Chapter 444
After briefly reporting the situation of the war, Zhao Xing took the initiative to hand over the military power.
Sun Chengzong smiled and shook his head: "I am not familiar with your warfare and I don't understand it. You should command it, I will cooperate with you with all my strength."
Zhao Xing thought about it and what Master Sun said made sense. The two people had different ideas. In addition, changing coaches at the last minute was not justified. In the end, they did not feel pretentious and humble, and continued to command the people in Dongjiang Town.
"What is your purpose?" Sun Chengzong asked.
Zhao Xing said frankly: "My army and horse are young. Facing the eight banners of 50,000 Huang Taiji, I have no ability to defeat them at all. Even if you add your five thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry, it is not realistic."
Sun Chengzong also knew about this, so he nodded without interrupting Zhao Xing's continued remarks.
"What I can do now is to aim at Jiannu's point like an awl and keep attacking." Then point to the Dongshuimen of the Daling River on the map he was hurriedly drawn: "My purpose is to dive into the Dongshuimen of the Daling River, occupy this pier, and then enter the Daling River, join forces with General Zu Dashou, and defend the Daling River to the death."
Sun Chengzong frowned: "The food in Dalinghe City has been out of stock long ago. If you go in, you will not be able to defeat Huang Taiji. If you just trap you in, it will be even more unworthy of the loss."
Zhang Dake leaned forward and said, "Mr. Zhao and I have made an appointment. As long as he occupies the East Gate Wharf of Daling River, I will send a medium-sized eagle ship from my navy to continuously transport supplies to ensure that Lord. Zhao guards the Daling River."
Sun Chengzong frowned: "The Daling River is less than three miles wide. If Jiannu set up cannons on both sides of the river to stop you, can you rush in?"
Zhang Dake replied confidently: "As long as you occupy Dongshuimen, Lord Zhao will hand over one hundred Folang machine cannons to me. Lord Zhao's Folang machine cannon is really a good thing. Three hundred kilograms per cannon is enough to match the power of five hundred kilograms. At the same time, the fire speed is fast and the sight is accurate, the heat dissipation is fast, and it can be shot far. With such a powerful weapon in hand, hehe, Huang Taiji and I have been playing with cannons for a lifetime, so I can't kill him."
The reason why Zhang Dake worked so hard in fighting was that Zhao Xing generously distributed his contribution to others' military achievements; the other hand, he promised that the war would end, and the hundred of the most advanced Flang machine cannons in this era would be his.
With these hundred cannons joining his navy, his navy's combat effectiveness will be increased exponentially. Now, Zhang Dake has begun to plan to take the navy deep into the Bohai Sea in the future and fight with the group of pirates. Military merits are trivial matters, black food, but the one who makes money the fastest. Now, Zhang Dake's eyes are done by Brother Kong Fang.
Faced with Zhao Xing's arrangement, Sun Chengzong was very pleased, but finally sighed: "You can enter Daling River, although you can defend it, we Guanning, ah-" sighed and shook our heads gently: "I don't know when this battle to defend the city will end."
Zhao Xing said to Sun Chengzong with confidence: "It won't be long. Huang Taiji must go back to Liaodong with his tail between his legs."
"Why?"
"Because, the Guangzi Camp led by Liu Guangzuo in Dongjiang Town, had 12,000 people, who had already raided Huang Taiji's nest, Liaoyang Shengjing, with light clothes, and went directly to smash his turtle nest."
When Sun Chengzong heard this, he suddenly stood up and asked Zhao Xing in disbelief: "How many soldiers are there in Dongjiang Town?"
Zhao Xing smiled and retorted: "Mr. Sun was wrong. It was not my Dongjiang Town, but the Dongjiang Town of the court. As for how many soldiers, Mao Zhongming, the acting general."
Mao Zhongming stood up and reported proudly: "The last general reported to Lord Denglaisun. According to the war needs, there are 50,000 artillery soldiers, and 25,000 garrison soldiers."
Sun Chengzong was shocked: "It's all soldiers like you?"
"They are all selected Liaodong men who are eighteen to thirty years old, strong and hateful."
"All of these equipments?"
"No relatives and distantness."
Sun Chengzong was shocked again: "How much money does Denglai have to invest in a year? My Sun Yuanhua is really capable of it."
Zhang Dake replied: "Except for the emperor's promise to give 24,000 posts, 400,000 yuan in silver and 500,000 yuan in grain, they are all self-sufficient."
Zhao Xing also pointed at his nose and showed it: "The emperor said 400,000 silver and 500,000 grain, and it was still a blank check, and it was still the one who was responsible for the officials."
Looking at Zhao Xing with a gloomy face, Sun Chengzong had to start paying more attention to Zhao Xing, and sighed to his heart: "I might as well see the wise man." That's what he said, but seeing Mao Zhongming and other generals in Dongjiang Town, who obeyed Zhao Xingyan's advice, a sense of worry in his heart could not help but rise.
After suppressing the uneasiness, Sun Chengzong asked, "When did Liu Guangzuo Camp set out?"
Zhao Xing replied, "Down three days later than me."
“Why are this arrangement?”
"I first paralyze Huang Taiji, making him think that if I brought Dongjiang Town here, there would be no more troops to invade his nest, so that General Liu Guangzuo could achieve greater results."
"Then is his target Liaoyang or Shenyang?"
Zhao Xing smiled indifferently: "I only give him a rough strategy. As for how he does it, it is his business. Even if he goes to Hetuala and digs Huang Taiji's ancestral tomb, I don't care. I can't help it. I will not accept the orders of foreign military orders. As long as he completes the transfer of Huang Taiji, I will be considered as if he completes the task."
Faced with such an arrangement, Sun Chengzong had nothing to say, and finally pondered: "Then how do you plan to use my five thousand reinforcements?" Unconsciously, Sun Chengzong positioned himself as a supporter. It is natural that he is stronger than others.
Zhao Xing said without hesitation: "Since my tactic is an awl, I can break the enemy's position at a little bit and aim at the water gate of Daling River, then the enemy will definitely strengthen the blockade here. And the awl is an awl, which cannot become a hammer, and cannot form a decisive battle in the direction of my advance. Therefore, please ask Master Sun to take these ten thousand Guanning cavalry around Jiannu, and attract their main force cannot strengthen our strength ahead."
Then he smiled and said, "Master Sun must remember that it is enough to roam and restrain it. You must follow the action and never fight. If the situation is not good, you will run away." The meaning in the words is very obvious. You can't beat you, and you dare not fight, but run away, you can always run past Jiannu, that is your strength. Then, you just run away.
Sun Chengzong understood Zhao Xing's intention, that is, he was considered a waste use, and he did it himself, and in Zhao Xing's mind, it was optional.
"Okay, then I will take them to disturb the enemy. Be more careful here."
Zhao Xing quickly pretended to keep him: "It is hard and dangerous to disturb the enemy. Please ask Master Sun to take charge on Zhang Dake's fleet and command the overall situation."
Sun Chengzong pointed at Zhao Xing's nose and laughed: "I know you bother me. I dislike me as a burden to you. I wish I could walk away. But the warship of the Denglai Navy is equivalent to the territory of the Denglai area. Officials are not allowed to cross the border without any orders. You know this."
Zhao Xing sneered awkwardly. He couldn't hear Sun Chengzong's obvious point of view anymore, so he would be stupid, unless he pretended to be stupid.
Zhao Xing pretended to be stupid: "It's all my colleagues from the Ming Dynasty, so I'd better ask Master Sun to go to the sea to be safe."
"Forget it, I understand your little thoughts. OK, I will complete my task now, so you can do it yourself."
