1094 Famous generals who are good at water warfare, in fact, we also have
An eagle spread its wings and soared in the sky. When it flew to the Yangtze River, it looked down like a giant dragon rolling eastward on both sides of the river, connecting water and land into a large military camp, like a city wall.
Below were dense black dots, and the soldiers of the two armies on the shore were lined up, and the Wei army was arranged in an orderly manner. The shore was also covered with flags. Among the various warships, there were huge castles moving on the river surface, and the tower ships that could accommodate eight or nine hundred people. The land army formation was huge, and the water ships were connected by meter. Before the battle had occurred, a solemn aura enveloped the river surface.
Suddenly, the drums were loud, and a murderous aura seemed to rise from the Wei army's village. The eagle flying in the sky suddenly let out a clear roar, flapping its wings, and instantly glided past the water village. It seemed that the mighty and murderous aura that spread in the army also shocked it to fly higher, and it was unwilling to stay here for a long time.
Located at the bow of a giant ship, Chai Zai stood proudly with his arms held back. A gust of river wind blew, swaying the cloak behind him, and the big flag behind him fluttered, making a sound... Chai Zai couldn't help but narrow his eyes, then stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said in a long voice:
"What has really been southeastern winds these two days? This is so evil... Wu people are good at water and have the advantage of the territory when fighting on the Yangtze River. Now the wind direction is beneficial to the weather. So what strategy will the Wu army plan to use? It should be expected..."
In the Yangtze River war, the attacking state was the Wei Kingdom in the north and the defending state was the Wu Kingdom in the south. The war is imminent, and the southeast wind is blowing. The many similarities make people think of the classic battle in ancient times when the few defeated the more... There were even some generals in the Wei Dynasty's army saying that something was unlucky, and something abnormal would happen. With many coincidences, it is inevitable that people think of this as a sign that the generals of the Wei Dynasty's army returned to a defeat?
Although this matter is evil, Chai Zaiyong is a person who does not believe in evil. Most of his life in military life, he knew very well that he was the life of leading troops to fight. And the war that was about to start with the Wu navy on the Yangtze River, Chai Zai thought it might be the highest time for his life... How could he be afraid of the war without fighting because of some coincidental factors?
Many robes, who were also founding generals of the Wei Dynasty, died one after another. I heard that Ge Congzhou retired and retired, so Chai Zaiyong even sighed... After all, he was in his fifties and would be sixty years old in a few years. Chai Zaiyong knew that as he grew older, many things would gradually become powerless in the future. Of course, he must firmly grasp the opportunity to establish a great achievement.
What makes Chai Zaiyeng happy is that his son Chai Kehong has now joined the army. Although he is taciturn and does not care about making achievements... But after being influenced by the generals, he has been trained and taught since childhood. After Chai Zaiyeng used this as my observation, he knew that Chai Kehong had great military talent... At least if he could achieve great success this time, he would have successors in the future, and Chai would finally be able to be at ease even if he tried his best.
The top priority at the moment is of course to defeat the Wu naval army gathered on the other side of the Yangtze River. However, looking away, I saw the water camps in the distance, and the sails were like clouds, and the ships that were still endless were connected to each other. I could vaguely see countless black dots walking back and forth... After all, the Wu army had a rich experience in water battles than the Wei army, and the soldiers were generally more skillful in water. Now they were ready to fight. How could they be a soft persimmon that was easy to pinch?
Fortunately, our army also has generals familiar with water wars to work together to plan and make arrangements early, so we can probably think of what Wu army plans... Our army's trump card, but the Wu people don't know...
After Chai Zai thought in his heart, he turned around and saw a group of generals wearing helmets and armor standing solemnly, waiting to listen to his handsome orders. Chai Zai used his black face to express his respectable dignity, and suddenly said in a powerful voice:
"Zhang Wu, where is Zhao Tingyin!"
"The last one will be here!"
The two men who were nodded immediately left the line, stood firm, and immediately clasped their fists at Chai again. One of them was seven feet long, with purple-black faces, and the thick beard under his jaw was gray. It seemed that he was very old, but his eyebrows were still full of courage and fierceness. At a glance, he knew that he was not a good dealer; the other was relatively white, but his body was strong and capable, and he was obviously a warrior who had been in the army for a long time.
The man called Zhang Wu was originally a ferryman from Shijing County, Hezhou, Sichuan and Chongqing (now Hechuan District, Chongqing). However, he was brave and brave, and even the surrounding thieves and water bandits were very afraid of... Since he was a native of Bashu, he naturally joined Wang Jian at first, and served as the Polangdu Head and Feizhao Commander, and was specialized in the navy.
Zhang Wu, who was following the historical record, was originally the victim of Nanping. The first time it was to burn ships with fire, causing more than half of the Nanping Army that invaded the Badong territory to be damaged. Less than a few years later, the Later Tang launched the war to destroy Shu. Nanping took the opportunity to launch troops to invade. As a result, Zhang Wu used an iron rope to cross the river and attacked the river again, which caused the enemy to burn and drown. Many people killed tens of thousands of Nanping Army with less than 10,000 people. Zhang Wu became famous and let the world know how great his ability to fight water.
However, when the Former Shu regime was destroyed, Zhang Wu took several states to surrender to the Central Plains Dynasty. However, in the official history, he surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty, and now he is the Wei Dynasty... As a surrendered minister in the left-behind place, when Li Tianqu learned where he was taking office, he immediately issued an edict ordering him to go to Huainan to select Feizhao camps, and promised in the handwritten instructions that if he assisted Chai again, An Renyi would be rewarded and rewarded in his southern expedition, and would definitely be bound to his descendants.
After all, according to Li Tianqu’s thoughts, even if Zhang Wu is not a famous general in the world, just talking about the water war, in the Five Dynasties and Later Tang Dynasty, I really couldn’t think of anyone else’s achievements in water war could be compared with him.
As for the military general named Zhao Tingyin, he originally served in the Xuanwu army of Liang State. According to historical records, during the war of the Later Tang Dynasty's destruction of Liang, he was even captured as a partial general of Wang Yanzhang, but because Xia Luqi called him a talent for being a useful person, he was not executed and surrendered to the Later Tang Dynasty. Later, because he participated in the war of destroying Shu, he stayed in Xichuan to serve, and followed the situation to make great achievements in pacifying Sichuan and Yu for Meng Zhixiang. He also killed the army of Shi Jingtang who had retreated to the southern expedition, and became a founding hero of the Later Shu regime.
Previously, the Liang Kingdom was destroyed by the Wei Dynasty. Zhao Tingyin surrendered to the Central Plains Dynasty. He did not rush to Sichuan and Sichuan to take office, but was transferred to the Huainan military vassal states... As Chai Ai used the military commander to manage the troops, the method of water war was roughly sharpened and he was able to control a fleet.
"General Zhao Du, you will be in command of the Zhou army. I will be in charge of the central army, let's see how the people of Wu will take action."
Chai Zaiyen issued a military order to Zhao Tingyin, and then turned to look at Zhang Wu who was beside him. Through these days of understanding and the military discussions between each other against the war with the Wu Navy... He was also very clear that he would defeat the main force of the Wu Navy in one fell swoop. In addition to the new firearms equipped by the naval navy of this dynasty, the generals who came from the Bashu area and were particularly good at fighting water wars would also play an important role...
Chai Zaiyong, who was nicknamed "Chai Hei" because of his iron face and stout darkness, then faced with Zhang Wu, who was purple-black in his face and was not engaged in his family's property when he was young, and was afraid of him. He looked at the small eyes with big eyes... Chai Zaiyong smiled first, and then said to Zhang Wu:
"According to the previous advice of Commander Zhang, our army was fully deployed. Most of the people of Wu would think that there was a good time and place to rely on, and there would be plans to ride the wind and set fire... so I asked Commander Zhang to lead the Feizhao Army's troops to wait and see and be on guard. If it was as expected before, it would be a matter of which of our army or the people of Wu would burn more vigorously..."
