On the other side of Jingkou, on the banks of the canal in Jiangbei, this is the central army garrison of the main force of the Great Zhou army naval division mobilized from Tokyo, with the commander Han Tong.
Han Tong stared with big eyes, a stern face that could not be approached, and said expressionlessly: The quarry navy planned to go on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Xiande, and launched an attack on the Jingkou water surface on the tenth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of theThe Hantong troops in Yangzhou jointly attacked the east side of the enemy on the 10th morning of the first lunar month, and tried their best to break through the canal blockade and the entire army entered the river; if successful, they would work hard to attack the east side of the enemy.He also appointed Han Tong, the commander of the Guards Division, to make decisions before the opportunity.The military mansion of the Qianying of Jiangnan, written by Guo Shao.
After Han Tong finished reading it, he slapped the general on the table and raised his head.
Looking back, both generals turned to look at themselves, all standing except him.
Han Tong asked: What do you think?
A general turned around and said: Just fight!
Han Tong nodded: Don’t make trouble this time. If you want to fight, be more careful. Whoever loses my face and lets the person surnamed Shi have something to say; otherwise, I will not be so easy to talk to!Everyone, go and prepare immediately and set off early on the 11th day of the New Year.
Someone asked again: What if the weather is not good there or the wind direction is wrong?
Han Tong said coldly: Even if the world has a knife, you have to row the warship into the river!
……
In the Zhou army camp south of Jiangning City, there were only a few people in the central army tent. Guo Shao looked at the few people sitting on the chair. Li Chuyun was no longer there. He left in the morning to quarry and mobilize the navy.
Guo Shao himself was also preparing to rush to Caishi Water Village in the afternoon. This battle was of great importance. He thought of encouraging the morale of the soldiers on the navy's ship.
In case Ankou and Chizhou are broken through by the Southern Tang army, the pontoon bridge of Caishi Ferry can also be abandoned.Guo Shao said that as long as the Tang army naval division in the southern Jingkou was eliminated, Han Tong's troops could join us and receive reinforcements from the rear of our country from the canals, and then regain the quarry; there were also Jingkou ferries that communicated between the north and south of the Yangtze River.
After saying that, he turned to look at Wang Pu: After I left the camp, the king's envoy should use the decision-making power of the land divisions of the former camp of Jiangnan Military Office. Shi Yanchao, Dong Zunhui and other generals should obey the king's envoy's intentions.
After hearing this, the generals clasped their fists and said: Look.Wang Pu also nodded in response.
Zuo You advised: Since the lord has handed over the navy's military power to General Li (Li Chuyun), he doesn't have to get on the boat in person.
Guo Shao said: The soldiers knew that I might be more effective in fighting in the navy.This battle is of great importance and will lay the foundation for the overall victory of the Battle of Southern Tang. Mr. Zuo does not need to persuade him anymore.
The crowd talked about it again, and Guo Shao stood up and left the position to leave the tent.
Soon, Lu Chengyong twisted a large sack and came out of the Central Army's tent, and caught up with him and handed the sack to the veteran general Qin Shitou next to him: This is something that the Lord is fair and commonly used, and now General Qin has packed it up.
Guo Shao turned around and said softly: Please be careful of the woman named 'Wang Yao', don't let her be in any danger.He couldn't help but emphasize: Wherever I go, I want you to follow you, but this time I keep you.
Lu Chengyong said: I will remember the lord’s instructions.
Guo Shao and his followers walked out of the headquarters of the central army and looked at the gate of the camp from afar. There were a group of soldiers gathering, some of whom did not even take weapons.
Zuo You followed Guo Shao's gaze and said: These people are miscellaneous soldiers in the camp, and they will follow us to pick the stones and board the boat.In the morning, I heard Wang Envoy and General Li talking about this in the central army's tent. General Li prevented the wind on the ninth day of the lunar month and needed people to row, but was afraid that there was not enough manpower, so he asked Wang Envoy to transfer people from Luying. Wang Envoy found some powerful people and miscellaneous soldiers who could still fight in various troops.I guess this is not a big deal, so I didn't tell my lord.
I see.Guo Shao nodded.
...The group of people gathered at the gate of the camp were the miscellaneous soldiers summoned from the various departments in front of the hall.
Among the Zhou army's imperial soldiers, the status of ordinary soldiers is not based on qualifications, nor on age.
On the contrary, those brave young and strong soldiers are the main combat soldiers, who are rushing forward in the battle formation and have a higher status; there are also some soldiers who have been in the army for too long and have not been promoted, with high military capital but the lowest status... They should have been eliminated to go to farm, but these people are very skilled and experienced in the army. They also need some soldiers who usually take care of horses and cook rice and other work, and these old soldiers do this.
Old Man Li is one of them. He is actually in his forties, but he has been sleeping in the open for a long time, his face is full of wrinkles and gray hair, so he looks older and is known as Old Man Li.
Old Man Li was a miscellaneous soldier under the second command of the Third Army of the Hu Ben Army. He served in the army for nearly thirty years. He was kind and had a good relationship with the soldiers, so he stayed with the redundant soldiers several times in a row.
The warrior Yao Erniu was also the second commander, helping Old Man Li come over with something and send it to him.
Go back, go back.Old Man Li waved his hand.
Yao Erniu said: You have to be careful.Although he didn't say anything, he seemed reluctant to let it go.
They are both martial artists who don’t know much about their literacy. Their separation is not as particular as officials, and their words are simple.Old Man Li said: I am just a boater, hiding from arrows.
Yao Erniu was also a dull person. He touched his forehead, turned around and walked a few steps, and then turned around and said: I haven't thanked Old Man Li for that matter yet.
hey-hey.Old Man Li smiled and said, "You can't tell me that kind of thing, it's different from others' mouths to Commander Zhang's ears."It's okay, go back, go back.
What they are talking about is what Yao Erniu wants to hide behind on the battlefield in Dangtu.
Later, Yao Erniu was often mocked by the soldiers and reported that he had won enemy soldiers on the battlefield, but no one believed it... Then Old Man Li told Yao Erniu's family affairs in front of others.
It turns out that the house that Mr. Li rented in Tokyo is not far from Yao Erniu's house, so he probably knows the situation of his house.
However, Yao Erniu has not been in the imperial guard for a long time, and is dull. He has not made many friends with the soldiers under his command. He is not familiar with Old Man Li at first... The soldiers learned that Yao Erniu's family is so sympathetic, and the people who were unwilling to testify for him and captured the enemy soldiers changed their words.
When the commander Zhang Jiankui heard about this, he also changed his attitude towards Yao Erniu.
So Yao Erniu is quite grateful to Old Man Li.In addition, he usually has a lot of appetite, so Old Man Li often gives him an extra piece of cake as a hot husband, so the two have a big age difference, which makes them have a good relationship.
When Old Man Li saw Yao Erniu leaving, he carried his package on his back and lined up with the surrounding soldiers. At this time, a general came to lead the troops, and the crowd followed the generals to leave the barracks and went on the main road.
The light snow in the sky is intermittent, and the surroundings are white, only the muddy road in the middle is dark brown, extending all the way to the distance.The new journey is in the distance that extends this road.
Han Tong stared with big eyes, a stern face that could not be approached, and said expressionlessly: The quarry navy planned to go on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month of the fifth year of Xiande, and launched an attack on the Jingkou water surface on the tenth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of the twelfth day of theThe Hantong troops in Yangzhou jointly attacked the east side of the enemy on the 10th morning of the first lunar month, and tried their best to break through the canal blockade and the entire army entered the river; if successful, they would work hard to attack the east side of the enemy.He also appointed Han Tong, the commander of the Guards Division, to make decisions before the opportunity.The military mansion of the Qianying of Jiangnan, written by Guo Shao.
