Chapter 376: Yong'an Turtle Flow (2)
"The last general loses his troops and loses his generals, and the crime is great. Please punish them all. ”
Didn't you call it 'Child's Day' yesterday? Will this be known to be called the Governor?
Looking at Gu Li, who was kneeling in front of him, Lu Kang was extremely angry. Without him, the loss this time greatly exceeded his psychological expectations.
The Yangtze River is in Sichuan, and after receiving the Min River from Yibin, the width of the river is generally between 600 and 800 meters. After Yong'an, the river surface shrank rapidly. In Qutang Gorge, the river is about 400 to 500 meters. Wuxia is the narrowest, averaging less than 200 meters. When I arrived at Xiling Gorge, it slowly relaxed. Until I left Yichang, the river suddenly became extremely wide. It can reach several kilometers.
Counterweight trebuchet when projecting objects of more than 100 pounds or so. The general range is about 200 to 300 meters. Due to the steep mountains on both sides of Qutang Gorge, the trebuchets on the shore of the Yong'an defenders could not be set up along the river bank, but were quite far away from the river bank. Therefore, the trebuchets of the Yongan defenders could not completely cover the entire river.
Therefore, in the first battle of the night, Yang Zong, the commander of the Yongan navy, first used fireboats to force the Soochow navy to move closer to both sides, and then used the trebuchet on the shore to strike: the stone projectiles thrown by the counterweight trebuchet were much heavier than the winch trebuchets installed on the ship. If the wooden ship is unfortunately hit, it will be a real 'shot into the soul'.
On the night of the 21st, Soochow sank hundreds of large and small ships. The loss of soldiers was almost three thousand people. Although some of the 3,000 people must have swam ashore. But it's winter, and the water temperature of the Yangtze River is only a few degrees. If you soak in such river water for most of the night, even if you don't get caught by the Shu thief, you will catch a cold, right? The cold in this era is not a minor disease, and it is possible to destroy an army directly if it is not done well!
So looking at Gu Li, Lu Kang really wanted to stab this guy to death.
However, such a thought is just a thought. The Lu family and the Gu family are both Wu Jun clans, and the relationship between them is so complex that neither of the two parties can fully explain it. Not to mention anything else, this bastard named Gu Li, his younger brother is called Gu Qian, and he just married his daughter some time ago!
So, too, only the board was raised high and gently lowered.
"The sin will be respectful, the soldiers will be damaged, and the national prestige will be damaged. Suspended from all duties, to the rear team responsible for escorting grain and grass. ”
"Thank you for not killing."
After waving his hand, let this guy fuck off. Lu Kang recruited Zhang Zheng: "Zizhong, what happened to the battle last night?" ”
"Governor, the last general is not very clear. The last general originally estimated that it was ten miles away from Ji Xun's fleet, and it would be too late to respond in case Ji Xun was defeated. Unexpectedly, Ji Xun was defeated too quickly. When the Admiral saw them, he felt that hundreds of ships were swarming in a chaotic manner, and they almost scattered the Admiral's fleet. ”
"This shaft! That's it, the whole team, and the governor himself went to see it. ”
In the end, it is the first water army, and it is the strongest commander of water warfare in this era. Under the command of Lu Kang, the Dongwu Navy quickly completed the reorganization of the formation, and thousands of ships went up the river mightily, and soon came to the downstream of Yong'an City.
After Yong'an City entered Lu Kang's sight, the entire Dongwu fleet took a breath of cold air.
On the almost vertical cliffs on both sides, there is a trebuchet in a slightly gentler place, and each trebuchet is guarded by about twenty soldiers nearby. In the upper reaches of the distance, hundreds of warships of the Ji Han Navy lined up in a row, completely blocking the river. Behind these warships is Yong'an City, which has been repeatedly built and has become another super cement fortress. Not only that, but on the other side of Yong'an City on the north bank of the Yangtze River, there is also a smaller, but very pure fortress. What's even more exaggerated is that directly behind Ji Han's fleet, between the two castles, there are actually three huge chains in the middle of the river.
Do you want to be so perverted?!
After watching Ji Hanjun's deployment, he was almost desperate when he was fighting on land.
But the reason why a famous general is a famous general is that in addition to being able to arrange troops and be full of strategies. Perseverance is also an essential quality. Therefore, Lu Kang did not want to withdraw from the army.
"Order, first send a small boat, with a white flag, to the Han army to spread the word, and I will invite Sun Dinglie, the Yong'an Governor of the Shu Dynasty, to come out and answer."
But the boat squeaked and rowed out, and it didn't take long for it to be stopped back by the boat sent by Ji Han.
"Dudu, the Shu thief said, if you want to fight, you will fight, and if you don't fight, you will ...... Uh, if you don't fight, get out. What so much nonsense to say. ”
"Hey~~! This Sun Dinglie! "It's the family history, and Lu Kang is also angry at this time. However, the good general would never raise troops out of anger, so Lu Kang was slightly stunned and then issued an order: "The whole army will withdraw to Wu County in Jianping County, and repair there for the time being." ”
"No!"
……
On the other side, Ji Han Yong'an Governor's Mansion.
"Sun Dinglie, look, look, Wu Gou actually retreated like this! I told you, don't make the defense so tight, because in doing so, the enemy will not see any hope and will not be able to fight. So, where are our achievements? ”
"Hehe, Zhongyuan, you came thousands of miles from Chengdu to help, and I am very grateful. It's just that the order given to me by my brother is to guard Yong'an and not let Wu Gou go deep into the hinterland of Yizhou. I'm only aiming for this, and I haven't thought about anything else. ”
"It's not too late. Or do we deceive first, and then lure the enemy deeper? Didn't you also arrange trebuchets in the upper reaches of Yong'an? If you want me to say, you shouldn't have exposed the trebuchet so early on both sides of the gorge. ”
"Hehehe......" scratched his gray hair, and Sun Gang, who was in his thirties, smiled innocently: "I, Sun Gang, used to be a son who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains when I was in Chengdu. When I arrived in Fuling, I only worked as a swineherd for seven years, and my brothers led the troops out to fight, and I usually stayed at home. So I'm a man, in terms of military strategy, it's simply useless. The reason why my brother used me as the governor of Yong'an was just because he liked me to be cautious and cautious. Brother Zhongyuan, who is Lu Youjie? Even a famous general like Chen Qian has been played by him, how dare my Sun Gang fight wits with him? Being a human being is self-aware, and I know very well how much I am capable of. I also knew what I had to do. I'm here, I don't want to inflict heavy losses on the enemy, I just want to guard the east gate of Yizhou and not let Wu Gou enter the country. ”
"Hey, okay, okay. I'm really unlucky. Why can't you get decent feats anywhere? ”
In the days that followed, the plot developed a bit comical.
Lu Kang is like a dusty woman who wants to seduce Sun Gang, and uses all kinds of means to send troops to Sun Gang.
What kind of fleet attacked, the slightest contact will be defeated, sending people to climb the cliff to attack the trebuchet, landing on the slightly flat shore between Wushan County and Yong'an Palace to make a land attack, suddenly catching fire inside the Wu army fleet at night....... etc. But Sun Gang didn't pay attention to it at all: Anyway, it's just a line, if you come to attack me, you will fight back. If you lose, I will never chase you. I'm here anyway, and if you want to go upstream, you'll have to defeat me completely.
This guy completely used the set that Sima Yi used to deal with Zhuge Liang back then.
And Lu Kang is worse than Zhuge Liang is that this Sun Dinglie has no demeanor at all. What two countries are at war with, he does not follow the rules at all. In short, your ship will attack as soon as it gets close to my position. In this way, Lu Kang didn't even have the opportunity to give Sun Gang women's clothes. It can only be within the Eastern Wu Army that Sun Gang was given nicknames such as turtle and Wang Ba.
"Ah~~~!" No matter how good his temper is, no matter how deep his family background is, he can't help Lu Kang hide the anger in his heart. In the middle of the night on January 15, 270 AD, after a heart-rending roar sounded at the core of the Soochow fleet, Lu Kang beat the drum of the generals.
"Gentlemen, I really didn't expect that this Sun Dinglie would be so cowardly! Shameless! Vile! If the Yongan defenders do not enter the gorge and engage our army, our army will not be able to break through the gorge. Sitting here for a long time, it's okay to talk about military rations or something, but this morale is really worrying. So, we had to find another way. ”
"What's the governor's plan?"
"I will, divide the troops. A part stayed here to contain the Yong'an army of Shu thieves. The other part flows down the river and enters the water from Dongting Lake. Then go up the river to Qianling County in Wuling County. ”
"What does the governor mean, Fuling County, which attacked the Shu thieves?"
"However, most of the troops of the Shu thieves are concentrated in Yongliang, and the defenders in Yong'an, after nearly a month of fighting, should have estimated that there should be no less than 20,000. Therefore, there should not be too many defenders in Fuling County. Besides, this time His Majesty ordered us to wait for the destruction of Shu, which was originally to capture Fuling County along the Wujiang River after taking Yong'an. Since this road doesn't work, then Ben will take a different path. ”
"The governor has a very good intention. But who is left here? When the governor goes to take Fuling County, how many soldiers and horses will he bring? ”
"From here to Qianling, there are basically waterways. But after the Qianling, there is the Wuling Mountains, where the truth is completely impossible to supply the passage of the army. The Governor meant 10,000 soldiers, plus 20,000 men to transport military rations. As for the stay here, General Sun, may be here on behalf of Lu? ”
"Sun Yi takes the order!"
"Good, wait for this governor to take Fuling, and then kill along the Wujiang River. When the time comes, Bendu will take a good look at how wonderful this Sun Turtle's face is! ”
