Chapter 220: Commander Ning Hong

Early the next morning, Ji Qiu returned to the barracks, just in time to see his father Ji Long walking out of the camp with an ordinary-looking young man talking and laughing. Ji Qiu became suspicious at the moment and walked in front of Ji Long and the others.

When Ji Long, the lord of the Thunder Soil Mansion, saw Ji Qiu coming back, he immediately scolded with a smile: "Qiu'er, come and meet Lord Mu Shanmu from the military department!"

"Lord Mu?" Ji Qiu was puzzled, but still bowed his head and said, "Lord Mu, hello." I'm Jiqiu. ”

The man hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The young general doesn't have to be polite. Although I Mushan served in the military department, I had also heard of the name of the major general. When I saw it today, I felt that the rumors were true, the young general was really a human dragon and phoenix!"

Ji Long looked at Ji Qiu with a smile and explained to him: "Qiu'er, this Master Mu is the most famous ship design master in the Ministry of War! Mr. Mu Chou, the distant ancestor of Lord Mu, was unusually promoted to an important member of the Ministry of War because of his outstanding skills. ”

"Ship?" Ji Qiu's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Lord Mu, is this situation in the Nucang River......

"I've seen it all!" Mu Shan said confidently: "In the narrowest pass on the Nucang River, there was originally a chain bridge, but it has been destroyed by the army of Mutang on the other side. And even if the chain bridge is not destroyed, it is unrealistic to transport a large number of soldiers to the other side. ”

"We have warships!" Jiqiu said.

Mu Shan looked at the lord of Jilong Mansion, then at Jiqiu, and said with a smile: "I know this, otherwise the young general would not insist on crossing the river." But...... At present, the army has only five types of warships, and it can only transport 500 people at a time......"

"It's a thousand!" Ji Qiu corrected sternly.

"Originally, it was a thousand people, yes!" Mu Shan smiled: "Major General, the style of this ship was designed by the ancestors of Shan, of course I know that it can carry thousands of people." However, there is one thing I must tell the Major General that the Nucang River is so turbulent that if it is really full of a thousand men, the ships will become uncontrollable, so it is most appropriate to reach the other side as quickly as possible, with 500 men per boat. ”

Ji Qiu frowned and said, "But there are only five warships, each ship has five hundred people, and there are only two thousand five hundred people at a time. On the other side of the river, there are 50,000 Mutang ** teams stationed, and it is estimated that the rescue army of Mutang has arrived, and now there are at least hundreds of thousands of troops on the other side of the river. What can these two thousand five hundred people do when they cross the river?"

Ji Long smiled and said: "Qiu'er, then you insisted on crossing the river before, what is the plan? Even if each warship carries you with a thousand people, and your five thousand people arrive on the other side and meet the 50,000 troops of the Mutang Kingdom, are you not going to be eaten in one bite?"

Ji Qiu was stunned for a moment, and then said stiffly: "Hmph, that's not necessarily! There are ten guns on the warship, I can use three warships to cover, let the soldiers on the two ships land, as long as it takes one day, I can transport 20,000 people to the opposite side." ”

Mu Shan shook his head and denied: "Young General, this is impossible. When you actually carry a thousand soldiers, you will find that the ship can spin in the rushing water and slowly fall downstream......"

"Master Mu...... Jiqiu's eyes were cold, and he said with a slight annoyance: "You came here to tell me this?"

"Qiu'er, don't be rude!" Ji Long snorted, and then smiled at Mu Shanyu: "Lord Mu, Qiu'er is young and vigorous, don't be like him." ”

Mu Shan smiled and said, "It's okay. I can understand the mood of the major general who wants to make military achievements as soon as possible. ”

Mu Shanzhuan said to Ji Qiu again: "Young General, I am not only here to tell you about this, but also to build a batch of warships for the young general. These ships have been modified by me to carry 2,000 soldiers at a time without worrying about the current!"

Ji Qiu's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly asked, "Lord Mu, how many warships are there, and how long will it take to complete all of them?"

Mu Shan said with a smile: "Young General, to tell you the truth, ten days ago, when the Major General led the army to occupy here, I had already brought a group of craftsmen to the bank of the Nucang River and built a dock thirty miles upstream. The first batch of thirty warships was about to be built. Well, there are two days at most, and these thirty warships can sail down from the upstream, and they will be used by the major general!"

Ji Qiu was overjoyed, grabbed Mu Shan's arm suddenly, and said in ecstasy: "Master Mu, thank you so much this time......! Well, it's really Jiqiu, isn't it, I shouldn't be so rude to Lord Mu!"

Mu Shan's arm hurt when he was held by Ji Qiu, and he grinned, "This ...... Anyway. Major General, you ...... Ouch...... You let go of your hands first!"

Jiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then said apologetically: "Master Mu, I'm sorry, I'm ...... Did I hurt you by trying too hard?"

"It's not too hurt," Mu Shan rubbed his arm, looked at Jiqiu in surprise, and asked, "Young General, are you only thirteen years old this year?"

"Yes!"

"Unbelievable! Unbelievable!" Mu Shan looked at Jiqiu's majestic young body and exclaimed: "Young General, in my opinion, among the younger generations of the seven countries of the mainland, I'm afraid there is no one who can match you as Young General!"

"Hahaha......" Ji Long, the lord of the Lei Yang Mansion on the side, stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Mu, you praise him like this, although his face is modest, I am afraid that his heart has already floated......! Hahaha......"

"Hmph!" Ji Qiu glanced at his father, didn't bother to talk to him, and simply turned around and went into his tent.

At night, the lord of the Lei Yang Mansion walked into Jiqiu's tent, and saw that his son was sleeping with his head covered, and smiled at the moment: "Don't sleep, in front of me, what are you pretending?"

Ji Qiu sat up as soon as he was revealed, and said with a "hum": "Lord Overseer, it's so late, you don't sleep in your tent, but what are you doing here?"

Ji Long smiled heartily and said, "What, father came to see his son, isn't it?"

"Absolutely. But why don't you usually watch it, you don't come to see it at night? It's late, I'm going to sleep. Jiqiu said unappreciatively.

The age of ten years is the most rebellious period of psychology, of course Jilong knows this, and slowly got up at the moment, making a gesture to leave, and at the same time sighed, and said regretfully: "Alas...... Originally, I wanted to discuss with you about crossing the river in two days, and since you are sleepy, then you should go to bed early. ”

Ji Qiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he saw that his father had already walked to the door of the tent, and immediately "hummed" and said, "Come back! If you want to discuss with me, just say it, why are you beating around the bush?" Seeing Ji Long turn around happily, Ji Qiu said again: "Say, Lord Mu's batch of warships will be transferred to us in two days, what are you going to do?"

Ji Long rolled his eyes and asked with a smile, "I want to hear your opinion." ”

"Then do you still need to think about it?" Jiqiu said: "A warship has two thousand people, and thirty is ten thousand." With these 10,000 people, I am not afraid that the other side will have an army of 100,000 troops! When the formation is set up and delayed for a while, the second wave of 10,000 people will land again and set up camp on the other side. ”

"That's going to kill a lot of people...... Jiqiu shook his head and said, "You, it's too simple to think about things." Timing should be paid to combat operations, and crossing the river is divided into morning and evening. Qiu'er, crossing the river during the day and crossing the river at night, the effect is not the same......"

Ji Qiu suddenly realized, his eyes stared at his father's cloudy eyes for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean...... Night Raid?"

Seeing Ji Long smiling and not answering, slowly walking outside the tent, Ji Qiu couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Hmph, I had a plan, what else did you say come and discuss with me!" Ji Qiu watched his father walk out of the camp tent, shook his head at the moment, pulled over and lay down, and really slept.

On the opposite side of the Nucang River, in the military camp of Mutang Kingdom, Mu Zhizheng, the lord of the Yichen Mansion, who was the supervisor of the army, drank with a group of ministers and commanders.

During the banquet, one of the advisors said: "Lord Overseer, the investigation under the subordinate has learned that thirty miles upstream on the opposite bank, a large number of trees have been cut down, and the hills there are much more empty for no reason. Lord Warden, we must beware of the army of the Yilan Kingdom rushing to cross the river by warships. ”

Before Mu Zhi could speak, a bearded commander said loudly: "What are you afraid of! The soldiers are coming to block it, and the water is flooding." They can build warships, and we have already dug many trenches that crisscross us. If the army of Yilan Kingdom dares to land on the shore, I would rather boom and teach them to come and go!"

Another advisor said unhappily: "Commander Ning Hong, if the other party is allowed to land on the shore and set up camp by the river, dozens of warships will take turns to go back and forth, and a large number of soldiers will be transported over in a steady stream, at that time, we may only be able to sit back and watch it happen!" The advisor turned to look at Mu Zhi and said, "Lord Supervisor, according to the opinion of the lower officials, the defense on the river must not be abandoned. We still have 20 warships, and if the other side really crosses the river, we can also intercept them on the river. ”

"The defense line of the river naturally can't be abandoned!" The old general Mu Zhi was already a little drunk, and said with a smile on his face: "The water flow of the Nucang River is too fast, the wind is strong, and the army of Yilan Country is not accustomed to water warfare, but in this river is the world of our Mutang country's water army. As long as a salvo of flames and arrows is fired, they are all fed to the fish and turtles one by one!hahaha......"

"Yes! Lord Overseer is a good plan!"

"Old General Mu Zhi really deserves to be the number one general of my Mutang country!"

“......”

Hearing Mu Zhi's words, many sycophants lost no time in flattering them. At this point, only Commander Ning Hong looked at the ministers coldly, feeling that he was really out of place with these people, and at the moment he was just a person bowing his head and drinking stuffy wine, no longer talking nonsense with these people.
