: After returning from victory, choose a concubine

: After returning from victory, choose a concubine

August 15th, night, the moon is full.

"Judging from the layout of the water stronghold, Liu Pheasant is indeed a bit overmatched. After all, he can defeat the pirates in the South China Sea by relying on merchant ships. I will not underestimate the enemy."

Purokurama looked into the distance and chuckled:

"It's just that no matter how capable you are, it can't match the difference between soldiers and ships."

There was a sharp-eyed man who said:

"Your Highness, among the Han army, it seems that some of the ships are in a chain-link style."

"A boat with an iron chain?"

Puroku Rama squinted his eyes and looked into the distance:

"The number of available naval forces in the Han army should be less than 30,000, and the remainder are mostly infantry."

"If you want to make up for the gap in the number of soldiers and horses, you will naturally have to use serial ships."

"In this way, the infantry can stand still on the sea and not be washed to pieces by the rough waves."

"I have to say that this is also a good plan. The Han army is fierce. If our army only engages in a ship-to-ship battle, and the other side responds with a series of ships, it will still be able to struggle and cause a lot of casualties to our army.

."

Yang Zhong braved the cold wind and boarded the deck and suggested, "Why don't your Highness try a fire attack?"

"That's natural. The wind blowing lately is from the north!"

Puruli Rama tapped the Han warship opposite with his chin, crossed his arms, and said with a smile:

"Liu Pheasant doesn't have a long memory. How can he not hear about Cao Hou's defeat of Tiesuo Lianzhou?"

"I specially send you such a great gift. If I don't use the fire attack, wouldn't I be ridiculed by the world for not knowing the classics and history?"

The epitaph of Cao Mengde, Emperor Zhaolie's biggest rival in the Central Plains, was written as "Marquis Cao, General of the Han Conquest in the West". It was carved by Emperor Zhaolie himself after he unified the world, so everyone in the world called him Caohou.

The most famous defeat of Cao Hou was the fire in Chibi, which completely cut off the possibility of unifying the world.

When the Donghu generals heard this, they also burst into laughter.

"It was also said that Liu Fei'er was Emperor Zhaolie. After a fire, he began to rise and announced that the revival of the Han Dynasty was possible. Unexpectedly, he did the opposite and completely ruined the Han Dynasty!"

Even though they knew that the wind was blowing from the north, the Han army was still tied up with their boats. Did they think that the Donghu people had not read history and would not know how to set fire?

Even so, there are Han generals in the army and Zhang Huaiyang, who is familiar with military literature, how can he not understand the tactics of fire!

But most of them can understand it, after all, the Han army is at the end of its rope.

How could the Han army defeat Donghu's nearly a thousand ships and one hundred thousand well-trained naval forces without using iron ropes to connect boats and throwing infantry into water battles?

Pu Liuru looked at the ship Zhang Huaiyang was hanging behind, touched his chin, and said:

"It's better to send someone in advance to test it out. General Zhang will tell you that I am greedy for power and rush forward."

Then there was a stern boat heading towards the water stronghold of the Han army.

The north wind was blowing on the sea. From north to south, the stern pulled up the sail and the speed became much faster.

When the Donghu soldiers on the sea saw this scene, they all felt happy. You have your plan, and I have my Great North Wind.

God is helping Dong Hu, maybe he also feels that this thousand-year-old man has been going on for too long, and it is time to change the dynasty!

Liu Ke was still on the Gaihai, and the north wind was still blowing at this time, so he could only wait for the opportunity.

Dian Chu stood aside and looked longingly at the sea, guarding silently.

Water battles are dangerous and there is nowhere to escape if defeated. Jia Wuji would rather stay in prison, Xiao Yuanchang has to be responsible for logistics, and Yue Shaoqian needs to guard against Zhang Huaiyang's army marching from land.

Therefore, the only person around him who has brains and can negotiate is Chen Fujia.

"Chen Qing, in order to appease the important officials of the aristocratic families in the court, I have let the wind out, saying that I will choose a concubine after returning from victory."

"But do you think the big man can win this battle?"

Chen Fujia was really not sure, and the emperor was asking the big man, not himself:

"To defeat many enemies with a small number is nothing more than a tactic of water and fire. On the sea, we can only rely on the power of the wind to resist the Donghu with fire tactics, but now the wind is not conducive to our army."

"And the serial ship proposed by His Majesty is really risky."

The north wind was blowing strongly, making it impossible to use the fire plan to defeat the enemy with a small number.

Moreover, the emperor also connected some of the ships with iron cables to allow infantry to board the ships and fight.

Isn't this waiting for the Donghu people to set off a big fire and burn everything down?

Even if the Donghu fire ship can be stopped with escort ships, the number of soldiers under Gan Wenqin who can not ride in the serial ship is only 30,000, which is very limited compared with the Donghu Navy.

Of course Liu Ke knew what Chen Fujia meant. The iron rope and boat was a magical operation with many failures.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's boat was attacked by fire and defeated.

Dongwu's iron ropes and boats blocked the Jin army and were destroyed by the Jin army.

Nanchen tied up the boats to block the Sui army and was destroyed by the Sui army.

Zhang Shijie of the Southern Song Dynasty led the Southern Song Dynasty navy to fight against the Yuan Dynasty army. They used iron ropes to connect boats, but they were attacked by fire and were unfortunately defeated.

In the Poyang Lake water battle, Chen Youliang, who had the absolute advantage, used iron cables to connect boats, while Zhu Yuanzhang used fire attacks. The situation was reversed, and a great victory turned into a huge defeat.

King Ning's rebellion was also defeated by Wang Shouren's fire attack using iron ropes and boats at Poyang Lake.

Ban Ya's invincible fleet, including its ships, was burned by giant fireships.

Liu Ke didn’t explain too much, just a joking remark:

"It's not victory or defeat, it's life and death together. If something goes wrong, no one can escape."

Chen Fujia felt his scalp numb when he heard this. This was worse than burning a cauldron and sinking a boat. The Gaihai under his feet was also connected to some ships!

If something goes wrong, the emperor can't run away!

"cough"

Liu Ke coughed lightly, then regained his composure and said with a straight face:

"No method is foolproof. It has its advantages and disadvantages."

In fact, the chain linking boat is not a stupid behavior, but a battle formation with obvious effects. Zhang Shijie and Chen Youliang both gained advantages because of it.

Like Chen Youliang's chain-linked boat, if Zhu Yuanzhang had not attacked with fire, or if the wind had been better, the Han Dynasty would have been unified again.

Although Zhang Shijie's first iron boat connection failed, his second iron boat connection after gaining experience in fire prevention really won.

Liu Ke added: "I really appreciate what Chen Qing said."

"Um?"

Chen Fujia didn't react.

"In a water war, the one with more ships wins."

Chen Fujia suddenly realized something and said in surprise:

"Is Your Majesty trying to lure the Donghu people to set fire?"

"The north wind blowing now can certainly help the fire. A fire will burn all the iron ropes and boats of my big man."

"But if suddenly the wind direction changes to the south, the Donghu people will burn themselves!"

Liu Ke nodded, he indeed had this idea.

It's not enough to burn them by yourself. If the Donghu people had prepared in advance and taken precautions, they might not be able to burn too many ships.

But trying to seduce Dong Hu and burn them together is different.

Burn both sides at the same time, and relying on the destiny of [Six Ding Divine Fire], waiting for the wind to turn, the Donghu people can be burned to a pulp in one breath.

Even though the Donghu people only had some boats in a row and no iron ropes to connect the boats, they had nearly a thousand boats and they were so densely packed that it was really hard to avoid even if you wanted to avoid them when they were burning!

But the biggest problem is still the direction of the wind.

Chen Fujia also had this worry. Although the emperor once used Liuding Liujia to fool the Donghu people, which seemed quite mysterious, the north wind has been blowing recently. Can it really change the direction of the wind and turn it into a south wind, so that the offense and defense can be changed from then on?

"Your Majesty, a Donghu ship is approaching!"

"oh?"

Liu Ke looked from a distance and saw a stern sailing towards the water village quickly with its sails inflated.

"It should be to test the strength of our army and send orders for people to intercept."

What Chushuizhai blocked was a warship that had been transformed from a medium-sized merchant ship.

The craftsmen who were kidnapped from Yizhou were not idle and were constantly renovating the ships.

Even Liu Ke’s Gaihai had some “little surprise” changes.

A large number of arrows were fired from the boat and flew towards Dong Hu Huan.

However, the Donghu people were well prepared and formed a formation with shields to block the arrow attacks. At the same time, taking advantage of the north wind, they rushed towards the Han warships without losing any speed.

Soon, the two ships collided, and there was a large amount of tung oil-stained hay on the east stern. With a whoosh, a burst of fire broke out, and they took the opportunity to throw all the tung oil hay onto the Han warships.

Driven by the wind, the fire spread rapidly.

And these trained Donghu soldiers jumped into the sea one after another.

The Han soldiers on the ship wanted to kill them with arrows, but they succeeded, but wasted time and failed to put out the fire. Seeing that the ship under them was on fire, they had to abandon the ship and leave.

Those Donghu soldiers who fell into the sea could even look back from time to time, quite arrogantly.

Jingle Bell--

Suddenly there was a ringing sound.

"How dare a rat dare to bully my big man, No One?!"

"Brothers, take action!"

I saw a swordfish boat sailing out of the water village with a series of bells. Although it was going against the wind, its speed was not slow. It actually caught up with the Donghu soldiers who jumped into the sea.

Then he jumped into the water and chopped down each one he caught. Gan Wenjin swung his sword and beheaded eight people in a row.

"Brothers, don't forget what we were doing before. Who hasn't heard or seen the fireworks, singing and dancing on the Donghu Tower boat these days?"

"Are you tempted? You are tempted! If you are tempted, go and grab it!"

Gan Wenjin's brocade clothes were open, with a golden ling hanging from his waist, a broadsword on his shoulder, and one foot on the bow of the boat. He was full of gangsterism, and with a few heads in his hand, he quickly sailed back to the water village.

He suffers from seasickness. He can vomit all the way on a large boat, but as long as he takes a small boat and the speed of the boat is fast enough, he can't get sick. Not only can't he get dizzy, but it can get worse!

But we still couldn't save the medium-sized merchant ship.

By the time the boat sailed back to the water village, half of it had been burned.

Chen Fujia frowned and paced back and forth on the Gaihai:

"Your Majesty, this is just a test by the Donghu people. If they attack in a big way, it will be bad!"

All the officers and men on the ship were also nervous.

The Donghu people just sent out a small boat and used the north wind to attack with fire, so they could replace the big Han's medium-sized boat.

And the big man doesn't have many ways to counter it.

Although Gan Wenjin was brave and invincible on the sea, he had less than 30,000 naval officers who were capable of fighting freely on the water.

In other words, only these less than 30,000 people can go out of the water stronghold to intercept the ships that Donghu keeps raiding.

If the infantry on the serial boat were to encounter the Donghu fire boat, there would be only one outcome.

Turn into ashes and disappear into smoke.

The Donghu soldiers on the other side were all smiling.

I don't feel sorry for the little stern and the officers and soldiers on it at all.

Although twenty or thirty people died, they burned a medium-sized Han army ship and obviously made a lot of money!

However, Puruli Rama still sighed:

"I'm careless. I thought that in the South China Sea, only Sun Zhi'en and Jiang Tai could be considered brave and good at fighting. I didn't expect that Gan Wenjin is also a brave man, so we must guard against him."

A general from Pu Liuru tribe geared up and said:

"It is said that Gan Wenjin was our general at that time, but later he was defeated by Sun Zhi'en, so he defected to the pirates, and now he has defected to the Han army. People who have been repeating themselves like this may be able to use a little trick to our army's advantage."

Puruli Rama shook his head and said:

"Don't bother with that."

"Our army is united, and you are all generals who are familiar with water warfare. Our ships are several times larger than those of the Han army. We also have the help of the north wind. The time and place are favorable and the people are in the right place. There is no need to think too much about the battle."

"The king prepared these fire starters, which can be considered useful."

"According to my king's order, Pu Liu Ru Gu Luo is used as a spear, and the cockroaches are launched together. They are bound to break through the Han army's water stronghold and burn them to ashes with a fire!"

A burly general with an unusual appearance immediately took the order and said:

"Your Highness just needs to sit on this boat and watch the fire in the water village soar into the sky, stretching for thousands of miles!"

"yes!"

All the generals also responded together.
Chapter completed!
