Chapter 361: Capturing the Jiangdong Army

An ambush in a water war is not like being on land, not to mention that it is difficult to know the opponent's march route in time like on land, but it is impossible to hide and ambush on the unobstructed water.

If you're not careful, you'll fall into the other party's encirclement.

As for sending people to dive and ambush, it was even more of a joke, the icy water was enough to freeze and drown those who wanted to do so, and no matter how elite the navy was, it was impossible to do so.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Wei Tao to ambush the other party as if he was on land.

"And since Sun Quan has set the theory of a war the day after tomorrow, then I am afraid that the other party will arrive tonight, and after a day or two of rest, it will be a war with our army, and if there is no preparation, even if Xingba is transferred, it is impossible to defeat the other party immediately."

After explaining to Wei Tao, Zhou Yu shook his head slightly and said, but Zhou Yu is Zhou Yu after all, and then he saw that his expression was slow.

"But although it can't be an ambush, it's not impossible, since Sun Quan is now really angry and wants to fight with our army, then he will definitely go out of the city to fight, and although he hastily transferred troops and took the advantage, but this tired army is not the opponent of the lord, not to mention that now I have a plan, if it is feasible, then Sun Quan may not be able to fight with the lord at that time."

"Oh? Will the plan be settled? ”

Wei Tao's eyes lit up slightly, and he really deserved to be Zhou Yu, and there was a plan between his backhands.

"Ambush."

As soon as Zhou Yu said this, Wei Tao was stunned again, only then did Zhou Yu tell himself that he could not ambush, and in the blink of an eye, he made a suggestion to himself to attack up, how could Wei Tao not be stunned?

But fortunately, Zhou Yu himself knew that his words were a little inconsistent. Then Wei Tao explained.

"My lord. If you are above the water, you can't ambush it. Although I have confidence in Xingba, after all, the Jiangdong Navy has a great name, and it is not easy to say that it can win, but what if it is on land? What is the strength of the Jiangdong Army, the lord also knows everything, in this land fight, does the lord think that it can match the lord's army? ”

"Ambush on the shore?"

Wei Tao was slightly stunned, and then understood what Zhou Yu meant, but still asked with some doubts.

"Gong Jin means that the water army is not until Jiangxia City?"

"My lord. If you have Jiangdong Sun Quan, then do you quietly transport your troops into the city and directly expose your strength above our army in the battle the day after tomorrow, or let Jiangdong reinforcements lie in ambush behind our army, and when the battle between the two armies is fierce, you will rush out and attack our army in front and back? When our army is attacked at once, it will inevitably panic, and under the combined attack from the front and back, inside and outside, how can our army not be defeated? With this opportunity, how could Sun Quan be satisfied with just defeating our army? It must also be a great attempt to defeat our army in one fell swoop and then annex all the territories of our army! ”

Wei Tao nodded slightly, indeed if he was himself, he would definitely do the same.

"But Gongjin. There are also a lot of conditions for such an ambush, and now our army is just a newcomer to Jingzhou. I am not very familiar with this geography, but I also know that there are many places near Jiangxia where boats can be parked, so how can Gong Jin know where the other party is? ”

Before, Wei Tao said that he wanted to ambush more of a sudden idea, but now Zhou Yu is obviously thinking clearly, which makes Wei Tao quite strange.

"Lord Qiqi, I really didn't know how the navy was before, but after this Lu Su arrived, he told me where the navy was."

Zhou Yu said with a smile, seeing that Wei Tao seemed puzzled, he immediately spoke for Wei Tao.

"Then Lu Su pointed out the time, that is, to inform me that Sun Quan has reinforcements, and the agreed place is to inform him where the reinforcements will be, and where he can easily go ashore and ambush our army, what is more besides this place?"

"Haha...... If Lu Zijing knew about this result, I am afraid that he would really regret it to death, just a few Lu Zijing, it is really not as good as Gong Jin! ”

Wei Tao couldn't help but smile after thinking about it slightly, things are really as Zhou Yu said, combined with the location of the decisive battle, it is indeed not difficult to find the place to land.

"The lord praises it! Na Lu Su does have the ability to look at the overall situation, but it is not detailed when it comes to specific government affairs. But if you don't do this, I'm afraid you won't be able to stop the anger in the army, in the end, this is still the master's ability! ”

Zhou Yu also laughed to himself at the moment, even Wei Tao didn't expect that Zhou Yu still had such a coagitating posture, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Huh...... If so, I've won the first battle! ”

In the middle of the night, boats and boats are rowing towards the shore, and under the moonlight, they are like swimming fish pounced.

I have to say that the children of Jiangdong really have excellent water nature, there is no port, and it is not easy to dock if you want to, but as soon as the Jiangdong soldiers jumped into the water, they pulled the boat to the shore.

After the front army came ashore, it was much easier for those behind.

The reason why this is the case is that the Jiangdong army does not want the big ship to dock to alarm others, but unfortunately, the Jiangdong army does not know that at this time, Wei Tao has secretly led people to come.

It was no one else who was following Wei Tao, it was Gan Ning and Yu Ban, looking at these Jiangdong sailors in front of him, although he knew that it was not suitable, Wei Tao still asked quietly.

"Xingba, Wenzhi. How is this Jiangdong Naval Army? ”

"Lord Qi, the Jiangdong Navy is indeed not to be underestimated, not to mention this water nature, it is already comparable to the elite of our army, and such silent actions in the dark night can also be seen that its military discipline is extraordinary, if it is really a battle, it is really difficult to say whether it will win or lose."

Gan Ning didn't hide the slightest meaning, and said in a low voice.

"However, recently, according to the order of the lord and the general, the Jingzhou Navy has been rectified and trained, and with the addition of the Jingzhou Navy Army, the strength of our army's Navy has also increased a lot, if it is a battle, it is not without a chance of victory, but no matter whether it wins or loses, I am afraid there will be a lot of casualties."

Gan Ning's words were very unpleasant, but Wei Tao nodded slightly, Wei Tao can also know what this water army will be like.

After all, at this time, when the northerners were riding horses and the southerners were sailing, although Wei Tao had already trained the navy and let them sail the sea, it was really just between the two of them compared to the Jiangdong navy.

"But tonight is different, these are obviously Jiangdong's elite sailors, once they fall here, although we can't rely on what they do, but when the time comes, it can form a situation with more strikes and fewer blows, and Jiangdong can be killed in one fell swoop!"

At this time, Yu Ban was right, but his eyes never left those soldiers.

"Lord, since it can be put on the shore to fight, it is better to wait until it has just set up camp, and then the lord will lead the cavalry to charge, that is, it can disperse its strength, and then we will lead the army to rush and kill, it should be possible!"

Wei Tao nodded slightly, this is exactly what he thought, after all, killing the Jiangdong soldiers and weakening Sun Quan's strength is what he has to do.

In fact, according to common sense, it is natural to strictly inspect a place when you first arrive like this, in case there is a counterattack, but this is obviously not an ordinary time.

In fact, the Jiangdong generals who led the army did not have much time to investigate slowly after they went ashore, and more boats and boats transported the Jiangdong soldiers ashore under his command, and although these Jiangdong troops were also elite, they were also exhausted from stealing like this, and if they didn't have the command of the general, they would have all collapsed long ago.

In addition, although there is moonlight at this time, the night is in the sky, although it is not a matter of reaching out and not seeing the five fingers, but the place where you can see is also limited, so it will not be possible to spend too much time on this exploration.

By midnight, the Jiangdong soldiers had already gone ashore, but many of them were wet, and the temporarily lit bonfires were obviously impossible for nearly 10,000 people.

If it weren't for the fact that the weather was not cold at this time, I am afraid that these people would have fallen more than half of themselves.

"Report! General Xu, all the soldiers have gone ashore, what should our army do now? ”

Just after all the Jiangdong troops went ashore, some subordinates asked the leading general, and the leading general nodded slightly, and just opened his mouth.

"This time by the Lord's decree ......"

"Kill!"

Before the general could finish his words, a loud shout rang out from all directions, but in a moment, he saw Wei Tao rushing to kill first.

"Koto dog thief! Wei Tao is here! Come on! Kill! ”

"Kill......"

As Wei Tao shook the audience with a loud shout, the morale of all the soldiers under Wei Tao's command was boosted, and they were even more energetic.

"Wei Tao! How could he be here? ”

Just when the Jiangdong generals were still stunned, Wei Tao had already led people to rush in, and some Jiangdong soldiers wanted to stop it, Wei Tao directly swept the halberd, that is, he cut it into two sections, but in a moment, the entire Jiangdong army was in chaos.

Seeing this, the Jiangdong generals didn't care much, so they just shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, form a formation immediately! The number of the other party must not be large, block it for me! ”

But after shouting, the general found that all the Jiangdong troops were bare-handed, and they didn't even have armor, let alone horses.

After all, if you have to wade through the water, you will naturally not carry all the equipment with you, let alone the horses.

This time, even if the man was a general, no one heard him, but because he wanted to resist and found that he was easily killed, it was even more chaotic.

"Surrender on your knees and don't kill! Surrender on your knees and don't kill! ”

Wei Tao was also a little surprised that things went so smoothly, but this was a good thing for Wei Tao, and he immediately shouted loudly, and as Wei Tao shouted, the soldiers also shouted.

If those Jiangdong soldiers had changed at another time, they might still have the courage to die with the enemy, but after comparing the armaments of the two sides at this time, they all gave up resistance and surrendered directly on their knees.

In less than a quarter of an hour before and after this battle, all the Jiangdong army was captured. (To be continued......)
