Lu Zongzhi frowned and said: "That means that our army's Huanglong warships still have to divide their forces? We just use dozens of warships to divert the enemy's fleet first, and then use the remaining warships to
It’s a giant eight-stern ship that directly attacks the enemy, right?”
Liu Daogui nodded firmly: "That's it. Next, we have to discuss a top-secret battle plan. General Lu, you and the young master, Daoji, Yanzhi, and Zunkao are staying. In addition, the navy commander Cai Lunzhi
Please stay too."
After a sound of leaves colliding, only a few people were left in the Chinese Army Commander's Mansion, which was crowded just now. Apart from Liu Daogui, Lu Zong's father and son were generals of the Yongzhou Army, Tan Daoji and another man in his twenties, who was Liu Daoji.
Liu Zunkao, nephew of the Yu clan, was a general in the Beifu Army, while Cai Lunzhi, commander of the navy, was a native of Jingzhou and had served in the Huanchu Army for many years.
It was precisely because of Liu Daogui's trust in Jiangling's scholars and his act of burning trust in Kaicheng last time that he moved these old troops who originally loved Huanchu.
Therefore, in the past half year or so, the foreign Beifu Army and the local Jingzhou powerful people have worked together to make great efforts in the procurement of ordnance and the construction of warships, and have achieved visible results. Since the Three Kingdoms, more than two hundred years ago
The blood feud between Jing and Yang actually became harmonious again in the past few years. It can only be said that Liu Daogui has really made a great contribution.
Cai Lunzhi originally wanted to turn around and leave with the other generals, but after hearing these last words, he stayed. When everyone was gone, he smiled slightly: "Zhengxi, if it is a military secret trader, it should not be a turn.
As for the last general, so many senior generals of the Beifu Army have not been left, I..."
Liu Daogui smiled and waved his hand: "The people here are all soldiers of the Jin Dynasty. There is no distinction between the Beifu Army, Yongzhou Army, and Jingzhou Army. If the demon thieves get their hands on it, all of us will probably become corpses by then.
Extravagant hope, it is more likely that they will chop it up and eat it, turn it into poop and poop it out."
There was a burst of laughter in the house. Unexpectedly, Liu Daogui, who was always modest on the surface, but had the power of a general, could joke like this when he was young. However, after learning about the various "good deeds" of Tianshi Dao,
, everyone couldn’t laugh anymore, because it was a living, bloody and tragic past. Even Cai Lunzhi, who lived in Jingzhou, had relatives who suffered such a tragedy when Xiangzhou fell. When he thought of this, he
He also began to gnash his teeth, clenched his fists, and said bitterly: "These damn devils should all go to the eighteenth level of hell and never be reincarnated."
Although Buddhism has only entered the Central Plains for more than a hundred years in this era, the concepts of hell, heaven, gods, Buddhas and devils have also been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Indeed, demons and thieves are in the hearts of everyone, that is, they walk in the world and do all kinds of evil.
The devil, while relying on this method of terror to scare anyone in the occupied areas from resisting, will also inspire the determination and courage of the unconquered soldiers and civilians to fight to the death. It is precisely with this determination and courage that
At this time, Jingzhou's military and civilians were so united and united that they persisted until now.
Liu Daogui put away his smile and said sternly: "We are facing a powerful enemy, so I won't say anything more. We are still here alive and breathing because we are united, regardless of each other. Commander Cai, as well as those inside and outside Jiangling City, Jingzhou
The support of local wealthy families, wealthy families, and ordinary people has allowed us to have a large-scale naval force in the past six months. I am not good at water warfare, so before I make a decision, I must ask Commander Cai clearly.
, what is the true strength of our navy, can we fight head-on with the demon thieves?"
Cai Lunzhi frowned and shook his head: "Zhengxi, at this time, I don't dare to say anything false. Let's put it this way, if there were not those six eight-foot giant ships, with the more than 800 large and small monster thieves,
Although we are still slightly inferior to our warships in terms of strength, as long as they divide their forces to attack our two ferries and there are less than 500 warships in front of them, I am still confident that I can defeat them."
Liu Daogui said with a smile: "Two hundred points versus five hundred points, you still say you are sure, but where do you have the confidence?"
Cai Lunzhi said sternly: "Because our warships are all standard Huanglong warships that can carry about a hundred people. They have a strong hull, a two-story platform, and are also equipped with long-range weapons such as trebuchets and fire crossbows.
Among the 500 warships, there are only about a hundred of this type of Huanglong warship. The others are mostly fishing boats that were temporarily recruited, and they can only carry more than ten to twenty or thirty people on each boat.
Although it is fast, in a head-on battle, five of them may not be able to defeat one of my Huanglong battleships."
"In addition, the experienced sailors of the demon thieves are also a problem. When Lu and Xu Xin arrived in Guangzhou, the three Wu old thieves who followed them were only more than 10,000 and less than 20,000. These people were not only fierce in combat, but also
I also followed them across the ocean and became proficient in boating. They can control boats and oars just like the northern barbarians control horses. In water warfare, not only the size and equipment of the boat must be considered, but also the ability of the sailors to control the boat.
This is the same as fighting on land, where one elite soldier can be worth a hundred, and how many cavalry can break through a phalanx of a hundred ordinary soldiers."
Liu Daogui nodded: "That's very good. In this way, the boatmen and old thieves of the demon thieves are mostly concentrated on those giant ships, and those on small boats are often people who are not familiar with water.
?”
Cai Lunzhi nodded: "Yes, I have inquired about the situation on these small boats. Many of them are newly attached bandits, surrendered troops and the like. Even the newly attached people often look for those who are thin and weak.
The downtrodden people who cannot bear to fight on land board the ship. Except for the boatman and helmsman who are former fishermen from civilian ships and fishing boats, it can be said that the whole ship is mostly landlubbers. When encountering wind and waves, they will vomit endlessly and even get seasick and fall into the river.
This is also the reason why the demon thief's fleet came this time and walked for five full days from Yuzhang to Jiangling. It was because there were too many newbies and could not move forward at full speed. It was not just the reason for these giant ships."
Lu Zongzhi laughed: "In this way, among the demon thieves, this fleet may seem huge, but there are not many that are actually usable. It may only be six giant ships plus more than a hundred Huanglong warships that can fight a battle. Others
It's just a bluff. As long as we have a way to divert the Huanglong warship, there is a chance that we can attack the giant ship directly with only these small boats escorting it, right?"
Cai Lunzhi sighed: "Having said that, the enemy's best sailors are concentrated on the giant ships. There may be one or two thousand old thieves on a giant ship, and this one ship can defeat us thirty or even forty."
There are at least ten or more Huanglong warships. I am afraid that they will be sunk before they get close. If more than four giant warships are surrounded together, it will be equivalent to a floating castle on the sea. Our army has almost no chance of approaching or attacking.
If there is a possibility of conquering the West, I am afraid you will have to find another good strategy."
