Seven hundred and thirty-two seasick Zhang Liao
The long coastline, in the era when there was no concept of coastal defense, was everywhere that could be landed.
As far as the eye can see, there are breaches everywhere that can be broken through, and in stark contrast to the very tight defenses along the Yangtze River, there is no human population on the coast of Wu County.
However, it should have been a very smooth surprise attack, but because of Zhang Wenyuan's seasickness, there was an interesting episode.
"Impossible...... Vomit...... No way! When pigs fly! General Ben is disgusting...... A ...... who has trained sailors on a ship ...... vomit"
Zhang Liao lay on the deck, stretched out his head and poured out his despair in the blue water.
He was seasick!
"General, this ...... Sea vessels are very different from inland waterway vessels, and seagoing vessels are more turbulent than inland waterway vessels, so ...... At the end of the year, when the sailors were first trained, they were often seasick, but it didn't matter, just landing. ”
Tai Shici was on the side to help Zhang Liao Shunqi.
Zhang Liao is sure that he must be very embarrassed now, this is too shameless.
Zhang Wenyuan's most embarrassed time was when he surrendered to Guo Peng, but even at that time, Zhang Wenyuan maintained his demeanor, how could it be like now...... Vomit......
Zhang Liao felt that he was about to vomit out all the things he had eaten.
Not only Zhang Liao, but also those non-professional sailors, although all of them knew how to water, about a third of the soldiers still showed symptoms of seasickness, and everyone was pouring out their despair and resentment and dissatisfaction into the sea.
"No, we have to land as soon as possible, and if we continue like this, if we don't die on the battlefield, we will faint to death on the ship...... ...... vomit"
Zhang Liao couldn't even finish speaking, and continued to pour out his despair and shame.
But fortunately, this distance is not far away, and when Zhang Liao was about to lose his grasp, the sailor guide had already led the sailor to the coast of Wu County.
"Two generals, after landing here, more than ten miles to the west is Lou County of Wu County, and we are very familiar with this road."
The guide pointed out the road clearly, and Zhang Liao was relieved, so he gave the order to land.
Tai Shi Ci immediately commanded the naval soldiers very professionally to assist those non-professional soldiers to start the landing, one by one the small boats were lowered, and one by one the small boats approached the coast, transporting troops, horses, and supplies, in an orderly manner.
Zhang Liao and other seasick generals and soldiers were the first to land, and at the moment of down-to-earth, Zhang Liao took a deep breath and took a big breath of the air on the land, feeling that the air on the land was much sweeter than that on the sea.
It feels like I've been given a new lease of life.
Life is so beautiful!
Zhang Liao couldn't help but want to yell three times.
Of course, he still held back, and immediately ordered the soldiers who had come ashore to form a military formation, and began to seek the enemy and probe the enemy.
The landing lasted from morning to evening, and at this time Zhang Liao had set up a temporary camp on the shore, and preliminarily determined that there was no man's land within a radius of four or five miles, and there was no human habit, and the Wei army could rest assured that he would set up a camp here as a base for advancement.
In the process of continuing to explore westward, the Wei army found several villages, and according to the guide, it was estimated that if you continued to the west, you could see Lou County, which was the target of the attack.
At present, there is no trace of the Wei army's attack being exposed, and there is no trace of the Wu army near here, the main force of the Wu army is still fighting against the main force of the Wei army by the river, and here is their defensive vacuum area.
"In this way, the destruction of the Kingdom of Wu is just around the corner."
Zhang Liao smiled confidently.
The advantage of the Wei army's large numbers and strong strength was thus reflected, the main force of the Wu army could be contained in the front, and an attack could also be launched on the side, which was a fatal blow to the Sun Wu regime.
That night, the Wei army rested on the coast for one night, and the next morning, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici presided over a military meeting to analyze the situation that the sentinels had discovered that night.
They took out the topographic map of Jiangdong drawn by the Linzi camp spies for comparison, and then carried out strategic planning.
"Ziyi, we don't need to divide our troops for the time being, let's attack Wu County after we capture Lou County together, take Wu County, save the Gu clan first, by the way, the Sun family is all in Wu County, Zhou Gongjin thinks that Wu County is the safest, let's take Wu County first."
Zhang Liao opened his mouth and said: "After taking Wu County, let's go north together, and then divide the troops, you go north to Dantu, meet Zang Xuangao's army, and then attack Wu County with Zang Xuangao." ”
Before the war, through intelligence, Zhang Liao and others learned that the relatives of the Sun family and the families of many generals were arranged to live in Wu County, and the Sun and Wu regimes regarded Wu County as the rear and believed that Wu County was absolutely safe, so they made such and such moves.
Zhang Liao and others also decided to carry out a surprise attack while killing the families of high-ranking dignitaries and military generals of the Sun Wu regime in order to reduce their will to resist.
Zhang Liao also assigned Tai Shici a task, mainly to conquer the Dantu, let Zang Ba cross the river, and then attack Wu County with Zang Ba.
Tai Shi Ci immediately received the order.
"The last general is ordered, and the general is going directly to Moling?"
"Yes, I'll take a detachment of men and horses directly to Moling."
Zhang Liao grinned at the corners of his mouth: "The king wrote to me and said that the thief should capture the king first, as long as the Moling is destroyed, as long as Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are captured, the resistance of the Wu State will naturally end, and at that time, everything will be clear, and our army should not lose too much in Jiangdong, and there will be more things to do later." ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded.
The elimination of the Sun-Wu regime was the first step in pacifying Jiangdong, and the Sun-Wu regime's control over Jiangdong was mainly concentrated in the plain area north of the first line of Hangzhou Bay, along the Yangtze River, and further south, that was the world of Shanyue and some local aborigines.
The pacification of Sun Wu was only the first step in pacifying Jiangdong, and they needed to continue south and control the vast Huiji County and the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling.
Along the way, they will also encounter a large number of Shanyue groups and other aborigines, as well as an even more terrifying miasma, they will have to face a group of pristine scenery, and the road to the south will not be easy.
After the discussion, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici began to act, reorganize the army, and went all the way to Lou County.
In fact, the scale of mobilization in ancient wars was still relatively low, and there were many cases where the front was fighting, but the rear was drunk and dreaming of death.
Lou County will not be drunk and dreaming of death, but the normal life will not change, as a rear county, it is impossible to arrange a lot of troops to garrison, Guo someone can not arrange a large number of troops to garrison every city, and it is even more impossible for Wu State.
In fact, with the exception of a few important towns and border areas, a large number of prefectures, counties and counties do not have regular troops, and if there is a showdown, with such a vast territory of China, a regular army of one million is not enough, and it is impossible for the imperial finances to support it.
Most of the county towns have a little bit of government service, and some local garrisons are governed by prefectures and counties, and there are three to five hundred people, and more than 1,000 can be regarded as important towns.
Therefore, the concept of 10,000 soldiers will not become obsolete, that is, after breaking through the enemy's main defense line, 10,000 soldiers and horses can run rampant in the enemy's hinterland, ignoring the defense of most cities, and there is basically no city that cannot be captured by 10,000 troops.
Therefore, Guo was also quite concerned about the battle of Hefei at the beginning.
Sun Ce is not completely without a chance of victory, if something happens and Sun Ce wins, then he must immediately withdraw his troops from Guanzhong and return to the hinterland of the Central Plains.
At that time, before he led the main force back, Sun Ce's army could run rampant in the Central Plains and fight wherever he wanted.
His inland counties had no power to resist, and wherever Sun Ce's army went, they would inevitably fall, which would be a huge blow to him.
