After a decision is made, no different voices are allowed to appear, and everyone must immediately start implementing it.
Su Yonglin immediately mobilized the entire army and began to look for soldiers who were familiar with water and experienced in operating ships, so that they could all assemble.
After a search, as night fell, more than 500 people were finally selected.
Su Yonglin personally selected 200 elite people, and then selected 20 veterans of the Su family who were former private salt dealers and had experience in water warfare to lead the team to form 20 elite assault teams.
Wei Kexian volunteered to be the leader of the assault team, and Su Yonglin nodded in approval.
They need to take advantage of the darkness of night to flank the Jin army's camp and select larger ships from among the ships lined up at the end of the waterway, seize control of the ships, and then concentrate on the end of the river to cut off the retreat route of the Jin army's ships.
Once the war begins and the Jin army's ships try to retreat from the waterway, they need to step forward to block it, block the waterway, and persist until the main force of the army completely annihilates the main force of the Jin army.
Su Yonglin went to battle in person. He would lead the main force of the army to a position where they could launch an attack and launch an attack on the Jin army's camp.
Then there are the details of launching an attack.
"It's the end of Youshi now. It's half a day's journey from here to the Golden Thief's camp, but I ask the entire army to arrive at the destination before Yinshi tomorrow. When the Golden Thief watchman sounds the gongs and drums of the fifth watch, it will be the last step for the entire army to launch an attack. the term."
Su Yonglin issued a military order.
All in all, no matter what, the main force of the army and the ship-seizing team must be in place before Yin Shi, and the ship-seizing team must ensure that the ship-seizing task is completed before the fifth gong and drum of Yin Shi is sounded.
So Su Yonglin specifically asked Wei Kexian to seize the ship quickly, and when the gongs and drums sounded at the fifth watch, he fired rockets into the sky to tell the army that he had completed the task.
"Kexian, when the golden thief watchman rings the fifth watch gong, that's when you launch rockets into the sky, and that's when the whole army attacks."
Wei Ke nodded first, and then asked hesitantly: "What if my subordinates don't capture twenty ships and can't launch twenty rockets?"
Su Yonglin patted his shoulder and told him not to pay attention.
"How can everything go as planned when marching and fighting? We can't wait until everything is ready before going to fight. I have arranged twenty groups of commandos. I don't really want you all to succeed and capture twenty ships, even if you can only capture three or five. The boat is also good.
If someone wants to escape in a boat, you can go up and stop it, or even ram it. Don't worry about the boat being hit and sunk. It is better if it is sunk. It blocks the river directly and no one can escape. You are good at water and can jump into the river in time to escape. The ship sank and the waterway was blocked. "
Wei Ke thought for a moment and nodded firmly.
"I obey my orders!"
"Um."
After explaining Wei Kexian, Su Yonglin looked at the other officers around him.
"I said, we have no retreat, so no matter what happens, we must do our best to deal with it. I am ready to fight in a bloody battlefield to win. Gentlemen, you are ready to fight in a bloody battlefield to win. ?"
"it is done!"
the officers shouted back.
Normally, Su Yonglin is basically deep and reserved, speaking and doing things in a soft voice, like a well-educated scholar.
But whenever he needs to stand on the front stage to give a speech or when it comes to battle, he is always enthusiastic and full of emotions, as if he is confident to the point of inexhaustible, and can lend his extra confidence to anyone who lacks confidence.
At this time, Su Yonglin's emotions can affect everyone around him, giving them some sustenance in their anxious hearts.
Wei Kexian felt that he was not so nervous anymore, so he quickly led the elite assault team to set off on horseback and arrived at the destination as quickly as possible.
They still need to make some preparations, so they need to set off faster than the main force.
And the large army cannot be late, there is still some distance to go. If they cannot set off as soon as possible, they may not be able to arrive on the battlefield within the scheduled time and launch a decisive battle against the Jin soldiers.
This time I also took the initiative and took the initiative in the war!
Su Yonglin felt that if he could win this battle, in addition to the army's courage to fight, the training foundation, and the Jin Army's strange operations, the most important factors were one more important factor.
Take the initiative on your own.
Facing the main attack of the Jin Army, he did not choose to defend but instead took the initiative to attack. This may be something that the Jin Army general has not considered. The opponent probably never thought that he could reverse the situation by actively attacking and even dared to further attack him. The main force launched an attack.
Of course, this is not their fault. It is a well-known truth that only with cavalry can you have strategic initiative. Without cavalry, you will be frozen and beaten. This is true.
The Liberation Army had just rebelled, and it was very normal that they did not have enough cavalry. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the contempt of the Jin Army.
But who says you can't take the initiative to launch an attack without enough cavalry?
Anyway, Jiagu Asu definitely doesn't know who said it. Maybe no one said it at all, it was just him who thought so.
He himself felt that the Liberation Army without cavalry would be frightened when facing the Jin army. They only dared to defend the city and did not dare to fight in the field, let alone take the initiative to attack. That was simply a fantasy.
Although he didn't know why, he just had this mysterious confidence that he didn't know where it came from.
He never thought that he would fall into a strategically passive position, nor did he think that he was about to face an attack by the rebels.
He spent all the time after the vanguard troops were dispatched urging his men to clear the river as soon as possible.
After some research, Jiagu Asu agreed to the plan proposed by professionals to use boats to drag the sunken ships to both sides of the river bottom, thereby clearing the middle channel for ships to navigate.
It is impossible to completely clear the waterway in a short period of time. In the three days that Jiagu Asu accepts at most, this goal cannot be achieved in any case.
So after brainstorming, a professional came up with a method to use other large ships to drag the sunken ships in the middle part of the river bottom to both sides, clear the middle channel, and allow grain ships to pass through the middle first.
Although the speed is slow, you can still complete the journey in one or two days. You don't have to spend seven, eight, and nine days here, which can save a lot of time.
Jiagu Asu was overjoyed and rewarded the Han army officer named Liu Xi with some money, and then asked him to be the person in charge of the entire operation project and direct the ships to clean up.
Jiagu Azou sat on a high platform on the shore and watched the operation with his own eyes.
Liu Xi was overjoyed and excitedly told Jiagu Asu that he would do his best to complete the project. Then he selected three large ships to prepare for towing, and sent people with good water skills to dive into the water to hook the iron ropes supported by the iron chains. A shipwreck at the bottom of the river.
Then it’s time to work hard.
More than a hundred civilians on the three large boats shook the oars with all their might and slid them in the opposite direction, hoping to drag the sunken ship away from the bottom of the river.
This is really very difficult. The boats are already heavy, and they are even heavier when they sink to the bottom of the river. Relying on only three boats is a bit inadequate. The civilians tried their best but it didn't work. The sunken boat on the bottom of the river moved a little.
Soon, they exhausted all their strength and could no longer move the oar.
"Work hard! Let you work hard! Work hard! Don't be lazy!"
Liu Xi was very anxious when he saw that the effect was not good, for fear of being blamed by Jiagu Asu, so he felt that the peasants were not working hard, being lazy and not exerting their efforts, so he waved his whip in anger.
He whipped it, and three scrawny peasants in ragged clothes immediately fell to the ground and screamed in agony, covering different parts of their bodies.
One whip was not enough, so he swung another one. Unfortunately, two more civilians were hit and fell to the ground screaming in agony.
Liu Xi became even more angry and swung his whip to severely beat the five civilian husbands who were knocked to the ground.
"Let you be lazy! Let you not work hard! Be lazy! Be lazy! Do you still dare to be lazy? Do you dare to skate?!"
He roared again and again, swinging the whip and beating the five people with bruises all over their bodies, leaving bloody cuts on their bodies.
The remaining civilians looked at the roaring Liu Xi with fear, and looked at the five unlucky guys with sympathy and joy. They just hoped that Liu Xi would just slap them, and never take his anger out on others, especially Be yourself.
When he was done venting, Liu Xi took a breath, looked at the other peasants fiercely, and pointed at the five peasants who had been beaten in great pain.
"If you dare to cheat again, this will be your fate!"
The rest of the peasants quickly lowered their heads.
Liu Xi spat at the five people paralyzed on the ground, cursed and left the cabin, took the boat back to the shore, and reported to Jiagu Asu with a flattering look on his face.
