Chapter 498: The Offensive Plan of the Eastern Wu Naval Army

Zhuge Wang continued: "After the enemy in ambush in this reed swing attacked, the enemy in this and this tributary on the south bank should attack next, because according to the reconnaissance results of the hot air balloon, these two tributaries are hiding small boats. ”

Zhuge Wang used the bamboo in his hand to point to the two tributaries on the south bank of the map and continued, "The enemy will definitely attack us in a scattered formation with a large number of small ships at the beginning. Because this can attract our firepower and also consume a lot of our ammunition. ”

"When these cannon fodder have almost exhausted our ammunition, large and medium-sized warships hidden in these places will rush out and launch a full-scale attack on our fleet." Zhuge Wang tapped the tributaries and lakes on the north shore a few more times with the bamboo in his hand, and continued to talk eloquently, as if the battle plan of the Eastern Wu Navy was formulated by him.

"It seems that there are capable people in the Dongwu naval army, who can find such an excellent ambush terrain and formulate such a battle plan. This is simply an ambush on all sides, and if we hadn't scouted their arrangements in advance, I'm afraid we would have really caught their way. Wang Fu said with emotion.

"Hmph, what a capable person, it must be Lu Xun's sinister villain who would come up with such a conspiracy." Guan Gong hated the authentic. For Lu Xun, Guan Gong hated it to the core, it was this guy who designed to copy his nest back then, and he lost his reputation for the rest of his life, if it wasn't for his good son-in-law and little emperor who rescued him in time, maybe he would have even confessed to this old life.

Guan Gong guessed well, this poisonous plan was formulated by Lu Xun, and he resolutely made the Dongwu Navy give up the long-running camp, and there was also the idea of making Guan Gong proud. He knew Guan Gong very well and knew that this person was an arrogant person, so he wanted to implement the arrogant tactics to make Guan Gong have the illusion that the Dongwu people had been frightened and abandoned the camp and fled, so as to relax their vigilance, and then advance lightly.

Then he carefully selected this terrain and ambushed all the sailors here, intending to make a final desperate fight. His calculations were indeed very good, and he would have succeeded with any other troops.

It's a pity that he didn't calculate three things: first, after Guan Gong was hit, his personality has changed, although he is still proud, he will not go his own way; Second, the reconnaissance capability of the Han army far exceeded the level of this era, and the integrated reconnaissance method of ground and air made their arrangements clear; Third, the Jingzhou Navy has a staff department, and he has already deduced his conspiracy and tricks.

In fact, Zhuge Wang seemed to be talking about it, but the things he stated were almost eighty percent similar to Lu Xun's original attack plan. The ability shown by him and his staff can definitely make most of the military advisers in the world feel ashamed. Many people present were sighing that the Zhuge family had another demonic genius.

Zhuge Wang said again: "Don't underestimate this trick of the Dongwu people, although our ship is strong and sharp, but if we are not careful, we will capsize in the gutter." ”

Guan Gong said disdainfully: "I'm afraid that he will do something, most of our ships are cement ships, and water and fire are inviolable, and their fire attacks are ineffective at all." When the time comes, we will put the few wooden ships in the middle to protect them, the cement ships on the periphery, and the twelve large cement warships on the outermost periphery.

If they send out small boats to attack and disturb, let the fire ~ spearmen stand on both sides of the ship to shoot them in a row, and if they dispatch medium and large warships, they will bombard them with Keqiu killing, and I will see how many of them are dead and how many ships are destroyed. ”

"The subordinates think that this matter is by no means so simple, and the general must not take it lightly. The terrain here is too special, and the place where the Soochow naval army is ambushed is too close to the river, which also means that the distance they charge is very short. There was also a short time left for us to shoot.

If you didn't know it before, you were caught off guard, and it was very likely that you would be rushed close by them. Even if we knew in advance and were ready to fire, there was still a certain chance that they would be able to rush over.

You must know that there are a lot of these small boats, three or five people can operate a small boat, tens of thousands of horses, how many small boats must there be. At that time, there will be boats scattered all over the river, and even if so many boats are let the fire~ gunners fight, they won't be able to finish in a short time.

If they can desperately consume a batch of cannon fodder, they may not be able to break through our barrage and rush over for hand-to-hand combat. What's more, these small boats can also be properly protected, didn't they have a kind of tower shield covered with iron sheet before?

If they had put a shield like this on the bow of the ship, they would be able to block most of the bullets, and they would be able to row safely behind the shield and the chances of them succeeding would have increased their chances of making a successful dash. ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces changed, although they didn't want to admit it, but everyone knew that this was a very likely thing to happen. The people of Dongwu are not fools, they know that they have fire~ guns, and there is no reason why they don't want to get some protective measures out.

"As long as they can fire at close range, we're in trouble. Although most of our ships are cement ships, most of the ships are only made of cement, and many of the superstructures are wooden structures, which can still be ignited.

Large warships are a little better, not only the hull is made of cement, but the floor and walls of the superstructure are also cement structures, but there are still some flammable decorative materials such as wood and cloth curtains, so it cannot be said that they are completely immune to fire attack.

What's more, in addition to the ordinary tricks of using rockets and firewood and grass on the ship to ignite and collide, there are also some ruthless tricks, such as using fire-breathing boats and fire-breathing ~ guns. These things are sprayed with a water cannon to spray the ignited oil into it, and because of the presence of the oil, even if the enemy does not have any flammable materials there, the presence of the oil can still ignite a fire. ”

Hearing this, everyone changed color again, and everyone imagined in their hearts that the countless sailors on the ship were covered with fire oil, and the whole body was on fire while wailing, while the boat was running around, and finally jumped off the river with a scream, and they couldn't help but shiver.

"What's more, don't forget, the Soochow Navy also has firearms now. In previous battles, they had also used Thunderbolts, and they had also caused a lot of casualties to our troops. Although they may not have many fire~ guns, it is an indisputable fact that there are a large number of thunderbolts.

Imagine what would happen if they approached our ships and dropped Thunderbolts on our ships. What if in addition to thunderbolts, they also have a large amount of fire~powder? What if they fill the boat with fire~powder instead of firewood, and then detonate these fire~powder after they hit our battleship? ”

Everyone had a cold war again, and a tragic picture appeared in their hearts: the soldiers on their own warships were killed and injured by the thunderbolts thrown by the Soochow people, and some boats were loaded with several barrels of gun~powder, and after hitting their own warships, the Soochow sailors on the boats launched a suicide attack, heroically detonating the fire~, and blowing up their warships into the sky

Everyone didn't realize that they were guided into imaginary pictures by Zhuge Wang's words again and again. Unconsciously, they had agreed with Zhuge Wang's words.
