Chapter 614
Ali Hague was not only puzzled by the sudden withdrawal of the Baisha Water Army from the water camp by the young emperor of the remnant Song Dynasty, but also full of doubts about Chen Yi's sudden enthusiasm and enthusiasm, so he was a little hesitant when he was eager to launch the battle against Qiong. However, he still expressed support for Chen Yi's suggestions on trying the Song army's virtual and real situation. In this way, at least he could tell the truth or false information in the wax ball, and also tell what Chen Yi's attitude was.
Chen Yi's experiment was very simple. According to the documents conveyed in the wax ball, because the navy troops of each battalion went out to fight the enemy from Guangzhou, it would be difficult to obtain reinforcements once the enemy attacked Fucheng. Therefore, once the enemy attacked Fucheng, it would be difficult to obtain reinforcements. Therefore, once the enemy attacked the Fucheng, it would be possible to burn Fucheng and withdraw it back to the port if it was difficult to resist and block it.
Then Chen Yi only needs to send three fleets to attack the enemy's three sea floating cities. If Changhua and Chengmai sends the floating cities to evacuate, only the Baisha Navy will resist, which means that the situation is true; if Baisha Water Camp leaves with one blow, it means that this is a trap, and the little emperor wants to launch a decisive battle from the sea to reduce the pressure to defend the local infantry.
Without further ado, after obtaining the approval of Ali Hague, in order to prevent the Song army from discovering that the messenger did not return, Chen Yi immediately sent three fleets to attack the sea floating city. In the afternoon, the warships that attacked Changhua and Chengmai stationed in Fucheng returned one after another, saying that the Song army fled after a fierce battle; the fleets that attacked Baisha Navy stationed in Fucheng did not return until Shen Shi, and lost more than a dozen warships.
Chen Yi hurriedly asked about the situation and led the thousand households to report that the Song army was very tenacious in resistance in Fucheng. They were originally worried that the Song army would come to help, but there was no enemy to help when the war was about to break through Fucheng. When they were about to break through Fucheng, the sentry ships they sent found a large group of warships appeared in the east. Because they were worried that it would be difficult to resist, they voluntarily retreated from the battle and prepared to return. But at this time they found that the fleet that appeared was traveling from north to south. When they approached, they saw that it was their own fleet under the banner of conquering Chameng.
This Qianhu was smart and thought that it was too strange that the conquest of Champa fleet appeared in the Strait at this moment, so he did not return to attack the Song army's floating city, but immediately returned to the camp to report. Chen Yi was shocked and immediately came to Ali Hague to report the battle situation and asked if he knew about Sodu's army's transit. After receiving the report, Ali Hague sat there for a long time without saying a word.
"You are handsome, don't you know?" Seeing Ali Hague sitting there for a long time without saying a word, he looked lost and depressed, he leaned over and asked in a low voice.
"I really don't know how they can do this. Isn't this arguing that I'm unfaithful and unrighteous?" Ali Hague sighed as if he had come back to his senses.
"Du Shuai, I just said that Suodu and Liu Shen were unreliable. They took action first and did not even say hello, and then acted secretly. However, evil will be punished, but they did not know that the Qiongzhou navy was waiting for them in front, and they caught them off guard!" Chen Yi chuckled, with a look of gloating.
"Oh, they were hit by the Song army, which was of no benefit to the Yuan Dynasty. It also affected the Khan's great cause of unifying the world. We should try to rescue him." Ali Hague was not thinking this way, but for the longer term, his face was dull.
"Yes, yes, everyone is very honest, but now that things have come to this point, it is useless to think too much. But I think this is our opportunity to advance, and it is even more difficult to lose the attack on Qiong General!" Chen Yi secretly scolded Ali Hague for being pedantic. People dumped you and were still worried about it, but he couldn't say that.
"What Chen Wanhu meant is that the battle against Qiong should be launched as soon as possible?" Ali Hague looked at Chen Yi with a sharp look and asked.
"Hu... I think it's right. One thing is that the facts have proved that the Qiongzhou naval army has come out in full swing, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Qiongzhou; the other thing is that the Song army will definitely return to the army to rescue us when we learn that we attack Qiongzhou, which is also a plan to surround Wei to save Zhao. The Khan will not blame him even if he knows that the tide period is about to pass, and we will have to wait until next month to attack Qiongzhou." Ali Hague exuded a terrifying murderous aura at this moment. Chen Yi was startled, but he knew that if he missed the opportunity, he would die, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"It seems that if we launch the battle to attack Qiong, they will withdraw the navy's reinforcements. I cannot be unrighteous if he is unkind!" Ali Hague nodded after hearing this.
"Du Shuai clearly saw that the sooner the battle, the better. Otherwise, the Qiongzhou Navy will attack... They have returned to the camp first, and we will face another fierce battle!" Chen Yi saw that his expression was a little slow, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"Okay, immediately call the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops!" Ali Hague thought for a while and said...
Ali Hague beat drums and gathered generals to discuss the attack on Qiong. The generals thought that the opportunity should not be lost and would not come again. They should take advantage of the battle between the Song Shu army and the Chameng Army. He also made a quick decision to order the troops to board the ship, load supplies, assemble to Xuwen Port, and then go out to sea to Qiongzhou after the formation of Yin time. It is said that the Yuan army can fight the world invincible, but it really has the capital. At the time of Yin time, the entire army was boarding the ship and assembled outside Xuwen Port. At the same time, they sent a vanguard fleet to reconnaissance the enemy situation.
Ali Hague's boarding commander, Deputy Commander Auruchi led 600 warships of all sizes, and 30,000 troops from the headquarters were vanguards, and forcibly landed and seized the beach; Chen Yi led 400 warships on the left wing to resist the Song navy of the Hui army and covered the army; Ali Hague led 300 warships, horse ships and transport ships, and two 10,000 teams of Tuwen Buhua and Qi Rongzu as the central army; two 10,000 teams of cavalry, Hongjila and Zalar, were the rear army, and after landing successfully, they could attack Qiongzhou, and then divided into two east and west routes along the post road to take direct access to Yazhou; the right wing was only 100 warships sent by the navy as a warning to prevent the other two water camps of the Song army from harassing.
On the 11th, the army attacking Qiong was set off one after another. Ali Hague boarded the flagship. It was just dawn. He saw more than a thousand warships in front and behind, which stretched for more than ten miles. The mast lights were like stars falling into the sea, which was very spectacular. According to the time of departure, the former army should have reached the middle line of the strait, and then it was just enough to catch up with the rising tide and help them climb to the beach.
Ali Hague knew that he had no turning back when he opened the bow. He would definitely be discovered by the Song army if he moved, so he had to win with one blow. Judging from the signals from the various armies, he still did not find the Song army's naval brigade. There were only a few whistle ships to monitor it from afar and did not dare to approach it. After passing the middle line of the strait, it was already dawn. Qiongzhou Island was like a huge monster standing on the sea. The smoke column rising from Qixing Ridge was like its gust of anger.
"Can you find the Song Army Navy Brigade?" The boat was very different from the rivers. Ali Hague felt a little dizzy and swung his knife into the cabin. He asked with his forehead pinched.
"Report to the Du Commander, the front army, left and right armies did not find the Song Shui Army brigade, but the number of sentry ships coming to spy on has increased, and they were all driven away by our warships." The deputy general came over and reported.
"Okay, let the front army accelerate its advance, and be sure to approach the coast when the tide comes and prepare for landing." Ali Hague instructed, "The left and right armies should not relax their vigilance, especially the left army must closely monitor the entrance to the strait to prevent the enemy from returning to aid."
"Yes, they are all handsome!" The deputy general immediately went out to pass the order.
Perhaps it was approaching the tide, and the warships were shaking more and more severely, and Ali Hague felt nauseous. There were already people vomiting outside the cabin, which made him feel even more uncomfortable. But as the leader of the army, if he was unbearable, it would greatly affect his morale. Therefore, he could only sit on the chair with his eyes squinted, which would only make him feel a little more comfortable.
"Report to Du Shuai, someone came to report that the envoy who had sent Guangzhou was back and asked to see Du Shuai!"
"Why is he back at this time? Let him get on the boat!" Ali Hague was feeling so uncomfortable that his stomach was overturned. The little thing he ate rushed to his throat. After hearing the newspaper, he was still stunned. The messenger had not even had a letter after going out for several days, and he chased after him. He thought about it and said with great enthusiasm.
"Du Shuai, didn't you agree with Shuai Suo to launch the battle of attacking Qiong yesterday, why did you set out today?" The messenger asked anxiously after getting on the ship.
"Agree with Suo Shuai? Didn't I send you to discuss this matter? Have you ever made any other agreements?" Ali Hague was confused when he heard this and asked back.
"Du Shuai, you sent someone to send a message the day before yesterday. The last time you checked the defense license plate was indeed something in our army." The messenger said in surprise.
"Do you know that person?" Ali Hague was indeed more surprised than him, and stood up and asked.
"The man claimed to be the guard under Du Shuai's tent. The general looked at him, but what if the thousands of personal soldiers under Du Shuai's tent were killed one by one? Therefore, the general did not pay attention!" The envoy realized that Ali Hague's expression was wrong and replied carefully. However, he complained in his heart that most of the personal soldiers in the tent were Mongolians and Semu people. They stood together and were almost the same in their military uniforms, and they could tell clearly where they were not familiar with them.
"Where are they?" Ali Hague suddenly had an ominous premonition and asked anxiously.
"Mr. Mo was also puzzled. He made an appointment with them the day before yesterday to come back together yesterday, but he left in the middle of the night, saying that he wanted to return quickly and return to the house. Mor. He delayed the return journey." The messenger replied with a depressed look on his face.
"Do you know the details of the agreement?" Ali Hague had already felt something was wrong, but he still pretended to be calm.
"Report to the Du Shu, the general did not avoid the Du Shu. The article says that the Chao Period passed, and our army will launch the battle to attack Qiong tomorrow. At that time, the general asked the general to set out for an hour to attract the Song army's navy. After our army launched the attack, the enemy will definitely return to the rescue. The general will take the opportunity to pass through smoothly. Although the general remembers it all, the content is probably like this." The envoy replied.
"It's broken!" Ali Hague felt dizzy after hearing this and said dejectedly.
"Du Shuai, what happened?" the messenger hurriedly held Ali Hague, who was shaking and asked him to sit down.
"We're trapped!" Ali Hague's face turned extremely pale, and the strength on his body seemed to be suddenly taken away. He shook his head and said dejectedly.
After hearing the envoy's words, Ali Hague was extremely depressed. He was very careful and still could not escape the little devil's plan. At this moment, he had figured out everything that happened before and after. The body that Chen Yi found on the beach was not accidental, but was intentional arrangement by the Song army. The personal soldier who went to the Sodu camp to deliver the letter was also faked by the Song army, because he had never sent any messenger at all.
"They are so vicious!" Ali Hague murmured in great frustration. The Song army used the corpse to pass on the fake information to him, and used their eagerness to attack Qiong to falsely reveal flaws. He thought that he would not believe it completely, so he would send troops to attack and verify it. At this time, they had already sent fake messengers to Sodu. On the surface, they were urging them to fulfill the agreement and cooperate with their attack on Qiong, but in fact they were using the conflicts between the two sides to achieve their goals.
Ali Hague knew that the conflict between him and Sodu had basically been made public, and the point of the conflict was that no one was willing to act as bait. But the little devil took advantage of this and sent a fake messenger to inform Sodu of his time to send troops. Although Sodu agreed on the surface, he secretly ordered the plan to deliberately delay the time of sending troops, hoping to wait until his side fought with the Song army before taking the opportunity to cross the sea and avoid the interception of the Song Shui Army.
However, both sides miscalculated this time. What Sudu saw was an experimental attack launched by its side. In order to verify whether the information was true, they dispatched more than a hundred warships, and the attack was extremely fierce. In the eyes of Sudu, they thought that it was their side who had launched an attack. They thought that the Song Shui Army would be attracted, so they took the opportunity to slip through the battlefield, but they didn't know that they had just gotten into the trap set by the Song army.
"Then why is it so calm now? Could it be..." The situation in front of Ali Hague wondered again. Since the Song Shuijun had already ambushed the Sodu fleet, since they had made careful plans, they would never miss one thing and let themselves break into the empty gate. In the calmness in front of him, there must be a lot of murderous intent, which made him shudder.
"Du Shuai, is the messenger sent by the deputy commander or several tens of thousands of households?" The messenger saw that Ali Hague's face was pale and sat there and muttered to himself, turning a blind eye to him, so he stepped forward and asked.
"Well, maybe yes. After I checked it later, you have worked hard, so go down and rest first!" Ali Hague was awakened from his contemplation and looked at the messenger.
"Xie Du Shuai!" The envoy saw that Ali Hague was no longer normal, so he might vent his anger on himself. Now he let himself go and quickly retreat like an amnesty.
"Go, lock him in the bottom cabin, and don't allow anyone to meet with him, and don't listen to him!" Ali Hague saw the envoy go out and called his personal soldiers around him to order. He had already understood at this moment that Auruchi and others would never contact Suodu without hiding it. The little thief took advantage of the inconvenience between the two sides to make a time difference and let them all get into the circle. The most important thing at the moment is to prevent the envoy from talking nonsense, which shakes the morale of the army.
