Chapter 203 Night Attack on Wuhu Island

(Thanks to Mercury One for its monthly ticket support, I strongly ask for likes. Now there is a batch like function. Please give Muzi a like. This like is not much, but it has a lot to do with writers like Muzi!)

Li Guan's idea shocked all the generals. It was too bold to attack Wuhu Island. Everyone looked at each other and didn't know how to react for a while. Setting up a trap to ambush Feng Zhang's fleet, which was already playing with fire. But now, Li Guan not only wanted to annihilate Feng Zhang's fleet, but also wanted to attack Wuhu Castle. Wuhu Castle is one of the five castles in the Daxiezhai, the imperial court guards the town and attacks Wuhu Castle. Wouldn't that behave like a rebellion?

Li Guan saw everyone's reactions, and he had long expected everyone to react like this. This step was a bit big, and the generals couldn't understand him very well. However, this was not his whim, but his thoughts after careful consideration.

If Shamen Town wants to develop, then it will never be able to overcome Daxie Village. Feng Zhang's hostility to Shamen Town is obvious. Feng Zhang always wants to remove his thorn in his side. At first, he did not give him weapons, but later he even deliberately sent pirates to attack Shamen Island, and then he hijacked his weapons and blamed Wang Jin, trying to trigger a conflict between Wang Jin and him. Although he resolved it again and again, Feng Zhang's strength is much stronger than Shamen Town. Feng Zhang is still a little worried now. If Yi Iodine Zhang has no scruples, then Shamen Town will have more troubles.

No one understands the changes in the later Tang Dynasty better than Li Guan. At present, the wealthy families of the Tang Dynasty still believe that although the court could no longer control the place. The Li Tang royal family also became a puppet in the hands of eunuchs, but they still feel that the aristocratic races controlled the place and the various vassal states checked and balanced each other. The Tang Dynasty could have at least a hundred years of world or even longer ruled. After all, since the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty has been maintained for more than a hundred years by the balance between vassal states for more than a hundred years.

Although many people in the court shouted and said that the vassal states were separatist and the country was chaotic. In fact, if these dozens of vassal states had not checked and balanced each other and maintained a wonderful balance between the world, how could the Li Tang Dynasty after the Anshi Rebellion be maintained to this day? Since it has been maintained for more than a hundred years, it may not be impossible to maintain another hundred years.

This idea is the concept of most people at the moment, even Cui Yunqing and Li Wei, who are at the top, are almost the same.

Only Li Guan knew very well that these people were just dreaming. The wealthy family and the generals united, and indeed controlled the local vassal states. On the surface, the vassal states were still peaceful. When the vassal states were at the peak of the clan politics, they had even surpassed the previous peak of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. They never thought that while the wealthy family was drunk and singing, the land annexation of the Tang Dynasty was extremely serious. In addition, natural disasters continued, the people at the bottom were overwhelmed.

But the court and local vassal states were still trying their best to plunder the people, but they didn't know that no matter how powerful the bow was, if they kept tensing the string, it would sooner or later break.

Li Guan knew very well about this opportunity. Just this year, another severe drought, two consecutive years of disasters, will put the entire Central Plains and the north in a more serious famine than last year. Last year's famine, the people fled everywhere and barely survived. But this year's famine is truly deadly. The hungry people who can't even get food are vicious. If there are too many such vicious hungry people, they will become a group of robbers. If someone incites them, it will become a civil unrest.

This is not Li Guan's fault, but a fact. In history, the most famine this year will be the provinces of Henan Province, where hungry people gathered to steal. Then, among them, Wang Xianzhi, a famous salt dealer in the rivers and lakes in Henan, will take the opportunity to revive the matter, and then Huang Chao, who has been selling salt for generations, will follow and join together. They will start the last thirty years of troubled times of the Tang Dynasty.

After these two people got together, the surface balance of the Tang Dynasty would be completely disrupted, and even the last little peace scene would be gone.

Zhu Wen, who feeds pigs, Wang Jian, who steals donkeys, and other heroes from the late Tang Dynasty will all make their debut.

It’s almost time to go. Could it be that Li Guan will be trapped in the small Shamen Town and be suppressed by Feng Zhang?

impossible.

It’s time to come. In the chaotic times, shouldn’t we make a difference? Should we watch Huang Chao, Qin Zongquan, Sun Ru and other people who were in the late Tang Dynasty continue to rampant in the world with their cannibal army?

He wanted to change all this, but he didn't want to see the powerful Tang Empire overturned.

The Tang Dynasty will completely enter a turbulent and turbulent world. Only soldiers and horses can have territory, and only soldiers and territory can make their own voices.

Feng Zhang was the first blocking stone in front of Li Guan. After this period of hard preparation, Li Guan felt that it was time for him to take action. Although the troops had not yet been trained, if you start first, you can make up for many shortcomings in this area.

During this period, Li Guan conducted a detailed investigation on Feng Zhang's strength. The final summary showed that Feng Zhang had been in charge of Da Xie Fort for many years and had a great power in operation. On the surface, Feng Zhang had 3,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact, in addition to these 3,000 soldiers and horses, Feng Zhang's Da Xie Fort also had about 1,000 soldiers and troops of his generals. In addition, there were some soldiers and horses belonging to auxiliary soldiers, about 2,000. In addition, Feng Zhang also had a crew member with about 2,000 people. In addition, he could mobilize children of about 3,000 at any time in an emergency.

With all the strengths combined, Feng Zhang had more than 10,000 troops. There were five forts and seven guards, more than 30 large and small islands in three major archipelagos, and his warships all together had more than 100.

Directly fighting Feng Zhang is undoubtedly an unwise choice. Li Guan thought for a long time. If he wanted to kill Feng Zhang, it would be almost impossible to go to the front. He could only use other methods, and now it is a good opportunity. Although he could not kill Feng Zhang, he could eat one of his fleets and one of his forts. If things succeed, Feng Zhang would be weakened by one-third of his strength.

The generals said it well. This is a crazy plan and it is playing with fire. However, Li Guan knew his situation. If he continued to do so, he might not even be able to break through the Great Xie Fort in his life. What about how to participate in the competition in the chaotic times in the late Tang Dynasty?

After careful calculations, Li Guan felt that the plan to kill the current fleet and take down Wuhu Castle may be more than 60%. However, before starting this plan, he still needs to consider one thing, that is, how to deal with the next thing after really taking this step.

The biggest possibility is that Feng Zhang broke up and started a war directly. However, if he could really eat the current fleet and Wuhu Fortress and fight, Shamen Town only needs to defend Shamen Island and should be able to defend it. What Li Guan is most worried about is whether Wang Jin will participate. And if Wang Jin participates, will the soldiers and horses belonging to Song Wei and Cui Yunqing in Dengzhou support him?

If Wang Jin did not participate, Li Guan was not afraid of Feng Zhang at all. If Wang Jin participated and Dengzhou's troops sent troops to support him, Li Guan would have a comprehensive advantage, and he was confident that he could take this opportunity to annex the Da Xie Village in one fell swoop.

Playing with fire, if you succeed, Shamen Town may swallow Da Xie Village. But if it fails, he will probably have to follow Huang Beard and the others to escape to the sea.

"If I want to make Feng Zhang's rebellion, will you dare to follow me?" Li Guan looked around the generals and asked loudly.

The generals were surprised at first, and then replied loudly without hesitation: "I wish to follow the general to the death and never give up!"

Since the Middle Tang Dynasty, the court often changed its commanders every three or five years in order to control the vassal states, but the commanders did not transfer troops. The commanders of the vassal states often changed, but the soldiers below were not changed. Over time, the actual power of the vassal states often fell into the hands of the vassal states. When the commanders of the vassal states conflicted with the soldiers below, soldiers often occurred, killing the commanders or expelling the commanders, and finally supporting the commanders.

There have been too many such things, which made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty accustomed to it. Therefore, when the generals heard Li Guan openly say that they would create Feng Zhang's rebellion, everyone was just a little surprised. As long as they did not openly create the rebellion of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there was nothing to be scary. As long as they had enough strength, even the emperor's rebellion could be created, and they could surrender again if they could not defeat them. Isn't this the three towns in Hebei like this for more than a hundred years? The court could not do anything to them.

"Write a letter to Huang Dangjia. Tell him that the plan has changed slightly and let him find a way to delay Feng Ming for a day."

Wang Chongming said with a smile: "Maybe that playboy Feng Ming is not a match for the Huang family at all, and the Huang family himself destroyed them directly."

"It's natural that way. However, although Feng Ming is a playboy, Wu Qian is a powerful figure. We still have to be cautious and make preparations."

Night falls again, and the darkness covers the sea.

Li Huang, Meghan and Julie were in the middle of the Ninghai. Wang Chong and Lin Wu were each on an armed sea ship of 1,500 stones. Li Wei led the soldiers of the reconnaissance capital to live in a speedboat and the nineteen pirates and dozens of speedboats to ride the wind and waves under the stars.

"Megan, I'm betting all my wealth on this battle, and it's up to your command next." Li Chan said to Megan.

"General, I heard that you are a magic archer. I am confident that archery skills are not bad. Today we fight with bows, so what if there are tens of millions of people?" Megan smiled.

Julie said coldly, "There are no tens of millions of people in Wuhu Castle, only five hundred people. And I just got the news that before Feng Ming's fleet left, he transferred 300 guards from Wuhu Castle, Huangcheng Shou and Qin Island Shou, and also recruited hundreds of fishermen and boatmen from Wuhu Island to replenish the fleet. Therefore, there are only 200 formal guards in Wuhu Castle in front of us. If we include the guards' troops, it will be only five hundred. What we really need to consider is not the soldiers on the island, but the castle. Last time your people opened the castle on Cat Island, it will be determined if we can come again this time."

"No problem!" Li Yan chuckled.

There are five main islands in the Wuhu Island, namely Wuhu Island, Beihuangcheng Island and Nanhuangcheng Island, as well as Daqin Island and Xiaoqin Island. Wuhu Fort is built on Wuhu Island, and Huangcheng Island is built on Beihuangcheng Island. Qin Island is built on Daqin Island. Wuhu Fort usually has 300 garrison soldiers, each with fifty garrison. In addition, there are beacon shops built on several other large and large islands, with a total of 100 people, and a total of 500 soldiers in the entire archipelago. However, there are still many different servants on each island, as well as some civilians who are rotating on the island to serve. In total, less than a thousand people. Before Feng Ming went to Tieshan, he specially returned to Wuhu Island to draw 300 garrison soldiers and recruited hundreds of ship workers to join the crew.

The fleet headed straight to Wuhuben Island, and the patrol yachts on the sea discovered the fleet. They immediately called the fleet and asked about their belongings.

The forward Li Wei led the speedboat to approach quickly and did not answer at all. This action caused the patrol boat to be alert and wanted to escape. However, the reconnaissance boat was fast and it was approaching within a moment. Several iron ropes were thrown up and caught the patrol boat. A group of scouts surrounded the bows like wolves and tigers, and soon captured the patrol soldiers.

Li Wei's reconnaissance was first approaching Wuhu Island Wharf, and the person on the wharf shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Please inform us of your name!"

The patrol prisoner, who was stabbed tightly with a dagger, had to stand up and waved and shouted: "Captain Wang, it's me, Lao Sun."

"Who are these people behind you?" Wang Gutou asked, standing on the arrow tower with some vigilance.

"It is the deputy envoy of Daxie Village who led the fleet to arrive. You should inform Zhang Xiaowei in the fort to come and greet him quickly."

When Wang Gutou heard that Feng had found it, he walked down the arrow tower with some doubts and brought a few small officials on duty on the wharf to us, but he was very alert to let the other guards stay on their posts.

"Where is the deputy soldiers and horse envoy?"

A person suddenly flashed from behind Lao Sun and smiled at him: "Feng Xun is not here. Grandpa is Li Wei, the head of the reconnaissance officer in Shamen Town. Remember, there is no need to be a fool in front of the King of Hell!"

Wang Gun was stunned, his face changed drastically, and his hand immediately touched the horizontal knife on his waist.

Li Wei's movements were faster, and he swung his right hand hard, and a triangular stinger had already roared to the face of the King's head, killing him on the spot.

"kill!"

With Li Wei shouting, the dozen or so reconnaissance soldiers on the first boat that came ashore took their bows and shot arrows, and immediately shot at several arrow towers on the dock. The defenders were too embarrassed to defend, and before they could figure out what was going on, several people were shot down immediately.

The screams of the defenders before their death spread far away in the night sky, and the battle to attack the island was officially started.
