Chapter 1359 The Battle of Chaisang VII

The night on Pengze Lake was brightened by streaks of flames, which illuminated half of the sky.

"kill!"

"Come on!"

"Smash them to death!"

"Archer, up!"

"Spear throw!"

The sound of killing and cutting in the roar is constantly reverberating.

The war is in full swing.

"So fierce?" This scene was somewhat beyond Zhuge Liang's expectations. He could have expected the Wu army's navy to attack, but he hadn't expected the ferocity of Wu's army.

This is not a night attack, nor is it a sneak attack.

Rather, it was a fight to the death with ferocity.

"Shouldn't be!"

Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes. He picked up the binoculars and scanned the surroundings. He watched the battleships start to clash one after another. His eyes became more and more puzzled: "What does Zhou Gongjin want to do?"

For the enemy general Zhou Yu, long before the start of the battle, the information had been placed in front of him in detail. He had read it countless times, and he could even recite it backwards.

But the more he understands this, the more he dare not underestimate this general.

This is a smart general.

He didn't believe that Zhou Yu would use his emotions at this time. Under this kind of night, under such conditions and morale, it would be detrimental to Wu Jun to confront him head-on.

Even if the Wu army wins in the end, it will inevitably pay more than twice as many casualties as the Ming army.

Such a loss-making business.

Zhou Gongjin is such a shrewd person, should he go back and do it?
Do not!
Zhuge Liang believed that Zhou Yu must have a purpose that he wanted, and this purpose must not be small, so he had to be careful.

"General Zhonglang, the enemy has been spotted on the east wing. The warship has crossed Liangxikou and is approaching the main positions of the Seventh Battalion and Eighth Battalion!"

Scout to report.

"what?"

When Zhuge Liang was still inspecting Zhou Yu's mind, a scout's report almost beat him to death.

I always thought that I hid my strategic purpose very well.

Unexpectedly, this Zhou Yu was so sensitive, and he found out his intention so easily, which also made Zhuge Liang feel a little frustrated.

"How many troops are there?"

Zhuge Liang looked to the east. Although the binoculars were good, they couldn't see much in the dark. Wu Jun's warships obviously relied on their experience. They sailed in the dark with little light, which made them much more secretive.

"It's not clear yet, but there are at least hundreds of warships and no less than [-] soldiers of the Wu army, storming the Seventh Battalion's position!"

"Let Fan Nian and the others hold on!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, he couldn't be messed up at this time, he squinted his eyes, and scanned the surrounding warships, whether it was the main battlefield or the east wing battlefield, they were obviously fighting fiercely.

This illustrates a point.

Zhou Yu is not sure, he is guessing and testing.

"promise!"

The orderly sent the order quickly.

"General Zhonglang, on the main battlefield, the enemy has pushed up all the buildings and ships. The third and fourth battalions of our army have been forced to retreat for a while, and they are currently retreating three miles. They have exchanged space for a lot of time to breathe!"

A general came up to report the situation of the battle.

"Let the Jingzhou go up. Since you have been forced to retreat three miles away, then retreat another three miles and see the enemy's reaction!" Zhuge Liang narrowed his eyes and became extremely calm: "If the enemy dares to drive straight in, Then hit me hard!"

Two building ships.

There is a Violent Bear, and one is old, used to commemorate Jingzhou, and it can be regarded as a chicken soup for the soul of those who surrendered from Jingzhou. It is called Jingzhou, and it is not large in scale, just a three-story ship.

However, a building boat is always a building boat. In a confrontation on such an open water, a building boat can resist the attack of more than ten fighting ships, and it also has a very important meaning. belong to a core.

"promise!"

The general took the order, quickly returned to the front line, and informed the military orders with several school lieutenants.

"General Zhonglang, I feel something is wrong!"

The several lieutenants around Zhuge Liang, whether they were generals, military directors, instructors, etc., all focused on the rhythm of this battle. During the battle, any position is not important, the important thing is to win. Only by working together can we win.

They are all analyzing the situation.

One person is short, others are long.

"Wu Jun is testing us!" Zhuge Liang said in a low voice: "I guess, they will focus on the east flank and break through the Yangtze River estuary next!"

"Have they guessed our intention?"

The faces of the generals changed slightly.

"It's too early to say that I guessed it, but it is undeniable that our combat intentions have been exposed. What they need is to verify their thoughts!"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and said, "And what we have to do now is to delay them, time is very important to us!"

This battle is getting more and more interesting.

Tonight, this is not just a war, but also a confrontation between the two main generals. Such things as intentions are often manifested in contingencies. Whoever guesses whose intentions first will win the advantage.

On the battlefield, it is a contest between life and life. Between life and death, there is a difference of thousands of miles. The advantage is very important. The east wind beats the west wind, or the west wind beats the east wind. In fact, the difference is just one With the weight of a grass rope, whoever gains the advantage first will win first.

………………

Behind Wu Jun, on a building boat.

Zhou Yu stood on the deck, letting the cold wind blow by, staring fixedly at the front. The battle ahead was fierce, but the specific situation could only be transmitted back one after another, not as clear as if he was there.

But as the chief general, he is not a ferocious general. If he goes to the front at this time, even a cold arrow will kill his life, let alone his own death, and even cause the entire army to collapse.

Naturally, he couldn't do such a thing.

He must hold his breath and command every battle well to bring about victory. Zhou Yu knew this very well in his heart.

"Report to the governor!"

The scout boats came back and forth, bringing back the news ahead: "General Ling Cao has broken through Liangxikou, and is now engaged in confrontation with Ming warships!"

"Explore again!"

"promise!"

"Report to the governor, General Zhou Tai and General Jiang Qin have led the main force of the army to forcibly break through the obstruction of the Ming army's central army. The main force of the Ming army has retreated three miles, and General Zhou Tai is pursuing!"

"Where will the main force of the Ming army withdraw?"

"north!"

"Is it true north?"

"Yes!"

"Understood, ordered General Zhou Tai to allow the pursuit, but not to forcibly cross five miles to pursue, and his main warship must keep in line with General Jiang Qin's main force!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Yu's pupils flickered more and more.

"Captain, is there a problem?" Zhu Zhi looked at Zhou Yu and asked in a low voice.

He is responsible for the reception tonight.

Now that both battlefields have made breakthroughs, there is no need for his reserve army to play. He has been standing by Zhou Yu's side, waiting for the news from the front line to come back.

"If what they care about is the Yangtze River estuary, at this time, the main force should be concentrated on the east wing instead of going north. If the main battlefield moves to the north, it will be easily cut off!"

Zhou Yu's face was a little gloomy: "Once our army's surprise soldiers come out and cut off the connection between the two battlefields, they will definitely not be able to keep the Yangtze River Estuary. This is not in line with my guess about their intentions!"

"Maybe we guessed wrong!"

Zhu Zhi thought for a while, and said: "I still don't believe that the Ming army will seek death. After all, once they are locked in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River by us, they will have no other way but to wait for death!"

"That's right, it's too early to tell!"

Zhou Yu calmed down and said, "Since they are not in a hurry, I can take my time. I don't believe they can sit still!"

He thought for a while, and said: "Immediately send an order to Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to slow down the attack, order Ling Cao to strengthen the attack, and take the Yangtze Estuary at any cost!"

"Since the two battlefields can be cut off, I can attack!" Zhu Zhi said.

"No!"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "It's not difficult to cut off the connection between the two battlefields, but the difficulty is whether there will be a trick in it. If this is a trap they set for us, we are going to deliver food, so even if I know there is I can't take any chances like this. On the battlefield, it's better to be more stable. Now I have obvious advantages. Whether it's geographical advantages or military advantages, they are all above them. Let's spend it first and see their reactions. the most important!"

"But if this fight continues, the casualties of our army will always be higher than theirs. Even if they are wiped out at the end, my Chaisang navy army will probably be disabled!" Zhu Zhi said worriedly.

"This is the only way to fight. Even if there are many casualties, it must be fought like this. On the battlefield today, it is no matter who can hold his breath and who can't hold his breath first!" Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of decisive light in his eyes, said. : "At least I can't let him see that I don't want to fight!"

Indeed, he didn't want to fight. At present, he could obviously kill the enemy by closing the door and beating dogs. Why should he fight? Why should there be such a large number of casualties.

Little is the best way.

But this kind of combat intention cannot be exposed. Once exposed, the Ming army can hold him seven inches, and will use any means to force him to change his strategic deployment.

Once the strategic deployment changes, it will be chaotic. At this time, it is easy to have the opportunity to be defeated by others.

Losing on the battlefield is often like this.

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

The night passed quickly.

It was almost dawn, and there was still a period of darkness before dawn. In this dark sky, I couldn't even see a little starlight, and I couldn't see my fingers.

But the surface of Pengze Lake was still bright, and the flames of war seemed to illuminate the entire lake.

"The attack speed slowed down on the main battlefield. It seems that they want to consume us. This Wu Guoshui army is well-deserved!" Zhuge Liang stood on the deck, feeling a little bitter.

He didn't mind Wu Jun's sneak attack.

I don't mind Wu Jun working hard.

But Wu Jun's exhaustion of him like this has hit him a little bit. Zhou Gongjin's calculations are too good, even though he knows that he is testing himself.

But I still have to make a decision.

"General Zhonglang, the Seventh Battalion has already withdrawn from the range of the enemy's attack, and the Eighth Battalion has taken up the position of facing the enemy directly, but the Wu army's attack is too fierce. If this continues, our army will lose the Yangtze River Estuary !"

A general couldn't help but speak.

News from the Seventh Battalion and the Eighth Battalion has been sent back, and every news may not be good news.

"No one is made of iron!"

Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and said, "Tell the Seventh Battalion and the Eighth Battalion that they must block it!"

He can't increase his troops. Once he increases his troops, it will be tantamount to revealing his intentions. That's when the decisive battle will come. At that time, it will become a little difficult for him to delay the Wu Guoshui army.

"General Zhonglang, the situation is a bit critical now, can we..." A general, a very young general, who graduated from Hanzhong Wubei Hall less than half a year, stood up, cupped his hands and said to Zhuge Liang: "Can we choose?" Another way to break the situation!"

"any solution?"

Zhuge Liang looked at the young general.

He knew that this young general, Wu Han, was originally a member of a noble family, from Guanzhong, his family was ruined due to the war, and he ended up living in Hanzhong. Participate in subordinates.

"attack!"

Wu Han cupped his hands and said, "Since the intention has been revealed, let's disrupt what they think their intention is, fight out alone, and take a risk!"

"No, we don't have such troops!"

"Even if we attack, it's too risky. On the contrary, Wu Jun may seize the opportunity!"

"Although the current situation is somewhat different from what we expected, it is still under our control. Such a risk will fall short and affect the strategy of the war!"

Many generals objected.

Zhuge Liang fell into thinking. Following this thinking, he found some breakthroughs that he couldn't take care of. Once people's thinking is limited, they will actually miss a lot of ideas.

Even if you are as smart as Zhuge Liang, who is said to be so wise that you are close to a monster, sometimes your thinking cannot be comprehensive, and there will be gaps, and someone needs to be reminded at this time.

General Wu Han's reminder came just in time.

"That's it!"

Zhuge Liang put his thoughts aside in his own mind, became a little excited, and couldn't help crying out.

"General Zhonglang?"

The generals were a little worried, and looked at Zhuge Liang in confusion.

"Don't worry!" Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "I'm not so impulsive. It's not a good idea to counterattack the enemy's main formation at this time, but counterattack is right!"

"How to say?"

The eyes of the generals became brighter and brighter. For Zhuge Liang, they trusted him. This is a young man who has emerged in his youth. He directly hired Wen, a well-known general in Jingzhou, to a ruthless person who was pressed on the ground and rubbed directly. Naturally, it is powerful.

"There is one thing that General Wu Han said is correct. We need to change our tactics. In order to cover our strategic goals, we need to change our formation!" Zhuge Liang was a quick-moving person, and he directly ordered: "Order the third battalion and the fourth battalion. Abandon the position and join the middle army of the Violent Bear!"

"promise!"

"Order the Fifth Battalion and the Sixth Battalion to entangle the main force of the Wu army head-on, just entangle them!"

"promise!"

"Ghost Bear, get ready!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes flickered, looking ahead, the light flickered, and said: "Attack Liangxikou!"

That's an opening in Pengze Lake.

The key point is that the two creek mouths still face the direction of Pengzecheng.

In addition, the main force of the Wu army is currently attacking the Yangtze River Estuary, and the main force cannot respond back and forth. Once Liangxikou is captured, the troops on the east wing battlefield will fall into the encirclement of the main force of the Ming army.

That is a very dangerous thing.

In other words, once the Ming army forms a paddock, it is very likely that it can directly consume this part of the force.
