Chapter 392: A Failed Surprise Attack
In fact, the water war is really boring, or this water war is boring.
Because they did not have the heart of hand-to-hand combat, Song Qian and Jia Hua did not approach the opponent's fleet at all, and if the other party took the initiative to attack, they slowly retreated. It's just a lifeless launch of arrows, giant crossbows, small catapults, etc., trying to inflict a blow on the opponent.
But in fact, it was thunder and rain, and on such a night, the line of sight was not good, and the two sides were separated by such a large distance, and the hit rate was not ordinarily bad. Occasionally, those that do hit are often blocked by the ship's dodges, unable to inflict effective damage. Of course, this is exactly the purpose of this battle, so although it was very boring, Wang Xu still watched it quietly.
Cai Mao and Zhang Yun on the other side couldn't stop laughing at the moment.
Zhang Yundao: "Brother Cai! It seems that everyone's expectations are good, this Jingnan's move is a feint attack at all. Otherwise, it means that the other party really doesn't have people who know how to fight in water, and if you fight like this, you can't form an effective attack at all, it's a pity that there are so many materials! β
"Huh!" Hearing this, the corners of Cai Mao's mouth also showed a hint of a smile, and she said approvingly: "Yes, in fact, whether it is a plan or not, Jingnan's naval army is really not my enemy." That Wang Xubu can be a hero in battle, but in this water, he can't help it! β
"Hahaha!" After saying this, the two looked at each other, and they both laughed wildly.
The boring war is still going on, and before I know it, two hours have passed, and if it weren't for the importance of the matter, I am afraid that some accident would have been withdrawn long ago.
Looking at the intermittent shooting in front of him, Wang Xu, who was still standing, couldn't help but chatter to himself: "It's almost there." β
As he spoke, he glanced up at the stars in the sky, estimated that it was almost the eve of dawn, and couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, please go and inform Song Qian and tell him to withdraw!" There is really no point in continuing to fight like this, and I think that tomorrow we will have to fight in a white-knuckle battle, and if we continue to fight in this way, it will make the other party suspicious. This water war. Our experience is really too little. greatly affected the implementation of the program. β
"Hey!" Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and sighed, didn't say much, and turned around and left. He doesn't know much about this either, but he has never eaten pork and has always seen a pig run, and he has never seen a pig run, at least he has heard of it. This kind of child's play is not like war at all. It's like throwing money to play, all that is consumed is supplies, and it doesn't do anything.
In fact, Song Qian knew from the beginning that this would be the end, but Wang Xu and Guo Jia jointly ordered this, and they didn't explain what they were going to do, so he also thought he had other plans. 1. But now in the battle, he also understood a little, and when he heard the order passed by Zhao Yun, he was relieved, shook his head helplessly, and did not hesitate to command the soldiers to retreat quickly......
Returning to the barracks in silence, Wang Xu didn't say a word, and gathered the generals as soon as possible.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Fight tonight. Except for Han Meng, Zhou Zhi, and Zhang Jing, who stayed behind, the rest went. I guess there are some problems. After pacifying Jingbei this time, I hope that everyone will take advantage of the time to recuperate and have a good understanding of water warfare, not to mention proficient, but at least have a regular in-depth understanding. β
"No!" The faces of the generals were also a little embarrassed, most of them were born in the grass, and some military books can still be found to read, but the tactics of water warfare are not common.
Wang Xu sighed, and didn't want to say more, everyone has their own strengths, and it is not appropriate to complain about them. It's just that I really have a deep thirst for talents who are good at water warfare, and I secretly said in my heart: I can't say that I have a chance, I should go down to Jiangdong again, if I don't dig up a few water army generals to come over, it is really worrying.
"Song Qian!"
"In!"
"In your opinion, how can a feint attack in a water war be similar to a real offensive?"
When Song Qian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react, and he said with a smile: "Feint? β
"Hmm!" Wang Xu didn't know why, but still nodded.
"Lord, this ......" Song Qian hesitated suddenly, and he really didn't know what to say.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!" Wang Xu frowned.
Seeing Wang Xu asking, Song Qian looked at his face, and it was not easy to continue to hide it, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, where is there any feint attack in the water war?" Even if there were, it would not be possible to make a real offensive so sharp that it is easy to see. Because the battleship cannot be compared with the non-soldier, it moves slowly, and engagement is engagement, and avoiding battle is avoiding battle, which can be seen at a glance. If the battleship can be like infantry and cavalry, then it may really be invincible! β
"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, then understood the truth, and smiled awkwardly: "This ...... I can't believe that this is the case. β
Guo Jia, who was sitting on the left, also blushed a little when he heard this, the idea was from him, and this ugliness was not ordinary.
But now is not the time to care about these after all, Wang Xu quickly adjusted his mentality, and said with a solemn face: "That means that if the naval army wants to achieve the same effect as a feint, it must fight head-on?" β
"Hmm!" Song Qian nodded affirmatively. "Yes, my lord! Water warfare does. However, under normal circumstances, it is not easy to have a major rout, as long as you are careful and do not be annihilated, even if you are weaker, you can still preserve your strength. β
The words "...... Huh" made Wang Xu breathe a sigh of relief, if he fought hard to complete the naval army he had worked so hard to build, it would really be worth the loss.
After pondering for a long time, he said solemnly: "That's good, Song Qian!" I'm going to give you a task now, and from tomorrow onwards, every day you have to organize a storm, and you have to make a gesture of imperativeness. Even if there are some losses, it doesn't matter, as long as you can make the other person believe it. Can it be done? β
Song Qian smiled calmly and said affirmatively: "I will not disgrace my life!" β
"Good! That ......"
As he spoke, an anxious yell suddenly came from outside the tent, interrupting it. "Report! Report ......"
This prolonged shout instantly attracted everyone's attention, and they couldn't help but look outside the big tent door.
A moment later, the soldier arrived outside the tent of the Chinese army.
"Stop!" The soldiers outside the tent waved their long guns and struck each other together, blocking the way of the comers.
The young general didn't have time to pay attention to this, and anxiously shouted into the tent: "General, the last general is on the order of General Gao, come to deliver the news!" β
"Oh?" Hearing that it was Gao Shun from his side, Wang Xu's face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help but look at Guo Jia and said: "Hehe, Fengxiao, it must be Gao Shun who came to report the victory, I didn't expect it to be so fast!" β
Guo Jia also nodded with a smile.
"Let him in!" Wang Xu quickly shouted at the guards outside the tent.
"No!" Hearing this, the two guards didn't say a word, and directly stood up.
The soldier was not slow, and immediately rushed in, until he was three meters away from Wang Xu, he suddenly knelt down on one knee and said anxiously: "General Qiqi, last night we attacked Jiangling, and our army was ambushed by Wu Ju and Wen Ping. After General Gao led his troops to swear to the death, the soldiers successfully withdrew to Yidao, but the losses were great. β
With the words, the smile on Wang Xu's face became more and more stiff, and the appearance was as ugly as it was.
After a long moment of silence, he took a deep breath and said with a little annoyance, "What's going on?" β
The young general didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately replied: "Report to the general, not long after nightfall yesterday, General Gao Shun sent troops as originally planned and landed in Zhangshui. But on the way to Jiangling, they were ambushed by Wu Ju and Wen Ping one after another, and the brothers didn't know why, so they retreated in a hurry! β
Guo Jia's face was not very good-looking, but when he heard this, he calmed down and waved his hand: "Okay, the lord already knows, you go down to rest first!" β
"No!"
Watching the young general leave, Guo Jiacai couldn't help but sigh: "Hey! It seems that the upstream has been seen through by the other party, and now we can only hope that General Zhang can make some gains. β
"Yes! If Wen Yuan doesn't make any achievements, then this time we can't say, we really have to withdraw our troops! β
After speaking, Wang Xu couldn't help but slowly close his eyes, and was silent for a moment before he suddenly opened them and shot a stern look. "But no matter what, now we must do our best to create conditions for Wenyuan. Let's all go down first, put the soldiers in order, and be ready at any time! β
"No!" Although the generals didn't know why, and they didn't understand what Wang Xu and Guo Jia were saying, they also knew that there must be some plan. But he didn't ask much, answered in unison, got up and withdrew from the big tent, only Chen Deng and Guo Jia stayed.
It wasn't until everyone walked out that Guo Jia suddenly showed an anxious look. "Lord, the surprise attack on Jiangling failed, and it is nothing for the time being, but it will soon make him suspicious, if he does not make a move, General Zhang is also very dangerous."
Chen Deng, who knew about it, also sighed: "Yes, General Gao's troops retreated, and they will definitely not be able to organize an attack in a few days." Therefore, Liu BiaoxiΓ n is equivalent to saying that he bites us back, and with this incident, it will also make him suspicious, and he can guess the cause and effect if he can't say it, or strictly investigate. Once exposed, General Zhang was surrounded in Liu Biao's territory, and I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck. β
In fact, Wang Xu was also shocked, and he didn't show it just now, but he just didn't want the generals to worry and shake the morale of the army. Hearing the words of the two at this moment, he couldn't help frowning and said: "But what should I do now, the shape is already like this, a head-on duel, and the time is not ripe, even if it costs anything, it is difficult to make achievements!" β
Hearing this, Guo Jia took a deep breath and said firmly and resolutely: "Lord, according to his subordinates, I can't control so much, attack!" The real attack, the attack at any cost, once a day, with the real impact to give Liu Biao enough pressure so that he has no time to think about other things. The navy can be rebuilt if it is gone, but if this opportunity is lost, it will be more difficult to cut down Liu Biao in the future, and it will even affect the plan to pacify the world. β
Chen Deng also immediately agreed, and echoed: "Fengxiao's words are good, lord, fight!" If you don't give it a go, there will only be greater sacrifices in the future! β
Although Wang Xu felt very sorry for his soldiers, he was not a woman's kindness, and after thinking about it seriously, he also gritted his teeth violently, and his eyes showed a trace of determination. "Okay, hit!" (To be continued.) )
