Chapter 720: General

"The point of attacking Jiangmen Port." Gabriel directly threw out his own analysis and said, "If the East China Sea really simply besieged Jiangmen Port, they don't need to use so many warships. After all, they don't know that our warships are all added. Equipped with artillery, their combat effectiveness has greatly increased. They are likely to think that they have an absolute advantage on the sea, and take the opportunity to play a big game. The water flow rises significantly in the autumn rain season, not only the five rivers, but also the Donau River. The layout of mines will inevitably be affected. If they do not count the casualties, how about using a boat to ride the mines?"
　　
Another main chief of staff, Kelman, also nodded in agreement: "The East China Sea has been testing our mine formations over the years, and even stole a lot of mines from us. Therefore, I have reason to believe that they have already They have mastered a certain method of demining, and even they have mastered the method of making black powder.
　　
This person, Stubin, must pay for his sorrow, and he thinks he is extraordinary. He regards the great loss he suffered on the Donao River as a lifelong shame and has always held a grudge in his heart. He will inevitably hold the thought of getting up from where he falls. Over the years, the heart of annexing the Danube Plain has not died.
　　
　　 For them, the five rivers are just temporary looting channels. Even if we do not resist, they will eventually have to withdraw because of the weather.
　　
　　 How can they just be satisfied with the situation when they think that the military is dominant?
　　
　　 It is the kingly way to win the Donau River, which allows their huge fleet to enter and exit the Donau Plain. Then the entire Donau Plain will tremble under his fleet. This is what he wants most.
　　
　　 In order to achieve this strategic goal, Jiangmen Port has to fight, even if it pays a certain price, it will not hesitate. "
　　
　　 "Their forces are sufficient, and the possibility of a two-line attack is greater."
　　
"Jiangmen Port is located in the river. The terrain is relatively narrow. Their huge fleet cannot be deployed at all. If it were me, I would lay down the infantry along the coast and near the natural deep-water port. , Gnaw down Jiangmen Port, their giant warships should not be the main offensive force, but used to transport troops."
　　
　　 "I also agree with the speculation that they will attack Jiangmen Port and plunder Donau Plain through other tributaries."
　　
"I agree."
　　
　　 "I agree too."
　　
　　 All the marshals participating in the meeting affirmed and supported the analysis of the two main chiefs of staff.
　　
　　 Their analysis is not so troublesome, they just change positions.
　　
　　 If you use such a large force yourself, it will definitely not be for the sake of showing off your might or plundering.
　　
　　 "Since the opponent's military purpose has been basically determined, how do you think the marshals should fight this battle?" Sean raised another issue.
　　
　　 "How else can I fight? Of course, soldiers will come to flood the water and soil, and intercept the whole line."
　　
　　 "Doing this is too passive."
　　
　　 "Do you have a better way?"
　　
　　 "I have an immature idea, but a bit risky."
　　
　　 "War is a risk in the first place. If you have any good ideas, hurry up and listen."
　　
Kelman cleared his throat and said again: "No matter how Stubin's strategy and tactics are arranged, one thing must be beyond their expectation, that is, our new warship equipped with magic sails and artillery, the naval battle is far more powerful. Far beyond their imagination.
　　
　　 In their view, their huge fleet occupies an absolute advantage. Our navy can only shrink in the Donau River, relying on Jiangmen Port to fight defensive counterattacks, and all the initiative is in their hands.
　　
　　Strategy and tactics are about attacking the unpredictable. Why don't we make full use of their blind spot and give them a punch? "
　　
　　Marshal Arnold's eyes lit up: "The chief of staff meant that the Explorer Navy took the initiative to attack?"
　　
"It's not only as simple as taking the initiative to attack." Kelman didn't sell off, and directly threw out his entire strategic intentions. "The main force of the Explorer Navy entered the East China Sea and hovered in a roundabout way, leaving only a part of the warships in Jiangmen Port. A defensive counterattack confuses Steubin. When they start to attack Jiangmen Port with all their strength, you will attack their main fleet from the back. Once their main fleet cannot withstand the assault of our Explorer Navy , What will be launched next, I don’t think I need to say more?"
　　
"It's a surprise. This trick is too vicious, but I like it." Marshal McGee slapped his thigh and laughed loudly. "At that time, they were not only attacking the Jiangmen Port fleet, they had already penetrated ours. In the mine formation, the army has already landed. Once their main fleet at sea is defeated by our navy, regardless of the outcome of the battle at sea, these two routes will basically be made dumplings. I don’t know how much to eat. Shuangli, the matter of guarding Jiangmen Port is left to our Skull Smasher."
　　
"You old boy, whenever you want to grab the best job, I can't let you this time. The cavalry of our Guards is the best at hunting down. You should guard your river section obediently." Marshal Dickron would not give in to Marshal McGee.
　　
　　 "The two marshals, it would be unkind to do this. The defense of Jiangmen Port has always been presided over by our Third Army. As a support for the guest army, you grab our job as soon as you get started. Isn't it a bit unkind?"
　　
Marshal Eriksson was also unwilling to show weakness, and he refused to let the credit of being so close at hand. His rebuttal also made the two marshals speechless. "By then, they will all be fished ashore, even if they are No matter how much you jump, you can’t turn over. The speed is not important. The key is to stabilize the character. Instead, it is the defense of other river sections, which requires high mobility. The Guards are the most mobile army among us. This task is Do your part? And Marshal McGee’s army has just moved south, right? We don’t have time to change defense at all. It’s the most appropriate to be stationed nearby for defense, right?"
　　
"The battle hasn't started yet, you guys are grabbing your merits first." Sean couldn't help but laugh and curse. These marshals were not so much robbing their own merits as they were seeking welfare for their subordinates, but when they were actually assigned tasks, But they can't help it.
　　
　　 "Marshal McGee." Sean ordered his troops.
　　
　　 "Yes." Marshal McGee responded.
　　
　　 "Give you two boats, you lead your army to guard the line of the Bazhu River, and you must not allow the robbers to penetrate into our hinterland. If it affects the autumn harvest here, I will hold you accountable."
　　
　　 "Yes."
　　
　　 "With Marshal Tagore leading the Tiger Corps, he can reinforce the Yudai River line, and at the same time send two boats to him."
　　
　　 "Yes."
　　
　　 "Marshal Yar, your two ancestral legions are stationed on the Maris River and the Ness River respectively. At that time, two boats will be sent to support you on each river."
　　
　　 "Yes."
　　
　　 "Marshal Dickron, you led the guards and the cliff armies, and sent four boats to help you guard the Banes River. At the same time, you are ready to respond to Jiangmen Port at any time."
　　
　　 "Yes."
　　
"Marshal Eriksson, your Third Army still guards Jiangmen Port. The Explorer Navy left ten wavebreaking warships to assist in the defense. The remaining warships are led by Marshal Arnold out to sea, dormant in roundabouts, obeyed orders, and launched against the enemy's main fleet. Raid."
　　
　　 "Yes." Marshal Eriksson and Marshal Arnold stood up at the same time.
　　
　　 "Since the order is clear, let's start. I want all the legions to enter the designated combat positions within three days." Sean said with a solemn expression.
　　
　　 "Yes." All the marshals responded in unison.
　　
　　 "I wish us victory and severe damage to Steuben's East China Sea Fleet in one fell swoop, and reverse the offensive and defensive situation of both sides." Sean waved his arm heavily.
　　
　　 "Ever night and always win." The marshals shouted together.
　　
As the smart figure of the mountain eagle shuttled over the Donau Plain, the Yongye leader began to turn, and every Yongye leader was a small gear on the machine. When everyone, stick to their posts and complete their own When the task is divided, its operation is at its best.
　　
The Evernight Army Leadership Meeting, the night before the event, the Explorer Navy led by the Evernight Army left Jiangmen Port in the dark and entered the East China Sea. The East China Sea Fleet led by Steuben was in mighty force the next morning. Killed.
　　
　　 Before King Stubbs set out, he repeatedly warned himself not to repeat the same mistakes.
　　
　　 In the end, he still made the same mistake the last time, that is, underestimating the Yongye Army's technological development ability.
　　
Still looking at and evaluating the leader of Yongye with the old eyes, thinking that his huge fleet occupies an absolute advantage, the other party has no guts to engage in large-scale naval battles with him, and he is guarded, naturally inferior, and there is even no offshore outpost. Let go, it just rushed up with such care.
　　
　　 Anyway, it's useless even if it is released.
　　
Limited by the means of communication, if the distance between the two parties is too far, there is no way to communicate. Even the mountain eagle led by the Yongye army is not easy to use. After all, the road recognition mode of the mountain eagle is relatively rigid, and it is between points. , While the sea battleship is in motion. Shanying also has to rely on luck to find the target. The greater possibility is that it will never return.
　　
Fortunately, the Yongye Army leader is about to break the shackles in this area. The radio research team led by Sean has made breakthrough progress. In the near future, the Yongye Army leader will be equipped with magical communication on the ship. Device for long-distance positioning and call.
　　
　　 But this is the future, and there is no chance to use it in this all-out naval battle with the East China Sea.
　　
　　 Stubin’s strategy and tactics failed to escape the predictions of the emperor and ministers of the Yongye Army.
　　
　　 After the East China Sea Fleet arrived at the estuary of the Donao River, it began to divide its forces.
　　
　　 There are more than two thousand small and modified warships, along the coastline of the Donau Plain, to the north to kill, obviously to find those inland rivers with soaring flow into the sea, ready to take the opportunity to drive straight in.
　　
　　 The remaining 1,000 ships will cooperate with giant warships to unload infantry on the coastline.
　　
　　Opu Harbor.
　　
　　 A large-scale landing site selected by the East China Sea Fleet.
　　
　　 This place is located ten kilometers above the estuary of the Donao River. It is the closest natural large-scale landing site to Jiangmen Port. The next natural landing site like this one will need to walk 80 kilometers upstream.
　　
　　 The East China Sea Fleet is fighting away, and landing operations are its own shortcomings. The shorter the marching distance on the ground, the better, and it’s definitely not far away.
　　
　　 The East China Sea Fleet knows this, and the Yongye Commander also knows this.
　　
　　The two armies of the Bull and the Fortress of the Yongye Army led the Third Army, so brightly camped in the most suitable place for landing in Aopu Bay, and put on a sniper posture.
　　
　　 "Send the new natives to try these guys first." Steubin waved his hand expressionlessly.
　　
　　 "Order the sailors of the Third Fleet to land."
　　
　　 Along with the rumbling of war drums, one-third of the small warships in the East China Sea Fleet moved, changing from slow to fast, and hurried towards the shallows.
　　
　　 Although they only dispatched more than 300 small warships, the momentum was still very shocking.
　　
On the bow of each small warship of the East China Sea Fleet, there is a cowhide drum. Next to it, a strong man wields a pair of hammers, which is accompanied by the cruel and brutal cries of the sailors on the warship. .
　　
　　 Bow drum is not a unique method of the East China Sea Fleet, but a conventional method of all fleets of the Commons family.
　　
　　 The Commons family has already developed the usage of this drum to the extreme, and it even has the color of psychological warfare.
　　
　　 Contact the friendly forces with the sound of drums, tell them where they are, and pass the offensive and retreat orders, which are all routine operations.
　　
　　 When they looted, once they found their whereabouts exposed, they would inevitably beat their drums to show their power to the enemy.
　　
　　 Many inadequately trained soldiers or local defensive forces that finally mustered up the courage to prepare to resist. Facing this kind of psychological offensive, they often collapsed without fighting, making it easy for the Commons family fleet to land and plunder.
　　
　　 This time is no exception.
　　
　　 When the three-hundred-faced war drums beat at the same time, the drums really shook the sky. If they were replaced by an ordinary army, they might be shocked by them.
　　
　　 But it is a pity that they are now facing the regular army led by the Eternal Night Army, whose will is like iron, and they are not moved at all.
　　
　　 "Stay steady, hold steady, wait until they get close before hitting."
　　
　　 "Everyone conducts the final equipment inspection."
　　
　　 "Relax~EbookFREE.me~ Just like our usual training, they are just a group of bluffing toothless sharks. When they get ashore, let's let them see and see what is the real regular army."
　　
　　 The full-blown commands and cheering sounds of the front-line commander led by the Yongye army, one after another.
　　
　　 Although there is no such a thunderous sound of war drums, the strong self-confidence revealed in it makes the soldiers feel at ease.
　　
　　 "The archers prepare, shoot, shoot, and kill them all."
　　
　　The landed soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet were the first to be unable to bear it and launched a long-range attack.
　　
　　 At this time, their lack of training and the strengths and weaknesses of the first-line commanders are vividly demonstrated.
　　
When the warship landed a full two to three hundred meters from the shore, some soldiers on the warship began to bow and shoot arrows. Most of them held composite short bows, and their range was quite limited, let alone the bulls and bulls. In the camp of the fortress legion, there are not many that can land on the beach.
　　
As the warship kept advancing, arrows began to fall to the head of the leader of the Eternal Night Army. All the soldiers did not move. After falling into the army, the damage caused was quite limited, because what they formed was a defense. The formation, the front and the top of the head are strictly protected by composite tower shields.
　　
　　 The composite short bow in the hands of the soldiers of the East China Sea is not enough to penetrate the tower shield made of composite materials for the Yongye Army leader.
　　
　　 "Rocket, prepare, let go."
　　
　　 And at this time, Yongye Army leader's counterattack arrived.
