The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Capture Jiangdong Army

An ambush in water warfare is not like on land. Not to mention that it is difficult to know the opponent's marching route in time like on land, but it is impossible to hide and ambush on the unobstructed water surface.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the siege of the opponent.

As for sending people to dive and ambush, that is even more of a joke. The icy river water is enough to freeze and drown anyone who wants to do this, no matter how capable the navy is, it is impossible to do so.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Wei Tao to imagine ambushing the opponent like on land.

"Besides, since Sun Quan has made a plan for the next day's battle, I am afraid that the opponent will come tonight. After resting for a day or two, he will just start a war with our army. Without any preparations, even if Xingba is transferred, it is impossible to immediately fight to defeat the opponent."

After explaining Wei Tao, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and said, but Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all, and then he looked slowly speaking.

"Although it can't be an ambush, it's not impossible. Now that Sun Quan is really angry and wants to fight our army, he will definitely go out of the city to fight. Although he hastily dispatched troops, he has the advantage , but this tired army is no match for the lord, let alone now I have a plan, if it works, then Sun Quan may not be able to fight the lord by then."

"Oh? The plan will be released?"

Wei Tao's eyes lit up slightly, as expected, Zhou Yu was worthy of him, and he had a trick in his backhand.

"ambush."

As soon as Zhou Yu said it, Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment. Zhou Yu had just told him that an ambush was impossible, and in a blink of an eye he suggested an ambush to him. How could Wei Tao not be stunned?

Fortunately, Zhou Yu himself knew that his words were somewhat inconsistent, so he immediately explained it to Wei Tao.

"My lord, it's impossible to ambush on the water. Although I have confidence in Xingba, the Jiangdong navy has a great reputation after all. It is not easy to say that it can win, but what if it is on land? What about the strength of the Jiangdong army? However, my lord knows all about it. In a fight on this land, does my lord think that I can match the master's army?"

"Ambush on the shore?"

Wei Tao was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Zhou Yuqian meant, but he still asked with some doubts.

"Gongjin means that the navy didn't go all the way to Jiangxia City?"

"My lord, if you win Jiangdong Sun Quan, then should you quietly move your troops into the city to directly reveal that your strength is superior to ours in the next day's battle, or let Jiangdong's reinforcements lie behind our army and wait until the two armies are fighting fiercely?" At that moment, he rushed out suddenly and attacked our army back and forth? Our army must be panicked when we are suddenly attacked, and under the combined attack from front to back, inside and outside, how can our army be undefeated? Given this opportunity, how could Sun Quan be satisfied and just defeated? Our army? It must be to defeat our army in one fell swoop and annex all the territories of our army!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, indeed if he was himself, he would have done the same.

"However, Gongjin, such an ambush must have a lot of conditions. Now our army is just here in Jingzhou, and I am not very familiar with the geography, but I also know that there are many places around Jiangxia. Stop the boat, so how can Gong Jin know where the other party is?"

Before Wei Tao said that he wanted to ambush more on the spur of the moment, but now Zhou Yu is obviously thinking clearly, which makes Wei Tao quite strange.

"My lord, I really didn't know what the navy was like before, but after Lu Su came here, he told me where the navy is."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, seeing Wei Tao seemed puzzled, and immediately spoke for Wei Tao.

"Na Lusu pointed out the time, that is to tell me that Sun Quan has reinforcements, and the agreed place is to tell him where the reinforcements will be, where they can easily go ashore and ambush our army. How is it?"

"Haha... If Lu Zijing knew about this result, I'm afraid he would really regret it to death. Lu Zijing is really not as good as Gongjin!"

Wei Tao couldn't help but smile after thinking for a while, the matter was indeed as Zhou Yu said, considering carefully the location of the final battle, it was not difficult to find the landing place.

"My lord is ridiculous! Lu Su is indeed capable of seeing the overall situation, but he is not good at the details when it comes to specific government affairs. However, if he doesn't do this, he may not be able to stop the anger in the army. After all, this is still the lord. ability!"

Zhou Yu also said with a smile at the moment, even Wei Tao didn't expect Zhou Yu to still have such a posture of flattering, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"Hehe... If that's the case, I've won the first prize in this battle!"

In the middle of the night, boats and boats rowed towards the coast, and under the moonlight they looked like fish swimming in their prey.

I have to say that Jiangdong's disciples are really good at water. There is no port in the first place, and it is not easy to go to the shore, but the Jiangdong soldiers jumped into the water and pulled the boat to the shore.

After the front army landed, it was much easier for the people behind.

The reason for this is that the Jiangdong army did not want the big ship to dock to alert others. Unfortunately, the Jiangdong army did not know that at this time, Wei Tao had secretly led people to arrive.

The ones following Wei Tao were none other than Gan Ning and Yu Jin, looking at the Jiangdong navy in front of them, although he knew it was not suitable, Wei Tao still asked quietly.

"Xingba, Wenze. How about this Jiangdong water army?"

"My lord, the Jiangdong navy is indeed not to be underestimated. Not to mention the water quality alone, it is already comparable to our elite navy. In addition, such silent actions in the dark night also show that its military discipline is extraordinary. If it is really a war, Winning or losing is hard to say."

Gan Ning didn't mean to hide anything, and said in a low voice.

"However, recently, under the order of the lord, the Jingzhou navy has been reorganized and trained. With the addition of the Jingzhou navy, the strength of our navy has also increased a lot. If we fight against it, it is not that there is no chance of victory, but it does not matter whether we win or lose. , I’m afraid there will be a lot of casualties.”

Gan Ning's words were not very pleasant to listen to, but Wei Tao nodded slightly, Wei Tao can also know what this navy will be like.

After all, at this time, when the northerners rode horses and the southerners sailed in boats, although Wei Tao had organized and trained the navy early on, he still let them sail the sea, but compared with the Jiangdong navy, he was just in between.

"However, it's different after tonight. These are obviously Jiangdong's elite navy. Once they fall here, although we can't rely on it, but at that time, we can form a situation where we can attack more and attack less. Go down to Jiangdong in one fell swoop!"

At this time, Yu Jin spoke with a straight face, but his eyes never left the soldiers.

"My lord, since it is possible to put it on the shore to fight, it is better to wait until it has just set up a camp. At that time, the lord will lead the cavalry to charge, so that its power can be dispersed, and then I will lead the charge to kill. There is something to be done!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly. This was exactly what he thought. After all, killing Jiangdong soldiers and weakening Sun Quan's strength was what he wanted to do.

In fact, if it is common sense, it is natural to strictly inspect a place like this for the first time, in case there is a rebellious attack, but this time is obviously not an ordinary time.

In fact, the Jiangdong general who led the army did not have much time to investigate slowly after he landed. More boats under his command transported the Jiangdong soldiers ashore. He was also exhausted. Without the command of the general, they would have all collapsed long ago.

In addition, although there is moonlight at this time, but the night is dark, although it is not considered invisible, but the place to see is limited, so it is impossible to spend too much time on this investigation.

In the middle of the night, Jiangdong's generals had already landed, but many of them were wet. It was obviously impossible for nearly ten thousand people to use the temporary bonfire.

If it wasn't for the cold weather at this time, I am afraid that more than half of these people would have collapsed by themselves.

"Report! General Xu, all the soldiers have come ashore, what should our army do now?"

Just after all the Jiangdong Army went ashore, some subordinates asked the leading general, and the leading general nodded slightly, just opening his mouth.

"This time by the Lord's order..."

"kill!"

Before the general could finish his words, a shout rang out from all directions, and within a short while, Wei Tao rushed to kill him.

"Jiangdong dog thief! Wei Tao is here! Take your life! Kill!"

"Kill..."

Following Wei Tao's yelling loudly shook the audience, the morale of all the soldiers under Wei Tao's command was boosted, and they became even more energetic.

"Wei Tao! Why is he here?"

While the Jiangdong general was still in a daze, Wei Tao had already led someone to rush in. Some Jiangdong soldiers wanted to stop him. Chaos.

Seeing this, the Jiangdong general didn't care too much, and just yelled loudly.

"Don't panic, form the battle immediately! The opponent must not have many people, so let me block it!"

But after shouting, the general realized that each Jiangdong army was unarmed, not even armored, let alone horses.

After all, if you have to wade in, you will naturally not bring all the equipment with you, let alone a horse.

This time, even if the man was a general, no one heard him, but because he wanted to resist and found that he was easily killed, it made him even more confused.

"Kneel down and surrender without killing! Kneel up and surrender without killing!"

Wei Tao was also a little surprised that things went so smoothly, but it was a good thing for Wei Tao. He immediately yelled loudly, and as Wei Tao yelled, all the soldiers also shouted.

Those Jiangdong soldiers might still have the courage to die together with the enemy if they changed for a while, but after comparing the armed forces of the two sides at this time, they all gave up resistance and surrendered directly on their knees.

In less than a quarter of an hour before and after this battle, all the Jiangdong army was captured.
