Chapter 1601: Battle across seas
Chapter 1601 Cross-sea battle
Chapter 1599: Cross-sea battle
Maybe Zhu Tianpeng will lead the Qi army and navy across the sea?
In this era, normal people would never have such an idea. Even Wang Mang, who came from time-travel, did not expect it at first. After all, it has long been a consensus that ships from the north to the south.
Even the Jiangdong navy, which is recognized as the number one navy, may not be able to conquer the moody sea, let alone the navy in the north?
Wang Mang was sure that Li Jing had not thought of this, so he dared to go out in full force. However, what he did not expect was that Li Jing, an ancient man, also guessed that he would take the sea route.
Li Jing had such an idea mainly because the previous floods flooded the Qi army, and the Qi navy left a deep impression on him.
In the previous water attack, Li Jing was originally prepared to show mercy, but Ran Min dug up all the embankments without permission. As a result, the main force of 45,000 Qi troops drowned and more than 400,000 people on both sides of the Yellow River were affected. , which shows how powerful that water attack was.
Even with such a sudden flood, it still did not harm the Qi Navy at all, and not even a single person in the Qi Navy was killed.
Li Jing was also very surprised when he learned this. Anyway, the navy he trained definitely did not have such quality. At the same time, he was glad that he did not lead his own navy to compete with Zhu Tianpeng's navy, otherwise his reputation would be ruined. Once upon a time.
Therefore, when he learned that the Qi navy did not take the Yellow River waterway but was missing, a bold idea appeared in Li Jing's mind.
Since the navy of Qi State can withstand its own water attack, it may also be able to withstand the wind and waves on the sea. Naturally, it can reach the battlefield directly by sea.
Of course, Li Jing also knew that all this was just his own speculation, and Zhu Tianpeng might have transferred the navy back to Qi, but as long as it was possible and feasible, Li Jing had to take it seriously, because he also couldn't afford to lose.
In addition, only Zhu Tianpeng's invasion across the sea is a blind spot in almost everyone's thinking. Only in this way can Wang Mang be given the confidence to win, and all the previous doubts can be explained.
Tomorrow is the day of the decisive battle, and the Qin army is also ready for the decisive battle. Li Jing cannot withdraw his troops just because of a guess, so while thinking about countermeasures, he sent a letter to the coastal counties in Feige, asking each county to send people to the beach to confirm. , did Qi Jun really choose to take the sea route?
At the same time, ten nautical miles away to the east of the North Sea, strong winds were blowing and there were raging waves, but there was a fleet that was moving smoothly amidst the strong winds and waves.
Zhu Tianpeng stood on the main ship's plywood, staring at the sea intently, and ordered: "Turn right rudder."
【Ding dong, Zhu Tianpeng’s skill ‘Tian Shui’ is activated.
Tianshui: Commander of the Tianhe water army, he controls the water of the sky. All rivers and lakes are surrendered, and crossing the water is like walking on flat ground. This is Zhu Tianpeng's unique skill.
Effect 1: During a water battle, the commander gets +4, and the overall combat power of the entire army is greatly improved.
Effect 2, this effect activates force +5. If it can kill generals, the overall quality of the entire army will be partially improved.
Effect 3: When fighting on the water, you will definitely have smooth sailing. Even if you face strong winds and waves, you will definitely reach your destination smoothly without any hindrance. 】
[Ding dong, Zhu Tianpeng's skill 'Tian Shui' effects 1, 2, and 3 are activated one after another, command +4, force +5, basic command 96, force 104, Shangbaoqin gold palladium +1, weak water dragon horse +1, The current commander level has increased to 100, and the force level has increased to 111. 】
Following Zhu Tianpeng's order, the flag carriers of the main ship immediately sent out flags, and the main ship Chops immediately turned the rudder. As the main ship turned its direction, the other ships also turned to the right, escaping by narrow margins. There was a big wave.
"Huh..." Xia Ruqi took a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, how do you know that there will be waves in that direction?"
Zhu Tianpeng didn't look back, and continued to stare at the sea, and said calmly: "What does this mean? Before I joined the army, I once set up a boat to travel to Japan alone. Compared with the waves in the Japanese sea, the North Sea is The waves are nothing.”
The degree of danger at sea is naturally a hundred times that of rivers. When Zhu Tianpeng proposed taking the sea route, almost the entire Qi army opposed it. After all, no one wanted to die in the sea.
But seeing that Zhu Tianpeng looked confident that he could lead the army to Beihai, the generals of the Qi army had no choice but to believe in Zhu Tianpeng.
After the Qi army entered the sea, when they witnessed the rough waves on the sea, even the generals such as Wang Yantong were frightened to the point of turning pale.
Under Zhu Tianpeng's calm command, the Qi navy safely avoided one storm after another. Only then did all the Qi army generals breathe a sigh of relief and fully believed that Zhu Tianpeng could lead them to their destination.
"Lord, less than ten nautical miles to the west is Beihai County. Why don't we land and continue to float in this sea area?" Wang Yanzhang asked with a puzzled look.
"Li Jing is not only cautious, but also calculating. When he realizes that our navy is missing, he will try his best to find our whereabouts. He may guess that our army is coming across the sea." Zhu Tianpeng said solemnly. road.
“Can you guess this?”
Wang Yanzhang's eyes widened. He didn't even expect that Qi Jun would take the sea route. If Li Jing could even guess this, was he still a human being?
“Li Jing must not be underestimated. The previous water attack was the price of underestimating him.”
A trace of solemnity flashed in Zhu Tianpeng's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "If Li Jing had really guessed it, Qin Army spies should be everywhere along the North Sea at this time. Once our army logs in, they will be immediately exposed to Li Jing. By then, Li Jing will definitely formulate a strategy in advance, so there is little point in our army taking the risk of crossing the sea.
But as long as our army does not land, even if it is just floating like this, Li Jing cannot determine our whereabouts, so he can only think that the navy has returned to Qi State. "
"I see."
Sharuchi looked surprised, and then asked: "Then when will our army land? And where will it land?"
Zhu Tianpeng thought for a while and then replied: "Tomorrow morning, after Li Jing and Wang Mang start fighting, we will go to the waters of the North Sea, go around to the rear of Li Jing, and launch a general attack directly from the back of the Qin army."
Zhu Tianpeng initially thought about taking advantage of the lack of troops in Beihai to launch a surprise attack on Beihai and knock down Beihai City. However, he only had 10,000 troops in hand. Even if he could capture Beihai, it would be difficult to hold on to it.
Furthermore, the war has progressed to this point, and the gains and losses of one city or one area are of little significance. Only by wiping out all the Qin army's power in Qingzhou can they, the Qingzhou princes, feel completely at ease, so he gave up the idea of raiding Beihai.
On the other side, Li Jing and other generals of the Qin army stayed up all night, just waiting for information from the counties near the sea, but they still found no trace of the Qi navy.
At this point, even Li Jing couldn't help but wonder if he had really thought too much.
Second update, this is today’s guarantee, there will be more to come.
