Chapter 331 Continuous Battles and Successful Victories(2/2)
Shi Wansui coughed a few times. Wang Lin realized that she had lost her composure and hurriedly lowered her head.
"It's because my lord is like a god with his troops."
"With three big wins in a row, I think the situation will change dramatically."
Liu Taozi turned around, motioned for everyone to follow him, and began to slowly leave here at a slower speed. The direction they were heading was east.
Liu Taozi rode on the black wind and said seriously: "Xu, Huang, and Wu generals are all powerful enemies. Although they burned Wu Mingche's food and grass, killed their generals, and annihilated more than ten thousand people, they did not
It hurts them fundamentally.”
"Wu Mingche was too close to Jiankang, and the southerners had no shortage of food and grass. He reduced his army and stationed himself in Jiangpu. If the food and grass had not arrived, he would not go out easily and would not give us any chance to attack."
"When Huang Fazhu learns that his general has been killed, he will definitely act steadily, pay attention to our actions at all times, and will not give us a chance easily."
Wang Lin thought thoughtfully, "It seems that the only way to defeat the enemy is to go west to join Lou Rui, defeat the weaker Xu Du first, and then go south to face the second general?"
The reason why Wang Lin was unsure was because they were heading east now.
Obviously, Liu Taozi's ideas were somewhat different from his.
But in Wang Lin's view, facing such a powerful enemy, there is only one solution at the moment, which is to have more cavalry.
The armies in various places in the south are useless. Even if they can raise one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, they will only die for the Chen people.
Just like Zhang Sun Honglue just now, he led 50,000 troops and came to fight the enemy. In the end, only more than 10,000 people were killed and fled in all directions.
These county soldiers cannot be regarded as human beings at all. The only ones with fighting ability in the south are the thousands of elites under Lou Rui's command.
These are the troops that Lou Rui brought out from Yecheng, and they are very capable of fighting.
If we can join them, the number of troops can reach tens of thousands, and there is no need to worry too much about combat effectiveness. If we fight several generals separately, Wang Lin feels that there is still hope of victory.
Liu Taozi said calmly: "If we had come to join him at the beginning, we might have been able to do it, but now that we have been exposed, it is impossible for the enemy not to be on guard. They will never allow us to join Lou Rui."
"The roads along the way will be blocked by Huang Fazhu and Xu Du. If we want to bypass Hefei, the enemy will have time to unite. By then, we will have more than 10,000 people. Facing an army of more than 100,000, how can we
war?"
Wang Lin was stunned and began to think deeply.
What Liu Taozi said was very reasonable, and he couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while.
"General, this is what we are doing"
Liu Taozi looked into the distance, "The strength of cavalry lies first in its speed."
He looked at the sky and asked, "How many days has it been raining?"
Wang Lin trembled, "It's been four or five days."
"Wu Mingche's army was stationed at Jiangpukou, which was known as Guabu in the past."
"When General Wang came out, this was the path he took, right?"
"General, you mean Chushui?"
"Chu River goes all the way east, passes through Qin County, goes south and enters the river."
"The terrain of Guabu is very low, with one side backed by mountains, one side by the river, and one side by the Chushui River."
Hearing this, Wang Lin instantly understood what Liu Taozi meant. He suddenly became excited and rubbed his hands, "Yes! Yes! It is the rainy season again. If we can flood the city with Chushui, Wu Mingche
Even if there are tens of thousands of troops, what can we do?!"
"The general is wise!!"
"When did the General think of this?!"
"When I first heard you tell me how to get here, I thought that this place could be flooded."
Wang Lin took a deep breath, clenched her fists several times, and looked at Liu Taozi with increasingly complicated eyes.
Does this turn out to be a famous general?
Liu Taozi looked at Wang Lin, "Your Majesty, I have never fought in the south, and I don't understand the matter of diversion. Wu Mingche has been in the south for a long time. I'm afraid he will be alert. I wonder if you can help me complete this matter.
?”
Wang Lin laughed heartily, "My Lord trusts me so much, how can I not obey him?"
He immediately said: "It is impossible to destroy the dike. Wu Mingche will definitely send people to guard it, blocking the downstream and making the water flow back. The downstream is too close to Wu Mingche."
"So we can only use the third method, build a dam upstream, build it bit by bit, accumulate water sources upstream, and then destroy it violently, so that the Chu water can flood the enemy's camp!!"
"It all depends on the prince."
Wang Lin accepted the order and immediately took the lead as a guide. He had driven on the Chu River countless times. No one knew better than him where the most suitable place to build a dam was.
They continued to march for another ten miles and reached a place where the water flowed the fastest. Wang Lin asked everyone to stop. Then, he asked the soldiers to cut down trees around them, take soil to make mud, and carry out simple embankment work.
This thing sounds simple to say, but is actually extremely complicated to do.
There are many things to calculate, such as how to avoid being washed away by the accumulated water flow, how to gradually build it up, and how to completely cut off the water in a short time so that people downstream can easily find it, and how to leave a guide that can be quickly demolished, etc.
wait.
Wang Lin was naked from the waist up, showing off her strong muscles.
He lowered his head and rolled up his lower clothes, and walked into the water with the wood in his arms. The soldiers were pounding the wood into the water and driving it in. Wang Lin was calculating something while walking, and kept mumbling in her mouth.
The elder Wang Lin could not see any signs of time at this moment. He was more enthusiastic than the soldiers. He walked around, sometimes entering the water, and then suddenly coming ashore.
Several military officials were always holding papers and pens, and kept recording after Wang Lin's dictation.
Wang Lin went to higher ground several times to check the water situation in the distance.
From the beginning to the end, Liu Taozi has been by his side. When Wang Lin does something well, Liu Taozi will humbly ask him for advice.
Of course, Wang Lin had nothing to hide. The former prince no longer held it, and directly mingled with the 'Beihu' in the Mandrill Camp. "My lord, this wooden stake is the most effective. Usually,
It is one pile in twelve steps, and then it is calculated based on the water flow, and it gradually increases. The main thing is to look at the water. Different water has different requirements. When I was in the south."
Wang Lin talked eloquently, and Liu Taozi listened very carefully.
"This water flow has rules and can even be judged by the fish in the water, just like this Chushui, my lord, look at it"
Everyone was busy, Wang Lin was talking and working, and Liu Taozi was no exception. She also followed Wang Lin's example, took off her shirt, and started to follow the soldiers to repair the dam.
Did it all night.
Everyone rested here.
The stars in the sky are exceptionally bright, brighter than ever before.
Wang Lin was sitting in front of the bonfire, roasting her body, disheveled.
Looking at the flames in front of her, Wang Lin couldn't help but shiver again.
Liu Taozi and Shi Wansui sat opposite and to his left respectively.
"The prince seems to be afraid of fire?"
Shi Wansui suddenly asked.
Wang Lin pursed her lips and her eyes gradually turned sad. Liu Taozi shook her head at Shi Wansui, who quickly lowered his head and said, "I'm the one talking too much."
"No problem."
"Back then, I led an army of 100,000 to fight against the Chen people. At that time, all my troops were elite soldiers and strong generals. I defeated powerful enemies several times in a row. I had eight large ships under my command alone!"
A smile appeared on Wang Lin's face.
"The Chen people at that time were so frightened that they ran away when they heard my name and did not dare to fight with me."
"Hou Andu, Zhou Wenyu, Xu Du, Wu Mingche, and Huang Fazhu are all defeated by me."
"I once lined up a hundred thousand troops on the water and told my subordinates, who was Wen Taizhen back then?"
"I remember it was a southwesterly wind"
"At night, a strong northeasterly wind suddenly blew. All my ships were destroyed and stranded on the beach, unable to return."
"I had no choice but to retreat. Then I attacked again. I remember it was a southwesterly wind. I thought I had divine help and attacked with all my strength. Who would have thought that the enemy appeared behind me and attacked with fire, burning my own ship."
"The soldiers are no longer willing to follow me."
"I'm like a lost dog, I fled to Qi."
The wind suddenly blew, and Wang Lin looked blankly at the sky again.
