Chapter 45 Chapter 45: The Ship Arrives Successfully

After Chen Xuan's navy surrendered, the strength of the coalition forces increased greatly, and they had no worries, so they besieged and attacked Nujiao Island with all their strength. Zhai Yushi spent his free time, harassing and attacking the Ming army on Jiaodao day and night, and then Yu Sanliang launched a fierce attack, dismantling the enemy's defense facilities and weakening the morale of the enemy. That night, Ling Zhantian had just led a team to dive and destroy a wooden fence where the enemy was docked. When they returned to the handsome ship, Han Bai and others who had been lingering in Changde for more than ten days just arrived.

Under the auspices of Zhai Yushi, all the generals of the coalition forces held the most important meeting before counterattacking Nujiao Island. After sitting around the table, Qi Changzheng joked to Zhai Yushi and Shangguan Ying: "Forget you! I won't do anything until I come back." Shangguan Ying said: "Do you have such a big face? It's just because of other plans during the rain that Qi Tai let Qi Tai take a few more breaths." When everyone heard the words, they booed and made a fuss. Lao Jie said with a smile: "Now Qi Tai and Hu Jie's troops on Nujiao Island are exhausted and have blocked all traffic to the outside world. They are consuming a lot of food and grass every day. Apart from treating reinforcements and food reinforcements hard, only Standing still and waiting for death. If this continues, within a few months we will be able to recover Nujiao Island without spending a single soldier."

Qi Changzheng excitedly said: "Who has the patience to wait, doesn't it mean that there are two secret passages into the island that have not been discovered? As long as I lead people to sneak to the island and attack from inside and outside, within a few hours it will be gone." But sitting on Qitai's body and drinking." Ling Zhantian sighed: "Fortunately, you are not the one who gave the orders this time, otherwise you don't know what happened after losing the battle. This is clearly a bait laid by Qi Tai, do you still want to swallow it?" Qi Changzheng was most afraid of Ling Zhantian and Lang Fanyun, so he immediately shut up obediently.

Fan Liang smiled and said: "Shuai Zhai has brother Ling behind him, Qi Xiaoer, you'd better be more submissive in your attitude." Feng Xinglie laughed and said: "Brother Zhai should tell you the wonderful strategy in his chest!" Han Bai applauded: "Let's give him a little applause for the military master!" Everyone laughed and booed, if anyone who didn't know it heard it, they would think they were playing chess and wine, but who would have guessed that it was actually a major event about fighting for world supremacy. Zhai Yushi smiled and said: "Brother Bai is the most funny." Then he cleared his throat, coughed dryly and said solemnly: "Since Brother Jing went to Changde, we have strengthened the blockade of Nujiao Island to the limit, making Qi Tai completely cut off. Regarding the news from the outside world, this is only for one purpose, which is to make Qi Tai and Hu Jie unaware that Chen Xuan has come to our side..."

Everyone immediately understood, and they all applauded. Li Cheng sighed coldly: "No wonder Yushi earlier ordered Chen Xuan's sailors not to approach Nujiao Island. At that time, I thought you were still wary of him, but now I know the magic effect." Han Bai scratched his head and said, "Why can't we come up with such a simple plan?" Fan Liangji sneered and said: "Simple? Zhai Shuai started to deploy it long before you arrived in Changde. What you were thinking at that time was still going to Changde to prostitute enough money, hmph!" Everyone laughed dumbfounded.

Zheng Guangyan interjected, "When is Master Zhai going to do it?" Zhai Yushi raised his hands in surrender and said, "Uncles and brothers, please don't call me Shuai Zhai and Lord Zhai anymore. As for the time to do it, of course it should be decided by the gang leader." Shangguan Ying smiled and said: "Fuck you, I decide what, but I can announce it on my behalf." After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice: "According to the current weather changes, within ten days there will be There will be a day when the sky is clear, we will start on that day, first let Qi Tai clearly see the navy that Chen Xuan 'comes to help', Qi Tai will definitely drive out the remaining 50 or so warships, good Attacking us back and forth, that is an auspicious time to counterattack Nujiao Island."

Fan Liangji slapped his palm on the stage, and when everyone was startled, the old villain shouted: "Bring the wine! Let's drink ten cups first, and wish the boat a success." Everyone applauded loudly, and the voice went straight to Dongting Lake. In the following seven days, not only did the coalition forces not intensify their attack on Nujiao Island, they also moved closer to half the fleet, and even the commander-in-chief went with the fleet. Qi Tai really thought that the reinforcements had arrived, which made the coalition forces of the Nujiao Gang want to split up and fight. No doubt, he was ready to counterattack with all his strength. At the moment, the artillery was booming, and he continued to send warships to try to break through the blockade of the coalition forces.The coalition counterattacked the defensive, so as to strengthen Qi Tai's confidence that the prediction was not bad.

That night when the fog cleared, a rumbling cannon was heard from the east of Nujiao Island, and most of the coalition fleet turned to the place where the cannon sound came from. Qi Tai was very cautious, and still kept his main force steady. At dawn, he saw Chen Xuan's navy appearing in the southeast waters, fighting with the Nujiao coalition forces endlessly. Several of the ships were shot and caught fire. Shocking. Qi Tai didn't expect that the fires would be old ships or broken ships, let alone that Chen Xuan would rebel, so he immediately assembled the remaining fifty warships and ordered Hu Jie to stick to Nujiao Island, but he personally supervised the troops and led the fleet to the island. Flank.

The remaining 20 ships of the Nujiao Allied Forces pretended to be an obstacle, and after some engagements, Qi Tai was allowed to break through. At this time, Han Bai, Feng Xinglie, Qi Changzheng, Fan Liangji, Jing Chengleng and others all gathered on Chen Xuan's handsome boat and pretended to be Chen Xuan's personal guards. They were overjoyed when they saw this. Zhai Yushi, who was on board the coalition commander's boat, immediately set off today, and the whole division withdrew to Lanjiang Island. Of course Chen Xuan chased after him, which attracted Qi Taiyi to chase after him.

Ling Zhantian, Shangguan Ying and Zhai Yushi stood side by side at the commanding platform of the handsome ship, happily watching Qi Tai walk into the trap step by step. The warship sailed with full sail, chasing after each other, and crossed Lanjiang Island in less than an hour. Everyone looked at Lanjiang Island, feeling strange in their hearts. Shangguan Ying sighed: "Uncle, what are you doing now?" Ling Zhantian smiled and said, "I'm afraid he is listening to Xiuxiu playing the piano and singing? We are here to fight to the death, but he is drinking and singing with the beautiful woman, traveling in the mountains and rivers, carefree and carefree."

Di Yushi was concentrating on the situation of the enemy and us, and laughed loudly: "If one of Qi Tai sneaks back to Nujiao Island this time, I, Zhai Yushi, will change his father's surname." At this moment, Qi Tai's fleet was gradually approaching with Chen Xuan's huge navy composed of nearly 200 ships, behind him was the turbulent river blocking island. The bright sun of early summer in the sky shines on the earth, the lake water glistens with the sun, and the golden light flickers, making one have to squint to see clearly. Zhai Yushi knew it was time, fired seven cannon shots in a row, and issued an order. Hidden on the side of Lanjiang Island, the seventy warships led by Liang Qiumo rushed out and hit Qi Tai's tail fiercely. Chen Xuan's navy fanned out and turned around to kill Qi Tai's pitifully weak fleet. Zhai Yushi's nearly a hundred warships also turned around and joined the siege amidst the drums beating. Suddenly the situation reversed, flints, arrows and stones flew all over the sky, Qi Tai was in chaos, and he didn't know which side's attack to deal with. Qi Tai watched the enemy ships and Chen Xuan's fleet spread over like a big net, the sound of killing shook the heavens, his own warships were set on fire, or were smashed and turned over by the boulder, his face lost any color. The generals around him were dumbfounded, they didn't know how to deal with this battle where there was such a huge disparity between strength and weakness. Qi Tai said harshly: "Good Chen Xuan! I will definitely smash you into pieces." There was a scream from the bow of the ship. It turned out that Chen Xuan's vanguard was approaching within the range of the arrow, and the arrows were raining down on the sky. Some of the generals said: "Sailor Qi! Before the enemy closes..." Qi Tai yelled violently: "Shut up!" Looking around, he saw that the direction leading to Nujiao Island was full of enemy ships coming at full speed, only the southeast corner still had a way to escape, but if he hesitated, even this slightest The gap will disappear, and he sighed: "Remove immediately!" All the generals were eager to survive, "working together", and hurriedly fled. Ling Zhantian on the handsome boat over there laughed heartily and said, "Look at how far you have escaped, Qitai!" At this time, Chen Xuan's vanguard broke through Qi Tai's navy, and at the same time threw hooks, grabbed the enemy ship, and under the cover of arrows, stepped onto the enemy ship and fought hand to hand. The Qitai Marines had no fighting spirit, and jumped into the sea one after another to escape, or abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Qi Tai's handsome ship broke out under the escort of more than a dozen fighting ships, but all of them were damaged, or were smashed by stones, or caught on fire. Three of them were seriously damaged, and Liang Qiumo caught up with them and killed them all. Not a piece of armor was left, and the battle was extremely tragic. Zhai Yushi divided more than 90 ships into five groups, launched a chase, and then smashed the fleeing ships of the enemy into pieces, without formation, and sank one by one. After chasing for more than 30 miles, Qi Tai's handsome boat was finally hit by a gun and caught fire. Seeing that the situation was not right, he boarded the speedboat and fled to the nearest lakeshore like a bereaved dog. So far, the Angry Jiao coalition has won a complete victory. At dusk, Chen Xuan led a fleet full of allied forces and returned to Nujiao Island triumphantly as a "victor" after defeating the Nujiao coalition forces. Hu Jie didn't know there was a deceit, so he ordered people to remove the sharp wooden fence blocking the lake to welcome the coalition forces. After the boat was moored at the pier, Chen Xuan, surrounded by Qi Changzheng and other fake soldiers, boarded the land where the heroes of Nujiao Island had been away for a long time. Hu Jie led a group of generals to meet him. When the two sides met at the pier, Hu Jie wondered, "Why hasn't Mr. Qi come back yet?" Chen Xuan shouted loudly: "Hu Jie accepts the order!" Hu Jie and all the generals were so frightened that they all knelt down on the ground. Chen Xuan pretended to read out the imperial decree and said: "Following the heaven, the Yellow Emperor said: Hu Jie received the emperor's favor and was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but he was ignorant of favor, greedy and unruly, lacking in wisdom and trust, full of arrogance and stubbornness, lacking in benevolence and courage, and unable to obey orders. I only like flattering and flattering people, and they are full-time villains, so they lose their teachers and humiliate the country after repeated defeats..." This imperial decree is long and stinky, and it counts all kinds of faults in Hu Jie. Most of the time after reading it, the coalition forces have already landed and disembarked, controlling various docks. How did Hu Jie and the others know that the other party was falsely spreading the imperial decree, and when this pile of trumped-up charges was suppressed, everyone immediately sweated profusely. When Hu Jie was about to plead his innocence, he suddenly heard Chen Xuan say loudly: "This is an unforgivable crime. I will give Chen Xuan, the inspector of the capital, the sword, and immediately behead the sinner Hu Jie to show the world." Hu Jie screamed in horror, jumped up and said, "What!" Han Bai, who had come to him earlier, poked his finger under his side, and said with a smile, "After beheading his head, there is only a hole in his neck the size of a bowl, why is General Hu so flustered?" Fan Liangji on the other side said with a smile, "General Hu's skill is still so flexible, my old friend should really drink two more glasses for it." Hu Jie still didn't understand what was going on, his soul flew away, and he was carried away by two people long ago, and none of the others dared to get up. Chen Xuan put away the "imperial decree" and said coldly: "This time the emperor only punished one person, which is already a great favor from the emperor, and you still don't thank him." If you can wear the crime and make meritorious service, I can guarantee your wealth and glory in the future, and you will be promoted step by step." The generals quickly thanked you. At this time Zhai Yushi came behind him and whispered: "It's time to talk to them." Chen Xuan nodded yes, thinking to himself that in such a situation, how could these people not bow their heads and surrender. The last ray of the sun disappeared above the lake, and the bright moon showed a moving fairy posture at the edge of the horizon. The beautiful lake island, representing the honor and disgrace of the Angry Mosquito Gang, has finally returned to the Angry Jiao Gang. The news of recovering Nujiao Island was sent by Qianliling to Song Nan who lived in a small village outside Shuntian City 12 days later. At this time, Li Jinglong, who was the incarnation of the evil Buddha Zhong Zhongyou, fell into the trap of King Yan, thinking that Shuntian was within easy reach, so he hurried northwards to force Shuntian without waiting to store enough food and grass to straighten out the military situation. With the help of Seng Daoyan, Zhu Gaochi, the king of Xiaoyan, made strict arrangements and could not hold out. Although Li Jinglong's martial arts are high, but in terms of military tactics, he is far inferior to Seng Daoyan. In addition, the morale of the newly defeated army is low. King Yan, who marched into Yongping, showed his prestige. After repelling Wu Gao's Liaodong Army, he sent his troops to attack Daning, captured Ning King Zhu Quan, and compiled more than 80,000 elites in his hands as his own. Gengsheng, return to the teacher and follow the sky. In order to facilitate news exchange, Song Nan left Shuntian City and lived here. At this time, he not only received the great news of recovering Nujiao Island, but also learned from his subordinates that King Yan was returning in triumph, and quickly led a dozen people to accompany him. The Nujiao Gang masters, flying to announce the good news to King Yan. After driving day and night for two days, they finally met the vanguard commanded by General Zhang Yu of the King of Yan on the way. Zhang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and after frequently shouting "God help my king", he led the exhausted Song Nan straight to the main camp of the Yan army thirty miles away. Everywhere in the barracks along the way, flags fluttered, and everyone's morale was high and their fighting spirit was vigorous. Song Nan's spirit was lifted up and he admired him. At this time, King Yan was inspecting and consoling the soldiers accompanied by his personal guards. When he saw Song Nan coming, he laughed and said, "Look at Brother Song's happy face, have you regained Nujiao Island?" Song Nan got off his horse, fell down on the weeds beside the camp, and reported: "The King of Yan is aware that Nujiao Island has been retaken fifteen days ago. The beheading and the collection of 60,000 soldiers are all thanks to King Yan." King Yan was overjoyed, jumped off his horse, and helped Song Nan up. Just as he was about to speak, there was a commotion in the barracks on the left. It turned out that a soldier had a sudden illness, and his colleagues were about to send him to the barracks for treatment. King Yan didn't care to talk to Song Nan, walked over, personally carried the soldier on his horse, and said to the surrounding soldiers: "This strong man's illness is all because of me, I will try my best to cure him. You can't get promoted." Then he immediately ordered his cronies to send him to Shuaiying for treatment, and everyone was moved. Yan Wang took Song Nan to accompany him to inspect the barracks that stretched for several miles, and casually pointed out: "The former emperor always said that the people are the foundation, but if you want to win the world, you must not only take the people as the foundation, but also the army as the foundation. Not only must you be sympathetic Love, and every time you go to battle, you must not be afraid of arrows and stones, and take the lead, so that the soldiers are willing to use their lives." Seeing that Song Nan was paying attention to the surrounding camps, he said with a smile: "I heard that Li Jinglong is very afraid of death. Every time he goes to a place, he will dig a fortress to form a camp. The soldiers are not allowed to rest all night. After they are well defended, it will be dawn in the morning." So, I decided to launch the army again. It wasted all night and wasted manpower so much that the soldiers were exhausted and complained a lot when they were about to go into battle. This king focuses on intelligence, and only sets up camps as gate barriers like now, so that the soldiers can Replenish your energy so that you can use your strength in battle." Song Nan sighed: "It is only now that the common people understand why King Yan always wins every battle, because the soldiers are willing to die for King Yan!" Although King Yan knew that Song Nan was the contact person sent by the Nujiao gang, but due to his busy military affairs, he didn't know his details, and the usual contact with him was handled by Chen Lingfang and Seng Daoyan. After waiting for the good news for a long time, he was in a cheerful mood, and asked about his background, only to find out that he was an official, and after Zigeng married Qi Changzheng, he immediately looked at him with admiration.Xuan Ze became very curious and couldn't help asking: "Zhai Yushi is good at dispatching troops and dispatching generals. Since Brother Song was invited here, Brother Song should be the best person to take on this task." Song Nan knew that he was putting it mildly, but he was actually just asking himself what virtue and ability he was entrusted with. He smiled wryly and said: "Little people have no fists or courage, and the only thing they are proud of is their skill in chess. Zhai Shuai often said that playing chess is like marching. Or maybe it was because of this that I sent Xiaomin here to handle errands. Fortunately, I didn't really want me to fight, otherwise I would have failed his kindness. In the past few months, apart from being in charge of the news exchange between the two places, I have been supporting Master Han Tiande Fortunately, Chen Gong took care of the shipping here, and then transferred the supplies by land to various military regions, and there has been no trouble until now." Yan Wang Qu Ran was moved and said: "It turns out that Mr. Chen has Brother Song to handle the grain transportation for him, no wonder it is so orderly. Is Brother Song interested in handling the delivery of military supplies for this king? This king is having a headache for this matter. " Song Nan was born in a family of officials and was taught how to be an official since he was a child. Hearing this, he was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him. King Yan said happily: "Song Qing's family first sent this king a letter to Nujiao Island, and asked Xinglie to come to Shuntian immediately, so that this king can fulfill his promise to restore the country for him. Also! Look at Han Bai and the old man. Fan Na is willing to drop by the treasure to visit me, I'm afraid he will be the only two among the crowd to get away." Song Nan nodded in agreement. King Yan was delighted. When Han Fan and others arrived, Li Jinglong should have been sent back to his hometown by him.
