Chapter 77 Suspicion
After all, it was a war, and as for war, it would be much faster than a step faster, so Chu Yu and others gave up the carriage and drove slowly, and took Chu Qingxue and Mo Jiu three fast horses all the way.
For Mo Jiu, who had never practiced, although the bumps were a bit uncomfortable, she was actually a little happy inside.
It’s not that she doesn’t like Tiandu City, but that the Chu family’s house collapsed halfway when she fought against the advanced demon last time. Even Zhou Hao asked someone to repair it in a few days. You can’t always stay in other people’s houses, and Mo Jiu has a strange feeling.
She felt that Chu Yu didn't seem to like Tiandu City, because when he was in Tiandu City, he seemed to be always tense, just like a rubber band that extended to the limit, and might break at any time.
The master once said that women have a very good intuition in certain things, and Mo Jiu didn't know whether he was a woman or not. Is this intuition useful? But when Chu Yu stepped out of Tiandu City, he was sure, because he seemed so energetic when riding on a war horse.
"At our speed, we will arrive at Duyuanqu Pier in half an hour. This time we will take a boat." Chu Yu said without looking back.
Chu Qingxue was a little surprised, "Why do you walk on the waterway? Taking a boat will waste time!"
The last time they came to Tiandu City, they took the water route, but that time they were chased and killed. This time they were anxious to deploy a battle, so why did they still have to take a boat?
"We will go out to the sea along Duyuan Canal first. I will inspect the coastal defense."
Chu Yu's answer was very concise, but it revealed a message: inspecting the coastal defense? Is it different to patrol the coastal defense after arriving in Dingyuan City? The same, but this time, the focus of patrolling the coastal defense can only be said that Chu Yu seemed determined to set the location of the battle at the sea!
Judging from the previous situation of the Zhenyuan City Battle, this does not seem to be a good idea. You should know that the enemy has armor to help, and the overall average strength is at least one or two levels higher than that of the Dingyuan Guard. In this case, unless you win by surprise, no matter where the hard steel on the front of the army is spread, you will hit the stone with eggs!
Chu Yu shouldn't be that stupid, right?
Chu Qingxue couldn't figure it out, but Mo Jiu didn't care at all. He turned his head and looked into the woods behind the left. Old Zombie's figure flashed from time to time. This was telling her that Old Zombie had been following him and could not be lost!
"Brother, when will the army mobilized by the emperor arrive in Dingyuan City?" Chu Qingxue asked.
"Zhou Hao has already moved his troops with my tiger talisman. If there is no problem with the war horse, he should arrive with us!"
"Hmm? The war horses arrived back and forth? Brother, are you kidding? He actually... transferred cavalry to fight a naval battle!" Chu Qingxue tightened his hands and almost stopped Mali.
Chu Yu glanced back at his sister and smiled, "You don't have to worry about tactical issues. Have you made all the things I asked you to do?"
Chu Qingxue pursed her lips. She had not learned tactics from her father Chu Chan because she wanted to get married, but after all, she was the leader of the general and could understand a lot. Haha, cavalry was used in the battle of sea defense? What was this? But seeing Chu Yu's expression clearly had a decision, and he replied helplessly: "It's not that simple, let alone the number you want is so large!"
Chu Yu shook his head but a sense of excitement revealed in his eyes, "I was worried about where to use gunpowder, but I didn't expect that you would break through the fourth ring at this critical moment, but God is helping our Chu family!"
"Ha?"
Chu Qingxue's cute expression made Chu Yu amuse him. The latter laughed and shook the whip faster. The three of them kept accelerating, a quarter of an hour earlier than expected, and almost exhausted the horse.
The ships on the dock were ready, and the old Zombie appeared behind Mo Jiu in a flash. The Chu brother and sister glanced at him without caring. In the eyes of outsiders, Lao Zombie was the bodyguard that Mo Qi found for Mo Jiu, but Lao Zombie himself knew that Mo Jiu didn't need him to protect him at all. He was just taking care of Mo Jiu's food and clothing and daily life.
Haha, it’s weird to say it. This real young master and lady didn’t bring a servant who specializes in serving her. You little maid who doesn’t do anything every day has an exclusive servant. If you say it, you may laugh out loud. Well, you may lose your teeth if you laugh at him.
...
There is no airtight wall in this world. As soon as Chu Yu left, all the spies in Tiandu City had already set off. Almost not long after, they discovered Chu Yu's route of action.
Of course, most of these spies are powers of the Flower Kingdom. They hope to win this battle, so they just know that they will not betray anything.
But no matter how strong the fortress is, there must be some problems inside. Among these spies, there are many spies from Heguo and Dalie Kingdom. If the two sides fought in the past, they would probably take the opportunity to intercept Chu Yu and others halfway.
But this time it was different. When Dalio Se, the commander of the Navy of Dali Kingdom, learned that the enemy commander was Chu Yu, he consulted Gaya. Gaya was the special envoy from Dali Kingdom to Hua Kingdom, and he had some friendship with the Chu family. Strictly speaking, Chu Heng still owed Gaya favors.
Jiaya himself highly praised the Chu brothers, so he told all the information about Chu Yu that he knew. Originally, in Jiaya's opinion, this was something worthy of attention.
But Daose obviously doesn't think so. Yes, Chu Yu turned the entire Tiandu City upside down with his own strength. This courage and ability are indeed amazing. But Daose believes that Chu Yu has a fatal weakness, that is, he has never had the experience of leading the army in war!
Don’t underestimate this experience. The more people there are, the harder it will be to mobilize. Especially on the battlefield, one link after another. Any problem in any small link may lead to the inability to issue the order in time. As the coach, you must figure out where the problem occurs at the first time, and promptly remediate it to make a response strategy. This requires a lot of experience to accumulate.
Even if Chu Yu was influenced by him since he was a child, he would not be able to master these things for the first time on the battlefield. So all Chu Yu could do was think about some tricks. However, most of the strategies that people without combat experience thought about were from the perspective of a perfect environment. Such tricks might be useful, but their flaws were more.
Therefore, after judgment, Daose believed that Chu Yu's existence might be more beneficial to the Dalie Kingdom, so he ordered all spies lurking in Hua Kingdom to take action.
This judgment cannot be said to be wrong, but once this judgment is made, the focus of the spy mission in the Dalie Kingdom will no longer be Chu Yu, but Chu Yu has any wonderful ideas!
This is not only what Daose wants to know, but also what all forces in the Flower Country want to know.
Therefore, when Zhou Hao took the tiger talisman to order the soldiers, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The tiger talisman is a token given by the emperor to Chu Yu to mobilize troops. Seeing the tiger talisman is equivalent to seeing the imperial edict, so the army that was named after the name was not hesitated at all. After all, although the prosperity of the Hua Kingdom was a bit false, the pride of the people of the Hua Kingdom was still there, and a defeat did not defeat them. No matter whether it was old or weak or sick, as long as you said you wanted to charge for the Hua Kingdom, they would carry the swords and guns and follow you.
But this time everyone was a little confused. What was going on? Why were the mobilized... all cavalrymen!
What are cavalry used for? High mobility, formation-breaking charge, shuttle guerrilla, etc., but no matter what the purpose is, you always have a place to run horses. Those are war horses and do not have the ability to float on the water. What do you let these cavalry do in the past? Do you fight on dolphins?
This information quickly reached the emperor's ears. Not only the emperor, but also the civil and military officials in the court, and the civil and military officials in the court knew it, which means that the Dali Kingdom also knew it.
People were also thinking about what Chu Yu wanted to do when he was a headache. In their minds, Chu Yu was definitely at the level of the dragon and phoenix among people. In this case, he should also know that the cavalry is not suitable for sea defense warfare. Is there another trick?
This doubt will be answered in two days.
In the Temple of War God, Zhou Hao came here to call the generals with the emperor's imperial edict. Just as the emperor was worried before, the Dalie Kingdom must attach great importance to this attack, and there will never be few masters in the team. Although it is not necessary to send experts above the Sixth Ring Road to participate, in order to deal with it, the Temple of War God cannot stay out of the matter.
The emperor's original intention was to allow the masters of the God of War to offset the advantages of the masters of the Dalie Kingdom, but it seemed that Chu Yu didn't want to use it like this.
"Ahhhhhhhhh! Are these people Chu Yu wants to mobilize?"
"Sir, that's all."
Yao Lu casually pulled a general from a temple of War and pointed at the soldiers who had lined up to set off and asked.
Although Yao Lu is a little cowardly, he is still quite well-organized in his work and is more experienced in fighting, otherwise he would not have achieved the strength of the Eighth Ring Road.
As the inner corner of the Flower Kingdom, the Temple of War God has had such a situation of targeting troops before, but this has never happened.
The pointing of soldiers was just to mobilize those soldiers who met the standards, but never said that they would bring the roster to name one by one! Is this a targeted intention?
Yao Lu knew that these soldiers in the War God Temple on the Fourth Ring and Fifth Ring were of different powers, but they all had one common characteristic, that is, they all practiced ice-attributed martial arts. Thinking of the previous mobilization of cavalry... Did Chu Yu want to freeze the sea surface and forcefully create a charging environment for the cavalry?
The cavalry actually has a certain degree of restraint against infantry. If it is on land, the infantry can also use counterattacks or spear formations to resist. However, the people from the Dali Kingdom are all navy, so they will definitely not bring weapons such as spears.
Is Chu Yu trying to use the advantage of military restraint to narrow the gap in equipment between the two sides?
I have to say, this sounds quite reliable, is it that simple?
Yao Lu didn't know, the emperor didn't know, the civil and military officials didn't know, and the Dali Kingdom didn't know, but this method sounded like it was really a big deal.
...
At the same time, Chu Yu, who had already entered the sea, came to the edge of the ship, reached out to suck out a piece of sea water, then looked at the sky, and suddenly smiled, "The weather is clear in the next few days, and there is no wind or waves, suitable for fishing!"
