Han counter current

In the big tent, Zhou Yu was looking through the roster. The names of the generals in the army, the captains promoted in recent years, etc., were all in it. When he saw that Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and other old subordinates were all on it, he was very relieved.

"Lu Meng? Well, I heard that he has performed the best in the past three years. In this battle, he must be honed and honed. By the way, why is Gan Ning's name not on the roster?"

"Here, to report back to the governor, in the past three years, Gan Xingba has not made any great achievements, and his position has also been demoted from the school lieutenant to the captain. There are only more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command, and he is not qualified to appear on the roster. Moreover, My lord, never dispatched Gan Xingba here."

"Bastard, Gan Xingba's bravery is the best in Jiangdong. With this person, our army's vanguard combat effectiveness can rise a few levels. Pass my order to transfer Gan Xingba to the front line. Also, immediately dispatch two thousand soldiers and horses for training. This is Gan Xingba's headquarters."

"Here, Gan Xingba is currently suppressing bandits by the seaside of Kuaiji, and, the lord, should he..."

"I am the governor of the front line, don't I even have the right to dispatch a captain? Immediately pass the order, and the rest will be discussed later."

Although Zhou Yu understands his situation, when it comes to the military, he will not be ambiguous. He knows Gan Ning's ability, and the position of forward general is the most suitable for him. As for the other generals such as Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, although they are An old subordinate, but now it is not so easy to command.

Furthermore, only a strong general like Gan Ning, who has a low position and outstanding ability, can fight the enemy desperately and strive for meritorious service when he goes to the battlefield. The other generals seem to lack this kind of energy at present.

Chapter 846 Two armies against each other 1

On the banks of the Yangtze River, the army gathered. After three years, the elites from the north and the south gathered here again, intending to have a showdown. The unbeaten game three years ago should be ended today.

Yan Cheng personally led the generals of the armies to rein in the horses on the bank of the Yangtze River. On the gray surface of the river, waves could be heard from time to time, and the warships were forming formations on the surface of the river. This momentum was really extraordinary.

"The 20 Jingzhou naval forces have been trained for three years. Whether it is warships, weapons, or armor, they have been innovating all the time. The purpose is to defeat the enemy on the Yangtze River.

Soldiers, these years, the Jiangdong rats have always claimed that water warfare is the best in the world. They arrogantly shouted at us, claiming to trample us under their feet.

For three years, we have trained hard, shed blood and sweat, for what?The Jingzhou navy was supposed to overwhelm the crowd, but over the years, have you asked yourself if you have done it?

Now, the opportunity is right in front of you, whether it is a shame or a meritorious deed, as long as you can defeat the enemy, all the glory and fame that belong to you will come back. Tell me, what do you want to do now? "

"Fight, fight, fight,,,,,,"

Speaking before the battle and boosting morale, Yan Cheng learned these methods from Chen Feng. He understood that speeches can arouse the emotions of the soldiers and boost the morale of the army. Right now, the battle has not yet begun, so it is time to guide the soldiers.

Although the current Yan Cheng is still young, his momentum and majesty are comparable to those of the famous generals in the world. Behind him, Cai Mao and other Jingzhou veterans all showed awe.

"This is the talent cultivated by the general, not the best one, tsk tsk, the younger generation is showing their ferocity, and their worship and loyalty to the general are even higher than the previous generation.

With these young people here, even if Jiangdong cannot be defeated this time, it is only a matter of time before the world can be unified. General, my subordinates really admire your skills. "

There are too many things in Cai Mao's heart that he can't say. Back then, he was only able to return to his family because of Chen Feng's favor and avenged blood. Over the years, he has also witnessed Chen Feng's strength and growth. Seeing that his side has become so strong, Cai Mao I am very pleased.

Under Yan Cheng's order, the Jingzhou navy was as busy as it was three years ago, building camps on the shore and water villages by the river. Just this busy figure filled the north bank of the Yangtze River. Seeing the detailed work of the Jiangdong Army, everyone was terrified Don't dare to go forward.

"Are you here? This time, it seems to be stronger. The spies came to report that the enemy's commander is the young junior Yan Cheng, who was considered to be against me three years ago. Unexpectedly, Chen Feng was only sent to the front to command the battle.

I thought it would be a confrontation with such heroes as Chen Feng or Gongsun Xu, hehe, it seems that they will not satisfy my wish, let me defeat this Yan Cheng first, and then force you all out. "

On the south bank of the Yangtze River, Zhou Yu, the governor of the Jiangdong Navy, stood on the deck of a large ship, his eyes were calm, and he could not see the feeling of going to war at all.

Since the war that year, he has been dormant in his hometown. Except for teaching children and training soldiers, he basically never goes out.

There is no way, he is in an embarrassing situation. He has the highest prestige and reputation in Jiangdong, but he has to be the most careful in his behavior. Even if old friends in the army come to visit, he avoids them.

If the Northern Army hadn't launched such a war again, I am afraid that Zhou Yu would have to stay at home, maybe five years, maybe ten years, and when Zhou Yu was useless, he would be forgotten by the world.

But for a long time, Zhou Yu thought that he was born for this era. Whether it is the hero Cao Cao, the hypocrite Liu Bei, or the current general Chen Feng, these heroes should become his defeats, because they He is the one who can be called the current military strategist.

"Come on, send an order to order Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to lead their own troops to harass the enemy, so as not to allow them to set up camp so easily. In addition, send spies to sneak into the other side and wait for an opportunity to create panic."

The appetizers before the battle are always served a little earlier. Zhou Yu's ability to lead the army has long been the best in the world, and now he is fighting against the younger generation, of course he will take the lead first.

Three years ago, the enemy army had millions of soldiers, and in the end Zhou Yu, dressed in white, resisted on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Originally, according to Zhou Yu's plan, he could defeat the enemy army and cross the Yangtze River.

But in the end, Zhou Yu failed to achieve the goal after all, which is a small regret. Now that there is another opportunity in front of him, Zhou Yu really wants to try again.

Half a day later, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin led their troops back, harassing the enemy was their best war, but this time, they failed, not only failed to harass the enemy, but also damaged some of their subordinates.

"Great Governor, the two of us failed to complete the task, please punish the Great Governor."

"Oh? Is the enemy army so powerful? Neither of you can harass the enemy army? Tell me, how many warships and soldiers did the enemy army dispatch, and how did you coordinate?"

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin are generals under their command and are good at water warfare. It can be said that there are few people in this world who can match them when leading troops to fight on the river.

"Here, to report to the Commander, the two of us were bombarded back before approaching the enemy's shore. The enemy's main warship was huddled in the water fortress and did not fight, and the small ships also avoided fighting."

When he said this, Zhou Tai was still a little frustrated. He thought he could show off his power like he did back then, but he didn't want to suffer a dark loss as soon as the battle started.

"Why, in detail?"

"The enemy army built several rows of fortresses on the shore, and there were Thunderbolt chariots in each of the fortresses. The enemy's thunderbolt chariots had a range of more than three hundred steps than those three years ago. Our small boats could not carry the enemy. The bombardment of the army, it was bombarded and collapsed before reaching the shore."

"Thunderbolt car? Sure enough, it is rumored that Chen Feng is the most concerned about strange skills and ingenuity. He has encouraged craftsmen to innovate since the beginning of Liaoxi. Most of the participating children of the Mohists belong to him. Now it seems that in the past three years, how many Northern Army A lot of sharp weapons have been released."

Speaking of battlefield weapons such as thunderbolt cars, Zhou Yu couldn't help thinking of his former friend Zhuge Liang. Back then, with Zhuge Liang's help, the Jiangdong Army also had a battlefield weapon.

"Understood. It seems that the enemy army came prepared. They built such a line of defense on the shore to prevent our small boats from approaching. The order is passed on. Without my general's order, all armies are not allowed to attack without authorization."

Zhou Yu frowned when he thought that the enemy had built so many Thunderbolt cars on the north bank. This Yan Cheng was really willing to spend the money. You must know that building Thunderbolt cars is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also difficult to maintain. Could it be that, Is the Northern Army already rich to this extent?

Chapter 847 Two armies against each other 2

On the banks of the Yangtze River, the elites of the North and the South have been confronting each other for almost a month. During this time, both sides have taken the initiative to attack, either to test each other, or to intimidate.

In general, the Jingzhou Army is not weaker than its opponents in terms of numbers or combat power. Even if the Jiangdong Army has a world-class military strategist like Zhou Yu, it can make up for many, many hardware disadvantages.

At the beginning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ding Feng and other fierce generals in the Jiangdong Army took turns to attack, intending to cause some losses to the enemy in order to boost their morale. However, the enemy was too prepared.

It is very difficult for the warships of the Jiangdong Army to approach the opposite bank from the water. Except for the thunderbolt chariots arranged by the Northern Army on the shore, the warships of the Jingzhou Army on the river are not vegetarian. If the Jiangdong Army navy wants to approach, they must weigh their weight up.

It wasn't until Gan Ning was ordered to arrive at the camp by the river that the Jiangdong army's sneak attack had some effect. Unlike Zhou Tai and others, Gan Ning did not rely entirely on warships to attack.

After learning about the arrangement of the Northern Army on the opposite bank and the strength of the Jingzhou Navy, Gan Ning selected a hundred brave men from his subordinates, and then crossed the river in the dark, causing quite a mess in the Northern Army camp .

Before leaving, Gan Ning also burned three Thunderbolt chariots by the way. Although he did not kill many enemy troops, Gan Ning's courage and courage are rare in the world.

"It's that Gan Ning Gan Xingba again. Unexpectedly, this person has such courage and courage to lead a mere 100 people to attack our army camp at night. Hehe, it's interesting. No wonder the foster father praised him so much."

In the commander's tent, after listening to the report of his subordinates, Yan Cheng didn't show much anger on his face. The two sides have won and lost each other these days, but it has no effect on the overall situation. This can only be regarded as a test before the war.

Compared with three years ago, Zhou Yu's ability has not regressed. He is even more experienced in the use of troops. If the Northern Army has an absolute advantage in troops and warships, it may be difficult to resist the Jiangdong Army's attack.

Of course, Yan Cheng himself is not bad. Among the younger generation, there are few people who can compare with him. This is also the key reason why Chen Feng dared to send him to command the army.

In the Jiangdong Army camp, teams of patrolling soldiers stood firm on their posts in an orderly manner. There had been a case of Northern Army warships attacking Jiangdong Army's water village before, so the defense on the south bank could not be relaxed at all.

In the big tent, Zhou Yu summoned several capable assistants to analyze the enemy's attack and purpose. After these days of probing, he already had a general understanding of the enemy's army.

"Yan Cheng's ability can be regarded as excellent. At least, he can control hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses on the front line. Generals such as Cai Hao and Zhang Yun in the Jingzhou Navy also respect his orders. There is not much inconsistency to be seen.
