After hearing this, Masaki Sasaki nodded, "This person is really difficult to deal with, so I put all three thousand ninjas on the other side, and the coalition forces of our three major families are expected to arrive at Chimon Pass tomorrow. We have raised an army of 120,000 people, and even if we replace them with people, we cannot let them cross the sea!"
Kiraharu picked up the tea cup and slowly took a sip of hot tea. "I want to see what else Zhao Xuanyi can do this time!"
Sasaki Masaki stood up slowly after speaking, "Two generals, since there is nothing going on here, I will set off first!"
"Where are you going?" Yamana Taro asked.
"In the natural area of Chimon Pass, I don't trust such a big battle to be left to the ninja who sent the message. I'd rather go there myself!"
After hearing this, Yamana Taro nodded, "Well, I'll go with you!" Naturally, Yamana Taro also had his own selfish motives. He currently only has an army of less than 35,000 people, and he only recruited less than 20,000 people through temporary recruitment. Apart from the 10,000 people left to guard Kyoto, the remaining 45,000 people were sent out!
After all, if this war is really lost, the one who will lose the most must be himself. The area where he is fighting now is his family's property, and the most important thing is that if Masaru Sasaki personally goes to the front to command, if he can make his own The army is at the forefront, and the first ones to be consumed must be his own soldiers. He can't let this happen!
Kira Haru saw the two of them expressing their opinions, but he was not so anxious. He sat there quietly drinking tea and seemed not to care about it! When Taro Yamana saw Kira Harumasa's attitude, he felt very contemptuous. He was just a coward who was afraid of death. He turned around and left without saying a word!
Sasaki Masake bowed deeply to Kira Harumasa, and then left. In his opinion, Kira Harumasa was the same with or without him. He was originally a merchant. If it weren't for the fact that he had enough navy in his hands, he would not have done it. Will you care about him?
As for the Ming Dynasty army, everyone gathered in the Chinese army tent and looked at the map in front of them. Everyone lowered their heads and pondered. There was no good way. After all, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait were too far apart. It was not easy to think about it. !
Zhu Wenyu looked at the crowd and found that everyone was very distressed. The word "difficulty" was written on his face. Zhu Wenyu coughed lightly, "I say everyone, now we have encountered a real problem. Don't hide it." Now, let’s talk about any big plans! Now is no longer the time to hide, even if there are any damaging moves, traps, etc., tell them all?”
Li Hanyan shook her head, "After all, we are all army soldiers. We train on land all year round. There are only a handful of people in the army who can swim. It's not that easy!"
Shen Wei also nodded, "Yes! When it comes to the water army, of course Huhao Military Camp and they are the most professional, but now... water from a distance cannot dissolve fire from a distance!"
Tang Yue took a step forward, "Prince Qi, there are some people in our Far East Army who are good at water, but if they just enter the sea like this, with such rapids, I'm afraid they will be washed away before they reach the other side!"
"And be quick!" Shen Wei said suddenly.
"What do you mean?" Liu Bo asked.
"It can already be felt in the past few days that the weather is not that cold. If we don't cross over before all the ice cracks, I'm afraid we will be trapped here by then! By that time, we will have no reinforcements and no logistics supplies , you can only starve to death on this island!" Shen Wei said.
"This...?" Liu Bo also had a headache after hearing this. This issue must be considered!
After hearing this, Zhu Wenyu nodded, and then looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Brother, stop pretending to be a good boy and keep silent for so long? Hurry up, tell me what your plan is?"
Zhao Xuanyi coughed lightly, "Actually, it's not too difficult to cross the sea! I have a way! But... the problem is that there are too many of us. If I follow my method and want to send all hundreds of thousands of people across, I'm afraid It will take a few days!"
"And that's not counting the enemy sniping at us. If there's an accident halfway, I'm afraid a lot of people will be lost!"
Zhu Wenyu laughed after hearing this, "I knew you must have a way. Don't worry about anything else. Just tell us your plan first and let everyone listen. Let's talk about any shortcomings!"
"
Li Hanyan also nodded, "Yes, husband, you are always the most resourceful. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, then came to the map, looked at the map again, and then said, "I think everyone knows about the battles in our history where we used less to fight more, right?"
Everyone nodded, "Husband, which scene do you want to say?"
"Burn Red Cliff! Why did Cao Cao lose back then?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Just because he tied all the ships together, and then was hit by Sun Ce with a tung oil ship, and then set on fire...?" Li Hanyan stopped mid-sentence, and then showed a surprised look, "Husband, do you want to use iron to lock the warships?" Make a bridge to cross the sea?"
"My wife is still smart. If we find the most boats, tie them all together, and then reinforce them with wooden boards, we can build a simple bridge. Although there is no guarantee that horses can cross, people want to survive absolutely No problem!"
"But, we are not Cao Cao, and there is another biggest drawback of this bridge that cannot be ignored!"
"If I were an enemy, I would definitely shoot the bridge with rockets. Once the wooden boat is set on fire, all the previous efforts will be wasted!" Zhu Wenyu said.
"Your Highness is smart, I haven't figured out what to do about this yet. After all, if you cross the sea this way, you will be a living target. No matter it is day or night, you will be targeted by the enemy!"
When everyone heard Zhao Xuanyi's proposal, everyone was very excited. Finally, they had a way to cross the sea. But when they heard about the shortcomings of this bridge, everyone had no choice but to do it!
"This is indeed a problem, and...where can we get so many ships?" Tang Yue asked.
"General Tang, have you forgotten where the fish you eat every meal comes from? There are hundreds of boats at Fukuoka Pier, why don't we let us choose?" Shen Wei said.
Tang Yue clapped his hands, "Yes! How could I forget such an important thing?"
Shen Wei looked at Zhao Xuanyi, "Young Master, do you have anything else to say now?"
"Not for the time being! Let the people from the Fifth Army Commander's Office set out immediately and bring me all the ships in Fukuoka. I don't care what methods they use to bring them back to me as soon as possible. If you can't go to battle to kill the enemy, don't you know how to do chores? "Zhao Xuanyi shouted loudly.
"Yes! I'll give the order right away!"
"Wait a minute, let Sun Yan wear a thousand unicorn guards and supervise these losers for me!"
"Understood!" Shen Wei said and left!
Zhao Xuanyi thought for a long time, then looked at Tang Yue, "General Tang, those who can do the hard work, take your troops to cut down the trees immediately!"
"Sure, how much wood do you need?"
"Of course, the more, the better! The hull and top of the ship need to be reinforced, as many as possible! We have plenty of time!"
"Yes!" Tang Yue also left!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Liu Bo, "Don't be idle. Take people to pay close attention to the situation on the other side these days. If there is any trouble, you must report it!"
"Yes!" Liu Bo nodded.
After Zhu Wenyu saw Zhao Xuanyi issuing the order, he walked up to Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Look, isn't this solved?"
Zhao Xuanyi shook his head, "This time it's not that simple. We still have to think of a way to prevent the ship from being set on fire?"
"Wet the ship with water!" Lan Chuyin said.
Li Hanyan rolled her eyes, "There's tung oil on the rocket, so it's useless when it encounters water!"
"Then use a shield!"
"A shield can protect people, but it can't protect ships! And as long as the burning tung oil falls on the sea, it can still stick to the hull and continue to burn! Can you shut up if you don't understand?" Li Hanyan hates Lan Chuyin very much!
Lan Chuyin stared at Li Hanyan with anger on his face, thinking I am just helping, if I say something you just say something to me, what do you mean!
Zhu Wenyu and Zhao Xuanyi looked at each other. The look in their eyes showed that women's war is far more terrifying than they thought. So after a few seconds of eye contact, the two of them immediately pulled them over!
Zhu Wenyu pulled Lan Chuyin aside and said, "Can't you just be quiet for a while? You don't know how to march."
fight! "
"I don't know how to march and fight, but I know how to be polite!" Lan Chuyin said very unhappy.
"you……?"
Zhao Xuanyi pulled Li Hanyan to the other side, "She's just a stick who doesn't understand anything. Why are you trying to get along with her? Let's go back first. Seventh brother, let's go back and rest first!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Okay!" Zhu Wenyu agreed hastily. If these two women were allowed to continue talking, they would probably fight!
After Li Hanyan walked out of the Chinese army's tent, she hummed, "It's just a vase, it's of no use at all!"
"Yes, yes, I think so too! My wife, don't think about her. Let's think about how to solve the enemy's bridge-breaking method!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"This... I didn't expect that, I've never had a water fight!"
"Neither have I! So I'm still a novice in this area, we need to think about it carefully!" Zhao Xuanyi sighed after finishing speaking!
Zhao Xuanyi has not thought about how to solve the problem of burning ships in the war, but other aspects have begun to prepare. People from the Fifth Army Governor's Office returned to Fukuoka, pulled all the ships on the dock ashore, and then used horses and manpower to attack Akamon Pass. transport!
Tang Yue, on the other hand, led his men to cut down all the surrounding woods, and then transported all the wood back to the outside of the village, and the wood finally ended up in the hands of Su Xiaoding and Nangong Che!
The two men had something in their hands and immediately began to order their men to peel the wood and break it into wooden boards. After careful discussion, they finally decided that each wooden board was one palm wide in thickness and was too thin to bear the weight of a person!
But Zhao Xuanyi has been thinking hard these days. Although he can build a temporary bridge, if there are no enemy troops, it is okay. Once the enemy counterattacks, no, they will definitely counterattack. Even if they are a fool, they will not let go of this opportunity. So you must come up with a solution yourself!
But there is nothing right now? In addition to steel, there are many high-temperature-resistant materials, but I have no place to find these materials in ancient times!
Li Hanyan came back from outside and saw Zhao Xuanyi sitting on the bed still thinking about a solution. She slowly came to sit next to Zhao Xuanyi and said, "Husband, you have locked yourself in the room for many days. Why don't you go out and get some fresh air? You can't keep thinking. , otherwise your head will hurt a lot!"
Zhao Xuanyi hugged Li Hanyan and buried his face in her chest, "Just let me rest!"
Li Hanyan's face turned red. Although the relationship between the two had become very close, Zhao Xuanyi's taking advantage of him still made Li Hanyan uncomfortable. "You're a scumbag!" Li Hanyan whispered and hugged Zhao Xuanyi gently!
"Daughter-in-law, how do your border guards defend themselves against enemy rockets?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"There is no special method. You can only use a shield. As long as the shield is big enough, it can withstand the enemy's bow and arrow. And even if it is a rocket, it can only be a hundred steps at most. If it is too far, it will be out of reach. Even if it hits the shield, We can also reach the opponent before the shield burns out, then throw away the cards and kill their archers!"
Zhao Xuanyi suddenly raised his head, "Yes! You're right, as long as the shield is big enough, rockets can't do anything! That's it!"
Li Hanyan saw how excited Zhao Xuanyi was and couldn't help but wonder, "You don't want to use a shield, do you?"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled, "Yes, it is a shield, but it is not an ordinary shield. It must be big enough and thick enough! Even if the enemy's rocket hits it, it will not burn the ship!"
"I don't think I've seen that kind of shield before!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't, we can do it!" Zhao Xuanyi said and kissed Li Hanyan on the lips, "You are so smart!"
Li Hanyan looked at Zhao Xuanyi with a question mark on her face, thinking, I don't even understand what you said, how smart are you?
