Royal Gold Magistrate

"It's impossible for such a thing to happen!" Li Yuanzhao said firmly, "The more cautious he is, the less likely he is to divide his troops."

"Our army has won consecutive battles and has firearms in his hands. His Xiaobo harassment must have gained little, and he can't even stop our army from marching. He will never do such a stupid thing."

"Old Fang, sometimes I really think you are overly cautious."

"Oh? Wouldn't it be better to be more cautious?" Fangzheng asked rhetorically.

It's not that he doesn't want to be cautious, it's because he has seen too many classic cases in later generations where the weak defeated the strong and made a lot of strange tricks.

If you can't do it all in one battle, the enemy will make rapid progress on the battlefield.

Evolved countless tactics that can bypass firearms, defeating the strong with the weak.Coupled with the large number of enemies, there is a good chance that they will be sucked into the quagmire.

Li Yuanzhao shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with being cautious, but you seem to think too much. Do you know what a million-dollar army is?"

"Numbers understand."

Li Yuanzhao smiled, leaned back on his seat, and recalled: "When I was young, I often pestered my father to listen to him talk about the war between Jing and Qian. At that time, the war was stalemate, and when it was the most intense, Da Jing's available troops were only more than a hundred thousand. Whenever the father talked about this, he would say that if he was given 50 troops, he would not have to worry about discussing detailed tactics with the generals day and night."

"What is the concept of an army of millions? As long as the generals leading the troops are not idiots, they can be divided into dozens of groups and quickly conquer a country."

"If those rebels really have millions of troops, in my opinion, they should have taken the initiative to attack the holy city before we arrived, regain the church's lost ground, capture Fika and seize our port, but they didn't do it, why? ?”

"Why?" Fang Zhengyi asked.

"Either they have no generals who can mobilize troops, or they have no money." Li Yuanzhao analyzed in detail, "It is hard to find good generals. There is nothing to say. Long-term conscription and strong control of various places, the people have no oil. The military expenses of the Wan Dajun will not last long, and the cost of marching is even more terrifying."

"They are afraid of the power of firearms, and they dare not take the initiative to attack the Holy City. Once they are unable to attack for a long time, the entire army will collapse or even mutiny. So they must wait until the limit has to be fought before breaking the boat and attacking the city. I think they are far from this It's getting close, but we came a little earlier."

"The Hongfeng Basin is the best opportunity. They are familiar with the terrain and have an advantage in distance to arrange in advance. Our army has advanced here, and they have already arrived with no less than a dozen waves of spies, right?"

"Thirteen waves." Fang Zhengyi added.

"That's right, after searching for so long, no matter how cautious you are, you should take some action. If you continue to lose, even if it is planned, the general's morale will be hit. So according to my observation, they have reached their limit, Hongfeng The basin is the best opportunity, they have an advantage in distance, and they have collected enough intelligence, so they don’t need complex commanding capabilities to wipe us out in a swarm! Therefore, there is a high probability that we will fight them there!”

Fangzheng rubbed his chin and questioned, "Is that really the case?"

"Heh!" Li Yuanzhao said proudly, "Old Fang, I am not as good as you in making money in this palace, and you are not as good as me in grasping the situation of the battle!"

"Let's not talk about a small traitor! Even if the emperor is in charge of the army on the opposite side, I will discipline him with a submachine gun to come and go!"

"Your Majesty, be careful..."

......

The holy city was as calm as ever.

Lai Gouer, who was supposed to be in the holy city, has already moved to the port.

The Holy City is entrusted to Master Wu.

At this moment, there are five huge ironclad ships moored in the port.

There are more than 60 warships floating on the sea.

The weather was calm and windless, and a group of sailors in the port were practicing with weapons.

Lai Gou'er sat in the temporary public house, holding a book in his hand, and behind him was a huge offshore map.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

The assistant then walked in, still holding the meal in his hand.

Put it in front of Lai Gou'er's table, and said: "My lord, it's time to eat."

"Well, let the brothers outside rest for a while and eat." Lai Gou'er put down the scroll and said.

The adjutant hesitated and said: "My lord, in fact, I don't know if I should say something in a humble position."

"Huh?" Lai Gou'er looked at him and said, "Speak directly."

"Many of us brothers floated here from Dajing, and then trained here. We have nowhere to vent our energy... How long will we have to stop at this port before we can return to the Holy City?"

Lai Gou'er said lightly: "I know, but if you have nowhere to vent your energy, you have to endure it! Keep your energy!"

"Before your Majesty and Lord Marquis set off on the expedition, you ordered me to stop the enemy at the port to prevent church forces from attacking the holy city by sea. If your Majesty does not come back for a day, we will not be able to withdraw. We must continue to practice! I really have to hold back... Forget the fish."

"Ah...you still use fish..."

"Ok?"

"No, I want to say that our warships are so powerful that there is no need to wait for the enemy here. We can take turns sending soldiers back to the Holy City to recuperate. I think many people are really mentally..."

boom!

Lai Gou'er slammed the table and looked at him coldly: "Military orders are like a mountain, not to mention your Majesty and Lord Hou have repeatedly entrusted you. If you say such things again, be careful that I will dismiss you!"

"If anyone feels lonely, send a few more scouting ships to the bay to scout!"

"Yes!"

The adjutant's heart tightened, he saluted and exited the public room.

After a meal, Lai Gou'er pushed the plate to the corner of the table and waited for someone to collect it.

Continue to pick up the book and read.

The books he read were theories on naval warfare written by foreigners.

Although the sea ships of foreigners are no longer comparable to Dajing, they still surpass Dajing in terms of rich experience in naval warfare.

After all, the frequency of naval battles is much higher than that of Dajing.

Although the content in the book is a bit outdated according to the configuration of the current Dajing ship, there are still quite a few merits.

Without letting go of the book, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The adjutant turned back and said in panic, "My lord! Our scout ship is back! The enemy ship is coming from the sea!"

Lai Gouer cheered up: "How many ships?"

"One... 150 ships! The size of the ship is no less than ours, and many of the ships are equipped with cannons. The exact number is not clear. Our scout ships are too far away, and we dare not go forward for fear of being overtaken." The adjutant sweated coldly. And down.

coming?finally come!

It's just that the opponent has 150 ships! ?

Almost twice their size, it was also loaded with cannon.

The size of the ship is about the same as theirs...the gap is a bit big.

Is the church fleet so strong! ?

After the telegram passed through his mind, Lai Gou'er jumped up against the table and said loudly: "Send the order down immediately! The whole army boards the ship and prepares to meet the enemy!"

(It’s been a bit late these days. It’s not that the board deliberately delayed the update. Sometimes it’s stuck. It’s almost the end. I’m very nervous and messy. I want to write more carefully. I feel uncomfortable every day in the middle of the night. I hope there will be a perfect ending. Everyone, go to bed early, and it will definitely be updated when you wake up in the morning.)
