"No!" As soon as Lu Meng finished speaking, Yu Fan, who was under Sun Quan's tent, shouted loudly.
Sun Quan was very unhappy and looked at Yu Xiang without saying anything. Yu Xiang said indifferently: "Wu Hou. Xu Yuanzhi visited us before, and the iron-armored warship was invincible. The Youzhou naval army was powerful,
It can be seen that with such strength, how dare I win the Jiangnan navy?”
As soon as Yu Fan said this, the civil and military officials under Sun Quan who had seen the iron-armored warship that Xu Shu had taken on could not help but nodded. However, Yu Fan did not give up and continued, "What's more, the two armies."
When fighting, the key is to know yourself and your enemy. Now, how strong my Jiangnan naval army is, we know it all. However, who can we know what the Youzhou naval army is,? Knowing yourself but not knowing your enemy and having no measure, so how can we win.
?”
Faced with Yu Fan's questioning, Sun Quan and others thought twice.
Yu Fan concludes and persuades: "The army will attack the plan, and those who have more temples will win, while those who have few temples will lose. Now our army has very few calculations, and if we attack rashly, we will inevitably lose. In this way, we will wait for our army to do so.
The defeat, the Marquis of Wu lost all his money. How could our army resist Liu Ming when Cao's army was defeated? At that time, he was in a desperate situation and asked to surrender again. He would not be valued by others. It would be better to take advantage of this time that the army was weak and not revealed.
Lord Zhang’s plan can help Wu Hou’s blessings and preserve some face.”
As soon as Yu Fan finished speaking, Xue Zong immediately agreed: "What Zhongxiang said is actually the words of a straight minister. Now, Liu Ming has been abdicated and the orthodox position of the Han Dynasty is impeccable. Using the right to fight against the rebellion is actually the same.
Where is the righteousness? It is not suitable for the enemy to resist it. Moreover, Cao Cao was in danger of protection, and our alliance was to break up and make the current plan, as Zibu and Zhongxiang said, accepting surrender as soon as possible, and it is a perfect plan."
With Yu Fan and Xue Zong took the lead, Sun Quan's subordinates immediately agreed to surrender.
The voices of Lu Meng and other military generals were suppressed again. Sun Quan's brows became even more and more frowned.
"My dear masters, this is a bad word! The so-called: Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment. If the enemy is powerful and our army surrenders without fighting, what is the use of lord to raise troops and soldiers?" Everyone looked at it with their eyes.
, but Lu Xun stood up and said.
Lu Ji immediately sneered and said, "What's the use of raising soldiers? If you can defeat the Youzhou military horses, why do we need to argue here? It's because you are incompetent that we have to serve the lord to preserve the bloodline of our lord.
!”
Lu Ji's words immediately became angry, and all the generals were angry at Lu Ji. Lu Meng couldn't help but scold him, "Master Lu! You and I are both ministers of the lord. Now the Jiangnan disaster is ahead, you don't think about it.
What's the intention of the lord to falsely accuse us of the lord!”
Seeing this, Lu Ji was not timid and said loudly: "Wen is the master of internal affairs, and martial is the master of external affairs. Now the south of the Yangtze River is rich in rice and grain, and the military and horses are all ineffective. Our ministers are worthy of our lords. However,
If everyone knows what the overall situation is today, you have the good intentions to ask me what I am thinking!"
Lu Meng was not a good at speaking, but was speechless for a while because Lu Ji was so angry.
At this time, Yan Jun also stood up and said, "A weapon is a fierce weapon, and the battle is ominous. The saint had no choice but to use it. Now our army can defeat Youzhou. Even if it can win for a while, Cao Cao's battle is already good.
The lights were gone. The Youzhou army and horses that invaded Cao Cao's interior only needed to break one of Cao Cao's three defense lines and connect with Youzhou. Even if our navy can win a great victory, it would not help Cao Cao turn the world around.
If you lose, I can’t support myself in Jiangnan, and it will be a matter of time before the defeat is finally achieved. This is because the overall situation in the world has been decided and cannot be saved by human resources. As Mr. Zibu said, I will accept the surrender early and think it is perfect."
Sun Quan is so immense. In order to protect himself, these family forces are connected together, which is really powerful.
And at this moment, someone came to report that the three generals, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai, came back. Sun Quan was overjoyed and quickly summoned him.
Not long after, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai walked in, saw Sun Quan and stood aside. Sun Quan hurriedly told the current differences to the three elders. Cheng Pu immediately furiously said: "Corrupt Confucians are wrong."
Country! The soldiers defend the country, how can they be defeated without fighting? Even if there are iron-armored warships in Youzhou, I will get the boats in Jiangnan, and I will be able to beat the poles again? And! The two armies are fighting, the first one is the commander of the general and the most powerful general, and the second one is the military elite
, military equipment and other items, followed by. With the great general of our naval army, our Jiangnan soldiers are brave enough to use their lives. With the consistent orders of our naval army, which army cannot fight? "
Faced with Cheng Pu's questioning, Zhang Zhao and others dared not speak. Previously, although Lu Meng and Lu Xun were also strong in their fight, Lu Meng and Lu Xun's qualifications were still a little poor, and they didn't care about it by Yu Fan and others.
It was refuted. But Cheng Pu was an old minister of three generations. Whether it was qualifications or prestige, it was not something others could question.
Sun Quan looked happy and immediately pushed the case up, pulled out the sword in his waist, cut off the table with one sword and said, "I have decided to fight Youzhou hard, and there are those who surrender again! The same as this case!"
Seeing that Sun Quan was like this, no one dared to speak anymore.
However, after Sun Quan issued the order, he did not transfer Zhou Yu to Xuzhou to fight Youzhou. Now, Lu Su was abducted by Xu Shu, and he was not very worried about Zhou Yu's Sun Quan, so he could not be at this critical moment.
Let Zhou Yu lead the army.
Sun Quan immediately ordered Cheng Pu to be the commander, Huang Gai as the vanguard, commander Lu Meng, Xu Sheng and other generals. He led 200,000 naval troops to attack Youzhou naval troops and help Cao Cao solve the crisis in the Central Plains.
Cheng Pu got the order and immediately ordered his army to go out to fight. On the way, Cheng Pu summoned all the generals to discuss and said, "The sea battle is vast and boundless. There is no geographical advantage, so it can be planned. It depends on strength! I have never seen the iron-clad ship in Youzhou in person.
But according to rumors, the Youzhou iron-clad ship was made of steel, and the sword was not damaged. It was matched with a horn and was invincible. But I wonder if it was true?"
Lu Xun replied: "Go back to General, I have seen the iron-armored warships in Youzhou with my own eyes. They are indeed made of steel, and it is true."
Han Dang not only praised: "When steel and other objects sink into the water, how can we build a ship? On that day, we heard what Xu Yuanzhi said, and we thought it was a joke, but we didn't want it to be a real thing. It's amazing, weird."
Cheng Pu ignored him and just looked at Lu Xun with some concern and asked, "Since you have seen the iron armored ship, do you know what its shortcomings are? The iron armored ship is so powerful, how should we win?"
Lu Xun said respectfully: "Return to the general, I have been thinking about the iron armored ship in Youzhou that day. Xu Yuanzhi once said that iron armored ships are made of steel, and swords are not damaged. With the impact of the corners, they are invincible. I look at it,
But it is not a false statement. However, the iron-armored ship is heavy, and it must be sailed. Without wind or sail, its speed must be slow. However, our ships rely on boat slurry, and the soldiers use their strength, and their movements are like flying. Even if they are restrained, or
There is a chance of victory when shooting arrows in the distance, or climbing with small boats, fighting with hand-to-hand swords, gathering and annihilation."
When Dong Xi heard this, he shook his head and said, "It's inappropriate, inappropriate. Our river boats cannot compare to sea boats. As the saying goes, clever sails make all sides of wind. The sails of our river boats are generally oriented. Only one side of wind can be withstand it.
But then the merchant ships that walk on the sea will have a flexible sailing, which can make the wind on all sides. The Youzhou navy has no need for a river battle at all. It is mostly a sea battle to destroy pirates, and its sails will definitely make the wind on all sides.
Face the wind. Moreover, the wind and clouds on the sea are difficult to measure, and there are fewer times when there is no wind. If we want to find the windless weather and fight, it is even more difficult. Now our army's military situation is urgent to rescue Cao Cao, and there is no time to wait for the time. And as for the time being, our army has no time to wait for.
It is even more undesirable to shoot from Youzhou navy. The best bows and arrows in our army are purchased from Youzhou. If the Youzhou bows and arrows are controlled, they will definitely not be good products for the military. Our army will be sold.
The bows and arrows are far inferior to those of Youzhou bows and arrows. The two armies shoot from the sea. How can they be their opponent?"
Lu Xun had relatively low qualifications and was still very accepting of Dong Xi's question. He said now: "General Dong is exactly what he said. However, although we cannot control the wind direction, the sails used by the armored warships in Youzhou were
It's still just a sail. As long as our army burns it with rockets, no matter what kind of wind direction it is, there will be no problem. However, our army's long-range bows and arrows are defeated by Youzhou bows and arrows, but they can bravely move forward and fight with hand-to-hand combat. As long as Youzhou iron armor
The warships lost their ability to move. Although our army's warships were small, they could be like wolves pounced on tigers, so that they could win more."
Cheng Pu and others were overjoyed when they heard this, and they all felt that what Lu Xun said was reasonable. They adopted it immediately.
Two days later, Cheng Pu led his army to the boundary of Xuzhou. Thousands of large tower ships and tens of thousands of small fighting ships were really out of sight. He was moving along the coast of the coast with a magnificent momentum.
There are no trees covering the sea. Such a large formation is really visible from a distance. Gan Ning from Youzhou has been trapped in Xuzhou Water Village, although he has not considered that someone can attack him.
But the military rules of Youzhou and the alert ships were still sent far away.
Those sentry ships that were originally on the alert found thousands of sails from afar. When they looked at them, they were all Sun Quan's banner and quickly passed the news back.
When Gan Ning heard this, he was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, he was told by the General Staff that someone really dared to attack our water village. Gan Ning immediately led the fleet and came out to fight.
At this time, Gan Ning had only 40,000 naval troops and 200 armored warships. However, Gan Ning didn't care at all. The practical naval battles over the years have long tempered Gan Ning's fighting spirit. No one is more powerful than Gan's.
Ning knew better. With these iron-armored warships, Gan Ning was confident to fight anyone.
At this time, Cheng Pu, Lu Meng and others were also very confident.
Two confident navy troops met together and opened a battlefield of nearly a hundred miles on the sea.
When Cheng Pu saw Gan Ning's lineup, there were only more than 200 ships, and he was even more confident at the moment. Then he ordered Han Dang and Huang Gai to lead one army to attack. The big ship was in front and the small ship was behind, and they surrounded Gan Ning separately.
Cheng Pu personally led the brigade to pressure the front.
The small boats of the command quickly passed the Cheng Pude military order. The ships on both wings of Cheng Pu's team broke out and drove out from side to side. Each route had more than 200 large ships.
There were countless small boats. After Cheng Pude's team was divided into these two fleets, they still seemed extremely thick, rushing towards the Ganning fleet with great courage.
Cheng Pu even stood on the bow of the boat with a knife in person, and the sound of the rumbling drums seemed extremely majestic.
Now Sun Quan's navy is still in a situation of inconvenience in communication. After the deployment before the war is completed, the only two armies will be left to rush. As long as the two armies fight, the role of the main general will not be the same as killing the enemy.
It has more uses. It is not much different from ordinary soldiers. At most, the general's general's flag is the target of the soldiers. As long as the general's general's flag does not fall, the soldiers will fight with the general's flag.
But! The Ganning navy is not like this now. Although the application of sea flag language and command of ships is not as good as an arm, it is much better than Cheng Pu and others.
Therefore, Gan Ning took the cliff eyes and saw the Jiangnan navy split into two fleets, he rushed up. It was funny at the time. Then he ordered the fleet to be all on the upper left, regardless of Cheng Pude's middle road or Han Dang's right.
Road, first try your best to eliminate Huang Gai's left road.
More than 200 iron-armored warships rushed towards Huang Gai's fleet and thrust into the diagonal. Looking at the direction of the Ganning fleet moving, Han Dang and Cheng Pu were both anxious, thinking that Gan Ning was watching their Jiangnan naval army.
The situation is difficult to defeat, so I chose to break through and escape. Although Gan Ning escaped, it was Cheng Pu and the others' credit. But now Youzhou is in great power, and it is the time when life and death in Jiangnan is at stake. It is rare to destroy Youzhou's strength and encourage one's morale.
How can I miss an opportunity?
Cheng Pu and Han Dang each claimed that sailors would speed up the rowing speed and pursue Ganning's fleet. It was necessary to encircle and annihilate Ganning's fleet. Even Huang Gai's fleet that Ganning had met with him was against Ganning's fleet.
The intention also caused the same misunderstanding. Because Huang Gai is also a veteran in water warfare, Huang Gai knew when he saw the route of Ganning fleet that Ganning's fleet would never meet with his Huang Gai fleet.
, but will row one mile in front of his Huanggai fleet and rush out of the encirclement of their Jiangnan navy. This action is not about turning around and running away, but what? Can the two armies fight one mile away?
Can you get up?
Therefore, Huang Gai also urged the fleet to speed up, and even used the weak to hit the strong, and just held the ship to hit the iron-clad ship in Youzhou.
However, the speed of sailing at sea is still dominated by wind. Manpower is good, and short-distance sprinting is OK, but now this long-distance siege battle is really hard to come to the table for veterans like Gan Ning who are accustomed to sea surfaces.
Huang Gai increased the speed, but Gan Ning only changed the direction of the sails through the flag verb. Gan Ning's fleet still rowed over one mile away from Huang Gai's fleet.
Just when Huang Gai and the others were disappointed and thought that Gan Ning and the others had successfully broken through, Gan Ning did not do as Cheng Pu. Huang Gai and the others wanted, and a huge change happened.
