Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    More than sixty ships just kept throwing incendiary bombs around the river bend, but only two-thirds of them were thrown. Almost most of the crossbows on the merchant ships and warships had problems. There was no way, the crossbows  The cannon is not the artillery of later generations, but even if it is the artillery of later generations, a barrel will be scrapped after hundreds or thousands of rounds.  What¡¯s more, most structures are made of wooden ballistae and trebuchets?  Well, there are eight ballistas on the battleship, five in front and three in back.  Even if each ballista can be fired a hundred times, continuous firing will definitely damage the structure of the weapon. Therefore, eight ballistas on a battleship can only eject four to five hundred incendiary bombs, which is enough.  damaged.  The armed merchant ships had as many as four ballistas and as few as two. On average, one ship was almost scrapped after firing more than a hundred incendiary bombs. But even so, the entire river bend had turned into a sea of ??flames.  .  Even so, there were still a few armed merchant ships that were so excited that they actually wanted to get closer and throw incendiary bombs, and as a result, they almost got their own ship in.  This fire continued to burn until the next morning, and even the people in Hancheng County could see it in the dark sky.  And until morning, Wei Yunqi gathered together a dozen ships with undamaged ballistae.  Then the dozen or so warships and armed merchant ships left Fenshui, entered the Yellow River, and arrived at the dock on the edge of the Yellow River outside Fenyin City. They threw hundreds of incendiary bombs until the dock and docked ships were all ablaze.  After a fire broke out, Wei Yunqi was satisfied and led the fleet back to Hancheng.  In this battle, during the initial battle with the Zheng army patrolling the river bend, three armed merchant ships were lost. After that, not a hair was lost at all. They were all long-range attacks. The opponent did not have any heavy-duty long-range attacks.  Weapons, I can only stare at those ships being burned.  Moreover, because it is a high-purity spirit, even if you use water to put out the fire, when the fire breaks out, it will really be a drop in the bucket. And later, because the fire was too strong, Zheng Jun had to flee, and the fire  Burning along the pier towards the shore, even the wood on the shore was almost completely burned.  ¡°At nearly noon, after Wei Yunqi received the information sent back by the ships staying outside the bend of the river, Wei Yunqi sent another more detailed victory report.  "At least nearly a thousand rafts and boats. Unexpectedly, all of them were gone in one fell swoop. What's more important is that it also destroyed Zheng Jun's morale and courage to attack us." Du Ruhui laughed loudly with beaming eyebrows.  .  "Yes, after this battle, most of their mountains of wood were burned. What else could Wang Shichong use to build boats?" Fang Xuanling stroked his long beard and laughed loudly.  "The major troubles are over, and Hancheng has no worries." The dark clouds of the past few days were swept away at this moment.  Even Wei Zheng, who had always had a dark face, now smiled. The old chrysanthemums are now blooming in autumn.  "What a Wei Yunqi. He was able to resolve such a crisis situation so quickly." "I wonder if Liang Shidu and the Turks knew the news?" Ma Zhou also looked delighted.  He was so lustful that he completely forgot that he was still angry at Wei Yunqi's rash move.  But Ma Zhou was also doing it for the sake of the country, not personal grudges. Besides, not only him, but also a large number of civil and military ministers were roaring together at the time. They must all be feeling a little embarrassed now.  "Even if Liang Shidu and the Turks don't know about it, we are not afraid if they want to attack according to the original plan. Anyway, all the preparations have been done. I am still afraid that they will not come. If they do come, it will be just for my troops.  "Sacrifice knife." I smiled coldly and said confidently.  Yes, even if such a big crisis can be solved, why are we still afraid that the two defeated generals, Liang Shidu and Turk, will fail?  However, no matter what, since Wang Shichong dares to stage such a big drama, then I will be rewarded generously in the future, otherwise, wouldn't it be too easy for him?  The Turks and Liang Division finally received the news, and knew that it was Wei Yunqi who personally took action. He only used about 60 ships to burn countless Zheng Army ships, and also destroyed the dock outside Fenyin City.  It was also burnt cleanly.  This move caused Zheng Jun's plan to prepare an air attack on Hancheng County to be killed in the belly. Moreover, the Hewan Camp near Longkou and the docks in Fenyin County were all burned to the ground. Zheng Jun only had 50,000 troops.  Being able to stare at him on the shore, he couldn't even make any counterattack. He could only watch Wei Yunqi return to Hancheng in a show of force after winning two votes.  At this moment, Li Yuan, who had already received the information from us, moved and stayed in the camp with 5,000 men to continue to confront Cui Shu. Li Yuan, on the other hand, led 25,000 men with lightning speed to cover up the attack.  Erzhi attacked and divided his troops into two groups, one to attack Longmen and the other to Fenyin.  Zheng Jun, who had just been burned by the fire and had not yet recovered, would have thought that Li Yuan would lead the Tang army behind him. Zhang Gongjin was defeated. His 50,000-strong army suffered over 10,000 casualties, with nearly 20,000 surrendered and less than 10,000 killed.  The remaining 20,000 demoralized soldiers fled to the south of Hedong County with Zhang Gongjin.  Although Cui Shu supported him, the northern part of Hedong County was still occupied by Li Yuan.After returning home, Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu had no choice but to retreat to the south of the county.  After this battle, Wang Shichong was furious. Taking a good opportunity, tens of thousands of troops were thrown in without even being able to catch a hair. He also lost nearly 40,000 troops.  Wang Shichong originally wanted to lead the army there, but in the end he was blocked by his ministers. He could only issue an order to reprimand Zhang Gongjin and Cui Shu, ordering them to strictly guard the south of Hedong County to prevent another incident. Otherwise, Wang Shichong would never spare these two.  Guy.  And Li Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although Hedong County cannot be retrieved by the whole county, the problem is that Wang Shichong suffered a big loss in this battle and lost his troops. In the short term, I believe Wang Shichong will no longer be good at it.  Move, the important thing is that I sent troops.  Although the total number of Wang Shichong's troops still exceeds Li Yuan's, there is no sign of counterattack. Instead, they retreat to defend the Luanshui line and several strongholds near the Yellow River, clearly turning their attention to me.  Moreover, Wang Shichong also sent an additional 10,000 troops to Nuxiang. It was obvious that this guy lost his courage after being struck by a thunderous blow from me, so he turned his attention to me. Moreover, Xu Shiji and Xu Shiji  Li Shimin's confrontation also slowed down.  It can be said that this young master¡¯s actions have made Li Yuan feel much more relaxed, and the pressure on the southern front has finally disappeared.  Therefore, after Li Yuan won, Li Shimin wrote again to express his gratitude to me, but it was more to express his gratitude to me on behalf of Li Yuan.  The old guy was too embarrassed to say it, so he had to let Li Shimin do it for him.  However, after winning the great victory, I was not relieved. I immediately informed Wei Yunqi and kept all the ten armed merchant ships that had just been launched. I also transferred ten more merchant ships and incorporated them into Hancheng County.  in the Navy.  After the armed merchant ships were equipped with ballistae, they transformed into warships full of murderous intent and covered in ballistae, like hedgehogs.  From now on, we will continue the routine patrols every month, and we must control the entire Yellow River and its main channels.  This must not be allowed to happen again.  All the senior officials of the Chinese Empire breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was Wei Zheng and others who were near Chang'an, or Qu Tutong and others who were far away in Bashu, they all grew up in order to be able to solve the crisis caused by Zheng Jun.  If not, the plan to conquer Shuzhong will inevitably be affected, and it is even possible that all the previous smooth progress will be wasted in order to protect the interests of Guanzhong.  Now, the crisis in Guanzhong has been resolved and has not affected the strategy of marching south. This is naturally the best result. Then, I will personally travel to Hancheng County to visit and express my condolences to those meritorious officials.  Although the ministers wanted to stop it, I insisted. In addition, Hancheng County is now in crisis, and it is still my hometown, and it is also a tax center in Guanzhong. I personally went to inspect it, which can appease people's hearts.  ,So, in the end, the ministers made concessions.  I directly rejected the ministers' request that I should display full guard of honor when traveling, and decided to rush to Hancheng with only a cavalry regiment of the Imperial Guard as my escort. However, I was stopped by those ministers, who thought that I was still the emperor after all, and could not do anything.  It would be too shameful to bring a full guard of honor, but at least you must ride in a carriage.  In desperation, I had no choice but to agree to their request. However, after about fifty miles out of Chang'an City, I summoned Li Xuanba's entire army to stop advancing.  "Bring me the horse." I jumped out of the carriage, moved my hands and feet, and greeted Li Yuanfang.  "Brother-in-law, didn't you promise that Fang Shangshu and Dean Wei would ride in the carriage? How come" Li Xuanba, who had already come closer, couldn't help but wonder.  "That's because they gave me a headache and I had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, your brother-in-law would never have thought of leaving the capital." The young master couldn't help but angrily said as he moved around.  ¡°After all, I am a man of both civil and military abilities. Why do you have to let me sit in a carriage and show off?¡±  Besides, is there any use in wearing clothes while sitting inside?  In fact, what is more important is that both of my wives are pregnant and cannot travel far.  Otherwise, I will definitely take the initiative to suggest taking a carriage. In this case, although I can't order anything with my wife in the carriage, I can still eat tofu and have some intimacy.  Now, instead of staying in a daze, it is better to move your legs and feet, practice riding skills, and take a look at the scenery along the way.  Soon, my young master¡¯s horse was brought over. With my roar, the horse under me screamed and spread its hooves, and began to run wildly on the road. The entire guard regiment also started to move.  Like a long red and black dragon, it goes upstream along a gray-white river and rushes towards the distance.  Two days later, when they arrived in Hancheng County, Wei Yunqi, who had already received the news, rushed to Nanhan Pass to greet him.
