Wang Lin and Wu Mingche's long-awaited decisive battle finally kicked off in Jiyin, Wu Mingche lost the opportunity, and the first move was obviously Wang Lin's chess master.

Wu Mingche originally occupied Jiyin and surrounded Xuyi, that is, he wanted to seize the opportunity first, forcing Wang Lin to have a decisive battle with him, if Wang Lin did not fight, he would also take advantage of it, and then the Huainan defense line would be uprooted one by one, and there would be a time to go west to find Wang Lin to settle accounts.

Xu Jingcheng's death obviously disrupted Wu Mingche's rhythm, and when Wu Mingche realized that the decisive battle was inevitable and was about to advance southwest towards Jiashan, Wang Lin struck first with an astonishing sense of smell like a beast, and happened to block him at the mouth of the river.

The big war is on the verge of breaking out!

Wu Mingche had no intention of calculating, and the first battle fell into a stalemate, although the combat strength of the Chen army can be praised, but the Huainan new army after the fierce soldiers is not vegetarian, as soon as the battle, they showed an amazing degree of organization...... In this afternoon, the forward troops of the Chen army seemed to be run over by a huge grinding wheel, and were defeated in the huge offensive of the Qi army like a tsunami.

As a veteran general who has led troops for decades, Wu Mingche immediately became keenly aware that if Wang Lin's sinister encirclement could not be torn apart today, the 30,000 elites of the Chen army would all be lost on the edge of the pond!

After all, the army of the middle of the Chen army is the emperor's army defending the city of Taicheng, the fighting quality is very amazing, after the defeat, it briefly stimulated the "will of the mourning soldiers", which made the attack momentum of the Qi army frustrated, and the Qi army that defeated the front army of the Chen army not only failed to take advantage of the situation to bite the Chen army, but let the Chen army knock a stick on the head, the orderly turtle defense and the sudden launch of the outlaw raid, once let the Qi army suffer!

However, Chen Jun is good at combat ability and tactics, while Wang Lin is inclined to strategy, Wang Lin is good at strategy, and he was so cautious and cautious before, step by step, he didn't dare to make any mistakes, how could he be defeated?

Chen has 500 people, and he has 1,000 people, under this kind of scoundrel play...... Wu Mingche only divided a small number of troops to defend the back, formed a joint camp in the same place, and tried to drag Wang Lin into a large-scale positional defensive battle, Zhou Luohu persuaded hard, claiming that Wang Lin came in a hurry, and the heavy grain and grass were not ready, and the Chen army should be in a hurry to break through the siege with all its might, and could not stalemate with the Qi army here, Wu Mingche did not listen.

Within two days, the follow-up grain and troops of the Qi army came one after another, and Wang Lin set up camp on the spot to face the Chen army.

Wu Mingche climbed the heights and looked, only to see that the Qi army camp was like a village, with many soldiers and horses, covering the land routes in the south and west of Jiyin like iron buckets, and he felt remorse.

But the situation is already like this, no matter how to say the previous rights and wrongs, there is nothing to be done, the battle is at this point, Wu Mingche can't expect Wang Lin to be softer, don't eat him even with his bones, right?

Don't say that the two don't have much friendship, even if they have a relationship, Wang Lin will never do such a ridiculous thing of a woman's kindness! He tried his best to defend the overall situation of Huainan without losing it, isn't it waiting for today?

The Chen army has been blocked by the Qi army, and all he has to do is to try his best to maintain the fighting spirit and organization of the Qi army, and launch attacks on the Chen army round by round.

Even if the Qi army's individual combat strength is still inferior, as long as the overall situation is stable, Wu Mingche is not afraid of any means! Wang Lin has already decided that even if he uses people to pile up, he will also drag Chen Jun to death!

So tens of thousands of troops, in this territory of less than 40 miles, launched a tug-of-war point by place, point by point, Chen Jun has strong combat power, but under Wang Lin's careful deployment, it can not take any advantage.

The Qi army reacted quickly, every time the Chen army defeated a thousand-strong team of the Qi army, and in the blink of an eye, two more came to help, Wang Lin used this method, and in less than two days, he suppressed half of the Chen army's high fighting spirit!

Since entering Huainan, how has Chen Jun suffered such setbacks? Not to mention the eldest grandson Hongluo and Lu Qian, even Guangling failed to block the Southern Dynasty troops slightly. And now Wu Mingche is being pressed and beaten by Wang Lin, and no one knows what strategy the army wants to win this war.

Those who know a little about military affairs can already imagine at this time that if Wu Mingche continues to work with Wang Lin like this, the Chen army will definitely be defeated! Such a long-famous veteran made a mistake at this time, which made everyone particularly puzzled.

The others didn't understand, but Wang Lin probably understood, looking at everyone laughing, and mocked Wu Mingche with a faint expression:

"He didn't leave when he had the opportunity to leave, so he had to fight me by the lake...... While setting up camp with his back to the big lake to lure me to attack, he secretly transferred a boat to attack me along the waterway, looking at me I don't know what the hell he thinks, this old thief really thinks that he is invincible next to the water's edge? ”

The generals will win this battle, and they are celebrating, but when they heard Wang Lin say this, they were puzzled, but they only thought about it for a while, and began to break out in cold sweat again...... Previously, the Qi army was a little too smooth, causing them to ignore a lot of things:

Wu Mingche, as a general of the Southern Dynasty, may not be able to see what they can see, and if he is a general with brains, I am afraid that he will not put his own army to death, unless what he intends is to put it to death and live afterward!

Wu Mingche is especially good at water warfare, and rarely loses, generally speaking, as long as he bumps into him by the river, it can be regarded as bad luck...... The generals of the Qi army, Guan Guang, saw that they had surrounded Chen Jun to death, but instinctively ignored the river and lake that Wu Mingche was leaning on!

Thinking of Wu Mingche's previous series of "faint moves", now that I think about it, it has a bit of a deliberate taste, which makes everyone shudder.

For the commander, you must see the six ways and listen to the eight directions, you must be bold when others are cowardly, and you must be cautious when others are rash. Since losing a battle with Hou Yao, Wang Lin has been more cautious than ever in using his troops, and he will not underestimate any opponent, even if he is facing Wu Mingche, a defeated subordinate who was not looked down upon in the past.

For Wu Mingche's water battle style, Wang Lin also sorted out a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and is confident that he can make a timely response on the battlefield, and now the only thing Wang Lin has to do is to judge when Wu Mingche will make a move, and when he should make a move.

"Then how should we deploy, if the whole army presses together, can we destroy the southern soldiers?" The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they all got up and asked.

"Don't worry," Wang Lin didn't say one, two, three, four, or five at the first time, continued to stroke his beard, and continued to say calmly: "At this time, the area of our battle with Chen Jun has been compressed very small, if he dares to break the embankment and release water, even he himself will be flooded." I expected that all he could do was to make the warships cross the river and capture our rear, and the key to winning this battle was whether he could destroy the Chen army in one go, so ...... Let's not be in a hurry first, and it is the right thing to maintain our continuous offensive step by step. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Lin hooked the corners of his mouth again and smiled contemptuously: "Wu Mingche is alone at this time, it is precisely because the sky should not be called, and the earth is not spiritual, and he can only worship the river god." He can fight in the water, and so will I. ”

Wang Lin expected it right, so it was a stalemate for more than a day, Wu Mingche couldn't hold it back after all, and attacked in advance, and when the scouts came to report, Chen Jun in the northeast also attacked at the same time, Wang Lin ignored the earth-shattering shouts in the distance, and hurriedly went out of the tent to look into the distance, only to see many tooth boats floating on the spacious river, and they were lining up in a neat queue, coming against the current.

Wang Lin didn't show any panic when he saw it, and gave a few words, but in half an hour, the Qi State Naval Army, which had been preparing for a long time, also appeared on the river on hundreds of wild boar ships, which was exactly the direction of the river, competing with Chen Guo's naval division!

In water warfare on the river, warships are the basic platform, and destroying warships is the first priority in water warfare. In the era when gunpowder was not yet prevalent, the sailors fought by fire, and the second relied on impact, and the fire attack was more depending on luck, if God gave face, just downwind, arson to the ship was simply not too comfortable, if God did not give face, it happened to be a headwind, so don't set any fire, it is important to run for your life.

Wang Lin was defeated in Wuhu in this way, he set fire to the wind without looking at the direction of the wind, and actually set his ship on fire, and the vigorous Southern Expedition army ended in a fiasco...... And the impact is also a test of tactics, the impact has a direct collision with the boat, and there is also a slapstick to hit, Zhang Zhaoda's Pingyu ship used this trick to hit Wang Lin has no temper, but the slap rod is not without shortcomings:

One is that it is time-consuming and laborious to pull the rod down and then pull it up, and it cannot continue to attack continuously; The second is that the head of the rod is tied with stones, but the body of the rod is made of wood, which is often easy to damage or even break.

Wu Mingche made improvements to this tactic, he selected a group of small boats, rewarded the soldiers with heavy money, drove the small boat to the enemy ship and the big ship, and hit it with a slapstick after a hard encounter, and waited until the opponent's slapping rod fell, then ordered the big ship to rush forward, approaching the enemy ship to shoot, and the enemy ship was often beaten by him.

In the past, when Zhou and Chen were fighting, Chen Jun used this method to make the generals of the Northern Zhou Dynasty could only watch their sailors be buried, and there was no way. Wu Mingche obviously wants to continue to use his traditional arts to turn the tide of the war with water warfare.

Chen Jun puffed up his sails and shook the oars desperately, and many light and dexterous small boats jumped out one after another, quickly stepping forward to entangle the big ship of the Qi army.

There are two thick wooden stakes at the tip of the Qi army's wild boar ship, just like the fangs of wild boars, and the Qi army shouted in unison, but they ignored these entangled boats, followed the flow of the river, and crashed straight towards Chen Jun, who was "banging" Chen Jun's big boat...... Click-" was knocked away, and the hull of the ship shook and deflected at an angle......

With the help of the small boats and big ships of the two armies, the two sides fought together, the big ships collided with each other, and the small boats simply fell next to each other, and the two sergeants and soldiers fought each other on the boat...... Wu Mingche stood on the central boat and glanced at this scene, his face changed slightly, only to see that the small boats and boats there were not less than him at all, and there were many big boats behind the small boats, just like thousands of horses and thousands of troops, galloping!
