Chapter 611: Naval Warfare

At this time, nearly a thousand ships were docked at the mouth of the three rivers, some of the Japanese were decorating the looted wealth, and boxes and boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were sent to the low and narrow cabins. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dongying's ships are different from Datang, and when it comes to shipbuilding technology, they can't be compared with Datang.

The long and narrow ships, with only one floor, are very simple compared to the Tang Dynasty ships.

Li Canghai did not come directly to the mouth of the three rivers to start a war with it.

After all, less than 2,000 of the more than 10,000 Fox troops who were good at naval warfare had died, and these 2,000 people were still the people he left to watch the ship, which did not make the Fox Army annihilated.

Although more than 40,000 Tang troops came by boat, most of them were land troops and were not good at naval warfare, while the Dongying Navy was different, although they had simple warships, they were extremely good at naval warfare.

Li Canghai did not rush to send troops, but personally went to observe the situation, and after seeing the arrangement of the ships of the Dongying Navy clearly, Li Canghai ordered someone to issue a challenge to the Dongying Navy.

In the tent, Li Canghai and the generals discussed the battle situation.

"General Su, in your opinion, how should the Dongying Navy respond?" Li Canghai touched his chin and asked.

Su Hai said in a deep voice: "According to the opinion of the last general, the Dongying ships are simple, and it is difficult to compete with our army in terms of combat effectiveness, so our army should directly charge with the fleet!" Kill him and flip on his back! ”

"There are many ships in the Dongying Navy, but I am afraid of charging, it is not an easy task!" Gao Xianzhi frowned.

"Although the ships of Dongying are simple, there are more than a thousand, and if they are connected, even if we charge with the fleet, we may not be able to break through their defenses." Feng Changqing also said.

Su Hai touched his chin and said, "This is not a difficult matter, I think that the formation of ships in the Dongying Navy is just the most simple array, and it is not difficult to break this formation." Our army has six major ships, mainly sea falcons, with fighting ships as wings, and concentrating on attacking the weakest point of its ship formation with a long snake formation, it can break its ship formation. ”

"General Su, you are familiar with naval warfare, in your opinion, what are the chances of winning with this method?" Li Canghai touched his chin and asked.

Su Hai thought for a while and said: "Although there are many ships in Dongying, they are relatively simple, and they can't withstand the impact at all, and the more than 400 ships of our army are not only solid, but also well-equipped, and the chance of victory should be more than seventy percent." ”

Li Canghai glanced at him, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then follow what General Su said." There is an unnamed island twenty miles from the mouth of the three rivers, and tomorrow I will personally lead a hundred ships to attract the enemy, and the remaining more than 300 ships will be led by General Su, entrenched behind the nameless island, and after the Dongying ships chase after them, I will act according to General Su's plan. ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised.

"Marshal, you are the commander of an army, you must not take any risks! If you want to attract the enemy, let the last general go! Gao Xianzhi said seriously.

"It is precisely because I am the generalissimo of the Eastern Crusade that I have enough weight to lure the big fish to the bait. As long as they are lured behind the Nameless Island, it will be the death of the Dongying Navy. ”

"But ......." Gao Xianzhi wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Canghai, and he said in a deep voice: "I know what General Gao wants to say, but this is the only way to save those enslaved people. We can use coercive means to directly kill the Dongying naval camp, but in that case, those enslaved people will meet with misfortune. ”

"Is the marshal trying to save those people?" Gao Xianzhi was a little surprised, they had gone to investigate the situation before, but they had never heard that he was going to save those people.

Li Canghai nodded heavily and said: "I have already informed them of the destruction of the Dongying two armies, and asked them to come to fight the victory, then the Dongying camp will be empty, General Gao, I will give you 2,000 soldiers and horses, I will take the opportunity to attack the Dongying camp and rescue all the people!" ”

"Marshal, rest assured! The last general will do his best! Gao Xianzhi clenched his hands into fists and said in a deep voice.

"Marshal, what should I do if the Dongying Turtle can't shrink out?" Su Hai frowned and said.

"They're going to fight." Li Canghai said deeply.

"Why is the marshal so sure?" Everyone was puzzled.

Li Canghai said lightly: "If they can't shrink out, how can they compete with my 100,000 elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty with only that small camp at the mouth of the Sanjiang River?" Fighting is their only way to live, if the generals can't even think of this, then what's the difference between them and pigs? ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed at the same time.

However, Su Hai still asked with some concern: "What if they fled overnight after hearing the news?" ”

Li Canghai sneered: "If they escape, wouldn't it be better if we just took advantage of the victory to chase and beat the water dogs with a stick?" ”

"What the marshal said is very true! This time, we must drive the Dongying Wokou back to Dongying's hometown! Su Hai's fists crackled, and he said angrily.

"In this case, the generals will return to their respective camps for the time being, repair overnight today, and tomorrow, it will be time to avenge the fallen Tang Dynasty soldiers!" Li Canghai said coldly.

After Gao Xianzhi and the others received the order, they all said goodbye and left.

Li Canghai also returned to the cabin and began to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's big battle.

But no one noticed the resentment in the eyes of a gray-haired old man outside the tent.

This person is none other than the deputy head of the supervising army.

Previously, because he was arrogant and tried to deal with Li Canghai, he was taught a lesson by Li Canghai and asked him to fight with the army.

In the first siege battle, he was thrown to the forefront by Li Canghai, but after all, he was the emperor's hand-appointed supervisor, Gao Xianzhi was also polite to him, and specially sent a few good men to protect him.

In the end, several of the good men who protected him all died, but the old eunuch survived.

Only later did everyone know that the old eunuch had escaped by pretending to be dead, which made everyone even more disgusted with him.

Although this old eunuch has no ability, but his life is surprisingly hard, he survived all the battles with the Dongying army in Jincheng, which has to be said to be a miracle.

After Li Canghai lost him to Gao Xianzhi, because there were too many things, he forgot that there was still this person.

Even Gao Xianzhi, Feng Changqing and others forgot about him, but this old eunuch couldn't forget Li Canghai's humiliation of him.

At that time, the defenders in the city were sharply reduced, and the old eunuch was also pulled into the battlefield, but he was lucky not to die, and followed Gao Xianzhi to the ship and became a guard, which made him unbearable.

The discussion of several people was clearly heard by him, which suddenly gave rise to a poisonous plan in his heart.

It was night, in a remote corner of the Tang military camp, the old eunuch was bent on his waist and hiding in a dim corner, as if waiting for something. (To be continued.) )
