Fu Rui's practice of confusing right and wrong and unclear rewards and punishments will definitely cause an uproar in the military.
Fu Rui was busy attacking Liang Cheng, and Murong Chui was not idle either.
The water area outside Xiangyang City is wide and windy, making it most suitable for water warfare training.
"Stand still, hold your weapons!"
Murong Chui was fully armored and stood with a sword in hand.
Under his command, another small group of soldiers was carrying buckets and pouring water on the deck from time to time.
It didn't take long for the dry deck of the ship to become wet.
In a real water battle, the deck will never be dry and flat. Once the ship enters the water and the two parties fight, it will be covered with water stains.
The several battles between the Qin army and the Jin army often just penetrated deep into the city south of Xiangyang and could no longer continue.
The fundamental reason is that they were defeated in the water battle. Most of the Qin soldiers came from the north. They couldn't even stand firmly on the slippery deck, let alone expect them to be able to hold their weapons steadily and fight!
As a witty general, Murong Chui was very good at accumulating experience.
Since he was taken under Fu Jian's command and followed him on his expeditions east and west, Murong Chui gradually came into contact with many authentic Jiangnan battles.
When he saw the vigorous figures of the Jiangnan sailors on the warships, Murong Chui immediately realized that if he wanted to completely capture the hinterland of Jiangnan, a water war was inevitable!
War is fought by men, so it is urgent to improve the water warfare ability of Xianbei soldiers!
Murong Chui leaned on the railing. In front of him, Xianbei soldiers who were not familiar with water fighting were holding weapons and fighting hard on their bare feet.
In Murong Chui's ears, the sounds of soldiers and soldiers kept ringing. The Xianbei soldiers had a rough and bold style. Although they were training soldiers, they were also practicing with real swords and guns.
Less than half a stick of incense had started in the fight, and several of them had already been carried down, all of them injured.
Bliss...
Bliss...
A slightly funny sound was also mixed in with the sound of swords and guns clashing, making it particularly harsh.
Many soldiers could not stand firmly, let alone fight. They had fallen several times while on the deck.
He fell down, got up again, and fell down again within a few moves.
After falling down and squatting down, Jin Shiliang, the captain of Murong's tent, ran to Murong Chui and shouted: "General, we are just guarding Xiangyang City. There is no need for so many sailors. The soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City are strong.
A cavalry assault will suffice."
"Shiliang, you don't mean what you say." Murong Chui smiled, how could he not see Jin Shiliang's true intentions.
He immediately retorted: "You just don't want to practice water combat. You don't care about the guards in Xiangyang City at all."
"General, if you say so..."
Jin Shiliang scratched his head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Isn't what my subordinate told the truth?"
"The Jin army can't stop our cavalry at all. In this battle, many troops and horses were mobilized, with hundreds of thousands of people. Why should we be afraid of the Jin army's water battle?"
"If they were so powerful, would they let us take over Xiangyang?"
There is some truth in what he said, but he is a typical hero who judges heroes by their results. Murong Chui has a sharp ear and eyesight, and he can see clearly.
The Qin army was able to capture Xiangyang and hold it for a long time because the water system in Xiangyang was not that complex and changeable.
Using cavalry tactics to attack can also be effective.
However, what about going further south?
Just relying on cavalry attack tactics will not work.
"Have you forgotten about Shouchun?"
Oh Shouchun!
Jin Shiliang's eyebrows trembled and he suddenly stopped talking.
The Battle of Shouchun, Di Qin’s nightmare!
Mentioning that battle, there was an air of deathly silence floating around between the two of them. It took a long time before Jin Shiliang found the courage to continue speaking.
"But there is no need for us to work so hard for Di Qin."
In the eyes of Xianbei soldiers like Jin Shiliang, their allegiance will always be to Dayan and the Murong clan.
If Murong Chui is still around, this belief will remain firm.
Murong Chui was very moved: "Even if we don't think about Di Qin, don't we think about ourselves?"
This is on the deck far from the shore, surrounded by Xianbei soldiers, and the breeze has long taken away their voices.
There is no need to worry about the partition walls having ears.
Jin Shiliang quickly understood Murong Chui's thoughts and nodded sharply.
"As long as it's for the sake of the general, let alone asking his subordinates to fight in the water, he will not hesitate to fly to the sky to fight!"
"Heaven?"
"Captain Jin, I really didn't realize that you can actually fly."
A cheerful voice came, and Murong Chong jumped onto the deck with one step.
The daily training there had just ended, and he rushed to join Murong Chui, almost every day.
Murong Chong had no choice. If he didn't stay with Murong Chui, he would feel uncomfortable all the time in the military camp.
No way, too many eye rolls!
Everyone knows the reason!
"Ah Liudun, I didn't expect you to work really hard."
The water drill has come to an end, and the soldiers disembarked as a team to rest. The moment their feet touched the soil, Murong Chui could deeply feel their sense of relief.
These Xianbei soldiers were all temporarily captured for training. They were purely trying to catch up. It was normal for the soldiers to perform poorly.
"It is also a good thing for us to defend Xiangyang and even capture Shouchun. One day, we will also face the challenge of the Jin army's sailors. Now we can take advantage of the opportunity to go out for Di Qin and train early. Isn't it great?
?”
Murong Chong nodded: "That's right."
"Chong'er, what are you going to do with the messenger?"
"Are you going to keep it like this?"
For how many days, this question has been lingering in Murong Chui's heart.
These days, overtly and covertly, Murong Chui always tried his best to find out the whereabouts of the messenger. If his judgment was correct, this person must still be in Xiangyang City.
However, for several days, Murong Chui tried his best to search everywhere, but could not find any trace of the man.
But this time, Murong Chong was also uncharacteristically unwilling to reveal the true situation despite Murong Chui's various temptations.
Murong Chong had always been someone who couldn't hold back his words. This time he was so strict with his words, which was definitely not a good sign.
Murong Chong laughed, which was rare and cheerful.
"Ah Liudun, why are you so timid again? One person does the work and the other takes responsibility. I am responsible for this matter. What are you worried about?"
Haha, that's easy to say.
It wasn't that Murong Chui looked down on him. Ever since he was a child, he had never seen Murong Chong handle something so neatly and neatly, and shoulder his responsibilities.
In Di Qin, Murong Chong actually dared to shout and take responsibility, which was really touching.
Murong Chong's triumphant look gave Murong Chui a sudden bad feeling.
"You didn't kill someone, did you?" After much deliberation, this was the only possibility. Murong Chui held his breath and stared at Murong Chong.
His eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Ah Liudun, you finally got the idea!"
"Really killed?"
"Kill!" Murong Chong made a volley and slashing gesture, his eyes showing fierceness.
"Are you crazy!"
Murong Chui couldn't believe his ears, what was happening!
"Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Murong Chui had experienced hundreds of battles and was certainly not a timid person. The reason why he was angry was because the consequences of this incident were predictably bad.
There was no way Murong Chong could withstand the three swords he wielded.
But now, the culprit is actually laughing without any hint of worry.
"What could be the consequences?"
Murong Chong spread his hands, feeling extremely proud.
Murong Chong was certainly proud of being able to come up with such a clever plan and resolve this matter decisively.
"Chang'an is a thousand miles away from Xiangyang, and it takes less than half a month to go back and forth. When the time is almost up, I will write a fake reply letter to deceive Fu Rui."
Tsk tsk...
How am I so smart!
For the first time in his life, Murong Chong admired himself so much.
Murong Chui had nothing to say.
"Imitation, can you do it?"
"Let's see how you end up if trouble breaks out."
A person is already dead, and it is useless to talk any more. No one understands this truth better than Murong Chui. He patted the railing and stared into the distance.
It seems that the crisis is getting closer and closer to me.
