(The third update arrived, and there was a chapter at eight o'clock in the evening.) Thank you for your 2013 tip! ）

Hurriedly sending away Gongsun Auntie, Li Jing immediately urgently summoned all the officers above the team to hold a military meeting.

After all the officers arrived, Li Jing solemnly announced the information he had just bought, causing an uproar. Wang Chong was dumbfounded and shouted, "Is this true? ”

"This is the information that I spent 3,000 yuan to buy, or did the other party read it in half the first time. Intelligence is basically certain to be reliable, and now we have to talk about how to meet the enemy. There are less than two days left, and at least 500 pirates will attack. Li Jing said.

Wang Zhong scolded: "Wang Jin, this donkey day thing, we gave him a face and put Liu Qi back, not only was he not grateful, but he actually dared to do this black hand." Grandma's, general, it's better for us to strike first, let's take the Ninghai to kill the Dengzhou Water Village first, and directly capture the old boy alive, and see what he still does. ”

Li Jing sat in the top seat and just shook his head. Wang Chong's idea is too impulsive, although he can get over it and relieve his anger verbally. But it is not practical, the enemy is coming in two days, but at this time he runs to the water village, the Dengzhou Navy Division has a strong water division, and has a thousand regular water division officers and soldiers. Moreover, the sailor division is close to Dengzhou City, and the Longshan battalion is not far from Da Xie Yan and the Dengzhou soldiers, and they want to take a boat with hundreds of people to fight the water village to catch Wang Jin, which is simply wishful thinking.

Besides, even if he could really do it, Li Jing would not make such a decision unless he had to. After all, Wang Jin's collusion with pirates is secret, even if Li Jing knows it, but the source is secret, and it is impossible to talk about it on the table. There is no definite evidence to prove that Wang Jin colluded with pirates, and he Li Jing dared to attack other soldiers and horses, which is a big crime that can be used to raise troops and cause chaos, and even Song Wei and Cui Yunqing will not be able to protect Li Jing at that time.

"That doesn't work, so what do we do?" Wang Zhong asked.

Li Jing tapped lightly on the table, "Everyone has expressed their opinions and said their thoughts." Don't worry about it or not. Teamwork is key. ”

Sun Deyan sat at the end of the seat, carrying the generals who were silent, and couldn't help twisting around, wanting to say but not daring to take the lead. Li Jing had already seen his movements, and said angrily: "Since Counselor Sun is in the position of counselor, he must be responsible for the duties of the counselor's military affairs." The current situation is when you need to do your job. What do you hesitate about, say what comes to mind. ”

"Yes, the general's criticism is right, and it is the wrong position." Sun Deyan stood up, first self-criticized, he knew that he was not welcomed by Li Jing. So be careful everywhere. has eaten a cold bench with Feng Zhang for several years, and now that he finally met a boss who is okay with him, he still wants to do something.

"The general's words just now are very right, we can't do anything to Wang Jin until we can come up with definite evidence to prove that Wang Jin colluded with pirates. In the current situation, since we have already known that Wang Jin colluded with the pirates to attack us, then our focus now is not to care about how Wang Jin colluded with the pirates, but how to face the attack of the pirates. Just solve this level first. We have time to take care of Wang Jin's collusion with the pirates. ”

Li Jing nodded appreciatively: "What Counselor Sun said is right. The top priority is to ignore everything else, how to face the five hundred upcoming pirates is the key. Counselor Sun. What do you suggest? ”

"My opinion is that we now have a huge advantage, which is that we have the enemy's operational plans, and the enemy still knows nothing."

"What do you mean?"

Sun Deyan said with some pride: "Since the enemy is fighting with the idea of a surprise attack, they pretend to be a caravan to enter the port close to Salmon Island and want to attack at night. In this case, why don't we come up with a plan, wait for work, spread the net, and strike later? ”

"Will the plan be calculated, and the latter will strike?"

Lin Wei rubbed his hands, and said with a glow in his eyes: "That's a good idea, don't they want to raid at night, then let's have an ambush battle, close the door and beat the dogs." ”

After some discussion, the generals also felt that this plan was highly feasible. There are now 2,000 soldiers on Salmon Island, and the total number of soldiers is nearly 1,000, but the training time is not long, and it is still very cruel to really fight the 500 fierce pirates head-on. However, if the ambush is fought, the defenders' advantages can be maximized and casualties can be minimized.

The exact location of the ambush has been debated for a long time. Many officers proposed to set up an ambush directly at the Shikou Pier, and when the pirate fleet had just docked, the pirates suddenly launched an attack halfway through the ship. Attack with bows and arrows, then surround with pikes, and then jump back to the sword and shield to attack the ship. The advantage of this plan is that it is unprepared, and it is a chaotic time when the pirates disembark halfway through the ship. And many officers still have a thought that they don't say directly, that is, they are unwilling to let pirates go to the island. Because if the fight breaks out on the island, then the battle is likely to involve the camp outside the city, where there are many soldiers' families, and it is not good if the soldiers' families are injured.

For this plan, Li Jing is still not satisfied after thinking about it for a long time. The downside is that once the attack begins, there is a good chance that the pirates will quickly retreat to the ship. After the pirates retreat to the ship, they can rely on the sea ship as a cover, and there may not even be some heavy equipment such as crossbow beds and trebuchets on the ship. Moreover, the pirates can also sail out of the dock at any time, and at that time, they can only drive back the pirates, not defeat or annihilate the pirates, which is not in line with the requirements in Li Jing's heart.

"According to intelligence, the pirates will go ashore at Shikou Wharf to the west of the town, so they are most likely to abandon the camp outside the city and attack the fort directly after they go ashore. The most likely sneak attack is the west gate of the fort. Therefore, I wonder if we can mobilize most of the troops and horses to set up an ambush inside the West Gate, and when the pirates come in, we will come to close the door and fight the dogs. ”

Zhang Hong said worriedly: "What if the pirates attack the camp outside the city first, or divide the troops, and attack the fort city while attacking the camp?" ”

"Then evacuate all the people in the camp outside the city into the city first, leaving only the empty camp."

"The new city is being built, and the south and east walls of the fort have been almost demolished, but the new walls have not yet been built. These two walls are now undefended, what if the pirates bypass the west gate and attack from the south or east? Cui Zhiyuan also raised an issue that should not be ignored.

Li Jing tried hard to think about countermeasures, but his brows were twisted together, and he couldn't think of a suitable countermeasure for a long time. The biggest problem in luring the enemy into the city and ambushing them is how to get the pirates to drill through the west gate instead of the south and east gates.

After a while, the monk Xuancheng, who attended the meeting together as an observer, but had been sitting silently with his eyes closed, spoke.

"I have seen the walls of the east and south cities before, and they have not been demolished, but they have just been demolished halfway, and they are basically still chest high. In addition, the old wall on the west side also has many gaps, some of which are one or two zhang wide, and the gaps are only two or three feet high, which is shorter than the wall that has been demolished in the east city. ”

"Monk Hua, what do you mean by this, why are you brainless?" Lin Wu looked at the monk who had closed his eyes again after saying those two sentences, and asked incomprehensibly. Since Xuan Cheng accepted Li Jing's proposal, stayed on Salmon Island, and served as a guest stick leader, everyone has become accustomed to such a monk. For example, Lin Wu didn't even call his Dharma name, but called him a flower monk. But Xuan Cheng doesn't have a temper, no matter how everyone shouts, he also has that smile.

Several generals reacted slowly, and they didn't understand what the monk meant, but Sun Deyan had already frowned, and said loudly: "What does the master mean that the pirates will not go to the east city and the south city, but will only attack from the west gate?" ”

Li Jing slapped his palm: "Yes, we can send more people to serve as soldiers on duty in Dongcheng and Nancheng, and plant more torch banners." When the pirates saw this, they must have thought that most of our troops were defending in the southeast, and they would definitely not choose the east and south when they arrived. There are many openings in the west wall, and if the pirates attack the city, they will definitely choose to enter through the gaps. All we need to do is ambush the men and horses near the gap, and then we will be able to do it in one fell swoop. ”

"Five hundred pirates must be fierce outlaws, can we fight them?" Du Zhongwu suddenly raised a question that everyone ignored.

There are 2,000 soldiers on Salmon Island, but 1,000 are auxiliaries and logistics troops, and only 1,000 can really be counted as soldiers. The pirates, on the other hand, have five hundred, and they are real outlaws. Even if it is an ambush, do you really fight with your life?

Many of the newly promoted team leaders and team deputies were a little worried and hesitated, except for the time when they dealt with a group of rabble in Wangli Village, the town soldiers had no actual combat experience at all. Not to mention that the upcoming opponent is a group of outlaws who roam the seas.

Li Jing took everyone's reaction to heart, coughed, and said with a smile: "Fight hard, we can win, but there will definitely be a lot of casualties." However, if it was an ambush instead, and it was an ambush in the city, then Ben would have full confidence and certainty that he would be able to defeat and annihilate the pirates in one fell swoop. ”

"Dig more pits, set more traps, and when the enemy is in ambush, just shoot arrows. Don't be afraid of consumption, shoot as much as you can. Then the spearmen lined up and surrounded them, and they were not left alone. In addition, when the time comes, prepare more shields, put on armor, and only a few hundred pirates, whether they have a heart or not, can't they fight hard, and we can't fight an ambush? ”

"On the order of the general, the battle shall be carried out, and forty percent of the enemy killed or captured shall be "captured"; Twenty percent of the enemy killed or captured is "captured"; Ten percent of the enemy killed or captured is "captured". Each person in the whole army was rewarded three times, and each person in the middle was rewarded twice, and everyone was rewarded consistently. In addition, according to the team's merit, each team won the first grade, each level of two runs. Every captive, the same three through. Kill or capture the leader, or capture the banner, and the reward will be tripled! ”

The words immediately ignited the passion of all the officers, and no one hesitated.

"Brother Lin, I will give you a special task, you gather you and Lin Wu and Wang Chong's family team, and ambush them at Shikou Pier tomorrow night, and when the pirates come ashore and the battle breaks out on the castle side, you will immediately lead your men and horses to attack the remaining personnel on the pirate ship, and be sure to capture the pirate ship."

"Understood." Lin Wei took the order.

Li Jing's palms were clenched into fists, since the one-eyed Jiao dared to attack him, this time, he would tell him to come and go. (To be continued.) )
