As soon as these words came out, they were like thunder, shaking the eardrums of every senior brother. Even Ying Mingzhi, who was arrogant and arrogant just now, had nothing to say and bowed his head in silence.
Lin Zihao sighed: "It's Marshal Zhu who sees far and thinks deeply. We didn't think of this and thought that the Jin navy would not dare to compete with us. However, with the giant ships here, do they really dare to come out to fight? ?”
Zhu Chaoshi sneered: "Of course they don't dare to face a face-to-face battle, but they can fight guerrillas, just like you did in Wudi, avoiding frontal combat with the Beifu Army, but dividing the troops into multiple routes, ambushing and making surprise attacks with small groups , cut off the Beifu Army's food routes, tire out the enemy, and disturb the enemy. These can also be fought on the water. Our giant ships are powerful and unmatched in the front, but the small boats are mostly modified fishing boats, while the transport grain ships and baggage ships It’s faster than a giant ship, but it’s bigger than a small escort ship, so we can’t use a giant ship to escort its forward supply because we have to hurry up.”
"So if the enemy fleet has proper intelligence, they can completely avoid our giant ships and specifically attack our escort fleet. And along the way, they also have multiple ferries and military ports available, even Ma Tou and Wulin. At the ferry, at worst they will pull the Huanglong fleet ashore first to hide, and after our giant ship leaves, they will lower it into the water and quietly enter the river. How can we defend ourselves from this?"
Ying Mingzhi couldn't help but said: "Then as my elder brother said, divide the troops ashore and occupy these ferries. But this proposal has been rejected by you again."
Zhu Chaoshi said solemnly: "Divide the troops? To put it lightly, how many troops should be divided? Which ferry should be guarded? It's different when we get ashore. The Jin army is already good at land warfare. Haven't we suffered enough this year? ? Thousands of people going up are not enough to squeeze their teeth. If tens of thousands of people go up, we don't have the strength to guard all the ferries and fortresses. Even Huan Qian and Gou Lin's troops, each with 20,000 to 30,000 people, were in a surprise attack by the Jin army. The forceful attack failed within a day or two. Could it be that our land warfare strength is stronger than theirs, which swept almost the entire Jingzhou at that time?"
Xia Yiqi sighed: "So, Marshal Zhu, you insist on attacking Jiangling and destroying the enemy's Huanglong fleet in Jiangling, just to avoid this happening? Now I completely understand."
Zhu Chaoshi gritted his teeth: "These are military aircraft and cannot be discussed casually in the army. There are many people with mixed ears. If this information is leaked, the Jin army may have arrangements and even move in advance to let their Huanglong fleet escape. At that time, all our plans will be useless. This is the so-called general will be lost if the commander is not secretive, and if the soldiers are not secretive, the life will be lost. As a general, military orders only need to be executed by his subordinates. We cannot explain too much about the reasons. In the past, Deputy Leader Xu When he is in charge of the army, do you dare to ask him face to face why he gave these orders?"
Huang Bozi shook his head: "That's not true. Deputy Cult Leader Xu's ability and qualifications are far above us. He has been in the cult since he was a child and is a direct disciple of the former cult leader Sun Tai. We don't dare to question him. Whatever he decides, we will only carry out his orders."
Zhu Chaoshi sneered and said: "That's it. In your heart, you just look down on me as a junior junior brother and a subordinate general. You treat me like an outsider, so you have to be suspicious of every order I give and think about this first." What benefit does the order have to you, or to me, Zhu Chaoshi? Am I going to let you suffer and benefit myself? With so much separation between the top and bottom, and the generals at odds, is it possible to fight a good war?"
All the captains of the ship turned red in the face, knelt down, and saluted, "We will ask Marshal Zhu to punish us when we are convicted."
Ying Mingzhi instinctively had an angry look on his face, but when he saw all the other people kneeling down and no longer turning to look at him, and no one even interceded for him anymore, he could only kneel down with them, gritted his teeth and said: "Shuai Zhu, I'm a wise little kid, I can't trust you, and I broke this military law intentionally. If you think my crime is unpardonable, just kill me with military law. I have nothing to say."
As he spoke, he began to take off the armor on his body. Soon, the beautiful armor on his upper body fell to the ground, and was placed beside him, along with the helmet. The river wind blew his scattered beard and hair, and his face His unwillingness and fierceness are still etched on his face.
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "We have already made it clear just now that you have committed the three major crimes of underestimating the army, bullying the army, and being slow to the army. According to military law, each crime is a capital crime. Now there is an additional one: questioning the commander's order in public, forcing you to If I leak all these military planes, even if I kill you ten times, there will be no problem!"
As soon as Lin Zihao heard this, he quickly took two steps on his knees and stood in front of Ying Mingzhi: "Marshal Zhu, I beg you to save someone under your sword. Captain Ying already regrets it. He will definitely carry out your military orders in the future. Over the years, he has He went through life and death for the divine religion, made countless contributions, and had countless scars on his body. When they attacked Guangzhou, their brothers were the first to rush to the city, and the wounds on his face were also left at that time. Wu Kuangzhi, the eldest son of Wu Yinzhi, the governor of Guangzhou, and the defender of Guangzhou City, was killed by him personally. Now General Yingjiu is leading a fleet to attack Matoudu. Please consider the unity of the army and keep him. Take your life."
The other bows of the ship all saluted and begged on their knees: "Please, Marshal Zhu, spare your life. We are willing to accept the punishment together with him."
Zhu Chaoshi looked at Ying Mingzhi and said coldly: "Ying Mingzhi, do you still obey my coach's order? Will you deliberately object and refuse to execute it again?"
Ying Mingzhi said quickly: "I don't dare to do it anymore. Even if you want me to take the lead, be a small soldier, and risk death myself, I don't dare to complain at all."
Zhu Chaoshi nodded: "The brotherhood between brothers in the divine sect also opened my eyes today. This kind of true love is shown and we can handle things together. Even those in the Beifu Army who claim to be brothers cannot do it. Yes, due to the pleas of all the senior brothers, and considering the great contributions you and your brother have made for the divine religion over the years, death is temporarily spared, but the punishment will be unforgivable. From now on, you are no longer the captain of the Kuaiji ship. The Kuaiji ship Your deputy Li Chenzi will take over, and you, being wise, will be demoted to Baiding and become an ordinary sailor to participate in this battle. The Kuaiji ship will pull anchor immediately and prepare to move forward!"
Ying Mingzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. At this moment, his single clothes had already been soaked with sweat. The fishy smell of sweat had already permeated the surroundings, but his face But he smiled and saluted seriously: "Thank you, Marshal, for not killing me. I will let you see how Ying Mingzhi fights!"
