Chapter 348: Crossing the Three Gorges
Looking at the sketch that Luo Ya opened, Li Xinchen raised his eyebrows, and the detailed information such as the location of the city gate, the number of steps, and so on was clearly marked on this drawing. Glancing at Luo Ya in surprise, Li Xinchen didn't expect that this unsightly literati would be good at this, it seems that he really dug up a treasure.
When he takes Sichuan Shu, he can't let him succumb to this small Anshu City anymore.
Now Li Xinchen's generals are enough, and there are many who are well-known in history, but the ministers under his command are all indebted, if you can pull this versatile Luo Ya over, it is also a good choice.
Of course, Luo Ya didn't pay attention to Li Xinchen's gaze, and pointed to the sketch seriously: "To enter the city, you have to climb hundreds of steps from the dock on the west tributary to reach the city, so it is definitely impossible to attack alone, even if the enemy is old, weak, sick and disabled. ”
Li Xinchen nodded, the most important thing in Sichuan and Shu is the terrain, basically all places are easy to defend and difficult to attack, this White Emperor City, so he has no intention of attacking it at all, everything can only be outwitted.
But fortunately, Li Xinchen asked himself that his brain was still enough.
Li Xinchen has not yet seen the specific information about the Three Gorges and the White Emperor City, so he does not dare to make a decision easily about how this battle should be fought, but he has already vaguely sketched the outline in his heart.
Seeing that Li Xinchen did not show a depressed expression from beginning to end, Luo Ya also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this moment, it is already ready to fly, and all the people in the game have no room to retreat, and there is no doubt that Li Xinchen is the backbone of everyone in this big war, if Li Xinchen is discouraged, then this battle will not have to be fought, everyone pack up and go home.
"Brother Luo, after a certain departure, the transfer of grain and grass equipment and the subsequent settlement of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid I will have to bother you," Li Xinchen said in a deep voice while pondering the map, "Even if you take White Emperor City, you must hurry up and be able to gain a firm foothold, so there is a great demand for these, and the burden on Brother Luo's shoulders is very heavy." ”
When the words fell, Li Xinchen raised his head and looked at Luo Ya: "Is it okay?" ”
Looking at Li Xinchen's look full of trust, Luo Ya was stunned for a moment, and a stream of blood surged up to his head almost instantly, and he immediately solemnly bowed his hand and said loudly: "I will not disgrace my life!" ”
Li Xinchen nodded, and Luo Ya didn't hesitate, turned around and walked outside.
"Start again, and there will be no more obstacles to continue on." Li Xinchen looked at Luo Ya's back and muttered.
Further on, the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high for the birds to fly.
——————————————————-
A bright moon hung in the sky, and the moonlight was shining all over the river.
The speedboats are moving forward in the current, chopping the waves, and you can see the figures walking back and forth on the boat, looking around vigilantly.
Among the Three Gorges, each gorge has its own characteristics, Qutang Gorge is majestic, Wuxia is beautiful, and Xiling Gorge is steep. And now the fleet took advantage of the dawn of the day to pass safely through the most difficult Xiling Gorge, and is sailing on the water surface of Wuxia.
Li Xinchen had previously ordered to reduce the speed of navigation for the sake of safety when he crossed Xiling Gorge, and everything was based on safety, lest his own people would lose half of the ship before they left the Three Gorges, so when the boat crossed Wuxia and it was already evening, he simply moved forward slowly, as long as he could reach Baidi City tomorrow night.
After all, the fleet is going up the river, not down the river, otherwise Li Xinchen may really be able to reach the White Emperor in one day.
The moonlight is like water, and the night is thick. The layers of green mountains are lined up on both sides of the river, and the water surface is sometimes spacious, sometimes narrow, twisting and turning, but it is not as turbulent as the Xiling Gorge river. Not far away, you can already see the famous Goddess Peak, under the moonlight, the Goddess Peak is more and more beautiful, as if there is really a goddess beautiful on the mountains.
However, Li Xinchen is not in the mood to enjoy these scenery at all now, he has been staring at the map closely, not moving. After a while, footsteps hurriedly sounded outside the cabin door, Li Xinchen raised his head slightly, and immediately saw the figures of Chen Zhishen and others.
"See General." Chen Zhishen, Cao Zhong and Lu Zhiwu all arrived, and with them came Wang Chang, the captain of the Henghai Naval Division, who commanded the ships of the Naval Division this time.
Li Xinchen bowed slightly, and looked at Wang Chang first: "When can I arrive at the White Emperor City?" ”
Wang Chang didn't expect Li Xinchen to get straight to the point, so he asked himself directly, and hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, tomorrow at noon, we will open the road in front of a few boats disguised as fishing boats to drive out of the Three Gorges, I'm afraid we will have to wait for these boats to come back to know, but according to the current speed, it will be no problem to arrive at the White Emperor City tomorrow evening." ”
Perhaps it was the reason for such a formal report in front of Li Xinchen for the first time, Wang Chang was a little nervous. And Li Xinchen said lightly: "No matter what the situation in White Emperor City is, we don't have much grain and grass with us, and we can't wait in the Three Gorges all the time. ”
After a pause, Li Xinchen pointed straight to the table: "You all come over and have a look." ”
Seeing that Li Xinchen didn't have any dissatisfied looks, and didn't seem to care much about himself, Wang Chang also breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately cheered up again. He didn't want Li Xinchen to really don't care about him, although he was only a sailor general who was responsible for cooperating, but if he could take this opportunity to make meritorious deeds, it would naturally be better.
Wang Chang was not a coward in the first place, otherwise he would not have been selected to cooperate with Li Xinchen.
If Li Xinchen gave him a chance, he would definitely not give up.
While thinking, Wang Chang stepped forward and set his eyes on the map with Chen Zhishen and the others.
As a standard science student, Li Xinchen certainly has enough solid experience in engineering drawing, so he redrew the floor plan of the White Emperor City on the basis of Luo Ya's sketch, and the map presented in front of Chen Zhishen and others at this time was completely different.
Before Chen Zhishen and the others could come back to their senses from this delicate map, Li Xinchen had already reached out and knocked on the dock that he had circled out heavily:
"You see, this is the White Emperor City Wharf, if you want to attack the White Emperor City, you must go ashore from here, climb hundreds of steps to attack the city gate, and at the same time, there are two small camps on the north and south sides of the wharf, water and land are parallel, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the barrier of the White Emperor City."
Chen Zhishen suddenly bared his teeth, as if the map in front of him was not an easy-to-defend fortress at all, but a prey that could be eaten at any time, even if the bones of the prey were relatively hard, he could chew it:
"General, you just give the order, the last general will definitely take down this White Emperor City!"
Li Xinchen smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Do you think this White Emperor City is so easy to take down?" ”
Chen Zhishen was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Li Xinchen to suddenly say such deflating words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
