"Godmother, there is a rat war in Nanjun and Poyang Lake is frozen. The Great Zhou court will definitely do its best to rescue the disaster. God helps us!"
Li Mingde, who received the news, was overwhelmed with excitement.
Although this seems a bit gloating and not very good, in fact, this disaster does give the development of the three routes valuable time.
Gu Nanxi's face was heavy, and ordered the four thousand Yunzhou soldiers he brought to suspend the change of defense and were assigned to Suining County. He repeatedly reminded him to strengthen his vigilance.
Li Mingde was puzzled: "Why?"
Gu Nanxi did not wear fur, but instead wore a cotton jacket.
This is the first finished jacket made by the textile workshop with southern cotton, and the green hunting pattern was woven with a jacquard machine.
Cloaks are not as warm as fur, but they are much warmer than squid jackets. When cotton planting is widely popular, the price of cotton will also decrease, and ordinary people can afford cotton jackets.
Unfortunately, this process will probably be delayed for several years.
Gu Nanxi's eyes showed regret: "The temper of our official family is a bit rebellious. If there was no disaster, between fighting and not fighting, he would definitely choose not to fight. But once there is a disaster, he will most likely choose to compete with us."
Just like a child in the rebellious period, don’t mind him, let him make his own choices, but he can calmly analyze the situation and make the right decisions.
Once someone gives advice or force him, even if it is forced on objective conditions, his rebellious spirit will come up.
Even if reason tells him that he should bear this tone at this time, he will still feel that God is the eldest, my second child, if you don’t accept it, you will do it!
Li Mingde said anxiously: "Godmother, what should we do? Didn't you say you should build high walls and accumulate grain?!"
Gu Nanxi patted Li Mingde: "Don't worry, everything is in control."
…
Twenty tower ships covered the sky and the sun, blocking the river channel tightly, leaving only waterways for small ships to pass on both sides.
It’s not that Li Sui didn’t want to stop them all, but that the boat drew too deep and would easily get stuck if it approached both sides of the shore.
A small merchant ship after another, as if he had not seen these giants, rushed towards the Hezhong Mansion.
Being ignored by others, Li Sui almost laughed angrily: "I really want money but don't live! Do we just have no sense of existence?"
Zhao Jun stood on the deck, not far ahead was the fork of the river, but he could not see the shadow of the warship in Hezhong County.
Zhao Jun's heart was full of ups and downs.
The husbands in Kyoto are not clear, but he is in Guangde Mansion! One warship in Hezhong County is launched every three days!
Although their warships are not as big as the tower ship and look weird in shape, Zhao Jun always feels that he can't be coveted!
After all, the opponent is Duke Yun! When Duke Yun did not kill and kill on the grassland, no one expected Duke Yun to be so good at fighting!
In his heart, Zhao Jun scolded the officials in the court all the time, but still had to obey the imperial edict and take away ten tower ships at the fork to Suining County.
Li Sui took the remaining ten tower ships to Hezhong Mansion.
However, when he was five miles away from Hezhong Mansion, the boat could no longer pass. "How long has it been?! Why does the waterway still accumulate?!" Li Sui was so angry that he stamped his feet.
Is this Yunzhou speed? !
Hezhong County is dragging Yunzhou’s back!
Someone explained: "This silt does not affect the passage of merchant ships. There are not many building ships in Hezhong County, so naturally they will not work hard to clean up the dredging in winter."
Li Sui was helpless. His Majesty's request was to fight to Hezhong Prefecture before noon tomorrow.
But now the river channel is silted, how can it pass? Walking past?
Stop making trouble. Li Sui doesn’t want to be captured like Song Shoujie, which is not embarrassing enough!
Where did Li Sui lead troops to fight?
He had to ask the sailors on the ship: "In the past, how did you solve this situation?"
The navy officers and soldiers who were asked looked at each other, and finally a thin and black man said boldly. "In the past, we would also have ships in addition to the building ships. A ship was equipped with five to six ships in the building."
The ships were light assault clutches, covered with cowhide and fireproof, and were generally equipped with a turbulent oil cabinet and archers.
As for why I am not worthy of writing this time, because the official has not written it, and the official has not allowed me to be worthy of it!
The Minister of War had the courage to ask the officials about this question.
The official has a clear statement: "They are going to attack the city! How can a mere siege pose a threat to the towering city wall? Instead of spending troops to drive the siege, it is better to drive an extra tower ship over. Besides, the river pool is deep, and the tower ship can directly drive to the city of Hezhongfu!"
Although Li Sui didn't know the official's answer, at this time, Li Sui only had four words [Talking about War on Paper] in his mind about the combat strategies written by the official!
Li Sui had an inexplicable premonition that he and these sailors would probably become cannon fodder.
At this moment, Gu Nanxi, Li Mingde and others were standing on the wall of Hezhong Mansion, looking at the wide river surface from afar.
Song Shoujie was also invited.
Li Mingde reported: "Many merchants said that their merchant ships encountered ten tower ships twenty miles away from Hezhong Prefecture."
Every ten meters, there was an iron lump covered with red cloth on the city wall.
Next to it, there are two wooden boxes.
Six fully armed soldiers were guarding the surroundings, with a solemn expression.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
Song Shoujie looked at it several times, but he couldn't see what it was.
I didn’t have it when I came to the city wall last time, but now I have it. I guess it was brought by Duke Yun from Yunzhou.
Gu Nanxi took out the telescope and asked lightly: "Mr. Song, tell me what you think."
Song Shoujie has been in Hezhong County for so long and understands that Duke Yun will definitely not let him go back. Even if he goes back, he will not have his own place in the court.
Since that's the case, it's better to surrender to Duke Yun directly.
Song Shoujie thought for a while: "At the speed of the tower ship, you can reach ten miles away today. They should send a marshal to spy on the situation first. We can send a wave of warships to annihilate the marshals."
This is a very normal idea of water war.
The trolley is equivalent to the frigate of a building ship, so of course it must be knocked out first.
Li Mingde nodded repeatedly, yes, that's it.
Gu Nanxi did not reply, but kept looking into the distance with her telescope.
Song Shoujie didn't wait for Duke Yun's reply, but saw Duke Yun took a long tube of something and put it in front of him, not knowing what he was doing.
Did you answer wrong?
Impossible. I have fought for so many years, and it is impossible for me to make a mistake!
After a while, Gu Nanxi put down his telescope, his expression mixed with confusion, disbelief, and even a hint of self-doubt.
Song Shoujie swallowed: "Sir, what's wrong?"
"No sign. They have reached five miles."
Ha? !
Seeing that Song Shoujie didn't believe it, Gu Nanxi handed him the telescope.
Song Shoujie learned from Duke Yun’s posture, picked up the telescope and slammed it in front of him, and saw a figure of a tower ship appearing in front of him.
Damn it! This is a clairvoyance!
Damn it! They really didn't bring any signs!
The chief general is afraid that it is not an undercover agent sent by Duke Yun? ! (This chapter ends)
