Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh. Indeed, as meat was generally not available in the refugee camps, if Yu Tianxing brought beef back, he would probably arouse countless jealousies.

Yu Tianxing said: "Master Hu asked me to come here because of the war?"

Hu Xiaotian nodded and said: "Tang Boxi, the guard of Nanyang Water Village, sent someone to hold people accountable and asked me to open the city gate and hand over Dongliang County to them as apology."

Yu Tianxing said: "Master Hu will definitely not agree."

Hu Xiaotian said: "That's natural."

Yu Tianxing said: "It seems that the whole thing is a conspiracy. The caravan was robbed and killed. It was just an excuse created by Dayong. Now they finally have a reason to send troops to Dongliang County."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Nanyang Water Village has 50,000 naval troops and more than 200 warships. We have less than 3,000 people. Even if they are well-trained and brave, they cannot repel an enemy nearly twenty times their size.

What's more, they have only been trained for less than a month." Hu Xiaotian had no confidence in these soldiers under his command.

Yu Tianxing said: "It is impossible for Nanyang Water Village to send out all the troops. According to my opinion, Tang Boxi can send out at most 30,000 people. With 3,000 people against 30,000 people, it is not necessarily unreasonable."

When Hu Xiaotian heard what he said with such confidence, he was doubtful. In this world, there are many great talents who are proud of their talents, and there are also mediocre people who have great ambitions but only talk on paper. The most effective way to distinguish between the two is to practice, but there is not much time left for him.

Now, he doesn't have much time to judge Yu Tianxing's ability.

Hu Xiaotian said: "The envoy can return to Nanyang Water Village tomorrow. After Tang Boxi learned that I rejected him, he will definitely become angry. It won't take long to organize an army and go down the river to Xiasha Port. I think three

The opponent's warships may arrive at Dongliang County within a few days."

Yu Tianxing said: "He is not that fast. Although the soldiers are very fast, launching a war is not just as simple as mobilizing soldiers and raising sails and lifting anchors. It takes him two days to prepare at the earliest. It is no accident that Tang Boxi was entrusted with the important task.

His current status is all due to countless military exploits. He should consider Wuxing County on the other side, where Dakang's 30,000 navy troops are stationed. If he attacks Dongliang County, will Wuxing County come to rescue him?"

Hu Xiaotian shook his head and said: "I have sent people to Wuxing County to ask for help. The Navy Admiral Zhao Dengyun and I used to have a bad relationship in the past. I am afraid that he may not be willing to send troops to help me."

Yu Tianxing said: "Whether he helps or not, Tang Boxi will have some scruples. This determines that he will be extremely cautious in sending troops this time. It is likely that he will not dare to send troops until he has collected comprehensive intelligence. This means that you still have enough time.

to deal with it.”

Hu Xiaotian whispered: "In your opinion, how many days do I have left?"

Yu Tianxing said: "As little as seven days, as long as ten days."

Hu Xiaotian said: "If Wuxing County refuses to send troops, how will we respond?"

Yu Tianxing said: "According to common sense, 30,000 naval troops and fifty warships are enough to capture Dongliang County. Tang Boxi has been training troops in Yongjiang all year round. He should be very familiar with the environment and climate in this area. Now it is the north wind."

At its strongest, after this month's sunrise, the west wind is at its strongest. Nanyang Water Village is located about 150 miles west of Dongliang County. It requires a day and night journey when there is no wind. If you take advantage of this,

When the west wind is at its strongest, we can reach Wangri overnight. Today is the sixth day of the lunar month, so I think they would choose Wangri if they launch an attack."

When Hu Xiaotian heard this, he could tell that Yu Tianxing was extremely talented and extraordinary. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice. God help me. Although Zhu Guanqi was unwilling to work for Dakang, he met Yu Tianxing again. Although Yu Tianxing is not as deep and restrained as Zhu Guanqi

, but he is also a rare talent.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Even if we have nine days to prepare, Tang Boxi's side has an overwhelming advantage. We don't even have a decent warship, and it is impossible to fight head-on. Do we have to let them go ashore?

Huddle in the city and defend yourself to death?"

Yu Tianxing shook his head and said: "Defending the city is the last resort and the most undesirable method. Apart from anything else, the people in Dongliang County generally favor Dayong. I am afraid that once Dayong's army comes to the city, the city will be attacked first.

There was chaos, and many people in Dongliang County wished they could open the city gates and beat gongs and drums to welcome them in."

Hu Xiaotian's biggest headache is this matter. People's hearts are not on his side at all, and defending the city is simply unrealistic.

Yu Tianxing smiled and said: "So if we really fight, we still need to rely on the Kang people. Only with the majesty and momentum of this battle can the people of Dongliang County have confidence in Dakang. Only by having confidence in the adults can they remember

I remember that I was once a citizen of Dakang."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Three thousand people versus thirty thousand people, this battle is not easy to fight." After all, this is an era dominated by cold weapons. If there are a few rocket launchers, this battle will be much easier. Place them directly in Xiasha Port.

They violently bombarded the Yongshui army who came to attack them, leaving no trace of their corpses.

Yu Tianxing said: "It's not easy to fight, but it doesn't mean you can't fight. Since it's unrealistic to defend the city, we can only fight them in Yongjiang River."

Hu Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "How to fight? Should we use fishing boats to fight them?"

Yu Tianxing nodded and said, "Why not? Sir, please lend me a pen and paper."

Hu Xiaotian asked Liang Dazhuang to get a pen and paper. After Yu Tianxing dipped his pen in the ink, he drew a big river on the paper, and then quickly drew rows of warships. After drawing the warships, Yu Tianxing went to Xiasha

There are small fishing boats painted on the harbor.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Use fishing boats to fight? Once the opponent's warships arrive, they will crush the fishing boats into rubble." He sighed inwardly, how could Yu Tianxing not even think of such basic common sense.

Yu Tianxing said: "The fishing boats are pontoons! The boats are connected with iron cables, and wooden boards are put up on them to facilitate the evacuation of the people in the city."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Abandon the city and leave?"

Yu Tianxing shook his head and said: "Create the illusion of escaping back to Dayong. The floating bridge can block the way of the Dayong navy."

Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but think of the Burning Battalion in the Battle of Chibi, and whispered: "Do you want to use fire to attack?"

Yu Tianxing smiled and said: "That's right!"

Hu Xiaotian said: "It's not very realistic. Even if these fishing boats are set on fire, their warships may not be burned, and it is impossible to cause them too much damage."

Yu Tianxing said: "The pontoon bridges formed by fishing boats are only for blocking. We used fishing boats and iron chains to build three pontoon bridges on the narrow surface of the Yongjiang River. We should be able to complete them all in nine days. After completing the first pontoon bridge,

We can command the people to evacuate, creating the illusion that we are abandoning the city. When the Dayong Navy arrives, they will be blocked by these three pontoon bridges. We can then send troops to outflank them upstream and let the burning fishing boats and pontoons

As the platoon moves down the river, the fire will definitely damage the Dayong warships due to the wind. After the Dayong navy encounters a surprise attack, they will forcefully break through the pontoon bridge. The big ship has a deep draft. We can arrange iron hooks under the pontoon bridge. If they forcefully collide,

They will only suffer more serious injuries. After these soldiers fall into the water, many of them will rush to the river bank. At that time, the people we have evacuated to both sides of the river can take the opportunity to capture them all."

When Hu Xiaotian heard this, his eyes lit up. Yu Tianxing was really powerful. He nodded vigorously and said, "Okay! If we can retreat Yong's army this time, I will give you credit."

Yu Tianxing shook his head and said: "I don't want any credit, I just want you to promise me one thing, let all the refugees settle in the city, and we will be treated equally from now on!"

Hu Xiaotian stared at Yu Tianxing's eyes, nodded vigorously and said: "But I also have a condition. From today on, you will stay by my side. Can you be my military advisor?"
