Chapter 770: Beware of Water Ghosts

When Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo entered the wing, Su Tiancheng was still looking at the map, and there were still a few hours before he was about to set off.

Liu Wenxiu and the other three asked to see each other, Qu Qingze did not agree to it, after Sun Chuanting came to report, Su Tiancheng did not hesitate at all, and asked to bring the three to the wing room immediately. Although Qu Qingze is not good to oppose directly, the arrangement is very in place, Wang Dazhi and Liu Tiehan and others are all staying by Su Tiancheng's side, including himself, they are also staying in the wing, ten soldiers from the pro-military camp, guarding on both sides, as long as Liu Wenxiu and others have the slightest unfavorable action, everyone will do it. Although Su Tiancheng did not agree with such an arrangement, he could not resist everyone.

There are a lot of people in the wing, Liu Wenxiu and the other three don't mind at all, Su Tiancheng agrees with them, even if it is very good, you must know that the time has not been long, after the three of them entered the Jiangning camp, they have not made an inch, and their identity is so special.

After the military salute, Liu Wenxiu spoke.

"My lord, my subordinates, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo thought of some issues that need to be paid attention to in naval warfare, I don't know if Lu Dao is useful, so I came to report to my lordship."

"Well, just say whatever comes to mind."

"The three of my subordinates used to serve in the army, and later came to the Blood-Killing Alliance, and came into contact with some assassinations in the rivers, thinking of this naval battle, when the Blood-Killing Alliance was in the past, the favorite assassination method of the alliance leader was to use assassination measures in the middle of the river, taking advantage of the target's boat, and there were two ways to do this. One is to arrange for people to go directly to the boat, carry out assassination, and then sink the body into the river without any trace, and the second is to hire water ghosts, in the dead of night. Sneak aboard the ship, or simply scuttle the ship so that the target has no escape......"

Su Tiancheng suddenly remembered that in the naval battle, there used to be a special death squad, and such a death squad was actually composed of water ghosts, and they could attack in a variety of ways, including suicidal impacts. Burning sailing ships rushed into the warships of the enemy, moved into the bottom of the sea and scuttled ships, etc., these people did not think of life at all, with the aim of defeating the opponent, the lethality caused by these people was enormous, and it was also a major feature of naval warfare, but these situations were described later. are hailed as heroes because they don't care about life. Willing to trade his life for victory in the war.

After all, the training time is not very long, and they have not undergone special diving training, and everything is considered in terms of the power of warships and patrol ships, and how to give full play to the firepower of warships. is the focus of training, but Zheng Zhilong's sailors have been rampant at sea for many years, and many people even followed Zheng Zhilong when he was a pirate. They are proficient in water nature, once the battle is unfavorable, they will definitely consider using water ghosts, if the Jiangning battalion water division is not able to guard, they may suffer heavy losses.

Su Tiancheng's expression became serious.

"Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, this question you think of is very important, you can tell me, is there any way to deal with water ghosts."

"My lord, the formation of the sailors is dominated by giant warships and patrol ships, when attacking, there is a huge firepower advantage, subordinates think that Zheng Hongkui will definitely use water ghost tactics, or send small ships, with fire attack, the warship is huge, the impact is obviously useless, in addition, it is possible to use the water ghost's exquisite water nature, dive into the sea to destroy the warship, so the subordinates believe that every warship and patrol ship must be clear and pay attention to all movements at sea, especially those small ships, Small ships are fast, and the possibility of interception is not large, once they get close to the warship, the huge flames may cause the warship to suffer huge losses. ”

When he said this, Liu Wenxiu hesitated.

"Liu Wenxiu, just say whatever you think, don't worry about anything."

"Yes, the subordinates thought that when the attack began, the primary target of the warships and patrol ships was those small ships, using the advantage of firepower to blow up and sink these small ships, so that Zheng Hongkui had no chance, as for the water ghosts who moved into the sea, the soldiers' flintlock guns were completely able to deal with them, so that the water ghosts had no chance, in addition, the heavy task of dealing with the water ghosts mainly lies in the Haicang boat, the size of the Haicang ship is not large, equipped with sufficient small firearms, and it has enough confidence to deal with the water ghosts."

Su Tiancheng nodded slightly.

Seeing his own statement, he was affirmed by Su Tiancheng, and Liu Wenxiu became bolder.

"My lord, my subordinates thought that the first thing to deal with Zheng Hongkui's small battleship, on the surface, let go of the large battleship, but in fact, the large battleship could not escape, once the small battleship was destroyed, the large battleship could not be treated with the way of ramming and burning, the firepower of the naval warship was enough to sink the opponent's large warship, and the subordinates also paid attention to the speed of the warship and patrol ship, it should be very fast, compared to those ships that rely on wind and manpower to travel, it is more than twice as fast, that is, some small fishing boats, The speed is also not comparable to that of warships and patrol ships. ”

The tactics discussed by Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo are actually to first target the opponent's careful warships, or small ships, the main role of these ships may be to exert their abilities for the water ghosts, or after defeating the opponent, rely on small ships to carry sailors close to the opponent's large ships, climb on top of the large ships, so as to achieve the purpose of capturing the opponent's ships, destroy these small ships, and then the confrontation of large warships, whether it is from the configuration of firepower, Still in terms of the speed of the warships, the warships and patrol ships of the Jiangning Battalion Naval Division, including the Haicang ships, all have a huge advantage. Su Tiancheng knew very well that from the analysis of the firepower configuration of the warship and the speed of travel, Zheng Zhilong's warship was not comparable with the warship of the Jiangning Battalion Naval Division.

There are many ways to fight at sea, the sea is incomparably wide, and it is a huge battlefield, but in any case, the ultimate goal is to sink the opponent's ships, capture the opponent, and of course, the greater victory is to capture the opponent's ships.

The tactics proposed by Liu Wenxiu and others are indeed feasible, but the relevant arrangements are still necessary, and the Jiangning Battalion Navy Division has dispatched five large warship formations, a full 125 warships of various types, all of which are used to fight against small warships, which is a big fuss, and it should be feasible to use a part of the ships, or one of the warship formations, focusing on dealing with small ships, and the rest of the warship formations should still focus on destroying the opponent's large warships, after all, these large warships are the strength that the other side relies on.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Tiancheng made a decision.

"Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Li Dingguo, your suggestions are really good, we must pay close attention to the water ghosts, so as to avoid major losses, there are still a few hours, the water division is about to set off, during this time, you cooperate with Sun Chuanting to formulate a set of plans to deal with the water ghosts, my principle requirement is to draw out a special warship formation to deal with the water ghosts, and the rest of the warship formations still undertake the task of attacking, in addition, during this time, you can also based on your own experience, See if there are any other things to pay attention to, and come up with ways to deal with them as soon as possible. ”

Su Tiancheng's words are equivalent to being determined, and the plan proposed by Liu Wenxiu and others is very reasonable.

Sun Chuanting did not delay any longer, and immediately summoned the relevant naval officers, Su Tiancheng and the others left the wing, there were sand tables, maps and related information, using these materials, they could plan in detail.

After leaving the wing, Qu Qingze's expression was a little strange.

"Lao Qu, what do you think, don't you feel very strange about the changes in Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo."

"My lord, Xia Guan really doesn't understand, how long has it been, the three of them have been able to change so much, just now Xia Guan noticed their expressions, when they looked at the adults, there was reverence and surrender in their eyes, the adults affirmed their suggestions, they were ecstatic, they just couldn't help venting."

Su Tiancheng smiled.

"Lao Qu, this is what we need to achieve, think about it, what was the reason for the rebellion at the beginning, it was because they couldn't eat enough, they were facing starvation, so they rebelled, the rebellion was to be able to eat enough and live a stable life, so Liu Wenxiu and others, I'm afraid they also started from this point of view, they are not very old, and their ideas must be a little simple, but unfortunately the Liukou developed later, changed their original intentions, and what they thought of was not to rebel for the people to eat and dress. But some ill-intentioned people took advantage of this desire of the common people, and even thought about overthrowing the rule of the imperial court, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo, entered the Jiangning camp, and saw the situation in Dengzhou, what would they think, wouldn't they compare, they would definitely reflect on what the purpose of the rebellion was in the first place, and if it was in this situation today, who would rebel. ”

Qu Qingze nodded frequently.

"My lord, Xia Guan understands, it turns out that Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and Li Dingguo's ideas have really changed, and they are truly surrendered."

"It's not simple, such a change, it needs the right time and place, when the rogue was strong, the strategy we adopted was to resolutely kill the leader of the rogue bandits, and we would never let it go, if we let go of these leaders, the rogue can not be completely exterminated, once the rogue is exterminated, and the soil for survival is lost, our strategy must also be changed, don't rush to kill everything, try to fight for what we can, and be willing to live a peaceful life, we don't bother, this is the choice that the real king's division should make."
