General Qin Jin took his scouts to personally check the situation on Mosjiu Island. They came back and forth for more than a month.
After returning, Qin Jin immediately went to Lin Ye to report the situation. This young general, who was only promoted by the Supreme Saint in recent years, also had an extremely flexible mind and cunning vision.
"The enemy's defense on Mosquito Island has been basically completed."
"See clearly?"
"Actually, it's not all seen."
Qin Jin's answer made Lin Ye look at him more.
Qin Jin said: "The enemy deliberately did not arrange a patrol boat, so that we can take a closer look along the coastline of Mosijiu Island. The most suitable place for landing is heavily guarded and cannot be seen. The second place called Whale Bay has no soldiers, so there is no need to look."
Lin Ye could judge the enemy's arrangement from these words, and it seemed that Qin Jin could see through it at a glance.
"The enemy tried to lure us ashore from Whale Bay. I asked the moss dove who was accompanying us. He said that after we disembark from Whale Bay and go north, we have to pass through a canyon that is dozens of miles long."
"Two hundred miles away from this canyon is the Yalong River. This large river almost runs from east to west. The river is wide and it is difficult to cross it."
"After crossing the Yalong River and heading north, there is an endless coconut grove. It is very easy to lose your way here. These three places are all natural and excellent ambush places."
Qin Jin concluded: "If we disembark from Whale Bay, even if we bring all the Jingzhou soldiers and horses, we may not have much left to find the enemy on the north side."
"Although I have not seen the enemy's rune weapons with my own eyes, I talked carefully with the soldiers who participated in that battle after I arrived."
He walked close to the desk, picked up a pen and started drawing on the white paper
Topographic map of Mosquito Island.
"The enemy set up an ambush in the canyon. Even if they did not place rune weapons on both sides and relied on the terrain advantage to ambush our army with ordinary bows, arrows and stones, our army still suffered heavy losses and was unable to fight back. It entered the canyon and was slaughtered by others."
"If I come here to lay out the plan, I can fight hard here, but I can fight for a while and then leave. It will cause casualties to our army, but we cannot make our army feel that this battle has no chance of winning. Therefore, we can only fight for a while, and then withdraw and continue to move forward." .”
"Then, I will set up an ambush on the north bank of the Yalong River, place rune weapons in the grass on the bank, and wait for our army to ambush when they cross the river."
He drew as he spoke, writing at an extremely fast speed.
"At this point, after our army was ambushed twice, our strength has been reduced by at least one-third. Just like in the canyon, the enemy will still fight for a while and then leave."
"Then there are coconut groves. The coconut groves are densely packed. The enemy can deploy a large number of rune weapons in the forest. I have asked that there is a kind of fire and thunder that is very powerful."
"If our army is lucky enough to get out of the coconut grove, less than half of its strength, or even one-third, will be gone. It will be too late to retreat at this time."
After Qin Jin finished his analysis, he took two steps back. The picture was completely displayed in front of Lin Ye.
This was the first time that Lin Ye truly recognized Qin Jin's talent. As expected, none of the young people selected by the Supreme Saint himself and secretly trained were parallel imports.
"so what?"
Lin Ye picked up the picture and asked while looking at it.
Qin Jin said: "Back to Your Highness, I feel that if we want to fight, we should directly attack from the north where the enemy is heavily stationed."
"Is there no other way?"
Lin Ye asked again.
Qin Jin replied: "Yes, but with the size of Mojiu Island, it is difficult to complete it."
It will not be possible to fully explore the area in a short period of time. Even the moss doves accompanying them do not know where else is suitable for a large force to land. "
"Secondly, the longer the delay, the more the enemy understands Mosjiu Island, but we still don't understand it. The enemy's defenses are becoming more and more solid, and our offensive method is still single."
Lin Ye asked again: "What do you think is the most reasonable way?"
"I think the most reasonable way is...not to fight."
Instead of questioning this sentence, Lin Ye nodded.
Judging from the map drawn by Qin Jin, there is almost no solution in terms of topography.
As long as you attack, you will face a situation like an ambush from all sides, or you will have to attack hard from the north.
"but......"
Qin Jin solemnly said: "If His Highness is willing to wait a little longer and wait until His Highness's cowardly army arrives, we can attack Mosjiu Island with superior force."
"Even if the enemy has powerful rune weapons, the enemy's strength is only more than 30,000 at most. Before waiting for the arrival of the cowardly army, I will once again explore Mosjiu Island to find more suitable places to land."
"At least three places are needed. Land in three places at the same time with superior forces, and then disperse the enemy's defensive forces. Only in this way can the losses of our troops when landing be minimized."
Lin Ye nodded, not sure whether he acknowledged it or was thinking about something else.
After Qin Jin said these words, he fell silent, waiting for Lin Ye's reply.
After thinking for a long time, Lin Ye put down the picture and asked, "Have you ever thought about using a special method to log in?"
Qin Jin nodded: "I've thought about it, but it's not practical."
Lin Ye motioned for him to continue.
Qin Jin said: "I have already asked Lu Jun about gathering Lu Dali.
Lu Dali teaches that the enemy's rune weapons need a source rune to provide power. The place where the source rune is located is most likely something similar to a light measuring stone. "
"If possible, we can form a small number of elite troops, mainly practitioners with Wuyue Realm strength, sneak into Mosjiu Island, find the source rune, and destroy it!"
Lin Ye said: "At present, this is the most reasonable way to play."
Qin Jin said: "It is the most reasonable, but things like source runes must be extremely well protected. If it is not a big thing, it will be even harder to find."
"Even if all practitioners above the Martial Peak Realm are called upon to break through the defenses, among tens of thousands of enemy troops and under countless powerful rune weapons, the possibility of finding the source rune is almost zero. "
He looked at Lin Ye and said: "According to the simplest speculation, the enemy's safest place is naturally the huge flagship. The weapons configuration on the flagship must be far beyond that of ordinary warships, and there must be a great talisman master stationed there, but We think so, and the enemy thinks so too, so I suspect that the flagship is already a trap."
Lin Ye smiled and said: "I think so too, the flagship is 10% a trap."
Qin Jin said: "So I think that if we want to attack Mosjiu Island, the most reasonable way is to wait."
Lin Ye hummed and did not respond immediately, but asked Qin Jin to rest first.
Of course, waiting is the best way. The enemy only has 30,000 troops at most. If an army of hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 can be gathered to besiege Mosjiu Island, the chance of winning this battle will certainly be greater.
However, Dayu cannot afford to transport hundreds of thousands or even 200,000 troops now.
fleet.
The boat can't sail to Mosjiu Island. If it could, the people on Mosjiu Island would have found Dayu long ago.
A boat over ten feet long is barely usable, but if it encounters a big storm, the risk of the entire army being wiped out is greater than going to the island.
Without large ships, it would be impossible for superior forces to play the role of superior forces.
But the method Qin Jin mentioned was exactly the attack plan that Lin Ye was thinking about.
When he asked Qin Jin to command the main attack force, he was thinking that he would select a group of people to raid Mosjiu Island.
But he couldn't say these words in advance, because his current status was too special.
His Royal Highness, the current sole successor of Dayu.
If something unexpected happened during this war, the Taishang Shengjun's anger could completely burn Linhai County to ashes.
What is the purpose of Taishang Shengjun’s twenty years of hard work? Of course, it can be said that it is to let the people of the entire Central Plains live a truly good life.
But, isn't it for his own son?
"Invite Nie Wuzhi, Lu Junji, Sui Qingqu, and the goldfish."
"yes!"
The soldiers outside agreed and ran out quickly.
"We must fight on Mosjiu Island."
Lin Ye said: "The enemy is bound to have reinforcements. If we don't capture Mosjiu Island before the enemy's reinforcements arrive, it will be more difficult to defeat in the future. Not only will our way to the sea be blocked, the enemy will also bully us from time to time. .”
"The enemy came to our house to provoke us and slapped us in the face. Then we broke his bones. Is that how it ends?"
"No, never. If the enemy comes to provoke you once, then attack him at his home."
To make them pay the maximum price, this is what Dayu's soldiers should do. "
Lin Ye stood up and said while pacing: "So, if I announce any decision, can you temporarily forget that I am a prince..."
I've come a long way just for this sentence.
Nie Wuzhi said: "I am no longer an official in the court, so I am less stressed."
The goldfish shrugged his shoulders and said, "My stress level is normal, and I'm good at escaping."
Lu Junji said: "I..."
He is now the master of Fengyu Temple and lives in Geling, so it is probably not easy for him to run away even if he wants to.
Nie Lingshan and Zhu Xiaozhu looked at each other and did not dare to speak at all.
But after enduring it for a while, Nie Lingshan finally spoke: "How about, Your Highness, you can force us, the kind of force where if we don't agree, you'll whip us and use all the punishment."
Zhu Xiaozhu: "Your Highness can just whip him. He can be forced to do nothing. I just agreed because I felt sorry for Nie Lingshan and was afraid that he would be beaten to death by Your Highness."
Only Sui Qingqu remained silent.
Everyone knows that Sui Qingqu is the kind of person who takes Lin Ye's safety as the starting point in everything he does, and his responsibilities have nothing to do with anything else.
"It can actually be done."
Nie Wuzhi said: "But there is indeed a shortage of manpower now. Even if His Highness is in the God-endowed realm and has water-avoiding beads, it will be useless if His Highness goes up and kills everyone. It will be useless if the source rune cannot be found."
"Although I am also in the God-endowed realm, I am not sure that I will not be injured when facing the overwhelming rune weapons. The enemy must have deployed more powerful rune weapons on the defense line."
Two great monks in the Immortal Realm
, and it is impossible to really rush and kill among tens of thousands of enemy troops as if entering an uninhabited land.
The most important thing is that if the enemy knows that the warship can be destroyed here, can't the enemy take advantage of this?
Once a practitioner approaches a warship, the enemy will simply destroy several nearby ships, leaving you with no way to retreat or hide.
Sui Qingqu remained silent at this time.
"Of course it's okay to use a cloud boat to make a surprise attack, but a surprise attack isn't the problem in the first place."
"It would be great if we had enough people."
"It's best to be someone who can forcefully break through the enemy's defenses, or someone who can help you by surprise."
"Everyone is here now. I don't know when the experts from Yuxinguan and Xisheng Temple will arrive."
"It should be soon."
"As long as the masters from Yuxinguan and Xisheng Temple arrive, then this raid should be sure."
"It's hard to say. It's too far for Yu Xin Guan to come here, and there's no Yunzhou."
"Although Xisheng Temple is closer, I heard that the old abbot seems to be in retreat recently. I don't know if the old abbot will see the documents sent by the court."
When everyone said this, there was more or less regret in their tone.
At this moment, Lin Ye suddenly glanced outside the door.
At the gate, a round head stuck out. He peeked into the yard and saw Lin Ye, and then he became excited.
"Little Sidi!"
