Chapter 348 Attacking Ye Erqiang 1
Ma Peng's most annoying thing was to watch Wu Sangui's sailors wandering back and forth on the Yangtze River, but he could do nothing to annihilate it. First of all, Ma Peng did not have a navy, and there were several broken ships, but it was not comparable to Wu Sangui's navy.
Wu Sangui also knew that he could not attack the Kuilang Legion in the north at this time, so he focused on defending the Yangtze River, so that the Pingbei Army could not cross the Yangtze River and attack him.
Wu Sangui has heard about Liu Xia building a navy, but the navy is in Jiaozhou, and it is 108,000 miles away from Wu Sangui. He is not too worried now.
According to Liu Xia's strategy, Liu Xia should first annihilate the threat of the north, that is, the tartars, and then free up his hands to recover the south. The north is hungry wolves, and the south is just sheep. After annihilating the tartars, Liu Xia can free up several warlords in the south and clean them up.
Moreover, there are many waterways in the south, so it takes a large number of sailors to completely capture the south.
"General, don't we have a navy? Why don't we let the navy come to the Yangtze River to destroy Wu Sangui's broken ships? I heard that the equipment of the navy is quite powerful. A general muttered.
In fact, Ma Peng also asked Liu Xia to send some sailors to him to clean up Wu Sangui's sailors on the Yangtze River, but Liu Xia did not reply to him. After that, he played many times. In the end, Liu Xia told him that the navy now has a secret mission, so it can't be transferred. As for what task it was, Liu Xia didn't say, and Ma Peng didn't dare to ask.
As for Wu Sangui's navy blockade of the Yangtze River, Liu Xia directly said that he let Ma Peng wait for some days. When the navy's task was completed, it was the time for Wu Sangui's army's death.
Ma Peng waited for several months, but the navy disappeared.
"What on earth is the navy doing?" Ma Peng really can't figure it out.
However, Liu Xia will definitely not deceive him. Since he said that the navy has a secret mission, there must be a secret mission.
"The water army has not been fully formed, so it can't come. We need to wait for a few more days. Ma Peng didn't dare to say that the navy had a secret mission, so he didn't come. He can't guarantee whether there is a gap between the enemies in his generals. If the navy has a secret mission, if it is spread out, something will definitely happen. The secret mission must be aimed at the enemy. At present, there are only a few enemies, either against Wu Sangui or against the Tari. No matter who it is aimed at, if Wu Sangui knows, and Wu Sangui tells the taran again, isn't that a bad dish?
"How long has the water army been established? It's almost September now, almost a year. What on earth are their sailors doing? Can't they even get a decent army for a year? At the beginning, there were many people who were good at water in our Kuilang Legion. Which one we sent to their navy is not an elite warrior. These warriors are also soldiers of a hundred battles anyway, and there must be no problem on the battlefield.
Ma Peng's words immediately aroused the resentment of the generals. At the beginning, the navy took away a lot of good seedlings from them, which made them heartbroken, but because Liu Xia was the backing, they did not dare to stop it. Now there is a chance, so I began to vent.
Ma Peng coughed awkwardly, and one of his lies actually caused such a chain reaction.
"Everyone be quiet. The water army is different from other armies, and the training time may be longer."
"There is one more thing to ask everyone over today. It's about recruitment."
"Recruitment?"
"Don't we have the right to recruit? What kind of soldiers are you recruiting?"
Ma Peng explained, "We don't have the right to recruit soldiers, but in order to enable people everywhere to join the army on the spot, the prince set up a new barracks in Xinyang. Xinyang is not far from us, so the logistics department asked us to cooperate with the new battalion commander of Xinyang, who will come soon.
"It's just a new battalion commander--"
It is true that any one around Ma Peng is better than the battalion commander of the new barracks, even if the battalion commander is equivalent to the regimental level. But now these people around Ma Peng are also the deputy commanders of the guard. The highest is the deputy commander of the legion. I don't know how many times higher than this regiment leader, Yang Yong.
However, the battalion commander of the new barracks is a popular position. He came out as the battalion commander from the new barracks, and both of them are doing well. Although he is just a battalion commander now, it is possible to become a brigade commander directly after a few years of enough qualifications.
Don't bully the young poor.
As a legion commander, the more he rides, the more he will naturally not condescend to meet the battalion commander of a new barracks. He has a lot of things to do, so he needs to find someone to go on his behalf, and just listen to him say, "Fun, you can come and receive him."
Fu Yun is the deputy commander of Qianniuwei, with the rank of Yang Yong, and the rank of battalion commander of the new barracks is the same. This is also the reason why Ma Peng asked Fu Yun to greet him. If the high level is not good, the low level is not around him now. The lowest is Fu Yun, the deputy commander of the guard.
Fu Yun obviously didn't expect that Ma Peng would let him receive the battalion commander of the so-called new barracks. However, as soon as he thought about it, he understood that his rank was similar to that of the battalion commander of the new barracks, so the job fell to him.
"Yes, my subordinates will help him arrange it"
Ye Erqiang
After a few days, Liu Dazhuang always camped under the city, which made the people in Ye Erqiang City very puzzled and couldn't understand what Liu Dazhuang wanted to do.
In fact, the reason why Liu Dazhuang has not attacked Ye Erqiang City for a long time is actually to secretly contact the nobles who are the heads of Ye Erqiang City. Liu Dazhuang naturally does not want to lose too much of his soldiers and horses, so it would be better if he can subduing others without fighting.
Or it's better to let the people in Ye Erqiang fight by themselves.
In the past few days, the messengers of the Ye Erqiang nobles who came to the barracks were in an endless stream, but they obviously came secretly and sent a large number of precious things to Liu Dazhuang. Of course, these things will be handed over to the logistics personnel in the army, and the things received will be listed, and then transferred to the logistics department, which will be handed over to the financial department. These are classified as trophies, and Liu Dazhuang has no right to deal with them.
In the city of Ye Erqiang, it seemed that all the officials were betrayer Ye Erqiang Khan. At this moment, the big man probably still foolishly thought that his men would fight the peaceful Northern Army with him to the end.
In the end, the people in the city did not fight by themselves. Obviously, those nobles did not want to clash with the Yeerqiang royal family. They chose to leave this matter to Mingjun.
So Liu Dazhuang sent an order to those avatars to open the gate immediately after his army to the end.
Liu Dazhuang was naturally not afraid of their small actions, because after those nobles discussed the surrender with Liu Dazhuang, they handed over part of his family to Liu Dazhuang as a hostage. Once they rebel, these families will fall to the ground.
Liu Dazhuang believes that these officials will not care so much about the interests of the Yeerqiang royal family. As Liu Dazhuang expected, many officials in the city of Ye Erqiang gathered together at this moment to privately discuss how to facilitate the Pingbei army.
According to their previous positions, Liu Dazhuang promised them some official positions so that they would not be displaced. Of course, most of these official positions are virtual or deputy positions. There are basically no rights. It's just an honor.
But it's good to have these. Naturally, there are those who don't want to. Then Liu Dazhuang won't keep them. Just go. After the city is broken, it's your death. When those people heard Liu Dazhuang's threat, the leading personnel quickly returned to Liu Dazhuang's side and asked Liu Dazhuang for forgiveness in a low posture.
Liu Dazhuang brought all the soldiers and horses of the two brigades to the city of Ye Erqiang. Today is the final battle between their Pingbei Army and Ye Erqiang City. Liu Dazhuang looked at the dilapidated city wall with a telescope, showing a sneer.
The rows of dark muzzles were facing Ye Erqiang City, and the Ye Erqiang soldiers guarding the city turned pale and trembled with fear.
"The enemy is coming!"
