Lord of the House

Sansha Bay is located between Xiapu, Jiaocheng and Luoyuan counties. It is a bay with a big mouth. It is surrounded by Jianjiang Peninsula and Dongchong Peninsula. The waters in the bay are dozens of miles, and the only Dongchong outlet is only two miles away. Thousand steps wide.

On the coast of East Fujian, where typhoons are raging, Sansha Bay can be said to be the most excellent port with lake and sea terrain. It belongs to Jiaocheng, Luoyuan, Xiapu and other counties.

Zhang Gou stood on the deck of the aft cabin, looking at Dongchong Haikou, which is known as the throat of Wuyi.

Even at the beginning of the ten-year East Fujian war, the She family had not consciously controlled the forces of the East China Sea bandits, but they knew that the East China Sea bandits raided the coast, and the containment and destructive effects on the two Zhejiang and Jianghuai areas had always allowed Sansha Bay to become a A safe haven and supply point for the East China Sea bandits.

After the luxury family abandoned the land and went to sea and infiltrated directly into the East China Sea pirates, Sansha Bay developed abnormally and reached its peak two years ago.

After that, most of the East China Sea bandit forces were incorporated into the Zhedong Navy, and Sansha Bay was a little deserted.

Even so, Sanshawan is still the most important seaport along the coast of eastern Fujian. There are densely populated towns and ports along the inner bay. There are as many as three private shipyards alone.

Sansha Bay is so important that it is naturally the key target for the southern raiding fleet to strike.

Zhang Gou originally thought that the defense of Sansha Bay would be stronger. In fact, the limited naval forces in Eastern Fujian were concentrated on Nantai Island at the mouth of the Minjiang River. The defense of Sansha Bay was mainly based on private military guards.

The navy of Nantai Island did not dare to come out from the mouth of the Minjiang River to fight, and the maritime defense on the Sansha Bay side was not enough.

The advance fleet broke through the defense line of Dongchongkou from dawn, rushed into the bay, and wiped out the remaining enemies in the bay before the middle of the day. A cone of black smoke rose into the sky, and I don't know how many ships in the bay were set on fire.

The main force of the Nanxi fleet was stationed outside Dongchongkou, and the bows of the ships were all facing outwards, to guard against the Dongmin Naval Division who might come from Nantai Island to aid.

"The southern line needs to capture Jianshan in the shortest time, build a beacon outpost, block the Jianjiang Peninsula, and intercept reinforcements from Luoyuan and Jiaocheng; Then attack the two towns of Xiahu and Dongchong, and the order must not be mistaken..." Zhao Qingshan was the main general of the southern army, and the infantry was led by Han Caizhi, but he was still controlled by Zhao Qingshan.

After the warships have cleared the remaining enemies in the bay, the infantry battalion can land anywhere on the coastline of the inner bay, which is nearly 200 miles away from Sansha Bay, but several strategic points still need to be occupied by heavy troops. After controlling these points, even if reinforcements come from Jin'an City, the infantry after landing can still withdraw calmly.

"What do you want to add to Zhang Canjun?" Zhao Qingshan instructed the tactical arrangement after the landing of the infantry battalion, and asked Zhang Gou if he had anything to add.

Zhang Gou went south with the fleet as the commander of the Military Intelligence Department, and joined the army as the deputy general of the Nan Raid fleet.

"Staying here won't help much, let me take someone to Jianshan!" Zhang Gou said.

Beacon Fire Sentinel Mountain will be established in Jianshan, and scouts will be released to monitor the situation between Jin'an City and Luoyuan and Jiaocheng. The advance and retreat of the scattered soldiers landing in Sansha Bay will depend on the effective reconnaissance in the direction of Jianshan, and the responsibility is heavy.

If the reinforcements in the direction of Jin'an City were caught off guard, it would be difficult for the landing foot soldiers to control casualties.

Zhao Qingshan wanted to stay in Dongchongkou to command the water battalion, Han Caizhi wanted to command the foot battalion to land, and Zhang Gousui took the initiative to ask to go to Jianshan...

Zhao Qingshan nodded in agreement with Zhang Gou's request to fight. This time, there were only three battalions of infantry soldiers who accompanied the fleet southward. Although they were going to attack the eight towns and ports along the Sansha Bay at the same time, Zhao Qingshan still sent Chen Zhuo to lead a battalion of soldiers to follow Zhang Gou. , Chen Zhuo can then lead the Jia soldiers to move along the two lines of Jianshan.

The governor of Zhejiang and Fujian has an outpost in Jianshan, and it is also one of the only two beacon outposts set up by the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian on the coast of Sanshawan, with 30 beacon soldiers stationed.

There was almost no resistance to the landing. The defenses of the coastal towns and ports were mainly private soldiers, and a small number of Zhejiang and Fujian rebels were concentrated in the three cities of Xiapu, Jiaocheng and Luoyuan.

There was almost no resistance to the landing, and the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels with limited strength could not establish any effective beach defense on the nearly two-hundred-mile coastline.

The main force of the soldiers who landed on the shore stood at the foot of the mountain to guard against the reinforcements from Zhejiang and Fujian on both sides. Zhang Gou and Chen Zhuo personally led a sentry of the armored soldiers to brave the arrows of the enemy soldiers from the front and forcibly climbed the Jianshan Mountain, which was only more than 20 feet high. Block the enemy soldiers in the outpost.

The post was built by taking advantage of the topography of Mount Jian. It was not very high, less than 20 feet in height, and 20 feet in circumference. There was not even the simplest battle hut. There was only a thatched awning on top to protect the beacon guards from the wind and rain.

From the sentry who dived ashore first, we know that apart from more than 30 civilians, the Jianshan Sentinel Fort had no more reinforcements before, and seven or eight people were killed when climbing the mountain. They're still some junkies.

Chen Zhe liked to be straightforward, and besides, they had to lay down this post first, so that Han Caizhi could command more infantry to land on the shore and attack the towns along the Sansha Bay, and the time was pressing.

"Light the awning on the outpost, suppress the guards with bows and crossbows, and then send three teams of armored soldiers to attack from three sides!" Chen Zhu squatted behind the big shield and discussed with Zhang Gou how to set up the outpost.

"..." Zhang Gou didn't object to Chen Zhe's tactics, and asked him to arrange it, but he felt a little emotional about the simplicity of the Jianshan outpost.

From here you can also see the embarrassment of the luxury family. In the ten years of the East Fujian War, although Bamin was able to maintain an undefeated situation, he was already weak inside. After the luxury family occupied eastern Zhejiang, the resources plundered from eastern and southern Zhejiang were mainly used to support the fronts of eastern and western Zhejiang, and the hinterland of Jin'an did not get many opportunities to recuperate.

Chen Zhuo and his soldiers quickly knocked down the outpost.

Although most of those guarding the post were miscellaneous soldiers, they would not be able to avoid casualties if they attacked with arrows and stones.

Organized people to send the wounded soldiers to the ship. Chen Zhu led the main force of the soldiers to attack Zhangwan Town in the north. Zhang Gou led a guard of soldiers to guard Jianshan. He climbed to the commanding heights of the Jianjiang Peninsula. It smells of burnt grass.

Looking at the surrounding terrain, Zhang Gou could see Sansha Bay more intuitively than on the map, and he could better understand why the lord personally set the focus of this southward attack on Sansha Bay. They even did not hesitate to attack Pingtan Island and Dong'an Island on both sides of the north and south last night to distract the luxury family.

The goods plundered by the East China Sea pirates from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jianghuai were once dumped in Sansha Bay, and the pirates spent a lot of money in Sansha Bay. In the later period, many pirate chiefs handed over their troops and bought land and built houses in Sansha Bay. , All of these caused the abnormal prosperity of the towns and ports along the Sansha Bay.

Also, because the pirates dumped the plundered goods in Sansha Bay, it was extremely cheap, and the pirates' indulgence and enjoyment of life also brought great business opportunities. However, these trade and business opportunities are almost all monopolized by the Baxing family, and Sanshawan also gathers many industries of the Baxing family.

The pirates who wash their hands and settle in the towns and ports of Sanshawan are almost the most conscious of the sea trade in eastern Fujian.

After the East China Sea pirate forces Jingping, the entire coastal area of ​​eastern Fujian, except for the maritime trade monopolized by the Governor's Office of Zhejiang and Fujian, almost all other sea-going ships connecting with the Haidong and Nanyang regions were sent from Sansha Bay.

The potential of Dongmin to develop maritime power, such as shipyards, is directly controlled by the luxury family, and it is concentrated in the vicinity of Jin'an City within the mouth of the Minjiang River; while the potential for private development of maritime power is mainly concentrated in Sansha. b.

Like Huaidong, the Guanyintan Shipyard, which seems to be controlled by the Huaidong Military Division, more directly represents the potential of Huaidong to develop maritime power. However, Huaidong actually paid more attention to the promotion of the maritime power group that moved to the south, and actively allowed the Zhou and Sun clans to enter the core circle of the Huaidong power.

Obviously, the luxury family has not deeply realized this, let alone actively guide the development of Sanshawan. The surrounding defenses are also more concentrated in Luoyuan, Jiaocheng and other cities in the inner line. Except for scattered private soldiers, there is almost no decent defense on the periphery of Sansha Bay.

Since the attack on the mouth of the Minjiang River yesterday afternoon, the She family has not realized that Sansha Bay is the focus of this southern attack in Huaidong.

Huaidong's southward attack had a clear goal and a detailed plan. There was no hope of breaking through from the mouth of the Minjiang River to harass Jin'an City, and there was no plan to break the city, but Sanshawan must be crippled at all costs.

In Chongzhou, a detailed Sanshawan battle plan was formulated. Perhaps the topographic map of the east coast of Fujian in the hands of Huaidong is more detailed than that in the hands of the Zhejiang and Fujian rebels. In addition to the identification of the properties of the Bamin family in the towns and ports of Sanshawan, those former East Sea bandit leaders who settled in Sanshawan and their properties will also be the key targets of this southern attack.

After occupying the Jianshan outpost, the landing guards seized the entire mountain from Xiapu into the Dongchong Peninsula on the northern line. Han Caizhi first concentrated his forces to attack Zhangwan, Shajiang, Sandu and other towns between Jianshan and Dongchong. port. After nightfall, Jiazu on the southern line retreated to Jianshan and attacked the two towns of Feiluan and Kengyuan on the Jiandong Peninsula. The Jiazu on the northern line retreated from the whole mountain into Dongchong Peninsula and attacked the towns of Xiahu and Dongchong...

Along the coast of Sansha Bay, the Yantian fire continued all night.

War has always been **** and cruel. In fact, for the residents along the Sansha Bay, the Huaidong Army is undoubtedly the enemy of the invasion, and a large number of people are fighting fiercely under the organization of the clan leaders.

If there is resistance, it will be killed, and the cruel scorched earth policy must also be resolutely implemented. At the end, there is no time to distinguish which are the planned targets and which may be innocent civilians. As long as it's a decent-looking house, any general who has enough troops will send someone to fight it.

The role of military commanders is more to maintain basic military discipline, prevent rape/prostitution and indiscriminate killings, ensure that generals will not recklessly attack unarmed civilians, and avoid attacks that are too scattered.

It was not until morning that the sentry reported that Jin'an City had a large group of infantry coming here, and Zhang Gou, as a deputy general to join the army, sent someone to order the landing generals to gather along the coast and prepare to retreat; all those that could not be transported away in time were sent. The seized materials were taken by the poor in Sanshawan.

When the reinforcements from Jin'an City were still four or five miles away from Jianshan, Zhang Goucai led the soldiers who last stood guarding the Jianshan outpost to retreat to the sea. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
