Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

The bearded man said: "Because we will win this battle! Guo boy, do you know what the lonely king is most afraid of?"

"Uh... I don't know."

"What the lonely king is most afraid of is that the Fusang people only send a small group of enemies to charge each time. In that case, even if they win every time, they will hurt the enemy by one thousand and lose eight hundred, because the enemy has more troops than us, and whoever wins will die in the end. Not sure."

"Then what about the whole army pressing down this time?"

"Then they will definitely lose."

"How do you say this?"

"Small units fight, nothing more than relying on personal bravery. But if it is a decisive battle with a large army, it depends on the commanding ability of the general. In terms of commanding a large army, if I, Zhang Zhongjian, can't even compare with the people of Fusang, how can I have the confidence to dominate the world back then?"

"So, General Fuso's command ability is very weak?"

"Not only weak, but also weak, that's extremely weak! Fusang people have always been shrewd in small things, but confused in big ones. Qin Guogong, you have a good eye, let's see how this old man can break the thief!"

After finishing speaking, the bearded man issued an order to mobilize the army.

Under his order, Fuyu Kingdom's main formation was immediately divided into two, and a passage was opened.The Fusang people didn't know what it was, and thought that they had encountered a golden opportunity, and immediately rushed in with the whole army, intending to completely divide the enemy army.

This fell right into the bearded man's arms, the two fleets did not move in the middle, and closed at both ends.With a slight change of formation, the [-] Fusang Navy was surrounded.

At this time, it is the best time for Fuyu to use its own strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

As I said before, the ships of Fuyu Kingdom are far taller and stronger than Fusang.Whether it is a collision with a ship or a defensive attack, they all have the upper hand.

At this time, they were encircled on all sides, and they did not fight side by side, but on the one hand, they used arrows to shoot at their positions, and on the other hand, they used boats to ram them.

This time, Fusang's navy was out of luck. Seven or eight hundred ships were squeezed into a very small area.

Seeing this scene, Guo Ye could not help giving a thumbs up, and said: "I am convinced, I am completely convinced! There is a saying that a good fighter has no great achievements, and the ancients are sincere and do not deceive me. Zhang Guozhu made a small plan, a change It’s really admirable to set up the victory.”

The bearded man waved his hands again and again, and said: "Where, where, this is just bullying Fusang people who don't know the art of war. If you face the Tang Dynasty's navy, this trick is completely useless. Victory is not military, victory is not military! "

"Then what should we do next? Shall we start attacking?"

"At this point, how can there be any need to sacrifice the lives of the sons and daughters? I think Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind and set fire to Chibi. Now we are on the sea, let's follow the example of the ancients and set fire to Fusang!"

Guo Ye jokingly said: "Zhuge Liang used a series of tricks first, and then used bitter tricks, and finally borrowed the east wind to set fire to Cao Cao's navy. Your old man is much better than him. You don't need anything. Simply change the formation and put another Fire will do."

"That is, we have surrounded them on all sides. No matter what kind of wind blows, we can just set fire to the upwind. Although the Fusang people's boats are not connected by iron chains, they are all close together and surrounded by our army. They cannot escape in all directions. One command, rockets shoot out, and they're dead!"

"It's not too late to do that, just ask the lord to give an order."

"That's good, generals..."

woohoo~

Just as the bearded man was about to give an order, he suddenly heard the sound of a horn in the distance!

People followed the sound and saw white sails dotted in the distance, and a huge fleet was sailing towards them!

Wang Bodang's eyes were sharp, he stomped his feet suddenly, and said in a hateful voice, "So it's the bastard Baekje. Don't ask, they are the ambush soldiers arranged by the Baekje people! What should we do?"

The bearded man glanced at Guo Ye and said, "Duke Qin, what do you think?"

Chapter 1988 Guo Ye's Hole Card

Setting up an ambush in land warfare is a very common and easy-to-implement method.But ambushing the enemy in a naval battle is very difficult.

Especially in ancient times.

Above the sea, there is nothing to cover at all. If you want to ambush, there is only one way to choose - calculate the time, suddenly drive from a certain direction, and meet the enemy at the preset location.

But the problem is that there were neither satellites nor precise timing instruments in ancient times. It is really too difficult to realize this kind of just right ambush.

But it’s hard to return, and it’s really possible, such as today.

Obviously, Baekje and Fusang have long been in contact. First, Fusang's [-]-strong navy lured the enemy in front, and then the Baekje navy suddenly arrived, planning to completely kill the [-]-strong navy of Fusang.

Again, sea battles are much less suspenseful than land battles.If in the past, the bearded man could make up the gap between the two sides with his excellent command ability, then now, with the sudden arrival of the Baekje Navy, he is already powerless.

The current situation is the same as when His Majesty Li Er was trapped in Liaodong City. In a short period of time, the situation has changed suddenly.To besiege the enemy becomes to be flanked by the enemy on both sides and flanked by the enemy.

Fortunately, the enemy's encirclement has not yet formed.

It seems that the best way now is to quickly withdraw the entire army from the battle and run away.But the consequences of doing so are not optimistic.

The Fusang Navy has already gained the upper hand, can you escape if you want to?

Guo Ye estimated that the best result would be the loss of half of the ships and troops.If luck is a little bit worse, the whole army will still have to be wiped out.

It's all about death, do you want to fight hard?If those few letters of mine can work, it seems that there is no chance of winning.

Thinking of this, Guo Ye said: "I think that I can't retreat now!"

"Oh? Why is that?"

"Actually, Baekje and Fusang colluded, and we didn't expect it. In addition, there is no need to call Fusang and Baekje despicable, and we have no good intentions. Didn't I write a letter to contact the Silla Navy a few days ago?"

"What else?" In an instant, the eyes of all the generals on the flagship lit up.

Left Prime Minister Xu Fengnian frowned and said, "How do I know about this?"

The bearded guest said: "Old Xu, don't be angry, I didn't intend to hide it from you. In fact, no one knows about this except Guo Xiaozi and this king."

Right Prime Minister Li Yichang said: "The ancients said that if the king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, if his ministers do not keep secrets, he will lose his status, and if he does not keep a few things secret, he will suffer. Therefore, a gentleman is careful and does not come out. This matter is of great importance, and the country's main task is to keep it secret." Mr. Xu, don't take it to heart when you are old enough to seek the country."

Uncle Wang said: "It's okay to hide it from us, the key is where are the reinforcements from Silla?"

Guo Ye smiled wryly and said, "Silla promised to help, but the matter is too hasty. They have to assemble the army and raise food and grass. Whether they can arrive in time is anyone's guess."

"Then you still let us sit and wait?"

"If you don't just sit and wait, do you think we can still escape? Besides, the hole card in my hand is not just the Silla reinforcements."

"Oh? According to you, there are other reinforcements?"

"It's not reinforcements. I can't say what it is. To be honest, I'm not sure if it will work, but there is always hope."

Xu Fengnian knelt down on the ground and said: "I would like to report to the lord, Qin Guogong's opinion, I don't agree with it. The Silla reinforcements may not arrive in time, and as for his so-called other hole card, he is also vague. I'm afraid there is little hope. To be on the safe side, I think it's better to withdraw our troops!"

The bearded man frowned, and said, "Mr. Qin, almost all of the old man's capital is here. How sure are you?"

Guo Ye stretched out five fingers, and said: "The number of five or five! How to make a decision, I ask the king to think about it for himself. Someone in Guo dare not comment. But..."

"how?"
