Chapter 363: Worried

The war was imminent, but the coming Spring Festival still brought a touch of cheerfulness to the dreary island, and Zhao Yu ordered the guards to pay double salaries to let them leave the camp in batches, to relieve the tension since entering the court; Second, he knew that this might be the last Spring Festival for some people, so it would be good for them to be happy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info but he is not so idle, now he has to improve the battle plan as soon as possible, and make a backup plan for possible changes.

Zhao Yu felt that the boat was much safer than in the palace, at least there were not so many eyeliner, so there were important matters to discuss on the Sheji, and in the command room on the third floor, a large long table was placed on Yashan Island, which marked the islands and reefs around the island, waterways, mountains, villages, forests, as well as streams and wells, all the situation at a glance, this is the result of his previous 'fishing'. Chen Renweng, Han Zhen, Ni Liang and Zheng Yong accompanied the emperor to discuss the battle plan.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is best to fight a decisive battle with the enemy at sea, so that the camp can be guaranteed not to be lost, and it is also my strength to attack the enemy's shortcomings, and the odds of victory are very great!" After listening to His Majesty's introduction to the current situation, Chen Renweng looked at it for a moment and pointed to the sea area in the southeast outside Doumen and said.

"Well, the last general also thinks that it is more appropriate to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the open sea. However, the general thought that although there were not many suitable places for landing on Yashan Island, it was still necessary to prevent the enemy from abandoning the boat and landing on the shore, so as to give full play to its advantage over foot combat, so the defense of the island should also be strengthened, especially these two places! Han Zhen still had a dead face, and said expressionlessly.

"Well, you go on!" Zhao Yu nodded, noncommittal.

"The southwestern end of Yashan Island is relatively flat, suitable for landing, if the enemy enters from Doumen and lands here, he can go straight to the palace, threaten the safety of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, and control the port, so that our army will be defeated without a fight; In addition, although the waterway between Dongnengzhou and Sanjiangzhou is narrow, it can still pass through the thousand-stone warship after the high tide, and if the enemy detours here, he can borrow the river from the north at low tide, so that the back of our naval army anchored in the middle of it will be exposed to the enemy, so we should also send troops to fortify on the two continents to control the waterway to prevent the enemy from sneak attack. Han Zhenyan said.

"Ni Liang, what do you think?" Zhao Yu twisted his face and asked Ni Liangdao, who was standing behind him.

"Your Majesty, I thought they were all right. The island must be defended, so many of us have to get firewood, grass and fresh water from the island, if they occupy the island, just cut off the water source can trap us to death, that's all, I don't know if it's right? Ni Liang scratched his scalp and said with a smile.

"That's good!" Zhao Hao said with a smile, "The people who sail are most afraid that there is no fresh water available, they can live for seven days without eating and drinking water, and if they are cut off from water for three days, they will die, you can think of this." ”

"Your Majesty, the last general thought that the decisive battle with the enemy should be as soon as possible, in the battle of Donghai Island, those Jinghu sailors who often traveled on the water were seasick after entering the sea, all vomited and fainted, and they couldn't even stand up with their bows and arrows. Thinking that these northern soldiers were not much better when they first boarded the ship, and they requisitioned all boatmen and sailors from southern Fujian, and it was difficult for them to grasp the advance and retreat when they first arrived here. If our army takes advantage of their arrival and does not assemble to meet the head-on attack, it will surely win. Chen Renweng said with a smile.

"Well, your idea is very good, you will refine this plan again!" After listening to this, Zhao Yu thought about it and said.

Several people were very happy to see that His Majesty agreed with their ideas, and even Han Zhen's dark face showed a slight smile. They all know that the reason why Qiongzhou is what it is today is due to His Majesty, and it is precisely because of his invention of many strange and powerful weapons and relying on his combat policy that the Qiongzhou army has won huge victories in several naval battles at a very small cost. Therefore, His Majesty has a god-like existence in the Qiongzhou army, and now let them draw up a detailed battle plan to show His Majesty's recognition of their command ability.

After receiving His Majesty's order, the four of them did not rush to write, but first communicated with Cai Qiao, Lin Zhiwu and Jiang Zongjie, who were familiar with the situation in Yashan, and comprehensively understood the geography of Yashan, the establishment, training and combat effectiveness of the various armies of the imperial court, as well as the law of the tide rise and fall, the weather changes, and even the composition of the personnel of the court, the grain reserves, the origin of the volunteers, the distribution of food and salary, and other information that seemed to have nothing to do with the battle. Only then did we begin to study how to allocate troops and assign tasks.

Zhao Yu looked at the few people who were seriously discussing and felt very pleased, if they came up to check the sand table and handed him a battle plan, then he would definitely throw it into the brazier and not even look at it. Now, they have taken the trouble to inquire about the situation that they do not know, check the relevant information, and make a detailed analysis of the combat effectiveness of both the enemy and us before they begin to study the battle plan, which shows that they are no longer reckless men who only know how to lead troops to fight, but war generals who know how to use their brains to find a way.

Zhao Yu did not join their discussion, but the other end of the sand table looked at the sea marked above with both hands on his cheeks in a daze, he knew that the chance of the battle plan formulated by these people could be adopted was close to zero, but the reason why they made this plan was to test their organization and command ability, and the other was to let them understand the basic situation of Yashan. And what he was worried about was that not only himself, but even Lu Xiufu and the ministers could not stop Zhang Shijie from going his own way, and still used the strategy of connecting boats with iron cables and holding the village to fight the enemy.

Under the condition that the Song army had the advantage of the number of troops and warships, countless people in later generations expressed their incomprehension about Zhang Shijie's choice of this self-defeating tactic, and Zhao Yu also discussed it with others. Some people think that he is a northerner and a general of the infantry army, so he does not understand water warfare, so he will adopt this kind of infantry army formation and self-defense tactics; Some people thought that he was just a mediocre talent, because the situation forced him to ascend to a high position and obtain the supreme command, but as a result, he misled others and himself and became the gravedigger of the Great Song Dynasty; There is also a more extreme saying that Zhang Shijie is a spy who has penetrated into the Great Song Dynasty at all, and he wants to cooperate with his brother Zhang Hongfan to wipe out the Great Song Dynasty.

But these statements are very far-fetched and can't stand scrutiny, so this matter has become a topic that everyone never gets tired of, and Zhao Hao has also done a series of analyses, but the results are still unconvincing. However, after coming to this world, he gradually realized that without putting himself in his shoes, he could not understand the thoughts and principles of the ancient people, and of course, he could not give a reasonable explanation for how they acted. Just as the modern grassroots can't see through why celebrities, tycoons, and high-ranking government officials who don't worry about eating, drinking, or buying a house and paying off their loans are so depressed that they even jump off buildings, cut their wrists, hang themselves, and wipe their necks......
