No change

From sunset to sunrise, from take-off to homecoming, ten hours is enough for the pigeon to fly from Qinling to Yingdu. As soon as the morning dawned, the most urgent message was sent from Yingdu to Xiangyang, and at the daily routine morning meeting, Nao Wei read this message, and everyone present was stunned.

"No way!" The most familiar with the war boat in the Great Sima Mansion was Yin Ezhuo, the secretary of the transportation department, and he stood up suddenly. "The Qin people are building war boats, and it is impossible to build more in just three months, so this news should be fake!"

"It must be possible!" Li and his view is completely opposite to that of Ezhuo, "The big wing war boat is only 6,000 man-days, and the five-oared big wing is only 10,000 man-days, if the Qin people know the art of building boats, they will build more than 1,000 ships in three months." ”

"More than a thousand?!" Everyone present was stunned before, but now they are in disbelief.

"There are tens of thousands of craftsmen in Shaofu, hundreds of thousands of subordinate concubines in Qin, Qin has made Ganluo return to Qin for more than three months, why not build a thousand war boats in 100 days?" Li remembered the workers needed to build the war boat, counting the days when Gan Luo returned to Xianyang, at most a hundred people could build a war boat, and a thousand war boats were only 100,000 people. And that's just the day, not the night.

"The upper reaches of the water have become a big lake, and this communication is also used to carry water." He continued. "The military has said that this year's water is shallow, and this is the reason. If the Qin people's war boats sail from Weishui into the water, they should go straight from the water to the ......"

If there is a water war between the two armies of Chu and Qin, the Operations Division has not communicated with each other where it will happen, and now Li and he knows. Water battles will not take place north of Yuanhu Mountain, but only in one place: Tianchi Daze north of Fuyi.

"Urgent! The Qin warships will go down the river to Daze, and they must be equipped in advance. Li talked to himself, and then he shouted.

"Someone!" Just hearing the word 'Daze', Nao Cunning became nervous, in addition to the four divisions and one brigade arranged in Yuanhu Mountain, the main force of the Western Front and the baggage of the whole army all floated on Tianchi Daze, if the Qin people's warships really attacked here, the consequences were unimaginable.

"Quick Order......" Nao held his breath slyly, waiting for the flying officer, he only said three words and couldn't catch his breath, he paused, took a breath before saying: "The order is passed, the Qin people already have five oars and big wings, and there are thousands of them." It will surely flow down the water into Daze, and it must be equipped immediately. The divisions of Zhao, Wei, and Ba, who were not accustomed to water warfare, and the artillery, horses, baggage, and military resources in the army, should quickly retreat to Fuyi and land on the shore in case of accidents. If the Qin people have countless warships, the Chu and Yue divisions should also retreat to the frustrated city......

It is also necessary to stop the road as soon as possible, and it is not allowed to attack the east until the news is received......"

In addition to Chencang Road, there is also Shangtai Road, and only Wuguan Road is temporarily safe. Nao was anxious in his heart, but he still grasped what was heavy and light. In the message, he not only asked the divisions that were not accustomed to water warfare to retreat, but also asked the divisions of Chu and Yue to retreat if the Qin people had too many warships and could not be defeated. The retreat along Chencang Road and the water line, the Yuanhu Mountain along the Baochuan Road also retreated, and the direction of Shangtai Road also retreated.

Without consulting with the various divisions present, Nao drafted the message and just glanced around at everyone, especially at Li He, and then said in a deep voice: "Quickly send it to the Chengtong Shogunate." Sickness! Sickness! Sickness! ”

Fu Yin personally said that he would increase the disease, increase the disease, and the flying officer immediately ran out, and the person did not run into the flying station, and his mouth was already shouting: "Add disease!" Sickness! Sickness! ”

It is not uncommon to see news articles about adding diseases, but it is rare to see such three news articles for adding diseases once a year. At one time, all the messages that were being transmitted stopped, and the highest-level reporter decoded the transmission. Prior to this, the message ordering the various flying stations in front to stop transmitting messages was issued, and all the 54 flying signal poles for 1,600 miles from Xiangyang to Fuyi were stopped and waiting. When the decoding of the first word was sent out from Xiangyang, the flying pole of the whole line swayed one by one.

Practice makes perfect, even if it was raining in the Nanzheng Basin at this time, and it was inconvenient to transmit the message in the rain curtain, it only took more than half an hour, and the news of nearly 200 words was transmitted to Fuyi. On the one hand, Fuyi sent it directly to the Chengtong shogunate through the flying boat on Osawa, and for the sake of insurance, the flying station copied a copy and sent a large wing warship to the Chengtong shogunate in person.

The transmission speed of the flight is not fast, but this message was sent from Yingdu to Xiangyang, and after the Xiangyang court discussion, it passed through the rain curtain and then sent to Fuyi, and it was already an hour after dawn. Cheng Tong on the flagship read the news and urgently summoned the strategists and Linwu Jun Pang Nuan, and while he was waiting for everyone to board the boat, the second copy of the three plus news after the discussion of the Yin of the Great Sima Mansion arrived.

"Why do the Qin people have war boats?" Pang Nuan was very puzzled after reading the two news articles. "And nearly a thousand of them?! Even if the Qin people really had a thousand warships, how could they go down the river? Now that the water is shallow, our army has set up artillery with the south of the old road and the side of the water? There is also a Yue Shi ...... ahead."

"General, the tide is suddenly rising today." Pang Nuan said that the water was shallow, and the shogunate immediately told him that the hydrology was different.

"How much is the water rising?" Cheng Tong showed a look of surprise and asked, "Why didn't you report it?" ”

"I don't know how much the water rises, but the water rises by at least a foot." It is difficult to speak if the geographical advantage does not get the exact size of the water rise, so you can only make the most superficial judgment.

Tianchi Daze is nearly a hundred miles long, and the width is a few miles or more than ten miles, and the water in such a place rises by a foot is really amazing. Pang Nuan was a little unimpressed, he remembered Handan, every year at the end of September and early October, Handan is full of autumn rain, and the upstream rain and water rise, nothing strange. "The water rises because of the autumn rain, and it has been raining continuously in Nanzheng these days, which is a common situation. I thought that the Great Sima Mansion was too worried! ”

"But I thought I had to worry about it." At the moment, there are only people in the shogunate, and the heart of Chengtong is his father's county Cheng Chengmo. "Fu Yin is definitely not Meng Lang's person, and Li Siyin is also a last resort. The three news articles came one after another, how could you not worry about this matter? The general is requested to order all divisions to retreat south as soon as possible. ”

"The order to move forward was just passed yesterday, but at this time the divisions were to withdraw south...... "Four days ago, the Yue division was sent north to the old Daoyi, and yesterday afternoon, the people of the Yue division returned to tell each other, and in the afternoon they discussed the army, and after the military discussion, the generals returned to the camp to prepare to go north. Now don't go north, but immediately retreat south, and the boat queue will inevitably be chaotic.

Pang Nuan's words were not unreasonable, Cheng Tong also thought of the chaos of the queue to retreat south, he compromised and said: "The whole army is heading north, don't retreat south in a hurry, please summon the generals of all divisions to discuss countermeasures!" ”

"General, never!" Cheng Mo hurriedly shook his head when he heard this. "The Great Sima Mansion has already issued an order, so why do you need to discuss it again? If the Qin people's war boats suddenly come during the discussion, what will our army do? ”

"Big fallacy!" A black-faced county man who doesn't know how to fight, if he wasn't born into a family, how could he become Chengtong's heart? And he, a world-famous general who attacked Qin and won several battles, could only become a mere general.

Pang Nuan didn't think about the difference between himself and Cheng Mo's background at this time, but he always despised Cheng Mo. He rebuked the ink and said: "Therefore, the Daoyi is two hundred miles here, and the Qin people are sailing at dawn, and they can only get here at night." At this time, the generals of each division should be summoned, why not? ”

Of course, Chengmo, the county of Chengmo, didn't know how far away the Daoyi was, so Pang Nuan stopped him with a word. Pang Nuan raised his voice and continued: "The Qin people's thousands of war boats are really to this Tianchi Daze, I should retreat south, but although Tianchi Daze is wide, the water is narrow. Why didn't the general arrange artillery in the canyons above Daze, if the Qin people's war boats went down the water, our army would bombard them with artillery, just like the battle of Weinan that year. ”

The Battle of Weinan was a classic example of winning more with less. After this battle, everyone in the world knew that the king of Chu was good at using soldiers, but Pang Nuan, who had read the detailed report of the battle, scoffed at this, and the reason why the Qin army was defeated was because the Qin people were clever and the Qin king was stupid.

Pang Nuan's perception of this did not prevent him from absorbing the combat experience of the new troops. For example, the cavalry must not be deployed forward, and the artillery corps can be arranged along the coast, and the artillery fire can block the boat division. Previously, the Qin people blocked the waterway of the canyon and fired iron bullets with crossbows to slam the soldiers, but now why not do the opposite, arrange artillery in the canyon above Daze, and hit it with artillery fire.

"Good! Great goodness! "As soon as Chengtong describes a change, he immediately calls it good." Outside the divisions, quickly summon the generals of the artillery to strike at the enemy! ”

Chengtong summoned the generals of each division, quickly summoned the generals of the artillery to defeat the enemy, and waited for no news to arrive in Xiangyang, and the shogunate strategists urgently checked the map to find out where to place the artillery, and Pang Nuan thought of a clever plan.

"Why do the Qin people also have war boats?" After the expiration of the general rate, Cheng Tong ordered people to read through the news of the Great Sima Mansion, Sima Shang, Gongsun Mao and others hurriedly got up, and their reactions were even more shocking than those of Chu Jiang.

"Please finish the message." The news was interrupted at the beginning, and the generals were so frightened that Cheng Tong had to ask everyone to listen to it all.

"If the Qin people have a thousand warships and flow into this Daze, our army will be defeated." Sima Shang had already stabilized his mind, "When the speed is clear, it is frustrated." ”

"General Sima, don't worry, Lin Wujun also has a good plan." Cheng Tong said with a smile. "The Qin people have 10,000 warships, and there should be no return."

"Oh?" Everyone's eyes were all looking at Pang Nuan. Pang Nuan coughed a few times, motioned to the strategist to unfold the water map, and then began to speak.

"This is the mountain stream where the Qin people blocked the waterway," he pointed to the location of the Lingguan Gorge, "This is the first gorge in the north of Daze, and the fish pass is also." If the Qin people's war boat goes down the water, I will set up artillery at Yuguan to bombard it, which can block its way, if I am ......"

Pang Nuan was old, but his ambition was still there, and he pointed to Lingguan Gorge again, and his strength was too great to poke the map held by the strategist. He said disappreliantly: "The Qin people have no way to advance, if I set up artillery here, the Qin people will not attack, and if they retreat, they will attack fiercely, and the Qin people will have no way to retreat." ”

"Isn't this to lock the Qin people here?" Comparing the map, Pang Nuan's strategy was understood by everyone as soon as it was said. This is what it means to shut down and beat the dog.

"Exactly." Pang Nuan stroked his white beard. "The two gorges are more than 100 miles apart, and 10,000 warships can also be closed."

"Good!" The generals admired Pang Nuan's strategy and locked the Qin Renzhou Division in the Shuishui Canyon and slowly cleaned it up, which was really good.

"The general has ordered the Yue Division and the Yuanhu Mountain divisions to quickly deploy artillery in the canyon, and the Qin people will not attack when they pass, and they will attack fiercely if they retreat." Chengtong and Dao, confident.
