Chapter 499 Changes in the situation-Battle of Caishiji
This was an important military situation, and the defenders had to be notified immediately through beacon fire. There was not enough wolf dung, so Lieutenant Lin called Ke Daxiang and asked him to bring some up from the warehouse. After he sent a basket, he returned below and saw that the wolf excrement was not enough.
There were some good things growing in the cracks. Although they were dried, they could still be eaten after soaking. These were stone fungi, a kind of mountain treasure. He hurriedly picked them and put them in the basket.
Captain Lin came down from the beacon tower after an hour, with a happy face. There was no doubt that Song Ying had received the news and responded to him.
In the south of the Yangtze River, Yu Yunwen immediately summoned the generals in the army and said to everyone: "If the enemy crosses the river, it will be useless for you to run away. Now there is a big river in front of us, and the land is favorable to us. We should survive in death. Moreover, the country has supported you for so long.
, can’t we fight for our country?”
When the soldiers guarding the camp heard this, they thought it made sense and expressed their willingness to obey Yu Yunwen's command and live and die with Caishiji. Yu Yunwen assigned all 15,000 soldiers to tasks: the army was divided into five groups to support each other.
The navy was also divided into five teams, one on the east and west side of Caishiji, equipped with enough rockets and artillery; the first team was cruising in the middle of the Yangtze River to lure the enemy deep; the second team was hidden in the reeds and could suddenly
attack.
In the early morning of the next day, the Jin soldiers secretly sent a small boat to land in the south of the Yangtze River. They planned to establish a foothold first and then follow up with the main force. Several hundred forwards had just landed and before they had a firm foothold, they entered the ambush circle and were met by General Shi Jun leading 2,000 troops.
They intercepted and killed them on the way. The loach boat rushed out from the reed swamp again, and the sound of killing was loud, and the sound of cannons roared. It blasted the Jin soldiers' boats that were sneaking into the air.
The sneak attack failed. When Wan Yanliang heard the news, he was furious. He killed the person who proposed the plan and laid a flag. He then mobilized the Jin soldiers and said: "This guy has dampened the spirit of our army. Our army is 200,000, and the Song army is only 20,000. Why do we need it?"
Sneaking? Send an order to the whole army to attack the south bank with all their strength tomorrow with great fanfare."
Lieutenant Lin was very excited when he received the news of the victory. He ordered the pheasants he had killed the day before to be cooked into a dish to celebrate. Zhao Wei and others started to get busy. When they cut open the pheasant's belly, they found several unlaid eggs. Ke Daxiu picked it again.
I had stone fungus, so I decided to have stone fungus stewed chicken.
The cooks first soaked the stone fungus in warm water, washed it, and cut it into diagonal pieces. Cut the pheasant meat with a flower knife, break the chicken in the belly, take the egg white, salt, and arrowroot starch and mix them well. Put it in a pot, pour in water, and boil.
Put down the pheasant meat and stir it up, then move it to a warm fire and stew it for four times, then add the stone fungus, cover the pot, and continue to simmer for an hour. When the meat is tender, add refined salt and pepper.
"Businessman·Stewed Pheasant with Stone Ear"
There are peaks in all the mountains, but who knows that rocks have ears? The dangerous peaks and dangerous rocks were skillfully picked and soaked in warm water. A pheasant was shot and an egg was obtained. The pheasant meat was wrapped in egg white with a knife and simmered with spices.
This is the celebration banquet for the victory in the first battle. Whether you can return home alive depends on tomorrow's decisive battle! Everyone is in a heavy heart and excited. Pheasant is also called pheasant, the meat is tender and firm, and stone fungus is also a mountain delicacy. The combination of the two is very delicious.
It was delicious. The crowd was in high spirits due to the happy occasion. In the atmosphere full of victory and joy, everyone ate vigorously. The collective had no sleep that night, and everyone was waiting for the fateful next day.
The next day, hundreds of warships of the Jin army came across the river in a mighty manner. When they approached the shore, they found that the Song army was already in full formation. The local people were watching and cheering for more than ten miles. The Jin soldiers were shocked. When they thought, the spectators were just
The people had nothing to fear. So they landed one after another.
Yu Yunwen made a prompt decision and ordered General Shi Jun to lead the infantry to attack. Shi Jun waved his swords and took the lead in charging into the enemy's formation. The soldiers' morale was high and they fought desperately. The arrogant Jin soldiers had not encountered strong resistance since they marched. When they got off the ship,
There were no horses, so they were immediately defeated.
The Song Army's warships on the river also took advantage of the navy's flexibility to intercept the Jin Army's fleet and rush towards the Jin Army's ships. For a time, smoke and lime filled the river, making it impossible for the Jin Army to resist. Many enemy ships were hit and sunk, and some
capsized on the river.
At this time, a group of Song troops who had broken up from Henan happened to arrive at Caishiji. Yu Yunwen regarded them as suspects and lined up to wave flags, shout, and beat drums from behind the mountain to the riverside. The sound of killing on the south bank was loud, and countless flags were waving. Jin
The soldiers thought that reinforcements from the Song Army had arrived and fled back to the north bank in a hurry.
As expected, it was very satisfying. For such a large-scale battle, even if you stood on the beacon tower on the top of the mountain and looked at the river and listened to the sound of drums, you could tell that the Song army had won without even looking at the beacon fire. Everyone on Jilong Mountain was happy and excited. This was very satisfying and should be congratulated.
After discussing with Zhao Wei, Captain Lin cooked the last pheasants and turtles to celebrate.
The cooks put the remaining pheasants in a pot of cold water, divided the water and washed them. The big turtles were slaughtered and scalded, and the black membrane was removed, then the shells were removed, the internal organs were washed, and they were blanched in a pot of water. Take out the turtle meat and suck it off with a clean cloth.
Remove the water, remove the dry arrowroot powder, add the minced pheasant meat, and form a "turtle egg"
.Put it in, cover the turtle with its back facing up, and put it into the casserole. Put the pheasant in the casserole too. Pour in the chicken soup, add Shaoxing wine, green onions, ginger, and salt, and steam it in a basket until the pheasant meat is crispy. Take it out and remove it.
Onion and ginger, add winter bamboo shoots, mushrooms, ham, and cabbage hearts, then steam briefly in a basket and serve.
The steamer is freshly woven from bamboo and is filled with the aroma of fresh bamboo.
When the turtle is slaughtered, the cooks drain the blood completely, remove all the black edges around the carapace, and steam until the soup is thick and the meat is tender.
"Youth Tour·Farewell My Concubine"
Slaughter the old turtles and put them into hot soup, remove the black membrane, remove the shells and intestines, make minced meat into eggs, and wrap the turtle meat with arrowroot powder.
Remove the pheasant feathers and put them into a casserole, add wine, green onions, ginger and salt. Wait until the meat is tender, then add winter bamboo shoots. Who knows how delicious the soup will be?
As soon as Farewell My Concubine came out, the soup was clear, fresh and mellow, and the pheasant and turtle meat were tender and crispy. Everyone praised it. Although the seasoning was slightly insufficient in the wild, the heat was right and the nutrition was rich, even if it was served at the palace banquet.
, it is not inferior to any other, it is truly the best among the delicacies.
That night, Lieutenant Lin raised the beacon fire again on the Jilong Mountain beacon tower and informed the Jin soldiers that after the naval forces were defeated, they were stationed at Yanglin Ferry.
The next day, Yu Yunwen sent naval troops to attack the Yanglin Ferry on the north bank of the Yangtze River. They used powerful crossbows and thunderbolt cannons to attack the Jin army and burned the enemy ships. Suddenly, the fire soared into the sky, just like the story of burning Red Cliff all over again.
Over the mountain village, countless pheasants and wild ducks that were startled by the artillery fire and nesting in the reeds flew over. Ke Daxiang and the soldiers used their bows and arrows, and within a moment, they shot down a lot of pheasants.
Dozens.
Everyone happily ate the food together. Tomorrow, the dishes for the celebration banquet will be ready. The cook carefully found all the seasonings and prepared for everyone to have a good meal.
After a while, Lieutenant Lin came down from the beacon tower. Because the fire was so strong, the fire of Jinying Water Village in Jiangbei could be seen in the village. Everyone knew the result, but Captain Lin said it himself, and they still cheered:
"We have made a triumphant return and will soon be able to return home in glory."?
