Shu Chen

Chapter 557

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Ma Zhong, who was appointed by the great Han as the chief general of the South Central Division, is not ignorant.

Seeing that Wu Jun changed his usual initiative to attack, he expected that there must be some changes, so he ordered the soldiers to guard the camp and not to fight no matter how provocative Wu Jun was.

Anyway, the strength of the two armies is almost the same. If Lu Dai dares to come to attack the fortifications, it will be as he wants.

And after four or five days, Shi Bao, who returned to Xinggu County from Yulin County and led Fang County, sent someone to report that Huo Yi had already led the army and watched Nanhai County Chief drive away, so Ma Zhong didn't leave the camp to fight up.

When you can sit back and wait for the full success, why rush for success and add uncertain factors?
After more than ten days of unsuccessful attempts to lead the army to fight, Lu Dai gave up his useless actions.

Based on his experience in the army, he can vaguely guess where Ma Zhong relies on.

Therefore, he had another plan in mind, which was to pull out the camp and retreat slowly, trying to lure the Han army to come and pursue him, and then he turned back to fight.

But Ma Zhong still didn't get what he wanted.

After sending more than a dozen scouts out to take the title of Wu Jun, even the soldiers of Lu Dai's tribe began to cross the river, without any intention of "attacking them halfway through the river".

It also made Lu Dai completely give up the idea of ​​luring the enemy to fight.

In desperation, he himself led 5000 people from his headquarters to station in Meiling County on the banks of the Xisuishui (Red River) River Valley to prevent the Han army from going south to the heart of Jiaozhi.The command department will follow the 3000 people from the headquarters to the south in the spring, and Sun Mao, the prefect of Jiaozhi who took office last year, will lead the county soldiers to guard the port to guard against the Han army coming across the sea.

The Han army can be regarded as the clan of Jiangdong, but it has been out of Qifu with Sun Quan for a long time, so it is not a public or a prince.

And my general is remarkable. I followed Lu Meng to cover up the eight counties in Jingnan, and I followed Lu Dai to quell the Jiaozhou rebellion. I had no military achievements, so I was entrusted by Sun Quan with the responsibility of leading the army to guard the border areas.

It's just that, the small situation is already on the rise, and neither Sui Chun nor I can turn the tide of the battle.

When we had just finished deploying defenses at the port and the rugged beach, a fleet of Chinese flags appeared under the sea.

The sheer number of ships made our officers and men desperate.

With me, due to the closed geographical environment of Cochin County, the port in the south is Ma Zhong's only approach.Now the fleet of the Wu army is ushering in. Considering that the Wu army in the north has no more than [-] soldiers, we are already the turtles in the urn!

Suichun, who was born as a traitor and was pardoned by Lu Dai and turned into a general, was willing to die for Lu Dai.

When he saw that the faces of the officers and men under his command showed no panic, a will to die was born in his heart.

I privately sought out Wen Qing's plan, planning to take a risky approach and lead the army to retreat from the port, pretending to be fleeing in fear, and lure Wen Qing to come to the beach, taking advantage of the full time when he landed, and then turn around to fight, so as to win a little bit. Odds.

Wen Qing knew nothing about this.

Suichun's suggestion is too risky!
If you are not careful, you will give up the port.

But I also have no better way.

Because I also know that even if Suichun and I try our best to defend the port, we will end up being landed on the beach by the Wu army.

After all, the strength of the enemy and you is very different.

Moreover, the morale of the soldiers of the two armies is comparable.

Especially when Sui Chun saw that I was determined to make a decision, he urged him urgently, "Your Majesty, this place is Cochin! Every day the war is delayed, your army's chances of winning will increase by one point!"

Yes, our situation will become more and more disadvantaged as time goes by.

Because those suppressed in the county are ministers, they will confuse the hearts of scholars and common people, and counterattack each other in tandem, causing Wen Qing to fall into internal troubles and be defeated in battle.

Therefore, in the end, the Han army still followed Suichun's plan.

But obviously we have all neglected a problem.

The Wenqing soldiers who retreated to Jiaozhou were all recruited from Nanzhong or guarded in Nanzhong. They had never seen Xiaohai in their entire lives, and they had the experience of floating in Xiaohai for more than ten days.

So a small number of us were seasick, and a small number of people vomited and were exhausted.

Only the more than two thousand Jieyang righteous men from Wu Dang's department can be safe and sound.

Therefore, when Wu Jun arrived at the port, he did not rush to land on the beach, but quietly moored the ship under the sea, waiting for the soldiers to overcome the symptoms of seasickness.

It also turned Suichun and the Han army's strategy of pretending to advance into a joke.

As the saying goes, go all out, then decline, and then exhaust.

The morale of Ma Zhong's soldiers was low, but in the calendar of generals led by Suichun, they knew how to muster up their morale and implement the strategy of pretending to advance. Suddenly the air of death
collapsed!

Perhaps no one thinks that this is because Wen Qing has seen through the strategy, so the reining in of troops is to land and sit and watch us, which will only increase the number of jokes.

Perhaps no one thought that the Wu army was waiting for something, but that the victory was certain, so they took a moment to seize the port water village.

No one is more pessimistic, thinking that those ships are just the rear of Wu Jun's advance, and there are no more troops coming in front, so they have no chance to seize the port.

But no one has guessed the real reason.

Even Suichun and the Han army couldn't solve it, and even gave birth to the fluke idea that the Wu army had few ships, but actually had a lot of troops.

After all, Jiaozhou is a place where miasma is rampant!

Wu Jun, who traveled through eight counties, experienced wars and rushed all the way, must have suffered a lot of losses, right?
It's just that we don't know for sure.

And because Lu Dai sent all the warships in the water village to Hepu County one after another, we wonder if there is a chance to try it.

However, should we return to the water stronghold and continue guarding it now, or should we take advantage of the situation and return to the city to guard it?
For a time, we had no difficulty riding a tiger.

But Huo Yi, who is also slightly seasick, doesn't care about us.

Hearing the report from the soldiers, claiming that Ma Zhong in the harbor water fortress fled hastily first, and then stopped before the shore, he was immediately overwhelmed by laughter.

The so-called see the small know the book.

After this farce, it was enough for me to gain insight into Ma Zhong's health.

Because if Ma Zhong has no heart to fight to the death and his morale is strong, Ma Zhong, who has the advantage of the location, will not do this.

In other words, does Ma Zhong have the courage to fight fiercely for a long time?

At that time, the Wu army will launch a retreat. As long as they maintain the courage to go forward, they will be afraid and defeated.

Just at this time, Wu Dang, who was under another warship, also came with a big boat.

The same sentence exposed Ma Zhong's flaw, claiming that Ruo would divide his troops at this time and transfer some of the boats to other places, so that the soldiers would go ashore to relieve their symptoms, with a view to occupying Jiaozhi County as soon as possible.

Anyway, looking at Ma Zhong's actions, he would definitely dare to divide his troops to attack.

As for why there is no use of my headquarters as the back drive to seize the water village~
Although my headquarters has no symptoms of seasickness, it has to monitor the prisoners and act as a sailor to steer the ships when the Nanzhong soldiers are in combat, so they are always gathered under the various ships.

But Huo Yi felt that it was appropriate to divide the troops.

I was worried that Ma Zhong would have an insight into the strength of the Wu army before going ashore, so he was scared and entered the city to guard it.

In this way, I will be able to attack us in one fell swoop in the city
It's better to stay under the boat and rest for a whole day, and let Ma Zhong, who is clear about it, continue to speculate.
