"Lieutenant, the only plan now is to attack Liangshan Po as soon as possible and kill the thieves."
Niu Bangxi cupped his fists at Gao Qiu.
"Lord Lieutenant, now that the enemy's information is unclear, it may be dangerous to march rashly."
Zhou Ang said, the destruction of the navy proved that Liang Shanbo's power was not in vain, and such a powerful enemy would only fall into a dangerous situation if he used troops rashly.
"General Zhou, we have 50,000 forbidden troops, why are we afraid of mere enemies?"
Li Yuhou said.
"Lieutenant, I am willing to lead the troops first to test the enemy's strength."
Seeing Gao Qiu's bad expression, Qiu Yue knew that Gao Qiu intended to use troops, so he immediately spoke.
"Okay, you lead the three thousand soldiers first, and my army will arrive soon!"
Gao Qiu glared at Zhou Ang, then nodded to Qiu Yue.
"The general will definitely kill the thief with all his heart in order to repay the Taiwei for his kindness!"
Qiu Yue was overjoyed and saluted.
Qiu Yue quickly gathered 3,000 elite Forbidden Army troops. In order to guard against an ambush by the enemy, he specially brought a group of cavalry, a group of chariot soldiers, a group of crossbowmen, a group of shield soldiers, and a group of spearmen. He arranged them in this way Can cope with any sudden attack.
"Brother Qiu, be careful, these Liangshan thieves are not simple!"
Zhou Ang looked at Qiu Yue who was about to set off and said.
"Don't worry, look at my configuration. Can a thief have such equipment?"
Qiu Yue laughed, no matter how ferocious the Liangshan thieves were, they were just a group of thieves wearing animal skins and holding swords and guns. How could they compare with the Forbidden Army armed to the teeth?
Qiu Yue set off quickly with three thousand elites, but Gao Qiu had no intention of moving.
"Lieutenant, when should we set off?"
Zhou Ang cupped his fists at Gao Qiu.
"Not urgent!"
Gao Qiu waved his hand and said that he was not going to move forward until Qiu Yue sent back accurate information about the enemy. Although Gao Qiu wanted to take revenge, he was even more interested in his own life. Now that Liu Menglong's naval army had been destroyed, what could he do? It is these forbidden troops that we rely on, so naturally we are not willing to take risks.
Zhou Ang understood Gao Qiu's thoughts as soon as he heard it. Qiu Yue volunteered and was regarded as a pathfinder. This is normal in the army. In order to win, some people will always be given up.
Zhou Ang could only sigh and retreat. He had no way to help Qiu Yue and could only hope that Qiu Yue would be more careful.
Qiu Yue led the army all the way to the junction of Puzhou and Jeju.
"After passing this hill, you will reach Jeju. That is the control area of Liangshanbo."
Huang Wenbing pointed to the hill in front of him and said to Qiu Yue.
"Thank you Huang Zhizhou for leading the way!"
Qiu Yue cupped his fists at Huang Wenbing.
"Huang can only be sent here. I wish the general victory!"
Huang Wenbing hugged Qiu Yue and said, in addition to sending off Qiu Yue's army this time, he also wanted to see why the information had not been sent yet. He had sent many spies.
Qiu Yue led the army slowly up the hill, while Huang Wenbing led a group of men to a nearby grove.
"Lord Zhizhou!"
In the woods, several people saluted Huang Wenbing.
"Why haven't you come back with any information?"
Huang Wenbing was furious when he saw those people. They were all his cronies. They were hiding in the woods and waiting for Liang Shanbo's information to be sent back.
"Lord Zhizhou, none of the brothers from the past have come back!"
One of the owners said.
"How many people were sent there?"
Huang Wenbing asked with a frown.
"Eight, eight brothers have been sent over! None of them have come back."
The leader spoke.
"Lord Zhizhou!"
Suddenly, someone shouted in the distance. Huang Wenbing looked back and saw one of his men running back.
"came back!"
Everyone looked overjoyed. This person was one of the eight people sent to Liangshanbo.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on over there in Liangshanbo!"
Huang Wenbing asked quickly.
"The thieves mobilized their troops frequently, and there were troops and horses everywhere, in a prepared posture. In the past two days, we had to get a voucher for entry and exit. They didn't care when we entered. We were trapped in there and couldn't get out. It took a lot of effort for me to get out."
the man replied.
"Where are the enemy's troops and horses deployed?"
Huang Wenbing asked quickly.
"They are all around Liangshanbo, and there are not many troops in Jeju!"
the man replied.
"Okay, okay!"
Huang Wenbing was overjoyed when he heard that if the thieves were entrenched in Liangshanbo, they could recover Jeju first.
After climbing over the hills, Qiu Yue looked at the vast plains in front of him, feeling disdainful in his heart. What's so scary about this kind of terrain? The enemy can still fly into the sky and escape.
"Go forward at an even speed!"
Qiu Yue did not rush forward, but let the army advance at a steady speed. His mission this time was not to rush in, but to explore the road. He would send a cavalry to Puzhou to report the news every hour.
Qiu Yue led the army into the dusk, but still saw no shadow of the enemy. Qiu Yue was even more disdainful. The thieves were not as cunning as they thought. There were many places where they could set up ambushes along the way, but the thieves made no move. .
Puzhou.
"The thieves are all around Liangshanbo, and they are sending troops to Jizhou!"
After Gao Qiu heard the news from Huang Wenbing and looked at the information sent by Qiu Yue, he finally felt relieved. The thieves had not made any move, so he could capture Jeju first. This way he could report the good news to the court and cover up the defeat of the navy. past.
Gao Qiu gathered an army of 50,000 men, with Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong at the vanguard. Gao Qiu was in charge of the middle army, and Zhou Ang took the rear, and took advantage of the night to kill in a mighty way towards Jeju.
JiZhou.
"Brother, the big fish has been hooked!"
Lin Chong looked at Sun Lei and cupped his fists.
"Don't worry, wait and catch them all!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, this is Liu Menglong!"
Di Cheng took Liu Menglong to Jeju.
"Liu Menglong? Why do you come to the north when you are doing well in Jiankang Mansion? Not everyone can bear the waves in Liangshanbo."
Sun Lei looked at Liu Menglong who was pinned to the ground and smiled.
"You guys are just relying on the strength of the ship and the power of the guns. It's all the credit of the equipment. How can you be considered a hero!"
Liu Menglong looked at Sun Lei and said.
"Haha, stupid!"
Sun Lei laughed.
"I originally thought you were a naval talent, but now it seems that you are just a fool! If the navy doesn't rely on strong ships and powerful artillery, then what does it rely on? Jumping on the side of the ship? Cutting with a knife and shooting with a bow? Then why do you want to build ships and stab them? Wouldn’t it be faster to come here on a raft?”
Sun Lei looked at Liu Menglong. What Liu Menglong said just now made him very disappointed. Even thousands of years later, naval warfare still relies on strong ships and artillery, and manpower should have withdrawn from the main force of naval warfare long ago.
Liu Menglong was speechless for a while when asked. The development of the navy is the development of warships, and it is indeed inseparable from equipment.
"Take him with you and let him reform!"
Sun Lei waved his hand and said.
"Brother, Qiuyue's army has penetrated fifty miles into Jeju. Gao Qiu's army also set out from Puzhou and is expected to enter Jeju at dawn."
Hua Rong walked in from outside and said.
"Okay, the army will ambush according to the planned plan. Gao Qiu's army will capture it as soon as it enters Jeju!"
Sun Lei looked at everyone and said, the 50,000-strong army cannot be pushed too deep, otherwise the collapse of the army will cause chaos. This is not what should happen under Liang Shanbo's rule.
"Military advisor, what do you think if I take Puzhou?"
Sun Lei looked at Xiao Jiasui and others and asked.
