Zhu Chaoshi shook his head and said solemnly: "Anyway, I can't think of any better way. If you want to trick the Jin army into thinking there is an opportunity and have enough power to annihilate their attacking fleet, the only way is to ambush them."
, and the Qianlong battleship is the only ambush on the water. Just like the Battle of Yuzhang, our fleet can ambush under the water for a month, and there are also more than a dozen warships that hit rocks at the bottom of the water and sank. Aren't these all risks and losses? Why?
It was possible to risk one's life and lurk back then, but why not now?"
There was a moment of silence in the cabin. Zhu Chaoshi's words left all the leaders speechless. Yao Qichen sighed and said: "Junior brother Zhu, you can't say this. The situation at that time was different from now. At that time, we had to go all out
To eliminate He Wuji, a general of the Jin army, and at that time the enemy was strong and we were weak, so what we were competing for was speed, but this time the situation is..."
Zhu Chaoshi said coldly: "What's different about the situation this time? Isn't it because our side is the stronger one? Everyone thinks we can win by fighting normally, so why risk their lives? Isn't it because I feel that Master Lu didn't give me any advice?"
We gave a fatal order to capture Gangneung, so can everyone just hang around here?"
A trace of anger flashed across Yao Qichen's face: "Junior Brother Zhu, what you said is too much. All of our brothers from the divine sect regard death as death. However, even if it is death, it must be worthy of death. This
What's the use of such a meaningless sacrifice? Besides, the so-called Jin fleet attacking is just your conjecture. How confident are you that the Jin army will definitely attack?"
Zhu Chaoshi said solemnly: "I dare to say this, of course there is a way to lure them to attack with confidence. Commander Yao, you can now measure the flow rate and hydrology of the river bottom and the condition of the rocks. I will lead the fleet to lure the enemy now."
.”
The black-robed man frowned and said: "Generals, we are having a military meeting. We must unite as one and work together. Don't act on your own will or even harm the harmony here. I believe that none of you here are greedy for life or death.
, there is no one who doesn’t want to make contributions, General Zhu, please calm down."
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "I'm not uncool. Commander Yao said that I couldn't lure out the Jin warships, so I'll prove it to him now. Now, I'm going to give the general's order."
The black robe nodded and said: "Then please ask General Zhu to give the order."
Zhu Chaoshi glanced at both sides of the long table and said in a deep voice: "Today is the first day that our fleet arrives in Changsha. The Jin army should have already known the news of our arrival, but they do not know whether we are true or false. Now, we will
Let’s show the strength of our army, Senior Brother Ying, how long will it take if our entire fleet attacks, or in other words, if we attack with six eight-odd warships and two hundred auxiliary warships?”
Yingjiu replied without hesitation: "There are enough supplies on the eight-boat warship and can attack at any time. There are more than 300 warships that have been supplied and can set sail at any time. From here to Jiangling, half a day is enough."
.”
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "It's past Shen hour, and it's approaching dusk. We can attack on the river outside Jiangling early tomorrow morning. The Jin army is now on the river bank in Jiangling, and there are many beacon towers, right?"
Fan Wubing said solemnly: "Yes, there are more than twenty beacon towers equipped with trebuchets and crossbows to prevent our army from landing. Moreover, the Jin army has built dams on the river banks in the past six months to prevent them from landing.
The only place where our troops can land is at Jiangling's outer city water village, where they can break through."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "I know, there was a scout report the day before yesterday. These beacon towers of the Jin army are all built on dams or cliffs near the river. It is difficult to directly land and attack from the sky. However, we have
The eight-foot giant ship is ten feet high, and it is possible to use trebuchets and rockets on the giant ship to destroy these beacon towers."
The black robe's brows raised: "What is the purpose of destroying these beacon towers? You also said that even if the beacon towers are destroyed, because of the existence of the dam and the support of the Jin army behind the dam, our army will still not be able to fully land.
Because it takes a lot of time to clear the obstacles, horses, and wooden piles on the river beach."
Zhu Chaoshi said seriously: "These beacon towers are the eyes and ears of the Jin army along the river. They are used to monitor the movements of our army. All our army's actions on the river will be visible to them. This is what we need to avoid. We must remove these beacon towers."
The beacon tower will make the Jin army blind and deaf, and they will not know where our army is going to attack."
Yingjiu laughed: "This is a good move. If you pull out these beacon towers, the Jin army will not know our army's movements, and it will no longer be possible to detect our moves. By then, even if we don't attack Jiangling, we will concentrate our forces.
It is also possible to attack a ferry."
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "I want the Jin army to know the power of our eight-armed giant ships, and let them see that with such giant ships, they are like mobile fortresses on the river. They can arbitrarily uproot their strongholds along the river. From now on, even if
Attacking the water village outside Jiangling is also very powerful. Therefore, Liu Daogui and Tan Daoji will try their best to deal with these eight-stern giant ships of ours. As long as the giant ships are there, they will not be able to control the river, and they will lose control of the river.
The eyes and ears along the way can only be beaten passively."

Yingjiu said in a deep voice: "So, Junior Brother Zhu, you want to show off the power of the eight-footed giant ship and then lure the enemy to attack, right? However, they are so stupid, watching our eight-footed giant ship lying like this.
On the river, aren't there any warships around to protect you?"
Zhu Chaoshi laughed loudly and said: "This requires a battle of wits and courage. If I were Liu Daogui, I would try my best to lure away the surrounding warships. For example, I would attack with twenty or thirty Huanglong warships and lure our escort warships to chase. Eight
Although the giant owl ship is powerful, it moves slowly. If you go back and forth like this, there will be only a small number of warships left around the eight owl ship."
Fan Wubing said thoughtfully: "So, if we use this tactic to lure the enemy and actively pull away, the enemy warships may attack even during the day, right?"
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "Yes, you can chase back and forth during the day. When dusk comes, you can stop the ship and light the fire, and only let the giant ship park in the river. If I were the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, I would take advantage of the rare opportunity at night.
, dispatching the main fleet to attack, this is the only good opportunity to break the passive attack. Otherwise, we have to wait for us to destroy the beacon towers along the river one by one, until we destroy the water fortress defenses at the two ferries, and finally, storm Jiangling Water City.
