The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 297
The four major families in Wu County are Gu Lu Zhu Zhang. These four families are too powerful and they are married to each other. Therefore, Sun Quan wants to use Lu Xun but is always on guard against him.

In the original work, although Sun Quan married Sun Ce's daughter to Lu Xun, he was wary of Lu Xun from beginning to end, and in the end Sun Quan even forced Lu Xun to death.

Therefore, at such a critical time, Sun Quan would definitely not reuse Lu Xun.

Then besides Lu Xun, Lu Su has the most foresight and strategy. Unfortunately, Lu Su has too little experience in leading troops to fight, and his opponent is Gan Ning, who is recognized as a master of water warfare after Zhou Yu.

There is no shortage of generals in the Jiangdong army, but there are really few who can stand on their own. Lu Meng fought bravely and was quite strategic, but even if he was a late bloomer, Lu Meng could still be competent as a general in the army. To formulate a country's development strategy It's hard for him.It is okay for other generals to lead troops to fight, but it is not good for them to coordinate the overall situation.

In fact, in this era without mechanical ships and artillery, although the size of a warship is important, it is not an absolute factor. Moreover, if a small ship is commanded properly and the soldiers fight bravely, it can actually restrain a large ship on certain occasions.

But that requires flexible operations, not head-on confrontation, but constant sneak attacks, harassment, and guerrilla warfare.Just like cavalry against infantry, if the infantry is waiting in formation, the cavalry will constantly harass them. If the infantry starts to move, they will take advantage of the chaos and attack.

Now there are still infantry behind the Jingzhou navy, who are disembarking and landing, preparing to besiege Lujiang County and Wancheng.Cheng Pu, as the governor of Jiangdong, of course refused to give up Wancheng, so he could only fight head-on with Jiangdong navy and Jingzhou navy, hoping to return to defend Wancheng after defeating Jingzhou navy.

Facts have proved that the small boats of the Jiangdong Army really cannot beat the big ships of the Jingzhou Army.Although Dong Xi, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, Zhu Ran and other generals also fought desperately, there was nothing they could do with the iron chains of the Jingzhou navy.

You want to shoot at each other with bows and crossbows. There are many soldiers on the big ship. The crossbowmen can clean up the Jiangdong soldiers on a small boat with a single salvo. Moreover, there are trebuchets and heavy crossbows on the big ship. There are also thick parapets that provide shelter.

If you say you want to jump on other people's big boats to fight in close quarters, that is purely to die, and the rows of sword and shield soldiers and spearmen are prepared for you.

It should be said that the iron chain boat is afraid of fire attack, but the Jiangdong navy is downstream, so the fire boat will float downstream along the current when it is released.Moreover, there are countless small warships guarding around the iron chain ship, cooperating with the battle.

Of the [-] sailors currently in Cheng Pu's hands, only about [-] are relatively elite, preserved from the last battle of Chibi, and the rest are either newly recruited or former second-line troops.

Therefore, as soon as the two sides fought, the Jiangdong navy was at a disadvantage. Although they launched wave after wave of attacks under the leadership of their respective generals, they still could not shake the formation of the Jingzhou navy.

Gan Ning was not in a hurry, he just steadily forced the Jiangdong navy to fight, if you don't want to fight, you can escape to Moling, I will never chase.But after I take the Lujiang River, the next target is Moling. If you still want to escape, you can only escape to the sea.

Seeing that the battle was against him, Cheng Pu was very anxious. If the fight continued like this, the Jiangdong army would definitely lose, and Wancheng would be lost, and then Lujiang would be over.As a veteran of the three dynasties of Jiangdong, Cheng Pu was both the governor of Jiangdong and the oldest general in Jiangdong. How could he be willing to lose the territory he and his old brothers had sacrificed their lives for?
Therefore, Cheng Pu wanted to lead his troops to charge, but was stopped by Lu Su.

"Great Governor, you are the commander in chief of the armed forces, don't act rashly!"

The last time Jiangdong Army collapsed because of Zhou Yu's accident.Although the Jiangdong army is still at a disadvantage, it can still hold on. If something happens to Cheng Pu again, then Jiangdong will be over immediately.

"Zijing, do you have a good plan?" Cheng Pu asked.

What good ideas can you come up with!Water warfare is not like land warfare where large-scale outflanking and ambushes can be carried out.Above the river, the field of vision is wide. I can clearly see any movement you make, and you can also clearly see any movement I make.

Can you still drag the boat to land, and then drag the boat to come behind me and then attack me in the water?

Therefore, the comparison of water battles is the strength of the two armies, and the most used strategy is fire attack.If the Jingzhou army's iron chain boats were so easy to burn, they would have been burned by Cao Cao long ago.

"Governor, as long as we persevere, the lord will definitely send reinforcements."

Cheng Pu had no choice but to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

At the same time, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun led [-] infantry to Wancheng and surrounded Wancheng, accompanied by Pang Tong.

At this time, Lu Fan and Zhu Heng were guarding Wancheng. There were only more than [-] soldiers in the city. Lu Fan did not dare to go out to fight, so he had to guard the city and wait for reinforcements.

Pang Tong said to Guan Yu: "General Guan, although there are not many troops in Wancheng, the soldiers in Jiangdong still have the heart to defend the city at this time. Attacking the city will cause unnecessary losses. It is better to besiege the city for now, and wait for General Gan to defeat the Jiangdong navy. After reinforcements are made in the city, their minds will be disturbed, and then attacking the city can reduce losses."

Although Guan Yu was a little proud, it was also a matter of personal preference. He didn't dare to be proud of Pang Tong, because he knew Pang Tong's ability and status.And it's strange to say that although Guan Yu and Zhang Fei have been with Zhuge for a long time, they don't get along with Zhuge Liang, but they get along better with Pang Tong and Xu Shu, because these two military advisers often drink with them.

Guan Yu admired Xu Shu's both civil and military skills, and also admired Xu Shu's chivalry and righteousness, and even killed and fled to avenge his friends.Zhang Fei has a better relationship with Pang Tong, and the two are even drinking buddies.And Pang Tong and Xu Shu, as Zhang Wu's trusted military advisers, have no pretensions, and get along very well with the generals.

In the eyes of Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, Zhuge Liang is a bit noble, and he doesn't drink alcohol. How can they chat happily together?

But Zhuge Liang's relationship in Jingzhou is also very hard, mainly in the civil service group.His two brother-in-laws were both prefects, and they were classmates with Pang Tong, Xu Shu, Xiang Lang, Jiang Wan and others, and they were also very close to the Ma family, and his wife's family was the Huang family.Although Huang She, the current head of the Huang family, is not very capable, he is a close friend with Mi Heng, the head of Jingzhou civil servants, and no one needs to be notified when entering or leaving the state pastoral mansion.

Therefore, Guan Yu said: "The military advisor's words are reasonable, so follow the military advisor's plan."

Afterwards, Guan Yu ordered his soldiers to surround Wancheng and cut down trees to build catapults.

The west, southwest, north, and northeast of Wancheng are all surrounded by the Dabie Mountains, so the Jingzhou army only needs to surround the east and south.Further north of Wancheng is Cao Cao's territory, and it is impossible to have reinforcements from Jiangdong.

Pang Tong said again: "Although the Jiangdong navy is at war with our army, it is impossible to come to support, but General Guan must beware of a soldier coming."

"Where are the soldiers and horses?" Guan Yu asked.

"Hefei." Pang Tong pointed to Hefei on the map and said, "Hefei is guarded by Cao Ren, Li Dian and Le Jin. If they know that our army is attacking Lujiang, they will come to make trouble. Therefore, General Guan can send a The general is stationed in the east of the city to guard against Cao Ren."
