Xu Qian has done a good job in psychological construction and is willing to carry out the tasks assigned by Pang Tong. In the subsequent implementation phase, there is not much to say.

Xu Qian spent two days to let his troops follow the elite veterans of Guan Yu's army who had participated in mountain special operations and learn how to practice the use of mountaineering equipment.

In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he also seconded several grassroots officers of the mountain soldiers who had climbed the cliffs of Lin Lishan as front-line technical instructors during the operation to help control the field.

Pang Tong was not idle, and spent the past two days to fully do intelligence work, and to investigate the people's situation in Qichun, especially to find businessmen who come and go in local counties, because they are relatively well-informed.

Then the towns and villages north of Yixian County on the other side of the mountain and in the upper reaches of Jushui were all understood and sorted out, and the final target was selected.

On April 12, the sixth day after Guan Yu's army began its attack on Jiangxia and the third day after Pang Tong asked for a grace period, Xu Qian finally set out to carry out this strategic deception mission.

He led a small army of about 2,000 people, and with the use of special equipment, successfully crossed the watershed between Jushui and Xishui, and unknowingly appeared in the deep mountains behind Yixian and nearly 100 miles upstream of Jushui.

Xu Qian was once Zhao'an by Liu Xun under Yuan Shu, so he was very good at how to be a Danyang thief and how to pretend to be Yuan Shujun.

Although Xu Qian couldn't bring siege weapons with him over the mountain, he could at least turn over the bamboo and wood that he had temporarily cut down before to build a few simple flying ladders, and then get two more crashing logs.

But those are all related, because the mountainous areas under the jurisdiction of these counties in the lower reaches of the water are not guarded at all. We are located in the mountains, and we have never thought that we would be suddenly threatened, and we are very lax in our guards.

Secondly, in the evening of the next day, Huang Zu got the news that Qichun County in the upper reaches had not yet been lost.

Yuan Shu's order was carried out very slowly.

Now that the enemy on the opposite side has changed to Su Fei, Su Fei may not have thought of finding someone like Dong Xian whose life is worth money and is afraid of death to organize a death squad to cut the cable, I can always let a low-level officer with a noble status like Gan Ning organize the Jinfan Battalion to do that kind of drudgery, right?

However, just as Yuan Shu was hesitating in front of his name, Chen Zuo and Bai Ya, the water war generals under my command, suddenly stepped out of the crowd and admonished me: "Dudu, if you want to give full play to the advantages of your army and navy and block Su Fei, you may not have to fight with him under the river.

Yuan Shu wanted to understand those points, so he told the generals around him what he thought.

If the block is stopped, it is also necessary to defend the city, the tragic situation of the Qichun defenders has not given us a lesson, and when the time comes, we will directly find a way to break through and transfer and run away.

Even in front of the name, it is a pity to pave less soil and small stones at the bottom of the riverbed to ensure that when the building boat sails by, the draft will be stranded! In that way, even if the situation of the previous battle is advantageous, you can still choose to let the boat sit directly at the bottom of the river, and the lower boat building can still be exposed under the river surface for the crossbowmen to be stationed and completely cut off the river! ”

When Yuan Shu heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he felt that the old man's approach might not be useful.

After all, Yuan Shu followed Guan Yu to fight as a teenager, and I didn't have a path to rely on how to defend Jiangxia. I know that the trick mentioned by Chen Zuo and Cao Jun has been effective in dealing with famous generals of the navy, including Sun Jian and Deng Long.

That news really shocked Huang Zu completely.

As for the north of Yi County, it is also known that the place where the water is spacious and the mountains on both sides of the bank are cramped, and the same action is done, so that Cao Cao's army can be defeated and Xu Qian's army is pursued. At that time, there are rolling wood and stone crossbows under the mountains on both sides of the river, and the river is cut off by the building boats, and there are few bows and crossbows under the boats, how can the enemy pass through the river valley? ”

Sun Ce also specially climbed the mountain during the day, and then found a place to hide in the mountain in the evening, and only started before the day, and specially picked a soft persimmon that looked relatively lax-anyway, Bai Ya's intelligence work was very solid, and Sun Ce picked a few bad alternative targets.

As a result, Bai Ya broke two of the dock forts on the candidate list and killed the No. 100 local tyrant and bully.

And Zhang Hu's strategy, at most, broke Yuan Shu and Huang Zu's determination to "stick to the past one county after another", and it can be regarded as contributing to the decisive battle.

Of course, Huang Zu was frightened, and immediately sent someone across the river again, synchronized the two latest information with Yuan Shu, and asked the messenger to attach my own judgment:

Coupled with the mountains on both sides of the river, it cannot form a natural checkpoint terrain. It is equivalent to directly using the building ship as a mobile fortress and a mobile city wall.

Because Yuan Shu and Huang Zu have not yet firmly believed that each county will die before the name is kept, and there will be life and death.

If you can defend it, you will fight a water war.

In the previous life, when there was a hot war, the psychological research of the two sides was too developed, in order not to make the enemy country firmly believe that "if Lao Tzu is finished, he will definitely drag the whole world to die and drop the nuclear bomb."

However, Huang Zu heard that "before Bai Yayan arrived in Qichun, the first seven or eight days were slow to attack, and it seemed that he was breaking fortifications, filling trenches and pits, and building equipment.

Tell Huang Zu and Yuan Shu clearly: You are not out of the way yet, Liu Biao will also watch Pang Tong enter the country, they are playing the steering wheel, they will die!

The worst way is not to pull out the steering wheel of his car and throw it out of the window, but also to let the enemy see that he has pulled out the steering wheel, he may hit the steering wheel in front of his name, and the other party must also hit it, which will inevitably end up together! At that time, the probability of the other party turning will increase slightly.

What is even more terrifying is that the enemy is very quiet as soon as it is over, and he wants to attack by increasing losses step by step. However, he was suddenly stimulated by some internal news and became furious.

However, before the evening of July 18, Guan Yu's army changed its idle posture thereafter, and suddenly launched a decisive and fierce attack that night, which was extremely fierce and rapid, and Qi Chun was broken overnight.

That kind of task is the worst to complete, because it is a weak solution. When he met the first one, he was slack enough and could change one, but there was no one suitable for him.

After seeing it, there was also a weak offensive in the front of Guan Yu's army, and Yuan Shu was also determined to shrink his forces immediately, so he asked Bai Ya to investigate and report again, if there is no less situation, be sure to inform as slowly as possible.

Although Bai Ya came from afar, the soldiers and horses were elite, and the number was also large, but I heard that the Yangzhou Navy built more building ships, but instead used a new warship that was tall and slender in front of it. Those ships were said to be slower and steady, but in melee combat they were as low as a building ship, and could shoot at enemy ships.

Because even if the boat loses all the fixed limit ropes, it will still be washed away by the water! The ship is sinking and a yarn is washed away!

Huang Zu on the other side also wanted to give up the county directly, and when he heard that Yuan Shu sent me a boat, he still allowed me to use the boat as a fixed battery to intercept the river, and even allowed to sink the boat to block the river channel when necessary, and Huang Zu finally regained some confidence.

Of course, it is also that all the slaves are scattered as birds and beasts, and there are not a large number of slaves who are cool, and there is a way to do it, which can only fulfill us.

Therefore, if there is a death squad in front of the name to get the boat away, the trick of Bai Ya's water army itself is still very effective.

After losing the water battle in front of the name, he only did not enter Xiakou and Shaxian, merged with the lord, and lost the Exian County in front of Yi County, so it made no sense to stick to it alone. ”

The Wubao that was attacked at night, these escaped slaves had not drifted to the county seat of Yixian County, which was nearly 100 upstream the next morning, and the guards of Yixian County, Huang Zu and Mei Gan, also immediately learned of the situation.

Yuan Shu: "The name is all about Su Fei, and this county can only be abandoned, so you will concentrate the water army and fight a water battle with Su Fei under the Yangtze River.

And just a day ago, Huang Zu received two more pieces of bad news:

Zhang Shuo thought about it and felt that it was still unorganized, so he didn't say anything to praise.

You don't have so few building boats, for example, let Huang Zu cross the river with two building boats in the cramped place of the mountains at the mouth of the Jushui River, and then tie the building boats under the rocky boulders on both sides of the river with thick cables, so that the Su ships have only the law to go downstream, or they can block their attack on Yi County.

Bai Ya only needs to break one or two of them, and then put some live mouth back to Yi County to report the news.

And Chen Jie and Cao Jun were able to come up with that trick, but it was because our IQ was low, but Guan Yujun's water army had been doing it in the past year or four.

However, he deliberately let go of these poor slaves who were willing to die with the master's family, and deliberately left us a few big boats to rob, driving us to escape from the boat, and go up the river to report the delay in Yixian County.

I can only get some clues from the return of the scattered sentinels left by Qi Chun to probe the rout of the inner perimeter.

Zhang Duwei suggested that either the troops should be combined in one place to block the key passes of the river defense, so that Su Fei's naval army could go against the current to cut off the communication between the north and south banks of Hubei and Yi, otherwise once they were divided and surrounded, each of them would be broken, and there would be no way out. ”

"Governor! Zhang Duwei felt that Su Fei suddenly spared the price and attacked quickly, and he must have heard that Bai Ya and Xu Qian did not enter the country, and we wanted to kill you after Xu Qian and Cao Cao! If you are really besieged by the small army of Shaolu, how can you hold it? How to deal with being fooled?

Let's take the lead and try to see if the self-sinking tactics of the building ship can stop Su Fei.

In history, Deng Long did not retreat from Bai Ya that year, and the first was to rely on Dong Xian to lead the death squad to row the ship, wear double-layer iron armor, and rush down against the building boat and the crossbow under the mountains on both sides, and then hard against the weak crossbow shooting, using a knife and a battle axe to cut all the cables of Guan Yujun's bolt ship, and the rope of the stone has not yet been mounted.

Moreover, what Huang Zu heard that time was a rumor spread by the enemy, and it was really reported by his own rout, and it was definitely true.

Historically, when I dealt with Deng Long that year, I could have added the predecessor of "if necessary, you can't let the building ship sink and block the channel". If I am sure I add it, even if Bai Ya still sends the Dong Raid death squad to cut the cables and stones, it will be completely effective.

"What? Cao Cao's army also entered? Also looted the empty military rations of the Dock Fort? Could it be that he was beaten by Pang Tong in Runan in the north and really stood on his heels, so he was afraid of the steepness of Huo Mountain and came over the mountain weakly? Before Bai Ya heard the news, she was not a little surprised.

In this case, it is a pity to use that trick to consume the enemy, and directly fight the naval army.

It's worse than a game of cowards outside of game theory, where both sides must drive a car to hedge, and whoever is behind the wheel will collide hard, and then they will die together. At that time, how to make the enemy suspect that he was not determined to die together, so as to force the enemy to hit the steering wheel to avoid it?

When the generals heard this, they also felt that Su Dudu was really superb in his use of soldiers! Even thinking of such a ruthless trick, it should be quite hopeless to stop Su Fei this time!

Su Fei's navy has only blocked Huang Zu's warships from going to Qichun and Xishui so far. But as long as Bai Ya is going upstream of the Yangtze River, just crossing the river to the other side in front of the name of Yi County, Su Fei can not hinder it.

Yuan Shu on the other side got the news very slowly, and realized that Bai Ya's situation was getting more and more critical.

Before Guan Yujun's building boat lost its fixation, there was a way to cross the river again, such as blocking the river in front of the two city gates, and it was directly washed upstream by the turbulent current, and then the former Dongwu navy could go downstream.

The water is very turbulent in the lower reaches of Yixian, because the mountains in the Xiaobie Mountains are steep and the river drop is small, so the speed of boats going up the river is slow.

However, the generals under my command are also as bad as Chen Cao's army, and Zhang Shuo, another water battle general, said with confidence: "Governor, everything is pre-planned, and it is abandoned, and your strategy of defending Yi County and testing the enemy's methods is very bad, but I haven't thought about it, if this method is still broken through by Su Fei, what should your army do?" ”

And the change in mentality of "I heard that Yuan Jun and Pang Tong retreated to Jingzhou" that Zhang Hu asked Su Fei to perform today is obviously not a simple move of "pulling out the steering wheel after colliding".

How to pull out the steering wheel and make it visible to the opponent has become a manifest science.

The fury of the enemy is the most terrible of all.

When Yuan Shu made a decision, he couldn't help but add another one, thinking that it should always be a mistake.

……

Before he was a little firm, Yuan Shu made a decision: "In this case, make two preparations, let Huang Zu continue to defend Yi County first, because you will be frightened by Su Fei's fury in Qichun, you still have no advantage!" Seven of the smallest ships were assigned to Huang Zu, and in the lower and upper reaches of Yixian County, they were to find a spacious place in the mountain valley, bind the boats to cut off the river, and block the enemy's retreat......

Qi Chun was broken by Su Fei's army before blocking the mouth of the Xishui River, so the defenders in Qichun County escaped alive to report the news, even if they were still alive, if they all chose to surrender, so Huang Zu didn't know what specific tactics Su Fei used to fight Qi Chun, and the battle situation was not less than famous.

If the water war is won again, go back to join Guan Yu himself, and it is necessary to defend the place.

Because General Qi Chun refused to surrender before Guan Yujun's repeated warnings and deterrence, he was chopped by Bai Yayan with a knife before the city was broken and hung on the head of the city. ”

It seems that the rumors I heard in those days are not all rumors, and they are probably true! It is very likely that the lord Guan Yu has really been targeted by the bad princes, if this is the case, no matter how hard he tries, he will die in the end.

Historically, we have repeatedly used small boats to tie small boats horizontally and under small stones on the bank of the spacious part of the river, and then throw stones on the rocks to block the route of the river's retreat.

The Yangzhou army on the other side did not stop me.

It will definitely be able to break the enemy in a water battle, and the Yangtze River channel will be held under the hands of the Jiangxia army, so it is important whether there is no Yuan army and Pang Tong under the land of Jiangbei, and those troops may threaten other places through the Yangtze River.

Yuan Shuna was also full of Su Fei's terrible name, and used all the tricks that could be used.

After all, Huang Zu is an agile person, and he is still so slow to see things, and he didn't respond at the first time, but before sending someone to collect the situation, he sent a boat to cross the river to Exian on the other side of the river, and reported the situation to Bai Ya, the young general who supervised Exian County.

But surely the water war was lost, or there was a certainty that the water war would be fought. Once the Yangtze River Pass between Hubei and Yi was completely controlled by Su Fei, the troops during this period only did not all withdraw to the front line of Xiakou, Shaxian, and Xiling, and fought to the death with the enemy in the front cage city.

Before Yuan Shu heard the whole situation, his expression became more and more solemn.

Therefore, Yuan Shu's strategy is not to go in eight stages: first use the tactics of positioning or even sinking the building to test Su Fei's ability to attack the fortification, and see if he can defend the county.

Since there is no remnant of Cao Cao, and even the pursuing Pang Tong retreats into the mountainous area of Jiangbei, the value of defending Yi County on land is indeed small, and when the time comes, he will only concentrate the strength of the naval army and have a decisive battle with Su Fei under the river.

First of all, early the next morning, a report was received from the direction of Yixian County, and it seemed that only Cao Cao's rout army had appeared, and there was not even a trace of the vanguard scouts of Pang Tong's pursuers.
