Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 382 Soochow's Maginot Line of Defense.

The battle of landing on the riverside lasted from night to noon the next day.At noon the next day, the Qin army finally completely occupied the entire shore.

The Wu army and water army blocking the way have been completely defeated. Before the battle, Zhou Yu had already issued an order that if they were defeated, they were not allowed to return to the city.All the soldiers fled separately along the riverside path.To put it bluntly, this is to let these defeated soldiers fend for themselves.

This battle was fought fiercely, with 10,000 Qin troops defeating [-]+ Soochow troops in one battle.Therefore, after the first battle, the Soochow navy can be said to have been wiped out, and it is no longer qualified to compete with the Qin army.

This battle was fought fiercely, and the casualties of the Qin army's sailors were also very tragic.A total of more than [-] people died, and the total number of minor and serious injuries added up to more than [-] wounded soldiers.It can be said that almost half of the soldiers of the Qin army who participated in the landing this time were wounded.

"Advance ten miles along the coast to set up camp. Three ditches must be dug in front of the village. Antlers and repelling horses should be doubled. The scouts must be sent to Chanling City." Zheng Chenggong ordered the soldiers under his command.

At this time, it can be said that Qin Jun was the most exhausted.After fighting all night, the soldiers of the Qin army were exhausted.Moreover, most of the soldiers were still wounded.

Zheng Chenggong's arrangement was for fear that Wu Jun would take the opportunity to counterattack them.Zheng Chenggong's behavior is not a big mistake.

The front camp of the Qin army.

"report"

"Governor, the King of Qin is here." Zheng Chenggong was commanding his soldiers to set up the village when he heard a soldier coming to report.

After a while, Li Chen rushed over with a group of army generals.This is led by Army Marshal Chen Qingzhi, followed by Cheng Yaojin, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, Pei Yuanqing and other generals.

"Congratulations to the chief governor, congratulations to the chief governor."

"Your naval army successfully landed on the beach overnight, which is a great contribution to the King of Qin." Jia Xu, the military adviser, said to Chen Qingzhi with a smile.

When fighting Jiangdong, it is best to fight fast, and if you want to fight quickly, you have to use many strange, insidious, and poisonous moves.

Liu Bowen thought that he was inferior to Jia Xu in using these strategies, so he took the initiative to give up the position of the frontline military adviser to Jia Xu, and returned to the rear to be responsible for the transportation of food and grass.

"The military adviser was joking, my navy is just a temporary success."

"Next, after the army captures Chanling, they can go straight down to Jiangdong. This is an incomparable achievement." Zheng Chenggong said modestly.

"The governor's words are wrong. If there is no navy to seize the river and land, how can our army be able to seize the city and pull out the stronghold." Chen Qingzhi also said.

In the battle between Qin and Wu, from the first half of the water battle at Fankou, to the breakthrough of Zhou Yu's Jiudao Water Village, to the current crossing of the two river estuaries, the landing battle on the beach.These successive battles were fought by the navy, and the army has been watching the excitement in the dry village on the shore.

Now, the first half of the water battle is over, and the second half of the land battle, this is the time for the army to perform.

For a while, both the generals of the navy and the army seemed very happy, and the kung fu was actually boasting to each other for business.

"Let the brothers in the navy go to the rear to rest, and the army equipment will wait for the shore to fight."

"Military Master, let's go to Chanling City first, and think about how to break the city." Li Chen said to Jia Xu.

After Li Chen's order, Zheng Chenggong began to order his soldiers to transport the wounded soldiers to the army's dry village first, and then dragged the army's soldiers when they came back.In this way, it is tantamount to the two sides switching positions.

You know, this is a dispatch of hundreds of thousands of troops. Without a day or two of effort, it is impossible to complete the dispatch.

Li Chen personally brought a group of generals of the army to Chanling City.As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy can make you invincible. If you want to capture Chanling City, you must first understand the layout of Chanling City.

Although Chanling City is not big, the city wall is very strong.The entire city is built with huge stones, and the city wall is about three feet high.Li Chen reckoned that such a city wall would be difficult to shake even if shells hit the wall.

And this week, Zhou Yu is the governor of Soochow Wu, he has learned a lot from a fall.After suffering the loss of Qin Jun's good guns, now he actually built a "sunshade" on the city wall.

Zhou Yu ordered people to build a shed with bamboo, wood and other materials on the top of the city wall of Chanling City, with a slope of forty or fifty degrees.This is like adding a roof to the city wall, if the Qin army is bombarding it with artillery.

It is difficult for these artillery to hit the city wall, but they will hit the roof first.The roof is a three-layer sandwich.The innermost layer is wood or bamboo, the middle layer is iron sheet, and the top layer is covered with a thick layer of mud.

In order to build this shed that can block the Qin army's artillery, Zhou Yu can be said to have painstakingly, almost exhausting the strength of Jiangdong's craftsmen.It was only then that the object was completely repaired before the Qin army attacked.

Even if Qin Jun's artillery is powerful, it is impossible for him to hit through the iron sheet.With this shed that can block the artillery fire of the Qin army, the Qin army will not be able to take advantage of the artillery.At that time, if the Qin army wanted to attack the city, they would have to pay for their lives.

In addition to the cannon shed, Zhou Yu also built many turrets and border towns outside Chanling City. These turrets protrude from Chanling City, and they can shoot the attacking Qin army with bows and arrows from all directions.

Even the outermost moat, Zhou Yu made people widen it by two or three feet. Now the moat is five or six feet wide, and it is not easy to cross the moat.

Let's put it this way, Chanling City is the Maginot Line of Defense built by Zhou Yu for Soochow.The German army could bypass the Maginot Line built by France, but Li Chen had to fight against the Maginot Line of Soochow.

There are many mountains and rivers in Jiangdong, and Chanling City is the only way to attack.It is impossible for Li Chen to take a detour, as there is no road in the entire vicinity of Chanling that can accommodate the entry and exit of the army.Taking a small path will inevitably divide the troops, and the Qin army will land and fight, and once the troops are divided, they will be defeated.

"Military Master, Chanling City is not easy to fight!" Li Chen sighed and said to Jia Xu.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu was not panicked at all, and there was even a hint of a smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Ha ha!"

"Don't worry, King Qin, I can destroy this Chanling city in three days." Jia Xu laughed loudly.

"Oh! The military master has a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Li Chen asked Jia Xu.

"Naturally there is a strategy to destroy the city, and the city can be destroyed without abolishing a single soldier. However, this strategy cannot be told to the King of Qin. Telling the King of Qin will not work."

"Don't ask, King Qin, after three days, we will take Chanling." Jia Xu laughed.

Jia Xu did have a plan to break the city, but since Jia Xu is called a poisoner, his plan is a poisonous plan.Jia Xu can break Chanling City, but the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Chanling City may all die in Chanling City.
