The first thousand two hundred and thirty-six chapters are on the verge of battle
Chapter 1,236 On the occasion of war
In the end, Yi Xiaotian actually didn’t tell anyone the specific method.
He explained:
"Actually, that thing is not in my hands now, but according to the location that General Gan pointed out on the map before - their army is not far from the place where I can send people to hand over the equipment, so General Gan, you can start from
I will gather troops and horses at the location designated by me, and then my people will deliver the equipment and teach you how to use the new equipment."
Everyone nodded while listening, as if they understood completely, but when Yi Xiaotian got up and went out, Lu Xun and Sun Quan were not happy.
"So what on earth is it!?"
The two followed Yi Xiaotian out loudly. When Ma Yunlu stood up respectfully and nodded to Gan Ning, only Gan Ning and a few of his subordinates were left in the room...
Gan Ning looked at the location Yi Xiaotian pointed out for them on the map in front of him, as well as the plan that Yi Xiaotian had just attached, and thought for a long time without saying anything...
"General... do you want to believe that Yi Xiaotian?"
"letter."
"But...he looks..."
"We have only one way to go now. You don't want to embarrass the governor, right?"
Gan Ning said, putting the letter in his arms.
After hearing Gan Ning's words, everyone shut their mouths.
Yes, they were once the most elite group under Zhou Yu, but now they have been driven out of their homes. If they want their names to be known to the whole world again, they must fight this battle.
of.
"Gather all the brothers together. Within three days, I want to see everyone's face in Wan County."
"yes!"
Gan Ning gave the order without hesitation... He pressed his hand tightly against his chest. He didn't know whether it was the warmth of his hand that heated his heart, or whether it was the boiling blood that surged into his chest again - but one thing is certain...
The navy, which was originally regarded as invincible by Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others, will soon encounter their most difficult group of opponents.
——
The first day of the twelfth lunar month in the 16th year of Jian'an.
The weather has become colder than in the past few days. Although it has not rained, the gloomy sky always makes people feel a layer of mist.
Five days have passed since Jianye fell into Liu Bei's hands - these five days gave Liu Bei's army a chance to rest and recuperate, and also allowed them to plan how to defeat them in a more secure way.
The only land elite left in Jiangdong.
"Isn't there any news from Shiyuan yet?"
Early that morning, Zhuge Liang, wrapped in a thick fur coat and breathing cold air from his mouth, summoned the soldiers in the camp who were responsible for intelligence to ask questions.
"Back to Military Advisor, there is no news from Military Advisor Pang yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang sighed, rubbed his frozen hands and turned to leave.
He did not return to the warmer government office, but went out and walked straight towards the carriage parked outside.
Although the situation seems not optimistic, they can't wait any longer. Today...the army will go out.
After boarding the carriage, it didn't take long for Zhuge Liang to arrive at the pre-arranged gathering place outside the city gate.
At this time, nearly 40,000 infantry and cavalry troops gathered outside the city, standing in the cold wind, as determined as if they were not affected by the cold weather at all.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's arrival, Liu Bei, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward to greet him:
"Kong Ming, you're here."
"Ang...Lord, have all the armies ordered their troops?"
"Everything has been ordered. Over at the ferry, Generals Wu and Chen are still waiting for you, Kong Ming, to show up. Shall we go quickly?"
"Um--"
This time... Liu Bei's army can be said to have come out in full force. Zhuge Liang saw clearly the fatal weakness of the Jiangdong people. Even though he knew that his old enemy Yi Xiaotian might have arrived in Jiangdong,... Zhuge Liang did not think that in the face of absolute advantages, Yi Xiaotian
Heaven can still turn decay into magic.
Navy——This is the key to their victory this time.
No matter how bold the opponent is this time, they probably won’t dare to tilt all their forces toward the estuary, right?
Zhuge Liang thought so... He knew that if the 30,000 elite naval forces led by Wu Ban and Chen Shi were just facing a small fight, they would not be affected at all...
However, after fighting Yi Xiaotian for so many years, Zhuge Liang still felt a little guilty.
That's why before the war started, he had to personally explain to Wu Ban and Chen Shi in order to deal with the possibility of a very small, but not impossible, accident in the future.
——
Less than ten miles northwest of Jianye City is the largest ferry nearby.
To say that it is a ferry is to underestimate the spaciousness of the place - the small port now accommodates 30,000 naval forces, including nearly 300 ships of various sizes.
Such a rare and spectacular formation, except for the time when we were at Red Cliff, is definitely almost invincible at this time.
This is also thanks to the careful training of Guan Yu, who has been guarding Jiangling for so many years.
In short... when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang arrived at the ferry, Wu Ban Chen Shi was already ready to welcome them.
When he saw them arriving, he quickly went to greet them.
"My lord! Military advisor! Everything has been arranged according to your instructions. I'm just waiting for your order——"
"Don't worry, General Wu. There is something I haven't explained to you yet."
Zhuge Liang interrupted Wu Ban who was in high spirits. After speaking, both of them were a little confused.
After thinking for a while, maybe he was still struggling in his heart... But in the end, Zhuge Liang looked at the two of them with serious words and expressed his final considerations:
"That's right. Although I think it's unlikely... we also have to prevent the enemy from placing the center of defense at the mouth of the sea... If this really happens, please two generals not to forcefully lead troops to break through the enemy.
Blockade - what you have to do is to attack the enemy's position with all your strength and hold back their possible main force so that they cannot easily move their position..."
"At that time, the two generals will need to quickly send the information back to the front line - because at that time, the enemy's frontal defense is very likely to have weaknesses."
Zhuge Liang explained what he was thinking, and Wu Ban and Chen Shi were confused for a while...
It's not that they don't know how to organize troops, but Zhuge Liang's advice sounds a bit redundant to them...
Are Kodong people really so desperate?
Placing the main force at the estuary and weakening their frontal defenses on land...isn't this asking for death?
After all, on the frontal battlefield... they have nearly 40,000 elite infantry and cavalry, as well as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other powerful generals...
But since Zhuge Liang said it, they had no choice but to do it.
The two were about to nod in agreement, but Zhuge Liang shook his head and continued:
"It's not over yet... Considering the measures the enemy may take... we can't just bet on the two current offensive routes..."
"Um……"
In Zhuge Liang's mind, the map of Jiangdong was gradually emerging, and a clear attack route gradually became clear on the intricate water route.
