Chapter 724: Five Thunders

Since Cheng Qun crossed the river, Li Hongchao, the commander of the Jingzhou Navy, knew that sooner or later, there would be a large-scale decisive battle between him and the Navy of the North Army. Several consecutive defeats made him feel a little scared of the Navy of the North Army. The opponent's super long-range strike firepower and close-range large-scale weapons of destruction were nightmares for all navy troops. He originally wanted to rely on more ships to bully the few ships, but after several battles, coupled with the rebellion of the Ji family, the Jingzhou Navy's current five-masted warships were not much greater than those of the Navy of the North Army. His current strength, optimistically estimated, could be equal to his opponent.

The destruction of Gutai Shipyard made Li Hongchao feel like he was lost. The only source of the warship he was counting on was also cut off by his opponent. In the future, he had to rely on his existing warship to deal with his opponent.

He had no chance of winning in his heart. Li Hongchao also knew himself and had the ability to command the navy. He was not as good as Wujiu, who had already made a ghost. However, the head of the navy of the Northern Army was Cao Xinyu, who was afraid of Ji Wujiu at that time.

After thinking about it, he made a decision that shocked everyone.

He pulled all the surviving technicians from the Gutai Shipyard to Jingzhou, transported all the unburned Mu Fang there and half of the remaining ships that had just been made to Jingzhou, and chose Yanziji, which was upstream of the Jingzhou water plug, and began to build a cross-river raft platform.

The so-called cross-river raft platform is a raft made of residual ships and giant trees, which is fixed first on the narrow river surface of Yanzijie, and then extends to both sides using this as the basis point. It coincides with winter, when the water flow of the Cangjiang River is the smallest, which also provides convenience for Li Hongchao's plan to block the river.

After a year, Li Hongchao finally completed this grand plan. A raft platform about a length of 1,000 meters and a width of 100 meters spans the Cangjiang River. Wei was spectacular, with trenchers and crossbows on the raft platform, leaving only a river surface dozens of meters wide as the entrance for ships to enter and exit.

On Yanzijie and on the opposite Lotte Cliff, another position was built, and it was covered with long-range catapults and other weapons, which made the Cangjiang River run out of water. With this river blocking dam, coupled with the more than 50 five-masted warships in his hand, Li Hongchao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since he was unable to win when he attacked, he would hold on steadily and just look forward to the backyard for General Cheng.

However, he has made merits, but he only wants to be wrong. After several battles with the Navy of the Northern Army, Li Hongchao made this note, not to mention that after Cheng Qun crossed north, the connection with the south bank was entirely dependent on his navy. The construction of the river raft platform indirectly provided another channel to connect the two places. In view of this, Cheng Qun also provided Li Hongchao with a lot of convenience. The fortress on the Lotte Cliff on Qinzhou on the north bank was ordered by Cheng Qun to jointly build by Jinwu Guard.

The Navy of the Northern Army had to face such a monster.

Jingzhou has a flat terrain and fertile land. It is a treasure land that will not be cared for by any means. It will naturally be harvested in the harvest season. It is not much from the northern land. Because of the barrier of Cangjiang, he has not been affected by any war. Instead, he has benefited a lot. For example, a large number of refugees have poured in, causing his Dingkou to continue to increase. The increase in Dingkou means an increase in taxes. For example, when Cheng Qun withdrew from the northern land, he swept away the wealth of many states in the northern land. Most of these things have entered the treasury of Jingzhou, and even some of the wealthy families in the northern land were sacked by Cheng Qun.

Although these people lost their land, they brought a lot of wealth. These big families had no land, and the landlords were not good enough. They could only find another way out and start doing business. Their solid economic foundation led to the rise of Jingzhou's business again. All of this made the prosperity of Jingzhou a higher level. Except for Shangjing and the three southern states, there was no other place that could be compared with him. This was also the reason why Cheng Qun invested heavily and made him his own nest. Cheng Qun entered the northern land, was poor and wasted, and all the huge expenses were paid by Jingzhou.

In order to ensure the safety of Jingzhou, Cheng Qun was willing to pay huge sums of money to help Li Hongchao build a cross-river raft platform. There was no place in Jingzhou that could threaten him. The only direction that could come to the enemy was Xiangzhou. However, as the army of the Northern Expedition Army went south to Guizhou, the only threat was also disappeared. What's more, Xiangzhou was mountainous and steep. After the training of the guards, the Xiangzhou Town Army fought for a year or two, and now it is different from the past, insufficient attack and sufficient defense. This is also the guarantee that Cheng Qun can take the four guards to Jiangbei with confidence.

As the governor of Jingzhou, Pan Yi, Cheng Qun, was very satisfied with his current position. He was so fat that he would not change his cabinet ministers. He was rich, leisure and safe. Jingzhou had not been affected by any war except that Lin Ya had led the troops to the city next time. However, that time, he was still in the hands of the victory. General Cheng dug a huge trap for his opponent. He watched Lin Ya as a spectator and fell into this big pit. Then the Mongols declined from then on and never crawled out of the huge pits again.

Therefore, Pan Yi has always been very calm and handled government affairs in a calm manner. He took time every month to travel around the mountains and rivers, recite poems, and drink and have fun with literati and poets.

But today, Pan Yi lost his usual calmness and calmness, his face was pale, his hands and feet trembled, and he was stunned in the local area as if he was hit by five thunder.

He was attending a banquet held by the rich people in the city. The staff at the mansion brought news that the General Administration of the North of the Conquest announced that the Mongolian Yuan regime surrendered to him, and the Mongolians would be officially included in the jurisdiction of the General Administration of the Conquest. All Mongolian troops accepted the changes of the General Administration of the Conquest. All Mongolian officials must be re-appointed by the General Administration of the Conquest. The Mongolian Yuan was destroyed.

Perhaps this news is great news for ordinary people, but for people like Pan Yi who are well aware of the inside story, it is definitely a fatal bad news. This means that General Cheng's three-legged strategic concept has completely gone bankrupt. In the north, General Cheng will be jointly attacked by the Mongolians and the Northern Expedition Army.

General Cheng is in danger.

He returned to the prefecture with restlessness all the way, and the navy commander Li Hongchao was already waiting there, and like him, he had a panic expression.

"Did General Cheng know the news?" Pan Yi asked in a daze.

"We all know the news from the north. Why didn't General Cheng know? Of course he already knows it!" Li Hongchao whispered.

"How is our army, how are our army?" Pan Yi continued to ask. If there is a problem with the army, then what awaits them will definitely be a catastrophe.

Pan Yi is a civil servant. He has always provided food, pay and equipment to the army, and is not very concerned about the movements of the army. However, Li Hongfa knew it clearly. When he heard Pan Yi ask, he couldn't help but lower his head in pain, "Our army is too scattered in the north. Now it seems that it is very likely that they set up a trap to deliberately lure General Cheng to divide his troops. Now Jiang Guangyu is in Liangzhou, Liu Huajian is in Taizhou, Liu Xuyong is in Jiaozhou, and General Cheng is in Yizhou. I'm afraid there will be big problems."

Pan Yi swallowed his saliva, "The guards are brave and good at fighting, and the generals are also experienced. Once they find something wrong, they are just withdrawing their troops. What big problems can there be!"

Li Hongchao shook his head repeatedly, "Mr. Pan, you don't know anything about military affairs. If this is really a trap designed by Yun Zhao, he finally separated our four guards in the vast space in the north. How could he tolerate us to retreat calmly and gather again? The North Army announced the news on March 3rd, and it is already March 10th today. It is conceivable that before the North Army announced the news, all military deployments must have been completed. If I guess correctly, our army is very likely to have been divided and surrounded by them!"

"Encircle the four guards? They have this strength!" Pan Yi shouted.

"There was no one in the past, but now the Northern Expedition Army and the Mongolian Army merged, so there was one. No wonder Yun Zhao sent troops south in large numbers. It turned out that he was already confident. It's a pity that we all called them to cheat!"

"What to do, what to do?" Pan Yi was so anxious that he was wandering around.

"Prepare for war, Lord Pan, the town army is in a state of response! My navy may also usher in a fierce battle. No matter what, we have to defend this retreat for General Cheng, and we can at least bring back the Jinwu Guards." Li Hongchao stood up, "You write to General Cheng immediately and ask him to retreat quickly. I am afraid that the other three guards will not care about it."

"You are right, retreat, retreat. As long as the Jinwu Guard is still there and your navy is still there, at least we can defend Jingzhou. By the way, I have to write a letter to the Fourth Master immediately, asking the Fourth Master to send troops to help. His lips and teeth are cold. If General Cheng is defeated, the Fourth Master will not have a good life!" Pan Yi jumped up and ran to the edge of the big case. He didn't care about asking the servant to moisten the ink, rolled up his sleeves, and started to fuck himself.

"Sir, I'm going!" Li Hongchao stood up and bowed to Pan Yi with his fists. "The Navy of the North Army will definitely come. Please ask Lord Pan to prepare more weapons. The next consumption of our army will definitely be huge."

"You go, I can save it!" Pan Yi didn't raise his head, and said while waving his pen and writing.

Yizhou Prefecture, the silence of death, Liu Huajian and Liu Xuyong's eight hundred miles of speed almost reached Cheng Qun's hands at the same time as the news announced by the Zhengbei Army, and Cheng Qun was stunned.

The strategic plan that has been carefully planned for several years and worked hard to put it into pieces has become a joke. He stumbled out of the lobby. In the yard, the stone tablet that Yao Changkun left when he left was still in place. "I'm here, don't leave!" He once used it as a motto that motto that inspired him and still kept it in the yard. Seeing it, he reminded himself to work hard at all times, but now it seems that this stone tablet was not left by his opponent, but with a deep meaning.

When you come, don't leave! Cheng Qun roared, drew his sword and slashed it hard. With a sound of the sound of the sound, the monument was broken and the knife was broken.
