In the early hours of the morning, a small boat left from the "Proud Dragon" ship in Ganning, and quickly crossed the river and disappeared in the vast reeds, and half an hour later, all the ships of the Flying Tiger Army had already pulled their sails full, and the mighty fleet headed towards the upper reaches of the river at full speed! After a night of thinking, Gan Ning had already decided to launch an offensive against the Yangzhou Navy first, and then judge the enemy's movements from its reaction! The idea must be that he will naturally not hesitate again, and the attack will be like the wind without giving the opponent the slightest room to breathe, although the news that two spies escaped from the Flying Tiger Army the day before yesterday will soon reach Jianye, but Gan Ning is almost certain that the other party will not dare to confront him head-on on the river, and if this is the case, he will be overjoyed, and the fanfare at this time will add to the momentum.

Sending troops to Xunan and the Yangtze River waterway is Pang Tong's strategy, and everything must be led by Feng Xiao in the overall strategy, including Gan Ning Jia Xu, who must listen to his arrangement, and can only put forward supplementary opinions and cannot resist them! But in the implementation of specific tactics Xingba has full decision-making power, the importance of this battle lies in the fact that no one will deny the fact that Pang Tong wants the control of the Yangtze River waterway in the overall strategy, he will regulate the choice of timing, but specific to the actual water war, Xingba must have the absolute right to speak, as long as it does not exceed the strategic planning of this battle, because its position in the Yan army and the water army is irreplaceable!

The increase in the number of troops and the expansion of the battlefield are a challenge for every campaign commander, the backward communication conditions at the end of the Han Dynasty do not allow the generals or strategists to accurately command every soldier, so only the ability to fully believe in the actual implementation of the strategy is the best way to go, Liu Yi has always been like this, he only looks at the general strategy before the battle, and points out clear strategic goals for the generals under his command, and how to arrange the troops and use tactics is more the responsibility of the front-line generals, unless the situation changes specially, Otherwise, Pang Tong would never interfere with Gan Ning's battle!

At the same time that the Xingba Flying Tiger Army is advancing with full sails, the water village built by Zang Ba for it is also in full swing, if you want to give full play to the combat power of the Flying Tiger Army, land supplies are indispensable, relying on water transportation alone may be able to support for a while but can never be long, and once the lack of materials is the combat power of the Flying Tiger Army will also be greatly affected! Here, Pang Tong gave Xu Huang a death order, the establishment of Liuhe Water Village must be initially completed within one month, and at the same time, the Long Xiang Army must also be on guard at any time for the other party to launch a surprise attack on the Water Village before the Flying Tiger Army arrives! Maybe the scale of such a raid is not large, but once it succeeds, it will bring great trouble to the construction of the Yan army's water village, which will indirectly affect the combat ability of the water army, and the enemy army can also get more time.

Liuhe Water Village from the moment of establishment of Yangzhou Navy did not stop harassing it, although the shore erected cannons can play a great deterrent role on the other side, but after all, Zang Ba has only half of the equipment battalion in his hands, and because of the full speed of the march, all the equipment can not be fully in place with the army. Therefore, for Xuan Gao at this time, the harassment of the enemy army is secondary, and their surprise attack will be the focus of his defense in advance! More than 10,000 of their own soldiers cannot block all the rivers without a naval army, on the contrary, if the enemy army wants to, it can launch a landing operation at any time, and before the arrival of the Flying Tiger Army, this initiative will undoubtedly be completely controlled in the hands of the other party!

As far as the overall strategy is concerned, Pang Tong's plan is meticulous, and the Yan army is on the active side, but this initiative is only on the whole, for example, this may not be the case at this time, and it is active and passive in the battle array, and the advantages and disadvantages are constantly changing! Alone in the face of the Yangzhou Navy, Gan Ning is in an absolute advantage, but once the Jingnan Naval Army joins the situation, the situation will immediately change, the so-called unpredictable battle array refers to this, before the war in a favorable position in the end but the example of defeat abounds in Chinese history, in which the improvisation of the commanders of both sides will account for a great proportion of this, war has never been a simple thing.

Pang Tong, Jia Xu, Xu Shu and others only made a detailed explanation to Xu Huang after seeing this point, and this situation will not be out of the sight of Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others, they will never just pin their hopes on Sun Ce's help, and they will definitely have a-for-tat strategy with Yan Jun! The Yangzhou army not only has all-rounders like Zhuge Liang, but also Kuai Yue, Lu Xun's strategy, Chen Deng's military intelligence, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Huang Zhongwen's appointment and other generals, including Liu Xuande's own ability to control the overall situation, cannot be ignored. Last night, Ziyue had said to Gan Ning that the Yangzhou army had warships constantly moving back and forth between the two sides of the strait half a month ago, and because the other party was heavily guarded, even the people in the heavens could not get too accurate information for a while, and it was difficult to define whether it was a bluff or a real action.

Xingba immediately asked Ziyue to spread the military information to Zang Ba Xu Huang was an instinctive response, of course, Pang Tong, who had received the intelligence before, had already passed the news out, but for a few days did not find any traces of the Yangzhou army, they just used the water army to constantly harass the construction of the Yan army's water village, it seems that the enemy army is likely to blempty frequently, but neither Xu Huang nor Zang Ba dare to take this lightly, after the vanguard arrived on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the remaining main force of the Long Xiang army also rushed here in the starry night! The enemy army will never sit back and watch themselves successfully build the water village, but Xu Huang and Zang Ba's second generals are hundreds of miles away but have the same idea, and strict vigilance must not be abolished.

The news of the arrival of the Flying Tiger Army at the mouth of the river was detected by the spies in Yangzhou, and Zang Ba had already gotten the news before Jianye Lu Xun, according to the normal speed of calculation, the Ganning army from the mouth of the river to Liuhe will not exceed three days and nights, and when the Flying Tiger Army arrives, the enemy army will not talk about a surprise attack, and even the harassment on the water will be difficult to do! Zang Ba, who received the news, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but before he could spit out all his breath, the enemy's actions followed! A soldier came to report that the Yangzhou Navy on the other side of the river was dispatched on the whole line, and it was speeding towards thirty miles downstream of the water village!

The enemy wanted to attack the Yan army by transporting soldiers to the shore by the navy, and it was the control of the waterway that made it possible for them to do so, if it went well, they could further destroy the water village established by the Yan army, and if the war was unfavorable, they could quickly evacuate under the cover of the naval warships without much loss. It can be said that the advance can be attacked and retreated, and Zang Ba will not be unaware of the enemy's intentions, at this time, the follow-up main force of the Long Xiang army is coming one after another, and there are only more than 10,000 soldiers available in his hands, and it is difficult to exert the power of the cavalry battalion on the shore, it is not easy to completely block the enemy army with the limited strength in his hand, but there is no choice at this moment!

Ordered his subordinates to carefully observe the actions of the enemy on the river, Zang Ba himself personally led five thousand elites to the landing place of the Yangzhou Navy to meet quickly, and chose the time of dusk to launch an offensive, the other party's generals are obviously particular, the speed of the naval warships crossing the river The enemy will definitely have an accurate grasp, they are obviously dragging the Yan army into the night battle, at this time, not only can limit the play of the equipment battalion, but also minimize their scruples about the cavalry! And the fact that the other party was able to calculate the actions of the various units of the Longxiang Army quite accurately is enough to prove that they have done a good job in terms of intelligence, of course, this also has a great relationship with the battlefield in the land of Xunan! Liu Bei has been in Xuzhou for many years, and he will cultivate his own power openly and secretly, and he cannot eliminate it in the short term.

The temporary shortage of troops is a fact that Zang Ba cannot change, but he is prepared for this in his heart, and he will not miss this good opportunity to strike if he puts himself in the position of the other general. At this time, he can't and doesn't have time to rush to the opponent's landing place to give a head-on attack, and it is even more impractical to hit it halfway, he can only firmly jam the enemy's path, and the attack here can also minimize the role of the opponent's naval army, as a battlefield veteran Zang Xuangao's response in an instant is extremely appropriate, now the Yan army can rely on their strong combat power, as long as Zang Ba insists on one day, there will be two battalions of Longxiang sergeants rushing here, Xu Huang is only two days away, of course, Xuangao knows in his heart, This short day and night, especially the night in front of us, is not easy.

In addition to the five thousand soldiers who led Zang Ba to meet the enemy, the remaining Long Xiang soldiers and soldiers all put up a vigilant posture around the real water village of the Yan army, and Xuan Gao's order to the cavalry battalion was to stand by, because the night combat cavalry could not fully exert their advantages, and the two cavalry battalions of the Long Xiang Army and the Agni Fire Army with nearly 10,000 iron cavalry would play a huge role in the future battle. As soon as the sky is bright, the cavalry camp will be able to exert its power.

Liu Xin, the second son of King Yan of Qingzhou, only caught up with the final end, and this battle was also the first duel between the two young generals Cao Zhang and Liu Xin, who had the heaviest reputation in the later generation, and the battle ended in a draw, but the restrictions of the battlefield situation at that time did not allow the second son to show his strengths in this war! I'm afraid that the next battle of Qingzhou is mostly a fortification, and it is difficult for him to have the same opportunity to compete with Cao Zhangyi, and compared to this person, Guan Yu Zhang Fei, who ranks in the top four on the spectrum of Fengyun, is more worthy of his expectations, after getting the approval of Zhao Yuntai Shici, he and Zhao Wuxian came to Xiapi with a flying horse, and when they met Gan Ning, they also made a makeover! This time Xu Huang's troops entered Xu Nan, Liu Xin naturally wanted to come with him, in the Beiping Army, the second son was the cavalry battalion Sima, and his rank did not change in the Longxiang Army, at the beginning Komeito also appointed him as the deputy commander, but where is Liu Xin willing to follow? Speaking of which, this position is half a level higher than Sima, but it is difficult to fight on the front line in wartime, and the military Sima's subordinates can control a thousand cavalry soldiers, at this time, hearing the news of the enemy's attack, Liu Xinxin's battle spirit immediately rose, and the opportunity to show his skills has arrived!
