"Does the general dare to disembark for a land battle?"

Lu Su said excitedly.

"Why don't you dare?"

Zhou Tai laughed.

Don't look at him as the governor of the navy now, think that he was Dong Huang's guard leader back then, and he was also best at land warfare.

Although his martial arts are a little worse than Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Zhao Yunlai, if they really have to fight hard, they may not be able to do well.

"In that case, don't get off the boat and seize Shouchun City!"

Lu Su said his plan.

"Capture Shouchun? Capture Shouchun Jiancheng? ”

Zhou Tai was stunned for a moment, and then he was ecstatic, because he knew that this matter was very interesting.

With the morale of the current army in Shouchun City, as long as 10,000 elite soldiers are selected, and while attacking the city at night, shouting slogans such as "Yuan Benchu has fled", "Chengdu Wang's army has arrived", "General Shenwei has arrived", "Those who surrender will not die", "Officers remain in their posts", etc., will definitely be able to make the defenders chaotic and take this fortified city.

As for the problem of siege equipment, it is good to cut bamboo and build a temporary ladder.

Zhou Tai's only concern now is that the defenders are too weak, and he chooses to surrender before he attacks the city. Now, the military parade of Gao Shun, Xi Zhicai, and Gan Ning has become a big joke in Dong Huang's army.

The three of Gao Shun are all called "Sanfu Generals", and the banter is overflowing.

After all, they have more hard work on this kind of march, and their combat exploits can only be regarded as a consolation prize, and they have to share the profits with the soldiers who surrendered to Cheng.

Zhou Tai didn't want to run into this kind of problem.

"Governor, his subordinates are willing to lead the army first!"

Niu Jin first competed for merit.

"Governor, since he defected to the king of Chengdu, he has not made an inch, and he is willing to capture the flag to repay the king of Chengdu for his great grace!"

Compared with Niu Jin's rudeness, He Qi's statement is much more cultured, and it is not easy to refuse.

"Governor, so do I!"

"I'm the same!"

With these two people at the beginning, others also asked for their lives.

As long as you are not stupid, you can see that this will be a great achievement for nothing, and the risk cannot be said to be risk-free, but where will there be no risk when leading troops to fight, and compared with the benefits, the risk is not worth mentioning at all.

"That's enough, shut up!"

Zhou Tai was annoyed: "You all want to go to the first place, who will command the water army, and how to deal with it if there is a change?" Don't forget our main purpose! ”

Zhou Tai's department is mainly based on sea ships, even in the rainy season, it is very reluctant to sail into the Huai River, so the strategic goal that Dong Huang gave them is only to cut off Yuan Shaojun's back road, as long as this strategic goal is achieved, it is a great achievement.

Of course, if they can't beat it, the board will also fall on them.

Zhou Tai's well-founded reprimand instantly made everyone stunned.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhou Tai said: "I have made up my mind, I will personally take the lead in this operation!" ”

Niu Jin: ???

HE Qi: ???

The rest of the main generals: ???

"Governor? You're not kind! And you've got to need a lieutenant......"

Niu Jin, who was also born in Dong Huang's guard, couldn't help but complain.

His words made Zhou Tai's old face red.

However, he has a thick and dark face, and others can hardly see it.

"Du Du, it's not as good as this, although Su is not talented, he is willing to stay on the ship to command the navy, and the other generals can be divided into three parts, one is to accompany Du Du to attack Shouchun, the second is to pursue Yuan Shao upstream, and the third is to pursue Yuan Shao's East Route Army downstream; And those who attack Shouchun, when they pursue Yuan Shao next, they must not take credit, but defend the ship, how about it? ”

Lu Su took the initiative to ask Ying to relieve Zhou Tai's siege.

"Okay, just according to what Mr. Zijing said!"

Zhou Tai was overjoyed, and the more he looked at Lu Su, the more pleasing he felt to the eye.

The other generals were also impressed by Lu Su's resourcefulness and temperament, and their favorability greatly increased.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Zhou Tai couldn't wait to take Niu Jin, Zhang Ying, Fan Neng and others, who got the opportunity by lot, to lead more than 7,000 elite soldiers to attack the city overnight.

As the generals guessed, the Shouchun guards had no fighting spirit at all, and they shot a few arrows at first, but as Zhou Tai had arrows inserted in his body and bravely climbed first, no one was willing to resist desperately.

And as Dong Huangjun shouted the slogan he had prepared before, half of the defenders of the city wall surrendered directly on their knees, and the rest also ran away with their heads in their hands.

Zhou Tai's subordinates easily took down a city wall and opened the city gate.

The battle that followed was even smoother than expected, Yuan Shaojun did not have a decent resistance at all, so he messed up, shouting slogans one by one "Dong Huang's army has entered the city" and "General Shenwei has entered the city" shouted louder than Dong Huang's army.

When Zhou Tai's department reached the city gate, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who were detained by Yuan Shao, were in Jiao's camp, Jiao's was the general left by Yuan Shao to guard Shouchun, Zhou Yu was left unattended because Yuan Shao and others were busy escaping, so they found an opportunity to come to Jiao's camp and wanted to persuade Jiao to surrender.

If you don't surrender, it won't work, Zhou Yu stood on the side of a third party, and it was easy to see that from the moment Dong Huangjun cut off the Huai River, Yuan Shaojun had run out of energy.

The so-called three-way suspicious soldiers are just lingering. It is really hard to say how much strength the East Road, which is dominated by Yuan Shujun's soldiers, can exert in the face of Zhao Yun, and the main force led by Yuan Shao may not be able to beat Zhang Liao, whose morale is strong and has never been defeated, and Shouchun, who is also Yuan Shujun's soldiers, accounts for most of it. Once the main force of Dong Huang's army arrives, Shouchun will not be able to defend.

In fact, in Zhou Yu's view, Yuan Shao had only one chance to survive in death, that is, to ignore Zhao Yun's troops in the east first, but to send a general to concentrate superior forces to defeat Zhang Liao at all costs and open up the passage to Runan.

In this process, Yuan Shao had to personally sit in Shouchun to boost morale in order to resist the attack of Zhao Yun and Zhou Taibu.

Once Zhang Liao's troops were defeated, Shouchun's enemy was temporarily left with only two routes, east and north, among which the naval army's land combat ability was average, and it only needed to be carefully defended, and the main force concentrated superior forces to fight a decisive battle with Zhao Yun's department.

You don't even need to defeat Zhao Yun, you only need to repel Zhao Yun, and this Shouchun siege battle will be won.

To put it bluntly, Dong Huangjun's biggest weakness is that he lacks the command ability of the large army, and he has not coordinated the four-way army at all, so it gives Yuan Shaojun the possibility of breaking through!

Strategically, Dong Huangjun is undoubtedly extremely good, but in terms of tactical decision-making, it has become a separate battle.

However, Zhou Yu's idea is only theoretical.

Zhou Yu can stand and talk without backache and say let Yuan Shao keep Shouchun, but Shouchun must be able to keep it?

You can't just think about the numbers on paper, and the morale of the army is sometimes more important than the number of troops.

So, Zhou Yu, who knew that he couldn't do anything, decided to persuade Jiao to surrender, and use this credit to protect himself and Sun Quan.

However, before he could persuade the twisting and pinching Jiao Touch, Zhou Taijun had already entered the city.

At this moment, Jiao was dumbfounded.

The difference between the dedication of the city and the forced surrender is not ordinarily large.

But the matter has come to this, what can Jiao Touch do?

"I regret not listening to Gongjin!"

Jiao Touch said with a sad face.
