Chang Geng took the battle report, and Gu Yun asked, "How much of the Jiangnan Navy is left?"
"It's hard to say," Chang Geng swept his eyes and ten lines, "Chang Jiao never went out to sea, let alone fought a naval battle. Zhao Youfang panicked when he died, and fled in all directions—Yifu, do you remember when King Wei made a mess?"
Gu Yun pinched the bridge of his nose and understood what he meant.
At that time, King Wei bought the Admiral of Jiangnan Water and Land and half of the navy, and gathered troops on the small island of Dongying to covet the capital. Unexpectedly, Gu Yun and Linyuange joined hands to mix them up before they were ready.
It was said that it was "the alliance between Gu Yun and Linyuan Pavilion". In fact, there were only two or three Xuanying and a few half-old children around Gu Yun at the time, and there were only about 30 Jianghu people in Linyuan Pavilion. Of course, monks are such a waste that they will not fall off when they put on heavy armor.
Gu Yun had a lot of power in the army, and his sudden appearance frightened the guilty rebels, but it also proved from the side that Daliang's navy was indeed lame.
Even making a counter-offensive is a disadvantage.
If this happened during the reign of Yuan and the late emperor, Gu Yun might have the opportunity to intervene in the navy just like he did when he rectified the northern border city defense army. Unfortunately, Li Feng was not the kind of soft-hearted late emperor who was indecisive in killing people. That kind of thing happened in Longan. It can't happen in years.
Gu Yun: "Where's Yao Chongze? Is he also dead?"
Chang Geng: "I didn't mention it, too many people died."
Gu Yun sighed: "And what is a 'sea monster'?"
Chang Geng: "It is said that it is like a big octopus, it can lurk in the water, float up like a mountain, and can cover the sky and the sun. Compared with it, the giant kite is like a pigeon that falls on the shoulders of a strong man. There are also countless iron claws on the body, and thousands of small sea eagles stick to it one after another, and the tips can be opened to release a large group of eagle armor."
Chang Geng said here, his voice paused slightly, and his slender fingers tapped twice on the edge of the battle report: "If there is such a thing, at least four or five hundred catties of Zi Liujin will be burned a day."
Gu Yun glanced at him, Chang Geng shook his head slightly, stopped his voice, and hid the second half of the sentence - the Westerners paid such a high price, I am afraid they did not come to fight them for a long time.
"The garrison in the south of the Yangtze River has been resolved, and there will be no more worries at sea. The Dagu Port navy is not an opponent. The next step is to approach the capital." Gu Yun took off the map on the wall, "Old Tan, how many troops can be deployed in the capital? "
Tan Hongfei licked his chapped lips: "Beida Camp has 2,000 heavy armors, 16,000 light cavalry, and 2,000 chariots and horses. There are a total of 80 chariots, and each chariot has three pairs of white rainbows, one long and one short at the head and tail. artillery."
This force is almost the same as that of the palace, but it was too much to attack the Westerners who had been planning for many years. Gu Yun frowned, "Where's the Imperial Forest Army?"
"The Royal Forest Army can't do it. There are less than 6,000 people in total. More than half of them are young master soldiers. They have never seen blood." Yun, "By the way, this is what the emperor asked me to bring to the commander."
The thing was wrapped in thin palace silk, and those who didn't know it thought it was some bright jewels and jade inside.
Gu Yun took it over and glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth curved without smiling: "What are you doing for me at this time, the day lily is cold."
Tan Hongfei didn't know what to say.
Gu Yun casually threw the black iron tiger talisman to Tan Hongfei: "Okay, since the emperor has made up his mind, you can use it to write a transfer order according to his wishes, and send a message to the troops stationed in Zhili, Shandong to return to defense and relieve the troubles in the capital. Let Cai Ying free up his hands to lead reinforcements, let's tune it up first, if we can't tune it up again."
Tan Hongfei: ""
On the other hand, Zhang Fenghan, who was old and debilitated, did not have such a hard-hearted heart as these animals, so he was frightened all the way, and suddenly heard Gu Yun's overtones. Is it possible that the Qin Wangjun can't be transferred?"
Chang Geng replied: "If the information in the battle report is correct, the Westerners cannot carry too much baggage with them - they can't afford to fight. If they want to kill with one blow and land from the south of the Yangtze River, they must divide their troops and go all the way from the sea. The capital, all the way from the land to cut off the capital to the Quartet, I am afraid that the order to besiege us will not be spread."
Mr. Fenghan almost pumped over on the spot, sat beside him, gasping for breath.
Chang Geng didn't expect such a big reaction from him, so he quickly poured a glass of water and brought it in front of Duke Fenghan, and patted a few degrees on the back of his heart skillfully: "You calm down, old man. Try not to be too happy or too sad, or you will easily have a stroke.”
Zhang Fenghan grabbed his hand and almost burst into tears: "My Highness, are you born without knowing what it means to be anxious?"
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Fenghan, I haven't said it yet," Chang Geng said hurriedly, "When my adoptive father was imprisoned before, I was worried that the border would change, and I have already contacted some friends."
Saying that, he took out a wooden bird from his sleeve.
"This kind of wooden bird needs a special magnet to lead the way. It can send letters among the people who hold the magnet. They received my letter before, and they should have rushed to the major garrison by themselves. If the capital is really under siege, I can use the wooden bird to send a letter, and they will convey it on their behalf, with the black iron tiger talisman and the private seal of my adoptive father, it should be enough to win the letter."
When Chang Geng realized that leaving Xuanying, the long communication in various places would miss the war, he began to use Linyuan Pavilion and started to arrange such a huge communication network to prevent troubles.
Tan Hongfei and Zhang Fenghan looked at Chang Geng dumbfounded.
"It's all a small trick, and I couldn't think of any other way in a hurry." Chang Geng said, "It can be used in an emergency when you don't know it at first, but it won't last long, once the enemy notices it, this thing is no longer safe. A pebble can knock it off."
Gu Yun couldn't say what he felt for a while. When he was in prison, he didn't worry about Chang Geng. Right now, even if he was mobilized by others, he might not be able to do better than Chang Geng.
Not only did he save half of the Black Iron Battalion, but he also left such a move alive.
While he was sighing, grateful and relieved, he also felt that the young man who could only close his eyes and hide in front of the sword puppet shouldn't have grown up so fast, because he didn't take good care of it.
But in front of outsiders, Gu Yun was inconvenient to express any emotion, only a faint sentence: "His Royal Highness has considered it thoroughly."
"Let's go, Lao Tan, follow me to the North Camp." Gu Yun took off a wine jug hanging behind the door, glanced at the sky, he didn't even have his armor on, he picked out a jacket and strode away.
Chang Geng also got up: "Foster father take a step first, I will go back to Lingshu Academy with Duke Fenghang, and escort the baggage after counting."
The brief tenderness and ambiguity disappeared, and the two left in a hurry.
Gu Yun and Tan Hongfei led a team of guards and galloped out of the city towards the North Camp.
Gu Yun's robe was on the right, just now he was halfway through. The rumbling thunder in the sky suddenly turned into a bright lightning, which slashed down from the sky, and the gloomy sky opened like a cracked silk. It was rare before a Grain Rain. The heavy rain smashed down.
For a time, it poured like a note, and the wind and rain were like dark.
Tan Hongfei was choked by the rain and was almost out of breath. He threw a handful of water droplets off his face. He remembered that when Huo Dan told him that Hou Ye was sick, he couldn't help it. Stuck on his horse, he ran to Gu Yun's side and said loudly, "It's raining too much, Commander, you haven't recovered from the cold, why don't you find a place to hide first, and wait for the rain to stop before you go on your way."
Gu Yun roared: "Look at that cloud, who would have known that it could stop in the year of the monkey, the horse and the moon, stop talking nonsense!"
Perhaps the sudden shower was too urgent and unreasonable, and Gu Yun suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Xuantieying was also called "black crow" by the people of Fanbang. As the head of the black crow, Gu Yun really had an unrivaled crow's mouth. Almost all of his ominous premonitions would come true, and he never missed a shot.
Tan Hongfei estimated that the Westerners would go north in two or three days—he was too optimistic.
It was night, on a watchtower in Dagu Port.
In front of Qianli's long barrel, there are two dust-proof brushes the size of a palm.
The old tower soldier on duty had to stretch his hand out of the window and groped for a rusted handle by the window—the lighter there had been broken for a long time, and no one had ever repaired it, so he had to turn it by hand. He shook the rainwater from his hand, and scolded the handle of his long arm, the toothless gear groaned half-deadly, and a small metal umbrella slowly rose and unfolded as if it was not full, in the desolate wind and rain Inside the front mirror that covers the clairvoyance.
The old tower soldier wiped the water vapor on the surface of the clairvoyant and complained to his companion: "It's the same as being a soldier, people come and go in the sky, and they are all powerful, and their prestige is to death. We are better. Every day on the tower is either sweeping the floor or playing dominoes, better than him. Mother's monks have stopped, I can't feel any oil or water, I don't have any bullshit all day long, and I have to spend years here all year round. I almost don't know my own woman. This is really evil. Why is it raining so hard? A big grievance coming?"
The companion swept the floor without raising his head: "You just hope you'll be fine, right? Didn't you hear the corps commander say that the beacon fire orders have been sent over, if the Westerners come over, you have something to do."
"Don't listen to the corporal's bullshit, which month does he have to talk about how many days Westerners are going to call?" Ta Bing said, "Isn't the Marquis of Anding still in the capital next door?"
"The Marquis of Anding has been thrown into the heavenly prison."
"Oh, isn't that released again?" The old tower soldier said here, as if he had thought about it a little bit, and suddenly said, "Yes, this is also very strange, isn't it all rumored that Marquis Anding rebelled and forced the palace? Why was it released so quickly, could it be?"
"Shh," the companion raised his head abruptly, "stop talking, listen!"
A thunderous "rumbling sound" faintly came from the wind, and the watchtower seemed to feel something, and shuddered.
Thunder
No, the thunder is always bursting, how can it be so continuous
The old tower soldier hesitantly bent over to lie in front of Qianli, and slowly panned the camera.
The next moment, his turbid eyes passed through the pitch-black rain curtain, and he was caught off guard by a huge shadow on the sea.
In nightmares, there would not be such a monster with claws and claws. It roars in a low voice angrily.
The old tower soldier thought he was dazzled, so he rubbed his eyelids hard, and when he looked again, he saw that the "sea monster" was walking like a fly, just now he was just a vague shadow. .
The black swarms of sea dragons glide through the dark night with awe-inspiring killing intent, the battle flag hunting in the wind and rain is like an ominous soul-calling banner, and the shadow covers the vast ocean.
"Enemy attack" the old tower soldier said with difficulty.
"what?"
The old tower soldier turned around abruptly and roared: "The enemy is attacking! The Westerners are calling, ring the bell and beat the drum! What are you doing, hurry up—"
The rapid sound of drums penetrated the torrential rain, and the lights of the watchtower Uehara, which were slowly turning in circles, suddenly accelerated and spun frantically. Drums rang out from the watchtower.
Beihai Lu Admiral Lian Wei's heart was about to explode. Since he received the news of Jiangnan's defeat, he did not dare to close his eyes, and snatched the clairvoyance from the guards.
After just one look, he wailed "God" in his heart, and the cold went from his chest to his back.
"What about the general?"
"All" Lian Wei's throat moved, "Chang Jiao goes first, no need to say hello, slow down when heavy artillery bombardment, put on the iron rope, yes, all the long dragons in parallel, put the iron lock! Connect to an iron fence outside the port!"
"A white rainbow—"
"Inform the fishing boats and merchant ships in the port to evacuate immediately!"
Lian Wei lowered his head and glanced at his arms, and the "Beacon Fire Order" hadn't had time to put it away - it was the highest-level combat readiness warning from Daliang.
The signature of the beacon fire order is the word "Gu", which was signed by the Marquis of Anding himself.
Back then, when the Xuantie Camp was attacked in the northern border, more than a dozen generals, both big and small, took off their black armor, put down their cutting wind blades, and scattered them all over the place. Those who retired, those who were old-aged—Lian Wei thought that he would be killed in his entire life. Trapped on a small port wharf, he led people around the wharf with nothing to do every day, and sometimes the fishermen gathered to gamble and make troubles, and even was shocked to hear that the Beida Camp had mutinied over the incident. He didn't have the courage to be like Tan Hongfei. Come out to discuss the same.
"Calling the North Camp," Lian Wei tightened his armor, took a deep breath, and forced his bulging belly to shrink back, "Report to the Marquis of Anding, Dagu Port was attacked by the Western Navy, hurry up!"
Lian Wei stepped out, remembered something before leaving, picked up the cutting wind blade that had been standing in the dust for many years, stroked it lightly, turned around and carried it on his back.
The wind-cutting blade that used to cut the yellow sand has long since rusted so much that it can't even open the small slot for the purple gold. .
However, when he put it on his back again, he suddenly regained the feeling of black armor in his body and unparalleled feeling.
After years of indulgence and obesity, the snow knife and the steel armor were branded into the bones and blood, and they still remained vaguely.
The iron fence formed by the long dragons met the rampant sea monsters head-on. They were short-handed. The western warships were like ghosts in the wind and rain, and the strong winds at sea could not catch up with them. The ship fell apart in an instant and sank under the surging ocean.
"General, I'm afraid the iron fence can't stop it!"
"General, the ship on the left flank is sinking too much, iron rope"
"Watchtower - watch out!"
An artillery fire from a distance rolled over like a dragon, and even the rain curtain could not hold back the roaring flames. A "bang" sounded in the middle of a watchtower, the tower staggered, and slowly bent down in the air. .
At the top of the tower, a wind lantern passing through the rain went out.
Lian Wei pushed the guards away, boarded the deck of the warship, and roared: "The heavy artillery is not allowed to stop, and the rocket is blowing on the white rainbow!"
"General Lian, Dagu Port is impossible"
"Get out of the way!" Lian Wei pushed Bai Hongjian's soldiers away, shouted and picked up the 100-pound blowing rocket and smashed it on the Baihong bow. Live the white rainbow calibration.
The first blowing rocket was slammed into the sky by the white rainbow bow. In the air, the iron shell at the tail of the blowing rocket fell off, and the light of Zi Liujin was like an invulnerable fire, which suddenly accelerated the blowing rocket, making a meteor-like noise. After that, wiped the battle flag on the sea monster and fell into the sea next to it.
The flying Holy See battle flag was torn into a handful of diapers by the huge impact force, scattered with the wind, and the rockets were cast out unabated. In the middle of a rampaging Western sea kelp, a gorgeous fireworks exploded at sea.
Lian Wei let out a long howl, must be furious.
Without the commander's order, Xuan Tie Ying did not dare to retreat.
When the news of the attack on Dagu Port arrived overnight, Gu Yun was in the tent, together with Tan Hongfei and Han Qi, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, to sort out the defense of the capital.
Hearing the news, Han Qi almost jumped up and lost his voice: "How could it be so fast!"
Gu Yun's face sank like water: "Who is the Admiral of the North Sea?"
"Lian Wei," Tan Hongfei's eyes were slightly red, and after a while, he couldn't help but add, "He was the deputy of the late general."
Gu Yun's eyes twitched slightly: "Commander Han."
Han Qi understood: "Yes, the last commander will return to Beijing immediately, Commander, rest assured, even if the Royal Forest Army is a young master's soldier, there is only a burial place at the foot of the imperial city."
Gu Yun took a deep look at him, and abruptly opened the handsome tent: "Can the old people in Lingshu Academy hurry up?"
Before he finished speaking, a messenger ran over: "Commander, King Yanbei is here!"
As soon as Gu Yun turned around, Chang Geng's horse had already galloped to the front and grabbed the reins: "Commander, the Lingshu Academy has repaired the existing black iron heavy armor of 1000, eagle armor of 500, and the light fur is not complete. There are 3,000 pairs of wrist buckles and long arms, 4,000 pairs of iron knees and flying feet, and another batch of shoulder helmets, which will be delivered later—"
