"Congratulations, General. Congratulations, General."
Seeing the heated scene below, where everyone was firing with all their might, the little military advisor came over happily.
"It is said in the book of war: war is about the right time, place, and people, and among the three, people and people are the most important. Numerous victories in ancient and modern times have completely proved this point. Talent is the key to determining the outcome of a war."
"Now our left-wing soldiers are all in high spirits under the encouragement of the general. Everyone is fighting bravely to kill the enemy, regardless of hard work and fatigue. Invisibly, they have made a good start for the victory of this war."
"As the saying goes, a good beginning is half the victory. I think the general can return to camp and write a victory report in advance."
Ha ha.
Fang Yuanwu felt relieved after hearing this, and kept stroking his specially grown beard.
"War is not a child's play. As a general, remember to keep a low profile and be cautious in your words and deeds. This war has just begun. Drawing conclusions now will inevitably arouse doubts and suspicion from others."
After saying that, he took a deep look towards the middle road, which is the frontal defense line of Dinghai Pier.
The little strategist understands instantly.
In the same legion, there is also competition pressure between generals.
Whoever leads the troops well can make the enemy flee as soon as he takes action;
Whoever leads a weak army will collapse before the enemy is defeated.
Not only the supervisors sent by the Ministry of War, but other generals in the same legion will also see it.
In the end, everyone knows who is powerful and who is incompetent.
Especially Fang Yuanwu, the left-wing general, actually took it from Lin Hanmo.
The generals who were closely related to Lin Hanmo and the Hou Mansion behind him were naturally unhappy and wanted to compete or even stumble with him.
For example, Dai Puyu in the middle defense line.
"General, the high ground on the left wing is our territory. It doesn't matter what you say. And as long as we do our job well. As for the Japanese pirates coming ashore, whether General Dai's center line of defense can withstand it is up to him. It’s about that.”
"Yes." Fang Yuanwu nodded.
"Last year's Dinghai Wharf Battle, all the generals studied the process carefully. Especially the left wing high ground where we are now, its geographical location and role are extremely important. As long as the trebuchet group is launched, the Japanese pirates can hardly raise their heads."
Speaking of this, Fang Yuanwu felt a little emotional.
"Because of that battle, Zhang Yang, a humble deputy county captain, stole the show. After the war, he was even named and praised by the Minister of War, Guan Shangshu, saying that his future was limitless."
Hum.
The little military advisor laughed disdainfully.
"Zhang Yang? It's just bad luck."
He comforted: "General, it's just a local garrison. No matter how promising Zhang Yang is, he can only be promoted to the rank of county captain, far away from you."
"Yes." Fang Yuanwu agreed and nodded proudly.
It's different myself.
Born in Star City, he has a solid background.
At a young age, he was already one of the eight generals of the Central Army Corps.
This is almost a high position that Zhang Yang can hardly reach after working hard all his life.
As long as he fights the current battle well, he will completely replace Lin Hanmo in the future and secure his position in the army.
When Dai Puyu is in the middle, no matter how displeased he is, he can only endure it silently in the end.
And maybe the Japanese pirates came ashore and Dai Puyu couldn't handle it, and in the end he had to go to the left wing to ask him for help.
"Congratulations, General." The young military advisor nodded his head in flattery.
"The Sishan Islands were surrounded by the East China Sea barrier. General Lu became fierce, and he could be said to be attacking in the direction of destroying the islands. Ishikawa Taki had nowhere to go. If he wanted to survive, he could only place his hope in Huayang County. .”
"So once they get ashore, the Japanese pirates' offensive will definitely be crazy."
"Lin Hanmo lost his troops when he encountered Japanese pirates at the beginning of last year. He beat him worse than Zhang Yang, which made everyone in the army look disgraceful. Although Dai Puyu, a piece of jade, speaks eloquently, his subordinates feel that his ability to lead troops is probably He is no better than his cousin Lin Hanmo, and sooner or later he will humble himself and beg the general."
Ha ha.
Fang Yuanwu laughed heartily.

At sea, Kawashima Fleet.
Taro Kawashima stared at the flying rocks and arrows in front of him.
Especially when I saw that most of the attacks fell into the sea, not even touching the edge of the front battleship.
He couldn't help but look strange.
"General," the military advisor was also a little confused, "What's going on with Yun Chui Ren?"
Even before their warships were within range, they launched a desperate attack from the shore.
Looking at the frequency and density of the attacks, uninformed people would have thought that the two sides had come into close contact and it was time to fight to the death.
Could it be that the central army's reserves of stone bullets, kerosene and crossbow arrows were too much to hold?
Suddenly, Kawashima's eyes shone brightly, and he punched the side of the ship in front of him.
"This general orders me to slow down all warships and hang nets for repairs. I want to see how much artillery and crossbow arrows Fang Yuanwu has in reserve."
"Yes!" The messenger ran away in a hurry.
"General," the young strategist hesitated, "consuming the enemy's supplies is a good thing, but General Ishikawa's order is for us to attack with all our strength and land as soon as possible..."
Kawashima seemed not to hear anything and continued to issue orders.
"If the fire caused by the enemy's attack does not endanger the foundation of the battleship, don't worry about it. At the same time, each ship will move all the garbage in the bottom tank to the deck. We will also set fires ourselves. The thicker the smoke generated, the better. Do you understand?"
"This..." Everyone, including the messenger, looked at each other.
"Why don't you hurry up and give the order?" Kawashima turned his head and looked coldly at the other messenger, "I want you to tell me one more time!"
"I understand." The soldier was startled and ran away wiping his sweat.
Soon, Kawashima's strange order spread throughout the fleet.
No matter what the generals in charge of the ships were thinking, after a while, thick black smoke was rising from each ship.
When the southeast wind blows at the right time, they fly towards the shore like they cover up the sky and the sun.
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the left wing high ground.
Report!
A soldier grinned and ran to the recorder like an arrow.
"The No. 30 long-range suppression trebuchet unit was the first to injure the enemy Otsuka battle battalion. Please record it!"
The man had not finished speaking.
Report!
Another scream of excitement.
Another soldier with a cheerful smile ran over from nowhere.
"Recorder, my No. 104 long-range attack trebuchet unit was the first to damage the enemy's battle camp class, Bengang. The enemy ship has already emitted thick black smoke, and it is estimated that it will sink soon."
"Nonsense." The first soldier was so angry that he was dizzy. He turned around and pointed, "I was the first crew to damage the enemy ship on the 30th. If you don't believe me, take a look at the Otsuka."
The recorders subconsciously looked towards the sea.
However, all the trebuchets and crossbows on the high ground on the left wing were attacking.
The eastern sky was filled with all kinds of gorgeous firelights, and black smoke rose everywhere on the sea.
For a while, several people couldn't find where the Otsuka was.
Ha ha.
No. 104 scoffed.
"You and him are driving a long-range suppression trebuchet, and I'm driving a long-range attack trebuchet. Can you damage enemy ships faster than me?"
Number 30 is not to be outdone.
"Attack aircraft are great, they can shoot farther and faster. But machines are just machines. We brothers work hard every day to practice starting up the machine, reloading quickly, aiming fast, and destroying items quickly. We should be the first. of."
"Go away with your brew..."
…
The two sides were very angry, and the father-in-law said he was right, and the mother-in-law said she was right. They refused to give in to each other. Several record-keepers were at a loss when they heard the veins jumping on their foreheads. (End of chapter)
