Lu Gui smiled so hard that the flesh on his face trembled. He suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, he put away his smile, and said: "Commander, tell me, why have we stood still here for so long?
"
Liu Daogui's expression was calm, and he gently raised the corners of his mouth: "Xiang Tooth, you are also a famous general who has experienced hundreds of battles. From what you see now, why am I doing this?"
Lu Gui nodded and said: "Because of the sudden change in the situation just now, dozens of Qianlong warships suddenly surfaced underwater and hit their own escort fleet. That's why such a huge wave hit us.
Although the Huanglong war fleet was farther away and was not affected so much, it still suffered some losses, especially since we were going to use fire attack this time. Many pheasant tail torches were soaked in water. I don’t know.
Whether it can still be used, so now we have to quickly inventory the equipment before we can decide our next move."
Liu Daogui nodded: "This is one reason, but there is also a more important reason, which is that I need to wait and see the subsequent changes in the enemy's army. Elephant Tooth, what do you think is the reason for the drastic changes that occurred in the front?"
As soon as Lu Gui heard this, he couldn't help but clasped his hands and laughed: "This is God's gift. He has finally come to deal with these monster thieves. Their Qianlong warship should have been sent out on guard, but for some reason, maybe
There was something wrong with the response of the signal, and suddenly the entire fleet floated up, just in time to hit the advancing escort fleet. Alas, it was a pity. If it had been just a moment later, the giant ship behind could have been hit.
We will win this battle without fighting."
Liu Daogui nodded, turned to look at Yanzhi on the other side, and smiled slightly: "Brother Yanzhi, what do you think?"
Until Yanzhi frowned slightly and stared at the river a few hundred steps away, he murmured: "I saw a lot of thick hemp ropes, but they were obviously cut off by sharp blades, and there was also some water.
Ghost corpses, from this point of view, these Qianlong warships probably did not suddenly surface, but received a signal and were seen by the underwater water ghosts, cut off the hemp ropes, and suddenly surfaced."
Having said this, he pointed to the wreckage of a half-section of the Qianlong warship that was floating on the river, as well as the corpses of the swordsmen in the warship, who were neatly dressed in leather armor and fully armed, and said:
"Look at this Qianlong warship. The hatch is completely sealed. The people inside are ready for hand-to-hand combat. In other words, they have no idea what's going on outside. Whether it sinks or floats is all decided by the outside.
The water ghost decides."
Lu Gui's eyes widened and he nodded: "It's exactly what Yanzhi said. These Qianlong warships were sealed and fixed at the bottom of the river, and then suddenly floated up. In other words, these water ghosts cut off the bottom of the river.
Fix the rope and let the Qianlong warship suddenly float?"
To Yanzhi took a deep breath: "Yes, that's my judgment. And when we came up just now, do you still remember? It was those four giant ships that suddenly lit up their lights, and above the river, it was like daylight for an instant.
In a moment, almost at the same time, these Qianlong warships emerged from the water. I thought that if there was really any signal, it would probably be the lights on these giant ships as a signal."
Lu Gui kept nodding his head, but when he heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "So, someone on the giant ship ordered the fire, because our Huanglong warship attacked, and the enemy mistakenly thought we were..."
Having said this, he shook his head: "No, no, we have been out for a while, and the enemy warships have also moved forward as a whole, especially the four giant ships. If you want this Qianlong warship to get out of the water,
The order should have been issued long ago, why wait until now?"
To Yanzhi said sternly: "Yes, what Xiang Tuo said is absolutely true, and as an ambush, it should be a battle between the two sides. When the outcome is not decided, they suddenly rush out from behind the enemy and take advantage of the enemy's unstable morale.
, attacking from both sides can severely defeat the enemy, just like the battle of Sangluozhou that symbolized the death of Nan Zhan. The demon thieves have always been scheming, ambushing, luring the enemy, and using roundabout tactics at a very high level. How could such a serious mistake happen this time?
I think the only explanation is..."
Lu Gui added without hesitation: "It was our internal agents in the enemy army who deliberately caused them to make such a big mistake. Commander, who is this person? Did you set it up?"
Liu Daogui smiled slightly: "If I had the ability to place people who can give such military orders among the enemy's army, I would not know anything about the enemy's situation, and I would have to discuss what happened before.
"
Having said this, Liu Daogui took a deep breath: "If what I expected is correct, it is Xiao Shi Shi and Chao Shi who are secretly helping us. I just assumed a lot, but after thinking about it, this is the only explanation.
As the enemy's commander, he can issue such an order at this time, and he can also use the attack on our army as a cover to lure the enemy's Qianlong fleet to float up and collide with each other on the way to achieve such a result."
Yanzhi frowned: "Could it be that Zhu Chaoshi just pretended to surrender to the enemy? He just endured the humiliation for today's battle? If your guess is correct, Brother Daogui, then Zhu Chaoshi is definitely a hero to all of us, not a traitor.
"
Liu Daogui sighed: "Whether he is a traitor or a hero, it doesn't matter now. Even if he does not betray and surrender to the enemy as we hope, if he gives such an order now, it will probably be more dangerous than a demon thief.
We won't tolerate him, I'm afraid that he has been cut into pieces now, we are not the time to consider this matter, the four giant ships still exist, we can only rely on our own strength to destroy them!"
Lu Gui gritted his teeth: "In that case, what are we waiting for? Why not take advantage of this great opportunity to rush over and burn the giant ship while the enemy is in chaos?"
Liu Daogui's eyes flashed coldly: "Although the four giant ships were hit by huge waves just now, they still withstood the impact because of the chain of iron cables and the connected ship boards. However, I suddenly realized that this might be
Zhu Chaoshi gave us greater help."
Yanzhi suddenly shouted: "Yes, giant ships are slow to move, and if they are connected together, they are natural targets for fire attacks. Although the west wind is strong now, we still have a chance to rush over and burn the enemy."
Ship! Let’s do it, Brother Daogui!”
Liu Daogui shook his head: "It's not the time yet, I'm just waiting for the last opportunity, it's coming soon!"
There was another surge of river waves, and the pieces of wood and floating corpses that had been rushing towards the thirty Yellow Dragon warships suddenly began to flow rapidly in the direction of the giant ships in the south. Under the river water, a dark wave visible to the naked eye came from the north.
South, go straight to the south bank.
Liu Daogui looked up to the sky and roared: "God help me, the river flows south, beat the drum and charge!"
