Chapter 2058 Change the deployment overnight
Zhang Yun was still stunned, and Yang Xiu urged: "What are you doing while standing there? Is General Zhang going to wait until the enemy sets fire and can't he do that?"
Cao Shu's order was delivered to Zhang Yun, and he specifically told him to obey Fazheng's arrangements.
Yang Xiu urged, and Zhang Yuncai ordered the guards beside him: "Send the order, all warships line up in a row, and keep twice the distance between each two ships."
The guard ran quickly to pass the order, and not long after, torches lit up on the flagship tower.
The messengers used torches to play flags. When the flags were finished, the navy warships started to move.
Cao Shu attached great importance to the construction of the navy and naval army. Although he had not used it much for so many years, his training of the navy and naval army has never slacked off.
Zhang Yun's order was issued, including the flagship, and all warships started to move.
The navy soldiers were skilled in operating warships. Not long after, all warships faced the other side of the shore with their bows, lined up along the shore, and arranged the formations to fight.
After all the warships were arranged, Zhang Yun asked Fazheng: "Duke Fa, are you still satisfied?"
Standing at the bow of the boat and looking at both sides, Fa Zheng found that the docking position of each warship was not biased or oblique. If the rope was pulled up at the bow of the boat, it would definitely be brushed together, and there would not be even a slight deviation.
"The navy was trained by General Zhang to this point. When the army crossed the river, there was no reason not to defeat the enemy in one battle." Fa Zheng said: "It depends on the navy after breaking through the south bank."
"The navy will first send warships to bombard the other shore. When the place is defeated, the Fagong can order the soldiers to board the warships." Zhang Yun replied: "We can open up roads for the army. Those who really defeat the enemy must be the soldiers of the Fagong."
Fa Zheng nodded and stared at the other side.
He didn't say anything, but the expression on his face was very serious.
"Duke Fa, what's wrong?" Yang Xiu came to him and asked.
"Do you think there is no problem in deploying like this?" Fa Zheng suddenly asked.
Yang Xiu and Zhang Yun looked at each other, and Yang Xiu asked, "What does Fa Gong mean when he asked this?"
"Our army warships line up and the camps on the shore are also deployed in a scattered manner, but I always feel that Zhuge Liang will have a backup plan." Fa Zheng said: "I know Zhuge Liang, although he is more good at internal affairs than military affairs, he is a wise man after all. No matter how bad the military affairs are, it will not be much worse. It is better to be careful."
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, Fa Zheng said to Yang Xiu: "Zu De, you can send all the oil outside the military camp as soon as possible. Never get too close to the military camp."
He then looked at Zhang Yun: "General Zhang, I can only ask you for another thing."
"Mr. Fa is just telling me if you have any orders." Zhang Yun replied: "Mr. I want me to obey the arrangements of Fa Gong in everything. As long as Fa Gong gives orders, I will do everything."
"Our army warships line up, and the barracks on the shore are scattered. Zhuge Liang's fire attack will not work." Fa Zheng said: "He will definitely try his best to cause trouble to the navy. The general must send a small boat to let the soldiers pull up a big net under the small boat. The mesh should be larger so that the fish can swim through it. We will only catch people, not fish!"
"It's such a cold day, would Zhuge Liang send someone to the water?" Zhang Yun looked unbelievable.
"If the two armies have equal strength, of course he will not send people to the water." Fa Zheng replied: "However, our army is much stronger than the enemy. If he does not take the risk of getting the soldiers into the water, he can only allow our army to land on the north shore. You must know that once the army lands, he will never have any chance."
"I understand!" Zhang Yun responded: "Let's arrange the manpower, put down the boat, and patrol every moment."
"I'm going to work hard, General." Fa Zheng warned him, and then greeted Yang Xiu: "Dezu has been busy for the middle of the night, and it's time to go back and rest."
Following Fa Zheng off the warship, Yang Xiu asked: "Duke Fa, is this safe arrangement?"
"The war is not safe." Fa Zheng replied: "Zhuge Liang has not many soldiers and horses. Our army is in Rongcheng. He is already the last battle. How could he not be careful? I asked General Zhang to put down the small boat because I was worried that Zhuge Liang would send people to sneak into the water and sink our warships."
"It is not easy to sink the warship outside," Yang Xiu said, "Donald Fa is too worried?"
"Too worried?" Fa Zheng said: "I still feel that I am not worried enough! The warship is covered with copper, but the bottom of the ship is not. The weakest part of the entire ship is the bottom of the ship, and the copper wrapped on the outside is not very thick. The copper skin is too thin and the bottom of the ship is not covered with copper. The enemy does not have any chance at all. Moreover, the hull is covered with copper, which has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can be stronger, and the disadvantage is that it sinks faster once it leaks!"
"I understand, no wonder Fagong asked General Zhang to send a small boat to patrol along the river. As long as the patrol is done properly, even if the enemy wants to find an opportunity to sink our ships, we will not give them a chance." Yang Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
He seemed to suddenly think of something and asked Fazheng: "Our army has these actions. Can't Zhuge Liang see what he wants to do?"
"It's probably possible to see." Fa Zheng curled his lips: "My purpose is not to trap the enemy in the net. I just want them not to act rashly. When the south wind turns to the north wind, the time for our army to cross the river will come."
"I understand what Fagong meant." Yang Xiuying said: "I will also get everything I should do as soon as possible, and will not give Zhuge Liang any opportunity to take advantage of!"
"There is Lao Dezu!" Fa Zheng bowed to him.
Accompanying Fa Zheng to the outside of the tent, Yang Xiu said to him: "It's not early, and it's not long before dawn. Mr. Fa should rest early."
Fa Zheng changed the naval army's deployment overnight. The Yizhou army on the north bank only heard the sound of water coming from the river, and did not know what was going on.
The sky gradually became brighter, and the Yizhou army discovered that the warships on the river were arranged in a row, with two ships between each ship.
Zhuge Liang is still sleeping.
No one reported to him even if the wind changes in the middle of the night.
He was sleeping sweetly, and he vaguely heard someone talking outside the door.
"Who is outside the door?" Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and asked.
Yang Yi's voice came from the door: "Report to Prime Minister, the wind has changed!"
Hearing that the wind direction had changed, Zhuge Liang quickly sat up and said, "Come in the house and talk!"
When Yang Yi entered the house, Zhuge Liang asked, "What wind is blowing now?"
"Southwest wind." Yang Yi replied.
"It's really God's help!" Zhuge Liang laughed loudly, and he was about to get up as he said.
Yang Yi said later, but it seemed like he poured a basin of cold water on his head: "The wind direction has changed, but Fa Zheng has also made a re-deployment. It is not easy for our army to find an opportunity to set fire."
"What?" Zhuge Liang frowned and asked Yang Yi: "What did Fa Zheng do?"
