Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 459
Regarding these two big defeats, Tai Shici was also in admiration, losing nothing to say.

It can only be said that Zhou Yu's timing is steady and ruthless every time he goes into battle, and it is at the stage when Tai Shici's soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion have just defeated the enemy, chased and killed the defeated enemy and relaxed.

The sudden change at this time made Tai Shici's soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion unable to react in time, and couldn't turn around for a while.

To be honest, thanks to the well-trained soldiers of Tai Shici's Shenjian Battalion, at the critical moment, the soldiers who were scattered by Zhou Yu's army could form a small-scale army to fight back, so Tai Shici was defeated by Zhou Yu twice. None of the raids really suffered a major defeat of annihilation.

Of course, it was also because Zhou Yu's soldiers were still new troops after all, and lacked some lethality on the battlefield. Therefore, apart from gaining some advantages with the help of surprise attacks at first, they would also respond with the well-trained soldiers of the Taishi Mercy God's Arrow Battalion. On the battlefield, he gradually became weak and weak, so that he could not completely defeat Tai Shici's soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion.

If Zhou Yu's soldiers had the same training speed and combat effectiveness as the soldiers of the Shenjian Battalion, it would be a blessing if there were still two thousand soldiers left in the Shenjian Battalion.

After Tai Shi Ci thought about it carefully, he could only secretly warn himself while being shocked, that he must be careful to leave a reserve force in the future, or carefully investigate the situation around the battlefield to prevent such a thing from happening again.

Anyway, Wang Yuyan received the news from Tai Shici. After being surprised at the beginning, she could only feel that Zhou Yu was really extraordinary. He was able to fight such a war with the mob under his command. It really couldn't give Zhou Yu and Sun Ce more development and growth. It's time.

Fortunately, Wang Yuyan's overall situation in Jiangdong has been set up now, and now it is just a step by step to encroach on Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's soldiers.

Soon Wang Yuyan sent troops from Moling County to Danyang City, but left Yu Yu with [-] Liu Yao's old soldiers to guard Moling County, so that Sun Ce's soldiers could not easily take it back and cut off Wang Yuyan's army. Grain roads on land.

On the way, Wang Yuyan also joined the [-] God Arrow Battalion army led by Tai Shici, so Wang Yuyan's army returned to nearly [-]. After a while, the army she commanded had already approached Danyang City.

However, news came from Danyang City at this time that Sun Ce had broken through Danyang City. Liu Yao, who was seriously ill, was protected by the remnant soldiers led by Hua Xin and Zhang Ying. Withdrew to the direction of the Yangtze River and joined the Jiangling Army under Cai Mao who led his troops down the river to the east.

As for the more than 2 Jiangling naval forces led by Cai Mao, they have also occupied two important areas of the Yangtze River in Dantu County (now Zhenjiang area) and Jiyang Township (now Jiangyin area) in Piling County, especially Jiyang Township in Piling County. Bian is where Sun Ce's army attacked Jiangdong this time and crossed the river to enter Wujun.

This Jiyang Township in Piling County is where the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River is located. This river surface is the narrowest area of ​​the Yangtze River. The Wanli Yangtze River suddenly tightens here, and then releases in the shape of a trumpet.

Therefore, Jiangyin has always been the "first fortress" guarding the throat of the Yangtze River in later generations.

Of course, at this time, the Jiangyin section of the Yangtze River in Jiyang Township, Piling County has not been paid much attention. After all, the whole world was originally unified by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Naturally, there is no such thing as the Jiangyin section that guards the throat of the Yangtze River.

Besides, Wu Jun was originally under the control of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wu Jun. Xu Gong didn't pay much attention to this side, so Liu Yao in Danyang City naturally didn't want to interfere too much.

In fact, in the original history, the area controlled by the Sun family of Soochow also crossed the Yangtze River and included a certain area of ​​Guangling County, so this section of the Jiangyin River also belongs to the internal territory of Soochow Wu, so in this day and age, the Jiangyin River section does not belong to it. An important place in Jiangfang that is valued by people.

However, as Zhu Wei affected the situation in Jiangdong, Sun Ce could only retreat to Guangling County. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu naturally thought about Jiangdong's territory, and often considered how to cross the Yangtze River from Guangling County so that they could launch an attack on Jiangdong Invasion warfare.

In this way, the two of them quickly discovered the significance of the Jiangyin section for crossing the Yangtze River, so Sun Ce and Yan Baihu secretly contacted and reached an alliance agreement.

Then, with the secret help of Yan Baihu, Sun Ce crossed the river from Jiangyin and directly attacked Wu County, the old nest of Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun, and won the Sun family's first battle in Jiangdong.

But Yan Baihu sent troops from Wucheng across Taihu Lake and sent troops from the south side of Wu County, so that he could attack Wu County together with Sun Ce from the north. .

After that, Sun Ce returned to the west to attack Danyang City, and Yan Baihu returned to the south to attack Qiantang County, which triggered the subsequent changes in Jiangdong.

But now under the arrangement of Wang Yuyan, the more than 2 Jiangling navy commanded by Cai Mao is above the Yangtze River. Naturally, no opponent can stop it, so Cai Mao's Jiangling navy easily occupied Dantu and Jiyang Township, Piling County The two important places on the Yangtze River completely cut off Sun Ce's retreat back to Guangling County.

Nadantu County is mainly due to its special geographical location. It faces the Yangtze River on both sides of the east and north. Now Sun Ce controls the main roads in the area.

Previously, Tai Shici used water to land in Dantu County, and then went west to Jurong County, where he took control of the county between Moling County and Danyang County.

As for Cai Mao's navy after occupying Dantu County, they did not intend to directly send troops to rescue Danyang City. Instead, they continued eastward along the Yangtze River and occupied Jiyang Township, Piling County before sending troops ashore to recover Wu. Wu County, the seat of the county.

Although Wu County was jointly captured by Sun Ce and Yan Baihu, according to the secret agreement of Sun Ce and Yan Baihu, Wu County seemed to be handed over to Yan Baihu's territory, so the troops stationed in Wu County also belonged to Yan Baihu.

An ordinary general under Yan Baihu commanded more than a thousand troops, guarding the county that now seemed to be in the rear.

As for Yan Baihu and his younger brother Yan Yu, they brought the main force of their subordinates, but they confronted Wang Lang's army in Qiantang County. After Cai Mao's navy landed from Jiyang Township, they almost left Sun Ce's attack on Wu County. According to the route, Wu County was recovered with almost no effort.

Yan Baihu's subordinates who were guarding Wu County did not expect anyone to attack Wu County, so Cai Mao sent his brother Cai Xun to lead five thousand Jiangling navy soldiers to easily attack Wu County, which was defenseless.

Afterwards, Cai Mao led his army to sail along the waterway between the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, posing to attack Yan Baihu's lair, Wucheng. Along the way, most of the counties and townships in Wu County surrendered.

The news quickly spread to Yan Baihu in Qiantang County. Yan Baihu also hurriedly withdrew his troops from Qiantang County, preparing to protect his home base of Wucheng County.

In this way, the dangerous situation on Wang Lang's side in Kuaiji was resolved. On the contrary, Wang Lang also sent general Zhou Xin and Kan Ze, a famous scholar who had just arrived in Jiangdong, to Wucheng with Kuaiji soldiers, preparing to join forces with Zhu Wei's Cai Mao. Department, together to wipe out Yan Baihu's sect thieves...
