Sima Yi was a little depressed. His subordinates had just reported that the three people sent to Shatou Town last night did not come back. This is the third group of people. Each group has never returned. In academic terms, it is defined as missing. In fact,
He must be dead.
Zhuge Jin said: "Master, Shatou Town is Long Fei's military base, and it must be tightly defended. If it is true, as the master said, there are secret weapons there, it will be even more difficult to infiltrate."
"It's better to attack the plan directly. It's simple and practical!" Zhang Fen is a pragmatist.
Zhuge Jin heard this: "This is a way. There are not many troops stationed in Shatou Town. Apart from the navy, there are only five or six hundred people in normal times. If we pick a good day, we can capture Shatou Town with only a thousand people."
.”
The sun was shining brightly, and the whistle blew several times. The ironclad Xiangyang, which was still in the trial stage, slowly left the military port and began its long-sea training. Since having this thing, the Long Army's combat radius has been greatly expanded, and the surrounding areas
Small islands can no longer satisfy the appetite of the navy and continue to advance towards the wide ocean. Exploration is the most dangerous thing. If a wooden ship capsizes in a storm, it can only be left to fate. With its solid structure and powerful propulsion system, the ironclad ship can survive the storm.
There is room for fighting.
This time, Ling Tong set his target on a long strip of small island more than a thousand miles away from western Liaoning. It is small only compared to the mainland. This island is a group, composed of four large islands, about a few kilometers long from north to south.
Thousands of miles, even a few hundred miles from east to west. The primitive people on the island still lived in the era of eating hair and drinking blood, and the battles between the tribes have never stopped. There is a strange name there called Fusang.
This is the goal set by Long Fei. The first goal of the navy is to capture this island. Ling Tong does not understand why Long Fei is so angry at the Fuso people, although these barbarians occasionally drive small boats at the border of the empire.
Carrying out small-scale plunder does not mean to drive them all out. Long Fei's order is very clear. There is only one word for the residents of Fuso, and that is death. The cleaner the death, the better.
This time the armored warship was equipped with cannons, and there were three thousand soldiers armed to the teeth in the cabin, led by the prince Long Sheng himself. This was the prince's first war, so Ling Tong had to be extra careful.
The huge chimney on the battleship emitted billowing smoke and roared towards Fuso. Among the farewell crowd on the shore, two people looked at each other and disappeared behind the crowd.
Not far from Shatou Town is Jiangdu City in Guangling County. After receiving the report, Sima Yi finally showed a faint smile on his solemn face: "Very good, I finally left! I thought Long Fei had mobilized 3,000 men to strengthen Shatou Town.
The direction is, it turns out that we are preparing to go to sea."
"Do you want to take action immediately?" Zhang Fen asked: "According to the report from Tanma, several more giant ships carrying a large number of soldiers are heading towards Shatou Town, and they are expected to arrive in two days."
Sun Kang, the first general under Zang Ba’s account. Sima Yi was solely responsible for this operation. Zhang Cheng and Zang Ba both sent troops. It was considered a joint operation. In order to hide from others, all the soldiers arrived separately and disguised in various forms.
Various people entered Jiangdu City in batches. After receiving the mission, they continued to approach in disguise according to their respective destinations. According to Zhang Cheng, this mission must succeed and cannot fail. So Sima Yi was more careful than before,
Never reveal your true colors until the last moment.
After Zhao Tong saw the inverted jade sign, he felt that something must have happened. As a guard, guarding Shatou, guarding the dock, and guarding the secrets of Base No. 3 is his unshirkable responsibility. Since his uncle has given such an arduous task to him
He couldn't make any mistakes. Shatou Town was located in the heart of Jiangdong and was surrounded by enemies. How could he defend it? Zhao Tong couldn't sleep well for several days.
Shatou Town is just a small town by the sea. It has neither a city wall nor a moat. There are a lot of people coming and going in the town. It would be easy for the enemy to sneak in. After careful consideration, Zhao Tong decided to shrink the defense and use his own hands.
The limited troops inside must at least ensure the safety of the dock and base No. 3. A high wall has been built here to serve as a barrier in front of it.
On the night when the Xiangyang sailed, Shatou Town gradually fell into sleep as usual. Every household closed their doors and turned off the lights to go to sleep. But as soon as they lay down, they heard a fierce noise outside, and it seemed that someone was talking quickly.
Running, and there were a lot of people. Through the window, I could see that some places were on fire, and the whole town was lit up.
"General! General! Here they come! They are here!" A captain hurriedly got into Zhao Tong's bedroom and shook Zhao Tong awake.
Zhao Tong, who was sleeping in his clothes, suddenly stood up and reached out to hold the spear beside him: "How many people are there?"
"About three thousand! They came towards the dock from three sides and set fire to everything they passed. The town is already in chaos!"
Zhao Tong's eyes widened: "These bastards didn't even spare the common people. They immediately blew the trumpets and put the entire army on alert!"
"promise!"
At the gate of the dock, panicked people are gathering. Among them are locals from Shatou Town, as well as outsiders who come here to do business. In times of crisis, you can always think of the safest place, and the dock is undoubtedly the best.
There are not only high walls but also the troops of the Tianlong Empire. These simple people believe that they will be safe as long as they enter the dockyard.
"General! This...!" The captain looked at the more and more people gathering outside the door. He didn't know whether to let them in or not. If there are enemy spies among them, it would be no good for them to let them in, but they couldn't just watch it.
Watching those people being slaughtered by the approaching enemies.
In Zhao Tong's view, those who attacked Shatou Town were not regular troops. These soldiers had been attracted by the wealth of Shatou Town since they entered the town. They had gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, silk and satin, and all kinds of exquisite jewelry.
The target of plunder. It seems that these people have no desire to attack, and they are all focused on robbery.
After thinking again and again, Zhao Tong said: "Before those people come, open the door and let the people in!"
"General!" The captain hesitated: "What if there is a spy inside?"
Zhao Tong was also a little worried about this problem. The enemy would definitely want to sneak in with the people. Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly saw the Wancheng ship parked in the dock and was still under construction. Zhao Tong paid attention: "Put all the people in
Wancheng Hao, those who do not want to enter will be punished as spies. Archers guard the gate. If the enemy follows closely, you must not be lenient!"
"promise!"
The door of the dock opened, and the common people rushed in. The real common people obeyed the soldiers' instructions and entered the Wancheng's cabin obediently. Those spies were naturally unwilling to enter, and the captain did not want to talk nonsense with him, so he hacked him to death continuously.
After three or four visits, no one came out to cause trouble anymore. As the gate closed again, Sima Yi's army and horses rushed to the door of the dock.
"What kind of soldiers are these? Is this how you lead your troops?" Sima Yi was furious. He watched Zhao Tong bring the people close to the dock, while his own soldiers only focused on looting and had no intention of entering. If he could follow him,
The common people will definitely be able to break into the dock. It's better now that they have let the common people in and closed the door. There are no worries anymore and we can fight with them.
Zhang Fen said: "Sir, don't worry. There must be some of our people among the people. It's just right to put them in. Wouldn't it be faster to attack if you combine the inside and the outside?"
Sima Yi waved his hand: "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense and attack immediately. We must attack the dock before dawn!"
Three thousand allied troops rushed towards the dock with shouts. Zhao Tong raised his spear and as soon as he entered the shooting range, he immediately shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
Although there was no effect of firing thousands of arrows, the five hundred archers still effectively stopped the enemy's rush. Those who defended Shatou Town were all soldiers from the guard camp, who could bend bows and nock arrows, and gallop on horseback.
Some people even have experience in the navy, and all of them are all-rounders. The arrows produced by the Imperial Workshop are much more powerful than others in terms of speed and impact. This time, they are condescending and take advantage of them.
Advantage.
The coalition suffered heavy casualties, but Sima Yi did not order a retreat. The soldiers had no choice but to rush up. After paying the price of hundreds of people, they finally reached the wall. Ladders to climb the city and vehicles to rush into the city were prepared.
It's all right. After all, the dock is not a castle. The car hit the wall hard and the whole wall was shaking.
Zhao Tong pulled over the captain. You and your men will guard here. I will lead the troops out of the city and destroy their charge. Before waiting for the captain to reply, Zhao Tong said: "The 100-man team is following me!"
The gate was opened, and Zhao Tongtong rushed into the coalition formation first. The coalition forces that were attacking the city were caught off guard, and the people who were killed flipped over. Clay pots full of kerosene smashed hard on the rush car and the boarding ladder, and the raging flames instantly erupted.
It started to burn. These 100 people were actually galloping back and forth among the 3,000 people, as if they were in a deserted place. Sima Yi looked around: "Which one of you is going?"
Zhang Fen relied on his youth and glanced at Sun Guan with contempt: "I'll go and let this uncle rest!" Sun Kang had no objection to this. He knew who Zhao Tong was. He was the son of the famous Zhao Yun. The so-called
The tiger father has no sons, so he can be called a first-class military commander no matter how bad he is. Since some people are in a hurry to die, he is happy to watch the fun.
Zhang Fen was so excited that he screamed and slashed at Zhao Tong with his sword. Zhao Tong dodged, and the spear suddenly stabbed out from behind. The horse ran so fast that it couldn't stop. Zhang Fen could only watch as his stomach hit Zhao Tong.
Zhao Tong was unwilling to take Zhang Fen's spear. He was unwilling to do so, but now it seemed that it was too late to regret it. As for Zhang Fen, Zhao Tong did not regard him as a general, thinking that he was still an ordinary soldier. He casually drew his spear and charged into the enemy army again.
Seeing that all the chariots were burned, the enemy could not get close at all, and his goal had been achieved. Zhao Tong was not reluctant to fight, turned his horse and led his men back to the dock again. Seeing the sky light up, Sima Yi's three thousand troops and horses were still there
