Han ride

Chapter 337 Attack on Pidao
"Because of this, we are going to attack Dongjiang Town even more." Fan Wencheng came out and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Baylor. Although the Phi Island Navy suffered losses after Kong Youde's rebellion, as far as I know, Li Xin attached great importance to Phi Island. Not only did he put all the grain and grass he brought back from the Central Plains on Phi Island, but more importantly, he also put all the Han people captured from our country on Phi Island instead of taking them to the grassland. Instead, he stayed in Phi Island, enriching Phi Island's strength. It can be seen that Li Xin did not give up Phi Island, but, like Mao Wenlong, planned to build Phi Island into a fortress that could always threaten my empress Daikin If the fortress on the road is not taken out at this time, Li Xin will definitely cross the Greater Khingan Mountains in the coming year, and together with Phi Island, will become a horn of power, and by then, it will be very difficult for us to pull out this fortress."

"It may be very difficult to conquer Phi Island at this time, not to mention that Phi Island has elite sailors, and more importantly, Phi Island has tens of thousands of elite soldiers. At this time, attacking Phi Island will cause a lot of losses." Although Daishan I agree with Fan Wencheng's point of view, but at the same time, the geographical location of Pidao is very dissatisfied. At this time, the attack will cause a lot of losses.

"Your Majesty, Baylors. This is the best time to attack Phi Island." I have to admire Fan Wencheng, a traitor, who is really talented. I just heard him say eloquently: "It's the middle of winter, and everyone on Phi Island will definitely not think that We are attacking, so our attack at this time can achieve the effect of being unprepared, which wins one; second, although Phi Island is in the sea, it is not far from the land. At this time, the offshore sea must have frozen, just right We can take advantage of this time to attack; thirdly, at this time, Li Xin and Ming Dynasty do not know our actions because of the heavy snow blocking the road, so they will definitely not support Phi Island, this wins three, this three At this point, we will definitely be able to conquer Phi Island."

"En, not bad." Huang Taiji couldn't help standing up and applauding. He also thought about pulling out the nail of Dongjiang Town, but unfortunately, he was extremely dissatisfied with the navy, and the Pidao navy was extremely powerful. Yes know.In later generations, the reason why Huang Taiji was able to destroy Pidao, apart from the support of Shang Kexi and others, was that the army attacked when it was freezing.Huang Taiji was naturally happy when Fan Wencheng proposed it at this time.

"Dorgon, this time you lead the army, remember, attack carefully, don't make the mistake of last time." Huang Taiji sighed.Everyone in the hall was silent. The last mistake Huang Taiji mentioned was the fourth year of Chongzhen. Huang Taiji appointed Leng Erli as the right-wing commander and Kake Duli as the left-wing commander. He led 500 cavalry and infantry. 500 people marched south to Phi Island.The two sides fought fiercely for more than ten days. After all, Houjin was no match for the fierce artillery fire of the Ming army and the inconvenience of using ships at sea.It was this time that Huang Taiji knew how powerful Pi Dao was.

Of course, the current Houjin is no longer the Houjin of the past, whether it is military or other aspects, it is already strong enough. With the guidance of Fan Wencheng and others, Huang Taiji believes that he has enough strength Attack Phi Island.That's why they brazenly ordered to attack Phi Island.

It was also in the bitterly cold place of Liaodong that Huang Taiji would order an attack. If it was in the Central Plains, when there were not many protective measures in ancient wars, fighting in winter would be fatal.Some soldiers held long spears, and in the end their frozen palms and weapons were glued together. Not to mention fighting, even marching was extremely difficult.But in Liaodong, such a bitterly cold place, fighting in winter also happens from time to time.

On Phi Island, it was originally a desolate place, because it is located behind Dajin, on the one hand, it has to guard against the attack of Jiannu, and on the other hand, Phi Island is not suitable for growing crops, whether it is North Korea or Even in the Ming Dynasty, there was not enough military supplies and food to supply Phi Island, so there were not many troops stationed on Phi Island, and even fewer people.Especially after North Korea was invaded by Jiannu.Whether it is the first general Mao Wenlong or the current Huanglong, there is no way to change all this.

However, with the arrival of Li Xin, 50 shi of food and grass helped Huanglong expand his treasury, and the Han people recruited from Jiannu helped Huanglong solve a big problem. Pidao Navy sailed on the sea all day long. , to help these people find islands suitable for living and farming, and these people will be able to provide food, grass and soldiers for Phi Island in the future.Make Phi Island self-sufficient in a short period of time.

Relying on Huanglong's power alone is not enough, but if Zhang Cai is added, it will be different.It is orderly when dealing with things.In the military, Zhao Guang and other generals are training soldiers and horses. Although Huanglong is in poor health, there is no confusion in Phi Island.On the contrary, there is a sense of prosperity.On Phi Island, there are not only Zhao Guang, but also Li Weiluan, Jin Shengheng and others. These people are fierce generals, and they are very handy in managing the army.

"Mr. Zhang, Lord Hou has done me a great favor by keeping you here." On the castle of Phi Island, Huang Long said to Zhang Cai who was reading a book with a pale face.Although he is the commander in chief of a town, he is very respectful to Zhang Cai.

"It's just doing my duty." Zhang Cai said lightly: "Although the grassland is big, I don't want it, the water and the soil are not acclimated!"

After hearing this, Huang Long just smiled lightly.He could vaguely guess why Zhang Cai didn't go to Yunzhong, but he couldn't force this kind of thing.Even if he is Huang Long, he can only be said to be Li Xin's subordinate, but he is definitely not Li Xin's subject, he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty, so he will not follow Li Xin to the grassland, but Li Xin wants Dongjiang Town, Huang Long is willing for him.

"I heard that Lin Dan Khan has gathered 10,000+ troops to attack Yunzhong. Do you think Hou Ye can defeat Lin Dan Khan in this battle?" Huang Long asked suddenly.

"Lin Danhan is just a clown. Hou Ye can naturally win, but the general soldier, I am not worried about Hou Ye, but us." Zhang Cai shook his head and said.

"Worried about us? Is it Jiannu? You are joking, my Pidao navy is brave and good at fighting. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji also wanted to attack our Pidao, and wanted to pull out the nails behind them in one fell swoop, but in the end So what, isn't it defeated by us?" Huang Long said nonchalantly: "Unless Jiannu's navy can defeat our navy, otherwise, they will not attack our Phi Island."

There is no way, the northerners are good at horses, and the southerners are good at boats.This is a truth that has not changed through the ages, especially for Jiannu in the north. People in the Ming Dynasty have been playing on the sea for hundreds of years, and this navy is different from infantry and cavalry. If you want to train To be successful, it takes a lot of effort.At the very least, Jiannu didn't have the ability for the time being.This is also one of the reasons why Huanglong is more at ease.

"If it was before, I wouldn't worry about it, but what about now?" Zhang Cai pointed to the sea in the east, which is close to North Korea, only a few hundred steps away from Phi Island, and the distance is very short.Huang Long looked in the direction Zhang Cai pointed, and suddenly his expression changed, because he found that the sea had frozen.

"You mean, they will attack when the sea is frozen?" Huang Long became uneasy. If so, they might really be taken advantage of by the opponent.

"Last time, Lord Hou set off from us. He detoured North Korea, copied Huang Taiji's hometown, and took away all of Huang Taiji's concubines. This is a huge flaw. Whether it is Lord Hou, or the court That’s right, as long as Phi Island exists, you can use Phi Island as a springboard to get into Jiannu’s heart in one fell swoop. Tell me, will Huang Taiji attack us?” Zhang Cai said solemnly, “Especially now, if In normal months, we are naturally not afraid of Jiannu's attack, because when Jiannu attacks, whether it is in Jinzhou or the Marquis in the cloud, they can take the opportunity to harass their rear, encircle Wei and save Zhao, so that Jiannu dare not attack us with all their strength But it is different now, the grassland is covered with heavy snow, neither Lord Hou nor Jinzhou can give us favorable support. If I were Huang Taiji, I would definitely take this opportunity to attack our Pidao, otherwise, After the beginning of spring, the ice and snow on the grassland melt, whether it is Hou Ye or Jinzhou, they can give us the strongest support."

"Sir, it's too alarmist. We now have more than 1 elite troops on Phi Island, the city wall of Dongjiang Town has been repaired, and all kinds of defenses have been done to the best. How can Jiannu come back to attack us?" Huanglong obviously didn't believe that Jiannu would attack Phi Island at this time.

"Drive, drive" Then at this time, there was a sound of a whip, Huang Long looked up, but saw a warrior dressed as a Korean galloping on a horse, the horse galloped on the ice, but it did not slip. , which shows that the knight skills on horseback are no small matter.Just looking at Huanglong's face is solemn.At the very least, horse racing is possible on this ice.It seems that one of my own advantages is missing.

"It's a Korean." Zhang Cai couldn't help standing up, looked at Huang Long and said, "Mr. Huang, get ready to fight! Koreans won't come to our Dongjiang Town easily. Since it's an adventure, there is only one possibility." , that is, Jiannu is going to attack our Phi Island, and the King of Joseon will send someone to report."

Sure enough, Li Weiluan, who was guarding the city today, sent people to greet him early. After a while, Li Weiluan went to the castle in person and reported the news to the two.Bingfeng is only a hundred miles away from Phi Island.
