The sky is dark blue, the sea water is like indigo, and a white light is shining at the intersection of the sea and the sky. While the continent is still boundless and deep, the southeast corner of the island has ushered in dawn.

On the mudflats, the sound of people was roaring and the flames were dotted. Groups of soldiers holding torches, the auxiliary soldiers carrying their own equipment, and some even pushed vehicles to drive cattle, horses, mules and sheep, walked down the long pallets on the side of the ship in turn, stepped into the shallow sea that was knee-deep, stepped on the waves, and stepped onto the muddy mudflats step by step.

This is a mudflat more than ten miles away from Wanning, nearly ten miles away from Chilong Mountain, and is covered with large black reefs. In the past, it was a deserted beach, but now five large and small ships emerged, hundreds of people and vehicles and animals. The noise and hustle and bustle dismembered the dead silence of the past.

After a careful investigation during the day, the Dasong Dragon Bird Conquest Army ships finally selected their docking locations and officially landed.

One hour before this, Shi Yang had led the Arctic Team of the Polu Camp to land first, spread out several miles, and used the woods, reefs and high slopes to build early warning defense points. Although it was judged that the Yuan army would not prevent the Longque Army from landing, it was related to the life and death of the army. Zhao Lie still followed the method of fighting formation and strictly implemented it meticulously.

According to the military proposal, Jiang Fenglie and Ouyang Guanhou led the Baiyiwei Guard, Zhongshun team and the B team of the Polu Camp, plus some auxiliary soldiers, servants and craftsmen, to form an assault camp. They will bypass Chilong Mountain and Wanning County, abandon the enemy of Chilong Mountain and attack directly at Wan'an Army City, the Yuan army base camp.

Zhao Liezhe led the young team, Shi Yang's Polu Camp A team and most of the craftsmen, auxiliary soldiers, and left-behind ships - or in other words, as bait.

When the plan was proposed, everyone had no objection to the general strategy of attacking Wan'an Army and staying behind to lure the enemy. They just had a dispute over who led the large army to attack and who stayed behind.

Jiang Fenglie proposed that he lead the White Guard to stay and lure the enemy, and the rest of his troops followed Zhao Lie to attack the Wan'an army. Zhao Lie firmly disagreed, believing that in the absence of solid fortifications or strong cities, it is difficult to stop Ma Fuji's 5000 new affiliated troops with only fifty or sixty flintlock rifles and support the large army to return to the rescue. Finally, Zhao Lie persuaded Jiang Fenglie and others with an irrefutable reason: "For Ma Fuji, the most advantageous plan for Ma Fuji is to attack our attack troops, which is exactly the opposite of us. So, how can Ma Fuji act according to our plan rather than his? It is not enough to have these ships and supplies as bait, and it is not enough to just cut off my back. There is also a larger and more attractive bait - that is me!"

Zhao Lie repeatedly reminded Jiang Fenglie: "Shi Yi remember that Ma Fuji is not an idiot. It is not easy to lead him into a hook. If you want to attack Wan'an's army, you must take the attack as real as attack, and don't make any tricks. Only in this way can you lead the snake out of the hole. When the horse Fuji moves, I will send a messenger as quickly as possible. At that time, you will leave a unit to restrain Wan'an's enemy. The remaining unit will immediately leave the battlefield and return to the rescue at full speed, and jointly attack Ma Fuji with me. If this battle is won, the Wan'an army will defeat itself without attacking."

Jiang Fenglie looked at Zhao Lie deeply and focused on it: "Don't worry, I will save you the loss."

Zhao Lie and Jiang Fenglie took a lot of effort to choose this landing location. This place is a muddy mudflat, which can help delay the enemy. There are large scattered reefs on the southeast of the mudflat. Moving the ships here can provide an effective barrier.

Zhao Lie and his plan to lure the enemy has an obvious flaw, that is, the remaining troops are insufficient and it is difficult to evenly distribute them to the defense of each ship. The youth team plus the Polu Battalion Armour Team has only 80 or 90 people. If they are divided into each ship, there will be less than twenty people per ship, and the firepower is dispersed, making it difficult to exert the advantages of dense firearms, and it is easy to defeat each enemy. The best defense is to concentrate all on one warship to form dense firepower. However, if the troops are concentrated, the defense of the other four ships will be completely empty. If the enemy attacks from the sea, it will be like a group of dogs biting it. It is very dangerous to rely on a full armed ship alone.

But you can't increase too much force, otherwise you will lose your intention to lure the enemy - if you have few soldiers, you will only come when you see there are advantages to take; if there are too many soldiers, you obviously can't get rid of the advantage of the local government and do the stupid thing that is easy to defend and attack?

Once the Ma Fuji launches an attack, there will be two ways: one is to raise the sail to attack from the sea, and the other is to gather troops to attack from the mudflats. Zhao Lie hopes that the opponent will choose the latter. Only in this way can one warship be used to block the other four ships. Just how can the enemy be forced to act according to their intentions?

Shi Yang, who was born in the navy, proposed a plan to beach all the ships. If the horse fuma attacks from the sea, it will inevitably be forced to beach. This is no different from attacking from the mudflats, and there are also various inconveniences. If he was a horse fuma, he would not choose to attack from the sea when facing the enemy's stranded ships.

Everyone praised their goodness, so they resolutely stranded all five ships on the mudflats, and even if the tide was rising, they could not take advantage of the situation to go out to sea. The determination of this move was no different from burning the boat.

In addition to placing most of the troops on the outermost outer wall of the ship, the battle grid, the cabin spear hole and the heavy building guardrail, Zhao Lie also selected three largest reefs on the mudflat and arranged three defense points on it. It can not only support firepower on the side, but also effectively prevent the enemy from touching the reefs from sneaking into the four ships with weak defenses.

While he was talking, several whistlemen suddenly rushed over, knelt on one knee, held up his hands high for the leader, and presented something: "Report to the Dutong, we found this on a tree trunk at the intersection of seven miles away."

Zhao Lie took it and it turned out to be a piece of characters. When he expanded it, he saw six large characters dripping ink: Zhao Mengbei died here!

The generals changed color, but Zhao Lie laughed: "I thought the horse fuji could play something. It turned out that it was just a pick-up person's Yahui, imitating Sun Bin and Pang Juan's story of Ma Lingdao. Okay, let's learn it too. Do you know how to read?" The last sentence was to ask the detectives.

The following whistleblowers bowed their heads ashamed.

Zhao Lie waved his hand: "It's okay... Zhang Junbao."

"Ah." Zhang Junbao, who was rolling his trousers, was carefully exploring the terrain with Jueyuan, who was exploring and exploring the terrain among a pile of slippery rocks, responded quickly, turned around and left, and his movements became a little more anxious, and he didn't prevent his feet from slipping. Fortunately, Jueyuan held it for a while before he fell.

When Zhang Junbao ran over with the mortar, Zhao Lie made a big fork on the character with his pen, changed a few words, and rolled it up and stuffed it into Zhang Junbao's hand: "Go back to their original place, carve the above words on the trunk, and come back quickly after finishing it."

"Follow the order."

When the first ray of sunlight shone on the mudflat at dawn, the figure of the last soldier of the assault camp barely disappeared deep in the wet woods.

Zhao Lie and the left-behind soldiers silently stared at the woods ahead. Perhaps in the near future, a large number of armed soldiers will reappear in the woods, but they will no longer be friendly troops, but enemy troops.

Zhao Lie used his hands and feet, climbed up a reef, turned to face the rows of left-behind boys and soldiers on the mudflat. The sun shone on his angular face, reflecting a deep outline. He took a deep breath of fishy air and exhaled forcefully, and suddenly said loudly: "We are going to face five times or even six or seven times of enemy. Are you afraid?"

The mudflat was silent, many soldiers looked solemn, their fingers holding guns turned white, and many young team members also turned white, and their eyes were filled with fear that could not be concealed - after all, they were a group of brave and underage boys who had not experienced any battle formations before.

Zhao Lie looked around, pressed his hands on his waist and did not pull it out, but said loudly: "Fear? Very good, just like me, at least it proves that we are all living people - only dead people will not be afraid."

The boy and the soldiers laughed—what strangely, as the laughter was, the heavy and depressing atmosphere was relaxed, and everyone felt like they were breaking free.

Zhao Lie suddenly pulled out the May 4th pistol, his muzzle was facing the sky, and his tongue was thundered: "I don't want to give you useless anger, nor do I want to say any old-fashioned encouragement. You can be afraid, tremble, or even pee your pants! But don't forget to do one thing - pull the board machine!"

Bang!
