Chapter 96: Wolong's Trust
Liu Chan thought it would take more than ten days, but the rescue arrived on the third day.
The Yizhou reinforcements were resupplied in Zigui and immediately went to Yiling.
As soon as the Yizhou "water army" arrived, Li Yi, who led the Jiangdong 3,000 water army, urinated on the spot, and immediately led his troops to retreat to Yidu and landed, intending to wait for an opportunity to support Lu Xun's main force by land.
I don't want to worry about water wars anymore.
Why?
It's so scary!
It was the first time that Li Yi knew that the Yizhou Sailor was already so strong.
Ships, ships, ships, and ...... Literally everything.
A water battle group is formed with the building ship as the center, and multiple ships are matched to perform their own duties, and the large and small operations are coordinated from far and near......
Li Yi was shocked, the enemy occupies Jiangguan, and already has the right to natural water control, and now there are so many warships that you can't see the end at a glance!
Unexpectedly, the Shu army is also good at water warfare, and the ship-building technology is almost the same as our level...... It's better to say that the ships built are exactly the same.
He can't fight hard, it's death, he must bring this terrible news back alive.
However, what Li Yi didn't know was that Zhang Sanye, who had been fighting horses all his life, basically knew everything about fighting, but he didn't understand water warfare!
Yizhou will build a fart ship at this time, which was all paid from Dongwu and pulled by Liu Chan to transport his family.
Now that Zhang Sanye has been transferred back to transport troops intact, no matter how big or small the warship is, it is basically used as a transport ship......
Because he didn't understand the fleet formation, he piled up the warships in front of him, and it became the "coordinated operation" in Li Yi's heart.
It's also strange that his scouts don't have the means to look far away, but if you can see any farther, you will find that the fleet of ships following behind the front ships is all ordinary carriers...... There are even merchant ships and fishing vessels that have been temporarily requisitioned.
On the first day of the arrival of the Yizhou naval army, the soldiers controlled the western channel of the Yangtze River without bloodshed.
After the three of them landed in Yiling, they immediately found Zhan Yan and Chen Feng, the guards of Yiling.
Zhang Sanye, who was anxious in his heart, saw the two of them, strode over, grabbed Zhan Yan's shirt and lifted it up in front of him, and glared at him: "You are ......"
"Ahem!" Zhuge Liang behind him cleared his throat.
Zhang Fei squeezed out a smiling face of "nuclear goodness" with a little embarrassment, put down the frightened Zhan Yan, and thoughtfully slapped his shirt flat: "You have led the army to defend Yiling these days, and you are really a model for our army, haha...... I don't know how the second brother and Adou are doing now? β
Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun smiled and nodded behind him.
Zhan Yan, who had palpitations, unconsciously took a step back, hugged his fists with the generals around him and said: "The last general Zhan Yan (Chen Feng), see the two generals Zhang and Zhao, and see the military division." β
"The war is urgent, don't be polite, hurry back to the words of the third general." Zhao Yun waved his hand and glanced at the blue tendons on Zhang Fei's head, who was trying to keep smiling.
If you don't say anything, there will be smoke on that person's head......
"Yes. Fortunately, the crown prince and General Guan led the army to come to the aid in time, and the troops were deterred, so as to suspend the offensive of the Wu army and give us a chance to breathe. β
Chen Feng also said: "Yes, if it weren't for the prince and General Guan coming west in time, I'm afraid that we might not be able to hold out until you arrive." β
Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun were relatively speechless for a while.
No, what about the second brother who said yes and Adou were trapped in Jingzhou? How did they become reinforcements instead?
Zhao Yun couldn't help but say: "I said that the prince and Yun Chang ran away with Lu Xun, but it was just a joke......
Only Zhuge Liang quickly recovered from his surprise and his face was full of relief.
"How many people are there in the crown prince and General Guan?" Zhuge Liang asked, speculating in his heart that if everything went well, there might still be more than 10,000 people.
"According to the observation of the last general, when it is not under Lu Xun, there will be at least 20,000 horses."
Zhuge Liang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Do you know where its troops are? β
Zhan Yan arched his hand and said: "I also invite the military advisor and the two generals to take a look." β
The three of them came to the military tent with Zhan Yan and Chen Feng and came to the front of the map.
"Three of you, please see." Zhan Yan stretched out his hand and pointed to the two mountains in the north of Yiling, "Lu Xun and his subordinate Xie Jing divided their troops into these two mountains. β
Then he pointed to a hill on the east side: "The army of the prince and General Guan is stationed on this mountain." β
Chen Feng added: "Deng Fu, the Taishou of Fangling, and Guo Mu, the Taishou of Nanxiang, led the people of the headquarters to come to help, and the Yi soldiers recruited by Wenbu and Deng Kai of the Zigui clan were all stationed on the main road to block Lu Xunnan's attack on Yiling. β
Zhuge Liang carefully observed the map, and then his eyes lit up: "The prince and Yun Chang occupy this mountain on the east side, guarding Lu Xun's road to the east to cross the frustrated water...... If he only wants to repel Lu Xun, it is advisable to take the mountain road on the south side and join forces with the defenders of Yiling, and the grain and grass and retreat are better than at this time.
"This move is for fear that Lu Xun will retreat and want to annihilate the enemy. I must have calculated that my Yizhou reinforcements were coming, so I dared to do this."
"Hehehe......" Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook gently, looking very happy.
If you talk about the courage to annihilate the enemy, the cloud chief who flooded the Seventh Army is also strong.
But if you can calculate the time of Yizhou's reinforcements, it must be the prince.
In addition, he previously led the pro-army to block the army of LΓΌ Meng in Jiangling...... Zhuge Liang had a great sense of accomplishment at this time.
This sense of accomplishment is not the same as when I showed what I learned in my life, but I am even more proud.
Some of his colleagues lamented that he had spent a lot of time teaching the Prince, but he never felt that way, and enjoyed it.
"Strategist, what are you laughing at?" Zhang Fei hurriedly asked, "But you thought of a way to break the enemy?" β
"A strategy to break the enemy? No, no, no. Zhuge Liang smiled even happier, "Then Lu Xun will become a turtle in an urn, why do you need any strategy?" We just need to invite you into the urn. β
"How do you ask for a law?" If there are no resourceful people around him, Zhang Sanye is often wise. However, if there are strategists in the army such as Wolong and Phoenix, Fa Zheng and so on, he will not want to think about it more.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said to Zhang Fei: "The three generals are willing to listen to Liang's dispatch?" β
"If you can destroy the enemy, why not."
"Okay." Zhuge Liang said solemnly, "The three generals, please personally lead 15,000 soldiers and horses, and join the Yi soldiers and defenders with great fanfare, just send the sergeants to take turns to beat drums and shout at the foot of the mountain where Lu Xun is located day and night, and if there is any change in the army on the mountain, they will withdraw immediately." β
Although Zhang Fei couldn't wait to kill Lu Xun on the mountain now, he still trusted Zhuge Junshi after many years: "Okay, just follow the military division." β
"Liang Dang led five thousand elites by himself, walked around the path to the west side, and waited for the opportunity to move."
Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't mention himself for a long time, Zhao Yun couldn't hold back: "Military advisor, what about me?" β
"Hehe, Zilong is not in a hurry, you lead 10,000 people, but there should be another wonderful use."
This plan can only be achieved if the two armies cooperate closely and have the same strategic objectives.
However, with Lu Xun leading the army stuck in the middle, it is very likely that the messenger sent there will be intercepted, and the risk is too high.
But Zhuge Liang still seems very confident, with the prince in Yun Chang's army, he will definitely be able to understand his intentions.
It's not that Yun Changzhi can't calculate, but he believes in the tacit understanding between him and Liu Chan who has been teaching and discussing together for many years.
β¦β¦
"General Guan! Prince! Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming! A Jingzhou army scout ran to the tent out of breath and shouted excitedly.
Guan Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes lit up and said, "Really? How many reinforcements are coming? β
"According to the observation of his subordinates, when there are more than 10,000 people, the banner is Zhang, and it has now converged with the Yiling defenders."
"Haha, it's Yide here!" Guan Yu said excitedly, "Our army should attack first, and when Yide sees this, he will definitely send troops from the south to attack Lu Xun'er!" β
Liu Chan frowned and looked at the map, there were more than 10,000 people, which was indeed about the same number of reinforcements in Langzhong as he guessed, so why not follow what the second uncle said......
Wait, no, no, no.
With the third uncle's previous style, after knowing that we were waiting here, even if we didn't send troops to attack Lu Xun with all our strength after converging with the Yiling defenders, we would definitely have to make a tentative attack.
There is absolutely no reason to move after joining the defenders.
And the person who can make the third uncle change his strategy...... There are only the old man and Uncle Zhuge .
Thinking of this, Liu Chan's eyes gradually lit up.
But he needs to make sure.
"Second uncle, please bear with me for a day or two, and let me observe it again, okay?"
These words came from the mouth of Liu Chan today, and they still carried quite weight, and he had already proven his ability in battle.
Guan Yu believed that he must have an intention in this move, and the other generals were also patient, and they had waited for so long, and it was not a day or two.
At the same time, they were also curious, not knowing what Liu Chan wanted to observe.
