Chapter 557 Sending 100,000 troops
For several days in a row, because the first army of King Liu Dukedom to invade the territory of Yizhen was wiped out so quickly that no one in the territory of Yizhen could react.
The fishermen's village, the salt field and the surrounding villages began to evacuate and retreat to Yi Town at noon on September 1, and the relocation was not completed until 11:00 on September 2. On the morning of September 3, administrative officials from Yi Town organized They returned home and resumed production.
For these residents, it seems that a lot of surrendered troops have been added to the Yizhen military camp, and many residents from empty islands and outlying islands have come to the Yizhen military camp to find their relatives.
Like the evacuated residents in the Fisherman's Village and its surrounding areas, many of these people were citizens who bought back from Yancheng Port. By the way, some acquaintances who were separated after coming to Yizhen's territory could also meet each other and bump into each other by mistake. Under this circumstance, the satisfaction of residents in Yi Town Territory has actually increased a lot.
With 150,000 surrendered troops squeezed in, the original barracks in Yizhen's territory also seemed a bit crowded, so Yizhen urgently built 10 zero-level barracks, and began to upgrade in a hierarchical manner.
The few troops that were particularly loyal to His Royal Highness the Third Princess of the former Liusu Principality, such as the 1,000 fourth-tier light cavalry troops in the Yancheng Army, Zhao Pan has always been jealous, and he is unwilling to let these cavalry and infantry crowd together in the Yizhen barracks, so Zhao Pan The navy was commissioned to send out a troop carrier to transport the 1,000 fourth-tier light cavalry and their mounts to Sky Island.
Wang Mao and Franklin King were not allowed to graze the mounts of the Yizhen Territory cavalry on Sky Island in the third year of Tianxuan, but now it seems that they can't keep this bottom line.
1,000 war horses followed their fourth-tier light cavalry masters to the sky island. There are so many green pastures growing on the sky island, how could it be completely controlled? Fortunately, Franklin Jin and Wang Mao have been transferred from the empty island, out of sight, out of mind.
On September 8th of the third year of Tianxuan, Su Nan sent a remote communication to Su Yan, telling Su Yan: Liuwang Dukedom's reinforcement fleet will set off at 5 am on September 9th, and this time 70 troop carriers will be dispatched to transport 7 Ten thousand troops, including 10,000 Tier 4 light cavalry troops, and 60 warship escorts.
The composition of the warship fleet is 10 large warships, 20 medium-sized warships, and 30 small warships, with a total of about 31,000 naval soldiers.
Along with the 60 warships, there are 10 sea ships. These sea ships contain more than 2,000 civil engineering technicians, carpenters, blacksmiths, medical personnel and other professional and technical personnel urgently dispatched by Liuwang Principality. These technicians will accompany the reinforcements. Arrived together to assist Zhang Zhiyong in building a temporary camp.
Of course, there are still 1 million units of grain and 500,000 units of war consumables on board.
When Su Yan reported this information to Qu Mao, Qu Mao was a little bit taken aback. Unexpectedly, Kong Ming's random strategy could really deceive 100,000 reinforcements and more than 2,000 technicians.
In Qu Mao's mind, the value of these 2,000 technicians is far greater than the value of the 100,000 reinforcements. As for other auxiliary items, such as food and war consumables, they are all added to Qu Mao .
Qu Mao asked with some concern: "Su Yan, we will lure the 100,000 troops ashore as last time before persuading them to surrender."
Su Yan smiled and said: "My lord, there is no way to pass the news of Earl Zhang Zhiyong back to the Zhang family in Zhicheng, and the good news he wrote to the usurper was also ordered by Master Kong Ming.
The fourth-tier light cavalry are all subordinate Yancheng soldiers, and they are operated by Su Bo as soon as they arrive at Yancheng Port. Therefore, it is reasonable for the usurpers to believe in this good news, and they sent Zhang Zhigang, the younger brother of Earl Zhang Zhiyong, as the commander of the reinforcements, because Zhang Zhigang He is Zhang Zhiyong's younger brother, but he does not have a noble title.
Among the 100,000 reinforcements, Su Bo also operated the soldiers. There are nearly 30,000 Yancheng soldiers in the reinforcements. The loyalty of the Yancheng soldiers to their subordinates should be the same as the fourth-order light cavalry that you have checked before.
Qu Mao thought for a while and said, "That's good. I'm satisfied if I can take down the 100,000 reinforcements without bloodshed. As for the 1 million units of food and grass, I don't think much of it."
Su Yan said: "My lord, there is a high probability of getting the 100,000 reinforcements this time without bloodshed.
It is necessary to inform Earl Zhang Zhiyong to set up a temporary pier at the fisherman's village to meet the reinforcements, and then it can be operated. Zhang Zhigang must not find some clues and escape far away from Yi Island. "
Qu Mao said: "Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and tell Earl Zhang Zhiyong to bring someone to do it.
Although you are so confident, I still don't want to let you take risks, so let Zhao Pan and Chafidel make second-hand preparations.
The army needs to be deployed to prevent accidents from happening. "
Su Yan said: "My lord is very worried, and my subordinates will make arrangements immediately."
At 4:00 p.m. on September 9, the third year of Tianxuan, troop carriers were docking at the temporary pier built overnight outside the fishermen's village, and there was a circle of warships patrolling the offshore. After all, the number of temporary pier was limited, not enough for these All ships berthed at once.
Earl Zhang Zhiyong rode his bay red warhorse, wearing yellow armor, standing on the side of the temporary pier waiting for reinforcements.
Sylvia Ocean and Fur Swamp led 200 warships of the Yizhen Territory Navy, circled from the empty island to a place about 10 kilometers behind the fleet, completely sealed off the fleet and fled back. Road to Yancheng Port.
In the fisherman's village, the salt field, and the valley to the north of the creek, there are army ambushes from the territory of Yi Town. These are the preventive measures deployed by Qu Mao to avoid accidents.
On the troop carrier, a general wearing white armor and riding a white horse disembarked along the bridge of the troop carrier, walked up to Zhang Zhiyong, and was just about to take off his helmet and salute.
Earl Zhang Zhiyong said with a serious expression: "General Zhang Zhigang, why don't you hurry up and see His Royal Highness the Third Princess?"
Zhang Zhigang in the silver armor was stunned for a moment. Before he could recover, he heard the orderly shouts from the direction of the salt field: "Soldiers from Yancheng will pay homage to His Royal Highness the Third Princess."
There was a commotion on the warships and troop carriers on the sea, and Zhang Zhigang also looked terrified and at a loss.
The orderly shouts in the direction of the salt field continued: "Soldiers from Yancheng will pay homage to His Highness the Third Princess and pay their allegiance to His Highness the Third Princess!"
10 minutes later, different warships and troop carriers began to echo unevenly: "Soldiers from Yancheng see His Royal Highness the Third Princess and pledge their allegiance to Her Royal Highness!"
Su Yan finally showed a smile on her face, and Qu Mao also heaved a sigh of relief. So far, the 100,000 reinforcements were given to the territory of Yi Zhen by Liuwang Principality, and they were all captured without bloodshed.
