Lu Xun used his own way, his own beliefs, and his own will and courage to ignite the fire of the will of the Chu State Navy and inject the nascent military soul!

The main warships of the Wu State that resisted head-on were retreating one after another, and the speed of ship damage and casualties was very fast, even if Cheng Pu personally sat in the town and constantly made various emergency dispatches, it can be said that the means were exhausted, but it was still difficult to change anything, not that he commanded poorly, not that he was not capable enough, but that he was really powerless.

Soon, the encirclement deployed by Cheng Pu was torn open from the front and from his previous life, and it was completely dilapidated.

At this time, he looked a little lost, looking at the looming tall figure on the distant warship, chattering to himself.

"Wu Guo's water army is over!"

Pan Zhang, who was beside him, did not have his earlier arrogance, and his face was dazed.

"Then how can Lu Xun be so good that he can make the waste-like Chu State Navy so powerful?"

"The water army of the Chu State has never been a waste, it is a sleeping lion, tonight Lu Boyan will completely wake them up, and they will definitely become a problem for the henchmen of the Wu State!" Cheng Pu said bitterly.

"Alas! Why did this Lu Xun vote for Chu in the first place? Isn't he from the Lu family? Pan Zhang complained resentfully.

Hearing this, Cheng Pu was silent, and after a pause for a moment, he shook his head helplessly.

"It's too late to regret! It's too late to regret! It's not that Lu Xun has no intention of serving Wu, but that he has been slighted! ”

"Slow? Why is that? Pan Zhang asked suspiciously.

"Don't you know, Lu Xun also had a slight reputation in Jiangdong back then, and Lu Su recommended him to the lord and the young master, and the young master Sun Ce asked him at that time. How can you compare to Zhou Yu? There is no distinction between high and low words. Strengths. It depends. But Zhou Yu's talent has always been deeply admired by the young master, and his words caused the young master to dislike it, thinking that he was a boastful and nominal person, so he had no intention of settling down well, and only let him be a little Sima. ”

"Lu Xun didn't take office later?" Pan Zhang asked.

"Nope!" Cheng Pu's face was full of regret. Under the pretext of suddenly contracting a serious illness, he resigned and returned to his hometown, and soon thereafter heard that he had gone to serve the state of Chu. At that time, Lu Su said to me. The young master despises the virtuous because of his likes and dislikes for a while, and he will regret it. At that time, I didn't think about it, but I didn't think about it, but today, if I could have listened to Lu Su's advice and persuaded the young master together, how could I have today? ”

As Cheng Pu's slightly remorseful words fell, neither of them said anything more, looking numbly at the rapidly retreating fleet.

Because the main flotilla in front of the Wu State Navy was torn apart, which made them completely cut off from the left and right flanks, no matter how they commanded now, it was meaningless. With the way the order was delivered at this time, the order could not be conveyed at all. It can only be decided by the generals over there.

Time gradually passed, and after Lu Xun tore through the encirclement of Wu State, he soon showed his command talent in water warfare.

His warship queue was originally hiding a killing game, but at this moment, it was separated from the left, center, and right lanes, and immediately turned into a kind of shock queue. Then the left and right flanks turned in a fan, the small warships accelerated forward, and the large warships intervened, and in a very short time, the counter-encirclement of the Wu naval army was completed.

The middle warship is centered on his flagship, and after breaking out of the encirclement, the full rudder turns back on the spot, forming a situation where small assault warships charge in front and heavy warships suppress in the rear, and launch a strong attack on Wu State.

Served!

Wang Xu was convinced, Zhou Zhi was convinced, and even Cai Mao and Zhang Yun, two old generals of the navy who were originally very dissatisfied with Lu Xun, had to be convinced at this moment.

At this time, everyone knew in their hearts that Lu Xun was an excellent commander.

From the very beginning, I found out at a glance what the problem of the water army was, what a brilliant insight it was!

Using his own way and personality to arouse the fighting spirit of the water army, highlighting his wisdom and personal charm!

The way of all-out breakthrough is not only to resurrect the place of death, but also to paralyze the enemy and lure the other party to deploy as expected. When he predicted what Wu would do and what kind of changes his array would make under the deployment of Wu Guo, his own tactical arrangement was hidden in the queue in advance.

To put it simply, under normal circumstances, the array is bound to become more and more chaotic. But Lu Xun is different, he predicted in advance how the array will be chaotic and what kind of changes will occur, and the appearance after these chaos is the tactic he really wants to achieve.

He integrated the deployment of tactics into the entire campaign process, did not deliberately schedule, did not deliberately set up the formation, but just made careful calculations, and in the continuous action, let the final tactical arrangement form naturally, without traces, which can be described as natural......

When the soft light of the early morning sprinkled out, when Wu Guo took advantage of the fog to cover the breakthrough and the dust of the battle settled, Wang Xu finally couldn't help but sigh sincerely.

"Lu Boyan is a real commander! A true master tactician! This is a famous general who is really good at using soldiers and knows how to use soldiers! It is my luck, the luck of the Chu country, and the luck of the world! ”

In this battle, the Wu navy was completely defeated, and nearly half of the warships were lost.

This is a water battle, not a land war, and in the battle between the two naval armies, the loss of nearly half of them is equivalent to complete defeat. With such large losses in a fleet, the reduction in combat effectiveness is by no means half the problem. More importantly, the recovery time of the combat effectiveness of the naval army is very slow, and the manpower, material resources, and time consumed by the construction of each warship are huge.

Lu Xun became famous for his surprise attack, but it was not until this battle that he really jumped into the forest of famous generals and was praised by the world.

Known in history as the Battle of Pengze!

In this battle, the Wu naval army was defeated, and Lu Xun led the Haiyun Army to completely control the hegemony on the Yangtze River.

Soon, the Haiyun Legion landed, and Lu Xun then ordered a comprehensive replenishment of food.

At this time, Wang Xu suddenly discovered that a large number of medium-sized warships in the rear, which did not participate in the battle, were still fully loaded with food.

Xiang Tian was puzzled, and asked out loud: "What is Lu Boyan going to do?" Get so much food to carry? You don't ask? ”

Wang Xu shrugged: "I don't know, he is the commander now, you can ask yourself." I don't know why. Now I see what he's doing weirdly. I don't feel anxious at all! ”

"Is this convincing?" Zhou Zhi smiled.

"Perhaps! Lu Xun used his table xiàn. Proves that he is trustworthy enough. ”

From beginning to end, this kind of doubt has not been solved, Lu Xun did not come to see Wang Xu, did not rush to hand over the order, did not return the "cadre sword", just did it according to his own method. Wang Xu didn't send someone to summon him, nor did he interfere too much, and let Lu Xun do it.

The dispatch of grain did not last long. In the evening, Lu Xun asked Song Qian and Cai Mao to lead the main force, mainly a large number of heavy warships and medium-sized transfer ships, to chase in the direction of the retreat of Wu's naval army, and the order issued shocked everyone.

He asked Song Qian, Cai Mao, and Fan Tong to lead the main force of the navy and go straight to Jianye, the capital of Wu State, along the waterway, but they were not allowed to get off the ship, not allowed to dock, and return when the food on the ship was halfway consumed. It is mainly to repel and not to pursue. It is not allowed to leave the main channel of the Yangtze River to avoid calculations.

It can be said that Lu Xun gave Song Qian and Cai Mao a general explanation of the methods to deal with various situations, with only one purpose, to let the naval army approach the already empty capital of Wu State, force Wu State to shrink its forces, force all kinds of troops and horses to rescue, and reverse the current situation.

After being slightly surprised, Wang Xu was deeply pleased with his idea, because this was the first effective use of the water army, and this once ignored advantage began to exert its due power. It's just that he also couldn't understand why Lu Xun didn't go in person, and he also left behind a lot of medium-sized and small warships, with as many as 30,000 people.

The cold river breeze blew on his cheeks, looking at the warships of Song Qian, Cai Mao and others gradually disappearing on the river, Wang Xu smiled and relaxed, because this battle made him very worry-free, and the stuffiness that had accumulated in his heart for many days was swept away.

"My lord! Lord!! ”

Suddenly, Lu Xun's familiar call came from far away, and he quickly approached.

Wang Xu turned his head and saw Lu Xun's high-spirited and energetic appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Bo Yan, Peng Ze is a great victory, you have made great contributions!" ”

"Worrying for the Lord is a matter for the general!" Lu Xun smiled, but maintained a humble attitude. "The end will come, and there is one more thing to ask for!"

"Oh? Tell me about it. ”

"The last general implores the lord to continue to march with the army and go south together."

"To the south?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth showed a nonchalant smile.

"What? Do you want to lead the rest of the navy army along the waterway into the hinterland of Yuzhang, cut off the grain route of the Chaisang Wu army, and cut off its way back? ”

"The lord is wise, the last general does have this idea, but there is still one thing to do before cutting off his way back. This time I implore the lord to go, because I am afraid that this strategy will require the lord to go out in person to defeat the enemy. Lu Xun said with an unfathomable smile.

"Oh? Need me? ”

Wang Xu was finally a little surprised, and looked at Lu Xun, who was confident, for a long time, before nodding with a smile: "Okay, then I will wait for you to dispatch everything else, but you don't need to worry about what I need to do, but you can just tell me." ”

"Thank you, my lord! The last general will give a great gift to the lord to thank him for his trust and support. ”

Lu Xun bowed deeply, his heart was very moved, he is a person who knows the past and the present, and he knows very well how rare a hero like Wang Xu is, he can achieve a big victory in this battle, how can he succeed without Wang Xu's support? The so-called famous generals need to be mastered, and if there is no help from the master, any general will be struggling.

In the face of Lu Xun's gratitude, Wang Xu didn't care, waved his hand and said: "Okay, do what you want, you are now the commander, and the whole army listens to you, but you have to remember that the power is in whose hands, and the responsibility is also in whose hands, you must keep it in mind!" ”

"The good words of the lord will not be forgotten in the end!" Lu Xun made a sonorous voice and resolutely agreed.

Lu Xun left, but Wang Xu fell into deep thought, he was thinking about what Lu Xun wanted to do.

As for why he didn't ask directly, the reason was very simple, when he already regarded Lu Xun as his right-hand man, and Lu Xun himself was also the commander-in-chief, he didn't need to ask about everything, he just needed to wait for the results, and it was enough to ensure the cohesion of the whole army.

If you ask too many questions, it will only put pressure on Lu Xun, and he will think that the strategy has been set, and he will not dare to change it, and the predetermined goal will not change with the shape, which will greatly imprison his thinking and make him constrained, but it will not achieve the best effect.

At this time, if you want to know, then think for yourself, if you can't figure it out, then wait for the result, this is the way he has accumulated over the years.

Xiang Tian next to him thought for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, and he felt itchy again, so he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what does Lu Xun want to do?" ”

The corners of Wang Xu's mouth drew his habitual arc, and he walked forward, leaving only a faint sentence.

"He wants to fight Luling, but I don't know what his tricks are, let's wait and see!" (To be continued......)
