Summary of the previous chapter: Zhou Yu deployed a qiē, and after Fankou and Liu Bei converged, the whole army marched towards Chibi; On the other hand, Cao Cao set out from Jiangling, and the two armies would meet in Chibi, and a battle in Chibi was inevitable

++++++++++++++++++++ looking at the ship formation deployed by Zhou Yu, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly thought of a sentence in "Sun Bin's Art of War": In a water battle between the two armies, if the enemy moves, it will be cut off; The enemy will rush into his eyes; Gather the enemy and disperse it.

In the vernacular, it can be summed up as a battle between the two armies on the water, and if the enemy is initiated, his path must be destroyed; If the enemy is arrayed, then it is necessary to rush into the eye of the formation and destroy the enemy's battle formation; If the enemy is to concentrate, then the intention of the enemy's concentration must be destroyed, and it must not be allowed to concentrate.

While sighing, Ma Xiaoquan was also a little embarrassed.

Those few sentences in "Sun Bin's Art of War" are only the earliest guiding principles for water warfare, and as for the formation of water warfare, the existing ones are very rare. Although Ma Xiaoquan has a data device, it stands to reason that the information in the data device should be relatively comprehensive, but unfortunately, even Ma Xiaoquan has no information about the water battle formation.

Ma Xiaoquan didn't have it, but Zhou Yu did.

Ma Xiaoquan asked Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, if you were Cai Mao Zhang Yun under Cao Cao, what would you choose in the water battle formation?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Water warfare has many similarities with land warfare, but water warfare is more about group combat, that is, lone warships are easy to be destroyed. ”

"In that case~~ What tactics do you think Cai Mao and Zhang Yun will choose?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while: "There are many soldiers in the Cao army, if it is in an open area, it will definitely form an encirclement formation for our army, well~~ If you want to talk about the encirclement formation, it should be the best goose-shaped formation, however, this goose-shaped formation is different from the goose-shaped formation on the land battle, specifically"

Zhou Yu talked about it and introduced the goose-shaped formation on the water battle to Ma Xiaoquan.

After listening to Zhou Yu's introduction, Ma Xiaoquan nodded and said, "In this case, do you conclude that Cao Cao will choose the goose-shaped array?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said: "If there are more people and fewer people are bullied, you must choose an advantageous formation, the goose-shaped formation is the best choice for big fish to eat small fish, but with Cai Mao Zhang Yun's experience, there will definitely be changes in the formation." ”

"Change? How much has changed? ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Lord Shangxian doesn't know, this water battle, as long as the formation is slightly modified, it may even affect the outcome of the battle, therefore, every general of the water war commander will be very cautious when formulating the water battle policy and formation. ”

Ma Xiaoquan said: "According to this, Gong Jin, how do you deal with Cao Cao?" ”

Zhou Yu said solemnly: "Just because I am more cautious than Cao Cao, and more cautious than Cai Mao and Zhang Yun!" ”

"Good!"

Zhou Yu nodded and said: "I now have two tactics, one is to quickly assemble troops to intercept Cao Cao at Jianglingkou, but this tactic is very risky, if it can't be intercepted, our army is bound to be defeated, so I am more inclined to the latter tactic, that is, to fight Cao Cao in Chibi." ”

"Fighting? With your Sun and Liu's allied army, a total of less than 50,000 against Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops? ”

Zhou Yu said confidently: "I don't dare to say anything else, just Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's two hits, I, Zhou Yu, don't pay attention to it at all, hum!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder: "Gong Jin, it's a good thing to have self-confidence, but the difference in strength you have only seen is indeed very large, I don't think you don't understand this, right?" ”

Zhou Yu said: "Lord Shangxian is right, I have already considered these details, as long as the southeast wind can reach, the rest of the things will be solved." By the way, Lord Shangxian, when will this southeast wind blow? ”

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "This battle in Chibi should not be scraped!" ”

"Why?"

Ma Xiao said wholeheartedly: Nonsense, the real history was blown by Huang Gai when he surrendered, and now what has become of the wind?

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "Although the battle of Chibi will be difficult, it will not be able to move Cao Cao's roots, so it is best to blow the wind when the old general surrenders!" ”

Zhou Yu was puzzled: "The number of our army in the Battle of Chibi is far less than that of Cao Cao, I'm afraid"

Ma Xiaoquan said: "Don't worry, don't say anything else, at least in this Chibi battle, you Zhou Yu will not die under the protection of Ben Xian!" ”

Zhou Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and said in his heart: This Shangxian Lord is really good, I arranged him to take the same boat as me just to wait for him, I didn't expect it to really come, haha great, as long as I don't die, then our army has hope to win, haha

Although Zhou Yu is a little arrogant, he has arrogant capital.

Indeed, as long as Zhou Yu does not die, the alliance armies of Sun and Liu will definitely not collapse, with Zhou Yu's personality charm and his level of command, even if Cao Cao can really win, he will definitely not be able to get any big bargains.

What's more, in real history, Cao Cao suffered a defeat in Chibi

In the afternoon, news suddenly came from the spy ship in front that the vanguard of Cao's army had been discovered.

Zhou Yu immediately ordered to open a formation and prepare to defend against the enemy, and at the same time, sent twenty red horses to take the lead, the purpose of which was to continue to investigate, and second, to do preliminary harassment.

Zhou Yu can think of harassment, and Cai Mao and Zhang Yun can naturally think of it.

The Sun-Liu coalition sent Red Horses on the side, while Cao Cao's side directly sent out 10 Mengchong.

Meng Chong is much larger than the Red Horse, and the speed is not inferior to the Red Horse, but it is not as good as the Red Horse in terms of flexibility.

As soon as the reconnaissance units of the two armies met, they immediately launched an offensive.

Zhou Yu is worthy of being Zhou Yu, even if he is on the ship, he can control the exploration troops with strategy, but in comparison, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are a little worse.

With the combat effectiveness of the Red Horse, let alone dealing with 10 Mengchong, even if you add 10 Red Horses, you may not be able to beat these 10 Mengchong.

But the fact is that Jiang Qin, the general sent by Zhou Yu, is good at water warfare, and not only won the first victory with these 20 red horses, but also won a complete victory.

On the other hand, on Cao Cao's side, 10 ships rushed out, and only half of them were left when they went back

"Smack~~" Cao Cao kicked Cai Mao over and scolded: "Bastard, rice bucket, my Mengchong ship is much stronger than Sun Quan Xiaoer's red horse, you shameful thing, you actually lost 5 ships to me?" ”

Cai Mao got up, and he was also very depressed in his heart.

finally believed in his younger brother Cai He, and asked him to take the vanguard out to investigate, but he came back with a shameful and conspicuous loss.

Cai Mao is also very angry, but he did make mistakes.
