Baling County is the gateway to Southern Chu, and it is naturally guarded by elite soldiers. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Captain Baling's name is Zou Qiang, a civilian, he joined the Pingbo Army 20 years ago, and he was extremely brave in battle, and he was also very good at training, so he was arranged by Zhu Lie in this critical position.

You must know that in the state of Chu, the position of an officer has not been devalued. In the whole country, including Zhu Lie, there are less than ten generals in total. Below is the thirty-three captains, and as the captain of the county guarding important border cities, it is enough to rank in the top ten. That is to say, he can be called one of the top 20 figures in the military.

This can be called a miracle in the Chu State of Birth-only theory. Therefore, Zou Qiang can be said to have a deep sense of Shangzhuguo, and he can't repay him with death.

This time he finally had a chance to repay, and he naturally had to use all his strength to feed. Not only did he pull all his subordinates over, but he also personally boarded the 'first boarding' boat and commanded the Baling Army to seize the beachhead.

In order to prevent the enemy from 'half-crossing attack', he also specially ordered his subordinates to fire several volleys, and as a result, a sandbar was shot into a hedgehog island, but not even a single human hair was injured.

Seeing that Yashi had no effect, Zou Qiang had no choice but to order his subordinates to attack. More than a dozen first-boarding boats approached from all sides of the sandbar, dozens of pedals were laid down at the same time, and the heavily armed Baling army poured up the sandbar like a tide, and soon surrounded the black-clothed guards in the center.

Seeing that the enemy still didn't react, Zou Qiang made a difficulty. You know, the order given by the Shangzhu Kingdom is: 'Keep the pressure on, and strictly prohibit the capture.' That is to say, this is a plan of 'encircling points and sending reinforcements', and if you want to send reinforcements, you can't lose the points.

"Surround but not fight!" Zou Qiang is a qualified general, which is reflected in his uncompromising execution of the orders of his superiors.

As a result, there was a very comical scene on the mouth of the river -- the vast river was indistinguishable from life and death, and the sandbar crowded with people was extremely quiet...... The black-clothed guard and the Baling Army were only a few feet apart, and their eyes were wide and small.

According to common sense, Zhu Lie's tactics were correct...... He knew that the Zhennan Army's trip was to receive Qin Lei back to China. Therefore, if you want to leave Bo Xian behind, you must first leave Qin Yutian behind. According to common sense, as long as Qin Lei is trapped there, the Zhennan army that has parted from Bo Xiang will have to drive over in a steady stream. And at the same time, his great river sailors will also continue to drive over. Eventually, a hard-fought battle will be launched at the mouth of the river...... It's the wisest choice I can make when I'm strong and weak.

From the beginning to the present, he has acted treacherously, spared Qin Lei and Bo Xian, and wanted to be an upright division to start a main showdown to minimize the possibility of accidents. The art of war is cloudy: all those who fight: to recruit and merge, to win with surprise soldiers. Therefore, Zhu Lie is indeed worthy of his title of a famous general in the world.

But...... It is said that nine out of ten things in the world are bad on this but.

He still underestimated the parting of Bo Xiang, and underestimated a heart full of hatred and a lifelong ambition to defeat him; He underestimated Qin Yutian even more, a commander who was far more mature than his years and could never figure it out.

The reason why it is impossible to figure out is because Qin Lei's combat thinking is too different from this era. Aside from the differences in the thinking of army building, such as attaching importance to long-range strikes and taking the route of elite troops, the biggest difference is...... He paid great attention to battle planning.

Before each battle, he would work with his own brain to repeatedly deliberate on the whole battle, the process, the results, the impact, etc., and imagine all the possibilities...... Especially the bad possibility. He then proposes a response to each of these possibilities to address the various impacts. This process is meticulous and complicated, and a slightly large-scale battle will make him work for three or five days and nights, and the hardships are enough to make anyone crazy, but Qin Lei will still be meticulous and look very masochistic.

This is the imprint of his previous life, which is incomprehensible to any general in the current life, because it is a respect for life. Moreover, he believes that experienced soldiers are the most valuable resources in war, and although there must be sacrifices, there can be no unnecessary sacrifices, and they cannot be like the generals of the time.

Understanding this, you can understand the reason for Qin Lei's self-abuse.

The reason why it is undefeated is because it is impossible to lose. The reason why it is impossible to lose is because he does not fight a defeated battle, and he can deal with all the possibilities that lead to defeat.

What the? You say you will lose this battle? It's still early!

The battle has entered a stalemate, with bloody battles on the river and cold wars on the sandbars......

Although the battle situation was different, the performance of the two leaders of the Qin army was the same, and they both set their sights in the direction of Baling City.

Zhu Lie's plan seems to be perfect, but there is an imperceptible loophole in its execution...... He was ready to launch a strategic decisive battle at the mouth of the river, but these troops were obviously not enough in front of him. Therefore, he must mobilize the naval armies of Chibi, Xiakou, Wuchang, and even Jiujiang to come to the battle.

However, in the early stage of the campaign, in order to achieve the goal of confusing the Qin army, he ordered the defenders in various places to strictly defend and not to be easily dispatched. As a generation of famous generals, of course he would not make this low-level mistake of 'one woman marrying two husbands', so he ordered the naval armies in various places to follow closely once the Qin army retreated, and follow the Zhennan army east into the mouth of the river, so that he could always maintain sufficient troops, and the Chu army was good at water warfare, so that the two-pronged approach could always maintain an advantage.

The reason why the army did not fight a decisive battle was because he was afraid of scaring away the parting of Bo Xiang and the fact that he would not be able to reach it quickly. It's better to eat it bite by bite, and it is safe to boil the toad in warm water without hurry. The ancients said it well: 'Zero cutting meat is not distressing'......

In order to show off in front of the eldest princess, he also called it 'adding oil and vinegar tactics'!

Having said all this, it's all about its benefits, so where are the loopholes? Just one word...... What if the Zhennan naval army attacking all over the place does not retreat? Quite simply, the fleets he prepared to come to participate in the campaign would abide by the first military order and honestly retreat to their respective defense zones...... Although it is not difficult to break through, Shangzhu Country will not let it.

Of course, as a famous general, he must have two more brushes than others, and it is impossible for Zhu Lie not to consider this situation. However, he believed that he would save the enemy, and the Zhennan Army would definitely withdraw from the battlefields in various places and return to the aid of Sanjiangkou.

And 10,000 steps back, even if the Qin army does not come back to help, the Chu army is not afraid, because on the battlefield of Sanjiangkou, Bo Xian's parting strategy fleet was entangled by the Xiangyang Lake naval army, and his Chinese army had no way to take the Haiyu warship, so the victory would still belong to the Chu army, and everything was only a matter of time.

But as we said, the reason why famous generals are famous generals is because they have two more brushes than ordinary generals. And Qin Lei and Bo Xian parted, and it will soon be proved that they are also famous generals, so they also have two more brushes.

Zou Qiang was eye-to-eye with Qin Lei, but he heard someone in the Baling army shouting loudly, he couldn't help but look back, and he was suddenly shocked...... I saw a black and oppressive ship sailing on the northwest river, and the destination was Baling City on the east bank of the estuary!

And ninety percent of the defenders of Baling City ran to the sandbar, and the city was extremely empty!

"Quickly report to Shangzhu Kingdom!" At this time, it was too late to return for help, Zou Qiang did not dare to act rashly, and hurriedly ordered someone to take a speedboat to report.

In fact, there was no need for him to report it, Shangzhu Guo, who was standing high on the ship, had already seen the huge fleet...... The reason why I say that it is a fleet, because it is not a fleet, there are no warships, only all kinds of merchant ships, transport ships, and even fishing boats that can only stand for about a dozen people!

This motley army has no combat effectiveness at all, and their only purpose can only be to transport troops, and the purpose can only be Baling County in Jiangdong. In normal times, Lord Shangzhu naturally doesn't care about these chickens and dogs, and he only needs to send a detachment to clean it up. But now, there are no more troops to deploy other than himself.

It's like two masters competing for internal strength, and when it's time for life and death, a child suddenly inserts a chicken feather into one of the nostrils...... Although weak, it is enough to decide the outcome of the battle.

Not because Baling is an important town, transportation hub, developed economy, and great significance in the Chu Kingdom, but because the Great Chu has been established for 200 years and has never been captured by anyone! If he is succeeded by the enemy, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame forever, and the wisdom of the ages will be lost, and the shame and shame cannot be washed away even if he dies!

This is absolutely unacceptable to the successful person Zhu Hongjun!

"They must not be allowed to land!" Zhu Lie slapped the railing vigorously, gritted his teeth and said, "The Chinese army stepped forward!" "Since there is no adjustment, then you can only step forward in person and fight hard!

Although the situation seemed extremely urgent, Zhu Lie and his generals were not too worried, because the structure of the warship full of weapons was completely different from that of ordinary ships, and the combat power was not comparable in the slightest! At that time, the huge special chaos fleet of Western Qin had more than 200 large and small ships, and it was still seven or eight miles away from the east coast. Although the 30 warships of Southern Chu were farther away from the east coast, the Chu army was smooth, and its speed was more than twice that of the Qin army, and it was more than enough to stop in front of the Qin army.

As for the number ratio of 200 to 30, Chu Jun was not worried...... When two hundred sheep meet thirty wolves, who will win? At least that's what Chu Jun thinks.

The seven huge ships slowly moved northward, and the thirty warships that escorted them rushed out directly, blocking those rabble on the river no matter what...... Not an inch of land in Nanchu can fall!

'If you have any real skills, just show them, that's not enough!' Zhu Lie stared at the huge fleet, now that the battle situation was clear, if the Qin army did not have any new tricks, it would definitely be defeated.

But Bo Xian is obviously an old man with many tricks, and it can be seen from the fact that he can openly sell officers, this man is by no means honest! And the more dishonest a person is, the more cunning he is in fighting......

When the two sides were less than five miles apart, the right flank of the huge fleet suddenly dispersed, revealing the Chinese army, which had been tightly blocked.

It was a fleet, not a fleet, but a fleet of brand-new warships, whose identities were indicated by the flags...... Xiangyang Lake Water Army!

As soon as the passage appeared, the wolves in sheep's clothing rushed out of the flock, and there were as many as forty.

Although it was against the water, the speed of the Xiangyang Lake water army was extremely fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, it completely broke away from the special chaos fleet and blocked the way of the Chu army.

Looking at these half-killed Cheng biting gold, the soldiers of the Chu army couldn't help but be stunned......

I saw that these warships were eight zhang long, three zhang high, and four zhang wide, and there were wall-like parapets on both sides of the ship's side and bow and stern, and these parapets were covered with iron sheets from top to bottom, which could isolate arrows and stones and resist fire attacks. Inside the parapet stood the Qin soldiers, who were stubborn and ready to fight. Of course, this is not surprising, after all, you can't ask everyone to make a warship look like one.

What's really weird...... These battleships turned out to be without pulp! Although the warships of various countries have developed their personalities, they must have this thing, otherwise why do they move?

But it just doesn't have a pulp! And it's fast! This made the soldiers of the Chu army mutter, is it witchcraft?

"Paddle steamer!" Not everyone doesn't know it, at least the general of Shangzhu Guoda does, which shows that leadership is leadership.

But Zhu Lie's face was not the slightest smug, but his face was very ugly. He found out that he was wrong from the start! In the face of a seemingly weak enemy, he was too supportive...... He underestimated his opponents! Underestimate their courage and determination!

This courage belongs to Qin Lei, his status is precious, but he resolutely used himself as bait to attract the defenders in Baling City and open up the space for the special chaos fleet to smash the Yellow Dragon.

This determination came to Bo Xian's parting, and he secretly gathered twelve percent of his strength and launched an unreserved battle against Zhu Lie!

One side supports the big and underestimates the enemy, the other side goes all out, and the balance of victory will naturally re-tilt!

Zhu Lie looked at the strange paddle steamers, and an equally strange thought rose in his mind: 'Who is it that has a mind and no mind?' Although he was a little caught off guard, he had experienced too many storms and waves, and he quickly suppressed the panic in his heart, and fixed his eagle-sharp gaze on the sandbar by the river.

Instead of examining his own mistakes like ordinary generals, his whole mind shifted to how to turn the situation around. The name of the second best general in the world is really not blowing! Soon, he was keenly aware of the enemy's weaknesses!

In fact, that weakness has always been there, but he didn't pay much attention to it before.

That's the sandbar...... The guy above.

Zhu Lie did not despise Qin Lei, in Zhu Lie's opinion, the prince of the Qin State should be very weighty, so important that he had to come to the rescue in person. Although he does not despise him, in the hearts of the Lord of Shangzhu Kingdom, he is still far less important than Bo Xian Bili and Zhennan Army.

That's why he set up a formation to encircle the point and send reinforcements, focusing on reinforcements.

But when that thug fleet appeared, he realized that he was very wrong! You must know that the two countries did not declare war, nor did they reach any existential stake, but Bo Xiang parted and sent out the last sampan.

What is he going to do? It's just to save people, who to save? It's just the man on the sandbank.

Zhu Lie was shocked to find that in Bo Xian's parting heart, that person was even more important than his Zhennan army.

As an opponent, Zhu Lie knew the level of Bo Xian's separation, and also believed in his judgment, and came to a conclusion based on this:

Qin Yutian is the most valuable target!

Although I don't know what magic the young prince has, we will break whatever enemy is precious. Zhu Lie roared viciously: "Order Zou Qiang! Storm Qin Yutian! Live or die! ”

"What about Yunluo?" The eldest princess, who had been pretending to be indifferent, finally couldn't help but speak up.

But the herald captain didn't look at the eldest princess at all, saluted the Shangzhu Kingdom, and then turned around and went downstairs to give the order.

also felt that he was a little desperate, Zhu Lie glanced at the eldest princess embarrassedly, and explained in a low voice: "The soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored." I can't think too much about other factors......"

The eldest princess's face was pale, but she did not speak.

Seeing that he had received her understanding, Zhu Lie felt even more embarrassed, and hurriedly promised: "As long as it is possible, I will definitely guarantee the safety of the princess, you can rest assured." ”

The eldest princess shook her head, and tears flowed uncontrollably, like lilies with dew in the rain......

War, please women go away......
