Chapter 955: The Convergence of Rivers and Seas

The Cao army attacked Hanzhong, the Yan army attacked Leping, the same siege battle two scenes are completely different, it seems that all the efforts are on the side of the Cao army, the same is the elite division of the Han army, the two sides do not have much difference in the use of offensive and defensive tactics, and the fighting spirit of the soldiers is also almost the same, it seems that the biggest difference between the two is only in the use of equipment, but this contains Liu Yi and Cao Cao's different understanding of the use of soldiers, which is reflected in the battlefield is shown.

Liu Yi, the king of Yan, Cao Cao, the hussar general, this is the two most powerful princes in the late Han Dynasty, and he is the invincible commander of the army on the battlefield, since the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the two have added countless wonderful things to the chaotic war situation in the late Han Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to call it the art of war in the world. Speaking of the talent for the way of soldiers, Liu Yi himself admits that Cao Cao is much better than himself, which he has a deep understanding from the beginning of Xiyuan to the time of the discussion of Dong, no matter the training, battle formation, strategy, Cao Mengde is a well-deserved hero of the moment, there are indeed some defects in him, such as suspiciousness, and informality! But no one dares to guarantee that he has no shortcomings, as early as in later generations, Liu Yi regarded Cao Cao as the first hero of the Three Kingdoms, and this life is even more determined about this.

Now Liu Yi has to suppress Cao Cao in terms of strength and prestige, and most of the people in the world mention the two heroes Liu is in front and Cao is behind. But among them, Lang Sheng's advantage of crossing accounts for a large proportion, many of his thoughts and understanding of the affairs of the military family are the crystallization of thousands of years of wisdom of many eloquent and strategic people, if so, it is absolutely unreasonable to let Cao Cao suppress him!

Of course, there is a long process in this, and Liu Yi is very cautious about combining the military theories of later generations with the present world, for him, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is an important period for him to have his current status, and it is precisely because of the hard work and accumulation of those years that he has laid an extremely solid foundation. There is a premise that you must know both things very well in order to be able to talk about each other's strengths, if your own understanding is not deep enough, it is likely to be the opposite! And in it, it not only takes a lot of effort, but also has a cautious attitude!

This advanced battle is no longer a personal duel between Liu Yi and Cao Cao, but a confrontation between the two groups after they united their subordinates and fierce generals! In such a duel, the commander's guiding theory is even more crucial! Take the great men of later generations as an example, from a small one to be the king of the mountain to finally be able to own the entire land of China, put aside other places for the time being, the targeted theories he put forward in each period play a decisive role, Liu Yi is like the helmsman of the giant ship of Yanjun Yandi, and the core of that rudder is his own guiding ideology and theory, which is not only military but also political, people's livelihood, science and technology and other fields complement each other!

With the largest territory among the princes, the largest population, the most powerful army, now Liu Yi can use his two lives of countless accumulation to summarize a variety of theories to guide the development of various fields, at the moment the most critical is the military, since the beginning of the two-year strategy, multi-arms cooperation, strengthening technology has become the guiding ideology of the Yan army! Equipment battalions, medical battalions, including the engineer battalion that will be there in the future, etc., etc., some of them have shown their power through actual combat, and some are still under construction, but all of them have only one purpose, the new army that Langsheng wants to build must not only help him dominate the world, but also be proud of the world!

The biggest gap between Cao Cao and Liu Yi is still in vision and insight, of course, this is not his reason, in his eyes, Yan Jun's new arms and tactical innovations are unprecedented, but he doesn't know that these have been great successes in later generations, what Liu Yi has done is to integrate the four words, although these four words are also extremely difficult to do, but it is much easier than his own innovation, and from the current battle situation, this gap will make the advantages and disadvantages of the two more obvious! Liu Yi knows that the stronger his strength is, the more people he will influence, and the more his hands and feet can be released, this reason is very simple, and it does not need to be explained, and it is also the main reason why he strives for stability.

In the era of the late Han Dynasty alone, Liu Yi had a lot of innovations, but arms like equipment battalions and medical battalions had actually appeared before, but they had never been as in-depth and detailed as the Yan army and could play their own advantages on the battlefield! But there is one type of army that has never appeared in the long history of China for thousands of years, but today's Yan Army has been able to use it in actual combat and achieved great results, that is the Flying Tiger Army now commanded by Gan Ning!

Navy! Whether this force is strong or not in later generations is the criterion for judging whether a country's military strength is strong, because for the big powers at that time, most of their vision will be on the global strategy, and 70% of this world is occupied by the sea, and whoever can dominate the sea will have the greatest mobility and initiative! And for the present era, he will be even more significant, the Age of Discovery has created hundreds of years of glory in Europe, what will happen if Liu Yi can move this era forward to the end of the Han Dynasty? No one can predict it here, but it's worth looking forward to.

The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, who were pinned on by Liu Yi, naturally did not know this grand blueprint in the heart of King Yan, that is, the commander Gan Ning only had a vague concept, but the whole army of the Flying Tiger Army was extremely clear about their immediate strategic goals, and occupying the waterway of the Yangtze River provided the most favorable guarantee for King Yan's layout! And this expedition is different from the last time, according to the words of the second general, the previous time was to work for others, this time it is for themselves, no matter how strong the Yangzhou Navy or Jingzhou Navy is, the only one who will dominate the Yangtze River waterway in the future can only be the Yan Army Flying Tiger Army!

At the mouth of the Yangtze River, at the end of the Han Dynasty, there was no famous Oriental Paris, except for a few small fishing villages, it was even deserted, and the galloping dragon flowed into the sea, and a very obvious yellow dividing line could be seen from a distance. At this point, the Flying Tiger sergeants on all the warships were not only excited but also a little nervous, this is the psychological preparation they must have before the big battle, there is no human force at sea that can threaten the existence of this huge fleet, but it may not be in the riverway, if they are too arrogant, whether it is Liu Bei or Sun Ce's sailors, they may give them a heavy blow!

A day earlier, the second general had convened a military meeting attended by all the commanders, and there was only one theme: a great war was imminent, and all departments must enter a state of imminent war. For the Yangzhou Navy and even the Jingzhou Navy that may come to meet them, they must be treated at the same level as the Flying Tiger Army, and every warship formation with the "Aolong" ship as the core must strengthen patrols day and night, and add double posts at 12 o'clock in the lookout port!

A little nervousness is to not be too relaxed in the battle with the enemy, and to pay attention to the enemy army is to avoid mistakes in tactical choices, the strength of the Flying Tiger Army is obvious to all, but it is not a mistake to use troops cautiously at any time! Today, Gan Ning personally led the Flying Tiger Army to reach the mouth of the river is only half of the main force, and then the Fangshan branch led by Xuan Lang and Zhang Rong will also come, they also have four teams of naval formations, 15,000 soldiers, according to the time calculation, at this time they should have completed the task of transporting the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu to Xiapi, and the interval between the arrival of the Yangtze River waterway and the main force of Ganning will not exceed half a month, and the Flying Tiger Army will be more powerful at that time.

Pang Tong's advice to King Yan was itself after careful thinking, with great certainty and detailed arrangements, and no matter whether Liu Yi had such a requirement for the generals under his command, a mutilated plan alone could not show his talent at all! At that time, his idea was based on holding the two main forces of Longxiang and Agni and the Xuzhou branch of the second general, the Flying Tiger Army, but after Liu Yi adopted his strategy, in order to let it have more room to play, he specially transferred the second battalion of the White Tiger Xuanwu and the Fangshan branch of the Flying Tiger Army from Youzhou to Feng Yan, and the troops that Pang Tong could control on both land and water have been greatly enhanced, and there are also wise and resourceful people like Jia Xu to check and fill in the gaps for him.

The Flying Tiger Army was divided into two and came to the Yangtze River Waterway because of the distance, but in terms of the battle situation, it also has great advantages, not only can you lay down a shadow, but also protect Gan Ning's back road, although Pang Tong has absolute confidence in his own arrangement and the strength of the Flying Tiger Army, but he still doesn't dare to take his biggest opponent in this battle, Wolong Kong Ming, or dare not take anything lightly, only he can say that he knows this person deeply, and he also knows his terrible place on the battlefield!

After two years of being busy with drills in Xuzhou, the Flying Tiger soldiers are extremely looking forward to the upcoming battle. Isn't it just to show off on the battlefield one day? The second general said, we are the most important trump card in King Yan's heart, and there are many top-notch equipment and warships, and it would be too embarrassing for the Flying Tiger Army not to take the control of the Yangtze River waterway to the king, how can they gain a foothold in front of those armies in the future? The Flying Tiger Army is going to be a well-deserved overlord on the water!

However, in the midst of the excitement, there are two people who are more hard, of course, the fighting spirit in their hearts is still boiling, which can be said to be both excitement and fatigue. Of course, these two are Yang Can and Yan Xing, the two brothers and sisters who were punished by Gan Ning for cleaning the deck of the "Aolong" ship a few days ago! Just as the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion love the war horses like family, and the equipment battalion treats the equipment more than their own bodies, the officers and men of the Flying Tiger Army also have deep feelings for their ships that they almost never leave all day long, and they do their best to clean and maintain them every day, and the decks of those ships are almost spotless, and even some soldiers are not without exaggeration, the decks of our Flying Tiger Army warships are cleaner than the faces of your army! This sentence is the cause of the group fight that day, and later after the people who were punished together reconciled, they went to the Fangshan branch to visit the warships of the Flying Tiger Army, and the generals of the army found that in fact, there was not too much insult in the words of these colleagues on the water, and the deck was indeed unexpectedly clean!

As the new ace warship of the Flying Tiger Army, the cleaning soldiers of "Aolong" should pay more attention to it, but due to the huge size of "Aolong" itself, it is extremely physically demanding to clean it down, generally speaking, this job will take forty soldiers to spend half an hour to complete, and now it is all handed over to Yang Can and Yan Xing, and their fatigue can be imagined! These two people are school captains, even if Yang Chan is not from the Xuzhou branch, Yan Xing still has many brothers who share life and death, but none of these people dare to help, and the military order of the second general is by no means child's play! The commander of an army must be able to make sure that he is a good man in his own army, otherwise you will not be a qualified commander, this is what King Yan said that day, and the major commanders of the Yan army also did so.

"Damn, if I'm old, I'm old, if I had been five years earlier, I wouldn't have gasped for breath when I carried these dozens of buckets of water!" Obviously, Yang and Yan are very serious about Gan Ning's military orders, and there is a division of labor between them, Yang Can lifts water, Yan Xing mops the ground, and the side of the "Aolong" ship is four or five zhang high from the water surface, and the wooden barrel is like the waist of a strong man, and a bucket of water is afraid that it will not weigh less than a hundred catties. Continuously mentioning dozens of barrels of seawater, even if he is as strong as Yan Xing, he is a little unbearable, leaning on the side of the ship and panting, in fact, he is only thirty-five or sixteen years old this year, but he can also be called old at the end of the Han Dynasty.

"Go, go, I want to remember correctly, your kid is August 16, I am July 13, in terms of age, I am a month older than you, what are you old in front of me? I'm telling you, don't expect to be able to work less with two breaths, Lao Tzu is still a big bunch of things to do, don't cry for me and call my mother, move smartly, do you want to eat Chinese food? Hearing Yan Xing's words, Yang Can, who was washing the deck, said without raising his head, and his words were very disdainful, at this time, he stared at a pair of deerskin boots, and was wearing a strap suit made of leather, which was from the exquisite handiwork of Youzhou Lin County.

"Who the hell wants to work less, if you want me to say that the second general is too, he is about to enter the Yangtze River and don't let us prepare for war, even if I remember to beat my military stick in the future, I will admit it, why bother...... Lao Yang, Lao Yang, look! Yan Xing said angrily, but when he said it, he seemed to see something in his eyes, and shouted loudly at Yang Can on the side!
