After talking about Harry, Qi Yu continued to talk about strategies to fight the enemy.
As long as Leng Qing and Huang Fei can both succeed, Qiong Jun can take a certain initiative. The enemy may also pursue a quick war due to lack of food and grass.
In any case, it is better to take the initiative than to be passive.
The question that needs to be considered now is, if the enemy insists on a naval battle, how should we deal with it?
Should they go ahead and have a fight on the sea? Or should we stick to the shore and wait for opportunities?
According to conventional logic, when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy is tired, we attack. In the game of chess, we should try our best to avoid its sharp edges. In terms of tactics, we should try our best to maximize our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.
Only in this way can you show your freedom.
However, given the current situation, it is very difficult to achieve this step.
The enemy's army is backed by the Tianzhu continent and is not a rootless tree floating without support; moreover, they have a large number of people and excellent equipment. They have obvious advantages in whether they are fighting naval battles or land battles.
In the face of absolute strength, combat skills become greatly compromised. Unless, we can get help from the right time.
However, it is a pity that we have not seen any benefits in this area until now, and it is unknown whether it will appear in the future.
"Do you think it is better to defend the enemy through naval warfare? Or is it more advantageous to fight on land?"
"this……"
"If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter. At the moment, it's just a simple discussion."
Xiaotong glanced at Hong Tao and said first: "Father, I think it is better to fight on land. This method of operation is more conducive to us taking advantage of the terrain. As long as the strategy can keep up, the chance of winning will increase."
Qi Yu nodded when he heard this and agreed: "Well, it does make sense!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hong Tao was heard to say: "My father-in-law and son-in-law think that naval warfare is the safest option."
"Oh? Tell me!"
"yes!"
Next, Hong Tao expressed his views.
He believed that abandoning naval warfare and pursuing land warfare to defend the enemy was a plan that would break one's own wings.
Judging from the comparison of the enemy's and our own military strength, the enemy is at an advantage and our army is at a disadvantage. Based on this prerequisite, general policies such as defensive counterattack and waiting for opportunities should be formulated.
As for defense, there are only two major parts: sea and land base. If we abandon the sea battle and allow the enemy to land directly, it will be equivalent to actively removing the sea defense layer.
In this case, if the land battle is miscalculated, we will face the crisis of losing territory.
Therefore, he believed that the battle should be fought on the sea first. If they were defeated, it would not be too late to consider a land battle.
It would be too desperate to allow the enemy troops to land directly on the shore.
This desperate sentence directly hit Qi Dalang's heart.
You must know that he has always advocated not fighting uncertain battles, and will never take dangerous risks unless absolutely necessary. Considering this principle, it is indeed inappropriate to abandon naval warfare.
He nodded and praised happily: "It seems that you have indeed learned a lot of real skills from Brother Qi Jing over the years. Such an overall view cannot be grasped without the talent of a general."
Hong Tao was flattered when he heard this, and he quickly said humbly: "Father-in-law is so flattering! If I don't strive to make progress, wouldn't it be the same as bringing a black eye to your face?"
Ah!
Even speaking is more artistic than before.
This child has indeed grown up a lot. Based on this knowledge, he is already well versed in the samadhi of human relations and sophistication.
】
Seeing her father's face glowing with joy, Xiaotong quickly followed up with a few compliments. However, he was not angry at all about the fact that he had just refuted his point of view.
Having said that, the battle strategy has been decided: start with a naval battle first, and if they lose, then consider the land battle.
As for how to fight this naval battle, the three of them couldn't come up with a clever strategy.
Discussions come and go, but in the end we still reach the same conclusion as before. Apart from confronting the enemy head-on, I really can't think of a better way.
It seems that the only way to deal with the enemy is through flexible command and skilled tactics.
No matter what, we must strengthen military training and prepare for rainy days.
…
Following Qi Yu's order, amphibious training began in full swing.
At the same time, he was also anxiously waiting for news about Leng Qing and Huang Fei.
Very anxious indeed.
The deceased is like a man who never gives up day and night.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
And Leng Qing and Huang Fei did not live up to expectations, and both came one after another.
It is not difficult to see from their smiling expressions that they must have succeeded both ways.
Of course, the difficulties and dangers involved are unimaginable. If they hadn't all possessed unique skills, not only would they not have been able to accomplish the task, but they might have never returned.
Generally speaking, it went relatively smoothly.
The only fly in the ointment is that the knights under Leng Qing's command were 70% to 80% less heroic, so the losses were not insignificant.
Huang Fei's side was not much better, and more than half of the people were lost.
But that's nothing compared to what you get in return.
Fighting is like playing chess. What does it matter if you take someone else's cart and use a pawn?
There are gains and losses, just figure it out.
Qi Yu finished paying homage to the souls of the dead, and then turned his mind back to the military.
At present, the enemy's food has been destroyed, and corresponding military adjustments will definitely be made in the future. As for whether they will become eager to fight, it remains to be seen further.
Sure enough, the gauntlet of the Nine-Nation Allied Forces was quickly issued.
The letter said: Qiongzhou Shuzi dares to destroy my granary. Then, does he dare to fight to the death with our army? You can choose between sea battles and land battles. If you are afraid of death, just pack up and go back to your hometown!
It is not difficult to tell from this tone that the enemy has now become angry and frustrated. It is no wonder that they are eager to fight.
Of course, procrastinating will not do them any good. Cutting the mess quickly is the wisest choice.
The key is just one word: fast!
After reading the letter of challenge, Qi Yu almost didn't think at all and responded domineeringly on the spot: Let's fight, who is afraid of whom?
In just six words, his attitude was directly expressed.
Naturally, the messenger didn't know that this was what he did following the trend, not a whim.
Now that we have the attitude, how should we decide on the time and place?
Overseas envoys suggested that since both sides are good at navy, it would be better to compete in naval warfare. In this way, each can be regarded as showing off his or her special abilities.
Eh~~
This is a good suggestion, so make the most of it and get the best value for money.
I like!
When will the decisive battle take place?
As for the time, the messenger thought that the sooner the better, why not just set it for five days?
Qi Yu smiled and praised: "The host follows the guests, and it is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
In this way, the two sides finalized all matters related to the war.
We'll see you in front of the battle in five days.
