Chapter Eighty-Five: Dividing the Troops to Lure the Enemy (I)

Xu Da saw that the soldiers under his command were excited, so he shouted with his arms: "What the soldiers said is that we are a dignified seven-foot man, how can we bow down to the Han army, and we will not rest without a battle." The river is so wide, it is an excellent battlefield, today we and the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang will fight to the death here, not giving up an inch of land, bravely killing the enemy, never retreating. ”

The soldiers under Xu Da's command also shouted loudly: "Fight to the death, don't give up an inch of land, fight bravely to kill the enemy, and never retreat." ”

As soon as Xu Da saw that the soldiers under his command were all encouraged by himself, he immediately pulled out the sword beside him, pointed to the warship of the Han army sailors under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang not far ahead, and shouted: "Brothers, don't let the enemy's soldiers be flattened, kill them with me, and throw these Han army sailors under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang into the river to feed the fish." ”

The sailors and soldiers of Yingtian have always been beaten by the Han army sailors under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang with their sturdy and abnormal warships, and they have no power to fight back.

Now that he heard that the marshal of his side ordered an attack on the place, he was naturally drenched in joy, and after shouting in unison for a while, he drove a group of warships to rush towards the warship of the Han army's naval division under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and the more anxious soldiers did not even bring shields, rushed to the bow of the ship with one arm bare, and danced with swords, just waiting for the two armies to fight, and immediately jumped over the enemy's warship to kill the enemy.

The wind direction was excellent, the castration of the ships was extremely fast, and after a while, the battlefield in the lead leaned to the side of the boat of the Han army sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, and Xu Da ordered his soldiers: "Shoot the enemy with arrows." ”

I only heard a string sound, many archers on many ships under Xu Da's command released arrows together, after a rain of arrows, I only saw some fallen soldiers on the battlefield on the enemy side, but the opponent seemed to have been prepared, only to see each enemy ship with an oil pot, a hula sound, many shield players will shield the shield in front of the wrestler who is smelting the iron lock, although the arrow rain is a lot of enemy soldiers, but for the most important wrestler is not damaged, after dodging the arrow rain, Those wrestlers still came out of their heads, and continued to clank and began to smash the locks.

Chu Liuyan turned out from behind Xu Da, opened his mouth to Xu Da and said: "Marshal, it seems that the enemy army has taken precautions and has already taken precautions, just by relying on archery, there is no self-help to stop the opponent, and there is no other way at the moment, only to send people to kill the enemy ship, kill the opponent's wrestlers, and damage the opponent's oil pot, so that the Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang can stop." Otherwise, I'm afraid things will go bad. ”

Xu Da also deeply agreed with Chu Liuyan's words, at present, the enemy army has damaged a Qianxun iron lock blocked by the Lanjiang River, if you ignore it, let the opponent hand one by one, the rest of the iron lock will also be difficult to escape fate, the most important thing at the moment is naturally to protect the remaining iron lock, if the iron lock can be protected, it can also be blocked by the Han army naval fleet under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang outside the Yingtian naval division camp, so that its powerful naval division is tied and useless. If the iron lock is lost, the Han army under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang is bound to be able to drive straight in, it seems that there is no need to scruple to show his hands and feet, at that time, the Ying Tian side of the water division will lose the last barrier, if the two armies are in the water division camp to fight, mixed together, not only the strength is not as good as others, even the shore artillery set on the shore is powerless, if the cannon is fired indiscriminately, it is bound to accidentally hurt Ying Tian Shui Shi's own people.

Regarding Chu Liuyan's judgment, Xu Da naturally agreed: "Chu Junshi's words are extremely true, although our army has shot and killed many Han army sailors under the command of Han King Chen Youliang, but if we don't break the enemy's method of destroying the iron lock, even if we can win his battle here, if we let it break the iron lock of the Hengjiang River, our army's sailor will definitely have to suffer a lot in the future." ”

Chu Liuyan nodded, and echoed Xu Da and said: "Marshal Xu is very worried, war is not just a victory for one time and one place, sometimes the victory of one city and one pool will miss a big event, the current situation is like this, Liuyan thinks that there is no need to care too much about winning this time, the important thing is to protect the iron lock thoroughly, so that the sailors and soldiers of our army have no worries, so that they can take care of the rest of the things." If this is not the purpose, I am afraid that even if I win the other party's journey today, I am afraid that the Han army sailors under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang will take advantage of the gap and enter the camp, which will be very disadvantageous to our sailors. ”

Xu Da naturally understood Chu Liuyan's meaning, Chu Liuyan's meaning was extremely concise, that is, he suggested that he might as well let go of the other Han army sailor fleet under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang for now, concentrate the firepower first, and take down the warships in the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang with the oil pot in one fell swoop. Only looking at Ying Tian's side of the water division camp dry angry.

Knowing the meaning of Chu Liuyan, Xu Da also felt that this method was really the most important task at the moment, if he could successfully destroy the oil pots and other things on these warships, he would not have to worry about the problem of the Han army's sailor commander under the command of Han King Chen Youliang driving straight into and attacking Yingtian's sailor camp.

"Raise the soup to stop boiling, it is better to draw money from the bottom of the kettle, what the Chu military division said is indeed a good policy, this marshal acted according to his intentions, hoping that this move could break the enemy's intentions in one fell swoop, but the enemy's escort fleet is extremely powerful, and our army's naval division is probably not an opponent, and we have to think of a way to dispatch the enemy's escort fleet, so as to successfully complete this matter. It's just that among the generals of our army's naval division, I don't know who can take on this important task. Xu Da said while frowning and thinking deeply.

Chu Liuyan saw that Xu Da was so hesitant and made a decision, knowing that this matter was very difficult, so he opened his mouth to Xu Da and took the initiative to ask: "If the general agrees, Liuyan is willing to lead a detachment to fight with the enemy's frigate ships, and use the opportunity to lure the enemy convoy away." At that time, the marshal could take advantage of his unpreparedness and launch a fierce attack and take down the opponent's fleet. ”

Xu Da raised his eyes in some surprise and looked at Chu Liuyan and said: "It's not that this commander can't trust the Chu military division, it's just that this surface battle doesn't have to be on the road, if the Chu military division has any mistakes, Xu Da is afraid that he will hold a grudge for life." If the Chu army division goes to war, it is really dangerous, the Han army sailor warship under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang is too powerful, and many of the capable generals who have been famous in our army's naval division for a long time have all been defeated under the Han army sailor warship under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang. ”

Chu Liuyan knew that Xu Da was so persuading himself, and he was also worried about his own safety, so he said to Xu Da: "What General Xu Da said is reasonable, but Chu Liuyan doesn't have the intention of desperately, he just wants to beat the other party's sailor generals, if he succeeds, he will never fight." What's more, during this period of time, when the Tianshui Division and the Han Army Naval Division under the command of the Han King Chen Youliang were fighting, Chu Liuyan was all watching from the sidelines, and he also realized some of the opponent's methods of using troops on the water, although Chu Liuyan knew that he could not easily defeat the opponent, but if he ran for his life, it was not a difficult thing to think about. Please rest assured that General Xu Da is this. ”

When Xu Da heard Chu Liuyan's words, he also felt quite reasonable, so he said earnestly to Chu Liuyan: "If the Chu army can send troops to lure the enemy, after the success, he will never fall in love with the war, go to avoid it wholeheartedly, and retreat to the water division camp, Ben Shuai will not be careful." ”

Chu Liuyan hurriedly took over the conversation and asked: "In this way, Xu Da, you promised me, no, marshal, you promised to divide one of my troops to lure the enemy." Chu Liuyan was happy in his heart, and he quickly called Xu Da's name for a while, but he immediately realized it, and felt that it was too ambiguous to call the boss by his name so directly above the battle array, so he hurriedly changed his words in order to remedy it.

But even so, a layer of blush still appeared on Chu Liuyan's petite and delicate face, which was very good-looking.
