Chapter 603: Cao Jun Goes South
Since the start of the campaign, the Mutual Aid Alliance took the lead in launching and captured several counties in the north of Jingzhou with lightning speed, and then I took the initiative to strategically evacuate and defend the Lujiang River, driving the players of the Northern Wei camp to move the battle line to the north bank of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.
Then the two camps launched a fierce stalemate battle along the Yangtze River, and you came and went, and the fight was not lively. At this time, the NPC forces that players thought they would wait and see for a while moved.
It was Cao Cao who took the lead in mobilizing, and a text was born, holding high the banner of the Qing monarch, raising troops from the north of Jingzhou and moving south. Soldiers and horses were frequently mobilized from all over the north, and hundreds of ships gathered in Jingzhou.
Not long after, Cao Cao left Xuchang, personally led the army south, into Xiangyang, at the same time a large number of warships gathered in the Han River, the intention is quite obvious, want to borrow the Han River into the Yangtze River, all the way to the east, directly take the capital of Eastern Wu Jianye.
Players have mixed feelings about this.
Emperor Xian is in Chengdu, as we all know. Cao Cao raised the banner of the Qing monarch and raised troops, but instead of fighting Western Shu, he aimed at Eastern Wu, just like A said to B that I want to fight you, but the target was C.
Soochow lay the gun.
Recalling the beginning of the battle, Dongwu was the most active, and it was the alliance of Xishu and the expedition to Zhuya, which was very awesome. However, Xishu only sent a Zhuge Kongming to envoy to Eastern Wu to facilitate the two sides to join forces. In addition, Xishu did not move anything, and even the northern counties of Jingzhou fell, and only allowed the players of the Wu Shu camp to spontaneously go to recover the lost territory, but the effect was minimal.
However, now, Cao Cao of the Northern Wei Dynasty took the lead, and the first target was not Western Shu, but Eastern Wu. It can be seen that it is not easy to be a bird.
Soochow has made a big loss this time.
The land and water army of the Northern Wei Dynasty gathered in Xiangyang, which immediately triggered a chain reaction. Sun Quan of Eastern Wu urgently promoted Lu Su to be the governor of the capital, and Zhou Tai was the deputy governor, and personally led the Eastern Wu naval division to garrison Chaisang, waiting for an opportunity to advance west to block Cao's army. Closely following Liu Bei's order to Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the two generals led the army eastward and stationed in Xiakou, Fankou and other places, and Zhuge Liang once again sent an envoy to Eastern Wu to serve as a liaison between the two sides.
Three ways in unison.
Players are eagerly awaiting to see if the lonely and self-contained Xanadu City will follow. At the beginning, the expedition of Eastern Wu was fruitless, and Lu Meng and the millions of Eastern Wu troops all surrendered, which made the strength of Xanadu City soar.
However, the players were disappointed.
Xanadu City seemed to be closed to news, and it didn't know the news of the three kingdoms of the Central Plains moving together, and there was no sign of transferring troops to the north. The only active one is the Xanadu Water Division led by the famous general Gan Ning to make waves in Yizhou, helping the Yizhou Branch of the Huaxia Alliance to seize most of the territory, forcing the major forces in Yizhou to have little respite.
After more than half a month, Cao Cao made another change, and suddenly divided his troops into two routes, one continued to prepare to enter the Yangtze River eastward through the Han River, and the other road went south from Xiangyang to Jiangling, and went straight down the river.
The sudden strategic change of the Northern Wei Dynasty did not cause much impact. Sun Quan responded to all changes with the same, and still methodically increased his troops to Chaisang, seeking to keep the enemy out of the country and ensure that Jianye was not lost.
However, just when the players were disappointed, Liu Bei suddenly made a move. Guan Yu personally led the Western Shu Naval Division to the north along the Han River, and attacked Xiangyang Water Village, and the Northern Wei Naval Division in Xiangyang was almost wiped out by a fire.
Guan Yu's brilliant victory made players smack. This great victory directly announced the collapse of Cao Cao's strategic intentions. Originally, he relied on the powerful soldiers to divide into two routes, trying to divide the forces of the Wu and Shu coalition forces, but Guan Yu's fire directly extinguished the Xiangyang 1st Road Water Division, and Cao Cao's 2nd Route Army became a road again, and all the preliminary work came to naught.
The forum exploded.
"Second Master Guan is mighty and domineering." Guan Yu's supporters rejoiced.
The character of Guan Yu has mixed reviews among players. Although he was respected as the second master of the martial saint Guan by later generations, there were many people who did not like it, thinking that he had many shortcomings, and was named the five tiger generals, and he was ashamed to be in the same column as Huang Zhong, and then because of his arrogance, he lost Jingzhou, so that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang's efforts came to naught, making Xishu trapped in Yizhou and losing the best path to enter the Central Plains.
But this is the virtual world.
Fans don't care if this is history or not, they only care about the excitement that Guan Yu brings with this big victory. In the face of this great victory, all heretics must be shut up.
Aside from these brainless fans, other gods from all walks of life also appeared one after another, highly appraising the strategic value behind this big victory, and unanimously believed that it would bring a different ending to the battle.
Completely annihilated the Northern Wei Naval Division along the Xiangyang Road, Guan Yu withdrew his troops from Xiakou, divided his troops to advance along the west, and joined forces with the Eastern Wu Naval Division, who rushed to expand the results of the battle, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and confronted the Jiangling City occupied by Cao Cao across the river.
The two camps gathered heavy troops in Gangneung, and a large number of players rushed to hear the news, and they had the posture of finishing the battle in one battle, seeking to end the battle of Chibi ahead of schedule.
However, Guan Yu still did not seem to be satisfied, and after a few days of confrontation, he suddenly took advantage of the night to raise troops and continued to attack Yiling located upstream along the west of the river. After a night of fierce fighting, Yiling, which lacked troops, was lost. Guan Yu and the allies confronting Gangneung formed a flanking attack on Gangneung.
The Northern Wei Dynasty was in turmoil for a while, and fell into a dilemma.
Guan Yu once again exerted his might, which greatly encouraged the players in the Wu Shu camp. A large number of players gathered in Yiling, and in one fell swoop, Cao Cao had to retreat, so that he could take advantage of the victory to pursue and lock in the victory in one fell swoop.
The Wushu alliance won successive battles, and Cao Cao immediately made a contingency, ordering Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan to lead the army westward and unite the players of the Northern Wei camp to storm Yiling. After more than ten days of fierce battles, Guan Yu faced a steady stream of player armies, and had to withdraw from Yiling, rendezvous with the Eastern Wu Naval Division led by Lu Su, and continue to confront the Cao army in Jiangling.
The situation of the war changed dramatically, and the situation returned to square one.
At this time, Zhuge Liang made another move, and after reaching a consensus with Lu Su, he immediately ordered Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Xiakou, to lead the Shu army from Xiakou and go north along the Han River, seeking to block the Cao army in the direction of Xiangyang and cut off the reinforcements from Jiangling.
Wu Shu's camp shot repeatedly, the morale of the players was greatly boosted, everyone was fighting bravely, faintly overpowering the momentum of Cao Cao's side, forcing Cao Cao to frequently transfer troops from the north for reinforcements.
The Northern Wei Dynasty gradually declined.
Cao Cao was stretched thin and had no way to break the game, which made the players of the Wu Shu camp led by Cang Yue rejoice. Especially in the south, the iron-blooded overlord of Jizhou was besieged by the surrounding families, but even if they are in the same camp now, the Jizhou border is still full of conflicts.
So Cangyue secretly planned a big conspiracy.
With Wu Shu's great victory over the Northern Wei Dynasty, he joined forces with the southern families to sweep the north, and completely kicked out the northern families, including the iron-blooded overlord, in one fell swoop.
Without territory, the family is rootless, and its huge wealth is the delicious cake on the table, which can be eaten as much as you want, and you can grab it and paste your face.
We local tyrants, we are willing, I'm not happy that you came to beat me.
