1376 Battle of the Minjiang River

Zhao Yun admitted frankly that he had organized a large army to attack the south bank, but the opponent's warships were fast and their archery skills were high, so they could only retreat after a battle.

"Since Gao Ding is so strong, why don't you attack?" Zhuge Liang pondered.

"As far as I can see, it must be waiting for Meng Huo's soldiers and horses to arrive, and with superior troops, there is a chance of victory." Ma Yan, who joined the army, said, and Chen Zhen, the chief historian, nodded in agreement.

"What you say is reasonable, and at this moment, you should think about how to cross the Min River, so as not to unite the two. Guys, do you have a plan? Zhuge Liang asked.

"You can spread your forces along the river and cross the river separately." Chen Zhen said.

"This is inappropriate, if it is surrounded by the enemy, even if it crosses the river, there will be great losses." Ma Tan objected.

"As General Zhao said, Gao Ding is fast and good at shooting, and only by scattering can his advantages be difficult to demonstrate." Chen Zhen insisted on his point of view.

"In the same way, our advantage has weakened as a result." Ma Tan said calmly, and Chen Zhen, who refuted a word, was speechless.

Wang Baoyu nodded secretly, saying that Ma Jian talked on paper and exaggerated, and from today's dialogue, he was not a useless person in the legend, but more insightful.

Zhuge Liang also felt that Ma Tan was right, he didn't have a proper plan for a while, and according to the advantage of troops, he forcibly crossed the river, and the loss of Yan zhòng was not what he wanted to see.

"Baoyu, in your opinion, how to cross the river is more appropriate?" Zhuge Liang asked.

Everyone's eyes looked at Wang Baoyu, full of expectation, the dignified King of Hanxing has won many battles, creating a lot of glorious war history of winning more with less.

Now that he is here, of course Wang Baoyu has to fully support Zhuge Liang, after decades of training, he has countless experience in water battles, and his experience is naturally needless to say.

"Sir, wait another ten days, and then we will definitely be able to cross the river along the river." Wang Baoyu said confidently.

"I wonder what Uncle Huang's plan is?" Ma Tan hurriedly asked.

"Hehe, everyone will know when the time comes."

It was equivalent to saying nothing, Zhuge Liang knew that Wang Baoyu didn't want to divulge the secret, so he ordered everyone to retreat, so he asked: "Baoyu, what is the best plan?" ”

"Sir, your method of fighting is too old-fashioned, relying only on the competition of generals and the fight of soldiers, which is not only inefficient, but also has heavy casualties. The reason why I won all the way was because I used new long-range weapons, which had a strong deterrent effect on the enemy's strength and psychology. By the way, it was designed by Sister Yueying! Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"But the flaming fireball cannon?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"That's right, with this kind of thing, the range is long, the power is great, and after a few strokes, the other party will sink with the boat and people." Wang Baoyu said proudly.

"I don't know about this thing, the kind of grease that can be burned on the water has not been found in Shu." Zhuge Liang said regretfully.

"Hehe, I've hoarded a lot, and when I write to Qian Mo immediately, he should be not far away, and he will bring a few fireball cannons to help. Coupled with the crossbows, their archers were already dead before the arrows of the high order could be fired. Wang Baoyu said confidently.

"Thank you so much Baoyu!" Zhuge Liang was very happy, and asked with a slight frown: "If you use this fireball cannon in future battles, I am afraid that the casualties on both sides will increase." ”

"Sir, this is the trend of historical development, what is the fire ball cannon, in the future, it will be stealth fighters, nuclear missiles and biological and chemical weapons, and the ending will be simply ruinous."

Wang Baoyu shook his head, Zhuge Liang paid the most attention to the present, and was not interested in listening to the things of the future world, thinking about it and expanding Wang Baoyu's thoughts, and ordered to immediately build a solid net, and he wanted to capture E Huan alive.

Qian Mo's army had already marched to Yangke City at this moment, and after receiving Wang Baoyu's order, he immediately sent people to send five fireball cannons non-stop, and he only had ten in his hand, and he had to leave five to conquer Zhu Bao, the defeated general of his former subordinates.

Zhuge Liang selected five large warships, placed the fireball cannon on them, and then let the two thousand elite soldiers brought by Wang Baoyu board these warships, they are proficient in using this weapon, and they are all proficient in water.

As soon as Qiē was ready, Zhuge Liang issued an order to march, and early the next morning, five hundred warships started on the whole line, rushing towards the opposite bank, and five warships with fireball cannons drove in an inverted triangle at the front.

According to Zhuge Liang's judgment of people, the brave are more resourceless, and he concluded that Ehuan's warship would rush ahead, just enough to defeat it in one fell swoop.

Because Wang Baoyu's plan is in a state of secrecy, everyone still doesn't understand this kind of arrangement, there is no general on the five big ships in front, to put it bluntly, it is just a small group of sailors, it is easy to be controlled by the enemy, if it is unfavorable, will it not lose these warships?

In the eyes of everyone, fighting a war depends on the strength of one arm, the general takes the lead, the soldiers are in formation, and the victory and defeat are divided among the swords and swords.

Gaoding soldiers and horses have long been paying attention to every move on the other side, and when they saw that the other side launched troops, they immediately greeted them, but they were also quite disciplined, and the five hundred warships showed a flamboyant semi-arc shape, sailing violently, and there was a great posture of encircling the warships on this side.

Driving in the front is a huge warship, very fast, followed by more than a dozen smaller warships on both sides, Wang Baoyu took out a telescope to see, only to see that on the bow of the big ship, proudly stood a general, almost two meters tall, burly as a hill, this person is holding a large Fang Tian painting halberd, the face is muscular, ugly and vicious, like Zhong Kui reincarnated, the child will be scared to cry when he sees it.

This must be E Huan, really good, quite a brave general, Wang Baoyu jokingly said to Zhuge Liang: "Sir, I can't come in vain." In this way, if Ehuan is willing to surrender, give it to me! ”

"Hehe, there must be no guards!" If Zhuge Liang Cave looks at the fire, he directly points to the road.

"Now that my territory is bigger, the more generals the better." Wang Baoyu nodded and smiled.

Seeing that E Huan's warship was getting closer and closer, Wang Baoyu could even see the smug smile on his face, and Fang Tian's halberd was also raised, pointing to this side arrogantly, his big mouth was closed one by one, it should be an order to charge.

Sure enough, the speed of the opponent's warships was faster, and the target was also the ships in front. Seeing that the distance was almost there, Wang Baoyu immediately ordered the cannon to be fired, and at the same time told E Huan's warship to shoot at the boat gang as much as possible, and it was best not to hurt him.

Thundered! With the deafening sound of cannonballs, the fireball cannon began to fire, and a huge fireball flew on the surface of the river, dazzling and dazzling, so startled that E Huan's mouth opened wide and almost fell into the water.

The explosion kept coming, and those warships that followed Ehuan's side, in the blink of an eye, the ships ignited an inextinguishable fire, and some were directly overturned in the water by the huge impact force.
