Chapter 1680: There's no need to fight anymore
In the next two days, Zhao Yun and Lu Bu played every day.
The two of them seemed to be competing to see who killed more Jiangdong troops, and at first they thought of rushing to Lu Xun's warship and capturing Lu Xun.
The Han navy gradually gained an advantage, and the Jiangdong navy was defeated, but it was only a matter of time.
Zhao Yun and Lu Bu also didn't have too much obsession with capturing Lu Xun.
On the bank of the river, ferries are ready to be ordered to carry the main force of the Han army across the river at any time.
The battle on the river continued, and the warships of the Jiangdong Army had been suppressed to a distance from the Han army ferry.
In the mighty river, there are many wooden planks and warship wrecks floating.
The two sides fought for several days, and the damage to each other's warships was extremely serious, more than half of the ships of the Han Navy were lost, and the small boats were sunk countless times.
The Jiangdong Army, which has always been suppressed, has suffered heavy losses, and the building ships that were once lined up on the river are now only one stop out of ten, although they are stubbornly resisting, the original advantage is long gone.
Looking at the battle on the river, Liu Wei asked Pang Tong on the side: "Prime Minister, when will our army cross the Yangtze River and march towards Jianye?" ”
Clenched his fists and bowed, and gave Liu Wei a salute, Pang Tong said to him: "Back to Your Majesty, my Han naval army is now dominant, and even if the ferry is strong, the enemy army is helpless. Your Majesty only needs to give an order, and the minister will start to do it! ”
Nodding his head, Liu Wei raised his hand and waved forward, and said to Pang Tong: "Order, the army crosses the river!" ”
"No!" In response, Pang Tong immediately said to the soldiers behind him: "Your Majesty has a decree, the army will cross the river immediately!" ”
After waiting on the bank of the river for several days, the soldiers of the Han army, who had long been eager to try, received the order and rushed to the ferry boats on the bank of the river.
Ferries full of soldiers of the Han army left the river bank and headed for Zhou Yu Water Village on the opposite bank.
The Han army on the north bank made a move, and Zhou Yushuizhai, who had only been in charge of assisting for several days, hurriedly opened the gate of the water village, leaving a way for the Han soldiers who were about to come.
The warships of the Jiangdong Army on the river saw the main force of the Han army crossing the river from a distance, and had the intention to come to intercept it, but they were stopped by the Han warships, and they were unable to stand out at all, so they could only watch the Han army cross the Yangtze River and advance towards Zhou Yu Water Village.
The gate of Zhou Yu Water Village was opened, and the Han army ferries entered the water village.
Although the ferry port in Shuizhai is not very narrow, there are too many ferries from the Han army, and only a small part can enter.
More Han ferries are waiting outside the water village, and after the ferries inside unload the soldiers, the ferries behind will enter.
More and more Han troops landed on the shore, and at first it was just some ordinary soldiers, and later, many Han generals also went ashore.
Zhou Yu and Sima Yi finally waited for the main force of the Han army to land and led their soldiers and horses, and they had been busy leading the Han army ashore.
In the barracks on the south side of the riverbank, the quartermasters were cooking their meals, preparing to reward the troops who had landed on the shore.
More and more Han troops successfully landed on the riverbank, and the soldiers of the Han army who went ashore marched towards Zhou Yu's military camp.
The soldiers under Zhou Yu, who had never seen so many large armies, watched the soldiers of the Han army walk past them with stunned faces.
"Your Majesty has arrived!" As soon as a building boat docked to the shore, a Han army officer on the bow of the ship shouted at the top of his voice.
The generals of the Han army, who landed first and did not go to the barracks, but waited on the shore, facing the building boat one after another, clenching their fists and waiting to greet Liu Wei.
Zhou Yu and Sima Yi, who had been busy receiving the Han army that had landed on the shore, were taken aback when they heard that Liu Wei was coming.
On the south bank of the Yangtze River, they did not get the news of Liu Wei's arrival, and thought that at most Pang Tong would personally cross the river, but they did not expect that the emperor came from Luoyang and personally urged the army to exterminate Jiangdong.
Surprised to surprised, Zhou Yu and Sima Yi still bowed with their fists and stood facing the building ship.
Several people appeared on the deck of the ship.
Standing at the front was Liu Wei in golden armor.
Behind Liu Wei were Wang Zhen and Nameless.
Zhou Yu is no stranger to Nameless, seeing him standing behind Liu Wei, Zhou Yu was stunned at first, and then immediately lowered his head again.
Standing on the deck, looking down at the Han generals on the shore, Liu Bianxu raised his hand and said to them: "Generals, please get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone responded, and they all straightened their waists.
Surrounded by Wang Zhen, Nameless and a group of guards, Liu Wei got off the ship.
A boat can only carry hundreds of people, and the guards who follow Liu Wei's side can only do it.
Even so, the appearance of the guards still shocked the soldiers under Zhou Yu's command.
They had seen Yu Linwei and the Dragoon Guard, and they were already envious of the combat power of the soldiers of the Second Guard.
In particular, the discipline of Yulin and Dragoon made the soldiers under Zhou Yu's command ashamed, and they also knew that there was still a big gap between them and the real Han army.
After getting off the boat, Liu Wei's feet landed, and Zhou Yu and Sima Yi greeted him.
When they arrived four or five steps away from Liu Wei, the two of them saluted together, and Zhou Yu said: "Minister Zhou Yu, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Raising his hand, Liu Wei said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "The two generals are exempt, I am here now, just to witness the army break through Jiangdong with my own eyes. The conquest still needs the generals' hard work! ”
Before meeting Liu Bian, Zhou Yu had thought of countless possibilities, and he even asked Zhao Yun and Sima Yi for some information about Liu Bian.
For example, Liu Wei's temperament has become his favorite thing on weekdays, and so on.
Zhou Yu, who also had some understanding of Liu Wei, did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would be so easy to get close to.
In his early years, he followed Sun Ce, who regarded him as a brother, and he still had a transcendent position in Jiangdong.
After Sun Ce passed away, there was no brotherly affection between Sun Quan and him, although he was still reused, but in front of Sun Quan, Zhou Yu was also very cautious, for fear of offending him and causing trouble.
When meeting Zhou Yu, Sun Quan will always put on a lofty posture, so that he knows who Jiangdong has the final say!
However, when he saw Liu Wei, Zhou Yu didn't feel that way.
Although Liu Wei exuded a majestic imperial atmosphere, he spoke very tactfully, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he let Zhou Yu know that Liu Wei, as the emperor, would not interfere too much in the conquest of Jiangdong, and the command of the Han army was in the hands of these generals.
This is an invisible trust, other Han army generals have followed Liu Wei for a long time, but Zhou Yu's days of service are not too long.
Just met, he had such trust in him, Zhou Yu had a feeling in his heart that he didn't feel like he had voted for the wrong lord!
After Liu Wei landed, more and more Han troops then landed on the south bank of the Yangtze River.
The crossing of the river with 600,000 troops was not an easy task, nor could it be accomplished in a day.
On the Yangtze River, on one side, the Jiangdong Navy and the Han Navy are still entangled, while on the other side, countless ferries are transporting the soldiers of the Han Army to the other side of the Yangtze River.
The Jiangdong Naval Army, which was surrounded by the Han Water Army, initially wanted to break through the encirclement and attack the main force of the Han Army that was crossing the river.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the Jiangdong Navy gradually gave up its plans.
After several counterattacks, the encirclement of them by the Han naval army not only did not loosen at all, but the siege became stronger and stronger.
On the boat, Lu Xun's face showed a busyness that could not be concealed.
Although the Jiangdong Navy was prepared to deal with the Han army's counterattack, it did not expect that the Han army would abandon several ships and use fire to deal with the Jiangdong Navy army.
On the river, the sailors were too closely arranged, and the warships were not as fast as the soldiers on land.
In just one battle, the Han army achieved combat strength equal to that of the Jiangdong naval army.
And Lu Bu and Zhao Yun rode back and forth on the Jiangdong building boat, which made the Jiangdong navy even more tired, and many building ships were captured by the two without even suffering much attack from the Han army.
The war was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Jiangdong Army, and Lu Xun had vaguely seen the complete rout of the Navy.
The main force of the Han army was crossing the river in an all-round way at this time.
The Han army in the west is also said to have broken through the defense line of the Jiangdong Army and is advancing in the direction of Jianye.
The 800,000 Han army advanced towards Jianye in two ways, while the Jiangdong Army had only more than 30,000 troops available on land.
The comparison of the military strength of the two sides is not on the same level at all.
Koto is hard to keep!
Lu Xun didn't know where he should go!
Looking at the Han warship that was approaching him on this building ship, Lu Xun was as dead as ashes, and even wanted to give an order several times to ask the Jiangdong Navy to give up resistance and surrender to the Han army.
Every time this thought came to him, he would look back at Huang Gai.
Following Sun Jian in his early years, Huang Gai had already handed over his life to the Sun family in Jiangdong.
Lu Xun could surrender to the Han army, but Huang Gai probably wouldn't agree.
In order for the Jiangdong Navy to stop resisting, what must be solved at the moment is Huang Gai!
The old general has always assisted Lu Xun, to him, Lu Xun has always been regarded as an elder, in order to surrender to the Han army, and killed Huang Gai, Lu Xun thought that he could not do it.
can insist on resisting, and in the end, I am afraid that only the Jiangdong Navy will be annihilated.
Turning his head to look at Huang Gai, Lu Xun's face showed entanglement.
Seeing that his expression was entangled, Huang Gai strode up to him and asked him, "The enemy army has already crossed the river, what is the plan of the Metropolitan Governor?" ”
"Old General!" Holding his fist and arching towards Huang Gai, Lu Xun said with a look of loss on his face: "Our army has been surrounded by the enemy army on all fronts, and the enemy infantry army has also climbed the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Jiangdong is afraid that it will not be safe!" The old general has also made countless contributions to Jiangdong, no matter what, he refuses to see the old general and a certain become a prisoner of the same order! ”
From Lu Xun's words, he seemed to hear something strange, Huang Gai frowned, and asked him, "What does the Metropolitan Governor mean?" ”
