Five hundred and twentieth chapters save people first
"It's true that the world is full of wonders. Ww W． BiQuGe．CN" the generals exclaimed.
Yu Zi then continued: "In addition to these three islands, there are ten alliances, namely Feijing, Mingzhen, Bimu, Ray Wing, Qiutuxun, Tongzhou, Weize, Zhulong, Mirage, Greedy, There is not much interaction between these ten alliances and Da Gan, and the general knows only a little about them."
"The East China Sea alone is so big. I originally thought that the world could only be contained within the four borders of Dagan. Today, after hearing what General Yu said, I realized that in the past, I had to sit in a well and look at the sky." Helian Chengxian sighed as he slapped the table.
"Thank you, General Yu, for clearing up the confusion. Li Luo has learned a lesson."
Yu Zi kept saying that he didn't dare, and said: "The Marquis must know all these things, and he will finally make a fool of himself."
Shen Xiangdong was stunned and chuckled: "I really don't know much about the East China Sea Islands. I have heard of the Three Islands, but this is the first time that the Ten Alliance has learned that I was determined to live in Dagan when I was young. I have no idea about the customs of the East China Sea. I know very little about human relations, not as clear as General Yu."
"The Marquis is so powerful that people from the East China Sea often mention him even now."
Shen Xiangdong shook his head and said calmly: "I am just a rotten wood, so I don't mind mentioning the name of the Marquis."
"I am not good at naval warfare. Now that the bandits are fleeing back to the sea, I wonder what Mr. Shen and General Yu have to say?" Li Luochayan asked.
Yu Ziluo's body trembled, he straightened up, looked at Shen Xiangdong, and said in a deep voice: "Although the battle in Dongfu is coming to an end, it depends on how the prince decides."
"how do I say this?"
"On that day, the prince took out the fuel from the bottom of the cauldron and burned the warships of the rogue pirates anchored in Fishing Bay. This was a very clever plan.
The rogue bandits in Chuyang Prefecture hurriedly fled back to the sea, but there were not many warships that could travel far. There were still tens of thousands of rogue bandits who barely entered the sea. More than half of the ships were ordinary merchant ships or fishing boats. These ships could not carry such a large number of ships. The Duoliu bandit soldiers returned to Huadou.
If the general's prediction is correct, the rogue pirates must be hiding on an island near the East China Sea and have disappeared. If Da Gan no longer pursues them, they will wait for an opportunity to turn around and return to Huadou."
All the generals were shocked and looked at Yu Zilue.
Li Luo asked softly: "But Pingfeng and Lunchide Islands?"
Yu Zi was slightly surprised and said: "Does the prince know these islands?"
"I've seen it on the chart, but I don't know it from afar."
"The general also had this guess. The terrain of Pingfeng Island is steep, there are many rocks under the island, and the undercurrent is fierce. It is difficult for warships to approach, and fishing boats rarely come to the waters of Pingfeng Island.
Ebb tide island is just the opposite, it is most suitable for large ships to dock, and since it is surrounded by many small islands, it should be a good place to hide."
"Is there anyone living on Low Tide Island?"
"There are some, but not too many. Most of the islands are rocky, and you can't grow any crops. You can only rely on the mountains to eat, and the water to drink water. Day after day, you can't support many people.
In fact, the lives of the people on the islands are much harder than those in the Dagan prefectures, and the larger islands are relatively better off. If there are people on these small islands who live more than half a century, they will already be old people."
Li Luo let out a soft sigh and glanced at Yu Zilue. A trace of undetectable compassion flashed in Yu Zilue's eyes, and then he calmed down and waited solemnly.
"It has been reported in the army that there are more than 20,000 rogue bandits in Chuyang Prefecture, and remnants of Dongyan have gathered. If the remnants of the rogue bandits are hiding on Luchao Island, General Yu, how confident are you that you can defeat these remnants of bandits?"
"Although the rogues are numerous in number, their warships are far behind.
The general estimates that there are only a few hundred ships that can fight with the Dagan Navy, and there are even fewer ships that are as big as the Five-Yellow Ship. There should be seven or eight warships that are the same as the Dagan Sea Falcon, and the rest are mostly large-winged ships.
This type of warship is flexible and versatile, but it is better than water battles in rivers and lakes, or naval battles. If the two armies are not close, these ships are of little use and are not a concern."
Yu Zi pondered for a moment, and he had a clear idea.
"Wuyalou ships are mostly used for collisions. The Dagan navy has been weak for many years, and I'm afraid there aren't many left. However, I have seen one Sea Falcon warship. It didn't tilt even though the wind and waves were high, and it was very capable of running and turning in the water.
Quick.
If the rogue bandits have warships that are almost the same as those of the sea falcons, it will really be difficult to deal with them." Li Luo paused slightly and said intently, "What are the chances of winning?"
"Just talking about victory or defeat, I'm 70% sure of the outcome." Yu Zi spoke carefully and carefully.
The generals were whispering, and Yu Zi was calm and calm. His words and deeds showed a sense of confidence, and his words were so precise that no one else could doubt him.
Li Luo was startled and realized that there was another intention in Yu Zi's words, so he said harmoniously: "Besides victory or defeat, are there any other variables?"
Yu Zilue looked very heavy and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the rogue bandits are invading the border and robbing property is just one of them. They also robbed our Dagan people. In Chuyang Prefecture alone, I will eventually find out that there are nearly ten thousand people."
These people were taken overseas by rogue bandits, and most of them were sold as slaves. They were all women and craftsmen, and their fate was miserable. Those who survived to reach Huadou were considered lucky.
In the past, wherever the rogue ships passed by, all kinds of evil fish and beasts in the sea would follow the stern of the boat, just waiting for the rogues to throw the civilians on board into the sea to feed themselves."
After Yu Zilue finished speaking, there was a sudden condensation in the tent, not for anything else but to watch what the bandits did. Yu Zilue's words just now may not be able to fully describe the ferocity of the bandits.
Li Luo asked softly: "If the Dagan Navy launches an expedition, will the rogue bandits use the people of Dagan as a shield?"
Yu Zi smiled bitterly and said, "The general is worried about this."
Li Luo was silent for a moment, and Yu Zi glanced at Li Luo briefly, then continued: "No wonder the naval divisions at sea rely on the wind and weather to fight, and most of the strategies they use include fire attacks, hammer stones, luring the enemy, ambushes, flanking attacks, etc.
Determine the enemy's movements.
If you want to save people, you must first be invincible. If the initial arrogance is too overwhelming, the bandits may kill the people they robbed and then look for opportunities to fight with our army."
"With a clear view of all the action on the sea, can we still use this ambush and attack strategy?" Helian Chengxian asked suspiciously.
Yu Zi smiled slightly and said: "The naval division's operations are different from those on the mainland. If the seawater flows in the opposite direction, even if you see an enemy ship approaching, it will take some effort to turn the ship's bow. It is not as agile as the cavalry and infantry. Maybe there is only one difference."
In an instant, the winner was decided.
It is also possible that the strength of the enemy can change in an instant. Once the enemy breaks through, it will be difficult to catch up."
Shen Xiangdong nodded and said: "What General Yu said is true. When we reach the sea, marching and fighting are very different from what we did on land. We can no longer predict changes in the battle situation using past military strategies."
"Is it possible to take things by surprise?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to save people first?"
"Well, save people first, then kill the enemy."
Yu Zilue and Shen Xiangdong pondered in silence. No one in the tent said anything to disturb them and looked at them quietly.
After a while, Yu Zi slightly coughed and said respectfully: "I wonder what Mr. Chang Shi has to say?"
