Chapter Ninety-Five: Autumn Rain

The Akiyama Peninsula needs a land attack, and a land attack does not need a battleship. There were not many of their battleships, ten. Ten escorts, thirty troop carriers. Ten frigates are outside, the inside is a troop carrier, and in the middle is a small boat patrol, this is the water village, the water village of the autumn rain when the general Dangkou was. But the water village is not for the enemy, they have no enemy on the water, their enemy is on the shore, they are also on the shore, at least they themselves think so.

Dense fog, a common morning fog at sea. Too cold, too strong. There was always something in the fog that they couldn't see, and they didn't think they did, and they wouldn't believe it when they saw it. Fog doesn't mean bad luck, except deliberately. Qiu Zhenhai has to do it deliberately, he is more familiar with this sea area, he is more familiar with walking in the fog, they are thieves, thieves always have thieves who can do it, others can't do it. Thieves will always be surprised.

But they still didn't attack, they waited, waiting for the fog to clear and the sun to come out. They are to be executed in broad daylight, not in the fog, not in the dark. The people of health are also waiting, aimlessly waiting. Wait for the fog to clear. The fog makes them unable to see through and makes them confused in a foreign land. So they are worried, worried about something in the fog. This thing is extremely dangerous and represents killing.

The fog began to thin out, and the thin fog made them look confused. In the confusion, there was the shadow of a boat, like a hill, a short section of hills, and there were trees on the hills, strange trees. A tree bigger than a mountain.

"Why are there mountains"? Originally, there were no mountains there, and if there were mountains, it was doubtful. No matter how much you doubt it, it's still a mountain, and the mountain is not dangerous, and desirable.

"There are mountains here too." Now they realize that the appearance of the mountain is not accidental. But a mountain is a mountain after all, and it is not threatening. If a mountain were not a mountain, the meaning would be different. Soon they saw how the mountain transformed into a battleship. Ghost Battleship! The muzzle of the black hole was pointed at them, like eyes staring at death.

It was their own ship, a ship that had disappeared for a long time. Oh Se-hoon's building boat. They had only owned this kind of building boat once, which made them mistakenly think that Wu Shixun had reappeared. When the news reached the big tent of the Chinese army, the sound of artillery arrived at the same time. Wu Shixun ran out of the tent before he could put on it, and what he saw was a firelight and a horrific scene of slaughter. Ten of his gunboats were sunk one after another with almost no return fire, and the troop carriers became live targets. Full exposure to artillery fire. But Qiu Zhenhai knew how to save ammunition, concentrated firepower, and after penetrating the hull, he turned the muzzle of the gun to the army battalion.

General Shi Qiuyu is a famous general, but this unexpected situation still caught him off guard. There is no way back if you want to retreat, this is the Akiyama Peninsula, and the way the Akiyama Peninsula welcomes the people of Kangle is a sword out of the sheath.

Qiu Zhenhai didn't give them time to think about it anymore, and fired directly after adjusting the muzzle. The sound of the explosion instantly shook the earth, and the air wave of the explosion made the people of the Akiyama Peninsula who were watching from the wall couldn't help but marvel. This is the power of weapons, lifeless weapons, the unilateral slaughter of living forces, the rapid diminishing of human importance in war. 10,000 to eliminate 30,000 people is not only more than enough, but it has not been depleted.

Rows and rows of shells came at them, killing and wounding. The battlefield was extremely chaotic, and the fleeing people rushed out again and again, and were driven back again and again, with broken bones inside and strong bows and crossbows outside. War is so cruel, people in war are no longer people, they are corpses with long hands and feet, they wake up from death today, and they will be greeted by death tomorrow.

The shelling finally stopped, but the war continued. The people of the Akiyama Peninsula on the shore have long been gearing up and eager to try. As soon as Qiu Zhenhai's signal was issued, they launched a crazy attack.

The people who survived the catastrophe have not yet come out of the panic and cannot organize an effective defense. They were defeated with only a symbolic slight resistance. Countless people jumped into the sea and struggled with all their might to the fish that jumped into the boiling water until they were exhausted.

The sea still carries them ashore, and when they jump in, they want to escape, but when they float up, they don't need to flee. Fleeing is to live, and if you don't live, you can't live, and you die the same anywhere. The battlefield was already being cleaned up on the shore, Qiu Zhenhai set sail, he didn't need to see Ba Niu, and Ba Niu didn't need to see him. He only does what he is willing to do and helps friends who are willing to help. So did he.

There were 10,000 people, and 10,000 people were captured, including the general Shi Qiuyu. He wanted to give these people to Qiu Zhenhai, this was his captive, and he just grabbed them for him. They may become laborers, transporters, or pirates on the Three Immortals, but they will no longer be the Comforters, there are no Peacekeepers on the Three Immortals Island, only pirates or dead people.

Qiu Zhenhai accepted this generous gift, just like he had accepted twenty warships. He gave it to him, and he wanted it. He showed him that he was willing to give, and that some people were willing to give, and naturally some people were willing to ask for it.

Thirty thousand is really an unlucky number, and General Dangkou Shi Qiuyu is not an auspicious name.

The news soon spread to the Pingkou general Sheng Shiyuan. This gave him a hint that the Akiyama Peninsula was not only a peninsula, but also the surrounding islands, and he also needed to watch out for sneak attacks. So, he chose the safest route, detouring through Kyoto, and from Kyoto to the Akiyama Peninsula. Moreover, he was very cautious. There were at least a dozen waves of probes in front, and when the probes came back and made sure that there was no danger, he would move forward. This causes him to march slowly, slower than a snail.

"This is a big problem," said Ba Niu in the council chamber, "without an ambush, without a sneak attack, it will be difficult for our 30,000 men to defeat 100,000." There is no chance of winning in the field." It was the first time he had made a mistake, and he was a little powerless against such a cautious man.

"Then the only way to take advantage of the terrain is to take advantage of the terrain," said Liu Chuanzhi, the head of the military department: "An army of 100,000 is a huge army, and they need a considerable area whether they are marching or camping. There is only one place on the Akiyama Peninsula that meets this requirement, and that is the land we have cultivated. If he camps, there he will be. But there is also a disadvantage there, which is that the altitude is too low. The White Python River is to its north, and the Black Dragon River is to its west. These two rivers flood every year, and once they do, they flood the plains. In order to reclaim the land, we built a dam along the river and diverted the river, which prevented flooding. But the danger remains. If the enemy camps there, we can use water attacks to break the levees and let the waters of the two rivers pour into the plains. As the saying goes, fire and water are merciless, and in such a vast plain, they have no way to escape."

"We want it, and the enemy wants it." Qu Boyu, the head of the ministry, said: "Sheng Shiyuan is so cautious, he will definitely not ignore such an important matter. I also think that he will set up the camp there, but at the same time, he will also hold the two rivers with heavy troops, and the main thing is that I don't think they will stay there for long".

"Yes, he's here to attack us, and in order not to give us a respite, they will attack soon. We are powerless to resist, and the disparity in strength is too great." Liu Nanshan, director of the Criminal Department, also said.

"Then it can only be an ambush on the road." At this time, Ba Niu said: "As long as he can reach the plains and set up his position, we have no chance of winning." But I thought about it for a while, and I think that prudence is indeed his strength, and at the same time his weakness." He saw that everyone didn't quite understand, so he continued to explain: "Sheng Shiyuan sends several scouts every day to investigate, which is indeed his cleverness. But every way to explore the horse, at most to find out the situation within fifty miles, if you want to know the situation fifty miles away, it takes the second day, and a hundred miles away needs to go to the third day. And so on. From this, we can make a plan to set up an ambush at the alternation stage of the two groups of scouts. In other words, after the first group of probes returned, there was a vacuum within fifty miles. After the second group of probes returned, there was a vacuum within a hundred miles, and we could move our troops to suitable positions and use this vacuum stage to ambush. Our problem now is to find this 100-mile lot and lead them there. They have just arrived, but we have lived here for a long time, and their understanding of the terrain is far inferior to ours, and their ability to predict danger will naturally be reduced. No amount of crutches can let a blind person know about the pits outside its range. Sheng Shiyuan is indeed cautious enough, but he doesn't understand the terrain, and only relies on the outstretched tentacles to judge, which is tantamount to a blind man riding a blind horse and approaching a deep pool in the middle of the night."
