339. The most critical question
Hearing the idea that I am going to attack the pirates of the Hanhai, He Shan is also very positive. The humiliation that the pirates of the Hanhai brought to the Aolai Navy Army, and He Shan did not think about washing it away for a day. But as the commander of the navy, he has always been trapped in the combat strength of the navy. Before I came, the navy was able to protect itself, which was very good in He Shan's opinion. And Ao Laiguo is the lord of the country, and he has the same mind as He Shan.
Every time the Aolai Navy attacked, the first thing that came to mind was not how to protect the coast, but how to protect the Navy. It is common practice to be able to mobilize the navy as far away as possible, or simply let the navy go ashore and become an army.
Don't say it, once the navy goes ashore, it can burst out with powerful combat effectiveness, and often achieves brilliant results on the shore. So later, the pirates of the Hanhai also learned wisely, as long as there is a place where there is an army, whether it is an army or a navy, they will not go ashore. But their ships still swaggered in the sea. Even if there is a navy around them, they still come and go freely, as if the Aolai navy is here to escort them.
And now, the Aolai Navy has undergone a qualitative change. He Shan felt that it was time for revenge. And after calling Pippen and Ludin over to discuss, they were also very supportive. After all, everyone is from the army, and they used to show off their might on land, but now they are shrinking their heads in the navy, which seriously hurts the self-esteem of these navy generals. Everyone needs a win too much.
In view of the fact that the Aolai Navy is very good, the pirates of the Hanhai have never hidden their whereabouts, which is convenient for He Shan to send spy ships. These ships were disguised as ships that were doing business with the pirates of the Hanhai Sea, and they were never inspected by the Hanhai pirates. So now, every move of the Hanhai pirates is basically under He Shan's control. Even He Shan sent an undercover agent, which was found in the lair of the pirates of the Hanhai Sea, South Island and North Island.
With this detailed information, the next combat arrangements will be very convenient. The entire pirates of the sea are equivalent to being undefended, and we can arrange all the details of the war as well as possible to achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost.
After careful research, I decided on a strategy of first destroying a small group of pirates, and then attracting the main force of pirates to the sea, and annihilating their main force in one fell swoop on the preset battlefield of our army. And this plan is also very well completed, because there is currently a pirate of Cao Shuai's army attacking a small island in the northeast of Aolai. This small island is also a pirate, but this group of pirates is relatively small, and there is only one health department.
The first thing our army has to do is to eliminate this Cao Shuai, and then take this small island where a small group of pirates are entrenched. Use this small island as the rear to fight the final battle. He Shan and the others had no opinion on this plan, so they implemented it.
However, at this time, I suddenly remembered the most critical question, that is, how the Proud Sailor Army of the former General Staff Department failed in front of pirates. If this problem is not clear, don't look at the fact that these sailors have been reborn and trained, and maybe they will repeat the mistakes of the past when the time comes. Hearing me ask this question, He Shan couldn't help but look solemn. In fact, he is not clear about this question. Not only him, but also Pippen and Luding, almost all the generals of the navy army are not clear.
After all, in that battle, almost all the Aolai Navy troops were martyred, and none of the senior generals died, and only a few small soldiers escaped. If I hadn't brought up this issue, He Shan and the others wouldn't have realized the importance of this issue at all. In their opinion, the reason for the failure is that there is not enough training and insufficient strength. Now that the training has gone up, and the strength has also gone up, it is natural to be able to catch it.
I couldn't help but be glad that I thought about it. Otherwise, if you drag the navy out to fight, you don't know how miserable you will die when the time comes. To solve this problem, of course, you have to find the creeps who escaped. Only they knew what was happening at that time.
Soon, these veterans who had fought in the war were recovered. The Aolai Navy lost the battle, and the goal they hoped for to be promoted and wealthy did not achieve their goals, and they were discriminated against by the recruits, believing that it was their incompetence that led to the defeat of the water war. So when these veterans entered the tent, they all drooped their heads, thinking that another round of struggle against them was about to begin.
But when I kindly asked them to sit down, their apprehension finally eased a little. As they sat down, I suddenly stood up, walked up to them, and bowed deeply to them. The veterans immediately fell into a panic, and one by one they all stood up, helpless.
I raised my hand and motioned for them to sit down, and said, "Veterans, I thank you here on behalf of the lord. Although you suffered defeat, none of you escaped, and returned to the navy without hesitation. This is the soul of our Proud Water Army. It is precisely because of you that the Aolai Navy will never be defeated. ”
The veterans' eyes suddenly moistened. How many times have I been wronged and helpless, how many times I thought that I would live with regrets in this life, but today, I finally said what was in their hearts. There is finally hope for a desperate life.
At this time, a veteran said impassionedly: "As a soldier of Aolai, we live for the country and die for the country." Generously dying is for the country, and fleeing and returning is also for the country. If the general can give us another chance, we will rush forward again without hesitation, either to accompany our deceased comrades, or to return triumphantly, or to flee back again aggrieved. Being a soldier in this life is our fate. ”
He Shan was first moved. I think how much he, like everyone else, despised these veterans. In his eyes, these veterans are deserters, everyone else is dead, but they are the only ones who are alive. He was ashamed of them. But today, he knew he was wrong. Couldn't be more wrong.
So He Shan bowed his hand to the veterans, and said solemnly: "Veterans, you have been wronged. It's all my fault. I used to look at you with prejudice like all recruits, and now I know that you are brave and qualified soldiers. Now, the country will need you again, are you willing to contribute to the country? ”
All the veterans stood up and said in unison: "Bloody battle, death is enough." ”
I laughed, "Good. There are many opportunities to die in the service of the country. However, you don't need to die right now, you just need to serve. From today onwards, you are my pro-army. I will keep you with me and ask for advice at any time. If you can fight, if you can, don't die, we should let ourselves live and let the enemy die, right? ”
All the veterans laughed. He Shan, Pippen, and Lu Ding also laughed. I only listened to He Shandao: "Everyone, this Second General Xiong is from the Han Dynasty, and he is currently the head of the naval army and the head of the army, follow General Xiong, I believe you will be able to realize your wishes." But before that, we came to you today to find out how the battle was lost. Why was a naval army of the Commander's Department annihilated by a pirate of the Tooth Commander's Department? We're going to attack the pirates, and we don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”
At this time, the previously impassioned veteran stood up, but now his face changed to worry: "Generals, these comrades-in-arms and I are worried about this issue. Originally, I came here this time to take advantage of the opportunity to meet the generals even if I died, but now it seems that the generals are taking this issue very seriously. So I would like to say that at the moment it is not yet suitable to attack pirates. ”
The faces of He Shan and the others changed greatly. This opportunity has been waited for for a long time, and now this veteran has come to pour cold water. If it weren't for the fact that he had become one of mine, I'm afraid this guy would have gone berserk. But even so, the face is not very good now. But with me, they can't be arbitrary, so they have to look at me.
And I nodded secretly in my heart. This veteran is available. Absolutely good seedlings. Wait for all the veterans, and he will be in charge.
At this point, I was already laughing and saying, "Good." Fighting a war is your head, you are good at thinking about problems, and you deserve encouragement. Tell us why we don't fit in to attack pirates. Is it because we are not well prepared? ”
The veteran nodded: "General Hui, although our army is well-trained now, the combat effectiveness of the pirates is very strong. At that time, they rushed into our ship formation, first fired intensively with bows and arrows, so that almost all of our front team died under the arrows, and then sent a large number of pirates with high martial arts to walk on the ground on the ship, and kill anyone they saw. Several ships were killed by them in a row, and the others were immediately frightened, and all ships quickly distanced themselves from the pirates. But the pirates drove in, and the more our troops tried to distance themselves, the closer they became.
All the ships collided together, and half of them sank into the sea when their own ships collided. Then the pirates continued to attack everywhere, eventually paralyzing the entire fleet. It was a tragedy, and almost all the comrades-in-arms were slaughtered by them while standing, and they had no power to fight back. And those of us, because the enemy ships were not on our side, found that the overall situation had been decided, and did not want to sacrifice needlessly, so we had to desperately flee back from the battlefield.
Many of the ships that escaped with us were pursued by pirates and were buried at the bottom of the sea. That battle was miserable. ”
I nodded, "I see what you mean." There are two issues that must be addressed. One is the dense bow attack of the pirates. There is also a powerful melee to block the pirates. In fact, the problem of melee combat is easy to solve, and the forbidden army I brought over this time has good melee ability. Moreover, the newly formed naval army, in terms of melee combat, because it comes from the army, is also a good hand.
The only thing that needs to be solved now is the problem of dense bows and arrows. This problem is easy to solve, and I also have strong archers in my forbidden army. Now that they are adapted to water warfare, they can be put at the forefront. Everyone attacked with a dense array of bows and arrows. Fight remotely, that's my bear two's forte. Fortunately, both of these issues can be solved. Are there any other issues that need to be addressed? ”
He Shan Pippen Luding smiled as he listened to me. And the veterans listened to it and gradually danced with their eyebrows. They still know the strength of the forbidden army, especially the bow and arrow and melee combat of the forbidden army. Now that I've brought the Forbidden Army, this battle should never happen again.
The veteran nodded: "Since General Xiong Er has made full preparations, then this battle can be fought." When the time comes, if the general has a chance, please let me wait to rush to the front. ”
I shook my head: "You are the baby bumps of the water army." Veteran, you've almost fought before, and I don't want you to die in a fight. When the time comes, it depends on the situation, and if it is convenient, you will be allowed to go. But most of the time there is no such opportunity, it is a soldier who has to obey orders, do you listen to me? ”
All the veterans were a little disappointed, but they still said loudly: "But according to the general's orders." ”
