Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311
On the north shore of Chaohu Lake, about forty miles north of here is Hefei.

Although there are also waterways connecting Chaohu to Hefei, before entering Chaohu Lake, the waterway is connected to the big river, which is relatively wide, and the waterway here is not as spacious as before entering Chaohu Lake.

Previously, the enemy's machine ballista and the opponent's method of blocking the river with iron cables and setting up wooden stakes at the bottom of the water could pose a great threat to the fleet, not to mention the opponent's Jiaolong who can control the water tribes on the river, so Sun Quan decided to go by land. It landed last night, but it has not moved.

"My lord, this is a secret letter from the governor. If you want a lowly position, you must hand it over to the lord." The soldiers who went to Moling to deliver the letter came back, and after seeing Sun Quan, they presented the letter Zhou Yu wrote to Sun Quan with both hands, and bowed.

"Oh?" Sun Quan took the letter, waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Here, resign from your humble position!" The soldiers saluted Sun Quan, Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi, then turned and left.

It was not until the soldiers left that Sun Quan opened Zhou Yu's letter. Although the two generals Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi were curious, they didn't want to come and read it together. They just hoped that Sun Quan could read it for himself.

"Gong Jin taught me to march cautiously. When fighting the enemy, we should try our best to focus on water warfare, draw the main force of the enemy army into the water, and use the water army to wear down the main force of the enemy army. Don't go ashore lightly." After reading the letter, Sun Quan said, Handing the letter to the second general, he said with a smile, "Unfortunately, if we go further north, the waterway will no longer be suitable for marching."

"Gongjin's words are true. My lord led the army for the first time. Naturally, it is easier to win because our army is superior and the enemy is weak. But now that our army is here, the enemy has set up more hidden stakes in the river, and there are iron chains. Hengjiang, if there is an ambush on both sides of the river, we can attack our army with arrow arrays, it is really difficult to march by water! It is a last resort to go by land." Cheng Pu handed the letter to Zhu Zhi and shook his head and sighed.

"After all, the governor is far away in Moling. I don't understand the specific situation here. Even if the river can walk, our army's [-] troops will be stretched in the river. The formation that can be used will become limited and it will no longer be suitable Combat." Zhu Zhi laughed after seeing it.

"Nowadays, the enemy army has been using organs to plot against, supplemented by ordinary miscellaneous soldiers to counteract. Along the way, almost no one has been seen." Cheng Pu recalled that almost all the troubles encountered along the way came from the opponent's organs and ballistas. Well, as for the army, it is some local miscellaneous soldiers, and it is not a threat at all if it is singled out.

"The general is saying that the Jianghuai land is empty?" Sun Quan frowned. He didn't think it would be so simple. He judged others by himself. , leaving an empty JAC for nothing.

"No, the last general means that the main force of the enemy army may be waiting for an opportunity to counterattack or garrison an important place. This place is behind Lu Bu. I don't know how far the battle in the Central Plains has come. That's what Gongjin is worried about!" Cheng Pu said in a deep voice.

He has cooperated with Zhou Yu for several years, and he still admires Zhou Yu's resourcefulness, but when it comes to leading troops, he doesn't think he is inferior to Zhou Yu.

"So that's it." Sun Quan suddenly nodded and said helplessly, "But the army has come here, even if they know that the front is not easy to attack, there is absolutely no reason to back down, what do you two generals think?"

"My lord's words are very true." Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi bowed in agreement.

"If there is nothing else, the two generals should go to rest. In the morning, our troops will be dispatched to Hefei!" Sun Quan pointed to the map and smiled.

Even without Zhou Yu reminding them of this, their next goal is also Hefei. They didn't realize it before, but after Lu Bu occupied Jiujiang, Jiangdong Wenwu gradually realized the importance of this place. It can be said that whoever occupies this place will be able to took the initiative.

And if the enemy has heavy troops, most of them will guard here. In other words, as long as Hefei is taken, the Jianghuai land will basically be taken. Chu Nan does not have so many troops left in Jianghuai!

"The lord also rested earlier, and I will retire!" Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi bowed.

Until the two left, the smile on Sun Quan's gentle face gradually faded away, and only the gloom remained in his eyes.

I thought that if Zhou Yu was separated from the army, he would not be able to influence him, but even if they were separated, Zhou Yu's influence would still be everywhere. Just look at the attitudes of Cheng Pu and Zhu Zhi just now.

Even Cheng Pu, who was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, became serious after reading Zhou Yu's letter, which shows that he attached great importance to Zhou Yu's reminder.

But this is not what Sun Quan wants. What he wants is that he can also replace Zhou Yu in the army. The soldiers trust and respect him first, and then Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others!
It's a pity that even though he was unwilling in his heart, Sun Quan could only accept this fact, and the matter could only be worked out slowly. If he was really asked to do something to Zhou Yu, he didn't want to, not only because of Zhou Yu's popularity, he would not surrender; more importantly What's more, Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu's talent was the pillar of Jiangdong, and his harm was the disaster of Jiangdong. Sun Quan would not do this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall, and he was unwilling to do it. He suppressed Zhou Yu just to consolidate his authority, not to Zhou Yu's life.

As long as he succeeds in attacking Jianghuai this time, he can gain enough prestige, even if he is not as good as his elder brother, he can overwhelm Zhou Yu. At that time, the situation will change completely!

Sun Quan firmly believed in his own judgment. The difference between him and the overlord of Jiangdong was just a battle to prove himself. As long as he won the two counties of Jianghuai in this battle, he would have no shortcomings and would be able to compete with Lu Bu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao. These Central Plains overlords are vying for the hegemony of the Jiangdong overlords!

But now, Sun Quan felt that he was the closest to the overlord of Jiangdong!
With longing for tomorrow's battle, Sun Quan fell asleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, Sun Quan mobilized all his troops and marched towards Hefei in a mighty manner.

"My lord, although this place is inconspicuous, it is the hub of the north and south. If you want to go to Hefei, you should go here first!" Cheng Pu looked at the terrain here. However, the terrain is the kind of place that must be contested. Cheng Pu can tell at a glance that if he wants to go to Hefei, he must first get this place.

"So that's how it is!" Sun Quan nodded, but he didn't care. After all, this place looks like a small pass, and he pointed his finger and said happily, "Who is willing to go to break this pass city? Whoever breaks this pass city should be remembered first." achievement!"

"My lord, rest for a while, the last general will go to destroy this city!" As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, he saw that among the generals, one of the generals led his troops out into battle. The city defense must be weak, so he didn't even use the siege equipment, and he directly formed a battle formation with his troops and rushed up, actually wanting to use the battle formation to directly attack the city wall!
On the tower of Xiaoyaojin City, Sun Quan was marching like this, naturally he was discovered by secret sentries along the way, and the fire alarm had already been issued. After receiving the news, Lu Lingqi brought the lieutenant generals to the tower. When they reached the city wall, everyone was a little stunned.

"Does this mean that there is no one in the city!?" A general looked at the Jiangdong army that was rushing straight, a little funny, the rammed earth city wall is indeed easy to break through, but that is when no one is defending, as long as there are people at the top of the city Being able to form an army formation, the way these gangs rush forward can't threaten the city wall at all, let alone knock down the city wall directly.

Lu Lingqi didn't speak, but raised her Fang Tian painted halberd high, the soldiers at the head of the city quickly formed small formations, and the small formations converged into large formations, and the faint golden light turned into an army formation, quickly spreading to the entire city wall, From a distance, it seems that a layer of gold has been pasted on the city wall.

General Jiangdong naturally also saw this scene and knew that it would be impossible to succeed. It would be death if he hit him like this. He immediately stopped his charge, and after patrolling the city for a while, he let go of his voice and said loudly: "The thief general in the city, how dare you come out of the city to fight with me?" World War I?"

"General, I'm going to meet him for a while!" A general couldn't bear this man's arrogance, and shouted at Lu Lingqi to fight.

Lu Lingqi didn't answer, she didn't even look at the provocative Jiangdong general, her eyes looked at the direction of the Jiangdong army formation, and after a while, she pointed to the direction of the Jiangdong army formation and looked at Liu Ye beside her, saying: "Sir, Jiangdong Why is the army lining up like this? Is there something mysterious about it?"

Liu Ye looked far away, but saw that although the Jiangdong Army was surrounded by military formations, when he looked carefully, they were spliced ​​together one by one. The army was not a whole, but divided into several groups.

Although it is an army, it can also be regarded as a collection of more than a dozen groups of people, like a dozen neat stones piled together, which looks like a stone slab.

Liu Ye pondered and said: "The military system of the Jiangdong army is like this. Each general leads the soldiers of each general. This is flexible and changeable in water battles. Even if one army is severely injured, the rest of the army will not be affected."

Lu Lingqi nodded thoughtfully, she was an amateur in water warfare, and then frowned and said: "Sir, last time our army also fought against the Jiangdong Army. Although there were not many soldiers and horses in the Jiangdong Army at that time, there were many generals. It was not like this at that time. Usually."

"The military system of the Jiangdong Army relies heavily on the commander's ability, especially in this land battle." Liu Ye explained with a smile: "During the water battle, this kind of independent battle does not have high requirements for the commander. Just how to intersperse, and the rest will be carried out by the generals, but the water is mainly ships, and it is not easy to control, but on the shore, this method is not enough for the generals to cooperate. It may be self-conflicting, so the requirements for the general's ability are quite high!"

After Liu Ye finished speaking, he looked at the Lian Mian army formation and said with a smile: "Looking at the world, apart from that Jiangdong Zhou Lang, there are really not many people who can perfectly control this army!"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Lingqi looked at the battle formation opposite and said, "That is to say, as long as the commander's flag is destroyed, these formations will fight on their own?"

"Probably so, but that Zhou Yu is no one to wait for nothing!" Liu Ye looked at Lu Lingqi and understood Lu Lingqi's intention: "Madam, have you ever thought about it?"

"You have to try it yourself!" Lu Lingqi mentioned Fang Tian's painted halberd and said, "Kaicheng, I will personally fight this battle!"
