, the strategic supply base of the Xia Army in the southern seas, he will turn around and attack the rear of the main force of the Xia Army's Naval Division in the southwest direction, and join forces with the Fujian Naval Division to eat the main force of the Xia Army's Naval Division.
This battle plan was a good choice for Li Bao and the entire Great Song Naval Division, but there were also a lot of uncertainties.
The first is that Wang Zongze can hold back the main force of the Xia Army's naval division, and the second is whether Li Bao can conquer Naha Port in a short period of time, and then return to the division to participate in the decisive battle with the Fujian naval division against the main force of the Xia Army's naval division; In addition to these subjective factors, there are also objective factors such as weather; But none of this is in Li Bao's consideration, Li Bao is gambling, this is a golden opportunity for Li Bao, Li Bao does not want to lose it.
In the early morning of the next day, Li Bao led 8,000 warships to the west, and Miao Jiang personally went to see them off; Miao Jiang, who looked at Li Bao's warship, said very quietly: "I hope you will never come back." ” After Li Bao left, Miao Jiang officially took over the entire Jiangnan Water Division, and after Miao Jiang took over the entire Jiangnan Water Division, he immediately adjusted the personnel, and the entire Water Division was Miao Jiang's people up and down, and in a short period of time, Miao Jiang completely mastered the entire Jiangnan Water Division.
The first one is to thank the master for six recommendation votes:
