Chapter 701: Operation Decapitation
"What about fire attack? How about attacking with fire? Zheng He then proposed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he was deducing the battle situation, Zheng He had been thinking of a way to break the enemy. Seeing that the frogman tactics were vetoed by the king, Zheng He was a little unwilling, and proposed another strategy.
"How to fire attack, let's talk about it specifically." Ouyang Shuo did not dampen Zheng He's enthusiasm.
They may be able to provide Jia Xu with some ideas after such a discussion.
"They will not be spared by arranging fierce fire oil and straw on the Red Horse Boat, arranging frogmen to pull the boat under the water, approaching the enemy warship, and setting the Red Horse Boat on fire." Zheng He explained.
Ouyang Shuo thought for a while, but still shook his head, "First, the enemy army is equipped with artillery, and the target of the Red Horse Boat is so obvious, I am afraid that it will be sunk before it gets close, and even the frogmen under the water will not be spared." ”
"Second, the river is narrow, and the enemy is flanking from the left and right, even if the red horse boat is lucky enough to reach the enemy ship and ignite the fire. Once the wind blows, the fire spreads, and I am afraid that it will cause a fire. ”
"Then, what about pouring fierce fire oil on the enemy warship directly by taking advantage of the night?" Zheng He's brain was opened.
"Frogmen are powerful, but they are not superhumans, how can they bring a large amount of fierce fire oil to the enemy's water village under the water, and they can't be detected by the enemy in the process." Ouyang Shuo shook his head with a smile.
When Zheng He heard this, he looked ashamed: "The king is thoughtful, and the general will admire it!" ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled and waved his hand, looked at Jia Xu again, and saw that Jia Xu had already shifted his gaze from the sand table, and there was a smile on his face, and asked, "Sir, did you think of a way to break the enemy?" ”
"There is a strategy, and I would like to ask you to refer to it." Jia Xu smiled and nodded.
"Sir, please speak!" Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed.
"The two strategies of Du Douti are both good ideas, but they have certain limitations. That said, it really inspired me. Both strategies involve frogmen, and both play a central role in the plan. During this time, I also knew a thing or two about special frogmen. ”
Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused, and then said: "The frogmen in your army are very magical, coming and going without a trace in the water, like a dragon crossing the river, seeing the head but not the tail. In this way, it is a bit overkill to arrange frogmen to carry out auxiliary tasks such as reconnaissance, boat chisel, and tugboat. ”
"Overkill?" Zheng He clearly disagreed.
Naval battles in the Mediterranean have long proven the value of frogmen.
"Since it is a dragon crossing the river, it can't be a snake, you have to show a little dragon ability. The dragon can not only hide in the dust, but also call the wind and rain. The best way to settle this fight cleanly is to carry out a decapitation operation. Frogman is undoubtedly the best choice. Jia Xu answered Zheng He's question.
"Decapitation?" Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed.
In reality, the duties carried by the frogman brigade, in addition to reconnaissance behind enemy lines, do have the word of beheading. The reason why Ouyang Shuo didn't think of this was because in his senses, the frogman brigade had not really taken shape.
To send them to carry out such a difficult task, Ouyang Shuo was a little unconfident.
"According to intelligence, the enemy army has a commander in the two major water villages of Wulin and Chibi, and each has an iconic flagship. As long as the frogmen take advantage of the darkness of the night, infiltrate the enemy's flagship, and succeed in beheading, even if only one is successful, it will be of great help to our next military plan. Jia Xu further explained.
"Sir, I'll interject." Ouyang Shuo pressed down with his hands, "The enemy's flagship is the same as our Dragon Head, and there are no less than one or two thousand sailors on the ship, and even more if you count the sailors." If you want to carry out decapitation, the difficulty is not ordinary, if you don't pay attention to it, the movement is too big, and the entire water village will be detonated. ”
"When that happens, I'm afraid that I won't be able to behead it, but I will startle the snake." Ouyang Shuo voiced his concerns.
If he could really be beheaded, of course Ouyang Shuo was willing.
Jia Xu is afraid that he doesn't know the setting of the lord player in the battle map. Once a Hero or Wolf is stabbed to death, their troops will disappear from the campaign map.
In that way, it can really be said that it is effortless to take Chibi.
Now the crux of the matter is how to ensure the success of the beheading.
Based on Ouyang Shuo's understanding of the hero, this person is not ordinary cunning, the city government is extremely deep, and the protection of the flagship has reached a harsh level.
If you really want to fail to behead and startle the snake, it will be a big trouble.
Jia Xu's expression was as relaxed as before, and he said with a smile: "Your Excellency is very worried. What I mean by this is that if you plan carefully, you have a 70% chance of success, and you can take a risk. ”
"I want to hear about it!" Ouyang Shuo bowed.
"First, as the king said, enemy warships, especially flagships, are in the same category as our warships. Therefore, we have an innate advantage that allows frogmen to familiarize themselves with the overall layout and detailed structure of the enemy ship in advance. In addition, we are able to develop detailed lines of action and contingency measures in advance. If you can, you can also practice one or two. ”
"This can be done." Ouyang Shuo nodded.
"Second, use fierce fire oil. As far as I understand, small amounts of fierce fire oil can be served in closed wooden barrels. After the frogman gets on the boat, he can first arrange the fierce fire oil in the key position in advance. When the time is right, ignite the oil immediately. When a fire is ignited, it can effectively block the officers and men on the flagship, and it can also hinder the rescue of other warships. Jia Xu continued.
Ouyang Shuo heard this, and frowned: "In that case, wouldn't the frogmen on the ship also be more auspicious?" ”
"In order for the plan to succeed, some sacrifices are necessary." Jia Xu said lightly.
Ouyang Shuo listened, but he felt a chill in his heart, worthy of being a "poisoner". If the decapitation plan is really to be implemented, the number of frogmen used will not be less than three thousand. In the end, there are very few who can escape.
Zheng He, who was on the side, also wanted to speak and stopped.
"Sir is right, I agree to this plan." Ouyang Shuo ignored Zheng He's face, made a decisive decision, and continued: "At the same time, in order to ensure the success of the beheading, I will arrange for five hundred divine guards to cooperate with the frogman brigade to act together. Shenwuwei's mission is to be responsible for killing the enemy commander. ”
"Your Majesty!" Jia Xu's eyes also flashed with a glimmer of light.
Jia Xu has long known what kind of existence the Shenwu Guards are, and they are more powerful guards than the Praetorian Guards. With the participation of Shenwuwei, the success rate of the entire plan will be increased by at least 30%.
Three thousand divine warriors, one-sixth of them were sacrificed at one time.
Regarding Ouyang Shuo's "ruthlessness", Jia Xu has a new understanding.
Those who are superior to others should have such an iron heart, and must not be soft-hearted. At this point, whether it is his lord Cao Cao or Liu Bei, who has not yet made a career, they are actually the same people.
Jia Xu's senses for Ouyang Shuo are getting better and better. Even the title of Ouyang Shuo has been quietly switched to "Junshang". Although this title is still only a matter of etiquette.
In the long run, Jia Xu was worried that he would be completely convinced by the young man in front of him and be willing to serve his life.
"It's really unusual!" Jia Xu sighed in his heart.
Of the people present, only Zheng He's face was a little depressed, this "Confucian general" has not fully adapted to this so-called decisive killing.
"Your Majesty." Zheng He wanted to speak and stopped.
"If you have anything to say, say it!" Ouyang Shuo's expression was uncertain, and his tone was light.
If Zheng He still said something depressing at this time, Ouyang Shuo was afraid that he would have to reconsider whether Zheng He could really be qualified for the position of Governor of the Nanyang Naval Division.
With the formation of the five fleets in place, the status of the governor of the Nanyang Naval Division is higher than that of the commander of the group army such as Bai Qi, commanding more than 500,000 troops under his command.
Not to mention, the existence of the Nanyang Naval Division is directly related to the maritime hegemony of the territory.
Therefore, the helmsman of such a strong sailor must not have the slightest kindness of a woman.
During the ocean voyage, Ouyang Shuo had already consciously reformed Zheng He's inherent concept, making him accept the cruelty and ruthlessness of war, and abandon the aura of "peacemaker" in history.
Now, it's time to test the results.
It is undeniable that Zheng He's tactical literacy is excellent, and his sailing experience is unsurpassed. But if Zheng He didn't have the intention to kill the generals, he would be completely unqualified.
Ouyang Shuo secretly decided the fate of Zheng He and the ocean-going fleet in his heart, and the matter was monstrous. But on the surface, no one could see the strangeness in Ouyang Shuo's heart.
The expression on Zheng He's face was also unpredictable and uncertain. From Zheng He's expression, it is not difficult to speculate that in the heart of this water master, there is a fierce battle between heaven and man.
The old and new ideas collided violently in Zheng He's mind.
The scenes of the previous life, the scenes of the ocean voyage, alternately change.
Zheng He is like two completely opposite spaces in the depths, and the whole person is completely torn in half, secretly suffering heart-rending pain.
On one side is mercy, and on the other side is killing.
Zheng He had been swaying from side to side before, and to be honest, he was in great pain.
Ouyang Shuo's words undoubtedly forced Zheng He to the edge of the cliff.
Zheng He is not a stupid person, he keenly feels that although today's conversation came suddenly, it was a matter of time or time.
The king's patience is limited, and Zheng He must make a choice and make a trade-off.
The atmosphere in the war room suddenly became solemn, making it difficult to breathe.
An uneasy breath wafted through the air.
There was not a single wind in the war room, and the entire space seemed to be frozen. Even Jia Xu restrained the smile on his face and silently looked at the pair of monarchs and ministers.
After a long time, Zheng He raised his head, his voice was already hoarse, his whole body was soaked, as if he had come out of a steamer, and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency, what the last general means is that underwater breathing apparatus are very rare. Sending 3,000 frogmen at once would cause too much damage if the respirators could not be recovered. Are you considering arranging a special person to collect the scuba apparatus after boarding the ship and send it back to the fleet first? ”
"Yes!"
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zheng He seriously, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
The air in the war room flowed again.
"Whew!"
I don't know who it is, but I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
