v2.Chapter 358 (1/2)
Gu Shubai came to her and saw her sketching a formation on the paper.
This is a strange formation that Gu Shubai seldom sees, but he thought of the answer at the moment when Yu Fu wrote.
”Wild goose formation?”
”Yes.”
The figure shows a type of herringbone formation, with two wings open, with the most forward point as the center, and a backward echelon.
Gu Shubai said: ”the geese formation is used to encircle the circuitous formation. It can be divided into two types, one is in the shape of a regular geese, and the other is in the shape of an inverted geese. This is the shape of a goose, but what does it have to do with sangyi? Our ship is not as big as theirs, and it is not as strong as theirs. Even if it is surrounded by us, it will not hurt their lifeblood. ”
He seldom uses this formation, because of the lack of attack and the weakness of defense, which is far less than the more complex and delicate Xuanxiang formation. It has rich changes and can confuse the enemy.
Yu Fu said with a smile: ”who said we should use this kind of array? Look, does this array look like the arrangement of the sangyi fleet? ”
Gu Shubai pauses, and if you look closely, it turns out to be so.
Last time kunyuyang sent back to Beijing, the military newspaper mentioned that what they robbed were the two big ships at the end of the left wing. By the way, they mentioned the formation of the whole fleet. Unexpectedly, Yufu noticed such small details.
She supported her chin with a pen. ”When I was a child in the immortal Valley, when I saw the geese flying south, it was very strange. I asked my master. He said that geese can save energy by flying like this. If the leading geese flapping their wings, it will cause a cyclone, and the old or young geese behind can easily catch up. By this way, geese fly from far north to south
Gu Shubai thought for a moment, ”in the art of war, the geese formation has no such effect. The reason why we see the geese array is that the arrangement of the figures are roughly similar I've learned that the cyclones caused by geese flying in the sky can also be caused by sea waves, which is different from that on land
”I think so, too.”
Yu Fu raised his pen and drew two circles on the left wing of the herringbone. ”These two ships have been destroyed by Yuyang. If they want to mobilize ships from sangyi, it will take a lot of time. In order to maintain the balance of the formation, they will definitely transfer a boat from the right wing
”But in this way, the whole formation seems to be unchanged, in fact, the wings have shrunk. Just two ships may not feel good, but if we can destroy more of them, we will destroy the formation of the whole fleet and reduce their combat effectiveness. ”
They looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.
Since we can't make the same boat for the time being and we can't keep it, we should destroy it first and delay it for a while.
The battlefield is changing rapidly. As long as they can hold off the other side, they will have a chance to wait for the right time.
Gu Shubai pointed to the gap between the characters and said: ”the biggest weakness of this kind of wild goose formation is that the rear is weak and easy to be attacked. When using it, we must make sure that there are no reinforcements in the rear, otherwise this array will be suicidal. ”
The rear is weak.
Yu Fu stares at the position of his finger, raises his head and says: ”but our troops can protect the people on the shore. It's very hard. How can we go around and attack them?”
”I have a way. It's worth trying.”
The next morning, Yufu was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and her face covered with powder was very bright.
In the morning, he added a fresh air. The officials looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes who was commanding the leader, and their anxious heart gradually settled down.
Yu Fu's lips smile, ”I have a good news to tell you. Kunwu has developed a kind of medicine, which can help us learn the language of sangyi people and infiltrate them to inquire about information. We can also learn their shipbuilding skills, but it will take some time. ”
This is really good news!
”It's wonderful that we don't know anything about the language of the sangyi people, but they know us like the back of their hands! If we can also learn their language, we will know ourselves and the other! ”
”Yes, in the past, even spies could not be inserted. At last, it could change the one-sided situation.”
The ministers responded to Yu Fu's expectation. She took advantage of the situation and said, ”there's one more thing. I want to send envoys to Korea to send a generous gift. Chen Qing will go there in person.”
She looked down at Chen Jingxing, who was slightly stunned.
Courtiers are also puzzled, war stalemate, to care about Korea that barren small country to do?
Chen Jingxing came out and said, ”Your Majesty, Korea has always been a small country affiliated to the great Zhou Dynasty, and has paid tribute in exchange for rewards for living. Different from the sangyi Kingdom, the Korean people are not prosperous, and the land is poor, so there is really no place to see. Why did your majesty send his ministers to Korea at this time? ”
Chen Jingxing, as the Minister of Honglu temple, is a second-class official. It's just that he was sent to the former big powers such as Xikun and Dongling. As a small country affiliated to Korea, why should he go in person?
Yu Fu said with a smile: ”I know how poor Korea is, so I didn't expect them to help us in our war. I just want to use their port to crack the wild goose formation of the sangyi fleet. ”
As soon as the three words of the wild goose formation came out, the generals on the scene almost understood it.This is an extremely simple formation in the art of war. All generals know its arrangement and know that the weakest part of this formation lies in the rear.
If you want to use it, you must ensure that there are no pursuers in your rear.
If you want to crack the opponent's array, the best way is to bypass the rear attack.
Ouyang Qi immediately said, ”does your majesty want to send troops from the port of Koryo to attack the rear of the sangyi fleet?”
”This is the only way at present. I know that our ships are not as good as theirs. Even if we bypass the rear, we may not be able to completely destroy them. But as long as we destroy the formation of the fleet, we can frustrate their spirit, so that the officers and men can have breathing room. Like killing hundreds of fishermen, it can never happen again. ”
The literati didn't know what the geese formation was. Just by looking at the generals' expressions, they knew that it was a good way. Ouyang Qi and Gu Shubai agreed, but naturally they didn't have any opinions.
The Ministry of rites prepared a big gift. Three days later, Chen Jingxing left for the north.
At the same time, the war in the coastal city has not stopped. Most of the manpower and material resources in the court are almost exhausted by the Ministry of work and the Ministry of arms. Boxes of artillery are pulled out from the artillery workshop and sent to the East carefully.
The shipyard is still working day and night. The craftsmen try their best to improve the ships that are more suitable for combat. At the same time, they continue to study some unclear drawings from sangyi people, trying to find some clues.
The money from the national treasury flows out like water, forging guns, manufacturing ships, providing for the dead soldiers and families of the people, and allocating funds to enable the fishermen who are unable to go fishing because of the war to make a living
If the war goes on, internal friction will never stop.
Although Yu Fu perked up, people were still worried about her depression, so they often invited her out of the palace to play.
When she went to Gu's house, she could forget the affairs of the imperial court for a while. In addition to Yuan Zhang's lovely baby, and Ning'an and ning'ping, who were fostered by Kun Yuyang in Gu's house, the children were enough to make her think of nothing else.
Gu huaijiang is old and likes his children and grandchildren around the knee most. Ning'an and Ning Ping are Yufu's adopted sons. They are half of his grandchildren, so he likes them.
”Ganniang, who do you think I am?”
”Who am I, ganniang?”
Ning'an and Ning Ping like to play this game most. They are twins. People who care for their families can't tell who they are. They make a lot of jokes.
Gu huaijiang sat in the pavilion and watched them play. ”When I was a child, Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were the same. Relying on the fact that the two brothers look the same, they like to pretend to cheat each other. ”
Now there are two more twins in Gu's family. When he looks at them, he will think of Gu Xiang and Gu Yi.
Gu Xiang and Gu Yi sat drinking tea. When they heard Gu huaijiang's words, they could not help blushing, ”how can we have them so naive?”
Yu Fu looked at them and said, ”as a witness, my father didn't lie. When I first came to Gu Hou's house, didn't you often cheat me like this? Fortunately, I'm smart. I've never been cheated by you. ”
Su Yunyan listened to Yu Fu's words and put down his tea cup with a guilty heart.
When Yu Fugang arrived at Gu Hou's house, she could tell Gu Xiang from Gu Yi. Since she was a child, she used to be with Gu Xiang and Gu Yi. She couldn't tell who they were until she got married.
Doesn't that make her stupid?
Ning'an and ning'ping are still in front of Yu Fu. Yu Fu only takes a look and nods the left child's head. ”You are Ning'an.”
He nodded the child's head on the right, ”you are Ningping.”
”Guess wrong, ganniang guess wrong!”
