Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 568

Lantian asked Li Yi to go to Linxiang overnight to invite Xu Shu, and asked Xu Shu to rush to Dongting Water Village to garrison and stay in the middle to support, so as to prevent the Jiangdong warship from returning.

That night, Lantian, Gao Shun, and Li Yi deployed a battle plan, intending to use the Jiaozhou navy to attract Sun Jiao's attention and cover the landing army's smooth landing on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

The waterway of the Yangtze River is wide, and the heavy autumn rains are over. The current in the river is gentle, and the resistance of warships against the current is not great.

There was more than half a day's water journey between Dongting and the police. Li Yi's fleet set off early in the morning, and when it was halfway westward, Sima Chuqing, the accompanying army commander, discovered the signal flag dedicated to scouts on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

The fleet made an emergency stop and docked, and finally got in touch with the scouts they had sent before.

The scouts reported in detail the situation at the Public Security Port. The governor Su Fei is currently confronting Sun Jiao on the riverside, but they are trapped in the port due to the disparity in the number of troops; Soldiers from the county were sent to garrison the low-lying landing points; although the public security port is now tense, the entire Wuling County is still in a stable state.

Lan Tian was a little surprised when he heard the news. Mi Fang in this plane is much more competitive than in history. It is also possible that Lan Tian's appearance has weakened Mi Fang's rights and prevented him from appearing in key positions.

After analyzing the information, Lan Tian adjusted the plan and asked the scouts to return to the public security by land, and agreed with Su Fei to attack internally and externally, trying to find a way to defeat Sun Jiao's navy.

At [-]:[-] PM, the fleet arrived at the scheduled waters.

According to the battle plan, Li Yi lined up more than a hundred warships horizontally, and all the ships, regardless of their size, were covered with five-color tooth flags. This not only attracted Sun Jiao's attention, but also reminded Su Fei in the public security port that their main purpose was to Covering the transport ship and successfully sending the trapped army to the landing point is considered a success.

Sun Jiao was quite surprised by the appearance of the Jiaozhou Navy. It is said that since the public security began to flow eastward into the sea, the waters of the Yangtze River have been completely controlled by Jiangdong, so he has no defenses for the rear waters.

Li Yi's fleet was beeping with gongs and drums, and the warships were advancing neatly forward. Although the number of Jiaozhou navy is small, their skills in manipulating ships are exceptionally strong. Their ability to maneuver ships in the ocean has actually surpassed that of Jiangdong. navy.

Su Fei saw the ship coming in the public security port, and immediately commanded the Jingzhou warship to leave the port to fight. Sun Jiao was a little panicked when he saw this, thinking, why is this different from the previous plan?
The naval forces of the two sides fought fiercely in the public security waters, but the ending was very surprising. The combat effectiveness of Sun Jiao's [-]-strong navy was far from the legendary ones, and even showed a disadvantage in the battle.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Sun Jiao took the initiative to retreat to Jiangling in the northwest when the number of warships was superior. Su Fei and Li Yi gradually discovered the problem.

Sun Jiao's fleet besieging the police was bluffing. Although the number of these warships outside the port far exceeded the size of the ten-thousand-man navy, many of the ships did not have enough soldiers.

When Li Yi's fleet was advancing, Sun Jiao urgently changed the battleship formation, interspersing the rear ships to the middle position.

At this time, Sun Jiao secretly complained that he might have served as the governor, but because of Lu Meng's strength, he was reduced to the support of the rear army.

Seeing that the situation and the plan were so different, Sun Jiao didn't know what the entire Jingzhou battlefield would look like. He only hoped that Lu Meng had captured Jiangling City, otherwise his empty fleet would be surrounded by the Jingzhou navy. .

Thinking of the moment when he set sail in Jiangxia, the picture in Sun Jiao's mind was still very clear.

On that day, Sun Quan went to Jiangxia Wharf in person to toast the four-way army that was about to set off.

Jiang Qin and Lu Xun's fleet set off first, and their purpose was to cut off the grain road in Jingzhou;
Following Jiang Qin's fleet, Pan Zhang crossed the river and landed on the north bank, and slowly detoured by land to the north of Jiangling, cutting off Guan Yu's return route on land;

Sun Jiao finally set off with Lu Meng in the finale, and he was not in a hurry to follow Lu Xun's fleet, because their journey was the key to capturing Jingzhou.

Lu Xun seized the stronghold of Dongting Lake by surprise, and Lu Meng rested near Dongting for a short time. According to the previously discussed plan, he used twenty ships as camouflage, and ambushed elite soldiers in the cabin. , dressed as merchant ships traveling to and from trade.

The white-clothed merchant ship headed towards the public security, and the beacon towers along the way did not arouse alarm.

Every time a merchant ship passed a sentry post on a beacon tower, people would bring wine and meat ashore to serve as soldiers, and finally captured the sentry in the tower by surprise.

In order for the merchants to get on the ship smoothly, it is human nature to arrange dredging along the way, so Lu Meng seized the loopholes and did the same, successfully pulling out all the beacon towers between Dongting and the police.

Lu Meng's scheme can only be fooled by the sentinels of the Beacon Tower, but the Su Fei fleet is an existence that he cannot ignore.

Lu Meng originally wanted to imitate Lu Xun's surprise attack on the police, but Su Fei was reminded by Gan Ning and Xu Shu many times, so the waters he was in charge of were patrolling every day.

When the Jiangdong navy appeared in the waters east of the Public Security Bureau, Su Fei not only actively organized the fight, but also sent people to report to Jiangling.

When he found that there were nearly a thousand warships in Jiangdong, it would be unwise to face them with ten times as many troops. Su Fei decisively retreated to the public security port and relied on the defense facilities on the shore to resist.

The Public Security Port was originally the mouth of the Youjiang River. Because it is located in an important position on the Yangtze River, when Lan Tian served as the governor of Jingnan, he appointed General Gan Ning to supervise the construction of the port.

Considering the location advantage of the Public Security Bureau, Liu Bei moved the seat of Wuling there, and continued to expand on the original basis of the Public Security Port. After Su Fei became the governor, he strengthened the fortifications.

Lu Meng found that the police's defense was comparable to that of Jiang Xia back then. At that time, he accompanied Sun Quan to attack Jiang Xia, kill Huang Zu and capture Su Fei. Unfortunately, Su Fei was finally rescued by Gan Ning Baiqi. Su Fei has now become a stumbling block on his way forward.

Lv Meng commanded the ships to fight in water for two days without any progress, and on the third day he took the main force to Jiangling. The purpose of his trip was to capture Jiangling and capture Guan Yu, so he didn't want to waste time and troops in the police.

Although there was nothing he could do against Su Fei in the two-day battle, Lu Meng already knew the opponent's reality, so he left [-] sailors for Sun Jiao. His task was to trap Su Fei in the public security port.

Later, Lu Meng's attack on Jiangling was blocked, and he took away soldiers from Sun Jiao one after another, making Sun Jiao's more than 300 warships empty.

Although Su Fei was trapped in the police station, his news was successfully delivered to Jiangling.

Not long after the news arrived in Jiangling, the city became tense, and the captain of the city defense school, Xiang Xun, immediately ordered the four gates to be closed, and sent supplies to each gate to send more defenders.

In an ordinary military camp in the west of the city, there are fierce fighting sounds every day in the school grounds.

The 12-year-old Lan Ji sat in the stands, watching his subordinate Erlang practice against Cao Jun's captives.

"General Yu, your soldiers aren't very good, they can't even compare with us children." Lan Ji turned his head and smiled at Yu Jin who was in the prison car.

Yu Jin has been choked like this dozens of times, and now he doesn't want to speak again.

He was hired by Lan Ji to "watch the battle" for more than a month, and he didn't know who to confide in the humiliation in his heart, saying that my soldiers are hungry to fight you, who can guarantee that they will survive?

Besides, can these guys be called children?Everyone is not only not short, but also flexible and powerful, and can be used as an elite soldier when pulled to the front line.

Just when Lan Ji was bored watching, Guan Xing suddenly appeared on the sidelines of the school. He ran and shouted: "Zhong Ling, our chance has come."
