Chapter 1806 The Battle of the Yangtze Estuary Continuation IV
He Qi's thinking is still a bit too optimistic, because Zhuge Liang will not give him more time at all, when Zhuge Liang and Gan Ning gather, that is when the war breaks out.

Gan Ning led the main force to the round earlier than Zhuge Liang expected.

The first question after the rendezvous: "What is the current battle situation?"

For Gan Ning, he is a military general, more pure. Zhuge Liang is in charge of winning the strategy, intrigues and tricks are enough. He is only responsible for one thing, and that is the offense.

Whether at sea or inland rivers, Gan Ning has an advantage that Zhuge Liang cannot match, that is, Gan Ning's command ability.

As the coach, Gan Ning is qualified. His command on the frontal battlefield has no loopholes, and his command can only bring out his tactics to the point of being impeccable.

Why did Zhuge Liang wait for Gan Ning? In addition to waiting for the main force of the Jingping Navy to arrive, he could also wait for Gan Ning's personal reasoning to make up for his lack of command.

He is responsible for the planning of the battle situation and the commander in chief of the overall situation, and Gan Ning's command ability can make his strategic deployment and tactical arrangement more ideal.

"After taking the Crocodile Mouth, the Wu army began to return to defense in an all-round way. They are now defending the Yangtze River Estuary. Although the Yangtze River Estuary has a battle line of dozens of miles, there are many shallow waterways nearby and many areas that have hit the rocks. Therefore, there are not many points that we can attack. Many, as long as he can control it to death, we are equivalent to taking less troops than them and attacking the pass that they are all in charge of! "

Zhuge Liang said softly.

The two stood side by side in front of the strategic deployment map of the command cabin, and both eyes were looking at the troop deployment map ahead and the water area map of the Yangtze Estuary.

And the generals behind him stood in neat rows on the left and right, and even their appearance was very tidy. They were all silent, showing a chilling air. Given the strict military regulations of the Ming army, they dare not speak up.

"You won't follow the path that He Gongmiao has arranged for you, will you?" Gan Ning smiled, and the cooperation with Zhuge Liang is very pleasant. The more we cooperate, the more we can understand what kind of person Zhuge Liang is.

In Gan Ning's heart, Zhuge Liang is a talent highly valued by Mu Jing, and also a closed disciple cultivated by Cai Yong in his later years, with extraordinary talent, if he takes the path of a civil servant, he will have no problem entering the political affairs hall in the future, but he prefers writing first and then martial arts, Entering the military from the Honglu Division, this kind of jump is not something ordinary people can do. Although it is not obvious to the Ming court, the unspoken rules are still the same. A person with all-round talents in civil and military affairs, that is, he has the ability of administration and the talent of serving in the army.

And Zhuge Liang is this kind of person, so Gan Ning believes that as long as Zhuge Liang does not make mistakes in the future, his future will be wider than his own.

It is not impossible to even enter the Zhaoming Pavilion as a chancellor.

Zhaoming Pavilion is the Optimus Prime of the imperial court.

"Of course not!" Zhuge Liang smiled, he likes to cooperate with Gan Ning, that is, Tu Ganning can understand him enough to understand all his strategic and tactical arrangements, and will not question him.

He took a step forward and said to the marching map: "After taking the crocodile mouth, the gate is the closest to us. The gate is a gate river channel. Because of the uneven terrain, there is a rush of water here. Many warships did not There is a way to pass, and the only thing that can pass warships here is this gate-shaped waterway, so this is called a gate. Through the gate, our army can go straight to Songshan Pass, and even all the water villages of the Wu army have been exposed. Within our attack range!"

"But at this time when we attacked the gate, He Qi was leading the way. I arranged for Cai Mao to make a false attack, just to make it false and false, so that He Qi could not see through my deployment. But I think the false attack cannot be fooled by He Qi. , but now He Qi must be guessing my attack route, as long as I don't reveal my attack route for a day, he will be uneasy!"

"This is our chance!"

"And my final intention is here!"

Zhuge Liang didn't need to show off too much in front of Gan Ning, he just had to analyze the entire tactical offensive deployment clearly.

He pointed to the water area map, a special red dot was revealed, and there was an offensive route drawn by a red arrow on it, he pointed and said: "Our goal is to attack the Yangtze River Estuary, but our strategic deployment is not actually an offensive The Yangtze River, but to force He Qi to ask for help, so our attack point is not to break through the Yangtze River mouth, but to force He Qi to feel the danger!"

"And this is exactly where He Qi's entire defensive battle situation is most likely to collapse. His defensive target is the Yangtze River Estuary, but what I am attacking is not the Yangtze River Estuary, but by attacking the Yangtze River Estuary to encircle and encircle him. !" Zhuge Liang explained clearly, and Gan Ning listened carefully.

"Qu'a, at the mouth of Taihu Lake. Taihu Lake is the dock of the Wu army's navy. This is their culprit. Most of their warships come out from here. As long as you cross the Songjiang mouth, you can go straight to Qu'a, and then Breaking through Taihukou will force the Wu Jun navy to give up their so-called defensive strategy and take back Taihukou at any cost!"

Gan Ning clapped his hands a little, this move was really good, don't say that He Qi was a little confused, if he didn't know, he would be a little confused.

"Even if He Qi has figured out your thoughts now, he must think that your target is him. Isn't it your usual method to blossom in the center?"

Gan Ning said: "Unfortunately, he has guessed your character, but he has not guessed your heart. You have completely matched tactics and strategic deployment, and as long as He Qi can't figure out your strategic goal, he will Naturally, I can't figure out your tactics!"

When Gan Ning said this, he couldn't help clapping his hands. With Zhuge Liang and without Zhuge Liang, it is a completely different concept. If it were him, he would have other ways to attack the Yangtze River Estuary, but he must be surrounded by only the Yangtze River Estuary. , but not Taihukou
"He didn't guess wrong. I still want the center to blossom. In fact, the weakness is still the weakness, and the goal is still the goal. For us, defeating their vitality is the most correct thing!"

Zhuge Liang said: "That's why I need you. If you fire the first shot, I will take advantage of the chaos and enter the war. At that time, there will be a war on both sides. You Taihukou, I will come to a center to bloom..."

"It really doesn't count for you!"

Gan Ning's eyes brightened, he already knew that Zhuge Liang's move was just one move, but he didn't expect it to be a series of moves, He Qi is so aggrieved.

"However, this is a desperate and risky move. Once they react first, the navy left behind by Taihu Lake will rush out, and then they will cooperate with the inside and outside to follow the trend. At that time, you will appear very dangerous, because Qu'a and Taihukou This battlefield is enough to trap you and prevent you from withdrawing!"

Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "It's too risky, so I will think twice, but I always think that this is the best tactical arrangement at present, and it can achieve my strategic goal!",

"There is no war without risk!"

Gan Ning said coldly: "I believe that Zhuge Kongming's strategy and tactics are the best, and I am willing to take a gamble. If the Jingping Navy can't get out, I will turn Taihu Lake upside down. Even if I die, I will pull it back." Let Wu Jun and the navy die together!"

His determination is the determination of a general. Although Zhuge Liang has a plan, he still lacks some decisiveness, so he is not the prime minister Zhuge who came out of Qishan six times in history.

"It's just that I'm too benevolent for a woman!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, reviewed his mistakes, and then said to Gan Ning: "I will let Cai Mao withdraw, and you will take over. After breaking the gate, go straight to Songshan Pass. I will attack along the northern line to cover you. You break through After Taihukou, he then used tactics instead of strategic intentions to cover me. I will give him a center bloom. If he can win He Qi, then the Wu army's momentum will naturally be solved. Even if they fail, this battle will be enough for them. Panic!"

"Ok!"

Gan Ning said: "Your tactical plan has been released, there is no need to delay, let's check the table!"

The generals above the ranks of the Ming army have already equipped with military watches. When fighting, they must plan according to the time. This is one of the reasons why the Ming army can cooperate more closely in tactics than other princes. .

"All captains, come up and check your watches!"

Zhuge Liang gave a low snort.

"It's three times in the next hour, I will replace Cai Hao and attack the gate in two hours!"

"After I gathered my forces, I went north to attack Guangling Ferry, and launched an all-round attack on the Wu Jun Navy, forcing them to focus on me!"

"Give me one night, and I will definitely win the gate!"

"You came here from a long journey, Jing Ping Erlang is already a little tired, can you fight for another night?" Zhuge Liang was a little worried.

"Don't worry, at midnight tomorrow, I will take down the gate!" Gan Ning said resolutely.

"If there is a change in the plan, you can inform me, and I will change the tactical arrangement, but if it goes well, you can't rest, you must continue to attack, the soldiers are very fast, and we will reach Taihu Lake before you tomorrow afternoon, then we will be [-]% successful! "

"Soldiers are expensive!" Gan Ning nodded, "I understand!"

After they reviewed the plan, they quickly started to move. Both sides have military staff offices, and each can continue to deduce the next tactics.

But time is very important. At this time, you can't relax half a minute.

........................

The night is shrouded, and the Yangtze River Estuary is faint, as if the wind is calm.

But at this time, He Qi didn't dare to relax at all. He lay down and got up again, lay down again, got up again, several times in a row, he was always worried.

"General?"

Ding Feng patrolled the water village at night and saw He Qi standing in the water village looking into the distance, so he immediately walked up to it.

"It's okay, I'm just a little worried, I can't go to bed, so I get up and blow some air to wake myself up!" He Qi has a strong sense of crisis.

"The general is afraid that the battle report ahead will come back suddenly..."

His voice fell, and a voice sounded.

"Urgent report!"

"Come up!" He Qi shouted with a stern expression on his face.

"General, the gate suddenly received a large-scale attack from the Ming army!"

"What?" He Qi asked, "How's the situation?"

"Can't hold it anymore!"

"Damn!"

He Qi gritted his teeth. He felt that he had been fooled. It was still the same sentence. The Ming army was incomprehensible, but now that the gate is lost, it is much more dangerous for him: "Immediately order the Yan Yu Department to rescue At the gate, if you can save it, save it; if you can't defend it, then you can take the remnant soldiers back, don't love to fight!"

"Yes!"

"In addition, order the various ministries to be on alert immediately to prevent the Ming army from attacking!"

"Yes!"

After the messenger left, He Qi still had trouble sleeping and eating. He paced back and forth, always feeling rather aggrieved in his heart.

He was not surprised that the gate was lost. Unless he increased his troops, the position of the gate would definitely be unstoppable without the defense line of the crocodile gate.

But his strategic deployment is to drag the Ming army in step by step, lure the Ming army to attack one by one, and prolong the Ming army's front.

Even if the Ming army is placed in the Yangtze River, as long as he can stretch the Ming army's front line, he will have a chance to counterattack. If the poisonous snake bites back, it will be fatal if he can bite.

But now, the gate was suddenly lost too fast, completely beyond his expectation, and the situation of the battle was still not changing as he expected.

"Ding Feng, do you still think that the Ming army has other plans?" He Qi asked.

"The Ming army stormed the gate. I don't know why, but I still think that they will not attack step by step as the general thought!"

Ding Feng insisted on what he wanted.

"Since you insist, then persist to the end!" He Qi said: "Go back and continue thinking, if you were the Ming army, from what angle would you attack our army!",

"Yes!"

....................................

The next day, even worse news came.

"What, Guangling Ferry in the north?"

He Qi was dumbfounded: "Is this such a move, is it a trick?"

"But our water village at Guangling Ferry has at least one building boat, hundreds of warships, and hundreds of warships. Once they are besieged by them, the losses will be serious!"

Zhu Zhidao.

"You let me slow down first, something is still wrong!" He Qi paced back and forth, he became more and more irritable. For sure, one south and one north are all directed at the position of the Yangtze River Estuary, but now I just can't figure it out, the Ming army is the main force along the way, maybe they are all the main force, but what is the intention of the Ming army? What is their combat intention? ?”

This point, I can't figure it out, he, He Qi, always has a feeling of uneasiness.

"General, maybe the Ming army did so much to make you relax your vigilance. Their goal is to bloom in the center. The goal is to capture the thief and the king. This is their usual tactic. This time, they may also want to behead you. "Zhu Zhi said: "Don't think about it anymore, the gate is a feint attack by the Ming army. They amplified their momentum just to attract our attention. The Guangling Ferry is less than twenty miles away from our middle camp. If they take Guangling him, they can go smoothly And next, when the time comes, we will face their most direct attack, and if we cannot defend it, it means that we cannot defend the Yangtze Estuary, so I request to send troops to Guangling Ferry!"

"No!"

Some people objected: "If the gate is lost, the main force on our southern line has already been exposed to the attack of the Ming army. If they are the main force on the southern line, then we will lose control of the entire waters south of the Yangtze Estuary. Can't stop!"
