Yan Yan took the initiative to lead a naval army of 30,000 infantry and 80 warships down the river and began to march in the direction of Zigui.

He tried to break through Zigui, threaten Yiling, take the initiative, and force the Wei army to retreat, so that the Wei army voluntarily abandoned its strategic intentions.

Yan Yan's army was decisively dispatched, forming a powerful deterrent to Zigui.

Yan Yan was very confident and felt that he would definitely be able to defeat the Wei army.

On February 24, Yan Yan led his army to the vicinity of Zigui and began to attack the military stronghold set up by the Wei army near Zigui.

The Wei army stationed in Zigui relied on military strongholds to counterattack, and the fight was fierce, but because of the small number of people and the large number of defeated Shu troops, these military strongholds were abandoned one after another.

The Wei army continued to retreat.

On February 26, Yan Yan's army broke through the resistance of the Wei army and entered a place where the county seat of Zigui could be seen with the naked eye, and the joint camp formed by the Wei army near the county seat of Zigui could also be seen.

"The Wei people really sent a large number of troops back to quell the rebellion, this is a godsend for our army, this time, the Wei people will be annihilated in one fell swoop! The Wei people have been arrogant so far, all because no one can defeat them, as long as they can defeat them, they can make the people of the world with the Han family stand up and resist the Wei people together, and at that time, it will not be difficult for my Han to recover! ”

Yan Yan was full of pride, vowed to annihilate the Wei army in Zigui, and called on people with Han families in the world to rebel against Wei, overthrow the Guo Wei regime, and recapture the Han dynasty.

He really thought so, he really felt that as long as he could defeat this Wei army, he would be able to blow the horn of the fall of the Wei State, and he would be able to make the heroes of the Han family in the Central Plains raise troops to resist the brutal Guo Wei puppet regime.

It seemed that he heard Yan Yan's pride and ambition and felt that he couldn't bear it, so Wei general Zhu Ling led four generals, including Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Wen Ping, and Li Gan, to meet Yan Yan's army by land and water.

Yan Yan's army has been separated from the camp for a long distance, and it is time to close the net.

It is time to let the people of the world know that only the Wei army itself can defeat the Wei army, and no other army can defeat the Wei army.

On land, Zhu Ling personally went into battle, raised the banner of General Pingnan, led Gan Ning and Li Qianer to line up on land, and 10,000 Wei troops formed several military formations and waited for them.

Yan Yan was overjoyed when he saw the main force of the Wei army and prepared for a decisive battle, so he also commanded his army to form a military formation and go toe-to-toe with the Wei army, and the two armies each beat their war drums to prepare for a head-on decisive battle.

At the same time, on the other side of the water, the Wei Army's naval division, led by Huang Zhong and Wen Ping, also lined up, preparing to meet the Yizhou Naval Division.

The main force of the Wei Army's inland water division was adapted from the Jingzhou Water Division, and basically the personnel were all the configuration of the Jingzhou Water Division, except for some grassroots officers from the Wei army, and the general staffing did not change.

Because the Wei army sailors are indeed weak.

The previous seven battles and seven defeats in Jiangdong were black history that the Wei army was reluctant to mention from top to bottom, and Zhang Liao and Yu Ban were deeply ashamed of it and were unwilling to mention it again.

So when it comes to water warfare, the Jingzhou Navy Division is indeed much stronger, has a lot of combat experience, and all techniques are very good, and now these sailors have also undergone high-intensity military training and have been injected into the genes of the Wei army, which is very different from the past.

The previous feint still made the Jingzhou sailors a little angry, and now they finally have the opportunity to be ashamed, and the Jingzhou sailors are gearing up to give the Yizhou sailors a little color.

It's not that they have much confidence in themselves, but they are confident in the light trebuchets that can be used after the transformation of the powerful weapons department of the Wei army.

In order to adapt to the needs of water warfare, during the Battle of Jiangdong, the Wei army sailors under Zhang Liao were equipped with light trebuchets on the warships to fire stone projectiles to attack the Wu army's sailors.

As a result, Zhou Yu knew that the Wei army had trebuchets and knew that the Wei army would definitely use trebuchets, so he simply abandoned the big ships and used light and fast small boats for water warfare, giving full play to the superb technical advantages of the Wu army's sailors.

The light boat made the trebuchet, which was not fast to launch, useless, and the fighting skills of the Wei army's sailors also lagged behind the Wu army, so the Wei army suffered a great loss in the water battle and ended up with seven defeats in seven battles.

The Shu people did not know that the Wei army had ship-type trebuchets that could be used in water warfare, nor did they know that the Wei army had improved the firearms that could be fired, and they did not know that the craftsmen of the Wei Ministry of Industry had improved the weakness of the trebuchets due to their bulky and slow throwing speed.

Now the light trebuchet used by ships has been greatly improved, and the Jingzhou sailors were amazed after using it, believing that in this way, the pattern of water warfare in the future will be changed.

In the past, water warfare was a close impact of two warships and then engaged in a jumping gang battle, coupled with bow and crossbow shooting, the farthest combat distance of the sailor division would not exceed the range of the bow and crossbow, and the bow and crossbow could not destroy the ship after all, and the ramming and jumping gang battle was the mainstream.

Now it's different, trebuchets have the ability to destroy ships from a distance.

Although the stone projectiles fired by such a light trebuchet are not enough to destroy a large ship, once the fire oil tank is used, it is enough to bring an unforgettable nightmare to the opposing sailor.

The Mariner does not need to dash and jump in close quarters to destroy the opposing ship, which has a significant impact on the way the Mariner fights.

The Jingzhou sailors can't wait to see the destruction of the Yizhou Sailors.

And this is the most important link in the tactics formulated by Guo Jia and the entire staff team.

Before the war, Guo Jia thought that although the combat effectiveness of the Shu army was not very good, after all, it occupied a favorable position, and the Wei army attacked from the back, and they were condescending and had an advantage, and the number was not less than that of the Wei army.

If the whole army is faced with a strong attack, a fierce attack on Yufu, and an offensive and defensive battle is fought in Qutang Pass and the White Emperor City and the main force of the Shu army, then the victory of the Wei army is certain, but it will inevitably bring excessive casualties, which is not appropriate.

After that, this army will be used to advance Shuzhong and defend Shuzhong, and there can be no too many casualties, which is Guo Peng's order.

Guo Peng didn't care how difficult it was to carry out his orders, he thought that people who couldn't carry out such orders were not suitable to be commanders of large armies.

In order to avoid causing too many casualties, Guo Jia racked his brains to take the slightest countermeasure, and after learning that the logistics in Shuzhong were very tight, he had an idea and devised a plan for the Shu army to take the initiative to give up holding on and take the initiative to attack.

He let Gan Ning lose consecutive battles, gave Yan Yan, the chief general of the Shu army, a little sweetness, and used his logistics urgency to win, so that he led the army to take the initiative to attack, and the Yufu garrison divided the troops, and the lone army went deep.

Then, Guo Jia designed the illusion of letting Zigui's troops return to Jingzhou, and used the scouts sent by Yan Yan to make Yan Yan misjudge that there was civil strife in Jingzhou and the Wei army had to send troops back to help, so as to prompt him to further resolutely march into the battlefield preset by the Wei army.

Next is the point, the water division wins.

took advantage of the asymmetry in information to eliminate the Shu army's sailors in a way that the Shu army had never expected, and then let the Wei army's sailors go up the river, rush to Wuxian, reoccupy Wuxian, cut off Yan Yan's retreat, attacked at both ends, and destroyed him.

Guo Jia originally thought that Yan Yan would bring a maximum of 20,000 troops to attack, but as a result, he brought more than 30,000 troops and brought the main force, and he was more eager for victory than Guo Jia imagined, and even more eager for a quick victory.

It can be seen how tight the logistics in Shuzhong are, how difficult it is to take out an equal army to resist the Wei army, and compared with the abundant grain and grass and strong transportation capacity of the Wei army, it is simply a world of difference.

That's why Guo Jia sighed.

"It is not us who will win this battle, but Your Majesty, who has implemented the ten-year-old strategy of accumulating grain in the fields to help our army sweep the world! Since the beginning of peace, the army of the princes of the world, only my Wei army, has never been short of food, so the battle will be won, and the attack will be defeated, isn't this the merit of Your Majesty? ”

Guo Jia has such an exclamation, and Lejin also has such an exclamation.

They all know that the victory in this battle is inevitable, but the Shu people don't know it, and they are still trying to resist, which will bring great convenience to Wei's final rule over Shuzhong.

Because there are so many people to be killed, the space for political interests will be very large.

Le Jin and Guo Jia's excited hearts beat straight.

Because the great cause of reunification is just around the corner, they will surely go down in history.

The hearts of the Shu Army Sailor soldiers were also pounding.

It's just that the reason is different.
