Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1866

When Sun Ce attacked Yudu City, Jianye in Jiangdong was also undergoing the final test, and the offensive and defensive sides just turned around, attacking the main force of the two naval divisions of the Ming army, Jingping and Baoxiong.

The first battle broke out at the Yangtze Estuary.

The main general in the Battle of the Yangtze Estuary was He Qi.

He Qi is considered one of the best generals in Jiangdong, second only to Sun Ce Taishici, and to a certain extent, He Qi is even more capable than Sun Ce Taishici.

But in this battle, He Qi was defeated again.

Regardless of the military spirit, fighting spirit, strength of the warships, and tactics, the Ming army has completely defeated the Wu army. Even if the Wu army had some geographical advantages, it was still defeated in the end.

He Qi's reaction was quick. At the last moment, he forced a bloody path and took the few thousand remnants back to the Yangtze River and back to Jianye Capital.

Since then, there has been no force on the Yangtze River that can stop the Ming army's warships. The Ming army's warships drove straight in, entered directly from the mouth of the Yangtze River, and then went straight to Jianyedu along the Yangtze River.

In less than five days, the warships of the Ming army had directly broken through the stone city and once again entered under the gate of Jianye Capital.

This is the second time that the navy of the Ming army has attacked Jianyedu.

The first time they raided was very ferocious, and directly killed Sun Jian, the king of Wu, and finally burned the Jianye with a torch.

That was also the first time that the navy of the Ming army showed absolute power.

But this time, instead of relying on speed and surprise, they came directly and forcefully from the East China Sea. They have gone through several battles at the Yangtze River Estuary, broke through the Yangtze River Estuary, defeated the Wu Army Navy, and approached the city.

Such strength made Wu Guochaotang's heart shine even more.

Even if He Qi led his troops to break through the siege and return to Jianye Capital, Jianye Capital would still be in chaos, because at this time, there were not even [-] troops in Jianye Capital.

The battlefield in the north, together with Sun Ce's surprise attack into Yudu City, Wu Guo has gathered all the troops, and the backyard was a little empty.

In addition, over the years, the Wu army has lost a lot of people's hearts after losing consecutive battles, and the calm mountain is getting more and more ups and downs.

Another point is that they are a bit ruthless when targeting the Jiangdong family. At this time, they can't restrain the family members of the Quartet, the gentry and the rich, and they have become self-reliant.

Such a state of Wu is already in a precarious situation under the situation of internal and external troubles. It is only by relying on ministers like Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Gu Yong that the situation can be stabilized.

But now when the main force of the Ming army really approached the city, the entire Wu Kingdom suddenly exploded like a blown balloon.

The key is that no one can hold the situation.

He Qi's defeat, Sun Ce, Tai Shici and others are gone, the generals have lost a lot of influence, and the whole Jianye seems to have only one Sun Quan as the core, but Sun Quan's prestige is still not enough to suppress the hearts of the people .

When the Ming army approached the city again, both the big households in the city and the people in the city began to find ways to escape outside.

After all, let them have a lesson once.

When the Ming army came to the city, they just didn't take it seriously, and finally hit Chi Yu, causing countless deaths and injuries, and countless family members died in that battle.

So this time, they learned to be smart. When the warships of the Ming army crossed the Yangtze River, they had already begun to flee Jianyedu and went south for refuge one after another.

Even some officials in the court of the Wu Kingdom chose to flee one after another. After all, they had lost all confidence in fighting the Ming army.

Facing the turmoil in Jianye Capital, the Ming army had some ideas. They stationed troops directly outside the city, stood still, but kept oppressive, as if they felt like letting the bullets fly for a while.

And it was this atmosphere that made Jianye more and more addicted to a feeling of fear.

…………

outside the city.

On the Qinhuai River.

This river allowed the warships of the Ming army to enter Jianyedu directly from the Yangtze River. Of course, large-scale building ships would definitely not be able to enter, and only some small double-toothed warships could enter.

The densely packed double-tooth warships, big and small, seemed to cover the entire river.

They camped on the water.

It is convenient for attack and retreat.

Once camped on the shore, if any accident occurs, it may be a little troublesome to withdraw, so it is better to keep the offensive at this time and keep the warships coming and going freely.

On the deck, there are two main generals standing, looking at the city wall ahead.

On the left is Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang was wearing battle armor, holding a sword hilt in his hand, and the helmet on his head had been taken off, revealing a heroic and elegant face. It seems a little rough, but the refined scholarly temperament in him is hard to be erased.

On the right is Gan Ning.

Gan Ning is a military commander, he now has that fierce fighting spirit all over his body, the light in his pupils is full of fighting intent, he can't wait to eat this city.

"It's back again!"

Gan Ning suddenly sighed, "It doesn't seem like a long time has passed!"

"I feel like it's been too long!"

Zhuge Liang responded faintly. He looked at the city: "Last time, I couldn't turn it into the city of Daming. This time, I won't let it have any chance to refuse to plant our battle flag of Ming!"

"indeed!"

Gan Ning grinned brightly, and said, "This time, the Heavenly King and I can't stop us from taking down Jianye Capital and destroying the State of Wu!"

"It's just a pity!"

He sighed again: "Sun Bofu is not here, otherwise it would be even better!"

"He is now in Yudu City!"

Zhuge Liang gritted his teeth and said: "I didn't expect him to have such courage. If I knew, I would have attacked Jianye Capital. No matter what I said, it would be impossible for him to enter along the Yangtze River!"

The news delivered by Jing Wusi was relatively quick.

At this time, Sun Ce's position, Zhou Yu's position, including any position where Wu Jun might form a force, they were all clear.

"If we can get everything we want, it won't be an accident!"

Gan Ning shook his head: "We are indeed responsible for this matter, but until now, we can only trust the elders in Zhaoming Pavilion. After all, none of those old guys are vegetarians. They live in Yudu City. There shouldn't be any big problems. Besides, General Huang Zhong has led his army back. I believe that Sun Bofu may not be able to walk to the bottom of our Yudu City. Even if he can, he has not entered the city. ability!"

"This is the only way to go now!"

Zhuge Liang is also helpless, some things, if he misses half a step, he can't keep up, and he can't let go now, should he give up the opportunity to win Wu.

At this time, it doesn't make much sense to pursue him, and he finally created an opportunity to destroy Wu, so he can't let it go.

"When do we attack?"

Gan Ning asked.

Regarding the arrangement of strategies and tactics, Gan Ning has absolute trust in Zhuge Liang. He knows very well that he is a master of layout and is very good at layout. He feels much more comfortable working with such a person.

As long as Zhuge Liang gave the conditions, he just worked hard to do it. He didn't have to think too much, and he didn't have to think too much about the strategic impact, which eventually led to being tied up.

"hold on!"

Zhuge Liang looked in the direction of the city, and a slight smile rose from the corner of his mouth, which was a bit sinister: "Sometimes the siege does not attack, but it is the biggest attack. If we maintain this pressure, Jianye will not attack itself." broken!"

"Self-defeating?"

Gan Ning wondered, "Is there such a good thing?"

"In a war, talents are the foundation, so in many cases, attacking the mind is the top priority, and attacking the city is the bottom. At this time, we maintain pressure, and they are the ones who can't stop it!" Zhuge Liang said analytically: "As long as they get messed up, then There is no need for us to attack at all, someone will open the city gate for us and welcome us into the city!"

"Wu Guochaotang still has some talents. Can people like Zhang Zhao lose control of Jianyedu?" Gan Ning was still a little skeptical.

"Talents are indeed talents, but under the general trend, geniuses are useless!" Zhuge Liang sneered: "Once people's hearts are in chaos, how can it be so easy to hold back, besides, Wu Guochao itself is now a torn apart. Zhou Gongjin killed too hard at the beginning, and it's time for the aristocratic family to take revenge!"

"There are so many twists and turns!"

Gan Ningkong smiled wryly.

"A war, how can it be so simple, we want to take down Jianyedu, take down the country of Wu, but don't want our soldiers to sacrifice too much, so we can only plan carefully and use all the conditions that are beneficial to us !"

Zhuge Liang talked eloquently.

"have to!"

Gan Ning cupped his hands: "I'll leave you to worry about these things. When it's time to attack the city, just say a word, and I'll have nothing to say!"

I don't want to hang out with smart people, it's better to be honest at this time.

Gan Ning is like a fool with great wisdom.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Maybe you don't need to attack the city, but I will leave it to you to be the first to enter the city!"

"rest assured!"

Gan Ning patted his chest and said, "I promise to make them submissive!"

"The wind is blowing!"

Zhuge Liang stretched out his hand, felt the slightly stirring wind, and said, "I don't know if this Wu Guochaotang can last for a few more days!"

This wind, once swept through.

At that time, people's hearts will naturally be in turmoil.

It will be sooner or later that Jianye will be in chaos, and it will not be too late. In less than two days, Jianye can vaguely see the momentum of turmoil.

"Where is the king!"

"Where is the military advisor Zhou Gongjin!"

"General Tai Shici has always been brave and good at fighting. If he were here, these Ming troops would not be so arrogant!"

"The enemy army is approaching the city, but our general seems to have disappeared!"

"Did you run away for your life?"

"Could it be that if even the king can't defeat the Ming army, then we Jianye can still keep it!"

"Let's fight together, we have been innocent!"

Instant gossip and wailing filled the city.

royal palace.

Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and the others had dead gray faces, but Sun Quan, who was in prison, was very calm, as if he had already expected this day, so he was not surprised at all.

"What should come will always come!"

Sun Quan's mind was also a little bitter.

Even if you know the result, when the result comes, you will always feel uncomfortable and unwilling.

Struggling to this point.

He seemed to have no will to fight anymore.

So he is very quiet.

After a while, someone spoke. He stood up, looked at Zhang Zhao, and asked, "Prime Minister Zhang, where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is currently fighting outside!"

Zhang Zhao responded in a low voice.

"Jianyedu is the capital of Wu, and the people of Jianyedu are the people of Wu. As the king of Wu, he is not in Jianyedu or Wu, but he is fighting outside. Does he want to abandon his people? No?"

This is a bit heavy.

Many people at the scene have changed their complexions.

When Sun Ce entered Xudu alone, some people were dissatisfied, but at that time, Sun Ce was domineering and had a lot of prestige, and many people recognized his alliance, so even if they were unwilling or opposed, they could only suppress it.

However, this time, when the Ming army approached the city, they did not see the king stepping forward to suppress the hearts of the people, and they suddenly exploded.

"The situation in the world does not belong to our Wu Kingdom. What the King does is for the betterment of the people of the Wu Kingdom. He put himself in danger to catch them by surprise!"

Zhang Zhao said coldly: "I'm not afraid to tell you that he is now attacking the capital of the Ming court. If he can break the capital of the Ming court, then all the pressure will be relieved!"

"Humph!"

Someone snorted coldly: "It's simple to say, when the king breaks through Yudu City, my Jianye has been reduced to a sea of ​​flames. They can burn Jianye once, can't they burn it a second time!"

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Zhang Zhao clapped his hands coldly, gave a cold drink, and said, "I'm still here, what do you have to be afraid of, and even though Your Majesty is attacking Yudu City, Zhou Gongjin has already led the army back to the division, and it will take a few days. , you can go south from Runan, cross Jiujiang, and return to Jiangdong!"

He forcibly encouraged everyone's fighting spirit: "Everyone, as long as we persist for two or three days, the siege of Jianye Capital will break through if you don't understand it, so you don't have to worry too much!"

All the ministers heard the words and looked at each other, but they were a little hesitant, whether to believe or not, they all turned in their minds.

Zhang Zhao seized the opportunity and continued, "Everyone is my Minister of Wu, and it is my duty to defend Wu. Now that the city is still intact, why are you so worried? Now the first priority is to stabilize the hearts of the people and guard the city wall!"

"Yes!"

The ministers had no choice but to grit their teeth and respond.

Zhang Zhao's prestige is very high, even if they have doubts, but Zhang Zhao dares to say so, they can only agree first.

When all the ministers dispersed.

Sun Quancai asked Zhang Zhao in a low voice: "Zhou Gongjin won't come back!"

"do not know!"

Zhang Zhao responded faintly.

He never thought of hiding Sun Quan, anyone can hide it, but he can't hide it from Sun Quan, in this Jianye Capital, the only one who can make up his mind is Sun Quan.

"If you don't know, you have no news!"

Sun Quan understood: "There are more bad luck than good luck!"

"At least there is hope!"

Zhang Zhao said.

"Why deceive yourself!" Sun Quan shook his head: "You know, I know, don't say they can't come back, even if they come back, they can't stop it, right!"

"The second prince is really smart!"

Zhang Zhaodao: "There is news that the Wei army has defeated the Shangdang army, and the Ming army has won a complete victory!"

"That means the situation is settled!"

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized that he sighed: "My poor brother, let alone whether he can walk to the city of Yudu, even if he breaks Yudu, he won't be able to get out!"
