Chapter 512: Catching Turtles in the Urn

There was no accident in the attack on those two tributaries, the Jingzhou Navy Army with several times more strength than the enemy, plus advanced millennium weapons against the enemy, if this can still happen, then Guan Gong and the Jingzhou Navy can buy a piece of tofu and die.

Liu Hou did not follow to the front line, and quietly stayed in the Xiakou camp to wait for the results of the battle on the front line. As the emperor, he really can't go to the front line in person, even if he wants to go, the ministers around him will try their best to stop him, but now that his identity is different, he can't do whatever he wants.

News of a big victory kept coming from the front. Five days later, the enemy forces in the two tributaries were finally cleared. It is not easy to completely destroy these two Soochow fleets, because the enemy is not a stake standing there and not moving, let you come up and chop, he has two legs and can run.

Moreover, this area is densely covered with a network of rivers, crisscrossing and criss-crossing, and the large warships and even medium-sized warships of the Soochow Navy may not be able to escape, but the small warships can escape from the small rivers.

If they run away and abandon farming and become ordinary people again, it will be fine, but there will always be some people with bad intentions who refuse to live the life of ordinary people anymore and have some different ideas.

At that time, the entire middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Yunmengze will be full of water cougrieve, and even if the world is dominated at that time, the world will not be peaceful, and the military expenditure on suppressing bandits alone is estimated to deplete the treasury.

In order to avoid this situation, the Soochow naval forces of these two tributaries should be treated with caution. Sima Yi's method was to attack slowly first, which not only made the Eastern Wu naval army feel a certain pressure and attracted their main force, but also did not kill them all at once, so that they always felt that there was still hope.

This is to stabilize these two Soochow naval armies, so that they will not flee into the dense river network at once. Then it was mine-laying, laying a large number of mines at the other end of the two Soochow fleets, and at all the river chong ~ entrances in between.

For this reason, the Jingzhou naval army not only dispatched hot air balloons to lay mines day and night, but also sent many troops to infiltrate these estuaries from the land, and transported a large number of mines into these estuaries by horse-drawn carriages, completely blocking the escape route of the Eastern Wu naval army.

In this way, it is equivalent to blocking the Dongwu naval army in these two tributaries in a section of the river that is not too long, and it is impossible to advance or retreat, from the trend of closing the door and beating the dog to the trend of catching turtles in the urn.

In fact, the battle in these two tributaries was very short, and a long time was spent on the preparation work before the all-out attack, that is, on laying mines on the various retreat roads of the Soochow naval army and cutting off its retreat routes.

In fact, when all the retreat routes of the Eastern Wu Naval Army were cut off, the Jingzhou Naval Army had just launched a full-scale attack, and the Eastern Wu Naval Army surrendered without any resistance at all. This is to oppress people with force, they have all been trapped in a section of the river, what can they do if they don't surrender? Even if the Jingzhou Navy Army did not attack, it would be able to trap the Eastern Wu Navy to death just by being trapped.

After getting these two tributaries, the Jingzhou Navy drew the scoop in the same way, and one tributary after another. The Soochow Navy has no power to fight back, who wants them to divide this army, which was originally the largest in the world, into six?

The navy is different from the army, even if the army has no road to go, it can also walk in the field, go over mountains and mountains, trek through mountains and rivers to rescue, the navy can only run rampant on the river, if the river is not connected with each other, or the connection point is far away, even if everyone's straight line distance is useless.

These six tributaries could not communicate with each other in a short time, and they had to go around a long waterway to connect, which also meant that the Soochow naval forces inside could not rescue each other, and could only watch the friendly forces being broken by the enemy.

I believe that this situation is something that Lu Xun, who has formulated a strategy of dividing troops and encircling him, could not have imagined it, and he should have regretted it so much that he was about to vomit blood. Of course, he can't be blamed for this, in the hope that his wisdom is not as good as Sima Yi's, but rather that everyone's knowledge and vision are different.

Lu Xun has never seen three-dimensional combat on land, sea and air, and there is no concept of airdrop blocking the enemy or air attack and decapitation. Sima Yi had been in contact with the Hong army for a long time, and he was a smart and studious person, who always liked to go to various troops and ask people everywhere for advice on the new tactics of those new armies.

Therefore, he has now fully adapted to the tactics of the Hong Army, and he has innovated himself, as if he has become a master of tactics in the new army. If Sima Yi and Lu Xun were originally military advisors of the same level, then now the former has thrown off the latter a few streets.

The generals of the Wu Navy Army in the Middle East of each tributary surrendered one after another, but later Lu Xun saw that the situation was not good, and ordered the Navy to abandon the ship and land as a whole and escape by land, which saved a small part of the men.

After all, this is an inland river and not a vast ocean, so it is easy to get ashore. When the Han army's land force was not yet in place, it was still relatively easy for these landed Soochow naval troops to escape.

In this regard, Sima Yi had no choice, others abandoned the ship and fled for their lives, but they could not abandon the ship in pursuit. It is difficult to estimate the combat effectiveness of the navy after abandoning the ship, and it is easy to have unexpected situations when the people are not familiar with the place.

After weighing it again and again, and reporting to Guan Gong and Liu Hou, Sima Yi decided to focus on safety and give up the pursuit of this part of the escaped Eastern Wu naval army. But in fact, it was harmless, and the number of the Soochow naval army that escaped in the end was only more than 10,000 people, and these more than 10,000 naval forces could not pose any threat after losing their warships.

Of the 20,000 or 300,000 horses of the Soochow Naval Army, only more than 10,000 escaped in the end, and it can be said that the once most powerful Soochow Naval Army in the world has existed in name only. At present, the army of Soochow is mainly in the water army, and without this water army, there are not many remaining troops in the entire Soochow.

Guan Gong left a small number of troops to clean up the battlefield, continue to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and clear the place, while he personally led the army down the river and went straight to Jianye. This time the ministers did not stop him again, and no one thought that he was rash of the enemy.

The main force of Dongwu has been wiped out, and the current Dongwu is like a tiger that has been pulled out ~ out of its minions, saying that the tiger has lifted them, and they are now at best a sick cat whose minions have been pulled out, Guan Gong went away with a big victory, and it can be said that he can rub them as much as he wants.

And Liu Hou, under the protection of the two super warships, led the ministers to follow behind slowly. In addition, Sima Yi felt that the army on both sides of the strait was moving too slowly, so he recruited a large number of transport ships and transported some of the soldiers and horses to the Jianye front line by ships.

From Jiangxia to Jianye, there are still many counties and many cities, which are still under the control of Soochow. Although these cities are vulnerable to attack, and it is impossible to stop two armies like wolves, it is very time-consuming to attack them one by one.

Sima Yi's method of flying directly through the line, crossing these cities in the middle, and directly landing on the enemy's capital was very novel in this era. Of course, these novel ways of playing are accompanied by high returns and high risks, but Sima Yi thinks that the time is ripe to give it a go.
