Chapter Seventy-Nine: A large number of official and military warships appeared near Daishan Island, and people on Daishan Island were panicked, and many people had the idea of escaping. But at this time, it is even more difficult to escape from Daishan Island than to ascend to the sky. Regardless of the strict blockade of the official warships, with the small sampans thrown on the beach, if you want to leave here, you must first ask if you have the luck of Fuyun Lao Dao and An Sheng Monk.

The retreat has been broken, and under the bewitchment of the words of the Wuwei Sect, the outlaws have gritted their teeth and prepared to fight the officials and soldiers to the end. After all, Daishan Island is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the defense is properly deployed in advance, it is not easy for the officers and troops to attack the mountain. If everyone resists desperately with one mind, it is not impossible for the officers and soldiers to return home with heavy casualties.

But this is just wishful thinking on the part of the low-level widows who have been seduced. As the initiators of the propaganda of coexistence with Daishan Island, Zheng Shanchuan and Fuyun Dao Chang and Monk An Sheng did not hold out any hope at all for holding Daishan Island. Putting aside for the time being, whether the official army will attack the mountain with heavy casualties, even if they use a huge naval division to tightly blockade Daishan Island, the grain on the island will not last long, and the end of Daishan Island will be self-defeating.

Therefore, when the three of them ordered their subordinates to arrange them strictly, they had already quietly made the idea of escaping. "If the official army wants to attack the mountain, it is impossible to win in a short time, and it will be a protracted battle." Although he does not have much confidence in holding Daishan Island, Zheng Shanchuan will not belittle his own situation, relying on the geographical advantage, it will not be too much of a problem to stick to the rest of the month.

"In this way, their attack on Daishan Island must constantly adjust the deployment of troops, so that some loopholes will be unavoidable, and these loopholes are our chances to escape." The door was closed, and Zheng Shanchuan lowered his voice and said to Fuyun Lao Dao and Monk Ansheng. This matter must not be spread out, otherwise it will be learned by his subordinates, and the morale of the army, which has been greatly encouraged, will be completely dissipated. If they are no longer bent on desperately resisting, how can they hold the officials and soldiers by the nose and let their deployment reveal their flaws?

After listening to Zheng Shanchuan's analysis, Fuyun Dao Chang said with admiration on his face: "The protector of the Dharma is high, and his subordinates admire him." "This idea really works, it's no different from what I've just figured out, and it's really the same as what a hero sees.

Monk An Sheng inevitably looked lonely, but he thought of those subordinates who didn't know that they were about to become ghosts under the official saber. It's hard to gather so many people, and the feeling of being in power is about to become a memory before you have time to savor it, such a big gap, such a rapid change, it's really a little unbearable.

"Monk, stay in the green mountains and don't be afraid of no firewood." As a confidant, what is in the mind of Monk Ansheng Fuyun Lao Dao can be known clearly by looking at his expression, and there is no need to waste time guessing.

"Alas, having said that, but seeing that such a group of people who had finally gathered together was about to be gone, the poor monk really couldn't bear it." Monk Ansheng's expression was a little sad, and the words he said were also compassionate. "Amitabha, may the Buddha bless them."

In fact, Fuyun Dao Chang was not feeling good in his heart, not because he was reluctant to let these subordinates who were about to become dead, but because he was anxious about the situation of himself and Monk An Sheng in the future. There is no bargaining chip in his hand, although he has Zheng Shanchuan's trust, but who will put himself and the monk in the eyes of Wuwei Sect, and I am afraid that the day of being wronged will come again.

Zheng Shanchuan looked at the expressions of the two, although he also had some sad feelings in his heart, he still comforted him: "Okay, Ansheng, don't be sad." Fuyun is right, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, as long as we are alive, there will be a chance to make a comeback. Besides, failure does not mean that we will not be able to achieve great things in the future, as long as I work together, sooner or later we will succeed. ”

"What the Dharma Protector said is reasonable, monk, don't be sad anymore, let's plan to hold on to this life." Fuyun Lao Dao patted Monk Ansheng on the shoulder and persuaded.

"Alas, it's hateful that the red-haired ghosts on those two ships are greedy for life and afraid of death, if they do their best to rescue, how can we fall into such a situation." Monk Ansheng was angry, and as soon as he turned his head, he shifted the blame to the two fleeing warships.

Speaking of this, Zheng Shanchuan, who had been worrying about escape, remembered the two red-haired ghost warships that had disappeared, and saw him frowning and said: "This thing is a little strange, it is said that Si Aomu fell into danger, as subordinates, they should desperately save each other, why did they run away without firing?" And there are our people on these two ships, so it is absolutely impossible for them to disappear with them. ”

Fuyun Lao Dao, who had escaped death, had never thought about it, and when he suddenly talked about this stubble, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and a possibility came to mind. "Protector, the people we arranged to carry grain and grass on the ship are the Japanese people from Dongying, these people have always been unruly and vicious, could it be that they took the opportunity to rebel and took away the two red-haired ghost ships?"

Monk Ansheng widened his eyes, raised his hand and patted his bare head, and said with a face full of remorse: "Don't guess, it must be a good thing done by these widows, let's get rid of these scourges as soon as possible!" ”

Zheng Shanchuan was stunned at first, and then sighed with annoyance on his face, the lonely widows themselves have never been in their eyes, and now they are careless in Jingzhou, and the good situation has been buried by them.

There is no regret medicine to take in the world, and it is useless to hate the Japanese people now that the roots of their teeth itch. After calming down, Zheng Shanchuan waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't mention this matter again, the two of you should better encourage your men and horses to resist the official army and prepare for our escape from Daishan Island." ”

Fuyun Lao Dao and Monk An Sheng glanced at each other helplessly, got up together and hugged their fists and said, "Yes, the two of us will go here." ”

They were arranging, and Shen Chongming, who was still on the ship, also summoned all the generals to gather together and prepare to collectively formulate a battle plan for this time. There is great strength in numbers, and everyone can still reduce negligence in the end.

"Daishan Island is steep and easy to defend and difficult to attack, if we attack strongly, even if Daishan Island is defeated, this casualty will definitely not be a small number." Chen Hai was the first to speak up. The combat power of these horses under his command is too low, but before leaving, he made a military order, presumably Shen Chongming will be very unkind to use.

As a result, heavy casualties were inevitable, and it was not impossible that all of the nearly 4,000 men and horses would be assigned as cannon fodder. They are all soldiers under their own command, and there is absolutely no reason to watch them die. Therefore, Chen Hai eagerly hoped to formulate a set of tactical arrangements to outwit and win, so as to reduce the casualties of his soldiers and horses.

"Well, what Lord Chen said is reasonable, all the generals talk about their own ideas, how to achieve the goal of outwitting." Shen Chongming looked at everyone and said, the tone of this battle was set. In fact, as the commander of the army, he did not want to see casualties among the soldiers, whether it was the elite 3,000 battalions of the Beijing Guard, or the soldiers of the local guard.

"My lord, the general thinks that we can arrange a combat strategy according to the topography of Daishan Island." Xiong Dabiao hurriedly said. Seeing that Shen Chongming cast his eyes on him, he explained in detail: "The terrain of the eastern slope of Daishan is more steep than the western slope, and it has been inaccessible for a long time, so it is very likely that the Japanese will not be deployed here. If we select an elite army to quietly go up the mountain from the eastern slope, and then fight down the western slope from the top of the mountain, so that the advantage of the terrain occupied by the Japanese will be in our hands, and the casualties will definitely be big if this battle is fought. ”

Shen Chongming only felt that his eyes lit up, and he immediately cast an appreciative look at Xiong Dabiao. I didn't see that Senior Brother Xiong, who had always thought he was a reckless man, still had such an insight, which was really rare.

The generals present also cast admiring eyes at Xiong Dabiao, worthy of being the general of the 3,000 battalions, not only is he good at martial arts, but this head is also very good.

"But we are not familiar with the terrain of Daishan Island at all, if we want to go up the mountain from the eastern slope, it is not an easy task, unless we can find a path, otherwise it will not work by climbing alone." Chen Hai raised a question, a clever move is not so easy to get.

Chen Xiao, who was standing behind Shen Chongming, smiled, "Although Lord Chen can rest assured at this point, it is reported that many of the people who originally lived on Daishan Island have fled to Zhoushan Island, so we can send someone to find them." They must be familiar with the topography of Daishan Island, and such a large Daishan Mountain, it is impossible to have a trail leading to the top of the mountain on the eastern slope, as long as they lead the way, it is not a problem to go to the top of the mountain from the eastern slope. ”

"Well, that's right." Shen Chongming continued to play the role of his leader, and he didn't say much, he was always making a decision, "In this case, please also ask Lord Wang to send a fast boat back to Zhoushan Island, and this official will send someone to invite the residents of Daishan Island, and your people should hurry up and bring them here." ”

"Yes, the last general will arrange the ship." The current Wang Zhen can be said to be subservient to Shen Chongming, and let him go east and definitely not west, in order to behave well now, and wait for the time to attack the mountain to make a point.

"Chen Xiao, you can run it yourself." The relationship is a bit big, although it is just a small matter, Shen Chongming still decided to use his right-hand man. Chen Xiao handled things properly, and he was most at ease with himself.

The two hurried away, and Shen Chongming continued to discuss with the rest of the people. "This time, the emperor has high hopes for us, and asks us to annihilate all the Japanese invaders. In this way, we need all the generals to work together to do a good job, so as to repay the emperor's trust in us. ”

Lord Shen was full of officialdom, and the generals also nodded their heads in understanding. "Lord Cao, the task of your sailors is to defend the sea, and you must not leave any chance for the Japanese to escape."

"The last will obey." Cao Jing got up and hugged his fists, gave a salute, turned around, and hurriedly walked out. He then sent gunboats to blow up the small sampans of the Japanese robbers, so that they had no chance of escaping from the sea.
