Chapter Ninety-Eight: Sending Troops to Jiangdong

Since the Jiangxia Water War, Jiangdong has lost its water supremacy.

They had no choice but to abandon the defense of the waterways.

and then relied on the shore defense line to resist the invasion of the Jiangxia naval army.

But even so, the current places such as Chaisang and Poyang Lake have been occupied by the Jiangxia naval army.

Gan Ning set aside part of the naval army to guard here.

It has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yuzhang County, Jiangdong.

Of course, for the sake of insurance, the main force of Ganning's naval army still stayed in Jiangxia County.

Now it's time to get ready to go.

Now Liu Qi has decided to officially start attacking Jiangdong.

As the main force of the Jingzhou Water Army, the Jiangxia Navy is naturally not a light task. Gan Ning had only sent troops to the land of Chaisang, and Yuzhang County was still in the hands of Sun Quan.

If you want to enter the six counties of Jiangdong, Yuzhang must not be taken.

After receiving Liu Qi's order, Gan Ning led the navy along the Yangtze River waterway to Poyang Lake and went straight to Yuzhang County to govern Nanchang County.

In addition, Huang Zhong led his troops from Changsha.

The two lines of soldiers and horses were in a flanking attack.

Yuzhang guarded Sun Ben too much, and Sun Ce was the younger brother, and when he heard the attack of the two armies, his expression changed in shock, and he immediately sent someone to inform Sun Quan.

Kodong Kure gun.

Sun Quan's face was a little ugly.

Just now, he had already received the news that after Cao Cao was deflated in Jingbei, he actually agreed to Liu Qi as the pastor of Jingzhou, and gave him an official and a knight, and finally came to disgust himself.

Didn't you just send someone to attack Shouchun?

Yu Ban died at the hands of Gan Ning, not at the hands of Lu Meng, why bother to come here so much?

At this moment, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said:

"Lord Qiqi, don't worry about this matter, Jiangdong and Jingzhou will have a battle. Cao Cao is just watching the fire from the other side, he will not directly participate in this battle, and I still have the strength to fight in Jiangdong.

Although the Jiangxia Navy is strong, after this period of rest, our Jiangdong Navy has also recovered a certain vitality. And as long as the riverbank defense line is firmly entrenched, the Jiangxia naval army has nothing to do. ”

Sun Quan calmed his mind and said loudly:

"If Jingzhou and Jiangdong start a war, more than the naval army will be dispatched, so what about the land battle?"

As soon as the words fell, someone came in a hurry and reported inside:

"Lord Qi, there is an urgent report from Yuzhang."

Everyone was pale.

Sun Quan immediately beckoned and took the urgent report to check.

Then he looked up and said:

Sure enough, now Jingzhou has sent troops, divided into two routes of soldiers and horses, one is led by the general Huang Zhong, from Changsha to attack Yuzhang, and the other is Naganning, so that the naval army is close to Yuzhang.

Yuzhang is the main front of my Jiangdong, and it should not be missed, but is anyone willing to lead troops to support? ”

In the crowd, a veteran came out and said:

"Enlighten the lord, and the end will be willing to go."

Everyone looked at him, this person was Jiangdong veteran Cheng Pu.

Sun Quan was slightly dignified:

"Is General Demou sure?"

Cheng Pu replied:

"Don't worry, my Jiangdong has the advantage of the city, although Jingzhou has thousands of troops, what's the matter?"

These words made Sun Quan breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, during this time, his heart was often terrified.

Now there is no way back in Jiangdong.

Even if he really wants to surrender to Cao Cao, it is impossible for people to agree, and Jiangdong can only fight to the death with Jingzhou.

Moreover, Sun Quan is not a person who is willing to live under others.

At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses.

Although Jingzhou repelled Cao Cao, it was only a stalemate, which did not mean that Jingzhou's strength was better than Cao's army.

And in the land of Jiangdong, although the navy was defeated by the Jiangxia navy, it still had the strength to fight, why should it be so panicked?

He looked at Cheng Pu and said:

"Okay, then I will ask the old general for this battle, and I will mobilize 30,000 soldiers and horses to respond to the battle of Jingzhou!"

Seeing the high-spirited Sun Quan.

Everyone present was also stunned, adding to their fighting spirit.

At the same time, Zhou Yu arched his hand and said:

"Lord Qi, now Danyang and Huiji Mountain are more and more settled, just to deal with Jingzhou with all their might, the lord can dispatch He Gongmiao and the headquarters of the soldiers and horses in Yi County, and respond to the land of Yuzhang."

He Gongmiao is He Qi, and he is also a famous general in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan nodded without hesitation and said:

"Okay, then send an order to He Gongmiao and order him to transfer troops immediately. In addition, the soldiers and horses of Wu County and Danyang County were recruited and handed over to Gongjin to lead and sit in Wu County to guard against the Jiangxia Naval Army. ”

The previous Jiangxia water war, that really knocked Sun Quan out of the psychological shadow.

Zhou Yu said yes.

It's already at this time, Jingzhou is the absolute enemy, and everything else can be ignored for the time being.

Fortunately, Jiangdong was quite peaceful during this time.

If the mountains and the mountains rise together, it will take a lot of energy to fight against the rebellion, which will give Jingzhou an opportunity to take advantage of.

After the arrangements are made.

Cheng Pu recruited soldiers and horses and went to Yuzhang to support.

In Changsha County.

Huang Zhong has already prepared his troops and horses.

Now Jingbei Yingzhai leaves Huo Jun and 10,000 elites.

The rest is gathered here.

With the newly transferred troops and horses, 30,000 people have already gathered.

In the barracks.

Huang Zhong and the generals gathered here.

He looked at the repeater in his hand, and his face was full of curiosity.

As an archer, Huang Zhong's archery skills are undoubted, but he rarely uses crossbow arrows.

But the Zhuge crossbow in his hand, this is not the first time he has seen it.

Fighting side by side with Xue Li before, he had seen this repeater, and its full name was Zhuge Repeater.

Looking at this name, you know that it should be made by Zhuge Junshi.

It's really worthy of Wolong!

Come to the barracks grounds.

Huang Zhong took out the Zhuge crossbow and aimed at the arrow target, which was shot out one after another, without the meaning of stagnation.

It can be seen that this repeater is indeed powerful at close range.

But if the distance is too far, the power will also decrease.

It's inevitable.

These problems do not affect the advantages of the repeater, which can be fired ten times in a row without winding an arrow, if two armies are in a confrontation, or when an ambush kills the enemy.

It will have the desired effect.

Of course, relatively speaking, the characteristics of Zhuge repeater, the most suitable is cavalry. Because the cavalry is highly mobile and elusive, it can be miraculous to attack with repeating crossbows.

After Cao Jun retreated.

There is also a batch of newly made Zhuge repeaters, a total of 2,000 crossbows, which are distributed to Huang Zhong and Gan Ning.

Limited by production efficiency, this speed is already very fast.

After all, it's made by hand.

Even if Liu Qi summoned the craftsmen of Xiangyang, it would be impossible for them to work hard to build a repeater twenty-four hours a day!

With a thousand repeating crossbows, Huang Zhong was equipped with a thousand elites. When necessary, this team of crossbowmen can influence the situation of the battle, and he naturally will not take it lightly.

Moreover, Huang Zhong's own archery skills are extraordinary.

He also has many good shooters.

It can give full play to the role of Zhuge repeater.

On the other side, Gan Ning is similar.

The main way of attack of the navy is bow and arrow shooting.

Only when the two armies clash will they board the ship for hand-to-hand combat.

With the blessing of this repeating crossbow, the combat power of the Jiangxia Navy will be raised to a higher level. However, because of the particularity of water warfare, it is much more difficult than Huang Zhong to recover the crossbow arrows.

But there's no way around it.

Compared with the complicated bows and crossbows, Liu Qi has accumulated a large number of crossbow arrows during this time, and there is no problem in using them until the end of this battle.

After the preparation, Huang Zhong was also a soldier.
