Chapter 109: This is the important task entrusted to us by the Prince

If it weren't for the excitement on Ding Li's flushed face,

Liu Chan would definitely feel that Ding Li was stupid by the news of the enemy's attack.

He stood up and forced his composure:

"How many people came?"

"There are countless big ships in front and back, at least tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid Wu Dog is here!"

Liu Chan: ......

Although he had been prepared for a long time, the attack of Wu Jun's really army still gave Liu Chan a lot of psychological pressure.

Fortunately, he has been fighting between the north and the south for a while, and he is no longer the immature boy at that time.

After a little hesitation, he immediately asked:

"Did you go and inform Gangneung?"

"It's gone!" Ding Li said excitedly,

"Wu Dog is finally going to crawl out of the kennel and die,

The prince can rest assured, we will fight bravely to be the first in this battle, and it is all up to the prince to plan! ”

You, you.

Whether it's your own person or the other side, how can you believe that I'm trying to force Wu Jun to fight?

Although he thinks so, Liu Chan hates the people of Eastern Wu in "Three Kingdoms".

He had sent Ding Feng twice before to raise grain and grass, and he had long been ready for a full-scale war with Eastern Wu.

At the beginning, he was ready to abandon the mouth of the oil river and wait for reinforcements in Jiangling.

But these days, when the people of Youjiangkou heard that they were going to fight against Soochow, they did not flee to Jiangling in large numbers, but many people came back with food and weapons to express their willingness to join the army.

This made Liu Chan very moved,

For their sake, they can't just give up this small city.

As for the enthusiasm of the people, it is not entirely because Liu Chan has won the hearts of the people-

The families of Soochow have their own parts,

These parts are the foundation of their existence,

But theoretically, they do not have the power to conscript,

But they can influence some of the bandits to join their tribes,

Therefore, wherever the territory of Wu expands, there are thieves everywhere.

If the famous generals of the Wu army did not have the experience of probationing thieves to join their troops, they would be embarrassed to greet their colleagues.

Ding Feng and his soldiers appeared one after another during the period of being stationed at the mouth of the oil river,

Let the people of the mouth of the oil river know that Wu Jun originally had such a commotion operation,

In order not to cause trouble to the Wu army, they are also ready to fight to the death.

Never give Wu Jun a chance to buckle the thief's hat on his head.

Moreover, the current Youjiangkou is no longer the former Youjiangkou.

With Liu Chan personally in charge, the fortifications at the mouth of the oil river were greatly improved.

The rammed earth wall, which had fallen into disrepair, was heightened and strengthened during the Northern Expedition.

Outside the southern city, a complex camp with a bamboo and wood structure was also repaired under Liu Chan's arrangement, posing as if he would never be trapped in the city.

The wooden camp built by Shiren himself is not like the temporary camp in the film and television drama, which is just an empty box erected on all sides.

Why did he fight an inch-by-inch war of attrition with Soochow, Shiren built four large camps in Nancheng and covered each other,

Each camp has a high earthen slope on which soldiers can stand and calmly fire arrows.

Outside the camp, all the pits were dug outside, sprinkled with thistles, and deer antlers were arranged, and repaired all the way to the river.

There is also a watchtower by the river, which can accurately detect the arrangement of the enemy's troops, dispatch troops, and use flags to inform the various barracks to pay attention to defense.

On top of that, barbed wire was also set up between the camps.

It's a pity that the barbed wire that Liu Chan's body moved is not enough, and it is difficult to cover it completely, and it is quite brainless to arrange.

Just this arrangement, this arrangement, with the siege technology of this era, anyone has to hold their heads and run away.

However, there is still one thing that puzzles Liu Chan......

The mouth of the Youjiang River is bordered by the Yangtze River in the east, and there are many soldiers and city defenses in the east, but the layout in the north is visible to the naked eye.

Although there are many soldiers arranged in the north, there is no such tortuous and deep camp as the southern city.

If the enemy is coming from the south, but the Yangtze River is unobstructed, they will not only attack the southern city.

Once they change their line of attack, the pressure on the north will be enormous.

However, Liu Chan knew that he could see this, and there was no reason why Shiren, who had experienced a hundred battles, and Yang Qun, who had a bad stomach, could not detect it.

The two of them muttered and pointed in Beicheng, God knows if they did something terrible here,

When the time comes, just wait and see.

First consume the enemy's sharp energy here, and when the Jiangling side sees that the mouth of the oil river is trapped, they will definitely hurry up to support.

With the field combat ability of the Tie Army, it is still possible to break through the encirclement of the Wu Army on the shore.

Hold on and wait for help, no problem!

·

Wu Jun didn't give Liu Chan much time to breathe,

At sunset, the vanguard fleet of the Wu army had already appeared outside the city of the mouth of the oil river, and the majestic fleet was in good order, and there was no edge in sight.

The huge building ship slowly moved forward, and the neatly lined up Dongwu Wenwu on the boat wandered in the sunset, looking at the trembling small town of Youjiangkou not far away, and there was a trace of burning resentment on his face.

It's finally here!

It's finally here!

What a Liu Adou,

Thou hast been stirring me up to fight, and this time we are finally here,

I'll see how you cope!

Zhuge Jin slowly glanced at the steps beside him,

Bu Qi nodded slowly and said loudly:

"Gentlemen, the time has come to fight the enemy,

Which general dares to be the first to attack Nancheng! ”

Looking at the heavily guarded Nancheng city defense, all the generals of the Wu army couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

There is a good saying, performing well in front of the leader is called performance,

If the leader is not there, the effect of your efforts will be half the effort.

Liu Chanjun's combat strength is strong, and this southern city is like a hedgehog, and whoever dares to attack the first wave will send his subordinates to the end.

This is undoubtedly very fatal in Soochow, which represents the right to speak in the trilogy.

Seeing that everyone was hesitating, Zhou Tai showed a cruel smile on his face:

"Since all the gentlemen are humble and humble, then I, Zhou Tai, will be ugly!"

His robe shook up, and he summoned his men to fetch him iron armor and prepare to attack with a spear.

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment and said:

"General Zhou, no."

Zhou Tai still respected Lu Xun's opinion, and Zhuge Jin, who wanted to reprimand Lu Xun, had no choice but to suppress his complaints in his chest.

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment and said:

"The Shu army was heavily guarded in the south of the city, and it was eager to attack fiercely, and it was bound to suffer heavy losses.

I might as well send an envoy into the city first to persuade Liu Chan to surrender, so that I can calmly observe the troops and check the reality of Nancheng. ”

Bu Qi had already heard Zhuge Jin tell the story between Lu Yi and Lu Xun at this time,

was stunned by the intricate relationship and Liu Chanyin's ruthless mind,

He just wanted to open his mouth to rebuke Lu Xun, but after thinking about it, Liu Chan used his troops to be treacherous and vicious, and if he attacked by force, he would definitely suffer heavy losses—especially if a Jiangbei force like Zhou Tai suffered even greater losses—it was better to listen to Lu Xun's opinion first.

Lu Xun groaned:

"I have three strategies, and I ask you to be clear-

This strategy is to storm the southern city.

I think that although the camp outside the southern city is complicated, it has less to do with the inner city after all.

If the kings are willing to attack together, everything will be fine if they break through the outer city. ”

If this trick is Cao Cao and Liu Bei's side, it is estimated that they will directly choose this routine,

But Bu Qiu knows the level of his side.

If the fierce battle is too long, the losses are too great,

Everyone didn't say anything on the surface, but it won't be long before someone shouts that they are infected with the epidemic in the army or that the water and soil are not suitable for Balabala (just like when Zhuge Ke fought Hefei).

Bu Qi nodded to show that he understood, but Zhuge Jin said angrily:

"Such a tactic is actually a strategy?

If the public dare not go, I, Zhuge Jin, will personally raise troops to go,

Let's wait for the wall to watch! ”

"Ziyu." Bu Qiu shook his head helplessly.

Zhuge Jin usually has an excellent temper, but he has always been preconceived,

thought that Lu Xun wanted to kill himself, so as soon as Lu Xun came up with an idea, he became mad.

"Bo Yan, you talk about the middle strategy."

"The middle strategy is simple, avoid the real and make the false, and attack the northern city!

It is impossible for the thieves to be unprepared in the northern city, but it is much better than attacking the intricate camp of the southern city. ”

Bu Qi hesitated, and then said:

"Go on, what's the best policy?"

"The best policy...... The best policy is to cut off the connection between Gangneung and the mouth of the Youjiang River.

Besiege the city and wait for the opportunity! ”

·

Gangneung City,

Jufu also received the news that Wu's army was heading north.

He excitedly said in a loud voice:

"It's finally here, the prince has long said that Wu Gou will take advantage of the Northern Expedition of Guan Gong to attack, and it is not what the prince expected."

"Aqiao, you stayed behind to guard Jiangling, I'm going to fight!"

Zhuge Qiao said inexplicably:

"Where are you going?"

"Naturally, it is to go to the mouth of the oil river,

If the prince wants to fight a big battle, do I still have to stay in Gangneung? ”

Zhuge Qiao smiled indifferently and said:

"If you want to fight a big war with Eastern Wu, why doesn't the prince choose Gangneung, which is easier to mobilize troops and has a stronger city, instead of building fortifications in the small city of Youjiangkou?"

"I'm waiting for the water war to be slightly inferior to the Wei army, let alone fighting with the Wu army,

If you take the waterway to save the mouth of the oil river, and the enemy intercepts halfway, what is good? ”

Jufu was stunned and said:

"yes."

"Such a trivial matter, even I can see through it, can't the son of the world think of it?

The prince of this war has been planning since Chengdu, and his every move is quite meaningful.

Before Cheng Yuan led hundreds of troops, he was able to defeat the key points of the Dongwu naval army,

This time, the prince personally sat in the mouth of the Youjiang River, and if Wu Jun came, he would be killing himself. ”

"That's right!" Jufu nodded again and again, but then he was a little confused,

"So, we're waiting here?"

"Wait?" Zhuge Qiao sneered, "Even Chengyuan has made immortal achievements, how can we sit here and do nothing." ”

He stood up and said excitedly:

"Did the prince only send someone to say that Gangneung was besieged, and didn't tell me to do anything?"

"Yes, yes.

Shouldn't the son of the world be besieged and rush to the rescue? ”

"Oh, if it were someone else, it would be like that.

But Ru Ke had noticed that a few days ago, the prince of the world specially asked Ding Chengyuan to leave with five hundred sailors. ”

"This letter didn't say where Cheng Yuan went, and he didn't think he was caught up by the Wu army halfway through."

"Dare to divide the troops at this time, and deliberately send all the sailors, and the building ship that Chengyuan transported grain before was also given to us, which shows that the prince is ready to give up the water war, and specially use the lonely city to trap and fight to the death with the enemy."

"Huh?" Jufu was shocked, "That prince is besieged in the city, short of soldiers and food, but the Wu army keeps coming, isn't it...... Very dangerous? ”

Zhuge Qiao's face was slightly red from excitement, he clenched his fists and smiled:

"That's what Shizi asked me to do!"
