Chapter 376 Attacking Hengjiang(1/2)
Ruxuwu:
The Xiakou Army stationed a marine division here, and together with the soldiers recruited later, there were a total of 30,000 troops.
After receiving the order from the General Staff Headquarters, Lu Su and Zhou Tai rushed back to Ruxuwu Pier overnight and gathered their lieutenants.
Issue orders to dispatch troops.
Zhou Tai and Lu Su waited for a long time before they sent out troops to capture Shouchun, and their hearts were full of fighting spirit.
Lu Su stood in front of the map.
"Everyone, if we want to successfully capture the territory around Shouchun and Ruxuwu, we must first remove the nail in Hengjiang.
There are 30,000 troops and horses under Yu Mi's banner stationed in Hengjiang. Unless these 30,000 troops and horses under Yu Mi's banner are destroyed, once we advance to other places,
The retreat will be attacked by 30,000 troops under Yu Mi’s banner.”
Lu Su said.
In another dimension, Lu Su was the second governor of Soochow, and he was definitely a commander-level leader.
In the novel, Luo Dada described Lu Su as too mentally retarded and purely a good old man.
How is this possible!
You must know that Lu Su took over as the Governor of Soochow on the recommendation of Zhou Yu, a big shot who was so awesome.
Who is Zhou Yu?
He is definitely the most powerful commander in this era. No one could match him during the Three Kingdoms period, even Lao Cao was three points weaker.
Zhou Yu was not only awesome at leading troops in battle, but also was very good at planning. He was one of the six great counselors during the Three Kingdoms period.
Three Strategies in One Step is talking about Zhou Yu.
Of course, in order to set off Brother Zhu's superiority, Luo Dada not only underestimated Lu Su, but also described Zhou Yu as a narrow-minded person.
This is unfair.
There is no such thing as the Three Qi Zhou Yu in history. It is purely a plot fabricated by Luo Dada.
Zhou Yu is jealous of Brother Pig, which is just a fabrication.
Zhou Yu was the Governor of Soochow, equivalent to the current military boss, and he also had Xiao Qiao, a peerless beauty.
How could you be jealous of Brother Pig?
Zhou Yu's name has become famous all over the world, and his abilities have been recognized by people all over the world.
At that time, Brother Zhu was just a newcomer, so why should Zhou Yu be jealous?
Besides, Zhou Yu is no worse than Brother Zhu in terms of using tactics.
Brother Zhu is very powerful in domestic affairs, equivalent to Xiao He in the early Han Dynasty.
Of course, Brother Zhu is also very good in the military and strategic aspects. No one doubts this. He is considered one of the most powerful bosses in the world.
The Battle of Chibi, to put it bluntly, was Zhou Yu's performance, defeating Lao Cao in one fell swoop. At that time, Liu Paopao didn't have many people at his disposal, so it couldn't be of much use.
Instead, Liu Bei took the opportunity to seize Xiangyang City, which was supposed to belong to Soochow.
Will the person Zhou Yu recognizes be a good person?
In terms of ability, although Lu Su is not as good as Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, he is definitely the top commander.
"Commander, just give the order! We have been so idle these past few years that we have long wanted to lead our troops on an expedition."
Li Channel.
"We decided not to give Hengjiang Yumi the opportunity to cut off his retreat, so we dispatched 20,000 troops on land to surround Hengjiang Wharf.
Naval warships attacked the river and destroyed Yu Mi's boats, leaving them unable to escape.
On land, force the opponent to surrender. If they don't surrender, they will be directly annihilated. They will eliminate Hengjiang in one fell swoop, and then drive troops to advance to other areas."
Lu Su said.
"There are 10,000 soldiers and horses left. We can draw 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Chaoxian, Chaoyang, Liyang and other areas, and finally attack Tutang.
After taking Hengjiang, small warships entered from Qu'a on the Yangtze River, advanced all the way into Hongze Lake, and went up the Huaihe River to encircle Shouchun."
Lu Su said.
"Everyone, this battle is our first battle. We cannot underestimate the enemy and must take it seriously. During the battle, the Marine Corps and the Navy worked closely together.
General Wang Kun is in charge of the navy, do you have any other opinions?"
Zhou Taidao.
"As you command!"
"The Marine Division will be dispatched tonight, and the Navy Division will be dispatched tomorrow morning. Together they will attack the Hengjiang River."
Zhou Taidao.
Boom!
The Xiakou army was dispatched.
After resting for several years, the soldiers of the Xiakou Army in Ruxuwu held their breath when they heard that there was an action.
The soldiers were full of fighting spirit and full of energy.
Hengjiang Pier.
In the past few years, Hengjiang's small assault boats have basically not dared to fight against the Xiakou Division. When they saw the Xiakou Division, they would immediately run away.
Where is the Xiakou master?
He didn't pay attention to it, but it was obvious from the soldiers on the Hengjiang assault boat that they were very envious of the Xiakou division's warship.
Things were different during this period. The Yangtze River was blocked by Xiakou Division, and not a single ship was allowed to sail.
The Hengjiang sailors who had just sailed out of the dock suddenly saw five huge warships approaching.
Xia Shui Master!
What's going on?
It seems that the Xiakou master came with bad intentions.
More than a dozen naval assault boats across the river.
"Open fire and sink the Hengjiang assault boat."
Wang Kun ordered.
Boom!
Three hundred steps away, Xiakou Division's five-masted warship opened fire, throwing huge rocks out.
Smashed it down towards the Hengjiang sailor's small assault boat.
Stones filled the sky, and the black spots in the sky gradually enlarged, and finally hit the assault boat.
One round of shooting hit three small assault boats.
The Xiakou division adopted brutal tactics, using catapults to smash the enemy's boats while driving warships to ram them into the opponent's boats.
Boom!
A small assault boat was hit by a five-masted warship and instantly broke into pieces, floating on the river. Many Hengjiang soldiers were struggling in the river.
At this time, the Hengjiang sailor had a confused look on his face.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that Master Xiakou would attack him.
Haven't we always lived in peace?
Why the sudden fire?
When the Hengjiang sailors came to their senses, five five-masted warships of the Xiakou Division rammed into them, sinking the assault boats one after another.
A five-masted warship was left behind to salvage the Hengjiang soldiers who fell into the water and capture them, while the other warships continued to move forward.
The sailors from Hengjiang who were fished out asked: "Why are you attacking us?"
"We, the Xiakou Army, have been ordered to attack Liu Yao in Yangzhou. Who made you lose your sense and work hard for Liu Yao? If you don't attack, who will you attack?"
Wang Kun said.
Half an hour later, Division Xiakou entered the Hengjiang Wharf and saw dozens or hundreds of small wooden boats in the wharf.
"Fire!"
Wang Kun ordered.
The sailors under Yu Mi's banner at Hengjiang Wharf were puzzled when they saw Division Xiakou coming in.
What does Xiakou Master mean?
Why did you come to our dock?
Boom!
