Chapter 125: Confrontation

Puqi is the southernmost county of Ezhou, close to Fuzhou across the river, and Linxiang County in Yuezhou is traced up the river...... Chibi!

The war more than 1,000 years ago laid the foundation for the three divisions of the world, shattered the hope of a generation of male lord Cao Cao to unify the world, and also made the situation of division last for nearly a hundred years...... Five nonsense. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The same north is strong and the south is weak, the same north is to conquer the south, the difference is that the army of the Yuan people today is the route that Zhou Lang took to challenge the Cao army with the Eastern Wu Navy. More than 2,000 warships, large and small, carrying tens of thousands of Han troops, filled the entire river, and on both sides of them, more than 100,000 infantry troops formed a mighty torrent and rushed towards their first target, Yuezhou.

Because it was against the current, although the sails were all in unison, the speed was not much faster, Ali Hague, as the commander of the first army, did not seem to be in a hurry, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait with great interest, reciting the famous poem in his mouth.

"The halberd is sunk in the sand and the iron is not sold, and the grinding and washing recognize the previous dynasty. Dongfeng does not have a relationship with Zhou Lang, and Tongque Chun locks Er Qiao. ā€

In the view of Ali Hague, a military expert, the so-called east wind is just an external cause, and the real cause of defeat is because there is a big twist and turn in this section of the river, which slows down the water flow, and Cao's huge fleet of sailors loses the speed advantage of going downstream, so that they are defeated by the flexible and mobile tactics of Eastern Wu, as for the fire, it may not really burn.

This interpretation is somewhat admired even by Zhang Hongfan, a Han Chinese, who of course believes that they will not be able to repeat the mistakes of Cao Jun, and in this overwhelming advantage, no weather change is enough to be the key to victory, and this is not at sea.

Despite this self-confidence, Ali Hague still meticulously prepared for war, and the scouts on both sides of the strait were released for hundreds of miles, covering almost all the main roads, in order to cut off the news of the Song people, in order to confuse the enemy to the greatest extent, of course, he also understood that it was impossible for such a large team to completely hide its tracks.

The most slowing down the march was the foot soldiers, who could not sleep like a boat, and could only march for seven or eight hours a day at most, until the whole army approached the territory of Yuezhou.

"Zhong Chou, how are you going to fight this battle?"

Zhang Hongfan and Ali Hague stood on his boat together, he originally did not expect that he would be appointed as the commander of the navy, because both Zhang Rongshi and Xie Cheng were higher than him in terms of qualifications, you must know that here is the essence of most of the Yuan people's navy, and there is no room for loss at all.

For Zhang Hongfan, this pressure made him feel excited, so after he was appointed, he had been thinking about this question, and it was natural to answer it at this time.

"Yuezhou City is not to be feared, the key lies in the naval army on Dongting Lake, the Song people rely on it as a gateway, this naval army is well-trained and well-equipped, and the general thinks that it should not be underestimated." Zhang Hongfan's words were concise and to the point, and he did not mean to underestimate his opponent, and this caution was what Ali Hague admired about him, because he himself had the same temperament.

Ali Hague nodded approvingly, very satisfied that he said to the point as soon as he spoke, Jiangling Mansion is not far from Ezhou, and it will only take a few days to ride and ride, but if you don't get rid of the Yuezhou Navy first, they will go up the river and give support from the big river, so Ali Hague would rather pull out this nail along the waterway first, as long as Yuezhou is taken, Jiangling Mansion will become a source of no water, on the contrary, for the Song people, Yuezhou must be saved, which he is convinced of.

"The water war will be handed over to you, after Puqi County, the Song people will definitely be aware of it, you lead the water army day and night, don't care about anything, go straight to the city of Yuezhou, as long as you break through the Song people's water army in one fell swoop, Yuezhou is at your fingertips."

"The last battle will live up to the wishes of Pingzhang."

Almost at the same time, the news from the scouts on the shore also confirmed his suspicion, they met with the Song sentinels in Fuzhou, and the two sides did not fight, and the Song people took the initiative to withdraw, which means that at least the Jiangling Prefecture has received the news, and no matter what they choose, it is not unexpected by Ali Hague.

When he received the news that the patrol ship came back, Gao Shijie also arranged defense matters in Yuezhou City, because he was mainly responsible for the command of the navy, the defense of the city was handed over to his deputy, and the Yuezhou soldiers and horses were under the jurisdiction of Meng Zhishao.

"Fu Jun can think clearly, the Yuan people are powerful, and the enemy is probably not the best policy." Meng Zhishao is different from his brother, he was born in a general, and he still takes the route of a military general.

"It is precisely because of the great strength of the Yuan people that they can't give up the Hukou, as soon as Yuezhou City is lost, the water army will become a rootless apple, and the morale of the army will fall to the bottom, I am afraid that it will collapse before the battle, and the official has to go, and he can't go away."

Gao Shijie did not plan to follow the advice of the comers, the naval army was the only way for the Song people to win, if he didn't even dare to fight, he couldn't imagine how this battle would continue. As soon as Meng Zhishao heard it, he understood that he had made up his mind, and he no longer persuaded him at the moment, but this important task of city defense made him extremely worried, Gao Shijie wanted to fight the enemy with all his might, and he would take away most of the troops, and the number of people used to defend the city was not enough, and the Yuan people heard that there were more than 100,000 troops, and he was not sure at all.

He was clear about his deputy's worries, but he didn't say anything, whether Yuezhou City could be defended or not was closely related to his own naval army, and only by winning the water battle could he regain some advantages, because the enemy would not be able to fully surround him, and his naval army could give the city the greatest help, and vice versa, he didn't need to fight, it was impossible to defend at all.

From the lake to take a boat back to Junshan Shuijun Dazhai, before he had time to drink saliva, Gao Shijie received the news that the Yuanren fleet rushed through Linxiang County, such a speed, it is obvious that the other party has not gone to go with the land, what kind of idea, still need to say.

"Blow the trumpet, raise the flag, and the whole army will attack!"

Since it has been calculated, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued the order to attack, with the sound of the horn in the village, the entire Junshan Island was boiling, countless soldiers boarded their respective warships, and the large and small ships that had been prepared for a long time and had been replenished sailed out of the gate one after another, and slid along the waterway to the direction of the mouth of the lake, which was the best battlefield in Gao Shijie's mind.
