"Then let's retreat."

Regarding the tactical arrangements of his generals, Mo Xiaobai rarely refused, and immediately nodded in agreement.

In fact, he also felt that Yuan Meng's behavior was a little strange, he had just arrived at Hukou to re-establish the water village, so he wouldn't have to divide your life and death on the first day, right?

Are the Yuanmeng people so radical?

As the receiving warship successfully welcomed Han Zhao back, Zhou Yu began to slowly change formations and retreat. Yuan Meng really wanted to start a war and chase after him, and he Zhou Yu couldn't stop him, but at least he could choose a more favorable environment to meet the enemy.

However, it turned out that Yuan Meng did not continue to send troops to pursue, only a dozen small boats looked in the distance, and saw that many of the warships of the Great Song Dynasty had all retreated to the water village west of Poyang Lake, and they all scattered away.

Back in Shuizhai, Mo Xiaobai was still thinking about how to lay out the next battle.

The two sides confronted each other at Poyang Lake, each with its own advantages.

He has elite soldiers on his side, and Yuanmeng has a certain degree of military advantage, if he really wants to spread all the warships in Poyang Lake, Mo Xiaobai estimates that even if he can win, he will not be able to get too many benefits.

The Yuanmeng naval army is not good at fighting, but the melee can definitely exchange injuries for injuries.

However, in addition to water battles, the battle between infantry and cavalry on both sides is also the key to victory. The Yuanmeng cavalry is their killer weapon, and they have to guard against the Yuanmeng cavalry sending southward to drive straight into the sabotage.

"Come on, go and invite Fengxiao Junshi." Mo Xiaobai was a little worried that Yuan Meng was pulling his attention to do things behind his back, so he immediately asked people to go to Guo Jia.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, the guard beside him walked and spoke: "Lord, Guo Junshi is here." ”

Here it comes?

Mo Xiaobai and Chenxi glanced at each other, and their eyes were a little strange.

When did Guo Jia transform into Cao Ran and run away?

It's just that.

Under the strange gaze of the two, Guo Jia walked in for no reason, then looked down at himself, and said suspiciously: "Lord, what's wrong with Jia today?" ”

"Ahem, no, I was looking for you."

"Jia also has something important to tell the lord."

Of course, Guo Jia would not come to him for no reason, Mo Xiaobai immediately nodded: "You say it first." ”

"I just received a message from the black-clothed guard that there is a Yuan army near Shizhong Mountain." Guo Jia immediately said what he wanted to report.

Shizhong Mountain?

Hearing this, Mo Xiaobai spread out the map on the desk, and his eyes fell on the southeast corner of the Yangtze River into Poyang Lake, where there was a mountain-shaped marker.

Chenxi also looked sideways slightly, looked at the map and asked, "Is it the Shizhong Mountain that is famous for Su Shi's travelogues?" ”

"In terms of fame, it is indeed Su Shi who made 'The Story of Shizhong Mountain' and spread the wonders of Shizhong Mountain more widely." Mo Xiaobai nodded first, and then added: "But if you look at its location, it is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north and Poyang Lake in the south, which is an important link between the waters of the Yangtze River, and has always been a key garrison area for the defense line of the Yangtze River water system. ”

"But this time, you don't seem to have chosen to garrison here?"

"Not really."

Mo Xiaobai shook his head lightly, it was not that he didn't know the importance of Shi Zhongshan, but that he, Wen Tianxiang, and even Li Ji and others all felt that it was more advantageous to pull the battle situation into Poyang Lake, so they simply didn't take care of Shi Zhongshan in the northeast.

However, if you don't care about it, it makes sense for Yuanmeng to send troops to station in Shizhongshan. With Shizhong Mountain as a base, it is enough to monitor the entire forked waterway of the Yangtze River into Poyang Lake.

While looking at Shi Zhongshan's location, Mo Xiaobai asked, "Have you ever found out the specific troops?" ”

Feng Xiao smiled and nodded, but the next moment he asked: "Does the lord know that Yuan Meng is laying out in Shizhong Mountain this time, where are the troops hidden?" ”

Hearing Guo Jia's inquiry, Mo Xiaobai frowned with some surprise: "In the words of filial piety, they didn't send troops to be stationed on the mountain?" ”

If it's not in the mountains, where else can it be?

Hide in the water?

Mo Xiaobai just had this thought in his mind, and then carefully looked at Guo Jia's expression, and couldn't help but be surprised: "At the bottom of Shizhong Mountain? Can you hide soldiers too? ”

"I didn't know about it before, but now I know."

Guo Jia nodded slowly, confirming Mo Xiaobai's guess: "Shizhong Mountain is divided into two parts, north and south, and the location is slightly different, but the mountains are very similar, and there are natural karst caves on the side of the water, which can be entered and exited by boat. ”

"The Yuanmeng side took advantage of the naval armies of the two sides to fight in a formation on Poyang Lake, and quietly sent hundreds of boats from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River into the cave.

Hiding soldiers at the bottom of the mountain?

This is really, a big move with a lot of brains.

Fortunately, he was discovered by the black-clothed guard, otherwise, who would have thought that Yuan Meng would leave a hand there?

In the blink of an eye, Mo Xiaobai had already seen a lot of things from this small layout.

Poyang Lake water battle fights, Yuan Meng must strive for a fierce battle.

After retreating, he will naturally have the idea of chasing and killing.

As long as he catches up, Yuan Meng will abandon the water village and transfer the Great Song Navy to the south as much as possible.

At that time, in order to outflank the defeated soldiers of Yuanmeng, he may have to use his own foot soldiers.

Immediately after that, once the Yuanmeng cavalry came to help, it was bound to let itself send heavy troops to trigger a decisive battle.

In this way, there will not be much defense power in the camp on this side, if at this time, there are seven or eight thousand yuan troops suddenly killed from the river.

Mo Xiaobai didn't dare to think about what his 'nest' would be abused.

"Use the way to force themselves to fight a decisive battle to cover up their true purpose."

"It's really good, you have to trick me with your backhand!"

Mo Xiaobai, who has always been digging pits for others, saw that the Yuanmeng people actually set a trap under his nose, and immediately laughed angrily: "Fengxiao, Yuanmeng's move is not small, what are your good plans to deal with?" ”

"Lord, why don't I pretend not to know and plan the plan?"

"How?"

"The lord can be so, so......

When Mo Xiaobai listened to Guo Jia's whole set of plans, he couldn't help laughing: "It's worthy of Fengxiao, after only a while of getting the information, you have a complete plan, and you tell Mao Gong and Gongjin about the plan, and start arranging it from today." ”

"Well, Jia will do it." Guo Jia gave up slightly, and soon left the coach's account.

Seeing him leave, Chen Xi shook his head leisurely: "You can take Guo Jia away from the Guandu battlefield, you are really too profitable." ”

"Otherwise, how can I rest assured that all the information will be handed over to him to take care of." Mo Xiaobai said with a bit of self-satisfaction, although Guo Jia was not in a high position in the Great Dream City, his role was not lower than that of Guo Yuan, Li Ji and their deputy city lords.

"It's less smelly and beautiful, if it weren't for the intelligence of the black-clothed guard, you would still have a headache."

"My headache has been cured, and now it's the Yuanmeng people who should have a headache." Mo Xiaobai said, and his eyes also looked outside the account.

Yuanmeng wants a decisive battle?

It's good to go!

At the same time, Yuanmeng Lake Mouth Water Village.

Several Yuanmeng marshals also gathered together, and one of them, the Yuanmeng general, who had small eyes and a wide forehead, knocked on the desk: "Several warehouses in Lin'an were attacked before, and although we gathered 80,000 soldiers and horses to fight the Song Dynasty, the food could not support the autumn at all. ”

"If we don't want to run out of food and withdraw to Dadu, we can only win a decisive battle with the Great Song Dynasty!"
