Because You County, an important town centered on Changsha Jidong, is still under the control of the Wu army.

The waterway going south cannot be opened smoothly.

Zhao Tong and his troops could only travel by land.

All the way.

Zhao Tong, Liu Yin, and Guan Ping observed the development of the battle.

In the meantime, Guan Ping thought for a long time and said: "If Lu Meng hears that the main force of our army wants to conquer Guiyang County, he will most likely station troops in Leiyang to control the north gate of Guiyang."

"Moreover, the Lei River is connected to You County, and Wu Jun can also use the waterway to transmit the situation between the two places."

"Currently, our navy is stationed in Baqiu and the public security area to guard against the Lukou downstream."

"Ping guesses that the next difficulty for our army will be how to crack the enemy's water defense line."

After a while, the words fell.

Since he and his father have been in Jingzhou for a long time, they are naturally much more familiar with the terrain in southern Jingzhou, and they are the most qualified to speak at this moment.

The three of them were silent.

After a long time, Liu Yin showed doubts and asked: "In addition to the water defense line, are there any other breakthroughs?"

"I'm afraid this may be a bit difficult."

"Leiyang is somewhat special. It is surrounded by tributaries of the Lei River on all sides. No matter where our army chooses to launch its attack, it will ultimately be unable to bypass the Wu army's water defense line."

Guan Ping looked serious and explained slowly.

"That makes sense!"

After saying this, Tong Zhao also affirmed pertinently: "The combat power of the Wu navy cannot be underestimated. How to break through the Leiyang defense line will have to wait until it is strong enough to make a decision based on the actual situation!"

"If Youchang can persuade the Wuxi barbarians to join the battle, then the Wu army will not have anything to worry about."

Even though he had defeated Lü Meng previously, Zhao Tong still showed an extremely calm expression on his face, and his eyes were clear and clear.

Lu Meng's ability should not be underestimated!

The reason why he was able to win before was that he took advantage of the Wu people's lack of intelligence and used secrets to attack the enemy.

If they were to fight face to face, Lu Meng's tactical command ability could be regarded as master level.

Zhao Tong knew this very well.

The army marched towards the camp step by step.

The Jingzhou Army stationed on the north bank of Lei River outside Leiyang City.

Settled here.

Zhao Tong did not immediately organize his soldiers to cross the Lei River to attack the city.

Instead, he first ordered Liu Yin to lead his troops to move closer to the northeast of Leiyang.

They were divided into more than ten groups and successively occupied the Leishui beaches around Fangyuan.

This move could not be concealed from Wu Jun's eyes and ears.

The scouts quickly reported the movements of the Jingzhou army.

After Wu Jiang heard this, they all frowned. During this period, General Dong Xi raised his hands and said solemnly: "This..."

"General, I'm afraid the enemy's move is to cut off the connection between You County and our army."

"General, please lead an army to defend the situation to prevent the situation from becoming unfavorable!"

A solemn invitation to fight ended.

Lu Meng's face was serious and extremely calm, and he waved his hand to signal him not to act rashly!

"General, this move..."

"Don't worry too much about the enemy's movements like this. They are just trying to deceive our troops, but they are actually diverting our troops' attention."

"The Jingzhou army is taking advantage of the opportunity to cross the Lei River, and their troops are approaching the city."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Meng slowly explained.

Dong Xi finally came to his senses, but then he couldn't help but worry: "But what if the enemy forces cut off the water channel between our army and You County?"

"Wouldn't that put you at a disadvantage?"

"This matter is okay. I have received a military report. It is said that at this moment, the navy of the Jingzhou Army is deployed in Baqiu and the public security area to guard against Lukou."

"At this moment, the enemy army lacks naval forces, so there is no way to block the waterway communication between the two places."

"Our army can just ignore it!"

The words of Yi Ji Ji are finished.

Seeing that Lu Meng could see it very clearly, General Wu also nodded in agreement and agreed.

North bank of Lei River.

Camp room.

"how's it going?"

"Can Wu Jun take the bait?"

Seeing the scouts rushing into the big tent, Guan Ping immediately asked him sternly.

"Reporting to the Major General, the Wu army is standing still and there is no sign of moving troops."

"Okay, I understand, let's go down and rest first!"

"Here!"

After the scouts surrendered, Guan Fangfang turned his attention to Zhao Tong, stared at him closely, and said solemnly for a long time: "Ah Tong, it seems that your strategy has failed. Lu Meng did not fall into the trap."

"Well, Lu Meng is indeed difficult to deal with. I had already predicted that."

After saying this, Zhao Tong also nodded solemnly in response.

"Lü Meng didn't fall into the trap, how will Atong prepare to respond next?"

"It's okay, brother-in-law, you can dispatch another unit to the northwest of Leishui."

"Huh? Why is this? If we arrange the formation like this, then our army's strength will be extremely scattered."

"If Lu Meng sees the right opportunity and gathers the main force to take advantage of the opportunity to attack a certain party, wouldn't it be okay?"

Guan Ping has been with Guan Yu for a long time and naturally has some understanding of the use of troops. At this moment, he also does not understand Zhao Tong's abnormal behavior.

"Brother-in-law, even you feel that this use of troops is too unreasonable. Then won't the enemy general also be confused?"

"Soldiers, rails too!"

"Now the general has a deeper understanding of this art of war. If he can use some means to confuse the enemy generals, he has already taken the initiative in the battle."

As soon as this was said.

Guan Ping looked thoughtful, seeming to understand, but also seemed a little confused.

Give instructions.

The new movements of the Jingzhou Army once again reached Wu Camp.

At this moment, even Lu Meng couldn't help but be confused by this tactic. He couldn't help but wonder: "The enemy is probably singing this to confuse our army, right?"

"It's just that, with the troops so scattered, are you really not afraid that I will gather the whole army to attack one place and use it as a breakthrough?"

Looking at the analysis of the current battle situation, he also felt suspicious for a while, and pondered: "With the ability of the enemy general, it is impossible not to think of this, so what is his intention?"

"Is it intentional?"

After a series of guesses, Lu Meng quickly made a decision and issued the order.

Order the generals and their troops to cross the river along the enemy's eastern and western garrison locations to launch small-scale exploratory attacks.

He wanted to use this to clarify the enemy general's true intentions.

After the various units of the Wu army launch their offensive.

Zhao Tong was securely stationed in the camp and commanded in an orderly manner: "Just order all the troops to stand ready. If the enemy is only making a tentative attack, the number of troops must be small."

"Don't panic, just stick to the orders!"

"Probe again and report again!"

"Here."

An order was passed down.

The scout once again accepted the order and retreated.

As the two armies saw each other's tricks on both sides of the Lei River, it could be said that they were meeting their opponents and meeting their talents.

After repeated trials, Zhao Tong still failed to crack the slightest flaw in the Wu army's defense line defending Lei Shui.

I couldn't find a good opportunity to cross the river.

Lu Meng was as stable as a rock at this moment and did not give this chance at all.

Under repeated temptations and temptations.

Looking at Wu Jun, he still didn't move.
Chapter completed!
