The sea water in autumn is as cold as ice.
Gu Wenqing jumped into the sea at that moment, felt cold and tingling, and could not imagine how to fight the sea battle in winter.
He swam numbly forward for a while, and gradually became familiar with the water temperature before his body regained consciousness.
The surrounding sea was dark, and there was a slight sound of rowing from time to time. I think the soldiers on other ships were rowing towards the shore.
It's too far from the coast of Taicheng. It will take him at least two hours to row back. He was worried about whether the soldiers could support him.
There was a sound of water behind him, very close to him.
"General, fortunately you told me to take off my clothes earlier. Fortunately..."
Gu Wenqing didn't look back. "Don't talk, save your strength."
The people behind him didn't speak any more. I don't know how long later, when the light was dim, Gu Wenqing suddenly realized that the sound of water behind him was very weak.
Looking back, the soldier's action in the water was already very reluctantly, and his face was white in the water.
As soon as he looked around at the sea, he continued to swim forward. Before the soldiers behind him could speak, he could see his figure swimming away flexibly.
They are really family oriented people. Even in the unfamiliar sea, they are better than ordinary people.
There was a sense of sadness in the soldier's heart. He felt that he could not support any more. In the boundless sea, he seemed to be unable to swim to the end.
How much longer?
An hour? two hours?
He was cold all over, and his hands and feet began to disobey him. No one even listened to his last words.
Originally, he wanted to ask Gu Wenqing for help, but the latter did not hesitate to draw far. The soldiers did not dare to complain. He was just an ordinary soldier. How could he let the valuable general stay for him?
As Gu Wenqing, his willingness to take the initiative is already admirable.
The soldier unconsciously stopped at the same place. His instinct for survival made him move his hands and feet from time to time to prevent himself from sinking into the water. At this time, a sound of water came closer and closer to him.
He opened his eyes, surprised to see Gu Wenqing back, but also pushed a piece of sea driftwood over. The material of the driftwood is very familiar. It seems to be the driftwood of the broken Korean fishing boat.
"Come on up."
It turned out that he was looking for driftwood just now, instead of leaving by himself.
He patted the driftwood. Seeing that the soldiers were still in a daze, he urged: "hurry up, sangyi people are not fools. They will send people to chase us soon!"
The soldier climbed up the driftwood foolishly. Gu Wenqing pushed the driftwood forward.
When it was close to the coast of Taicheng, ships had been there for a long time. All the guns on the fort were aimed at the sea to prevent the sangyi ships from coming.
The people who came back and the people on the ship explained their positions. The soldiers on the ship went into the water and swam far away to save the soldiers who were too weak to hold the driftwood in the sea.
Fortunately, after the disintegration of the Korean fishing boat, there were a lot of driftwood on the sea, and the damage of the soldiers was not as serious as they thought. With a sigh of relief, they began to tease the soldiers who were pushed back by Gu Wenqing.
"Tell me about you, others are holding driftwood in the sea waiting for us to save it. Do you mean to lie on it and let the general push it back for you?"
The soldier was so embarrassed that he blushed more and more when people said that. Gu Wenqing changed his dry clothes and came out of the cabin. "It's none of his business. I'm afraid that I will be chased by the sangyi people. I want him to lie on the driftwood."
Gu Wenqing said so. After a few words of ridicule, the officers and soldiers scattered. The boat leaned towards the shore, and they went back to the army to report the situation.
"Although it can't cause fundamental damage to them, it's enough for them. What's important is that there are not many casualties among our soldiers. It's a beautiful battle. "
Gu Jiuge was in the tent. He received the news with a smile. "The imperial driver and the army will arrive tomorrow. We must be careful to protect your Majesty's safety. Don't let the sangyi people take the opportunity to counter attack."
Gu Wenqing said: "now there are our spies in the sangyi fleet. If something goes wrong, we will not be caught unprepared. It's a blessing in misfortune."
The next day, when the emperor arrived in Taicheng, the local officials went out to meet him, while the generals were still on standby to guard against the attack of the sangyi people.
The place of residence arranged by Taicheng government and Taiwan is a compound not far from the government. This place is far from the coast. The artillery of sangyi people can't hit here. It's the safest place.
Yu Fuxin knows that she's here to boost her morale. She really can't let her lead the soldiers to fight. She doesn't have to go to the front line to distract the soldiers to stay in the city.
But Gu huaijiang, Gu Shubai and others almost went to the barracks as soon as they arrived in Taicheng. They didn't even have time to rest. They heard that when they left, they were still discussing the method of fighting. Father and son argued endlessly.
Only Gu Hanmo left behind with the leader of the imperial forest army, surrounded the courtyard of the imperial driving, and no one could easily get in and out.
Yu Fu said: "third brother, everyone has gone. Can you stay here at ease?"
Gu cold Mo face motionless, "can."
"Why?"
"Your safety is more important than anything."When he got to know him again, his face was as cold as frost. It seemed that he was afraid that Yufu would ask him to take him to the front line, so he deliberately let her retreat with a cold face.
But today's Yufu is no longer a child's Yufu.
She only asked a few questions, then went back to the room to see the fold, and saw a surprise arranged by Gu Jiuge. She was very happy.
"Second brother is so clever that he can think of using Korean fishing boats."
Gu Hanmo stood outside the door and looked at her. "Although the soldiers were not injured, the twenty guns sank into the sea, and I'm afraid they can't be retrieved any more."
It costs thousands of taels of silver to make a gun, not counting labor.
The twenty or thirty thousand taels of artillery are at least twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver. Now Beili's Treasury is empty. The twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver, which used to look like nothing, is distressing.
Yu Fu was also distressed for a while, and then said, "it's more important to sacrifice silver than to sacrifice the lives of soldiers and common people. The silver can be earned again, and human life is at stake. "
Gu Han Mo nodded, "I hope we can postpone to the day when the Ministry of industry builds a huge ship."
Before leaving Beijing, the Minister of the Ministry of industry vowed that it would be completed in three months. Now there are still two months left. Every day of these two months is suffering for everyone.
……
"After the city was burned, there was no need to rebuild it for the time being. We arranged for the surviving people to go to the inland city to recuperate and be properly settled by local officials."
Yufu receives the discount from different places every day and responds to it. At the same time, the real battle on the sea is unfolding.
Gu huaijiang personally led the army, with a fleet of small boats to fight head-on, which made the sangyi people laugh.
"What's the use of more small boats like ants?"
Although the sangyi fleet had just been attacked, its vitality was greatly damaged. Facing the challenge of small boats, it thought that it was nothing to do with it. A big war started in an instant.
The gun projected from the huge ship had not yet flown out of the barrel, and a shocking scene appeared.
More than a hundred small boats scattered orderly and quickly on the sea. The artillery didn't hit any of them. They were as flexible as being controlled by an invisible hand in the air.
Sangyi people were surprised, and then they found out something even worse -
the boats were flying towards them when they didn't pay attention!
It's like a siege. The soldiers on the boat quickly throw out the ropes, regard the huge ship in front of them as a high wall, and skillfully climb towards the huge ship.
Sangyi people are in a mess. They know how good these Beili are. Once they fight close, they have no chance of winning.
The guns were all empty on the sea, and the sangyi people on the huge ship could only pick up their swords and fight with the Beili soldiers.
Some of them were kicked into the water before they climbed up. Some of them got on the deck by luck, and they were like God's help. The blood on the deck burst out!
The Beili soldiers, who were shot down on the sea, got up again by virtue of their excellent water quality and continued to rush up to the deck of the huge ship. Compared with the siege on land, the naval battle has a little advantage -
if they fall on the ground, they will be killed or injured, but they will hardly be injured when they fall on the sea.
This kind of situation that just fell down and rushed up one after another made sang Yi people unable to resist for a moment.
They watched the soldiers whose arms had been cut fall into the sea, a large amount of blood was washed away by the sea, and then they recovered their vitality without even bandaging Is it really not painful for such a big wound to touch the sea water?
What panacea did these Beili people take? Are they monsters that can't be killed?
Fear made their response more difficult. The sangyi people on the other big ships wanted to support the main ship, but the ship was big and bulky, and their support speed was not as fast as that of Beili's boat.
When the ship finally closed and besieged, Beili's soldiers quickly retreated and did not love to fight.
Gu huaijiang knew the advantages and disadvantages of his tactics, so he would not give sangyi people the chance to seize his weakness. The tide of the soldiers generally receded, and the sangyi people wanted to pursue them. More than a hundred boats scattered, and there was no place to pursue them.
Which is the ship of the general?
the boats as like as two peas on the sea are all alike. I am afraid that even the soldiers in the north can not tell where the main ship will be, let alone the mulberry people.
They could do nothing but look at the ocean and sigh.
On a small boat, Gu Shubai and Gu huaijiang are standing in the cabin. The soldiers look at Gu huaijiang's expression and want to kneel down.
They had only heard the name of Gu's army before and thought that Gu Shubai had brought the strength of Gu's army into full play. However, compared with Gu huaijiang, the real general, Gu's army was still a small one.
Even Gu Shubai himself had to exclaim, "father, did you secretly study the method of naval warfare when you were in the capital?"
Even if he has studied, it is unbelievable that he can play such a magical and beautiful war in a short time.
Gu huaijiang didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked him, "how did you and Yu Fu think of the local fleet as a wild goose formation and sneak attack from the weak place behind them?"Gu Shubai was stunned. For a moment, he didn't understand the purpose of his question.
Gu huaijiang's beard moved and said in a deep voice: "a soldier is a crafty person. There are many differences between sea war and land war, but the way to use military force is different, and the way to use military force is the same. The key to success in today's battle lies in the flexibility of small boats, the large number of them but the small target. Compared with the other side's huge ships, our advantage is flexibility. "
"So when the local fleet closed, my father did not hesitate to order the withdrawal, because by this time our advantage was gone, right?"
Gu huaijiang nodded, "this battle brings out the most elite troops of Beili, and only these elite troops can make the 100 boats obey the command, be flexible, and cooperate with each other seamlessly."
Lin Xuan said: "it's the Marquis who commands well. Before we set out, we thought it was the mays that shook the tree, but now we know it was the dike that broke into the ant nest. We have benefited a lot from the fact that the Marquis himself is in charge of the army. "
He is not a man who can speak. What he says at the moment is from the heart of the soldiers.
Gu huaijiang had no complacency on his face. Instead, he waved his hand modestly. "It all depends on the soldiers' willingness to cooperate. I'm a man in white and I don't dare to take credit."
The more modest he was, the more admirable the soldiers were.
Although he is now in white without a post, but with the words of marquis Gu, no one in the army would dare to disobey the command, and he has more prestige than many high-ranking generals.
The team of small boats soon closed on the shore, and the artillery of the fort was aimed at the sea. Once the sangyi people came after them, they would fire immediately.
They went ashore and unconsciously surrounded Gu huaijiang. They were excited and didn't know where to start.
Gu huaijiang saw that the wounds of the soldiers were so white that they couldn't even bleed out. He immediately ordered people to send the injured soldiers to the hospital for treatment.
"Your Majesty ordered a lot of healing drugs to be given to the seriously injured first."
"The ship immediately sailed into the port, and two more sentries were set up outside the port. We must keep on day and night. We must not let the sangyi people take the opportunity to destroy our ship."
"Let the rear transport another five trucks of artillery in case of emergency."
Gu huaijiang didn't seem to think about it, so he solved all the problems in front of him, and none of the soldiers on the scene didn't listen. As soon as he heard his voice, he subconsciously followed his instructions.
This may be the inborn style of a great general, which naturally convinces people without command or shouting.
"Go back and have a rest. Everyone has been working hard today."
He bowed his hands to all the people. They were too busy to bow their hands to return the salute
He nodded and left first.
After this war, the sangyi people were defeated, and they were attacked by the Beili army several times.
They have been on the alert as much as possible, but every time they are attacked, it's a method they can't imagine, which makes them confused and difficult to deal with.
Gu huaijiang is good at commanding the army to meet the enemy head-on. It seems that the mantis arm is the pawn of the cart, but every time the sangyi people can't get along with him.
Gu Shubai is good at surprise. After knowing that the sangyi people stepped up their patrol at night and were on the alert, they took the opportunity to sneak attack in broad daylight. The sangyi people didn't expect that they would be attacked in the daytime, so they didn't dare to sleep in the daytime and night.
Gu Jiuge and others are good at defending and responding to the enemy, so that the sangyi people can not find the opportunity to send troops, or they are good at whimsy, even sending spies to poison the sangyi people's food
The war situation has obviously improved, and Beili is no longer passively beaten.
The morale of the army has never been higher. It's just the arrangement of war after war that makes Yufu more busy and unable to rest
"Your Majesty, there are not enough guns in Taicheng, please send more!"
"How much?"
The messenger raised his head. "At least twenty cars."
Yu Fu nodded wordlessly, "it's said that the Imperial Academy wrote and issued an imperial edict to let Beijing add artillery. You don't have to tell me that the Treasury is short of money. I said last time that even if you sell iron and steel, you can't be short of guns. Do you understand? "
He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, will you write down the four words as they are?"
"Write it as it is."
Yu Fu closed his eyes, and immediately another message came, "Your Majesty, the grain and grass in Beijing have already arrived. How should we distribute it?"
She closed her eyes and opened them again, with red blood in her eyes. "Give all the grain and grass to the regent for distribution. What he means is what I mean. In addition... "
He was worried that Gu Shubai, in order to avoid suspicion and suffering, simply added, "the distribution of food and grass in various places is mainly in Taicheng. Now Taicheng is the main battlefield. I can't let the soldiers go to war hungry."
"Yes
Yu Fu breathed, and his eyelids closed unconsciously. Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from outside the hospital. He was surprised and opened his eyes.
In front of her was not the soldier who came to spread the news, but a general in armor, with a straight posture, sword eyebrows and stars, and a helmet in one hand, smiling at her.
His black armor was covered with green copper rust, which was corroded by the sea. He was dusty, but he couldn't stop the glory of relegating immortals.Suddenly she got up, rejoicing, "are you back?"
