Chapter 957

After Zhao Bing arrived at Yanziji and briefly understood the current situation, he keenly felt that the biggest difficulty in rescuing the surrounded commando team was the lack of crossing the river. Because if you want to repel the enemy, you must seize the ferry on the other side, and this requires the fastest speed to send the large troops to the shore, quickly consolidate the beachhead position to defeat the enemy, develop to the two wings to establish a safe passage to Guabu Mountain, defeat the enemy troops encircled and suppress the commando team, and respond to them down the mountain. Then retreat to the south bank before the enemy reinforcements arrived.

However, the main force of the Yangtze River Navy is gathered in Jiangzhou to prevent the enemy from crossing the river and invading south from now on. The current war is not yet completely clear, and Zhao Bing dares not take risks. The First Navy Division and the Imperial Navy are still on their way back, and the far waters will eventually find it difficult to quench the near thirst. He thought that at least one regiment of troops would have to use the force of the opponent. The more than 40 ships in Yanziji Water Village alone could not complete the mission of carrying infantry ferry and firepower support at one time. This may be one of the reasons why the rescue operation was difficult to implement and succeed.

Zhao Bing saw that the sandbank called Qingzhou in the river was located at the mouth of Chushui River. It should be the silt of the silt carried by two streams of water here, with an area of ​​more than ten miles and covered by vegetation. He suspected that this might be the original form of Baguazhou in later generations. It is still in its developmental stage and its area is countless times smaller. However, the sea changes, the sandbanks will change with the changes in the river, and their size and location will even disappear overnight, so he is not sure.

At this time, Qingzhou's location is biased towards Jiangbei, and Zhao Bing from the north bank felt that it should be within the coverage of the rocket, that is, about two miles. If pedestrians can be used on the sandbank, then it can be used as a fire support point, and a rocket launcher and heavy artillery can be arranged on it to suppress the landing troops to cover the strength of the landing troops. It can also be used as a transit station. The landing troops can go to the island in cover first, which can not only shorten the distance of the forced transit, but also achieve suddenness and form a surprise weapon.

"General Liu, how much do you know about Qingzhou Island?" Zhao Bing already had a plan in his mind, but he still needed to understand the situation clearly, especially when uninhabited, he should know that some sandbanks are soaked in water and people cannot gain a foothold; some are covered with swamps, and walking on them is also very dangerous; some sandbanks have not developed completely and may collapse at any time.

"Your Majesty, when you were about to prevent the attack, you conducted a detailed survey of the hydrological conditions in the nearby rivers and drew them into a map and recorded them. Qingzhou is naturally listed." Liu Quan Shili replied.

"Very good, get it as soon as possible, I want to see it!" Zhao Bing said happily after hearing this.

"Yes, the wind is very strong on the top of the mountain. It's better to go to the village to take a closer look!" Liu Quan thought about it and reported.

"No, here is a high place, you can look out at the other side of the river, the best location." Zhao Bing waved his hand and refused his kindness. Liu Quan had to immediately order his personal companion to go to the village to get it.

"There are people living in that building!" Zhao Bing looked around and saw a pavilion on the top of the mountain, and pointed at Liu Quan and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the pavilions and pavilions on this mountain were built by predecessors throughout the ages for tourists to enjoy the river view and rest. Many of the descendants also repaired them, but they were all unowned items. However, the two armies fought here, and after the establishment of the water camp, they had been marked as a forbidden area, and no one was allowed to enter. The pavilions were also requisitioned as a lookout post." Liu Quan replied.

"Well, I chose the location well, so I will requisition it for the time being. As my place of residence, Commander Liu has no objection, right?" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this place is very simple and lacks something to respond, or..." Liu Quan was shocked.

"Tan Fei, open a temporary command post in the Wangjiang Pavilion, arrange a camp, pay attention to the implementation of light control, and do not arouse the vigilance of the other side!" Before Liu Quan finished speaking, Zhao Bing ordered.

"Abide by the order!" Tan Fei replied without hesitation. He knew that once the little emperor was sure of his attention, he would be useless to persuade him. He immediately sent someone to clean up and transport the required materials up the mountain, and at the same time he adjusted the guard post.

"Commander Liu, how many soldiers can your warships belonging to you send to the shore at a time?" Zhao Bing asked again.

"Your Majesty, there are many shallows on the south bank. Large ships cannot approach the river bank. They can only grab the beach with flat-bottomed boats. There are fifteen small warships in the water village, which can carry twenty soldiers at a time, and send two capitals at a time!" Liu Quan immediately replied, "If you can seize the ferry, you can transition from medium-sized warships and carry one capital at a time."

"Well, the key is to control the ferry first, so that you can quickly transport troops and attack in depth quickly. But the first time you invested, you cannot resist the enemy's counterattack!" Zhao Bing nodded and pondered for a moment, "General Liu, while the sky was still bright, he sent a few scouts to the island from the north to survey the terrain, and chose a place where you could moor boats to the island."

"Your Majesty, I am here to welcome you, please forgive me!" Before Zhao Bing could finish his explanation, Chen Fenglin hurried to the top of the mountain and saluted.

"I came without complaining, and it has disturbed your tranquility. Please forgive me!" Zhao Bing said angrily.

"Your Majesty has killed his subordinates like this. Please ask Your Majesty to enter the city to rest!" Chen Fenglin saw the little emperor tense face and felt that something was wrong and said politely again.

"My soldiers are still surrounded by the enemy, and their lives are uncertain. How can I sit there? But it is better than Du Tong Chen who is not surprised and sits firmly on Diaoyutai, and he is as good as a general!" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Fenglin with his hands behind his back and said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die!" Chen Fenglin knelt on one knee and said, "I have tried my best to rescue me since the accident, but I am really unable to do my best and dare not fight without voluntarily, so as not to cause greater losses."

"Can you come up with a solution by sitting in your government office? Let everyone watch them one by one by one by the Tartars!" Zhao Bing scolded.

"Your Majesty, please report to your subordinates that since the harassing team sent by the 101st Division was trapped, the subordinates ordered the division commander to rescue as soon as possible and sent troops to supervise the battle, but several attempts failed. And!" Chen Fenglin said.

"Did I say this because I am meddling in other people's business, or did you forget the oath that you would not leave any brothers behind and take them all home?" Zhao Bing said even more angrily when he heard that he had not been in charge of the command and dispatch.

"I dare not forget for a moment!" Chen Fenglin lowered his head and said.

"Your Majesty, when you go to Qingzhou Island, you will think that the infantry will still need to investigate the terrain together to find out whether the rocket launching position can be arranged!" Liu Quan reported at this time.

"Well, is there anything else?" Zhao Bing nodded, but seeing that Liu Quan had not set off yet, he frowned and asked again.

"Your Majesty, the last general is the navy. The matter of selecting infantry needs to be ordered by General Chen Du!" Liu Quan looked at Chen Fenglin and said.

"Hmph, get up first, and then settle the score with you!" Zhao Bing thought about it, and snorted coldly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Fenglin said again, but the little emperor seemed to have not heard it, and he also held a telescope to observe the situation on the other side.

Seeing that the little emperor was still angry, Chen Fenglin could only stand up embarrassedly, thank Liu Quan for helping him, and then briefly introduced the emperor's idea. The most important thing at the moment is to survey Qingzhou Island to see if the warship carrying soldiers could dock and whether it could escape the gaze of the enemy on the other side. But all this needs to be seen on the island before you know.

After hearing this, Chen Fenglin secretly called himself accused of being scolded. Why didn't he think of using the sandbanks in the river to set up a bridgehead to arrange troops and long-range support for firepower? Now, only by making up for the mistakes, he immediately wrote an order, asking the commander of the scout camp and Sima of the artillery brigade to go to the island to investigate together with the navy army, and repeatedly reminded him to be careful and not make any mistakes.

"It's all the fault of your subordinates. Your Majesty, please calm down!" After arranging the matter here, Chen Fenglin came to the little emperor with apology again.

"Oh, you should remember the despair we were in death in Quanzhou back then. I hoped that someone would come to help us get out of trouble, but no one would help us, so I made a vow of living and dying together. Now, thinking that those trapped soldiers are in the same mood as we did at the beginning, I also hope that we can cross the river to rescue them." Zhao Bing did not get angry anymore, but sighed lightly.

"Of course I remember that under the strong enemy, everyone fled, and the panic and despair in their hearts made life worse than death!" Chen Fenglin also said with emotion.

"Now you are a general who commands thousands of troops, but you cannot forget the difficulties that day. Although there will be sacrifices in the war, you cannot give up the life of a soldier at will, and you cannot regard the life of a soldier as grass. Just think that they are the steps for their own promotion, otherwise you will not be worthy of being a general!" Zhao Bing said solemnly.

"Your Majesty's teachings, my subordinates will keep in mind. I am willing to lead a army across the river to rescue!" Chen Fenglin nodded repeatedly.

"Well, it's best to have this heart. We have experienced many battles. There has not been a battle that left the brothers in the robe and let them expose their bodies in the wilderness. They have all been killed in this battle, and they have to take their bodies back and bury them properly at any cost. They must not let the soldiers' hearts be cold!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Yes!" Chen Fenglin agreed. Although he had just been scolded by His Majesty, he had no resentment at all, but was very happy. Thinking about the fact that the little emperor left behind the important affairs of the court for more than 20 ordinary soldiers, he traveled thousands of miles to the frontier to try his best to rescue him. If he was in danger one day, he would not turn a blind eye and would try his best to rescue him.

"Your Majesty, the arrangements have been completed there. Please ask the Governor Chen to discuss with you in the building!"

"I will pay my respects to the two empresses!" Chen Fenglin turned around and saw it, stunned for a moment and immediately saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work in Governor Chen, please give me a gift!" Li Sanniang raised her hand and said with a helping hand.

"Thank you!" Chen Fenglin bowed again.

"Why are you wearing this way? If you don't rest in the village, why are you going up the mountain?" Zhao Bing looked at the two of them and frowned. At this time, not only did Li Sanniang change into military uniforms, but Wang Yu didn't know where to find a sailor uniform to wear. At this time, Li Sanniang was still the commander of the mountain brigade, and the military uniform was complete, but Wang Yu's military uniform was bare without armbands, badges, and no military position. However, he had a good figure and the blue and white sailor uniform also had a different charm when wearing it. He not only sighed inwardly that these two people were going to play with him to tempt the uniform!

"After Your Majesty enters the camp, there is still a drop of water. How can I rest? The military uniforms are asked for by me, so it is more convenient!" Wang Yu said with a straight hat.

"I am here to discuss matters, you don't have to follow me!" Zhao Bing waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, don't forget the three rules that you have made with the ministers. I am worried that if you accidentally do not, your Majesty has crossed the river!" Li Sanniang snorted.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty and the two empresses to move to the city. If there is a feint, don't forgive me if I die!" Chen Fenglin did not expect that the emperor would bring the two empresses here, but it seems that this is what he meant to stay on the mountain.

"Whether I can enter the city depends on you. If this matter has no result in one day, I will not leave the command post half a step!" Zhao Bing looked at Chen Fenglin and smiled, but his firm tone showed that he was not joking.

"Your Majesty is no longer free now!" Chen Fenglin leaned into the little emperor's ear and whispered.

"Oh, it turns out that only the Empress Dowager and a few masters looked at me, but now there are so many more people, they are here to be the military supervisor!" Zhao Bing smiled bitterly and shook his head, and walked towards Wangjiang Pavilion first.

"Hehe, there are two empresses here, but I don't have to worry about it!" Chen Fenglin took two steps to follow and said with a smile.

"I have no conscience. In order to help you come from thousands of miles away, I was forced to agree to the harsh conditions set by the magistrates. It was a shame and humiliation, but you still said sarcastic words. I only gave you three days. If you can't bring someone back, you will be removed from your post and I will go back to stand guard at the palace gate!" Zhao Bing snorted coldly.

"Oh, if it was a sunset, I wonder if the official family would come to rescue him so desperately?" Wang Yu sighed as he looked at the emperor and Chen Fenglin talking and laughing in front of him.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is the most protective of his shortcomings, especially for the people around him. Last night, His Majesty got up several times to cover you with a blanket to check whether you were sleeping soundly and to test whether you were feverish. He was more nervous than anyone else. If he was in trouble, he would not have tried his best to save him!" Li Sanniang said with a blank look.

"Is that so? I didn't realize it at all. It turns out that the official family is not a person who doesn't know how to cherish the fragrance and jade." Wang Yu said with a blushing face.

"Then what kind of person do you think the official family was?" Li Sanniang asked with a smile.

"I can't understand either." Wang Yu thought about it and shook her head, "The way the official family scolded Du Shuai Chen just now is really scary. I have always been worried that the official family will kill him in anger! But in the blink of an eye, the two of them were almost hooked on their shoulder straps, and they were so intimate."

"Haha, the government has always been strict and strict in the military management, and it is clear that public and private matters are clear. If it violates military discipline, it is punishable and it is not merciless. But in private, it is lenient to others, regardless of high or low, and has a deep personal relationship with the generals." Li Sanniang said, "But the look of the government looking at you wearing military uniforms is very wrong. I am afraid that you will spoil you in private!" Li Sanniang said with a smile.
