Liu Daogui's eyes flashed coldly, his expression became determined, and he said in a deep voice: "Despite these difficulties, we still have to try our best. In order to ensure contingency in times of war, I will personally lead the fleet to fight. If there is any
If there is a chance, use the pheasant tail torch to attack the enemy's giant ship. If there is no chance, then at least burn all the enemy's escort fleet to let the monster thieves know that we have a weapon for water warfare and dare not attack Jiangling City easily.
.”
Lu Zongzhi said solemnly: "If we cannot destroy the enemy's giant ship, what will we do in the future?"
Liu Daogui sighed: "Let's play it by ear. First, prevent the enemy from seizing Jiangling. Then we will see if there is a chance to send troops from Wuling County on land to attack Changsha and Baling. If the enemy knows that we have Pheasant Tail Ju, we are specially designed to deal with it."
The artifacts of the giant ships would not dare to easily fight us on the river. Without the giant ships, we can completely seize partial control of the river. As long as we can transport 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and horses to Wuling, then Aji will have an attack.
With the current strength of the demon thieves, it is still difficult to resist our troops on land."
Lu Zongzhi gritted his teeth: "What are you going to do if you find out that the two enemy leaders are not here?"
Liu Daogui nodded: "If the two thieves Lu and Xu are here, we can protect Jiangling and prevent the enemy from capturing it. If the two thieves are not here, then they will go to fight Brother Xile. What we have to do is
Take the initiative and do everything possible to hold back the supply and naval fleet of the demon thieves. No matter what choice we make, we must fight this battle. The giant ships of the demon thieves are also the ships they escape into the sea. Destroy these giant ships.
If they want to escape into the sea, it will not be easy."
Cai Lunzhi said sternly: "Since we have made up our mind to conquer the west, we have no choice but to obey. According to your arrangement, I will lead the Huanglong fleet to break out of the encirclement at that time. However, if we go out in separate groups, we can only count on you to conquer the west. Where is the water ghost team?"
, Captain Cai Qizhi is my biological brother and is proficient in water-based skills. The more than 200 team members are also veterans of the Chu army who have experienced water battles for a long time. They will definitely not let you down."
Liu Daogui stood up and said in a deep voice: "In that case, we will split up immediately and attack tomorrow!"
Having said this, he drew out his sword, pointed it to the sky, and said sternly: "God bless the Jin Dynasty, help us defeat the demon thieves."
All the generals raised their swords to the sky and said in unison: "God bless the Jin Dynasty!"
The next day, at noon, on the river outside Jiangling.
Zhu Chaoshi's expression was calm as he sat on the command platform of the giant ship "Tianshi". The five-story high deck made him feel like sitting on a high hill and command platform on land within a radius of ten miles.
You can have a panoramic view of all the scenery on the river and on land. Side by side with the Tianshi across the river, there are three giant ships of about the same size. Together, they look like four small fortresses floating on the river.
, together with the more than 200 large and small warships beside these four giant ships, it almost feels like the river is being cut off.
Wearing a black robe, a bronze mask, and a long staff made of willow wood, he stood beside Zhu Chaoshi. The river wind blew by, blowing his gray beard up, and he coughed lightly.
With a voice, he said: "General Zhu, all the beacon towers along the river have been uprooted and captured, and the fleets of General Ying and General Fan have also sailed to the vicinity of Ma Tou Ferry and Wulin Ferry. The attack should have begun now. Press
Was your original plan to prepare for a decisive battle with the enemy fleet?"
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "Everything has been arranged in place, but now I feel that things may have changed. Vaguely, I feel that the enemy is not coming out to fight us, but has other plans."
A trace of surprise flashed in the black robe's eyes: "What do you mean by this? The enemy troops don't come out to fight? Are our water armies so scared that they don't dare to fight?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "I didn't say that, but when Liu Daogui saw the strength of our army, he shouldn't take the initiative to come and die. When our army first arrived yesterday, it was his best opportunity to attack, but he missed it. Yesterday, when our army first arrived, it was his best chance to attack."
If he doesn’t fight, I don’t think he will fight today, so he only has two choices left.”
The black robe laughed: "Which two choices? Does defending Jiangling count as one?"
Zhu Chaoshi shook his head: "No, I think this is just waiting for death. Our army's giant ships are so huge. If they are spread out on the water to fight, their water stronghold will definitely be broken. And the more than 200 Huanglong warships inside,
It will become a fixed water fortification, and we will defeat it one by one. If I were Liu Daogui, I would not choose to be beaten passively like this, but would find a way to let these warships break out and move in the direction of Wuling."
The black robe nodded: "It sounds quite reasonable, but what can these warships do when they go to Wuling? The water stronghold in Jiangling can't protect this fleet, let alone Wuling."
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. Going to Wuling is not to escape for one's life, but to cross Chencang secretly. Before our army completely blocks the river, transport tens of thousands of reinforcements, ordnance, and grain and grass to Wuling, and let Tan Zhi
, even if Liu Daogui goes to Wuling in person, there is a possibility of attacking Changsha County from land."
The face of the black robe changed: "Is there still such a thing? Are they crazy? If we divide our troops from Jiangling to Wuling, do we still need Jiangling?"
Zhu Chaoshi waved his hand: "Jiangling City is strong, they don't need too many troops to hold it, and if the Huanglong warship stays in the water stronghold, it is actively waiting to die. If Liu Daogui didn't attack yesterday, he will definitely break through in the next two days.
Transfer, this is his first choice."
"As for the second option, it also needs to be completed on the basis of clearing the Huanglong warships in Jiangling Water City. That is to lure our giant ships into the water stronghold, and then rely on the giant ships to attack the city. In this way
Come, the enemy can take advantage of Jiangling's strong city walls and height to attack our giant ships. This is the tactic to lure our army deep into the city and annihilate it."
The black robe laughed: "You are still thoughtful. So, no matter what kind of tactics the enemy uses, the Huanglong war fleet will be launched. How are you going to deal with it?"
Zhu Chaoshi pondered for a moment and said: "There are now 230 large and small warships guarding the giant ship. Their speed can keep up with the enemy's Huanglong fleet. Now General Ying and General Fan are not here, and Commander Yao
Still lurking under the water, I am too busy here and can't control you brothers. I'm afraid I can only ask your envoy to come forward and use the token in your hand to command the 180 warships escorting the fleet and head west to prepare for the head-on.
Intercept the enemy's breakout troops."
