Chapter 114: Luring the Enemy Into the Urn to Catch Turtles
The news of the discovery of a large number of unknown fleets in the south of the island was quickly reported to Deng Shichang and Di Qing.
Hearing the news, the two of them, who originally looked relaxed because of the relaxed and perfect ending of this battle, couldn't help but look solemn.
Di Qing pondered for a moment and then asked Deng Shichang, "Admiral Deng, who do you think this fleet of ships that appeared at this time could be?" ”
Deng Shichang seemed to have a guess, and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the newspaper, these ships have both skulls representing pirate ships, as well as the 'king' banner, and can also gather such a large number of ships, if these points are combined, only one person is the most likely." ”
Although Deng Shichang did not explain who the person was, Di Qing's eyes lit up and blurted out: "Are you talking about Wang Zhi's house?" ”
Deng Shichang nodded and confirmed that he and Di Qing's guesses were consistent.
According to the Black Ice Platform and the information obtained from the mouths of those Japanese prisoners last time, Wang Zhi can be said to be the most famous and powerful force among all the Japanese prisoners.
It is said that Wang Zhi's men and horses have reached nearly 10,000 people, and there are more than 100 ships of various sizes and sizes, and he is an absolute giant among the Japanese and island groups on the sea.
None of the Japanese did not know the name of Wang Zhi.
Although Wang Zhi is the leader of the Japanese Bandits, he is a real Ming man.
It is said that this person was originally a sea smuggler, but later felt that it was too slow to make money as a merchant, so he directly turned into a pirate and led people to rob passing merchant ships, and slowly became famous.
In the end, the Japanese began to rise and constantly harassed the Ming Maritime Frontier. Somehow, Wang Zhi ended up getting involved with the Japanese and eventually became the biggest force of the Japanese Bandits.
According to the current reconnaissance situation, a large number of ships can be entangled, and even these ships are mixed with pirate ships, obviously only Wang Zhi has this strength.
Now that it was determined that it was Wang Zhi's men and horses, Di Qing and Deng Shichang began to think about how this Wang Zhi could suddenly lead a large number of people to appear on the sea.
And looking at their direction, it is clear that they are coming towards the island they occupy.
Di Qing groaned for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Admiral Deng, I thought that this Wang Zhi should not be coming towards us, but coming towards Aoki Erlang, a group of Japanese robbers, it is very likely that Wang Zhi wants to annex Aoki Erlang, so he will mobilize so many ships and men." ”
Deng Shichang very much agreed with Di Qing's judgment, this Wang Zhi can become the largest island force on the sea, if he knew that hundreds of warships of the Qin army's naval division were here, and Aoki Erlang's lair was also captured by the Qin army's infantry, then he would not easily provoke as long as he had a normal brain.
So he nodded and said, "General Di's analysis is very reasonable, we only need to interrogate Aoki Jiro and those Japanese under him to know if our guess is accurate." ”
After the two discussed again, Deng Shichang boarded the flagship and commanded the naval warships to be on guard and ready for battle.
Di Qing ordered his generals to gather their troops and be ready to fight at any time, and sent people to bring Aoki Jiro and other captured Japanese for interrogation.
That Aoki Jiro heard that it was possible that Wang Zhi came with a large group of people, and first scolded him, and then laughed wildly, and his arrogance was suddenly extremely arrogant.
From the mouths of those Japanese who knew Japanese, Aoki Jiro learned that Wang Zhi was coming with a large number of ships, and first scolded Wang Zhi for being greedy and wanting to annex him. Then he suddenly laughed wildly, again because he wanted Wang Zhi and Qin Jun to lose both, so that he could vent the hatred in his heart.
Although he won't kill him for the time being, he will inevitably suffer from a meal of flesh and skin.
Aoki Jiro was violently beaten by Di Qing's personal guards, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his ribs were broken several times, his face was covered with blood, and his arrogant arrogance was quickly suppressed, just muttering something in Japanese.
Di Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and interrogated a few Japanese captives who knew the inside story, only then did he know that there was a grudge between Aoki Erlang and Wang Zhi.
Jiro Aoki once robbed a small group of pirates who had taken refuge under Wang Nao. Later, Wang Zhi sent someone to recruit Aoki Jiro, but Aoki Jiro was also refused.
Hearing this, Di Qing didn't ask any more questions, he could basically confirm that the unknown fleet was Wang Zhi's person at this time.
So he quickly boarded the boat and came to Deng Shichang's flagship to discuss with Deng Shichang, and the two quickly formulated a strategy to meet the enemy.
After confirming that it was Wang Zhi's people, Di Qing and Deng Shichang were excited.
Originally, they thought that this time they would only be able to annihilate the Japanese of Jiro Aoki, so as to deter other Japanese and islands. But after all, Aoki Jiro is not very strong among the Japanese robbers, and even the deterrent effect is not very good.
However, Wang Zhi's sudden appearance gave them a better opportunity to display the might of the Qin army. If Wang Zhi suffers a big loss this time, even if he can't capture Wang Zhi alive, it will be enough to make the other Japanese feel afraid.
Killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, Wang Zhi is the most suitable chicken.
The so-called strategy to meet the enemy is actually very simple. To sum up, it is eight words: lure the enemy deep, and catch turtles in the urn.
First, the naval division sent a small number of small warships, under the banner of Aoki Jiro, to intercept Wang Zhi's fleet under the banner of Aoki Jiro.
After a casual exchange of fire, the sailors fled in a hurry, making Wang Zhi's fleet even more contemptuous of them, and luring the fleet to continue its advance towards the island.
The main force of the Qin army's naval division was divided into four detachments and withdrew to the outskirts of the island, and the evacuation stopped at a place where the enemy could not find it.
Once Wang Nao found out that Aoki Jiro's ships were vulnerable, he would naturally order to land on the island.
Once Wang Zhi's men began to land on the island, the part of the Qin army that pretended to be a Japanese invader pretended to be invincible and fled into the depths of the island in panic.
Under Wang Zhi's carelessness, it is very likely that he will personally lead people to land on the island to fight.
After Wang Zhi's main force landed on the island, the Qin army's naval divisions surrounded Wang Zhi's fleet from the outside and cut off their retreat, and then the Qin infantry surrounded and annihilated Wang Zhi from the island.
After Di Qing and Deng Shichang discussed, the two quickly divided labor, and Deng Shichang commanded the sailors to lure the enemy and counter-encircle.
Di Qing commanded the infantry on the island to annihilate the Japanese after landing on the island.
After the two discussed, Di Qing quickly returned to the island in a small boat, and ordered all the troops on the island to quickly eliminate the traces of the Qin army's camp, and quickly hide it. All the people were also settled in the Japanese dwellings on the top of the hill.
The Qin army soldiers ordered a ban, Di Qing gave an order, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all traces were eliminated cleanly, if he hadn't landed on the island in person, he couldn't find anything abnormal in the distance, as if nothing had happened at all.
The main fleet of the naval division also quickly moved away to the island under the command of Deng Shichang.
Moreover, the decoy team sent out also quickly sailed towards Wang Zhi's fleet.
