Chapter 263: Tempting the Enemy

Even Guo Zhiyuan realized that this battle was not optimistic, most of the people present were people who knew the soldiers, and naturally they all understood the severity of the situation, and they all frowned and fell silent, Liu Ruosi had just joined Guo Zhiyuan's team, thinking about brushing up on his sense of existence, and seeing that everyone was not speaking, he took the initiative to speak: "In this way, it will be troublesome, Zhao Bingjian can't hold out, so he can only fight a landing battle, so our troops are a little insufficient, but with General Shen here, we will definitely be able to come up with a good strategy to break the enemy!" ……”

Shen Yourong didn't think much of Liu Ruosi's sycophancy, glanced at him, shook his head with a grim face and said: "Shen is not an immortal, in this case, it is difficult for Shen to come up with any good strategies to break the enemy at a certain time, if Shen is given some more time, Shen may still have the certainty of victory, but if you want to break through the stronghold of the rest of the rebels in a short time, it will be difficult!" ……”

Chen Di actually played the role of staff officer and staff member in Shen Yourong's army, so he would think more about logistics, and continued with a frown: "If it is a protracted war, the supply problem of the troops will be more troublesome, and the supply of thousands of people is not a small number......

Shen Yourong's brows furrowed even tighter, he actually knew that it was unrealistic to fight a protracted war, but he privately sent troops to help Guo Zhiyuan attack Dongfan, and if the time dragged on, Xu Xueju would definitely find trouble with him, so the pressure he faced would be great, and he thought about it: "In this case, you can only find a way to lure the rebels out and fight a decisive battle at sea to have a chance of winning quickly!" ……”

Liu Ruosi was bored just now, he was definitely not as good as Shen Yourong in terms of fighting, but he knew Zhao Bingjian and them better, and took the opportunity to quickly come out to brush up on a wave of existence, and then said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, the rest of Zhao Bingjian's rebels have just experienced a big defeat, and they have become frightened birds, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lure them out for a decisive battle at sea, they dismantled all the Hongyi cannons on the ship and moved them to the shore to build a fort, they made up their minds that they couldn't stick to it!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan listened to it, but his heart moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "That's not necessarily!" The rest of the rebels will not be able to hold out, and they must not know the news that General Shen led the army to come, they were defeated by my design in Shuizhai Mountain, and were attacked by General Liu, at this time, they must hate you and me to the core! If you and I take a small number of warships as bait, go to the remaining strongholds of the rebels to scold, and lure the enemy into battle, General Shen can lead the fleet to set up an ambush at sea, and when you and I lead the enemy out, General Shen will lead the army to kill again, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy! ……”

Liu Ruosi secretly complained when he heard it, he just wanted to brush his sense of existence, but he didn't expect to pit himself, this is not a good errand to be a bait, it is very dangerous, how many fishers have you seen who can catch the fish and keep the bait? He scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Eh, this sea has a wide field of vision, and it's not easy to set up an ambush, right?" If the distance is too close and easy to be discovered by the enemy, it will not have the effect of luring the enemy, and if the distance is too far and I am afraid that it will not be able to arrive in time, then the army of the luring enemy will be in danger of being annihilated. And that Zhao Bingjian is not a stupid person, I am afraid that he will not be easily tricked......"

Guo Zhiyuan naturally knew what Liu Ruosi was thinking, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It is indeed not easy to set up an ambush at sea, but as long as the army of luring the enemy has a good grasp of proportion, it is still possible to succeed. When the Japanese official went to Shuizhai Mountain alone to persuade General Liu to surrender, it was more dangerous than this, right? General Liu rest assured, this official will advance and retreat with General Liu, this official is not afraid, General Liu is afraid? ……”

At this time, Liu Ruosi was forced to go to Liangshan, so he could only grit his teeth and bow his hand to Guo Zhiyuan: "Lord Guo is not afraid, how can the last general be greedy for life and afraid of death, the last general is willing to go with Lord Guo to lure the enemy!" ……”

Shen Yourong was a person who liked to take the lead in fighting, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Guo Zhiyuan doing this, but he looked at Guo Zhiyuan more and more pleasing to the eye, and slapped his thigh hard and said excitedly: "Then follow this plan, Lord Guo and General Liu led the army to lure the enemy, and I led the fleet to ambush twenty nautical miles away, as long as you can lure the enemy out of the stronghold for ten nautical miles and drag the enemy army for half an hour, I will be sure to annihilate the enemy army at sea!" ……”

According to the plan, Guo Zhiyuan and Liu Ruosi chose five fishing boats converted into warships and took a thousand soldiers to the remaining stronghold of the Dayuan rebels to lure the enemy, and Shen Yourong took the remaining men and horses and the fleet to set up an ambush twenty nautical miles away, before leaving, Guo Zhiyuan suddenly took out a long cylindrical item and handed it to Shen Yourong, and said mysteriously: "General Shen, this is a gift from Guo to the general, maybe it can help the general establish a miracle in this battle!" ……”

Needless to say, everyone guessed that Guo Zhiyuan handed over to Shen Yourong is the telescope, the idea of the telescope Guo Zhiyuan has already had, when he went to Luzon, he bought the long-awaited glass lenses, and after arriving at Penghu Island, Guo Zhiyuan drew drawings and handed them over to the craftsmen who had worked in the glass shops in Spain among the surviving businessmen rescued from Luzon to polish, Zhao Shizhen made some fine-tuning after he came, and this time he finally made the finished product, which can be used in this battle!

Shen Yourong saw Guo Zhiyuan's mysterious appearance, and took the telescope a little inexplicably and asked, "What is this?!" ……”

Guo Zhiyuan had the intention of showing off, deliberately sold a pass, and said with a slight smile: "General Shen takes this cylinder, puts the thin end to his eyes, and looks into the distance with the thick end, and tries to know the magic of this thing......"

Shen Yourong curiously took out the telescope according to Guo Zhiyuan's instructions and looked into the distance, suddenly trembled with excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "This... This is the legendary clairvoyant! It's really a god! No... I don't know if Lord Guo still has this artifact in his hands?! Can you send Shen a few more? ……”

Guo Zhiyuan took out another telescope from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Di, who was also like a curious baby on the side, and said with a slight smile: "This thing is a famous telescope, and only ten dollars have been made in the workshop at present, so I will send General Shen and Mr. Yizhai one each, and wait for General Shen to capture Dongfan, how much will this thing cost!" ……”

Of course, Shen Yourong knew what it would mean if he could assemble telescopes on a large scale in his army, and his eyes lit up when he heard it, and he grabbed Guo Zhiyuan's hand and said excitedly: "Is this true?!" ……”

Chen Di on the side couldn't wait to pick up the telescope handed to him by Guo Zhiyuan and look into the distance, and immediately exclaimed excitedly: "It's really clairvoyance!" Lord Guo is really a god and a man, he can actually create such a divine object, with this divine object in hand, why not defeat the rebels! ……”
