Wu Jun Water Village.
The old general Quan Cong had a relaxed look on his face, lying on a wicker chair with some emotion in his heart, thinking that Liu Adou was a craftsman who was delayed by the emperor.
This wicker chair is so comfortable to lie down on.
Just when Quan Cong was closing his eyes and concentrating, a primary school student walked in quickly from outside. Hearing the footsteps, he was a little anxious.
Although Quan Cong did not stand up, he still closed his eyes slightly.
But in my heart, I was a little nervous.
What happened... Han Army... Just as he was thinking about it, the small colonel came closer and said anxiously: "Da Sima... something big happened!"
As soon as Xiao Xiao opened his mouth, Quan Cong only moved his eyes slightly and was not surprised. He had already expected it. The moment Xiao Xiao came in, he felt that something might be about to happen.
"Why are you so alarmed?" Quan Cong asked.
"Go back to Da Sima!" Xiao Xiao said: "I just got the news that thousands of Han troops are blocking the Xia River..."
"Huh???" Quan Cong was stunned when he heard this. He was a little confused at first, but he quickly opened his eyes and said in horror: "Not good!"
As he said that, he ignored the elementary school and walked straight outside.
Half an hour later, Quan Cong came to a cliff. In a canyon not far away, thousands of Han troops were busy. They carried, carried, and carried some stones, and then threw them all into the mouth of the Xiashui River.<
/p>
"How long have they been here?" Quan Cong asked the generals around him.
A young general replied: "I just discovered this morning... The Han army has not done much in the past two days. It turns out that they came here to block the river." As he said, the young general seemed a little speechless and muttered: "These Han troops
If you are idle and cannot attack our army, you will come here to move rocks..."
Hearing this, Quan Cong glared at him angrily and scolded: "What do you know? The Han army wanted to save the Xia River. Once the Xia River was blocked, the river water could not be diverted. Within five days, the water level of the river would be reduced."
Will rise..."
As soon as he said this, the young general's expression suddenly changed, and he panicked: "If the water level of the river rises, the Han army's warships can pass through the obstacles... Da Sima, we have to stop them, and we must not let them throttle the summer water."
Xia Shui is a branch of the Yangtze River. Compared with the wide surface of the Yangtze River, Xia Shui passes through the mountains, and finally flows into Jiangxia County, and then merges into the Yangtze River. However, the river is narrow and warships cannot pass through it.
Otherwise, Quan Cong would have been stuck here instead of retreating to a slightly narrower area on the river to set up a stronghold, but now he regrets it.
He did not expect that the Han army would come up with ways to save money.
The entrance where the Yangtze River divides the Xia River is not wide, and the widest part does not exceed five feet. It is very easy for the Han army to block this place in a short time.
With two thousand people working together, it can be blocked in two days at most.
Because there are mountains and forests nearby, there are many stones used to reduce water flow.
"It's too late!" Quan Cong shook his head.
The Han army built a stronghold with its back on Xiashui, and the entrance to Xiashui was behind it. If the Han army wanted to block it, it was up to them. If the Wu army wanted to stop them, they would have to go behind the Han army.
However, there are so many mountains all around that it would take ten days and a half to get around them. By the time the Wu army got behind the Han army to prevent the Han army from reducing its flow, the water level of the Yangtze River would have risen, and the Han army would not be able to get around it.
All military warships have passed through the obstacle area.
"What should we do?" The young general looked a little anxious.
"Go back to camp!" Quan Cong said solemnly: "Get ready to fight!"
The water level in this section of the river is not deep, otherwise he would not be able to place hidden stakes to block the Han army's advance in a short period of time. Now the Han army has figured out a way to raise the water level of the Yangtze River.
No need to think about it, the Han army wants to fight.
As long as the water level reaches the standard, the Han army's warships will cross the obstacle area.
Once the Han army crossed this section of water, it would be very difficult for the Wu army to set up obstacles, because as they go further south, the water level becomes deeper and deeper, and all the way to Wuchang City, there is no water where hidden stakes can be set up.
p>
The war is inevitable.
......
Five days later——
Seeing that the water level on the river had risen a lot, Qin King Liu Tan was overjoyed. He especially bowed his hand to Deng Ai and said, "Thanks to General Shizai's good strategy, otherwise our army would still be trapped here. General Shizai, please accept this."
I pay my respects to you!"
With that said, Liu Tan planned to salute Deng Ai.
"I can't do it, I can't do it!" Deng Ai hurriedly stepped forward to stop Liu Tan. He was only a recently surrendered general, who could withstand the gift of the eldest son of the mighty Emperor of Han Dynasty.
"General, it is an honor for me to serve His Highness!"
After getting along with each other in the past few days, Liu Tan sincerely admired this general who had recently returned to the Han Dynasty. In the past, he had only heard from his father that Cao Wei had several capable generals, including Deng Ai.
It was also for this reason that Liu Tan was particularly polite to Deng Ai when he came to the army.
Talent, who wouldn’t like it?
In the past few days, he had communicated with Deng Ai many times, talking about the general trend of the world and the pattern of the world. He quite appreciated Deng Ai's views.
In fact, Deng Ai is similar. I didn't hear much about the eldest son of the emperor in the Han Dynasty before. It was only after he surrendered to the Han Dynasty that I heard the Han army talk about some of the achievements of His Highness the King of Qin.
But they all happened in the Western Regions.
The Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions and established two powerful kingdoms in the Western Regions. Although Deng Ai has never been to the Western Regions, he has heard about some things that happened in the Western Regions.
It is also for this reason that when Sima Zhao was surrounded by the Wei army, he no longer had any hope in reporting to Cao Wei, because they were no longer the ministers of the Wei Dynasty. Even if they were the generals of the Wei Dynasty, he knew that with the current strength of the Wei Dynasty,
, simply unable to compete with the rising big man.
At most, it will only delay the time of destruction.
Liu Tan was very satisfied with Deng Ai's humility. He turned to look at the generals, and suddenly his face became serious. He said: "Command the whole army to set sail..." As he said that, he looked at the water of Wu Jun in the distance.
Village, he said loudly: "In today's battle, we will definitely annihilate the Dongwu navy."
"No!"
The generals heard the promise and agreed.
Soon, more than seventy-one warships, large and small, sailed forward in an orderly manner, their targets pointed directly at the Dongwu Water Village in the distance.
...
"Generals, listen to your orders!" Quan Cong drew out his long sword and said in a deep voice: "Today's battle requires the life of the entire army, otherwise Soochow will be in danger...Repelling the Han army is our army's goal today."<
/p>
"No!"
Dozens of Soochow generals also responded loudly.
The water level on the river has risen. They have expected that the Han army will attack them soon. Moreover, early this morning, they have also discovered that all the warships that had been docked in the water village have left the water village and are on the opposite side of the river.
Swing open.
The Han army is about to launch an attack.
Since the hidden stakes in the river can no longer stop the Han army from advancing, they can only use their muskets and the bows and arrows in their hands to stop the Han army. Even if the Han army has terrifying explosive bags in their hands, they still have to attack the Han army.
Rush over.
They...have no way out.
If we retreat further, the capital of Wuchang will be exposed to the artillery fire of the Han army. As Wu's strongest military force, if the navy retreats again.
Da Wu...it's over!
