Chapter 212: Soldiers Stand by Deception

On the water surface of the Yangtze River, the war drums were impassioned, the horns were whimpering, Kang Maocai's navy came against the river, the battleships were densely packed, blocking the channel, and there was no end in sight.

Hao Ren's Qingfeng army and navy, twenty building ships, divided into two rows of front and back crossing, anchored across the river, aimed the muzzle of the cannon at the channel of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, large and small warships, densely lined up, along the left and right sides of the river, there are ambushes of a thousand households of artillery and a number of soldiers.

Surrounded by a cadre of civil and military officers and handsome flags, Hao Ren stood majestically on the deck of the building ship in the middle of the second row, the river wind blew his big roar, and he held a monocular to watch the opponent's military formation.

The sea ships of Kang Maocai's navy were about one-third larger than those of the Qingfeng army, with one hundred. Sea ships are mainly driven by sails when they sail on the sea, but now there is no wind on the river, and they can only test the oars as the power.

The ships were densely packed into several rows, with sails across the river, and on each deck, it was clearly visible, with only four large guns.

It is not an exaggeration to call the cannon on the Kang Mao Cai ship, and the cannon is simply a giant level, ten times the size of the Qingfeng firearms.

Only then did Hao Ren understand what Li Datong was talking about, 'if the range of the Mengyuan cannon is comparable to that of the Qingfeng army'.

It turned out that the artillery builders of Meng Yuan did not get the finely refined gunpowder, but increased the amount of gunpowder and increased the volume of the artillery, so that it was slightly equivalent to the artillery of the Qingfeng army.

Hao Ren took a look at the military formation, and his heart was quite confident, in terms of the number of his artillery equipment, several times that of the enemy, the power of the waterwheel was far better than the power of the oar, and the Qingfeng army occupied the geographical advantage of the upstream, Hao Ren was confident enough to defeat Kang Maocai's army.

Hao Ren put down his glasses and asked, "Do you have any good strategies to break the enemy when you join the army?" ”

All of you who joined the army gossiped and expressed their opinions one after another.

There are those who say that small boats are sent to raid. After all, the number of artillery equipment of Hao Ren's boat is comparable to the number of artillery equipment of the sea ship, and the small boat is mobile and flexible, and it is cost-effective to change a small boat to a sea ship. Anyway, the warships equipped with artillery are mainly used to sink the enemy's warships, and instead of two ships connecting the county, they rely on the soldiers on the deck to fight.

It is said that luring the enemy deep and luring the enemy to attack! Anyway, the river is only so wide, and the artillery that Hao Ren ambushed on the shore on both sides can also provide fire support, and the Bagua Continent behind him is a huge unsinkable battleship, attracting Kang Mao to fight, and the Qingfeng army has enough advantages!

In Hao Ren's view, these two tactics are feasible, but the enemy also has powerful firearms, the enemy's combat power should not be underestimated, both sides are wooden ships, as long as they are shot, a ship is basically scrapped, although Hao Ren feels that he has enough chance of winning, he still feels that this is too great a loss for his own sailors!

Only Liu Bowen shook the feather fan, mysteriously, as if he knew something in the sky, and secretly spread out his palm to Hao Ren, and the word 'fire' was clearly written on his palm with a brush.

Hao Ren felt that this kind of tactic was quite in line with his own, and said with a smile: "I also have this intention, then Liu will join the army and start preparing first!" This kind of battle needs to occupy the time! ”

It can be seen that most of the blowing on the Yangtze River is the west wind, as long as the west comes, more than ten small boats filled with gunpowder and other ignition substances are released along the wind, and Kang Maocai's sea ships are not easy to move, isn't this a current version of the fire company camp?

Although Kang Maocai is not stupid enough to connect the sea ships as a whole, take the fire ships first, and then chase and kill the small and medium-sized warships, and break Kang Maocai, is it not a matter of minutes?

A group of people joined the army, and there was a lot of discussion, and they all speculated that Liu Bowen had no clever plan in addition to the enemy's military formation, but a small boat sailed out.

It was a small boat with only two sailors, four shield-bearers and two honor guards on the bed. One of the honor soldiers held the eight-sided sun flag, and the other honor soldier held the Fang Tian painting halberd, and there was a short and fat military general in the middle, who was 'Kang Maocai'!

I didn't expect Kang Maocai to play with aristocratic temperament, what about Chen Yexian? Why didn't Chen come first? His ships have arrived!

There is no indecency! Hao Ren himself couldn't let Kang Maocai look down on him, and didn't talk to him in front of the battle, thinking that Qingfeng Jun was afraid of him?

Hao Ren left Liao Yongan in the Chinese army and himself to sweep the formation, but also only brought a flying boat, by Wu Liujiu, Fu Tong as the guard of honor, played a 'Qingfeng' military flag, the boat slowly sailed to the front of the two armies, behind the boat, a row of reed pipes, followed by the light boat, slowly forward.

"But here is the marshal of the navy, Kang Maocai?" Hao Ren saw that the other party's ship did not talk, so he asked first.

"Hmm...... The ......" The general on the other ship's eyes wandered, and he couldn't say a finished word for a long time.

'Damn, Kang Maocai is just this virtue, this handsome tiger might, just suppress him! ’

Hao Ren subconsciously thought so, but then, he felt that the problem was wrong.

Before Kang Maocai took the lead in coming to the battle, he should have prepared his words a long time ago, so that he would not be overwhelmed by Hao Ren's questioning, and he didn't even know whether to call Kang Maocai or not!

Then there is only one problem, Kang Mao on the ship is fake, and there is fraud in it!

What does it mean that Kang Maocai used a fake Kang Maocai to talk in front of the battle? Where is his deceit?

Hao Ren shouted: "Be careful of the guards, there is fraud in it!" But it was too late, and several hideous heads had already poked out of the water from the left side of the ship's side, put one arm on the side of the boat, and tried to overturn Hao Ren's boat together.

Kang Mao is scheming, how can he have any aristocratic temperament?

He used a fake Kang Mao to come out to lure Hao Ren to talk in front of the battle, but he had already ambushed the water ghost in the water, and wanted to take the opportunity to overturn Hao Ren's boat and capture Hao Ren who fell into the water with the water ghost!

A good move, the vicious thief captures the king first.

Wu Liujiu and Fu Tong heard the main public alarm, and saw several heads silently coming out of the water, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they hurriedly threw down the flag, drew their waist knives, and prepared to cut down the water ghosts that came out of the water!

Hao Ren's boat is a small boat, seven or eight water ghosts, hitching on Hao Ren's boat gang, the hull of the boat immediately tilted to the left, although it will not overturn the boat gang all at once, the boat shook, almost trance Hao Ren into the water, Wu Liujiu and Fu Tong also stood unsteadily, the waist knife has not yet been cut out, and it has been shaken and lost its center of gravity.

Kang Maocai's water ghosts are few, and they can't be overturned at once, and all the water ghosts "Hey!" Hey! The chorus of force, first pressing the side of the boat to tilt the boat to the left, and then taking advantage of the onset of the small boat's rebound, jointly pushing the side of the boat to tilt the boat to the right.

The boat swayed from side to side getting bigger and bigger, and if it went on like this, within three or two strokes, the boat would undoubtedly capsize!

Sun Tzu said: The soldier is treacherous!

Hao Ren has read "The Art of War" so many times, and before the two armies confronted each other, what kind of aristocratic temperament was playing, it was purely asking for trouble!
