Chapter 255: Forcing back the Jiangdong Naval Division

Knowing that the Liaodong Sailor was coming, Gan Zhuo, who had always loved to be entangled, was entangled again when faced with a choice, I don't know if it was the Liaodong Sailor who was directly repelled by force? Or just retreat and let the Yangtze River channel go and let the Liaodong Navy Division take Wei Shuo?

Either way, Gandra won't end up with anything good. If the Jiangdong Navy Division blocked the Yangtze River in the name of intercepting the displaced people going south before, and it was still explained to the outside world, then once there was a conflict with the Liaodong Navy Division, the political disaster caused by it was definitely not something he could bear!

Regardless of victory or defeat after the war, Gandra will be held accountable as a scapegoat!

But if he wants to retreat without a fight, he will definitely let Wei Shuo return to Liaodong smoothly, and he will not be able to face the reproach of the Jiangzuo family.

The warships of the Liaodong Naval Division that suddenly appeared were densely packed all over the river.

What should I do? Gan Zhuo looked at the slowly approaching Liaodong Sailor, and his heart was full of entanglement!

Gan Zhuo looked intently, only to see faintly heard all kinds of orders coming, in this shouting one after another, nearly a hundred warships were spread on the river, the sand boat fighting ships, the Mengchong battleships were clearly layered, and there were more boats shuttling back and forth in the middle, contacting the ships, indicating that the Liaodong Navy Division was familiar with water warfare, and it was by no means a rabble.

The Liaodong Navy Division tried his best to attack, so that Gan Zhuo had to deal with it carefully. It's not that he is worried that he can't defeat the Liaodong Naval Division, after all, the Jiangdong Naval Division has an advantage in terms of strength and experience, but he is a little entangled in the huge consequences of the war.

The Wu Jun family didn't expect Gan Zhuo to hesitate and entangle at a critical moment, it didn't matter if he hesitated, but he gave Mr. Liu the opportunity to break through the blockade of the Jiangdong Naval Division. To say that Mr. Liu was not nervous at all in the face of the famous Jiangdong sailor before, it is absolutely impossible.

Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Jiangdong Naval Division has been the biggest reliance on a corner of Jiangdong, and he is skilled in water warfare, and he is by no means a wasted person. Originally, if the Liaodong Naval Division wanted to break a way for Wei Shuo to survive by hard encounters, he would have to pay a huge price. But I never thought about it because of Ganzhuo's entanglement. As a result, the Jiangdong Naval Division did not react in time and missed the best opportunity to defeat the Liaodong Naval Division.

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is not easy to turn the tables once you miss the fighter!

Mr. Liu has experienced a hundred battles and is decisive in killing, how can he be as entangled as Gan Zhuo, he seized the fleeting opportunity. commanded the Liaodong Naval Division to force the Jiangdong Naval Division in one fell swoop.

The sound of horns on the river continued to sound, the sails were pulled up, the sound of water waves, the sound of oars, and the sound of sailors' horns were noisy on the river.

General Liu personally supervised the battle, ignoring the upstream advantage of the Jiangdong Naval Division, and taking advantage of the enemy's hesitation, he quickly arranged a triangular attack formation, with 30 medium-sized warships in the center, and 60 Mengchong and Zhugong on both sides. The rest of the dozens of small boats were all placed in the rear and rushed straight to the opposite Jiangdong Naval Division.

One hundred and ten warships of the Liaodong Naval Division, stretching for hundreds of zhang, mighty and mighty, ran towards the Jiangdong Naval Division.

It is said that the Jiangdong Navy Division took advantage of the time, place and people, but because the main general hesitated to avoid the battle, he was forced to retreat again and again by the Liaodong Navy Division.

"Set fire to the boat!" The soldiers on board quickly untied the boat, and the oars danced in unison. Swiftly swiped backwards.

One by one, the fireships carried the flames that soared into the sky, taking advantage of the wind. Like a fire dragon rushing towards the Jiangdong Water Division, it was unstoppable.

Gan Zhuo looked at the monstrous flames on the river, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop the enemy ships quickly!" Stop the enemy ships! ”

Seeing that the time had come, Mr. Liu let out an earth-shattering roar: "The whole army is assaulting!" ”

The sound of the horn sounded continuously, like the magic sound of life. Blew away the clouds in the sky. Hundreds of cowhide drums were beaten in unison, and the sound of agitation rose to the sky, and the strong drum sound made the river vibrate.

Fortunately, Gan Zhuo was experienced in battle, so he did not panic, and ordered his men to retreat and disperse to avoid the attack of the fireships. On the one hand, he did not forget to appease everyone: "Although our army has hundreds of warships, the waters of the Yangtze River are spacious, as long as we are flexible in dodging, we will not be attacked by fire." Even if the Liaodong Naval Division released 3,000 fireships, it would not affect the prestige of our army. ”

Unless the enemy ship is stationary, the strategy of fire attack can generally only be used as an auxiliary, and cannot be relied on as a decisive weapon. In the Battle of Chibi that year, the reason why the Eastern Wu Fire Attack was able to make a contribution was mostly because Cao Wei gathered ships and blocked the river with iron locks, which was difficult to dodge. It is precisely because of this that although they saw the Jiangdong Navy Division release the ship to attack, Gan Zhuo and other Jiangdong-born generals were not afraid and faced it calmly.

Mr. Liu saw that the Jiangdong Sailor was not confused, but he also showed a little admiration, and the Jiangdong Sailor was really strong. However, even so, the Jiangdong Naval Division had been disrupted by the Liaodong Naval Division, and it was not suitable to fight again, and Gan Zhuo, who was already very entangled, was no longer entangled now, and immediately ordered a retreat.

Looking at the Jiangdong sailors who were slowly retreating, Mr. Liu was relieved. Don't look at the posture he put on just now, in fact, he is also afraid that he will really fight with the Jiangdong Sailor to lose both.

"Lord, the last general will welcome the late, and I hope to forgive my sins!"

"Hey, Zhixuan lived up to expectations and forced back the powerful Jiangdong Water Division, he is a meritorious person, what is the crime?"

Without the Jiangdong Naval Division blocking the way, Wei Shuo and the others finally embarked on the journey back to Liaodong. However, just as the fleet set sail, it encountered another trouble.

It turned out that after the Jiangdong Navy Division was forced to retreat, the Yangtze River channel was opened again, and the northerners who had gathered in Linhuaijing and Guangling on the north bank took the opportunity to go south.

At this time, most of the homeless marshals stationed between the Jianghuai and the Langya King had a history of resisting Hu Qian in the north. The armed forces under their command have been with each other for a long time, and they are more or less private soldiers. Although King Langya had to pay attention to them, he didn't dare to use them boldly with confidence.

Generally speaking, the king of Langya was entrusted with the titles of Taishou, Assassin Shi, and General according to the original status and strength of the exile marshal, and was bound outside the Yangtze River to refuse them to cross the Yangtze River.

For example, when Zu Ti led the people to the south and reached Sikou, Sima Rui, the evil king of Lang, "reversed" it as the history of Xuzhou Thorn; Later, Su Jun led his troops from Qingzhou to the Yangtze River, reached Guangling, and soon was ordered to return north to Suiling to fight. And Cai Bao took refuge in the southward with Qinghe Taishou, and Sima Rui thought that Linhuai Taishou and Xuzhou Sima were living in Jiangbei.

If Wei Shuo hadn't changed Liu Yao's fate, Liu Yao's army would only be active in Xiapi, Pengcheng, and Sikou in the future, and the southernmost area would not be Linhuai.

Generally speaking, the homeless handsomes who come from the south and stop in the Jianghuai River are either not high, or they have a portal background but they do not have the interest of celebrities and gentlemen. For example, Zu Ti is from the old surname of Beizhou, but he himself is "heroic" and "heroic"; Cai Bao is out of Chen Liu's high school, and his "air and dryness", his quality is not like that of the children of the scholar family; Su Jun "originally used to be a single family, gathering crowds to interfere with the situation", and his family and character were not allowed to enter the Shiliu.

These nominally attached to the Jin Dynasty had long been in the midst of various political forces in the north, and they had to spy on the situation at any time in order to survive. After they came south, they retained considerable political independence from Jiang Zuo. even neglected the fate of the dynasty and was domineering. They have a strong position on one side, each doing their own thing, there is no royal law and no military discipline, and some have to rely on robbing houses and houses, intercepting travelers to raise supplies, even Zu Ti, Su Jun, and Cai Bao's subordinates are also like this.

Looking at the displaced people struggling in the waves, Wei Shuo's eyes were gloomy, he didn't know how many people would bury their fish bellies because of this, but he knew that even if he was lucky enough to reach the south shore safely, what awaited the displaced people was by no means a stable life. A large number of old and weak women and children will be reduced to the slaves of the wealthy clan, and the young and strong will be conscripted into the army by Jiang Zuoqiang.

"Shirong, what do you say if we set up a shelter in Jiangbei and then take a large number of displaced people gathered on the north bank to Liaodong for resettlement?"

Wei Shuo had this proposal, first, he couldn't bear the suffering of the displaced people going south, and second, the vast and sparsely populated area of Liaodong was in need of the displaced people. The Jiangzuo family thought that the displaced people were all a burden, but they didn't know how they could beat the Hu people without enough population? Since Jiangdong didn't want to carry this burden, Wei Shuo didn't mind placing the displaced people in Liaodong.

"Lord, although this discussion is good, it needs the cooperation of Jiangbei Zu Li, Su Jun, and Cai Bao! As long as they were willing, even King Langya would not be able to stop the exiles from heading north. ”

"Well, it seems that I have to go to Huaiyin to visit the ancestral assassin in person!"

Thinking of Zu Ti, Wei Shuo couldn't help but recall his years in Xuzhou. (To be continued.) )
