General Qin Jin took his scouts to personally inspect the situation on Mosjiu Island. They came back and forth for more than a month.
After returning, Qin Jin immediately went to Lin Ye to report the situation. This young general, who had only been promoted by the Supreme Sage in recent years, also had an extremely flexible mind and cunning vision.
"The enemy's defense on Mosquito Island has been basically completed."
"See clearly?"
"Actually, it's not all seen."
Qin Jin's answer made Lin Ye look at him more.
Qin Jin said: "The enemy deliberately did not arrange a patrol boat, so that we can take a closer look along the coastline of Mosijiu Island. The most suitable place for landing is heavily guarded and cannot be seen. The second place called Whale Bay has no soldiers, so there is no need to look."
Lin Ye judged the enemy's arrangement from these words, and it seemed that Qin Jin saw through it at a glance.
"The enemy tried to lure us ashore from Whale Bay. I asked the moss dove who was accompanying us, and he said that after we disembark from Whale Bay and go north, we have to pass through a canyon, which is dozens of miles long."
"Two hundred miles away from this canyon is the Yalong River. This large river almost runs from east to west. The river is wide and it is difficult to cross it."
"After crossing the Yalong River and heading north, there is an endless stretch of coconut groves. It is very easy to lose your way here. These three places are all natural and excellent ambush places."
Qin Jin concluded: "If we disembark from Whale Bay, even if we take all the troops from Jingzhou and go to the north to find the enemy, there won't be much left."
"Although I have not seen the enemy's rune weapons with my own eyes, I have carefully talked with the soldiers who participated in that battle after I arrived."
He walked close to the desk, picked up a pen and started drawing on the white paper
Topographic map of Mosquito Island.
"The enemy set up an ambush in the canyon. Even if they did not place rune weapons on both sides and relied on the advantage of the terrain to ambush our army with ordinary bows, arrows and stones, our army still suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight back. It entered the canyon and was slaughtered by others."
"If I come here to lay out the layout, I can fight hard here, but I can fight for a while and then leave, causing casualties to our army, but I can't let our army feel that this battle has no chance of winning, so I can only fight for a while, and then withdraw and continue to move forward."
.”
"Then, I will set up an ambush on the north bank of the Yalong River, place rune weapons in the grass on the bank, and wait for our army to ambush when they cross the river."
He drew while talking, and the writing speed was extremely fast.
"At this point, after our army was ambushed twice, our strength has been reduced by at least one-third. Just like in the canyon, the enemy will still fight for a while and then leave."
"Then there are coconut groves. The coconut groves are densely packed. The enemy can deploy a large number of rune weapons in the forest. I have asked that there is a kind of fire and thunder that is very powerful."
"If our army is lucky enough to get out of the coconut grove, less than half of its strength, or even one-third, will be gone. It will be too late to retreat at this time."
After Qin Jin finished his analysis, he took two steps back. The picture was completely displayed in front of Lin Ye.
This was the first time that Lin Ye truly recognized Qin Jin's talents. As expected, none of the young people selected by the Supreme Sage and secretly trained were parallel imports.
"so what?"
Lin Ye picked up the picture and asked while looking at it.
Qin Jin said: "Back to your highness, I feel that if we want to fight, we should directly attack from the north where the enemy is heavily stationed."
"Is there no other way?"
Lin Ye asked again.
Qin Jin replied: "Yes, but with the size of Mojiu Island, it is difficult to complete it."
It will not take a short time to fully investigate, and even the moss doves accompanying us don’t know where else would be suitable for a large force to land.”
"Secondly, the longer the delay, the more the enemy understands Mosjiu Island, but we still don't understand it. The enemy's defenses are becoming more and more solid, and our offensive method is still single."
Lin Ye asked again: "What do you think is the most reasonable way?"
"I think the most reasonable way is...not to fight."
Instead of questioning this sentence, Lin Ye nodded.
Judging from the map drawn by Qin Jin, it is almost impossible to explain the terrain.
As long as you attack it, you will face a situation like an ambush from all sides, or you will have to attack hard from the north.
"but......"
Qin Jin solemnly said: "If His Highness is willing to wait a little longer and wait until His Highness's cowardly army arrives, we can attack Mosjiu Island with superior force."
"Even if the enemy has powerful rune weapons, the enemy's strength is only more than 30,000 at most. Before waiting for the cowardly army to arrive, I will once again explore Mosjiu Island to find more suitable places to land."
"At least three places are needed to land at three places at the same time with superior forces, and then the enemy's defense forces are dispersed. Only in this way can the losses of our troops during landing be minimized."
Lin Ye nodded, not sure whether he acknowledged it or was thinking about something else.
After Qin Jin said these words, he fell silent and waited for Lin Ye's reply.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Ye put down the picture and asked, "Have you ever thought about using a special method to log in?"
Qin Jin nodded: "I've thought about it, but it's not practical."
Lin Ye motioned for him to continue.
Qin Jin said: "I have already asked Lu Jun about gathering Lu Dali
Lu Dali teaches that the enemy's rune weapons need a source rune to provide power, and the place where the source rune is located is most likely something similar to a light-measuring stone."
"If possible, we can form a small number of elite troops, mainly practitioners with Wuyue Realm strength, sneak into Mosjiu Island, find the source rune, and destroy it!"
Lin Ye said: "At present, this is the most reasonable way to play."
Qin Jin said: "It is the most reasonable, but things like the Source Rune must be well protected. If it is not a big thing, it will be even harder to find."
"Even if we call on all practitioners above the Wuyue Realm to attack and break through the defenses, among tens of thousands of enemy troops and with countless powerful rune weapons, the possibility of finding the source rune is almost zero.
"
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "According to the simplest speculation, the enemy's safest place is naturally the huge flagship. The weapons configuration on the flagship must be far beyond that of ordinary warships, and there must be a great talisman master stationed there, but
We think so, and the enemy thinks so too, so I suspect that the flagship is already a trap."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I think so too, the flagship is 10% a trap."
Qin Jin said: "So I think that if we want to attack Mosjiu Island, the most reasonable way is to wait."
Lin Ye hummed and did not respond immediately, but asked Qin Jin to rest first.
Of course, waiting is the best way. The enemy only has 30,000 troops at most. If an army of hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 can be gathered to besiege Mojiu Island, the chance of winning this battle will certainly be greater.
However, Dayu cannot afford to transport hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 troops now.
fleet.
The boat can't sail to Mosjiu Island. If it could, the people on Mosjiu Island would have found Dayu long ago.
A ship over ten feet long is barely usable, but if it really encounters a big storm, the risk of the entire army being wiped out is greater than going to the island.
Without large ships, it would be impossible for superior forces to play the role of superior forces.
But the method Qin Jin mentioned was exactly the attack plan that Lin Ye was thinking about.
When he asked Qin Jin to command the main attack force, he was already thinking that he would select a group of people to raid Mosjiu Island.
But he couldn't say these words in advance because his current status was too special.
Your Royal Highness, the current sole successor of Dayu.
If something unexpected happened during this war, the wrath of the Supreme Saint could completely burn Linhai County to ashes.
What is the purpose of Taishang Shengjun's efforts for more than twenty years? Of course it can be said that it is to let the people of the entire Central Plains live a truly good life.
But, isn't it for his own son?
"Invite Nie Wuzhi, Lu Junji, Sui Qingqu, and Goldfish."
"yes!"
The soldiers outside agreed and quickly ran out.
"We must fight on Mosjiu Island."
Lin Ye said: "The enemy is bound to have reinforcements. If we don't capture Mojiu Island before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it will be more difficult to attack in the future. Not only will our way to the sea be blocked, but the enemy will also come to our door from time to time.
.”
"The enemy came to our house to provoke us and slapped us in the face. Then we broke his bones and that's how it ended?"
"You can't, you can never, if the enemy comes to provoke you once, then you can attack him at his home.
Make them pay the maximum price, this is what Dayu soldiers should do."
Lin Ye stood up and walked around and said: "So, if I announce any decision, can you temporarily forget that I am a prince..."
I've been going around a long way just for this sentence.
Nie Wuzhi said: "I am no longer an official in the court, so I am under less pressure."
The goldfish shrugged his shoulders and said, "My stress level is normal, and I'm good at escaping."
Lu Junji said: "I..."
He is now the master of Fengyu Temple and lives in Geling, so it is probably not easy for him to run away even if he wants to.
Nie Lingshan and Zhu Xiaozhu looked at each other and did not dare to speak at all.
But after enduring it for a while, Nie Lingshan finally spoke: "How about you persecute us, Your Highness? The kind of persecution where if we don't agree, you'll whip us and use all the punishment."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "Your Highness can just whip him. He can be forced to do nothing. I just agreed because I felt sorry for Nie Lingshan and was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Your Highness."
Only Sui Qingqu remained silent.
Everyone knows that Sui Qingqu is the kind of person who does everything with Lin Ye's safety as the starting point, and his responsibilities have nothing to do with anything else.
"It can actually be done."
Nie Wuzhi said: "But there is indeed a shortage of manpower now. Even if His Highness is in the God-endowed realm and has water-avoiding beads, it will be useless if His Highness goes up and kills everyone. It will be useless if the source rune cannot be found."
"Although I am also in the God-endowed realm, I am not sure that I will not be injured when facing the overwhelming rune weapons. The enemy must have deployed more powerful rune weapons on the defense line."
Two great monks in the Immortal Realm
, and it is impossible to really rush and kill among tens of thousands of enemy troops as if you are in an uninhabited land.
The most important thing is that if the enemy knows that the warship can be destroyed here, can't the enemy take advantage of this?
Once a practitioner approaches a warship, the enemy will simply destroy several nearby ships, leaving you with no way to retreat or hide.
Sui Qingqu remained silent at this time.
"Of course it's okay to use a cloud boat to make a surprise attack, but the sudden attack isn't the problem."
"It would be great if we had enough people."
"It's best to be someone who can forcefully break through the enemy's defenses, or be a helper who can surprise you."
"Everyone is here now. I don't know when the experts from Yuxinguan and Xisheng Temple will arrive."
"It should be soon."
"As long as the masters from Yuxinguan and Xisheng Temple arrive, we should be sure of this raid."
"It's hard to say. It's too far for Yu Xin Guan to come here, and there's no Yunzhou."
"Although Xisheng Temple is closer, I heard that the old abbot seems to be in retreat recently. I don't know if the old abbot will see the documents sent by the court."
When everyone said this, there was more or less regret in their tone.
At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly glanced outside the door.
At the gate, a round head stuck out. He peeked into the yard and saw Lin Ye, and then he became excited.
