Chapter 3449 Advantages and Disadvantages
『This is impossible!』
Zhou Tai's eyes widened.
In the early morning, Zhou Tai ordered the soldiers from Jiangdong to investigate everywhere, especially in the woodlands that did not make any noise last night, and those areas that looked normal.
There were no Sichuan and Shu soldiers, nor were there any ferocious beasts found.
But nothing can be found.
The soldiers in Jiangdong were very confused. Although they said nothing, the look at Zhou Tai showed some strangeness.
After all, no one wants to follow a neurotic commander.
Even if Zhou Tai may be a newly born neurotic, it is inappropriate.
The soldiers from Jiangdong avoided Zhou Tai and gathered together secretly, chubby.
Zhou Tai's guards heard something, but they were not easy to scold them, so they could only pretend not to hear it. After all, they were also called up by Zhou Tai early in the morning, and then climbed up and down to investigate everywhere. It would be fine if they found something, but there was nothing, which would be a little embarrassed.
"Master..." The guard whispered, "What did you notice? You can continue to look for it without any brains... Even if the soldiers have no objection, the physical energy will be consumed a lot. Then the war will be fought... Besides, this will be a big deal and being noticed by other places, wouldn't it be a big mistake?"
Zhou Tai scratched his head.
What can he say?
Say he has a feeling?
Wouldn't a general who fights by feeling even more panic in Jiangdong's soldiers?
Zhou Tai doesn’t believe in evil, he “feels” that his intuition is not wrong!
So he took the guard and went there in person...
He found footprints along the way!
But this is not convincing.
Because it may be that the soldiers from Jiangdong trampled on themselves, it cannot be counted.
The bushes are also broken by trampling and breaking!
But looking at the broken mouth, most of them are very fresh, so it is also possible that they were stepped on by soldiers from Jiangdong during the search process, and they cannot count.
Zhou Tai and other soldiers in Jiangdong believed that the only thing that could be sure to indicate that there were signs of ambushing opponents around was whether there were bonfires.
Only people use bonfires.
And after using the bonfire, there will definitely be traces on the ground!
So Zhou Tai’s main logo is to see if there are any ashes of a bonfire!
Even if it is cleaned up, the fine ashes are not so easy to remove, and even if it is covered with leaves and soil, it will not work.
The newly turned soil has different colors.
But Zhou Tai wandered around the forest and shrubs and rocky slopes for most of the day, especially last night when he felt something was staring at him. He walked around carefully, lowered his head, and worked very hard on the ground, looking for various marks bit by bit...
Still nothing was found.
In other words, no traces of people who have been there can be found that can be proved that they have indeed been there.
Some scratches on the ground, the marks in the shrubs, and even some miscellaneous lines of cloth, can't explain anything at all.
The soldiers and armor of the Han Dynasty were all standard, including burlap, yellow-gray, red-black.
Now that the Three Kingdoms have not been officially separated, no one has made any color changes on the soldiers' robes...
Oh, not at all, but Yuan Shao fell before he had finished doing this.
So Zhou Tai found some traces of suspected activities, but none of them were found in the most important bonfire.
There is no bonfire on the ground, so it cannot prove that someone has been here, and it cannot prove that Zhou Tai’s “feeling” is correct.
If you can't prove that Zhou Tai feels right, it can only prove that Zhou Tai is nervous.
Zhou Tai gazes his eyes and wants to say that he is not nervous, nor is he nervous before the war comes, but he has no choice.
Even if he explained to the soldiers around him, his intuition has always been very accurate and useless.
The soldiers in Jiangdong would only think that Zhou Tai was looking for a way for him. At most, he would just say a few hahaha and still wouldn't take it seriously.
"Are you really too careless?"
Zhou Tai was very irritable, took off his pocket and scratched his head.
"The Lord..." The guard whispered, "Isn't it a good thing to not find it?" This shows that the Lord is cautious, and it also shows that we are safe here now... a good thing...
『…』 Zhou Tai was silent for a moment and waved helplessly.
In the end, he still had to accept this result and ordered the soldiers from Jiangdong to withdraw and rest.
Although there was a cover of guards, this did not satisfy the soldiers in Jiangdong.
No one likes a general who is fine and messing around.
Zhou Tai's intuition is his advantage. From childhood to adulthood, he used his intuition to avoid many murderous intents.
But now his "advantage" has become his "joke".
In a place where Zhou Tai couldn't see, the muttering sound was like a cricket in the grass. When someone walked over, there was no sound, but as soon as the inspector walked away, the faint sound would sound again.
...
...
"General! How do you know that Jiangdong soldiers will come to search?"
On the other side, Gan Ning was surrounded by other Hussar soldiers, enjoying the admiration and admiration of other Hussar soldiers.
"Hahaha……"
Gan Ning smiled so hard that she could not see her teeth.
If he hadn't been worried that his laughter would be too loud, it would have caused Jiang Dongjun to be shocked, and Gan Ning would have been able to stand up and laugh out loudly with his waist on his back.
"You don't understand this..." Gan Ning's guards quickly added luster to his generals, "We generals, we have worked hard in our spare time! We are well aware of military tactics, we can know astronomy from above, and we can know..."
"Pong!" Gan Ning gently slapped the guard's helmet, "If you don't know anything, don't just swear!"
The guard laughed.
Gan Ning said to the other Hussar soldiers, "This is all said in the martial arts report... Do you understand the military strategy? Yesterday, who was right, it was the scout Wang Erlang who said he wanted to go to the distance to catch some insects and snakes to add some materials to the Jiangdong soldiers. I remembered that because we were in the forest, the insects, snakes, birds and beasts ran away..."
Moreover, even the navy soldiers of Sichuan and Shu have mountain experience and carry some deworming medicine. How could ordinary insects and snakes get close to them? The insects and snakes escaped, and the trees were occupied by these Sichuan and Shu soldiers, so the birds and beasts naturally ran away.
All herbivores have run away, and most predators in the forest have never seen so many people. So without knowing the strength of these people, they will not deliberately conflict with humans. They have agreed that this forest belongs to human territory and will not easily come to human territory...
So the whole forest will appear extremely quiet.
Gan Ning didn't think of this at first, but Gan Ning had a shortcoming, which was that he was impatient, so when he thought about it, he had to do it immediately. As a result, because of Gan Ning's personality characteristics, the Cavalry Army took the lead.
Gan Ning didn't expect that Jiangdong's army would really come to search.
But in this way, after the Jiangdong Army was empty, Gan Ning seemed particularly powerful. Is there any opportunity for the enemy to take?
Of course, Gan Ning and the others are not professional special forces, so there will definitely be some traces left, but similarly, Jiangdong soldiers are not all experienced hunters. They can tell from the urine stains on the bark that this is human urine or animal urine...
The bonfire that Jiangdong Army had been looking for was not available at all!
The mindset and cognitive differences make some things ignore them even if they see them.
On the one hand, Gan Ning and others brought dry food supplies from the Cavalry Army, which could be eaten without making a fire and cooking. On the other hand, Gan Ning and others rested on the tree branches, so there was no need to make fire on the ground to avoid and drive away the beasts that would attack at night.
The Jiangdong Bing obviously never thought that Gan Ning and others would rest on the tree because they were either on the boat or on land, and there was no such concept at all, so they naturally would not climb up the tree to see if there were any traces left by anyone.
"There are methods in the mountains..."
Gan Ning laughed and shared this knowledge with other Hussar soldiers.
Gan Ning has a careless personality and did not think about hiding this knowledge. At the same time, Gan Ning also knew that his knowledge came from the martial arts lecture hall, which means that other people also knew these things. Therefore, even if he was mysterious and kept it mysterious, it would not make much sense, and he would even turn his original favoritism into contempt.
"The martial arts lecture hall report? So effective?"
"Of course, that was written by General Husband himself!"
"I also heard that as long as you collect eighty-one chapters of the mansion, you can compile a set of military books!"
"Is it true or false?"
A group of Sichuan and Sichuan soldiers were chubby.
"What kind of mansion report, can I see it?"
Some people also came to Gan Ning to ask.
Gan Ning didn't care that the person who asked was just a little bit, "Yes, but... do you recognize words?"
Shi Chang was stunned for a moment, "You still have to recognize words? I... I can recognize about a hundred or dozens of them..."
"Ah, ha! Then there's nothing I can do. It's not that I won't show you, but that I can't understand it." Gan Ning waved his hand, "If you want to understand, you have to recognize words more... Well, at least, I think about it, it takes five...two or three thousand words to do... Isn't there a civil servant in the army? I can continue to learn words by sending a bacon stick..."
In fact, Gan Ning didn't know how many words he needed to know. He subconsciously wanted to say five thousand, but he felt that five thousand might be too many, and he himself might not know five thousand words, so he changed his words and said two or three thousand.
"It costs two or three thousand..." Shi Chang was a little confused, "So many?"
"There are so many?" Gan Ning smiled, "If you recognize five words a day, only three words a day, there are nearly a thousand people a year! Everything needs to be accumulated and endured. You don't need to practice martial arts every day in the army, and you can work hard to fight? If you don't endure hardship, how can you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy? It's almost the same for others to kill you! The same is true for recognizing words and studying. If you don't work hard, these words will bully you! Let me tell you, this is what Zhuge is doing! Think about it, is this the truth? It's a hundred or dozen words long, but if you want to be a team leader, it won't be enough! You won't just want to be a big one for the rest of your life, right?"
Not only was it a good person, but other Hussar soldiers around him felt a little touched after hearing Gan Ning's words.
But, people are like this. Feelings are feelings, and actions are actions.
No matter how many feelings you feel, you need to take specific actions to be useful...
Perhaps one day, among these people in front of Gan Ning, some will grow up and stand on their own, but there are also many people who will continue to live until they die in battle or die of old age.
...
...
The sun hangs high in the blue sky, and occasionally dances to play with the soft little beauty of clouds, reflecting the little faces of clouds, making them golden and rosy. As for the river on the ground, as well as the ships and people on the river, the sun is not as beautiful as the face of the little sister Yuncai.
This is the difference between heaven and earth.
Why do you say "one day in heaven, one year in man"?
It’s not because Newton’s coffin board cannot be covered, but the difference in people’s hearts.
I didn't see the high-rise in the Yunxiao Palace, when the gods from all walks of life were giving reports, they said, "Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a passing day, and before I knew it, it's another year."
And the people on earth have passed today and worried about tomorrow, and they will be "living like a year" every day.
For the sun, everything on the ground is ants and grass, and there is no difference.
Whether it is a tricolor ant or a red and black ant.
Under Xu Huang's order, the Sichuan and Shu navy marched out of the water camp and headed downstream.
Three-colored flags flutter in the wind.
The boats adjusted the bow of the boat in the sound of the trumpet, pulled the sail halfway, turned the crossbar of the sail, and with the power of the water and wind, the momentum was huge and the fighting spirit was scattered.
The war drums roared and echoed on the waves.
The navy battles in this era are still dominated by ships and auxiliary ships. There are some prototypes of the battle modes of giant ships and cannons in later generations. The ships are responsible for outputting main damage, fighting ships finishing the fight ships and intercepting the opponent's small boats near the dead corners of the ships. Other ships generally transport supplies or personnel and also participate in the battle, but they are not the most important part of the combat force.
The Sichuan and Shu naval army centered on the tower ships, and the other ships formed a crescent-shaped team for the two wings, moving towards the Jiangdong naval army's fleet.
It was quite comfortable to go downstream, but if you couldn't defeat the Jiangdong naval army and then you had to go back, it would become a countercurrent...
The Sichuan-Shu Navy was majestic, but the Jiangdong Navy did not send more naval troops, but only sent less than 80% of the Sichuan-Shu Navy ships. However, it can be clearly felt that the Jiangdong Navy ships would appear more flexible on the water surface.
Soon, the two sides were intertwined and entangled again on the river.
The last battle between the two sides was a bit "perfunctory" and the attitude of trying to win by taking advantage of tricks is a bit different. This time both sides were much more serious, rushing each other, and seizing a favorable position on the river surface of the river.
Jiangdong’s strategy is obvious.
It's like a piece that has fallen on the chessboard, placed there, and can be seen by both sides.
Generally speaking, only the tower ship can deal with the tower ship. If a general fighting ship is targeted by the tower ship and avoids the catapult, he may not be able to avoid the crossbow gun. Even if he finally approaches the tower ship, perhaps a pole falling from the sky can directly break the deck and keel of the battle ship.
However, the Jiangdong Navy wanted to use its skillful boat control technology and proficiency in water warfare to use small boats to eat big boats. Especially after seeing the Sichuan and Shu Navy improved the corner of the fighter, the Jiangdong Navy also urgently pretended to be some fighting ships, trying to "return the person to the other person's way" to force the preparation of the Duizi, and to exchange small for the big.
For the Jiangdong Navy, even if the ship breaks and falls into the water, they are not very scared. Not only because their water quality is good, but more importantly, their location happens to be downstream, so they just need to follow the water to approach the downstream water village, and they can naturally be rescued. Just take a bath in the river, which is not a big deal.
In this way, the original disadvantage of the Jiangdong Navy in terms of geographical advantages was transformed into an advantage to some extent.
This is the strategy of Grand Commander Zhou. It is very simple and practical, but before it is used and before it falls on the chessboard, how many people can think of it in advance?
Zhuge Liang thought of it.
He ordered the turbulent tank to be thrown out.
The turbulent oil tank went down the water.
This is during the day and can be seen by almost everyone.
The floating and heavy turbulent oil tank cannot be like torpedoes from later generations. It uses a propeller to draw a white line under the water surface with a sound. It can only mean that it is lying flat, swaying left and right, and then heading downstream.
The turbulent tank is too slow.
The training of the navy soldiers in the Jiangdong Army was also good. With a clear vision and everyone was on guard during the battle, the archers on the ship immediately picked up the bow and arrow and shot the turbulent oil tank directly on the road.
However, this happened to be Zhuge Liang's intention.
Zhou Yu's order was sent out, "Don't shoot tincture oil tanks!"
This is not Zhou Yu's slow reaction, but the rapid reaction of the soldiers of the Jiangdong Navy Army.
After seeing the turbulent oil tank appear, Zhou Yu almost understood what was going on at the first time, and then immediately ordered the soldiers not to shoot the turbulent oil tanks.
These tincture oil tanks may become good at night, from killing weapons on the water surface, but at the moment when the sky is bright, the navy has too many means to avoid the attack of this tincture oil tank. Shooting it out is indeed the simplest and most direct kind, so the soldiers of the Jiangdong naval army shot almost instinctively...
It's like their usual bow and arrow training.
But it’s a pity that because the Jiangdong Navy soldiers were highly trained, this advantage was taken advantage by Zhuge Liang.
After the Jiangdong Navy shot some turbulent tanks, the rockets that had been prepared were shot down!
A fire suddenly rose in the area where the tincture oil was broken on the river!
This fire will not last long. After all, the turbulent oil tank is not a gasoline bomb from later generations, but it can already force the Jiangdong Dou Ship, which attempts to attack the Sichuan-Shu fleet, to retreat. It is so slow that it is stained with some turbulent oil. It is so burned that it screams and jumps into the river.
Advantages, disadvantages.
Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong.
Zhuge Liang gently knocked the gold-painted fan in his palm, his robe was blown up by the river wind, and the Lun scarf was also excited with the wind.
Zhou Yu pressed his hands on the railing, and the long hair on his fur was trembling in the wind.
