Chapter 104: The Battle of Lujiang

Guangling, Dongling Pavilion.

"How can the army cross the river without ships?" Xu Huang looked at Zhang Ran with half-white hair. Obviously, Zhang Ran was not relaxed during this period. Although he couldn't bear it, the problem must be faced. After all, the number of flying boats is limited, and the surprise attack is effective, but it is not possible to pull 280,000 people over. In fact, these hundred flying boats can carry up to 500 people. This is a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses planned to cross the river this time. Five hundred and five hundred crossings, even if the flying boats are very fast, what year will it take?

"General Gongming, it's not unwilling. In fact, since General Wenyuan stationed his troops, he has wanted to set up a water camp to build ships several times, but how can Jiangdong give in?" Zhang Ran said with a depressed look: "They have been sending troops to patrol this area. When they see us erecting a water camp, they will attack. Our soldiers are not familiar with water battles, so they can only watch them burn the water camp they just established. General Wenyuan said: Guangling, a soldier who is good at water battles, can not recruit our army, but our army has not. They have fought several times and dare not go into the water."

Zhang Liao has now led his army to Shu County for rescue at the invitation of Liu Xun, and he took Cao Xing and Wei Xu to rescue him, so only Zhang Ran is in charge.

Gao Shun frowned and looked at the Yangtze River on the sand table, silently speaking. Taishici frowned and said, "This big river is more than a thousand miles away? Can't we set up a water village somewhere else?"

Zhang Ran smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that simple. To establish a water village, the water flow must be smooth. Otherwise, if the water is turbulent, it will not be built at all. And even if you can find other places to build a water village to build a ship, the number of ships will be large. At that time, the other party rushed over and had a fire, and the hard work and the money spent for several months would be burned."

Gao Shun pointed to the tributary channel extending to the north in the area of ​​Dongling Pavilion: "Since that's the case, if you build a ship in these small streams, why are you afraid of the attack from Jiangdong?"

"It's built, but they are all small boats, which are not much bigger than these flying boats. One boat can only accommodate three or five people. Now it has only built more than a thousand ships. If you want to build a tower ship, even if it is built, it will be difficult to pass through some narrow rivers, and it will block the river channel." Zhang Ran shook his head and said. He and Zhang Liao had studied here for half a year. They had never thought about these problems, but could not do it.

"Thousands of ships are actually enough." Zhao Yun looked at everyone and said, "Although our army has few ships, there are many ships on the other side. In the past few days, we sent flying boats to find out where the ships on the other side are located. When the war comes, we will lead 400 elite troops to occupy a large number of ships on the other side first, and then use Jiangdong ships to cross our army across the river. What do you think?"

If it is an ordinary elite, even if it is 400 people in the camp, it will be difficult for them to capture a port with strict defense. However, what they brought this time is not an ordinary elite, but a strong elite with well-trained cooperation, tacit cooperation and combat power is close to the limit of the human body, and it is also a way of playing from the sky. If this situation fails to attack, it is a problem for the general.

"I am the vanguard of this battle!" Xu Huang looked at Gao Shun and Taishi Ci, and took some questions. After all, Zhao Yun had a task and would go to meet with Zhang Liao soon. The three of them were responsible for the main attack on Jiangdong. After all, Xu Huang was a newcomer. Although he had great achievements, he had not yet achieved outstanding results. He could be ranked alongside Gao Shun, Taishi Ci, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao and others who had been through battle under Lu Bu. It would inevitably make people feel dissatisfied. This battle was also a battle for him to establish his authority!

"I'll have to work hard for Gongming. I'll wait for news from Wenyuan to get out. Gongming sets off after nightfall. After capturing the port, he will send soldiers familiar with water to cross the river to drive the boat. At the same time, it will be considered as adding reinforcements. Gongming only needs to guard the port well at that time." Gao Shun nodded and said.

"But martial law is required in the area of ​​Donglingting Pavilion these days, and no one is allowed to enter and exit, so as not to come and find out the truth." Taishi Ci said in contemplation.

"Thank you." Xu Huang knew that Gao Shun and Taishi Ci asked their head skills to him. He was grateful and clasped their fists at the two of them.

"Don't worry, Guangling had already begun martial law when Mr. Gongtai was about to transfer the troops to Guangling." Zhang Ran said with a smile.

Although this move inevitably makes the enemy suspicious, it is better than being able to see through the reality of the enemy. Otherwise, if Lu Bu was so clear about the civilians, he would actually transfer various troops to Guangling by Jiangdong, if Jiangdong learned about Jiang Ce's courage to attack Shuxian?

Lu Bu's annexation of Jiangdong this time has been preparing for several months. The confidence to swallow Jiangdong is not the more than 200,000 troops, but the four generals Zhao Yun and the five thousand elites who came out of the Chen Tower. These are the confidence that Lu Bu has the confidence to sweep Jiangdong in a short period of time.

Of course, the most important thing is whether Jiangdong has the blessing of gods and Buddhas, and whether Yu Ji will take action to stop him?

In fact, so far, the conflict between Lu Bu and Sun Ce is not big, and even close contact is something that happened this year. In the past, the conflict between Sun Ce and Xuzhou was carried by the Chen family, but every man was innocent and guilty of being a treasure. Now Lu Bu urgently needs to expand his territory and have a stable rear. Jiangdong, which has just been washed away by Sun Ce, is the most suitable in terms of terrain and people's hearts.

With Jiangdong, Lu Bu's foundation can be solid, and he is no longer a jealousy who is caught between the three princes and is trembling and ignorant.

As long as Jiangdong is taken down, Lu Bu will send the emperor to Jiangdong. It is obviously safer than Xuzhou. Lu Bu can be less restrictive in Xuzhou. After all, now, even if Liu Xie never entrusts Lu Bu to do anything, as long as Liu Xie is here, it will be a kind of suppression of Lu Bu.

In addition, there was King Chen Liu Chong who wanted to seize power from him at that time. Lu Bu really didn't want to face the encirclement and suppression of gods and Buddhas and princes, while facing the pig teammates behind him.

Therefore, Jiangdong is a place where Lu Bu must win, and the Sun family... Sun Ce is a little coveted. If he can accept it, it will be the best. He can also get a free time for Zhou Yu.

Guangling has already begun to make the final arrangements for the strategy of Jiangdong, but Sun Ce on Lujiang is quite energetic.

After another round of fierce attack failed to capture Wan County, the sound of gold from the Jiangdong Army finally sounded. Looking at the Jiangdong Army retreating like a tide, Liu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that with his own strength, he could still deal with Sun Ce. Who would have thought that Sun Ce was so fierce. He fought three times, whether on the riverside or on the shore, and had to win three battles and three defeats. He had no choice but to shrink his troops and defend the last Wan County.

Now Liu Xun has no hope of repelling Sun Ce. He now only wants to defend Wan County and wait for Zhang Liao's rescue. When Sun Ce arrived, he had already received news that Zhang Liao had already led his army to support him. However, the Lujiang River is easy to walk on, but the land route is winding and eleven turns, and he has to cross Jiujiang in the middle.

"Have the Zhang Liao reinforcements not arrived yet?" Seeing that the Jiangdong Army had withdrawn its troops and returned to the camp, Liu Xun finally drilled his head out from behind the female wall. After taking a deep breath, he looked at the teeth generals beside him and said.

"General, when we received the last message, General Zhang Liao was still in Hefei. According to the itinerary, even if we can travel a hundred miles a day, we will have to arrive in Wan County the day after tomorrow. Moreover, General Zhang personally led a large army to come. How could the Jiangdong Army not know the news? We will definitely send troops to intercept it." A general smiled bitterly.

"Oh~" Liu Xun sighed when he heard this.

"Why do you sigh? It's been the same for a few days. Now that Yuan Shu is in a dilemma, who belongs to Lujiang in the end is between Lu Bu and Sun Ce. Let's see who wins and loses from his two families. It's actually not much to do with us." Just when Liu Xun was frowning, he saw about 140 or so military generals coming to his side, his decadent look made him look full of dusk aura.

"You are so light. If Wan County was destroyed before Zhang Liao arrived, would I surrender?" Liu Xun glanced at his friend, shook his head and sighed. This person was Qiao Rui, a general under Yuan Shu. Seeing that Yuan Shu was in a dilemma, he pretended to die and fled back. Unlike Liu Xun who was optimistic about Lu Bu, Qiao Rui was more optimistic about Sun Ce.

"Although Lu Bu is strong, he is surrounded by enemies on three sides. Xuzhou is flat. Why do you look down on him so much?" Qiao Rui looked at Liu Xun with confusion. As a general under Yuan Shu, he was captured by Lu Bu once and later released, but he still had some shadow on Lu Bu.

"In the past, Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to defeat Yuan Shu and surrender Zhang Xiu, and was surrounded by enemies on all sides. Now, the situation of Wen Hou is similar to Cao Cao in the past? Besides, I have seen Wen Hou's ability. Although Sun Ce's son is brave, do you really think he can fight against Wen Hou?" Liu Xun asked back.

"Maybe." Qiao Rui did not argue again: "But if Sun Ce really breaks the city, he should surrender. Even if Sun Ce is defeated in the end, Zhang Liao will not be able to rescue him. We have been guarding until the end, so we can't let the city die together."

Liu Xun nodded. If things were not done, he would definitely not fight here to death. There is no need. After all, this belongs to anyone. Although he is more inclined to Lu Bu, he will not pay his life for it. It is not embarrassing to hold on to the end of the city and surrender. Even if Lu Bu conquers Jiangdong in the end, he cannot cause trouble for Liu Xun because of this. Otherwise, who would dare to surrender in the future?

Under the setting rainbow, in the Jiangdong Army camp, Sun Ce was quite helpless looking at the tall city walls of Wan County. The road was unstoppable and was eventually blocked by this strong city. This made Sun Ce very unhappy. Liu Xun's ability was just that. If it weren't for this strong city, he wouldn't have been able to defend it. It was this strong city that saved his life.

"Bo Fu." Zhou Yu quickly came in with a scout and said to Sun Ce: "Just just now, the scout from Hefei direction came to news that Zhang Liao marched overnight and is now almost at Juchao."

"So fast?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Zhang Liao's speed was a bit amazing.

"It seems not easy to break through Wan County before Zhang Liao came here." Zhou Yu frowned. Liu Xun's method of defending the city was not novel, but it was difficult to attack the city. Moreover, the opponent is obviously sufficiently strong now, but Zhou Yu used the trick, and the other party had no intention of taking action. It was obviously a decision to wait for rescue, which was a bit difficult to deal with.

"Then let's fight back Zhang Liao first, see if Liu Xun surrenders, he won't surrender!" Sun Ce punched the table and snorted coldly.

"Okay!"
