The revival of Shu Han

Chapter 377 Yongan Turtle Flow ([-])

A country is like a person, and as a person has a character, so does a country.

Whether it is the former Shu Han or the current Ji Han, although there are such noises, the mainstream from top to bottom is a group of idealists working hard to realize their ideals.

Although compared with Cao Wei, Sima Jin's efficiency, political style, and combat effectiveness are all far behind.But in general, before Sima Yan died, it was basically reliable.

And what about the country of Soochow?

There are two ends of the first mouse, doing great things but cherishing life, greedy for small gains and forgetting life.This is the overall pissing nature of the Jiangdong aristocratic family that has begun to decay. In Soochow, where the regime had to be Jiangdong, such a state attribute cannot be completely changed by an enterprising monarch.

Originally, according to the plan of Sun Hao and others, Wu Guo was going to send troops in the middle and late November.As a result, it was December, and neither Jingzhou nor Jiaozhou could be mobilized.

The reason is, of course, that the Soochow family was holding back.

In Jingzhou, Lu Kang had 5 people under his command, and Zhong Hui supported another 7.But among the 5 people, the national army only has about [-] people, and the remaining [-] people are all private soldiers from various families.Among these private soldiers, the aristocratic families who were originally in Jingzhou were fine.The private soldiers of the Lu family, Lu family, Lu family and other families are basically on standby, ready to fight at any time.But the aristocratic soldiers from Yangzhou, hey, I don't know what to say.

Not only in Jingzhou, but in Jiaozhou the situation is even worse.The commander here, Xue Jue, was much less capable than Lu Kang, but the key was that Xue Jue was still sick at this time, so he didn't have much energy to manage things.You said that you should take a rest if you are not in good health, and leave the matter to the people below to do it.For example, Tao Huang, the prefect of Cangwu, is a very capable general.But this Xue Jue held power and refused to let go. He couldn't do things by himself, and he didn't allow others to do things.As a result, even though Zhong Hui had sent Yangzhou reinforcements to Jiaozhi, the entire Jiaozhou army was still unable to act.

Faced with such a situation, Sun Hao in Jianye was of course very angry, and even issued a strict order to urge him.In addition, the state of Jin in the north did indeed launch operations in Bingzhou and Tongguan, which involved a large number of Ji Han's troops.At the same time, the state of Jin in Shangyong also fought with Cao Wei, and it is said that it went well, taking down two of the three counties in Shangyong.At this time, the aristocratic families of Soochow began to worry: at the beginning, we wanted to ask Jin to help us attract the attention of Shu thieves first.But Jin's progress is too fast, right?Accidentally, Cao Wei will be wiped out just after raising the flag?If the Wei and Jin stopped their troops, the Jin State retreated, and the Shu thieves pulled out their hands, and we pounced on it at that time, wouldn't we be looking for a fight?So, hurry up, take advantage of the fact that the Shu thieves are being restrained, let's play on the fine traditions of the previous great emperors, and hurry up to steal a chicken.

Finally, on December 269, [-] AD, Lu Kang sent troops to Xiling.

The Yangtze River in this time period is in the dry season, and it does not have the ferocious face of wanton roaring in summer. Except for the occasional hidden reefs under the river, which are annoying, it is generally very friendly.So on December [-] of this year, Lu Kang's army crossed Jianping County and entered Jihan's Padong County.

After entering Badong County, crossing the narrowest Wu Gorge on the river, and entering Qutang Gorge where the water is slightly gentler.Lu Kang ordered the whole army to stop.

"What's the meaning of this, Commander?"

"Our army took too long to prepare in Xiling. Given the ability of the Shu thief Si Wencao, Yong'an City must be prepared at this time. It is impossible to simply attack. So, let's take a break here. Then see if we can find an opportunity to lure out the defenders in Yong'an City."

When Lu Kang said this, many generals of the Jingzhou Legion such as Zhang Zheng, Lu Mu, and Lu Shu felt that there was no problem.But the generals from Yangzhou were not very convinced.Among them, Gu Lizheng said that he was a relative of Lu Kang, and blatantly said: "Young Festival, His Majesty gave us the order to take down Yong'an and then enter Fuling. My Great Wu sent a total of [-] troops this time (there is another [-] troops) Stay in Xiling to guard against Jin’s betrayal of the alliance). How many troops can the Shu rebels have in Yong’an? What if they are prepared? Besides, only Jiang Wei and Guan Yi can fight the Shu rebels. The other generals They're all like chickens and dogs... Once my army arrives, wouldn't it be fine to just crush them?"

"Hehehe, Ji Xun must not underestimate the Shu thieves in Yong'an. Guan Zifeng deployed [-] troops here, including [-] sailors. Their general is Sun Gang, the veteran of the Shu thieves Fuxing Society Sun Dinglie. Although this person is not well-known in the Fuxing Society, the governor knows that this person is calm and resolute but cautious. With this person in charge, Yong'an's defense must be extremely complete. It is not possible to win by simply relying on more troops."

"Otherwise, I also know Sun Dinglie. I admit that he is good at raising pigs, but he wants to lead soldiers to fight, hahahaha~~~"

It's as if you, Gu Li, have actually led soldiers in battle.

Although they secretly despise them, Lu Kang and Lu Xun have the same character: when their colleagues don't believe what they say, the Lu family will never stand up.On the contrary, he will let you do what you originally thought, until you come back to admit your mistake after being beaten badly.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Kang also smiled and said to Gu Li: "Since Ji Xun thinks so, well, the governor will give you 150 fighting ships, [-] building ships, and [-] warships, totaling [-] troops. Ji Xun can be the vanguard of our army and attack Yong'an first. Is that good?"

"Great kindness! Please don't worry about Xiaojie, there will be good news later!"

Only when there is good news, there will be ghosts.However, although what I allocated to you must be an army mainly composed of private soldiers, it is 2 people after all.It's not good to lose too much.Therefore, not long after Gu Li cheerfully went down to organize the army, Lu Kang also called over a square-faced general with three long beards, who looked extremely majestic at first glance: "Young people, you should also go prepare and lead a The Wan Wuchang Army will follow up."

"The last general takes orders!"

This group of disciples is Zhang Zheng, the general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty.On the historical plane, Yang Hu and Lu Kang died of illness one after another.The military chiefs of the Western Jin Dynasty and Eastern Wu in Jingzhou were replaced by Du Yu and Zhang Zheng successively.Facing the Jingzhou defense line presided over by Zhang Zheng, even Du Wuku felt helpless.In the end, he had no choice but to resort to countermeasures and asked Sun Hao to remove Zhang Zheng by himself.

Therefore, with this support, in Lu Kang's view, our side may suffer a small defeat, but it will not suffer heavy losses.In this way, Yangzhou's reinforcements will become obedient to command.

A small defeat in exchange for a high degree of unity in the command of the entire army, whether it was Lu Xun in the past or Lu Kang now, would all think it was worth it.

However, Lu Kang completely underestimated Sun Gang's reaction this time.

On December 2, Gu Li and Lu Kang divided their forces, and then led [-] people to attack Yong'an.

After all, he is a child of a family, Gu Li still has some brains.He controlled the forward speed of the fleet very well.By the time the entire fleet appeared in the sight of Yong'an City, the sun had completely set.The night acts as a good cover-yes, most ships in this era are looking for a place to stop at night, but who are we?The greatest Wu navy in the world!When Chibi defeated Cao Man, it was a night battle!So night flight or something is not a problem at all!
However, Sun Gang densely planted various buoys in the Yangtze River waterway.These buoys are ignited at night: in normal times, these buoys are like lightships marking inland reefs in modern society, pointing out dangers to ships sailing at night.In wartime, as a large number of warships sailed in, the big ships breaking through the waves formed waves that were transmitted from the center of the river to the riverside.This caused the buoys in the river to shake violently.Thus the buoy suddenly becomes a sentinel: the enemy is coming!
When Gu Li's fleet sailed into Yong'an Waterway, many buoys in the waterway shook violently one after another.Just hearing a whistle, the upper reaches of the river, which was originally dark, suddenly became brighter.

All the battleships of Jihan Yong'an Navy have long been placed in the waterway of the Yangtze River, and all of them are facing the enemy horizontally amidships.

With the sound of a drum on the warship, countless fireballs soared from the battleship of the Jihan Navy, drawing a very bright arc in the pure black night sky - the soldiers of the Jihan Navy didn't care about the downstream direction and looked darkly Unclear status quo.Just go crazy and start shooting blind!
Although the hit rate of blind shooting is extremely low, there are hits in the end.After Soochow's first warship was hit, the fire spread.Against the backdrop of the flames, the entire Soochow fleet had nowhere to hide.

"Order! Release the fire boat!"

"No! Release the fire boat!"

Following the sound of a steady voice on Ji Han's huge fighting ship, Ji Han's water army straddling the river immediately released more than 100 small fire boats downstream.

This kind of fire boat is extremely simple in construction, and there is no protection for the bow at all.But there is indeed a huge sail in the middle of the whole hull, and the hull is filled with all kinds of hay and kerosene.There is even a pointed barb protruding from the bow.This kind of ship is the natural advantage of the upstream side in the inland water battle against the downstream side.

After the fireboat had let out for some distance, the few sailors on board adjusted the angle of the sails for the last time to maximize their speed.Then he lit the dry grass on the boat, and then quickly jumped into the water.

"The fire boat is coming! Pay attention to avoid it!"

"Go forward and block the fire boat!"

"The fireboats are concentrated in the center of the river, the fleet is scattered, and they are moving to both sides of the river to avoid!"

After all, the Soochow navy fought old water battles. Seeing this posture, commanders at all levels quickly issued the most correct orders.

Unfortunately, whether the order is correct or not depends on the development of the times and changes in the geographical environment.

As the Soochow fleet began to turn, especially after the main warships in the fleet moved from the center of the river to the two banks.Another whistle sounded.Countless fireballs fell from the sky on the originally towering cliffs on both sides of the strait!

"Tapellets! Shu thieves actually installed trebuchets on the cliffs on both sides of the river!"
