Xia Yiqi said thoughtfully: "What Marshal Zhu said makes sense. The giant ship is slow and cannot catch up with the Huanglong warship. If we can't intercept them here and let them escape, there will be endless troubles. Even if Let them flee to the direction of Changsha and sail into Ma Tou and Wulin Ferry, which may also cut off the water supply of our army in front."
Ying Mingzhi said disdainfully: "Humph, it's just far-fetched. The navy of our divine sect is invincible in the world, and the river from Jiangling to Yuzhang has been controlled by us for a long time. The water transportation has been smooth for more than half a year. There is no obstacle. If the Jin navy had this ability, it would have cut off our water transportation long ago. Now that our fleet is here, they are going to attack instead? Or attack the section of the river where we have already controlled the water village fortress? This is not Are you looking for death? Zhu Chaoshi, don't give the enemy any excuse for your own tactics. Even if the Jin army's warships want to escape, they can't escape to the east, but at most to the west toward Wuling!"
Xia Yiqi frowned: "Junior Brother Ying, be careful what you say. No matter what you say, Marshal Zhu is also our coach. We can't help you speak for you like this."
Ying Mingzhi laughed angrily: "Senior Brother Xia, up to now, can't you see the idea of his surname being Zhu? He just sees us senior brothers with high military exploits taking advantage of him, a captive who was demoted to a general and a junior fellow. I am dissatisfied with the position of commander, so I want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. This time I am the chicken. Next time it will probably be your turn, Senior Brother Xia. Slowly he will replace the positions of these generals with obedient ones, and even surrender with him. The Jin army that came over can turn the army of the divine sect into his own, surnamed Zhu."
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yiqi and the others all changed their faces slightly and kept silent. Obviously, Ying Mingzhi's words touched the pain in their hearts. If it weren't for the Heavenly Master's order this time, who would be willing to listen to a young boy? As for the command, what's even more frightening is that even if this young boy really makes a meritorious service, it may not be a good thing for these old thieves of Tianshi Dao. It may even be the beginning of losing military power and being replaced by others. And this is the real reason why the teachers and brothers are not listening to orders these days.
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "Ying Mingzhi, you really said what was in your heart, and you went around in a big circle. Aren't you afraid that I, a later general, would take away your general positions and military power and grant them to others?"
Ying Mingzhi said solemnly: "Isn't it? After your meritorious service, what benefit will it bring to us? My brother's approach of capturing Ma Tou Ferry is obviously the safest strategy. It uproots the Jin army's strongholds along the river and ensures the navigation route. Unobstructed, even if you don't attack Jiangling, you can still be invincible and fulfill the leader's instructions. Only you, if you want to make a great contribution, think of attacking Jiangling and destroying the Jin army's fleet. In fact, the Jin army The navy doesn't dare to go to war at all, this is just an excuse for you to be greedy for credit and make yourself stand out!"
Zhu Chaoshi said calmly: "Don't I know that attacking ferries like Ma Tou and Wulin will be much easier than attacking Jiangling, which is a fortified water stronghold and defended by naval warships? Don't I know which one is better? Hard bones, which one is the fat one? I am the coach, and I will be the first beneficiary of any military exploits. Regardless of whether it was brought up by your elder brother or not, I will be the one who benefits the most. If you really want to be greedy for anything, Gong, it was your brothers from the Ying family who put you in power, not me!"
Ying Mingzhi's face turned slightly red and he gritted his teeth: "Then can you explain why we left the two ferries alone and insisted on attacking Jiangling?"
Zhu Chaoshi said coldly: "I don't have to attack Jiangling, but I have to destroy the Jin army's naval warships. As long as the more than 200 Huanglong warships of the Jin army are still there, they will attack our waterways at any time." The ability can even carry tens of thousands of elite troops to Wuling, and attack Changsha and Baling, our army's important land towns, from land. By then, we will be able to sail this huge fleet and these giant ships. Go to land and fight the Jin army?"
Ying Mingzhi said in a hateful voice: "This is your own idea. If the Jin army has this strength, why didn't they attack in the first half of the year and only left when our army and giant ships arrived?"
Zhu Chaoshi raised his eyebrows: "Because half a year ago, the Jin army in Jingzhou only had thirty or forty Huanglong warships. They had to support the defenders of Baidi City and Wuling and were unable to harass our army's water channels. But in the past six months, During the war, they built more than 200 Huanglong warships and had a powerful fleet. They just wanted to support Wuling and attack Changsha County from land. This was the information given to us by Master Lu at the time. I did not make it up. Yes, Senior Brother Lin, do you think so?"
Lin Zihao nodded: "Yes, during the last military meeting, it was said by Master Lu himself, and the order he gave us was also to protect the transportation line in front, at least not to let the Jin army sneak attack, Jiangling can't take it Down, it’s a secondary target.”
Zhu Chaoshi sneered: "Young Mingzhi, did you hear that? Our first task is to ensure the transportation channel, and in turn, the enemy's first task is to attack our supply lines with all their strength. They can let part of the Huanglong fleet break out eastward, relying on Ma Tou, Wulin Ferry, and even Jiangxia County further away can be used as bases there to attack our transport fleet at any time. They can also carry a large number of soldiers to Wuling County in the south of the Yangtze River to join Tan Zhi's troops there. Attack the counties of Xiangzhou on land or even counterattack Jiangzhou. Only by destroying this Huanglong fleet can our supply line be truly safe, and this is why I formulated the tactics."
Ying Mingzhi's head began to sweat again, but this time, he didn't bother to wipe it: "You, even if you want to destroy the enemy's fleet, why risk our giant ship? As long as we guard the enemy here, Isn’t it enough to monitor the water village day and night so that they can’t come out?”
Zhu Chaoshi sighed: "You only have eyes for your broken ship, your bow position or even your further promotion, completely regardless of the overall situation! Our entire fleet, thousands of warships, six giant ships, just for Watching his more than 200 Huanglong warships, guarding outside Jiangling City day and night? Nearly 100,000 naval officers and soldiers, instead of supporting the decisive battle ahead, are just wasting time here? Don't you want to think about Leader Lu and Xu ahead? Deputy leader, facing the pressure from Liu Yi and the Yuzhou Legion, and even the return of Liu Yu's army? I finally understand why the Church of God has been defeated by Liu Yu many times in the past. It's because of brothers and sisters like you. Everyone just thinks about it. If you don’t plan for great things, you should be defeated like this!”
