But Xu Daofu was getting more and more excited as he talked. Perhaps, being able to talk freely about his genius tactical ideas in front of a real military strategist is the greatest pleasure of being a military strategist. He was not even looking at Zhu Chaoshi, his eyes flashing.
With an excited look on his face, as he spoke faster and faster, various breathy sounds kept coming out of his mouth that was missing a big tooth: "Chao Shi, now you are the best bait, He Wuji
If I see you bringing those surrendered troops from Nankang as the vanguard, I will be angry and happy at the same time. You will be angry because we are enemies, and you will be happy because our army is not strong enough. If you let the surrendered troops be the vanguard, your momentum will definitely be at a disadvantage.
He will definitely hunt you down personally, you just need to fight and retreat, and luring him into our battleship formation will be a great achievement."
Zhu Chaoshi swallowed hard and said: "It seems that it doesn't have to be like this. Our navy has an absolute advantage. It can swarm up and directly defeat He Wuji's fleet. Regardless of the number of his warships or the navy
The quality of our army is not as good as ours, so why bother to lure him to attack like this?"
Xu Daofu smiled and waved his hand: "In this water battle, the most important thing is the wind direction, because in water battles, whether it is the speed of the boat or the range of the arrows, the wind direction is the most important. This is why the Beifu Army is invincible in land battles.
But the reason why we are far inferior to our divine sect in water battles is that our soldiers can stand on the ship without armor, holding swords barefoot, as if they were on the ground, while the Beifu army wore heavy armor, and stood on the warship when the wind and waves rose.
It's difficult to even stand, let alone shoot an arrow or engage in hand-to-hand combat. Our disadvantage in land battles turns into our advantage in water battles."
"This cannot be made up for by courage or martial arts on land. He Wuji is a famous general after all. His navy is used to transport food and grass, and does not expect to actually fight. If I directly use a large fleet to attack
If I want to attack him, he will probably give up the battle directly, and instead abandon the ship and land, and form a camp to defend. If I want to completely wipe out his army, it will be difficult. Although I can prevent him from attacking Nankang, I can't stop He Wu from attacking Nankang.
Ji's main force is wiped out on the river, which is not what I want."
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "Then wouldn't he be suspicious when he saw me taking dozens of boats up the river? Why would he come to pursue me?"
Xu Daofu laughed: "Because I will not give you our divine warship, but will give you some nearby fishing boats, ferries, etc., and your subordinates are also surrendered troops from Nankang and will not be from the divine religion."
The main force, this can be seen at a glance from the level of boat handling, that is to say, only if you personally lead the surrender and drive the small boat can He Wuji fall into the trap and pursue him directly."
Zhu Chaoshi's heart became heavier and heavier, and he gritted his teeth: "However, it is very dangerous for me to do this, and even if it is to lure the enemy, then where is the main formation of my army and how to respond is another problem. He Wuji is not unreasonable.
Those who know how to fight by water, when Huan Chu was defeated, there were many water battles in the area of Sangluo Prefecture, and Huan Chu's navy was defeated. If they really encountered the main fleet of the army, they would probably be the first to respond.
Evacuate or abandon ship and land."
At this point, Zhu Chaoshi paused: "Besides, Marshal, you just said that the wind direction and current are the most important in water warfare. The battlefield is changing rapidly. If the west wind blows by then, it will be conducive to He Wuji's evacuation.
Then wouldn’t our arrangement be a waste of all our efforts?”
Xu Daofu smiled slightly: "Chaoshi, you don't trust the people you employ, and you don't trust the people you doubt. Do you know why I came to you to tell you all about my battle plan? Ordinarily, as a general who is the vanguard of luring the enemy, he cannot tell you.
This is a comprehensive plan. You are also the one leading the troops, so you should know this."
Zhu Chaoshi began to greet Xu Daofu's family members ten thousand times in his heart, but he still opened his eyes wide and looked puzzled: "Commander, I really don't know this. Please enlighten me."
Xu Daofu waved his hand proudly: "Because if you don't inform me of this plan to lure the enemy in advance, it will make you, the general, feel betrayed and abandoned. Even if you win this battle, you will still feel resentful towards me.
We can no longer cooperate. And I told you these things in advance. You know my plan in advance, and also know my trust and expectations for you, so you can make preparations in advance. We have a long future in Japan, and there are many opportunities for cooperation.
"
Zhu Chaoshi frowned slightly: "Commander, I don't know something. I am just a captured general, and even my loyalty is questionable. Why do you value and trust me so much? I am a man who can betray my master and my colleagues."
Is this man worthy of your trust?"
Xu Daofu's eyes flashed coldly: "Let me tell you the truth, I don't have absolute trust in you, but I do have absolute trust, because you turned to the new master twice, first turning your back on Huan Chu, and then
You rebelled against Beifu, but in the original army, you tried your best to the end and did not surrender voluntarily. It can be said that you are a very good professional soldier and can do your best wherever you go. And your military ability is now the highest in the divine religion.
It is urgently needed. Now that you have taken the talisman water, it is impossible to return to Beifu. Is there any other way out besides serving the divine religion? Therefore, I do not doubt you."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "But didn't the commander-in-chief just say that he doesn't fully trust me, so this kind of luring the enemy..."
Xu Daofu shook his head: "You are not a long-term disciple of the divine religion, and you can't even be called a true believer now. Although you have gone through various rituals, compared with those who have lived and died with me for more than ten years,
Compared with my old subordinates who have traveled thousands of miles from Wu to Lingnan through hardships, I cannot believe in you more than they do. This is human nature, and you are a smart person, so you should know it."
Zhu Chaoshi said in a deep voice: "Of course I know, and I don't expect to be compared with the elders in the divine sect such as General Fan and General Xia. It's just that if you use me like this, are you letting the surrendered troops perform a fatal mission?
The enemy is trying to consume me. If I am allowed to die openly, aren't you afraid that I will defect again or betray you on the battlefield?"
Xu Daofu smiled and said: "If you are asked to die and carry out the mission of a dead soldier, then why should I tell you these things again? To tell you the truth, in this battle, all your subordinates are those who surrendered to Nankang.
You can give up, but for you, I need you to live well!"
Zhu Chaoshi frowned: "What do you mean by this?"
A cold light flashed in Xu Daofu's eyes: "During the battle, you rush in front first so that He Wuji can recognize you, and you have to pretend to be panicked, as if you are planning a sneak attack, because, we
You have to act like you are leading a fishing boat to sneak attack on Yuzhang, as if He Wuji will not go south with the navy during the dry season. If you are suddenly encountered, you will run away all the way. Only in this way can He Wuji be lured into taking the bait.
