Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 120 Interrogation (Sixth)

Luo Youdu walked on the battlefield where corpses were strewn across the field. Eight thousand soldiers lost in this battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty were all the result of not resisting and fleeing.

Luo Youdu never imagined that Tang Jun would choose not to fight in the end, but to grab the boat and escape with all his strength.

Once this fighting spirit is lost, the Southern Tang army will be slaughtered like piglets.

Sure enough, as the old saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the whole army will be exhausted.

I don't know if Han Xinquan knows, will he lift the coffin and die again.

However, Luo Youdu felt that Liu Yanzhen should thank himself for the death at his own hands.

In order to get his boat, I specially gave him the Zhengyang floating bridge...

To know that in history he died even more stupidly.

Because there was no interference in history, Guo Rong's personal conquest took place in March of Xiande's third year, not the current December of Xiande's second year.

At that time, the water level of the Huaihe River had risen. When Li Gu besieged Shouzhou, he learned that Han Xin of the Southern Tang Dynasty had led a navy to the Zhengyang floating bridge.

Li Gu was obviously bluffed by Han Xin's name, so he withdrew his troops and gave up the siege of Shouzhou. He planned to withdraw to the Zhengyang floating bridge and join forces with Guo Rong to attack Shouzhou.

Then Liu Yanzhen drifted away. Seeing that Li Gu had withdrawn, he directly led his [-]-odd sailors to abandon their boats and go on foot to chase down Li Gu's retreating troops. You must know that Li Gu led the twelve generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, nearly [-] soldiers. horse.

Guo Rong was angry that Li Gu retreated rashly and asked Li Chongjin to replace Li Gu.

After Li Chongjin arrived at the front line, without saying a word, he killed Liu Yanzhen in minutes.

Therefore, with a general of this level, Luo Youdu really didn't dare to use any advanced tactics against him, for fear that he wouldn't be able to understand it, so he wouldn't be fooled.

But there is one thing to say, Liu Yanzhen is also a talent from the side.

Even if he lost so stupidly, there were not many people scolding him in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Instead, he was named Zhongshuling and gave him the posthumous title of "Strong".

I can only talk about money, which is really a good thing.

"gentlemen!"

Pan Mei came striding forward with an excited face, and said: "The statistics are out. This time we have seized a total of one five-story ship, ten fighting ships, 55 walking boats, 85 sea falcons, and 120 yachts." , and 150 transport ships.”

Luo Youdu's eyes lit up when he heard the names of these warships, and he said with a smile: "The harvest is really a lot."

He remembered that the navy in the Southern Tang Dynasty was extremely developed and had various means of attack.

When the Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, it also suffered a lot from the Southern Tang navy.

But God is looking towards Song Dynasty. The Southern Tang navy grabbed the warship of Song Dynasty with iron claws, and then sprayed the Song army with secret weapon kerosene.

As a result, the wind direction suddenly changed, and the kerosene was blown to and ignited the Tang army's own boat, which burned the Southern Tang navy and lost its hegemony over the Yangtze River.

From these hand-to-hand combat boats and assault and collision boats, it can be seen that the Southern Tang Navy has indeed put in a certain amount of effort in the study of water warfare.

Luo Youdu paused and asked, "How much food and weapons are there?"

Pan Mei said: "This is not much. The ordnance has not been counted yet, but the grain on the boat has been counted. There are more than 2 shi."

"It's not right!" Luo Youdu mused, "This number is wrong. Did you catch the general? Bring it to me, and I will interrogate myself."

Pan Meidao: "Ben caught three, and one was shot trying to escape."

It was Wu Yanhui, who was imprisoned by Cao Bin in the Huaihe River, who escaped.

Hearing the roar of killing outside, relying on his familiarity with water, he intends to dive and leave.

There are quite a few soldiers who have this idea. The main purpose of the soldiers guarding the shore is to prevent them from going ashore to support the Southern Tang Army in battle. There is no strict requirement for them to escape or not, as long as they do not approach the shore.

But they couldn't be indifferent, otherwise they would all run away and it would be difficult to do business, so they shot a few rounds at the fleeing people with their bows and crossbows.

Unfortunately, Wu Yanhui was shot in the thigh and drowned in panic.

Those who escaped by relying on water diving, in fact, few were able to escape alive. On the contrary, they just stayed still and all survived.

After a while, Zhang Yanhan and Cheng Shilang were brought closer.

Both Tang generals were still in shock.

Zhang Yanhan saw with his own eyes that Liu Yanzhen was trampled to death by Shi Shouxin's war horse. The scene directly made him stand on the spot in a daze, not daring to resist.

Cheng Shilang was similar. He led [-] soldiers to confront Pan Mei, Cao Bin, Zhang Qiong, and Chang Side, and the four generals cooperated to kill them without any power to fight back.

In the end, Chang Side fell to the ground with a knife.

Thanks to his poor ability to pierce armor with a hand knife, Cheng Shilang was able to save his life by wearing two layers of armor.

"Tell me, where are the food and equipment hidden?" Luo Youdu put his arms around his chest.

Zhang Yanhan and Cheng Shilang's expressions changed.

Luo Youdu said: "You dare to attack my Zhengyang pontoon bridge so arrogantly, you are bullying me that there is no navy in Dazhou. My lord has the heart to build a navy, and I have tried my best to lure you to the land to destroy them. Capture your battleships and form a navy. Now that you have warships, you need a commander of the navy. I have no shortage of generals and cavalry, but only water generals. You two, I will keep one and watch for myself manage."

Cheng Shilang immediately said: "In the upper reaches of Dongfei River..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yanhan shouted in horror: "Liu Yanzhen stormed the Zhengyang Floating Bridge to attract the support of the army that besieged Shouzhou. He let Huangfuhui and Yao Feng take the opportunity to attack the Zhou soldiers who besieged Shouzhou. They attacked the Mingxiu plank road and secretly attacked Chen Cang." The idea is to transport the grain and military equipment placed in the upper reaches of the Dongfei River into Shouzhou by water. The person in charge of transporting the grain is called Chen Chengzhao, and there are only [-] soldiers, and the rest are recruited boatmen and transporters."

He spoke urgently and quickly, and his voice was loud, directly suppressing Cheng Shilang.

Cheng Shilang looked at Zhang Yanhan sadly and angrily.

Luo Youdu said with a smile: "Okay, you are one in charge and one in charge, there is no need to compete."

Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others around couldn't help laughing.

A flash of excitement flashed in Luo Youdu's eyes and he said: "I just find it strange that your main purpose is to support Shouzhou, and you only brought more than 2 shi of military rations, which is not enough for your army. There must be other places to store rations. It's the idea..."

As a businessman, Luo Youdu is the most calculating.

A young and strong man eats two liters of rice and 30 shi of grain every day. Calculated by this ratio, [-] troops can only eat for [-] days.

There are about 4000 people in Liu Yanzhen's department, and the food they bring is only enough for more than [-] days, which is not in line with the law of using troops at all.

No matter how stupid Liu Yanzhen is, she can't even count on eating, drinking, and messing around.

After pondering for a while, Luo Youdu immediately ordered: "Captain Zhao Du, take all the captives to our camp. Zhongxun, you stay and continue to clean the battlefield. Chang Dutou, you lead the Imperial Battalion Division to guard the ships, and wait Let the officials send troops to take over. Brother Shi, Guohua, you immediately take all the cavalry, and we will grab food."
