Chapter 1357 The Battle of Chaisang Five

On Pengze Lake, the sky is blue and blue waves are thousands of miles away.

"Boys, strangle them!"

"Archer, kill!"

"kill!"

"Rush over and break their formation!"

In this beautiful environment, a fight is going on. The warships of the Wu army show a fierce offensive posture. In the middle is a sharp offensive formation. The ship was strangled in it.

"Hold on!"

"The shield is up, and the left and right formations are maintained!"

"The archers fight back, suppress their offensive momentum!"

"The first part, listen to the order, prepare to combine the trebuchets, break their vanguard attack, and never let them approach our warship!"

As the Captain of the Seventh Battalion of the Violent Bear Navy, Fan Nian is young, but he is steady. His impeccable defensive formation forcibly blocked the attack of the Wu Army's navy.

This made Zhou Tai a little furious.

"Damn!"

Zhou Tai felt uncomfortable all over. Few people could stop him from such a fierce attack, but the Ming army generals on the opposite side were even less powerful than him, but they blocked his unchallenged attack.

"Second wave of attack, prepare!"

Zhou Tai is not going to give up the attack. He doesn't believe that the Ming army's navy is really so strong. He has to tear through the enemy's defense and eat up this wave of Ming army warships. Otherwise, how can he be worthy of dying on the water of the Yangtze River? Wu Jun Erlang on the Internet.

"Prepare the trebuchet!"

"Get ready to fire the oil!"

"attack!"

There are many ways for the Wu army to attack, but the long-range attack is just that. One is the sniper attack with a bow, arrow, bed and crossbow, and the other is the kerosene attack.

This is what Jiangdong is good at. Warships are basically made of wood. Once they are watered with tung oil and ignited, even water is difficult to destroy.

"avoid!"

Facing the ferocious attack of the Wu army and the navy, Fan Nian made a rather cowardly decision at this time, to avoid the warship, that is to say, not to face it head-on.

"All warships evade!"

"Dodge their attacking tracks!"

The Seventh Battalion changed rapidly.

........................

At this time, whether it was Zhuge Liang, General Zhonglang of the Jingping Navy of the Ming Army, or Zhou Yu, the governor of Chai Sang of the Wu Army, they were all carefully observing this tentative battle.

Last night was a sneak attack.

That did not predict much of the combat effectiveness of the two sides.

Today's tentative battle is a tentative understanding of the enemy's combat effectiveness.

On the Storm Bear.

Zhuge Liang put down the binoculars and couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose. The intensity of the two days and nights of non-stop sleep made him a little tired even though he was still a young man with strong body.

However, this exhaustion did not affect his thinking at all.

Around him were not the generals, but the lieutenants of the various ministries, and they all watched intently. After all, if you know more about the enemy's combat effectiveness on the battlefield, you will have more ability to save your life.

On the battlefield, no one is better than another.

More importantly, who can survive.

"What do you think?"

At this time, Zhuge Liang asked in a low voice.

"Wu's navy is capable of crossing the four seas, and its reputation is indeed well-deserved. The way they attack is due to the cooperation of the soldiers during the battle. In addition, their ability to control warships is far superior to ours!"

A military general spoke first.

The Violent Bear Navy has left and right army generals, but there are more than two generals. The generals are the same as the staff officers. Both the left army generals and the right army generals can establish a general department, recruit generals to participate, and name one It's actually not difficult to join the generals, because the generals only have the right to make suggestions, and they don't have the power to control the soldiers. Each army has at least a dozen or so generals.

These participating generals can be regarded as the staff of General Zhonglang.

They are not only responsible for the copywriting work, but also for the prediction of the battlefield, as well as the guessing of the enemy's combat power, and even the help of strategic deduction.

"General Zhonglang, I agree with General Liu Can. Although I am not confident enough to say this, but the fact is that our Violent Bear Marine Division has not slackened in training or fighting in the past few years, but fundamentally, it is still not as good as it is. The elite of Wu's navy!"

The Captain of the Fifth Battalion, a tall and strong man from Jingzhou, named Han Dong, was born in the Han clan of Jingzhou. Most of them either ascended or descended secretly, or had already been eliminated from the system of the Violent Bear Navy.

After all, the foundation of the Violent Bear Navy is to combine the strength of the Jingzhou Navy and the two battalions of the Jingping Navy. Most of the main force is still the Jingzhou surrendered army.

Under such circumstances, in order to completely control everything, those generals with greater influence will naturally be removed. They will either go to Jingping's affairs, or jump out of the navy system and enter the army infantry system.

He can still stay and control the main force of the first battalion. Not to mention Han Dong's ability, at least he has a relatively high EQ. It is not easy to dispel Zhuge Liang's doubts and make Zhuge Liang trust him.

"If it weren't for our warships being built better, they could already match or even surpass Wu's warships. I'm afraid it would be even worse. Now we still have the power to fight!"

Then the Captain of the Sixth Battalion said.

This is one of Zhuge Liang's confidant generals, and he belongs to Zhuge Liang's backbone. He said so, and the generals were relieved, at least not worried that Zhuge Liang would become angry from embarrassment.

"I can see what you said!"

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flickered in his eyes: "Indeed, at present, our overall strength may not be as good as theirs, but it's hard to say on the battlefield!"

"Regardless of the combat effectiveness, we are not qualified to lose this battle. Within three days, we will not only have to fight Wu Jun on this Pengze, but we can't pay too much!"

Zhuge Liang quickly ordered: "Order the Seventh Battalion to withdraw!"

"Yes!"

A general immediately went to deliver the order.

"The fourth battalion and the sixth battalion are preparing to move eastward. The warships form a shape of a wild goose, sealing off the entire northern part of Pengze. Once encountering enemy warships, dodge as much as possible!"

Zhuge Liang continued to order: "Remember, our task is not to fight to the death with the Wu army. It is not the time for a fight to the death. Our purpose is to delay their main force here and move our troops northward slowly. !"

As long as Zhang Yun can take Zongyang, then the strategic goal of the first step will be achieved. At that time, he will withdraw his troops and advance eastward along the Yangtze River. Even if Zhou Yu pursues him, he will not be able to catch up so easily.

As long as you stall for time, there are enough opportunities.

And he didn't just fight again with the Violent Bear Navy.

In this battle, his Violent Bear Navy is just a cover mission, the main force is not them, but the most mysterious Jingping Navy, although the Violent Bear Navy has good combat effectiveness.

But Zhuge Liang didn't think that he could have the ability to compete with Jingping Navy.

The Jingping navy is definitely the fiercest, most powerful, and also the most mysterious army among the Ming army's navy. Even he is not sure how much combat power the Jingping navy has.

"promise!"

The generals of the various ministries moved quickly.

........................

It is located in the south of Pengze, less than [-] meters away from the battlefield, on a relatively ordinary fighting ship.

Zhou Yu didn't have such a treasure as a telescope, but he had to see for himself how powerful the Ming army's navy was, so he had no choice but to approach the battlefield.

He has a geographical advantage. Even if he is close to the battlefield, he will not be spotted by the battlefield. Instead, he found a good position and can clearly see the battle on the battlefield.

"Although the Ming army and navy are not as good as ours, they should not be underestimated!"

Zhou Yu saw clearly, but there was a vigilance in his heart.

Ling Cao, Zhu Zhi and others also came to watch the battle with Zhou Yu, and they had to admit in their hearts that although the generals of the Ming army's navy were not as maneuverable as Wu Jun's in many areas, their overall strength was getting better and better than Wu Jun's.

"Did you find out!"

Ling Cao looked at the battlefield with sharp eyes, and said in a low voice: "As a whole, our army has an obvious advantage, but once we disperse a little, we will be somewhat disadvantaged. Zhou Tai's ability to control the field is definitely not bad, although the enemy general You can't underestimate it, you can disperse your forces, the test is not the ability of the leader, but the ability of the leader at the grassroots level!"

Both sides charge, if it is a collective fight, of course there is one voice, but as long as they are scattered a little, the voice of the young general below becomes very important.

This tests the ability of grassroots officers.

"The fighting power of the Ming army is the best in the world. One of the more important points is that the Ming army is very attentive to the training of generals. The Ming country has a military training hall. The military training hall is a place to train warriors. A general can charge on the battlefield. That's only secondary, being able to command troops to fight is the main ability!"

Zhou Yu sighed: "Your Majesty has tried to imitate the Ming Dynasty many times, establish Wu Beitang, and train warriors and generals, but he was opposed by all the ministers. It's a pity!"

Many people always believe that military generals come out of the battlefield, and only scholars come out of the academy.

So this point has not been recognized by many people.

However, there are policies and countermeasures. Although Sun Jian’s suggestion has not been adopted, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been preparing to conspire in the past two years to set up a military training hall in Chaisang.

Preparations have already begun, and Sun Ce is also preparing to take command in person, but at least he will have to wait until after the battle against Shanyue.

"Captain, the Ming army has withdrawn!"

At this time, the battlefield changed, and someone quickly reminded Zhou Yu.

"Order Zhou Tai, stay still and don't pursue!" Zhou Yu thought for a while and said.

"promise!"

The orderly sails into the battlefield to deliver orders.

"Captain, look, the main force of the Ming army seems to have moved, and they are moving eastward!"

"I see!"

Zhou Yu focused his eyes on the front, and could vaguely see the warships of the Ming army moving east from the mouth of the Yangtze River.

"go back!"

After a while, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

The generals followed Zhou Yu and returned to the main camp of the Chinese army, on the building ship, in this fighting ship.

Walking into the cabin of the building ship, Zhou Yu couldn't wait to flip through the topographic maps of Peng Ze and Peng Ze's surroundings, looking at them carefully one by one.

The generals looked at Zhou Yu's seriousness and persistence, but they didn't dare to interrupt easily.

After a while, Zhou Tai came in hastily: "Why, why do you want to withdraw, I can defeat them!"

He was furious.

All the generals are safe and sound.

Jiang Qin glanced at him, telling him to stay calm.

But Zhou Tai didn't care, he stared at Zhou Yu, and said viciously: "Commander, I want an analysis!"

His martial arts skills are unparalleled, and he was born as a pirate. He crossed the Yangtze River and killed officials. As far as courage is concerned, unless Sun Ce is here, no one can suppress him.

"Analysis?"

Zhou Yu raised his head and said lightly, "If I hadn't suppressed you and told you to continue chasing, I'm afraid by this time, your entire army will have already begun to be wiped out!"

"How is it possible?" Zhou Tai didn't believe it either.

"have a look!"

Zhou Yu threw out the topographic map in his hand: "What is the place that is less than twelve miles behind you?"

"Yangtze River Hedge?"

When the generals looked at it, they immediately shuddered.

This kind of hedge, after the Yangtze River water hedges left and right, forms an impact between Peng Ze and the impact of the water flow, which can instantly submerge the warship.

"We are all familiar with Pengze Lake. We have often avoided such turbulence, but once we fight, maybe some people will forget it!"

Zhou Yu's voice was low: "This is equivalent to giving them a chance. Once they fall into their trap, the whole army will be wiped out!"

This kind of water flow at the mouth is very impatient, especially in the rainy season, when the water level rises, causing some differences between the water levels, forming the impact of the water flow on the left and right sides, and even destroying a building ship.

very dangerous.

On the land, there is a landform that one man can guard against, and on the river, there are also vicious traps that cannot be seen, where one cannot miss a step.

"It was the last general who made a mistake!"

Zhou Tai is an upright person, he has a bad temper, but he will admit his mistakes: "Please punish me!"

"It's okay!"

Zhou Yu prefers generals like Zhou Tai, who are better than Jiang Qinzhong, who is gloomy and doesn't know what to plan all day long. At least such a person puts his unhappiness on the surface, and doesn't know how to insert a knife.

He said softly: "There is another reason why I prevent you from continuing to pursue, and that is that the main warships of the Ming army have already moved from the Yangtze River estuary next to Chaisang and the Yangtze River estuary next to Pengze. Can't see through their intentions!"

Pengze is a lake, a very large lake, covering at least three cities, mainly Chaisangkou and Pengzekou, with the entrance and exit of the Yangtze River on both sides.

"Could it be that there are suspicions?"

Ling Cao said in a low voice.

"I don't think so!" Zhu Zhi retorted: "The Ming army's move seems to avoid our main attack, but it is actually moving, and there must be their intentions!"

"I agree with General Zhu's idea!"

Zhou Yu said: "In the battle at the North Pass of Chaisang, they had already seized the opportunity by sneaking up on our army, but our main force was not damaged. It is too early to say whether we will win or lose this battle. If I were the general of the Ming army, He will not easily cut off his own retreat, you know, he let go of Chaisang mouth at this time, as long as I send troops from Chaisang to block the mouth of Chaisang Yangtze River, it is tantamount to closing the door and fighting tigers, and they have nowhere to escape, unless They have the confidence to win against us!"

"Could it be the overlord of Western Chu's ruin?" Jiang Qin said gloomyly.

The overlord of Western Chu's resignation is to cut off his own retreat, improve morale, and raise morale to the extreme. He is invincible and invincible.

The current situation looks really similar.
