For the important surname of Jiangzhongzhou, Dongwu naturally knew better than Cao Wei, so Sun Sheng garrisoned 10,000 troops here early, and set up a dock by the water, forming a city wall on the water.

Although the water dock is made of wood, the strength is not as good as the city wall on land, but the siege on the water has its own advantages, that is, the siege equipment of the other party. There is no point of strength on the water, so there is no use for large siege equipment, even a wooden dock is enough to cause headaches for the attackers.

In addition, the Dongwu naval army, which has incomparable experience in water warfare, has already done fire prevention treatment for these docks, even if Zhang He wants to attack with fire, it is difficult to implement. Therefore, this battle of Jiangzhongzhou really can't play too many tricks, only a way to attack, at best, it is to seek a little change in the way of strong attack.

First of all, Sima Fuqiang took a fast boat to go around the river, and after he came back, he set up the sand table in Jiangzhongzhou, at least he could intuitively analyze where the weak link of the enemy's defense was.

The Battle of Jiangling Zhongzhou was one of the main battles of Zhang He's military career, and it was a rare battle for Xiahou Shang to go down in history, but in the vigorous Three Kingdoms period, this battle was somewhat insignificant, because after several years of stalemate, the two warring sides did not have any achievements worthy of special mention.

The battle of Gangneung Zhongzhou is like a tiny bubble in the water of the Yangtze River, with only a few words in the history books, and there are even contradictory records in the biographies of the generals who participated in the war. Even Chen Shou, who wrote the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", couldn't figure out how this battle was fought, not to mention the descendants who studied history, Sima Fuqiang could only play freely.

There are pros and cons to playing free, but the disadvantage is that it is more brain-consuming, and there is a risk that a bad idea can lower the post-war evaluation. Lowering the evaluation is still a trivial matter, but if it makes Zhang He, an old partner, or even a partner who will work together for a considerable period of time in the future, lose confidence in the East China Sea team. In addition, there are more dangerous situations because of the lack of understanding of the details, once the wrong step is made, it is likely to directly endanger the personal safety of the team members.

But to be honest, for Sima Fuqiang, this is also an opportunity. Recently, he has become obsessed with the business of giving advice, and he has benefited greatly from it. For a person like him, who studies history, it is really a great sense of accomplishment to be able to personally participate in and promote the development of history.

Water warfare has always been Cao Wei's shortcoming, even the battle of Chibi, which had a great advantage, failed to win, let alone today. And Dongwu is famous for their naval army, and under the advantages of one another, Cao Jun really has no advantage. Looking at the sand table made by Sima Fuqiang, Zhang He and the people of the East China Sea brainstormed together, thinking hard about the breakthrough in Jiangzhongzhou.

After thinking for a long time, there was no good way, Sima Fuqiang walked out of the military tent in distress and looked up at the sky boredly.

In September of this year, a typhoon hit Yangzhou in the east, and the naval army of Lu Fan, the defender of Eastern Wu guarding Dongpukou, was drowned, and thousands of sailors were lost. This is clearly recorded in the history books.

At this time, the tropical high controlled most of the area south of the Yangtze River, and although the Jiangling area was relatively fine, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were covered with heavy rain. Sima Fuqiang looked at the dark clouds stretching for thousands of miles in the southwest, finally showed a smile on his face, and turned his head to return to the military tent.

Huang Zhi and Zhang He discussed for a long time, but they were also at a loss, and when they saw the captain coming in with a smile on his face, he immediately realized that he must have some ideas, and hurriedly beckoned him to come over to explain.

Sima Fuqiang arched his hand to Zhang He before he spoke, "The last general will look at the sky and know that there is an autumn flood in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the river water is soaring, so this opportunity can be taken." ”

Zhang He also participated in the Battle of Weinan in 214 with Cao Ying, when he was Xiahou Yuan's deputy general, and he also knew that Ma Qiang, who was good at making sand tables, offered advice and contributed to Cao's army's southern crossing of Weishui, and he was convinced of it at the moment.

The surge in the river has little impact on Jiangling City, but it is different for Najiangzhongzhou. The area of Jiangzhongzhou is limited, and Sun Shengtun's 10,000 soldiers are already the limit. After the river water swelled, the area of Jiangzhongzhou shrank, and it was not enough to garrison 10,000 people. At that time, Sun Sheng will inevitably have to have a toss and transfer the redundant personnel on the continent.

In addition, the water dock on the periphery of Jiangzhongzhou is driven into the shallow water with wooden piles, and the surface of the water is only less than two meters, mainly to prevent Cao Jun from swimming across the river or rushing to the beach with a small boat with a strong motorized surname. When the river swells, these docks are basically useless, and may even be swept away by the flood, which is undoubtedly the best time to launch an attack.

Next, everyone discussed some details of how to take advantage of the surge in the river to attack Jiangzhongzhou, and then waited for Sima Fuqiang to see if the judgment that there was an autumn flood within two days was correct.

Zhang He immediately sent a light cavalry scout to go upstream along the river, to observe the water level hundreds of miles upstream, once he found that the water level of the Yangtze River was rising, he lit a beacon fire and wolf smoke to notify the army of action. At the same time, he asked the felling to make all kinds of water warfare equipment, waiting for the autumn flood to come.

In addition, this general Zuo also asked a small number of naval troops temporarily formed by his subordinates to attack and harass the Eastern Wu army stationed in Jiangzhongzhou at night, so that the defenders were mentally exhausted and had no time to take care of anything else.

Poor Sun Sheng was on the middle continent of the river, and he didn't know that the flood caused by the weather was coming, so he was not prepared at all, but he was tired of dealing with Cao Jun's unruly forced crossing. Ignore him, Cao Jun's little naval strength is not enough to form a real threat, but if you ignore him, it is entirely possible for the other party to fake a show and simply seize the beach.

This situation lasted for more than a day, and the garrison on Jiangzhongzhou was already overwhelmed, and then Sun Sheng received good news that Zhuge Jin's reinforcements were already very close, and they would be able to arrive in another day. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, at dusk that day, the attack of the Cao army on the other side suddenly became fierce.

Sun Sheng looked at Cao Jun who suddenly became excited with some puzzlement, although he couldn't see any practical means for the other party to break through the water dock, but his intuition told him that the situation was a little bad.

Through these few days of fighting, he also knew that the one opposite was Zhang He, who was known as the body of the five good generals among the military generals surnamed Cao Wei, and he was the best at change. Liu Bei's evaluation of him was even higher than that of Xiahou Yuan during his lifetime, and the situation of the battle of Dingjun Mountain was recorded in "Wei Luo", which said, "Although Yuan is the governor, Liu Bei is afraid of Yi Yuan." and kill the abyss, and prepare to say: 'Deserve to be the leader, what is evil with this!' 'I was dissatisfied with the lack of Zhang He. ”

Such an opponent, even if he is not good at water warfare, his every move must be of great significance, and it is by no means a whim. Seeing that his sergeants were exhausted, they were all choked by the other party's repeated attacks, and Sun Sheng was even more sure that the other party must have a conspiracy, but he couldn't think of any loopholes for the other party to drill for a while.
