Huangqi Town, Qi Jiguang's Chinese army camp.

It is said to be a town, in fact, it is a 100-meter-long street, the streets are paved with bluestone, and the houses on both sides are also very low, all made of stones, like a bunker, a typical Fujian coastal architectural style.

Because the house is small, the generals of the army sit in it, and it looks extremely crowded.

"The weather is very bad, and it's summer, so I'm afraid of hurricanes, so I'm afraid that there will be many variables in this battle." Looking at the sky outside, Qi Jiguang looked a little worried.

Unlike the middle and lower rank officers of the same army, who are full of fighting spirit like Bai Chang, the senior officers are very solemn.

Sitting in the hall of the Chinese Army, when they heard Qi Jiguang's words, they all nodded at the same time.

Wu Jie came to Qi Jiguang's army this time, and tried his best to promote the holding of this battle, although he did not understand military affairs, he also knew the importance of morale.

He smiled: "What's the matter, everyone's situation doesn't seem to be too high, but I'm afraid of the Japanese on the island." They are only more than 1,000 mothers, and we have more than 10,000 people, pushing them all the way, pushing them to death? ”

Song Jianjun sighed: "Even so, the widows on this island are very difficult. I've been dealing with them for so many years, and even I, who don't lead soldiers, know where they come from. I heard that this group of people came from an island called Kyushu, which is the poorest place for the Japanese and the people are fierce. The so-called poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and they are also extremely fierce when they start a war. ”

"Oh, it's from Kyushu Island, and I've heard of it." Wu Jie nodded, whether the Japanese army is ancient or modern, Kyushu and Kwantung in the northeast are all areas that produce elite soldiers.

Qi Jiguang interjected slowly, and said: "These more than 1,000 Japanese are all real Japanese and have extremely strong combat effectiveness, and they have all seen bloody battles, and the most important thing is that they have taken advantage of the territory. ”

Walking to the wall, he pointed to a map on the wall: "Ladies and gentlemen, look, the Japanese are entrenched on Hengyu Island. This place is no more than three miles from the narrowest part of the coast, and it is all shallow, if you use a boat. I'm afraid I'm going to run aground. Therefore, the battle could only be solved with infantry. The problem is that there is a strange thing about this beach, the tide recedes every morning. The deepest part of the water is not up to the knee, and you can wade through the water and attack the enemy's camp directly. The problem is that this tidal flat is full of silt, and as soon as people walk up to it, they will be trapped and beaten passively. into the evening. As soon as the tide rises, there is no way to fight. From low tide to high tide, there are only four hours. It is difficult to solve the geographical position of the Japanese in four hours. ”

He sighed: "It is precisely because of this geographical advantage that the governor of Fujian has used troops against Hengyu in the past three years. The total number of troops sent was no less than 50,000, but all of them were undefeated. Not only that, but even Funing and other county towns were destroyed by the revenge of the Japanese invaders. So. The key to this battle lies in a fast word. Sending all the troops to the island in time in four hours is a key thing worth considering. ”

"Four hours, impossible. The Japanese are not fools, and they will not stay there and watch our army cross the water. ”

"Looks like there's still a cannon on the island."

"When the time comes, our army will be stuck in the mud, and the Japanese will come back to fight back, and things will be in trouble."

"Even if we don't fight back, constantly harassed with artillery, firecrackers, and bows and arrows, our army will not be able to rush forward in passive beatings and still maintain strong morale."

The first thing the senior generals in the army did when they came to the battlefield was to survey the terrain, and they already knew the surrounding terrain, and they all felt that this was a bone that was not easy to gnaw.

"It's all quiet." Seeing that the commotion below is really not like words. Eunuch Song coughed, and everyone finally quieted down.

Qi Jiguang said: "The opinions of the generals have been heard, the army has already driven to the battlefield, there are conditions to go up, there are no conditions to go up, how can there be a reason to retreat from the battle." The key key is how to get through the three-mile mudflat, which is full of silt. Let's discuss again how to use to keep the soldiers from falling into the mud when they charge. So, everyone used their brains and began to come up with ideas.

Some people say that to build pontoon bridges, they simply drive a few pontoon bridges on the tidal flats and connect them directly to the island.

Soon the idea was rejected, and it was not impossible to build a bridge. The problem is that it takes too much time, and I can't find that much material at one time. And the Japanese are not stupid, seeing you make such a big disturbance on the beach, they will definitely send troops out to harass them. With just one charge, you can release your ducks.

Some people say that they simply fill pockets full of mud, but this opinion is even more unreliable, and there are simply not so many pockets to be found. Besides, how big a project is it to fill in the three-mile long road?

Hearing everyone's different opinions, Qi Jiguang's face was even more worried, and he obviously couldn't think of a good way.

Wu Jie had already read the record of the Battle of Hengyu in the history books, although there were only two sentences in the history books, but Qi Jiguang led his troops through this tidal flat, but he said it clearly.

At that moment, Wu Jie laughed: "This matter is easy, you have been talking for a long time, and you have forgotten a quick word." No matter what method you think, when the four hours come and the tide rises, it will be in vain. ”

When everyone heard Wu Jie say this, they all knew that Zhuangyuan Gong had paid attention, and his face was full of joy.

Wu Jie: "When the war starts, let the soldiers each carry a bundle of straw and spread it on the mud as they walk, as long as they can stand people." More than 10,000 people, more than 10,000 bales of grass, isn't it enough to spread on the island? ”

"Good!" Everyone thought about it, and shouted at the same time.

Qi Jiguang was also overjoyed, and slapped it on the table: "Sure enough, it's the champion Gong, Lord Wu is really reincarnated, I think this method will work." ”

Seeing everyone's reverent gaze, Wu Jie felt a little proud in his heart. In fact, this method was originally thought up by Qi Jiguang later, but Wu Jie said it one step in advance, which naturally corrected Qi Jiguang's thoughts.

Qi Jiguang stood up suddenly: "This plan is brilliant, the generals listened to the order and immediately sent auxiliaries and people to collect straw." General Ben also went to harass the local government and asked them to help collect firewood and grass. I will give you two days, early in the morning after tomorrow, and attack immediately after the tide has receded. ”

"Yes!" All the generals stood up and gave up their hands.

At this time, there was a rustling sound outside, and when I looked up, it was raining.

Someone frowned and said: "Qi Shuai, this weather is not very good, I'm afraid that there will be strong winds and waves on the sea." ”

Qi Jiguang laughed: "Isn't this good, there are big waves on the sea, and the widows on the island can't go to sea, and they happen to be annihilated by me, God really helps me!" ”

"Haha!" Everyone also burst into laughter and morale was uplifted.

Next, each will bring his own men and horses to collect straw. Qi Jiguang also went to the Zhizhou of Funing Prefecture for help.

Only Wu Jie and the Song eunuchs were left in the army.

By the afternoon of the second day, the straw of the various armies was almost ready, and they came back one after another, but Qi Jiguang had not yet returned.

Wu Jie and Eunuch Song were in the middle of the total number of the Chinese army, but they heard someone outside report from outside: "Lord Yu, the supervising army, the governor of Zhejiang, Yamen, has an urgent military order to arrive, and the messenger said that he would meet Master Wu in person." ”

"Who's coming?" Wu Jie had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"The envoy is Lord Luo Long Wenluo."

Wu Jie took a breath of cold air, and immediately understood that this was here to make trouble, and this birdman was a-stirring stick. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
