Summoning Gan Ning is different.
No, Liu Wu's army had given up the way of marching on the river, which consumed a lot of physical energy, and instead used boats and bamboo rafts to march on the river.
As a water warrior, Gan Ning can be said to be an expert in water warfare.
Before taking refuge in Liu Wu, Gan Ning, as the overlord of the rivers, had more than 30 large and small boats under his command, which was more than enough to carry 3,000 soldiers.
But Liu Wu's command is not what it used to be, there are more than 8,000 soldiers alone, this is not counting the baggage, armor, if you want to let the army crisscross between these rivers, then you must have the corresponding vehicles.
Of course, this was not difficult for Gan Ning, who proposed that the entire army go out to destroy the surrounding bamboo, so as to build a solid bamboo raft.
But it's not okay if there is a bamboo raft that no one can manipulate, it's okay, more than 800 people under Gan Ning's command are all experts, so the more than 800 bamboo rafts built are controlled by him.
A group of ten people sat on the bamboo raft, the whole army entered the summer water, and then entered the Yangtze River from the summer water, and there was a specialization in the art industry, Liu Wu knew how to give up power, and the command of the army was in the hands of Gan Ning at this time.
And Liu Wu's approach made Gan Ning very moved, with such a trusting lord, he must die for him!
Liu Wu and other generals were all on the boat, and Gan Ning's series of decisive actions also won the trust of the generals, and the friendship between them also became stronger with a series of battles.
As a super-first-class general, Gan Ning's own momentum is more publicized than condensed, and the personality of each general directly leads to the momentum they exude.
As a martial arts disciple, Liu Wu is good at learning martial arts with strong people, although Liu Wu is strong, he is more experienced in battle, but he was finally defeated after fighting Gan Ning for a hundred rounds.
Like Liu Wu was defeated in the hands of Gan Ning, the side can also show Gan Ning's strength.
In the middle of this exchange, the summer water is gone, and the boats and bamboo rafts flow into the Yangtze River with the flow of water, and the Yangtze River is so wide that it looks like sailing into the sea from a distance.
The generals are busy learning martial arts, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu are busy perfecting the next marching strategy, and Liu Wu has the advantage of knowing how to shake the pot and leave professional things to professionals to do.
In this way, Liu Wu can worry about it and do things better. Why not.
Guo Jia pointed to the map and said: "Gong Jin, now that our army has traveled to the Yangtze River, it only takes one day to cross and go straight to Xiakou, the core of Jiangxia County. ”
Guo Jia described the environment and state they were in at this stage, and Zhou Yu looked at the map unfolding in front of him intently, not knowing what he was thinking.
After pondering for a while, Zhou Yu pointed straight to the Yangtze River, his fingers slid along the trajectory, and finally settled in Xiakou, and said: "This battle should highlight its surprise, so we can't let the Xiakou defenders know our existence, and the night attack is the most effective method for our army at present, I have estimated that the time will be at noon on the second day Our army can reach more than ten miles away from Xiakou, after arriving here, our army can temporarily hide, recuperate, and when night falls, surprise into Xiakou City!" ”
Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Guo Jia fell into deep thought, to be honest, he has been thinking about how to break the dense defense line of Xiakou City these days, and he has also thought about dividing his troops to break through, but this is equivalent to giving up the advantage of heavy troops, but if he does not divide his troops, Xiakou City will close the city in a short time.
In this way, there seems to be no other way than a war of attrition.
After hearing what Zhou Yu said, Guo Jia vetoed it as soon as possible, he didn't think of this method, but fighting on the river and fighting on land are completely two different concepts.
Disadvantage 1: Except for a few boats, Liu Wu's army was all bamboo rafts, and the defenders of Xiakou City mostly used large ships to garrison.
Disadvantage 2: Marching in the river at night, inconvenient movement is also a major disadvantage, the slightest carelessness will fall into the river, the temperature of the river at night is chilling to think about.
Disadvantage 3: Liu Wubu's soldiers are all from the south, but after all, they have not experienced systematic learning, and accidents will occur in panicked battles.
After hearing Guo Jia's analysis, the corners of Zhou Yu's mouth raised slightly, with an expression of victory, and said: "Fengxiao, the three points you said are actually summarized as one point, as long as our army can have an elite division and dive into the water, as long as they can chisel through the bottom of the enemy's big ship, then they are not opponents at all!" ”
I'll go......
There is also this kind of operation, this operation can be used!
Hearing what Zhou Yu said, Guo Jia's eyes lit up, although Guo Jia and Zhou Yu are among the top notch, but the environment in which they are located has made them look at things with different eyes.
At least after Zhou Yu explained it, Guo Jia's irritable heart also calmed down.
There are many generals who know how to water under Liu Wu, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, and Zhou Ping are all water warriors. Let him lead his troops to raid the enemy's big ship, it is definitely easy and abnormal, and the soldiers under his command do not need to be selected, and the soldiers under the command of Ganning can complete this task perfectly under his leadership.
Solved, just like that, it was easily solved.
……
Night falls.
After recuperating the army, the physical strength has been restored, and the soldiers are constantly putting boats and bamboo rafts into the Yangtze River one by one under the command of the generals of various departments, and the team led by Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Zhou Ping temporarily joined the command to assist.
Liu Xiong led 100 people to stay here to protect the relevant personnel.
Under the command of the Dao Dao, the army is deployed!
The command of this battle was handed over to Zhou Yu to command, and all including Liu Wu had to be under the command of Zhou Yu, after all, I think this kind of battle would be able to command and win except Zhou Yu.
The problems encountered during this period were all predicted by Zhou Yu and Guo Jia in the pre-deduction, so everything was spent without danger, more than ten big ships were scuttled and fell into the Yangtze River, and the soldiers on the big ships were all killed!
Zhou Yu's attitude of winning the game and his calmness made the generals all look up to him, and all of this was in Liu Wu's eyes. secretly said in his heart: "Zhou Yu is worthy of being Zhou Yu, how can Zhou Lang be an idle person!" ”
At the same time, the army with the help of the flow of water, rushed to Xiakou City not far away at a very fast speed, so far Xiakou City did not know that there was an enemy army to sneak attack, Xiakou as Jiangxia County, its prosperous places are close to the Yangtze River, and the prosperous places are built with docks.
These docks are the weakness of Xiakou City, without knowing it, under the orderly command of Zhou Yu, Liu Wu's army has all boarded the docks of Xiakou City!
In this way, Liu Wu's army all boarded the dock of Xiakou City, and Xiakou City was nothing more than a lamb to be slaughtered in its eyes, and there was no threat at all except for deliciousness.
