On the Daguan Lake Water Village, traces of the battle can still be seen everywhere, but the military flag with the word "Qin" that was originally placed on the water village is no longer there, replaced by a green military flag with the word "Wu"!
Looking at the military flag fluttering in the wind, Zhou Yu stood on the warship at the entrance of the water stronghold. The corners of Zhou Yu's mouth curled up slightly, showing a gentle smile. Behind him was Sun Wu General Taishi Ci. Taishi Ci looked into the water stronghold.
He glanced at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "Gong Jin! Look, General Han and the others are here to greet us!"
Zhou Yu lowered his head and took a look. Sure enough, on the water dock inside the gate of the water village, Han Dang, Xu Sheng and other generals were already standing there waiting in line. Zhou Yu hurriedly asked his soldiers to speed up and sailed the ship.
After entering the village gate, Zhou Yu cupped his fists at Han Dang and others and said with a smile: "General Han! Thank you for your hard work in this battle!"
"Hahahaha!" Han Dang and others burst out laughing. Han Dang clasped his fists at Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci and said, "Commander, you are so polite! This battle can be won easily, thanks to the commander's ingenious plan! Otherwise,
With the water stronghold so well defended, even if our army were to capture the water stronghold, we would probably lose a lot of lives! If we want to record merit in this battle, the commander should be the first to take credit!"
As the warship docked, Zhou Yu jumped up and said to Han Dang with a smile: "General Han! You are a veteran of the lord's account and Zhou Yu's predecessor! How can Zhou Yu be such a general?
Call me? Just call me by my cousin as usual!"
"Hey!" Zhou Yu's proposal was sternly rejected by Han Dang. Han Dang shook his head like a lang drum and said, "How can this happen? The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief personally appointed by the lord, and he is responsible for this attack.
Jingzhou’s military action! Since we are subordinates of the commander-in-chief, we naturally have to be called so in order to comply with military law!"
"Haha!" Since Han Dang was so insistent, Zhou Yu no longer forced it. He smiled and turned the topic to business, asking: "General Han! What were the casualties of the soldiers in this attack on Daguan Lake?
?What was the record? How many prisoners were there?"
"Uh!" Han Dang first lowered his head to calculate, and then replied: "This time we used the commander's strategy to attack the water village at night and lost nearly two hundred people! However, we wiped out more than five hundred enemies! We captured two
There were more than a hundred people, and the rest fled! Captured the enemy general Zhao Qiang! Seized seven enemy warships! There was also a lot of food and supplies!"
Han Dang briefly reported the results of the battle, while Zhou Yu made some analysis in his heart and couldn't help but frown. Obviously, Zhou Yu was not very satisfied with the results of the battle. Zhou Yu said in a deep voice: "Even if you sneak away
Zhaimen, did our army still lose more than 200 people? Tsk! It seems that the Jingzhou navy is indeed well-deserved!"
Zhou Yu's words made all the young generals behind Han Dang blush with embarrassment. They used about 3,000 troops to attack the water stronghold guarded by more than 1,000 people, and lost nearly 200 people. If this kind of record were normal,
The battle should be a very impressive result! But Zhou Yu was right. With the support of Zhou Yu's strategy, this battle was originally a must-win battle. Logically speaking, it had advantages in all aspects. This battle
The battle should be a complete victory! These young generals couldn't help but think of the scene that night. They thought that after killing the enemy general Zhao Qiang, the Jingzhou Navy would be defeated immediately. However, they did not expect that the Jingzhou Navy would be defeated without the general's command.
The army still launched a fierce counterattack! Fortunately, the reinforcements led by Ding Feng and Dong Xi arrived at the last moment, which defeated the last fighting spirit of the Jingzhou navy. Otherwise, it is really unclear whether they could have defended the gate of the village.
!
However, Zhou Yu quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter. The Jingzhou Navy can be called the best navy in the world, so it naturally has extraordinary strength! Our Sun Wu Navy, both in terms of time of establishment and weapons
It is an indisputable fact that we all lag behind them in terms of equipment! In short, we won this battle! This is the key!"
Although Zhou Yu looks very gentle and does not have the domineering or fierceness of a general, his words made the generals present get excited! Not bad! So what if the Jingzhou navy is stronger than us? As long as we can defeat the Jingzhou navy
The army was defeated! The number one navy in the world was our Sun Wu navy! Thinking of this, all the generals shouted in unison, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Zhou Yu looked at the generals with high morale, but smiled and waved his hands, signaling everyone to calm down first. He glanced at the swarm of warships outside the water village, then turned around and said: "This time we captured the official
Lake, this can be regarded as completing the first step of conquering Jingzhou! Next, we can use Daguan Lake as a springboard to start the next plan!"
Han Dang also knew that Zhou Yu was going to explain the next step of the battle plan, so he made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Yu and said, "Commander! Why don't we talk about it in the hall in the water village? It's more convenient there!"
This is what Zhou Yu hopes in his heart. Under Han Dang's guidance, the group of people walked directly to the hall in the center of the water village. After sitting down in the hall, Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh: "This water village
It's really amazing! If we attack this water stronghold head-on, even if the whole army attacks, it will not be possible to capture this water stronghold in less than ten days and a half! And if this time is delayed, Yuzhang's Jingzhou navy will definitely
Will come to support! This shows that Gan Ning really put a lot of thought into setting up this water stronghold!"
As the commander-in-chief of Sun Wu Navy, Zhou Yu is naturally the main enemy of Sun Wu Navy. He has very detailed information about Jingzhou Navy! This water stronghold was established based on the opinions of Gan Ning, the commander of Jingzhou Navy, with the purpose of
With such a platform in Lujiang County, you can advance and attack, retreat and defend, and you can also monitor the movements of Sun Wu's navy! So this time Sun Wu wants to use troops against Jingzhou, the first thing to solve is the water village of Daguan Lake.
stronghold!
Now that the water stronghold has been successfully captured, Zhou Yu did not continue to delve into this topic, and then said to the generals: "Although after we raised troops this time, General Taishi personally led many people to intercept many spies of the Qin Army.
.But this matter cannot be kept secret for too long! Presumably the Qin army in Yuzhang and Jingzhou already knows about the battle at Daguan Lake! I believe that it won’t be long before we are ready to welcome the Qin army’s massive counterattack! By then
, only then can the real battle begin!”
Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Han Dang, Xu Sheng and other generals who had experienced the Qin army's prowess all present had solemn expressions. Especially Han Dang. When Sun Jian first started his army, Han Dang followed Sun Jian outside Fancheng.
I fought a battle with Luo Yang! Later at Hulao Pass, I saw the power of Luo Yang's soldiers with my own eyes! The Qin army now in Jingzhou is the brave soldier army that shocked the world back then! To be honest, Han Dang really didn't
Confidence can defeat such an army head-on!
Seeing the expressions on the faces of Han Dang and others, Zhou Yu seemed to have guessed what they were thinking, but he smiled faintly and did not tell the truth, but continued: "The commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou navy is the Jinfan thief Gan Ning.
! This man is not only very skilled, but also very good at water warfare! In addition, his subordinates Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai are also masters of water warfare! It would be extremely unwise for us to have a head-on confrontation with the Jingzhou navy! However,
We have captured Daguan Lake this time, and the Jingzhou Navy will never give up! Therefore, our next plan is to prepare how to deal with the Jingzhou Navy’s counterattack!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yu suddenly made a gesture to the soldier guarding the door of the hall. The soldier immediately took out a folded brocade silk and spread it out directly in the center of the hall. It turned out to be a rather detailed piece of paper.
Map of Yangzhou! Zhou Yu stood up and walked to the map, squatted down, pointed to the location of Daguan Lake on the map and said: "This is where we are now! And the main force of the Jingzhou navy is mostly on Poyang Lake.
! From Poyang Lake to Daguan Lake, no matter how slow it is, three days is enough! In total, the Jingzhou navy should already know the situation of Daguan Lake by now. In other words, we will welcome Jingzhou in three days at the latest
The navy's counterattack!"
Han Dang and others on the side were also gathered around the map at this moment. Listening to Zhou Yu's explanation, Xu Sheng frowned and said: "Although the Jingzhou navy has slowed down its development in recent years, according to the latest intelligence
, the Jingzhou navy has at least 70,000 people, and thousands of large and small warships! If the Jingzhou navy counterattacks with all its strength, our current strength will not be able to stop it at all!"
"No!" The veteran Han Dang shook his head and said: "It is impossible for the Jingzhou naval forces to spend all their money! Yuzhang is a barrier to Jingzhou! It is impossible for them not to reserve soldiers and horses there to prevent them.
Just in case! In my opinion, the Jingzhou navy can dispatch at most half of the troops! The remaining troops will definitely guard the Yuzhang, Chaisang and Linchuan lines!"
The expression on Xu Sheng's face did not relax at all, and he said: "Even so, we only have about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and it is still impossible to stop the counterattack of the Jingzhou Navy!"
"Uh!" Han Dang hesitated for a moment, but didn't know how to answer. Xu Sheng was right. The biggest difference between the Sun Wu Navy and the Jingzhou Navy is the number of people! The training of the Navy is not as good as that of other arms. It requires recruitment.
Soldiers who are familiar with water properties, and building warships, etc., are not accomplished overnight! In fact, it is amazing that Sun Wu's navy can develop to this level in just a few years! After all,
Sun Wu Navy is not like Jingzhou Navy. It has a very deep foundation. It can be said that Sun Wu Navy has developed from nothing to the current level step by step! Among them, Zhou Yu's talent and Sun Wu's background in Jiangdong family are indispensable.
Collect a lot of financial support!
Xu Sheng's question caused the generals to fall into silence, but Zhou Yu looked at the expressions of the generals and smiled lightly, saying: "Wen Xiang is right! I also said before that if we only compare military strength, we will indeed
We can’t compare to the Jingzhou Navy! No! We never planned to fight head-on with the Jingzhou Navy!”
