Chapter 855: Ultra-Long-Range Naval Gun Attack
"General, why don't we just attack from all sides!"
Just when everyone was arguing, Yue Fei stood up and had a bold plan.
"Attack from all sides? Tell me more about it!" Guo Hao raised his eyebrows. He knew that Yue Fei's attack would not be a simple rush forward.
"Japan uses cities as strongholds and has deployed such a large-scale defense line. It must be weak on the outside but strong on the inside!" Yue Fei drew a circle on the map with his finger.
According to the tests during this period, the Japanese army, which claimed to have 500,000 troops, was actually about the same in number, but only about 400,000 were really worth paying attention to, and this scale was not an insurmountable wall for the Han Dynasty.
"Our army will use three gates as false and one gate as real. We will first attack from the east, west and south, and use the north gate as a feint. When the situation is more than halfway, Feixiong and Yulin will attack from the north gate."
"The east gate was initially attacked by the local army, with the Xiandeng as support. The west gate was attacked by the Jinjia Lishi and Beiwei Army, with the local army as support. The south gate was attacked by the Xianzhen Army, with all the elite troops of the Han Dynasty taking action."
"When Feixiong and Yulin start to exert their strength, Xiandeng and Beiwei troops will withdraw from the east and west sides and attack the south gate, so that they will not be able to take care of both ends!"
Yue Fei briefly described his plan, which was to take advantage of Japan's lack of manpower, or lack of elite troops.
An elite army of less than 100,000 soldiers scattered across the four gates will inevitably be short of manpower. At that time, as long as they use false and real tactics to cover up the focus of the attack and force the enemy to divide their forces for defense, they will surely be able to win the battle in one go.
For such a large army, the defensive works such as city walls in a city are really of little significance.
Yue Fei's plan was simple, but it accurately hit Dongying's weak spot. As the saying goes, all warfare requires deception. If they were in each other's shoes, no one could think of a good way to deal with it. Regardless of other things, they naturally could not play the game without enough cards in their hands.
"What if the other party concentrates their strength on one gate to make a breakthrough?" Zhuge Liang asked suddenly. He, who had always been a stability-conscious person, used Liu Hua's talent to put himself in Japan's shoes and proposed an extremely risky decision.
"If the enemy uses one gate as a breakthrough, who do you think they will target, Kong Ming?" Yue Fei smiled indifferently.
"Of course it is the general. If Japan wants to turn the tables, it can only capture the general alive and seek peace!" Zhuge Liang asked without hesitation.
This is Japan's biggest problem now, and also the biggest problem of the island country. With the sea trade routes cut off, they have fundamentally lost all hope.
If they could capture Guo Hao alive, they would have a chance to submit to the Han Dynasty on this basis. If they couldn't do that, they would be reduced to ashes.
As for killing Guo Hao, putting aside the possibility of doing so, they would not be able to withstand the subsequent retaliation from the Han Dynasty.
Without saying anything else, two or three fleets bombing the coast day and night is enough to send Japan to the sky.
Without the fishing industry, Japan will be devastated, and the subsequent food problem alone will be enough to cause internal strife in Japan.
The reason why Oda Nobunaga concentrated all his forces in one place was to prevent being defeated one by one. If he really had to disperse 500,000 troops everywhere, it would not take much time for the Han Dynasty to capture and defeat them one by one.
"If the general has Feixiong and Yulin by his side, does Kong Ming think that Japan can capture the general alive?" Yue Fei smiled slightly and asked the last question.
"..." Zhuge Liang thought about the flying bear, then thought about the perversion of the Yulin Army, and shook his head. There was no legion in the world that could annihilate these two legions.
Moreover, as long as Feixiong and Yulin have a sound mind and want to leave, they will definitely not be surrounded and killed by the army.
"What do you think, General?" Yue Fei turned his gaze to Guo Hao.
"Yue Fei, how dare you be so arrogant..."
As Yue Fei and Zhuge Liang debated, everyone understood what Yue Fei meant, and someone immediately slammed the table and stood up.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Putting Guo Hao in the position of bait would have been enough to punish Yue Fei in previous dynasties.
"Using me as bait?"
Guo Hao was very calm. He waved his hand to signal the angry generals to sit down. Yue Fei's plan was actually very practical, but as always, it lacked political thinking.
However, Guo Hao was very satisfied. From a practical point of view, Yue Fei's plan was indeed very feasible, and there seemed to be no problem with security issues.
Just as Yue Fei said, Fei Xiong and the Yulin Army wanted to leave and there was no way they could be kept back.
Besides, Oda Nobunaga simply could not spare so many men to surround and kill Guo Hao. If he wanted to resist the fierce attacks from three directions, he would have to mobilize most of his men to do so.
"Hua Xiong, Wang Min, do you have confidence?" Guo Hao turned his gaze to the two legion commanders of the Feixiong Army and the Yulin Army.
"General Dingbao is well!" The two were very confident .
"In that case! Then let's carry out Pengju's plan. My safety is in your hands!"
"Zhuge Kongming will be the overall commander of this operation. All units must follow orders in an orderly manner. If anyone disobeys orders, I will not let them off easily. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Everyone stood up and clasped their fists.
In the Han Dynasty, the atmosphere was previously very relaxed, but after Guo Hao's previous edict of repentance, it was corrected and issues of principle could not be touched.
The current atmosphere is loose in private, but once things get serious, all rules and regulations are followed and no one is allowed to violate them.
"Okay, let's get ready."
Guo Hao chuckled and announced the end of the meeting.
…
After making preparations for war, the Han army began to advance directly without any hesitation.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
With the sound of the horn, the prepared Han Dynasty began to open fire at full force.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, loading is complete, shall we fire?"
"Launch the attack as planned!" Zhou Yu nodded and signaled Sun Ce to order the ship's guns to fire.
After repeated confirmation by Taishi Ci and others, there is absolutely no error problem. It is definitely the defense project covering the surrounding of the city. It is guaranteed that one wave of attack will turn the defense measures built with great effort by Japan into ashes.
"Fire!"
Sun Ce roared with excitement and gave orders.
More than five thousand spears with purple lightning shot out, and with just one strike, most of the fleet's cloud reserves were emptied. This was a secret technique specially developed by Zhou Yu and Zheng He to cooperate with the land troops' advance.
However, due to its infancy, the power loss was not satisfactory. The power of a single ship was roughly equivalent to the full-strength attack of Peacock. However, the killing range was based on the Changshui standard, but the price was the consumption of an entire fleet.
No matter from which level it seems a bit of an exaggeration, but in the current situation, such a blow is quite good.
"Enemy attack!"
As someone from Japan shouted this, the naval guns like spears fell completely, and the temporary camps originally scattered on the east and west sides of the city suffered a horrible blow.
