Chapter 322: Attacking Vehicles and Ships
Mighty waves, vast water. The blue sky is thousands of miles, and the water and sky are the same.
What Yun Mengze showed in front of everyone's eyes was such a magnificent beautiful scenery, on which his mind was also broad and clear, but it made people feel small in comparison. Such a magnificent scenery, Yue Fei has seen too much recently, he has always been praised as open-minded, but every time he sees the waves of Dongting Lake, he will feel that he is extremely unreasonable, this kind of vastness in front of him can be called open-minded world, compared with it, life seems short and insignificant after all.
A general who is determined to recover the rivers and mountains should not have this idea of seeing through the red dust, but the magnificence of nature can always cleanse people's souls. It was still April, but Yue Fei could faintly feel the grand momentum of "steaming Yunmengze, shaking Yueyang City", but at this moment, his heart could not be immersed in the scenery of Yunmengze after all, because the cars and boats lined up on the water in front of him added a sense of solemnity to the beautiful scenery.
Early this morning, the movement of Dongting Water Village was unusual, at first Yue Fei only thought that the other party was harassing in order to plunder resources as before, and the strategy of the siege of the Yuejia army was mainly attrition-based, and the Yuejia army was not very good at water warfare after all, and could not compete with the vehicles and ships. However, after being besieged for more than a month, Dongting Water Village seemed to be unsustainable, because this harassment was particularly strong, and there was a faint tendency to turn into a frontal confrontation, and it was Yue Fei who came to the front line to supervise the battle.
Looking at the cars and boats in front of him, Yue Fei estimated that this should occupy more than seventy percent of the power of Shuizhai, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart. Yue Fei's consumption strategy was also made due to the favorable time and place, when they came to Dongting Lake, it was in the dry period, even if the water village had a reserve of consumption, I am afraid it would not last too long, and the dry period at that time would last for nearly three months, which was also the reason why Yue Fei did not order a fierce attack. The Shuizhai side seems to be afraid of confronting the Yue family army head-on, so it has only held for two months, trying to solve the current crisis after the water level rises.
The development of the situation is exactly what Yue Fei wants to see, in his deduction, the best trend is that Shuizhai is deadlocked with himself, even if it waits for the rising water period, the people of Shuizhai are also tired and tired, and the people's hearts are difficult to shake up. Drag down the enemy from body to heart, and maybe you can take Dongting Water Village bloodlessly. The two armies fought, and the killing was resolute, and the time should be taken according to local conditions, and the attack was the top. Yue Fei's strategy is to attack the heart, dragging down the enemy's body at the same time, but also dragging down the enemy's spirit.
However, what made Yue Fei puzzled was that Dongting Water Village, which had been holding on for two months, actually took the initiative to attack when they saw that the rising water period was approaching. Yue Fei and Yang Mi fought a few times, and found that although the other party was not handsome, he was not mediocre, even if he was a decent person, he should not make such a mistake, at least in Yue Fei's deduction, Yang Mi would not make such a mediocre move at this time. From this point of view, there may be two reasons, one is that Yue Fei overestimated the endurance of the people in Shuizhai, or overestimated Yang Mi, and insisted until this time, the water bandits could no longer hold on, after all, the low morale could derive any kind of terrible result;
Although it is less likely, Yue Fei is more inclined to the second option, because he really can't find a reason for Yang Mi to do this, it stands to reason that the people of Dongting Water Village should have a better understanding of the environment, and they will never take risks at this time, and looking at the other party's formation, it is not at all like a temporary intention or taking advantage of the chaos...... But the second possibility, where did Yang Qi get such confidence and strength overnight, looking at the other party's rejection, he was obviously desperate and gambled on this battle. Yue Fei couldn't think of the reason, but it was indeed a little sensitive at this moment, when Yang Qi launched the attack, it happened to be not long after the arrival of the life stone, combined with what Li Tiezhu said, Yue Fei had some guesses in his heart.
"Assassination, the world's supreme master, take my head among the hosts, if that's the case, I really want to see it. Yue Fei said to himself, and his body immediately rose with a momentum that looked in all directions. It is rumored that Yue Fei is a master of boxing and spearmanship, but he has few chances to make a move, but his talent as a commander is amazing, but at this time, his momentum is released, and his personal cultivation is not bad.
"Report-" At this time, a herald rushed in, "Marshal, the enemy has been found at the foot of the eastern mountain of the bandit village, and about a thousand people are trying to sneak attack the camp. ”
"Dongfang? Yang Mi is reluctant. Yue Fei's eyes flashed when he heard this.
The foot of the Oriental Mountain that the two said is actually on the back of the water village, and the straight-line distance is no more than three miles, but it is very unusual for the enemy to appear here, because the water village is separated from the foot of the mountain by a mountain range, and if you want to get there from the water village, you have to cross the mountain range if you don't make a detour. The water of Dongting Lake is surrounded by mountains, although the mountains are not steep, but they stretch horizontally, and the mountains are also very high, if you want to climb over the nature it is very difficult. Therefore, Yue Fei has the words of reluctance, thousands of people crossed the mountain range that the water village relied on, not to mention the supplies and time spent, if you want to successfully cross the manpower is also a great test, even if you succeed, I am afraid that it will be extremely tired, so although this place is a thoroughfare, but after Yue Fei besieged the water village, he could not open up a battlefield here.
It's just that Yue Fei was cautious, and after all, he arranged a scout at the foot of the mountain, and only then did he discover Yang Qi's abnormal movements. With this discovery, Yue Fei also deduced the situation in his heart, first investing a large number of troops in the front to attack to attract attention, and then attacking the military camp with surprise soldiers. The so-called sneak attack is naturally a covert act, but at this time, Yang Mi's sneak attack tactics must be carried out during the day, otherwise how can he attract all the attention of the Yue family's army. Although this trick is not clever, it takes advantage of the sinister terrain and drills people's psychological blind spots, which can be regarded as sharp.
"Although it is a strange move, it consumes too much, what do you want to do? Is that all?" Yue Fei looked in the direction of Shuizhai and muttered, then turned to the herald and said, "Order, send five hundred cavalry of the Wei Army, with one thousand five hundred infantry to destroy the enemy, lead the army with Li Shan, and tell him that if he can't eat these thousand people, he will roll back by himself." ”
"Ordered. After the herald finished speaking, he flew away, at this time Yue Fei was in the front line, naturally taking the main ship, and this herald was moving and flashing on the ship that had been trained into a line, and he was really good at lightening his body.
Yue Fei smiled when he gave the order just now, obviously thinking that Li Shan would be able to take down the thousand people. It's just that as soon as the herald left, his face turned peaceful, his eyes swept over the unique vehicles and boats of Shuizhai, and he couldn't help but admire the essence of Yang Qi's design.
After a while, the continuous vehicles and ships suddenly moved, and the soldiers beside Yue Fei stepped forward and said, "Marshal, there is movement ahead." ”
Yue Fei nodded, he had already noticed that the car and ship had a tendency to move. The wind blows the flag fiercely, the boat takes advantage of the wind to move forward slowly, the car and ship start to accelerate and accelerate, the trend of acceleration is getting faster and faster, the car and boat take the meaning of the car on the water, the vehicle and ship used by Yang Mi are more than 100 meters long, the power comes from the wind and manpower pedals, flexible and changeable operation such as a dragon, its size can carry nearly 1,000 people, it is very convenient to fight on it. However, such a behemoth as a car and ship also has drawbacks, that is, it cannot act in shallow water, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Mi was unable to fight back at the beginning of Yue Fei's siege.
"Ordered the whole army to retreat five miles. Faced with the approach of the Shuizhai car and ship, Yue Fei actually gave such an order.
The soldiers around him were obviously stunned, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, and the order was immediately conveyed, and the ships of the Yue family's army slowly retreated, giving way to the waters of Wuli. Five miles is actually not much, but it is enough time for Yue Fei to observe the opponent, he still wants to see Yang Qi's determination at this time, whether he really intends to fight to the death or just to seize resources, the waters of these five miles are both concessions and observations, once he finds that the momentum of the vehicle and ship is insufficient, Yue Fei will definitely launch a counterattack without hesitation.
The vehicles and boats of the water village approached with an indomitable momentum, and their speed reached its peak after accelerating over a sufficient distance. After Yue Fei noticed that the other party really didn't look like it was just a feint, he immediately gave an order for the whole army to be on alert and counterattack at any time. The entire Dongting Lake suddenly looked tense, waiting for the moment of imminent triggering.
After Yue Fei gave the order to be on guard, all the ships of the Yue family army also slowly moved forward again, and soon met them, and the ships of the two armies met violently in the wide water. There is naturally no shortage of collisions in war, but some are flesh and blood, and some are equipment, wood and stone. After the ships of the two armies collided, a large number of sawdust flew in large numbers, and the scene was very chaotic for a time, and the water battle was fought with sharp ships, otherwise the ships that could be sunk with a random arrow could not be on the table at all. The vehicles and ships on Yang's side are strong enough, and the Yuejia army's side is not bad, after the collision, the advance of the two sides slowed down at the same time, and then it was naturally a broadside battle, which was the most dangerous battle in close combat.
Shuizhai's vehicles and ships have strong combat effectiveness, but hand-to-hand combat is undoubtedly not as skilled as the Yue family's army, almost at the moment of contact, Yang Mi's army fell into a bitter battle, losing a lot of manpower. However, the role of the chariots and ships was reflected at this time, after the confrontation, all the chariots and ships immediately turned and avoided flexibly, and even fled immediately after making contact, which was inconsistent with the imposing imposing attitude they had shown before.
Yue Fei found out about this situation, his expression froze, even if the combat power of Shuizhai was insufficient, he would never start fleeing as soon as the battle was engaged, he keenly noticed that there was a problem, and immediately said: "Order the rear army to guard the big camp, and the various departments on the side will hold them." ”
Now that Yang Mi has a sneak attack, he will not be stingy to send a few more sneak attacks, if these enemies in front of him are not pretending to be invincible, then it is really a lack of combat power, and it is very likely that Yang Mi's elite soldiers have been sent to attack the camp. involved a large number of his own troops, but he divided his elite soldiers to sneak attack, if it was a few days ago, Yue Fei would still be inexplicable, but at this moment he could think of only one answer, Yang Qi went for the life stone.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei was shocked in his heart, and after weighing it in his heart, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack, since the rear army had returned to the camp, then take down the enemy in front of him first.
Not long after Yue Fei's handsome boat sailed out, a small boat came quickly, and on the lake where the big boat was entrenched, this small boat was like a swimming fish, and quickly caught up with Yue Fei's big boat.
(To put it simply, vehicles and ships are actually relatively large warships, powered by manpower and wind power.) I'm not proficient in ships, but I personally think it's similar to the legendary battleship in Pirates of the Caribbean, and anyone who is proficient can refute it. The big ships that often appear in some costume movies are similar to cars and ships, and the typical ones are the ones that Zuo Leng Zen sits in the undefeated East. This thing was actually not invented by Yang Qi, and Yue Fei also has this kind of ship under his command, which varies in size, and the small one can only accommodate two or three hundred people, this article just uses this statement, and does not dare to mislead. Writing to the fourth volume, there is a bit of a headache, it is really not good to write about the war, Xiao Wu is an idiot of trickery, the overall situation and the small situation are almost zero, and I can't design exquisite tactics and tricks, so I'll just say it, friends, let's look at it, don't take it seriously)
