The last three kingdoms

Chapter 228 Will not give orders to the emperor outside
Using a catapult to launch stone mines is almost equivalent to an artillery, but the distance is a little short. A real artillery can hit a target several miles away. The range of a catapult is about the same as that of a bed crossbow. It can hit seven or eight A hundred steps can reach the goal of a thousand steps.

Ordinary bows and arrows don't do much damage to warships. Even if rockets are used, as long as there are enough people on board to put out the fire, there is basically no threat.To block the entire waterway, Liu Yin had to use firearms as a big killer. The power of stone mines was astonishing. As long as they could hit the target, it would be a piece of cake for one stone mine to destroy a warship.

Of course, the accuracy of the catapult is the biggest problem. Once the stone mine falls into the water, it will be like an ordinary stone falling into the water.In order to make up for the accuracy problem of throwing stone mines by catapults, Liu Yin decided to use gunpowder arrows as an auxiliary means of attack. Under the impact of density, it is almost impossible for the warships of the state of Wu to pass through the Fushui.

This method is like building a fort by the river, which can effectively restrain the passage of Soochow warships. Although it may not be able to destroy the Soochow navy, it can completely stop the Soochow navy ships from transporting to Fucheng. Supplies food and grass.This move was like strangling Lu Kang's lifeline. Once the Wu army's food and grass were cut off, the entire army would not be far away.

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they remembered the firearms that had made illustrious military exploits. Using this weapon against the Soochow Navy is really invincible.

Without further ado, Liu Yin immediately mobilized troops to march into Fushui.Zhang Zun and Li Qiu led troops to garrison Qi County, while the rest of the battalions were deployed. After all, Wu Jun still had troops stationed in Deyang and Guanghan.

Just as Liu Yin was about to go out for an expedition, he suddenly heard that the imperial court sent envoys to announce the imperial edict.Liu Yin had no choice but to put down the business at hand and go to receive the order.

The imperial envoy who delivered the decree was an eunuch, and the man surnamed Zhang was the servant of the Huangmen. With a drake-like voice, he announced the decree loudly: "When the weather is right, I am ordered by you: now Wu counterattacks and takes Fucheng, and Chengdu has a day and night." In danger, Anxi General Liu Yin immediately led his troops back to Chengdu to secure the country. This is my honor."

Liu Yin bowed down to listen to the imperial edict, and when he heard that Liu Chan wanted him to return to Chengdu, his heart skipped a beat. He had already arranged a plan to defeat the enemy.

Seeing that Liu Yin was not moving, Zhang Shilang couldn't help frowning, raised his voice once, and said, "General Liu, accept the order."

"The minister Liu Yin accepts the order." Liu Yin came back to his senses and said hastily.

Zhang Shilang rolled up the imperial decree and handed it to Liu Yin. Then he said with a smile: "General Liu, Chengdu is in danger. Your Majesty is waiting for the general to come back to rescue you. Rescue is like putting out a fire. I hope the general will come soon." Some work."

"No." Liu Yin clapped his hands and said yes.

Zhang Shilang nodded in satisfaction, and said: "In that case, our family will leave first."

After sending Zhang Shilang away, Liu Yin immediately summoned the generals to discuss matters, and now the court asked to withdraw troops. Seeing that the plan to attack Fushui was about to fail, Liu Yin felt a little depressed.

"I don't want to give orders to the emperor outside, big brother, don't worry about the imperial edict for now, when we break the Wu dog, we can naturally explain to the emperor when we return to Beijing." Zhang Le said nonchalantly.

Fu Chen shook his head and said, "That's not right. Resisting the decree and not obeying it is a crime of rebellion. There is no rush to attack Fushui. Why don't you write a memorial immediately and submit it to the emperor to describe the plan to defeat the enemy?" For the details, I believe the Son of Heaven will make a clear decision."

Liu Yin nodded, disobeying the imperial decree is no joke, now Liu Chan is indeed on fire, no wonder Liu Chan is anxious to urge him to return to Chengdu to rescue him, according to Liu Chan's character, he has transferred so many Imperial Forest Army, which was lacking in the first place A sense of security, now the Wu army has entered Fucheng, but it's no wonder that Liu Chan was frightened.

But I really don't want to give up. Now that Lu Kang is taking the risk of attacking Fucheng, the long supply line is his only weakness. As long as he seizes the opportunity and stabs his weakness, the Shu army can easily turn the tables. win.And if they return to Chengdu, they will give up the great opportunity to annihilate Lu Kang. Lu Kang has no worries, and I am afraid that the offensive against Chengdu will be even more violent.

Liu Yin immediately asked Chen Shou to write all his ideas into the memorial. Liu Yin asked Liu Chan not to recall the soldiers of Qi County for the time being. With a strong city wall, even if Lu Kang came to the city with troops, he might not be able to break through the strong city wall.If the queen master is still very worried, it is better to transfer Jianning prefect Huo Yi's subordinates to King Jingqin.

Huo Yi, the prefect of Jianning, is in charge of the entire Nanzhong Seven Counties. Although he does not have the name of the general governor, he has the reality of the general governor.Huo Yi wrote several times to ask for troops to take reinforcements to Chengdu to protect the safety of Chengdu.However, Liu Chan did not agree. The situation in Nanzhong has always been unstable. The previous governors of the Tuo surrendered mainly to subjugate and appease, and to give both kindness and power, so as to effectively deter those barbarian tribes.

The deeds of Zhuge Liang’s seven captures of Meng Huo have always been talked about by people, but it seems a bit exaggerated. The barbarians in Nanzhong have been rebelling constantly. If it weren’t for the talents of those governors, Nanzhong might have broken away from the Shu Han. control.

Huo Yi didn't stop thinking about returning to Chengdu because of Liu Chan's refusal. He had been paying close attention to the movements of the government and the public. When he heard the news of the entry of Wu people, Huo Yi immediately dispatched 2 troops from Nanzhong, and went north to key. As a county, drinking horses by the Yangtze River, Huo Ge's plan is to seal off the Yangtze River waterway, so that Soochow will not have the opportunity to attack Chengdu from the south.For this reason, Huo Yi specially dispatched 2 troops from Nanzhong's limited force, led them personally, and went north to rescue Chengdu.

Liu Yin also knew the news. Although Huo Yi's soldiers were not many, they were experienced mountain warriors. When necessary, this army could be used to assist in the defense of Chengdu.

What's more, Liu Yin didn't think that Lu Kang's army, who had been cut off from the grain road, had any plans to annex Chengdu. As long as he succeeded in doing so, Lu Kang would surely fall into the predicament of lack of food and grass, and he would have no spare power to take Chengdu again.

The messenger left Qi County quickly, riding like a gallop. Although there is no guarantee that Liu Chan will see the memorial tonight, but if everything goes well, Liu Chan will know about it tomorrow at the latest. Liu Yin is still looking forward to what Liu Chan will do.For the Shuhan court, whether it can survive this crisis safely depends on success or failure.
