Chapter 829: The Great Water War

Wen Chou attacked several times, but failed to capture Rencheng, and considering that he had gone a lot deeper, he was already a little away from Yuan Shao, so he immediately sent someone to report to Yuan Shao and ask Yuan Shao for an order.

"Wen Chou is still meritorious, he took the Dongping Kingdom, and I ordered Wen Chou to lead 30,000 troops to the east, capture the Lu State, and then attack Taishan County, and attack the Luo Gan camp from the south! Xin Congzhong led his troops to continue the siege of Rencheng. Yuan Shao ordered with confidence.

Now Luo Gan is confronting him, so good, let Wen Chou lead the troops to sneak attack from behind, I see what you Luo Gan will do!

However, no matter whether it is a threat from Wen Chou's soldiers and horses, for Luo Gan, there is also a big incident over there.

Sun Ce had already suppressed the rebel forces, at least on the surface, the four counties south of the Yangtze River were under Sun Ce's control, so he freed up his hands.

Under such circumstances, Sun Ce's strategic goals mainly have three, one is Fang La in Jiaozhou, one is Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and the last one is Luo Gan.

So who to hit first, that's a key question.

The envoys of Luo Gan, Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao all came to Sun Ce, and they all promised Sun Ce a lot of delicious food, hoping that Sun Ce could cooperate with them.

With Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and others here, these envoys could not influence Sun Ce from the outside at all, and could only depend on the decisions of Sun Ce and his advisers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, should I avenge my father, raise troops to fight against Huang Zu and Liu Biao, or attack Luo Gan in the north?" Sun Ce was full of fighting spirit, and he wanted to send troops immediately.

His little overlord Sun Ce is like the overlord of Western Chu back then, born specifically to conquer the world.

"Lord, Huang Zu has an enmity with my Jiangdong, so you should cut it down first. If Jingzhou can be obtained, the river can be divided, the Central Plains can be attacked, and the Yangtze River can be used as a moat to protect the east of the Yangtze River. Invincible also. Lu Su made a move, his strategic goal was to occupy Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou, first occupy half of the country, and then unify the world in the north.

Sun Ce nodded, agreeing with Lu Su's words to a certain extent, but he was not domineering: "Zijing's words are reasonable, with the Yangtze River as a trench, the northern army can't beat it." But I mean the world, not a corner of peace, Cao Cao, Luo Gan, and Yuan Shao are all heroes in the world. If you can compete with it to dominate the world, how fast! ”

Zhou Yu was very compatible with Sun Ce, clapped his hands and said: "Zijing's words must not be for the country, if the northern army takes advantage of the competition, our army takes the opportunity to seize Jingzhou, Yizhou, and Jiaozhou, then the world can be divided into two." However, by that time, the north had been decided, and it would be difficult to enter the Central Plains. What's more, the Jingzhou Navy is not weak, Huang Zu, Cai Mao, and Zhang Yun are all people who are good at water warfare. On the contrary, it is Luo Gan's sailors, and I have not heard of any generals. At this time, Yuan Shao and Luo Gan confronted each other, Xuzhou was empty, and it was our opportunity to come. ”

Lu Su is more cautious, Zhou Yu is a little aggressive, not enough is a plan that can be done, once it succeeds, it will be a very favorable situation for Sun Ce, as for whether it can succeed is another matter.

Sun Ce waved his hand, pulled out his sword and pointed at it: "Attack Luo Gan, send someone to ask Yuan Shaoduo for some money and food." Zhou Yu led you as the main general, led an army of 30,000 to attack Guangling County from Wu County, and I personally led an army of 20,000 to attack Lujiang County and Jiujiang County. Zhang Zhao and Lu Su stayed in the town. Expand your territory, in one fell swoop! ”

"No, I will take it to Xuzhou for the lord!" Zhou Yu confidently led the order.

Then the Jiangdong army was dispatched again, Sun Ce led 30,000 troops to Guangling, and Zhou Yu's 20,000 horses were vigorous to cross the river to attack Lujiang and Jiujiang two counties to avenge the shame.

The movements of Jiangdong's soldiers and horses naturally could not be concealed from Luo Gan's scouts, and Luo Gan's army also deployed troops and horses.

The Vermilion Bird generals Shi Bao led the cave immortal Wenrong, Shan Tingqi, Li Feng, Wei Xu, and Song Xian to guard the city of Picheng,

Tianfeng general Tai Shici commanded Pang Wanchun, Xiang Yuanzhen, Hua Rong, and Yan Qing to guard the Anhui city in Lujiang County.

Ruan Xiaoqi led Li Jun, Zhang Shun, and Meng Kang to lead the Qingzhou Sailor to guard Guangling County.

In this battle, Sun Ce's side mobilized a total of 50,000 water infantry troops, and Luo Gan's side had a total of 30,000 water infantry troops.

The first to fight was Zhou Yu's men, leading 10,000 sailors and 20,000 foot soldiers, and several generals such as Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, Pan Zhang, Lu Meng, Chen Wu, and He Qi under his command.

Zhou Yu set sail and landed a big ship from Dantukou in Wu County and went straight to Guangling City diagonally opposite.

The first warship was still neatly advancing in the swaying of the river, and the command ship that Zhou Yu personally sat on was a three-story building ship, and there were some scout ships, and the yacht ship was responsible for reconnaissance.

The whole river is full of warships, more than 1,000 warships, the scale is very large, covering the sky and the sun, that is, in the Yangtze River, this kind of big river can allow so many warships to gallop and cruise.

However, Zhou Yu's attack location was not only a point, Zhou Yu's building ship was also very large, which could accommodate more than 2,000 people, and there were more than 700 warships, and more than 20,000 sailors went straight to the Guangling City ferry.

In addition, there were 300 warships, under the command of Jiang Qin and Pan Zhang, leading 10,000 people to quietly set off in Qu'a and kill Haixi County in Guangling County.

Zhou Yu's movement on the Dantu side was very large, and he successfully attracted the Qingzhou sailors.

In fact, it should be called Xuzhou Water Division, but Luo Gan established the Donglai Water Division at the beginning, and finally upgraded to the Qingzhou Water Division, and did not change its name later.

Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Shun, Li Jun, and Meng Kang led 400 warships and also came to meet the Jiangdong Navy.

Two naval armies, more than 1,100 warships, across the Yangtze River, the scale is very huge, this is bound to be a big water battle.

It is also time to test Qingzhou's ability to fight water.

"Report ...... It has been proved that Zhou Yu personally led more than 700 warships to fight, please ask the general to decide! "The spies are coming.

"You go, hum, water war, who I'm afraid of Ruan Xiaoqi, don't be cowardly, brothers. I have been practicing for a long time on weekdays, and today I will definitely open the meat and show off the world, but they know that our Qingzhou sailors are powerful! Ruan Xiaoqi raised the Dragon King Thorn and cheered up the leaders under him.

"Ho Ho Ho ......"

The crowd was excited, and many small leaders under his command raised spears and spears and shouted.

"Zhang Shun is the striker in the waves, Li Jun, the dragon of the mixed river, is on the left, Meng Kang is on the right, I am in the middle of the dispatch, each leading a hundred warships, and set off!" Ruan Xiaoqi Dragon King stabbed and roared loudly, as if he was the Hades from hell.

"Kill!"

The leaders of the Qingzhou Navy Division immediately got on the warship, set sail and rocked, opened the gate of the water village, and rushed out, went straight to the center of the river, and rushed to Zhou Yu's navy.

Zhou Yu's navy has many warships, many soldiers, and a very strong momentum, and regards the rolling Yangtze River as a flat avenue.

Ruan Xiaoqi's Qingzhou Sailors, although the quantity and scale were not as large as Zhou Yu's, the quality of the warships was stronger than Zhou Yu's.

For example, Zhou Yu's command ship is only three floors, but Ruan Xiaoqi's building ship is five stories high.

The rest of the warships are slightly faster than Zhou Yu's warships in terms of size and defense.
