After eating, the three of them sent Luo Tianchu to the dock, and Luo Tianchu got on the boat and said goodbye to the three. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After the three of them walked away, he re-observed the Song army's warship, and really didn't understand where Yue Fei's confidence came from. He lay on the bow of the boat, looking at the floating clouds in the sky with his arms on his pillow, pondering the tactics that Yue Fei might use next. If he had known that Yue Fei was so great, he would not have said anything and would not come to troubled waters, but since he had already come, he would be responsible for the Dongting Gang to the end, he had his own principles, he had a beginning and an end, and he would never give up halfway.

When the boat approached Yunze Village, it was found that most of the warships on the dock were missing, but the sound of light boats breaking waves and weapons fighting on the lake behind the village was heard. Luo Tianchuqi said: "What happened?" The boatman who was in charge of the boat said, "It should be the Great Sage Heavenly King who is training the naval army." Luo Tianchu said: "Go around the back and take a look." ”

I saw that on the vast and boundless lake, thousands of large and small warships were staggered and horizontal, with masts and sails, and the waves were magnificent, almost occupying the huge Dongting Lake. Luo Tianchu was still seeing the naval drill for the first time, and he couldn't help but light up his eyes and cheer. In the middle of the lake is a five-masted boat, three stories high, with a soldier armor, Yang Tai wears a battle armor, a cloak on the back, and stands on the deck on the top floor with a command flag in his hand, looking forward to being the leader, commanding the training. The warships were divided into four units, the first group practiced the formation of ships, and seven or eight large and small warships were arranged in a zigzag pattern, with the small ships on the outside and the large ships in the middle, and no matter how they were exercised, the spacing between the ships was always the same. Hundreds of boats swim in a straight line in the lake, and from a distance it looks like a flock of mother ducks leading their ducklings to play in the water.

The second group practiced close-to-ship combat, a pair of warships lined up in three rows, and the soldiers on the deck used long weapons such as wooden crows, harpoons, and crossbows to fight across the boat, and then put each other's gangplanks to practice boarding and fighting.

The third group launches the slings in the distance, the bow of the ship is equipped with a slap rod of more than ten zhang, put the boulder on the top, press the wheel down, pull the rope to launch the boulder, if the head is good, it can penetrate the enemy ship, hit the small boat is even more sinking at once.

The fourth group of soldiers stood on the ship near the shore and shot arrows at the target in the open field, and the naval army fought first with bows and arrows, and whoever could shoot accurately on the rocking deck could seize the initiative and get the opportunity to board the enemy ship first.

Luo Tianchu looked frightened, he didn't expect that the knowledge of water warfare was so great, but he really had to study it carefully. He was fascinated by it, only to hear Mrs. Yang say on the deck: "Brother Luo came up and saw it more clearly." Luo Tianchu answered, abandoned the boat and boarded the ship, and came to the third deck, there were no soldiers on this deck, only Zhou Lun, Yang Qin, Yang Hua, Xia Cheng and other generals.

Mrs. Yang invited Luo Tianchu to stand on the bow of the boat, and said with a smile: "I know that Brother Luo rarely fights in water, so I held this big drill to familiarize Brother Luo with the tactics of water warfare." Luo Tianchu said happily: "I have benefited a lot, and the tactics of water warfare are by no means less than those of land warfare." Mrs. Yang said with a smile: "Yes, what Brother Luo saw was just the basic tactics, and when fighting, you should also pay attention to the depth of the river, the width of the river, the change of wind direction, and the speed of the water flow, any point may affect the victory or defeat of the battle." A mistake in the arrangement of troops in a land battle can be corrected in a timely manner, while a mistake in a water war is an immeasurable loss. Luo Tianchu said: "I am just a foreigner in the water war, and I ask Brother Yang to teach me more, I really dare not be the commander." Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "The commander is responsible for the overall strategy, and I can assist in commanding the water war, so Brother Luo doesn't have to worry." Since Brother Luo is interested in learning about water warfare, then I will give you a rough explanation. The depth of the river determines the size of the warship, the river port with a shallow draft must not walk a large ship, once it hits the reef and hits the bottom, it will be troublesome, but the depth of the lake also changes with the change of seasons, only people who know the local waters can grasp the use, so we have the advantage of geographical advantages. The width of the river sometimes directly affects the victory or defeat of the battle, if you can make full use of the terrain, you can outnumber, such as the battle of Huangtiandang, Han Shizhong is to use the terrain of Jinshan and Jiaoshan to block the river ferry, with broken boats to block the river waterway, artificially create terrain advantages, cut off the retreat of the Jin soldiers, so that the Jin soldiers from then on talk about the water color. Wind direction and current can be confused, and a smooth wind and water is undoubtedly the best, which can set fire to the ship and attack the enemy ship formation, and the speed and rocket speed are also more advantageous. Therefore, when the wind is good, we must fight, and when the wind and water are good, we must not fight. ”

Luo Tianchu sighed: "Although you shouldn't underestimate the enemy, after seeing the strength of your army, I really don't think about Yue Fei." Yang Taidao: "Yue Fei has no experience in water warfare, and the large-scale land battle is more than a million people, and the water battle is only a thousand warships at most, but as long as one boat is lost, hundreds or thousands of soldiers on board will withdraw from the battle and become a live target for the enemy in the water." Even if the water is good and his life is saved, he can no longer participate in the battle, which is no different from dying in battle. So every ship is crucial, and every decision must be made with great care. Luo Tianchu said: "Your gang's naval army should be the first in the world." Yang Tai said confidently: "I also feel the same way, if the situation of Yue Fei's warship is true, I am confident that the water will defeat him." Luo Tianchu muttered: "I don't think Yue Fei will fight head-on, I wonder if he will have another way to win?" Yang Taicheng smiled and said: "Is there a way to win without fighting?" Luo Tianchu was silent for a while, and slowly spit out two words: "Attack the heart." ”

Mrs. Yang frowned and said, "What does Brother Luo mean?" Luo Tianchu said slowly: "Yue Fei knew that your gang would never surrender, but he still let Yue Yun send a letter of surrender, what does this mean? Yue Yun deliberately emphasized that if he surrendered now, he would still not lose the opportunity to be crowned an official and a lord, and also said that there were many benefits after surrendering. These words were not said to Brother Yang, but to lure the soldiers, the purpose was to shake the morale of the army and make everyone have the idea of surrendering. If it was a few years ago, your gang and other nobles and lows, rich and poor, united from top to bottom, everyone is for the public, this kind of lure means do not have to worry at all, but now the gap between the rich and the poor of your gang is widening, deviating from the purpose, people's minds have changed, coupled with Yue Fei's prestige and influence, it is inevitable that there will be traitors. I don't think Yue Fei has ever thought of fighting your gang head-on at all, he will only use his sword to go sideways, use offensive warfare to disintegrate us, and let our own people fight our own people, so that our advantage in water warfare will be gone. He deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, and none of the Dongting generals standing in the distance heard him.

Mrs. Yang frowned, glanced at the generals behind her from the corner of her eye, showed a vigilant look, and asked in a low voice: "How could you have such an idea?" Luo Tianchu sighed: "My trip to the Song camp is not without gains, I can see that Yue Fei and Zhang Xian are both masters who are good at attacking the heart, and they will definitely take advantage of the instability of our people's hearts and make a big fuss." If they lose the water battle, our morale will be high, and the strategy of attacking the heart will not be able to continue, so they will not engage us until their plan succeeds, and I believe that they will take a step closer to prove my judgment. By the way, Brother Yang has read Yue Fei's Zhao'an book?" Mrs. Yang shook her head and said, "I haven't moved, I'm still throwing it on the table." Luo Tianchu said: "Let's go back now and see what the letter says." ”

Mrs. Yang left the crowd to continue to practice the navy, he and Luo Tianchu returned to the lobby of Yunzezhai, and after rummaging through the table and not seeing the letter, Yang Taiqi said: "It's strange, I obviously put it here." Luo Tianchu said in a deep voice: "No need to look for it, someone must have taken it away, it can be seen that Yue Fei's plan has begun to work, and some people are already interested in the conditions for surrender." Mrs. Yang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she said coldly: "Check! If you find out that person, you will not be spared." Luo Tianchu said: "This matter can only be investigated secretly, not quietly, maybe we can use this to deal with Yue Fei." Yang Taidao: "Do you want to plan it?" Luo Tianchu said: "Yes, Yue Fei is so shrewd, he will definitely not be able to deceive him if he finds someone to surrender, only if that person sincerely surrenders can he gain his trust." Mrs. Yang said: "Then let's find that person first." There are not many people who can enter and leave the General's Mansion, so it should not be difficult to investigate. ”

Two hours later, Mrs. Yang's henchman Li Yong came to see the two, he was twenty-seven or eighteen years old, shrewd and capable, his skin was a unique bronze of the lakemen, Shi Li said: "See the king of heaven, commander, the humble position has investigated all the people who have entered and exited the hall within three hours, except for the three maids and four servants, there are several leaders present at the time, but there is another subordinate who feels very suspicious." Yang Taidao: "Who?" Li Yonglin said: "Huang Zuo." Mrs. Yang said in a deep voice: "Is it him?" Li Yong said: "He has a concubine named Tian Xiaoxiao who lives in Yunze Village, his ass is just a little bit right and he can't wait to see the slut, for some reason he came to Dazhai for a turn, and he left after staying in the hall for less than a cup of tea, and only one servant recognized his back." Yang Taiyin said with a gloomy face: "Okay, you go down." ”

After Li Yong left, Luo Tianchu said: "It seems that the person who stole the letter must be him." He annoyed me and made him make a fool of himself in public, replacing his position, and it is not strange that he has a heart of surrender" Yang Tai said: "What is the plan of the castle master?" Luo Tianchu said: "We can find someone to keep an eye on Huang Zuo, pretend to accidentally discover his secret, and after pretending to accidentally discover his secret, we are willing to surrender with Huang Zuo, and Huang Zuo will do the matter of contacting Yue Fei, and that person will not be recognized by Yue Fei if he does not come forward." If someone is bold, Huang Zuo will be even more courageous, and he will discuss with his accomplices if there is something, as long as we can know Yue Fei's battle plan, we can defeat Yue Fei in one fell swoop. Mrs. Yang said, "Good plan." Luo Tianchu said: "But that person must be loyal to the gang, and the friendship with Huang Zuo must also be passable, it is best to be an important person, I don't know if there is a suitable candidate?" Yang Tai thought for a while and said: "Only my cousin Yang Qin can take on this position, he is one of the founders of the Dongting Gang, there is no problem with loyalty, and he has also fought side by side with Huang Zuo, and he has a good relationship with each other, and he is the owner of Huxiang Water Village, with a meticulous and calm personality." Luo Tianchu said happily: "Then quickly invite the master of Yang Zhai to come to discuss the matter." (To be continued.) )
