The first thousand two hundred and sixty-four chapters of the difficulty of the sea
The book is followed last time.
Seeing this, Xun Yu smiled bitterly and said, "You may not know. In fact, my Xun family also sent people out to the sea in the early years.
At that time, our Xun family caught three giant ships and recruited some experts on the water to investigate overseas.
But after the three big ships went to sea, they all fell into pieces in less than a month!
If there wasn't a person with good water quality floating back on a wooden board, I wouldn't have known that they had been killed.
According to him, the depths of the sea are different from ordinary rivers, where the light waves are several or even dozens of feet high!
Once a hurricane occurs, it can even roll a whole ship into the sky!
Therefore, if the princes in the south really want to attack by sea or transport supplies to Yanzhou, they will definitely suffer a lot!"
After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he quickly asked, "Is this really that true?!"
"Take it seriously!" Xun Yu nodded seriously and said, "If the lord doesn't believe it, a family can send the person who survived by chance from the family to come here, and let the lord ask carefully."
"That's great!" After hearing Xun Yu's words, Cao Cao no longer doubted. He slapped the table and shouted excitedly: "Since that's the case, I'll be alone..."
"Brother Meng De, don't be too happy too early!" Before Cao Cao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Zhi.
"Uh..." Cao Cao was stunned when he heard Li Zhi's words, and asked in confusion: "Do you have any objections to Brother Xingzhi?"
After hearing Cao Cao's inquiry, Li Zhi did not answer, but smiled bitterly and said to Xun Yu: "Brother Wen Ruo, has your Xun family's ship reached the deep sea?"
"That's right..." After Xun Yu heard Li Zhi's words, he nodded thoughtfully.
When Li Zhi heard this, he looked "as expected", and turned his head to Cao Cao and said, "Brother Meng De has never been to the sea, so it is understandable that he doesn't know the details inside.
The sea is indeed as Brother Wen Ruo said. In the depths of the ocean, any wave can overturn a large ship.
But that's in the deep sea!
On the offshore coast, such huge waves are unlikely to occur unless it is special weather.
You can imagine how the civilians along the coast drove a small boat into the sea to fish if there were such big waves all the time?”
"..." After hearing Li Zhi's words, everyone was silent. Some people who had lived in the coastal areas nodded and agreed with Li Zhi's thoughts.
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "What should I do when I wait?"
Now that we have been siege from all sides, coupled with the attack from coastal areas, wouldn’t that mean we are facing siege from five routes?
I can no longer squeeze out my troops to deal with the attacks in the coastal areas.”
To be honest, Cao Cao is a little discouraged now!
Originally, the four sieges had already made him very imposing, and his troops were even more difficult.
Now the five-way attack...
He really didn't know how to deal with it!
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Li Zhi chuckled, shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De, don't worry too much. In fact, the combat power of the navy is not strong.
The reason why I proposed the navy was to let Brother Meng De arrange it again
When generals from Yuzhou and Xuzhou are concerned about their defensive abilities, they also have to look at their offensive abilities.
Because if a general who is only good at defense is likely to make mistakes when facing Sun Ce and the sea attack!
Therefore, the two generals in Yuzhou and Xuzhou must have the ability to lead troops to fight!"
"Is this true..." Cao Cao nodded after hearing Li Zhi's words, "Okay, when arranging the generals of these two states for brother, he will definitely consider his fighting ability."
Speaking of this, he frowned tightly again and asked, "But, what can you do if these two generals have strong combat capabilities?
As the saying goes, a clever woman is hard to cook without rice. When the troops are too different, even if the abilities of these two generals are so great, they may not be able to withstand the enemy, right?
You know, the combined total of the navy troops in the south is about 130,000!
In addition, Sun Ce's 20,000 infantrymen had 170,000!
However, each state of Yuzhou and Xuzhou has only 50,000 people. Once the enemy specializes in one state and the difference in troops is more than three times, the enemy will definitely be able to capture a state like plowing the courtyard and sweeping the caves!"
"Haha... Brother Meng De is too worried." After hearing Cao Cao's worries, Li Zhi immediately shook his head and said, "I'll say before that, the combat power of the navy is not strong!
As the saying goes, you have specialized in your profession. When navy soldiers are trained on weekdays, they specialize in water warfare, and their land warfare capabilities are not strong.
So, although there are 130,000 navy troops, their combat power has to be discounted, and the total is not as good as 60,000 or 70,000 people!
In other words, although it seems that there are 170,000 enemies, their combat power is actually equivalent to 100,000 troops at most.
The gap between the 50,000 army and the 100,000 army is actually not big.
In addition, we are on the defensive stance and have city walls to support. Even if we can't beat the enemy, we can delay enough time for us to solve Liangzhou!"
Speaking of this, Li Zhi sneered, "Hmph! After the Liangzhou incident is resolved, if they do not retreat, we will immediately return our troops to wipe them out!"
"..." Cao Cao heard this, thought for a while, and then frowned and asked, "What if they were not the navy but the army?
They can transport the army to these two states with large ships!"
After saying that, Cao Cao's face was also a little pale.
Because he suddenly thought that once the enemy could use ships to transport the army, any coastal areas might be used by the enemy!
By then, it will not be a problem of being attacked by several groups, but will be surrounded in all directions!
"Haha..." Looking at Cao Cao with a pale face, Li Zhi chuckled, shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De doesn't have to worry about this. I just said that I have specialized in my profession!
Those armies trained in land warfare and did not have water warfare, so they were average in water and had never been on board.
And 30% of people who have never boarded the boat are seasick (I haven't found the fictional data, but as far as I know, there are indeed many people who are seasick. It's less said that 30% of them are enough, but some people can overcome it, while others can't).
If they really dare to use large ships to transport troops along the long sea route, they will at least reduce their staff by 10% or 20% during the transportation process!
And how do they deal with the corpses of these or two adults?”
"This is not simple yet?" Xiahou Dun
After hearing Li Zhi's words, he waved his hand carelessly and said, "If a certain family was a general on the boat, he would immediately order people to throw the dead soldiers into the sea!
Anyway, there are countless sea fish in the sea, and these people will be eaten by the fish in no time. How convenient is it."
"Haha..." Li Zhi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If they throw these people into the sea, will their morale still be better?
The saying "Rabbit dies and foxes are sad" is not just a saying!
If they really don’t care about the lives of the soldiers, the morale of the soldiers will inevitably decline greatly, and they may not have much combat power left by then!"
After hearing Li Zhi's words, Xiahou Dun said, "Since you can't throw them away, then put them on the boat, which won't occupy much space anyway!"
"Hahaha..." After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Li Zhi laughed and said, "It would be even better if they dared to put the bodies of those damaged people on the boat!
The climate at the sea is relatively warm, and the weather is gradually getting warmer, so the bodies will rot in a short while!
And once they rot, there will be a plague!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Xiahou with a smile and asked, "Miaocai, you should have seen the power of the plague when you followed Brother Meng De to attack Chang'an, right?
Do you think the enemy can resist the plague?”
"Hiss..." Xiahou Dun couldn't help but shivered after hearing Li Zhi's words.
When Xiahou Dun thought of the tragic situation of the plague, he felt uncomfortable all over.
If possible, he will never want to face the plague again forever.
Xiahou Dun really didn't think about what happened before, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Since you can't keep it or throw it away, then just burn it to ashes!"
"Haha..." Li Zhi chuckled and shook his head without saying anything when he heard this.
"..." After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, the others also looked at him with idiots.
Xiahou Dun was not a fool after all. After seeing the eyes of everyone, he thought for a moment, then scratched the back of his head awkwardly and said dryly: "Haha... there is water everywhere on the sea, and there is no combustible thing on the boat. And once it is ignited, even the boat will burn. This method really won't work."
Although Xiahou Dun was defeated, Cao Cao was happy. He laughed and said, "In this way, it is unlikely that the enemy will use large ships to transport the army?"
"That's right" Li Zhi nodded affirmatively and said, "Brother Meng De, please keep your heart in your stomach.
Even if the enemy is really stupid to transport people from the sea with a ship, they must be the ones who suffer in the end!"
"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded with relief and asked Li Zhiwen: "Brother Xingzhi, besides asking Xuzhou Yuzhou, do you have any other suggestions?"
"No" Li Zhi thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Brother Meng De has not omitted it, but I want to ask myself to stay in Luoyang.
After all, I am very familiar with Luoyang, and with only 70,000 people fighting against the 400,000.5 million people in the southern princes, I am very stressed. If I don’t go and see it myself, I am really worried.”
