The Rise of the Song People of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 745 Retreating to Luo County

On the West Lake of Dongting Lake, Zhou Yu sent Jia Hua and Zhou Shan each to lead a small fleet to check the situation of the East Lake and South Lake, and he also led the water army to the South Lake.

After waiting for about an hour, only one scorpion came back. Jia Hua killed six scorpions and only one came back. This shows that there are not only enemy troops but also the destruction of this not weak water army. It is likely to be a large-scale one. Only the navy can do it!

Zhou Yu's complexion was ugly, and Lieutenant Sun Yu, Sun He, Sun Hao and others also had expressions of disbelief!

Zhou Yu thought for a while and ordered again: "Sun He, you personally bring a search team to check the situation in East Lake. You have found that the enemy army is not allowed to fight with the enemy! Come back and report!"

"Here!" Sun He followed the order and left.

Now Zhou Yu urgently needs to know the enemy's intelligence in order to respond effectively. Sun He followed him through life and death. He is a steady general, and he can also be said to be Zhou Yu's most trusted person.

This time, after waiting for about half an hour, Sun He came back with an ugly face.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief! Both the East Lake and the South Lake have a large number of enemy sailors from the Song army. I'm afraid that General Zhou Shan's warship is missing..."

"How is this possible?" The young Sun Yu still couldn't believe this reality.

Sun He ignored Sun Yu and continued to report: "The East Lake enemy banner has the word 'Jinfan' on it, and the South Lake banner has the word 'Haicao', which means both the Jinfan Camp and the Haijiao Camp are here. "

Zhou Yu's handsome face became more serious and he muttered to himself: "Shenshui Zhoutai, Haijiao Jiangqin, Jinfan Ganning, and the three major navy divisions of the Song Army are encircling and suppressing together. Lu Heng, ah, Lu Heng really thinks highly of me, Zhou Yu!"

Sun Yu, Sun Hao and the other generals all had terrified expressions on their faces. They had fought against Zhou Tai's Shenshui camp many times on the Yangtze River in the past two years, so they naturally knew the opponent's combat strength!
The achievements of the Haijiao Battalion back then are vivid in my memory. The three famous naval divisions fought together. This is not as simple as one plus one, and each of them has a serious face and no longer speaks.

What the navy and the army fight is hard power. A war that requires the use of ships is basically immune to more than [-]% of the tactics!

Imagine an endless lake or sea, even if a fleet of ships rushes towards you at high speed, the ships are not as fast as war horses, and the time to respond depends on the commander's ability.

Not to mention the Battle of Chibi and the burning of the chain boats are all plots written by Luo Guanzhong. In the history of the Battle of Chibi, there was no fight because of the plague. The fire was set by Cao Cao himself to control the plague.

As for the battle between Chen Youliang and Zhu Chongba, the pure Chen Youliang suffered a big defeat in his own brain. At that time, Chen Youliang didn't want to engage in serial boats, and fought steadily. Chen Youliang's fleet didn't talk about crushing, and the victory over Zhu Chongba didn't say that it was safe and secure. Always no problem.

Another example is the cliff landscape battle at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty. In this move, the Song army also used a chain of boats. Zhang Hongfan even used a fire attack, but the Song army defeated each boat with a piece of wood.

Then someone has to ask, the Southern Song Army had 20 troops and [-] warships, but why did Zhang Hongfan of the Yuan Army lose with [-] troops and [-] warships?
First of all, did the Southern Song Dynasty really have 20 'troops'?The [-] elites of the Yuan army consisted of [-] Mongolian troops and [-] soldiers and horses of other ethnic groups.

If there were really 20 troops in the Southern Song Dynasty who did not die to defend Yashan and fight decisively on the road?This is not a small force!

The terrain of Yashan is also dangerous. There are two mountains separated by two mountains, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The thing is that the so-called 20 troops are actually composed of eunuchs, court ladies, and family members of civil servants, and it is the Yuan army, not the Southern Song Dynasty, that has the strongest hard power.

At that time, the water source in the Southern Song Dynasty had been cut off. He drank seawater and ate dry food continuously, and his combat effectiveness was almost lost!Only then did he fail!
Looking back now, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Li Bao actually used Hengjiang iron lock again!
The purpose is to block the east, south, and west of Dongting Lake into the Yangtze River estuary, and gradually suppress and narrow the encirclement with three naval forces, so as to try to trap Zhou Yu's naval forces in Dongting Lake!Even if Zhou Yu is not trapped to death, he must control the Yangtze River and drive Zhou Yu's water army into the Xiangjiang River!

Lu Heng's purpose is to destroy Sun Quan, he must first control the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and to control the natural danger of the Yangtze River, he must first control Zhou Yu's navy!
Therefore, the plan of destroying Sun Quan by water and land was adopted first. The reason why Zhou Yu’s navy could not be trapped was in Dongting Lake, because this lake is not only connected to the Yangtze River, but also connected to the Xiangjiang River. , Laishui, and Leishui are connected.

In a word, if you want to run with all your heart, you will never be able to trap Zhou Yu, so you can only retreat and control the natural danger of the Yangtze River. As for Zhou Yu's navy?
As long as Sun Quan is destroyed by attacking Huanglong, Zhou Yu's navy will be a tree without roots, not to mention that Zhou Yu will not sit back and watch Sun Quan be wiped out without doing anything.

Some people want to ask why Cao Cao failed to succeed in destroying Sun Quan in history?
First of all, the geographical location of Jiangdong is different from that of Jingzhou. The Yangtze River in the northeast of Jiangxi completely protects Jiangdong, while the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou divide Jingbei and Jingnan into two.

The most important thing is that Lu Heng occupied Jiangdong and Huaihe Rivers, and he could directly march westward from the Yangtze River. Even Song Dynasty, who controlled Jingbei, could say that he controlled most of the Yangtze River in his own hands, forcing Zhou Yu to only have a section of the Yangtze River defense line in Changsha.

So now the Song Dynasty wants to destroy Sun Quan, who only has Jingnan, but it is actually not as difficult as Cao Cao!It's similar to Liu Bei's fight against Jingnan!

"Retreat! Retreat to Luo County (that's right, the one in Kou Feng's fiefdom)!" Zhou Yu ordered helplessly!

The size of Dongting Lake was too great for the Song Dynasty navy with a huge force and fleet. Instead, it retreated to Luo County. Here, there is a fork where Xiangshui, Dongting Lake, and Miluoyuan (that is, the Miluo River in later generations) converge.

This place is the necessary mouth to go down the Dongting Lake and is also a dangerous water flow. The point is that the waters here are not so open, so that the huge fleet of the Song Dynasty Navy cannot be fully invested in the battlefield.

If you can't understand it vividly, it is actually a certain Three Kingdoms 11 game, the port north of Changsha, where the three rivers converge, which is very easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Being able to strangle the north gate of Changsha in Luoxian County, and Zhou Yu's navy can defend Miluo Yuan, it can be said that he has accomplished multiple things with one stone!
But even so, Zhou Yu actually gave up the natural dangers of the Yangtze River and Dongting Lake. Since then, the Yangtze River has been completely controlled by Song Dynasty.

On the other side, under Yiyang, Sun Quan looked at the city wall. It had been besieged for a month, but this city gave Sun Quan a feeling that it was impenetrable. Every time he attacked the city wall, he was swept down by Fang Jie, Si Xingfang and others. Sun Quan felt a sense of hope and sigh.

The lack of strong generals is an unsolvable problem whether it is Jiangdong in the original time and space, or the era of Sun Ce in this time and space, or now in the era of Sun Quan. Even because of the birth of Lu Heng in this time and space, Tai Shici, Gan Ning, and Zhou Tai are not in Sun Quan men.

Every time Sun Quan looked at Fang Jie, Si Xingfang, Fang Tianding, Fang Qifo and others in the city, he felt itchy to hate each other. If Fang La hadn't had such a big ambition, these fierce generals would have been under his command!What are you worried about Song?
