Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 1078

Since it was impossible to open a breakthrough in Chibi, Qin Feng planned to open up a second battlefield after thinking for a long time.

Everyone started to think, and began to feel that Qin Feng's strategy was right.Now that the 80 army has stagnated here for a long time, it is extremely unfavorable, and it is indeed necessary to open up a second battlefield.

But along the Yangtze River, there are natural moats like forests, and the places outside the Red Cliff are all steep and guarded by the enemy.

"My lord, where are you going to find a second battlefield?" Old Jia Xu asked.

Qin Feng clicked on the map, "Here."

Suddenly, Dongting Lake came into view.

Zhou Yu came out and said: "Your Majesty, Dongting Lake is connected to the Yangtze River, and the waters are open. It is indeed a good place to open up a second battlefield. However, there is Baqiu Mountain guarding the entrance. My brother built the military parade building and set up stone-throwing positions on Baqiu Mountain in the early years. Guard the entrance to guard against Liu Biao, and recently heard that Sun Quan and Sima Yi are building reinforcements."

"The water at its entrance is shallow, and battleships cannot enter. The rest of the ships were hit by catapults in the mountains. If they forced their way in, they would suffer great losses, and they would be in danger of being encircled by the enemy's navy."

Zhou Yu is the former governor of Jiangdong, and he knows all the waters in Jiangdong very well.

Qin Feng first agreed with Zhou Yu's statement, but said: "Baqiu is dangerous, guarding Dongting Lake, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The enemy will never think that we will attack Baqiu. This king pretends to attack Chibi here to attract the enemy's attention. The Navy and Marine Corps attacked Baqiu by surprise. If you capture Baqiu, you will also capture Dongting Lake. What do you think?"

This tactic has a certain success rate and can be tried.

Gan Ning came out of the squad and said: "The last general is not talented. I would like to lead the marines to attack Baqiu by surprise and open up a landing point for our army on the second battlefield."

Pang Tong said: "If we can successfully open up the landing point, our army will be able to gain a firm foothold in Jingnan if we capture Changsha. It will also cut off the connection between Jiangdong and Liu Bei and Liu Zhang, and we will be able to enter Nanping Mountain and double-team Jiangdong in Chibi. Main force."

Therefore, Qin Feng formulated a strategy for the second battle, and ordered Gan Ning to lead [-] marines to dive into Dongting Lake and attack Baqiu Mountain by surprise.Metropolitan Governor Zhou Yu led [-] soldiers and horses to respond. If the surprise attack was successful, he would rush across Dongting Lake and attack Changsha.

After gaining Changsha, the Qin army had a base in Jingnan, and then the army continued to enter, marching eastward to Nanping Mountain, and surrounding Chibi from the rear, forming a situation of pincer attack from front to back.

Qin Feng asked Zhou Yu and Gan Ning to prepare first, and he would launch a fierce attack on Chibi five days later to attract the attention of the enemy.

Three days later.

South of Chibi, Daying of Soochow.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Lu Xun was quite worried, and said to the generals: "For several days, the enemy has not moved at all."

"Could it be that a big offensive is brewing?" Lu Meng asked.

"I think there must be something in it." Lu Xun thought for a while, and said, "Send someone to inform the Lord quickly, and we must beware of the ferry downstream." He looked at the map of the river area, and said: "Chen Wu, Pan Zhang, you two Take [-] soldiers and horses to strengthen the defense of Dongting Lake. Ding Feng and Zhu Zhi, you two take [-] soldiers and horses to Hankou to strengthen the defense there."

"In the past few days, all ministries must cheer up and never let go of any disturbance."

"Here!"

All the generals were ordered to act separately.

Two days later.

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang settled in Baqiu Mountain.

The name "Baqiu" is said to be derived from "Baqiu".Ba snake is a giant snake in ancient Chinese mythology, which is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing".Because of cholera, the Yellow Emperor sent people to expel him, but Houyi shot him and split him into two pieces with a sword. His bones were piled up into a hill named "Baqiu", which circled the entrance of Dongting Lake and the Yangtze River.

Soochow built a position in Baqiu Mountain, and built a tall building near the lake in front of the water at the foot of the mountain, called the Yuejun Building.The interest is similar to a castle, looking down at Dongting and looking forward to Junshan.

This building is the predecessor of the later Yueyang Tower.The main building is 20 meters high, with three floors, four columns, cornices and a helmet top.Its unique crown structure represents its military use.

Later generations have the reputation of "the water in Dongting, the building in Yueyang". It is also known as the "three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River" together with the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, Hubei and Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi.

This parade building is the headquarters of the Baqiu Eastern Wu Army.

During the day.

"Report..., General, the enemy is attacking our Chibi water stronghold. It has used all the strength of the navy, and it is the biggest attack so far."

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang became nervous and ordered the three armies of Baqiu to be on alert and ready to go at any time.

Sunset dusk.

"Report..., general, the governor is firmly guarding the water fortress. Our army has won a complete victory. The enemy suffered heavy losses and has already retreated."

Chen Wu and Pan Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wudao: "It is said that Dudu Lu is young, but now it seems that Dudu's ability is not inferior to Dudu Sima's."

Pan Zhang thought so.

The soldiers were exhausted from a tense day.So the two left the required guard force, and the rest of the soldiers could all take off their armor and rest.

When the Soochow soldiers learned of Lu Xun's victory, they felt much more relaxed.

night.

More than a dozen Soochow boats cruised back and forth at the entrance of Dongting Lake.

The leading officer ordered his boat to stop, took out his fishing tackle, and said with a smile: "The governor's flag has won, and the Qin army has nothing to fear. It seems that we will be able to catch a big fish today."

The soldiers laughed relaxedly, and the speed of cruising subconsciously slowed down a lot.

In the darkness, only three to five meters of water could be seen in front of Soochow's torches.Not far from the entrance, many reeds floated.

Gan Ning poked his head out and spat out a mouthful of water. He looked at the Soochow patrol boat not far away. Since there were torches on board, he could see clearly in the night.A few minutes later, Gan Ning said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the enemy only thinks they are victorious, and they are much more relaxed than they were in the past few days. Just wait, and when you see a vision, you will speed up and dive over. Well, after passing the bright spot of the fire, you can swim another ten feet before you can take a breath."

All the marines are frogmen, and they all follow orders.

It is said that Gan Ning sneaked over, and when he came to the surface of the water, the fire was shining, and he saw a fishhook in the water, which was empty.Gan Ning laughed heartily, "There is no more bait, what fish are you still catching with a stick?"

Gan Ning is worthy of being a sailor who rode a shark with King Qin in the Bohai Bay. He caught a big fish and hung it on a hook.

on the water.

The Soochow military officer was overjoyed, "Wow, haha, let me just say, the governor won the victory, and I will also be rewarded here. Look, look, what a big fish! Say less than [-] catties!"

Following the officer's "swipe fish fight", the eyes of the patrol soldiers were all attracted to the past.

The vision appeared, and the waiting Qin army marines took a deep breath and took action underwater.All of them, like dolphins, quickly passed the Soochow patrol fleet.

However, a Soochow soldier suddenly lay on the bow of the ship.

　Thanks: book friend 8588 brother for the reward.
