Zuo Liqiu also sneered and said: "Yes, we are all living on water, who is worse than the other? Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go back and take a nap to recuperate. I'm afraid the fighting will start in two days!" "
Although Tailless Fish acted cautiously, he underestimated the extent of the evil intentions of those officials! How do military officers get promoted and make a fortune? It depends on suppressing bandits! But an officer who is an official will never kill all the water bandits at once! They must respect themselves as a bandit, lest they be hidden by civil servants after killing all the gangsters!
And Zuo Liqiu's ability to achieve the position of general was not given to him for nothing! He had already deployed manpower and spent a long time to find out everything in his jurisdiction! Just wait to pick up a group of water bandits and kill them when necessary, and you will have the credit!
He even bribed female secretaries among the large group of water bandits to inform them and try to find out the situation. He had already figured out everything about Tail Fish's hometown! Now that Tailless Fish has gathered a large number of people in his hometown, how can he hide it from him!
So he calculated the journey time and knew when the tailless fish was going to take action! Moreover, there are not many tactics for fighting on the river, and there are only a few over and over again. So based on the information sent back by the spies, we know how many people Tailless Fish has under his command, and even his tactics can be scrutinized! Yesterday, Zuo Liqiu had made the most targeted arrangements based on his guesses, and now he was waiting for the tailless fish to take the bait!
Two days later, the long fleet finally approached the place where the tailless fish ambush! And because Zuo Liqiu pressed for time, it was already close to evening when the fleet approached Jiangwan! This time is most suitable for water bandits to commit crimes. Because there is still sunshine in the sky at this time, which is conducive to the strength of the crowd, and the water bandits are well prepared!
Moreover, the sun will set in less than an hour, which is just convenient for the water bandits to escape in the dark after plundering. In the dark night, even a good tracking expert in the army can easily make the target escape. So Zuo Liqiu rushed here at this time. Just trying to lure the tailless fish into action.
At this time, Tailless Fish was standing with a few brothers on a high place to observe the movements on the river, because he had received news that the fleet would arrive today! And when he saw the fleet finally appearing above the water, he finally let out a sigh of relief! Finally here! Whether things succeed or not depends on today!
Thinking of this, he turned around and walked down the mound. When he reached the edge of the river, he shouted loudly: "Tell the brothers to move! Those who go out first move slowly and wait for the others! When everyone is gathered, go down the river, and the people on the two wings go to their From the rear, hold back the fleet at the back! The rest of you will attack the front half of the fleet with me!"
Upon hearing Tailless Fish's order, several water bandit leaders around him also shouted loudly. The water bandits who had been waiting on the shore for a long time jumped on the boats and set sail! However, in order to fear that the other party would discover it early, most people still hid in the cabin, leaving only a few people to control the ship, pretending to be a fleet and approaching them head-on.
When they saw that the leading fleet had sailed out of the river mouth, the tailless fish also jumped onto their own boat. He and the people behind him are the main force of the offense. It can be said that the best strength of several teams is here, so he must lead it himself.
A large number of boats poured out and gathered on the river. Since there was no cargo on board, it was very light. We quickly arranged our formation and sailed downstream along the river!
Although the Yangtze River is not as vast as the sea, the water surface of the Yangtze River at this time is also extremely wide! A large fleet suddenly appeared upstream, and naturally it couldn't escape the fleet's eyes! The news was reported immediately!
Zuo Liqiu, who was recharging his energy, immediately strode to the bow of the ship after receiving the notification from his subordinates. He took out the monocular telescope given to him by Liu Haojia from his arms and looked at it from a distance. With just one glance, he concluded that there was something wrong with the fleet on the opposite side! Because the draft of their ships is too shallow!
But after looking at a few more ships, he put down the telescope and said: "Send a message to the back, the water bandits are coming! Also tell the brothers, those who stay on the deck this time must hold on, and the water bandits must be killed." We need to lure them all to the boat so that they can’t escape!”
After receiving the order, he personally ran to the stern of the ship to deliver the message to the ships behind. The ships behind passed the orders one after another. The soldiers in the cabin quickly prepared, but the entire delivery still seemed unchanged.
At this time, the tailless fish in the upper reaches have
After making preparations, he set up a formation and used the water to hit the downstream. The momentum was extremely huge! At this time, Zuo Liqiu finally began to formally issue orders to change the fleet's formation.
Because the order is given too early, it will let the other party know that he is already prepared! But now that the opponent's ship has rushed down and will no longer turn around and run away, and even a fool can see that there is something wrong with the opponent's fleet, it is just the right time to change the formation!
In fact, Zuo Liqiu did not list the real formations like in naval operations. If that were the case, he would probably scare away the timid tailless fish! So he just ordered the fleet to slow down, and then asked the ships behind to increase the speed, so that the fleet would be gathered into a rectangular formation as much as possible.
Moreover, in order not to expose the illusion of his skillful operation, he also deliberately ordered the formation to be twisted. But this formation is enough to resist the opponent's attack! Read the book
Since the tailless fish's boat was light and fast, they rushed in front of Zuo Liqiu's fleet in the blink of an eye, so their fleets slowed down and prepared for battle. If you don't slow down at this time, both parties will either miss or collide!
Zuo Liqiu did not show up at this time. He hid in the cabin and watched his servant pretending to be the leader of the boat and shouting to the other side: "Whose friend is on the other side? I know the boss of the tailless fish on this river. I hope you can Give me some face!"
While the servants shouted to the front, the sailors on the deck also pretended to be flustered and began to arrange defense work. But seeing them running around in a panic made the water bandits laugh! Especially when the tailless fish heard that the other party actually negotiated with him in his own name, he felt very ridiculous! But this also made him let down the last bit of vigilance in his heart!
The servant shouted four or five times from the bow of the boat. When there was no response from the other side, he turned around and jumped on his feet and shouted: "Brothers, the water bandits on the other side are determined to get us, let's fight them!"
At this time, the boats on both sides were very close to each other, and the water bandits laughed so hard when they saw what he did! One of the little bosses even shouted loudly: "I'll jump in and help him. Don't kill him. Let's make fun of him for everyone's amusement!"
