The mouth of the Hoi An River is the port closest to the royal capital of Linyi. A few years ago, Wang Shi's merchant ship was detained at Hoi An Port.
The river became deeper and wider as it went east, and there were hundreds of troops garrisoned at the port. Ou Jin suddenly felt that he was very lucky, and Lan Yuan actually ran to the dead end.
Ou Jin plans to seize Lan Yuan to negotiate with Lan Tian. Shi Xie has been willing to spend money for a businessman these years. As a Jiaozhou pastor, Lan Tian should be willing to spend money for his son. No matter whether he asks for soldiers, horses, money or food, he will have everything he needs. Then there will be a big fight. The wealth flowed into Linyi.
Thinking of this, Ou Jin felt that his body was light and light, and the pony under him also became stronger.
When he was about to arrive at the port, several elephants that were chasing him suddenly ran back, and General Fante, the spirit snake, waved wildly at Ou Jin.
"Did you catch it?" Ou Jin was overjoyed and urged his horse forward.
Unexpectedly, the war elephant ran back as if out of control. Several of Ou Jin's guards were unable to evade and were knocked off their horses by the running elephant. One of them was directly trampled into a pulp, which made Ou Jin's fat body tremble with fear.
Fan Xi, who arrived at this time, controlled and calmed the mad elephant, and then brought his brother Fan Te to see Ou Jin.
"The war elephant was frightened and ran wildly. I accidentally injured your guard. Please punish me." Brother Fan clasped his fists in apology.
Was he accidentally injured after being trampled into mud by an elephant? Ou Jin had to rely on the Fan brothers at this time, so he did not dare and could not blame him. He comforted the two and said: "Elephants are always beasts, and it is normal to be disobedient occasionally, but haven't these dozens of animals been trained well? Why are they still doing this? Will something go out of control?"
"Brother, it's up to you to speak." Fan Xi nodded.
Fant nodded and clasped his fists and replied: "Actually, beasts are just like people. They are afraid of unknown things, and they are even more afraid of large ones. We just saw dozens of giant ships at Hoi An port, and they moved like mountains and islands. , the war elephants lost control because of fear..."
"When will there be a sea ship in Hoi An Port..." When Ou Jin said to himself, his eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed: "Is it a sea ship from Jiaozhou? Has the port fallen?"
Fant nodded and smiled bitterly: "It seems that there are hundreds of ships, several times larger than the previous Guangzhou merchant ships. The loss of the port is certain..."
Ou Jin patted his forehead and said, "I finally know why the four northern cities were indifferent. These cunning Han troops came from the sea. They now have such powerful ships. Lin Yi has encountered the biggest crisis since the founding of the country."
"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. With the general's war elephant army here, we can ensure that the Linyi Kingdom will continue." Fan Xi patted his chest and confirmed.
"Well said, I have an elephant army in Linyi that is not found in the Central Plains. As long as we maintain and expand the scale of the elephant army, we may not be afraid of the Han people who come from afar. However, you must send charioteers to ride on the backs of elephants to command, otherwise If you see something strange and get confused, it will greatly affect our march." Ou Jin reminded kindly.
"I will obey your orders." Fan Xi clasped his fists.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Fant asked with a curious frown.
Ou Jin pinched the bridge of his nose and thought deeply. The main force of the Han army was driven to the north of the Hoi An River. The commander of the Han army was huddled in Hoi An Port. It should be impossible to capture him alive.
Just when District Company was frowning, the scout promptly sent a battle report: "Report to your Majesty that the Han army crossed the Hoi An River and fled north for more than ten miles, and finally set up camp on the rocky beach."
"God is really helping me. If the main force of the Han army moves towards the Hoi An River Port and merges with the huge warships in Jiaozhou, even if it cannot defeat our war elephants in the end, it can still escape the battlefield through sea ships, but there is no chance now. , I’m just not familiar with the terrain, hahaha..." Ou Lian laughed wildly.
Fant looked excited, and he added with a smile: "A few dozen miles north of Hoi'an Port, the seafront is full of cliffs. Han Chinese ships can't even try to pick them up. If our army can get through Hoi'an now, An Giang blocked the land passage between Hoi An Port and the rocky beach, and the main force of the Han army could only be forced to withdraw to Nan Heng Mountain, and the narrow valley mouth of Nan Heng Mountain was more suitable for elephants to crush..."
"Hahaha, the heroes have the same idea. They immediately went to send orders to cross the river. In addition, they camped on the rocky beach. Doesn't General Ling Snake intend to show his hand?" Ou Lian smiled knowingly.
"I will obey your orders." Vante nodded with his fists clasped.
Ou Jin left 200 people to monitor on the south bank, and personally led the last 3,000 elite Zhan people to cross the river at dusk and move to a predetermined position to camp against the water.
At night, the lights in the big tent on the rocky beach were brightly lit. Lan Yuan took advantage of the interval when the Cham people were crossing the river and arrived at the north bank by boat. When he was at the port, he thought of a way to repel the Cham people's war elephants. Yu Fan also arrived from Lu Rong. When they came to join forces at the rocky beach, he also brought strategies to defeat the enemy.
After everyone in the military tent had finished deliberation, they all had knowing smiles on their faces. Suddenly, the scouts brought back information about the people crossing the river.
Lan Yuan patted the case and said happily: "The Zhan people do not know the art of war and are arrayed against the water. They are simply seeking death. Tomorrow I will capture the district company alive to repay the humiliation of being driven away by elephants today."
Gao Shun smiled and joked: "If Boyang had not gone to the port, he would not have come up with a strategy to defeat the enemy. It is not a bad thing to be chased by an elephant this time..."
"Even if I can't figure it out, doesn't Governor Yu have a way?" Lan Yuan shook his head gently.
Yu Fan held up his hands and said modestly: "Young General, this is a great award, I am just the icing on the cake..."
"Wait a minute, I remember that the Marquis of Huaiyin once won a great victory against all odds. Why did Boyang say that Zhan people don't understand the art of war..." Gao Ling suddenly reacted.
Lan Yuan explained with a smile: "My father once told me in detail about a last-ditch battle. This strategy used by the Marquis of Huaiyin is actually very dangerous. In addition, there are also tricks to lure the enemy deeper, encourage the enemy, change flags, and attack from two sides... 'The ultimate victory is due to the right time, location, and people. To use a last-ditch battle alone is to seek death."
Gao Ling looked confused and murmured: "So that's how it is..."
Gao Shun frowned, "The art of war is a dead thing, and it must be used flexibly in specific situations. How can you be so sure about dead things? You will study hard with Boyang in the future. I don't want my son to be a reckless man..."
"I know." Gao Ling's cheeks turned red after being criticized, and he said to himself that I haven't received the crown ceremony yet, and I'm not a military commander.
"There will be a tough battle tomorrow. Let's go back to the camp to rest first. We must get up and prepare at dawn. Yuanfeng (Gaoling), you stay in the main tent. I have something to discuss with you." Upon seeing this, Lan Yuan came to Gaoling's rescue.
"Wei." The generals clasped their fists and left.
Everyone gradually left, Lan Yuan comforted Gao Ling for a few words, and then pulled Gao Ling to sleep.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a strong night wind on the quiet rocky beach, and the sound of the wind seemed to contain the sound of musical instruments. Lan Yuan and Gao Ling sat up almost at the same time.
"There seems to be some movement outside the camp. I have to go to each camp to take a look." Lan Yuan frowned.
"There is indeed something wrong with the news tonight. Boyang, please wait in the tent, or I will patrol the camp on your behalf." Gao Ling held down Lan Yuan's calf and stood up like a carp.
Gao Ling took off his sword from the wall of the big tent and suddenly felt something alive at his feet.
Hiss...
"There are snakes."
A flash of cold light suddenly appeared, Gao Ling shouted, drew his sword, and swung the green snake at his feet into two parts.
