Chapter 259: Water War (1)
Three days later, Anlan City.
After Wang Xu's order was delivered, Zhao Long immediately convened his generals, as well as Min Ling and others.
In the hall of the mansion, all the generals sat down separately, and Zhao Long smiled and said: "Everyone, King Wen has ordered me to destroy the Malan Water Army, what do you think?" He looked excited, and had been looking forward to this order for a long time.
As soon as Zhao Long's words fell, Zhao Hu laughed: "After waiting for more than half a month, you can finally do a big job, big brother, you can give the order, how should we fight?" ”
Zhao Long said: "Although Ma Lan's department claims to be 50,000 elite sailors, but in my opinion, it is vulnerable, he doesn't even know how to use the navy formation, and he dares to come to attack me and look for death!" If it weren't for King Wen's constant obstruction of the attack, the Pontus Governor would have destroyed him a long time ago! ”
"Then I don't know what big brother has planned?" Zhao Li interjected.
Zhao Long slowly looked at Min Ling on the side: "General Min, I don't know if you have any high opinions?" ”
Min Ling has been in a bad mood during this time, and he has no chance to send troops, and the next water battle has nothing to do with him, so he shook his head: "General Zhao, my task is to garrison Anlan City, as for the attack on Malan, don't ask me, I don't know anything." ”
Zhao Long nodded with satisfaction, he was afraid that Min Ling would intervene, and now since Min Ling has an attitude that it is not about himself, then he is not welcome.
"Well, in that case, the general will give the order."
"Our first line of defense has been breached, and the second line is also in jeopardy, so I decided to let them in!"
"Zhao Hu, you go now, withdraw all the defense lines, and see if Ma Lan dares to come in!"
Zhao Hu frowned, but he only hesitated for a moment before giving up his promise, and then turned to leave. For Zhao Long, he knows a lot about it, and he has a good set of water battles, since he dares to withdraw all the defense lines. You will be sure of victory.
Zhao Hu left, Zhao Long got up and said: "You will quickly reorganize the army with me, and fight to the death with Ma Lan tomorrow, let him see how powerful we are!" ”
"Yes!"
The crowd answered.
...............
That night, Zhao Long's remaining two lines of defense were all withdrawn overnight. Not a single boat was left, the river was empty, and under the moonlight, the river was agitated and reflected.
Ma Lan stood on the deck of the large ship, frowning and puzzled, Zhao Long's move made him really difficult to deal with, in the past, he couldn't move half a step forward after hard attack, but now, people get out of the way. He really didn't dare to move forward, for fear of deception.
"General, since the enemy has shrunk its forces, then we should march." A lieutenant general stepped forward.
Ma Lan was very worried, thought for a moment, and said, "The enemy is trying to lure us and others forward, can't you see it?" ”
"But general, if we don't march, how can we attack Hexi County?"
Yes, how to pacify Hexi without marching?
"It's getting late today, and it's not easy to march. Order, tomorrow as soon as the sky is light, all warships will move forward, but be careful. Don't drive too fast, I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in the enemy's gourd! ”
The adjutant general fed and fed: "Obey!" ”
...............
The next day, Ma Lan really led the army forward, and Zhao Long held a telescope in his hand and watched uncontrollably, waiting to see the enemy's position clearly. Suddenly burst out laughing.
"Okay, this Ma Lan doesn't know anything about water warfare, and today is his death!"
"Zhao Li, prepare twenty small warships, one hundred archers each, one hundred sword and shield men, and when I give the order, you can launch an attack!"
Although Zhao Hu and Zhao Li are not as good at sending troops as Zhao Long, they also know that the large ships of the naval army can have the upper hand, and most of Ma Lan's ships are medium-sized warships, and there are even large warships, if they send small warships to attack, it will be difficult to win.
Telling Zhao Long about his doubts, Zhao Long smiled and said: "You don't know, the enemy's formation is too sparse, and the distance between the warships is too far, especially Ma Lan's large ship, his two wings are not protected by any protective measures, if I surround it with twenty small boats, and then lead the soldiers to storm it, how will he deal with it?" ”
"As long as the large ship is broken, Ma Lan is in my hands, and the enemy army retreats without a fight!"
The two of them suddenly realized, but Zhao Hu frowned again: "Then our twenty small ships are going to be attacked by other warships in Ma Lan, won't they suffer heavy casualties?" ”
Zhao Long took a deep breath: "How can there be immortals in war?" It can only be a matter of how much, if we can capture Ma Lan, then the dead brother can rest assured. ”
The two nodded at the same time, and then began to prepare separately, Zhao Li was responsible for preparing the twenty fast boats, and Zhao Hu was ready to organize troops to attack Ma Lan's large ships.
Half an hour later, Ma Lan led the army to Zhao Long's barracks, and more than 40,000 soldiers all stopped and stopped to watch; At this time, Zhao Hu and Zhao Li also arranged the soldiers, as long as Ma Lan dared to come, they would definitely be able to give him a head-on blow.
"Zhao Long, you are just a thief in Xiaoting Lake, how dare you fight against the imperial court, I will persuade you to surrender quickly, lest the soldiers behind you be implicated by you!" Malan stood on the deck and shouted loudly. While shouting, he was observing Zhao Long's military camp, and at the same time, he was also thinking about how to attack.
Through the confrontation in the past half a month, Ma Lan also knows something about Zhao Long, and when it comes to water warfare, he is indeed very methodical, so he is also very vigilant, and generally does not dare to enter without authorization.
Facing Ma Lan, Zhao Long was not afraid at all, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Ma Lan, you are also known as the general of the empire, but since you sent out the army, you have been defeated many times and have not made the slightest meritorious service; The land war is not as good as King Wen, and the water war is stagnant, fighting with my 30,000 cutting-edge sailors, but they are timid, what face do you have to lead the three armies, dare to make noise in front of me, and you are not ashamed? ”
As soon as Zhao Long finished speaking, the soldiers in the barracks burst out laughing.
Ma Lan was instantly furious, Zhao Long's words were sharp, and he was speechless to refute, because what Zhao Long said was true, but he was repeatedly defeated.
Ma Lan said: "You and other thieves, don't show the benefits of your tongue, today our army is pressing, and you will die here!" ”
"Come if you have the guts, Zhao Long is waiting here!" Zhao Long had no fear, and said with a smile.
He had already made preparations, but he had to wait for the opportunity, now the large ship where Ma Lan was was still a dozen feet away from the barracks, if the small boat was dispatched, it would definitely attract the attention of the enemy, and then the two wings supported the middle, and the twenty fast boats out of the barracks returned in vain.
If you want to achieve the goal of capturing the king, you must first lead Malan to the front, at most five feet away from the military camp, only then can twenty clippers successfully surround him. (To be continued.) )
