marquis of jingan

Chapter 857

At this time when a war is about to be fought, it is actually a bit vulgar to talk about the benefits of an official position and the sophistication of the world.

But these things, sometimes have to say.

A team, or a collective leader, cannot just enjoy power alone without assuming obligations and responsibilities.

Take Shen Yi as an example, while enjoying the highest command in Huai'an, he must also be a distributor of benefits, and distribute the benefits that should be distributed to everyone reasonably.

Trying to satisfy the majority is one of his duties as a coach.

For the next few days, Shen Yi lived in Xiangshui Daying all the time, because he had to wait and see Bei Qi's movements at any time, and he could respond as soon as the Qi people made any moves.

The time has come to February [-]th.

This morning, just as Shen Yi got up from the commander's tent, Su Ding found Shen Yi. This General Su lowered his head slightly, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Shen, these few days..."

"General Xue led the navy and has been harassing the Qi army on the north bank. The attack was very successful. The Qi people on the north bank have tirelessly."

"However, just because they became impatient, the speed of their boat assembly has been a little faster. Up to now, there are only more than 300 boats on the north bank of Xiangshui Daying. Since yesterday, the north bank The people are changing frequently, and the general estimates that their attack may be within a day or two!"

Shen Yi stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones.

"Yesterday, I wrote to Lingsu's Lianshui camp. Once there is any movement on the eastern front, he will immediately dispatch five thousand-household battalions to support it."

Su Ding bowed his head silently, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, there are too many enemies. They can attack our Xiangshui camp on the east front and attack the Lianshui camp on the west front at the same time."

"And because they have a large number of people, they will be more flexible when deploying troops. If they find that our defense on the eastern front has become stronger, they may concentrate their forces to fight the western front at any time."

Shen Yi squinted his eyes and said, "Don't worry, General Su, I will make arrangements. You keep an eye on Qi people's movements at all times. Once their ships show signs of approaching the south bank, our warships will immediately anchor and fight with them." A water fight!"

"Yes!"

Su Ding didn't hesitate anymore, and respectfully clasped his fists and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

After the General Su saluted Shen Yi, he turned around and left in big strides.

After Su Ding left for a long time, a slightly nervous voice came from behind Shen Yi: "Ziheng..."

"Is this going to start?"

Shen Yi nodded, looked back at Zhao Er, who had been following him all this time, and said with a smile, "Isn't it just about to start a fight? Last year, the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty became angry and wanted to attack our Da Chen. Fear them, order the front line to fight when the opportunity arises, besides, we have been fighting for several months last year."

"It's not surprising when you fight."

Zhao Jizhou took a deep breath, shook his head, and sighed: "Up to now, I still feel a little unreal, as if I was enjoying myself by the Qinhuai River two days ago, and today I am at the front line, and I am going to fight with the Qi people. "

Shen Yi put his hands behind his back and walked outside: "Brother, if you are really scared, I will ask someone to take you back to Huai'an, and you will help me guard the imperial envoy's office in the imperial envoy's office. If there are any letters there, you will send someone to send them to Huai'an." Just come here."

Zhao Jizhou watched Shen Yi walk away slowly, and asked, "Where is Ziheng going?"

Master Shen didn't even turn his head.

"Go to the front."

…………

On the night of February [-]th, in the defensive "position" along the Huaihe River of the Xiangshui Camp, some scouts hurried over and said something to Xue Wei. After hearing this, Xue Wei said nothing. He reached out and patted Su Ding on the shoulder, then with a big wave of his hand, he led hundreds of people away from the fortification and ran towards the river.

And Su Ding, who was also on the front line, let out a foul breath, turned around and ran all the way, and ran to a small shed a little later, and saw Shen Yi who was writing something.

Su Ding lowered his head and cupped his fists, his voice hoarse: "Mr. Shen, the people of Qi have moved!"

Shen Yi looked up at Su Ding, with a calm expression: "It's expected, don't panic, where is Xue Wei? Have the warships been dispatched?"

Su Ding quickly said: "Back to Shen Gong, after General Xue received the news, he has personally led the naval warships to lift anchor and went to fight the Qi people."

"On our eastern front, there are currently thirteen warships, as well as some scattered medium-sized and small ships. General Xue is going to take them all out, and delay Qi people on the river as long as possible."

Shen Yi nodded. He kept the pen in his hand. After writing a few words, he finally finished writing the key content. He breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Jiang Sheng!"

Jiang Sheng hurried over to help Shen Yi sort out the letters on the table. There were three letters in total.

Master Shen looked at Jiang Sheng and exhorted: "These three letters are very important. You send them to the Lord as soon as possible. If there is any delay, I will rule you with military law!"

Jiang Sheng didn't dare to neglect, he quickly glanced at the names on the three envelopes, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, the villain will definitely deliver it before dawn!"

After saying these words, the letters in his hand had already been sorted out. Master Shen, who ran errands with a gold medal, put the letters in his arms and ran out in a panic.

After Jiang Sheng left, Shen Yi also stood up, looked at Su Ding, and said, "Let's go."

Su Ding was a little stunned: "Mr. Shen, this is the Chinese army, and you are about to take command of the Chinese army. Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the river to have a look, what can I see here?"

Master Shen didn't wait for Su Ding to answer, he got up and walked out.

"It's not a field battle. We need to be wary of the enemies in the front, back, left, and right. Now our enemies are only in the north. What am I still doing in the central army?"

After he walked out of the shed, he rode his horse and ran towards the bank of the Huaihe River with Su Ding.

At this moment, it was already dark.

However, the moon tonight is not bad. After all, it has just been a full moon for a day or two, and the moon is still very round now.

The moonlight spread obliquely on the river surface, and then reflected back, sparkling, very beautiful.

At this time, it can be seen from the telescope that there is basically no moonlight on the entire river on the northern half of the Huaihe River, only a few hundred boats can be seen faintly and faintly.

At the same time, there were already thirteen large ships on the south bank of the Huaihe River, bringing about forty or fifty medium-sized and small ships, and they had already weighed anchor, rushing towards the Qi people's ships on the other side of the river.

The disparity in the number of ships between the two sides is huge.

But in fact, the gap is not particularly large.

Because the ships of the Northern Qi Dynasty were not very big, even the largest ships on their side were still much smaller than Da Chen's thirteen warships.

Such is the disparity in shipbuilding.

In terms of shipbuilding, the south must take advantage of it, especially Dachen’s Fujian and Guangdong provinces, which often do business with Nanyang people, and their shipbuilding technology is quite good. In terms of purely shipbuilding, Dachen’s side even took advantage .

If it is a water war, Chen Guo will not suffer.

However, the Qi people will not face Da Chen's navy on the river. Their most important purpose is to transport the first batch of Qi people to the south bank, so that these Qi people can gain a firm foothold on the south bank, and then they Then pick up the second batch of people.

As long as it is sent back and forth five or six times, the Huaihe defense line of the Southern Dynasty will be broken if not broken.

Finally, there was a loud noise on the silent river!
"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, the sound of huge cannons came one after another.

Shen Yi, who was standing on the bank of the river, turned his head to look at Su Ding who was at the side, and said quietly: "Xue Wei fired."

With a worried look on his face, Su Ding lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes, this is the sound of our artillery, and the Qi people's artillery is not like this."

"It seems that General Xue has already met the people of Qi."

As soon as he finished speaking, another dull cannon sound came.

Su Ding's face changed slightly, he looked up at the river, and murmured.

"This...is the sound of Qi people's artillery."

Master Shen narrowed his eyes and looked at the surface of the Huaihe River.

Hongde's first battle in 12 years...

It finally started!
