Because there is no water division in Tibet, the Ming State has not deployed a corresponding naval army to Rongzhou, where the three rivers meet, so although this three rivers confluence is the land of the Ming State, it is actually in the boundary of the three rivers.

Now that commerce is thriving, too many ships meet here, and Gao Zhiping has already explored the terrain and water potential here, ready to start.

Gao Zhiping didn't wait anymore and hurriedly launched, because he knew that if he didn't do it here, the official ship of the first-class envoy group would turn around and go north into the territory of the Ming Kingdom, then he was afraid that he would have no chance of success.

The people selected by the 800-person assassination team are all indigenous tribes of Dali, if a few or even a dozen people enter the Ming Kingdom together, it is not an uncommon thing in the current period of prosperous commerce, but if 800 people enter, it will inevitably attract the attention of the state officials of the Ming Kingdom.

And under the surveillance of the Ming government, if you want to assassinate, I'm afraid it's the rafters begging for fish.

Therefore, Gao Zhiping must make a move when Duan Foyin's official ship turns north, and he must hit it with one blow, otherwise, there will be no chance to attack.

Gao Zhiping decided to launch an attack on the river.

For this purpose he prepared eighteen sampans, each of which was equipped with twelve crossbowmen and eight manoeuvres, which belonged to inland flat-bottomed boats and were known for their speed and agility as long as they were not exposed to wind and waves.

Gao Zhiping planned to use these eighteen sampans as the first wave of attacks, but this was a false idea, and the main intention was to stop Duan Foyin's official ship and prevent it from turning around and heading north to Chengdu Mansion.

But if the progress goes smoothly and the sampan can break through the shooting of the crossbowmen on the official ship, then it will turn fiction into reality. Attack the official ship with all your might.

Therefore, the arrows carried by the crossbowmen on the eighteen sampans were wrapped in strips of cloth soaked in fire oil. Even if the official ship is strong, the people on board can dodge the dense arrows. However, the official ship was large, but it could not dodge the arrows by itself.

The officer ship that was shot will eventually be ignited in a dense stream of rockets.

Therefore, this first wave of attacks is both virtual and real.

Even if the first wave of attacks failed, Gao Zhiping prepared a second wave of attacks.

The second wave of attacks was the attack at the bottom of the river, and Gao Zhiping selected one hundred and twenty people who were proficient in water from eight hundred people, put on water supports, and lurked in the river. Waiting for the arrival of the official ship.

Dali is a country with waterways, and the people are familiar with the water nature, and the water nature of these people can be imagined. Gao Zhiping still didn't want to give up Duan Foyin in his heart after all, and the result he wanted most was to catch Princess Foyin.

Men, especially those who have been pampered since childhood. The hardest thing for him to accept is not that he can't get what he wants. It's that he loses hope of getting it.

Gao Zhiping doesn't really love Princess Foyin now, but just to get it, even if he kills her with his own hands after capturing it, then Gao Zhiping will no longer have the pain he has now.

There are all kinds of birds in the world, not so much that Gao Zhiping is perverted, but that the world is getting worse and the people's hearts are not ancient.

Dynasties and dynasties, whether it is the royal family or ordinary people. There have always been many such people.

In the plan, if the first wave of attacks is successful. Then the task of these 120 people is to try to capture Duan Foyin and take him captive. But if the first wave of attacks fails, then these one hundred and twenty people will take over the first wave and attack from underwater.

The one hundred and twenty men were armed with only one small crossbow, and their main weapon was an iron chisel, which was used to chisel through the bottom of the ship.

Although the official ship is tall and sturdy, the weapons it carries are not only bows and crossbows, but also swords and armor, and it is impossible to deter the enemy under the water, which is why Gao Zhiping believes that the second wave of attacks is the safest.

But Gao Zhiping was still not at ease, and he added another layer of insurance to this assassination.

That's the third wave of attacks.

The first wave of attacks was mainly to attract the fire of the crossbowmen on the official ships and take advantage of the weakness; The second wave of attacks is to break them up and attack them unprepared; And the third wave of attacks is "frank and seeing".

Gao Zhiping selected sixteen dead soldiers to drive four small sampans, which were loaded with a large amount of firewood, grass and wood soaked in fire oil, and if the first two waves of attacks failed, then these four small sampans would rush towards the official ship under the full strength of the dead soldiers.

Due to the speed of the small sampan and the fact that it was loaded with firewood, grass and wood, which were large but lightweight, flammable materials, it would be impossible for the ship to escape from the sampan's pursuit.

The firewood, grass and timber loaded on the sampan will be a very good cover, which can completely resist the arrows fired by the official ship, as long as the dead man is bent on ramming, the official ship will not be able to escape from this suicidal attack under any circumstances.

Gao Zhiping is undoubtedly a talent, and the person who can arrange these three waves of attacks is by no means a fool, not only is he not a fool, but he is also a smart person.

But smart people have two common shortcomings.

One is conceit; The second is fear of death.

This is not idealism, but truth.

Because smart people are conceited, they tend to die early when they meet a smarter person.

Therefore, in order to live longer, smart people can only fear death.

The so-called "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" is the best way for smart people to come up with the best words for their fear of death.

Gao Zhiping is afraid of death, so he wants others to die, not himself.

After arranging this qiē, he retreated westward with the remaining 300 men, and ambushed at a narrow place on the Jinsha River, sixty miles from the Rongzhou ambush point, ready to attack.

Smart people always have unforeseen ideas.

Gao Zhiping's move is called "striking the grass and startling the snake", and it can also be called "leading the snake out".

Since the Rongzhou ambush was the first and last assassination, for the envoy group who wanted to rush to Jinling Mansion immediately, even if they knew that the road ahead was a dead end, they could only break through.

If he returns in vain, it will inevitably turn Duan Sicong's will into a lie, and the clan leaders who have just changed their stance are likely to change their sides again.

Dali Mansion and Jinling Mansion are too far apart, as long as the envoy group and Princess Foyin can't get to Jinling Mansion, then it is inevitable that the Ming Kingdom will not be able to change the plan that has been set, that is to say, the Gao family still has a chance.

Gao Zhiping took the lead in attacking sixty miles west of the Rongzhou ambush point for another purpose, that is, to confuse the envoy group.

With the wise Duan Foyin here, he would definitely have thought that Gao Fang would send someone to prevent the envoy group from going to the Ming Kingdom.

Then the envoy group must be on guard along the way.

Only a failed attack could dispel the vigilance in the hearts of Duan Foyin and the envoy group, so as to lay a surprising foundation for the Rongzhou ambush.

Gao Zhiping is undoubtedly a genius, and he can grasp human nature so well in his weak crown years, which can be said to be unintelligent.

But what he didn't expect was that although Duan Foyin was younger than him, his grasp of human nature was not below him, and even surpassed it. (To be continued......)
