Chapter 701: The Battle of Jingnan II.
April 20, 192, the hour of the hour!
The Liangzhou Army in Jiangling City, Nanjun County, Jingzhou, with a total of 70,000 land and water troops, sent troops from the Dajiang (Yangtze River) Water Village to the south to conquer Sun Ce's army entrenched in the four counties of Jingnan!
Dian Wei, Zhang He, Deng Zhi, and Deng Ai, leading 20,000 people as the vanguard, left the water village one step ahead and advanced towards Dongting Lake.
Three quarters of an hour later, Li Mu, together with Pang Tong, Fu Yan, Zhao Feng, Zhen Yao, Gao Xiang, Huang Xu, Gan Ling, Huo Yi, and 30,000 Chinese troops, also left Shuizhai.
In the end, Yan Yan and Huo Jun personally led 20,000 people as the rear to escort the strategic materials such as grain, grass, weapons, and siege equipment needed by the army.
An army of 70,000 and nearly a thousand warships sailed down the river, all the way mighty, which was really a spectacular scene that had never been seen in ancient times.
Li Mu stood tall and stood on the top deck of the command building ship with his hands in his hands, looking far ahead.
By the end of April, both sides of the river were already full of green trees, flowers blooming, and people working in the fields in groups.
The people of Nanjun have not seen the scene of the sailors sending troops, and it is not that they have not seen the scene of warships crowded. However, they had never seen such a majestic fleet of sailors.
Seeing it, the endless warships came from the upper reaches of the river, and the people working in the fields rushed to put down the farm tools in their hands and rushed to the bank of the river.
Among the people, there are few people who can read and write, but they also know that this mighty fleet defeated the Jingzhou army half a month ago.
The people also knew that because of the arrival of this iron-blooded army, because of the arrival of the commander of this army, their days of misery ended.
Although Jingzhou is a rich land, although it has never encountered a major war, the life of the people is still very miserable, and they can only barely be starved to death at the end of the year!
But now, it's different! Some of the acres of land under their feet belong to them, and some are leased. As long as you work step by step, more than two-thirds of the year's harvest belongs to you.
What kind of people don't support such an army?
Such princes, who is not loved by the people?
"Grandpa, look, there's a moving mountain on the water......"
"Hahaha...... Silly boy, that's not a mountain, that's the flagship of the commander of the First Army. Grandpa built a shipbuilding for more than forty years...... I've never seen such a tall and imposing building ship...... Our Li Junhou's sailor is amazing......" The old boatman's eyes were cloudy, but at this time, there was an indescribable shock.
"Grandpa, when my grandson grows up, I will also learn to build a shipbuilding and build a ...... for Li Junhou A ship bigger than that! "Seven or eight-year-old children, innocent and immature eyes, full of determination and hope.
"Good! Good! Good! The old boatman smiled with satisfaction, and his eyes were full of love.
In the laughter and laughter of the people, the command building ship where Li Mu was located, from far to near, from near to far, slowly disappeared into the horizontal plane.
No words along the way!
The next hour was just after the hour!
The Chinese army of the water division led by Li Mushuai set off from outside Jiangling City, all the way through the river waterway, entered Yunmengze, and then passed through the Yunting waterway and entered the boundless Dongting Lake.
Looking from afar, I saw ...... An endless water village, like a giant dragon, lies horizontally on Dongting Lake from west to east.
The west side of the water village is backed by the lofty mountains on the west shore of Dongting Lake; On the east side of the water village, it stretches past the center of Dongting Lake.
The Liangzhou army is civil and military, looking at the endless water village, and their hearts are all shocked, all of them are heroic!
Li Mu's command building ship had not yet arrived at the Liangzhou Junshui Village. Dian Wei, Zhang He, and Deng Ai hurriedly came to meet them on a medium-sized warship early.
When everyone saw each other, it was natural to inevitably ask for warmth. Half an hour later, the Chinese army of the Liangzhou Army Marine Division drove into the water village in an orderly manner.
……
The fifth cabin of the command building ship! Sissy
The reception banquet has already been prepared!
Li Mu sat on the main seat. Pang Tong, Deng Zhi, Dian Wei, Zhang He and his party sat on both sides.
"Everyone, drink this cup together!"
Li Mu raised the wine glass in his hand and said loudly with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, my lord!"
The Liangzhou army is civil and military, and they drink it all with their heads in thanks!
"Water Village, standing across the water with the back of the mountain, is really good!"
Li Mu raised his glass again, looked at the direction of Dian Wei, Zhang He, and Deng Ai, and asked loudly, "Which of the three of you came up with the idea?"
"Lord!"
Dian Wei pinched the wine glass and replied with a hearty face: "It was thought up by Jun Yi and Shi Zai!"
"Not bad!"
Li Mu nodded with great satisfaction, and praised loudly: "With the dedication of Jun Yi and Shi Zai, my Liangzhou Army and Naval Division will definitely be invincible in the world!"
Zhang He and Deng Ai hurriedly got up and thanked them: "Thank you for the lord's reputation, I am fortunate to live up to the lord's military order!"
Li Mu nodded and motioned for the two to sit down, and after drinking it all, he asked loudly, "What is the movement of the Jingnan Army?"
"Lord!"
Dian Wei put away the smile on his face and replied loudly: "According to the report from our army's scouts on land and water, Sun Ce personally led an army of 45,000 people to arrive at the north shore of Dongting Lake at the beginning of yesterday, and set up a water village on the north side of Dongting Lake in Youshi. The two armies are four quarters of an hour apart! ”
Li Mu slowly sipped Jin Cheng drunk, nodding from time to time.
Dian Wei continued: "The south of the Jingnan Military Water Village is the confluence of Miluo Water and Zishui. The upper reaches of these two waterways are the two cities of Luoxian and Yiyang, and in these two cities, each has 7,000 soldiers! ”
"That's just right! When our army defeats Sun Ce's thieves, the rats of the Jingnan army can flee to these two cities. ”
Li Mu nodded with a smile, and then joked with a smile on his face: "Sun Ce is even ready to retreat, he doesn't even have the courage to die and survive!" The battle ...... Can he be undefeated? ”
Pang Tong drank a glass of wine, smacked the taste of wine, and quipped with an uninhibited face: "Presumably...... 'Little Overlord' has been prepared for a long time...... Become a lost dog again! ”
The crowd burst into laughter!
Indeed, Li Mu did not expect it badly!
Although Sun Ce has regained his former pride in looking down on the world, and said that he would fight to the death with the Liangzhou army, in his heart, he was still ready to retreat and flee!
Of course, the strength of the Liangzhou army is like a towering mountain that cannot be crossed, and it is reasonable for Sun Ce to have some concerns!
"Today is a full day's rest!"
Li Mu said loudly with a smile on his face: "Tomorrow we will send troops, and we will meet Sun Ce for a while!"
The Liangzhou army nodded in agreement!
The atmosphere in the cabin became more and more lively.
More than an hour later, Li Mu received a secret message from the Wind Shadow...... Zhou Yu and Chen soldiers of 16,000 people were on the front line of Lingyang in Wuling County; Cheng Pule soldiers of 15,000 men in Xiajun City.
Everyone eats and drinks and chats until the unitary time!
