- Jiujiang City.
King Ning settled in Jiujiang City three days ago, and at the same time received news of the fall of Nanchang.
In order not to affect the morale of the army, King Ning temporarily blocked the news, stationed the army in Jiujiang, and began to prepare warships.
Like Lin Li and Wang Shouren, King Ning also believed that the final decisive battle would be at "Poyang Lake", and the reason was very simple.
King Ning felt that the rebels were recruited temporarily, their weapons and equipment were lacking, and they were not good at water warfare!
Therefore, the counselors under King Ning believed that a water battle would be beneficial to their side, and chose the battlefield at "Poyang Lake".
More than a hundred years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang here and laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
As for Lin Li and Wang Shouren's decision to have a water war and choose the battlefield at "Poyang Lake", it's actually very simple.
Because they believe that they may not win in a land war, but in a water war, with the help of the convenient location, they still have a chance to win!
So the two sides have a tacit understanding and are preparing the ship for water battle!
By the time both sides are ready, it will be ten days later. The warships of both sides converge on "Poyang Lake", preparing to rekindle the war that happened more than a hundred years ago!
Lin Li and Wang Shouren stood on the warship and looked at King Ning's fleet on the other side, knowing in their hearts that the decisive battle was now!
King Ning's fleet was obviously larger and more sophisticated than the rebels, but Lin Li and Wang Shouren did not panic at all, but were relaxed.
Because King Ning used iron chains to tie all the warships together, there was an iron chain connecting the boats!
More than a hundred years ago, Chen Youliang also played this trick, but was burned by Zhu Yuanzhang in a fire and lost his armor.
More than a thousand years ago, during the Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao also played this trick. As a result, Chibi was burned down and Cao Wei was no longer able to go south!
Logically speaking, Prince Ning would not make such a mistake if he had learned from past mistakes, but it was a pity that he had no choice.
Because most of his soldiers were bandits and had never engaged in water battles. As a result, they became seasick as soon as they got on the ship, so there was no need to fight.
There is no other way, King Ning can only connect all the battleships. The advantage is that no matter how strong the wind and waves are, the battleships are as stable as Mount Tai!
Another advantage is that the warships are gathered together like a military fortress, making it difficult for the enemy to attack.
At the very least, when Wu Wending saw the "military fortress" opposite, he had a headache and kept thinking about how to break it?
On the contrary, Lin Li and Wang Shouren were very calm and did not even think of asking their men to attack!
Both sides fought at Poyang Lake for three days, but no one took action. In the end, King Ning took the lead and sent a vanguard fleet to attack the rebel formation.
This was a tentative attack, so King Ning only sent ten warships and two thousand troops.
Although Lin Li despised King Ning's army, he would not make a basic mistake and directly dispatched the "Vanguard Battalion" trained by Wang Shouren himself.
This army of less than 10,000 people was trained by Wang Shouren himself and assisted by Lin Li. It was trained completely according to the specifications of modern special forces.
Wang Shouren trained the "Vanguard Battalion" at the request of elite soldiers, so their combat effectiveness is extremely strong.
When the "Pioneer Battalion" and King Ning's exploratory troops came into contact, they immediately showed their superiority!
Most of King Ning¡¯s men were bandits. Although they were powerful in combat, they lacked the organization and discipline of the army.
Their fighting style is relatively barbaric, usually everyone rushes in together and kills everyone they see.
"The Pioneer Battalion" is different. They have been trained by Wang Shouren and are very proficient in battle formation coordination.
Wang Shouren commanded through remote control, and the "Pioneer Battalion" changed military formations one after another to adapt to the changing battlefield. Like a meat grinder, it killed bandits and robbers like King Ning, leaving no trace behind!
Although Lin Li has peerless martial arts skills, he has no experience in marching and fighting, but he has one advantage, that is, he will never act recklessly in something he is not good at.
It is a qualified leader to leave things that you don¡¯t know how to do to people who know how!
Lin Li just needs to stand behind the military formation and watch Wang Shouren perform.
In fact, there was no need for him to take action. Wang Shouren quickly wiped out Prince Ning's testing troops. The losses of the "Pioneer Battalion" were not great. It can be said that it was a first shot!
It goes without saying that Wang Shouren's military talent is great. King Ning has no opponent at all. The only thing he can do is to rely on his military superiority to carry out a crushing general attack.
But Prince Ning was naturally timid and could not make up his mind. Instead, he relied on the "fortress" to hold on and adopted a passive defensive posture!
"Prince Regent, now that we have achieved a small victory and the morale of the army is strong, we might as well launch a general attack and break through King Ning's army in one fell swoop!" Wu Wending looked atShouren's "Pioneer Battalion" wiped out the rebels, and I felt a little itchy!
Lin Li did not speak, but looked at the calm Wang Shouren and asked, "Master Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Shouren looked at the sky, felt the wind direction, shook his head and said, "The time has not come yet!"
Lin Li knew what Wang Shouren was talking about!
To break King Ning¡¯s military formation, the most convenient way is to use fire attack, but the fire attack must match the direction of the wind, otherwise it will not burn the enemy, but will cause him to be burned.
At that time, Zhuge Liang also said "borrowing the east wind".
At this time, there is a westerly wind blowing on Poyang Lake. If we attack at this time, we will not be able to attack with fire. We will fight with real swords and spears. King Ning's troops are obviously stronger than the rebels, and the total attack losses will be huge!
The current Wang Shouren is simply possessed by Zhuge Liang, all he needs is a feather fan.
Lin Li even suspected that Wang Shouren should have read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!
Anyway, Prince Ning must have never seen it, otherwise he wouldn't be able to play "Iron Chain Boat".
But Wang Shouren still miscalculated one thing, that is, he did not have to wait for the "east wind".
"Order the entire army to prepare for a general attack!" Lin Li looked firmly at King Ning's military formation in the distance, not intending to wait any longer.
Wang Shouren said anxiously: "If we attack now, our army will suffer heavy losses!"
Lin Li confidently said: "You go prepare the fire attack, and I will create the 'East Wind'!"
Wang Shouren asked in confusion: "Create the east wind?"
Lin Li smiled and said: "Master Wang, you were originally a civil servant, so you don't know the ability of a peerless warrior!"
Wang Shouren was still puzzled, and Lin Li did not explain to him any more. Instead, he ordered the entire army to launch a general attack.
The rebels were led by not the "vanguard battalion" nor the main fleet of the rebels, but eighteen small boats.
These small boats are filled with hay and tung oil, which can be ignited with just a spark.
When King Ning saw the boat, he knew in his heart that the rebels wanted to attack with fire, but the wind was not right now. Once the boat caught fire, it would not be able to burn him.
"Haha, Zhu ignored it, but that's it. Do you think you can fight after reading a few military books?"
The excited King Ning was not happy for long. Eighteen rockets came across the lake and lit the boat.
The eighteen small boats were like eighteen fireballs, slamming into King Ning's "fortress".
Although the fireball was fierce, it did not spread in King Ning's army formation due to the wind direction.
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out of the rebel formation. His whole body exuded surging energy, and a golden energy pulse connected the heaven and the earth. He rushed into King Ning's formation like a god descending from heaven.
This person was none other than Lin Li. He was like a whirlwind, rolling up the eighteen fireballs and rushing in a straight line towards where King Ning was.
Eighteen fireballs emitted sparks in the sky, fell into King Ning's military formation, and immediately ignited a spark.
Lin Li wanted to create the east wind by himself and spread the fire to King Ning's army! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
