Depending on the situation, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was unprepared for the sudden attack of the Han Army, but it was clearly that they provoked first. Why did they think they would not be attacked?
Wang Kan took out more than 120 warships and only more than 10 returned. After they were very embarrassed to enter the Jingkou water stronghold, the Han warships came with them. Outside the water stronghold, they kept firing large and small crossbows and arrows with fire, which soon ignited the periphery of Jingkou.
Yin Hao was the commander of the Jin Army Navy in Jingkou. He had received a letter of war from the Han army before. He knew that the war was inevitable. Unexpectedly, the Han army said to fight.
"What about the rest of the ships?" Yan Hao looked at the blackened niche and shouted angrily, "don't tell me that it's all sunk!"
Looking at it, Wang niche was not only embarrassed but also full of panic. He replied, "our army was unprepared for a sudden attack. In case of a sneak attack, the fleet was scattered."
The Han Army ships in front of the Shuizhai seem to be gathering more and more, the arrows in the sky are falling endlessly, and the wooden fortifications are braving fire and smoke, which seems to boil the water.
The smoke was too big and thick, the wind was erratic, and the line of sight from inside to outside was blocked, so that Yin Hao, Wang niche and others knew nothing about the outside. They have a more important thing than figuring out how many ships the Han Army has come. That is, they quickly urge the ships connected to each other to separate, and be sure to leave a space zone where the fire can't spread, or the naval ships in Jingkou will be finished.
"What do the officials in the court think?" Wang niches didn't groom at all. He was not only wearing clothes on his forehead, but also his face was blackened by ashes. He said bitterly: "before, let's stop the attack and stop the practice. Don't they think the Han army is really made of mud?"
Yin Hao knew that Wang niche wanted to shirk responsibility, and he should find an excuse to shirk responsibility for the loss of Jingkou, or wait to be removed from his official post and exiled.
Xie Shang was responsible for the defense of Yangzhou, which means that the Jin army, including Jingkou, was under its shogunate system. After he received the report of the attack from Jingkou, it can be said that he was stunned for a moment.
At that time, Xie Shang was entertaining Wang Xizhi and sun Chuo, and many famous Southern poets and calligraphers came. They listened to the sound of bamboo music, drank Lanling wine, and played with beautiful and young Meiji, which seemed to be the most common scene for aristocratic families in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
This famous scholar, who is proficient in music, good at dancing, good at calligraphy, good at talking and romantic, is Xie an's Cong brother Xie Shang. He knows that things are big. The attack of the Han Army has shattered the lie that "the Han Army dare not attack". Their department will appear extremely stupid. I'm afraid the Yu family will have another chance to turn over.
Before, whether Yu Bing or Yu Yi, in short, when the Yu family dominated the government, although the Han army often provoked, it did not openly attack. Yu Bing grabbed food from the Han Army and seized Xincai County, Ruyin county and Runan County from the Han Army, which should be regarded as the first restoration of the old land by the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in more than ten years.
Now, Yu Bing has just died, and the Yu family under Yu Yi's leadership has been suppressed by a group led by Xie and Chu. They also led the offensive posture against the Han state, and vowed that the Han army was involved in the battlefield of the Central Plains, the Puyang war that would affect the national movement, the more powerful Jizhou war, and even Liaodong had to guard against Murong Yan state and would not go south. But the reality is cruel. The Han army launched a strong counterattack!
If he insisted on that sentence to describe Xie Shang's mood at the moment, he was completely ignorant!
Xie Shang is completely ignorant. The attack on the Jin army in Jingkou will not be the end, but the beginning of the large-scale action of the Han army. Although the Jin army has assumed an offensive posture, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty actually has no real attack plan. Everything is bluff. If the Han Army launches a large-scale attack, should he go to the top or
"Renzu, how can you pay attention to chores at this moment?" Wang Xizhi is a little ink and brush, and a calligraphy is completed. For literati like him, playing even when the world collapses is a chore. Only small partners should enjoy each other: "come on, let's see this article."
A large number of people really came over and praised Wang Xizhi's exquisite calligraphy. Many people didn't forget to feed themselves a bag of five stone powder when praising him.
Indeed, whether it is the Western Jin Dynasty or the Eastern Jin Dynasty, how can literati and poets play happily without taking drugs? It will be a very non literati, very non noble and very tasteless thing. So, people with some status and status get together. Who's good not to take drugs?
It may be that Wu Shi San's medicine is acting out, or he can be frightened. In short, Xie Shang not only emits a cold sweat on his forehead, but also on his whole body. He looks vaguely at Wang Xizhi, who is praised by the people around him, but also at Sun Chuo, who is standing beside and leaning against the column. He listens to his heart beating in his eardrum, and his temples are bulging.
The place where they play is a mountain Pavilion in the north suburb of qua. The surrounding area of the pavilion is completely covered by cloth sails to prevent excessive wind.
The sky in the North seems to be shrouded in dark clouds, but it doesn't look like the formation of natural climate. Sun Chuo has been staring at the north for a long time, sipping the cup of fruit wine in his hand. He turned and looked at Xie Shang. He would have sweated after eating wushisan, so that he didn't think much when he saw that Xie Shang's face was full of sweat. He found that something was wrong when he saw Xie Shang suddenly spread it on the ground.
Those who surrounded Wang Xizhi didn't find Xie Shang down at all. They were robbing Wang Xizhi's calligraphy in a fiery atmosphere. Wang Xizhi stood aside with a smile and watched the crowd loot. The expression on his face was unspeakably reserved.
"Renzu?" Sun Chuo went over and squatted down beside Xie Shang. He smiled and asked, "why?", He thought that the medicine of Wushi powder was a little fierce, so he overturned Xie Shang's medicine.
Xie Shang's eyes turned a little slowly. After the lax pupils gathered, he suddenly grabbed sun Chuo's calf and said hoarsely, "Jingkou was attacked."
"Oh." In fact, sun Chuo didn't hear clearly. He answered first, then he was stunned and asked, "what? Jingkou was attacked???"
Xie Shanghui said that after suffering a major blow, some people can't keep up with the blood supply to the heart, resulting in tinnitus and brain confusion. Some serious cases are stroke. He took a big breath, tried to support himself into a sitting position with his hands, and said, "yes, the Han army attacked the Navy we went out to practice first, and then attacked Jingkou."
Sun Chuo was completely stunned. His face was shocked and unbelievable. His lips were shaking, but he couldn't say even a word.
Other people found the abnormality of Xie Shang and sun Chuo. Xu Xun went first, followed by several people.
Xu Xun, Wang Xizhi, sun Chuo, Zhi Dun, etc. are all famous for their literary meaning. However, Xu Xun is one of the leaders of the Qingtan school in the south of the Yangtze River. He never holds any official position and likes to play between mountains and rivers. At the same time, he is good at analyzing metaphysics and finding someone to sing poetry and have fun.
"Eh?" Wang Xizhi raised his hand and pointed to the north sky. He was surprised and said, "I haven't heard that it will rain recently. How can the sky be shrouded in dark clouds?"
Xie Shang, who was panting for a while, had slowed down. He shouted, "it's not going to rain. It's a sudden attack by the Han army. It's the smoke from the burning of Jingkou."
A large number of exclamations sounded in the pavilion. There were all kinds of things to say. Most of them were scolding the Han state, mainly breaking Liu Yan. However, the scolding was only "being an unworthy son" and "upright son", and the worse ones did not appear.
In the south of the Yangtze River, especially the literati and poets, Liu Yan, who suddenly emerged and rose strongly, was regarded as a more hateful beast than the Hu people. The reason was that Liu Yan did not attract great Confucianism and very rudely challenged the zhengshuo status of the small court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Until Liu Yan defeated Yao Yizhong, the evaluation of Liu Yan by literati and poets in the south of the Yangtze River was slightly improved. It was based on the premise that Liu Yan defeated Yao Yizhong and led nearly 400000 people. It can be said to be a kind of fear.
Later, Li Nong led more than 300000 beggars to surrender. The literati and poets were both envious and fearful. They could regard Liu Yan's repeated victories as completely established. Most of them no longer talked about Liu Yan's origin or anything. They wanted to quietly wait and see the situation. Each family split branches to seek a way out in the Han Dynasty, but they were much more frequent and diligent, Among them are some side branches of Wang Xizhi and sun Chuo.
A happy party ended and most people began to be dazed instead. Don't think they are worrying about the country and the people. It is just that the medicine of wushisan begins to attack, which makes them enter their own fantasy or delusion mentally.
When Wu Shi San took effect, they looked pale one by one, as if their cheeks would shake. Their facial expressions were all kinds, and they had to dance like crazy again.
The news of the Han Army's attack on Jingkou will soon spread all over the four directions. It is transmitted from north to South with the sound of gongs again and again. Where it passes, people with some identity are crying. Instead, shengdou Xiaomin shows a confused expression. What to do or what to do.
Jingkou has completely fallen into a sea of fire. Huan Wen is riding on the warship, looking at the burning water from a distance, and said to Yuan Qiao, "continue to put fire oil."
Yes, the Han Army loaded fire oil, set up a transmission channel with a net floating on the water surface, and then poured the oil into Jingkou Shuizhai with water patterns.
Oil is lighter than water. Burning on the water surface will ignite everything that can be burned. Of course, wooden warships are the best combustion medium. The violence of oil will soon sweep the whole Jingkou Shuizhai. Not only the fire is soaring, but also the smoke will cover the whole Jingkou sky.
"There should be about 800 warships in the stronghold?" Yuan Qiao will not feel guilty about attacking Jin army warships. They are more likely to accept the reality of their master. He looked at Huan Wen and said, "apart from the more than 100 ships sunk in the previous attack, there should be nearly 500 fish caught."
Huan Wen was thinking about whether to land, but it seemed that few troops landed could not work, and there were not enough troops on their side to land. He asked, "what role would it play if 5000 people landed?"
"Five thousand?" Yuan Qiao can probably guess what Huan Wen thinks. He said, "scare those people across the street, but it's too risky to push inward."
On the South Bank of the Yangtze River, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty established a 30 mile defense zone in depth. It seems that there are more than 100000 troops stationed? Even if the Jin army can no longer fight, the Han army wants to break through and seize depth, it can't do it without a Han army of more than 50000.
"Forget it." Huan Wen didn't insist either. He shouted at the bridge room, "turn around and go to Yuzhou!"
The attack on Jingkou was only to wipe out the main force of the water army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and achieve the goal of completely mastering the navigation right of the Yangtze River. And it seems they did it? There are only more than 500 captured fish. It's not urgent to hide in the face of more than 3000 Han Army ships, even if it comes out easily.
Fu Wei, who was in some positions in front of him, was reminded to look at the warship Huan Wen was riding on. There were flagmen constantly waving flags, saying that they were about to leave for Yuzhou. It was up to Fu Wei to make his own decisions here.
The Jiangdu side is dominated by fleet forces. For a long time, 8000 shore based troops have been stationed. Fu Wei already knows that the personnel of ships will not land and fight. There are only some things that 8000 troops can do, but it definitely does not include the large in-depth defense zone attacking the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
"Burn, keep burning." It was the first time that Fu Wei felt happy since he became Jiangdu Ling. He said to his long history Chen Jiaju, "count the war results as much as possible.", After a pause, he thought again and added, "if we find the Jin army falling into the water and try our best to rescue, we need a large number of prisoners."
Chen Jiaju is also an old seniority. When Liu Yan entered Dongmou County, he followed Cai you to join the family. He smiled, nodded and said, "many people have been saved, but they are frightened."
It was said that the rescue was the first attack of the Eastern Jin Navy, not Jingkou.
For the navy soldiers of the Jin army in Jingkou, most of them were lucky that they were not on the ship when they were docked. The Han Army burned the ship when it burned Jingkou, but the personnel loss of the Jin army was much less than expected.
The fire was too fierce and too big. During the day, it was only thick smoke rolling towards the sky. At night, Jiankang, a hundred miles away, looked to the northeast. You could see that the clouds over there were illuminated by the fire. The small imperial court and others who learned the news of the collapse of the Jingkou Navy were stunned, and most of them held their heads and cried bitterly.
"It's not over yet." When Xie Shang learned that Jingkou had not been saved, he took a carriage back to Jiankang. Without a pause, he directly entered the palace. He met he Chong, Chu suanzi, and Sima Zhen, the little emperor held by Chu suanzi. He said sadly, "Jingkou will not be the only attack place of the Han army. The more dangerous place is the three counties where the abbot is stationed."
Up to now, the small imperial court of the Eastern Jin Dynasty knows what kind of country the state of Han is, and can better guess that Liu Yan is a man who must report his evil deeds. It's needless to say that the Han army will certainly attack the land of three counties taken advantage of by the Jin army!
