The smell of fishy blood filled the air, making people feel a little uncomfortable, but Yuwen Wen enjoyed this smell very much. It was not that he was cruel and bloodthirsty and easy to kill, but that this smell could remind himself at all times that if he lost a battle, he would die, and even the whole family.

Of course, women can avoid death. According to the common rules of most eras, they will be treated as rewards to others. As for males, all adults will be killed. If young people can survive, they will probably be castrated.

My feet were slightly slippery, and when I looked down, I saw that there was a pool of bloody under my feet on the steps. I didn’t know whether it was the intestines or internal organs. Of course, it might be the ‘pig pioneer’, but it was more likely to be the human.

It is unknown whether it is the enemy or me. The blood-stained steps have sprinkled too many people's blood. Whether it is the Zhou Bing who attacked or the Chen Bing who defended the dead, the living lives before the battle have now turned into cold statistics.

"King, our army has taken Cai Shan, the preliminary number of casualties has been counted..."

Yuwen Wen made a gesture and interrupted the other party's report: "How many is the casualty rate of first login?"

"Sixty percent."

"Have the body been restrained?"

"I've restrained myself, but some people...uh, they're so bad, so I can only put them in bags..."

"Particle the list and send it back to Xiyang together with the remains."

"yes!"

A 60% death rate was enough to collapse an army in the era of cold weapons. Now this death rate does collapse an army, but it was the Zhou army with more than half of the casualties that led to the collapse of Cai Shan's Chen Guards.

If each person dies first, he will receive a triple pension if he dies, and his family will receive land compensation. If the person is not dead but is seriously disabled, the pension will not double, but he can receive land compensation.

Others who have first won the prize, and the rewards for merits are doubled. As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Yuwen Wen exchanged the rewards for the bloody battles of the first to win the victory of the attack on Cai Shan.

Stopped, looked at the mess all over the ground, and looked at the ruins surrounding him with smoke. Yuwen Wen turned around and looked east. The shadows of sails on the river gradually faded away. They were countless retreating Chen's naval warships.

Cai Shan changed hands, and the Chen State defenders could not withstand the body and could only leave a body to retreat in a hurry. Without the support of Jiangxinzhou where Cai Shan was located, the Chen State naval army had no chance of winning the battle in the Caishan waters, so they retreated without hesitation.

At the end of the battle, the navy of both sides suffered little losses and was not damaged. Chen's defenders on Caishan suffered heavy casualties and lost this Jiangxinzhou. After Caishan changed hands, they had a crucial impact on the subsequent battle situation.

Caishan is located in Jiangxinzhou, and the waterway is only more than fifty miles away from the downstream Jiangzhou Prefecture Zhuangkou. Zhou State can be used as a mooring place for naval warships. After gathering troops, a wave of water will come.

More importantly, the north and south river banks of the Caishan waters are all controlled by the State of Chen, especially the north bank, Xincai City, which is an important Jinkou of Jinzhou, Chen. Without Xincai, the connection between Jinzhou and Jiangnan was interrupted.

A ding-and-dang sound came from all around. It was the craftsmen repairing the camps on the mountain. As the dormitory where Zhou soldiers were stationed, the more and more square boats at the foot of the mountain gathered, surrounding Jiangxinzhou where Cai Shan was like duckweed.

The combination of large ships into a "floating island" made Jiangxinzhou, which originally had a not-so-large area, grow into a large island. On this large island, there are both docks, dormitories, baggage warehouses, and even stables.

The wooden stakes that drilled into the silt at the bottom of the water ensured the stability of the floating island. Soldiers who were not accustomed to water had no difference between standing on the floating island and standing on the flat ground. The idea of ​​transcending the times made Caishan in the Yangtze River become the base camp for the Lingnan Road march.

Marshal Yu Wenwen will command the next series of combat operations here, and it will also be a transit station for various supplies such as food and grass. The reason why all "reconstruction" work began just after the battle was because these were planned in advance.

Countless wooden boxes were carried off the ship by the soldiers and transported up the mountain one by one. They were made of pre-prepared supplies, and all the necessary items for building the barracks, including wood, were all equipped.

Back then, the government was able to quickly resettle immigrants in Ezhou, relying on the "resettlement box". Now, this method of packing materials in a unified manner greatly facilitated the work of craftsmen to "rebuild" Caishan Camp.

Cai Shan was not high, so Yuwen Wen quickly came to the middle of the mountain and walked into the newly established central army tent. The main assistants of the marshal were already included. After everyone saluted Yuwen Wen, the military discussion began immediately.

Marshal Chief Scholar Choi Danah and Marshal Sima Cui Hongsheng were very satisfied with the results of today's battle. They did not know much about water wars, but the way they attacked Cai Shan was so special, which was indeed eye-opening.

"Our army actually has such a tower ship. I really admire it." Cui Dana sighed sincerely. The tactics proposed by Yuwen Wen were too incredible. He was always worried that the official army would hit the head and run out of blood under Cai Shan.

"Changshi Cui, I said before that we should have confidence in the Huangzhou navy. After all, the soldiers have not been idle in the past few years. Cai Shan's terrain is not a secret, but Chen Jun was stupid. I didn't expect our army to start attacking from the top."

Yuwen Wen and Cui Dana talked, while Cui Hongsheng looked at the map. This map was drawn from Caishan and its northern and southern river banks, which just covered the next combat area of ​​the Zhou army.

"Master, can Xin Cai really win it within a few days?"

"Of course, although I don't plan to use the Sky Thunder too much, it's enough to deal with the mere Xincai."

Seeing Yuwen Wen so confident, Cui Hongsheng would not believe that Yuwen Wen had formulated a plan to attack Cai Shan and Xin Cai at the same time at the same time, which was actually very risky. Once Cai Shan could not be defeated, the Zhou army would suffer heavy casualties.

Now that Zhou Jun did take Cai Shan, he had to look at Yuwen Wen differently.

Cui Hongsheng is over thirty years old this year. As a senior who has been fighting on the battlefield for more than 20 years, the young Yuwen Wen is like his junior. Cui Hongsheng is naturally a little worried about this bold "stupid young man".

He gave up the Chen army stronghold along the way and assembled a large-scale fleet. Even the main troops were shipped with the main forces of the navy and dispatched together with the main forces of the navy. He raided Jiangxinzhou, which was heavily guarded more than 100 miles away. Once the navy was defeated, it was hard to say how many people could run back.

If the Huangzhou army had not been the troops under Yuwen Wen's command, Cui Hongsheng had reason to suspect that it was the other party's intentional way of eliminating dissidents. But even if Yuwen Wen would not deliberately harm the official army, he still believed that this tactic was a big bet.

But now when he thinks about it, he feels that Yuwen Wen dares to fight like this because he is confident. Just the idea of ​​attacking Cai Shan from the top requires a special building ship to support it, and this kind of building ship is not a temporary rush.

Yuwen Wen has been in Huangzhou for so many years and is well aware of the situation in the Jiangzhou area of ​​Chen Kingdom, so it is nothing strange that he has formulated a targeted combat plan. Thinking of this, Cui Hongsheng couldn't help but look forward to it.

I think if the King of Xiyang will probably have the confidence to win if he attacks Jiangzhou in the future?

"Cui Sima."

"The subordinate official obeys the order."

"General Shi and General Fan have already reached the north of the Yangtze River. It is just around the corner to capture Xincai. At that time, the attack on Jinzhou and other related military affairs will be dispatched by Cui Sima."

"The officials will receive the order."

As soon as Cai Shan was captured, the assistants had a lot of things to do. Yuwen Wen transferred out of the tent and took out a thousand-mile mirror to look at Xincai City next to the river bank to the north.

A few years ago, Yuwen Wen led his troops to attack Xincai, burning the food in the Chen army, and even meeting the Sui army, who also came to attack. Now he is about to "revisit the old place". After taking it down, he does not intend to spit out the place.

As the marshal of the Lingnan Road, one of his tasks was to attack Chenguozhou County east of Qizhou and the southeastern foot of the Dabie Mountains. After taking Jinzhou, he could march in the northeast direction and threaten Hezhou Prefecture's rule of Ruyin (Hefei) from the flanks.

So he had to take down Jinzhou, but the Jinzhou defenders of Chen State must have resisted stubbornly, so in order to achieve this strategic goal with 'fast, accurate and ruthless', Yuwen Wen had a wave of navy troops.

From Qikou to Caishan, there is nearly 160 miles of waterway. The key points along the north and south river banks are guarded by Chen Jun. If these nails are pulled out one by one by one by one in the form of Battle 6, it will take time and effort.

Faced with the heavily guarded defense line, the best way is not to attack but to go around. Yuwen Wen gathered the water and the main forces of 6 together, went downstream and directly attacked 160 miles, seized Cai Shan in the form of 6 battles, and directly tore a big mouth into Chen Jun's defense line.

The Caishan River will be an important area, and General Chen State would not have thought of this, so he gathered the main force of the navy to station in Caishan to avoid the attack of Xincai, Jiangbei, being taken by the Zhou army on the water route and landed on the riverside after the attack.

By the way, the Zhou navy retreated due to the difficulties. He felt that he was not sure to attack Caishan to control the river. He could only go 6 routes to attack Chen's army's various fortresses in Jiangbei, thereby achieving the goal of blocking the Zhou army's advance in Huangzhou.

This is a normal decision and a line of defense that the Zhou army needs to rack their brains to resolve. However, after the opponent gathered the main force of the navy, and pulled up two iron chains from north to south, the north and south, which exposed its fierce and cowardly nature.

Whether it is naval or navy, warships are used to attack!

The terrain of Caishan has been clearly understood by Zhou army's careful work, so Yuwen Wen was whimsical and designed a three-body tower ship, erecting thick and high ladders on the ship, allowing the first-climbing people to directly attack the top of Caishan Mountain and break through the bottom-up "three-dimensional defense line" of Caishan defenders from the bottom.

The military strategy says: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Yuwen Wen is very familiar with the situation of his own side and the enemy, so he dares to have confidence to make a wave of things happen.

In the view of the Qianli Mile Mile, the 6 villages outside Xincai City were vaguely seen replacing the Chen army flag. Yuwen Wen was very satisfied with the progress of the battle of the six soldiers.
