I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 641, the situation is difficult

Wen Chou's words made everyone excited. Jingzhou is located in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, and directly occupying Jingzhou is equivalent to dividing the entire Han into three unconnected states and counties. In this way, the Han army will be defeated one by one by their superior forces. They made the first contribution to unifying the world.

But Yan Liang said hesitantly: "It's not difficult to defeat Zhang Fei, and it's not too difficult to even annihilate Zhang Fei's army."

Although Xu Wei did not send out Yang Feng's Yuzhou army in the past two years, Yang Feng did not do nothing in Yuzhou for the past two years. Instead, he sent a large number of spies to investigate the situation in Jingzhou. Although Yang Feng and the others cannot He said he knew everything about Jingzhou, but he still knew some simple information, such as Jingzhou's military strength, weapons and equipment, and the strength of defense lines in various places. Yang Feng did everything to prepare for the attack on Jingzhou!

The generals present all had a general understanding of Jingzhou's situation. It would not be difficult for them to defeat Zhang Fei's army, but if they only took Jingzhou, it would be very troublesome.Jingzhou has a large population and a vast territory, thousands of miles from east to west, and more than 3000 miles from north to south. This is already larger than the two states in the Central Plains. Moreover, there are many swamps and lakes, and there are many mountains and hills in the south of Jingzhou. It is troublesome to hinder them from attacking Jingzhou.

Yan Liang continued: "It is very difficult for us to invade Jingzhou. Besides the terrain, the local elites hate us even more. If we invade Jingzhou, they will definitely recruit people to defend the city. The entire Jingzhou It is said that it has a population of 600 million, which is the most populous state in Jiangnan, and it is also the most populous state even including us!"

Although Dagan now has a population of 3000 million, the distribution of the population is relatively even. Most states have 200-300 million people. Even the most populous Bingzhou, under Xu Wei's policy of continuously relocating people over the years, there are only 500 million people left. With a population of over [-], Jingzhou is the most populous state in the world in terms of population alone!

"When it's time to break Jingzhou, the nobles and nobles will definitely arm the people to defend the city. Although these civilians are poor in combat effectiveness, they can still display their combat effectiveness if they are used to defend the city, let alone the Yangtze River defense line. Xiangyang The city has been repaired by Liu Bei for more than 10 years, and it is very difficult to break through Xiangyang City, if we encounter the rainy season like last time, and then encounter the plague, I am afraid that we will return home in defeat."

Regarding the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, all the generals frowned. Last time they were about to take down the entire Nanyang County, but because of the outbreak of the plague, they failed. Even the conquered Nanyang County town also withdrew. Yang Feng and the others obviously don't want to go through it again!

Wang Dang, who just came from Yuzhou, said: "It seems that Zhang Fei's troops are not the main obstacle when we attack Jingzhou, but the terrain and climate of Jingzhou are!"

Yang Fengdao: "We have also made some preparations these years. Not only have we recruited a large number of soldiers in the south of Yuzhou, but we have even mobilized a large number of Jingzhou people to come to Yuzhou in recent years. Now the army of Yuzhou has a large number of Jingzhou people. It may be unacceptable.”

Wang Dangdao: "It's not so complicated to think about it. Now Jingzhou only has 5 troops, and most of them are not strong in combat power. Zhang Fei is still taking the initiative to attack. At least 3 to [-] people will attack in Jingzhou. As long as we wipe out this army In other words, the remaining soldiers in Jingzhou are no more than [-] to [-] soldiers. It is impossible to defend the nine counties of Jingzhou with only [-] people, so we only need to attack head-on, what can the Jingzhou army do to stop it!"

"It just so happens that our naval fleet is almost built. When Zhang Fei's army is wiped out, our navy can completely surround the entire Xiangyang. Xiangyang City without a navy has no danger to defend, and our artillery It is more powerful. Xiangyang City has been breached, how many people in Jingzhou want to resist, I am afraid that they will surrender."

When Wang Dang said this, everyone remembered that the hard power of the Yuzhou Army is more than ten times stronger than that of the Jingzhou Army. It is so troublesome to think about it and directly summon 20 troops to smash it.Zhang Fei couldn't resist this strength at all.

After the generals unified their thinking, Yang Feng said with great emotion: "Okay, the mobilization order for the entire Yuzhou is issued. This time, our Yuzhou army will make the first contribution!"

Following Yang Feng's order, the powerful war machine in Yuzhou was activated. Soldiers began to prepare weapons and equipment, and the army began to mobilize food and grass.

At the same time, Guan Yu of Wanling, Danyang County, Yangzhou, received Liu Bei's order.

"The situation of the big man is really difficult!" Guan Yu sighed after receiving Liu Bei's order.

Compared with the reckless Zhang Fei, he thought more, knowing that he could not severely damage Xuzhou's army, it was impossible to mobilize the entire army, and even Yangzhou was not safe!

And the micro situation he faced was more dangerous than Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei only needed to guard the direction of Nanyang County, but Guan Yu's army occupied Yizhou because of the large army, and Fan Xian's naval fleet continued to occupy the surrounding areas of Yangzhou. The island has formed a series of encirclement circles, making Yangzhou surrounded on both sides.

Especially Baoxin in Yizhou was even more ambitious. Guan Yu relocated the people of Dongzhi County in order to prevent the large army, and used the method of sea ban to isolate the threat of Yizhou to Yangzhou.But he never expected that Bao Xin led his officials to occupy Dongzhi County, and now he is recruiting refugees everywhere, planning to take root in Yangzhou.

It's not that Guan Yu has never thought about counterattacking Bao Xin, but if he wants to go to Dongzhi, he can only attack by sea, but now Yangzhou overseas is doing a lot of naval control. He dispatched Yangzhou navy and Fan Xian's navy to fight, trying to break this situation.

But just like Fan Xian's navy, it is difficult to exert its full combat effectiveness on the front line of the Yangtze River.The Yangtze River Navy went to sea, and it was difficult to display [-]% of its strength, but Fan Xian's warships were naturally adapted to combat at sea, and the cooperation with naval guns was even more powerful.

At sea, Fan Xian's fleet has strong guns, and its originally bulky body has become extremely flexible and fast after coming to the sea. The Yangzhou Navy is actually inferior to Fan Xian's navy in terms of maneuverability, and the firing range of its artillery is also smaller. Not as good as a big cannon.

So during the battle, the Yangzhou navy was destroyed by the fierce naval guns of the Dagan army before they got close to the naval warships of the Dagan army. The encirclement, but the three battles were defeated, which made Fan Xian let out a bad breath.

This made Guan Yu extremely uncomfortable. Not only was Yangzhou surrounded on both sides, but he even lost the food supplements of struvite and sea fish. , Guan Yu has also been thinking about how to break the current situation in Yangzhou!
