It's just that he chased on the water, and he didn't have time to take a closer look, and when he saw a river bay, he immediately ordered the fleet to sail in.

But after Cai Mao saw the terrain clearly, his heart suddenly fell into the abyss, and it was cold. This body of water was familiar to him and could no longer be familiar, there was only an entrance, no exit, it was a backwater Jedi.

Located in the center of Jingzhou and Soochow, the water flow here is slow, resulting in large tidal flats, sandbars, and countless small streams.

It was supposed to be a port, with a wide river connecting the east and west, but as the sediment carried by the Yangtze River continued to silt up, the upstream estuary was silent with a large amount of sediment, and it was already a sandbar, gradually connected to the land, and now it is a reed swing with no edge in sight, and the port has been abandoned for many years.

Only the opening downstream was connected to the Yangtze River, and in a panic, they rushed in, originally to avoid the pursuers and rest temporarily, but they didn't want to be a Jedi.

At sunset, on the river in the distance, Duan Dahu and the warships of Dongwu had already surrounded and blocked the mouth of the river. In other words, Cao's army was completely besieged in this guillotine harbor, and the serious dragon trapped in the shallows became a turtle in the urn.

Cai Mao felt sorry for himself, and suddenly his heart brightened: This is Duan Jun's strategy, Duan Dahu led the army to challenge, and Dongwu deliberately created momentum to fight Jingzhou and lure himself into battle, did he deliberately force himself here?

At that time, I was completely chased by the warship, saying that I was in a panic and went astray, but in fact, there was no other way to choose......

The more he thought about it, the more Cai Mao felt that his hands and feet were cold, and it was only ten months at this time, and he was already shivering. Not to mention being promoted and making a fortune now, my little life is estimated to be ruined here.

On the warship in the river, Duan Dahu and Guan Yu stood on the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. When they saw Cao Jun's hundreds of ships sailing into the broken reeds, the two looked at each other and smiled, and immediately laughed.

In fact, Guan Yu had already been waiting here, just waiting for Cao Jun to enter the reeds so as to block the exit. The Eastern Wu army led by Zhou Yu was not suitable for a head-on battle with the Cao army at this time, and any losses were unbearable for the alliance. Moreover, although Cai Mao was trapped, the main force of Cao's army was still there, and Dongwu could not be unguarded, so after completing the task of "intimidation", Zhou Yu arched his hand towards Duan Dahu on the building boat, and led the army to return south.

As agreed in advance, this battle was Jiangxia's, not Soochow's. Soochow can send troops to build momentum, but it must not participate in the war, and the dog jumps off the wall when he is in a hurry, and he can't afford to lose.

"Brother Duan, it's really done, as the military advisor said, Cao Jun has entered......" Guan Yu was very excited, patted Duan Dahu's back, and smiled like a child.

"Yes, the first battle has finally come to fruition!" Duan Dahu stared into the distance, muttering, and his mood was a little complicated.

Guan Yu said with a smile: "I have already inquired, this place is called Jinshadang. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was also a port here, but it was abandoned in the Qin period, and now it is surrounded by sandbars, reeds everywhere, and there is an open water area in the middle. But there is only one exit. The thief docked here, and it has become a turtle in an urn.

"Golden Sand!"

Duan Dahu nodded, repeating this place name in history in a low voice, a smile rising from the corner of his mouth.

He said with a smile: "Second Brother Guan, I really admire you, you can not only fight on land but also on water, and you know so much about the geography of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Guan Yu twisted his beard and said: "How can I do my duty in the terrain of the south of the Yangtze River? I happened to know such a place, and it can be regarded as having its own providence in the dark." ”

The two of them talked about Zhuge Liang again, strategizing, and the magic plan was nothing more than that! If there was no Zhuge Liang, I am afraid that this battle would really be more than auspicious.

And to be able to strategize like this, step by step, Zhuge Liang must have spent a lot of effort behind his back. He lives in seclusion in the grass on weekdays, and he is just a scholar, so he naturally does not know too much about the mountains and rivers. But it has only been a few months since he came out of the mountain, and he has such a comprehensive plan, which is really amazing and admirable.

is also a scholar, and some are reading dead books and don't know how to apply what they have learned. And if you are a talent like Zhuge Liang, you can learn one from the book, but you can turn it into ten on the battlefield. Besides, he is so young and has such ability and strength, no wonder Liu Bei admires it from the bottom of his heart.

"Second brother, although Cai Mao's sailor is now surrounded by Huang Tiandang, he still has tens of thousands of troops. And after being in a desperate situation, Cao Jun will definitely fight back with all his strength in order to survive, and there will still be a fierce battle. Duan Dahu said.

"Although Cao's army is under siege, our task is still arduous. Guan Yu said.

"You're familiar with water warfare, what should we do now?"

Guan Yu groaned: "In the current situation, according to the art of war, there is no need to enter it to chase and kill Cao Bing, and I am afraid that it is not an opponent if you really want to chase and kill." As long as they hold the mouth of the river and surround Cao's army here, it will not take many days, they will be short of food, and they will surely be in chaos. However, Cao Jun will definitely not sit still, there will be a hard battle, and Cao Cao will definitely send troops to rescue when he hears the news, and we will be attacked by the enemy at that time. ”

Duan Dahu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "What does the second brother mean?"

Guan Yu said: "This battle is just a sneak attack battle, but it can't last. Waiting for Cao Cao's reaction, we don't even have a way out. ”

"Also, Cai Mao's tens of thousands of sailors are inside, and Cao Cao's main force is outside, it is not easy to trap him, we will do our best to kill Cao Bing as much as possible. As long as this battle makes Cao Bing timid and frustrates their spirit, it can be regarded as a success. Duan Dahu said.

At this time, Cai Mao only thought of two words: "Break through!"

It is necessary to break through as soon as possible, which is the key to life and death.

However, he calmed down at this time, the more critical the situation, the more cautious it should be, the reason why the Wulin Water Battle failed and caused the tragic consequences of today's war is that it was rushed and rushed into the war, so this battle must be considered in the long run.

Cai Mao took out the demeanor of the governor of the navy, and asked calmly: "How is the morale of the army?" In fact, this is the problem he is most concerned about at present, many northern soldiers are not good at water warfare, and at this time they are in a desperate situation, he is very worried that the soldiers will not be able to accept it, causing turmoil in the army's heart.

Zhang Yun whispered: "Governor, the true situation of Jinshadang has been tightly sealed, and the soldiers below don't know about it, so they should just take a break here and fight Duan Dahu in the future." ”

"That's good!" Cai Mao sighed.

"However, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for a few days, because when we fought at night, the ship was not loaded with food!" Zhang Yun said dejectedly.
