The mighty fleet rushed towards Puyang, the first time to carry out a water attack, Meng Ge did not panic at all, calmly observed the river surface, and from time to time made suggestions to Xu Huang, although Meng Ge is not proficient in water warfare, but he is also a little knowledgeable, this kind of thing is not difficult for him.

If you let Meng Ge directly command the fleet, it may be a little overwhelming, but to make suggestions, Meng Ge is obviously more than enough, of course, this era is still stuck in the era of broadside warfare, the theory that Mongo knows, at this stage, can not be played, the understanding of docking warfare, Meng Ge is not much stronger than Xu Huang.

However, in the first battle, Meng Ge did not plan to start a broadside battle, he just went to Cao Jun's camp to take a walk around and explore the truth and reality, since Cao Jun did not come by himself, Meng Ge only came uninvited, he did not plan to reason with the other party, and it was not his business to be reasonable.

The fleet went down the river, the speed was very fast, the combined army water village was soon close in front of him, the mighty fleet arrived, the northern coalition army was taken aback, the soldiers at the reconnaissance site gasped, looking at the opponent's posture, maybe they were preparing to attack.

"When the enemy is coming, immediately enter the battle mode!" Le Jin did not hesitate, and immediately issued an order to prepare for battle, and in just an instant, wolf smoke rose along the Yellow River, and Cao Jun finally began to move.

The wolf smoke is everywhere along the Yellow River, not only Cao Jun's own people see it, Meng Ge also sees it, the wolf smoke as the fastest means of transmission, is used by Cao Jun for the defense along the Yellow River, it seems that Cao Ying also used a certain amount of brains, presumably soon the enemy army will have a move.

Looking at the wolf smoke rising high, Xu Huang frowned, the enemy's protection of the water village is very good, so far to send a message, with the current distance, the enemy has sufficient time to prepare for battle, this attack will lose its sudden surname, fighting a well-prepared enemy army, obviously will not be easy.

After thinking for a while, Xu Huang hesitated and said: "General, the enemy army has been prepared, the attack has lost its surname, our army has little advantage, if the Cao army can't retreat, we have no way to attack!" ”

Staring at the enemy water village in front of him, Meng Ge said in a low voice: "Not necessarily, Cao Ying may choose to attack it, if they don't attack it, our army will take the initiative!" ”

What kind of person is Cao Ying, Meng Ge has a certain understanding, now the strength of the enemy army is unknown, but he can see the offensive of our army, if Cao Ying has enough hole cards, then he will not hesitate to eat this enemy who is coming, as long as the hole cards are sufficient, Cao Ying will pounce on him like a hungry tiger.

Sure enough, as Meng Ge expected, the enemy really pounced, Cao Jun Shuizhai suddenly jumped out, all kinds of warships instantly came out, the wide water area immediately set up a formation, Cao Jun fleet bloomed like a flower, the arrangement of troops was not chaotic at all, and a cone-shaped formation was laid out in an instant.

"Attack formation!" The cone-shaped formation Mongo is no stranger, the arrow part gathers the enemy's forces, as the strongest assault point, the strongest attack point of the cone is the front, and it is obvious that the enemy intends to surprise from the front.

Instantly understanding the enemy's intentions, Meng Ge said with a smile: "Cao Ying is really welcome, Gongming, Cao Mengde wants to break through our army, now let's avoid it!" ”

Obviously, Xu Huang has long had this intention, it is the easiest to avoid the real and the virtual, since the enemy army is concentrated in the front, there is obviously no need to fight hard, the result is often full of uncertain surnames, uncertain battles, Xu Huang will naturally not fight, in fact, on the battlefield, it is obviously unwise to use the strongest elite soldiers against the enemy.

Elite soldiers should be used in the most appropriate place, in short, the enemy's weak point, the essence of the art of war to avoid the real and virtual, in fact, it is such a simple truth, people are accustomed to thinking that the enemy's elite should be used to fight with their own strongest forces, then it is a big mistake.

The essence of war lies in containment, counter-containment, around the avoidance of reality and virtuality, if there is no absolute certainty, the elite soldiers will not easily collide, only when there is a decisive surname fighter, this is the moment of decisive battle between the two armies, at that time it is possible for the two powers to meet.

"Understood!" Xu Huang arched his hand confidently, obviously he thought of a place with Meng Ge.

"Left Wing Detour!" Xu Huang locked his eyes on the left flank, as if he thought that this point was an opportunity, and the battle order was immediately conveyed everywhere, the supporting flags were played high, and the fleet immediately moved.

"The left is full of rudders, and the left wing is roundabout!" "The left is full of rudders, and the left wing is roundabout!" The shouts one after another, constantly coming from the side, got Xu Huang's military order, the fleet was rapidly disguised, Meng Ge nodded secretly, the mobility of the army is very good, speed means advantage.

Fierce offensives often come from speed, so fast that people can't react, this is the most powerful weapon, to avoid the enemy's main force with speed, impact the enemy's left flank, with the intention of messing up the enemy's formation, this is Xu Huang's intention.

However, Xu Huang's intentions, the enemy army will never be easy to yield, concentrate the elite troops in the cone formation, how can the Cao army let the enemy succeed easily, so strong that the sound of oars continues to rise, the Cao army's fighting spirit is high, the shouts of killing continue to come, the intention of the decisive battle is obvious, and the Cao army occupies the advantage of troops.

The enemy's fleet slightly surpassed its own, which is exactly what the enemy relied on, not to mention that the situation of the enemy's water village is unknown, how much combat power the enemy still has not come out, Meng Ge does not know at all, the unknown enemy is the most terrifying, taking advantage of this good opportunity to fight a decisive battle, Cao Ying's wishful thinking played well.

Almost at the same time, Xu Huang ordered a detour to the left flank, and Cao's army suddenly increased the speed of the ship, and the cone formation went straight to Meng Ge's position, putting on an aggressive posture, but their actions were not wise, fighting against the current was not good for them, war requires not only courage, but more importantly, wisdom.

The enemy attacked without hesitation, and Xu Huang immediately worried: "Frontal collision, general, it seems that the enemy is ready to stick to us and start a broadside battle!" ”

Meng Ge looked at it from a distance, and the Cao army in the distance was galloping rapidly, intending to attack the center, but the rear army did not act, so Meng Ge suddenly understood a little, just like his own side detoured to the enemy's left flank, the enemy chose the middle to attack, in fact, it was also a temptation.

Without thinking, Mungo immediately pointed to the front and said: "They are going to start a broadside battle, our army can't let him get his wish, you see that the enemy army is not fully dispatched, obviously they are also tempting, since they choose to test from the middle, it is better for us to be ruthless, outflank the left flank, and leave them all!" ”

"Understood!" Xu Huang is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he naturally understands this reason, the two sides will start a broadside battle when they fight, this approach is not clever, and it is difficult to give full play to the advantages, he wants to tell the guy on the other side that the battle is not fought like this, and the basic tactics of water warfare should not be the first to take overboard.

The messenger stood at the top, the two-color flag was constantly waving, groups of flags were constantly played, the battle orders were instantly conveyed to all departments, the left flank tested the surname fleet, and instantly understood the combat intent, all the ships immediately turned, and the speed was instantly raised.

"So fast!" Xiahoudun's pupils shrank, and the speed of the enemy's ships was obviously beyond Xiahoudun's expectations, a few points faster than he imagined, but it was too late now, and Xiahoudun's military order was too late to come out.

The forward assault team is getting closer and closer to the enemy, only a distance of less than a kilometer, and at this moment, the military order is transmitted again, and it is too late to turn around, and at the same time, if the cone formation cannot break through the enemy army, then the only possibility is to be surrounded and killed, and the crisis is quietly coming.

In the first encounter, Xiahoudun, who had a poor grasp of the battle situation, was about to taste the bitter fruit soon, the left flank forces suddenly detoured, and the Cao army was too late to respond, so they had to rush in hard, trying to break through the enemy's middle army, this was their only chance!

"Brothers, rush!" Cao Jun shouted the slogan of the charge, the enemy army in the rear has been outflanked, they have no way to retreat, only death fighting is the only way out, support until Xiahoudun completes the counter-encirclement, this is their mission.

"It's good to come!" Xu Huang smiled coldly, the enemy army rushed up without knowing whether he was alive or dead, this method was in his arms, the third military order was issued in an instant, and at the highest point of the flagship, several chess players continued to wave flags.

"The whole army listens to the order, the arrow team prepares, and the bed crossbow proofreads the target!" The third military order Xu Huang chose a long-range strike, everything the enemy wanted, he resolutely could not let the enemy succeed, they wanted to engage in the battle, Xu Huang just didn't let them get their wish.

"Bed crossbow calibration!" "The Arrows are done!" The sound of one after another continued to echo, and the entire fleet was like a precision instrument, and as the order of the flagship was given, the whole army launched a terrible attack.

Once upon a time, the terrible long-range attack on the land reappeared on the surface of the river, and the terrifying rain of arrows struck again, the huge bed crossbow took the lead, and the huge feather arrows made a sharp sound of breaking through the air, just in the stunned state of Cao Jun, countless black spots descended in an instant.

"Zizi! Bang! The huge feather arrows struck in an instant, and the crew on the deck of the Cao Army were caught off guard, and in the face of the huge crossbow arrows, countless people were shot through in an instant, and the chilling string of sugar gourds reappeared.

The general of the Cao army was instantly shocked into a cold sweat, and shouted in a hurry: "Get down, get down!" ”

There is no need to be reminded by Shangguan, Cao Jun, who was scared half to death, immediately became an ostrich, hid one by one, what kind of joke, in the face of such a terrible thing, if anyone dares to rush out, it is called looking for death.

"Good, good fight!" The first wave of attacks has achieved remarkable results, Meng Ge slapped his hands fiercely, the damage of the real surname has appeared, the water army is not bad at all, although I am not very familiar with the surname Shui, but the foundation of the original crossbow battalion is in, this effective attack is really beautiful.

Cao Jun, who was still screaming just now, was silent in an instant, in the face of this terrible attack, no one dared to take the lead again, the first wave of attacks achieved the results of suppressing the surname, Xu Huang looked relieved, this blow seems simple, but in fact it is not easy at all, without high-intensity training, it is impossible to complete such a cooperation.

The whole army was launched at almost the same time, what kind of hardships had to be paid, Xu Huang knew very well in his heart, if there was no bed crossbow, this blow would not have been so amazing, but with a bed crossbow, the personnel on the enemy's deck were completely live targets.

But the battle has just begun, Xu Huang didn't dare to be careless, the military order was passed like snow, this commando team that rushed into the enemy formation, Xu Huang obviously did not intend to let go, although it was a local battle, Xu Huang planned to solve the opponent cleanly.

"The front army has been thwarted!" Xiahoudun looked dead, what this meant, of course Xiahoudun understood.

"Fence it and open the passage for me!" Xiahoudun gave another order in a panic, but how could such a military order be useful, Xu Huang seemed to know that the enemy army would do this.

The left wing commando opened the bow left and right, and instantly suppressed the Cao army, the bed crossbow with a huge range, the existence of this weapon made the enemy frightened, and the sporadic screams continued to be released, in the face of amazing lethality, the Cao army was obviously very powerless, unable to effectively deal with long-range weapons, and it was difficult for Xiahoudun to open the gap at all.

Time passed minute by minute, Xiahoudun was anxious, the front commando was in danger, meaningless temptation, Xiahoudun did not dare to choose to sacrifice easily, he wanted to get off the horse, but he was exploited by the enemy, and the depression can be imagined.

On the other side, Cao Ying was in the water village, seeing such a passive situation, Cao Ying couldn't help frowning, the battle situation was unexpectedly passive, and he fell into passivity in an instant, how could Cao Ying not worry.

The battle situation is unfavorable, Cheng Yu also sees it clearly, in such a situation, Cheng Yu has no choice but to whisper: "Lord, it seems that it is very difficult to impact the enemy formation, it is better to resist the enemy with crossbow arrows!" ”

"Hey!" Cao Ying sighed, and said helplessly: "I understand, just do it, pass the order Xiahou Dun, I don't want to lose any more soldiers!" ”

Making such a decision also means giving up the assault team, which is difficult for Cao Ying, I wanted to try it, but now the result is that if you want to impact the enemy's huge fleet, there are obviously still problems, and before the broadside battle has started, I am afraid that it will be wiped out by the enemy.

In this way, it is impossible to carry out a frontboard battle at all, and the same problem is still the same problem, the range of Cao Jun's crossbow arrows is not enough, and it is difficult for Cao Jun to make a difference in the face of Menggo's absolute range advantage.

"General Xiahou, the lord has an order to resist the enemy with crossbow arrows!" The herald quickly conveyed the order.

"Bang!" Xiahoudun slammed his fist hard, seeing that the commando team in front was annihilated, Xiahoudun had no way, he really hated himself for being powerless.

Using the left-wing ships to contain most of the enemy's army and take the opportunity to eat the commando, Xu Huang fought this battle in an orderly and orderly manner, and the comprehensive suppression laid the foundation for this battle, and the broadside battle was launched.

"Hook throwing! Pull the boat for me! "As we approached the enemy ships, a new operation immediately began.

Throwing a hook to pull the boat, such a practice can bite the other party, as one of the common training, was quickly applied to actual combat.

Almost instantly, dozens of ropes were thrown, and the ships that tried to escape were held by them, and in an instant several ships surrounded them, and there was a faint shouting from the deck.

"One-two, pull, one-two, pull!" The enemy troops on the ship knew that the other side was going to start a broadside battle, but they had no choice, they would go up to death, and they might be able to survive hiding in the cabin.

The broadside battle went unexpectedly smoothly, and Mungo felt that it was too simple, in fact, after suppressing the enemy ships, the commandos had no chance, and the fate of being besieged and killed was already doomed.

Seeing that his side controlled the enemy ship, Meng Ge smiled and said, "Gongming, it seems that this commando team is finished!" ”

"Of course, but that's just the beginning!" Xu Huang's eyes were fixed on Shuizhai, and his appetite was obviously not small.

The local water army is not very good, Xu Huang has already noticed it, so there is more to look forward to in this battle, if you can cut off the water village by taking advantage of the situation, Beidu will not be a problem.
