Since he was thousands of miles away, Li Tianqu did not try to point fingers at the generals of the naval and army in the southern expedition to stipulate how those experts should fight... But on the eve of the expedition, he still issued an edict to remind him that the Jinghai Army was familiar with the advantage of territories and would definitely make other arrangements at the critical waterways such as the Baiteng Riverkou. He fought steadily, and there was no need to rush to attack and advance. He had to examine the situations of the tides and retreats there, the terrain and water situation there.

Liu in the official history line was eager to kill through Baitengjiangkou to Jiaozhou, where the central headquarters of the Jinghai Army was located, so he used guidance to his ministers and turned a deaf ear to the proposal of advancing, so he ended up with a big loss. However, the words that the Emperor of Wei Dynasty could have given instructing him, and the navy generals who fought against the Jinghai Army could naturally not be regarded as a warning.

What's more, although Chai Kehong, who is now commanding the Zhou army in Wei, is very Buddhist, and does not fight or rob. Although he is a general in his original trajectory, he never actively demonstrates his military talents because he does not speak of the army. He is not willing to manage his family business, so he has not been promoted for many years. Even if he receives idle positions, he should eat, drink, and drink with guests every day, and live a very casual life... But once he takes on heavy responsibilities, he will be a famous general with a life of danger and a long time of unforgettable life.

Now that he is still alive, he is old and is old, so he naturally hopes that his son will make as good a reputation as possible. Chai Kehong, who cannot lie flat at home, goes to war with orders and takes up his spirits, and does not dare to neglect at all.

It is of course not difficult to capture a few nearby villagers' guides, lure them to value profits, and verify information. You can roughly grasp the time of the tide rise and fall, as well as the depth and depth of the water level of the mouth of the Baiteng River. So seeing that the Jiaozhi Navy came quickly and retreated quickly, Chai Kehong immediately realized that there was a fraud and guessed the other party's intentions, so he immediately ordered the fleet to stop moving, and sent twenty boats to explore the waters ahead.

Most of the light boats are the military soldiers who are most proficient in water among the Wei Chaozhou Zhoushi. Even though they do not have the ability to 40 or 50 miles of water surface in the Water Margin, and have been lying under the water for seven days and seven nights, they can jump into the water and can dive and swim well. It is easier for ordinary people to open their eyes to identify whether there are large reefs under the sea, or obstacles to destroy the bottom of the ship are manually set up.

Originally, the coastal area of ​​Lingnan was rich in pearl musses, including huge pearls, but most of them were hidden at the bottom of the sea and were difficult to catch. Therefore, Liu Yu, the head of the late Southern Han Dynasty, drew up sergeants from the navy with a skilled water quality, and recruited coastal fishermen to form a Meichuandu team. There was no need to fight, and the Ya Army specializing in diving into the sea to collect pearls... So at this time, the military soldiers who are best at diving also have the ability to pierce straight into the bottom of the sea to search for those pearl mussels buried under the sand, how could they see the towering artificial fortifications?

Twenty boats sailed forward for a distance, and after the abandoned boats jumped into the sea and were still swimming desperately towards the port, they were evenly fired at the crossbows, and when they approached, they were spear-blades and bayonets, and they harvested their lives. The well-versed soldiers jumped into the sea one after another. After a while, soldiers poked their heads out and immediately sent out a signal to signal below the sea area. Suddenly, they found wooden piles like forests under the sea.

In this way, Jing Haijun's overall plan was already clear... Chai Kehong sneered, stood at the bow of the ship, and immediately ordered:

"Send the order! The front-front tower ships should be slowly moving, and do not enter the waters ahead. The rear-front fleet will be surrounded by left and right. Guided by the exploring boats, detour from both sides, bypass the wooden stakes at the bottom of the water, and annihilate the enemy troops gathered at the mouth of the river!"

The masts and oars were connected, and Zhang Fan's cloudy Wei Chaozhou Army was divided into three parts. The fleets on the left and right sides drew an arc, and the speed was getting faster and faster, without any scruples!

After several days of hard work, taking advantage of the ebb and flowing tide, the large piece of wooden stakes that had finally been built was not useful at all... Seeing that the Wei Dynasty's fleet was like a premonition, it happened to go around the area covered with iron stakes underwater. On the warship gathered at the Baiteng River mouth, the Jiaozhi generals and soldiers immediately became turbulent. They looked at each other and saw unconcealed panic between each other's eyebrows, and they all looked at them with helplessness.

As for Wu Quan, who had already boarded the main ship, he glared with furious eyes, and his eyes were filled with horror... Impossible! How could the Wei army see through my plan so easily? If he could not take his wisdom, he had to face the battle head-on, and how much chance of winning would he have!?

Wu Quan knew that compared the Jinghai Army and the Wei Dynasty's naval army, regardless of the number of troops, warship scale, armed equipment, etc., the other side was completely different from the same level. The other side was well-trained and had a rainbow of morale. If they wanted to retreat to the enemy, the possibility of defending the key waterways of the Baiteng River was slim.

Retreat into the waters of Halong Bay, which are full of islands, and use the terrain to fight guerrilla warfare with the Wei Chaozhou Army? Since the opponent has seen through the strategy, if the Baiteng River mouth is given up, the Wei army can also allocate a fleet to deal with its own naval forces... The remaining warships can also continuously go deep into the hinterland of the Jing Navy through the Baiteng River, advance along the waterway, posing the most direct threat to the capital of Jiaozhou.

By then, the navy led by himself will be trapped in Halong Bay and cannot support the Daluo City of Jiaozhou where the Jiedushi Yang Tingyi, his father-in-law, is located... According to the latest military information and war reports, Luzhou in the northeast has been lost, and the Wei Dynasty army invaded by land is nowhere near a state from the Jiaozhou capital.

Then retreating into Halong Bay to engage in guerrilla warfare can only restrain part of the Wei Dynasty's naval army. Even though this water area is spread with more than 3,000 rocky islands of different sizes and shapes, some of which have caves to hide. The rocks are rugged and the caves are dark, and they are as complex as a maze. But it has been worn down until the Daluo City in Jiaozhou is lost and the Jinghai Army's capital has been captured by the Wei army... My hometown has been raided, so what's the point of resisting the Wei fleet here?

What's more, since the Wei army has seen through the plan of deploying large wooden piles underwater during the tide rise and fall... Wu Quan could never have thought of Emperor Wei Li Tianqu, because he was prepared for the war he had won according to the trajectory of another time and space, and even the three Battles of Baiteng River in decades and hundreds of years later... At present, Wu Quan could only immediately think that the other party was most likely to have bribed nearby fishermen, or the maritime merchants who were familiar with the terrain and water conditions of the Baiteng River mouth.

Then even if you retreat into the waters of Halong Bay, if someone leads the way, it will be difficult to perform strange results in guerrilla warfare attacks, and you may be trapped by the other party. Today, you have seen the power of the enemy's new stone thrower and hot oil bombs, so in the end you will end up being wiped out...

Just as Wu Quan racked his brains and thought about it, a large number of soldiers on the Jinghai Fleet were whispering to each other, and it was already in chaos.

The Wei Chaozhou Zhoushi had to detour left and right, avoid the large waters in the middle, and then fight towards this side, as if bypassing the natural barrier on the water surface, the fleet would be difficult to arrange its array from the front. Moreover, if a large number of ships wanted to successfully pass through the Baiteng River Estuary and continue to sail towards the heart of the Jinghai Army, they would also have to take advantage of the high and low tide to clean up the underwater wooden piles and iron rocks... Although it was difficult for the enemy to launch a large-scale comprehensive offensive immediately, this also left the Jiaozhi fleet gathered at the Baiteng River Estuary to prepare for the battle.

However, fighting early and late, fighting still... However, the Wei Dynasty's hull is stronger and larger, with more soldiers, especially firearms with more significant range and lethality effects, and how to fight this battle? Even if you have time to prepare more, it is undoubtedly a torment.

The other Jiaozhiya Generals on the main ship looked at Wu Quan with their eyes looking at the generals, anxiously waiting for their main generals to come up with a solution as soon as possible... After a moment of hard work, Wu Quan slowly raised his head. Although his eyes were full of unwillingness, he could only order with hatred:

"Quickly recall the fleet that was ambushed in Xialong Bay, and the Baiteng River Estuary is already in danger... Be sure to retreat along the river before the Wei people's boat troops arrive at the coast!"
