Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 669
"Prime Minister, General Zhang is here to report that the iron chains blocking the river were destroyed by the Jiangdong navy, and the blockade could not be formed. The divine beast Baijiao, the prime minister's envoy, was also beheaded by Cheng Pu." Xiangyang, Chunan Camp, the siege is still going on At that time, the green spirit of the city guard at the head of Xiangfan city showed no signs of weakening, and the blockade of the river was frustrated.

Xiao Baijiao was injured, Chu Nan naturally knew, Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, how about letting the last general go to block the river?"

Destroying Xiangfan on the frontal battlefield is obviously a big project. The city of Xiangfan is full of vitality and manpower, so it is obviously impossible to break through in a short time.

Chu Nan came to the map and looked at it for a while, then shook his head and said: "The water army is their advantage. Although the general's arrow formation is powerful, even if he can break the opponent's water formation, the opponent can come and go freely. Our soldiers are not familiar with water skills. It doesn't make much sense to do that!"

He turned his head to look at Huang Zhong and Zhang Yun, and he could see that there was a bit of longing in the eyes of the generals. They were eager for meritorious service and slope land.

"I know that General Wen Yuan's defeat of Sun Quan's army has raised the mood in the army. This is a good thing, but you are all commanders of an army. You are the ones who lead the troops, not the ones who are led by them. You must keep calm at this time! "

Chu Nan slowed down, looked at the generals and said with a smile: "Water warfare is not our army's strong point, and everyone should know that as long as this battle continues, our army will definitely win the final victory, but the premise is that our army does not make big mistakes."

"Knowing that the enemy's naval force is powerful, but our naval force is insufficient, it is not the actions of a wise man to forcibly engage in a water battle with the enemy's army, making use of its weaknesses and avoiding its strengths. , but the only thing that matters is victory in this battle, not a momentary quickness, and stupid methods are sometimes the best." Chu Nan laughed.

"However, Xiangyang has not been broken for a long time. If food and water cannot be cut off, when will Xiangyang City be broken?" a general said helplessly.

"The hearts of the people are not endless, and the continuous war will damage the people's livelihood. Now the second city of Xiangfan is full of youth, because it is the middle of winter, and the people have nothing to do. But everyone, people can't stay in the city all the time, and the people have to make a living. One month and two months, it is natural to keep it, but one year or two years, the cultivated land around Xiangyang is deserted, even if Liu Bei and Sun Quan are added, how much food and grass can there be for the more than 20 people in Xiangfan to survive?"

Chu Nan said with a smile: "If you can't fight, then don't fight for the time being, train your troops well, stock up on crossbows and arrows, and prepare for breaking the city. Even if you don't attack the city, the green energy of the city will gradually dissipate. Now it's the first battle, and it's hard to be united. However, after a long time, when people's grievances breed, can they still hold on? Can they still gather these youthful spirits?"

Chu Nan is in a hurry. It is not clear what the situation in Tianwai is, but the more anxious you are, the less anxious you are, and you will make mistakes.

"What the prime minister said is right." Ju Shou stroked his beard and said: "The strength of our army is fighting with infantry and cavalry. The navy is not my strong point, so it is better to abandon it and only use our army's advantages to the extreme. Jiangdong If the navy dares to come ashore, are the generals still afraid that he will fail?"

"The general understands!" Huang Zhong and the others nodded silently. Although it was uncomfortable to see the Jiangdong navy come and go freely, as Chu Nan said, as long as Xiangyang is trapped and the soldiers and civilians are not allowed to move freely, the second city of Xiangfan It is the vampires in the entire Jingzhou and even Jiangdong. They must constantly transport supplies and food.

This is the consumption of money and food. Compared with this, Chu Nan has never been afraid of anyone.

It's just that even if this battle happens, it will be difficult to highlight their achievements. This is the fundamental reason why the generals are eager to fight.

After all, Zhang Liaojiang Xia broke [-] million and broke [-] in the first battle, which really stimulated the generals. They all held back their energy and wanted to fight a big battle that would become famous all over the world, but Chu Nan was always calm and calm. Overwhelmed by the general trend, victory is definitely possible, but it is too ordinary.

"Don't worry, everyone, the credit for this battle will not be less, and the key battle is not here." Chu Nan took a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, shook his head and smiled: "Instead of thinking about these things, it is better to think about increasing your cultivation, the future enemies will not As simple as it is now."

"Here!" All the generals hurriedly clasped their fists in agreement, and then returned to the camp.

In the following days, just as the generals had imagined, they were calm and calm. The generals led the soldiers to take turns to repair, and the Ministry of Industry was moved to Nanyang to make arrows and other siege equipment. For the navy, Chu Nan was not good either. No matter, he asked the Ministry of Industry to build a stone platform in the north of Xiangfan, and set up two rows of catapults along the banks of the river.

In the early spring, Chu Nan ordered the Ministry of Industry to transfer a large amount of situation, throw it into the center of the river, build a stone platform in the center of the river, set up a crossbow on it, and connect the two banks with iron cables. At the beginning, he was a little weak, and tried to cut off the iron chain several times, but was repulsed by the ballista of Jiangxin Stone Platform.

Even though they cut off the chains and sent a batch of supplies in, they blocked the river again the next day. So far, it took Chu Nan three months to complete the siege of the second city of Xiangfan, not to mention completely unable to support them. But it can no longer be as unimpeded as before.

"The construction of this stone platform in the heart of the river can be said to have cut off the communication between the second city of Xiangfan and the outside world." Jiangling, Governor's Mansion, Meng Jian, Xu You, Mi Zhu and other counselors were worried. Meng Jian looked at the map and rubbed his temples with some headaches. .

This Chu Nan is also stable. After Zhang Liao's failure to intercept, he didn't intend to fight the navy at all. Instead, he began to surround Xiangfan, build fortifications, set up ballista catapults, build a stone platform in the heart of the river, and then use iron ropes to cross the river, no matter what. What kind of move here is to manage the Xiangfan battlefield step by step, step by step, they have imagined countless strategies, but if the other party does not accept the move, they can only watch Chu Nan complete the blockade of Xiangfan step by step.

Now there are iron ropes blocking the river on the water, and Chu Nan's white dragon guarding the water, even if the Jiangdong navy wants to go in to support it, it will have to pay a very heavy price, and Chu Nan doesn't care how you break through, just guard the stone. Taiwan, if you pass by, call and lure...they won't accept it at all.

"The construction of this Jiangxin stone platform is not only to cut off the connection between Xiangfan, but more importantly, people's hearts." Xu You sighed leisurely: "Xiangfan has been trapped for several months. The last time the Jiangdong navy came back, I said that people's grievances have begun to breed in the city. The people are already feeling dissatisfied, and as the spring plowing approaches and the people have nothing to do, this dissatisfaction will continue to expand, and once the resentment of the people grows, the cohesion of the city's green spirit will weaken, and this is probably what Chu Nan is waiting for."

As a person who has fought against Chu Nan before, he is very clear about the purpose of Chu Nan's actions, but unfortunately, even if they know Chu Nan's plan, they can't do anything about it. Chu Nan's style of play is a typical war of destroying the country. This style of play squeezes your living space step by step, until in the end you have nowhere to escape and eventually perish.

This style of play consumes a lot of money. It is reasonable to say that Chu Nan’s consumption is still several times that of Jingzhou’s side, but the Central Plains is now rich in products. Over the past few months, many gentry have begun to complain.

After all, the whole of Jingzhou is now supporting the more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City.

It's not that they haven't thought about attacking Chu Nan from behind, but on Chu Nan's side, Huang Zhong, Zhang Xi, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Li Tong, and Lu Qian are waiting for them to attack. Every time they sent troops to help, they were almost wiped out by the opponent's attack. They were really a group of animals.

As for the navy, Chu Nan only charged tolls, and they didn’t care if you could pass. If you couldn’t, it was your own incompetence. Anyway, at most it was the price of reconnecting a few iron chains.

In fact, from a pessimistic point of view, Xiangfan has already been lost. If Chu Nan is so trapped, Xiangfan City will be destroyed sooner or later, and they have nothing to do.

"Can General Guan, General Le and Mr. Guangyuan be allowed to withdraw from Xiangyang?" Kuai Liang asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Liu Bei raised his head, looked at Kuai Liang, and said after a moment of silence: "Xiangfan is the gate of Jingxiang. Once Xiangfan falls, Nanjun will be lost! How should our army deal with it?"

Xiangfan has extremely strong strategic significance. Once Xiangfan falls, do you still expect Jiangling to hold it?

"Our army can retreat to Jingnan!" Kuai Liang sighed and said, "Use the big river as the boundary to resist Chunan."

This price is extremely high for Jingzhou, not only the loss of property and population, but more importantly, it gives Chu Nan a place to train the navy. Chu Nan only needs to train the navy in Xiangyang, and the Jiangxin Stone Platform can block With Chu Nan's personality, the Jiangdong army's raids will definitely come back after training well. By then, Chu Nan's shortcomings will also be made up. How can they fight against it?

Liu Bei naturally didn't want his brothers to take risks, but in the current situation, it can be said that if Xiangfan is lost, the Jingzhou army will die. Zhuge Liang's original strategy of dividing the world into three parts, he can't go on after taking the first step.

At this moment, Liu Bei somewhat understood why Zhuge Liang didn't want to go out of the mountain. To make a three-point strategy, he had to defeat Chu Nan. But in this situation, how could he defeat Chu Nan?
Liu Bei shook his head. He has also practiced Chu Nan's Qi training technique, and Guan Yu also has it, but the improvement in combat power is not as great as expected. After three months, he will fight against Chu Nan's army again, and he will lose faster. Not as good as before.

Maybe it's time to ask Kong Ming for help.

Meng Jian sighed inwardly. In the current situation, he was not sure whether Kong Ming had a plan to help them tide over the difficulties, but it was time for him to make a move.

"My lord!" Just as Meng Jian wanted to discuss this matter with Liu Bei, Xia Houbo came in from the door and saluted Liu Bei.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bei calmed down and asked with a forced smile.

"Mr. Lu Zijing is here and said he has something important to discuss with the lord." Xia Houbo said with a bow.

"Oh?" Liu Bei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, the only thing he could count on now was the cooperation with Jiang Dong, and he said immediately: "Please come quickly."

"Here!"

Xia Houbo agreed, turned and left, and after a while, he saw Lu Su striding in, bowing to Liu Bei, "I have seen the emperor!"
