As soon as these words came out, everyone's face changed color, Lu Gui shook his head in disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible, Liu Xile is a famous general in the world, a hero who personally led the troops to defeat Huan Chu. Many people even think that his use of troops is...
Not under Brother Jinu, the demon thieves have been defeated by him for many years. They have been unable to break through the front of Liu Xile's Yuzhou legion since they raised their troops for a year. How is it possible that this time, without the giant ship, they can succeed?"
Liu Daogui sighed softly: "If Brother Xile refuses to leave, and has been stalemate with the demon thieves in the Xunyang area of Anqing, with the water stronghold as a supplement and blocking the land, it will be very difficult for the demon thieves to break through.
In the past year, Xiao Shitou, you have also fought against Brother Huaiyu's Yuzhou Pioneer many times, so you should know this very well."
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "Yes, although I deliberately want to consume the strength of the demon thieves and sometimes let them die, I have to say that the roads in that area are difficult to travel and there are many mountains. And among these mountains, there are
There are many barbarian tribes living there, diseases are common, and ferocious beasts are rampant. It is very difficult even for thousands of troops to cross this place. As long as the front road is blocked and the naval warships are prevented from rushing directly along the river, even if they send slaves
Even if I personally lead the troops eastward, it will be extremely difficult to break through."
Lu Gui's face turned relaxed and he said with a smile: "Look, what I said is right. Little Shitou also means the same thing. It is impossible for the demon thief to break through. That is just false news deliberately spread by the black robe. He wants to stimulate people."
You are here to fight to the death. As for the ten days of no contact, I am afraid it is because of our previous contact information. For example, the letter bird was intercepted by the demon thief, and we will retrain a batch later, and treat it as nothing serious."
Liu Daogui shook his head and looked at Tan Daoji: "Daoji, what do you think?"
Tan Daoji sighed: "I'm afraid things are not as simple as Xiang Tu said. In the past year, even when the Jiangzhou Army was destroyed and Brother Wuji died in the battle, we did not cut off the contact with Brother Xile, but this
He replied, but was suddenly interrupted, and his last letter to us clearly used code words to ask us to be prepared to cut off the return of the demon thief, so..."
Lu Gui's expression changed: "So, what you mean is that Brother Xile took the initiative and then deliberately broke off contact with us in order to keep it secret?"
Tan Daoji nodded: "I'm afraid this is the only explanation. In addition to the main beacon channel, our contact with Yuzhou also has a backup beacon. Even if we don't receive news for a day, we will use the backup beacon to confirm. But
This time, our backup messenger bird is gone and will never come back. No matter how powerful the demon thief is, it is impossible for him to crack two sets of our contact information in a row. Therefore, it is only possible that Brother Xile took the initiative to cut off the contact with us. He wants to
What we did was the secret message in the last letter, which asked us to take the initiative and cut off the enemy's retreat."
Lu Gui murmured to himself: "Cut the enemy's retreat, block the enemy's retreat. This time we plan to transport troops to Wuling, and then attack Changsha and Baling from the land. Is this how to block the enemy's retreat?"
Liu Daogui said sternly: "Yes, before the monster thief's giant fleet came, I was planning to attack Changsha directly. Even if it weren't for this coded letter from Brother Xile, I would have thought of heading west to Baidi City first.
, defeat Qiao Shu’s army, completely eliminate the threat to the west, and also open up the connection with Wuling County, so that we don’t have to worry about being flanked by both sides, and only need to deal with the demon thieves from one direction.”
"But because Brother Xile said this, I can only cooperate with his actions and attack Changsha first to cut off the connection between the demon thieves' front army and their rear base. Even when their giant ship arrived, I did not give up this plan. It was just
We want to transfer troops and horses to Wuling and attack in a roundabout way from the land. Of course, with the help of Xiao Shitou, we successfully eliminated the main force of the navy of the demon thieves this time, which can be regarded as an unexpected surprise."
Having said this, Liu Daogui sighed: "Unfortunately, it has been more than ten days since we received this letter. This means that Brother Xile may have taken the lead. He wants us to send troops to cut off the enemy's retreat, but regardless of
Whether we send troops or not, he will act on his own. Starting from cutting off contact with us, it should be because he does not want to expose his location. In other words, he should take the initiative to attack the demon thief's frontline camp in the Yuzhang area.
It will be like this."
Tan Daoji's brows furrowed: "The strength of the Yuzhou Legion is equivalent to that of the demon thieves. It is insufficient in offense but sufficient in defense. How could he think of taking the initiative to attack at this time?"
Fu Hongzhi sighed: "I'm afraid that Brother Xile was stimulated by Brother Jinu's great victory in Nanyan. He saw that Brother Jinu was about to return to the army in triumph, and even presided over the battle to pacify the demon thieves again.
At that time, Brother Xile's achievements for a year will become insignificant, and Brother Jinu will be completely suppressed. Even the young marshals who have made great contributions in Guanggu this time and are responsible for their own affairs may come from behind and compete with Xi Le.
Brother Le and Brother Daogui are equals, which is probably why Brother Xile can't bear it."
Zhu Chaoshi's face became more solemn and he said: "Yes, and the demon thief took the initiative to withdraw the navy fleet this time. Even the giant ships moved to the Jiangling area. It seemed that they were not preparing to attack proactively, but
In order to turn around and capture Jingzhou, or at least keep the retreat route open, Brother Xile might have been somewhat wary of the demon thief's naval strength and did not dare to attack rashly. However, if he knew that the demon thief's navy was not around, he might not be able to do anything anymore.
I was worried and went out with all my strength."
Liu Daogui gritted his teeth: "I'm not worried about Tianshi Dao's land combat strength. We have fought against these monster thieves for many years before and drove them all the way to the sea. Judging from their performance in the battle in Guangzhou, including this year,
They are not stronger than before, but if there is a Tiandao Alliance behind them, it will be a completely different matter."
Zhu Chaoshi looked at the four giant ships that were still burning in the distance, but the fire had gradually shrunk, and murmured: "Yes, this time inside the demon thieves, although we still cannot access their core secrets, as long as I
Judging from the situation of commanding these four giant ships, the control, advance and retreat of these giant ships used a lot of wooden armor mechanism skills. Lu Xun was especially good at this. The demon thieves also used a lot of wooden oxen and stray horses to transport grain, grass and baggage.
The wooden armor mechanism greatly saved manpower. In this battle of Guanggu, I heard that the black robe was also used in various ways.
Terrifying killing tools, if Brother Xile were to face these things, it would really turn the ship upside down."
