After Zhu Wei rewarded Zhou Yu with a copy of "The Art of War", Zhu Wei found that Zhou Yu's loyalty had indeed increased to ninety-five.

Zhu Wei believes that the Three Kingdoms game system must have had some influence on Zhou Yu's thoughts secretly, so that Zhou Yu can completely let go of the previous separation from Zhu Wei and change his sincerity to assist Zhu Wei.

Anyway, now Zhu Wei is also a lot more relieved about Zhou Yu, and he can find time to release Zhou Yu out to lead the army alone.

Zhou Yu is best at water warfare, to be honest, Zhu Wei took Zhou Yu to participate in the Central Plains war, at most he only used his intellectual expertise, but he wasted his talent for water warfare.

Zhu Wei felt that Zhou Yu should lead the naval army in the south, so that through the mouth of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu could drive the warship north along the coastline to attack Beihai, Donglai, Lelang, Liaodong, Liaoxi and other places, and bypass Yuan Shao's hinterland of Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou by sea to carry out a surprise attack and disrupt Yuan Shao's rear.

Of course, Zhou Yu could also go south along the waterway to Jiaozhou, so as to capture the land of Jiaozhou for Zhu Wei, reduce the cost of land marching, and then Zhou Yu could go south along the sea route, thus opening up a maritime era of the Han Dynasty.

Okay, this is a bit far-sighted, but Zhu Wei can indeed no longer be afraid to use Zhou Yu, with the loyalty guarantee of the Three Kingdoms game system, Zhu Wei can completely let Zhou Yu go out to show his skills.

As for the whereabouts of the "Lu" famous horse, Zhu Wei didn't have any tangled arrangements at all, and it was just right to give it to Zhang Liao.

It can be said that the arrival of this treasure horse is still very timely and rainy, after giving it to Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao's loyalty will directly reach ninety-nine, and then the cavalry directly under the command of Zhang Liao can get the mobility bonus of the treasure famous horse.

Although Zhu Wei still doesn't know what kind of mobility bonus effect this treasure can have on the army in the real world, Zhu Wei believes that since the Three Kingdoms game system recognizes it as a treasure, it will definitely play a special role.

Anyway, although the Tiger Wing Battalion is nominally Zhang Xiu as the main general, the Tiger Wing Battalion is almost under Zhu Wei's direct control, so Zhu Wei can naturally make Zhang Liao a deputy general with real power to control the army.

Zhu Wei roughly planned to let Zhang Xiu be in charge of the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Tiger Wing Battalion and be responsible for charging into battle, while Zhang Liao would be in charge of the light cavalry, responsible for running and breaking the formation.

In this way, Zhu Wei really wanted to find time to see what kind of surprise Zhang Liao, who had the treasure and famous horse "Lu", what kind of surprise could he bring to Zhu Wei when he led the light cavalry into battle.

Well, it can be said that in the last season of 198, nothing else big happened on Zhu Wei's side.

If you have to say anything important, it is that with the passage of time, Wang Yuyan's belly in Zhu Wei's harem is getting bigger day by day, and according to the time, April and May of next year will be the production period.

And the war on the Yizhou side during this period was not hot or boring.

After Gan Ning and Zu Lang entered Ba County, they were temporarily engaged in an offensive and defensive battle with Pang Xi, the general under Liu Zhang's account in Yizhou, and it was obvious that Gan Ning's initial raid strategy was unsuccessful, so he fell into a "bitter battle" of attacking the city on the side of Jiangzhou City.

In 316 B.C., Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi built the first "Jiangzhou" city recorded in historical records, which was slightly smaller than the Shaofu City in Chengdu.

Jiangzhou City is opposite to Ershuikou, the right is Fu Neishui (now Jialing River), and the left is Shu Waishui (Yangtze River), which shows that this Jiangzhou City is actually like a peninsula-type city that extends to the river in the mountains of Shudiba County.

In fact, this Jiangzhou City was originally built here, but also to facilitate the needs of Shudi's external waterway shipping, so Jiangzhou City is more like a transit station for Shudi's shipping route to the outside world.

Today, this Jiangzhou city is still an ancient city left over from the Qin period, rather than a new city built by Li Yan on the Yuzhong Peninsula during the later Shu Han Dynasty.

In fact, relatively speaking, today's Jiangzhou City is not so difficult to attack, but after all, this Jiangzhou City is also built in the Shu land between the steep mountains, think about the later generations of Chongqing called the mountain city, you can know that the Jiangzhou City at this time can also be regarded as a special city built in the mountains, close to the Jialing River and the Yangtze River waterway.

Therefore, although there are many barbarian warriors brought by Gan Ning and Zu Lang this time, it is not easy to go ashore to attack Jiangzhou City from the land, and they can only attack Jiangzhou City through the two water gates connecting the Jialing River and the Yangtze River.

In this way, the barbarian warriors who were originally going to be the main force of the siege were not much used, and these barbarian warriors may be able to exert good combat effectiveness in the mountains, but most of the warships and river boats are unstable, and many people are still seasick.

Therefore, it seems that the main force of the siege can only be handed over to Gan Ning's Jiangjiao Battalion Naval Army, but Ganning's Jiangjiao Battalion Naval Army is only 16,000 or 7,000 people after all, and if you want to storm Jiangzhou City, there are some insufficient troops.

At this time, it was Liu Zhang's general Pang Xi who guarded Jiangzhou City, and he was originally ready to continue to use troops in Brazil after he led 30,000 Shu troops to attack Jiangzhou City.

In terms of original history, Pang Xi should have captured Brazil County, and then was named the Brazilian Taishou by Liu Zhang, and has been helping Liu Zhang to defend against Zhang Lu in Brazil.

It can be said that Pang Xi was also entrenched in Brazil County in the later period to support his own troops, and on the surface, he seemed to help Liu Zhang defend against Zhang Lu, but in fact he became a vassal of his own.

Later, when Liu Bei attacked Yizhou, Zhuge Liang personally led his troops along the Yangtze River into Shu, which was the first Jiangzhou City, and then sent Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei to capture Jiangyang County and Brazil County respectively, and as a result, Pang Xi, who was entrenched in Brazil County, also surrendered to Liu Bei.

But now Pang Xi has just taken Jiangzhou City, Zhu Wei's army came to Jiangzhou City, Pang Xi was worried that his back road would be cut off, so he took the initiative to withdraw from Ba County to Jiangzhou City.

In this way, Pang Xi is equivalent to holding Jiangzhou City with an army of 30,000, but he is also full of troops, which naturally makes Jiangzhou City even less easy to capture.

Although Zhu Wei used gunpowder to blow up the water gate, the problem was that the water gate of Jiangzhou City was located in a special location, but it seemed to be concave inside the city walls on both sides, so the boats sent by Gan Ning could not easily get close to the water gate, so naturally there was no way to directly blow up the water gate.

At the same time, Ganning's navy could not directly launch any offensive against the location of the water gate, and it seemed that they could only find the city wall to break through.

However, the Jialing River and the Yangtze River around Jiangzhou City have become natural moats, although the city wall is still hundreds of steps away from the river, but many of the equipment that Zhu Wei's army usually uses to attack the city cannot be transported and erected on the tidal flats, which makes Zhu Wei's army's siege methods also subject to many restrictions.

In desperation, Gan Ning had no choice but to transport the Thunderbolt catapult to the large river ship warship, and with the help of the river boat as the base, he bombarded the city wall of Jiangzhou with the catapult to suppress the defense of Jiangzhou City.

Then send a river boat to transport those barbarian warriors hired by Zulang to the tidal flats of Jiangzhou City, and finally use those hired barbarian warriors as the main force of the ant siege city......
